Saule Omovaro, Biden's pick for Comptroller of the currency was born in the West Kazakhstan Region of the Soviet Union (now Kazakhstan). She got her Bachelors at Moscow State University. Her ties to Russia don't end their.

She is a Senior Berggruen Fellow at the Berggruen Institute. Check this out - https://thebl.com/us-news/scandalous-the-chinese-communist-party-will-even-control-bidens-national-security-team.html

Saule has openly advocated for:

• Central planning of monetary policy and the elimination of private banks.
• Policy which leads to bankruptcy of the USA oil & gas industry. (Which obviously benefits Russia.)
• Forcing radical leftist policies onto private corporation boards.

Biden is a puppet of the Radical Left that seeks to destruct America's fundamental foundational vision and values and "build back" America under a new, so called "better," One World Order Globalist vision.

The global elite who meet secretly to plot ways to take control and reset this nation want a central-control model under which all our faith is given to government.

National Sovereignty is surrendered. God is subordinated and those who don't bow down are villafied.

Under the stated future plans of the Global One World Order, individuals will "rent" rather than "own." Private property is increasingly either eliminated or controlled by central planners. Luxury and private wealth are centralized as well - they are the rewards for the elite at the top of party and their loyalist. Propagandists in the media are thrown enough bones to buy their pens. Through the media, academics and celebrities who are all paid handsomely with the notoriety their ego needs and the lifestyle perks their hearts desire, the true power players possess all the cultural tools they need to control the minds of we the sheep.

Individual Liberty is lost. To achieve this plan to the fullest requires an economic collapse. The "Great Recession" was just a taste of what is too come. The next time the Central Banks bail out the economy they will take over and retain the means to control enterprise. Capitalism will be dead. Entrepreneurs will have to operate under the authority of the State.

Key to their plans is the money supply and controlling how we "buy or sell." That is why the appointment of Saule Omovaro is such an important appointment. That is why she so closely fits their requirements.

Check out the following articles about Saule.

6 Takeaways From Hearing for Biden’s Controversial Pick for Currency Chief

Who is Saule Omarova, Biden’s pick for a key banking post?

Black Swan Potential
Saule Omovaro, Biden's nomination for Comptroller,  worries about private currencies. Trump voiced similar concerns.

Omarova says she favors a central bank digital currency (CBDC) over privately issued stablecoins because it’s issued by the government and will ensure access for everyone.

“The one potential advantage of CBDC over privately issued stablecoins is that it will be issued subject to statutory mandate legal decisions made by democratically elected lawmakers,” Omarova told the committee reviewing her nomination.

“So that will allow the central bank under the oversight of congress to ensure everyone has fair access to new forms of money,” she added.

Governments and Central Banks around the world, not just in the USA, could take a collective stance against private crypto currencies in favor of government issued digital currencies.  If markets perceive this as a possibility threat to the future of private crypto his could trigger a sell off in those currencies.  That could snowball into a panic.  If this were to happen, the amount of wealth that would be wiped out would be staggering. This would surely spill over into equity markets and economy.  

THE SIN OF THE FIRST MURDER

Genesis 4:9  Then Adonai said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” 

“I don’t know,” he said. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

The reasons that Hillary Clinton, the DNC and Deep State bad actors could pull off the greatest political coup in USA history still exist. What's worse is that so many Americans and media are alright with that.

WHAT IS AMERICA ANYMORE? WHO ARE WE? BECAUSE WE ARE NO LONGER "OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER."

THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM

WHO IS "SHE" IN PROVERBS 9? 

In order to answer this question, first I would like to explain a word that appears toward the end of Proverbs chapter 9 -- the word fear. 

The Hebrew words יִרְאַ֣ת (yir'aṯ) and פחד (p̄aḥaḏ) are most commonly used to describe fear of Yahweh / God.

In some Bible verses the English word "fear" is a translation of the Hebrew noun פחד (pahhad), meaning "shaking," or as verb meaning "to shake."

In other uses of the word "fear" it is derived from the noun יראה yirah and the verb yarah. 

The verb ירה (yara) means to throw, cast or shoot. The literal concrete meaning of yara is a "flowing of the gut," which can be applied to "fear" or "reverence."

PROVERBS 9.10: "THE FEAR OF ADONAI IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE IS UNDERSTANDING."

In Proverbs 9.10 it is written יהוה יראת yirat Yahweh. (Fear God). Yirat is a feminine use of yirah, the noun for fear. 

