The Berlin Crisis of 1961: Why The USSR Built the Wall

  After World War II, the defeat of Nazi Germany resulted in the nation of Germany being divided in two. The British, French, and Americans claimed what soon became independent West Germany, and the Soviets claimed East Germany. Deep inside East Germany, the former German capital city of Berlin was also divided between West and East. West Berlin became an island of Western democracy within the Soviet sphere. In 1961, following the swift re-emergence of Cold War tensions following the U-2 Spy Plane Incident and the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, the Soviets retaliated against perceived American aggression by building the Berlin Wall. West Berlin and East Berlin were now separated by a menacing, heavily guarded wall.   Setting the Stage: Division of Germany in 1945 A map showing the division of Germany into occupied zones after World War II. Source: Anne Frank House, Amsterdam   Unlike World War I, where Germany asked for an armistice before its borders were breached by any foreign power, World War II forced the Allied Powers to fight all the way to Berlin. On May 2, 1945, the Soviet Red Army captured Berlin, Germany’s capital. Six days later, World War II in Europe was finally over. After the Potsdam Conference in July, the defeated and occupied Germany was formally divided into occupation zones, as was Austria. Although Berlin was deep in the Soviet sector, it would also be divided between the USSR and the three Western Allies in Europe: Britain, France, and the United States.   The Cold War began shortly afterward when the Soviet Union reneged on agreements made at the earlier Yalta Conference, which had been held in February 1945. While Germany’s occupation had been accepted, the Western Allies wanted the formerly independent states in Eastern Europe to return to that status. Initially, the Soviets agreed that these states could hold free elections after the war. Unfortunately, this did not occur, and Soviet-aligned communist governments were set up in all states east of the dividing line between Germany and Austria. This prompted the famous Iron Curtain speech by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1946, which is often considered the beginning of the Cold War.   Setting the Stage: The Berlin Crisis of 1948 Civilians in Berlin watching American and British planes deliver supplies to surpass a Soviet blockade of the city in 1948. Source: Cardiff University   The unique status of West Berlin, a small island of Western democracy surrounded by Soviet authoritarianism, made it a geopolitical target for Soviet premier Joseph Stalin. By 1948, the Western Allies had begun giving their sectors of Germany more political independence. There were even rumors that these sectors would be allowed to form an independent German nation once more, angering the Soviets. Having suffered terribly during the war, the Soviets feared any potential rearmament of Germany. In June 1948, American and British authorities released the new Deutschmark to West Berlin, signaling a move toward financial independence for the city from the surrounding Soviet-controlled state.   In response, the Soviets blocked all roads, waterways, and railway lines to West Berlin. Attempts to breach the blockade might result in war. Instead of risking a direct confrontation on the ground, the United States and Britain decided to launch an airlift and run thousands of flights of food and other supplies to the city. Simultaneously, the United States transferred B-29 bombers, widely known for carrying atomic bombs, to bases in Western Europe. After almost eleven months of the successful airlift, the Soviets lifted their blockade. It was clear that the US and Britain could sustain the airlift, forcing the Soviets to decide whether to escalate the situation.   Setting the Stage: Khrushchev Thaw & Space Race Eastern bloc citizens enjoying relaxed social and economic standards during the late 1950s under Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev. Source: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace   The tenuous position of West Berlin was noted, but tensions eventually cooled between the West and the Soviet Union in 1954, after the end of both the Korean War and the rule of Soviet premier Joseph Stalin, who had died in March 1953. Stalin’s eventual replacement, Nikita Khrushchev, relaxed many Stalinesque restrictions on entertainment and speech. Unlike Stalin, Khrushchev actively engaged with the West, often in a bombastic manner meant to show the supposed superiority of communism.   