US Real Estate Prices Rose in September

The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index reported a 3.9% year-over-year increase in home prices in September, despite a surge in mortgage rates. The growth coincided with the 30-year fixed mortgage rate’s climb toward 8%. Notably, rents are easing while home prices continue to rise. The report highlighted that of the 20 metropolitan markets, Detroit saw the largest annual increase at 6.7%, followed by San Diego at 6.5%, and New York at 6.3%. However, three cities, including Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Portland, reported lower prices compared to a year ago. The housing market’s strength has been attributed to a relative shortage of inventory for sale, which has supported prices despite the increase in mortgage rates and insurance premiums.

As I foretold in April 2021:”One of the factors that confirmed to me that we would be heading into progressive inflation long-term was the fact that this Residential Index elected a Yearly Bullish Reversal at the end of 2012. That confirmed the long-term trend had changed. However, urban condo and commercial properties were forming a divergence. I assumed that was being caused by the debt and rising taxes in cities. In that regard, I suppose I was only partially correct, for the rest has been the brain-dead response to COVID. For example, locking people down and causing them to lose jobs has resulted in a sharp rise in violence. Not just mass shootings, but all sorts of conflicts from domestic disputes to outright feuds. Cities, such as Philadelphia and New York, have sections in which the police have totally lost control. It is debatable if they will ever be able to restore civility to these regions. While Fauci claims to ignore the Constitutional violations, his agenda in helping Gates and Schwab is more than simply preparing society for the Great Reset. He is furthering the collapse of urban civility and this trend is part of what is driving this index. I would expect to see this escalate and if we make a new high on this index and close above last year’s high, single-family homes outside of urban centers will rise sharply into 2023.”

US Residential Real Estate 8 9 21

The typical analysis of sales down mortgage rates up is no longer the rulebook. As I explained in the Real Estate report provided to World Economic Conference attendees, America experienced a great migration after COVID lockdowns. People fled states with harsh COVID laws and rising crime. There has been a great wealth migration across America as both individuals and businesses are seeking refuge in red states. As taxes continue to rise to accommodate failed policies, the states with somewhat of a resemblance of taxation with representation will become more appealing.

There is a reason that Blackrock has become the largest landlord in the nation by far, in addition to plans for 15-minute cities. Institutions have also lost their confidence in the government – the 30-year fixed mortgage is more appealing than the 30-year Treasury.

For the past few years, I have heard countless realtors and brokers saying that home prices are expected to go down next quarter or the one after that. Inventory has continued to decline while prices and rates have risen. This is not the 2008 crisis as we do not have an over-leveraged market. The market can no longer be viewed from a broad perspective.

The EAT-Lancet Commission – UN to Release Meat Consumption Limitations


Posted originally on Nov 30, 2023 By Martin Armstrong

It has been confirmed that the United Nations will begin to advocate for a reduction in meat consumption this December at the COP28 summit. The UN states that “richer nations” must do their part to adhere to the Paris Climate Accords by changing their dietary needs. The people making these decisions on our behalf will be flying to the summit on their private jets and dining in luxury. These top 1% of “polluter elites” produce more carbon emissions than the bottom 66% combined.

The EAT-Lancet Commission (also called EAT Forum) has partnered with the UN to provide future dietary guidelines. “While meat is an important source of key nutrients including protein, iron and vitamin B12, excess meat consumption can harm our health and the planet. Aim to consume no more than 98 grams of red meat (pork, beef or lamb), 203 grams of poultry and 196 grams of fish per week,” their website states. A chicken breast contains about 24 grams of protein, for perspective.

“The EAT-Lancet Commission provide scientific targets that will allow us to feed up to 10 billion people by 2050 within planetary boundaries.” This is the precise target that the World Economic Forum has been targeting – 2050. The WEF has stated that since the world’s population will grow to 9.7 billion by 2050, we need to begin incorporating insects into our diets to feed the additional 2 billion mouths.

There is no statistically significant correlation between our current meat consumption and CO2 emissions or feeding the population in a few decades. We all saw the likes of Kamala Harris and other politicians using their gas stoves on Thanksgiving while they were telling the masses, the Great Unwashed, to remove them from their homes to save the planet. The climate change agenda is purely a control tactic. It gives the elite globalists control over our tax spending, energy and food consumption, and freedom of movement. The very people preaching that we must abandon our way of life to save the world KNOW that it is a scam.

Alex Jones and the Largest Defamation Case in US History


Posted originally on Nov 30, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Jones Alex

Alex Jones’ comments on Sandy Hook were merely the pathway for the government to target Jones after a career of questioning the establishment. Alex Jones found himself in the largest defamation case in American history for questioning the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut. The InfoWars host was coerced into paying the families $1.5 billion – an amount they knew he could not pay.

Jones did not commit the massacre, nor was he involved in any way. It was a passionately heated and tragic topic and the public court of opinion placed those feelings on Alex Jones, as the murderer, Adam Lanza, took his life after the killings. Now I do not agree with his statements regarding Sandy Hook, but it is of concern that the government can stifle free speech and put an arbitrary price tag on the damages. Jones was forced to file bankruptcy in December 2022, but the families are still seeking his money.

Now, seeing as they may not receive additional payments, the lawyers representing the families are asking Jones for only 6% of what he owes in addition to dropping the claims against him. “Jones may elect to receive a complete discharge for himself and (his parent company also in bankruptcy) if he agrees to pay, from any source, at least $8.5 million per year, plus 50 percent of any income over $9 million per year, for 10 years,” the settlement states. How are the courts arriving at these arbitrary numbers?

Where is the rage for the countless deaths by Big Pharma? What about Perdue who created the opiate crisis that killed thousands of kids? People are marching in the streets as we speak and denying the Hamas attack. People can currently question the 9/11 attacks, the JFK assassination, and other shunned topics thought to be conspiracy theories. If the powers that be had their way, conspiracy theories would be banned. Any theory that goes against the status quo must be demonized before others also begin to question current narratives.

I have appeared on InfoWars numerous times and appreciate that Jones is willing to question everything and anything. His delivery scares those who do not want to question the system, but he is not some crazed or evil man. He sparks a dialogue on topics that are typically not discussed. Hyperbole and seemingly over-the-top statements are part of his brand.

To put this into perspective, a wrongful death payout is around $1.5 million. Again, I am not in favor of the statement Jones made but he expressed a viewpoint and that should be protected under 1A. Plus, everyone knows Alex Jones is outspoken and questions everything. He just created a parody video game called “New World Order Wars,” where players can enter Epstein Island and hunt down Bill Clinton. His statements are dismissed due to his hyperbolic delivery but there is truth in much of what he says. In the case of Sandy Hook, Jones apologized to the families and retracted his statements. This situation shows that free speech is extremely limited and the consequences could result in financial ruin.

Elon Musk Tells Boycott Advertisers to “Go F**K Themselves”

Twitter owner Elon Musk went full wolverine earlier today during remarks at the ‘New York TImes’ DealBook Summit’ on a wide-ranging interview including anti-semitism, an advertiser boycott, Tesla, AI and more.

I have been skeptical of Mr. Musk, particularly over the mechanics of his purchase against the backdrop of DHS/FBI control elements; his remarks today are going viral. WATCH:

Despite continued reservations about Mr. Musk, I appreciate and respect his candor.

Iran Attacks Pennsylvania

Hacker 1

An Iranian hacker group, Cyber AV3ngers, had the ability to break into a water municipality station in Pennsylvania. The system operated on Unitronics, owned by Israeli entities. The alarms immediately sounded, but the authorities are claiming the water is still safe to drink. Iran and the US have secretly been at war since this Israel-Palestine situation began, and now, Iran is targeting US infrastructure.

“I am closely monitoring this cyberattack on the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa. My office is in touch with leadership, which reports that there has been no loss of water service for folks. Federal officials are assisting the investigation, and I remain ready to help with federal agencies,” Congressman Chris Deluzio announced in a statement. This is expanding far beyond Pennsylvania as numerous municipalities along the East Coast of America also use Unitronics. “Every equipment made in Israel is Cyb3rAvengers legal target!” the group posted on X, where it has a social media profile. “The CyberAv3ngers will continue their activities, and the worst is coming.”

“Attacks on our critical infrastructure like water are unacceptable,” said Deluzio. “I intend to push for a full investigation here and accountability for the attackers, and I will continue the important bipartisan work on the House Armed Services Cyber, Information Technologies, and Innovation Subcommittee to shore up America’s defenses,” Deluzio declared.

We hear reports of Iranian groups attacking US bases constantly. However, targeting America from within is a new war strategy that our country may be unprepared to handle. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s 2023 Annual Threat Assessment acknowledges the growing threat of cyber attacks from Iran. “Iran’s growing expertise and willingness to conduct aggressive cyber operations make it a major threat to the security of U.S. and allied networks and data. Iran’s opportunistic approach to cyber attacks makes critical infrastructure owners in the United States susceptible to being targeted,” the report noted.

It is laughable to think that 0% of the migrants released into the country have ties to terrorism. New wars need not be fought with bombs and bullets. The war has arrived at our doorstep, and the enemy can attack us without stepping foot on our soil.

New York Loses $12 Million Per Day Due to Shoplifting


Posted originally on Nov 28, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

NYC Christmas

Gov. Kathy Hochul is a menace who is setting fire to what remains of the once beloved state of New York. Hochul is responsible for rule 2.13 and is one of the most obnoxious vaccine supporters on the world stage. Hochul is supported by the same people who donated to Andrew Cuomo, and she is full support of the Build Back Better agenda.

