What if the CRE collapse isn’t a failure… but a phase?

1⃣ Create the crisis
2⃣ Trigger the fear
3⃣ Roll out the “solution”

Problem → Reaction → Solution

When transparency tightens and capital scrambles for the exits, ask yourself:

Is this chaos… or consolidation?

The state of Washington is realizing that the millionaire tax won't bring in extra revenue.

The budget office has told all agencies to stop expanding programs and instead prepare for significant cuts.

Businesses are fleeing Seattle and the entire state. Wealthy individuals are moving to Texas, Florida and Nevada to escape the state income tax. This is all hitting the state budget and blowing holes in their revenue projections.

Even the millionaire tax might not survive. It is being challenged in court and might be on the ballot for removal soon. But the businesses and wealthy families will have already left even if the tax is repealed. Basically the state of Washington chased away their most productive people for no reason.

The same EXACT story about MASSIVE FRAUD in Minnesota ran 12 YEARS AGO with millions A DAY in cash being stolen, ran through the MN airport to foreign countries, ripping off American taxpayers and NOTHING was done about it.

Here we are AGAIN today with well over $20 BILLION stolen, with Tim Walz, Ilhan Omar, and the rest of the Democrats turning their backs on the fraud because they're all involved.

Start the PROSECUTIONS.

$QQQ $SPY The market is acting like it wants to bounce but the charts look like they want to dip 📉

And traders are stuck in the middle 🤷‍♂️

I’m treating this as a channel trading market until proven otherwise ✅

Who’s buying the dip and who’s shorting the rip❓

A Massachusetts school is allowing Sikh students to bring knives to school for “religious purposes” while admitting any other student who brings a knife would be suspended or expelled.

You can’t even make this up.

59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.

Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.

@coffeebreak_YT Fraud is everywhere- look at how many ⁦antique rugs & tapestries stores there are downtown in every city.

The number of storefronts with ZERO customers never made any sense until 15 years ago when a coworker casually told me it's probably visa fraud 🤯

Catherine Austin Fitts on how psychopaths are able to run the world

"people who have no empathy are really good at... organizing for self-benefit"

"[So] you have... 3 to 5% sort of psychopath[s] [at the top], [and then] 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them"

"then you have the other 60 to 70% [of the population] who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing, drives them crazy. And they become neurotic"

This clip of Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (@solari_the), is taken from a discussion with Alix Mayer (@alixm) posted to YouTube on June 3, 2026.

----------------Partial transcription of clip---------------

"There's a wonderful book called Political Ponerology. Have you ever read it? Okay, so, the, the description of the book is as follows. It was a psychologist who had been a young man during Hitler in Poland. And after the war then Stalin came in and he was at university and he and a group of colleagues decided, you know, because they'd been so traumatized by all this tyranny, they said, we're going to study the intersection of psychopathy with politics.

"And that's ponerology, the study of psychopathy mixed— And here's what they— And they wrote the book, he said, three times, tried to get it out from behind the Iron Curtain and then, failed, had to destroy it. And then when he finally got out after '89, he wrote it from memory.

"And here's what it said. And what he said was that most people are born with empathy and they can't fathom not only that other people don't have empathy, but that the people who have no empathy are really good at getting together and organizing for self-benefit.

"So the people with no empathy are much more effective at conspiracies than the people with empathy. Okay?

"So anyway, what he said was about 20 to 25% of the population who are competent at running things are willing to work for the people who don't have empathy as long as they get paid well.

"And if you look at the history of America, the way we've gotten here is a lot of people got paid a lot of money, whether with their stocks and bonds or whether their job helping the people who have no empathy do all the evil doing.

"I mean, you know that because if you look at what's going on in medicine, you can see it clearly.

"So what happens is you have the 3 to 5% sort of psychopathic, then you have the 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them. And then you have the other 60 to 70% who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing drives them crazy. And they become neurotic.

"They become neurotic about the food, they become neurotic about the healthcare, they become neurotic about programmable money. And until they finally come to understand, you're dealing with psychopathic and you're dealing with people who will help the psychopaths for money.

"And what he said was once people could fathom what was going on, suddenly they started being effective."

@SimonDixonTwitt @BitcoinBombadil This sounds like it could also be a good description of fiat as they continue the devaluation of the dollar:

"When an asset becomes a liability, you extract as much value as possible, strip it for parts, and sell it to the highest bidder." ~ @SimonDixonTwitt
