After being "encouraged" to leave several countries of Asia due to my attempts at instilling truthful journalism among their youth and resistance to censorship, I have since been traveling throughout the USA. Sniffing around much like an old wolf out of its cage and reintroduced to nature, I feel that it's good to be lean and hungry, even though I am surprised at how the deer cannot figure road kill and the sheep remain content behind electric wire. During the many decades of my absence, other than to the West Coast and New York, which have hardly any resemblance to the rest of the country other than the criminality of politicians. The vast middle stretches of the not-so New World is different from my college days in Indiana, enjoying now with trappings of prosperity thanks to Dollar stores while families suffer the same old financial insecurity. The more things change, as the saying goes. Today's nemesis is the repressive COVID overkill of distancing and business closures, not much different from the Arab oil embargo of the 1970s. The heavy hand of bureaucracy is heavier depending on the state, Pennsylvania's green new deal killing off agriculture and animal husbandry as opposed to Wyoming, which buffalo and cowboys still roam. It is depressing to realized the near-total disappearance of the horse-and-cowboy culture, with pastures rolling with hay for Angus herds now that filling the belly has become more of a priority than riding high in the saddle. Despite the sadness in the air and decline in rules of the road, there are still glimmers of America's former greatness of spirit, which hopefully can be revived in an uphill battle against sloth, gluttony, medication and mindless greed. Jacksonian Values Just a few days ago my appreciation for American courage was refreshed on a visit to the Hermitage, the historic home of President Andrew Jackson, that youthful hero of the Revolutionary War and undaunted victor at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. The frugal Tennessee general and grassroots politician was able to use the cheap local lumber, beams and boards of poplar ash, to create the appearance of classical Grecian grandeur for his mansion, as it were built with stone, his objective being to connect the rugged values of populist democracy on the frontier with distant ancient roots, freedom of thought and action being characteristics of a sovereign people. I was surprised to learn that an elderly Marquis de Lafayette had a similar admiration of the homespun simplicity behind the elegant facade on his visit to Nashville in 1825. The Marquis and Old Hickory are heroes of yore and for ages to come, although ignored in the present era of craven self-interest, hypocritical political correctness and unabashed fraud as a lifestyle. And worse, not snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays our nation's postal workers from the swift completion of their appointed ballot stuffing. Say it ain't so, Joe! Even Amazon and DoorDash do not limit their delivery service to Democrats. I hate to admit it, it's proof that the USPS should be privatized, to be rid of Tammany Hall influence. Old Faithful My other gripe about this once great democracy has to do with the public's utter loss of faith from sea to radioactivity-poisoned sea. Along every byway that I've traveled, from the two-lane Tina Turner Highway in Georgia to Bear Tooth Pass between Wyoming and Montana, all the churches are locked up, parking lots empty and curtains drawn, with neither pastor nor deacon willing to risk offering a prayer or dispensing a chalice of wine in this year of coronavirus and electoral fraud. A silent crisis of state and religion is obliterating this nation's traditional values. American values are being killed off not just by the infection rate or digital sloth or mindless arson but more from the unrelenting intent by our worst sworn enemy, as astutely predicted by the Marquis de Lafayette. "It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country, the United States of America, are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated most of the wars of Europe." So what's it have to do with Joe Biden, a member in good standing in the Knights of Malta, servant of the Illuminati Order of the British Empire and Jesuit CIA spy? Nothing to a mind-controlled clone, everything if one happens to be a patriot. Crimes of Uncle Joe Briefly, the objective of the Biden vote-buying operation is World War III, starting with a NATO assault against Russia, in short a revival of the Eastward Expansion policy of the Clinton era. The effectiveness of drones against battle tanks is seen by Agency tacticians as enabling at last the technical means to defeat Russian armored forces. The deeper motive involves the historical drive of the Jesuits, as led by Jesuit-trained intel execs like Bill Donovan, Casey, Angleton and Dulles to exterminate the Orthodox Church of Russia, which has lasting ties with the churches of the East, including those ancient faith communities in the Aramaic-speaking region of Jesus of Galilee. The Vatican's sectarian vendetta that began with the Great Schism has since morphed into unholy alliances with the Hapsburg empire, its Frankist Jewish spies, the Rothschild Illuminati, and institutionalized by the Society of Jesus IHS, the Jesuits. For agnostics and non-Christian, it is sufficient to realize that the concentration of secular and military power by manipulative pseudo-religious fanatics perverting the mass media, AI and chipping tech is completely unacceptable and the Biden cabal must be stopped by the appropriate means in every situation. In this geopolitical perspective, the Bidens' intrigues in Ukraine figure massively in the Jesuit-NATO preparations for a coming invasion of Russia, Belarus and Central Asia, and when that bloody work is done, Iran and China before victory in WWIII is declared by whoever is left standing. For Christians, only one word is needed to describe this looming Age of Evil, that being "Antichrist", which translates to the secularists as a big Bad Apple. Biden's Foreign Intrigues Here are other points that should encourage a serious and thorough investigation into election fraud by the Jesuit-controlled Biden-Pelosi criminal cabal. Biden soon thereafter returned to China as a freshman senator fronting for the CIA. As it turns out the airplane escape of the infamous leftist Lin Piao to evade arrest in Beijing was not toward the Soviet Union as in the official claim, but as revealed to me recently by a military intelligence officer actually destined for Alaska. The CIA and the Red Guards were partners in war crimes by then, involved in looting and sabotaging Chinese cargo trains loaded with war materiel destined for North Vietnam. The Sino-CIA relationship survived Lin Piao as the Soviet split continued to widen, culminating in their joint support for the Vatican's warlord Joseph Savimbi in the Angola wars, which killed more than 2 million civilians. Thus, the China link goes much deeper than bag-man Hunter Biden's lobbying for Beijing on Capitol Hill, which was just a small part of the funding flow from Beijing to Langley, Virginia, as an IOU to the CIA. The Jesuit connections with China began in the 18th century mission of priest Matteo Ricci, as a papal emissary to the court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and have since never relented, with the continuing presence of Jesuits in Macau, a base for liaison and cooperation on the mainland. Much of the anti-American tilt of late across Asia and Europe is a coordinated policy of the Jesuit order aimed at quelling the conservative American Catholic faction over Taiwan and Hong Kong policy, and suppressing any other points of resistance. Francis, the gray pontiff, being both white and black popes, must feel a kindred spirit with the ambiguous Bidens. The HIV Blood Factor During the George W. Bush and Bill Clinton admins, Joe Biden took a point-man role in fomenting and sponsoring the CIA operations against Yugoslavia. As a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden was the Jesuit point-man for NATO interventions against Yugoslavia, especially Croatia where pro-Mussolini fascist-era death squads were revived by the CIA and British-led Special Air Service against the predominantly Orthodox Christian Serbs. NATO eastward expansion was actually a latter-day crusade. The Balkans intervention took a horrendous turn when the Jesuit-linked "charity" Americares flew pallets of Factor IV (Four) blood tainted with HIV into the Balkans war zone. The HIV-infected serum was collected at Arkansas state prisons while Bill Clinton was governor of that state and running cocaine shipments from war-torn Central America into Mena Airfield in western Arkansas. The Factor IV flights left from Connecticut to Shannon Airport, a CIA-Provo IRA safe haven for drugs and weapons (like the CIA bomb used by its Provo IRA agents to assassinate Lord Montbatten); then onto a cargo terminal in Frankfurt, Germany, where it was met by Jesuit priests involved in Balkans covert weapons shipment; and then to Zagreb, Croatia, for distribution by a CIA-funded local hospital administrator-physician to unknowing war-wound victims in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo. The purpose of deliberate infection of warring communities was to find an ethnic group with inherent HIV resistance in the biologically diverse and physically isolated Balkans communities. The Obama appointee Jim Yong Kim as the World Bank chief resulted in absurdly low infection estimatess with rigged data to hide the extent of this war crime of medical abuse in Balkans, of which Joe Biden and his fellow Jesuit spooks were and are guilty to the brink of damnation. Faith is sometimes just a fig leaf to cover over evil. Meanwhile, the Ukraine-Russia conflict is simmering and remains under-reported in the State Department's CIA-complicit media. Hunter Biden's absurdly generous payments from Burisma, according to one of my sources, was not simply to bribe his father and the Obama cronies, but had everything to do with payment for secret weapons shipments in the conflict with Russian-backed militias in the eastern Donetsk region. The CIA executives are profiting as middleman in that trade with international arms dealers. The Bidens are brutal murderers whose toes properly should be stretched on the same gallows as that other Jesuit stooge Benito Mussolini. Tony Fauci, another Jesuit agent, is responsible for using NIH funds for the bioweapon engineering of COVID-19 in Wisconsin, Manitoba and Bristol, England, as tracked in my 27-part series. Mass murder is a capital offense, which the Supreme Court has managed to ignore. Jesuit-Illuminati Linkages Let me conclude with the connection of the Jesuits and the Illuminati with Joe Biden's nomination and personal accompaniment of Mike Bloomberg to his knighting by the Queen of England into the royal order of the Knights of the British Empire (KBE), as discussed in my in-depth article on Bloomie, which apparently has been censored by the CIA, British intel and the Rothschilds. The Jesuit-Illuminati link is based on Adam Weiskopf's personal evolution as a Jesuit novice to found the Illuminism. Any doubters among the PC academics should read Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Travels in Italy, which includes his praise of the papal-banned Jesuits at the ruins of their former college in Brera, northern Italy. Goethe was the leading light of the Illuminati in the late 18th century. Assuredly, it all goes deeper and wider, and religion and political correctness are being used as cover for mass murder on a global scale. The Marquis de Lafayette and Andrew Jackson were the saviors of this country, but in contrast the Bidens, Clintons, Obamas and Pelosi et al are damning a once-fine nation to the lower depths of hell. So stand with what's right to break their evil spell. To quote Andrew Jackson: "The Bible is the rock upon which this Republic rests." It's high time to reopen the church doors to break the demonic spell that grips this great land.

Biden Is A Brutal Enforcer Of The Jesuit-Illuminati Globalist Warmongers
Tuesday, December 15, 2020
DYING CAPITALISM & THE NEW FEUDALISM
American exceptionalism, as current COVID and capitalism disasters confirm, has morphed into a distortion that resembles more of a comorbidity than a guiding light.
Despite a prior reputation for leading the world in innovation, problem solving and health care, the U.S. is witnessing record hospitalizations in a nation comprising 5% of the global population yet 25% of its COVID infections.
Regardless of one’s politics, the COVID crisis is now an open symptom of failure, not exceptionalism.
The same is true of the current crisis facing American capitalism.
In its purest form, capitalism is an exceptional system, yet sadly one that is morphing into something that is anything but exceptional.
A CRITICAL TURNING POINT
Regardless of legitimately debatable views on how individuals and policy makers (from central bankers to health organizations) have handled the pandemic, we can all agree that COVID represents a turning point.
The question now is whether it will be a turning point for the worse or the better.
One way to forecast this direction is by tracking the current health of U.S. capitalism.
CAPITALISM RE-ASSESSED
Today, with central banks engaged in open Wall Street socialism wherein artificially repressed rates and unlimited QE have directly benefited the two largest asset classes in America, namely real estate and stocks, we can’t deny the cause-and-effect powers (as well as beneficiaries) of such “accommodation.”
It’s an objective fact that 80 % of those assets are owned by the top 10%.
Does that feel like capitalism working at a national level, or something far more targeted and far less “free-market” driven?
The very concept of central-bank supported (and Congress-lobbied) capitalism is itself an oxymoron, and requires on honest re-assessment (and some hard questions) regarding the true meaning of capitalism.
