White House Adviser John Kirby Accidentally Sends Fox News an Insulting Message About a ‘Handful of Veterans’
A basic summary of Americans’ contempt for their repellent ruling class boils down to three sentences:
Establishment politicians and other regime operatives view everything through the lens of power. They never assume any responsibility. They never suffer any consequences for their failures.
On Wednesday — the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States — White House National Security Council communications adviser John Kirby demonstrated the mind of a well-placed regime toady when he accidentally included Fox News in a “reply all” email chain that featured a message dismissive of what he called “a ‘handful’ of vets” critical of President Joe Biden’s botched 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.

The Fed Just Kicked the Capital Increases for the Dangerous Megabanks and their Derivatives Down the Road for Years
When the next megabank blows up from its derivative exposure, you can add the names Jamie Dimon and Patick McHenry to former Republican Congressmen Randy Hultgren and Kevin Yoder as four of the men who greased the skids for another derivatives banking crisis. (For our report on the role played by Hultgren and Yoder, see our 2021 report here.)
Dimon and McHenry are the latest lead players in the disastrous history of derivative regulation in the U.S.

Silver: The Unsung Hero Of The New Economy
Silver demand continues to surge, driven by technologies like solar power and AI.
In 2023 alone, the silver market experienced a 15% supply deficit. Furthermore, the market is expected to reach a cumulative deficit of 1,093.4 million ounces from 2020 to 2024.
In this graphic by Outcrop Silver, Visual Capitalist’s Bruno Venditti discusses how new mines are necessary to meet the high demand for the metal.

Social Security Facing $63 Trillion in Unfunded Liabilities
Social Security is facing $63 trillion in long-term unfunded liabilities, according to the 2024 Old-Age, Survivors, Disability Insurance (OASDI) trustees report.
The report looked at two things: how much money will be missing indefinitely and how much will be missing in the next 75 years. The report determined that there will be a permanent $62.8 trillion deficit and about a $23 trillion shortage for the next 75 years.
Officials explained that these numbers show how much less money they will have after the money saved up in trust funds runs out.

Nearly 2,000 drug plants are overdue for FDA checks after COVID delays, AP finds
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators responsible for the safety of the U.S. drug supply are still struggling to get back to where they were in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic upended factory inspections in the U.S. and across the world, The Associated Press has found.
An AP analysis of Food and Drug Administration data shows that agency staffers have not returned to roughly 2,000 pharmaceutical manufacturing firms to conduct surveillance inspections since before the pandemic, raising the risks of contamination and other issues in drugs used by millions of Americans.

World Economic Forum Finally Tells the Truth About Covid: It Was a ‘Test’ of Our Obedience to Rapidly Forming New World Order
They wanted to know how many people would comply with a complete re-ordering of their lives based on no science at all, just random orders, some of which bordered on absurdity.
I have long said that Covid 19 was launched by design by a small number of people in the globalist predator class for one reason and one reason only — as a beta test for the coming technocratic new world order.
Now, we’ve got the World Economic Forum coming out and all but admitting that was exactly why the Covid-19 “pandemic” had to happen.

A Wall Street Regulator Is Understating Margin Debt by More than $4 Trillion – Because It’s Not Counting Giant Banks Making Loans to Hedge Funds
Most market watchers rely on the monthly margin debt figures published by Wall Street’s self-regulator, FINRA, as the reliable gauge in determining how much of securities trading on Wall Street is being done with borrowed money, known as margin debt.
According to the FINRA data, as of March 31, 2024, margin debt stood at $784.136 billion.

Fed Must Decide If Quarter-Point Cut Will Be Enough for Workers
(Bloomberg) — The Federal Reserve is set to begin unwinding its tightening campaign this month as inflation cools and the labor market slows. The big question policymakers now face is whether a small interest-rate cut will be enough to keep the economy in expansion mode.
The monthly jobs report Friday showed the pace of hiring in the US moderated over the last three months to the slowest since the onset of the pandemic in 2020. Even so, the numbers left investors skeptical as to whether Fed officials would opt for an outsize rate cut at their Sept. 17-18 meeting.
The release sets the table for a heated debate between those like Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is open to a larger cut to ensure the central bank doesn’t fall behind the curve, and other officials who “are still waffling on a quarter point,” according to Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG.

