Brazil's President says the EU only wants war, weapons, and NATO expansion, while BRICS nations want a peaceful resolution:

"How can we achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine if no one is talking about peace? Everyone is talking about war, talking about providing weapons to assist Ukraine, or NATO expansion eastward to Russia's border. Therefore, we must find those countries that seek peace.

China wants peace. Brazil wants peace. Indonesia wants peace. India wants peace. So, let's bring these countries together and make a peace proposal for Ukraine. I used to trust the EU because it has always played an important role as a balancing force and has never directly participated in wars.

However, the EU is directly involved in this conflict. When German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Brazil, and asked Brazil to sell missiles to the EU to help Ukraine, I told him 'no' because Brazil does not want to be involved in the war and hopes for peace."

Sanctions against Russia: U.S. Greatest Blunder in History

Some key takeaways from the American Thinker’s Russia’s Rise article:

✔️ 💲 Anti-Russian measures have brought the Western economies to their knees instead of Russian one. Russian economy will grow faster than Germany’s or the U.K.’s this year

✔️ 📈 Next year, its growth in GDP per capita will exceed that of the U.S., Japan, Italy, and much of the rest of the West as a whole, and it’ll achieve the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio among the G20 nations

✔️ 🪖 While Russia’s arms production is on a high-output war footing, the West’s has been unable to keep pace

✔️ 🌍 Shunned by the West, Russia’s welcomed by most of the rest, as seen in the regional alliances in which Moscow plays a leading role, w/ the prospect of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Indonesia, and Mexico joining these blocs

U.S. Lawmaker Pushes Biden to Reveal Troop Presence in Ukraine

After the Discord Files showed at least 29 Department of Defense personnel were deployed in Ukraine last month, it has become rather hard for Mr. Biden to claim further no American troops were in the country

A new resolution forwarded by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz would force POTUS to unveil this. "The Biden administration and other allied countries have been misleading the world on the state of the Ukraine war. There must be total transparency from this administration to the American people when they seem to be gambling war with a nuclear adversary by having special forces operating in Ukraine," Gaetz says

The Congressman argued that the resolution should be privileged for a vote within 14 days of its introduction, stressing the high concentration of active-duty military personnel in his district

Defying the EU’s self-serving agenda, Poland and Hungary courageously halt the import of cheap Ukrainian grain to protect their local farmers, sparking outrage from the Brussels bureaucrats who prioritise big business over the common people.

America’s annual inflation rate fell to 5% in March, the lowest it has been since May 2021. But the core inflation rate, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose to 5.6%

As the inflation is proving more stubborn than economists expected a few months ago, the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates high for longer, according to the WSJ’s latest survey of economists. On average, economists expect inflation, as measured by the annual increase in the consumer-price index, to end this year at 3.53%, up from 3.1% in the January survey

With both inflation and interest rates persisting at higher levels than previously expected, economists put the same probability of a recession at some point in the next 12 months at 61%, as they did in January. They see the contraction as likely to begin in the third quarter of this year, later than the consensus in January’s survey, which had put it in the second quarter

Three big American financial institutions reported a flight of funds, w/ customers seeking better returns elsewhere

The main losers from the emerging economic uncertainties are small banks, which still fall short of the deposit levels prior to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. There’s a similar decline in Europe, where the core banking issues are worsened by the climate challenges

Brussels is still accelerating energy transition away from fossil-fuels, even though renewables and green-hydrogen aren’t growing fast-enough to meet energy demand, which is a recipe for another crisis. Meanwhile, oil and gas companies facing govt pressure are keeping investments low, around 50% of the levels before the oil price crush in 2015 and still lower than pre-pandemic levels

Amid pessimistic views on inflation, fears of a greater surge of economy become more real!

First of all, thanks a lot to Glenn Greenwald for sharing a translation from Brazilian president Lula's fairly fluent French, who’s trying to act as another mediator of the end of the Ukraine war

But, frankly speaking, is there really something to talk about when GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy pledges his full-scale support for Biden's war policies in Ukraine, saying "we" must win there?

