Coffee Prices on the Rise


Posted originally on Sep 19, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

Coffee

Coffee prices are the latest grocery item troubling American consumers. The United States is the world’s largest importer of coffee, but produces less than 0.1% of all coffee for domestic consumption, importing over $8.2 billion (1.6 metric tons) of coffee last year alone. The average retail price of coffee spiked 21% in the past year, marking the sharpest rise since the late 1990s.

Tariffs are certainly part of the problem. Brazil produces around 37% of the world’s coffee, but now faces a 50% tariff on coffee beans. The average price of Brazilian coffee now sits around $6 per pound. Brazil also experienced a depleted harvest in 2024-25 due to drought and unfavorable weather conditions. The harvest was 9% beneath traditional levels. Global production rose by 4.3 million bags, but was offset by lower stocks, and prices remained high. The US spent $1.41 billion last year on Brazilian coffee alone, and a 50% tariff in addition to increased prices is causing grocers and retailers to raise prices.

Brazil and Colombia primarily focus on Arabica beans, with Colombia being America’s second-highest importer. In far contrast to Brazil, Colombia’s tariff sits at 10%. Still, the US purchased $1.4 billion in coffee beans from Colombia last year and any levy will be felt by consumers. Colombia’s 2024-25 coffee harvest was extremely robust at 13.2 million bags, a 23% increase from the previous year. Farmers believe production will fall by 5.3% in the coming harvest due to weakening La Nina conditions and heavy rain.

Vietnam supplies 17% of the world’s coffee, but the US mainly relies on South America for imports. Vietnam’s tariff sits at 20% and many roasters have complained that this is affecting their bottom line. Same with Indonesia, which has a 19-32% levy.

Brazilian coffee exports to the US have fallen by nearly 46% since tariffs were imposed. While the US consumed 15% of Brazilian coffee exports, Germany was close behind at 14% and has surpassed the US to become the top buyer. It is undeniable that tariffs on Brazil have caused a spike in US coffee prices, which has been exacerbated by a weak harvest.

Panic Afoot – Professional Marxists Panic Over the Rise of Decency and Morality Following Charlie Kirk Murder

There is no Charlie Kirk equivalent on the left.

There is no leftist individual willing to enter the intellectual or philosophical gauntlet of debate and challenge a conservative audience to “come to the front of the line” and convince the audience of their viewpoint.

There is no person of leftist ideology capable of advocating their man-made construct against the natural laws that underpin the conservative worldview of a Charlie Kirk audience.  Because the only place their ideology can survive is in an arena without challenge.

Consider the example of the ‘Law of the Farm’ vs. the ‘Law of the School’. Natural principles vs. those made by man.

A student can skip class, take few notes, pay only half attention, then stay up all night cramming for a test and manage a decent grade. It depends on the student’s goal: grades or learning.

The student can choose to manipulate the education, by avoiding the learning and capturing the grade.

This is possible in the ‘Law of the School’. However, a farmer cannot take short cuts. A farmer cannot avoid tending to the soil, preparing the seed, fertilizing and nurturing the crop, and still gain benefit of an abundant harvest.

The farmer must necessarily do all of the appropriate work in order to benefit from it. Such is the ‘Law of the Farm’, the natural law. This is the position from which Charlie Kirk effectively advanced his beliefs.

Stay elevated, and you will notice there is considerable panic visible amid the professional Marxists.

The comments and quick responsive appearance of Barack Obama; the jaw-agape leftist reactions to backlash upon Jimmy Kimmel; corporate media entities trying to cope with the reemergence of shame; the fallback to tribalism and the need for reassurance from their echo chamber, and many other visible similarities are all akin to an abuser being confronted by the family of the abused.

The constant drumbeat of leftism has battered the minds of Americans for so long, the perpetrators took it for granted they would always hold the strongest position – even if in the minority.  However, something has radically changed.

A martyr is defined as a person who suffers death as a penalty for refusing to renounce their religion or beliefs. More broadly, a martyr is someone who sacrifices their life, well-being, or freedom to support a principle, belief, or ideology that they hold dear. In the attack posture to defend themselves from the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the left is proving they just created a martyr.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.  The panic amid the collective left is so extreme, every mechanism within their arsenal is being deployed to gain control of the narrative.  Some of these efforts are so over-the-top they have become absurd.

