There are a number of factors that do not add up regarding the Maui fires. I am refraining from speculating, but based on the facts, the government allowed people to die. I reported that the fire hydrants were dry and the top official refused to use water reserves. The notification system and sirens mysteriously failed, leaving many clueless as to what was happening. Now it has been reported that the authorities barricaded residents within the fire zone.
Maui Police Chief John Pelletier said that the barricades were intended to prevent residents from coming into contact with over 30 downed power poles. Yet, they prevented the public from accessing Highway 30. Pelletier insists that the barricades were merely a suggestion, but first-hand reports state that people were forbidden to leave. Those who disobeyed and bypassed the barricades narrowly survived.
Another resident by the name Nate Baird was not aware of the fires until his two young sons said they smelled smores. He fled with his family but was told to turn around and go back to Lahaina. He disobeyed and lived. “Nobody realized how little time we really had,” Baird said. “Like even us being from the heart of the fire, we did not comprehend. Like we literally had minutes and one wrong turn. We would all be dead right now.”
What would you do if you were in the car with your family? Would you be obedient to authority or defy the law and save yourself? Stanley Milgram conducted a famous study that showed most people would blindly listen to an authoritative figure. COVID was a mass social experiment that also proved most people will blindly listen to authority figures. Even now, after knowing the damage that COVID caused, people are potentially willing to go back to masks and boosters despite it being ineffective the first time around. It is now more important than ever to think independently. No one is coming to save you and the authorities are not there to protect you.
As Stanley Milgram said:
“It may be that we are puppets – puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation.”
COMMENT: The Other Plan? | Trudeau, his Dad Pierre Elliot and Selfsame Joe Biden Socialist Goals. | “Every Time I Think of it I Get Mad.” “Many Years Ago there was a book entitled Social Purpose for Canada, each chapter was written by a different person, one chapter was written by Pierre Elliot Trudeau. And this book was outlining how they could socialize Canada. Make it a social nation. You know what the plan was? Here’s what they said, “We can’t socialize Canada as long as Canada is strong and united.” “We must Balkanize Canada before we can socialize Canada.” That was the plan; and Trudeau worked at it. You know when he was giving millions of dollars to various groups in Canada he wasn’t doing it from the write motive. His motive was to socialize Canada and that’s really what went on. The average Canadian doesn’t know that. I heard about this book, got it at a library and read it and I was shocked to see what the plan was and how they’re working this plan [to] Balkanize Canada split it into small groups. Then they said we can socialize these small groups one by one and eventually get the whole country. This was the plan. Every time I think of it I get mad.” Bill McLeod, Canadian Revivalist (1919-2012) comment on Trudeau re: Social Purpose for Canada by Michael Oliver. Published: December 1961.

REPLY: The LEFT knows very well how to take over a country. They did that in Russia and China. You divide the people into groups and turn them all against each other. The transgengers in the US are 0.04%, yet you would think that they are the majority. Here you have a male coach going into the girl’s locker room to change because he claims he identifies as a woman. If I did that, I would be arrested. So if I say I identify as a woman, that means it’s OK? What about the rights of privacy of the girls in the locker room? They already can no longer dream of getting to the Olympics because some guy claims he is now a woman.
As I have said, there are plenty of transgenders in Thailand since it is the sex-change capital of the world. It is no big deal because they are also respectful and call themselves ladyboys. Here, they are being used to actually divide the country and create the exact opposite of what they have been manipulated to do – create disunity – not equality. Here we can no longer define a woman, and soon Mother’s Day is to be Birthing Person Day. This is part of the LEFT agenda. Divide the nation into race, genders, left, right, and PREVENT unity. When everyone is divided, then they will not join together to rise up against the real enemy – those manipulating society pretending to be elected officials.
This is the oldest strategy. If you divide the people, then they can be conquered. It is as simple as that. Julius Caesar was able to conquer Gaul despite being outnumbered more than 10 to 1 because the Gauls never united until it was too late. Even in the final battle during September 52 BC, Julius Caesar sealed his fate as a legendary military commander at the Battle of Alesia, where his army of 50,000 Romans defeated 200,000 Gauls in what is now modern-day Burgundy, France. The Celtic tribes were never united. Caesar defeated the Belgae tribes as well as the Helvetia. Had they all united, Caesar surely would not have conquered Europe. Hence, keep your opponents divided, and you will win.
Even Amazon’s internal documents exposed that the company rates their stores using a “diversity index” and determined the threat of unionization is “higher” at stores with “lower diversity.” This is what the WOKE movement is all about — DIVIDE & CONQUER! This is the entire object of the woke movement — divide and create hatred between the groups. This is the strategy of how the LEFT is taking the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Today is a good time to remind everyone that CNN represents the public relations arm of the U.S State Department.
