In conjunction with the record-challenging cold that is set to surge southward across the central and western United States, another potentially record-setting snowstorm is set to target millions of Americans in the coming days. This time, the dose of wintry precipitation will target areas much farther south, including some that typically don’t pick up snow until much later in the season.
With this storm coming on the heels of recent winterlike weather that shattered a 115-year-old snowfall record in the Twin Cities, residents across the Plains and Upper Midwest may check their calendars twice to make sure it’s still October.
AccuWeather meteorologists expect the next storm to be one of the most disruptive so far this season for the western and central United States over the coming days. It is projected to bring record-challenging cold and snow, howling winds and even the threat of severe thunderstorms to areas farther east.

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned Friday that Beijing will not shy away from conflict, soon after President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger former Vice President Joe Biden sought to convince Americans they would both stand up to China over the next four years.
Xi made the remarks in a speech in Beijing marking the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, in which China intervened on behalf of North Korea and fought against America, South Korean and assorted United Nations forces.
Xi—who in recent years has centralized power, dissolved term limits and become the most influential Chinese leader since Mao Zedong—said in a fiercely nationalistic address at the Great Hall of the People that China is ready for conflict and that global efforts to contain Beijing would fail.

By LISA REIN AND ERIC YODER | The Washington Post | Published: October 22, 2020
President Donald Trump has fired his biggest broadside yet this week against a federal bureaucracy he has moved to remake with an executive order that would remove job security from an estimated tens of thousands of civil servants.
The directive, issued late Wednesday, strips long-held civil service protections from employees whose work involves policymaking, allowing them to be dismissed with little cause or recourse, much like the political appointees who come and go with each administration.
Federal scientists, attorneys, regulators, public health experts and many others in senior roles would lose rights to due process and in some cases, union representation, at agencies across the government. The White House declined to say how many jobs would be swept into a class of employees with fewer civil service rights, but civil service experts and union leaders estimated anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands in a workforce of 2.1 million.
It would be a profound reimagining of the career workforce, but one that may end up as a statement of purpose rather than anything else. The order fast-tracks a process that gives agencies until Jan. 19 to review potentially affected jobs. That’s a day before the next presidential inauguration.

Yet , upon examining not only these biosafety incidents at Fort Detrick , but the 2001 Anthrax attacks and the current Covid-19 outbreak , another odd commonality stands out — high-level war games exercise took place in June 2001 that eerily predicted not only the Anthrax attacks , but also the initial government narrative of those attacks and much , much more .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dark Winter , ” also predicted many aspects of government pandemic response that would later re-emerge in last October ’ s simulation “ Event 201 , ” which predicted a global pandemic caused by a novel Coronavirus just months before the Covid-19 outbreak .

Whitney Web draws from broad sources and follows many strands seeking connections and patterns. In a recent article at Unz Review she discusses Dark Winter. (This is a dark conspiracy tale.)
Yet, upon examining not only these biosafety incidents at Fort Detrick, but the 2001 Anthrax attacks and the current Covid-19 outbreak, another odd commonality stands out — high-level war games exercise took place in June 2001 that eerily predicted not only the Anthrax attacks, but also the initial government narrative of those attacks and much, much more.
That June 2001 exercise, known as “Dark Winter,” also predicted many aspects of government pandemic response that would later re-emerge in last October’s simulation “Event 201,” which predicted a global pandemic caused by a novel Coronavirus just months before the Covid-19 outbreak. In addition, the U.S. government would lead its own multi-part series of pandemic simulations, called “Crimson Contagion,” that would also predict aspects of the Covid-19 outbreak and government response.
Upon further investigation, key leaders of both Event 201 and Crimson Contagion, not only have deep and longstanding ties to U.S. Intelligence and the U.S. Department of Defense, they were all previously involved in that same June 2001 exercise, Dark Winter. Some of these same individuals would also play a role in the FBI’s “sabotaged” investigation into the subsequent Anthrax attacks and are now handling major aspects of the U.S. government’s response to the Covid-19 crisis. One of those individuals, Robert Kadlec, was recently put in charge of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) entire Covid-19 response efforts, despite the fact that he was recently and directly responsible for actions that needlessly infected Americans with Covid-19.

