"Shocking Signs of Economic Collapse,
People are Having a Difficult Time"
"Tourism is collapsing, and the shocking signs are everywhere! In this video, I dive into the struggling state of the economy and how it's impacting everyday life. From empty beaches in Laguna to the devastating drop in tips and traffic in Las Vegas, people simply aren’t spending like they used to. Even travel is taking a hit with sky-high airline prices and fewer trips being planned. Is this just the beginning of an economic downturn, or are we seeing the collapse of an era? Join me as I break down the ripple effects - gas prices soaring, retail giants like JCPenney shutting down stores, and even major companies like Ford and Hertz struggling to stay afloat. Mergers are happening everywhere, from railroads to racing, all in a bid for survival. What does this mean for everyday Americans? Is the financial squeeze tightening on all of us?"

"Crackpot Economics"
by Bill Bonner
Eugenie les Bains, France - "The Trump Team has just embarked on the Second Major Crackpot Financial Experiment of our lifetime. Bloomberg: "Trump Boosts Tariffs Across World, Reshaping Global Commerce." We’re down in the South of France, not far from the Spanish border. We’ve come for a wedding...the daughter of one of Elizabeth’s old classmates is getting married. Details to follow...Meanwhile, we’re watching another long-term disaster as it hatches.
The first was the one we’ve been tracking for many years - the 1971 switch from real money, tied to gold...to fake money, with nothing to connect it to the real world of goods and services. So far, this new dollar - not supported by anything other than the untrustworthy full faith and credit of the US government - has lost 86% of its value.
This had two pernicious results. It jacked up the nominal cost of American labor and US exports - making them less attractive to foreign markets. And it made dollar credits so readily available (with lower interest rates) that Americans could buy what they wanted from abroad rather than making it themselves. The effect was to strip the US of its manufacturing base...keep the working class from getting a real raise for half a century...and saddle the country with $103 trillion in debt.
Mr. Trump failed to understand what Crackpot Experiment Number One was all about. He blamed its consequences on ‘unfair trade deals.’ This led him to Crackpot Experiment Number Two.
Both experiments test the same hypothesis - one that everyone who’s been paying attention knows to be untrue - that politicians and bureaucrats can do a better job of controlling financial forces than free markets. The Soviet Union - to whose long-suffering people we are all deeply indebted - ran that experiment over a 70-year period. Such a disaster was it, that the leadership not only abandoned central planning but gave up on their whole Soviet government. Back in the US, the lesson seems to have been missed.
Crackpot Experiment Number One gave the feds greater control of our money, with the inevitable undesirable results. Crackpot Experiment Number Two has the feds taking over trade. The New York Times: "Over the last six months, the US has left behind the global trade order that persisted for decades in favor of something drastically different and largely untested."
But US government-managed trade was tested in the 1930s. Misters Smoot and Hawley put on tariffs that were lower than those of Mr. Trump. In a matter of weeks, two out of three cross-border orders had been canceled. The world economy sank into depression and took more than ten years to climb out.
Nevertheless, Mr. Trump decided to re-run the experiment. He announced his Liberation Day in April and said he was liberating the economy from...free trade. Henceforth, US trade would be centrally planned with Mr. Trump himself setting the tariffs. And instead of paying tariffs of 2% to 5%, importers will pay 15%...and more. Poor l
And copper, an essential metal for the modern economy, will be hit with a 50% tariff. This includes pipes, wires, rods, and sheets and other ‘semi-finished’ copper products. Copper cathodes, the raw material for copper used in cars, construction, electronics, and renewables, are apparently exempt from the tariffs.
A shame. The prosperity of the modern world was largely a product of copper, container ships and increased trade. Trade barriers had been coming down since WWII. And it was the absence of internal trade barriers - between California and New York, for example - that created the world’s largest free-trade zone and made the US such an economic powerhouse in the first place.