An era of competition began with Khrushchev’s administration, with the USSR and the United States trying to create the most modern jets and missiles. The arms race involved attempts to make longer-range and easier-to-launch ballistic missiles, with the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) created by 1957. Also in 1957, the Soviet Union won the first lap of the space race by successfully placing a man-made satellite into orbit. Sputnik 1 terrified the United States, with many worrying that the Soviets could weaponize space and strike America from above. Thus, despite the USSR becoming more relaxed internally, its technological growth and desire for competition frightened the West.   1960: Communist Cuba Nationalizes US Property Cuban dictator Fidel Castro (pictured here in 1959) nationalized American property on the island in 1960, prompting American outrage. Source: WGBH Educational Foundation   The Berlin Crisis of 1961 traces its direct roots to Cuba, which had undergone a communist revolution in 1958. In 1959, after former dictator Fulgencio Batista fled on January 1, a new government was created under revolutionary Fidel Castro. Initially, Castro was popular with the United States and denied being a communist when he visited the US in April 1959. Upon Castro’s return to his island nation, he began land reform in May. This sounded alarm bells that Castro was, in fact, a devout communist.   In February 1960, talks regarding economic assistance and trade began between Cuba and the Soviet Union. After the US vowed to stop selling oil to Cuba, oil was provided by the USSR beginning in April. American oil companies in Cuba refused to refine this Soviet oil, resulting in those companies being nationalized by Cuba in June. In July, the rest of American property in Cuba was nationalized. This wave of nationalizations outraged the United States, especially since it was done without compensation. In retaliation, the US placed a full trade embargo on the island. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were severed on January 3, 1961.   1960: U-2 Spy Plane Incident A Lockheed U-2 jet, one of which was involved in the infamous U-2 Spy Plane Incident in 1960. Source: Palm Springs Air Museum   While the Soviet Union may not have been particularly alarmed about the brouhaha between the US and Cuba, the detection of an American spy plane high above the USSR on May 1, 1960 definitely created a stir. The U-2 Spy Plane Incident revealed that the United States had been secretly surveilling the USSR with high-altitude flights, prompting outrage in the Soviet Union. Attempting to glean information on Soviet nuclear weapons, the US had been flying U-2 jets at up to 70,000 feet, which was believed to be safely above the range of Soviet radar or missiles. Unfortunately for CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers, this was untrue. Powers’ U-2 was hit, and he had to parachute to safety.   Although the United States initially denied Khrushchev’s accusations of the spy flights, the Soviets dramatically produced both Powers and aircraft wreckage. US President Dwight D. Eisenhower refused to apologize, and so an upcoming Soviet-American summit in Paris was called off. Francis Gary Powers was placed on trial and convicted of espionage, though he would be released early in exchange for a Soviet spy being repatriated by the United States. Khrushchev no longer wished to actively engage with Eisenhower after the incident and chose to wait for Eisenhower’s successor to take office the following January.   1961: Bay of Pigs Invasion A CIA-trained invader is led away by Cuban troops after being captured during the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. Source: US Naval Institute   When the term-limited Eisenhower was replaced by Democratic US Senator John F. Kennedy in January 1961, Khrushchev had little to gain: Kennedy was a staunch anti-communist. In fact, Kennedy doubled down on the United States’ rejection of Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba. After it appeared that Castro was trying to export communism to other parts of Latin America, the Kennedy administration decided to try to remove Castro from power. Inspired by previous CIA successes at regime change in Iran and Nicaragua, the Eisenhower administration began training Cuban dissidents in military tactics to overthrow Castro in 1960.   On April 17, 1961, these 1,400 dissidents were used to invade Cuba, with the belief that their appearance would prompt a popular uprising against Castro’s regime. Kennedy wanted to keep American involvement secret, which minimized its support. Even before the invasion began, problems emerged, and Castro’s government quickly realized that the United States was behind the attack. Ultimately, promised US air support for the invading exiles did not arrive, and 20,000 Cuban troops quickly crushed the invasion. Roughly 1,200 of the 1,400 invaders were captured, and Cuba quickly turned to the Soviet Union for military support.   Kennedy vs. Khrushchev US President John F. Kennedy (right) meeting with Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in June 1961. Source: National Archives   In June, only two months after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, US President John F. Kennedy met with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna, Austria. Things went poorly for Kennedy at the Vienna Summit, with the young president allegedly unprepared for a contentious encounter with Khrushchev. Critics felt that Kennedy had underestimated the diminutive Khrushchev and thought he could appeal to the older Russian through charm. Instead, Khrushchev was tough and uncompromising, likely emboldened by the failure of the US to support its CIA-trained invaders at the Bay of Pigs.   