Can any system, market or sector, for example, that is directly and exclusively supported by trillions in fiat money creation and decades of artificially repressed (and unnaturally low) interest rates by definition be labeled “free market,” “natural” or even “capitalistic”?
Be honest.
And has the $6+ trillion in Fed money creation since 2008 truly “trickled down” to the real economy or has it primarily benefited risk asset markets like stocks on the S&P 500…
…or real estate owners and commission-based brokers:
Again: Be honest.
Whether you be in the top 10% or the bottom 10%, the answer to such primary questions is empirically obvious.
Such asset price inflation (i.e. bubbles) in everything from tech stocks to beach front real estate is not symbolic of the lauded and natural “Darwinism” of competitive, free-market capitalism.
Instead, such bubbles for the top 10% and the consequent wealth disparity that followed for the rest of the country are dangerous indicators of a kind of post-modern feudalism wherein a questionable cabal of policy makers subsidizes a distinct minority of beneficiaries and then calls the result “economic stimulus” as the rest of the country gets poorer by the day.
But again, is that capitalism?
Capitalism, whether defined by Adam Smith or abused by Gordon Gecko, is a dynamic, full-body contact sport of almost blood-thirsty competition played on a level playing field of new ideas, equal capital costs and individual effort.
In addition, true capitalism, the kind our fathers knew, was equally designed to create a broad rather than narrow class of winners and prosperity over time.
Do the above charts suggest a broad class of winners?
Capitalism, of course, should reward executives. But by how much?
Since 1978, CEO compensation has grown by 940%, whereas worker compensation for the same period has grown by 12%. In 1965, the average ratio of CEO to median employee salaries was 21:1, today it’s over 320:1.
For Jeff Bezos at Amazon, the ratio is 1.2 million to 1.
Is such data a sign of an evolving capitalism or an indicator of something far more disturbing?
FAIR COMPETITION VS. A RIGGED GAME
Unfortunately, there are other and increasingly clear signs of rigged policies (from the Fed, Congress, SEC or White House) which have less to do with fair competition and compensation—the keystones of healthy capitalism—and far more do with an extended yet media-ignored paradigm of favoritism—i.e. cheating.
Today, a kind of pseudo capitalism has emerged which is neither empathetic toward (or beneficial to) its host nation.
Instead, we have a distorted model of capitalism whose benefits and empathies are uniquely targeted to a singular (parasitic?) group of companies, individuals and markets.
For every member of Congress, for example, there are at least four financial lobbyists (from banks and big-tech) scurrying to influence (i.e. purchase) favorable policy decisions.
This suggests healthy capitalism is under the influence of bribery not policy, and backroom deals rather than fair competition.
Of course, any system that is inherently rigged, like the 1919 World Series, is inherently flawed.
Capitalism, when rigged, is no less disgraceful.
We see this rigged game playing out in real time as the weak majority get weaker and the strong minority get stronger in a backdrop that is not a capitalistic “survival of the fittest,” but rather a feudalistic survival of the best-connected.
Record breaking wealth disparity as well as the open and shameful disconnect between a tanking economy and a rising (Fed-supported) securities market is not an homage to capitalism, but rather open proof of its failure.
TESLA, APPLE AND AMAZON—THE NEW CAPITALISM?
Take Tesla. It’s a visionary company, but its stock has been skyrocketing on growth projections and historically low borrowing costs, easily managed by exaggerated share price inflation.
In March, it was the 4th most valuable auto company in the world, today it is now the most valuable, worth more than Daimler, Toyota and Volkswagen combined.
Or Apple. It took 12 years to get a $1 trillion market cap, but only 5 months to recently reach $2 trillion.
Are such growth stories a consequence of fair, legitimate and natural free-market capitalism, or have they enjoyed an unfair advantage from the policy jocks?
Consider Amazon.
With online sales skyrocketing as citizens are locked at home, Amazon has hired hundreds of thousands of minimum-wage warehouse workers to keep boxes coming to your doorsteps.
We can applaud Amazon for its job creation and raising of the minimum wage.
But let us not forget the larger picture in which AMAZON has gamified municipalities through its absurd HQ2 plan which transfers wealth from city police, fire and school districts to its shareholders.
Nor should we forget that despite years of a profitless balance sheet and legal tax avoidance, Amazon’s share price bubble has allowed it to literally kill, gut and bury small businesses across the nation.
At the same time, by owning the rails and engaging in anti-competitive behavior while dumping products and prices due to their access to cheap capital (against which no other companies can compete), Amazon has slaughtered rather than leveled the fair “playing field” upon which true capitalism was designed to be played.
Instead, names like Amazon, Tesla and Apple have prompted openly pro-capitalist thought leaders like Scott Galloway to question whether the pandemic was created, or at least co-opted, for taking the top 10% into the top 1% while sending the remaining 90% downward.
TWO AMERICAS, ZERO CAPITALISM
A recent study by the Robin Hood Foundation, for example, revealed that 32% of the people in New York, the homefield of Wall Street, have been forced to go to a food bank since the onset of the pandemic.
That’s more people in the Empire State seeking free food than those who possess a college degree.
Meanwhile, 1/3 of greater America is worried about paying their rent.
By pure math, we now live in a Dickinsonian backdrop by which it is the “best of times” for a tiny minority (from Face-shot real estate brokers to Facebook tech investors) and the “worst of times” for the broader population.
Is it truly fair to castigate the real America as “losers” in a so-called Capitalistic competition whose rigged rules and policies ensured who the winners would be before the game could even start?
The rigged game playing right under our noses in the U.S. is not free market capitalism, just as an S&P sitting atop a big, fat, $7+ trillion Fed air-bag, sure as hell aint a free market.
Natural price discovery, as all honest Wall Street veterans know, died years ago. Nod to Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen and Powell.
