“So much for ‘low inflation’?”
The United Auto Workers is seeking a 46% wage increase over four years as a part of its negotiations with the Detroit Three automakers, according to a page of the union’s written demands.
The proposal would be the largest pay increase in recent memory. The proposal from the Detroit-based union that represents approximately 150,000 workers making Chevrolets, Fords, Jeeps and more calls for a 20% general wage increase upon ratification of a new contract “to offset severe impact of inflation” over the past few years, according to the write-up obtained by The Detroit News.

“All ponzi scams go bust it is just a matter of when, Dave.
You are correct Dave, math doesn’t lie but it seems it is no longer taught in schools anymore?”
At 5:13 p.m. ET on Tuesday, after the stock market closed, Fitch downgraded the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+. Fitch is now the second of the three major credit rating agencies to have taken the historic step of removing the triple-A rating from the U.S. S&P made its first-ever downgrade to the U.S. credit rating on August 5, 2011, also from AAA to AA+, and has kept it there ever since. Moody’s is now the only member of the Big Three credit rating agencies that has maintained a triple-A rating on the U.S.

“This could be super fun to watch! Facts versus fantasy? I wonder how many times DeSantis will ask how California is doing with various topics? Being long popcorn seems a safe bet!”
Govs. Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom have tentatively agreed to debate — one hosted by Fox News.
The Florida Republican and California Democrat have repeatedly sparred over policies in their respective states, each representing one side of the ideological spectrum though occupying different political perches. DeSantis, a Republican, is trailing former President Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination while Newsom, a Democrat, has brushed aside questions about his own presidential ambitions to become a super surrogate of sorts for President Joe Biden.

“A little late don’t you think? But this may in fact help Pastor Pawlowski?”
An Albertan court ruled on Tuesday that lockdown orders enacted in response to Covid were invalid.
The ruling in Ingram v. Alberta will likely force prosecutors to withdraw charges against individuals, churches, and other organizations in several other standing cases.

“Of course they have …They are “PROTECTING OUR DEMOCRACY! Does that phrase sound familiar?”
Wikipedia is one of many tools used by the US liberal establishment and its allies in the intelligence community to wage “information warfare,” the site’s co-founder, Larry Sanger, has told journalist Glenn Greenwald.
Speaking on Greenwald’s ‘System Update’ podcast, Sanger lamented how the site he helped found in 2001 has become an instrument of “control” in the hands of the left-liberal establishment, among which he counts the CIA, FBI, and other US intelligence agencies.

“It is only a matter of time… Dave”
“Despite America’s likely opposition, de-dollarization will persist, as most of the non-Western world wants a trading system that does not make them vulnerable to dollar weaponization or hegemony,” says Frank Giustra, co-chairman of International Crisis Group. “It’s no longer a question of if, but when.”
Bill’s commentary:
“I thought it was Pink Floyd who coined the term ‘we don’t need no education’?”
LeBron James is a G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) on the basketball court. But all that greatness has yet to trickle down in the LeBron James-supported I Promise School classrooms in Akron, Ohio.
A new Akron Beacon Journal (ABJ) report said, “This fall’s class of eighth graders at the I Promise School hasn’t had a single student pass the state’s math test since the group was in the third grade.”
Bill’s commentary:
“If Trump truly does get power to subpoena, this is quite significant! Will we finally get to see the ugly truth in the light of day?”
Hey deep state, be careful what you wish for! “We now have the ability in this case to issue our own subpoenas. And we will relitigate every single issue in the 2020 Election. It gives President Trump an opportunity that he has never had before, which is to have subpoena power.”
Bill’s commentary:
“All monetary roads eventually lead to gold …!”
From August 22 through 24th, an extended coalition of over 40 nations which has become known as BRICS+ will meet in Johannesburg, South Africa. Among the likely topics of discussion is the feasibility of setting up a jointly-owned international financial institution. It would be funded by gold deposits, issue a currency, and extend loans tied to the spot value of gold. There are substantial reasons to doubt the workability of the growing consortium’s plan. But to dismiss it summarily, whether as bad economics or wrote anti-American propaganda, is to dismiss a moment five decades in the making.