But here we are. The tariffs are supposed to kick in today. But wait. Lobbyists are on the job. Within hours of Trump’s Wednesday announcement, the message had changed. Bloomberg: "Trump blinked, announcing for the first time that his 50% tariff [on Brazil] didn’t mean 50% on everything...Brazilian goods will face an effective tariff rate of about 30%, Fernando Goncalves, the [Itau] bank’s head of economic research, said in an interview."
Then, he blinked again. The Daily Beast: "President Donald Trump announced he was delaying new tariffs on Mexico... The president announced his decision to delay tariffs set to go into effect on Friday for 90 days in a post on Truth Social after speaking on the phone with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum."
And then, POTUS went kooky, threatening to use trade deals to force a change in Canada’s foreign policy, The Daily Beast continues: "The president posted on Wednesday that it would be “very hard” for the U.S. to make a deal with Canada after the country backed Palestinian statehood."
As for copper, almost all electrical connections - which are embedded in just about everything — depend on copper. Jacking up the price of copper by 50% is no small matter. So valuable is copper to a modern economy that it is sometimes called ‘the metal with a Ph.D. in economics.’ When prices go up...it signals an economy that is running hot. When they go down, watch out...a recession is coming. Bloomberg: "The US copper market suffered its largest intra-day fall on record after President Donald Trump shocked traders by exempting the most widely imported form of copper from his planned tariffs."
But what kind of a signal is this? Now that the feds are controlling the price, does it mean anything? Or, has the metal suddenly become retarded? We don’t know. But central planning won’t work any better with trade than it did with money. Both experiments - like a meth lab run by mental defectives - will blow up."

"The Artificial Demon"

“With apologies for bluntness, the mainstream press
f**ked around, now the mainstream press is finding out.”
- Matt Taibbi
"I will proffer a harsh truth to you: the best outcome in Ukraine would be for Russia to win the war as expeditiously as possible, neutralize and disarm the place, change-out its illegitimate government, and let it revert to being the frontier backwater it was for eight decades previous, when it was not a problem for the other nations of the region.
Mr. Putin has put up with our country’s psychotic nonsense with remarkable patience. The idea that he seeks to conquer western Europe was a preposterous confection of the neocon crazies in our State Department and Intel “community.”
The long game for the neocon crazies has been to use NATO as the instrument to break up Russia and gain control of its resources. This was after Secretary of State James Baker told Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, in discussions over German reunification, that “not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.” Starting in 1999 with the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, sixteen additional nations were induced to join NATO, encroaching on Russia’s borders, with new military bases and missiles. It was a stupid game.
And it failed. Ukraine was the final gambit. The US destabilized it on purpose in 2014, installed a series of governments we could control, made it a ward of US taxpayers, sprinkled it with bio-weapons labs and money laundries, and gave Mr. Zelenskyy the go-ahead to start shelling the Donbas provinces adjacent to Russia. After years of that, Mr. Putin moved to stop it in 2022. The development of drone weapons, along with US-based satellite targeting tech, has prolonged the war. But, of course, the Russians, too, have modernized their own weapons arsenal to match that. The current state of things is a slow Russian grind to defeat a Ukraine that has run out of available fighting men and is apparently short of all weapons besides its drones.
On the campaign trail, Mr. Trump promised to end the Ukraine war in a New York minute. That proved more difficult and complicated than he realized. He said lately in so many words that he has “lost patience” with Mr. Putin for failing to join a ceasefire as a prelude to peace talks. Accordingly, Mr. Trump set a fifty-day deadline and then shortened it to twelve-days, running out on August 8-9 (accounting for time zones). Failure to comply will cause Russia to suffer a new round of sanctions. Mr. Putin has shrugged off that threat, saying that time has proven Russia to be sanction-proofed.
Some kind of game is afoot in all this. Neither Trump nor Putin could possibly want to turn this fiasco in Ukraine into a greater war that will destroy what’s left of Western Civilization. You might find this startling, but for all our efforts to anathemize Russia, it is still a part of Western Civ. After its soviet experiment failed, Russia wanted above all to reintegrate economically with Europe, but the neocons here and the globalists of Europe would not allow that. They became determined instead to wreck Russia — a vicious ethos likely to have emanated from the UK, with its lingering imperial delusions. (For Germany, it has brought only economic suicide.)