As a member of the Wall Street elite who benefited from such anti-capitalistic capitalism, I can’t ignore facts to alleviate a fake conscience.
The simple truth is that current U.S. markets, competition and politics have nothing to do with fair competition and hence nothing to do with capitalism.
THE NEW FEUDALISM
As Galloway recently observed, “we are barreling toward a nation where 3 million lords are being served by 350 million serfs,” simply because US policy decided to favor corporations over populations as capitalism “collapses upon itself.”
Nor can this modern version of so-called capitalism rely on the “better angel” generosities of billionaires like Bezos or Musk to save the system.
The moral character of overpaid CEO’s will not bring the dying middle class back to its glory days.
Frankly, it’s up to the citizens themselves to get informed rather than angry.
Knowledge begets better results than pitch forks.
America is falling not just because capitalism lost its way or policy-supported CEO’s lack the character and accountabilities of the past.
It’s because citizens and their lobbied (bribed) leaders—red, blue and purple–have lost their sanity and are screaming at each other rather than opening a single economics, math, ethics, history or anti-trust book.
Today, the crowd gets its education from tweets and twits, not informed thoughts, sound leadership and patient knowledge or actual book reading.
BREAD & CIRCUS, FEAR & DIVISION
This, of course, makes the mal-informed majority (i.e. the bottom 90%) easier to trick and manipulate.
Decision-makers on top, from ancient Rome to Herr Goebbels, have always understood, and hence exploited, such wide-spread ignorance.
In short, policy anti-heroes serve a mal-informed population a mixed cocktail of either: 1) bread & circus (from Netflix to celebrity virtue-signaling) or 2) fear (from “social-distancing” to COVID death rates) to keep the crowd ignorant, divided and afraid.
Today, most U.S. citizens are blind to the rudimentary basics of Fed policy, currency debasement, lobbying tricks, anti-trust principles, or even viral facts.
Thus, as the middle-class flounders and a new financial feudalism replaces genuine capitalism, the mad crowd has no idea where to place its madness other than at each other in an historically divisive era of identity politics replacing anything resembling informed and unifying politics or policies.
Meanwhile, Amazon’s stock climbs as true capitalism crawls, and ancient assets like gold rise, as broken currencies like the dollar, fall.
Such are the symptoms of modern feudalism. Get ready for more.

HUNTING FOR DISRUPTION AND 100X RETURNS
We all know in hindsight that it's so easy to sit on Bitcoin, Amazon or Microsoft stock, but how do we know in the future which assets will return like that? We all know that some Pre IPO company is going to be the next Palantir. We don't, so we are left to stock picking (or asset picking if you will). But actually stock picking is not so hard - what's hard is what any trader will tell you, and that's picking entries and exits. For example, there certainly were those who bought BTC in the early days. This author bought some below $1. Guess what happened? Got hacked at Mt.Gox. Then I know about the group that bought Bitcoin at $1 and sold it at $80 for a whopping 80x return on their money (and it was a lot of money). The point is that, picking the asset is not hard, timing the entry and the exit is. Doing that is not easy, here is one suggested method:
LOOK FOR DISRUPTION.
Palantir is very disruptive. It took the market years to realize that. First they needed to manifest an IPO. Now that Palantir is public, it's doing great. Palantir solves a problem that frankly no other company in the world solves.
Lyft and Uber are NOT disruptive. They are apps that replaced the Taxi manager. There is little profit in delivery, particularly food delivery. If you look past the hype, the gig economy is just an advanced form of modern slavery.
Airbnb is different, because if you compare it to companies like Uber, it's not just replacing the hotel - it's unlocking new markets. Airbnb is much as a real estate play as it gets. How many Airbnb hosts are huge stock holders? How much property has been purchased and refurbished to host guests? The traditional Hotel industry will always have it's core customers, but like restaurants, the industry grew fat and inefficient. Airbnb cut that out. Now hotels try to be like Airbnb. It's all about the presentation and the business model. The question is - did Airbnb get people to travel more? Of course! Also, the margins are much higher in the hotel industry. Companies like Rubrik, these are the next Snowflake's.
Brokers are popping up left and right offering access to private markets, such as LevelX. But as with any hot market, so does the fraud. Sources tell us that there are multiple SEC investigations into fraudulent "Pre IPO" shops selling fake shares, selling naked, and other fraudulent practices. In one example, a customer sent funds in for a Pre IPO investment, only to have the funds returned 6 months later - minus a fee! A fee for 'trying.'
Pre IPO is not the only place to find disruption of course, but it's a good start. Early stage companies still have many bugs to be worked out and have not proven themselves. For many investors, Pre IPO unicorns are the perfect mix of risk and reward, as seen in this chart:
(Source: Preiposwap.com)
The math works over a wide range of investments being studied. All types of risk decline over time - the older a company is, the more credibility it has. Exceptions to the rule include situations like Enron, Madoff, MF Global, Refco, and others. It's rare to see a big firm implode due to fraud or other reasons. Typically, big firms simply fail to adapt to changing circumstances, such as we have seen with Revlon (REV) Kodak (KODK) and others.
Earlier seed stage companies, as depicted in Phase 1 on the above chart, simply have too much risk. Venture Capital is a very unique thing. You invest in 100 companies knowing that 99 will fail and the 1 that works is going to earn a 100x return or 1000x return. It's really a very special part of capitalism. Venture Funds try to spread this out by offering funds that invest in 50, 100, or 200 deals. Sadly, the only reason that many companies succeed is because the backers have so much capital to throw at problems they almost never let a deal fail (but it does happen).
Pre IPO seems to be the best mix for the search for disruption.
What about Crypto?
Crypto is also very disruptive, but the issue is credibility. Crediblock.com was founded on the idea of brining credibility to financial technology. Some Crypto projects such as xSigma, that are backed by public companies, at least have some substance of what you would call due diligence. Many however, are created by anonymous founders, and no one knows where the money is going.
