Earlier this morning in New York, President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
During part of their brief remarks (video below) President Trump noted in his estimation there could be a quick resolution to the conflict with Russia, saying, “I have a good relationship with President Putin,” to which Zelenskyy interrupted, “I hope we have more good relation.” In the artful and honest way of a man positioning for peace, President Trump noted, “it takes two to tango.”
.
The professional democrats and the professional republicans, essentially the UniParty in Washington DC, do not want the conflict to end. The money laundering process created by the Ukraine conflict with Russia provides affluence for a host of domestic and foreign political interests.
Zelenskyy was created as a figurehead for Ukraine by western interests, the U.S. State Department and foreign policy establishment. A change in administration stops the dynamic DC supports.
The only group who can end the conflict is the group who doesn’t benefit from it, that’s the American people. The only person who can end the conflict is the voice representing the group that wants it to end, that’s President Trump.

Former FBI staff operations specialist Marcus Allen gave stunning testimony Wednesday, outlining how the FBI targets and persecutes anyone inside the institution who does not align with the institutional mission of domination over the American public.
Marcus Allen, now a January 6th whistleblower, appeared next to Inspector General Michael Horowitz who has investigated the claims by Allen. IG Horowitz internal investigation is not yet complete; however, the inspector general confirmed how the whistleblowers inside the FBI were targeted for speaking up against the FBI manipulation and corruption they encountered. Inspector General Horowitz sitting beside Marcus Allen to confirm his testimony was unprecedented.
Allen knew that Confidential Human Sources (CHS) were used by the FBI during the J6 events, and FBI Director Chris Wray lied about it. The institutional accusations against Allen stemmed from a Sept. 29, 2021, email that he forwarded to supervisors and colleagues at the Charlotte FBI Field Office, which included hyperlinks to what was later flagged as “extremist propaganda” from “questionable sources.” Allen had his security clearance revoked and was placed on suspension.
An ongoing internal investigation by IG Horowitz is revealing that everything Marcus Allen stated about J6 and his subsequent targeting was accurate. Allen’s case against the FBI resulted in him regaining his security clearance and winning back pay, making him the only former spook to overcome the suspension of a security clearance.
During his testimony, Congressman Dan Bishop provided Allen the time to speak directly to the American public about the FBI and what the American people should consider about the institution. What Allen said in his response is chilling. WATCH:
Marcus Allen affirms from inside the silo, what many of us have said from the outside. “There are no current checks and balances” against the corruption.
The modern FBI is the police agency of a weaponized U.S government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to keep the American people under control through strict surveillance and a violent police state.
If a subject can be defined as a priority for the system of government in Washington DC, then that subject is the targeting priority for the FBI. It does not matter what priority is assigned by any outside interest on the issue; nor does it matter what level of importance exists from the actual threat itself.
Example. The FBI miss’s terrorist threats, because the FBI -as a totally siloed agency- is not informed of the threat from DC. If a citizen, group, or outside agency reports a potential risk it is not investigated. This surfaces in everything from the Boston Marathon bombers to the Parkland shooter, to U.S. gymnasts being sexually assaulted. If the “threat” defined is not a threat to DC interests, then the threat is not pursued by the FBI.
The FBI only investigates threats or subjects of interest that stem from origination in Washington DC. Meaning if the DC system is threatened by the subject, that subject gets investigated. If the DC system does not trigger the notification, the FBI does not investigate it.
In essence the FBI only investigates threats as they are defined by other agencies, or silos, within Washington DC. The FBI is the internal agency that protects the DC system. This is a bastardized concept, a completely screwed up institutional mission, that stems from within the term “the continuation of government.”
A local or state issue, is not a priority for the FBI, even if the issue is a major threat to the domestic tranquility…. UNLESS, that issue, person or group threatens the stakeholders within the DC political system. This manifests openly by the inability of citizens to provide information that triggers action by the FBI.
The FBI only responds to investigative actions requested by agencies within Washington DC. Typically, Main Justice or the DOJ is the source of those originating requests; however, sometimes the executive or legislative branch can trigger the FBI action, if the identified threat has the potential to upset political operations within Washington DC.
