Donald Trump says ‘it’s great to be home’ as he arrives in Scotland amid slew of lawsuits

The former US president has said he will be opening a ‘spectacular’ second golf course in Aberdeen
Donald Trump declared “it’s great to be home” as he landed in Scotland on Monday to visit his golf resorts ahead of a trip to Ireland.
The former president, who is running again for the White House in 2024, was in Aberdeen to cut a ribbon to mark breaking ground on a new, second course at his Menie Estate.
He arrived with son Eric and was greeted at Aberdeen Airport by pipers, a red carpet and 10-vehicle motorcade.
“It’s great to be home, this was the home of my mother,” Trump said.
His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides before emigrating to the US. The new course at Menie will be named after her.
At his Aberdeenshire resort, Mr Trump said he was going to build “a great golf course”.
“We’ve had a lot of pleasure in working on this land and there is no other land like it,” he said. “We have incredible views by the sea and there are no other dunes like these in the world. It will be a great success.
“This project is very close to my heart and I am delighted to say that this is our first day of work on the new course.
“It will be dedicated to my late mother and that is a source of great pride to me and my family. My mother was an incredible woman who loved Scotland.
“She returned here every year and she loved the Queen. I got to know the Queen too during my visits here I love Scotland just as much.”
Following his time in Scotland, Mr Trump will head to his course in Doonbeg on Ireland’s west coast.
The billionaire, seen by many as the presumptive Republican nominee for 2024, said his campaign is “on his mind”, stressing that a victory for him would make America “greater than ever before”.

First Republic Bank Bailed Out After Collapse As Nations Move Away From US Dollar

The United States, for the better part of a century, has been the “indisposable nation” that others turn to when they need just about anything. But first gradually, via systemic corruption and fiscal insolvency, and then suddenly in the age of a decrepit puppet, Joe Biden, a growing number of countries are attempting to move away from America and its currency, the US dollar.

According to reports, a coalition of 24 countries is seeking to create a strategic alliance that would challenge the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency, which it has held for decades. The BRICS group, composed of five economically aligned countries, is said to be in the process of a significant expansion, The Daily Hodl reported: https://dailyhodl.com/2023/04/28/24-nations-align-against-us-dollar-as-brics-looks-to-launch-new-global-currency/

South Africa’s BRICS ambassador, Anil Sooklal, has revealed that a total of 24 countries are interested in joining the strategic alliance that aims to challenge the US dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency. The core collective, consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is on the verge of a significant expansion, as 13 countries have formally requested to join, and six others have informally expressed their interest in becoming part of the alliance.

The new members include Saudi Arabia, Iran, Argentina, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Egypt, Bahrain, Indonesia, two unnamed East African countries, and one from West Africa, according to Sooklal, who spoke to Bloomberg.

BRICS was formed in 2006 without including South Africa, which joined in 2010. The new form of fiat currency will likely be backed by other assets, including precious metals like gold, said Russian State Duma Deputy Chairman Alexander Babakov, according to the Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik. Additional details are expected to emerge by the summer, with the next BRICS summit scheduled for late August in South Africa.

One of the reasons for the decline in the US dollar’s global dominance is the changing geopolitical landscape. The rise of China as an economic power has led to the emergence of the yuan as a rival reserve currency. Furthermore, the US’s use of sanctions as a foreign policy tool has led countries to look for ways to bypass the dollar. For instance, Russia has been reducing its holdings of US Treasury securities in recent years as a response to US sanctions.

The decline of the US dollar’s global dominance has implications for the US economy. For instance, a weaker dollar could lead to higher inflation and make imports more expensive. Additionally, if the dollar loses substantial market share, it could have a negative macroeconomic impact on the US, according to experts.

Since the turn of the century, there has been a decline in the dollar share of international reserves. Despite being the world’s most important currency since the end of World War II, experts argue that dollar dominance leads to increased trade deficits and job losses. Many countries hold reserves in US dollars for various reasons, including to assure creditors that debt payments can be made in foreign currency.

But the recent accelerated move away from the dollar comes after President Donald Trump’s reelection was literally stolen from him and the weak, brain-addled Joe Biden was installed as a puppet. Nations around the world have seen what happened and they believe the US is in major decline now because our system has become so corrupt.

BRICS is just the first global challenge to US dominance. There will be others.

The FDIC has once again had to move in and support a collapsed financial institution --- First Republic Bank — after the second-largest banking failure in the history of the country.

The bank’s collapse is the latest in a slew of other bank failures that began in March. Nevertheless, we’re being told ‘all is well’ by the same government officials and politicians who assured us that nothing like this could happen again after major federal legislation was passed in the wake of the ’08 near-collapse of the entire U.S. financial system.

Oh, and now, as then, banks are being propped up with your tax dollars, though JPMorgan Chase moved to purchase First Republic on Monday.

“Treasury is encouraged that this institution was resolved with the least cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund, and in a manner that protected all depositors,” the Treasury Department said, according to FOX Business. “The banking system remains sound and resilient, and Americans should feel confident in the safety of their deposits and the ability of the banking system to fulfill its essential function of providing credit to businesses and families.”

On Monday, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) approved JPMorgan Chase’s $10.6 billion offer to acquire the assets of a San Francisco-based lender following the government’s seizure of the failed bank over the weekend. This marks the third major US financial institution to collapse in the last 60 days, the outlet reported.

However, deposits in First Republic Bank exceeding the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit were not covered. Last week, the bank faced significant pressure after reporting over $100 billion in outflows during the first quarter and exploring possible solutions. Since the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in early March, First Republic has been struggling and was viewed as the bank at the highest risk of collapse.