Now, with these points about the feminine use of the word fear in mind, revist Proverbs 9 from the beginning. 

1 Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars.

2 She has slaughtered her meat, she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table.

3 She has sent out her servant girls. She calls from the city’s heights:

4 “Whoever is naïve, turn in here!” To those who lack understanding, she says:

5 “Come, eat my bread and drink the wine I have mixed.

6 Abandon your foolish ways and live! Walk in the way of understanding.”

7 Whoever corrects a scoffer is asking for insult. Whoever reproves a wicked man gets abuse.

8 Do not correct a scoffer or he will hate you. Rebuke a wise man and he will love you.

9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still. Teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning.

10 The fear of Adonai is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

11 For through me your days will be many and years will be added to your life.

12 If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage, but if you scoff, you bear it alone.

13 The foolish woman is rowdy. She is naïve and knows nothing.

14 So she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the heights of the city,

15 calling to those who pass by, who go straight on their way:

16 “Whoever is naïve, let him turn in here.” To those who lack understanding, she says:

17 “Stolen water is sweet and bread eaten in secret is delicious!”

18 But he does not know that the dead are there— her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

Now you can answer my opening question. Who is "SHE" in Proverbs 9? "SHE" is the fear of Yahweh personified. SHE IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM!!

Therefore, it is fair to say that fear of the Lord is a healthy thing.  It is one way to put the Bible in context. Let's apply this context to Proverbs 1. 

PROVERBS 1:20-33

20 Wisdom calls aloud in the streets, she raises her voice in public squares.

21 She cries out above the commotion. At the entrances of the city gates, she utters her speech:

22 “How long will you naïve ones love simplicity you scoffers delight in scoffing, and you fools hate knowledge?

23 You are repulsed at my rebuke. Behold, I pour out my heart to you. I will make my words known to you.

24 Because you refused when I called, and did not pay attention when I stretched out my hand,

25 since you ignore all my advice and would not accept my rebuke,

26 I in turn will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when dread comes on you,

27 when your terror comes like a storm and your calamity sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when trouble and distress overwhelm you!

28 Then they will cry out to me, but I will not answer! They will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.

29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of Adonai,

30 they would not accept my counsel, they spurned all my reproof,

31 so they will eat the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own schemes.

32 For the backsliding of the naïve will kill them and the complacency of fools will destroy them.

33 But whoever pays attention to me will live securely, and be free from the fear of evil.”

Beholding great sights are known to fill humans with both wonder and fear. 

"And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses." Exodus 14.31

"So terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am quaking with fear." Hebrews 12.21

Waking Up to 30+ Year Old Nightmare

 Over 30 years ago I imagined a scary future.  Call it a dream, a fantasy, a nightmare or whatever.  I am sharing it now because it looks to me like it could be actually happening.

BASELESS HATE

 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”  Mishlei

The famous rabbi, Talmudic genius and prodigy, Rabbi Menachem Ziemba (1883–1943) (Hebrew: מנחם זמבה‎) who was gunned down by the Germans in the Warsaw Ghetto during Passover, wrote that there was no logical explanation for Anti-Semitism.  He explains further in this video:

https://youtu.be/Gj7XmL4LZwI

If Rabbi Menachem, one of the greatest Jewish minds in history who experienced the Holocaust first hand, says there is no logical explanation for Anti-Semitism, then why should we think we can explain it?  Where should we turn for a true understanding?

Furthermore, if the explanation given for the Holocaust is Anti-Semitism, but there is no logical explanation for Anti-Semitism, then how can it be a logical explanation of the Holocaust?

I believe an explanation does exist.  As strange as it may seem, the explanation starts with a strange story In the Gemara (the rabbinical analysis of and commentary on the Mishnah the Oral Torah).

Believe it or not, it is based on a story about a dinner party. This is used to teach about Tisha be’Av (9th day of the month of Av). If one follows through, there are further teachings regarding this banquet which lead to the discovery of an entirely new way to understand the Holocaust and Anti-Semitism through the millennium.

I am of course referring to the story of “Kamtza and Bar Kamtza."  Reference for more on "Kamtza and Bar Kamtza” https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/72848

To understand the Holocaust one must look at the event in the greater context of Tisha B’Av. The Holocaust is one horrific happening in a sequence of other great tragedies befalling the Jewish people going back thousands of years.  All these events in history are connected. They all occurred on the biblical Tisha B’Av. 