“No, this is not the Onion! I am sure there is super high demand for “unvaccinated” organs…”
SUDBURY, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — Canadian health officials asked an Ontario woman to donate organs of her husband who died after being denied an organ transplant because he did not receive the COVID-19 shots.
In May, Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN), the Ontario organ donation agency, called Meghan Harper to harvest her husband Garnet’s organs as he lay dying because the hospital refused to provide organ transplants to unvaccinated Canadians.
Bill’s commentary:
“What a shocker!”
When the June jobs report came out, President Joe Biden crowed that it was “Bidenomics in action.”
But behind the happy talk of the White House statement, buried in the depths of a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is the revelation that more than five million Americans who are not working were not counted in the unemployment rate, which stands at 3.6 percent.
“We Are at the End of Civilization – Gerald Celente.”
Renowned trends researcher and publisher of “The Trends Journal,” Gerald Celente, says the trend for the world is very dark because of the increasing prospects for a World War. Celente pointed out a year ago to an unsuspecting public that “World War III has already started.” There is no end in sight to the Ukraine war, and it is only getting more intense. Celente says, “We are at the end of civilization.. . .Let’s talk about the Ukraine war. Thanks to the U.S. and NATO, they ramped up a situation that would have been over a year ago if we minded our own business. Now, it’s bombs away in Moscow with the drones they are sending in . . . . World War III has begun, and we are on the verge of nuclear annihilation. Look at these people on the cover of the Trends Journal. They are out of their minds. They are evil, demonic, psychopathic, pathological lying freaks.”

“Is the dollar now the global hot potato that hyperinflates?”
The Federal Reserve has just reported the largest year over year rise in history of the velocity of the M2 money supply with a 10.6% increase from one year ago.
The Velocity of Money is defined by the Federal Reserve as:
…’the number of times one dollar is spent to buy goods and services per unit of time. If the velocity of money is increasing, then more transactions are occurring between individuals in an economy.’… (FRED 7/27/23)
“CV19 Vax is a Crime & Coverup – Ed Dowd.”
Former Wall Street money manager Ed Dowd is still a skillful number cruncher. Dowd made billions of dollars in profits by being right on the data. He’s right on the data again in his recent wildly popular book “Cause Unknown” The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022.
Bill’s commentary:
“Rest in Peace Principe!”
You may have noticed very little posting this week. My wingman and amigo passed away Tuesday suddenly (and no he was not vaxxed!). We have been riding partners for nearly 17 years. When I first got to Costa Rica back in late 2006, I was looking for a horse to trail ride and came across Principe’. He was sound and stable (most of the time as the Spanish do have a tendency at bad tempers). I loved his natural gait as he “paddled” while trotting. Each Saturday, the endurance Arabians would ride to a mountain top and back down. None of the Spanish horses could make it to the top except Principe’. He was normally number 8 or 10 out of 30 horses to the top …and ALWAYS dead least to get to the bottom because gaited horses lift and take such short steps naturally. After a couple of years, while on a Sunday bar hop with our horses, one of the best trainers in the country asked me if he could train my horse. I rode, while the trainer tapped his fetlocks and lower shoulders. Within a year, Principe’ had Paso Espanol (Spanish walk), passage, piaffe’, and could change leads on every other step at a canter. After getting him here in the states, a young woman was able to get him to change leads on each step, this is a feat that maybe only 2,500 horses on the planet can do?! Over the years, my rough math tells me we went nearly 20,000 miles together, many of those miles kept me sane in an increasingly insane world. He spoke horse, I spoke English, so we decided Spanish, and only Spanish would be our language choice. Once here in the States, I worked on a ground routine at liberty (no halter) with him that eventually stretched out to more than 3 minutes. Principe’ was an absolute carrot slut and would do anything for a carrot. He was a very quick learner as long as the carrot supply held out! Something many do not understand, is that your animal, any animal can teach you things …if you listen? There were several additions to his repertoire that he taught me and we continued with. For his last 6 years, never did he wear a saddle, nor had a bit in his mouth. What a dream, bareback and a hackamore was all that was required! He’s had a 3 yr old on him and an 80 year old, he always knew who was on him and whether he could push it to a scale of 11 out of 1-10. Maybe his best trait was being “drunk broke” where he would ride under you if you were ever off balance. His last gift to me was helping train 2 separate service/protection dogs. You can never ranch train any dog in good fashion if you need to divert attention to your ride. He had no jitters around dogs, was a push button ride, and I believe he fully understood the what and why of running with two dogs. We rode together nearly every day since 2012 through all sorts of weather conditions and terrain. I looked forward to the ride each day, he liked it too though maybe it was more so the carrots?
RIP my friend, I will miss you so much! Relajarse en paz mi amigo, voy a extranarte MUCHO!”

