American Billionaires Grew Wealth by $340B in 2021; Middle Class Shrunk in Mandate-Crazy Economy

/0 Comments/in , /by

The richest billionaires in the United States grew their wealth by more than $340 billion over the last year, while the wealth held by the American middle class shrinks.

U.S. billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Steve Ballmer, Larry Elison, and Warren Buffett grew their combined wealth to about $341 billion in 2021, according to figures published by CNBC. . .

At the same time, the American middle class has seen a dramatic drop in wealth. The middle class includes 77.5 million U.S. households with an annual income of $27,000 to $141,000.

In October 2021, Breitbart News reported the top one percent of income earners in the U.S. now hold more wealth than the entire American middle class. Specifically, the middle class has seen its share of national wealth plummet to just 26.6 percent while the top one percent’s share of wealth has grown to 27 percent — the first time in U.S. history that the top one percent’s share of wealth has outpaced the middle class’s share of wealth.

Report: Ukraine Invasion ‘Likely’ as Biden Prepares for Call With Zelensky

/1 Comment/in , /by

Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday he believes it is “very likely” that Russia will invade Ukraine as President Biden prepared for another call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the tense standoff.

“I fear that Putin is very likely to invade. I still, frankly, don’t understand the full motivation for why, why now he’s doing this. But he certainly appears intent on it unless we can persuade him otherwise,” Schiff (D-Calif.) said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

“And I think nothing other than a level of sanctions that Russia has never seen will deter him, and that’s exactly what we need to do with our allies,” he added.

Biden said he warned President Vladimir Putin during their phone call on Thursday that he will be hit with “severe sanctions” if an attack is launched against Ukraine.

“I made it clear to President Putin that we will have severe sanctions, we will increase our presence in Europe, with NATO allies,” Biden told reporters last Friday. (Read more from “Report: Ukraine Invasion ‘Likely’ as Biden Prepares for Call With Zelensky” HERE)

With More COVID Deaths in 2021 Than ‘20, When Does Trump Get His Apology?

/1 Comment/in , /by

The fullness of time and now the Omicron wave have made it obvious how preposterous the chief lines of criticism against Donald Trump were during the pandemic.

It has been said, over and over, that Trump almost single-handedly killed Americans. MSNBC host Chris Hayes a couple of months ago called for a truth-and-reconciliation-commission-type inquiry into how the former president “willfully got hundreds of thousands of people killed.” Willfully!

During one of the 2020 presidential debates, Joe Biden said of Trump, “Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.”

Why, then, does Biden get to stay in office? Tragically, more people died of the coronavirus in 2021 than in 2020. Indeed, if you simply look at the progression of cases and deaths in the United States over time, you’d have no idea that a new president took office in January 2021.

That line from Biden in the debate, by the way, wasn’t a one-off; it was one of his main themes. “If this president is reelected, we know what will happen,” Biden said of Trump at the Democratic convention. “Cases and deaths will remain far too high.” (Read more from “With More COVID Deaths in 2021 Than ‘20, When Does Trump Get His Apology?” HERE)

Experts Warn Against Storing Passwords in This Browser After Hackers Target Remote Workers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hackers are preying on people working from home for passwords stored in web browsers, experts claim.

Keeping passwords saved in the likes of Chrome and Edge are pretty common practice and usually considered quite safe.

They are designed to take the hassle out of remembering login details for every site you use.

But now IT researchers are cautioning against using such features in any browser over a recent security breach that compromised a company.

Bad actors appear to be exploiting the fact office workers in the UK and US are being forced to work from home amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. (Read more from “Experts Warn Against Storing Passwords in This Browser After Hackers Target Remote Workers” HERE)

Abortion Leading Global Cause of Death in 2021 With 43 Million Killed

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Abortion was the leading cause of death globally in 2021, with nearly 43 million unborn babies killed in the womb, according to data provided by Worldometer.

As of noon on December 31, 2021, there were 42.6 million abortions performed in the course of the year, Worldometer revealed, while 8.2 million people died from cancer, 5 million from smoking, 1.7 million of HIV/AIDS, 1.3 million from traffic fatalities, and 1 million from suicide.

Totaling all the deaths in the world from causes other than abortion reveals a figure of 58.7 million, meaning that abortions accounted for just over 42 percent of all human deaths in 2021.

By comparison, worldwide deaths from coronavirus in 2021 totaled around 3.5 million, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Worldometer — voted one of the best free reference websites by the American Library Association (ALA) — keeps a running tally through the year of major world statistics, including population, births, deaths, automobiles produced, books published, and CO2 emissions.

