It is now Tuesday November 15, one week after Election Day, and the House race has still not been decided: It certainly appears the Republicans will recapture the House. But the main thing here is that it has been nearly a week and things are still undecided. The only state I remember taking a longContinue reading “Why Does it Take So Long to Learn the Results of Our Elections Nowadays?“

More on the Midterm Results
Now that it’s the day after the picture is a bit clearer: A few more thoughts on things: If your state doesn’t have mandatory voter ID Laws in place, your election results are called into question. One other way of looking at the election is in this light: If you’re married, you are voting Republican.Continue reading “More on the Midterm Results”
The Red Wave Was a Dud
It’s about 12:30am EST right now and I’m about to go to bed, but here are the highlights of election night 2022 as I see them:
ABC News: The Midterms Will Be a Repeat of 2020
Trust the experts: In other words, don’t expect the results of this election to be finalized tonight. Always in the battleground states only, too. Notice that? In 2020, Florida had its votes counted by like 9:30-10pm EST. Georgia, its friendly neighbor to the north and a state with a smaller population (and only one timeContinue reading “ABC News: The Midterms Will Be a Repeat of 2020”
UK Prime Minister Liz Truss Ousted After Just 44 Days
So much for this: Incredible. Sometimes I wonder about if America had the same style of government as the British Parliamentary system. How long do you think Joe Biden would last in a system like this? He’d be ousted already, without a doubt.
The Tesla Collapse is When Things Will Really Get out of Control
Tesla, like all the major indices, like bitcoin, and like so many individual stocks, is on the brink of collapse right now: It is sitting on major multi year support (the horizontal line), and a drop below would mean a free fall down to around 140-160. We’re already talking about a stock that’s down moreContinue reading “The Tesla Collapse is When Things Will Really Get out of Control“
Everyone is Starting to Backtrack on the “No Recession” Narrative
The biggest lie since… 2021, when they said inflation would be “transitory.” Nonetheless, there are receipts: This is the kind of Financial Advice™ you get from the Licensed Financial Professionals™, the TV Talking Heads and the Prestigious, Accredited Economists. You know, the people who are always telling you to buy, buy, buy because they’re theContinue reading “Everyone is Starting to Backtrack on the “No Recession” Narrative”
Inflation Comes in Hot for September, Investors Don’t Care
Inflation was 8.2% year over year, beating expectations of 8.1%. And of course that’s only the official number. The unofficial number is over 16% Stocks plummeted at the open today, but surprise, surprise, have been rallying hard throughout the morning: The compulsion to buy the dip still persists, with the S&P 500 up over 1.5%Continue reading “Inflation Comes in Hot for September, Investors Don’t Care”
Hedge Fund Manager David Einhorn: Of course the politicians don’t Know what a recession is; They don’t even know what a woman is
Based: That’s a great point. In other news, the Bank of England has told UK pension funds that they have three days to sell… everything? But I’m sure it’s nothing. Just buy the dip, right?
The Myth that Everyone is Too Bearish on the Stock Market
Does this look like bearish behavior to you? Nasdaq plunges at the open by 1.6%, rallies higher because dip-buyers flood in, believing they’re getting “bargains.” Same story with the S&P 500. I wish I would’ve taken screenshots on these Finviz daily charts over the past few weeks (really, months) to show you that this isContinue reading “The Myth that Everyone is Too Bearish on the Stock Market”
Russia is Actually Trying to Win the War in Ukraine Now
Dr. Fly provides his take on the latest in the Ukraine war: We are seeing a profound escalation in the war today, with Russian assets targeting Ukrainian infrastructure, something, if you recall, is part and parcel of the first days of any U.S. prosecuted war. When we do it, it was shock and awe. WhenContinue reading “Russia is Actually Trying to Win the War in Ukraine Now”
How Do You Even Make Sense of Markets Right Now?
Not long ago, major US banks finally started to come to their senses and admit what most honest market observers knew all along: there is not going to be a soft landing, we are going into recession: They finally realize that the Fed is panicking with its rate hikes. There is no other way toContinue reading “How Do You Even Make Sense of Markets Right Now?”
