The "Great Unraveling" continues.

Interesting how USA got to this point.

Trump v Biden.

 

But I honestly believe that the years 2024 to 2034 will see progress in so many ways that we will all be in AWE!!!!!

 

Are you Kidding the soviet Union Had been bank rolling every country in the Middle East except Iran, Saudi Arabia and Jordan Prior to the Assassination of Anwar Sadat. After that we lost Iran almost entirely because of Cater's idiocy but gained Egypt because of RWR. Finding large cashes of Soviet weapons in the Middle East since the early 50s is as unexpected as finding cotton in a textile mill. Almost all the conventional weapons in Saddams arsenal save for a couple of batteries of Hawk AA missiles was soviet made. Same is true of Syria and now Iran. AK-47 s and RPG's are so common in the third world that they are dirt cheap.

 

But.... although you have a good point....

younger people tend to almost completely unaware of what President Yury Andropov began in 1972!

American and Canadian university kids might behave a bit better on campus if they were more aware of our recent history.

Did President Yury Andropov attempt to turn the majority of Muslims....

against Israel and against the United States........
because the USA tended to support Israel?


To my thinking.....
this is not exactly rocket science......

It is interesting that there is an ancient ISLAMIC prediction that would be the perfect response to climate change... .and to what sure looks like a possible Bear market.... designed to get Americans ready to accept the Biden Digital Currency.....and make Canadians willing to accept the Trudeau version of the same thing!

I've been advocating both making MONEY abundant... and turning deserts green since 2004!

The Sahara Desert is Shrinking for the 1st time in 8000 years. The only thing making money abundant does is raise prices. You need to make goods and services abundant for prices to come down. The idiots currently in charge Are doing everything in their power to reduce goods and services available while simultaneously scattering money to the four winds and people wonder why there is inflation.

 

Cohen Describes ‘Catastrophic’ Impact Daniels Could Have Had on Trump Campaign

Michael D. Cohen, the one-time fixer for Donald J. Trump who is now the star witness at his criminal trial, described for jurors the “catastrophic” threat Stormy Daniels’s account of a sexual liaison with Mr. Trump posed to his campaign, and his boss’s instruction: “Just take care of it.”

The $130,000 hush-money payment Mr. Cohen made to Ms. Daniels in the waning days of the 2016 presidential race is at the heart of the case against the former president. Mr. Cohen testified before the lunch break that Mr. Trump wanted him to bury Ms. Daniels’s story, which emerged amid the uproar set off by the “Access Hollywood” tape, because it could tank his chances to capture the White House.

Yes... the increased levels of atmospheric CO2 is causing vegetation to surge all over the planet..... even on the Sahara Desert but........
......
an Unconditional but Taxable Basic Minimum Income to all Americans.... of a paltry five hundred dollars per month..... could pay down the national debt of the USA at the rate of five hundred dollars X three hundred and thirty million Americans.... per month........ which would be better than having Biden give it all away to the people who do stuff for him!!!!?????

 

Except of course you have to borrow the money from somewhere else in order to hand it out. And the additional buying power without additional production just creates more inflation.

 

Actually... President Abraham Lincoln confronted essentially this exact question and was given a brilliant option by one of his advisors.

http://www.cidpusa.org/lincoln_JFK.htm

 

Been doing that for a hundreds of years now ever hear of the phrase "Not worth a Continental"? Countries have been printing their own currency for centuries but that isn't a BLS. It is basically the same as fiat currency it is workable but only if you limit your money increase to the increase in production of goods and services. Other wise you will gain inflation.

 

Giuliani bankruptcy judge rebuffs attempt to challenge $148 million judgment

The judge overseeing Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case said he was “disturbed” so little progress has been made in sorting out his finances, and refused Tuesday to lift a legal barrier that has kept the former New York City mayor from appealing a $148 million defamation judgment.

Giuliani declared bankruptcy in December after he was ordered to pay the staggering sum to two former election workers for spreading a false conspiracy theory about their role in the 2020 election.

Another life ruined by fealty to big, fat Don.

 

Yes..... during the years of the President Abraham Lincoln Greenback Monetary Policy EXPERIMENT......

there was a HIGH LEVEL OF INFLATION.... but what else could possibly happen when you take your most experienced workers OUT OF THE ECONOMY........

