The bottom 80% of Americans own <5% of stock market wealth.
The bottom half own statistically zero.
"THE TOP 10% OWN 93% OF ALL THE STOCK MARKET WEALTH". - Federal Reserve Bank in Fortune Magazine. MARCH 2024
REMINDER: the last time the FED raised rates to fight inflation was in July or 2023, NINE MONTHS AGO. They have given up and are taking orders from the wealthiest elite.
Anyone who pays attention to stock prices as a barometer of how normal everyday Americans are doing is completely missing how most people live.

James Lindsay - "By keeping your life tiny and local (degrowth), you can have enough money to live in the WEF economy. You'll own nothing and do nothing, and the carbon you're not producing will be treated like an asset rich people can buy like carbon indulgences to get out of ESG requirements."

A back door to banning guns. The DOJ just created a program to red flag Trump supporters at the same time they are allowing for illegals to have guns…
We all know this will only be used against Trump supporters, so let’s just call it what it is. A red flag database to disarm MAGA.

China has been building roads in Latin America to facilitate the invsion of the Unidos Estacia Americana aka the United States of America, which is rapidly adopting the lingua Franca of our southern neighbors as well as most of their population.
Many of the "refugees" coming here are Chinese men of military age.
The U.S. abandoned the Trans-America highway in no small part out of concern for massive immigration. China is now building it in no small part to facilitate the invasion of the U.S.
China already controls the Panama Canal, having taken over the management of it from Panama some years back. Now they will have a major highway to move people (and weapons) to the U.S.
The Chinese are doing what the Soviets had hoped to do; encircle the U.S. And we are letting them do it.

Maine goes mad.
They Want to Trans Kids so Badly
This is nothing short of the desire to usurp the godhead. I wrote years ago about how abortion and euthanasia are the Left's way of giving themselves parity with God. This merely doubles down on that same evil.
The Bible says "male and female He created them" (Genesis 5:2) and these folks want to recreate them in a way never intended by God. This is a violation of the First Commandment.
The Left wants to be gods.This is the very same thing that led Lucifer to rebel
While we are on the subject, I would point to another Biblical passage 2Thessalonians 2:7 "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way."
What does that mean? I would say the world situation is obviously circling the drain now and that because of one and only one reason; the United States has taken itself out of a position of strong, competent leadership. And why? Because we have rejected God in America. Oh, not in the heated way of radical atheists so much as in the cold and uncaring way mentioned in the Book of Revelation "To the Church of Laodecia you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were hot or cold but since you are neither I will spew you out of my mouth". Jesus is right now spewing America and the Western World from His mouth and the end result is chaos across the globe and chaos in America.
The opposite of love is not hate but indifference, the old saying goes.Those not actively opposing God pay Him no mind.And that is why the spirit of antichrist is walking the land now.
Certainly transgenderism is a direct repudiation of God. It is witchcraft, an attempt to alter reality by a human act of will.
That energizes the enemies of God, who are empowered by the evil one himself as they see victory almost in their grasp. And as they mutilate and destroy children they do it not tentatively, or even clinically, but eagerly, desperate to impose their will because "my will be done!" and God can take a flying leap in their twisted minds. It's an act of violence against both the children and the Most High.
The Most High will win this contest of wills. But He will punish us all for letting this happen.
I am mindful of one final thing this Palm Sunday morning.In Revelation 8:1 John tells us "And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,"
I fear we are in that horrible silence of half an hour. All hell is about to break loose. We brought it on ourselves too.

Behold the REAL rulers of America:
CIA blocked Hunter Biden's 'sugar brother' Kevin Morris from being interviewed by federal investigators during first son's five-year tax probe, whistleblower claims
FTA:
* Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris paid the President's son and his family more than $5 million after meeting him in 2019
* But two years later the CIA told investigators probing Hunter's tax affairs that Morris was off-limits to them, a whistleblower has claimed
* Now House leaders pursuing the president's impeachment have written to CIA director William Burns demanding to know why
End excerpt.
The CIA is also promoting the glories of transsexualism to it's employees. I guess they didn't like being left out from their FBI bretheren, whose father -J. Edgar Hoover - was known to prance about in women's clothes when not blackmailing lawmakers and Presidents.