There it is: Russia Will Halt Gas Flows to Europe Until Sanctions Are Lifted
As winter approaches, Russia has formally deployed their ace in the hole: Via Reuters, European gas prices shot up over 30% overnight: LONDON/OSLO, Sept 5 (Reuters) – European gas prices rocketed as much as 30% higher on Monday after Russia said one of its main gas supply pipelines to Europe would stay shut indefinitely, stokingContinue reading “There it is: Russia Will Halt Gas Flows to Europe Until Sanctions Are Lifted”
The Moment it Became Clear Twitter is Mostly Bots
Look at the replies to this tweet. All either literal bots or real people programmed by the media to the point where they are indistinguishable from bots: The correct answer to the question originally posed is an emphatic, “Neither.” We really can’t do better than those two? But honestly: how can you scroll through thoseContinue reading “The Moment it Became Clear Twitter is Mostly Bots”
Biden Randomly Decided to Try to Incite a Civil War Tonight
I have no idea why he did this, nor did I watch because college football is on. And apparently most of the major news outlets didn’t carry it, either. But for some reason, Biden decided to give the most outward and obviously fascistic speech in US history: He just woke up and decided to startContinue reading “Biden Randomly Decided to Try to Incite a Civil War Tonight”
ESG Policies Will Be the West’s Great Leap Forward
For those who are unfamiliar with China’s Great Leap Forward from the early 1960s, it was essentially where the Communists forced the industrialization of an agrarian economy, and it resulted in one of the worst famines in history: From 1960–1962, an estimated thirty million people died of starvation in China, more than any other singleContinue reading “ESG Policies Will Be the West’s Great Leap Forward”
Ukraine was a trap, and the US fell for it
US officials have been out-foxed by the Russians and Chinese: Russia and China must’ve known that the US would be unable to resist funneling money, munitions, bombs, equipment and–while of course “unofficially”–actual soldiers into Ukraine. The US is known for this type of thing. Russia dealt with the US propping up the Syrian rebels toContinue reading “Ukraine was a trap, and the US fell for it”
“NO RECESSION HERE!!” – Introducing Buy Now, Pay Later for UberEats
The government shills and permabulls are insisting there’s no recession anywhere in sight. Aggressively stupid, wholly disconnected with reality, and totally uninterested in anything other than “My Side vs. Your Side” mindless partisanship. Meanwhile, there’s a company called Zip that is offering the option for people to “buy now, pay later” with Uber Eats orders:Continue reading ““NO RECESSION HERE!!” – Introducing Buy Now, Pay Later for UberEats”
75% of Americans Say They Will Buy a House if the Housing Market Crashes
In other words, there won’t be a housing crash: And this is the reason I’m worried about the housing market. There can’t be a housing crash if 75% of Americans want to buy a home in the event of lower prices. Demand will be strong, therefore prices can’t really fall all that far. Even if,Continue reading “75% of Americans Say They Will Buy a House if the Housing Market Crashes”
The Psychology of the Thucydides Trap
When you are the establishment—the mainstream, the ruling class, the dominant opinion or belief system, the official consensus, the standard, the default, “the Man”—you are mainly focused on maintaining your dominance. This usually takes the form of strict ideological policing and intolerance of dissent. You spend most of your time hunting down and rooting outContinue reading “The Psychology of the Thucydides Trap”
Polllak: Why Did the FBI Wait 18 Months to Seize Back Trump’s “Nuclear Documents”?
Joel Pollak poses a great question in response to the claim, made by Attorney General Merrick Garland, that the documents the FBI raided Trump’s home to obtain pertained to nuclear weaponry: Yes, you’d think nuclear documents would be more of a priority, right? The whole thing doesn’t pass the smell test. And then note theContinue reading “Polllak: Why Did the FBI Wait 18 Months to Seize Back Trump’s “Nuclear Documents”?”