One major issue at the Vienna Summit was the question of West Berlin. The Soviets disliked that West Berlin was used as an avenue for dissidents and refugees to flee the Soviet bloc, which they could do through West Berlin’s guaranteed travel access to the West. To get around this guaranteed access and perhaps even erase West Berlin’s independence, the USSR wanted to sign an independent peace treaty with East Germany. This new peace treaty, which Khrushchev indicated he would pursue in six months, would supersede the ones from the 1940s and give Soviet-allied East Germany control over all access to Berlin.   Soviets Build the Berlin Wall Workers construct the Berlin Wall in August 1961 between West Berlin and East Berlin. Source: UK Government   In the pre-dawn hours of August 13, 1961, just two months after the Vienna Summit, Soviet-backed East Germans began construction on a concrete barrier. Thousands of soldiers and armored vehicles surrounded all of West Berlin, frightening residents. This Berlin Crisis of 1961 was prompted by several things: retaliation for the Bay of Pigs, an opportunity to press an advantage against a supposedly weak American president, and a physical attempt to stem the brain drain from thousands of skilled workers fleeing the Soviet bloc. Quickly, the Western powers met to determine Soviet intentions. Would West Berlin be seized?   Soldiers in Berlin, East Germany, in 1961. Source: The Wall Museum, Berlin   With war a real possibility, as the West had an obligation to defend West Berlin, militaries were placed on high alert. Fortunately, tensions cooled as analysts determined that the Soviets did not want to seize the western half of the city. However, the possibility of a shooting war remained as Western troops continued to travel to West Berlin through Checkpoint Alpha and Checkpoint Bravo.   In October, Soviet and East German forces escalated tensions by stopping vehicles of Western military leaders heading into West Berlin, violating treaties. For a week, provocations continued as East German authorities tried to stop Western vehicles, resulting in US military vehicles escorting them. On October 27, 1961, this reached a peak when Soviet tanks arranged themselves on the eastern side of Checkpoint Charlie, directly facing off against American tanks. Thankfully, cooler heads on both sides prevailed, and all tanks were recalled.   Aftermath: A Cold War Symbol US President Ronald Reagan visiting West Berlin in 1987, when he made his famous appeal to Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” Source: National Archives Foundation   For the next twenty-six years, the Berlin Wall stood as a stalwart symbol of communist resolve. US President Ronald Reagan, also a staunch anti-communist, had been aggressive in boosting American defense spending in the early 1980s to stare down the Soviet Union. By invading Grenada in 1983, giving weapons to the Mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan, and funding the Contras in Nicaragua, Reagan pushed back against communism more strongly than any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.   On June 12, 1987, Ronald Reagan visited West Berlin while in Europe for a tour of visits, including an economic summit in Venice. He visited the Berlin Wall and, in what became one of the most important speeches by an American president, urged: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” At the time, few believed that the wall would come down anytime soon—the Soviet Union was believed to be one of the strongest and most stable nations on Earth. Internally, however, economic problems and reforms allowed by Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev had created cracks in the foundation.   Aftermath: Germany Reunited in 1990 People tearing down sections of the Berlin Wall in 1989, with East and West Germany reuniting the following year. Source: University of Virginia   In 1989, the Soviet bloc began to crumble. Economic problems had emerged, and with them, the socialist spirit of collaboration had waned. In November 1989, massive demonstrations in Berlin led to the (in)famous wall being dismantled. Fortunately, the communist governments chose not to use force to try and quell the protests. Across Eastern Europe, for the most part peacefully, communist governments were overthrown. The Soviet Union did not attempt to prop up these governments with force.   After the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, West Germany and East Germany rapidly worked on the diplomatic front to reunite. On October 3, 1990, the two nations were formally reunited for the first time in 45 years. Initially, there was still some hesitation about a reunified and re-armed Germany, and the Soviet Union was not a fan of the reunification. Fourteen months later, the Soviet Union dissolved into Russia and a handful of smaller states. Many historians consider the Fall of the Berlin Wall to be the de-facto end of the Cold War, as the lack of Soviet resistance meant it could no longer afford to maintain its Cold War military status.