1.3 MILLION Native-Born Americans Lost Their Jobs Under Biden-Harris in August.
An estimated 1.3 million native-born American workers lost their jobs in August, according to the latest jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Meanwhile, the number of foreign-born workers increased by 635,000.
While the August jobs report shows unemployment falling to 4.2 percent last month, this drop is primarily due to a spike in part-time employment. According to the BLS data, the number of full-time workers decreased slightly.
Bill’s Commentary:
“What do they mean the “real” unemployment rate is 7.9%? Have they been giving us the “fake” rate all along? By the way, Shadowstats which calculates the economic numbers the way they did back in the early 1980’s, before changing and “massaging” them, at a MUCH higher number than 7.9%!”
August payrolls grew by a less-than-expected 142,000, but unemployment rate ticked down to 4.2%
The U.S. economy created slightly fewer jobs than expected in August, reflecting a slowing labor market while also clearing the way for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates later this month.
Nonfarm payrolls expanded by 142,000 during the month, up from 89,000 in July and below the 161,000 consensus forecast from Dow Jones, according to a report Friday from the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Bombshell: All Levels of Govt. Conspiring to Oust Homeowners Across the USA
The new Fraud: Counties across the country (now 47 states are involved) are raising reassessing homes, increasing their valuation, in order to raise property taxes to meet their budgets.
How they do this…is that the yearly budget is given to the Tax Assessor’s office and told to figure out how to meet the budget. The Assessor then artificially reassesses the homes in the area (by alot) in order to raise the taxes to comport with the budget. The homeowners who can barely pay their mortgages and credit card debt not only can not afford the property tax but the insurance on their house goes up as well. Then the house goes into foreclosure and the sharks attack! “You will own nothing and be happy” -

“A pretty good read on “Democracy””
On Being a “Threat to Democracy”
Merriam-Webster defines “democracy” as: “a: Government by the people especially : rule of the majority, b: a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.”
Well, that sounds good. Do we have a rule of the majority? The majority of Americans, after all, about eighty percent of them, are losing in this rigged economy, and living paycheck to paycheck at best. I don’t think they’re “ruling” anything. We all (well, some of us) know that the 10th Amendment to the Constitution clearly states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Again, sounds good. But when’s the last time you heard about one of our tyrannical judges ruling in favor of someone invoking the 10th Amendment? Since the Constitution delineates very limited powers to the central government, this should mean that the vast majority of power in this country resides in the States, or the people.

Bond market ‘yield curve’ returns to normal from inverted state that had raised recession fears
The relationship between the 10- and 2-year Treasury yield briefly normalized Wednesday, reversing a classic recession indicator.
Following economic news that showed a sharp decline in job openings and dovish remarks from Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, the benchmark 10-year yield inched above the 2-year for the first time since June 2022.
The respective yields were both around 3.79% on the session, with just a few thousandths of a percentage point separating them.

Fears of a cancer cover-up in state suffering mystery spike in tumors
A mystery surge in cancer in Iowa has been blamed on alcohol – but locals fear another major factor is being ignored or suppressed.
DailyMail.com visited Iowa and spoke to doctors and locals who had cancer themselves or knew of dozens who had, but one common thread stood out – none of them were heavy drinkers.
And while a report published in early 2024 highlighted alcohol as a major health concern, locals are trying to raise awareness about another contributor: agricultural chemicals – of which Iowa uses more than any other state.

‘Ticking time bomb’: Plunging office values alarm Washington
Four and a half years after the pandemic sent workers home, the office property bill is finally coming due.
The market for office buildings — already reeling from higher vacancy rates amid the rise in remote-work policies — has been crushed by high borrowing costs, and while the Federal Reserve is at last preparing to cut interest rates, it may be too little, too late. Investors, banks and property owners are now beginning to accept that some commercial buildings will never recover their pre-pandemic value, and that’s leading to a steady drumbeat of distressed sales.
The market’s troubles have caught the attention of Congress — with one New York lawmaker calling it a “ticking time bomb” for banks as nearly $1 trillion in commercial real estate loans are coming due this year. Faced with vacant office buildings and a shortage of millions of homes to meet demand, a bipartisan group of lawmakers is trying to make it easier for developers to convert underused properties into housing.