• 586 B.C.E. The First Temple, Solomon's Temple was destroyed on the 9th Av by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar. (Many Jews were subsequently forcibly exiled to Babylon).
• 70 C.E. Tisha b'Av (9th of Av) five hundred years later, the 2nd Temple in ancient Jerusalem was destroyed on the same date by the Romans.
• 135 C.E on the 9th Av during the time of the Jewish revolt against Roman rule, soldiers led by Rabbi Simon bar Kochba were massacred in their final battle at Betar. (Proportionately this was more Jews than were killed during the Holocaust.)
• 1096, 9th of Av the Crusades began during which 1.2 million Jews were killed.
• 1290 A.D. 9th Av England expelled the Jews.
• 1306 A.D. France expelled the Jews.
• 1492 The Golden Age of Spain came to a close when Queen Isabella and her husband Ferdinand ordered that the Jews be banished from Spain. The edict of expulsion was signed on the 31st March and the Jews were given exactly four months to put their affairs in order and leave. The Hebrew date of their leaving was to be the 9th of Av!  (That was the date the Columbus was planned to leave Spain backed by a wealthy Jew. Columbus postponed his trip by one day to avoid bad luck!)
• 1670 A.D the Jews were forced out of Vienna Austria.
• 1881 A.D. 22 the Russian Pogroms started.
• 1914 Tisha B'Av marked the declaration of war by Germany on Russia, the two major powers from the two opposing alliances which fought in WWI. Many historians view WWI as one of the major causes of Hitler’s rise to power and the Second World War. In a very real sense, WWI was a direct progenitor of WWII and the Holocaust.
• 1942 On the 9th of Av, Heinrich Himmler presented the Nazi “Final Solution” to wipe out all Jews in Europe.  In 1942, on this same day, the Nazis began to deport all Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to extermination camps.

[There are other tragic events on Tisha B’Av that I have not listed above.]

What is the likelihood of so many terrible events in the history of the Jewish people being associated to one date, Tisha B’Av? There is no logical explanation!  And as Rabbi Menachem wrote as an observer and victim of the Holocaust, there is no logical explanation for Anti-Semitism.

 “Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbors yourself. I am the Lord."  Leviticus 19:17-18

My understanding is the fundamental reason for all of this is what Rashi describes as "Baseless Hate."  I am talking about hate taken into the heart and nurtured into a grudge. Hate which becomes toxic and leads us to sin. 

Baseless hate, as I understand it from my studies, is not your ordinary hate. It is difficult to explain the distinction in the space of this article. I will simply say that it is an unjustified level of hate which is based on "things" that one has severely over-amplified.  I will describe it as an illogical level of hate. 

Hate leads us to covet, lie and steal. Baseless hate leads people to bear fall witness.  Hate leads to idolatry and adultery, to murder and the denial of God. 

Hate is the force which climbs up and down the Ten Commandments.   

Jonah Ritter

But here is the profound twist. The haters in the Rabbi's lessons are Jews, not gentiles!  In other words, the Rabbis say the destruction of the Temple is the result of hate in the heart of Jews, not gentiles. 

God's "chosen people" are a light to Nations. But the Torah is filled with times when Jews disobeyed God and lost faith. Throughout the Torah the Hebrews face near destruction, but for the Covenant and the intercession of Moses, we may have been.

We live in a time that seems to be filled with Baseless Hate.  I see my fellow Jews justifying "baseless hate."  To anyone who believes that history repeats or at least rhymes, I ask a prophetic question. If all this is so, and Tish B’Av is historic as well biblical, then what's to say there will not be another Tisha B'Av? 

Tisha B'Av is the reason that Jewish Identity is a very long story of PTSD.

Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief of Counsel for the United States, for International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, said the following in his opening statement:

"The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated."

“A person’s tongue is more powerful than his sword. A sword can kill someone who is nearby; a tongue can cause the death of someone who is far away.” Gemara

“Just as the learning of Torah equals all other mitzvas combined, so does speaking loshon hora equal all sins combined.”  The Yerushalmi

Proverbs 6:16-19

Six things Adonai hates,

yes, seven are abominations to Him:

haughty eyes,

a lying tongue,

hands that shed innocent blood,

a heart that plots wicked schemes,

feet that run to evil,

a false witness who spouts lies,

and one who stirs up strife among brothers

I will leave it there . . . but I assure you that God will not. 