“Geopolitics have always been a huge factor in economics and finance. More so today, but the logic that lead them in the past has been thrown to the curb…”
The July NATO summit in Vilnius had the feeling of a funeral, as if they had just lost a family member – Ukraine. To clear away NATO’s failure to drive Russia out of Ukraine and move NATO right up to the Russian border, its members tried to revive their spirits by mobilizing support for the next great fight – against China, which is now designated as their ultimate strategic enemy. To prepare for this showdown, NATO announced a commitment to extend their military presence all the way to the Pacific.
Bill’s commentary:
“At least they are finally saying the quiet part, out loud! It’s opinion …but if it is their opinion it must be fact? “
Facebook parent Meta is shifting away from current affairs and politics on its social media platforms, and will instead focus on short-form videos and content from influencers vs. news, the Financial Times reports.
Bill’s commentary:
“Geopolitics have always mattered. This will without doubt be the “Asian century”…”
In his book, The Asian 21st Century, Kishore Mahbubani (Mahbubani), a former diplomat who served as Singapore’s permanent representative to the United Nations and president of the UN Security Council, pointed out the biggest thing happening in the world yet no Western media would talk about it – the arrival of the Asian century. In an exclusive interview with Global Times (GT) reporters Li Aixin, Qian Jiayin and Yu Jincui, Mahbubani shared his insights on why he believes the American century is over, the Asian century is coming, and how the US has focused on the wrong “battlefields,” at the book release hosted by Beijing-based think tank CCG. The China-US contest will not be in military dimension; it will be in economic dimension, Mahbubani said.

“This was funny on M.A.S.H. when Klinger kept trying to get his section 8 dismissal, it doesn’t seem quite as funny in real life …especially since our tax dollars are being used to theoretically “protect us”. Does everyone also get a “participation trophy” to bring home to Mommy? “
The Dossier has acquired a new Department of Defense (DOD) memo that goes into great detail on the topic of “care of service members who identify as transgender.”
The document, which is not classified but has long remained unavailable to Americans, is being published here for the first time for public consumption.
The 34 page memo details the enormous perks granted to service members who identify as transgender.

“Not trying to beat a dead horse, but what about the debt on all the underwater commercial real estate?”
Following the failures of several regional banks earlier this year, we’ve been closely monitoring the commercial real estate (CRE) sector, noticing increasing risks in the office space market. CRE lending standards have tightened considerably in response to the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes over the past sixteen months to combat inflation. Furthermore, depressed office-badge swipes and other occupancy metrics indicate a downshift in demand for office space.