Armed with empirical, undeniable evidence of corrupt activity, I was prepared to engage the FBI when I was intercepted by a person who warned me about this operational mission. It was from that point that I really began to understand the FBI as a silo within the system that is entirely predicated on self-preservation.
If a person brings a federal corruption issue to the FBI (like evidence of corrupt activity), they will end up being a target of the FBI because the evidence itself is likely adverse to one or more interests within DC. There are many reference examples, but two you will likely know are James O’Keefe (Ashley Biden diary) and/or voter fraud (writ large, with Michigan as a great example).
Because the Biden Diary threatened the DC government interest, O’Keefe quickly became a target. Because voter fraud in Michigan threatened the DC government interest, the FBI stepped in to cover it up. You can say the same for the Awan brothers, the Huma Abedin laptop, the Clinton classified emails and many more.
The FBI has two ways to protect the interests of DC: (1) Defend by investigating the accuser, evidence holder, or person who raises the issue. (2) Defend by non-investigation of the subject matter (Olympic Gymnasts, Epstein, etc). Again, if the institutional interests within DC are threatened by the subject matter, the objective of the FBI is to defend those institutional interests.
The FBI is not a federal investigative agency with a mission to serve and protect the people of the United States. The FBI is a federal investigative agency with a mission to protect the institutional interests of Washington DC. Once you understand this process with clarity then everything the FBI does and does not investigate, makes sense.
This operational mission of the FBI explains why when a citizen brings an issue to the FBI, the citizen is more than likely going to end up as a target. This reality is key to understanding the disparity between what people perceive as the FBI mission, and what the ACTUAL mission is.
This is not some off-the-cuff disparagement or conspiracy theory; this is the fact-based reality of how the FBI works. Even in my own discussions with John Durham’s FBI investigators, they openly admitted how their operational mission does not permit them to entertain any outside evidence of corruption or wrongdoing within U.S. govt.
When you understand how it works, then you start to realize the futility of expecting any investigative outcome from the FBI toward anything that does not threaten Washington DC. Protecting the DC system IS the goal, the priority, the operational mission; nothing more. Does the FBI inability to track the J6 pipe-bomber make more sense now? There are a tremendous number of examples.
The various FBI offices distributed around the nation are essentially interception venues, constantly on the lookout to protect the interests of DC. If an issue surfaces that could potentially put the administrative state, or any actor therein at risk, the FBI is far more likely to intercede, intercept and manage away the issue.
The FBI are essentially investigative managers; they are not concerned with fraud or criminal wrongdoing when/if that fraud or corruption might put a part of the DC system at risk. Instead, the FBI will take control of the problem and throw their investigative blanket over it (Ex. Hunter Biden laptop, as given by the computer repair shop). The non-pretending people within the FBI will admit this, as will just about anyone who has ever had experience reaching out to the FBI for investigative assistance.
Once you take this context and apply it to examples you can reference, then suddenly everything the FBI does and does not do, makes sense. Every contradiction, and I do mean each example that might be pulled into the conversation as a reference point, makes sense from the reality of this perspective. The raid on Mar-a-Lago and the targeting of President Trump is another brutally obvious example.
Many voices have recently started calling for the elimination of the FBI as a result of controversies that surround this factual mission priority. Those voices are not wrong; in fact, there is no way to reform the FBI as an investigative agency, because the mission of the agency is the opposite of what it should be.
The FSB is known to protect the interests of the Russian government; this is accepted and no longer arguable. However, the same purpose is true with the USA and the FBI relationship toward government. Unfortunately, the system of government that benefits from this protection is never going to willingly remove their guards.
The last point on this issue is even more alarming. Only a handful of people within Washington DC will admit the truth behind the FBI mission. Former FBI staff operations specialist Marcus Allen is one of that small group.