Former NIH Director Francis Collins Makes Admission On Key COVID-Era Guideline In Newly-Released Testimony

In a transcribed interview with the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins confirmed there was no scientific evidence backing the six-foot social distancing rule during the COVID-19 scamdemic. “Today, Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) released the transcript from Dr. Francis Collins’s transcribed interview. Dr. Collins helped lead the government’s COVID-19 pandemic response as the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) until his resignation at the end of 2021. In conjunction with the transcript, the Select Subcommittee also released a new staff memo that highlights the key takeaways from Dr. Collins’s transcribed interview,” the subcommittee wrote. “Dr. Collins testified that the ‘6 feet apart’ social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any science or data,” the subcommittee wrote. “Do you recall science or evidence that supported the six-foot distance?” the majority counsel asked Collins. “I do not,” Collins answered. “Is that I do not recall or I do not see any evidence supporting six feet?” Counsel asked. “I did not see evidence, but I’m not sure I would have been shown evidence at that point,” Collins answered. “Since then, it has been an awfully large topic. Have you seen any evidence since then supporting six feet?” Counsel asked. “No,” Collins replied. Dr. Collins testified that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any science or data. pic.twitter.com/6c88SNX55n — Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (@COVIDSelect) May 16, 2024 Exclusive: I have obtained the transcript of Francis Collins’s closed-door testimony. He admitted there was no evidence to support six feet apart and conceded coronavirus origins are still up for debate. Full story @NRO: https://t.co/uweD9rP3pT — James Lynch (@jameslynch32) May 16, 2024 National Review reports: Collins was the boss of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during the pandemic. And his testimony is similar to Fauci’s, who admitted to the subcommittee that the six-foot guidance just appeared. Fauci invited Collins to the February 2020 call that set in motion the publication of the “Proximal Origin” paper in Nature that attempted to discredit the lab-leak hypothesis at the start of the pandemic, Collins testified. Before the phone call, Collins said he had not expressed an opinion on whether the virus came from a lab. Afterward, he said, he did because he trusted the experts. Collins defended his decision by asserting the need to challenge claims that the coronavirus was engineered by humans. The subcommittee implicated Collins and Fauci in a report published last year on how top public-health officials orchestrated the “Proximal Origins” paper. In an email after the February 1, 2020, conference call, Collins warned of the “voices of conspiracy” doing harm to science. He later influenced the substance of the “Proximal Origins” paper. “Dr. Collins stated that the COVID-19 lab-leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory,” the subcommittee noted. “Dr. Collins testified that he was unaware of ANY NIH policies that ensure proper oversight of foreign labs. This means that NIH often lacks the necessary expertise to ensure U.S. taxpayer funds are spent safely,” the subcommittee added.

NIH Official Makes Long-Awaited Gain-Of-Function Research Admission Per Zero Hedge: As the COVID-19 outbreak spread in 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued guidance describing social distancing to include staying away from congregant settings, avoiding mass gatherings, and maintaining a distance of at least six feet from others when possible. The CDC’s latest guidance on respiratory virus infection prevention (updated on April 4, 2024) includes a section on physical distancing. It indicates that putting physical distance between oneself and others can help lower the risk of spreading a respiratory virus. “There is no single number that defines a ’safe' distance, since spread of viruses can depend on many factors,” the guidance states, which comports with studies such as one from 2021 that concluded that the one-size-fits-all six-foot physical distancing rule is invalid. However, the CDC’s latest guidance for healthcare settings, updated on March 18, 2024, makes several references to six feet. For instance, it recommends that in dental facilities with open floor plans, one strategy to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to ensure “at lest 6 feet of space between patient chairs.” It also defines “close contact” between individuals as “being within 6 feet for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period with someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection.” The Epoch Times has reached out to the CDC with a request for comment on Dr. Collins’s remarks and for clarification on what scientific basis the agency incorporated the six-foot figure into its COVID-19 prevention guidance.

