Terrifying Infographic Shows Reach Of Russia’s New Hypersonic Missile: ‘London In 20 Minutes’

Update(1830ET): Soon after warning that Russia’s newly deployed ‘Oreshnik’ nuclear capable hypersonic missile is able to reach any European capital, at a top speed of Mach 10+ —which is significantly faster than a bullet—Russian state media issued the below ominous infographic.

It touts that Eastern European capitals could be hit in a matter of a few minutes, and that Berlin is reachable in only 15. It lists capitals as far away from the Kapustin Yar rocket launch complex like London and Paris as reachable by the Oreshnik in just 20 minutes. This means if proverbial all hell broke loose and WW3 came to Europe, these populations would have very little time to reach shelter.

Pope says Vatican’s pension fund faces ‘serious imbalance’

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis said on Thursday the Vatican’s pension fund is facing a “serious imbalance” that may require changes to its operating structure, and appointed a senior cardinal to take over the fund’s administration.

In an unusual letter sent to all the world’s cardinals and to the leaders of the Vatican’s various offices, the pope did not quantify the scope of the issue.

He said the changes would include “making difficult decisions that will require particular sensitivity, generosity, and willingness to sacrifice on the part of everyone”.

Flatulence tax: Denmark agrees deal for livestock emissions levy

Denmark has agreed on how to implement the world’s first tax on agricultural emissions, including flatulence by livestock.

This comes after months of negotiations between the country’s major parties, farmers, the industry, trade unions and environmental groups. The Green Tripartite agreement was first announced in June.

From 2030, farmers will have to pay a levy of 300 kroner ($43; £34) per tonne of methane (as per carbon dioxide equivalent) on emissions from livestock including cows and pigs, which will rise to 750 kroner in 2035.

Ellen DeGeneres Has Moved to Great Britain, Lists Montecito Estate: ‘Never Coming Back’ to the United States | Exclusive

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have moved to rural England, put their Montecito estate on the market and plan to never return to the United States, telling friends the election of Donald Trump was their primary motivation, a person close to the former TV host told TheWrap.

Though the incoming Republican administration was the cited catalyst, a fresh start couldn’t hurt: DeGeneres has been open about being “kicked out of show business” after reports of toxic workplace behavior at the syndicated “Ellen” show in 2022.

Minnesota Election Judge Faces Felony Charges for Allowing Unregistered People to Vote

An election judge in Minnesota is now facing serious criminal charges after he allowed multiple unregistered residents to cast votes anyway in the recent election.

As reported by Breitbart, Judge Timothy Michael Scouton was responsible for overseeing the election process in Badoura Township, a small town with a population of roughly 100 people. Hubbard County Auditor Kay Rave filed a complaint after she determined that she could not find completed registration forms among the ballots she received from Scouton’s jurisdiction.

This complaint led to an investigation by the Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office. Eventually, another judge who worked with Scouton on election night came forward and told police that Scouton explicitly ordered voters to not fill out the Minnesota Voter Registration Application. A third judge said that Scouton simply told new voters to sign the back of a book rather than fill out any official forms.

“Let me make this easy for you. If you lie about inflation, that adjusts the GDP deflator lower which will show an increase in real GDP, very simple! Now as an aside. If you want the lower CPI numbers to be believed, just knock the shit out of gold and silver with paper contracts to ultimately suppress the price. And, if you want to suppress gold prices, silver MUST be kept in the box because it will act as a fuse for gold blowing sky high and exposing the CPI fraud. This is all so easy… get it now?”

The United States has been in a recession for years.

Many commentators cannot understand why Trump won the elections despite a robust economy. The reality is far more complex. I have repeatedly stated in my articles and TV appearances on Making Money (Fox News) and CNBC’s Squawkbox Europe that the U.S. economy was significantly weaker than the official headlines suggested. I called it a “private sector recession”.

Anyone who has delved into the supposedly solid headline figures can clearly see the real weakness of the U.S. economy. An unsustainable increase in government spending and federal debt bloated the official GDP, making gross domestic income significantly weaker than headline GDP. Additionally, the Conference Board and University of Michigan consumer confidence readings, well below 2019 and 2021 levels, indicated a stagnant economy. Significant negative revisions and concerning elements were evident in the job reports.

Trump Team Weighs Courts-Martial For Officers Who Oversaw Afghanistan Withdrawal

Donald Trump’s transition team is making a list of senior military officers who oversaw the disastrous 2021 withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, and considering the possibility of court-martialing them for their failings, according to two sources cited by NBC News.  

“They’re taking it very seriously,” said a source who claims to have knowledge of the initiative. The most notorious incident of the chaotic withdrawal was the Aug. 26, 2021 suicide bombing at Abbey Gate, just outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in the Afghan capital, Kabul. Thirteen US service members and more than 170 Afghan civilians were killed. In the following days, a US airstrike intended to kill the leader of the Islamic State instead killed 10 innocents. The rapid collapse of the US-sponsored Afghanistan government allowed enormous quantities of US weapons to fall into the hands of the Taliban.

China Will Pay Above Spot and is Buying Silver Concentrate Directly from Mexico, Peru and Bolivia.

By paying the above spot for Silver concentrate from Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia, they are also achieving another significant objective: US weapons and aerospace manufacturers now have to stand in line.

Reports emerging from China indicate that the country is importing silver concentrate directly from major producing nations like Peru, Bolivia, and Mexico.

This development has significant implications for the silver market, particularly as it suggests a shift away from traditional trading platforms such as COMEX.
