After a vile, degenerate and blasphemous opening ceremony to the Olympics in Paris France, on the first day of competition the region suffered a total power failure.
Well, almost a total power failure.
You see, in the top of the picture showing the blackout, you might notice one area completely unaffected. That is the Sacre Coeur Church, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
.
A loving God will not be mocked. The light of Jesus Christ can’t be overcome by the darkness of man.
Our faith is steadfast. God is in control.
🚨🇫🇷BREAKING: Power Outage Hits Paris 24h After Olympics Ceremony!
Parts of Paris are experiencing total blackouts tonight, the reason is still unknown. The first clip below shows the moment of the outage.

As we head into the end of this cycle in 2032, this process concerns the collapse of Republican forms of government. We are rapidly approaching the collapse of Republican forms of government on a global scale, and I believe that this has become far more obvious since the COVID-19 scam. Even in Germany, friends think that something has seriously changed. We are dealing with the collapse of complete confidence and belief in the government itself, regardless of where it is on a global scale. This video is interesting, and it calls into question the tactics used by the government. The West always claims Putin has a double. Is the pot calling the kettle black?
Let us see what unfolds in the weeks ahead. The rumor is Biden will grant all illegals citizenship so they can change the politics of the country by creating a Democrat Progressive Dictatorship with one-party rule. Then, Biden will resign by September and let Harris become president to show the world she can do the job. In reality, she is just replacing a hand puppet and letting the Neocons continue to run our lives unimpeded as Blinkin and Garland, along with Nuland, use their Jewish heritage to fend off any criticism of their manipulations of society and thirst for war as just antisemitism.
They want NATO to create a false flag before the election to start a war against Russia. NATO will be beyond any congressional investigation – the perfect cover to start World War III. Haliburton moved to Dubai to escape scrutiny over the Gulf War. They will take Trump’s anti-war stance once again and call him Putin’s Puppet. Let’s see if they pull off this agenda. Our computer warns NOBODY WILL ACCEPT THIS ELECTION regardless of who wins.
We will have to go through this until the majority of people simply reach the conclusion that there is no trust left in those who wish to preside over us. The last collapse in government worldwide was all about monarchy. Nobody put it better than Thomas Paine (1737-1809) in his publication Common Sense. That was the inspiration that stirred the people to action. This is just part of the progress we see cyclically throughout human history. It is the political version of Schupeter’s Wave of Creative Destruction. The British even issued political tokens picturing the hanging of Paine.
Here is the last Private Wave #155 (1882.45-1934.05). We can see that a number of financial panics began during the third wave. That corresponded to the Panic of 2007-2009, which some call the Great Recession. The Fourth Wave marked the beginning of the Progressive Era in 1912, and that corresponded with the peak in government we saw in 2015.75. Instead of socialism, Trump was sworn in precisely on the Pi target to the very day, representing the opposite of the 1912 Progressive era. Would War I follow as we now see our world leaders are all pushing for World War III so they can (1) default on their debts and (2) hope to strip-mine Russia of all its natural wealth and resources? This previous wave peaked in 1929 and began the Great Depression, ending with Socialism and FDR confiscating gold. Hitler came to power precisely on the Pi Target from the to in, and there was a worldwide sweep of whoever was in power thrown out, marking the rise of FDR, Hitler, and Mao.
As in Physics, every action causes an equal and opposite reaction. Until we learn to live with the cycles and stop trying to manipulate society to create this fictional perfect world that cannot exist, as was the case with Communism, then perhaps, like a dog, we will one day shake off this political manipulation and just for once advance as a society.
Communism was tried in ancient Sparta, Greece. As I have said before, this city-state never issued coins. Yet they waged war against Athens and defeated the land of freedom and democracy in 404 BC. Karl Marx drew much on this segment of history, including the writings of Aristotle. Even Joseph and the Pharoach’s Biblical story is a blueprint for living with the cycles.
I see the world as the Biblical story of Joseph telling the Pharaoh there will be seven years of plenty and seven years of drought. This story attempts to tell us that there is a business cycle, and we better live with it. If you know when the cycle will turn down, you then prepare to live with it and reduce its impact on society.
Both Keynes and Marx pushed the theory that the government possessed the power to alter the direction of the economy. Neither man understood the complexity of the global economy and how we are all interconnected. If it were not for World War I and II, the capital would never have shifted from Europe to America, replacing London as the Financial Capital of the World.
Even when we look at war, this has plagued human society for thousands of years. War comes when economic distress is set in motion just as the Barbarians smelly weakness in Rime and then struck. Some sought to wage wars of conquest. However, once an empire has risen to its maximum state, then the political corruption internally eats away at it like a cancer from within. Thus, all empires, nations, and city-states are buried in a common grave because, as a collective society, we seem to be incapable of learning from the past mistakes of others, and inevitably, that ensures that history will always repeat itself. It would be fantastic if we actually advanced as a society politically, rather than just technologically.

