Boeing Cutting 17,000 Jobs Amid Labor Strike And Financial Losses

Boeing has announced plans to lay off 17,000 employees as part of a strategy to address mounting financial losses. In a memo to employees, CEO Kelly Ortberg explained that the company is facing serious challenges and that the layoffs are a necessary step to ensure future recovery. “Our business is in a difficult position, and it is hard to overstate the challenges we face together,” Ortberg said.

The layoffs come shortly after nearly 33,000 workers, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751, went on strike. The union rejected Boeing’s offer of a 25% wage increase over the next four years, demanding instead a 40% wage hike. The strike, which has been ongoing for almost a month, is reportedly costing Boeing close to $1 billion per month.

Biden sends missile system and 100 troops to Israel, deepening U.S. role

The United States is sending one of its most advanced missile defense systems and about 100 U.S. troops to Israel, deepening U.S. involvement in the escalating war in the Middle East amid U.S. expectations of an imminent Israeli assault on Iran.

The mission marks the first significant deployment of U.S. troops to Israelsince the war in Gaza began and comes just three weeks before the U.S. presidential election in which U.S. involvement in the conflict has been a polarizing issue on the campaign trail. U.S. officials have been encouraging Israel to avoid targeting Iran’s nuclear, oil and gas sites out of fear that it could spark an even larger escalation that upends the global economy.

Lavrov’s Interview With Newsweek Concisely Summarized Russia’s Positions

This might be the first time that average Americans read a top Russian official’s views without a filter.

It’s rare nowadays for Russian officials to give interviews to Western media, both because the first suspect that their words won’t be accurately reported while the second fear being “canceled”, which is why it’s so important that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov just gave a written interview to Newsweek. He concisely summarized his country’s positions on the Ukrainian Conflict, multipolarity, and the US’ upcoming presidential election, which will be reviewed.

Some Liberal MPs are mounting a new effort to oust Justin Trudeau

Pressure is building on the prime minister and his office as a growing number of anxious Liberal MPs are co-ordinating efforts to force Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal Party leader, multiple sources have told CBC News.

Disgruntled Liberal MPs held a series of meetings to discuss a path forward for the party since the surprising Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection loss in June.

Those talks accelerated with Parliament’s return and the Montreal byelection loss. They escalated further this week with the prime minister and his chief of staff, Katie Telford, out of the country for a summit in Asia.

Christians flock to Washington to pray for America to turn to God — by electing Trump

Tens of thousands of evangelical Christians gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to pray for America’s atonement and for Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Organizers of the event, billed “A Million Women,” described the gathering — and next month’s presidential election — as “a last stand moment” to save the nation from forces of darkness. For hours, the gathered masses sang worship songs, waved flags symbolizing their belief that America was founded as an explicitly Christian nation and prayed aloud for Jesus to intercede on behalf of Trump in November.

An Aging Volunteer Service – Is Amateur Radio Still Needed?

As the disaster unfolds in North Carolina, I am reminded of other significant events that have affected entire communities in one form or another. From hurricanes to wildfires, earthquakes, or any other major incident, one thing is getting less and less recognition these days, and that is the amateur radio service.

Yeah, I get it. There is a perception that it’s just a bunch of elderly gentlemen sitting around smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, listening to the ether, and pounding some morse code to some contact halfway around the world. Or maybe they are repeating CQ CQ CQ into a microphone and listening for a return call. They will spend a bunch of money on equipment, experiment with antennas and electronics, and even try to implement newer technology into what they do. Some might look at it and call all of this a hobby or even a waste of time, but it’s not because all of this may be needed for more than just talking to Japan or Croatia for fun.

DoD Directive 5240.01: The stealth expansion of military intelligence powers in life-or-death domestic scenarios

Imagine waking up to discover that the U.S. military has quietly been granted the authority to assist in domestic law enforcement activities—including the use of lethal force against U.S. citizens in certain circumstances. Now consider that this change was enacted just weeks before an election, already surrounded by concerns about unrest, civil liberties, and potential government overreach. This is the reality of DoD Directive 5240.01, reissued on September 27, 2024.

National Guard Puts Down Viral Rumors About Kamala Harris Posing With Hurricane Aid

The North Carolina National Guard explained to the Daily Caller why a plane loaded with aid for those affected by Hurricane Helene during Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit never made the delivery following claims that the visit was staged.

