A group of missionaries who were kidnapped and held captive in Haiti managed to escape despite having no help from the White House.

A Haitian gang took the Christians hostage in the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince.

The 17 missionaries were with an Ohio-based agency

The abduction occurred when they finished visiting an orphanage.

The gang swooped in and said they wanted millions of dollars in exchange for the missionaries’ release.
The horrendous act was committed by the 400 Mawoza gang.

Surprisingly the gang gave their hostages things like toothbrushes, toilet paper and baby food.

In November, five of the missionaries were released while the other 12 adults and five children still remained in captivity.

The missionaries were held in a small area and were eventually allowed outside at some point but still in a captive environment.

They saw an opportunity to escape and were able to make their way out of a closed-door that was blocked off.
When they sensed the timing was right, they found a way to open the door that was closed and blocked, filed silently to the path that they had chosen to follow, and quickly left the place that they were held — despite the fact that numerous guards were nearby.

This group of 17 individuals were able to escape by using the moon and starlight to guide their path, and walked many miles in desolate terrain in order to secure freedom.

They had children and infants with them on their journey. The group consisted of 12 adults and five children.

The group walked with small children and an infant for hours on rugged ground.

They eventually came across someone and were able to call for help.

Weston Showalter, a spokesman for the Christian Aid Ministries said:

"The missionaries’ freedom came with no help from the White House.
The current Biden administration has made it obvious in several instances that Christians are a hindrance to their agenda."

"Throughout the two-year lockdown/mask/mandate regime, we barely heard a peep out of the national Libertarian Party.

Some good work was done at the state and local level, and my friend Angela McArdle, of the Los Angeles County LP, did heroic work in Los Angeles against the absurd mandates there.

But the national party was a disgrace, as usual.

You can always count on the national party, and its feckless, constantly ratioed Twitter account, to jump on whatever the latest leftist bandwagon is, to adopt the regime's line on controversial issues (Tucker Carlson and January 6 are existential threats to America, of course), and to try to appear "respectable" as if that will make the regime like them.

These are the kinds of people who would die a thousand deaths before publicly challenging an Anthony Fauci, since don't you know he's the expert?

We dissidents are just such an embarrassment to them.

Not to mention, portions of the national leadership have been known to attack our most popular and productive voices, including even Ron Paul himself.

So in 2017, Michael Heise decided: no more.

If there's going to be a party with "libertarian" in its name, it's not going to be a pathetic embarrassment. It's going to be bold. It's going to say things nobody else will say. It's going to focus on the empire (and not shrink from using the word "empire" just because it will make Henry Kissinger unhappy), central banking, and the other issues that animated the Ron Paul Revolution.

So he created the Mises Caucus of the Libertarian Party, which Ron Paul himself has called "the libertarian wing of the Libertarian Party."

The entire slate of candidates endorsed by the Mises Caucus for the Libertarian National Committee was elected. Same for the party's Judicial Committee: every single candidate the caucus endorsed went on to win.

And Angela McArdle herself is now the chair."

Off-duty US Customs and Border Protection agent Jacob Albarado had only just sat down for a haircut when his wife Trisha, who is a fourth-grade teacher at Robb Elementary School texted him:
“There’s an active shooter,” she wrote. “Help,” she sent before sending a chilling: “I love you.”
His daughter, a second-grader, was also in the building, locked inside a bathroom.
Jacob turned around and asked his barber to borrow a shotgun, and fearlessly rushed into Robb Elementary School with his barber’s shotgun and rescued dozens of children and his daughter.

America does not need more gun control.
America needs a system that acts on obvious red flags.
Killers are mentally unstable. Politicians should stop focusing on the guns and focus on the crazies whose fingers pull the triggers.

Seas are wild and white with foam racing Northward. Sun is shining.

So grateful to be behind glass in the warmth and safe from the seas.. unless of course there is a tsunami, which hopefully there will never be.

That reads like a a bad move script to me.

In fact ALL of it, every single part of the official and unofficial story reads like a bad movie script to me.

What I see here is a series of narratives laid out for us temptingly like a "eat as much as you can" deal.

I see a narrative for the Normies and another narrative for the gun lobby, etc etc...we're supposed to consume the one that conforms to our own belief system, take a side and start arguing with each other.

But is there any reason to believe any of them are true?

I don't see reality as being too important to the PTB any more. Look at COVID. When the facts don't fit they just make up some crap.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has endorsed Adam Laxalt in the race to face incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto.

“I served in the Navy with Adam,” DeSantis said, “and I can tell you that he won’t back down when it comes to standing for liberty and for what’s right by our great nation. He proved it as Nevada’s attorney general, and he’ll prove it again as your next senator.
As Nevada’s Attorney General, Laxalt led on the most important issues facing his state and our country: the right to life, energy and environmental extremism, election integrity, and free speech."

"Radio Free Asia has reported that the California church shooter who targeted Taiwanese congregants has been discovered to have associations with a group connected to the Chinese Communist Party which actively calls for China to takeover Taiwan.

The 68-year-old Chinese immigrant, David Chou, who had killed one individual and injured five others at the Geneva Presbyterian Church was in attendance at a 2019 event hosted by the Las Vegas Association for China’s Peaceful Unification. This particular group is actually controlled by the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department, and they claim that “peaceful unification” between China and Taiwan “is the only way to avoid war.”

During this event, Chou could be seen holding up a banner that stated “eradication of pro-independence demons” which is concerning to say the least and certainly solidifies his ties.

The Las Vegas Association for China’s Peaceful Unification is only a small portion of the full National Association for China’s Peaceful Unification group. In fact, during 2020, the U.S. labelled this group as a foreign mission of the Chinese regime.

It has been revealed by the Orange County sheriff’s office that David Chou’s attack against the church and its congregants was motivated by his hatred for Taiwanese individuals.”

"My promise to you is this: as long as I am Governor, we will never let the state of Florida descend into a Faucian dystopia in which our freedoms are curtailed. We will lead so that others may follow." ... still standing strong against vaccine passports, sanctuary cities, and “catch and release” policies for illegal aliens...

In my next term, I will continue to stand strong against wokeness (aka cultural Marxism)."

"Bill Gates appears to be behind the push to stop breastfeeding and encourage uptake of BIOMILQ, a cell-cultured “human milk” made in a lab, along with other varieties of fake food
Nearly every large meat and dairy processor/manufacturer has also acquired or developed plant-based meat and dairy substitutes
This “protein” industry convergence is jeopardizing the resilience of the food system and reducing genetic diversity of livestock and crops
When you factor in soy production as well as the use of conventional energy sources, lab-grown meat may be worse for the environment than conventionally produced chicken and pork
There are signs that the fake meat industry may be failing before it ever gets off the ground; shares of Beyond Meat lost $6 billion since March 2020 due to weak sales growth
To save the planet and support your health, skip all the fake meat alternatives and opt for real food that’s being raised using regenerative, grass fed methods." Mercola.com

Amber Heard is a serial liar and manipulator.

- Her own witnesses contradicted her stories.
- Voice recordings show she physically attacked Depp.
- Her accusations - such as Depp pushing Kate Moss down the Stairs in the 1990s - were refuted (in that instance by Moss herself on video call).
- Female psychologists testified that Amber Heard has various psychological issues that contextualise her prolific lying and may explain it.
- She was shown to have doctored photos of the alleged 'abuse'.
- The photos she did provide which were not doctored were shown to be very inconsistent with the abuse she alleged.

"From tax hikes to drastic increases in the minimum wage, there are many "changes" Joe Biden hopes to impose in his Presidency.

But at the very top of his list are measures to vastly increase the money and forced-dues power of the Big Labor Bosses.

Why? Because Biden knows that pushing his radical agenda will be far easier with the money and manpower of Big Labor on his side.

That's why candidate Biden promised to grant Big Labor literally EVERYTHING it has ever wished for...

... more forced union dues...

... more power over the lives of American workers...

... more control over our economy...

... and higher taxes from you and me to pay the tab.

To make matters even worse, Big Labor radicals Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer now control Congress.

And they're eager to deliver the Union Bosses' wish list to President Biden for him to sign into law. “

"When Jane Fonda said Covid was "God's gift to the Left," she gave everything away.

In case you doubted it before, doubt no longer. There are people who will exploit, or indeed in some cases even create, crises they can take advantage of to bring about the kind of radical social changes they favor.

If you read, for instance, what so many left-wing intellectuals in the United States were saying about the urgency of entering World War I, much of it had to do with the opportunity it would provide to create precedents involving the domestic use of political power, so as to acclimate Americans to a more vigorous and interventionist government at home.

It's all right there in the New Republic magazine from those years. "Why should not the war serve as a pretext to be used to foist innovations upon the country?" the magazine demanded to know.

Then, too, there are people who want artificially high gas prices, because they think those high prices can pave the way for their so-called green future.

It is time to consider the possibility that the people in charge aren't fools who don't know what they're doing, and are causing suffering by accident. They know very well what they are doing.

Woods, you say, that's too cynical.

But if it were just stupidity, wouldn't they occasionally, if even just by accident, do something sensible that doesn't hurt the average person?

Mere stupidity isn't this consistent.

Now we get this from the New York Times, just yesterday, letting us know that in fact price inflation can have a beneficial effect because it will lead us to the kind of society they want:

"Inflation has the potential to drive welcome change for the planet if Americans think differently about the way they eat. Climate change has motivated some to eat less resource-intensive meat and more vegetables, grains and legumes, but this movement has not reached the scale necessary to bring needed change—yet."

Who thinks like that?

"Inflation has the potential to drive welcome change"? Get bent.

One of the worst parts about price inflation, though, is that most Americans have no idea what causes it. Some think it's because of greedy corporations (which doesn't explain why the price inflation didn't start three years ago -- were those corporations less "greedy" then?). Or they've bought into the nonsense that it's a sign of a strong economy. Or some people just have an inchoate sense that it's natural for things to get gradually more expensive over time, as if this is some law of the universe.

To the contrary, before the Federal Reserve took over, the general trend was for things to get less expensive over time.

The more we can shine a light on the Fed, the better. It thrives in darkness.

So remember, coming up very soon is the world premiere of the Money 2022 docuseries --

You can watch the whole series for free if you register in advance. After that, they start charging for it.

What we are supposed to do in the current circumstances is a darn good question, and this series seeks to answer it.

The company making it is full of friends of mine, and has featured me in their documentaries as well. They have to deal with Big Tech censorship, so they rely on friends like me to spread the word about their important work."

"A Chinese fighter jet intercepted an Australian surveillance aircraft last month, performing a "dangerous manoeuvre" in a dramatic mid-air incident, the Department of Defence has revealed.

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) P-8A Poseidon was conducting routine surveillance in international airspace above the South China Sea on May 26 when the J-16 jet flew "very close", set off flares and dropped chaff in its path.
Defence Minister Richard Marles said the federal government had raised its concerns over the "very dangerous" intercept with the Chinese government.

"Defence has for decades undertaken maritime surveillance activities in the region and does so in accordance with international law, exercising the right to freedom of navigation and overflight in international waters and airspace."
The Australian aircraft returned to base and its crew was unharmed.”