JAN 6TH: Democrats knew there were federal agents and assets in and around the Capitol on January 6th and did everything they could to block and delay the Inspector General's investigation. It is now clear there were agents and assets the only question left to answer is how many… pic.twitter.com/Ca9flkCHO7

There will be a war in the Middle East, and many are looking at this as the End Times from three different religions. The majority of Israelis of all faiths support a ground invasion of southern Lebanon. Hezbollah has been firing rockets for almost a year now, and they have turned the majority of Israelis against them. The Lebanese government has included Hezbollah ministers, and they have surrendered the safety of their own people to Hezbollah, thereby endorsing war with Israel. The deep resentment that festers in the Middle East I do not see as ever being resolved. When that becomes the reality, then war is inevitable.
Hezbollah has assumed that Iran would rush to join the party. But Putin has been warning them that the time is not right. Putin understands the game. He may be hoping Trump is elected to shut down World War III. However, the model concerning market activity suggests that things may not pan out as many have assumed.
While October is a key near-term target, the major target will be March/April next year.

APR fees on credit cards have never been higher, reaching an average of 24.92% as of September 2024 in the United States. In fact, credit card interest rates have not been beneath 10% since the early 90s. Consumer debt has never been higher and countless households have fallen into a snowball situation where they simply accumulate more debt in a failed attempt to pay off the old. Donald Trump has offered the most extreme solution presented by a politician thus far – capping credit card interest fees at 10%.
Bernie Sanders once proposed a 15% cap to the shock of many. Biden attempted to implement an $8 cap on late fees alone but was prevented from doing so. Banks have continued raising their fees and interest rates as more households fall behind.
Prior to the pandemic, Americans paid $120 billion annually in credit card interest fees from 2018 to 2020, amounting to $1,000 annually per household. In 2022, consumers were paying $105 billion in interest as it has become the main cost behind having a credit card. Rates on credit cards have doubled in a mere decade from 12.9% in 2013 to 22.8% in 2023.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York released data in August indicating that American credit card debt reached a new high of $1.14 trillion. A separate report from TransUnion has found that the average American is carrying $6,329 in personal credit card debt, a 4.8% uptick from last year. Americans have amassed over $250 billion in the past two years alone amid record inflation. Bankrate reported that 46% of cardholders cannot pay off their monthly credit card payments, up 7% from last year.
Banks are naturally against this cap. Those in disagreement believe banks will be reluctant to lend and tighten their requirements. To some extent, that may not be a negative. Living within your means has completely changed under Bidenomics and everyone is adjusting to the new cost of living. In the meantime, people need to catch up to get back on their feet before the debt vortex sucks them into a hole that becomes nearly impossible to climb out of.
Consumers have been forced to pay for basic necessities on credit due to the astounding rise in prices for basics like energy, food, and rent. “While working Americans catch up, we’re going to put a temporary cap on credit-card interest rates,” Trump said at the rally in New York. “We can’t let them make 25 and 30 percent.” Now, Trump is proposing a temporary cap. We permit countless stimulus packages that never stimulate the economy and hand out funds recklessly to help those on hard times. Yet, no one has proposed temporarily capping credit card fees to give consumers time to pay off their debts. The banks are still profiting, albeit less.
No one will profit if consumers default on their personal debts and they are sent to collectors never to be paid. This solution could give households adequate time to adjust their personal finance strategies.

QUESTION: It is becoming obvious Jamie Dimon seems to be following you. Whatever you say, he says a few days later. He has come out and said that the greatest threat is “not inflation, a recession, or AI taking over humanity; rather, it’s rising geopolitical tensions that have already flared up into armed conflicts around the world.” He and you are the only people sounding that alarm. At Davos, he even said Trump was right about the border and about NATO. Do you guys have coffee together?
JG
ANSWER: I would be glad to have coffee with Jamie. No, I do not speak to him. He is a pretty smart guy who can see the events himself. Who tunes into Socrates? I am never at liberty to say. I’m not the CEO of Telegram. Confidentiality is our motto. They tried that with me. It didn’t work.

The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee (SHSGAC) wants everyone to know that the Secret Service really made a lot of mistakes in Butler, Pennsylvania, leading to the attempted assassination of President Trump.
