A vague general question: These tornadoes are very expensive for insurance companies. Is there a connection between the insurance companies and the weather workers?
Hi Catherine i thought of you immediately when the news of the Kentucky tornado popped up. Since then there has been another tornado through the mid west. Obviously they are going to blame this on climate emergency, but I am beginning to really think that this is a contrived plan to wipe out the rest of the middle class as places like mayfield will not be able to rebuild candle factory or town for that matter (population 10000 average income 60K). Also the entire town was flattened with a FNB federal reserve bank in the town. As did Waukesha. I thought it strange all the out of character things about the tornados in both the Kentucky and now the most current mid west string. Such as they are hitting at night, staying on ground longer and travelling greater distances with higher hurricane velocity winds. I can only tell you of my experience with a tornado coming from Alberta Canada and remember july 31st 1987 Vividly F4- F5. Heat and humid air mixing wit cold dry air along with a jet stream are needed. even in the movie twister the occurrence of night time tornados is almost never heard of. Wiki(I know but its a weather search no big deal with accuracy) says average Kentucky temperature between Fall and January is 2-7 degrees. What is the likelihood that this is the method in which they are going to down size the small banks to consolidate and centralize the Fed? heat domes, extreme flooding, polar vortex, earthquakes, volcanos erupting for months, dams in china bursting…seem like mother nature is really pissed at us or could it all be intentional?
RE: minute 58:00 where CAF talks @ Britain proposing to “make car ownership illegal.”
I had to giggle. Sounds to me less like something political and more like something rational… Such as the British hierarchy throwing in the towel in realizing that, try as they may, the country still cannot create a quality vehicle for the life of itself. So maybe they’re doing the public a favor by saying…. don’t buy British vehicles…. save yourself the headache. Many years ago while working at a Ford dealership in Los Angeles, I would hear the Ford mechanics joke that the Brits drank warm beer not because they liked it but because their refrigerators are probably made by Moss Electric Co. Moss Electric was the company that made the electrical systems in the Britain manufactured & historically unreliable MG’s and Jensen Healey’s, and electrical systems always failed due to Moss Electric being an extremely unreliable product. That’s was the running joke of why the British drink warm beer… it’s Moss Electric Co refrigerators. LOL! So if the Brits now want to outlaw driving cars, they’re doing their public a favor if they specifically outlaw British-manufactured cars. :)~ Commend them for their rationality.
Cartsens looking Mexican John? He looks like the Pillsbury doughboy and he clearly has no Aztec blood in his body. Agustin Guillermo Cartsens-Cartsens is a Mexican national yes, but he is Jewish, its not a coincidence while in the Chicago school days he married a Jewish woman. The man has an interesting background that goes beyond just the Mexican passport he owns, I encourage people to look into him.
I bought a house in Ohio in 2008. A third party title search was done and I was offered an owner’s title insurance policy, which is a required offer in Ohio for residential real estate transactions. I’ve never heard of a bank doing its own title searches, and I’ve closed many millions of dollars of real estate transactions going back to the 1980s. It is the bank more than the homeowner who suffers from defects in title, because the bank is usually financing a greater portion of the purchase price and has only the house as security for the loan. As for good or bad title, if the buyer purchases title insurance, the title insurance company (regulated by the state) stands by the title and a claim can be made if it’s defective. I have a hard time believing that this general system isn’t in place in a majority of other states, too. There are ways one can be defrauded in real estate transactions, particularly for newly-built properties (which involve cross- liens on all the properties in a development), but I don’t think banks not getting assurances of good title is one of them. Not legal advice — just my opinion.
Luis, I found that his parents’ names are Paulina and Guillermo, and also this amusing blog.

Hahaha, this was awesome Nancy, thank you for sharing.
1. Simulation of a cyberattack on markets. A cyberattack could shut down all markets, banks, and methods of transactions for months. To rescue starving people a new world digital currency will allow people to exchange their old currency for the new and buy food.
2. I have been told that all banks stopped doing legal title insurance searches around 2004. Banks are required by law to hire a third-party title insurance company to verify the title. But banks stopped paying for the service, did it themselves(maybe), and still charged the title search fees to escrow. Therefore, any person who bought a house after 2004 does not have legal title to the house.
3. The covid mandates are a smash and grab mentality. Either it is an act of desperation or they are certain that the 2022 elections will never happen.
We in Romania, are stuck at 4th wave while the rest of Europe is at 5th wave and preparing for 6th wave.
It looks like we need at least 50% vaccination rate to advance to 5th wave. But the problem is that people do not trust the government or the doctors. While we pay 10% from salary as ‘health tax”, we get nothing for it. If somebody is sick it has to pay almost everything; legal or as a bribe to doctors.
Also doctors had 3x salary increase few months before COVID.
As to the MSM and others learning from the past, this is from http://mailstar.net/death-of-stalin.html

In the last year of the trials, 1938, there died or disappeared almost all the eighty members of the Council of War constituted four years before to assist the Commissar of Defence. Marshals and Generals, Admirals and Vice-Admirals were sentenced to death, as were thousands of other officers of all ranks. In that single year, there were more than 30,000 victims of the purge in the ‘Red’ Army and Navy. In his ‘Secret’ speech Krushchev stated that ‘5,000 of Russia’s best officers were murdered during the blood-baths that followed the secret trial for treason of Marshal Tukhachevsky.’ There perished, too, Assistant Commissars of Foreign Affairs, as well as ambassadors, plenipotentiaries, and consul-generals. Almost the entire staffs of Pravda and Izvestia disappeared, together with hundreds of authors, critics, directors of theatres and actors and actresses, as step by step Stalin methodically passed from the Party to the Armed Forces, from the diplomatic corps to the secret police, from industry to agriculture and commerce, and from commerce to the arts.