While on Shawn Ryan’s podcast Thursday, Aerial Recovery members Jonathan Howard and Charlie Keebaugh claimed that the North Carolina National Guard had to load an entire C-17 with supplies just to stage a photo op for Vice President Kamala Harris, adding that the loaded plane was never sent to aid in hurricane relief. Lt. Ellis Parks, the Director of Public Affairs for the North Carolina National Guard, told the Caller that the visit was not a photo op and that the plane suffered mechanical issues, which kept it from making its trip.

“Pastor Stanley checks in with some inflation thoughts.”

Today’s CPI Report is a Psychological Operation Designed to Dumb You Down While the Banking System Steals Your Money Through Inflation

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September came out today hotter than expected up 0.3% for the month for a ‘year-over-year’ (YoY) of 3.3% general increase in consumer prices according to the ‘official’ report.

John Williams of ShadowStats has a different take on the matter. His work on the economic numbers shows that ‘real’ inflation (the way the CPI was calculated prior to 1980) was consistently higher-about 9% higher than the way CPI numbers are calculated in 2024.

So what Mr. Williams calls the ‘alternative’ rate of inflation (that we all actually live in) is actually -much higher.

A Bank Regulator Provides a Frightening Look at the Trading Casino Jamie Dimon Has Built Inside His Federally-Insured Bank

On September 24, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released its Quarterly Report on Bank Trading and Derivatives Activities for the second quarter of this year. The OCC is the federal regulator of banks that operate across state lines, which are known as “national banks.”

The shorthand for this report should be the “Casino Report.” Increasingly, the report showcases how much dangerous trading activity the brokerage firms on Wall Street have been able to muscle into their federally-insured banking units where the deposits of millions of average Americans reside. Since the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 under the Bill Clinton administration, Wall Street trading firms have been allowed to combine with federally-insured banks – creating an endless series of crises and bailouts.

She attempted to blame Donald Trump.

“He puts himself before the needs of others. I fear that he really lacks empathy,” Harris said of Trump, also describing his criticism of her as “callousness.”

Putin Speaks – Hear the Russian president like never before

Back in August 1999, Vladimir Putin was unexpectedly appointed as Russia’s Prime Minister.

A former director of the FSB, who had cut his teeth in the chaotic politics of St Petersburg, he was the fifth man to hold the post in 16 months.

Given the country was gripped by political and economic turmoil at the time, most observers thought he’d be doing well to still be in frontline politics by the end of the year.

Instead, a visibly tired then leader Boris Yeltsin stunned the world by leaving office on New Years Eve, and appointing Putin as acting president and endorsing him as his successor. Just five months later, he won a national election and assumed office for his first full term.

Consumers Crack: Credit Card Debt Suddenly Plunges Most Since Covid As APRs Hit Record High

Last month, we – and many others – were stunned when after several months of progressively declining revolving credit growth, in July credit card debt unexpectedly soared by the most since January, sending total consumer credit growth surging by just under $27 billion, the single biggest monthly increase since 2022. We called it a “Last Hurrah” moment (literally “In “Last Hurrah”, Credit Card Debt Unexpectedly Soars Despite Record High APRs As Savings Rate Hits Record Low“) and said that “with consumers ever more strapped for actual cash and equity, as the personal savings rate in the US collapses from over 5% to 2.9% – the lowest since the Lehman bankruptcy – in just one year, as all the excess savings from covid are long gone there is only so much more credit card maxing out that can take place before reality finally sets in.“

One month later, reality has set in with a bang, because just a month after a bizarre surge in revolving credit, the Fed reported that in August, total consumer credit growth plunged by more than half to just $8.9 billion, below the $12 billion estimate…

Will Russian Buying Drive Silver Beyond $50

A report from the Russian news agency Interfax last week reveals Russia’s plans to substantially increase its precious metals reserves in the coming years. The report states that Russia’s State Fund plans to acquire gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and gemstones. Russia’s decision to add silver to its reserves distinguishes it from most other central banks, which have largely focused on accumulating gold while overlooking silver. Along with several other bullish factors, Russia’s silver purchases could be a key driver in pushing prices to $50 and beyond.

Bloomberg’s translation of the original Interfax report reveals that Russia’s State Fund plans to allocate 51.5 billion rubles (or $538.7 million) to precious metals and gemstones in 2025, with the same amount set for 2026 and 2027:
