How Could We Be So Stupid?

Obviously, the government should own everything, there should be no rents, no taxes, and they can take care of us – no problem.

Let’s see. The government paid millions to farmers to kill their chickens to stop bird flu. Might that have anything to do with the price of eggs? Then their is the problem that cows fart. And Bill Gates is cloning meat sho we can eliminate all the cows so he can sleep easy at night instead of have nightmares about their farting. So, open government stores, and then how will that bring prices back down? Oh, dah! Obviously, you seize the farms, just as Stalin did. Of course! That will work.

FAKE News in Finance as Well

Manipulating the dollar

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I read Reuters comments this morning and they said “The dollar sank to a three-year low … the greenback down more than 10% for the year. If it stays that way in the coming days it will be its biggest first half of a year fall since the early 1970s – effectively the era of free-floating currencies.”

The exaggeration and bias in the financial news have become outrageous. I have been in this field for 30 years. Never have I found the press so dishonest and politically driven. They are trying to create the collapse of the dollar to overthrow Trump. This is like the polls. They lie about everything.

Napoleon Under Covers

REPLY: I fully agree. It makes me want to quit and hide under the covers, for they are deliberately distorting the world, and everything they do is to push us into war. I am so sick of the exaggerations and lies, as they do not care about the people, the country, or our future. NOTHING – just the moment and how to win at all costs.

US1900 Y Tech 6 26 25

Here is our Dollar Index back to 1902. It allows you to see the real trend and put it all in perspective. Below is the US Dollar Index, which began in 1988. It omitted the dollar high in 1985, not to mention the dollar decline into 1976.

CNN Fake News Weather 2

Here is CNN faking the news, standing in the deepest puddle they can find, while the film crew is only ankle deep. Everything is always the worst they can possibly project. They trash the dollar because Trump wants to replace Powell with someone who will lower interest rates. Sorry, Trump is a biased borrower, not a lender. So he looks at everything from only one side of the table. Europe entered negative interest rates in 2014, strip-mining pension funds and bank reserves. Lower rates harm savers for the benefit of borrowers. This is always a one-sided view that never makes sense.

1929 Rates Dow Full

So let me see. Interest rates rise in bull markets and always decline in bear markets. That is reality! However, the press has somehow sold the idea that lowering rates is bullish for the stock market. It is all based on Keynesian Economics, which was based on Government Intervention following Karl Marx. This presumption that the government is capable of managing the economy under socialism is merely presumptuous. Why worry. The socialists will take everything, we will own nothing, and be so excited, happy, and thankful, for in their book, we are too STUPID to understand anything anyhow.

2007 Great Recession Int Rates

Here is the Great Recession 2007-2009. The stock market rises with RISING rates because that shows there is a demand for money and investing. When rates decline and even went to NEGATIVE to punish people for NOT investing, that is the truth. This is exactly OPPOSITE of the nonsense the FAKE FINANCIAL NEWS reports because they do not give a shit about the truth. They need to find the deepest puddle to exaggerate everything.

CALLMONY MA

There is NO definitive rule that even a specific level of interest rates will impact that market. The strongest bull market was 1929 and there we see the lowest level of interest rates. The other impact is CAPITAL FLOWS. Fort 1929, all the capital poured into the USA because it was here, hiding during World War I. There was the first G4 meeting in 1927 when the central bankers convinced the US to lower interest rates, and that would force the money to return to Europe. That failed.

1927 Secret Banking g4

If you think the stock market will DOUBLE, you will pay 20%.

If you do not think it will rise by 1%, you will not pay 1%.

A Dangerous Moment – The Targeting of Tulsi Gabbard


Posted originally on CTH on June 18, 2025 | Sundance

For the sake of urgency I’m going to talk in direct and bold terms about the targeting of Tulsi Gabbard.  The IC system is attempting to remove her as a disruptive influence by using Iran as a wedge to get her out, but the issue they have with Director Gabbard has nothing to do with Iran.

CTH approaches this after being very concerned about Tulsi Gabbard’s ability.  Not because of intent, but rather we doubted her understanding of the scope of the IC opposition aligned against an effective Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Gabbard started out with these weaknesses, but she learned quickly – grasped the opposition– and has become a transformative force within the Intelligence Community.  Director Gabbard’s recent efforts within the Intelligence Community Inspector General office is another feather in her cap of competence.  Gabbard is now a threat.

