TRIGGER WARNING - Today is a political piece, if you are easily triggered or offended I don’t recommend continuing — if you care about understanding what’s actually happening in the US and West than proceed.

Good morning kings and queens — we saw another massive influx of new subscribers last week. Welcome to all and glad you chose to join a growing community of individuals looking for an alternative to mainstream media.

Couple Major Headlines

  • According to Russian mass media and reports, the area of ​​Kursk region "taken" by Ukraine in the last 48 hours is approximately 350 km — this is a massive development and marks one of the first major offensive moves by Ukraine in this war. Unsettling for sure given Putin will not take this lightly.

  • A Judge imposed a $125 million civil penalty on Ripple (XRP) — XRP ripped on the news

  • The S&P 500 ends the day down 130 points from its high of day and just 1.8% away from correction territory (Kobeissi Letter)

  • Billionaire Ken Griffin is making a major push to defeat a ballot amendment that seeks to legalize recreational marijuana use in Florida, per Bloomberg/Unusual Whales

  • JPMorgan now says the odds of a US recession by the end of the year are now at 35%.

  • A Taylor Swift concert in Vienna has been cancelled over an ISIS attack plot — as of now several suspects are still at large

If you missed the markets centric piece earlier this week you can read it below:

Surviving the Global Mega Sell Off


Growing Authoritarianism in The West

More on markets Friday morning for all subs.

It’s no exaggeration to say we live in a new age of universal deceit and misdirection. Big Tech, empowered by various government agencies and the growth of big data, sits at the intersection of nearly all information that we are able to consume or see online. What’s more troubling is they harvest and procure data on nearly every aspect of your life. As we emerged from the Covid 19 pandemic, it became clear to me and others that the game has been forever changed.

The real issue with a connected society and the heavy reliance on technology is that the media has a stranglehold on what the “truth is”. “Fact Checkers” were introduced to try and give legitimacy to leftist apparatuses who’s only goal was to enforce the given narrative and discredit alternative viewpoints or “dangerous misinformation”

It’s projection. It also curiously aligns nearly every time with the goals of big government.

This became alarmingly evident over the course of the Biden administration which appears to simply be a front for the DC uniparty and establishment as we learn Biden has been unfit for a long long time now (we haven’t even seen or heard almost anything since he “dropped out” over Twitter). With the events that took place over the last month — people SHOULD start to get it now. Biden being a fit and capable President is perhaps the most egregious lie they have perpetuated to date.

And then what happens?

The left, establishment, and media who have been screeching about Democracy and protecting Democracy ushers in Kamala Harris to move in as the Presidential Candidate with zero process at all. Zero votes, zero representation — not even a meager consideration for what any Democrat wanted. The irony stings.

But it’s to be expected.

Do as a I say not as I do.

Even the Trump assassination attempt — which was one of the most significant political events to ever occur — was whitewashed. It’s been forgotten. We still have no answers. It’s insulting since most people with a pulse know that this attempt was likely an organized hit job, nothing else makes sense. Some are going as far as mocking Trump or suggesting it never happened or it was a conspiracy/staged event.

This is true madness. True delusion.

Facts and the actual truth was censored, suppressed, or misrepresented repeatedly. The most blatant examples include:

  • The Hunter Biden Laptop story - (during an election). By the way prosecutors stated in court documents on Wednesday that Hunter Biden was employed by a Romanian businessman facing corruption charges who sought to "influence U.S. government policy" during Joe Biden's vice presidency. Whoops.

  • The origin of Covid 19 - Covid originated in the Wuhan weapons lab in China

  • Vaccines - big pharma and the government lied about efficacy, side effects, and transmission

  • The treatments for Covid 19 - Facebook and others suppressed natural immunity, Ivermectin, and other treatments

  • January 6th details - FBI involvement, and prosecution of citizens

  • The 2020 election. The Georgia Election Board has uncovered mounds of evidence showing election fraud and tampering in Fulton County starting with failing to verify signatures for 148,000 ballots.

  • The horrendous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Shawn Ryan, former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor first broke the story but turns out we’ve been paying the Taliban between $40M and $80M a week. Tax payer money.

  • Biden’s fitness and mental acuity - resigns via a Tweet. Disappears entirely. Kamala ushered in.

  • The Trump assassination attempt - zero questions answered, no motive, no information whatsoever. Obvious this shooter didn’t act alone

You are perpetually being lied to blatantly. That’s what over half the country still doesn’t understand or is choosing to ignore. It’s why I frequently say that people are living under two entirely different realities in the US. The propaganda is weapons grade — if you aren’t actively attempting to sift through the noise — you likely believe what everyone else does, which is what they are TOLD to believe.

Eventually it becomes hard for you to imagine that the actual truth is the exact opposite of what you’ve been told, no matter how convincing they were in telling you over and over again. That’s been a tough pill for me to swallow — but once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Plato’s allegory of the cave

If the completely undemocratic push for Kamala Harris was the delusional and absurd cake — her selection (or should I say Barack’s) of Tim Walz is the icing. The guy is nothing short of a full blown Marxist. He presided over Minnesota during the 2020 BLM/Antifa riots. His wife, in an interview recently, stated she “smelled burning tires in her home during the riots” and left the windows open as a reminder of what was happening.

Walz himself tried to justify the riots — excusing them by saying when DEI and equity is ignored this is what happens.


1984 is Here

In a time of turmoil in American politics our brethren in the UK are seeing first hand just how sinister the bureaucratic and police state gets when there’s ZERO physical counter or deterrent to their overreach.

Amid the riots and unrest driven by the death of three young girls several weeks ago, surging immigration, and the violent stabbing in UK communities — the UK law enforcement apparatus is showing just how Orwellian they really are. Predictably they aren’t going for the violent criminals!! They’re going after native Brits who have had enough.

Stephen Parkinson, the Director of Public Prosecution of England and Wales set a new precedent in an interview on TV this week — one that Orwell would have scoffed at. In the interview he said:

“The offense of Incitement of racial hatred involves publishing or distributing materials that which is insulting or abusive, that is intended to or likely to start racial hatred, if you retweet that then you are republishing that, and potentially you are committing that offense….

We have dedicated police officers scouring social media whose job it is to look for this material and identify those individuals and locate them and perform identification arrests. Consequences will be visited upon them….”

Unbelievable lol. Arrested for a tweet or retweet.

But it gets worse.