Multiple systemic failures of U.S. Secret Service protocols took place. Ultimately, mistakes were made.
“The Committee finds that USSS failures in planning, communications, security, and allocation of resources for the July 13, 2024 Butler rally were foreseeable, preventable, and directly related to the events resulting in the assassination attempt that day,” the committee reported.
“The Committee also finds that siloed communications and coordination problems between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials remain unaddressed and were a contributing factor to the failures at the July 13 Butler rally,” it added. ~ John Solomon
The Senate report comes on the heels of the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, telling President Trump that U.S. intelligence has identified Iran as the most likely group attempting to organize death threats and activities against him.
Video Zelensky’s Victory Plan is World War III. He wants unrestricted access to long-range missiles and to attack Russia on a major scale. He is telling everyone that peace talks are out of the question. This is the time to destroy Russia. Everything he says has been just a lie. There were peace negotiations, and both sides were ready to sign. His Victory Plan depends entirely on the West handing him long-range missiles.
If Putin does not respond forcefully, he will be overthrown, and the Russian Neocons will seize control, and our computer shows a flatline on Ukraine until 2027. It will be wiped out. I have never seen this pattern show up in any country in our modern era.
Borris Johnson flew to Kiev and told Zelensky he was NOT ALLOWED to have peace with Russia. This has been about creating World War III so they can default on all debts, institute the new central bank digital currency, impose Biometric ID, and restrict travel worldwide.
Ukraine signed the Minsk Agreement. The Donbas were to be allowed to hold their elections and separate from Ukraine. It was to split according to ethnic lines, the same way Yugoslavia broke up. The Neocons wanted war, and the Donbas were not to be allowed to split, so they lied and negotiated a treaty to only allow Ukraine time to build an army and then refused to honor the treaty.
These people will take us into World War III no matter what. Zelensky is just an actor, and what he is doing is a crime against all humanity. How many millions will die for what he is proposing?
Here is the Neocon Lyndsey Grachm. He told the truth. This is not about democracy, the sovereignty of Ukraine, or the Ukrainian people. This is about a huge gas field under Crimea that he admits is $10 to $12 trillion, and they do not want Russia and China to get their hand on it.

Lyndsey could care less if any Ukrainian is still alive when this is done. His personal hatred of Russians is famous.

COMMENT: Marty, it is amazing that the world is not focusing on your model. Consumer confidence in the US took a nose dive, which was the largest decline in more than three years. The ECM turns, and central backs began to cut rates within weeks, and you explained that recessions are born when people lose confidence in the future. Well, everything you have taught us is always correct. I do not know what it will take to wake up. The WSJ, FT, and every business publication should be reporting on your forecasts. It appears they are just part of the fake news.
Keep up the fantastic work.
BB
REPLY: I am not entirely sure why the WSJ and the FT, among others, will not discuss the ECM. They only preach the traditional Keynesian Economics that is still taught in universities, maintaining that the business cycle is not definitive. Thus, it is random, so it can be manipulated under Keynes to eliminate recessions and depressions. That was the same storyline I was taught in school back in the ’60s.
Other than Nick Palmgarten at the New Yorker, who called the ECM the Secret Cycle, no major media has ever wanted to discuss that there is a definitive aspect to the business cycle. That goes against all the Ivy League universities. I suppose they do not want to rock the boat. I had a discussion about this model with Paul Volcker back in 1999. Paul agreed the business cycle was about 8 years. He had even put out his book entitled Rediscovery of the Business Cycle.
Anyone who has had real live experience has conceded there is a definitive business cycle. Arthur Burns was Fed Chairman when Bretton Woods collapsed. He, too, concluded that the business cycle always won.
Milton Frieman came to listen to one of my lectures in Chicago. Milton said I was doing what he had only dreamed about. He had written that a floating exchange rate like we have today would emerge back in 1953 – 18 years before it took place in 1971. Milton understood the global interconnections, and that is why he came to listen to me.