“Is this how one reasons after consuming magic mushrooms? So I guess war is a “good thing”? Stimulus for “the global economy”? Why not stimulus for our own economy? “
Doubling support for war-torn Ukraine is the “single best thing” to help the global economy.
Source: US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Sunday, 16 July, speaking on the sidelines of the G20 Finance Ministers’ Summit in India, as reported by European Pravda, citing AFP.
Details: Yellen said a “key priority” is to “redouble our support for Ukraine” as it defends itself against Russia.
Bill’s commentary:
” … And the debt on all that real estate will never be repaid either!”
In just three years, the pandemic forced companies to rethink how their workforce conducts business, stripping away the crowds and bustling environment metropolitans like San Francisco, California were known for having.
Now, as some things return to normal, many workers who commuted to San Francisco continue to work remote and the Golden City is struggling to keep businesses intact, leaving many buildings vacant.

“So ‘sudden or unexpected deaths’ are occurring in animals that were vaccinated for Covid? WOW, what a coincidence? Maybe it’s part of the “animal population control” program?”
A nearly 7-year-old African elephant has died following a 12-day battle with a viral infection, the Dallas Zoo announced Tuesday. The elephant, Ajabu, died Monday evening of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV). Ajabu had previously faced the infection in March 2021 and survived, the zoo added.

“Do you still wonder if there is a plan to undermine the United States sovereignty?”
While it took the Biden administration the better part of six months to drain the US oil supply down to a precarious 20-days of emergency reserves (a 40-year low), it will take decades to refill – if that happens at all, Bloomberg reports.
Stroll through the West Hackberry oil facility on the US Gulf Coast and there’s not much to see: some pipelines and other industrial equipment. But buried deep beneath the surface are storage caverns so massive they’re tall enough to house the Empire State Building with plenty of room to spare.
Bill’s commentary:
“What if Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche is correct?”
What if Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche is correct? The Dutch virologist said at the outset of the Covid-19 episode in 2020 that vaccinating the world in the midst of an epidemic was insane because it would train the virus to evolve more dangerously while disabling human immune systems.
Last week he issued a warning that the world was within weeks of just such a new and deadly immune escape variant outbreak that would bring on a shocking wave of sickness and death among people who received multiple Covid-19 vaccinations. This would happen on top of an already accelerating rise in latent vaccine adverse reactions manifesting as aggressive cancers, blood disorders, cardiac injury, neurological disease, and much, much more.

“How fitting is this? Yellen does mushrooms …if she even peeked at the national debt then this was a very BAD TRIP!”
It’s been several days since US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen left Beijing, and much has been said about her efforts to repair the US-China relationship.
But politics aside, her Beijing visit resulted in one unexpected success – she managed to dramatically boost business for a Yunnan restaurant chain while bringing jian shou qing, an unusual yet highly sought-after mushroom prized for its unique properties, into the national limelight.

Bill’s commentary:
“Imagine that? We have said this for years and been called “conspiracy theorists” for even having the thought. ALL markets are rigged and it starts with gold and silver as they are direct competitors to the world’s fiat currencies. It all starts with suppression of gold’s (and silver) price so they can point at gold and say “see, dollar good …gold BAD!” Rigging the juniors (and even majors) is child’s play because the volume is thin, and regulators look the other way. You may remember 2+ years ago when some of the juniors tripled in price in just one or two days, this I believe was a cleaning up of naked shorts and allowed a “reload” (re short) at much higher prices to rinse and repeat the scam. As the global Ponzi is about to fail, these riggers are about to get the religious experience of their lives! Gold will again be seen as “money”, which will make high quality gold and silver bearing properties “banks”. The train is now leaving the station. You either get on board now and take a ride to the greatest redistribution of wealth in human history, or …wallow with no purchasing power in the debt-based currency system as it bankrupts into a vortex that will take everything paper straight to hell!”
Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: HYMC) (“Hycroft” or “the Company”), a gold and silver development company that owns the Hycroft Mine in the prolific mining region of Northern Nevada , announces that it has been working with Shareholder Intelligent Services, LLC (“ShareIntel”) for several months to review the trading of the Company’s common stock in order to track, identify, and monitor for potentially illegal short selling activities and deploy solutions to help combat any such activities.
