Good evening and welcome to the Worldview Report. I’m your host, Brannon Howse.

We lead off tonight with bad news in the automotive industry, which has for years been focusing on one thing, developing and churning out electric vehicles.

But now there are growing signs that these vehicles are not economically feasible to produce.

Multinational automaker Stellantis is indefinitely closing an assembly plant in Illinois in February and laying off hundreds of workers, in large part due to the high cost of making electric vehicles.

According to Fox Business, Stellantis noted in a statement emailed to FOX Business on Friday that the industry had been adversely affected by factors including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the global microchip shortage and the increasing cost related to the electrification of the automotive market, which it said was the most impactful.

The automaker said that a number of actions had been taken to stabilize production and improve efficiency at its North American facilities to "preserve affordability and customer satisfaction in terms of quality."

However, while considering other avenues to optimize operations, Stellantis said the decision had been made to idle the Belvedere plant starting on Feb. 28, 2023.

German data analyst Tom Lausen held a press conference on December 12th in the Bundestag to discuss the massive rise in the number of people who died “suddenly and unexpectedly” after the Covid vaccine rollout in Germany.

Only one mainstream journalist was present during the press conference.

The National Association for Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, or NASHIP, provided coded data covering over 72 million insured Germans.

NASHIP is the coordinating body of all 17 state health insurance physicians in Germany. As of 2018, it represented about 175,000 office-based physicians and psychotherapists.

As stated during the press conference, the government agency responsible for assessing the risks of vaccination apparently did not inquire about this data.

According to the German news outlet Alternative for Germany:

“Patient data from the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV) on the side effects of corona vaccinations provide frightening insights: With the start of mass corona vaccinations, the number of people who died ‘suddenly and unexpectedly’ skyrocketed compared to previous years, more than fourfold. In every quarter, starting with the first quarter of 2021, more sudden and unexpected deaths were identified by panel doctors than in every year from 2016 to 2020 as a whole.”

So, there you have it. More data from a country known for keeping exquisite records, and we see that the number of people who died suddenly with no prior symptoms grew by a factor of four after the rollout of the Covid injections. But just like in the U.S. and other countries, the government agency responsible for regulating and overseeing medical treatments ignores the data and the media has no interest in bringing attention to it. This is a pattern that points to a global conspiracy.

One elected leader in the U.S. who wants to pry the Covid vaccine data out of the hands of bureaucrats and technocrats is Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida.

DeSantis announced on December 13 he will launch a petition to empanel a statewide grand jury and subpoena the records showing the safety and efficacy of the Covid jabs.

DeSantis said, “We anticipate we will get approval for that, most likely in the Tampa Bay area and that will come with legal processes that we’ll be able to get more information and to bring legal accountability for those who committed misconduct.”

Take a look.

In a video going viral on social media, an unidentified woman picks up packages labeled “cuy” as she remarks that New York City is now tackling its rat infestation problem by packaging and selling them to the public.

Is this a harbinger of things to come as America and the world becomes drunk with the delusion of the climate change religion, which preaches an absurd brand of “sustainability” while paying farmers not to farm their land, and forcing them to use less productive farming techniques like reducing nitrogen fertilizers?

Take a look at this video.

China sent a record 18 nuclear-capable bombers into Taiwan's air defense zone, Taipei said on Tuesday, December13, just days after Beijing banned more Taiwanese imports in the latest sign of deteriorating ties, reports Channel News Asia.

Taiwan lives under the constant threat of invasion by China, which sees the self-ruled island as part of its territory to be seized at a time of its choosing.

Beijing has ramped up military, diplomatic and economic pressure since the 2016 election of Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, who rejects the Chinese position that the island is part of China.

In a daily update on Tuesday morning, Taiwan's defense ministry said 21 aircraft entered the island's southwest air defense identification zone over the previous 24 hours, including 18 nuclear-capable H-6 bombers.

That represents by far the largest daily sortie by H-6 bombers since Taiwan first began releasing daily incursion data in September 2020, according to a database maintained by the French news outlet AFP.

The latest wave came after China slapped fresh import bans on Taiwanese food, beverages, alcohol and fishery products last week, prompting Premier Su Tseng-chang to accuse Beijing of violating international trade rules and "discriminating" against the island.