The government insists that the economy is fine, thriving perhaps, and has asked the public to pay no mind to their current financial situation. No one, aside from those living off government assistance, are better off now than they were four years ago. Americans cannot be gas lit into believing the economy is sound when every social-economic group is suffering.
Americans have already lost confidence in the economy and, therefore, in the government.
A recent poll by Affirm found that 3 in 5 Americans believe the US is in a recession, and most believe that recession began in March 2023. Another poll from Guardian/Harris found that 56% of Americans feel that the recession has already arrived. Seven in 10 Americans have reported that they are unable to save for the future. About 68% of respondents from the Affirm poll believe inflation has caused the recession, but few realize what causes inflation.
Credit card debt has reached an all-time high, with 8.9% of balances falling into delinquency as of May 2024. Bankruptcies are on the rise both personal and corporate. A CNN poll discovered that 39% of Americans worry that they may no longer be able to pay their bills. The poll saw similar sentiments during the Great Recession when 37% of Americans feared the next round of bills. Moody’s Analytics believes that household spending has risen $925 per month compared to three years due to inflation. Sixty-five percent of respondents said that the cost of living crisis is the most significant issue our nation faces. Politicians would be wise to focus on domestic issues as the people are on the brink.
Americans are spending more on less as economic conditions have begun to impact the average person’s quality of life. CNN also reported that 35% of adults are taking on second jobs to combat the price of living. Sixty-nine percent are spending less on entertainment, a correlation we have seen with corporate bankruptcies primarily rising in non-essential sectors. Another 41% say they cut down on driving to save on energy costs. Sixty-eight percent of American families have had to cut back on grocery spending, despite US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen denying food inflation entirely.
Bidenomics failed. We are in a recession but not a depression. People hoard when they fear for the future, and that is happening not only as a result of economic conditions but geopolitical tensions and war will cause people to spend less. Then, to fund these wars and other spending packages, the government raises taxes, which is always recessionary. The computer had long warned that the American economy would turn down in May 2024 and not resurface until 2028.
I noted that real estate in the United States would turn into a buyer’s market in May 2024 going into August 2028 in a reversal from the buyer’s market we’ve experienced since 2020. The 2007 high on the Shiller Index was the precise day of the Economic Confidence Model. So far, all the indicators have confirmed that we should have a recessionary trend into 2028 with this turn in the model on this wave.
The National Association of Realtors finally agreed that we are now amid a buyer’s market after June posted the lowest number of sales for 2024 despite a notable rise in inventory. Home sales fell 5.4% in June from May, when the market flipped, to 3.89 million units. This figure is also 5.4% lower than home sales in June 2023.
Gone are the days where buyers would forego inspections and entering bidding wars where the listing price was by no means the final sale price. Inventory from June 2023 to June 2024 has risen 23.4% to 1.32 million available units. Inventory is still a challenge, as are housing prices. The median home cost $426,900 last month, marking a new record-high as well as a 4.1% annual increase.
Homes on the lower end of the spectrum have been keeping averages down. Single-family units between $200K and $350K rose 50% in the past year, according to Realtor.com. There are more homes available now than there have been since May 2020, when sellers reigned supreme. Mortgage rates are far higher than during the 2020 era, and Americans are seeing their available funds dwindling. It is harder for potential buyers to enter the market.
Smart money views mortgages as an alternative to unsecured government debt. Cash remains king with 28% of buyers who have the means opting to forego mortgages entirely, and often can decline high insurance premiums as well. We are also witnessing a mass migration from blue states into red states and should expect prices to decline where there is a dampened demand. It is difficult to view real estate from a national perspective in the United States as demand is up in red states as people continue to leave increasingly oppressive policies regarding taxation, crime, education, and business. If you were thinking of buying a new house right now, lock in the interest rate, for with war on the horizon, long-term rates will rise.

Britain believes the next world war against an “axis of upheaval” will begin within three years. General Sir Roly Walker has issued a warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin will seek revenge against the Western powers who supported Ukraine. He believes China, North Korea, and Iran will form an alliance against the West by 2027 to 2028
This is in line with our computer models that have long insisted we would see a rise in both international and domestic conflicts throughout most nations by 2027 going into 2028. Britain is already quietly at war with Russia. Our UK array on the 10-year shows higher volatility into 2025.
I explained at the London Seminar that the Brits are extremely effective secretaries and we have a massive amount of data that helps us to predict what is to come. Interest rates rallied up five years to the downtrend line, but during times of war, interest rates must go up. The pound could eventually fall to 80 cents – it’s a confidence factor. As long as people anticipate war, you’re looking at capital outflows.
Everything must be viewed from a global perspective. I also explained in London that Taiwan may cease to exist as a nation by 2028. “A problem in one area is likely to trigger a sympathetic detonation in another and therefore it is a global problem looked at from different perspectives around the world,” Sir Walker stated. The true problem is that the NATO Neocons cannot resist the desire to engage in warfare. They have already set up the stage to attack China over Taiwan. It is not a matter of China becoming sympathetic to Russia, but rather, China has long felt that the international community is interfering in their personal affairs.
The British army will be ready to fight and kill the new formation of axis powers by 2027. Sir Walker believes the British army is outdated in troops and strength and needs to rebuild. Every nation is increasing military spending. There is a cycle to war and sadly it will soon be time for the next conflict.