You might suspect that Mr. Trump has to pretend to be tough with Russia to counter the still-lingering suspicion — germinated by the Hillary Clinton campaign a decade ago — that he is “Putin’s puppet.” By coincidence, strange or not, that trope is now unraveling with the release of the RussiaGate intel archive that the rogue DOJ and FBI squirreled away since the Trump 1.0 term in office. Mr. Patel found a trove of documentary evidence in a burn-bag in a back room at FBI headquarters. DNI Tulsi Gabbard retrieves more previously-hidden evidence by the day from the vast NSA data base. It ought to be clear now that the initial Hillary Clinton campaign prank metastasized into the worst perversion of abusive government power in our country’s history, and is yet on-going.
The major news organs, who were accomplices in RussiaGate, won’t publish or broadcast any of the recent discoveries about exactly how the hoax evolved into a body of delusion that took over the brains of half of the country and led to a string of additional vicious hoaxes including the Covid-19 operation, the stolen election of 2020, and the J-6 prosecutions. Maybe nothing can be done about the perfidious New York Times or Washington Post because the First Amendment allows lies to be printed within the limits of the libel laws. But the TV networks have additional obligations to the public interest under the broadcast regulations and they can lose their licenses. Perhaps they should and will.
For the moment, realize that we are in the middle of a maelstrom. Arrests and prosecutions are coming, and Mr. Trump’s clock is ticking on the Ukraine war. Upping the ante on the war is the last thing our country needs. The RussiaGate disclosures afford the president an out on his strong-arm tactics with Mr. Putin and his support of the Zelensky regime."

"Peru's Greatest Mystery –
Megalithic Ruins No Human Could Ever Build"
"Ollantaytambo, nestled in Peru’s Sacred Valley, is one of the world’s most mysterious ancient sites. Known for its massive megalithic stonework, the site features perfectly cut granite blocks weighing up to 70 tons - fitted so precisely that not even a blade can slip between them. While the Incas are credited with their development, the precision, scale, and unexplained tool marks suggest a much older, advanced civilization. Strange knobs, drill holes, and melted stone surfaces raise questions about forgotten technologies. Ollantaytambo isn't just a ruin - it's a challenge to history itself, urging us to rethink what ancient civilizations were truly capable of."

"A Look to the Heavens"
"The small, northern constellation Triangulum harbors this magnificent face-on spiral galaxy, M33. Its popular names include the Pinwheel Galaxy or just the Triangulum Galaxy. M33 is over 50,000 light-years in diameter, third largest in the Local Group of galaxies after the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), and our own Milky Way. About 3 million light-years from the Milky Way, M33 is itself thought to be a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy and astronomers in these two galaxies would likely have spectacular views of each other's grand spiral star systems.
As for the view from planet Earth, this sharp image shows off M33's blue star clusters and pinkish star forming regions along the galaxy's loosely wound spiral arms. In fact, the cavernous NGC 604 is the brightest star forming region, seen here at about the 4 o'clock position from the galaxy center. Like M31, M33's population of well-measured variable stars have helped make this nearby spiral a cosmic yardstick for establishing the distance scale of the Universe."

We can get the car out or go to a party or to the cinema or read a detective story or have a row with a district council or write a letter to the papers about the habits of the nightjar or Shakespeare's use of nautical metaphor.

Greg Hunter, "Clot Coverup from CV19 Vax"
"Clot Coverup from CV19 Vax"
by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
Retired Air Force Major Tom Haviland has been on a mission to uncover all the gruesome material that was being reportedly pulled out of the veins and arteries of the CV19 vaxed. For the past there years in a row, Haviland has been asking embalmers in the “Worldwide Embalmer Blood Clot Survey” what mortuary workers are finding in the bodies they are preparing for burial. Back in April on USAWatchdog, Haviland said, “I surveyed embalmers all around the world in the United States, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. In my latest survey at the end of 2024, 301 embalmers did respond. 250 of them, or 83%, said they are still seeing the unusual white fibrous clots in the veins and arteries of their corpses.”