Leprosy is on the rise in the United States.
Joe Biden and the Left have turned America into a Third World hellhole.
Many of the new cases are in Florida, a swampy and subtropical state that is ideal for the spread of the disease. But why?
Could it be that 21% of Florida's population are immigrants as of 2018,and that number has probably greatly increased since?
If you bring in Third World peoples you will have Third World problems.

It's up over 150 now.
Reports: Ongoing Terrorist Shootout at Moscow Concert Hall Leaves at Least 100 Casualties
ISIS allegedly claimed responsibility, though thatis rather dubious.
In fact there is ample reason to think the Ukrainians were behind it. FTA:
Crocus City was hosting a concert by the progressive rock band Piknik on Friday. Piknik was banned from Ukraine after performing a concert in occupied Crimea, Ukraine, prompting Ukraine to ban them from the country. The band declared they "do not give a damn” about sanctions or politics in response to Ukraine’s condemnation, recalling that the Soviet Union had also blacklisted them.
The band had not started playing when the terrorists struck and are all safe, multiple outlets reported.
Russian authorities have not given any public statements blaming any individuals or groups for the incident. Some reports indicated that, less than a week ago, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow warned that it had information suggesting terrorists would target concert venues in the near future. It is not clear at press time whether that warning was prompted by threats to Crocus City or similar venues.
End
I wonder if the U.S. didn't have a hand in this too, frankly. At this point I wouldn't put anything past the American govenrment.
The news media has largely yawned over this.

In testimony before the House Committee, Trump's former acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller said that after testifying that Trump wanted to call out the National Guard on J6 the J6 Committee threatened him.
The Committee told him they would "make his life Hell" if he kept talking about it on television and they would drag him before them for hours at a time.
The J6 episode increasingly appears to have been a coup against Mr. Trump, not against Biden or the peaceful transfer of power.
Sadly the media still refuses to admit this.

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisconsin) is retiring, further eroding the Republican majority in the House.
He is joining Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) who has also announced he's out.
Gallagher cited no reasonand did not take phone calls from journalists. As he was investigating China I suspect he is being blackmailed.
How's that push to remove Santos working out for you guys?
I would add that Speaker Mike Johnson just pushed through a $1.2 TRILLION dollar spending spree to avoid a government shutdown, prompting Marjorie Taylor Green to take steps to remove the dope.
If you are going to have a government shutdown now is the time to do it before the election season really heats up. But the GOP believes they will be blamed, failing to grasp the American People are horribly disenchanted with what is happening and EXPECT the House to use the power of the purse to put a brake on Bidenomics.
Democrats are vowing to save Johnson.
The true problem in America is not the Democrats; they are destroyers and it is their nature. The real problem is the RINO Republicans and their unwillingness to stop the tailspin.
We should have split from the GOP twenty five years ago and started a new party.

A strong X-class solar flare lasting 5 hours has erupted on the sun, lifting a coronal mass ejection (CME) with an Earth-directed component (play the right-hand video in the link, 1st comment, to see the CME near the end of the clip). March is a peak month for auroras, and this should be a good one in the coming days.

... the flare was unusual in that it involved two widely-separated sunspots than became magnetically connected during the flare.

Tragically, Princess Cate has cancer and is undergoing chemo. King Charles has pancreatic cancer and is also undergoing treatment. They were among the first apparently to be vaccinated. Cancers among vaccinated people is spiking rapidly (especially for young people), and the aggressive nature of the cancers is said to be unprecedented.