Bo Polny: SILVER in MAY – Trading will SHUT DOWN!!

Bo Polny just posted an urgent warning about Precious Metals that I think everyone should see. This is not from an interview with me, although I can’t wait to ask him about it next time we talk….if it’s not too late by then. This clip is less than 5 minutes long, but very worth your time. It might play out before your very eyes before the month of May is even over. Watch here: Transcript: this is actually the document right here from the CME there’s four levels to it this is going to take 5 minutes 5 minutes 5 minutes 5 minutes that’s 20 minutes Andrew and I’ve been joking and talking about and pastor dayve about about a beach day this is why I know this is coming because if they liquidate massive short positions in 5 minutes the moment they open it up it’s going to blow vertical again because the short positions have been liquidated and so in 20 minutes $3 times four stops is $122 silver will move $12 vertical when this event goes down in a matter of 20 minutes after the fourth stop there will be no more stops and then it will probably jump between 20 and $30 in a matter of a few minutes so in a single day you’re going to add 20 to $30 to the $12 stop so that’s between $30 and $40 silver will move in a matter of 30 minutes may maybe an hour or two that’s what silver is going to do and I’m not making this up this is literally a letter written by the CM me on December 5 2014 so I want viewers to understand when this thing goes and we’ve set the roof on Silver 26 so I know Andrew is saying hey we got a handful of people U because the prices Gold’s making new highs people are dumping people you’re making the silliest mistake I’m literally buying silver with Andrew CU I know what’s coming Gold’s got stops at 100 $100 so Gold’s going to go 100 stop 100 stop it’s going to go four four times of $400 it’ll do $400 increments in 20 minutes and then it’s probably going to go a th000 bucks in a single day so I’m telling you when this thing blows Kent Christmas actually had a prophetic word so watch me saith God all that I’ve declared shall come to pass make sure sayeth the Lord that when I begin to release my blessings that you do not miss them come on because you rode the fence to see which side won before you chose and I say to you you ride the fence sayith God you’ve already chose hear me says the Lord I’m getting ready to stop speaking prophetic and I’m going to fulfill it when God intervenes upon this it’s just going to blow there is no stop what’s about to happen and so that takes me to what Pastor Dave can may be further expand upon in Andrew but when you understand when did the great wealth transfer happen for Israel at Egypt it happened at Passover did it not please understand this is not political this is Biblical times we’re living in the eclipse just happened two weeks from the eclipse is Passover if you’re sitting on the fence to see if Bo Andrew and Pastor Dave know what they’re talking about and waiting to see if we’re right or not when it happens Andrew unfortunately and not only Andrew every single gold dealer in North America and and the world are going to shut their doors for a window of time could be three days it be shut down for I don’t know but it’ll be shut down for a few days and then when it opens back up Andre will be able to start selling again but it’s not going to be at 27 or $30 silver it will probably be at $70 silver with a spread of 30 bucks we’re trying to get you to wake up pay attention to the times that we’re living in we’re this far away from Passover Beverly Hills precious metals exchange is a client Focus firm devoted to assisting our clients with precious metals our clients range from first time to Serious Coin collectors and investors seeking to add precious metals to their investment portfolios we are not interested in volatile Investments leverage products and intang able assets with Rising inflation and the devaluing of the dollar hurting middle- class families investing in gold and silver ensures protection for your hard-earned money save the value of your money today I think he’s on to something. In fact, I just posted this earlier today: Precious Metals Surge: Silver Hits 11-Year High If you want more from Bo, here's our FULL CHAT from when he was on my show last week: Bo Polny: "I'm Going Dark For 10 Days...and You May Be Right About XRP!" Bo Polny was back on my show yesterday and it's already generating a LOT of discussion! I'm so excited for you to hear this one... This was definitely unlike any interview we've ever done, for so many reasons. First was the fact we almost cancelled it! We were all set to go live and then Bo jumps on and says "Hey, I'm not sure what you want to do, but we might have to cancel this today, something just happened....." Bo tells the whole story live on the air (so I guess that's a big spoiler alert that we didn't indeed cancel) but I'll let you hear the story during the interview instead of spoiling the reason here. In fact, I told Bo -- no way!  