Octavio Marenzi is CEO of Opimas. While the economy continues to go down hill, stock markets and real estate have been going gangbusters. The flood of money has created winners and losers. Income that was previously spent on travel is going into savings and other purchases. The Chinese travel market has stopped further hitting the international tourist market. People are being more cautious in spending their money. Used car sales have been on the rise. A lot the bankruptcies that we have seen are companies that were struggling badly even before Covid. Look at JCPenny – when is the last time they made a profit – a really meager gain in 2017, but other than that huge losses back as far as the eye can see. Finally folded in May 2020. This is more of an act of mercy than anything else. Ascena is another example, the parent of Ann Taylor and Dressbarn. These are all brands that had been struggling.

Introduction:
This post will focus on breaking down the differences between 3 of the largest clean energy ETFs, QCLN, ICLN, and PBW. The focus will be exclusively on these ETFs and not single stocks. Now is an excellent time to invest in clean energy, According to several sources, renewables are set to represent ¾ of the $12T the world invests in new power technology through 2040.

Takeaway/Final Thoughts:
Clean energy has a very bright future but the industry is still emerging. For this reason, market risk and price volatility may be higher than the broader market, and ETFs may be more favorable compared to individual stocks.

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-24--Now It’s Offensive to Work Hard

Now It’s Offensive to Work Hard

Are you ready for this week ’ s absurdity ?
Here ’ s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty , risks to your prosperity… and on occasion , inspiring poetic justice .
Puerto Rico has two centers which field 911 emergency calls for the island .
This week , BOTH of those call centers were shut down because employees tested positive for COVID .
The government instead instructed residents of Puerto Rico to call an alternative 10 digit number if they need emergency assistance .
Puerto Rico is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government… but seriously , this was the best solution they could think of ?
They couldn ’ t find replacement workers , a temporary facility , or simply reroute 911 calls to the emergency number they now advise calling ?
That ’ s the COVID craze for you– if shutting down 911 saves just one life , it ’ s worth it .
Surely there won ’ t be any unintended consequences from SHUTTING OFF THE EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER DRILLED INTO OUR HEADS SINCE CHILDHOOD !
Click here to read the full story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end of corruption in the country .
But one of his allies must not have received the memo .
Police raided a Brazillian Senator ’ s home over evidence that he diverted Coronavirus response funds from the government to criminal enterprises .
Some of that money allegedly ended up in the Senator ’ s pocket– or more accurately , his butt .
During the raid the Senator was caught hiding over 30,000 reais ( over $ 5,000 ) in his underpants , between his butt cheeks .

Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.
Puerto Rico Shuts Down 911 Over COVID
Puerto Rico has two centers which field 911 emergency calls for the island.
This week, BOTH of those call centers were shut down because employees tested positive for COVID.
The government instead instructed residents of Puerto Rico to call an alternative 10 digit number if they need emergency assistance.
Puerto Rico is not known for having the most efficient government… but seriously, this was the best solution they could think of? They couldn’t find replacement workers, a temporary facility, or simply reroute 911 calls to the emergency number they now advise calling?
That’s the COVID craze for you– if shutting down 911 saves just one life, it’s worth it.
Surely there won’t be any unintended consequences from SHUTTING OFF THE EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER DRILLED INTO OUR HEADS SINCE CHILDHOOD!

Coronavirus Funds End Up in Brazilian Senator’s Butt
The President of Brazil recently celebrated the end of corruption in the country.
But one of his allies must not have received the memo.
Police raided a Brazillian Senator’s home over evidence that he diverted Coronavirus response funds from the government to criminal enterprises.
Some of that money allegedly ended up in the Senator’s pocket– or more accurately, his butt.
During the raid the Senator was caught hiding over 30,000 reais (over $5,000) in his underpants, between his butt cheeks.

Facebook Fights Fake News: An Obviously Satirical Newspaper
The Babylon Bee is a gem of a satirical news website, with headlines such as, “Nation Longs For More Civilized Age When Politicians Settled Disputes With Pistols,” and “To Improve Next Debate Both Candidates’ Mics Will Be Muted The Entire Time.”
Last week we talked about how the Twitter mob– and dictionary– decided the phrase “sexual preference” was offensive after Amy Coney Barrett used it during her Supreme Court Senate hearings.
Commenting on this Senate witch hunt to find something wrong with the judge, The Babylon Bee ran a headline that said, “Senator Hirono Demands ACB [Amy Coney Barret] Be Weighed Against A Duck To See If She Is A Witch.”
It’s a reference to a joke from the 1970s film The Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
But Facebook said it was incitement to violence, insinuating the article could make people want to burn witches…
Facebook demonetized The Babylon Bee until it edits the article.
But The Babylon Bee has refused to edit the satirical article.
Looks like the fake news is speaking a little too much truth for Facebook.

