‘Last month, 33,333 properties across the U.S. faced foreclosure, a 181 percent jump from March 2021 and 29 percent pop from February, according to a report by foreclosure tracker Attom. The first quarter saw 78,271 properties with a foreclosure filing, a 39 percent from the previous quarter and 132 percent from last year.
Those figures represent the highest number of foreclosures since March 2020 when nearly 47,000 U.S. homes held foreclosure filings, said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of market intelligence for ATTOM.’https://strangesounds.org/2022/04/the-foreclosure-avalanche-has-started-181-surge-to-highest-levels-since-march-2020.html
‘Dr. Bryan Ardis, believes White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci knows that the toxic drug remdesivir is killing the people who receive it and is fine with it.
Dr. Ardis wasn’t done. He’s continued to look for the full truth about Covid. And just a few weeks ago, he called me. He said “I need to meet with you, in person.” We’d never met in person before, but he said it was urgent, and he didn’t want to send the information he had electronically. He said the information related to the origins of Covid-19: Where it came from, what it really is, and who is really responsible for it. He said that with the information he had, everything about Covid would come together: how they track it, how the CDC predicts “hotspots,” how people fall ill and die from it.’https://peoplesworldwar.com/dr-bryan-ardis-remdesivir-is-toxic-killing-people/
‘International demand for commercial ships is fueling the growth of the Chinese navy, according to a new report, which found that billions of dollars in foreign shipbuilding contracts could be being used by Beijing to fund new combat vessels.
The new report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a security-focused think tank, found that four major shipyards responsible for building Chinese naval vessels also raked in billions of dollars in foreign commercial investment and technology transfers every year.
“China’s opaque business ecosystem offers limited transparency into the flow of capital within its shipbuilding industry, but available evidence indicates that profits from foreign orders likely lower the costs of upgrading China’s navy,” the report said.
This is because of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) strategy of military-civil fusion (MCF), which aims to prioritize commercial, technological, and research endeavors which simultaneously serve civilian and military purposes.
With MCF in mind, China’s premier state-owned shipbuilders are able to use the profits from international contracts to hasten military projects, such as the CCP’s expanding fleet of aircraft carriers.
The report notes that one such company, state-owned China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), is the primary builder of Chinese naval vessels, and also develops weapons and other national security equipment for the regime.
According to the report, CSSC alone accounts for 21.5 percent of the world’s shipbuilding market, and the mammoth company controls more than 100 subsidiaries. The United States placed CSSC on an investment blacklist in 2020 but, as the numbers demonstrate, such has had little to no effect on international demand.
The example of CSSC highlight the important issue of China’s centrality to the global shipbuilding market. In 2020, China accounted for more than 40 percent of all merchant shipbuilding in the world. Second place went to South Korea with 31.5 percent, and third to Japan with 22.2 percent.
The rest of the world combined accounted for less than eight percent of all merchant shipbuilding.
Vitally, the report found that the same shipyards used to build the world’s merchant vessels were also being used to rocket China’s navy to global ascendency.
Four shipyards, Dalian, Jiangnan, Hudong-Zhonghua, and Huangpu Wenchong, received billions from foreign investors in recent years, where top firms from France and even Taiwan commissioned ships to be built in the same drydocks as China’s combat vessels.
Previously, a French ship was being built in the same drydock that is now constructing China’s newest and most advanced aircraft carrier. Recent satellite imaging, moreover, showed that a commercial container ship for Taiwan’s Evergreen Marine Corporation was being built in the next dock over.
The incident raises concerns that the Taiwanese shipping titan could be essentially funding China’s capacity to invade the self-governed island.
“It should raise more than a few eyebrows in Taipei that Taiwan’s premier shipping company is pouring money into the coffers of shipyards assembling warships for the Chinese navy,” the report said.
“Given CSSC’s lack of transparency and its central role in supporting the PLAN [People’s Liberation Army Navy], foreign companies should exercise more caution when engaging with it and other Chinese shipbuilders. For democracies, especially those in the region that must weather the brunt of China’s rising assertiveness, these ties are more than just worrying. They present a tangible threat to national security. ”
In all, CSIS found that Evergreen purchased 44 vessels from China from 2018-2022. Only two of those orders were built by shipyards that were not known to produce combat vessels for the Chinese navy.