That is all the more reason why we have to go live today for sure! It's all related to Bo going dark for 10 days, which is explained in the interview as well. Then we got into the Stairway To Heaven song, a song that almost everyone knows. Bo threw me for a loop when he said it was actually a prophetic song, and then we broke that all down. Judging by all the comments that are flooding in to YouTube and Rumble, many of you have a lot of opinions on that topic! But I would urge you to listen to what Bo has to say first before you comment. Then we got into the BRICS and a major new development that is hitting imminently. The pieces have all been lining up for years and now the switch is about to be flipped. Speaking of "flipping the switch", there's a HUGE shoutout to the XRP Army in this one as Bo is finally coming around to XRP in a big way! I couldn't believe it when he told me live on the air. And we did all of that before we could even get into Bo's slides. As you all know, Bo's slides are awesome and so much packed in there, but we were almost at the end of the interview and we hadn't even opened them up yet! So we landed the plane by talking about the Kentucky Derby and the WILD prophetic connections that once again popped up in that recent race, like they so often do. I'm telling you this one was jam packed! I really hope you enjoy this. Watch here: Backup here on Rumble: As always, I've got the links you need right here: ?

If you're new to buying gold, you first need a trusted resource to lay out the plain facts. You need to know a brief history, why gold works, and the options available to you. Thankfully, there’s a new, easy-to-read guidebook that’s opening minds and growing investment accounts. Genesis Gold is offering a free guide that has everything you need to learn about investing in gold and other precious metals.

I'm not a financial advisor and I can't tell you what to do, but I can look at historical data and I can easily see that the current price of Gold and Silver makes no sense unless....it's being manipulated. Now who would want to do that? And the more important question: will it go on forever, or do the manipulators eventually release the stretched rubber band and ride an explosion up? I've you've been paying attention in life, you know the answer. You know these crooks on Wall Street manipulate things down, ⭐ then they load their boats, then they manipulate them up into a bubble. Where are we in that process right now for commodities like Gold and Silver? Right exactly where I placed that star up above. ⭐ = You Are Here The Big Boys are loading their boats. But that's not just my opinion. I'm a nobody. Listen to Andy Schectman who is an expert on these things and he lays it out PERFECTLY in two minutes. Here's my rough paraphrase: "A concerted effort by the very powerful to use the suppression of commodities (gold, silver, but also a long list of all other commodities)...these countries are not complaining about suppressed low prices yet because they're accumulating!  But once it becomes obvious that the availability of these commodities is very scarce and no one wants to sell at these "make believe prices" then the public says "OMG, what have we been missing?"  And maybe that all happens in concert with a breakdown of the banking system, then the public says "give it to me now" and that's when you'll see the circuit breakers be put into affect.  But at that point it's too late." Oh my! It's so much better to listen to him explain it in his own words. It's just 2 minutes long. Watch here (as presented by my friend the Digital Asset Investor): Comex 589 pic.twitter.com/uPzrOGXhZ5 — Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) September 11, 2023 But it's not just Andy either. It's this latest interview over at SGT Report. Sean does such a great job over there of interviewing people on topics the MSM doesn't want you to see, and his latest is called "$1,000 Silver -- Seriously, Stop Laughing". There's actually a lot of history that goes into that quote and this was a great discussion by four very smart individuals. Watch here: I've been sounding the alarm for a while now... Have you taken action? As always, there's one thing I always say and it's never been proven wrong:  Watch what they DO, not what they SAY. Who is "they"? The same people Andy Schectman was talking about. Big Governments. Central Banks all over the world. Big Business. What are they doing? They are LOADING THEIR BOATS with as much Gold and Silver as they can find and they're laughing all the way to the bank because they're buying at what Andy says are "make believe prices". Are you? After the Great Financial Crash of 2008, I made a decision. From that point forward, I would simply do what the Big Boys were doing. I would simply watch what they're doing and copy it. Oh, and if they had Jim Cramer telling people the OPPOSITE (i.e. Cramer says Gold is a loser, but the Central Banks are buying with both fists) that was usually the perfect confirmation I needed. So that's been my strategy since 2008 and it's worked very well for me. Here's more.... Here's Why Banks Are Buying Up All of the Gold I've got Jordan Peterson and Peter Schiff in a fascinating conversation about the Value of Gold. And it's not just some academic debate. This could very soon be one of the most important things in your world when