G. Edward Griffin Explains Money Creation After Biden’s Chief Economist Is Baffled By How Money Works

Jared Bernstein is a longtime economic aide to President Biden and chairs the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said that the US cannot go bankrupt because we can print our own money. He failed to explain why the US government chooses to borrow money when it prints the money. He was completely baffled by the time he finished trying to explain it. He said, “I guess I’m just, I can’t really, I don’t get it. I don’t know what they’re talking about.”

G. Edward Griffin, author of the book, The Creature from Jekyll Island, A Second Look at the Federal Reserve was asked for his explanation. He replied as follows:

“The federal government and the taxpayers are the borrowers, while the Federal Reserve (the consortium of commercial banks that own and operate the Federal Reserve) creates the money that is loaned. The money does not exist prior to the loan. It is true that governments could create their own money and, thereby, avoid paying interest on it as they now do, but it also is true that those same governments, over time, have become subservient to the Federal Reserve, and it would be political suicide today for politicians to seriously try to cut the banks off of interest payments on money they do not even have. It’s a scam, of course, but devious enough that most people, including Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Biden, do not understand it – and it is so outrageous that, if they did understand it, they likely would not believe it.”

Your Herbs and Spices Might Contain Arsenic, Cadmium, and Lead

Consumer Reports tested 126 products from McCormick, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and other popular brands. Almost a third had heavy metal levels high enough to raise health concerns. There is no safe level of lead to have in the bloodstream and the effects of lead add up over time. Lead exposure has been linked to brain damage and developmental delays in children. All of the brands of oregano were determined to be of “some concern”. The Simply Organic brand appeared to be the cleanest of those tested.

In a separate article from Consumer Reports, the researchers found dangerous heavy metals in dark chocolate from Hershey’s, Theo, Trader Joe’s, and other popular brands. Ghirardelli is popular brand that was listed as a safer choice.

For two herbs, thyme and oregano, all the products we tested had levels that CR experts say are concerning.

In 31 products, levels of lead were so high that they exceeded the maximum amount anyone should have in a day, according to CR’s experts.

Also troubling: There was no single predictor of which products contained higher levels of heavy metals—for example, brand name didn’t matter, and neither did “organic” or “packed in USA” claims.

Frequent exposure to even small amounts of lead, arsenic, cadmium, and other heavy metals is dangerous, in part because it’s difficult for the human body to break them down or excrete them. And over time, exposure to those heavy metals can harm health. In children, it can affect brain development, increasing the risk for behavioral problems and lower IQ. In adults, it can contribute to central nervous system problems, reproductive problems, and hypertension, and can damage kidney and immune function.

Colorado Shoots Down “Assault-weapons” Ban — for Now

Colorado state Senator Julie Gonzales pulled her bill for a full ban on “assault weapons” one day before the legislative session ended saying that more conversations were needed. Assemblyman Tim Hernandez, who sponsored a similar bill last year that failed in committee, was more direct. When asked why the bill had to be shelved, he said simply that “folks aren’t ready. That’s what it boils down to.” Anti-gun politicians infest the once-red state of Colorado and they ignore the US Constitution, the Colorado State Constitution, history, common sense, facts, and the Bruen ruling from the Supreme Court in 2022, all of which would ultimately negate their efforts. They remain driven and although the present battle has been won, the war continues.

State Declares Public Health Emergency After Tuberculosis Outbreak: 1 Dead, 170 Exposed

A public health emergency has been declared in Long Beach, California, due to a tuberculosis outbreak. One person has died, nine people have been hospitalized, and 170 people were reported to be exposed. All cases have been linked to a single-room-occupancy hotel that has not been identified. Critics have suggested that the subject hotel is used to house illegal aliens. Long Beach officials reported that the population at risk in this outbreak has significant barriers to care, including homelessness and housing insecurity, mental illness, substance use and serious medical comorbidities.

Live Science said that the microbe that causes tuberculosis can be dormant in a person, without any symptoms. Between 5 percent and 10 percent of the people with the bacteria develop TB.
