Secret societies: Harmless members-only clubs or dire threats to democracy?
A curious feature of our modern times is the number of secret societies operating in our midst, setting the global agenda behind closed doors
“The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings.”
- John F. Kennedy, April 27, 1961
Long before the fiction writer Dan Brown arrived on the literary scene with his stories of esoterica, people have been intrigued with the idea of secret societies working in the shadows, carrying out evil plots against them. On this score, it would be hard to beat the Freemasons.

The energy major resolved a row that blocked gas transit to Italy through Austria
Supplies of Russian gas to Italy through Austria resumed on Wednesday, Russia’s energy giant Gazprom said in a statement posted on its Telegram channel. The enforced suspension occurred during the weekend over the application of new regulations.
The company added that it managed to find a solution with Italian buyers to restart gas sales amid legal changes in Austria, which forced Gazprom to stop deliveries on Saturday.
EU still poised to explore ‘diplomatic solution’ to Ukraine conflict
At the same time, the bloc looks forward to launching its own “training mission” for Ukrainian troops
The EU is still ready to seek a “diplomatic solution” to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the bloc’s top diplomat Josep Borell has said. A return to diplomacy, however, would only be possible should “circumstances” allow for this to occur in an unspecified “meaningful” way, he stipulated, in a blog post on Wednesday.

Russians should receive more information about what is actually happening at the frontlines of Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine, insists Andrey Kartapolov, Chairman of the State Duma (lower house of parliament) Defense Committee.

Taiwan vows to respond to China’s military flight incursions
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan’s defense minister on Wednesday said the island will respond to incursions into its airspace by Chinese warplanes and drones, but gave no details on specific actions.
Responding to questions from legislators, Chiu Kuo-cheng said China’s newly aggressive stance had changed what Taiwan would define as a “first strike” that would necessitate a response.
China Orders CRACKDOWN – Over 1 Million People Arrested!
(ConservativeInsider.org) – In a democracy, the power of a government to rule over the country comes directly from the people. However, in a dictatorship, the power comes from within the government and is often kept by strict rules and quickly squashing dissent. Right now, people can see an example of this harsh-handedness in China, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) arrested nearly 1.5 million people who it accused of criminal activity.
White House says 'it's clear' Saudi-led OPEC is 'aligning' with Putin after it ignored Biden's pleas and cut oil production by TWO MILLION barrels a day: Gas prices set to soar again in 'total disaster' for President
The White House said on Wednesday that 'it's clear' the OPEC+ oil alliance 'is aligning with Russia' after it announced a massive production cut of two million barrels.
It stands to be a big boost for Moscow, despite the West's efforts to choke off oil and gas revenues as a source of cashflow to fund Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Meanwhile American drivers could face another increase in gas prices in what could end up being a massive setback for the Biden administration.
Biden Blasts "Short-Sighted" OPEC+ Cut, Blames US Energy Firms For Surging Pump Prices
Rystad Energy AS analyst Louise Dickson was on Bloomberg TV earlier today and explained a much tighter oil market is ahead following the announcement of OPEC+ cuts.
"We're now steering down into a much tighter oil market for the remainder of 4Q 2022, in particular December 2022, where we could see a split from a surplus to draws," Dickson said.
He also pointed out:
"OPEC+ could in fact sort of unintentionally spur a bit of a supercycle in pricing and this is a bit of a precarious situation to put the market into".
So is brent headed back over $100 a barrel?
We Remain on Crash Warning
We began September on Crash Watch but ended the month on Crash Warning. Though much has changed since October began, the warning remains until further notice.
If you missed last week's post with the "upgrade" from Watch to Warning, here's the link. That article also includes links to all four posts we've written since April regarding the dangers inherent to a crash in the stonk market.
With The Globalists 'Full Spectrum Warfare' Upon Humanity Cranked Up To The Nuclear Level, They Have The Perfect Weapon To Continue Wreaking Havoc And Deadly Carnage Undetected
- Taking A Look At The History Of Weather Warfare That Dates Back Many Decades
While to most Americans, talking about 'weather warfare' in their vicinity will draw looks of bewilderment and responses, if any, such as 'you crazy conspiracy theorist,' we'll prove within this story that not only does 'weather warfare' exist but it's being used upon the American people now.
Reported upon hesitatingly by wikipedia whose editors made sure to slap an 'opinion' note on the 'weather warfare' entry, as the entry nevertheless correctly pointed out, "Weather warfare is the use of weather modification techniques such as cloud seeding for military purposes."
Mortgage Application Pace Plunges To 25-Year Low As Housing Recession Deepens

