"Piss & Garbage's Gillette": The Worst An Ad Can Get

Italy Saves Europe’s Dignity Over US Bullying Of Venezuela

'The hypocritical arrogance is priceless.'

Via The Strategic Culture Foundation: It’s comically ironic. France has now recalled its ambassador from Rome in a mounting row over Italy’s alleged “interference” in French internal political affairs. This is at the same that France and other European states are joining in a brazen campaign by the United States to overthrow the elected president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. Irony doesn’t come much thicker than that.
The row between France and Italy is but the latest in a long-running spat between French President Emmanuel Macron and the newly elected coalition government in Rome. The Italian government is an unlikely coalition between the left-leaning Five Star Movement (5SM) and a rightwing party, La Lega (The League).
Both parties are highly critical of the EU establishment and neoliberal capitalist polices which France’s former Rothschild banker-turned-president Macron embodies.

Well, we have some more results in on the impact of Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments - handing out free money to citizens with no strings attached.
As part of its experiment, in Finland 2,000 unemployed people aged 25-58 were paid a tax-free €560 (£490) monthly income. This was independent of any other income they had and not conditional on looking for work.

Are We Back on a Gold Standard? + Lightning Storm

Max and Stacy discuss central banks on a gold buying spree and what that suggests is in our global monetary and trade policy future. The volume of gold buying has not been seen since 1967 when the world was, in fact, on a gold standard. Does this indicate we are, indeed, back on a quasi-gold standard if USD trade surplus is being converted into hard money, regardless of formal agreements to that effect?

You Make Me Feel Unsafe - The Making Of A Feminist Boogieman

HoneyBadgerRadio: Join HBR Talk as we discuss one of victim cultists' favorite weapons in recent years, the wrongthink boogeymen, wherein they claim to "feel unsafe" merely because something someone has said doesn't fit their narrative, or in the presence of someone who has been slandered by their ideological comrades. This has become the cult's primary means of engagement with any independent thinker they encounter. How powerful of a weapon against dissent will it be?