I tried the BS random walks theory, which seems to be created by people who cannot predict anything. Even Keynes’ whole theory does not hold up. The market has NEVER peaked with the same level of interest rates twice because it is NOT some stupid one-dimensional relationship. I warned the ECB that going to negative interest rates would fail. If there is NO CONFIDENCE in the future, people will not spend – PERIOD!!!
With the prospect of wars everywhere, Kamala promised to change the filibuster rules so she can get Abortion through to kill unlimited amounts of babies, creating deep divisions and then taxing UNREALIZED gains that our computer warns would result in the biggest 2-year crash of the Great Depression levels, with such uncertainty, we are headed into a recession into 2028.
It’s hopeless. We have to crash and burn before anyone dares consider any new possibility.

We are the non-pretending audience that doesn’t need to have the points of continual similarity pointed out. However, there is something rather remarkable about those in Washington DC who never seem to be able to connect the same proverbial dots.
In the latest development of attempted President Trump assassin Ryan Routh, the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI are now admitting that Routh was on a watch list of Americans who traveled to fight with Ukraine. The people on the watch list were supposed to be scrutinized and tracked when they reentered the USA. However, Ryan Routh, “fell through the cracks,” thereby giving him space and opportunity to carry out his long-planned assassination attempt against President Trump.
The revelation itself is not a surprise. There is a consistent pattern of names registered with the FBI as potential threats to the homeland who “fall through the cracks,” including the Tsarnaev brothers (Boston Marathon), Tashfeen Malik (San Bernardino terrorists) and Omar Mateen (Pulse nightclub). It is always the crack fallers who seemingly end up carrying out their endeavors.
It’s likely the only reason DHS and the FBI are admitting to the almost fatal “mistake,” is because there is a document trail for Ryan Routh which will come to light as an outcome of DC’s “assassination review task force.” After all, Ryan Routh met with “someone” in Washington DC, when he was there advocating for intervention.
Someone was likely to discover that Routh was on a list of people supposed to be monitored, so DHS/FBI release the information to cloud any non-pretending suspicion upon them.
WASHINGTON DC – […] The Department of Homeland Security in 2022 launched an interagency effort to scrutinize Americans returning from Ukraine’s war zone. The previously unreported effort aimed to identify Americans who might turn violent upon their return, according to five people familiar with the plans.
Officials across DHS and the FBI began attempting to identify Americans in talks with Ukrainian authorities and analyzing intelligence about Americans headed home from the country. They also reviewed social media accounts for violent rhetoric. There is no evidence that Americans who fought with Ukraine’s military — which the U.S. government supports — have engaged in political violence upon their return. Many have died there fighting Russian invaders.
But Ryan Routh, the suspect who investigators say could have been waiting for the former president with a semi-automatic rifle for more than 11 hours near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, fell through the cracks.
One DHS official reportedly knew Routh traveled to Ukraine, though there’s no indication that the FBI ever investigated him upon his return and during his years-long and at times bombastic campaign to drum up support for Kyiv. It’s also unclear if federal law enforcement was aware he wrote a self-published book that appeared to call for Trump’s assassination. And on Sept. 15, he allegedly got within 500 yards of the former president before the Secret Service spotted him and opened fire. (read more)
As you take off your shoes and undergo extensive scrutiny as a result of the Patriot Act, the subsequently formed DHS and the TSA, it’s worth remembering, as initially sold, the creation of the DHS was specifically intended to stop domestic terror threats, ie. EXACTLY the activity that Ryan Routh was engaged in.
The justification to create the DHS and subsequent intrusive activity of the United States security apparatus, was to stop unstable and sketchy people from carrying out violence internally within the homeland. However, as many voices warned at the time, the mission of the agencies created by The Patriot Act, actualized with DHS and FBI conducting surveillance of parents at school board meetings, monitoring white men in the U.S. military, tracking pastors, preachers and Christian congregations, and registering law-abiding gun owners while the sketchy and unstable simply run amok.
Your sneakers and belt are a threat. Ryan Wesley Routh, eh notsomuch.
Sooner or later historians will admit, our current result is a feature, not a flaw, of the Patriot Act intent.
