This Order could pave the way for Democrats holding onto power in 2024. In fact, they could control America indefinitely. A former advisor to the CIA and Pentagon believes this order could allow for legal government surveillance of all US citizens; total control over your bank accounts and purchases; and the ability to silence all dissenting voices for good.

It’s the Tuesday you can take your country back. Back from the clutches of the leftist, woke, and economically illiterate Democrats… …and into the hands of a Republican House and Senate who’ll freeze Biden’s idiotic plans and, perhaps, even impeach the senile old fool for crimes against common sense. I wouldn’t put too much stock into it, but maybe it’ll pull us back from the brink of a war that neither side can lose. Good morning from a chilly, gas-starved Europe. Some days I marvel at Jim Rickards’s ability to call the macro picture. But what I’m genuinely proud of is that we’ve been calling the same things here in the Rude. In this edition, I will go over things we’ve mentioned, along with the links to the entire pieces in which we mentioned them. Then - I promise - we’re going to get optimistic. Let’s get started. [Banning Keystone XL]( I thought Joke Biden was a moron in 1990. He didn’t waste a day of his presidency trying to prove me wrong. Here’s a brief reminder, courtesy of the [Associated Press]( Construction on the long-disputed Keystone XL oil pipeline halted Wednesday as incoming U.S. President Joe Biden revoked its permit on his first day in office. The 1,700-mile (2,735-kilometer) pipeline was planned to carry roughly 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. “The Permit is hereby revoked,” Biden’s executive order says. “Leaving the Keystone XL pipeline permit in place would not be consistent with my Administration’s economic and climate imperatives.” Think we could use those 800,000 barrels a day right now? And we’d also be paying our staunch ally, the Canadians, for it, instead of begging dictators worldwide to increase their production. The only comfort I get is that this move deprived El Fidelito del Norte of precious revenues to imprison his population further. Well, at least it kept America pipeline-free! Oh, wait… [SJN] Credit: [theodora.com]( About a year later, the war in Ukraine happened. [Why We Prefer Sanctions to War]( Usually, when mass murderers die, their murder stops. Not so with Woodrow Wilson. Wilson is one of the chief architects of the current sanctions regime. That sanctions cause immeasurable harm to civilian populations is loathsome in and of itself. That they never From a government’s point of view, you can understand their appeal. First, there are only two ways to pay for war: increasing taxes and printing money. In democracies like the United States, how many wars do you think Americans would vote to engage in if they had to pay for it directly? That’s right: zero. So, printing money it is. Incidentally, this was one of the unsung great attributes of the gold standard. Once you ran out of gold, the war was over: win, lose, or draw. You couldn’t print your way to more supplies, munitions, and victory. [Sanctions: Awful on Paper, Worse in Practice]( [SJN] Back to Wilson. This man ran on an antiwar ticket only to enter the US into World War I a mere five months after his re-election. And you thought only modern politicians lie like rugs! Like a White Castle-induced fart, Wilson described his sanctions as “peaceful, silent, and deadly.” Wilson packaged sanctions as a peaceful alternative to spilling blood over a grievance, as with his sleight-of-hand with the war. Except sanctions are entirely civilian affairs. War didn’t use to be like that. Civilians were largely left out of it. And trading with the enemy was not only standard; it was seen as a way to compensate civilians who were wrongly harmed. The late antiwar activist [Justin Raimondo wrote in a post]( in 1998: The concept of economic sanctions as a weapon also assumes international economic regulations and enforcement agencies, setting up a cadre of bureaucrats who sit in judgment of "outlaw nations": in effect, the apparatus of world economic planners. And contrary to Wilson's predictions, real war has often followed the use of sanctions. [Attention!

[SJN] Credit: [intellinews.com]( The upshot is this: America and Europe aren’t the only markets for Russian oil and gas. Honestly, if I were Putin, I would tell Germany, “Fine. You’ve made yourselves clear. Let’s never pump any gas through NordStream 2.” My goodness was that a prescient statement! I think Chancellor Cellophane would poop himself. (He has. Definitely.) [SJN] [The US Wants to Import Oil From Venezuela and Iran]( It’s ok. Reread that headline. I had to, myself. In fact, the joke Idiot Colbert cracked before telling Americans it was their duty to fatten ExxonMobil’s profit was this: “We’re going to buy our gas from the good guys… Saudi Arabia.” Watch the clip [here]( if you can stomach it. Nevertheless, there was a grain of truth to what he said. But like many comedians, I suppose he confused Arabs with Persians. According to the [Journal]( and many other sources, Joke Biden is courting the Venezuelans and the Iranians to make up for the shortfall in Russian oil. Why? As a candidate, Mr. Biden pledged to make a pariah out of Saudi Arabia over human rights abuses and the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. And because of that, the [Saudis aren’t even taking Biden’s phone calls](. He’s painted himself into a corner, much like his Fed chief. So instead of ramping up US and Canadian production and (wink, wink) opening up the Keystone XL, he’s decided to engage the US’s sworn enemies. It makes sense to him, I’m sure. The idiocy of the policy is plain to the rest of us. [The Washington Presstitutes Made Talking Impossible]( The DC Press Corps kneecapped Donald Trump at every turn. Every time he tried to engage Putin, it was a disaster because the press lied about the Steele Dossier. Jim explains it perfectly: The way they played this for years. It paralyzed Trump, because if Trump had even picked up the phone and called Putin or made a trip to Moscow, it would have been seen that this proves our point that Trump's in Putin’s pocket. Trump's a puppet on a string. Putin's the puppet master. That was the allegation. None of it was true, but it was made to appear true. But it paralyzed Trump. It made it impossible for Trump to build bridges or negotiate with Putin because he was always going to be accused of being in Putin’s pocket, which he wasn't, but that was the accusation. But ask yourself this: would you rather be at the poker table with Russia at your side against China or sitting alone dealing with those two against you? Wrap Up Ok, the bad news is we don’t have pipelines, refineries, Russian oil, OPEC+ oil, or much natural gas for this coming winter. And this will make the inflation we’re experiencing now feel like child’s play in the near future. But here’s the good news. (I promised you there would be optimism at the end!) [Jim has a way of weathering this coming storm and thriving during it.]( Let me give you a quick example. Remember back in 2001, when 9/11 happened, and we thought it was the end of the world? The easy call was defense stocks. That was the way to protect yourself from insane government spending. America was going to war and needed to stock up. And in the 5,325 trading days since then, here are the results of that strategy: [sjn] Northrop Gruman: up 2,069.14% Lockheed Martin: up 2,042.12% General Dynamics: up 901.70% Boeing: up 475.75% The Dow Jones Aerospace/Defense Index is up 647.30%.
