Yes, sorry, my mistake. I was thinking of Sinterklaas (the wife is Dutch).

Assume that this article identifies the chap that you were referring to:

Yeah, that's the fella. He may be related to the Claus/Klaas family, indeed there are rumours that he has signed a Satan Clause to bring about a New World Order that sees human beings living under a boot or two... but those rumours should be ignored because how can anyone state the following and be a bad guy

"As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being.".

US set to release 'difficult to explain' UFO evidence - ex-Trump intelligence chief

WTF is so classified about UFO's? Who saw it fit to keep this sort of information away from the general public and leave it in the realm of conspiracy?

Yes you are entitled to compensation, but you can only have it if you drop certain charges. And people wonder how and why these sorts of crimes continue.

Well, that depends on what your motivation is:

Justice or Money.

Don't know where else to put this so I'll park it here. The amount is amazing but it will be put to good use.

Q Anon has an explanation for why the Suez Canal is blocked.

https://www.newsweek.com/qanon-ship-...linton-1578428

What utter garbage, pure proof that Q is a controlled outfit designed to discredit conspiracy theories.
No respectable site is publishing that nonsense...

If it was a deliberate grounding (a ship that size should not do a handbrake skid style beaching under any circumstance absent major multiple simultaneous failures) the real motive is money through profiteering of rise in oil prices or economic sabotage against someone’s goods onboard.
No one is going to be cutting seals on customs bonded containers in between destinations.

The ships is fully loaded and sitting higher than it would empty afloat.
The hull is structurally compromised by the full weight being born by the bow and stern instead of the middle.
This is a mega disaster costing 400 million dollars a day for other delayed shipping.
The world is already backed up by covid drama, this will now make all related shipping takes four times longer due to Africa cape detours. Which means four times less capacity and rampant price gouging on shipping costs.
Nothing but some serious dredging will move that big girl.
Surprised no ones posted the New York Times story, ship drew a coco and balls on its GPS plot before entering canal ....
Was the elite reminding someone whose really in charge ???

I can recall that Evergreen Aviation was a CIA front company, famous for running drugs, guns and herbicides across south-east Asia and central America.

The ship Ever Given is operated by the Taiwanese firm Evergreen Marine (and owned by Shoei Kisen of Japan). And it is carrying cargo including toilet paper.

Perhaps this is the marine division of the CIA busy at work. Surreptitiously trying to block canals everywhere and cause widespread discomfort.

I wonder if the Evergreen truck blocking traffic in China is a real thing.

"Reserve Requirements
For many years, reserve requirements played a central role in the implementation of monetary policy by creating a stable demand for reserves. In January 2019, the FOMC announced its intention to implement monetary policy in an ample reserves regime. Reserve requirements do not play a significant role in this operating framework.

In light of the shift to an ample reserves regime, the Board has reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective on March 26, the beginning of the next reserve maintenance period. This action eliminates reserve requirements for thousands of depository institutions and will help to support lending to households and businesses."


Oh what a surprise, they've removed restrictions on the printing of money... like they were using those restrictions in the first place. Ya don't constantly print hundreds of billions/trillions without such being the case. It's isn't even subtle... unless you're so culturally indoctrinated that you've forgotten how to use your brain. So, this will be of interest (heh) to and understandable buy (heh heh) approximately 1 or 2 of you.

When there's less planet available for you to use as future assets, ya have no choice but to remove the gloves that you used to use to pull that promise out of your arse with.