Meanwhile on Monday, President Joe Biden --- who literally has no clue what’s going on around him — was trotted out by his handlers to claim that the FDIC’s decision to allow JPMorgan Chase Bank to take over all deposits of First Republic Bank will guarantee US banking system is “safe and sound.”

Be advised many other nations do not feel the same way, it would be wise to prepare and not take advice from corrupted governments.

Every American should understand our situation as it stands right now.

You’ve all been trained to be loyal to political parties just like you are loyal to a sports team, but for our country’s very own survival, you must put down your mascot and see things clearly.

We are in $31 Trillion dollars in debt because of the politicians from both parties, who have held power for decades, and hold power right now, and these same politicians want a clean debt ceiling increase with no strings attached so they can just keep insanely spending your hard-earned tax dollars until we fully collapse.

We are on the brink of nuclear world war from our involvement in the Ukraine/Russia war because of the politicians from both parties, who have held power for decades, and hold power right now, and the top guy in the “free press” got fired for talking about it because the owners of the media company support defending Ukraine’s border and talked to Ukraine’s president about it.

Our border is out of our control and invaded daily by thousands of people and deadly drugs because of the politicians from both parties, who have held power for decades, and hold power right now, but you're being told by everyone that Ukraine’s border is the only border we must defend.

Big corporate banks backed by the Treasury are swallowing smaller banks in terrifying speed while these same politicians aligned with others, who have financial interests, are moving America along with the world to digital currency.

At the same time America is being converted to electric vehicles by the same politicians and their financially invested friends, not because of consumer demand or because electric vehicle batteries are American-made and good for the environment, because they’re not.

When everything is digital and electric will Americans still blindly trust those same old politicians who wave their beloved political mascot as they hold the full power to turn off your bank account and power to drive and re-charge and censor your ability to even speak about it if you go against the current thing?

Corporate Communism is a very real threat to individual freedoms and independence and America is nearly fully controlled by it because of the same old politicians from both parties, who have held power for decades, and hold power right now.

So while they are failing America by putting you $31 Trillion in debt and now arrogantly demanding another debt ceiling increase while pretending to care about our border security while our BPA are overwhelmed with over 22,000 border apprehensions and countless gotaways in the past 3 days, and Title 42 will be lifted May 11th which will open our floodgates, they are drooling with bloodlust for their precious war against nuclear Russia in Ukraine “defending democracy” instead of responsibly brokering a peace deal between the two countries and using our military to defend our own border that is heavily controlled by the cartels.

And the President of the United States family has been involved in money laundering in exchange for influence at the highest level of our government with his son at the head of the criminal enterprise running the show while also involved in human sex trafficking, and literally everyone in Washington has known for years, but now some of us hold the proof in our hands, but the power to prosecute lies with the complicit DOJ whose alliance lies with the same old politicians from both parties, who have held power for decades, and hold power right now.

I won’t participate or go along to get along. Washington has nothing to offer me, and clearly Washington has nothing to offer the American people either.
The Trojan Unicorn: Queer Theory and Paedophilia (Audio Essay)
4,486 views  Streamed live on Mar 7, 2022
https://youtube.com/watch?v=qAP4czG3DjE

DESCRIPTION:
There is a common accusation aimed at the LGBT movement which is that the movement is trying to "normalize" pedophilia. The accusation is that using softer words like "Inter-generational relations" and couching defense of pedophile rights in the discussion of gay rights is a way to insidiously promote the legalization of pedophilia and child pornography by linking gay rights to sexual liberation in all its forms. 

This accusation is wrong - but it's complicated. ...

Feminists who are presently disparaged as "Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists" (aka TERFS) are generally skeptical of the philosophical assertions of Queer Theory. One such feminist, ... "Dr. Em", detailed the reasons for her caution in a series of essays citing the original writings of major figures in the Queer Theory movement. The original Medium.com articles were censored and removed by the platform.

This video is an audio essay reading of this series of posts diving into 4 key figures in Postmodern philosophy and its subsequent school of thought "Queer Theory" and how they have addressed the issue of the age of consent, adult child sex and images of child sexual abuse. 

TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - Introduction
06:03 - Part I - Michel Foucault - Postmodernism
17:10 - Part II - Gayle Rubin - Cultural Anthropologist, Queer Theorist and Activist
24:44 - Part III - Pat Califia - Author, Queer Theorist and Activist
42:10 - Part IV - Judith Butler - Philosopher, Queer Theorist


SUMMARY:
Queer Theory is based on the claim that children can consent to sex with adults. 
So although it's often couched in deliberately obscure language and theory, that's where it leads.

Foucault is the father of post-modernism which claims that (a) reality is entirely SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED and (b) children can consent to sex with adults. [means nothing is really immoral]
ttps:'//'uncommongroundmedia.com/the-trojan-unicorn-queer-theory-and-paedophilia-part-i-dr-em/

Rubin built on Foucault's ideas, saying in the 1970s that restricting child pornography is an attack on sexual civil liberties.
https:'//'uncommongroundmedia.com/the-trojan-unicorn-qt-and-paedophilia-part-ii-dr-em/

Pat Califia, a ‘titan’ of Queer Theory around 2000, consistently advocated for the legalisation and normalisation of paedophilia.
https:'//'uncommongroundmedia.com/the-trojan-unicorn-qt-and-paedophilia-part-iii-dr-em/

Judith Butler 'high priestess of queer theory gibberish', defends incest and more generally the concept of "intergenerational sex" (adults have sex with children). Dr Em: "This is an example of how queer theorists sandwich advocacy for paedophilia or incest in between legitimate arguments for advancing gay and lesbian rights. This is done in order to legitimise the arguments for child sexual abuse and make them harder to fight."
