Mexico's top leader gives the U.S. an ultimatum - amnesty for illegal aliens or more illegal aliens. On his Monday show‚ Alex Jones covered a recent interview where Mexican President Andrés Obrador said that if the U.S. doesn’t legalize millions of illegal aliens‚ Mexico will keep bombarding the border with them. “The flow of migrants will continue‚” he said. In response to criticism that the Mexican President is committing diplomatic blackmail‚ Obrador said he always says what he thinks and feels‚ implying he really does wish to hold America hostage with the threat of demographic suicide via mass illegal immigration.

The former Republican president leads in the polls and is expected to win bigly‚ unless his opponents are successful in all out election theft or massive voter fraud. Former President Donald Trump gave his retort to the seemingly insurmountable bond price being lowered in the property crime case against him‚ a move that prevents all his assets from being stripped of him by his political opposition during the middle of a heated election year. “So what they do is they do election interference‚ which is court cases and let’s try and tie him up and let’s take as much of his money as possible‚” Trump said. The case is based upon the allegation that decades ago‚ the New York real estate tycoon overvalued his Florida estate‚ Mar-a-Lago‚ despite the lending-party appraisers at the time of the loan agreeing on the valuation‚ and the mortgage writer being made whole‚ a victimless situation. “He values Mar-a-Lago at $18 million and people say it’s worth 50 to 100 times that much‚ the biggest experts in the business‚” Trump said. “So he ought to be looked at and [Letitia] James ought to be looked at.” The former president said that New York Attorney General Letitia James acts as the puppet master of the judge in this case.Survival Shield X-3 is BACK at the Infowars Store!

The convenience and security of never being without your credit card is here for users who will take a mark in the forehead or hand to be able to buy and sell. JPMorgan has announced that it will be launching a biometric payment system next year‚ helping it keep up with other major financial corporations like MasterCard and Visa. The country’s biggest bank will be using PopID for the project‚ a technology that uses facial recognition and other methods to verify the identity of an individual. Pilot projects are already underway‚ with one of the first trials taking place at the Formula 1 race in Miami. More trials are planned for this year‚ with a broad rollout expected to follow next year. According to JPMorgan‚ this approach will be safer and quicker than traditional methods of authentication and will work in e-commerce as well as in-person checkouts. By incorporating biometrics into checkout‚ shoppers will not have to take the time to enter e-mail addresses for digital receipts or phone numbers to receive loyalty points‚ for example. For stores‚ the bank is promising better customer loyalty and greater turnover‚ as well as a centralized place for accessing transactions. Although the system will be offered to all businesses‚ the bank is particularly pushing quick-service restaurants‚ convenience stores‚ grocery stores and event venues to embrace the technology.Winter Sun Plus is NOW 25% off! Boost your natural defenses with this powerful vitamin D3 and K formula! The main benefit to JPMorgan is obvious: the opportunity to amass a treasure trove of biometric data. They will also be selling merchants tablets for processing the payments and collecting transaction processing fees. However‚ businesses will also have the option of supplying their own device; the bank says that a checkout counter simply needs a tablet with a camera that can take a picture of a shopper’s face to process the payment. Users who are not afraid of sharing their biometric data with JPMorgan can enroll in the program and verify their identity using biometrics before they will be able to use this payment method at self-service machines and checkouts. They will have the option to use a palm‚ fingerprint‚ or face scan to complete their checkout. In their announcement of the new system‚ JPMorgan noted that forecasts by Goode Intelligence indicate that biometric payments will reach 3 billion global users in the next two years and $5.8 trillion in value. Many people are understandably hesitant to use this type of technology‚ and JPMorgan has assured customers it will be using best practices related to consent‚ privacy‚ data minimization and transparency. The executive director of biometrics and identity solutions at the bank‚ Prashant Sharma‚ said: “There is a perceived sensitivity towards biometrics. We feel that it is also our job to continue to create that confidence.” JPMorgan also believes that as this approach enjoys greater adoption across a range of businesses‚ consumer confidence should increase. Experts warn consumers about the dangers of biometrics However‚ some experts have warned that the technology is not quite as secure as it may sound. Although it is true that a person’s face or palm cannot go missing the way that a credit card might‚ artificial intelligence technology is growing increasingly sophisticated and can be used even by those without much technological knowledge to make fake versions of an individual’s handprint‚ face‚ or voice to trick these payment systems. There is also the possibility that the databases where people’s biometric data is being stored could be hacked. Once your biometric data has been stolen‚ you have very little recourse. While credit cards can be replaced‚ replacing your palm or face isn’t really an option. People’s biometric data is some of the most sensitive data that exists‚ and it is crucial to protect it at all costs. Although banks and stores have a lot to gain by convincing people to embrace this technology‚ consumers have everything to lose.