The H-6 is China's main long-distance bomber and is able to carry nuclear payloads.

It is rare for China to send more than five H-6 bombers in one day. But sorties have increased dramatically in recent weeks.

Until recently, October 2021 was the month with the largest number of H-6 flights on record at 16.

But last month China sent 21 of the bombers into Taiwan's ADIZ. And the current tally for December stands at 23.

Pope Francis has offered a dire vision of the future, saying he has seen signs of an even darker time ahead for humanity.

At a mass Sunday at the Vatican, the 85-year-old pontiff said he has a dark vision for the world with “omens of even greater destruction and desolation,” according to an article in the Daily Mail.

The mass was commemorating the feast of Our Lady Guadalupe, which fell on Monday. It commemorates the appearance of the Virgin Mary to a young man, Juan Diego, in 1531 in Mexico City. The day is a national holiday in Mexico.

But despite the current difficult times – including wars, particularly Russia's conflict in Ukraine, the rising cost of living, poverty, famine, and an international energy crisis – the Pope said he sees much worse things ahead as we head into a new year, 2023.

In his homily, the pontiff said “it is a bitter time, filled with the rumbling of war, growing injustice, famine, poverty and suffering,” but at this “bleak and disconcerting time, there are omens of even greater destruction and desolation.”

According to a recent report by the Associated Press, the civil trial of Alex Jones was all just a show and is likely to be tossed out on appeal since the case rests on dubious legal grounds.

Attorney Tre Lovell told the AP on Sunday, December 11, that Jones has “significant issues” he can present on appeal, including the fact Jones was defaulted by the courts before the Texas and Connecticut trials even began.

Lovell told the AP:

“This is far from over. First of all, he’s going to appeal, according to his attorneys, and there are some significant issues on appeal. This is a very unusual trial. The court basically put him in default and they went straight to damages. And that’s very unusual.”

Infowars.com, which is Jones’s main news site, reports that Lovell explained the courts could have taken a number of steps before resorting to defaulting Jones.

“And that’s a very draconian ruling by a court; that’s a ruling that’s the last choice a court will have. And a court of appeal is going to really scrutinize that,” he said. “A judge is required to, if a litigant is not participating in discovery or is violating, you know, the litigation standards…there’s a number of things that a judge can do before actually putting in default.”

“And also with damages, you know, they can look at damages,” he continued, adding: “You know, the damages award needs to be supported by the evidence. And now, although jurors have a lot of room with what we call noneconomic damages, which are damages for emotional distress, reputation, to turn to one’s profession in a defamation case. Still, a court is going to look at that. And so, the appellate side is very rich here.”

The Biden administration gave Ukraine the “green light” to conduct drone strikes inside Russia because Vladimir Putin has yet to use nuclear weapons on the battlefield or attack any neighboring NATO nations, according to a report from The Times of London.

SHOW REPORT From The Times: "Pentagon gives Ukraine green light for drone strikes inside Russia":

The Pentagon has given a tacit endorsement of Ukraine’s long-range attacks on targets inside Russia after Putin’s multiple missile strikes against Kiev’s critical infrastructure.

“We’re still using the same escalatory calculations but the fear of escalation has changed since the beginning. It’s different now. This is because the calculus of war has changed as a result of the suffering and brutality the Ukrainians are being subjected to by the Russians.”

Washington is now less concerned that new long-range strikes inside Russia could lead to a dramatic escalation. Moscow’s revenge attacks have to date all involved conventional missile strikes against civilian targets. Previously, the Pentagon was more wary of Ukraine attacking Russia because it feared the Kremlin would retaliate either with tactical nuclear weapons or by targeting neighboring NATO nations.

However, Washington does not want to be seen publicly giving the green light to Kiev attacking Russian soil. Its position on Ukraine’s attacks inside Russia was defined this week by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who said: “We have neither encouraged nor enabled the Ukrainians to strike inside of Russia.”