[SOURCE]

Politico identifies the global response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination as the result of international manipulation. Their assertion is absurd in all contexts.

Their claims are created within the hive of those who previously constructed the false reality around COVID-19 and subsequent vaccination protocols.  People like security analysts at the Center for Internet Security and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, as well as voices within the control mechanisms of NewsGuard, the private sector information police.

“Mentions of Charlie Kirk appeared more than 6,000 times across official media in China, Russia and Iran between Sept. 10-17, according to misinformation tracker NewsGuard.”

I’m sure the mention of Charlie Kirk appeared at least that many times in China, Russia and Iran, because what Charlie Kirk embodied is something much larger than the geopolitical constructs their government boundaries represent.

A conservative estimate on Google searches alone is around 2.8 million. Multiply that number by every social media and internet communication platform, then consider the ‘mentions‘ found in news feeds and other tech systems.  The result is beyond billions.

God is universal. God is truth.  Trying to manipulate the natural world is the professional skillset of all these various NGOs and influence agents who operate in a realm they ultimately do not control.

Two days ago, a 40-year-old Taiwanese woman was riding the escalator halfway around the world from where Charlie Kirk was killed.  What was she watching on her phone as she stood descending, a Charlie Kirk speech video with close-captioning translation.

The next evening, two middle-age Chinese men were having drinks in an Asian restaurant speaking concerningly in Mandarin.  What were they discussing? Charlie Kirk’s assassination.  I stand as silent witness to these events.

We have never witnessed anything even remotely similar to what is unfolding in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder.

For the first time in the history of social media, the influence of a person is expanding more in their death than it was during their life.  That expansion is seemingly exponential, and substantively spiritual.

I have no idea what the future of this story will entail, yet I am absolutely certain of the author who controls it.

Fed Cuts 25BPS

Federal Reserve Bank

Members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted to reduce the benchmark federal funds rate by 25 basis points, setting the new target range at 4 percent to 4.25 percent. The Fed statement was clear, with one dissenter, Stephen Miran, who recently joined.

“Recent indicators suggest that the growth of economic activity moderated in the first half of the year. Job gains have slowed, and the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. Inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated,” the FOMC said in a statement.

The market was widely expecting a 25 basis point cut in rates, as our computer has been forecasting for months that any cut would be in September, not before. However, there were the typical groups of questionable analysts touting that a 50 basis point cut could lead to a more significant market rally.

With the prospect of war on the horizon and a sovereign debt crisis brewing in the EU, there are realistic expectations for a continued decline. The risk is that Trump will interfere in the Fed, leading to a loss of confidence worldwide, which would result in unrealistic interest policy into early 2026. There remains the risk of another cut during the next quarter.

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance Will Be Attending Charlie Kirk Funeral


Posted originally on CTH on September 17, 2025 | Sundance

It is not common when both the sitting President of the United States and the Vice President attend the same funeral together, when it is not a nationally recognized dignitary.

Both President Trump and Vice President JD Vance will be honoring Charlie Kirk at the funeral service.  It is a fitting and considerate reflection of great honor, worthy of Kirk’s impact.

My dear friends, there is so much background stuff happening we are all watching in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination, it is difficult to find the words for any outline of value.

I cannot imagine how challenging life is for Charlie Kirk’s family right now, and out of the greatest respect I feel the best thing to do is just do nothing except honor his faith, work and legacy.  I have made the decision not to cover any of the controversial aspects, direct or ancillary, beyond what I have already shared.

Do I have opinions, yes.  And when my brain is full of things I want to say – my prayers and life lessons have guided me to understand that is exactly when it is best to say nothing.

My inner voice tells me to remain silent on any of the ancillary subjects until Charlie Kirk is laid to rest with great honor and tribute.  Then, when it is appropriate, to provide my personal thoughts on facets that may be valuable in context.

Feel free to share any subject matter in/around the storyline of this tragedy on any open thread where we can gather in fellowship. I know a lot of people are hurting.

Channel that hurt into meaningful prayer for them.
