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.

New Epstein Docs Released! SEX TAPES of BILL CLINTON, PRINCE ANDREW & RICHARD BRANSON Which Clearly Identify Their Faces Alleged
A new tranche of Epstein documents have been released with an unnamed victim alleging sex tapes were filed of former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew the Duke of York, and billionaire Richard Branson.
The new round of court records released on Monday as part of a defamation lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre against Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell allege that sex tapes were filed of the three powerful figures which “clearly” show their faces.
“When my friend had sexual intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson, sex tapes were in fact filed on each separate occasion by Jeffrey,” claimed Maxwell victim Sarah Ransome in a deposition.
Richard Branson and Bill Clinton named in the latest Jeffrey Epstein documents –

Allegedly there are tapes. Allegedly.

“Thank God she managed to get a hold of some footage of the filmed sex tapes, which clearly identify the faces of Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Branson having sexual intercourse with her.”
“After two hours of trying to convince my friend to come forward with me, I eventually managed to persuade her to send me some of the video footage which she kept, implicating all three all men mentioned above,” she continued. “I personally can confirm that I have, with my own two eyes, seen the evidence of these sexual acts, which clearly identifies Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Richard Branson having sexual intercourse with my friend.”
Ransome also alleged she had “backed up footage” of the sex acts on USB sticks she had stored in various locations across Europe.

Additionally, Ransome claimed Hillary Clinton sent FBI agents to her friend to pay her off for her silence.
“She was then given a substantial payout, directly from the Clinton Foundation to keep her quiet,” she stated. “She is 1000% certain that the FBI did a cover up and she has the individual names of Hillary’s Special Agent Officers involved in intimidating her. She was then forced against her will to sign a legally binding agreement on Hillary’s behalf for her eternal silence. If she breaks this agreement, she is dead.”

Notably, Ransome also claimed her friend alleged former President Donald Trump and Google co-founder Sergey Brin had sex with her at Epstein’s New York apartment.
This comes after the first cache of Epstein documents were unsealed last week which included names of over 150 people and detailed Maxwell’s recruiting techniques, Clinton’s fondness for “young” girls, and Prince Andrew’s abuse of the trafficked victims.
A second round of court documents released Thursday detail allegations by “Jane Doe 3″ — who is believed to be Giuffre — that she was trafficked to “prominent American politicians” to “obtain potential blackmail information.”
Sex tapes that reveal the identities of the perpetrators would certainly qualify as blackmail material.
Notably, video tapes were found at Epstein’s Manhattan residence during an FBI raid in 2019 — but they were never submitted into evidence.
“In 2019, FBI agents testified during Maxwell’s trial that following a raid on Epstein’s townhouse in New York City, some evidence ‘went missing,’” Newsweek reported.
“FBI Special Agent Kelly Maguire testified in 2019 that during the raid of Epstein’s residence, FBI agents found a safe with CDs, computer hard drives, money, jewelry and passports. During her testimony, Maguire said that FBI agents did not have a valid warrant to remove the evidence, so instead, they photographed them.”
“A few days later, when they returned to obtain the evidence, it was gone,” the outlet added.
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.

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.
