Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

One of my son-in-laws grew up in Sheridan. It’s a very nice place!
I suspect that it often goes past simple agnosticism towards occult demonic involvement. More and more evidence of such keeps appearing regularly.
I visited Mexico briefly around 2000; I remember being struck with the impression, among the average populace, that there was still a popular undercurrent of fear of God. It struck me because it made me aware by comparison how little of a popular underpinning of a fear of God we had in our culture here in the states.
These are just personal observations, of course; no scientific polling or anything like that.
The claim asserts that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) reaching 100,000 is possible only through further collapse of the US dollar, drawing direct parallels to stock market behavior in hyperinflationary episodes like Weimar Germany (1921–1923) and Zimbabwe (2007–2009).
This claim contains a kernel of economic truth but is overstated, misleading in its absolutism ("only way"), and inapt in its comparisons. Below, I break it down using established economic relationships, historical precedents, and current data on the DJIA and US dollar dynamics.
"Only way" is dollar collapse: False/Overstated
Zimbabwe and Wiemar markets: Low/Not Cogent
The claims are hyperbolic skepticism.
President Trump has publicly predicted the DJIA could reach 100,000 by the end of his term (around 2029), attributing potential gains to policies like tariffs and economic deregulation.
As of February 2026, the DJIA has recently crossed 50,000 for the first time, closing at approximately 50,115–50,200 in early February sessions.
To hit 100,000 by late 2028 or early 2029 (roughly 3–4 years from now):
● Required gain: ~100% total.
● Compounded annual growth rate (CAGR):
→ Over 3 years: (100,000 / 50,000)^(1/3) ≈ 26% per year.
→ Over 4 years: (100,000 / 50,000)^(1/4) ≈ 19% per year.
How to calculate CAGR:
Use the formula CAGR = (Ending Value / Starting Value)^(1 / Number of Years) - 1. Here, Ending = 100,000; Starting ≈ 50,000. This is ambitious compared to the DJIA's long-term average nominal return of ~7–10% annually (including dividends), but not unprecedented in strong bull markets (e.g., 20%+ annual gains in parts of the 1990s or post-2009 recovery).
Long-term analyst forecasts (as of 2026) are more conservative:
● Many project 60,000–80,000 by 2029–2030 in base cases.
● Bullish scenarios reach higher with strong earnings growth (e.g., from AI, deregulation), but few mainstream forecasts hit 100,000 by 2029 without extraordinary conditions.
The DJIA (price-weighted index of 30 large US companies, many multinational) has a well-documented inverse relationship with US dollar strength (often measured by the DXY index):
● Weaker dollar → Boosts DJIA components by:
→ Making US exports cheaper → Higher revenues for companies like Boeing, Caterpillar.
→ Inflating foreign earnings when converted to USD (e.g., Apple, Coca-Cola derive 40–60% of revenue overseas).
→ Attracting foreign investment into US assets.
● Stronger dollar → Often pressures stocks by hurting multinational earnings and making US assets more expensive for foreigners.
Historical correlation: Often negative (weaker dollar correlates with stock gains). Moderate dollar weakening (e.g., 10–20% over a few years) can contribute to nominal DJIA gains without any "collapse."
Extreme dollar collapse (e.g., loss of confidence leading to hyperinflation) would indeed drive nominal DJIA sharply higher, as investors flee cash into hard assets. But this is not required for 100,000—real earnings growth, valuation expansion, or moderate inflation/weakening could suffice.
The claim correctly notes that stock markets "went vertical" nominally in these cases:
● Weimar Germany (1921–1923) — Hyperinflation (prices doubling every few days at peak) caused nominal stock prices to soar as people speculated in equities to escape worthless marks. However, in real terms (adjusted for inflation or valued in gold/foreign currency), stocks crashed or stagnated—many investors lost wealth.
● Zimbabwe (2007–2009) — Stock exchange rose thousands of percent nominally (e.g., 800%+ in some years) as a hedge against currency destruction. Stocks outperformed holding cash but preserved limited real value amid economic collapse (GDP shrank ~50%, unemployment >80%).
Key principle: In hyperinflation, nominal asset prices explode because the currency unit shrinks, not because underlying value grows. Real returns are often poor or negative.
These are valid illustrations of nominal vs. real distortion—but poor analogies for the US:
● US dollar is the world's reserve currency (~60% of global reserves).
● Federal Reserve has strong independence.
● Deep capital markets and rule of law prevent money-printing spirals seen in Weimar (reparations-driven) or Zimbabwe (land reforms, fiscal mismanagement).
● Hyperinflation in the US is extraordinarily unlikely (no modern advanced economy with reserve currency has experienced it).
Equating potential US policy outcomes (e.g., tariffs causing moderate inflation/dollar pressure) to these cases is alarmist and not cogent.
| Aspect of Claim | Veracity | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| "Only way" is dollar collapse | False/Overstated | Multiple paths exist: real GDP/earnings growth, P/E expansion, moderate inflation, or policy boosts (e.g., tax cuts, deregulation). Dollar weakening could help but need not be a "collapse." |
| Nominal surge in hyperinflation | True | Proven in Weimar/Zimbabwe: Stocks rise nominally as currency dies. |
| Direct applicability to US/DJIA | Low/Not Cogent | US structural differences make hyperinflation improbable; comparison exaggerates risks. |
| Implied outcome (bad for wealth) | Partially true | If via true collapse: Nominal high, but real purchasing power destroyed. Genuine growth would increase real wealth. |
The claim is hyperbolic skepticism. A DJIA at 100,000 could reflect positive developments (e.g., productivity boom) or inflationary pressures—but not necessarily or only a currency collapse. The Weimar/Zimbabwe parallels highlight a real risk of confusing nominal and real gains, but they do not realistically apply here. Trump's target is highly optimistic and would require exceptional conditions, but economic theory supports paths to it without catastrophe.
S. K.M. Beautiful! Very nice!
Bttt
Pres. Trump ended up winning NC 74k+ votes. Wonder why they are on this meme...
.
Dow hit 25k in Jan 2018 - 8 years and 1 month later it hit 50K.
The Dow has historically doubled roughly every 7–10 years during long-term bull markets.
look to 2034-ish to hit 100k.

for kicks, compare DJIA to $GLD from 2/5/2020 - 2/9/2026