Two overlays: first, most non-U.S. government entities regard CNN as the state run media for the U.S. State Department, because it is. Second, the U.S. State Dept is the umbrella organization for most global CIA operations. In essence, the intel community reports that surface from CNN are from the State Dept/CIA.
In this latest example, the unnamed U.S. intelligence officials are once again promoting the proactive narrative that Russian FSB services are responsible for manipulating smaller networks of U.S. social media accounts, resulting in a disinformation program that flows upwards into mainstream media.
I find it interesting that the State Dept/CIA would push this narrative immediately following the suspicious reports of Yevgeny Prigozhin killed in a plane crash.
Washington, CNN – Russian intelligence is operating a systematic program to launder pro-Kremlin propaganda through private relationships between Russian operatives and unwitting US and western targets, according to newly declassified US intelligence.
US intelligence agencies believe that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) is attempting to influence public policy and public opinion in the West by directing Russian civilians to build relationships with influential US and Western individuals and then disseminate narratives that support Kremlin objectives, obscuring the FSB’s role through layers of ostensibly independent actors.
“These influence operations are designed to be deliberately small scale, the overall goal being US [and] Western persons presenting these ideas, seemingly organic,” a US official authorized to discuss the material told CNN. “The co-optee influence operations are built primarily on personal relationships … they build trust with them and then they can leverage that to covertly push the FSB’s agenda.” (read more)
Of course, none of the article citations bear any fruit when reviewed. However, that’s really not the point of the publication. The point of CNN pushing the narrative is to support a domestic narrative engineering operation that will later surface.
Have you heard of the duck curve? When Solar Power & Wind kick in, suddenly fossil generation must cease and when solar & wind collapse, fossil machines must suddenly generate putting enormous stresses on the machines.
History repeats largely because those in power NEVER consult history before they hand down some decree. The scheme behind letting all these migrants infiltrate the country is that they will vote Democrat and keep them in power forever. As I have said before, I was asked by Hong Kong to negotiate with Australia to try to buy land because it was being handed back to China in 1998. I met with the former Prime Minister Paul Keating. who at the time was the Treasurer. I explained I had a blank check and could pay off the national debt of Australia. The answer was always no. Out of frustration, I finally asked if this was a racist thing. He said no. He was Labour, and if they let these people into Australia, they would all vote conservative and change the politics of Australia.
This is why the Democrats are allowing the country to be flooded with migrants with ZERO skills and handing them $2200 a month, which is more than many get on Social Security. This is all politics. The migrants will be told who to vote for in 2024. After that, they intend to draft these people and send them to fight Russia in Eastern Europe.
During the 1840s, that is when the Sovereign Defaults were taking place at the State level. This unleashed what was called the “Hard Times,” coinciding with the migration from Ireland to America in the wake of the Great Famine of the 1840s. The proximate cause of the famine was a potato blight that infected potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s, causing an estimated 1 million deaths in Ireland from famine and an additional 100,000 deaths outside Ireland. This also contributed to the civil unrest in Europe that became widespread and evolved into the European Communist Revolutions of 1848. This would eventually also influence Karl Marx (1818-1883) and his first edition of the Communist Manifesto in 1848.
We must refer to history to see society’s past mistakes and understand what will unfold. The United States’ emerging market was engulfed in a Sovereign State Debt Crisis of the 1839-1844 period because Andrew Jackson wanted to destroy the central bank because his opponents had borrowed from the Bank of the United States. He moved the federal government funds to his “pet” state banks, unleashing what became known as the broken banknote era. Without a central bank, all the individual banks began to issue their own currency. The frauds were enormous. Nobody knew if the banks were solvent or not or where they even existed. Brokers in NYC would buy notes at a discount from questionable one-branch banks and place them into circulation.
The Panic of 1837 began the Sovereign Debt Crisis, unfolding into the Hard Times period. This economic event also destroyed the credit standing of ALL states and the Federal Government. Because people were already suffering from the economic crisis, the immigrants pouring into the United States sparked a real uprising, for they would work for little pay, taking jobs from the Americans. This became the Nativism movement (native American residents), which was anti-immigrant. On top of that, the old English feud between the protestants v. Catholics merely resurfaced in America since the immigrants were Irish Catholics.