If President Trump allows or supports the removal of DNI Gabbard, he is opening up the backplate of his armor, and making himself vulnerable.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Chairman Tom Cotton, the disassembled National Intelligence Council and a host of Intelligence Community embeds would like to see Gabbard removed.   DC wants to see her removed because the traditional role of the DNI has been a willfully blind tool of the Intelligence Community; Gabbard is not that.

As DNI Mrs Tulsi Gabbard has ♦ chased down intelligence community leakers, ♦ released the JFK files, ♦ released Joe Biden’s domestic terrorism surveillance plan, ♦ intercepted an NIC plot to impeach President Trump (confirmed by Rubio), ♦ taken control of the Presidential Daily Briefing, ♦ and more recently begun to confront the weaponized corruption within the IC Inspector General organization. These are actions, not words, and those actions speak boldly.  Suffice to say, her effectiveness has placed a target on her back.

In the past few weeks, ever since she began intercepting the ICIG issues and using her own personnel to monitor the IC network, she has been targeted with several direct smear campaigns. It is obvious the targeting is coming from inside the intelligence apparatus, and perhaps even the orbit around/under CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Tulsi Gabbard did make a strange video about nuclear weapons contrast against the horrific outcomes in Japan, but that seemed to be more of a personal video entry expressing a deep concern about nuclear weapons from her own perspectives.  I said it was weird when I saw it, but I put that expression into the context of ‘surfboard Tulsi‘, the DNI peacenik. No biggie.

However, with the Israel -v- Iran conflict encompassing the White House, there is a transparent objective to weaponize Tulsi Gabbard’s activity as a contrast against President Trump supporting military conflict in Iran.

This contrast is being stimulated by the same elements who want to see her removed for the reasons noted above.

The latest narrative du jour in the files includes:

WASHINGTON DC – […] Trump has increasingly mused about nixing Gabbard’s office completely, an idea he floated when he gave her the job. In the White House there have been discussions about folding its mandate into the CIA or another agency, according to one of the people familiar with his response to the video and two others familiar with the matter — though it’s unclear what that would mean for Gabbard. The Director of National Intelligence serves as the president’s principal intelligence adviser and oversees the sprawling U.S. spy community. (link)

First, “nixing Gabbard’s office completely” is exactly what the bad elements of the Intelligence Community would love to see.  Second, “folding its mandate into the CIA” is like a dream come true for the darkest elements of the IC and Senate enablers. And Third, “serves as the president’s principal intelligence adviser” is false.  That’s the job of the National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio.

If there is one hope amid this looming and increasing drumbeat to remove her, it is that Marco Rubio likely can see exactly what the motives and intentions are from his former colleagues.  The elements targeting DNI Gabbard all come from SSCI Chairman Marco Rubio’s old tribe.

SoS/NSA Rubio might save her, as too may Vice President JD Vance.  Both of them are at the perfect distance to see the assembled drumbeat against Gabbard for what it is, a coordinated Intelligence Community operation.  At least that is my hope.

I am not confident they will succeed removing her.  However, what I am confident about is that if DNI Tulsi Gabbard is removed, she will not be replaced, and that’s as good as a win for the bad actors trying to target and survive Trump.

President Trump has no more juice or influence in the Senate.  That time is over.  Trump has exhausted all of the political capital he held in the upper chamber.  Every Republican Senator now smiles, nods and does whatever the heck they want regardless of how it impacts President Trump.  This is especially true for the SSCI who would control confirmation of a DNI replacement.  They Republicans do not have to pretend any longer, Trump’s juice is gone.

If President Trump allows the Brutus crew in his orbit to isolate, ridicule and marginalize Tulsi Gabbard, he will be putting a significant part of his administration at risk.  This is the Six Ways from Sunday crowd.

Powell Blames Trump Tariffs for Coming Inflation


Posted originally on Jun 20, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

JeromePowellFedChair

I repeatedly warned that the headlines would blame Trump tariffs for the incoming inflationary wave. Jerome Powell stated that “uncertainty is unusually elevated” as a result of tariffs, adding, “someone has to pay for the tariffs.”

“Ultimately, the cost of the tariff has to be paid, and some of it will fall on the end consumer,” he told reporters, noting that many retailers are only now replacing pre-tariff inventory. “We do expect to see more of that over the course of the summer.” This is a complete misread of the economic landscape based on antiquated economic principles.

