Amir Tsarfati: New York-Based Signature Bank Collapses After Silicon Valley Bank. Analysts warn that America is about to get hit by a financial crisis worse than the one in 2008. Pope Francis speaks out on ‘gender ideology’ This is the only thing he said rightly, I can think of - So Ready The pontiff has warned that transgenderism is one of the “most dangerous ideological colonizations” Pope Francis reiterated his opposition to transgenderism on Friday, warning that it’s a “dangerous ideology” and arguing that its proponents are naïve if they believe they’re on the “path to progress.” “Gender ideology, today, is one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations,” the pope said in an interview to Argentina’s La Nacion newspaper. “Why is it dangerous? Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women.” The pontiff has repeatedly spoken out against gender theory over the years, even as he has emphasized the need to be welcoming and provide pastoral care for transgender people. For instance, he has likened gender ideology to nuclear arms and genetic manipulation, and he has warned that it’s part of a “global war” against marriage and the family. He has frequently used the term “ideological colonization” in reference to cases in which influential organizations and governments require developing countries to accept abortion, contraception and Western values before they can receive aid money. For example, he lamented to Catholic bishops in 2016 that schoolchildren were being taught that they can choose their gender. “Why are they teaching this? Because the books are provided by the people and institutions that give you money.” The pope told La Nacion that transgenderism ignores inescapable differences between men and women. “All humanity is the tension of differences,” he said. “It is to grow through the tension of differences. The question of gender is diluting the differences and making the world the same – all dull, all alike, and that is contrary to the human vocation.” The Congregation for Catholic Education, the Vatican office that provides official guidance to Catholic schools, issued a document in June 2019 dismissing gender ideology as “nothing more than a confused concept of freedom in the realm of feelings and wants.” It added that such theories seek to “annihilate the concept of nature.” Link: https://www.rt.com/news/572827-pope-warns-of-gender-ideology-dangers/ Fair Use Trading Halted at 30 Banks as Market Opens: Trading was halted Monday at numerous banks at market open.

Silicon Valley Bank fallout starts to spread around the world: SVB had branches in Canada, the UK, China, Denmark, Germany, India, Israel and Sweden, and the scenes coming out of California are just the beginning. The fallout from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is beginning to spread around the world. Startup founders in California’s Bay Area are panicking about access to money and paying employees. Fears of contagion have reached Canada, where the bank’s loan book has doubled in the past year. SVB’s unit in the UK is set to be declared insolvent, has already ceased trading and is no longer taking new customers. On Saturday, the leaders of roughly 180 tech companies sent a letter calling on UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to intervene. “The loss of deposits has the potential to cripple the sector and set the ecosystem back 20 years,” they said in the letter seen by Bloomberg. “Many businesses will be sent into involuntary liquidation overnight.” https://www.jpost.com/business-and-innovation/banking-and-finance/article-734050 Hold onto your hats! Here we go. The ride could get bumpy. Let's hope we are out of here soon. US Cattle Prices Hit Nine-Year High As National Herd Drops To Half-Century Low: If you've been to your local butcher or checked out the meat section in a supermarket, you're aware that beef prices are still high, and in some instances, are continuing to rise. Readers have been well informed about "beeflation" and why it's happening. Due to the continued scarcity of beef cattle supplies, there appears to be no relief in sight, and as a result, cash markets have risen this week to $165 per 100 pounds - the highest level since the record peaks of 2014. At this point nine years ago, ranchers resorted to reducing their herds to combat the high feed prices and drought. As we noted the other day, "Americans need to be prepared to eat a lot less beef, because the size of the national cattle herd is steadily shrinking." According to the latest report from the USDA, the number of beef cows in this country has fallen to the lowest level since 1962… Don Roose, the founder of US Commodities, a grain and livestock investment and management firm, recently warned: "We're still in the contraction phase." "It takes a long time to build a herd back up again." I saw this interesting post on another forum board Regarding the Silicon Valley Banking collapse and connection to trying to bring down the Israeli govt of Netanyahu and prevent him from reining in the judiciary 😉 She said I think it might point to one of the spiritual aspects of this banking collapse and where we are on the timeline towards the tribulation. Preparing for the switch to digital. Create a crisis-- never let a crisis go to waste and then provide a "solution" to herd the people where you want them to go. It's dominoes right now. One falls, putting pressure on others who fall and the ripples spread outwards. I'm going to mention an interesting connection to the apple of God's eye-- Israel right at ground zero for this banking collapse. George (her husband) remembered hearing how the leftist wokesters in ISRAEL were putting pressure on the high tech companies to pull out of investments in Israel. a lot listened and transferred to Silicon Valley Bank that failed first. The wokesters in question were in Israel, part of the leftist protests against judicial reform. They are trying to bring down the Israeli govt of Netanyahu and prevent him from reining in the judiciary which is unelected, and supposed to uphold the laws, not rule the country. They didn't care if it destroyed the Israeli economy in the process. They are so keen to destroy Netanyahu that consequences didn't even cross their tiny brains. They are acting like the BDS movement elsewhere. They are leftists and acting against Israel. They persuaded many to put their money elsewhere. The elsewhere happened to be SVB. The rest is history. That was ground zero. Here is a quote on March 10th from the source George (her husband) listened to on Telegram: "The leaders of the protest againgst the judicial reforms in Israel called for high tech companies to take their money out of Israel because of the "dangerous situation" the country will be in once the reform is implemented. Many listened and transferred their money to the Silicon Valley Bank." that was sent out on the day that SVB collapsed, March 10. Actions have consequences. SVB went along with the wokester agenda and were glad to take funds out of Israeli high tech business in the face of a "threat" that the wokesters delivered. They might have survived a little longer if they hadn't possibly been poking God in the apple of His eye. - Fair Use - California Democrats Seek to Bolster State’s Role as ‘Abortion Haven’ with 17 More Bills: Democrats are keeping their pro-abortion momentum going in the state following Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signing of 15 bills last year, which the report euphemistically dubbed “reproductive health bills.” The state also voted in November to codify abortion on demand into the California Constitution by passing Proposition 1. The new bills were created with the intent to further “strengthen the state’s abortion infrastructure” for state residents, as well as for women coming from out-of-state for abortions, according to the report. I can't help but wonder if this is the reason California is being pounded with these terrible storms?! Vice belatedly joins liberal media in denouncing 'Tradwife' trend in which young women embrace monogamy, motherhood, and homemaking: There is a growing subculture to which many young women now belong called "tradwives." While some adherents glamorize and glorify feminine aesthetics and pop culture idealizations of post-World War II nuclear families, the movement — greatly amplified on TikTok and on other social media platforms in recent months — largely consists of individual efforts to reassert matriarchal dominion over the domestic realm. According to CNN's "culture writer" Harmeet Kaur, the young women who have chosen this lifestyle long denigrated in the media "sneer at what they consider to be modern-day feminism, with its girlbosses and its ungratifying grind, and wax lyrical about the value of traditional gender roles ... sometimes evoking fundamentalist Christian principles in their beliefs." "As tradwives showcase their idyllic, domesticated lives on social media, implicit is the message that today’s women and girls are being 'red pilled' by the feminist movements that promise to liberate them – and that true security and fulfillment can be achieved by reverting to certain norms of the past," added Kaur. While Vice and other publications may regard tradwifery as a Trojan horse for extremism, if Reno is right, it could very well be a defense against it. https://www.theblaze.com/news/vice-belatedly-joins-liberal-media-in-denouncing-tradwife-trend Fiery Riots Erupt in France After Macron Uses Special Power to Raise Retirement Age without Vote: French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday used a special power to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote.