There are disruptive investments, such as Crypto arbitrage, that we can't reference here with a link because they are all dark investments (meaning, they don't solicit investors, they don't have a website).
The most disruptive companies though can be local. While small businesses are being attacked, many of them are getting creative. Solutions will emerge and new industries will form. Dark kitchens are the future of restaurants.
Advertising is going to evolve, as users boycott crap platforms like Facebook. Take a look at how Wrapify is paying people to drive around with ads on their cars.
A company from Los Angeles called QLess has literally ended waiting in line! See QLess Crunchbase.
We're not going to mention the 2 taboo topics for fear of our authorship and personal life- voting systems and COVID. But we're going to see massive disruption there.
According to Zanbato.com, Pre IPO sectors that are hot and cold, according to their reports, are:
Reported Holdings as of August 31st, 2020:
- For a third consecutive month, reporting holders marked up their private portfolios. August’s advance of 6.8% was lower than July’s 7.6% appreciation, despite a better than 2:1 advance-decline ratio.
- Sentiment up:
- Private Companies: Freenome96.1% Farmers Business Network 91.7% Seismic89.6% Snowflake81.1%
- Sectors: Payments, Artificial Intelligence, Delivery Services
- Sentiment down:
- Private Companies: Intarcia Therapeutics-85.7% Magic Leap-70.7% Yumanity-44.8% 23andMe-31.6%
- Sectors: Gaming & Entertainment, Healthcare, Consumer Goods & Services
This data is old, but the point remains - companies will provide opportunities to disrupt. Either find the companies and invest in them, or found one. This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
It's true, all these 'conspiracies' are really true. A small group of rich people is trying to take over the world and install a global Monopoly regime. But these are business guys, they are not 'Communists' that's just a red herring for idiot Democrats. They are hardcore business guys, and this is a great opportunity for business.
Of all the scenarios that may come of the next 60 days there is one that few are talking about. USA can split up into multiple countries, each managed by a regional Fed. This would be a bonanza for business, just like if the EU was broken up. Superstates don't work, and that's why this author does not believe the Elite will succeed in their plan. Ultimately, there are going to be too many black swans that you can't hedge against, and the system will implode. That's what happened to the Soviet Union. And to this day, Russia sucks (to live in).
Capitalism works, and what drives Capitalism is Entrepreneurs, investing, and risk.
Monopoly, what 'they' want to create - it just doesn't work. But in the process of creating the global Monopoly they want, they need to create massive opportunities as the rules of the game are changing, assets are shifting hands, and they are really pushing their agenda hard.
2021 is the year of Game On.
Trade stocks free (but don't get front-run) with LevelX, a real disruptor. Also buy/sell private markets, if you are accredited.

The Gig Economy Is White People Discovering Servants
At some point in the last century Americans, having gotten rid of slavery, accidentally lifted their incomes so much that they found themselves isolated in suburban houses, surrounded by machinery, cleaning their own toilets. They had rising incomes but everyone’s incomes were rising which means that there was no one to do stuff for you, and you couldn’t just buy people anymore.
This century the vaunted American middle class has bottomed out and the place has started to look more like the ‘developing’ world, with a definite underclass. However, lacking generations of feudal tradition and clinging to the myth of being a classless society, Americans couldn’t just bring servants into their homes. So venture capitalists did it for them.
Uber and Postmates and DoorDash and all of these ‘gig’ economy companies simply created a giant pool of servants that you could call on demand. That’s all they really do. The gig economy is just a giant collection of servants.
I should know. I have servants.
I live in Sri Lanka and despite always making below the US poverty line (about $2000 a month), that is a shit-ton of money here. I have also generally lived with family that pools resources. Hence I have (and have often had) a driver. This driver can go and pick stuff up as well. So that’s Uber and Postmates rolled into one. If you have a good driver they can do lots of things.
My family or my wife’s family also have cooks, which makes DoorDash (food delivery) largely irrelevant, but again, there’s also the driver for that.
Then of course there are cleaners and people to do laundry, which I have always had, even when I lived alone, because it makes life so much better. It has always amazed me that quite wealthy people in the west still clean their toilets and fold clothes. Silicon Valley hasn’t quite yet figured that one out, though WeWork has serviced offices where all the cleaning and janitorial are taken care of.
I still use ride hailing and food delivery services, but the fact is that the core functionality of these apps — despite all their fancy technology — is not significantly different than having a servant. What the technology has done is pool the servants, make them available to more people, make it easier to communicate tasks, and — most importantly — make it possible to not think of them as servants at all.
But that is what people in the gig economy are. They drive you around, they run errands for you, they bring you food. There’s a lot of hype and billionaires around that fact that an increasing unequal society has rediscovered servants, and given it a new name. If you strip away the hype and get to the core functionality, the gig economy is just a distributed servant class.
This is not a revolution as much as it is a return. In Sri Lanka decades ago you would get fresh milk delivered to your door. Today you get bread, vegetables, fish and brooms and brushes peddled door-to-door. Make that ‘on-demand’, scale it up with venture money and you’ve got a startup, but it’s still basically the same thing.
For all the algorithms companies have thrown at the problem they still can’t find a way to pay great wages, even after massive subsidization, so it’s not like they revolutionized that troubling part of the servant situation either. And they still skirt labor laws, which sadly don’t apply to most domestic workers. For all the vaunted efficiency gains of technology, it’s still not so efficient that it’s changed the basic economics of menial tasks. In ‘developing’ countries being a gig worker can be a step up, but it’s hard to argue this in countries which have already moved on and expect more.
The gig economy is just white people re-discovering servants. That’s really all it is. It offers the same conveniences as centuries past, or ‘developing’ countries now, but also comes with the same economic and ethical issues. As much AI or even automation as you throw at it, you still have poorer people doing stuff you don’t want to do for not really enough money.