Meet the AI-Censored? Naked Capitalism
Google provides an early, scary test case for mechanized suppression by threatening a popular economics site with demonetization
Matt Taibbi
The future of AI-powered censorship is here, and the early returns are as error-filled and clumsily destructive as Google’s infamous Gemini rollout.
On March 4th, Yves Smith — nom de plume for the editor of Naked Capitalism, a popular site containing economics commentary and journalism — received an ominous letter from its ad service company:
Hope you are doing well!
We noticed that Google has flagged your site for Policy violation and
ad serving is restricted on most of the pages with the below strikes…
The letter went on to list four data fields: VIOLENT_EXTREMI

A Greg Delany
Has anyone been watching the bizarro world Stock Market lately?
The companies are all suffering from a lack of profits.
Same store sales are down since 2020, yet the stocks are climbing higher than ever?
Dividends are much lower. The high dividend yielding areas such as real
estate investment trusts, financials, energy, utilities, and some
consumer staples generally underperformed in 2022 because investors
were bracing for a massive credit crisis in a recession. Yet Stocks are
higher?
If you can not read the signs. You will crash! The 100 year anniversary is approaching to the Stock Market Crash in 1929. Then the Great Depression.
If you look with understanding. You will
see the Global Cabal and WEF are setting up the world economies for
another Great Reset Depression!
They will crash the stock markets
and devalue money around the world. Then they will invent a new form of
Currency. A digital currency, that they alone will have total control
of.
Government will create the crisis. Then offer you a
helping hand down into the pit and strap a yoke around your neck to
enslave you.
You will be obedient or you won't eat!
Once there is no currency, no pension, no 401K or IRA to save you. You will willingly surrender you liberty for bread!
FDR playbook relived. Who said we learn for our History? I say we just
keep repeating it and convince ourselves we would never be dumb enough
to fall for this.
Check your stocks this week!

The so-called "Seuss Effect” was the dubious ratio of Carbon 12 to Carbon 13 as indicative of human activity changing the mix of Carbon isotopes in our atmosphere. The central premise is that Carbon 14 should be constant or declining because man’s combustion of coal has been diluting the amount of atmospheric Carbon 14 naturally produced by cosmic ray bombardment. Carbon 14 decays to non-detectable (de minimus) quantities in 50,000 to 60,000 years. Ergo, coal beds were laid down millions of years ago and they should have no Carbon 14.
At least two items are wrong with these assumptions:
1) Carbon 14 produced by cosmic ray bombardment of Nitrogen 14 is not constant. Look up Miyake Events.
2) With analytic techniques not available to Charles Keeling, et al, Carbon 14 has been found in coal beds plus deep earth diamonds. These findings have been dismissed out of hand because they have been presented by those believing in the Biblical chronology of the Earth, which places Earth’s life in the thousands of years, not millions nor billions.
However, the presence of Carbon 14 in some of these deep Earth findings supports the concept of the GeoReactor put forward by Herndon, Tuttle, Ragavan, et al. A naturally-occurring Fast Neutron Breeder Reactor at the core of all major celestial bodies. Stars are ignited the same as a Hydrogen bomb. Fission igniting Fusion. K.P. Lin and colleagues have estimated the remaining life of the GeoReactor at approx. 2 billion years.
But don’t worry, as the Sun grows out into a Red Giant, in approx. 1 billion years our great, great, great, great grandchildren will all be crispy critters so the Warmists will finally get it correct.
Net Isotopic Signature of Atmospheric CO2 Sources and Sinks: No Change since the Little Ice Age
mdpi.com
Tim adds:
Funny; I've read that much of the decline of carbon 14 was due to atmospheric nuclear bomb testing in the fifties and early sixties. Then suddenly they pulled this crap out of their posteriors and blamedit on industrial emissions diluting the carbon 14. I would add that the Grand Solar Maximum of the late '90's saw a dearth of cosmic rays and thus less c14 would have been created - just as Henirick Svensmark predicted (and the lack of cosmic rays caused there to be less cloud formation to reflect solar energy).
Now, with a quiet sun, we are seeing more c14 in the atmosphere again.
We did not have a baseline for C14 in the atmosphere thanks to those nuclear tests, which caused a big spike in c14. Prior to that we didn't really have all that good data on it.
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore Labs have shown the production of C14 in the atmosphere is natural. https://
I wonder if these geniuses who are pushing climate change alarmism ever asked if the nuclear tests that created the c14 could be the cause of the small warming trend seen in the 20th and 21st centuries? Maybe it has nothing at all to do with industrial emissions? I suspect it was at the root of ozone decline in the latter 20th century (not CFC's which were blamed).
Certainly atmospheric testing creates nitrogen
oxides, known greenhouse gases. Certainly gamma rays - which are
emitted during an air-burst of a nuclear device - can damage the ozone.https://
At any rate, there are many factors involved here not considered or only mildly considered by the wizards of smart. They simply zeroed in on industrial emissions and that was that.