AND PAY THEM QUITE WELL TO SHOOT MUZZLE LOADERS..... CANNONS AT ONE ANOTHER...... and of course to stab one another with bayonets????????


So.... you just decreased the economic output of America by the combined total of the productive capability of all soldiers from the north......

and all soldiers from the South...... and those not in the military have gone over to the type of economy that backs up the war effort.......

so of course... . hyper inflation is the obvious result.

But now.... let's take a little look at what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden have been doing..........

in my opinion Biden and Trudeau are doing exactly what the doctor ordered.... if the doctor in question wanted to reduce the world's population of 2010 of six point eight billion people.... down to two or three billion?????!!!!!

Do Biden's advisors and Trudeau's advisors seem to want to crash the markets?

?
Do Biden's advisors want to create an economic crisis?

DID YOU KNOW THAT FIGHTING INFLATION.....
is arguably one of the most effective possible ways to drive the world economy into a Bear Market...... [another 1929...... or should we say another 1865 to 1887]?!

 

A super regulatory state and printing money will always get you hyper inflation a shrinking production base. Democrats have blamed businesses for fleeing to China but the question really is who is more at fault the person chasing or there person fleeing attack?

 

Those are good points.....

those are all parts of the big picture but a poster on this forum gave the most insightful explanation for the Weimar Republic of Germany inflation that I have ever read:

Best explanation for Weimar Republic Inflation I ever read....




http://www.politicalforum.com/index...weimar-republic-inflation-i-ever-read.502018/

 

Yet Zimbabwe had hyper inflation without any actual noticeable change in production. Meanwhile the guy currently in charge in Argentina has dropped inflation drastically by the simple expedient of reducing government.

 

Comprehensive Timeline on False Electors Scheme in 2020 Presidential Election

A part of former President Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election involved an effort to misuse the Electoral College in seven battleground states. On Dec. 14, 2020, legitimate members of the Electoral College met across the country to sign certificates declaring which presidential candidate won their state. That day, in several states that Biden had won, Republicans met to sign certificates declaring that they were the “duly elected and qualified” members of the Electoral College and falsely declaring Trump the winner of their state. They sent their documents to the National Archives.

In the runup to Jan. 6, 2021, these false certificates were used in an effort to claim that Vice President Mike Pence could decide either not to recognize any electors from these “disputed states” (meaning an outright Trump win) or else delay the certification of the election.

These actions, and the conspiracy that gave rise to them, have been the subject of multiple criminal indictments. The scheme is included among the conduct charged in the federal indictment against former President Donald Trump by the Department of Justice’s Office of Special Counsel. False electors in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada also face criminal charges. In Wisconsin, the false electors and two attorneys who aided and abetted them settled civil litigation arising from their actions, and a criminal investigation in Wisconsin is reportedly ongoing.

The fake electors were an essential part of the coup plot.

But didn't Zimbabwe go Communist.......????

And don't Communist or Socialist Revolutions involve a massive distribution of wealth?

Yes... I have heard of the drastic improvements in Argentina.......

reducing government.... means reducing BUREAUCRACY........

AND BUREAUCRATS increase their levels of power and control by straining out gnats while they swallow camels... [metaphorically speaking]!

That is a major part of the reason as to why Economist Milton Friedman advocated an Unconditional but Taxable Basic Minimum Income to boost the economy.....

by giving this to all citizens and legal residents in a nation... the economy could be given the metaphorical blood that money is to the healthy BUT....

by MAKING that Basic Minimum Income UNCONDITIONAL TO RICH AND POOR ALIKE......

there is no need for much of a bureaucracy to administer it. Milton Friedman felt that this was the way to defeat The Welfare State.....

that is a lot like Creeping Communism, or Socialism in so many ways!



I plead guilty.....
I have basically stolen Economist Milton Friedman's basic idea and simply reworded it for the modern economy as best as I can......

My plan to pay off the deficit at the rate of twenty billion dollars per month?

Here is one prediction from 1973 that would certainly fit with the implementing of an Unconditional but Taxable Basic Minimum Income in Canada and the USA.

Over these past ten years.... just about the only type of person capable of buying up land in rural America... IS BILL GATES!!!!!!!!!!!!?????

Could a real estate boom plus better Fed policy pay off USA national debt?

The book "The Vision" by David Wilkerson......
can be listened to in the form of a sermon that he also did back at that time.