So, why is this not a huge story that the more than 5.5 billion CV19 vaxed should know about? Haviland thinks there is a clot coverup from the CV19 vax going on. Haviland found one vascular doctor who is consistently pulling long fibrous clots out of his patients since the CV19 shot rollout in 2021. Haviland says doctors are being threatened to keep quiet about fibrous clots in living patients. Haviland explains, “I was introduced to this gentleman Dr. Mohannad Bisharat, who is an endovascular specialist and cardiologist in Jacksonville, Florida. He admitted to me he had been removing these same white fibrous clots from living people in the last four years. He calls them ‘devious clots.’ I am showing you a fibrous clot still covered in blood (that Dr. Bisharat removed). When the blood is washed off, that will become a white fibrous clot. What is interesting is later that month, that same doctor Bisharat sent me this email. It says, ‘I was instructed to immediately terminate all communications in this regard. Sorry, apologies for the inconvenience.’ So, somebody got to him. Probably somebody at the hospital said, hey, we want you to stop talking about this. Don’t bring this up or else we will come after your license. We will take away your board certification and your ability to practice. The same thing could happen to him as people like Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Ryan Cole and Dr. Pierre Kory. The medical cartel came after them and their licenses and board certifications. So, obviously, Dr. Bisharat is afraid to speak out.”
That is not the only way the “Clot Coverup from CV19 Vax” is taking place. The Lying Legacy Media (LLM), who take billions in advertising dollars from Big Pharma, are keeping quiet and gaslighting the public. They seem to want people getting the CV19 vax and resulting death and disability to think it is simply just a few unlucky people, when millions are killed or injured by the CV19 bioweapon vax. So, that leaves the heavyweights of Alt Media to ride to the rescue and blow the whistle on the CV19 clot coverup - Wrong! Haviland has tried for three years to get on with the heavyweights in Alt Media to get the word out. Haviland tried in person to get Tucker Carlson to interview him about his astounding findings that are backed up by bonafide science. There were NO takers. Haviland says, “I paid $1,600 last September to go see Tucker Carlson in person to get a 30 second photo op with him, and I actually gave him one of these vials with the clots. I gave another vial to his producer Samantha and all the information to her to get on Tucker’s show. It’s not just to be on his show, but I want to get this important information out about these clots. Tucker has failed to contact me.”
None of the other big names in Alt Media have gotten back with Haviland either, and this includes Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly and Joe Rogan. Haviland even wrote a post about getting rebuffed by the big cowardly Alt Media names on his Substack called Clotastrophe. All I can say is SHAME on you all!" There is much more in the 42-minute interview.
Join Greg Hunter on Rumble as he goes One-on-One with Tom Haviland to do a deep dive into the “Worldwide Embalmer Blood Clot Survey” and why there is a gigantic “Clot Coverup from the CV19 Vax.”
After the Interview: There is lots for free information on Laura Kasner’s Substack called “Clotastrophe.” This is where Tom Haviland posts his survey work. He has a new post called “Tucker, Glenn, Megyn, and Joe REFUSE to Address Embalmers’ Clots.” There is zero charge to visit this site. Tom Haviland accepts zero compensation for his work.
This has been called "the greatest organized mass murder in the history of the world."
It is, and God help you if you've taken this shot...
"After All..."
“The acceptance of ambiguity implies more than the commonplace understanding that some good things and some bad things happen to us. It means that we know that good and evil are inextricably intermixed in human affairs; that they contain, and sometimes embrace, their opposites; that success may involve failure of a different kind, and failure may be a kind of triumph.”

"Debt, War, and Energy: Fourth Turning Climax by 2032"
"Debt, War, and Energy:
Fourth Turning Climax by 2032"
By Ivor
"Geopolitics: Analysts have noted heightened risks of conflict as we enter the final leg of the Fourth Turning, pointing to escalating Israel-Iran tensions, US and EU interactions with Russia, and the potential for broader geopolitical strife influenced by technology and strategic interests. The Fourth Turning is reportedly expected to climax prior to 2032.
According to Russian state news agency TASS, Russian intelligence claims that the US and UK are holding secret talks with Ukrainian officials to replace President Volodymyr Zelensky with former Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny, reportedly discussed at an Alpine resort. This claim remains unverified. Some Western reports have also suggested Zaluzhny as a potential successor amid declining support for Zelensky. However, the Ukrainian presidential office, through Andrey Yermak, has denied allegations of secret meetings to replace Zelensky, labeling them as Russian propaganda.
Separately, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia has developed “immunity” to sanctions, responding to President Trump’s 10-day ultimatum for a Ukraine ceasefire. Trump envoy Keith Kellogg stated that oil sanctions on Russia could have a significant impact if enforced effectively, targeting the country’s 7 million daily barrel exports. The Kremlin, however, has downplayed the potential effects. Internet disruptions and calls for cash reliance in Russia indicate possible internal preparations for further pressure.
Meanwhile, Trump is reportedly considering a 30% reduction of US troops in Europe, which could affect approximately 20,000 of the 90,000-100,000 currently stationed there, as part of a broader military posture review. With significant bases in Germany and Poland, this potential shift aligns with a focus on regions like the Indo-Pacific and budgetary considerations. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has stated that this move would encourage European allies to strengthen their own defense capabilities. NATO, however, has expressed concern that a reduced US presence could undermine regional stability and deterrence against aggression.
Finally, Iran is reportedly considering a shift from GPS to China’s BeiDou navigation system due to security concerns following GPS disruptions during recent conflicts, signaling a potential move toward non-Western technology infrastructure.
Economy: Global economic indicators show varied trends. US government debt has increased by $519 billion since the debt ceiling was raised in July, reaching $36.73 trillion, with projections estimating $37.8 trillion by year’s end due to Treasury auctions in the bond market. Michael Snyder has drawn comparisons to 2008, pointing to parallels seen in Las Vegas. Hotel occupancy has dropped by over 14%, casino revenues have declined, and unemployment has risen alongside a weakening housing market.
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank head warned that without central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), central banks risk losing control over economic systems to alternatives like Bitcoin, highlighting the need for digital payment innovation amid growing public interest.
Energy: In Wyoming, a large AI data center in Cheyenne is planned to consume up to five times the state’s residential power usage, with a proposed 1.8-gigawatt facility that could scale to 10 gigawatts. The tech company behind the project has not been disclosed. Wyoming, a leading US energy exporter, may face increased electricity costs for residents due to this development. Greenpeace has also raised concerns about the environmental impact of the Wyoming data center, warning that its massive energy consumption could undermine renewable energy efforts.
In Europe, the EU’s commitment to purchase $750 billion in US energy over three years has been questioned by analysts from Rabobank and Kpler, who argue that achieving this target would require an unrealistic 67% reliance on US energy, given current imports of €65 billion annually. This could strain market dynamics and conflict with Europe’s clean energy objectives, according to these analysts.
European Politics: In Manchester, UK, police arrested 35-year-old theatre worker Samuel Rowe in his garden after mistaking his gardening tools for weapons. Rowe was trimming his hedge with a small sickle and carrying a sheathed Japanese weeding trowel when officers, responding to a public report, detained him. The tools were described by police as a “large dagger” and a “peeling knife,” resulting in a caution. Rowe has expressed concern that this could impact his career. This incident occurs within the context of UK laws on offensive weapons, which include exceptions for work-related tools but can still lead to arrests. Manchester Police defended their actions, stating they acted on a concerned citizen’s report and prioritized public safety, while acknowledging the tools were indeed gardening implements, as reported by BBC News."
