Mortgage interest rates in Australia are going to be increased in June. Plus the prices here of groceries and oil have skyrocketed in recent weeks. This is definitely a worldwide phenomenon. I believe we are seeing the foreshadowing of the Third Seal Judgement taking place right now but thankfully we will be gone before then. All of this just means we are super-close to the Rapture! :yahoo: Barack Obama Calls for More Censorship: First Amendment ‘Does Not Apply to Facebook and Twitter’: Former President Barack Obama in a major speech on Thursday called for more regulation of social media content, in order to diminish “disinformation.” “The First Amendment is a check on the power of the state. It doesn’t apply to private companies like Facebook and Twitter,” he said, calling for more “value judgments” on content moderation and censorship on social media. The former president complained that current content models for social media platforms allowed all content to flow equally. “[O]ver time we lose our capacity to distinguish between fact, opinion, and wholesale fiction. Or maybe we just stop caring,” he said. Obama also complained that an overwhelming flood of information made it difficult to discern the truth. “Our brains aren’t accustomed to taking in this much information this fast, and a lot of us are experiencing overload,” he said. Obama warned that dangerous people were using social media to distract the public. “While content moderation can limit the distribution of clearly dangerous content, it doesn’t go far enough,” Obama added. “Regulation has to be part of the answer,” Obama said, calling for ways to start “slowing the spread of harmful content” online. He also called for social media algorithms to be regulated by government inspectors and regulators, just like other industries. I agree Wendy! We can see the foreshadowing of the trib getting very, very close! The inflation, oy vey.....grocery prices have gone up a lot, not to even mention gas :calvin , the wars and the technology for the mark....there is a grocery chain here in the US that is going to start using inserted chip technology for payment! ....it means we are going home even sooner!! I also hear the watchmen all over simultaneously becoming more urgent...... time to go!!! :flyup: Disinformation, buyer beware! Disinformation is not on anyone’s list of worries, except for the government! TR More on the “mysterious” fires at these manufacturing food plants … Here are some comments: I did not realize that a fire can quite easily be started through cyber attacks. Monkeywerx reported on this issue with several food processing plants "mysteriously" catching on fire and how this can be just one result of cyber criminals who can trigger hot spots within equipment in the plants. Someone else said and isn’t it strange that the sprinkler systems in these plants didn’t help put out the fires … all the facilities burnt down. I live in South Dakota. We have that so called bird flu. Last I knew they had euthanized 2 million turkeys and I don’t know how many chickens. I have also noticed reading the paper the weirdest food recalls for strange reasons. One was all the soft shells because they were mislabeled for example! People are getting sick eating lucky charms. We have a Tyson meat factory here it will probably go too. Control food, control people. Whoever is causing these blazes want people scared. And starving people will do anything for food … expect crime to increase … Nestle in my hometown Jonesboro, AR had a major fire that has shut down the plant for 8 weeks! It was a strange fire that took them days to put out because they could not find the source of the fire. It did start in the hot pocket section of the factory. But what is going on in shipping off the coast of China is downright apocalyptic. If I were not a Christian, I would be scared witless. Over 1,000 cargo ships sitting in the ocean. People have no clue the famine coming this fall. No one listens. It looks more like 10,000 from the sit-rep. Off the coast of Shanghai, China. The largest shipping port in the world. This person is from Australia Curious if this sort of destruction is happening all over the world. One of the meat facilities near me closed permanently at the end of last year and the mushroom factory and Steggals (chicken processing) near Brisbane (just an hour from me) shut at the end of last year (both facilities and land are currently for sale). - Fair Use - The noose is tightening! - Fair Use - Trump Reveals Trailer of Explosive ‘2000 Mules’ Ballot Harvesting Documentary at Ohio Rally: Former President Donald Trump on Saturday evening played the trailer of the forthcoming explosive documentary “2000 Mules” which reveals a wide-scale ballot trafficking network of ballot harvesters across several swing states. Trump played the trailer at the rally where he is campaigning with J.D. Vance, the candidate he endorsed for U.S. Senate in this year’s Ohio GOP Senate primary. The documentary, the product of a years-long investigation by election integrity group True The Vote and produced by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, has been long-awaited and is chock full of surveillance footage showing specific instances of people taking multiple ballots to drop boxes and making trips to several boxes around their states. The investigation has been anticipated since Breitbart News first revealed it last summer, and Trump has been hyping it for some time now in statements and commentary. On-screen graphics tell viewers that True The Vote used cell phone GPS geo-tracking data across the battleground states. “We identified in Atlanta 242 mules that went to an average of 24 drop boxes,” Phillips says. “In Philadelphia alone, we’ve identified more than 1,100 mules.” When D’Souza asked Engelbrecht to define a “mule,” she replies by saying they are a “person picking up ballots and running them to the drop boxes.” "This is organized crime,” Phillips says. Upcoming on May 4, Trump will host a premiere at his luxurious Palm Beach resort Mar-a-Lago in south Florida. Also, on May 7, there will be a virtual premiere where up to a quarter million can purchase tickets to watch across the country. The film will hit select theaters on May 2 and more information on it is available at 2000mules.com or TrueTheVote.org.

