BREAKING 🚨: How corrupt is the United States? The day after the Justice Department launched an investigation into Wall Street short sellers the largest document storage facility, TD Ameritrade Bartlett Warehouse, went up in flames. They hauled the evidence away ON FIRE in direct violation of OSHA safety requirements. 60 hedge funds were to undergo investigations for manipulative short selling. Authorities concluded that a “falling shelf” took out the entire building’s sprinkler system that was located on the roof.
⠀
The facility was a newer facility outfitted with state of the art fire prevention technology.
⠀
Hedge funds have been under heavy scrutiny from retail investors.
⠀
More specifically from the AMC and GME community after the ‘meme stock’ frenzy early last year, 2021
⠀
Hedge funds have been able to suppress the share price of both these stocks through predatorial short-selling strategies.
⠀
In a Bloomberg exclusive, Gary Gensler states 90%-95% or retail market trades do not go through the lit exchange, but rather through dark pools.
⠀
This happened on February 4th 2022. Just like everything with out government absolutely NOTHING has come from the investigation. No charges. No stop to the blatant naked short selling taking place on a daily basis robbing investors.
⠀
The primary offender of naked shorting of course is Citadel, owned by Ken Griffin. Griffin is Ron DeSantis’s MEGADONOR and #WEF member.

CERN WAS SHUT DOWN BECAUSE IT CAN NO LONGER HOLD THE LIGHT.

It was never just a machine. CERN was the main resonance anchor of the artificial overlay grid, the frequency regulator that kept the old 666 control system stable and humanity trapped in fear and amnesia.

Now the Central Sun is flooding this realm with raw 888 plasma.

The old artificial structures were never built to carry this frequency. If CERN stayed fully online, the incoming light would rip the entire grid apart in total chaos.

So they are powering it down.

This is the purge.

As CERN goes offline, the artificial overlays are losing their structural integrity. The fear loops, the harvesting fields, the time prisons, and the dense electromagnetic cage are fragmenting in real time.

They cannot hold what is coming.

Those still identified with the old matrix will feel increasing breakdown and chaos. Those who have already released the false self and activated their G-Core are moving into the new frequency without resistance.

This is not maintenance. This is the deliberate removal of the final stabilizers so the old artificial world can collapse.

The light is not here to negotiate.

It is here to overwrite everything that cannot hold it.

Let the old grid burn.

[Doug Casey's International Man @intlmandotcom]

In a fiat currency system, the benefits of deflationary technology primarily accrue to asset holders, because the forced inflation created by central banks pumps up asset values.

If we were living under an honest, hard-money monetary system, where the benefits of technology would not be offset by central banks debasing the currency, those gains would accrue more evenly across the population.

That is why we think the chart below is instructive.

It is a long-term view of real wages versus productivity.

The two tracked together well for decades, showing that as productivity increased, real wages did too. In other words, most people benefited from increases in productivity through higher real wages.

Then something changed around 1971, when that strong positive correlation broke. It was the year the US government cut the dollar’s last link to gold and the dollar became a pure fiat currency.

Since 1971, there has been a growing gap between productivity and real wages.

If you could transport yourself back to the early 1970s, just as the divergence between productivity and real wages began, and ask people what they thought 2026 would look like, they might have said something like The Jetsons—flying cars, advanced technology, and a society in which everyone was better off.

They probably would not have believed you if you told them that, in reality, people would be worse off in many ways in 2026 than they were in the early 1970s, despite enormous technological progress. We may not have flying cars or The Jetsons, but there have still been significant advances. Yet people’s standard of living has declined in many ways.

Today, many people are bewildered by how people could be worse off now than they were then. The answer is in this chart, which shows that the fiat system and currency debasement are the problem.

Despite advances in technology, the shocking level of currency debasement has not merely kept pace with the natural deflation that comes from increased productivity, but has vastly outpaced it… which is why people are, in many ways, worse off today than they were in the early 1970s. That prosperity has been stolen by inflation and fiat currency.

Since 1971, productivity has continued to increase, largely thanks to advances in technology, but those gains have not translated into growth in real wages as they had in the past under an honest money system. That is because under a fiat currency system, the central bank—the Federal Reserve—has created significantly more inflation than the gains in productivity, which meant real wages did not keep up.

However, those productivity gains from advancing technology did not just disappear. They were redirected somewhere else. They accrued primarily to asset holders, as wage earners chased rapidly depreciating fiat currency.

In short, the fiat currency system is a mechanism for transferring wealth created by technological productivity gains to asset holders and politically connected insiders closest to the money printer.

Frankly, it is a disgusting, dishonest system that operates at the expense of honest people.

But that is the nature of the monetary system we are all forced to live under. And it is wise to acknowledge it, understand it, and take action to protect yourself.

And now, with AI bringing a mind-bending level of productivity gains, this dynamic is about to go into overdrive.

I went to a prestigious prep school (Choate).

By default, I know way too many people who slid into the USAID grifter circuit.