Biden admins signals passivity towards proposed ceasefire in Gaza The Biden administration signaled passivity‚ but not support towards a proposed ceasefire in Gaza during a vote on the matter at the United Nations on Monday. The move made headlines as the United States’ abstention marked a shift from the country’s previous three vetoes of similar Security Council resolutions. But analyst Mark Sleboda warns of reading too far into the incident‚ claiming the current rift in US-Israel relations is more of a matter of animosity between the countries’ leaders than a genuine change in their military relationship. “As to [Israeli President] Benjamin Netanyahu‚ Bibi and Biden‚ this is a broken bromance‚” said the researcher and international relations expert on Sputnik’s Political Misfits program on Monday. “I don’t know if it was ever a bromance‚ actually‚ between the two‚ but all the indications are that this is not indicative of some larger change in US foreign policy considering the influence of AIPAC in the US and the longstanding US security relationship with Israel. That would actually be very momentous if it was true.” “Everything we’ve heard in the Western press is that Biden personally has problems with Netanyahu‚” added Sleboda. “It seems [to be] not so much what he’s doing‚ but the way he’s going about it and his complete lack of political damage control which is making Joe Biden’s life and his reelection more difficult.”Survival Shield X-3 is BACK at the Infowars Store! Get 40% OFF on the next evolution in activated nascent iodine HERE The analyst said a halt in US lethal aid flowing to Israel would be evidence of a genuine shift in relations between the two longtime allies. The death toll in Gaza currently stands at over 32‚000‚ with the majority of casualties thought to be of Palestinian civilians. Israel has been engaged in an assault on the enclave since early October. Biden’s antipathy toward Netanyahu likely extends back to the administration of former US President Barack Obama‚ when Biden served as vice president. Netanyahu opposed Obama’s attempts to pursue diplomacy with Iran‚ preferring military confrontation with the country of 88 million. Netanyahu’s attempts to undermine Obama extended as far as giving a televised address to a session of the US Congress blasting the US president’s policy. Despite the open hostility‚ Obama still provided Netanyahu with Israel’s largest military aid package in history before leaving office. Whatever rift existed between the current US president and Netanyahu seemed to have briefly healed as a sobbing Biden embraced the Israeli Prime Minister in Tel Aviv in the aftermath of Hamas’ October 7 uprising. But Netanyahu has repeatedly embarrassed Biden in recent months with his blatant defiance of US calls for restraint. “We’ve already seen other potential Israeli politicians inside the unity government doing a tour of London and Washington‚” noted Sleboda‚ “positioning themselves‚ it seems to me‚ to be the next prime minister of Israel with the US’ support.” Observers have speculated Biden may prefer a more outwardly moderate figure like opposition leader Benny Gantz.Sleboda stated the primary concern for Biden currently is that Israel will undertake a violent incursion into Rafah‚ where over 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering. Besides generating public opposition‚ such a move would likely also damage the United States’ relationship with Egypt if Palestinians are forced to seek refuge in the Sinai Desert. Egypt has been one of the largest recipients of US foreign aid dating back to the late 1970s‚ when US President Jimmy Carry oversaw the signing of the Camp David Accords which guaranteed Egyptian backing of Israel. The United States has stifled Egyption democracy in the decades since‚ supporting a coup against elected President Mohamed Morsi to ensure a pro-Israel leader holds power in the country. US support for Israel has apparently done little to generate gratitude among average Israelis. A 2009 video filmed by journalist Max Blumenthal demonstrated widespread racist attitudes among the Israeli public‚ with Israelis calling then US President Obama the N-word among other racial slurs. My 2009 video‚ "Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem‚" has been banned by YouTube‚ Vimeo &; virtually every other platform.

$300 million allocated for Kiev in a stopgap US spending bill last week won’t go to new arms shipments‚ the outlet has said A $300 million spending package for Ukraine approved by the US Congress last week will not provide fresh aid for Kiev because the money was actually spent months ago‚ Politico reported on Tuesday. The allocation for Ukraine was part of a $1.2 trillion spending package signed by President Joe Biden on Saturday‚ which will ensure funding for the US government until October. The $300 million goes into the Pentagon’s Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI)‚ a mechanism used by Washington to funnel arms to Kiev‚ and which funds contracts for future arms and equipment deliveries. The money‚ however‚ “is not available for us to use now” due to how the initiative works‚ a US official told Politico on condition of anonymity. In reality‚ the $300 million for Kiev was obligated back in November‚ when the Pentagon announced a support package which it said exhausted the remaining USAI funds. The Department of Defense has since reported that an accounting trick allows it to produce another military assistance package worth $300 million under existing authority. It has reevaluated weapons drawn from its stockpile for Ukraine under a separate mechanism at net book value rather than replacement value‚ which tends to be higher. The approach‚ however‚ leaves a $10 billion hole in the Pentagon budget‚ since it doesn’t have enough funds to replenish its arsenal‚ officials admitted this month.Survival Shield X-3 is BACK at the Infowars Store! Get 40% OFF on the next evolution in activated nascent iodine HERE Continued American assistance to Kiev has been stifled by partisan divisions. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives is blocking over $60 billion in funding for Ukraine that the White House has been demanding for months. The additional funds in the stopgap bill were approved by lawmakers this week in a moment of bipartisanship‚ even if symbolic rather than practical‚ Politico said. Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated that a vote on further Ukraine aid may happen after the threat of a government shutdown in 2024 is alleviated. The chamber‚ however‚ is currently in recess‚ meaning any progress is unlikely before April. Moscow has accused the West of waging a proxy war against Russia‚ using Ukrainians as cannon fodder. No amount of Western aid will alter the outcome of the conflict‚ Russian officials have insisted‚ warning that arms deliveries also stand in the way of a reasonable peace deal.