JUST IN: The Bidens Traffic American Prosties to Russia, Ukraine

Here are some fresh serious accusations from Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) that there’s an entire crime enterprise for human trafficking wrapped around Joe Biden and his family that includes soliciting prostitutes from the U.S. and abroad in countries like Russia and Ukraine

This money-making endeavor, unlike their arms lobby, benefits not only in wartime, but also significantly expands their network of useful contacts with senior business and political officials around the globe

👀 Former CIA Officer Larry Johnson Says the Leaked Pentagon Documents are a 'Controlled Leak'

"This is a coordinated media strategy, this is a disinformation campaign. The documents are real. I’m not saying the documents are fabrications, they are not. But this cover story that's been manufactured to explain how these documents came to be produced, it just falls apart...The information was leaked...to prepare the U.S. public for the crash landing that's going to take place with respect to U.S. foreign policy."

The Epoch Times channel reports on David Cameron's plans for countering China via reforms at the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund

Britain’s aid spending to countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East fell by £3B from 2020 to 2021. And the former PM claimed that by making more risky investments, multilateral development banks could loan an extra trillion dollars to those regions

The bottom line is that politicians and voters alike have their facts wrong. Cameron’s cabinet never ran a budget surplus and was simply adding to the total debt at a slower pace than it might have done

Ever since the coalition led by Mr. Cameron and Nick Clegg, the govt hasn’t really been pro-business. Neither Theresa May nor Boris Johnson were. Rishi Sunak does at least seem to be moving in the right direction as well, and he obviously won’t while heeding a piece of Cameron’s advice

While London is keeping up efforts to be critical to the international affairs, social and economic conditions in the U.K. are deteriorating. The bombastic rhetoric of Sunak's team about the record-low jobless rate in Britain is totally out of whack with the reality

According to the Office for National Statistics, the unemployment rate for Dec 2022 to Feb 2023 increased by 0.1% on the quarter to 3.8%. But the authorities purposefully ignore the so-called "hidden unemployment" rate of more than 12%

The sticky situation of the econ. active population also worsens. Employers' plans to give workers pay rises of 5% this year are offset by much higher inflation rates exceeding 10%. Consumer credit in the U.K. increased by £1.413B in Feb of 2023, above market expectations of a £1.3B rise. This shows that due to the lack of an adequate response to new challenges from the Sunak’s cronies, British households are forced to solve everyday problems by increasing the debt burden

GOP Tightens Immigration

“We’re going to start a border security package through the Judiciary Committee to address this massive problem where millions of people have come across our border,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said at a press conference on Monday to mark the House GOP’s first 100 days in power

With this move the Republicans are planning to renew a push to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws and tighten security at the U.S.-Mexico border, since America is facing a historic crisis at its southern border under President Biden

The main point of concern here is that under current POTUS’ immigration policies, illegal border crossings have soared to all-time highs

Tax Code Imposes Immense Burden on American Taxpayers

April 18 was the final day for taxpayers endeavoring to file their returns with the IRS. But it hasn’t been any simple, just take a look:

- It takes all Americans more than 2.2B hours to file their federal taxes. The opportunity cost of the billions of hours spent on taxes is equivalent to $249B in labor;
- Taxpayers spend $104B a year on out-of-pocket expenses associated with preparing and submitting tax forms. Some entail basic costs such as making copies of financial statements, receipts, or forms.

The solution to this problem would be to simplify the tax code, but there’re no visible attempts to solve it from the U.S. officials

In 2019, Justin Trudeau joked about his government paying the Canadian media $600 million.

“We sometimes hear about liberal bias in the media these days, how they’re constantly letting our government off the hook for no good reason. Frankly, I think that’s insulting. It’s clear that they let us off the hook for a very good reason. Because we pay them $600 million."