Evergreen’s contracts with CSSC are just the tip of the iceberg, however.
The CSIS report found that from 2019 to 2021, the four aforementioned shipyards received 211 orders for commercial vessels, with some 64 percent of those orders originating from outside of China and Hong Kong.
As such, the report warned that global demand for commercial vessels was likely accelerating Chinese naval development by a significant margin at a time when the West is increasingly at odds with the communist regime over its global ambitions.
Nevertheless, the report said that there was a silver lining in the fact that the two other largest shipbuilders were South Korea and Japan, which CSIS described as “thriving democracies.” Both nations also enjoy favorable trade and security agreements with the United States.
As such, CSIS recommended that lawmakers in Washington seek to draw international shipbuilding contracts away from China and into the markets of more democratic societies in the Pacific.
“Policymakers in Washington should explore opportunities to incentivize foreign companies away from China and toward partnerships with South Korean and Japanese alternatives,” the report said.
“The shift will not be easy or immediate. Short-term capacity issues will arise. But in managing hard choices vis-à-vis China, especially those critical to national security, the United States should be prepared to steer the lead ship. “’https://www.theepochtimes.com/international-shipbuilding-contracts-fuel-chinese-navy-modernization-report_4397072.html?est=eBFJ5doDK8dDckunmwgx%2BtWt2FpLlFD1zeTDrC5b5YeHX9NJncBCWQzK%2FCyeWH%2FPdg%3D%3D
‘As reported earlier by Richard Abelson — Leading British Islam critic Tommy Robinson was detained in Mexico landing at Cancun Friday and threatened with deportation, Gateway Pundit reveals exclusively.
A customs officer detaining Tommy told him the detention was “for United States”.
When Tommy, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, asked the customs guard for the reason he was being detained, the office told him the orders were “confidential from Mexico City” and for reasons of “national security.”
Tommy has visited Cancun twice without any issues. Speaking to the officer, Tommy noted he had had not committed any crime in Mexico. “What I do in my home country is, I criticize Islam.”
“Ah, that was the reason”, the customs guard replied. Then the officer seemed to misspeak. “For United States… I can’t say the word, but for that reason Mexico do not allow you to enter.”
Later, Mexican border officials told Tommy possibly the UK government was behind it.
So is the failing Biden Regime telling other countries not to let in critics of Islam?
On Sunday Tommy Robinson returned back home to Britain. Upon arriving at the airport a British police officer roughed Tommy up in what he says was an attempt to provoke him.
Here is the copper roughing me up in the airport, no doubt in the hope he provoked me into a reaction so he could do me for a bullshit assault on a copper charge.
So I’m a national security threat in Mexico according to the British government, but could legally come back to the UK and system pigs had to try and bait me into a reaction so they could arrest me legitimately.
You failed you wankers.

Either this poll is wrong or those asked are just “stupid”. ‘As the Senate moves closer to confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black woman ever to serve on the Supreme Court, a new poll released Wednesday indicated she has widespread support from the public.
Two-thirds of Americans said that if they were senators they would vote to confirm Jackson, according to a Marquette Law School poll. Nearly half of the poll’s respondents described the appellate judge as “very qualified” to serve on the nation’s highest court.’https://www.aol.com/news/two-thirds-americans-back-judge-100218463.html
Before he took his nap ‘President Biden received his second COVID-19 booster dose at the White House on Wednesday, a day after the Food and Drug Administration authorized a fourth dose, or second booster shot, of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for adults age 50 and older and immunocompromised groups.
As had been the case with his previous doses, Biden, 79, received the shot on camera, part of the administration’s effort to promote vaccinations.
He declined to answer shouted questions from reporters about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s monthlong war in Ukraine.
“I’m feeling great,” Biden said as he received a booster for the Pfizer vaccine. “It didn’t hurt a bit.”‘https://www.aol.com/news/biden-receives-second-covid-19-175021595.html