The population of Philadelphia more than doubled during the 1840s from 161,410 to 388,721. It spilled beyond the original city limits (from South to Vine Streets between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers) in all directions, which put a strain on the city not designed to accommodate such rapid growth. There was also no professional police force in Philadelphia at the time. Previously, during the 1830s, there was also the national abolition movement. Many blacks migrated to Philadelphia, taking jobs from the locals, which was the origin of the Navitism Movement. This manifested in the Pennsylvania State Constitution of 1838, which rescinded the right to vote among the free Blacks. This was not racist; it was sparked by the economic decline and the rising unemployment. The Democrats today intend to give the new migrants the right to vote in 2024 so they can keep Biden in place.
In 1844, the rise of Nativism appeared because of the economic depression taking the form of a political position of demanding a favored status for certain established inhabitants of a nation as compared to claims of newcomers or immigrants. Nativism typically means opposition to immigration and support of efforts to lower the political or legal status of specific ethnic or cultural groups because the groups are considered alien to the natural culture, failing or unable to assimilate, taking employment from native sons.
Then the migration of the Irish Catholics sparked the Nativist/Protestant sentiment to explode in 1844. The Catholics objected to having their children use the Protestant King James Bible in public schools. The Nativist groups spread a false rumor that Catholics were trying to remove the Bible from public schools. The old hatred from the English Civil War rose again. On the evening of Friday, May 3rd, 1844, a Nativist organization called for a meeting in the Kensington district. They reconvened on the following Monday, and this turned violent as gunshots were exchanged and a riot ensued. Nativists converged on the Irish Kensington district over the next three days and burned more than thirty buildings, including a Catholic school and St. Augustine’s Catholic Church at Fourth and Vine Streets.
Order was restored only by the government calling in the military to suppress the riots. As always, once the first blood is drawn, vengeance follows. Again, riots broke out on July 6th and 7th, 1844. It was really about people migrating to Philadelphia during the hard times and rising unemployment. Just with the blacks previously, this was with the Irish, and this too was manifesting in anti-Catholic sentiment at the growing population of Irish Catholics.
Nativist Riots broke out again in July after it was discovered that St. Philip Neri’s Catholic Church in Southwark dared to arm itself for protection against the protestant mobs using religion as an excuse for violence. This time, fierce fighting broke out between the Nativists and the soldiers who were sent in to protect the church. The protestant Nativists attacked the soldiers, and numerous deaths and injuries took place. The violence helped nationally fuel criticism of the Nativist movement, which claimed to be victims. The Nativist Riots also exposed the need for local police rather than troops to maintain order. Eventually, the police department was formed and consolidated in Philadelphia in 1854.
With all the immigration both into Europe and the United States, this Soros theory of an Open Society is purely an academic fantasy. They totally ignore culture, which is the key to understanding that such a mixture undermines the unity of the state. The Civil Unrest that our computer is projecting, especially from 2024 onward, will be accelerated as it was during the 1840s by the economic downtrend from May 7th, 2024, to 2028. When the Democrats grant voting rights to these migrants in 2024, the election results will only add to a massive uprising of civil unrest, and we may yet face a separatist movement on a major scale.
QUESTION: Marty, How the hell are you? It’s been too long. This case of charging manipulation of precious metals being “spoofing” is the end of the free markets. This eliminates the locals, and trading will never be the same. I remember when the lawyers over the insider trading cases with Michael Milken came to you, and you wrote about that back then and how they turned it upside down. Do you think turning spoofing into manipulation is the death knell of trading as we head into 2032?
Pat
ANSWER: Yes, it has been a long time. I don’t know how you trade size anymore. I would not want to trade a major fund in this atmosphere. I probably should explain why Milken and all those charged with insider trading were really innocent. During the Great Depression, insider trading was defined as a director who knew the company would go bankrupt, and he sold his shares BEFORE releasing that information. That is what REAL insider trading indeed was.
The problem with our law is that a prosecutor gets to create a new theory of the law and then charges you, and it can be precisely the opposite of what the law was intended to do. I saw them charge Muslims after 9/11 with money laundering because they paid off one credit card with another. That certainly was not the intent of money laundering. If you have cash now, they will consider it money laundering because you are trying to avoid taxes.
The theory they used against Milken was that, let’s say, you and I intend to take over General Motors. The legal theory was that we defrauded the person reading this from the same OPPORTUNITY to make money. They did not lose anything. They turned inside trading upside down. The various lawyers came to me because I had written about what real inside trading was back in 1986.
Trading has always been just a poker game. When I would call a bank for a quote, they would always try to read what I would do and move the spread in that direction. Sometimes, you have to pretend to be a buyer if you really have the size to sell. If “spoofing” is now manipulation, trading is finished. You cannot call Goldman Sachs and say, gee, I want to sell $1 billion. They will clip you.