A Democrat Federal judge in Illinois FINALLY found the Second Amendment actually does give us the right to own and carry firearms. And that mainly means ILLEGAL ALIENS!
Judge Sharon K. Coleman has suddenly discovered the right to keep and bear arms - but apparently that applies to lawbreakers and alien invaders and not to the American People.
Coleman dismissed charges against Heriberto Carbajal-Flores , who was arrested in 2020 for violating a federal law that prohibits undocumented immigrants from possessing guns. This is a first; a Democrat who is concerned about Second Amendment rights.
So people who have no right to even be here can carry agun, but not law-abiding Americans.
We do not let criminals possess firearms; illegal aliens are definitionally criminals.
This is how the Left works. They apply the prnciples of Sun Tzu "seize that which the enemy holds dear". In this case we hold our right to keep and bear arms dear, so they have seized it and given it to illegal aliens even while Illinois has some of the strictest gun control laws in America and heavily restricts the rights of Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
This is just a way of rubbing Middle America's nose in their power.
Judge Coleman was appointed by Barack Hussein Obama.

Rome fell for reasons almost identical to conditions in the U.S. right now. They couldn't and wouldn't control their borders and were overrun by people who had no cultural ties to Rome nor allegiance to it.
When Odoacer took power the Eastern Emperor sent him the royal robe and other accutrements that would elevate him to emperor. He sent them back "no thanks" and that was the final end of the empire. Odoacer grew up in the Empire but was never Roman and didn't care about Roman things.
The Roman Empire had had no more Germanic barbarians invade than the current U.S.has aliens. We will meet the same fate.
This gives an estimate of the numbers of Germanic tribes that infiltrated the empire.
End quote.
We are facing far more in terms of sheer numbers, especially now,but it's been going on for a long time. Large parts of the Southwest no longer speak English. In fact, the U.S. is the second largest Spanish speaking country on Earth now.
No culture can survive this (which is why the Left pushes it so hard; they want to break America down and rebuild her from scratch.)
Tied Kennedy changed the immigration laws in 1965, favoring non-Europeans. And at this same time border security - a high priority for both the Truman and Eisenhower Administrations - was thrown out. We've had sixty years of unrelenting immigration - legal and illegal - to America and at a time where our educational system has stopped actively promoting American culture and values. The end result has been a slow erosion of our culture. We are reaching a tipping point and at the same time any attempt to control the flow of people here has ended. Now we are being overrun by peoples with no ties to this country, no knowledge of American culture, no allegiance to our system and beliefs. This is how nations die.
These are our last days I fear. We have more immigrants in the U.S.than the entire population of Canada, and double that of Australia. In the last three years alone we've taken in more aliens than the entire population of all but nine states. This is the end unless we manage somehow to kick almost all of them out. And that won't happen as the Democrats and half the Republicans like this and want this.
There is a very special place in Hell for these politicians. In Dante's Inferno they were consigned to the lowest circle of Hell - Cocytus - where they are frozen in a filthy lake in Antenora, too cold to even cry. That is the place for traitors to kin and country. That is where our political class belongs.