Tariffs are taxes that are passed on to consumers. However, Powell is confusing a one-time price adjustment with a monetary-driven inflationary wave that began after the pandemic. The Fed is looking at the situation through a domestic lens while ignoring the international monetary crisis that is unfolding. We are experiencing a drastic shift away from public confidence worldwide, and that is causing capital to lose confidence in governments that are already deeply indebted.

The Fed is terrified of crashing the bond market if it hikes too fast, and equally terrified of sparking a dollar collapse if it cuts too soon. Government debt is no longer viewed as a safe haven. The computer has been warning that the sovereign debt crisis cannot be ignored for much longer. The Fed can no longer control inflation through interest rates. That was a Keynesian principle established when the government was not the largest borrower. Raising interest rates can have no impact on demand, as the government will simply borrow more, and the central banks simply have no say.

There is no limit to what the government will spend with “money” that simply does not exist. Governments continue to borrow perpetually with no real intention of paying back their debts. This is one piece of the Sovereign Debt Crisis that will implode like a nuclear bomb the likes of which we have never witnessed. The business cycle cannot be manipulated, and what’s more, the Keynesian model cannot account for declining confidence in both government and the economy.

Democrats Wage War on ICE Agents


Posted originally on Jun 18, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

California legislators wish to create a lawless state that empowers criminals posing as political activists. The Department of Homeland Security reported that attacks on ICE agents in Los Angeles have increased by 413% in recent weeks. Twelve LAPD officers were injured in riots across the city on No Kings Day. Criminals are throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks at civil servants paid to enforce the law, and worse, countless pages on the internet are dedicated to doxxing agents. California Democrats are now demanding that law enforcement agents remove facial coverings to enable these criminals to be clearly identified.

State Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat representing San Francisco, and State Sen. Jesse Arreguin, a Democrat representing Berkeley and Oakland, declared that civilians cannot decipher law enforcement agents from vigilante militia groups, although no such groups have been reported. The lawmakers are presenting legislation that would require all law enforcement agents to remove any facial coverings and display their name or other identifier on their uniform. Failure to comply could result in criminal misdemeanor charges.

Todd Lyons, ICE’s acting director, explained that this measure would endanger the lives of his officers. “I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line, their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is,” he stated.

Who are the Democrats protecting? The first large ICE raid in June resulted in the arrests of 118 illegal aliens, including five gang members, and people with prior convictions for drug smuggling, child abuse, domestic violence, robbery, alien smuggling, and assault. On June 6, 2025, when the ICE raids began, over 1,000 rioters surrounded the LAPD office, defaced taxpayer-funded property, slashed the tires of police cruisers, and attempted to break into the building. It took the LAPD two long hours to respond to the threat. This is one of countless incidents of brutality against police officers occurring throughout the state.

The DHS released a report clearly identifying the instigators. “These riots in Los Angeles and increased assaults on ICE officers come after Democrat politicians, including Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Wu of Boston, Tim Walz, and Mayor Bass of Los Angeles, have villainized and demonized ICE law enforcement.” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin noted that these politicians have released a slew of propaganda “glorifying rioters” and portraying police and ICE agents as “modern-day Nazi gestapo.”

Doxxing is a practice where a person’s personal information is released online. Online forums are dedicated to identifying ICE agents and releasing their personal information including home addresses, names of family members, and in some instances, where their children attend school.

The Democrats have become violent extremists. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has encouraged doxxing practices. “We’re going to make sure that the American people have the transparency necessary to hold people accountable,” he stated, adding to the Nazi rhetoric that 2025 is not the 1930s. “Every single ICE agent who’s engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to hide their identities from the American people will be unsuccessful in doing that,” Jeffries said.

Border czar Tom Homan said that assaults and doxxing on ICE officials is at an all-time high across the nation. States like Florida and Tennessee are introducing anti-doxxing legislation to protect officers. Florida plans to conduct routine patrols and check-ins to ensure the safety of law enforcement agents and their families. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) had to act quickly after the mayor of Nashville publicly shared the names of ICE officials involved in a recent sting. Such a move could not result in five years imprisonment.

Republicans were accused of inciting violence on one particular day in January four years ago. Yet, not a single Republican called for violence or encouraged disorder. The Democrats are openly opposing federal orders, encouraging violent riots and attacks on civil servants, and creating the grounds for civil war. Innocent lives are at risk as a direct result of this political propaganda, and for some reason, Democratic lawmakers are above the law. Civil unrest in America has heightened to outright violent pandemonium, and civilians who support conservative causes will be the next victims.