'Black swans normally come out of the world of finance (not military).' General Michael Flynn went to social media Tuesday morning to warn the recent ship collision that collapsed the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore‚ Maryland‚ was a “Black Swan” event many people have been warning about for the past few months. “This is a BLACK SWAN event‚” Flynn said of the deadly bridge incident. “Black swans normally come out of the world of finance (not military). The standard operating procedures for all U.S. ports‚ harbors‚ and bays that transit commerce and military activities are supposed to maintain an incredible level of discipline‚ rigor and awareness for these very type events to not occur (ever!)‚ yet here we are.” He added‚ “There are harbor masters for every single one of these transit points in America that are in charge of assuring the safety of navigation…start there.” This is a BLACK SWAN event.

Crude markets are starting to pay attention as war risk premiums are being priced in A twin crisis is unfolding for the Biden administration as the US tax-payer-funded Ukrainian military bombs key crude refineries deep within Russian territory with suicide drones. The administration has pleaded with the Ukranians to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure as this will only contribute to tightening global supplies and push energy prices higher‚ as well as inflation in the US‚ hurting Biden’s re-election odds.  Now for the other crisis that’s unfolding in the Middle East: US Vice President Kamala Harris told ABC’s “This Week” that a major attack on the Gazan city of Rafah‚ where more than a million Palestinians have sought refuge‚ “would be a huge mistake.”  “We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake‚” Harris said. She added: “I have studied the maps – there’s nowhere for those folks to go. And we’re looking at about a million and a half people in Rafah who are there because they were told to go there.”Winter Sun Plus is NOW 25% off! Boost your natural defenses with this powerful vitamin D3 and K formula! Harris was asked whether there would be “consequences” from the US on an Israeli counteroffensive in Rafah. She responded‚ “I am ruling out nothing.” This comes as The Jerusalem Post said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials say an operation into the southern Gazan city is “imminent.”  Bloomberg quoted Israeli intelligence that estimate about 5‚000 to 8‚000 Hamas fighters are in Rafah.  As we’ve explained before‚ in the note titled “Terrified” Joe Biden Demands Ukraine Halt Strikes On Russian Refiners As It Is Sending Oil Prices Surging‚” Biden’s foreign policy has been and always been about crude markets.  So‚ of course‚ the administration would march the clueless VP onto ABC yesterday to give Irasel a public warning about the consequences of launching a counteroffensive against Hamas in Rafah‚ because it’s not entirely about the poor Palestinians‚ but the prospect of a much wider conflict that could send crude prices into parabolic trajectories‚ thus reigniting US inflation and continuing to weigh on re-election odds.  Rapidan Energy Group wrote in a recent note that the “Axis of Resistance” (Iranian proxies in Lebanon‚ Syria‚ Iraq‚ and Yemen) is “likely to intensify its attacks as Israel moves forward with the ground offensive in Rafah.”   “Israel would likely wait until the IDF consolidates control over Rafah and the Philadelphia corridor before risking a major confrontation with Hezbollah‚” Rapidan noted.  An invasion of Rafah could be the beginning of a series of dominoes that spark several powder kegs in the region that would put US troops at risk once again. Recall when three US Army troops were killed and more than 30 injured in a drone attack in Jordan earlier this year. A restart of these types of attacks is at high risk after Israel attacks Rafah.  Last month‚ Rapidan raised its odds of a major Israeli military offensive in Lebanon from 30% to 40%. However‚ they “expect overall Israel-Hezbollah tensions will remain contained and that a diplomatic agreement will avert a major conflict.”  Given these mounting uncertainties in the Middle East and Russia‚ it’s only a matter of time before traders focus their attention on the Saudi Aramco Abqaiq Plants (read: “The Weaponization Of Crude Could Trigger The Next Financial Shock”)‚ the largest crude stabilization plant in the world‚ as it could be in the crosshairs of Iran-backed Houthis.  Crude markets are starting to pay attention as war risk premiums are being priced in.  One of the most monstrous families on Earth is fading away.
