    Apartments, hockey rinks and Amazon warehouses: Macy’s closures will set off a wave of change at shopping malls

    Macy’s decision to close nearly a third of its stores will spark change in malls and communities across the U.S.

    Some of those transformations may catch shoppers by surprise.

    The retailer said in late February that it plans to close about 150 of its namesake locations by early 2027. Macy’s has not yet revealed which stores it will shutter. When CEO Tony Spring announced the move, he said the stores that Macy’s will close account for 25% of the company’s gross square footage but less than 10% of its sales.

But here we are again in a very short period of time. Gold has already broken to new highs with the MACD crossing over to the upside. Both silver and the HUI have MACD lines touching and poised to cross to the upside. We have been watching the famed “Swiss stairstep” upwards since last October, it appears another step higher is imminent. I should also mention, when the system itself begins to break down, the step(s) higher will shock everyone!”

    Exposure at Hedge Funds Has Skyrocketed to Over $28 Trillion; Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Are at Risk

    According to a report at the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Financial Research (OFR), the Gross Notional Exposure at hedge funds has skyrocketed by 24.5 percent in the span of one year: from $22.946 trillion on March 31, 2023 to $28.579 trillion on March 31, 2024. (Run your cursor along the top green line at this link to observe the stunning growth in hedge fund exposures despite the banking crisis in the spring of 2023 when the second, third and fourth largest banks blew up.)

    Gross Notional Exposure (GNE) is defined by OFR as “the sum of the absolute value of long and short exposures, including those on and off the balance sheet.”

    The OFR was created under the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation of 2010 to keep bank and market regulators informed of growing risks, in the hope of preventing another financial crisis like that of 2007-2010 from occurring.

    Correct Wolfgang, we are already paying 25%+ of tax revenues to interest alone.  Bill
    "How can the US, which is now $35 trillion in the hole justify this kind of irresponsible, profligate spending? The only possible answer for why this level of explosive deficit (and debt) growth continues, is the admin's ongoing attempts to buy as many votes as possible, as well as the relentless increase in interest on the US debt.And it only goes downhill from there, because as we have noted previously, the biggest risk factor is not so much spending on such discretionary items as social security, health and national defense ("how dare you say these are discretionary! these are mandatory, untouchable outlays" some will scream, but if and when the taxes dry up and the dollar loses its reserve status you will see just how discretionary they are), but on interest, and here recall what we said back in April: "interest on US debt - currently the second biggest government outlay at $1.2 trillion - will surpass social security and become the single biggest US expense before the end of 2024 at $1.6 trillion."..."

    Bill is interviewed by Texas Silver (also posted under Interviews)

  • From Wolfgang Rech –

    Bill,
    Now, I'm not taking a political stance here, but the rationale of the Democratic Party is amiss.
    Forcing Biden out of the Presidential race because they feel he would be incapable of running the country, is one thing.  Understandable as it would affect our nation and its citizens.
    But to oust him, because these career politicians fear losing their jobs, is just wrong. It shows no allegiance to the great nation of the United States.  Only to their self interests. Wolfgang
    W,  this is exactly why I have said to look for a false flag and cancelled election in Nov. if they believe they cannot cheat enough to win. Time will tell ... Best,  Bill
    "A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races." Biden.
    As modernity.news reported last week, it was widely reported that Pelosi told Biden that he could either step down "the easy way" or be removed "the hard way." Biden is apparently furious with her, as mentioned by interviewer Lesley Stahl in this clip.

    “It Didn’t Sound Like Joe Biden”: Pelosi Questions Dropout Letter As Biden Fingers Her In Ouster

    In his first interview since he was very clearly ousted from the 2024 race, President Biden specifically mentioned former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) – telling CBS News Sunday Morning that Democrats in the House and Senate thought he would drag down the entire party’s chances of reelection.

    “A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races. And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic — you’d be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say [something] … and I thought it’d be a real distraction,” said Biden.

    But since then, more companies in both tech and media have announced layoffs. Here are some of the latest ones to have done so.

    Americans are already struggling to feed their families and pay their bills, but having predicted every US recession since 1960, the steepening bond yield curve is speaking loud and clear that an “official” downturn is nearly inevitable. With bond prices on the rise as the Fed looks increasingly likely to cut rates in September, the yields are going down and the inverted curve is finally leveling out after an epic two-year inversion

    And with stocks now crashing around the world, global uncertainty is rocketing upward in a “Black Monday” event, especially as dizzyingly volatile Japan struggles to contain its post-ZIRP doom loop. In other words, the storm may be arriving in earnest.