BREAKING: EXPOSED: $105 million Liberal partnership with WEF laid bare
Conservative MP and two-time leadership contender Leslyn Lewis uncovered the admission in an Order Paper question signed by Transportation Minister Omar Alghabra.
In the response, Transport Canada admitted the WEF is one of several partners for the federal government’s Known Traveler Digital Identity (KTDI) Project, which will cost $105.3 million over five years.
“It’s no longer a conspiracy theory – it’s a contractual fact,” Lewis wrote on Twitter.

If you felt pressure to “get vaccinated” and now regret it, don’t feel bad.
If you never saw the need to get “vaccinated,” or if you, like myself, felt an overwhelming sense that you would never get vaccinated no matter what new incentive or high-pressure tactic the globalist predators rolled out, then congratulate yourself.
Eric Metaxas: 'Silence' of American churches echoes 1930s Nazi Germany
'We are going down precisely the same path'
About 3,000 of the approximately 18,000 Protestant pastors in Germany in the 1930s openly supported Adolf Hitler, and about the same number ended up opposing his tyrannical rule.
But it was the vast majority of ministers, about 12,000, who chose to remain silent – arguing it wasn't their place to engage in politics – who enabled the Nazis to "crush the heroic 3,000" who stood up against the dictator, points out Eric Metaxas in his new book "Letter to the American Church."
Disney’s ‘Little Demon’, Which Normalizes Satanism and Pedophilia, Canceled in US
Just when you thought Disney had hit rock bottom, the company announced it was producing FX’s show “Little Demon”, about a woman impregnated by Satan and her antichrist daughter.

Disturbing Proof the WEF and UN Are Quietly Deleting the Internet
During a World Economic Forum (WEF) panel last week, a United Nations representative announced that they “own the science,” in reference to their “climate information” partnership with Google.
Didn’t anyone tell you? They OWN the science. They OWN the narrative. Anyone who disagrees with their narrative is spouting “Disinformation” and must be punished. Now they admit they are “partnering” with Big Tech to ensure you get the information that they want you to see or approve of you seeing.
New York judge says the time has arrived to “Legalize Polygamy”
A funny thing happened to the Democrats’ same-sex marriage bill on its trip from the House to the Senate: People actually started reading the legislation. When they did, an uncomfortable reality set in—nothing in the text explicitly outlawed polygamy.
It was just a “drafting error,” the more liberal senators claimed. But it wasn’t a “drafting error” when a New York judge recognized polyamory late last month. How much longer until the party who wants “love” to be the legal basis for every relationship follows suit?
Propaganda is business as usual for the federal government. Before the incessant vaccine media cheerleading, there was the Army's "be all you can be" advertising, and the government paying off the NFL to conduct patriotic displays before the game. This, from a federal government that refuses to adequately staff and police its southern border.
We do not elect congresspersons to "lead" us. We elect them to represent us and there's a difference. Keep that in mind when you go to the polls this November.
Months ago, the Biden administration announced it would begin releasing oil from the strategic reserve in order to bring prices down. It worked. My guess is that they're still doing it. My further guess is that they will cease doing it the day after election day... what a coincidence! A double whammy, on top of what the Saudi's just did!