the U.S. Dollar crashes and gets its value cut in half....or worse. These guys know what they're talking about and this short 8 minute clip is definitely worth your time to watch. I always say this: don't listen to what the "Elites" tell you....watch what they are DOING. And what are they doing? Stacking gold and silver. As much as they can get their hands on. Look, I hope I'm wrong but I think we're in for a massive event that is going to destroy bank accounts and destroy the U.S. Dollar. So what happens to YOU when that happens? Watch this and then scroll down for how I can help you stay safe right now.... Watch: So, what can YOU do to protect yourself? To protect your family? To stay safe? Simple: you need to get some #Gold or #Silver in your own possession. It's called "physical" gold and silver. Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn't backed by anything. Don't touch that stuff. I have two special hook-ups for you. Both involve PHYSICAL gold and silver. Because if you do NOTHING else, make sure you own "physical" gold and silver, not paper contracts. The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero, because they're not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent. It's a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon...) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it's literally written on. And I know you'll never forget it if I give you this GIF so....Let's Get Physical: Now...WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it's real and safe? And that you're getting the best price? Oh, and how about personal one-on-one real customer service? You know, like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help? That's what I'm about to tell you.   I have two killer connections for you... The first is for purchasing gold and silver bullion. That means bulk bars. That's the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible. The website is called WLT Precious Metals and when you see my logo in the top left-hand corner, you'll know you're in the right place. You'll get a personal phone call with Ira Bershatsky (or someone on his team) and they will work with you free of charge for as long as needed to answer any questions you have and get you taken care of. How about that! You don't see that much anymore, but Ira and his team pride themselves on good old-fashioned real customers service: No sales pitch, just real, actual help. And the best prices you will find. Here's the only disclaimer I will give you: because they do pride themselves on dedicated service, it might take a few days before you get a phone call back.  Just be patient. Good things come to those who wait! You can contact Ira and WLT Precious Metals here. Ok, that was #1. Now I want to tell you about option #2. An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys. This next company is called Genesis Gold and this is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). You know what the beauty of that is? TAX FREE baby! I'm not a tax advisor, but that's a general oversimplification. Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay. And that's why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!). There's so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina! They call it "Faith-Driven Stewardship" and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel: Wealth Preservation With Gold & Silver – The Genesis Gold IRA By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4 Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability, and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess. Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization, and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency, man-made paper, and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust, sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war, greed, and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline, nurture self-constraint, self-reliance, and balance, and lead to confidence, a restrained government, and a more stable foreign policy. Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold & Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times. With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry, let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA. Sincerely, Genesis Gold Group Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship Oh....and they're VERY good at what they do. You also get physical gold and silver with Genesis, believe it or not!  The gold and silver is purchased for you (in whatever combination of coins and bars you prefer, a picture taken and sent to you, and then stored safely in a vault for you! I love what these guys are doing. Here's more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful: You can contact Genesis Gold here. They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance! Tell 'em Noah sent ya! Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself? It's true. Superman himself, Clark Kent -- Dean Cain -- came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe! Make sure you can weather the storm when it hits! Because the storm always hits eventually, doesn't it? As for me and my house, we will be ready.

