No, Jamie Dimon isn't predicting an invasion of or civil war in the United States, but during his wide-ranging discussion at the Reagan National Economic Forum, he did issue some dire warnings about how American policymakers have made some very poor decisions in recent years that threaten economic turmoil in the near term and our long-term dominance in the medium term. Dimon, as you likely know, is CEO of JP Morgan Chase and the most powerful banker in the world, making him one of the powerful people in the world. While Dimon is not a magician, it would be stupid...

Terrifying video shows a diver being attacked by a shark as horrified beachgoers watched on helplessly. The unidentified diver is assumed dead after the attack at a beach in Israel that has been drawing tourists to see the sharks — with one video showing one swimming right up to a child standing in the water. The attacked diver was heard screaming, “They’re biting me!” before being dragged further out to sea off the city of Hadera on Monday ... They’re eating him, eating the man!” .... “Wow, wow, he’s with the shark, he’s fighting him,” ... “I was in the...

Husband and I went on our morning walk and it did not go as expected. He noticed a small red light blinking at the wood line as we approached and we found a game camera, on our land, pointing at our house that isn't ours. He cut it down (it was attached with wire to a tree) and is taking out the memory card as well as checking our home cameras to see when it was placed, but this is not good, husband is on the warpath. ... So it turns out it was placed last night while we were...

They’re still trying, and it’s not because he’s crazy and dishonest. It’s because he’s telling the truth. Watch this.

Roy from the Paul Harrell channel recently produced a short video with very good advice entitled ‘Go Buy A Gun.’ As he outlines in the video, you will want to check with local laws and seek out help if you’re not experienced in such matters. And we have six solid reasons to ‘pull the trigger’ (pardon the pun) on gun ownership. [Link to video at source] Here is a summary of his six reasons: 1. All part of being prepared.Owning a gun is simply a part of being prepared for emergencies. Where it’s better to have something and not need...

Before January 6th, 2021, financial surveillance in the United States was largely limited to a well-defined framework designed to combat money laundering and terrorism. Judicial oversight and clear legal protocols acted as key safeguards, ensuring that government access to citizens' financial information respected the rule of law. However, after the Capitol protests, these boundaries have shifted dramatically. Under the Biden administration, the purpose of surveillance has shifted from securing national interests to a tool for targeting political dissent—particularly individuals linked to Donald Trump and the "MAGA" movement. Take, for instance, the scrutiny faced by those who attended rallies or made...

Tax-exempt organizations have spent more than $100 million since President Joe Biden took office in 2021 working to prevent the federal government from deporting illegal immigrants, according to a Washington Examiner review of tax filings. The organizations, which include donor-advised funds shifting around millions of dollars in untraceable funds, Soros-backed philanthropies, and large legal groups, collectively spent at least $101.9 million on programs intended to aid illegal immigrants in avoiding deportation. While some of the programs paid for by these nonprofit organizations involved advocacy efforts, the vast majority were oriented toward providing immigrants with legal resources to thwart deportation. “They...

In an interview this week with Mark Moss of Market Disruptors that is posted at YouTube, Luke Gromen of the Forest for the Trees financial letter notes something about the U.S. Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that has also been contemplated by other governments and central banks. The U.S. Treasury Department maintains what is essentially its own gold revaluation account at the Fed, in which U.S. gold reserves could be revalued to create any amount of U.S. dollars for the Treasury to draw upon. 50 Utah Goldback - Libertas, 1/20th Troy Oz 24K Gold-Backed Bill 50 Utah Goldback - Libertas,...

From taxes to spending, Kamala is the most left-wing major party candidate since George McGovern -- who proposed a Universal Basic Income in 1972 and went on to win a single state.But her most hare-brained scheme -- so far -- has been price controls, where she's to the left of McGovern, threatening to punish grocery stores for daring to charge more than their costs.In fact, grocery stores make 1 to 2 pennies on the dollar. Meaning they have to pass along costs that come straight from the Washington money printer.That means price controls would, in short, break food.Price Controls Always...

Food prices are climbing, but soon will soar — inflation is ensured due to recent massive spending. As Americans are pushed to consume artificial meat as a solution to the alleged environmental impact of cow farts, the government seeks to expand its techno-monitoring, in the name of “health and safety,” by requiring the RFID chipping of all livestock. The argument is that animal tracking will protect the public from an animal disease outbreak.This pretense to control all food production for health and safety is reminiscent of the argument that gain-of-function research used to create the COVID-19 virus was motivated not...

World leaders at the United Nations Summit have officially adopted the so-called “Pact for the Future,” a sweeping agreement that purportedly aims to address the world’s most pressing issues. However, beneath its glossy promises lies a dangerous move towards centralized, top-down control that could have devastating consequences for individual freedoms, national sovereignty, and democratic governance. The Pact, hailed by the UN Secretary-General as a “vision for the future,” includes initiatives like the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations. But for many, this reads more like a manifesto for totalitarian governance than a collaborative effort to improve international...

As political tensions rise in the U.S., Congress is preparing for the possibility of a major “mass casualty event” that could dramatically change its makeup. With recent assassination attempts and increasingly heated public discourse, lawmakers are considering drastic steps, including a possible Constitutional Amendment that would allow for the direct appointment of House representatives in the event of mass vacancies. According to the Constitution, any emerging vacancies in the House must be filled through elections, unlike Senate vacancies which can be filled by appointment. However, following the events of 9/11, a law was enacted to enable rapid elections if over...

A looming strike by dockworkers at ports from Massachusetts to Texas could snarl supply chains and raise prices on a wide array of consumer goods—just as the holiday shipping season approaches. Members of the International Longshoremen's Association, a union representing 85,000 dockworkers, plan to strike Tuesday if they can't reach agreement on a new contract with the United States Maritime Alliance, which represents large shipping lines. A walkout would be the first East Coast dock strike in the U.S. since 1977. A strike would shut down container facilities at 14 ports stretching from Boston to Houston. Those ports handled more...

General Flynn: 150 counties in various states are complete disaster zones, biblical proportions that the federal government is not helping. In NC there are over 1000 killed in body bags, and there are many for which there are no body bags .Flynn estimates over 2000 dead. There are towns completely cut off, and homes are gone. Weather conditions are misty and wet at night, temperatures are low 30’s, by end of the month will have freezing conditions and possible snow. People are walking around with nothing.

Folks, advice needed: I live in South Philadelphia, the heart of the inner city. Some non-negotiable things: I’m not moving, I won’t surrender the ownership of my home, no surrender. So, in anticipation of the Election, I’ve stocked up on batteries, lanterns, charcoal, matches, canned goods, fire extinguishers, cash, gold, candles, ammo, non-firing weapons, first aid supplies (wife is a Nurse) and gasoline. Anyone better versed in this than I am have suggestions which I may have overlooked?

Just as former president Donald Trump told Fox News last week that he wanted to use the U.S. military to “handle” what he called the “enemy from within” on Election Day, an obscure military policy was beginning to make the rounds on social media platforms favored by the far right. The focus? Department of Defense Directive 5240.01. The 22-page document governs military intelligence activities and is among more than a thousand different policies that outline Defense Department procedures. The Pentagon updated it at the end of September. Although military policies are routinely updated and reissued, the timing of this one—just...