The real disruption would be something that renders the gig economy or servant class empty, because it lifts living standards for so many. Something that creates actual middle class jobs and lifts real family incomes across the board. In the past these have been government infrastructure programs, or opening up to free trade, or allowing more free movement of people. But those policies aren’t sexy and they don’t have an app.
But we shouldn’t mistake gig economy company’s for more than what they are. They deliver convenience, not prosperity. They touch millions of lives, but only in a superficial way.
As it is, however, the gig economy is a symptom of rising inequality, not a solution. For countries that haven’t had servants the difference seems truly revolutionary, but in reality they are just stepping back into the ‘developing’ world, hiding the ugly parts behind a gilded screen.

DoD de-fangs the CIA, 305th intel proves foreign interference, SCOTUS maneuvers
(Natural News) All the pieces are falling into place for a Trump victory. The circle is nearly complete.
In today’s Situation Update (for Dec. 11th), we bring you an astonishing collection of breaking news items, evidentiary documents and insider information that reveals President Trump and the DoD are winning the war against the deep state and the CIA.
President Trump recently tweeted that the attempted coup by the deep state would “escalate dramatically” as the American people realize, “A coup is taking place in front of our eyes, and the public can’t take this anymore.”
More than anyone else, Trump knows the escalation is nearly here, and he is preparing DoD, Special Forces and American patriots for the “final battle” that will determine the future of this constitutional republic.
Listen to my Situation Update here, and read the full detailed story below, which outlines the current scenarios involving SCOTUS, the Insurrection Act, the DoD, China and more.

“Spider” is the expert cyber security witness trained by the 305th military intelligence battalion
Yesterday, military intelligence analyst Jeffrey Prather dropped a bombshell during his live broadcast: A military intelligence analyst code named “Spider” had filed a sworn statement in a lawsuit handled by attorney Sidney Powell. This sworn evidence was accepted by the court on Nov. 25th, and this same evidence is likely already being submitted to SCOTUS for the Texas lawsuit case which claims “irregularities” took place in the swing states.
We’ve archived and posted the full PDF at this link, in case it disappears everywhere else:
https://www.naturalnews.com/files/Spider-Declaration-305.pdf
The document is one of the many bombshells — actually a MOAB — that will be dropped onto the bench of SCOTUS in the days ahead. Here’s some of what it states:
I was an electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military Intelligence with experience gathering SAM missile system electronic intelligence. I have extensive experience as a white hat hacker used by some of the top election specialists in the world. The methodologies I have employed represent industry standard cyber operation toolkits for digital forensics and OSINT, which are commonly used to certify connections between servers, network nodes and other digital properties and probe to network system vulnerabilities.
The document lays out the fact that Dominion voting systems had open, unencrypted passwords and remote access capabilities which were exploited by both China and Iran during the election. Through analysis of IP addresses, subdomain resolutions and other tracing techniques, the “white hat” cyber warfare expert testifying in this document was able to determine that foreign aggressors interfered in the 2020 election by remotely accessing Dominion voting machines and altering election outcomes. Some of the remote access infrastructure was also hosted out of Canada and the Netherlands, and financial support for the effort was also tied to Pakistan.
In addition, Dominion Voting Systems is shown to have sold intellectual property patents to communist China via the HSBC Bank in Canada. Importantly, one of the properties of at least one patent deals with ballot “authentication and verification.”
Guess who the inventor is? Eric Coomer, the very same radical left-wing corporate guy who promised that he had fixed the election so that Trump wouldn’t win. This same man, Eric Coomer, was then brought in by Georgia’s corrupt Sectary of State Brad Raffensperger to be a “witness” to defend all the last-minute software changes that were made to the Dominion voting machines used in Georgia to steal the election.
Actual quote from Eric Coomer: “Don’t worry about the election — Trump’s not gonna win!”
The document reveals how Dominion vote tabulation machines alter election outcomes through a complex mechanism that obscures the original votes and produces a “win” for the pre-selected candidate. It even features a step called “decorate” which is all about formatting the results into something that seems believable:
The conclusion on all this is jaw-dropping. From the sworn statement (emphasis added):
In my professional opinion, this affidavit presents unambiguous evidence that Dominion Voter Systems and Edison Research have been accessible and were certainly compromised by rogue actors, such as Iran and China. By using servers and employees connected with rogue actors and hostile foreign influences combined with numerous easily discoverable leaked credentials, these organizations neglectfully allowed foreign adversaries to access data and intentionally provided access to their infrastructure in order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the most recent one in 2020. This represents a complete failure of their duty to provide basic cyber security. This is not a technological issue, but rather a governance and basic security issue: if it is not corrected, future elections in the United States and beyond will not be secure and citizens will not have confidence in the results.
The Kraken has struck.
Don’t forget, either, that China owns Dominion Voting Systems. This means our national election was run on machines owned by a foreign enemy who has already compromised and corrupted one of the candidates: Joe Biden. Of course they rigged the election for “their” candidate whom they could control after a “victory.”
This evidence is now in the hands of DNI John Ratcliffe
This sworn document is now in the hands of DNI John Ratcliffe, who Trump put into place in May of this year. Ratcliffe, you may recall, is due to issue a classified analysis report on Dec. 18th — next Friday — that reports on whether the 2020 election was subjected to foreign interference.
This report is demanded by Trump’s Sep. 12, 2018 executive order on foreign interference, which declared a National Emergency and labeled the U.S. elections infrastructure “critical infrastructure” for national defense. Eight days later, on Sep. 20, 2018, President Trump put into place a new “offensive cyber warfare” doctrine with the Dept. of Defense. This doctrine allowed the Trump administration and its DoD allies to take all necessary steps to preemptively use conventional and cyber warfare forces as necessary to prevent an attack on critical US infrastructure, including its elections infrastructure.
See this Situation Update from Dec. 4th – Offensive cyber warfare mechanisms activated, election outcome now bending toward national defense scenario.