“Some People Got Significant Side Effects From The Vaccine,” Former CDC Director Says [WATCH]

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Robert Redfield said during an interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation it’s time to admit the experimental COVID-19 shots had “significant side effects.” “Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Thursday that many officials who tried to warn the public about potential problems with COVID-19 vaccines were pressured into silence and that it’s high time to admit that there were ‘significant’ side effects that made people sick,” Chief Nerd said, citing The Epoch Times. “‘Those of us that tried to suggest there may be significant side effects from vaccines … we kind of got canceled because no one wanted to talk about the potential that there was a problem from the vaccines, because they were afraid that that would cause people not to want to get vaccinated,’ Dr. Redfield said,” Chief Nerd added. “Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Thursday that many officials who tried to warn the public about potential problems with COVID-19 vaccines were pressured into silence and that it’s high time to admit that there… pic.twitter.com/voivufj6VC — Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) May 18, 2024 “We have to be honest. Some people got significant side effects from the vaccine. I have a number of people that are quite ill and they never had COVID, but they are ill from the vaccine,” Redfield told Cuomo. “We just have to acknowledge that,” he added.

And if you’re over the age of 70, it’s about 5 percent now,” he testified at the time. While there’s lingering controversy about the severity of COVID-19, a recent study estimates that the global case fatality rate was 8.5 percent in February 2020 but had plunged to 0.27 percent in August 2022, meaning that the estimated relative risk reduction over that time was a whopping 96.8 percent. Ex-CDC Director Says It’s High Time to Admit ‘Significant Side Effects’ of COVID-19 Vaccines ‘We kind of got cancelled because no one wanted to talk about the potential that there was a problem from the vaccines,’ Dr. Robert Redfield said.https://t.co/kdt6wM1yCp — The Epoch Times (@EpochTimes) May 18, 2024 Redfield repeated the often-told false rhetoric that the experimental shots also had benefits and saved “a lot of lives,” The Epoch Times noted. “There’s been so much credibility lost in the public science groups, NIH, FDA, CDC, because I think there was lack of really just transparency,” Redfield said. “One of the things I used to tell my colleagues, don’t be afraid to say you don’t know the answer, and all too often, people would make up the answer. And as you know, those of us who tried to suggest there may be significant side effects from vaccines, we kinda like what the rest of us show that you had early on, we kinda got cancelled,” he added.

The rates of myocarditis and pericarditis in individuals within 21 days of getting their second shot were 35.6 and 22.9 per million doses for Moderna compared to 12.6 and 9.4 per million for Pfizer. The Department of Defense (DOD) allegedly ignored concerns about recorded health complications after mandating the vaccine. One Air Force reservist suffered from at least one stroke that caused severe, career-ending eyesight dysfunction after she received her second dose of the Pfizer-BioTech vaccine. An Air Force fighter pilot instructor was diagnosed with pericarditis (heart inflammation) and anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) on Dec. 21, 2021, just one day after receiving the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Blood clotting, medically known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, occurs in 3.8 per million who receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, mainly in females between the ages 18 to 49, according to Nebraska Medicine. For women, blood clotting from Johnson & Johnson happens in 5.8 per million patients. Anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, has occurred at a rate of approximately 5 cases per one million vaccines administered, according to the CDC. The CDC found “higher than expected rates” of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS, a rare disorder causing the immune system to cause muscle weakness and paralysis through the damage of nerve cells, in patients 50 years and older after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the CDC reported. Within 21 days of getting the jab, GBS is 21 times higher in patients receiving the Johnson and Johnson vaccine than those receiving the Pfizer or Moderna. It is 11 times higher in Johnson & Johnson after 42 days.
