Bitcoin looks like it could regain the $100,000 support. It was really looking like that was not going to happen, which would have meant it could fall to $80,000. Even if it falls to $80,000, it’s still bulling it, but no one wanted to see it fall to $80,000. By the way, Zendaya is fine....

source: @Scott_Wiener on X San Francisco State Senator, Scott Weiner, probably gets the most hate from the Right of any California politician besides Gavin Newsom, and perhaps Nancy Pelosi. To conservatives, Scott Weiner epitomizes everything wrong with California liberalism. Some of the online hate targeted at him from the Right has anti-Semitic and homophobic undertones,...
Read MorePreviously: Russia and Iran Officially Link Their National Banking Systems Here’s the thing about America’s status as a superpower: it’s not because it has the best people. Americans are fat and retarded slobs; most of them are poor and on drugs. They are chronic masturbators. And some, I assume, are good people. America is controlled...
Read MoreAmericans keep asking why the US is fighting this proxy war in the Ukraine, and the answer is usually “because we are so moral, we need to force Russians to become gay.” But Lindsey Graham will claim that he is actually looting the country on behalf of the American people. That might sound bad, but...

Read MoreThe G20 summit in Rio earlier this week offered the quite intriguing spectacle of a deeply divided world, geopolitically and geoeconomically, trying to put on a brave ‘holiday in the sun’ face. There was plenty of fluff to amuse attentive audiences. French President Emmanuel Macron surrounded by a beefy security detail strolling on Copacabana beach...

As we have seen previously when a Republican has won a presidential election, the progressive individual income tax — in which the more you earn, the higher of a percentage of your earnings are subject to taxation — has once again become a target for dilution or elimination. We have long heard about schemes like...
Read MoreAll of these small moves by the non-Western countries are starting to stack up. You can easily see the dollar falling as the world currency over a period of decades, just on this current trajectory. Unfortunately for homosexuals and Jews, that trajectory is likely to get a lot steeper if and when the US empire...

Two days after Donald Trump became the first American since Grover Cleveland to win nonconsecutive presidential elections, the Federal Reserve announced a quarter percent cut in interest rates. Following this announcement, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell held a press conference where he said that he would not comply with any presidential request that he step down...
Read MoreReporting on the election often involves being glued to computer screens dictating the polling numbers around the country and using statistics revolving around race and gender to make assumptions about how the country is politically swaying. Journalist and online host Michael Tracey actually went out to many prominent swing states throughout the election and spoke...
Read MoreBetting on Trump on Polymarket was a good idea and so was buying Bitcoin. It’s cooled off slightly now at time of writing, but during the period where it first became obvious Trump was going to win, the biggest cryptocurrency hit $75,000, a new all-time high. I don’t give financial advice. I did suggest people...

Although the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was not one of the awards originally established by Alfred Nobel, most of the world's population and media treat it as such, with that impression strengthened because it is announced around the same time. Just as with the Nobel Prizes in Physics or Medicine, the award in...
Read MoreThe recent BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia should mark the end of the Neocon delusions encapsulated in the subtitle of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1997 book, The Global Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives. Since the 1990s, the goal of American foreign policy has been “primacy,” aka global hegemony. The U.S. methods of choice have been...
Read MoreThe Kazan lab has laid out several geoeconomic road maps, and is seriously taking the inevitable roadblocks into account. We will need weeks, months, years to fully grasp the enormity of what took place in Kazan during the annual BRICS summit under the Russian presidency. For the moment let’s cherish arguably the most appropriate definition...
Read MoreThe Russian presidency of BRICS 2024 could not have chosen a more multicultural and multi-nodal site to host a summit laden with enormous expectations by the Global Majority. The southwestern Russian city of Kazan, on the banks of the Volga and Kazanka rivers, is the capital of the semi-autonomous Republic of Tatarstan, renowned for its...

Read MorePublic opinion polls consistently show the economy is one of the top issues, if not the top issue, for American voters. This may strike some as odd, since official government statistics show low unemployment and declining price inflation, suggesting the Federal Reserve has engineered a “soft landing” bringing down inflation without causing a recession. So...
Read MoreHans Vogel outlines the historical rise of robber barons and their legacy of influence through modern-day globalist philanthropy, showing how charitable foundations and NGOs, guided by the money-driven mindset of their predecessors, now shape international agendas on issues from climate policy to public health.

Read MoreIt’s been obvious from the beginning of Boeing’s troubles: they simply have not done enough DEI (which is the new term for Affirmative Action). They need more blacks and women. They need to run out the remaining white men, and then they’ll be on a path to glory. As is testified to in every movie,...
Read MoreThe BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia, aimed to be a turning point towards a truly multipolar or multi-nodal world that has been in transition for a few years now. The changes announced in Kazan regarding the payment system and the reserves of nations are concrete steps towards independence from the U.S. imperialistic system. This system...

Xinhua: It’s very easy for Germany to whine, because it doesn’t mean anything, because they apparently have no control of EU law.

Elon needs an ally in the government to prevent him from being prosecuted for all of these various murderous schemes. If some retard wants to die in a Tesla...
Read MoreThe choice in the elections is between corporate and oligarchic power. Corporate power needs stability and a technocratic government. Oligarchic power thrives on chaos and, as Steve Bannon says, the “deconstruction of the administrative state.” Neither are democratic. They have each bought up the political class, the academy and the press. Both are forms of...

Corporations enjoy many of the same rights and protections as individual citizens, the Supreme Court ruled in 2010. Not only may a corporation claim the right of freedom of religion to, for example, refuse to cover birth control under employee insurance, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission found that the First Amendment grants it the...