Epilogue: 

8.14.23 - Here is an excellent teaching I heard recently about Tisha B’Av.

Epilogue:

Rabbi Menachem Ziemba was a prominent rabbinic figure in Warsaw, known for his scholarly contributions and leadership during the Holocaust. In the 1930s, he was a vocal and influential figure within the Jewish community in Poland. One of his notable addresses took place during a gathering of Agudat Yisrael in the 1930s, where he emphasized the need for resilience and adherence to Jewish law even in the face of growing anti-Semitic threats.Unfortunately, specific transcripts of Rabbi Ziemba’s speeches from the 1930s are not readily available online. His later activities, especially his leadership and resistance during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, are well-documented. Rabbi Ziemba's calls for armed resistance against the Nazis marked a significant departure from traditional passive suffering and highlighted a new form of Kiddush Hashem (sanctification of God's name), advocating for the sanctification of life and the importance of fighting back against oppression.

Matthew 5:21-22 --

21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 

22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.

Total Vehicle Sales: Electric - ~290k Gasoline - ~16M

CO2 benefits of EV's:

The electricity that supplies the energy for electric vehicles is generated by burning fossil fuels, including 30% with coal. In many other countries, such as China, the percentage of electricity from coal plants is much higher.

The average electric car uses kWh 0.346kWh per mile. The average kWh of electricity generated by power plants produces 0.85 lbs of CO2. The average gasoline vehicle gets 25.4 miles per US gallon which works out 0.0408 gallons per mile. Every gallon of gasoline burned creates about 8,887 grams of CO2 which works out to 363 grams (.8 lbs) CO2 per mile. Average CO2 Produced Per Mile (Energy used): Electric - .85 lbs Gasoline - .8 lbs

Energy Costs* Per Mile:

Electric - 4.33 cents per mile

Gasoline - 0.13872 cents per mile

*Figures based on 12.5 cents per kWh and $3.40 per gallon.

Dependency: Electric - Lithium (for batteries) supplied 80% by China Gasoline - Gasoline supplied by the USA Taxpayer Subsidies: Electric - $7500-$12,500 Gasoline - $0

Energy Distribution Requirements: Electric - new charging stations nationwide and massive improvement to our Electric grid. Gasoline - existing gas stations

Vehicle Cost - Average Vehicle Selling Price:

Electric - $51k Gasoline - $42k

Selection:

Wider selection of new and used vehicles to choose from. Gas handsdown.

Per Mile energy cost:

Gas advantage. Plus electricity costs are going to rise significantly in coming years!

Range on a charge versus a tank.

Gas advantage

Time to Refill verse Recharge:

Gas advantage

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

With electric vehicles there is an environmental hazard with dead batteries. EV batteries are larger and heavier than those in regular cars and are made up of several hundred individual lithium-ion cells, all of which need dismantling. They contain hazardous materials, and have an inconvenient tendency to explode if disassembled incorrectly. Gas vehicles have lead batteries that are easily recycled.

Economically viable electric vehicle lithium-ion battery recycling is rapidly and increasingly needed. But it is very unclear that there is an economical and viable solution. This may substantially increase the end-of-life disposal cost of EV's. This cost is not factored into the comparison, but it could be quit a sizeable disadvantage for EV's in the near future.

One more thing, and its a big thing! You know all that lithium that we are going to need to power the vast number of EV's. Well guess who is the WORLD'S largest miner of lithium? CHINA. And those mines are an environmental nightmare. So we go from depending on OPEC to "energy independence" to relying on China for lithium. UGH!!

BOTTOM LINE:

At this time the only reason an EV stands a chance in competing with gas power vehicles is because of large taxpayers subsidies. Someone has to cover the cost of those EV tax breaks!

There is the benefit of "virtue signaling." Driving an EV shows the world around you that you care about climate change and that makes you a "better person." Really??

CONCLUSION:

Buy an electronic vehicle because you prefer the way it drives, not because you are saving the planet.

There are many more cost effective ways to save energy and reduce greenhouse gases than buying an EV, at least at this point in time. Given all the advantages that Gas vehicles have presently, the choice is pretty clear.

By the same token, the future is not far off, maybe the span of one car lease, when the status of EV'S will be far better. Sunny days are ahead. Check it out.

EV MYTHS - EVs should not be seen as some sort of panacea for dealing with climate change.
