Economic Headwinds

So much for “normalizing” interest rates. When even the mainstream financial media is picking up on the idea that interest rates are not only going to fall, but fall quickly, you just know that a recession is baked in the cake.

Billionaire John Paulson said the Federal Reserve has waited too long to cut interest rates and expects the central bank to lower them in the months ahead.

By the end of next year, “my best guesstimate would be around 3%, perhaps 2.5%” for the federal funds rate, Paulson, 68, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television.

The 2024 Cheat and What’s Being Done About It

After engineer and data scientist Kim Brooks worked on cleaning the voter rolls in Georgia for a year, she realized she was on a stationary bicycle. She’d clear a name for various reasons, dead, felon, stolen ID, living at a seasonal campground for twenty years, duplicate, moved out of state, 200 years old, etc., and back it would come within a month. At that juncture she realized that a program within the Georgia voter registration database was methodically adding back fake names.

She looked deeper. For new registrants, the culprit was principally Driver’s Services creating new registrations and in this case, the manufacturer was a person, or persons. Within the government office, someone was stealing names and duplicating, even tripling that person’s vote and then forging their signature. Sometimes it was someone who just died, or a teacher who had no voting record. In the case of a nurse who died in 2022 with three registrations, she was registered to vote in two counties, and all three of her voted in the 2022 election and the 2024 primary. Each signature was slightly different, the last three letters spelled, ly, ley, and lley

This operation works under AVR, or automatic voter registration, and is being used to register migrants. They will not vote, but their names have been entered into the Voter Registration database when they apply for a driver’s license and their vote will be voted for them. I imagine that this is repeating something everyone knows, but the borders are open for precisely this reason, so the Democrat/RINO machine can steal their votes. By the way, the process for advancing permanent residency has been cut from 11 months to two.

In 2020, twenty states used operation AVR. Of those, Trump lost 18.

The City They Voted For

Vancouver Sun;

A man with a history of mental illness, violent offences and more than 60 police interactions across the region was identified as a suspect Wednesday in unprovoked attacks in downtown Vancouver that left one man dead and another with a severed hand.

Vancouver police said they couldn’t identify the 34-year-old White Rock man as he hadn’t yet been charged.

“What I can tell you is this appears to be a very troubled man who has a lengthy history of mental-health-related incidents that have resulted in 60 documented contacts with police throughout Metro Vancouver,” Police Chief Adam Palmer told a news conference.[…]

Officers found a 56-year-old man nearby who had been attacked with a knife on the steps of the church and bleeding from his head. The victim’s left hand had also been cut off. He was taken to hospital and was expected to survive.

Eight minutes after the first attack, officers rushed to Queen Elizabeth Theatre at West Georgia and Hamilton streets where another man, believed to be about 70 years old, was attacked. He died at the scene.

Eat some eyeballs, apply for a name change and you’re golden, son.

The Titanic Economy

It seems that Doctor Copper is feeling ill these days.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. exited a long-term bullish position on copper and slashed its price forecast for 2025 by almost $5,000, citing shrinking demand in China.

Copper surged to fresh highs above $11,000 a ton in May as funds piled in. At the time, Currie — who joined Carlyle Group Inc. last year as chief strategy officer — described the metal as the best trade he’d ever seen. But prices have since slumped by about 18%, with ballooning inventories and a rare surge in exports from China sending alarms about consumption in the world’s top consumer.

 

“This is a population rife for Leftist hatecraft …”

A thread by James Lindsay.

As many of you know, I’m currently reading (when I have time to read) about the historical facts of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, which are shocking. We know our kids are being made into a new Red Guard, but as I learn, I see it far more in the illegal aliens in our countries.

The details about how Mao, together with his general Lin Biao and propagandist Chen Boda, were able to build (1962-1966) and then unleash (June-August 1966) the Red Guard in China, especially Beijing, did not make me think of our brainwashed kids. They remind me of “migrants.”

Aside from the raging Communist hatred and focus on the person of Mao, there are two key forces that created the Red Guard:
1) A “dreamer” population whipped up against class enemies, that’s new to the population (kids in China)
2) A two-tier legal system protecting them.

In China, Mao unleashed relentless propaganda, with the help of Lin and Chen, mostly targeting children, that
(a) extolled revolutionary heroes and martyrs
(b) decried secret class enemies through all the ranks of society.

Trump Shooting: New Whistleblower Revelations

PJ Media;

According to Watters , “Every couple of weeks, the FBI and Secret Service give us, you know, drip, drip, drip. Little info on the Trump shooting, but it never amounts to anything. The real investigative work is being done by Congress.”

He cited a new report from Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) that has uncovered crucial details about the incident. Higgins’ findings reveal that a local Butler, Pa., SWAT team operator was the first to engage Thomas Crooks, damaging his rifle and effectively ending his shooting spree before the Secret Service could fully neutralize the threat.

“I didn’t know that,” Watters remarked. This critical piece of information contrasts sharply with the testimony of acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr., who failed to mention the local officer’s role and took credit on behalf of the agency for neutralizing the threat.

“New images released by the FBI show Crooks’s rifle with apparently a damaged stock from the local officer’s shot. But when the acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe testified, he made no mention of this local officer, gave his agency total credit for bringing down Crooks.”