That is why she is passively allowing the state to burn. The light on crime policies has led to a drastic uptick in crime across the state. Both Republicans and Democrats attempted to pass a bill to curb theft but Hochul shot it down, stating the requested $35 million was not in the budget. Theft in NY has increased by 64% over the past four years.

In the city, Eric Adams recently declared that funding to the police department would diminish due to recent budget cuts. It is fair to say that they deliberately want to make the state a hostile environment as they are effectively warding off tourism and business development.

NYC HELP

Recent data suggests that New York as a whole lost $4.4 billion in 2022 due to organized retail theft. This is not limited to NYC. Places like Syracuse reported a 55% rise in shoplifting over the past two years. “That number is likely higher because businesses often don’t report it — but they do continue to express concerns,” Syracuse Police Chief Joe Cecile said. One pharmacy in Syracuse lost a quarter-million alone due to theft. Store owners have been seriously assaulted or killed. Yet, Hochul believes there should be harsher penalties for the unvaccinated than for criminals.

So thieves are stealing over $12 million daily from New York retailers. The budget for a preventative organization (not that it is the solution) would be equivalent to a mere three days of theft. Thousands of people and their tax dollars have already fled the state due to their poor policies. The businesses are following, and what will be left? Government-run grocers and 15-minute cities? That is the ultimate goal behind allowing this type of crime to occur without punishment.

Finland Closes Border With Russia to Stop Putin’s Brown People


Posted originally on the CTH on November 28, 2023 | Sundance 

Western media will never say it, but what exactly do you think Russia is doing in Africa?  Think strategically.

The headline simply says Finland will close Russian border to stop asylum seekers. Most readers stop there, thinking Russians are trying to escape the horrible Putin.  However, the reality is something entirely different.

…”Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.”…

Finland joined NATO and suddenly Finland doesn’t want brown people.  Apparently, diversity is no longer a strength.

HELSINKI, Nov 28 (Reuters) – Finland will close its entire border with Russia to travellers for the next two weeks in a bid to halt the unusually large flow of asylum seekers to the Nordic nation, which the government and its allies say is an orchestrated move by Moscow.

Finland last week shut all but one of its border posts to travellers from Russia, keeping open only the northernmost crossing located in the Arctic. But this too would now close, the government said on Tuesday.

Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.

The decision to shut all eight border crossings means only cargo trains can pass between the two countries, Finland’s Border Guard said.

Helsinki says Moscow is funnelling people to the border in retaliation for its decision to increase defence cooperation with the United States, a charge the Kremlin denies. Finland infuriated Russia earlier this year when it joined NATO, ending decades of military non-alignment, due to the war in Ukraine. (read more)

In semi related news #1…. Another 1,000 illegal Muslim immigrants have just invaded Lampedusa [Italy] aboard two huge boats.  This follows thousands of earlier arrivals that have created a significant problem.

…. So where do you think President of the Italian Republic Giorgia Meloni is?

Today, the President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, and the President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, Giorgia Meloni, met at the White House.  They reaffirmed the unshakable alliance, strategic partnership, and deep friendship between the United States and Italy.  The ties between Italy and the United States are rooted in history, cultural affinity, and economic cooperation.  They are founded on our shared values and principles – democracy, freedom, respect for human rights – reinforced by the shared objective to promote peace and security, enhance prosperity, and advance sustainability all around the globe.

[…] The leaders also discussed ways to explore mobilizing more headroom and concessional finance to boost the World Bank’s capacity to support countries addressing global challenges and provide strong support for the poorest countries. (read more)

If you get beyond the ridiculous leftist language, likely borne from an intern of Samantha Power, you realize President Meloni is desperate for something, anything, that will keep the African migrants from arriving en masse.  However, as a weak-minded right-winger, she has been brought to heel and is now culturally aligned with the progressives in Davos.

I ask again, what do you think Russia (and China) are doing in Africa?

Vladimir Putin and Chairman Xi know exactly how to play the long game with the west.

[Fox News] – […] China imports cheap oil from countries facing U.S. sanctions, like Russia and Iran. Imports from Russia increased by nearly 23% in the first half of 2023 to more than 2 million barrels per day. China is Iran’s top customer, buying an estimated 1 million barrels per day in 2023.

Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon Discuss What Happens Within a Democracy When Voting No Longer Works


Posted originally on the CTH on November 27, 2023 | Sundance

Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon have an interesting conversation about what happens within “Democratic” nations when the process of voting no longer generates the changes that are demanded by the citizens.

When elected officials put themselves in a position to stand above the citizens of the country, things start to get very unsustainable.  The recent events in Ireland show what happens when the citizens finally say enough is enough.  Direct Rumble Link – WATCH:
