There are many cultural and political differences between the United States and China. Both consider the other to be both enemy and partner; the U.S. and China want the other to fail even as they work together in massive trade relationships. But there’s a huge difference in how far they’re willing to go to accomplish their goals. The Chinese Communist Party is willing to harm its own people as long as they can achieve their goal of world domination.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan came on The JD Rucker Show today to discuss how China is going after the United States and other nations by continuing to manufacture bioweapons. Will the next one be a hemorrhagic fever? Another coronavirus? Something much worse?

According to Dr. Yan, “We know that unrestricted bioweapons is just one of the strategies … to change the dominance in the world.”

Those who have followed my show on Rumble or Apple Podcasts know I am a firm believer that Pandemic Panic Theater was manufactured to push various agendas. My belief is based on a good amount of research, but my hours put into it pale in comparison to what true-crime author John Leake and Dr. Peter McCullough have researched over the last year. In their new book, The Courage to Face Covid-19, they combine their skillsets to create compelling arguments about what has been done with Covid-19 thus far as well as ways people can improve their reactions to the disease.

The Pentagon is still working hard to counter the Russian narrative that U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine are there for peaceful purposes only. This is actually the second change to their original narrative that there were no U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine. But in their efforts to cover-up and debunk claims by Russia, they're talking out of both sides of their mouth.

A press release from the Pentagon even invoked "WMD removal" as a predicate for their ongoing efforts. However, they do not address the fact that they've been working on these projects for three decades, nor do they satisfactorily address why they have 46 of them.

According to the release [emphasis added]:

Ukraine has no nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons programs. On March 11 and 18, 2022, United Nations (UN) High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu similarly stated that the UN is not aware of any biological weapons programs in Ukraine. Those comments were reiterated on May 13, 2022, by the UN Deputy High Representative for Disarmament Affairs.

Today, the collaborations in Ukraine remain peaceful efforts to improve nuclear and radiological safety and security, disease surveillance, chemical safety and security, and readiness to respond to epidemics and pandemics such as COVID-19.

Ukraine has become a leader in transparency and in promoting nonproliferation and global health security norms. For example, in December 2021, Ukraine completed a voluntary, external, WHO-led evaluation of its capacity to prevent, detect, and rapidly respond to public health emergencies.

There are several problems with the Pentagon's claims. On one hand, they say Ukraine has no nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons programs, backing this claim by saying the U.N. is not aware of any. That's not reassuring when both the Pentagon and U.N. claimed just a few months ago that there were no U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine at all.

Even more concerning is that they claim the labs they're operating in Ukraine have as one of their purposes to improve "readiness to respond to epidemics and pandemics such as COVID-19." This is problematic because whenever any labs, whether state-funded or private, are engaged in biological weapons research, they always claim the presence of pathogens in their labs is for defensive purposes only. China does it. Russia does it. Apparently, the U.S. is doing it as well.

The fact that they claim Ukraine has become a leader in transparency is a direct insult to our intelligence. Ukraine remains one of the most corrupt and least transparent nations in the world. This is why Joe Biden shuffled his son there to work for Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. What happens in Ukraine, stays in Ukraine.

It would be possible to claim there were a few one-off labs that remained since the fall of the Soviet Union over thirty years ago. Keeping a remnant intact is justifiable for WMD "stragglers." But buried in the Pentagon's release was a bombshell that they've been hiding for months. They have 46 "peaceful" Ukrainian labs in operation. From one side of their mouth they say Ukraine has no weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear arms or biological agents, and they claim this is due to their efforts disposing them all over the past three decades. Then, out of the other side of their mouth they acknowledge there are 46 U.S.-funded labs in a nation that borders Russia.

The United States has also worked collaboratively to improve Ukraine’s biological safety, security, and disease surveillance for both human and animal health, providing support to 46 peaceful Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and disease diagnostic sites over the last two decades. The collaborative programs have focused on improving public health and agricultural safety measures at the nexus of nonproliferation.

I've avoided this topic for the past few months because there simply wasn't enough information to know who was lying more. That's the problem when dealing with an argument between the Pentagon and Russia. Both are known to lie regularly. There's a fine line between spreading the truth and unwittingly aiding either side of the Russia-Pentagon propaganda war. But this admission by the Pentagon lends to the notion that they're lying more about the biolabs. That's not to say Russia isn't lying about them as well. Lies in this case are not mutually exclusive.

Editor's Commentary: When I sold my shares and left the corporate world five years ago to enter politics, I did so knowing I would take a major financial hit. But I was anticipating things were going to get bad and I couldn't sit back and be a great capitalist knowing that I should be really fighting the good fight. Call it fatherly instinct; I sold my half of a thriving company to my partner for pennies on the dollar because my fourth child was about to be born. I wanted to fight to make sure the world he grew up in wasn't going to be awful.

Since then, I've been approached by over two dozen precious metals companies. With nearly every major conservative TV show, news outlet, podcast, and radio show having a precious metal sponsor, it seemed logical that I would as well. But I believe in having sponsors that are essential and until the last year or so I just didn't see precious metals as qualifying.

Today, I absolutely do, which is why I'm sharing the article below from Michael Snyder's blog. It highlights the very reasons I decided to seek a precious metals sponsor in recent months. After passing on those that I vetted and found to be wanting, I finally found two America First companies I could truly recommend. Our Gold Guy sells physical precious metals only, and there's nothing wrong with that. JD GoldCo sells a wide array of products. I trust both companies and, depending on your current financial situation, I recommend contacting one or both.

With a recession on the way, it behooves those with investments or wealth to protect to strongly consider precious metals. With that said, here's Michael...

Have you ever heard of a survey where 100 percent of the respondents agree?  I can’t ever recall seeing one like that, but as you will see below, 100 percent of the corporate CFOs that were just surveyed by CNBC believe that a recession is coming by the end of next year.  At this point, our economic troubles are growing so rapidly that you would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see what is happening.  A meltdown of historic proportions has already begun, and there is economic gloom just about everywhere that you look.

But even though the U.S. economy is clearly moving in one direction, I still didn’t expect to see this sort of a consensus among corporate financial executives…

According to the majority (68%) of CFOs responding to the survey, a recession will occur during the first half of 2023. No CFO forecast a recession any later than the second half of next year, and no CFO thinks the economy will avoid a recession.

The CNBC CFO Council Q2 survey is a sample of the current outlook among top financial officers. It was conducted among 22 chief financial officers at major organizations between May 12-June 6.

Of course they are right on target.

The months ahead are going to be very difficult.

And with each passing day we continue to get more evidence that the economic slowdown is accelerating.  For example, it appears that a “transportation recession” has already begun…

A downturn, if not a full-on recession, is clear in the transportation world. While the rest of the economy debates whether things are that bad, it’s been clear for months to logistics providers that the situation has worsened — and the velocity of that change is still stunning.

The cost to move a container from Asia to a major port in North America or Europe has sunk by 23% since the beginning of this year, according to maritime research firm Drewry. Spot rates have plummeted even faster; marketplace Freightos said rates from China to the West Coast are down 38% month-over-month. FreightWaves forecast this week that ocean shipping volumes will “drop off a cliff” by this summer, based on slumping bookings out of China.

Meanwhile, the most absurd housing bubble in the history of our country is clearly starting to burst.  Compared to a year ago, mortgage applications were down a whopping 21 percent last week…

This just keeps getting worse: Applications for mortgages to purchase a home dropped 7% for the week, and were down 21% from a year ago, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported today. An indicator of future home sales: Potential homebuyers try to get pre-approved for a mortgage, lock in a mortgage rate, and then start house-hunting.

Mortgage rates have soared this year, and home prices have soared for years to ridiculous levels, causing layers and layers of potential buyers to abandon the market, amid “worsening affordability challenges,” as the MBA called it.

On top of everything else, jobless claims just shot up to their highest level in almost six months…

The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits unexpectedly jumped last week, spiking to the highest level since mid-January in a sign the hot labor market could be starting to cool.

Figures released Thursday by the Labor Department show that applications for the week ended June 4 rose to 229,000 from an upwardly revised 202,000 a week earlier, missing the 210,000 forecast by Refinitiv analysts. It marked the biggest one-week increase since last July. The four-week average of new claims, which smooths volatility in the weekly figures, also increased slightly to 215,000 last week.

But even though all of these numbers clearly indicate that a “recession” is coming, a potential “recession” is not the number one economic concern for most Americans.

That is because the worst inflation crisis in modern American history is hitting all of us extremely hard.

According to a FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos poll that was just released, 52 percent of Americans believe that inflation is “the most important issue facing the country” right now…

At this point, the answer to what Americans are most worried about is pretty straightforward: inflation. In the first FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos poll, 52 percent of Americans said the most important issue facing the country was inflation. We asked Americans this question in a variety of ways, but regardless of how we asked it, the top answer was always the same: inflation.

Other surveys have come up with similar results.  For example, just check out these numbers from the Pew Research Center…

Seven-in-ten Americans view inflation as a very big problem for the country, followed by the affordability of health care (55%) and violent crime (54%).

About half say gun violence and the federal budget deficit are very big problems (51% each), according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted April 25-May 1 among 5,074 U.S. adults.

Inflation is something that the American people can see on a daily basis.

On Thursday, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States hit five dollars a gallon for the first time ever.

And as I pointed out the other day, experts are warning that it will soon cross the six dollar threshold.

The grocery store is another place where all of us can clearly see the rampant inflation that is happening.  A single shopping cart of food can easily cost $300 these days, and that is absolutely insane.

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning, and most Americans realize this.  In fact, one survey just discovered that approximately two-thirds of us expect inflation to get even worse over the next year…

The Federal Reserve, the Biden administration, and Wall Street’s economists are confident that inflation will be brought down over the coming year. The American public disagrees.

Two-thirds of Americans say they expect inflation to get worse over the next year, according to a poll conducted by The Washington Post and George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government.

Some of us have been warning for years that the decisions that our leaders were making would destroy the stability of our currency.

Now nightmarish inflation is officially here.

And some of us have been warning for years that our rapidly growing long-term economic problems would eventually result in a meltdown of epic proportions.

Now that meltdown has begun.

Our fate could have been very different if we would have chosen a much different path while we still had the chance.

But now it is too late, and the pain that is ahead is going to be greater than many Americans will be able to handle.

Either the Democrat/Deep State/Media cabal thinks we're stupid, or many of us really are. Or both. It's probably both.

On the day the January 6 Unselect Committee is poised to have their prime time televised gaslighting hearing, the FBI engaged in a promotional marketing piece by arresting Republican gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelly.

According to Axios:

The FBI arrested Ryan Kelley, a Republican candidate for Michigan governor, on Thursday after serving out a search warrant on his home in Allendale, an FBI spokesperson confirmed to Axios.

Kelley was arrested on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Bill Miller, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, said in a statement Thursday. He is one of five candidates who qualified for the Republican primary to be held in August.

"Ryan Kelley, 40, of Allendale, Michigan, was arrested this morning on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol breach," Miller said. "He was arrested in Allendale. Mr. Kelley is to make his initial appearance this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan."

"A complaint is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law," Miller added.

Kelley was charged on Thursday with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority during the riot, as well as disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.

It has been 519 days since January 6, 2021. For the FBI to pick TODAY, the day the prime time gaslighting special is happening, to arrest a Republican candidate over J6 charges tells us their job is to do marketing for Democrats.