Now It’s Offensive to Work Hard
This summer the tax-funded KIPP Charter Schools decided to retire the slogan “Work hard. Be nice,” because it “supports the illusion of meritocracy.”
KIPP leadership thinks it is wrong to tell kids that hard work is all it will take to be successful, because there is something else standing in their way.
“Working hard and being nice is not going to dismantle systemic racism,” reads the KIPP website, explaining the decision to nix the old motto.
The new religion of wokeness preaches that everyone is a helpless victim. No amount of hard work will get you ahead.
KIPP hasn’t released a new slogan yet but maybe they’ll try, “Seize the means of production. Execute the Bourgeoisie.”

San Diego School District Abolishes Grades to ‘Combat Racism’
Students in San Diego schools will no longer have to do homework, turn in assignments, or take tests, because none of it will count toward a grade anyway.
Instead teachers will decide if a student has mastered the material.

Twitter Mob Angry that a white Israeli actress will play a Macedonian Greek
The Twitter mob erupted over the decision to cast a white Israeli to play Cleopatra in an upcoming film.
The mob says the movie is white-washing history since clearly the Egyptian princess should be played by a Black actress, right?
Well actually, Cleopatra was of Macedonian Greek heritage. And she ruled Egypt before the Arab conquest.
So that means Cleopatra was neither Arab nor Black. But why should facts get in the way of wokeness? Once again, ignorance prevails!

Deutsche Bank , the second most prominent bank in Europe , the greatest bank in Germany , one of the ten largest banks by assets in the whole world and , evidently , the leading authority for derivatives trading , is caught up in a huge chaos .
The International Monetary Fund was the first to warn about it being the biggest net contributor to systemic risks for the global financial system , undoubtedly , the bank ’ s situation is decisive for the world ’ s economy .
The banking system simply can not allow Deutsche Bank to fall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the whole financial system with it , creating a destructive domino effect that will result in a catastrophic economic collapse .
However , recent developments don ’ t seem favorable for its reputation .
In fact , many now believe that the end is near for the bank , and its downfall may be closer than imagined .
That ’ s why today , we decided to expose the many layers of Deutsche Bank ’ s inevitable decay and how its meltdown will likely resonate in our already severely disrupted economy .
So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t forget to give this video a thumbs up , share it with friends , and subscribe to our channel to keep updated with future videos .
When it comes to banking issues a simple rule can be applied : The louder some authority shouts on the media reassuring everything is just fine , surely , the bigger the trouble really is .

Just by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at all , we can already ascertain that there ’ s something much more dangerous hiding behind the covers .
And by the end of this video , you ’ ll understand that ’ s the case .

Falling share prices is a major red flag for a company , especially when the company is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It could be an alert sign for many looming problems , but the most visible one is that a stock market crash is right on the horizon .

The Lancet, provides The latest (October 17th) issue, of the leading medical journal,, provides the most detailed analyses and ratings ever, of the healthcare that is provided in each of 204 countries .

That is the only scientific way to measure the quality of a nation’s healthcare.
Here, in order, are the top 113 countries, those that score above 54, on a scale where the top score is 96 and the bottom score is 22 — which latter country (not shown here) is Central African Republic, which rated 1 or 0, totally lacking, on a number of categories. These 113 countries are listed according to their total score. So, any country that isn’t listed here can reasonably be considered to have very poor quality medical care:
SCORE: COUNTRY (and rank)
96: Japan — world’s best medical care
95: Iceland — world’s second-best medical care
94: Norway — world’s third-best medical care
93: San Marino, Switzerland

To find the fields of strength and of weakness in the healthcare that is provided in each country, see the tables that are presented on pages 11-16 of the pdf of the article , which pages also show the detailed ratings of each of the 204 nations’ medical care. However, that article provides no rankings, but only scores. The rankings that are shown in the present article are derived from the scores in that article, but are not shown in that article. That article presents the countries only in alphabetical order: it provides no rank-order of them. For example: the United States was one of the four countries that were ranked lower than 28 countries, such that the next lower-ranked country, after those four, Israel, ranked as being #33; and, therefore, the U.S. ranked somewhere among #s 29 and 32 among the 204 nations, or, roughly, as being ranked as number 30 or 31.
