Watch: Farmers, Truckers Block Dozens of Highways in Germany Protesting Fuel Tax Increases
Farmers in Germany upset over the federal government’s plan to cut agricultural subsidies have mobilized giant protests in Berlin and elsewhere, using farm tractors to disrupt traffic on dozens of major highways throughout the country.
Footage shows a massive convoy of farmers and truckers occupying the streets of several German towns in a week-long effort to express their discontent with new taxes and regulations aligning with the United Nations’ Agenda 2030.
Something historic is happening.

One motorist caught in the traffic jam caused by the farmers said he understood their plight and identified with their discontent toward the federal government, saying, “With the current government, Germany has been going down the drain… The incompetence of these politicians just drives you nuts.”
?? We asked citizens who got stuck in traffic due to the German farmers’ protests what they thought about it.

They fully supported the farmers:
“With the current government, Germany has been going down the drain… The incompetence of these politicians just drives you nuts.” https://t.co/Jjvf6GYB1a
The farmers are protesting the abolition of a car tax exemption for farming vehicles, as well as diesel tax breaks.
The protests, supported by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Free Voters right-wing political parties, are set to last several days, with the German government expressing fears the demonstrations could be “co-opted” by “right-wing extremists.”
As predicted, here’s how the MSM is covering the farmers’ protest in Germany. pic.twitter.com/TBFyUWQAgf

The protests come despite the German government making concessions last week to keep the vehicle tax exemption and agreeing to stagger diesel tax breaks cuts over a three-year period.

Peter Schiff: The Fed Will Bank on Biden in 2024
The Federal Reserve will play a pivotal role in the upcoming election and aim to boost President Biden or another Democratic candidate.
“I think that the Fed is going to be doing everything it can to try to reelect Biden, or whoever may run if Biden does not. I think it’s clear that that’s what’s going to happen.”
The President has the power to nominate the Federal Reserve chair, making this authority a crucial factor in shaping the Fed’s decisions. As a result, the Fed chairman, in this case, Powell, is incentivized to align with the President.
This isn’t necessarily a left-wing bias (although, Powell and the left-wing establishment enjoy a cozy relationship). The Fed chairman’s alignment with the President transcends party lines:
It really doesn’t matter the party affiliation of the Fed chairman… What matters is who is in the White House at the time. Because the Fed chairman always wants to play ball with whichever administration is in power.”
That’s just how the game works.
Outside administrations are okay with this, because the quid pro quo relationship benefits the new administrations as well.
Peter calls this the unwritten rule:
And I don’t think outside administrations hold a grudge, because basically what happens is the Fed is going to try to help reelect whoever is in office. And so, if the opposing party wins, now the Fed is on their side. They’re not really going to call them out or get mad at them for helping the past president when now they’re the president and now the Fed has got their back. That’s kind of the unwritten rule. The Fed always favors the incumbent. Now why? It’s the incumbent that can renominate them.”
But this time, Powell is even more likely to support Biden, because there is bad blood between Powell and Trump:
Because even though Trump appointed Powell initially, he criticized Powell repeatedly when he was president…Powell pretty much knows that his job ends with a Trump presidency. Trump is not going to renominate Powell. I think there’s a lot of bad blood there between Powell and Trump. He knows his job is on the line, too, so that’s another reason to really try to help Biden get elected.”
Plus, with the tight race and weak economic conditions, Biden’s success heavily relies on Powell’s support.
I expect the Fed to act in an election year where the basic economy is very weak. And everybody is trying to pretend that it’s great and trying to convince the public that the economy is booming. The Fed is going to be a big part of that deception. The only hope Biden has of pulling this off is with the cooperation of the Fed. If he doesn’t get that cooperation there’s no chance.”
Fed intervention to support a Biden reelection is just one of several other reasons why Peter thinks 2024 could be a horrible year for the dollar.

The Tide Is Turning On National Entrapment Day
Three years later, and the tide of tyranny is turning.
January 6th defendants like Jake Lang have taken their case to the Supreme Court where tyranny no longer has a foothold.
And in the case of Jeremy Brown, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces master sergeant. The impulsive setup of our nation’s defenders in the name of tyranny is finally seeing the light of day.
Joe Biden and his handlers have demonstrated without a shadow of a doubt that they are the very antithesis of the American Republic. 2024 is the year when their feet are held to the fire of truth and justice. And the J6 Political Prisoners are freed.

Ron Paul: Soft Landing or Hard Crash?
A clip from the 1990 movie Home Alone where the lead character purchases groceries, household goods, and toys recently went viral because he paid a total of $19.83 whereas today the same purchase would cost over three times as much. Ironically, while this evidence of the Federal Reserve’s failure to maintain the dollar’s value was going viral, stocks rose because investors believed the Fed had successfully engineered a “soft landing” by bringing down price inflation without causing a recession and would soon begin reducing interest rates.
Then, stocks fell at the beginning of the year when the release of the notes of the Federal Reserve Board’s last meeting suggested the Fed would not hurry rate cuts. The likelihood of a delay in cutting rates was further increased by a “positive” December Jobs report.
The jobs report did show unemployment remaining low and wages slightly increasing, but the news was not all positive. One of the report’s most troubling items is that a top source of increased wages is government. An increase in the salaries of government employees also increases government debt, which will have to be paid for by taxes. Since tax increases are unpopular, the government relies on the Federal Reserve to do the dirty work by purchasing federal debt instruments and thus creating more inflation. This inflation tax is the worst of all taxes because it is regressive and hidden.
If the Fed allowed interest rates to increase to anywhere near what they would likely be in a free market, interest rate payments on the federal debt would rise to a level causing a financial crisis. Even though the federal government will soon spend more on interest on the federal debt than on the Pentagon and the military-industrial complex, few in DC are serious about cutting spending. Federal debt increased by one trillion dollars from mid-September to the beginning of the new year. It is expected to increase by around another trillion dollars by the end of March! To put this in perspective, consider that the federal debt did not reach a trillion dollars until 1981 — almost two hundred years after the Constitution was ratified.
Continuing increases in federal debt and Federal Reserve created inflation will lead to economic crisis caused by a rejection of the dollar’s world reserve currency status. There is already resentment over the US government’s use of the dollar’s reserve status to support US sanctions. This is why Russia and Iran recently signed a deal to trade in their own currencies rather than in dollars and Russia is no longer accepting dollars for its oil.
President Biden has kept his promise to refrain from criticizing the Fed’s conduct of monetary policy. In contrast, his predecessor regularly took to Twitter to lambaste the central bank. This means the Fed will likely try to help President Biden by trying to keep interest rates low enough to not increase unemployment yet high enough to not increase price inflation.
While Donald Trump is more likely than Joe Biden to challenge the deep state and neoconservative foreign policy, the truth is neither Biden nor Trump will seek to reduce spending. Unless a critical mass of Americans demand an end to the welfare-warfare state and the fiat money system, the soft landing sought by the Fed and the politicians will turn into a hard crash.