#LifeHack for Politicians: Arrest Your Political Rivals to Prevent them from Challenging You
From Zerohedge: Meanwhile, other headlines are about the FBI’s raid on former President Trump’s home. It would appear the potential crime is the removal of classified documents from the White House, a serious, albeit obscure, charge. Yet the declassification of such documents is the president’s prerogative, in which case the issue may not be as itContinue reading “#LifeHack for Politicians: Arrest Your Political Rivals to Prevent them from Challenging You”
Why Wokeness is Appealing
This was a good comment, sourced via Twitter from the Handwaving Freakoutery slack channel: A great summation, I think of the psychology behind wokeness: it allows one to feel morally superior without actually doing anything to deserve it.
Inflation is defeated! Rejoice!
Stocks are skyrocketing right now on the news that inflation was only 8.5% for the month of July. It was 9.1% last month. A half hour into trading, the S&P is up 1.7% and the Nasdaq up 2.1%. Because inflation is 8.5%. Does that make any sense to you? I didn’t think so. But marketContinue reading “Inflation is defeated! Rejoice!”
Biden, Deep State Mastermind?
I’m pretty sure this isn’t the guy who ordered the FBI raid on Trump: No, as we’ve suspected all along, there’s someone else pulling the strings in his name. But who? It’s Hillary Clinton. She’s calling the shots here. That’s my guess. I think she pretty much revealed herself last night with the raid. ForContinue reading “Biden, Deep State Mastermind?”
Democrats Go Full Banana Republic
I keep trying to tell you: the Democratic Party is not a political party. It is an organized crime syndicate, probably the largest in the world given its global reach. None of this will make sense to you if you view them as a political party. Just imagine them as an organized crime syndicate andContinue reading “Democrats Go Full Banana Republic”
Unfortunately, the US Dollar Needs to Collapse
In 1984, real median household income in the US (meaning inflation adjusted) was about $53,300. So the typical household in 1984 brought in that much money on an annual basis. In 2020, that number was about $65,000. That might seem like a decent increase from 1984, but that number is, due to the rampant inflationContinue reading “Unfortunately, the US Dollar Needs to Collapse”
Echo Bubbles and Wall Street’s Depravity
Today the jobs report came in red-hot, with 528k jobs added vs. 250k expected. This sent stock futures sharply lower, because Wall Street wants the economy to be in shambles, so the Fed can “pivot” from its hawkish stance and turn the money printer back on again. Wall Street is like the pharmaceutical industry. TheContinue reading “Echo Bubbles and Wall Street’s Depravity”
Pelosi Lands in Taiwan
So the old, drunken hag has landed in Taiwan. Of course, stocks are ripping higher because, why not? The bottom line here is that China doesn’t want to go to war with America over this. They want to recapture Taiwan. They’d prefer to do so without starting WW3. However, they are being shown up hereContinue reading “Pelosi Lands in Taiwan”
Pelosi Will Visit Taiwan; Will China Attack?
As we went over the other day, China has been absolutely freaking out over Nancy Pelosi’s potential visit to Taiwan, rattling their sabers and foaming at the mouth like nobody’s business. At the time of my last posting, it was unclear whether or not Pelosi would actually go to Taiwan, but now it is apparentlyContinue reading “Pelosi Will Visit Taiwan; Will China Attack?”
China: If Pelosi Flies to Taiwan, We Will Shoot Her Plane Down
Nancy Pelosi is leaving today for a mutli-stop trip to Asia. She will be visiting Japan, South Korea and Singapore–and possibly Taiwan. But the Chinese government is not taking it well. Tensions over Taiwan appear to be at an all-time high: They are openly threatening to shoot down Pelosi’s plane if it enters Taiwanese airspace.Continue reading “China: If Pelosi Flies to Taiwan, We Will Shoot Her Plane Down”
How Can Inflation Be Under Control Without a Recession?
How can inflation be considered slain even as the government strenuously denies were in a recession? They went so far as to change the definition of the word recession. And now the Fed is saying it can keep rates neutral. The market thinks inflation is finished. But how can that even be possible if we’reContinue reading “How Can Inflation Be Under Control Without a Recession?”
Fed Hikes 0.75%, yet Markets Stampede Higher?
The Nasdaq was up 2% today before the Fed, then went up another 2% after the Fed announced its rate hike decision, finishing up 4.06% for the day. The S&P was up 2.6% and the Dow was up 1.4%. You know my position: this is bear market behavior. Extreme swings in either direction is characteristicContinue reading “Fed Hikes 0.75%, yet Markets Stampede Higher?”