John Maynard Keys wrote in 1926 “The End of Laizzez-Faire” which was the piece that argued that the government can MANIPULATE the economy by using interest rates to manage demand. It was the “New Economics” which completely failed. Before he died, he admitted he was wrong and that not even central banks could manipulate the trend of the economy, no less a single market. Paul Volcker, back in 1979, wrote about the failure of Keynesian Economics in his Rediscovery of the Business Cycle. I remember Paul and I had a conversation about that back in 1998.
Even Larry Summers, the father of NEGATIVE interest rates, admitted that economists cannot forecast the future trend of the economy. Absolutely NOBODY can manipulate any market that changes its direction. Yes, locals could gun for stops and move the quotes on the London Fix, so it kicks off the stops. But that does not change the trend. Those who have pushed this theory that the metals are manipulated have been wrong in their analysis. They push this theory that the metals rise with inflation when they have not done so for centuries.
Gold declined for 19 years, from 1980 to 1999, while the national debt kept rising so much for the debt and inflation theories. Gold does NOT rise with inflation – it rises with geopolitical uncertainty. And when we were on a gold standard, gold declined with inflation. Moving to some gold standard will NOT defeat the business cycle and prevent inflation. There is far more to inflation than just the nonsense of the quantity of money. Most of the theories these people push to sell their gold are false, and as a result, they then have to claim that gold has been manipulated to keep it suppressed to cover their ass, for their analysis is biased.
Even the propaganda they put out about the Great Depression is false. Commodities peaked in 1919 with the shortages thanks to World War I. Silver declined and made its low in 1932, with the stock market collapsing from its 1919 high. Then there is the propaganda that gold and the share market are supposed to decline because of Keynesian Economics raising interest rates. Sorry! That is also a myth and fake news, yet they preach that every time. The stocks soared, and they called it the Trump Rally while the Fed kept raising rates. Gold also rose with rising interest rates.
Welcome to the chaos and misinformation that has plagued investors since the Great Depression.

There is no way to look at these events and not find us looking mournfully at the shattered remnants of the American judicial system.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the man who cleaned up New York City, removed the crime syndicate from power and held the prayerful hands of our nation during 9/11/01, is brought before a corrupt judicial system in Fulton County, Georgia, treated like a common criminal and targeted because of his politics.
This is shameful beyond words.

Ephesians 6:12-18: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness; and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

There’s no reason to chase down soundbites of Adderall Ron taking Casey’s meds again and nodding wide-eyed like a bobblehead going over a railroad track, or Chris Christie taking coordinated payments from the corporations to hit Trump, or wind-testing Nikki looking to formulate her positions based on audience cheers and jeers, or Mike Pence waxing philosophically about distractions to his swamp defense, or any of the other myriad of transparently obvious motives and intentions of the corporate consulting class.
A person really only needs to watch this one segment to see all of the machinations from Fox News in alignment with the actors on stage.
Starting with the ever-insufferable Martha MacCallum teeing up the pretense with the oft familiar Bret Baier raise your hand question. There is so much in this segment, you guys -super smart and full of intellectual honesty- just write about it in the comment section, and I will enjoy a non-pretending review.
Full credit to Ramaswamy for his non pretense, and the brilliant stare at Adderall Ron as he awaits the poll testing followers. Ramaswamy leads, then the South Carolina coalition join, then Bergum goes limp up, then Ron looks over and realizes he better join, which triggers Pence and finally Krispy. It’s all perfect. All of it. Perfect in the way it encapsulates the entire field of followers. Just perfect.
Additionally, I cannot stop laughing at the human cabbage patch doll, Bret Baier, needing to turn around to the audience to protect Krispy from the jeers. Too much funny – all of it. WATCH:
Vivek Ramaswamy singing:
…”clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right – here I am, stuck in the middle with snooze”…

The multinationals and corporate media conglomerates all have a vested stake in the outcome of the 2024 election. The parent corporations are all aligned with the Wall Street globalist agenda. As a result, all of the broadcast and cable outlets have a singularity of focus to support the elimination of President Trump.
Yes, when you drill corporatism down to its least common denominator, it’s the money motive – every single time.
Fox News is hosting the GOP first-loser debate, and Fox News is worried about their scripted theatrics being destroyed by the new media apparatus that now dominates the discussion. The old guard are trying to flex, trying to maintain control, but the insurgent rebellion is much stronger. The corporate media are squeezing Jello tightly in a closed fist…