Also, watch this video from Jeffrey Prather who further confirms all the intel:
Importantly, these two steps allowed Trump to put into place the very “white hat” cyber experts at the 305th battalion of the DoD, as well as NSA infrastructure monitoring systems, giving Trump the ability to monitor and record all foreign interference activity that took place in real time on Election Day (and the days that followed).
It is this evidence that is now about to be dropped into the lap of SCOTUS. This evidence is irrefutable, conclusive and overwhelming. No one in the media has yet seen this evidence, but this is what Sidney Powell speaks of when she uses the term, “Biblical” to describe what’s coming.
In summary, Trump’s key people at the DIA, DoD, 305th, NSA and in positions of the DoD power structure (Miller, Cohen-Watnick, etc.) now have all the cards. They have everything that is needed to essentially maneuver SCOTUS to decide in favor of Texas, even if they didn’t already lean in that direction.
With or without a SCOTUS decision, Trump is preparing to make parts of this information public as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act that is obviously going to be needed once the seditious Left realizes Biden did not win the election and won’t be in charge.
The Texas lawsuit is on the docket with SCOTUS
The following link from SupremeCourt.gov shows that the Texas case is officially on the docket. You can even read the responses from some of the swing states, which are making the most juvenile, irrational arguments any legal analyst has ever seen in a Supreme Court case:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/22o155.html
The legal arguments from the swing states are about to be obliterated by the “Kraken” proof that the election was rigged by foreign aggressors. Importantly, it was the loosey-goosey late hour alteration of election protocols by the swing states that allowed foreign aggressors the opportunity to inject false votes and alter elections well after midnight of Election Day.
Put another way, the changes in election integrity by the swing states provided the opportunity for foreign aggressors to alter the outcome of the election. This point will no doubt be swiftly noted by the sharp minds of jurists such as Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito, etc.
The upshot is that SCOTUS will be maneuvered into a decision that, if rationality prevails, must come down in favor of Texas. The real question comes down to what remedy SCOTUS will choose in order to resolve the assault on the elections that was allowed by the swing states.
In most remedies, Trump wins the election, but in one possible remedy, Biden could still achieve victory. I’m not going into details here because I don’t want to arm the traitors with any knowledge of how they still might win, even of SCOTUS sides with Texas.
If the remedy from SCOTUS pushes the election back to the state legislators, we anticipate an instant insurrection on the part of radical Leftists who will begin threatening and firebombing the homes of state legislators who are tasked with voting on new electors. This action would very quickly result in Trump invoking the Insurrection Act and deploying military troops to protect state GOP legislators from the death threats and kinetic attacks of the Left.
In this scenario, the troops would appear first in swing state cities such as Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, etc.
However, if SCOTUS invalidates all ballots that were counted after midnight of Election Day, this would alleviate any need for local legislators to vote anew, but it would place the burden for the entire election outcome on SCOTUS itself… and I doubt that’s a burden SCOTUS is willing to carry. Nevertheless, if this remedy is chosen, it would result in a nationwide eruption of insurrectionist forces, requiring President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy troops to cities across the country.
The only scenario where nationwide bloodshed is avoided is found in the possibility of Joe Biden conceding very soon. This remains a legitimate possible outcome, although not the most likely one. As we’ve seen from recent explosive media stories and a new Senate report, the Biden crime family is facing numerous criminal indictments for their illicit deals with China and other nations, and a pardon for those crimes might be enough to motivate Joe Biden to step down and concede. Only in this scenario is nationwide bloodshed largely avoided.
The other possibility in all this is that SCOTUS gets threatened or scared and decides to toss the case, handing the election to Joe Biden. This seems unlikely but remains a possibility due to the fact that only one Supreme Court justice would need to be successfully turned. If this occurs, Americans will realize we have lost our constitutional republic, and from that day, it’s all-out war by patriots to defeat the occupying enemy forces that have seized control over every branch of government and nearly every institution in society. The streets of America will run red with blood as patriot forces engage their Second Amendment duty to defend the nation against tyrants and domestic enemies.
SCOTUS cannot possibly be on a suicide mission
It’s worth noting that if Biden wins and the Left is emboldened, one of the very first targets they will prioritize for mass executions will be conservative SCOTUS justices.
So if Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barret want to keep their heads attached to their shoulders, they will likely consider the very grave personal risk of what happens if they issue a death sentence to the U.S. Constitution and turn America over to Bolshevik-style communists and fascists who are already calling for mass incarceration of all Trump supporters, conservatives, Christians and gun owners. Those Leftists would obviously try to eliminate all conservative justices by any means necessary. They believe in the use of violence to achieve political domination, especially since they can’t win legitimate elections if they’re fair.
Additionally, Democrats are openly promising to stack the court if they gain power at both the White House and Senate. This would render the current slate of jurists obsolete, essentially ending the careers and influence of the conservative justices who now occupy those seats on the High Court. Thus, any decision by SCOTUS to side with Biden and the election theft of the swing states is essentially a suicide mission — both for themselves and the nation as founded.
The Pentagon, under Chris Miller, just cut the CIA’s counterterrorism personnel assets… likely to halt the execution squads from operating in America
Meanwhile, key Trump assets inside the Pentagon just cut DoD resources to the CIA’s “counterterrorism” units, which are actually the units that run kidnapping and execution operations around the world. As reported by DefenseOne.com:
Two sources familiar with the matter said that Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller has sent a letter to CIA Director Gina Haspel saying that a longstanding arrangement offering DOD support to the agency is in jeopardy. The review is the pet project of Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Ezra Cohen-Watnick, one of several top-level political appointees assigned to acting roles in the Pentagon…
Anyone who has been listening to my Situation Updates immediately recognizes all those names. As it turns out, the DoD and DIA are at war against the CIA, which ran the foreign interference via its Frankfurt server farm, altering the election outcome in swing states.