Trudeau Prepares to Destroy Canadian Agriculture
And it’s all under the guise of “ESG,” climate change, sustainability, etc. It’s all just a big Neo-feudalist scam. This is from the government of Saskatchewan’s website: Saskatchewan and Alberta Ministers of Agriculture are expressing profound disappointment in the federal government’s fertilizer emissions reduction target. “We’re really concerned with this arbitrary goal,” Saskatchewan Minister ofContinue reading “Trudeau Prepares to Destroy Canadian Agriculture”
Russia May Shut off Gas to Europe for Good Following Scheduled Summer Maintenance on Nord Stream Pipeline
Joe Biden may just get his “winter of death” after all–except this time, it’ll be in Europe, and it’ll be because the US government insists on forcing Europe to bear the brunt of its “punish Russia for moving on Biden Family Playground, aka Ukraine” (even though it’s not actually punishing Russia). European populations are bracingContinue reading “Russia May Shut off Gas to Europe for Good Following Scheduled Summer Maintenance on Nord Stream Pipeline”
“hOw CaN wE hAvE a ReCeSsIoN iF eVeRyBoDy KnOwS iT’s CoMiNg?”
Maybe one of the dumber things I’ve seen on stock market Twitter over the past few months. Normally it comes from these permabull contrarian types who think Jerome Powell is their Lord and Savior who can do no wrong, we’ll never have another recession again, and stocks only ever go up. These people will beContinue reading ““hOw CaN wE hAvE a ReCeSsIoN iF eVeRyBoDy KnOwS iT’s CoMiNg?””
What Did I Tell You?
Powell changes his tune on the recession forecast: Before he and everyone else in the government were saying there won’t be a recession. Now, Powell is saying there might be a recession, but it’s not our intention to cause one. Even though it is their intention to cause one. They’re backpedaling. You have been warned.Continue reading “What Did I Tell You?”
Kaliningrad Blockade Could Set off Russia-NATO Direct Clash
Kaliningrad is that little tiny “country” with no name on the Baltic Sea coast, sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland. Except, it’s not a country. It’s part of Russia. It’s known as the “exclave.” Politically, it’s just considered one of Russia’s oblasts (akin to American states, or Canadian provinces). It’s not a foreign territory that RussiaContinue reading “Kaliningrad Blockade Could Set off Russia-NATO Direct Clash”
Glenn Greenwald on Elon Musk’s Bid to Buy Twitter
A lot of the time, I don’t know what to think about Elon Musk. Part of me thinks of him as a marketing genius who plays a real life genius–in a way, a sort of snake oil salesman, with a lot of sizzle and not much steak. Like he’s better at selling products than developingContinue reading “Glenn Greenwald on Elon Musk’s Bid to Buy Twitter”
How to Gauge Russia’s Progress in Ukraine
First of all, absolutely do not listen to the media. Don’t even listen to a word they say. Not a single word. It is literally all lies. So we’ve ruled the US media out. But how are we supposed to know how the war is going if we don’t know who we can trust? Well,Continue reading “How to Gauge Russia’s Progress in Ukraine”
Lithium Battery-Powered Electric Vehicles Are a Fairytale
I don’t care how many Teslas and EVs are on the road today. The whole EV industry is unsustainable, and this will all end in disaster—and probably more than a few SEC investigations. Let’s start with the fact that EVs are not anywhere near as “clean” and “green” as they’re cracked up to be. WhereContinue reading “Lithium Battery-Powered Electric Vehicles Are a Fairytale”
Europe’s Plan to End its Reliance on Russian Natural Gas is Doomed
And applying even the slightest bit of logical thinking to the situation would make that fact plainly obvious: if Europe actually had a viable alternative to Russian gas, don’t you think they would have switched over to it a long time ago? Europe—especially Germany—needs Russian natural gas. It’s unavoidable. It’s inescapable. They rely on RussiaContinue reading “Europe’s Plan to End its Reliance on Russian Natural Gas is Doomed”
What The Heck is Going on With the Stock Market Right Now?