However, a U.S. defense source said: “We’re not saying to Kiev, ‘Don’t strike the Russians [in Russia or Crimea]’. We can’t tell them what to do. It’s up to them how they use their weapons. But when they use the weapons we have supplied, the only thing we insist on is that the Ukrainian military conform to the international laws of war and to the Geneva conventions.”

Putin responded to the news by threatening to use nuclear weapons.

Billionaire investor, author, former Marine and Vietnam veteran Robert Kiyosaki says the markets are going down and warns we are heading into depression and then revolution.

One of his most popular books is “Rich Dad Poor Dad” which he markets as an educational tool on the way to achieve financial freedom. Kiyosaki is known for speaking bluntly about the true value of money and finances, things he says they don’t teach in any American schools and haven’t for a long time.

Here he is describing his philosophy in a recent video.

Yet another voice there warning about the U.S. economy and the U.S. dollar getting ready to implode on the near horizon. And the social implications of that cannot be over-estimated; that’s why Kiyosaki is forecasting not only an economic depression but a revolution.

The new IRS rule on Venmo, PayPal and other cash app payments threatens to sweep up millions of Americans.

There are reports the IRS will be tightening its grip on Americans who use these apps in 2023. The agency, which the late Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch of Utah referred to as “the most feared federal agency in the country,” has warned small business owners and independent contractors about the need to pay taxes on income exceeding $600. 

The announcement puts millions of Americans on notice — failure to report income received through payment systems such as Venmo, PayPal or Cash App could initiate audits and fines. 

The IRS notes that employers must report business transactions to the IRS if they exceed $600 for the year. The new regulations replace the current policy that requires employers to send 1099-K forms if an employee or client receives an annual income exceeding $20,000 or if more than 200 transactions were made within a calendar year.

Nancy Dollar, a tax lawyer at Hanson Bridgett, told FOX Business: “I think it will come as a shock out of nowhere that people are getting these.”

Changes in IRS regulations follow the passage of the Democrat-pushed American Rescue Plan and the Biden administration’s plan to expand the IRS by adding $80 million to its budget and increasing its staff by 87,000.

In our Worldview Report commentary tonight, we look at the facts on the ground in China. Whereas a couple of weeks ago we saw protests raging in cities throughout that communist country, now it seems to have fallen off the radar of the mainstream media. Why is that?

In China, the people have revolted demanding not just an end to lockdowns but to totalitarian rule.

Sam Faddis, in a new article for And Magazine, exposes the corrupt Western corporate media, which did their best to pretend that this was not happening. They found, however, that erasing all evidence of the mass uprising was difficult, even for them. 

So, they adopted a new tactic, Faddis writes, adding:

“Pretend the Chinese Communist Party had backed down. Act like the people had won. Get everyone to go back to their video games and lose interest. This lie has been dutifully peddled for at least two weeks now. The CCP lost. Everyone can feel good. No reason to continue to pay attention.”

None of this is true, as you can see from this video. Chinese police thugs haul this woman away as she screams and tried futilely to resist.

The CCP hasn’t meaningfully changed course on anything. What it has done is buy itself some breathing room in which to systematically hunt down and eliminate the leaders of the “white paper” revolution. When it is done, and the network has been erased, the pressure will resume and the lockdowns will return.

Miles Guo said in a video posted to Twitter that more than 25,000 Chinese protesters have already been arrested and they are hunting down the rest.

Take a look.

But in the Western corporate media we hear that “A variety of Chinese COVID-related restrictions have been lifted. People can move more freely. Testing is no longer required on the scale it was before.”

Faddis is right when he points out that “None of this is permanent. The Chinese government retains the ability to reverse course at a moment’s notice.”

Meanwhile, the security apparatus is exercising its capabilities, finding those who organized the protests and tracking all efforts to sustain the disturbances. A heightened police presence deters individuals from continuing disturbances. Text messages are monitored, and travel history is scrutinized.

This is the Chinese social scoring system in play. The same system that the big banks in league with Big Tech and the Biden administration want to unleash on Americans.

That does it for this edition of the Worldview Report. Thanks for tuning in and, as always, we hope you will help us continue to bring you this listener-supported broadcast. There are two ways you can do that…

Until next time, this is Brannon Howse wishing you a Merry Christmas from everyone at the Worldview Report team. Take care.