Some people struggle to understand the relationships of the IC silo operation in Washington DC. That struggle is completely understandable, because the modern functioning doesn’t come as an outcome of any constitutional or legislative framework. The modern functioning was created by the Intelligence Community (IC).
To share an example and provide an accurate elevator speech, CTH assembles non-pretending metaphors. Here’s the State Department and CIA joint silo operation. All of our foreign allies and enemies know and understand this metaphor. I have discussed it with several and many smile in affirmation:
The U.S State Dept and CIA operation is like a restaurant.
The Dept of State is the front of the restaurant, with the Secretary as the Maitre D’.
The CIA is the back of the restaurant, the kitchen. The Director is the Chef.
The menus at the front, as well as the specific seating/tables available, are dependent on the status of each guest. Each table gets a different menu.
The Chef has the opportunity to kill the diner. The diners know this and those who understand the nature of the business model consider the Chef the most powerful person in the establishment.
The consulates are the wait staff. USAID are the food runners. The Dept of Defense are the bus boys.

At the same time that Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington DC to rally U.S. support for the ongoing Israeli conflict against Hamas in Gaza, FBI Director Chris Wray is informing congress of the potential for domestic Iranian interests to be involved in the assassination attempt against President Trump.
What does each narrative have in common?
When outgoing President Barack Obama had his final “transition” meeting with incoming President Donald Trump, he informed the incoming administration the biggest geopolitical threat to national security interests comes from North Korea. President-elect Trump asked President Obama if he had ever spoken to Chairman Kim Jong-un. The response was that U.S. policy is not to reward aggressors with direct contact. As the story is told, those types of discussions are perceived within the USG as rewarding our adversaries.
That was that.
Subsequently, and in a complete departure from national security norms and USG policy as created by those who run USG policy – ie. The Deep State, President Trump told his national security team to arrange contact with Chairman Kim. I will not repeat the week-to-week events, but not surprisingly, things radically changed.
The intelligence community (IC), the true control elements of the deepest part of our USG Deep State, were not happy. When President Trump spoke to Chairman Kim, he violated one of the governing sacraments constructing the walls around the compartmented Silos.
If a president is told it is raining outside while sitting in a room without windows, is it really raining?
….Back to the IC and Iran.
Today while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning about the great threat that Iran represents, Director Chris Wray is telling congress of the likelihood that domestic Iranian influences might, repeat – might, have been associated with contact toward Thomas Crooks, the Trump assassin.
Netanyahu is warning congress. Wray is warning congress. Both warnings seemingly identify the same “enemy.”
President Netanyahu is going to Mar-a-Lago to tell President Trump the same message.
Should we see a signal through the noise, or just brush it off?
Again, it is irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion whether it is true or untrue. What matters is who is assembling the information that Chris Wray is telling congress?
Chris Wary maybe a willing salesperson, willfully blind, or just an idiot who speaks to the constructed analysis of those within the IC who relay information to his office. Again, it matters not.
If the assassin had succeeded, at the end of a long and painful period of investigation, would the 1,500-page report on the assassination of Trump, the ‘mistakes were made dissertation’, eventually end with the 17-agency IC conclusion that Iran was a culprit? Thankfully, we will never know.
I return to the originating example….
… Would President Donald Trump in 2025 ever be allowed to make contact with the leaders in Iran? Would he try? Are all of these current elements trying to ensure such a proposition never takes place.
We can easily predict that President Trump will stop the Russia -vs- Ukraine conflict very quickly, because the USA is essentially the unspoken source of that conflict.
A change in USA policy completely changes the dynamic in Ukraine. However, the same domestic political voices that are beneficiaries of that Ukraine conflict are the same domestic voices who are beneficiaries of the Israel/Gaza conflict. The difference is that we clearly see the former, the latter is only just starting to surface.
The IC most likely won’t be able to stop Trump from ending the Russia/Ukraine war, but they will try. However, the IC might be able to stop Trump from ending the Iran/Israel war.
Is that what we are seeing.
When Chris Wray is being informed, who is informing him?