 

Hate To See Rudy Roasted

Under indictment in Arizona for his alleged role in the 2020 fake electors scheme there, Rudy Giuliani had managed for the past few days to avoid being served in that new criminal case.

Feeling cocky, Rudy went on X/Twitter Friday night and began taunting Arizona prosecutors. His gloating didn’t last long. Shortly thereafter, Rudy was served in Palm Beach at his 80th birthday bash, hosted by Trumper Caroline Wren.

The fake elector scheme being one of the pillars of the plot to steal the election.

 

DJT: Trump Media reports $770,500 revenue for first quarter, net loss of $327.6 million

Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, disclosed a net loss of $327.6 million in the first quarter of the year, with total revenue at $770,500, according to its earnings report, filed Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The report is one of the first measures of the company’s true financial health since it debuted as a public company on the Nasdaq Stock Market in March after completing a merger with a shell company, Digital World Acquisition Corp.

DJT shares were relatively flat in post-market trading following the release of the earnings report, which had not been highly publicized prior. The stock was down 5% at market close, with a share price of $48.
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/20/trump-media-djt-q1-2024-earnings.html

The thing about having a publicly listed company is Don can't withhold financial information without running afoul of the authorities. Otherwise, you don't really think he'd reveal how colossally big a loser his media company is do you?

 

It's a foreign money funneling/laundering op. Not a viable business model under him for what they do or not do.

 

E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer responds to Trump Memorial Day post: ‘All options are on the table’

Donald Trump on Monday again denied rape and defamation claims against him by writer E. Jean Carroll, getting the attention of her lawyer.

In a post on Truth Social, the former president began with “Happy Memorial Day to All” and quickly derailed into a tirade against Manhattan federal court Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s claims: “TWO separate trials that awarded a woman, who I never met before (a quick handshake at a celebrity event, 25 years ago, doesn’t count!), 91 MILLION DOLLARS for ‘DEFAMATION.’”

Kaplan presided over the case in which a jury in May 2023 found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s. Kaplan later ruled in the civil defamation case in January that as president Trump defamed Carroll after she accused him in 2019 of rape. Carroll was awarded $83.3 million in damages, which Trump is appealing.

Closing Arguments to Begin in Trump Criminal Trial

Former President Donald J. Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial will enter its final stage Tuesday as defense lawyers and prosecutors deliver their closing arguments in a last attempt to sway the 12 New Yorkers who will decide his fate.

First the defense and then the prosecution will spend hours weaving disparate strands of evidence into a cohesive story that they hope will resonate with the jurors. To mold their dueling accounts, each side can draw from a deep well of evidence: testimony from 22 witnesses, reams of emails and a surreptitious recording of Mr. Trump coordinating a secret payoff.
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/28/nyregion/trump-trial-closing-arguments

If Trump loses the case he will rail against how unjustly he has been treated. If Trump wins the case he will rail against how unjustly he has been treated. The verdict being less important that the mantra of victimhood.

 

Evidence against Trump in hush money case is ‘overwhelming,’ prosecutor tells jury in closing argument

The evidence in the criminal hush money case against former president Donald Trump is “literally overwhelming,” a prosecutor told jurors Tuesday.

“Focus on the evidence and the logical inferences that can be drawn from that evidence,” Assistant Manhattan District Attorney Joshua Steinglass said at the end of his closing argument for the trial.

“In the interest of justice, and in the name of the people of the state of New York, I ask you to find the defendant guilty,” Steinglass said. “Thank you.”

Steinglass spent nearly five hours methodically reminding jurors of the testimony they had heard and evidence they had been shown.

All of it, the prosecutor argued, painted a picture of Trump directing and benefiting from a scheme to protect his presidential campaign from negative information about him becoming public during the 2016 election.

“Everything Mr. Trump and his cohorts did in this case was cloaked in lies,” Steinglass said.
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/28/trump-trial-closing-arguments-begin-in-new-york-hush-money-case.html

Throughout the trial the defense hung its hat on a single strategy, trying to convince the jury Cohen can't be trusted. Blanche and Co seem to have forgotten about the mountain of hard evidence backing up Cohen's testimony. We shouldn't be too harsh on the defense team however. Defending a guilty client is never easy.

 

They are playing for one or two jurors to hang given they are still denying the rendezvous even happened (shakes head). We will likely find out this week.