If you pay attention to the markets, you have probably noticed the extremely odd movements underway right now. Just when it seemed like the party was over and the bear market had begun, the market starts absolutely RAMPAGING higher. The Nasdaq index, which had been just beaten mercilessly since early January, dropping about 24% fromContinue reading “What The Heck is Going on With the Stock Market Right Now?”
NBC News: Covid PPP Loans Enabled “Biggest Fraud in US History”
Fraud, grift, scams, and bamboozlements are at an all-time high. It’s not just crypto, NFTs, stocks and online career gurus: They bought Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Bentleys. And Teslas, of course. Lots of Teslas. Many who participated in what prosecutors are calling the largest fraud in U.S. history — the theft of hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money intended toContinue reading “NBC News: Covid PPP Loans Enabled “Biggest Fraud in US History””
Bloomberg: “Strategic Splits Emerging” Within NATO Ranks
Is NATO in the early stages of unraveling? It appears so. Bloomberg: As NATO allies discuss the terms of any potential peace deal to be struck between Russia and Ukraine, signs of strategic splits are emerging from within their ranks. With the war now in its second month, a series of dilemmas are coming intoContinue reading “Bloomberg: “Strategic Splits Emerging” Within NATO Ranks”
Ruble Gains Against US Dollar, Yield Curves Invert, Home Prices Out of Control
Russia has announced that as of March 31, all of its gas exports to Europe are to be priced and paid for in rubles: No rubles, no gas. Those are Russia’s terms now. This is obviously expected because America and NATO have taken steps to sanction Russia into economic oblivion. So why would Russia continueContinue reading “Ruble Gains Against US Dollar, Yield Curves Invert, Home Prices Out of Control”
Biden: We’re Going to Have Food Shortages
Aren’t you glad the Adults are back in charge? You must starve for Ukraine, plebes: Many grocery stores in America have had bare or half-empty shelves for the better part of the last year. But it’s going to get even worse, Biden says. This is all being done by choice. It doesn’t have to beContinue reading “Biden: We’re Going to Have Food Shortages”
It’s All Spin and Lies from the US Government
Yesterday, our Fearless Leader informed us that he was heading to Europe to “rally the international community” and “ensure Putin pays a severe economic cost for his war of choice.” Wow, awesome, look at what a big tough guy Brandon is with his sunglasses. Putin must be quivering in his boots! Notice anything wrong withContinue reading “It’s All Spin and Lies from the US Government”
America’s Catastrophic Blunder
We’ve gone over on this site how idiotic and antagonistic the US has been toward Russia, and how if America wasn’t so greedy and power-mad there never would have been a war in Ukraine. I came across a phenomenal thread on Twitter that I think does a great job of summarizing just how disastrous America’sContinue reading “America’s Catastrophic Blunder”
Shocker: Canadian Poll Finds Major Divergence in Views on Ukraine Between Vaxxed/Unvaxxed
It’s almost as if your susceptibility to falling for the last media propaganda campaign strongly correlates to your susceptibility to falling for the current one: So 86% of those who are triple-vaxxed want tougher economic sanctions on Russia compared to just 13% of unvaccinated. 52% of triple-vaxxed want to lend fighter jets to Ukraine, onlyContinue reading “Shocker: Canadian Poll Finds Major Divergence in Views on Ukraine Between Vaxxed/Unvaxxed”
People Magazine: More and More Young People Suffering Blood Clots & Stroke-like Symptoms
But don’t you dare say what I know you’re thinking of saying: Hailey Baldwin Bieber is recovering after developing a blood clot that moved to her brain, a health problem that is happening in “younger and younger people” says a vascular neurologist. Bieber, 25, shared on Saturday that she was eating breakfast with husband JustinContinue reading “People Magazine: More and More Young People Suffering Blood Clots & Stroke-like Symptoms”
Saudis Considering Pricing Oil Sales to China in Yuan, Rejecting Dollar
I wrote recently about the petrodollar system whereby all oil sales around the world are priced and transacted in US dollars, and about how this is a major part of the US dollar’s status as global reserve currency. I also wrote about how the events of the past few weeks could mark the beginning ofContinue reading “Saudis Considering Pricing Oil Sales to China in Yuan, Rejecting Dollar”
Western Mercenaries Volunteering to Fight for Ukraine Are Getting a Very Rude Awakening
This is something else: It really does seem like a lot of these guys have really bought into the pro-Ukraine propaganda that is ubiquitous in Western nations. They believed they were going to be kicking Russkie ass, not having hellfire rained down on them from above by Russia’s near-complete air supremacy. This is really somethingContinue reading “Western Mercenaries Volunteering to Fight for Ukraine Are Getting a Very Rude Awakening”
Drill This Into Your Head: Oil Spikes = Recession
A fantastic chart from Jim Bianco on Twitter: This chart does not show the price of oil. It shows the percentage deviation from the trend in the price of oil. Any time oil has spiked more than 50% above the price trend, it has preceded a recession. 2008, 2001, 1991, 1980, 1974, 1970–all years ofContinue reading “Drill This Into Your Head: Oil Spikes = Recession”
Facebook & Instagram to Temporarily Allow Calls for Violence Against Russians
This is not made up: Let’s take a look at the article itself: Meta Platforms (FB.O) will allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of the Ukraine invasion, according to internal emails seen by Reuters on Thursday, in a temporary change to its hateContinue reading “Facebook & Instagram to Temporarily Allow Calls for Violence Against Russians”
Quantitative Easing is Officially Over
Today, the Federal Reserve made its final bond purchase of the Covid QE monetary program: Today, March 9, also marks the 13 year anniversary of the start of the post-Great Recession bull market rally, although it has been some time since the markets made a new high, and the bull market may in fact alreadyContinue reading “Quantitative Easing is Officially Over”
Further Humiliation: Saudis, UAE Refuse to Take Biden’s Calls on Increasing Oil Output
The Globalist American Empire (GAE) suffers yet another bodyblow: Saudi and UAE leaders are refusing to take Biden’s calls as the US president tries to contain surging oil prices, according to the Wall Street Journal, which adds that the Persian Gulf monarchies have signaled “they won’t help ease surging oil prices unless Washington supports them in Yemen,Continue reading “Further Humiliation: Saudis, UAE Refuse to Take Biden’s Calls on Increasing Oil Output”
The Bush-Era Neocons Are Attempting to Rise from the Ashes and Recapture the Republican Party
Ukraine is their golden opportunity to Make Neoconservatism Great Again, only this time, they’re rebranding as “realists” and dropping all the platitudes about “spreading democracy.” Ben Domenech tries to chart a new course forward for Republican foreign policy, but his recommendation is simply for a re-branded version of 2000s Bush-era neoconservatism: The Russian invasion ofContinue reading “The Bush-Era Neocons Are Attempting to Rise from the Ashes and Recapture the Republican Party”
Clint Ehrlich: Russia On Verge of “Annihilating” the Bulk of Ukrainian Army
A dose of reality amid all the delusional propaganda and fake news: This is what I mean by delusional propaganda and fake news. The voices being elevated on social media right now are the ones spreading the most misinformation and lies. If you follow mainstream sources on this war, you are literally getting the oppositeContinue reading “Clint Ehrlich: Russia On Verge of “Annihilating” the Bulk of Ukrainian Army”
Lindsey Graham: Someone Needs to Assassinate Vladimir Putin
For the crime of daring to assert his country’s own national interest at the expense of America’s complete and unchecked world hegemony: It if is not abundantly clear by now, we are not the good guys. More accurately, the people in charge of America are not the good guys. For the better part of theContinue reading “Lindsey Graham: Someone Needs to Assassinate Vladimir Putin”
Russia’s Capture of Kherson Was a Major Moment in the War
I initially thought this would be a very easy war for the Russians to win, and that victory would be secured within a few days tops due to mass surrender on the part of Ukraine. I was not alone in this belief–I follow a few Russian accounts on Twitter and they were extremely optimistic atContinue reading “Russia’s Capture of Kherson Was a Major Moment in the War”
NY State Study: Pfizer Vax Was Just 12% Effective Among Kids 5-11 During Omicron
I haven’t written much about Covid-19 lately given the situation with the war in Ukraine, which has basically (and miraculously!) ended the pandemic. But I did want to highlight this study from New York State’s Department of Health, which found that, basically, there is virtually no argument for mandating the Covid shot for kids: PfizerContinue reading “NY State Study: Pfizer Vax Was Just 12% Effective Among Kids 5-11 During Omicron”
The Race is On
As I see it, the war in Ukraine right now is a race. The Russians must force the surrender of the Zelenskiy government before the Zelenskiy government convinces NATO to join on its side. It’s increasingly clear that the Zelenskiy government’s only hope here is to frame this as a humanitarian crisis: “The Russians areContinue reading “The Race is On”
Wall Street Warns: Booting Russia From SWIFT Could Damage Global “Supremacy of US Dollar”
When I say that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine marks the end of America’s global hegemony, I am not overreacting. This is from Bloomberg: Some of Wall Street’s largest banks told lawmakers and the Biden administration that kicking Russia off the SWIFT financial-messaging system would have far-reaching fallout that could hurt the global economy and undermineContinue reading “Wall Street Warns: Booting Russia From SWIFT Could Damage Global “Supremacy of US Dollar””
Do You Want to Be On The Same Side as These People?
George Soros has some strong views on Russia-Ukraine: Hillary Clinton doesn’t just #StandWithUkraine, she wants to crack down on Americans who don’t sufficiently support going to war with Russia: If you have been stirred into a warlike and Russophobic fervor, and you find yourself overcome with the desire to go to war with Russia, youContinue reading “Do You Want to Be On The Same Side as These People?”
Western Sanctions on Russia May be Playing into a Putin-Xi Plan to End the Petrodollar System
I found a good thread on Twitter about the possible economic endgame in play here. The “petrodollar system” is simply the fact that globally, since the end of the gold standard in 1971, oil has been priced and thereby paid for by US dollars. To say that the US dollar is a pure fiat currencyContinue reading “Western Sanctions on Russia May be Playing into a Putin-Xi Plan to End the Petrodollar System”
Understanding Russia’s Real Strategy in Ukraine
This video is a bit long, but if you’ve got the time, this guy does a great job explaining why it’s apparently “taking so long” for the Russians to win this war: Now I don’t know much about the guy in the video, his channel on YouTube is called Coach Red Pill, but he isContinue reading “Understanding Russia’s Real Strategy in Ukraine”
Russo-Ukrainian War, Day 2: Russian Forces Descend on Kiev
The first thing I want to emphasize here is that there is a lot of information pouring in, and we should not trust everything we see and hear on social media. This is a war, and there are competing narratives. Both sides are trying to project strength and boost morale, and there is an entireContinue reading “Russo-Ukrainian War, Day 2: Russian Forces Descend on Kiev”
🚨 The Invasion of Ukraine Has Begun– Taiwan Next?
Last night, at about 9:30pm eastern time, the long-awaited Russian invasion of Ukraine commenced. The Russian military began with precision airstrikes on Ukrainian air defense sites, essentially grabbing total and complete air dominance. This is an absolute necessity in modern warfare. After opening with strategic airstrikes to both disable key Ukrainian defenses and demoralize theContinue reading “🚨 The Invasion of Ukraine Has Begun– Taiwan Next?”