These images are supposedly created from real ballots and then put through the system and counted. These images should be kept by the states but in many states, the images are not maintained. Federal statutes claim that all records related to an election must be maintained for 22 months after the election, yet many states do not do this and are not being held accountable for not doing so. In the current system, there is a feature called the “weighted race” feature. This allows the system to weigh votes. For example, the system allows for some candidates’ votes to be weighted at a ratio of two to one. Other candidates’ votes can be halved, where that candidate’s votes are awarded a half a vote to each vote received. This functionality is built into the software used in voting machines. Dr. Shiva also explained that our votes are stored in decimals in the election system. The system doesn’t show one vote equals 1 vote. In the system, one vote can equal a portion expressed by a decimal. For example, one vote can equal 1.1 or 0.9 depending on the system setup. Votes are not stored as whole numbers in the election system but they are stored as decimals. President Trump’s margin of victory was reduced by a margin of 138,000 ballots minimum. President Trump’s total votes were reduced by a minimum of 69,000 ballots while Biden’s totals were increased by a minimum of 69,000 ballots. Dr. Shiva shared that this transfer of votes happened in a computer algorithm that linearly transferred more votes from President Trump to Joe Biden the more “red” or Republican a particular precinct was.

Gavin Newsom this week claimed he was taking major action to address the drought affecting California and the West. More than 90% of California is in severe drought, up from 65% just one year ago. He said he had created an agreement that was a win-win-win for residents, farmers, and conservationists. In truth, Newsom is starving California of both water and energy. We are in the worst energy crisis in 50 years and yet Newsom is planning to shut down the largest single source of energy in California, the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant. Meanwhile, he has failed to build a single new large water project, despite the fact that California voters in 2014 passed a $2.7 billion water bond to pay for them. Can’t water conservation save us? It can’t. Newsom declared a drought emergency last year and urged residents to reduce our water use by 15%. We only did so by 6%. It’s true that mandatory restrictions between June 2015 and April 2016 reduced water use by 25%. But the state was ultimately rescued in 2017 by large atmospheric river storms, not conservation. Energy and water are related. Energy can create fresh water through desalination. Israel has built so many desalination plants that it is now replenishing the Sea of Galilee. Just nine desalination facilities the size of the Carlsbad Desalination Plant near San Diego would be enough to offset the 2022 loss of water from the Colorado River, calculates Doomberg, a must-read blog for anyone concerned with energy. The same company that operates Carlsbad has been trying to build another desalination plant one hour up the coast, but has failed to do so, despite our historic megadrought. Newsom says he supports the desalination facility but has refused to waive the regulations blocking it. The result of Newsom’s leadership failures could be catastrophic. California is the fifth largest producer of food in the world. We are the largest producer of dairy and food in the U.S. Over a third of America’s vegetables and two-thirds of its fruits and nuts are grown here. And producing food requires water. Already the world faces terrible famines because of an energy crisis created in part by pro-scarcity environmentalists. Now, Newsom’s actions, and inaction, are making scarcity worse. Why is Newsom talking out of both sides of his mouth? Because he cares more about running for president than he does about the people of California. And he believes that running for president requires the support of pro-scarcity environmentalists like the Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and their financial backers. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/why-gavin-newsom-creating-water-energy-disaster