More importantly, we also believe that just as the CIA turned its cyber weapons against America in the 2020 election, the CIA is also running executions, kidnappings and other nefarious ops inside CONUS. This is evident in the mysterious “accident” deaths of people associated with GA Gov. Kemp and Sen. Loeffler, whose senior staffer was recently killed.
The date on which the DoD plans to cut off all DoD personnel resources to the CIA is January 5th, one day before the US Congress officially accepts the electoral college votes from the states.
Jan. 6th represents the last date on which members of the U.S. Congress — or even VP Pence who oversees the count that day — can raise objections and challenge the electoral votes of the states. Thus, unless SCOTUS renders a decision that achieves a win for Trump before January 6th, that’s the very last day on which any sort of legal, non-kinetic process could preserve the Constitution and save the republic.
After January 6th, if the election is still on track to being stolen by Biden, the CIA and the deep state, this is when we believe Trump will have no choice but to activate the national security option to prevent America from falling into the hands of communist-run deep state puppets such as Biden and Harris (with Brennan, Clinton, Rice and others pulling the strings from behind the curtain).
The national security option
If all other efforts fail — the Supreme Court, state legislators choosing their own parallel electors, and objections raised on Jan. 6 — then Trump must invoke his national security option to save the republic.
In this scenario, Trump initiates the public emergency broadcast system and holds an emergency announcement from the White House. There, he would declare the election to be an act of cyber warfare against the United States, carried out by foreign aggressors colluding with domestic, corrupt officials and deep state actors. He would likely invoke the Insurrection Act, deploy troops across U.S. cities and begin a wave of mass arrests of the traitors and enemy combatants involved in the attempted coup.
Trump even speaks of this possibility in his own tweets, when he says, “This is going to escalate dramatically. This is a very dangerous moment in our history…” He also characterizes the election theft as a “coup” against America, and he’s right about that. It is an attempted coup. Trump is bound by his own oath to make sure this coup does not succeed.
As this scenario unfolds, Trump will be forced to quickly seize treasonous media outlets using military forces. Big Tech companies would be shut down or seized and overtaken. Zuckerberg, Dorsey and other Big Tech CEOs would be arrested and charged with treason (which needs to happen anyway). Traitorous actors like Obama would try to flee the country to evade arrest. If they succeed in fleeing, they would call for United Nations intervention from their new overseas locations, where they will likely will be hunted by US Army Rangers or Delta forces.
This scenario seems just as likely as any other scenario at this point, and the current positioning of U.S. Carrier Strike Force units reveals that the DoD is anticipating needing to defend CONUS against the possibility of attempted foreign invasions of the United States. We do not believe any invasion by sea would even have a small chance of being successful, but smaller land invasions via Chinese troops in Canada is a very real possibility. However, if China invaded the USA from Canada, this would only shore up support for President Trump and underscore the fact that he is actually defending America against foreign invaders and isn’t merely declaring himself a military dictator for political reasons. Thus, an invasion by Chinese troops from the North would actually strengthen Trump’s authority and leadership in a time of war.
Plus, Chinese forces would learn very quickly what happens when you try to overrun patriot country folk in rural Washington and Idaho.
It is clear from troop movements, U.S. Navy activities, military flight tracking and intel from my military-connected sources that the military is being readied for the possibility of domestic deployment in January. The likely timing of this would be immediately after Jan. 6th.
My best assessment of where we are right now
In my assessment, there is a solid chance — say 50/50 — that SCOTUS sides with Texas. If that occurs, there is around a 90% chance that Trump emerges the victor from the various remedies that would be prescribed by SCOTUS.
Simultaneously, there is a small chance — say 20% — that Biden concedes before the end of December. This is the best outcome as it avoids most of the more serious bloodshed scenarios.
However, there remains roughly a 50% chance that none of the efforts by Trump will succeed, and that on Jan. 6th, Congress will accept electors that solidify the Biden “win,” despite all the irrefutable evidence of vote fraud, foreign interference, China’s hold over the Bidens, etc. In this scenario, Trump is almost certain to invoke the national security option, which puts America in a similar position to Abraham Lincoln’s war powers acts in 1862.
The advantage of this scenario is that it allows Trump to mass arrest all the deep state traitors, enemy combatants, China puppets, CIA black hat operatives and other corrupt officials, all at once and completely outside the usual civilian court system (which itself is corrupt). The scary part in this scenario is that it puts the USA under some form of military rule, with the possibility that Trump might even suspend habeas corpus.
My personal opinion is that Trump needs to invoke the Insurrection Act right now, roll out the troops immediately, and activate all the mass arrests needed to take down America’s domestic enemies. However, my opinion isn’t what counts here, and it looks like Trump is going to give SCOTUS a chance to end the illegal coup via the court system first.
If SCOTUS rules for Texas and Trump achieves victory, this “solution” does nothing to resolve the problem of deep state traitors and China puppets still running Big Tech, the media, the Democrat party, the universities and most of the courts. That problem still needs to get solved, and both the DOJ and FBI appear to be utterly compromised and even complicit in the deep state’s agenda to destroy America.
Thus, any honest assessment of what mechanisms will be needed to defend and restore our constitutional republic must, sooner or later, realize that mass arrests under temporary military authority are the only realistic option. That’s why I believe Trump should invoke it now, while he’s still in power, and while the overwhelming evidence of blatant election theft is fresh in the minds of the people.
Stay tuned. Pray for your nation and double check your rifle ammo. If SCOTUS fails, and Trump fails, and the DoD fails, it all falls on the shoulders of the American people and their Second Amendment duty to defend this nation against a communist takeover.
Under no circumstances can America allow Biden, a corrupt Chinese puppet, to attain control over the military. Biden will immediately move to criminalize all AR-15 rifles, and he will weaponize the IRS and every other government agency against Trump supporters. Biden would also invoke the Insurrection Act himself, then deploy US troops against patriot groups in an attempt to exterminate them, and we all end up in a civil war anyway.
Fight now like your life depends on it. Because it does