It’s way worse than you think: nauseating buzzword-filled circle-jerks on Zoom calls, business-class conferences in Zurich, private champagne dinners, and endless layers of outsourcing (each one taking their fat cut) - all on unlimited expense accounts.

Saying 90% of the “aid” disappears into admin, overhead, and fraud is a gross understatement.

And for what?

So these con artists can LARP as humanitarian saviors, feign respectability, and send their kids to private school…

…all on the backs of hardworking American taxpayers.

It's a lifestyle racket. A facade.

And the worst part is that we're all expected to hold these people in high regard.

[The Economic LongWave @TheELongWave]

Hate to break it to the modern socialists, but the welfare state is not collapsing because of “capitalism.” It is collapsing because governments promised more than productive economies could sustain, then filled the gap by debasing the currency.

That inflation tax impoverishes workers quietly. It destroys savings, wages, pensions, and purchasing power especially for the poor and middle class.

Gold’s rise and Bitcoin’s emergence are not accidents. They are market responses to the real theft: currency debasement.

And here is the glaring omission: Marx lived under a very different monetary system. Much of his world operated under gold. Prices often fell. Money was harder. Real wages eventually rose.

Modern socialists borrow Marx’s critique of 19th-century capitalism but ignore the 20th- and 21st-century monetary machine: fiat money, central banking, credit expansion, asset inflation, and permanent deficits.

Modern socialists keep quoting Marx while ignoring the monetary system that is actually impoverishing the worker.

Real Money now #gold #bitcoin

[Guy Swann @TheGuySwann]

There is no fallacy more destructive than the idea that prices naturally increase over time.

All prices should fall if the economy is more productive. Indefinitely. It is literally only because trillions of dollars are counterfeited from nothing every year, and our time, living standards, home affordability, and critical resources get sucked out of the economy to pay for it that things get more expensive.

It is explicitly unnatural and it’s explicitly because we have fake money and a communist central bank at the lowest layer of our economic system.

Bret Weinstein cuts straight to the chase:

"We are going to have an endless battle in which those of us who see what we believe is clear evidence of some kind of election rigging or fraud are faced with indignation from a vast array of people portraying themselves as more rigorous and careful who say, 'Where is your evidence? Where exactly is your evidence that there was something wrong with this election?' And we are gonna be caught in the following predicament.

No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case. And the sum total of all of the evidence contains true things and false things. So it is also no good.

So the question is, can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong? I believe you can easily.

Can you prove it? No.

And not being able to prove it means that the election will proceed. It will be validated by all of the structures, including the courts. And that means that those who take on the power that derives from these elections will be the result of whatever process we just went through, whether it was an election that happened to be anomalous through organic means, or it was the result of some kind of fraud or election rigging. That is not an accident.

That is not an accident.

And the point that I wanna make primarily is the primary evidence against elections that look like this being organic is not actually in the trickle of evidence that we are actually able to see, the moment by moment vote count that does something strange during the night when some large tranche of ballots is suddenly counted or something like that.

The evidence is in the structure of how the elections are actually carried out. These elections are designed to allow fraud that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted. And that's really the thing that we must focus on."

Most people still think a bank lends out other people's deposits.

It does not. The day you signed your mortgage, the bank did not reach for anyone's savings.

It typed the money into a screen. It did not exist the moment before.

They made it, there and then, out of nothing.

Then they handed it to you, and you spent the next thirty years paying it back with the one thing nobody can type out of nothing.

Your time. Your work. Your one life.

Thirty years of early starts. Of missed weekends. Of dragging yourself in when you were spent.

To repay money they conjured in an afternoon.

They created theirs with a keystroke.

You repay yours with your life.

That is the deal. And they have the nerve to call it owning a home.

[Handre @Handre]

Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, delivering the single greatest blow to financial tyranny in American history. You won't hear this story told correctly in any economics textbook, because it reveals how central banking works: as a government-sponsored cartel that redistributes wealth from productive citizens to politically connected bankers.

The Second Bank held a 20-year federal charter starting in 1816. It controlled the money supply, issued currency, and held government deposits. Sound familiar? Nicholas Biddle, the bank's president, wielded more economic power than any elected official. He could trigger financial panics at will by restricting credit. He bought newspapers and bribed congressmen. When Jackson opposed recharter in 1832, Biddle deliberately crashed the economy to punish him.

Jackson called it "a hydra of corruption" and he was right. The bank created artificial booms through credit expansion, then triggered busts when politically convenient. Biddle openly bragged about manipulating markets. Free market economists and Jackson both recognized the core insight: this was legalized counterfeiting with government backing, not free market banking.

The political establishment united against Jackson. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the entire Whig Party defended the bank. Biddle spent millions buying influence. The press attacked Jackson as an economic ignoramus. Every "respectable" voice supported recharter. Jackson stood alone with the American people.

After Jackson killed the bank, the country experienced the strongest economic growth in its history. From 1837 to 1862, America operated without a central bank. Industry flourished. Wages rose. Innovation exploded. This wasn't coincidence. When you stop subsidizing financial speculation and let productive capital find its natural home, prosperity follows.

Central banks don't stabilize economies: they destabilize them for private gain.