    620% Increased Risk of Myocarditis: Another Peer-Reviewed Study Confirms Destruction Caused by mRNA COVID-19 Jabs

    Yet another recent peer-reviewed study has been published, amplifying the incredible dangers of the experimental mRNA COVID jabs. We recently reported on a groundbreaking new study proving that the tyrannical public response—including lockdowns, the mandated deadly jabs, drastic medical interventions, and so on—to COVID-19 caused more deaths than COVID-19 itself. And now, a study of 9.2 million South Koreans published in Nature Communications exposes an unprecedented increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis after receiving the gene-damaging mRNA jabs. Specifically, the study reveals a 620 percent increased risk of myocarditis and a 175 percent higher risk of pericarditis after the shots. But it doesn’t end there. Researchers also discovered an increased risk of neurological disorders—including Alzheimer’s—and increased risks of numerous autoimmune conditions, especially after booster shots.

    A little-known law has forced over 120,000 veterans to return the money they got to leave the military, new data shows

    A federal law has forced nearly 122,000 disabled veterans in the last 12 years to return payouts — some totaling tens of thousands of dollars — they received to leave the military when it needed to downsize, according to new data obtained by NBC News.

    The statistics come amid renewed calls to change the little-known law, which prohibits veterans from receiving both disability and special separation pay, which are one-time, lump-sum incentives offered to service members when the U.S. had to reduce its active-duty force.

    “Nobody realizes that they are doing this to so many people,” said Vernon Reffitt, who was recently told to repay the $30,000 he got to leave the Army more than 30 years ago.

    Bank of England seeks action from Britain’s biggest banks on crisis plans

    Five of Britain’s biggest banks were today instructed to improve their readiness for failure after the sudden demise of major financial institutions last year highlighted the speed with which they can collapse. The Bank of England today named Barclays, HSBC and Lloyds among firms that needed to strengthen their preparedness for failure, warning they must be “sufficiently flexible and able to produce timely and robust estimations of their liquidity needs in a resolution, given the speed at which events can evolve, for example due to rapid deposit outflows.”

    The scale of the risks latent within the banking sector was revealed last year by the rapid collapse of Credit Suisse and Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), which sent shockwaves through financial markets. Within a day of SVB’s warning that it needed a capital raise, the firm’s share price sunk 60% and as much as $40 billion or nearly a third of its deposits had been withdrawn, with a further $100 billion on course to leave. The UK arm of SVB was acquired shortly thereafter in a last-minute rescue deal by HSBC, while Credit Suisse was merged with UBS.

    CNN Effectively Worthless After Parent Warner Bros Takes $9.1 Billion Writedown

    What had been obvious “to the rest of us” for years, is finally official: late last night, shares of Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent of CNN and TNT, crashed 10% to the lowest level on record after it reported dire results, which missed across the board and plunged across every income statement category…

    … but the biggest hit – and surprise – was the company’s stunning $9.1 billion charge taken to write down the value of its traditional TV networks, such as CNN and TNT, which were acquired in 2022 when Warner Bros Discovery was created as part of its acquisition of WarnerMedia. The write down confirmed that legacy cable channels like CNN and TNT are no longer worth what they were when the $42 billion merger was completed. In fact, judging by the ongoing mass layoffs at the former, one can argue that CNN’s value is now negative and will continue to be so until it stops hemorrhaging cash.

The song has a dark, foreboding, cynical tone, capturing the sense of a coming catastrophe which everybody can see coming, but we are helpless to stop. Cohen wrote the song in 1987 and it perfectly captures the mood of a Third Turning Unraveling, where greed; narcissism; the breakdown of societal trust; confidence in governmental and financial institutions; and the deterioration of society into the “haves” and “have nots”; sets the stage for the Fourth Turning Crisis of financial collapse, war, and a violent bloody resolution by 2032. Third Turnings are periods of cynicism, deterioration of manners and civil authority, societal disunity, and a cultural descent towards degeneracy.

    Less than a year after Judicial Watch reported that the Taliban has established fake nonprofits to steal millions of dollars in U.S. aid to Afghanistan, a new investigation reveals that the terrorist group has also received hundreds of millions in development assistance from Uncle Sam because the State Department fails to properly vet award recipients. At least $239 million have likely filled the coffers of the extremists running the Islamic republic since the 2021 U.S. military withdraw, according to a report published this month by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). The money was disbursed by State Department divisions known as Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) and International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) to implement development projects intended to help achieve American foreign policy and national security goals in Afghanistan.