Fall of Kiev Imminent? Ukrainian Prez Zelenskiy Begs Russian Citizens to Stop Putin from Launching Invasion
Look at this man’s face. Look at his eyes. This is a man who has lost all hope, and has no other option but to await his fate: Kiev is officially in a state of emergency, and the Ukrainian President knows all hope is lost. At this point, all he can do is hope PutinContinue reading “Fall of Kiev Imminent? Ukrainian Prez Zelenskiy Begs Russian Citizens to Stop Putin from Launching Invasion”
CBSNews Ratio’d into Oblivion for Claiming Ukraine Crisis is Causing Economic Problems in the US
The US media has zero credibility: Of course no one’s buying it. You can see the 29,000 responses to the tweet, most of which are ripping CBS news to shreds. The media now have their marching orders: all the economic problems the US is facing right now are due to the situation in Ukraine. AllContinue reading “CBSNews Ratio’d into Oblivion for Claiming Ukraine Crisis is Causing Economic Problems in the US”
Biden: Americans Must Pay Higher Gas Prices to “Defend Freedom” in Ukraine
The US government cares more about Ukraine than it does about you: Apparently we’ve imposed sanctions on Russia, but it appears regular everyday Americans are the ones paying the price. It’s all worth it, though. I am fine paying higher gas prices if I know Joe and Hunter Biden’s corrupt business dealings in Ukraine areContinue reading “Biden: Americans Must Pay Higher Gas Prices to “Defend Freedom” in Ukraine”
Americans Need to Stop Viewing Putin Like a Movie Villain
The big story right now is Putin’s official recognition of eastern Ukraine, specifically Donetsk and Luhansk, which will assuredly lead to their annexation by Russia. This is supposedly the greatest horror in international affairs since Hitler annexed the Sudetenland in 1938. NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called this “the most dangerous moment for European securityContinue reading “Americans Need to Stop Viewing Putin Like a Movie Villain”
Triple-Vaxxed Queen Elizabeth II has Covid-19, Appears to be Taking Ivermectin
Why is the Queen a science-denying horse paste eater? If ivermectin is good enough for the Queen, why is everyone else discouraged from taking it?
Putin: Russia Recognizes the Independence of Donetsk & Luhansk
At around 10pm Moscow time, 2pm Washington time, Russian President Putin went on television and delivered an address in which he announced he was officially recognizing the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, located on the eastern Ukrainian border and under de facto Russian control since 2014: It is now expected that the pro-Russian authoritiesContinue reading “Putin: Russia Recognizes the Independence of Donetsk & Luhansk”
Bloomberg: The Fed is Heading Towards a Hard Landing
This article by Lisa Abramowicz, a very good financial reporter who I would recommend following, appeared in Bloomberg’s opinion section. In it she argues that the Federal Reserve’s Higher risk assets are sending a concerning message to the Federal Reserve: the central bank either needs move more quickly and aggressively to tighten monetary policy, orContinue reading “Bloomberg: The Fed is Heading Towards a Hard Landing”
Police Are Not Your Friends
I have to say it. As we see police storm into Ottawa and begin arresting protesters, the main thought on my mind is not that I’m angry at Justin Trudeau. I mean, I am, but ultimately what he’s doing is expected. He’s Klaus Schwab’s little minion. He’s doing as he’s told. It’s hard for someoneContinue reading “Police Are Not Your Friends”
21st Century Financial Fascism Has Been Unleashed in Canada
A fantastic point: The government of Canada is now compelling virtually every financial institution you can think of to freeze the assets of anyone involved in the Trucker protests in any way shape or form.

Canada Now Treating Protesters As Terrorists
Sheer madness: The Canadian government would rather treat its own citizens as terrorists than simply rescind the pointless and ineffective Covid restrictions. I really can’t think of another word to encapsulate what’s happening right now than madness.

The Canadian Endgame
Last night Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, announced that he was doubling down and digging his heels in: Before he tweeted this out, there was speculation on social media that the reason he called this meeting was because he planned to resign.

Fidel Castro’s bastard effeminate son is laying down the law: He is threatening the Truckers’ livelihoods and promising to slap them all with felonies that make it impossible for them to enter the US.

Mask Mandates For Children Are Evil
Look at how happy these kids are when they’re told they no longer have to wear masks: I don’t even have to say it. It is abundantly obvious from their reaction. But I will anyway: Masks are torture.

Moderna: We’re Creating an mRNA Injection for Heart Failure & Cardiovascular Disease!
Wonder how long this has been in the works: It’s almost as if the whole entire business model of Big Pharma is to sell you poison and then sell you the cure!

They sell “treatments,” which you have to take for the rest of yourContinue reading “Moderna: We’re Creating an mRNA Injection for Heart Failure & Cardiovascular Disease!”

Ottawa City Councilwoman Says Trucker Protests are “Treason”
This is a new subspecies of Karen known as the “Diane.” “Dianes” are very similar to Karens, but typically older on average: I’m at the point now where I no longer get upset or outraged when these people lie.