COVID Antiviral Pills Can Cause Life-Threatening Reactions

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Pfizer’s antiviral oral drug developed to treat COVID-19 can cause severe or life-threatening effects when used with common medications including some anti-coagulants, some anti-depressants, and some cholesterol-lowering statins, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (pdf).

FDA does not recommend Paxlovid for those with severe kidney or liver disease.

The FDA on Dec. 22 granted emergency use authorization (EUA) to Pfizer’s COVID-19 treatment pill as treatment for mild-to-moderate cases of COVID-19 in patients from 12 years of age.

Paxlovid was the first oral medication of its kind authorized by the FDA to treat COVID-19, with the aim of reducing the need for hospitalization before patients become too ill from the infection.

“This authorization provides a new tool to combat COVID-19 at a crucial time in the pandemic as new variants emerge and promises to make antiviral treatment more accessible to patients who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19,” stated Patrizia Cavazzoni, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

Here’s the Result of Restoring Liberty’s First Fundraiser in Two Years

/0 Comments/in , , /by

UPDATE: Over the past three weeks, Restoring Liberty reached 83% of our fundraising goal. We are so incredibly thankful for the dozens of generous donors who graciously contributed to keep us operating, but we fell short of what we need to pay our actual expenses. If you have not yet contributed, we ask you to please donate HERE so that we can continue our operations in the coming year. Thank you!
_______________________________________________________

Thanks to you, our loyal readers, Restoring Liberty continues to have major impact across the nation. We still attract several hundred thousand page views each month, and several million unique users each year.

Although we rarely ask for your financial contributions, we are at a point now that we must.

Please keep Restoring Liberty online by donating HERE.

As many of our faithful readers know, Restoring Liberty was literally one of the first sites de-monetized by Big Tech. Years ago — even before President Trump — Google banned our site from any ad revenue; in fact, we believe we were one of the first major websites to suffer such an attack from the leftwing tech giants. Our Facebook and Twitter accounts have been shadow-banned for years, now reaching less than one out of a thousand followers.

And you have to ask yourself why.

There’s been a lot of recent publicity regarding sites like WND that were de-monetized by Google. Incredibly, Restoring Liberty was targeted a full ten years before that. Maybe because we were one of the first websites to sound the alarm regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s corruption of our political class and the apparent complicity of our federal law enforcement?

To continue to get this anti-Establishment news to you, our website incurs significant operational costs each month. These expenses include webhosting costs, editor’s salary, domain fees, email service fees, and other tech-related expenses. As we have not asked for donations for the past two years, we are now over $10,000 in the red.

For Restoring Liberty to continue to deliver to you the critical stories that are otherwise buried in the mainstream media, we must have your support. Please ensure that we can continue our efforts by donating HERE.

If you would prefer to donate by mail, please send your contributions to: Restoring Liberty, POB 83440, Fairbanks, AK 99708.

Kathleen and I are incredibly honored and thankful for your readership and generous donations to keep Restoring Liberty online!

Unearthed Interview Reveals How Ghislaine Maxwell Helped Kill Vanity Fair Exposé

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ghislaine Maxwell savaged a Vanity Fair reporter nearly 20 years ago to help bury an exposé of her sex crimes — while claiming pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was generous and “very, very good” to his accusers, according to a newly released transcript of her rare interview.

Maxwell, now 60, did not testify during her sex-trafficking trial, in which her legal team insisted she was an innocent scapegoat for the “bad behavior” of Epstein, her late ex and longtime companion.

But she did speak out in 2002 — in a fiery interview that, like the planned exposé, never ran in Vanity Fair. Instead, the mag published a flattering puff piece titled “The Talented Mr. Epstein.”

Reporter Vicky Ward said it was her “eternal regret” that the magazine did not run the accusations by Maria Farmer and her sister Annie, whose testimony was key in Maxwell’s conviction this week.

Ward finally posted the full exchange with Maxwell on her Substack Thursday — saying it showed the disgraced British socialite “lied to me about not giving Annie Farmer a massage” and also repeatedly hailed Epstein’s “generosity” to his accusers.

Hollywood Legend Dead Just Shy of 100th Birthday

/0 Comments/in , /by

Betty White, the trailblazing television star whose more than eight-decade career saw her go from unforgettable roles on “The Golden Girls” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” to becoming a cultural icon in her 80s and 90s, has died less than three weeks before her 100th birthday.

Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Mike Lopez told The Post that officers responded to a radio call Friday at about 9:30 a.m. concerning “a natural death investigation” at the 99-year-old’s home in Brentwood, Calif.

Her agent and close friend Jeff Witjas later confirmed the news to People magazine.

“Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever,” Witjas said in a statement.

“I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don’t think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband, Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again.” (Read more from “Hollywood Legend Dead Just Shy of 100th Birthday” HERE)
