The Economy, The Numbers, And The Stats

Posted on by Helena

The average tax refund for filers in 2025 per the IRS is $3275.  The average tax refund for filers in 2024 was $3138.  An increase of 4% but less than 2021 and 2022.  But averages are rather meaningless when incomes vary from $-0- to hundreds of millions.  The average refund for taxpayers making over $1 million jumps to $246,696. That category is lumped in with the low end of $898 in refund if you make less than $5000. 

Like most numbers coming out of the White House, ‘average refund’ is a ridiculous base line of economic success. He other one is the DOW. Worse:  Bezos effective tax rate is 1.1%. Trump has paid no taxes since 2020. The reason?  Massive business losses. Of the 700 billionaires in the US, their effective tax rate is just 8% – although there have been years where these elitists paid nothing. The reason Trump doesn’t take a salary is because it would raise his tax liability on all his income. Stealing allows for tax evasion.

People have been advocating for a flat tax since I was born.  It won’t happen.  The idea that Tariff Revenue would replace the income tax was a fantasy that never even came close and died from the media standpoint.

The Board of Peace funds originally deposited in the World Bank have been withdrawn and redeposited into an individual personal account at JP Morgan. No transparency requirements are required. 

The Trump Rx Fiasco:  Drug companies involved in the program drastically increased their spending through lobbying firms with ties to the administration. For instance, a firm associated with Donald Trump Jr. saw its federal lobbying revenue jump significantly after representing major manufacturers who secured pricing deals on TrumpRx.  While benefiting Big Pharma given Trump Rx does not list generic counterparts, the kickbacks to Trump et al, are likely in the range of ‘Angies List’.  Trump does NOTHING for free.

I decided to look at the terms:  1. To get the sale price it is a cash out of pocket price – insurance doesn’t apply.  2.  The price only applies if continuous monthly refills are ordered. 3. The amount may be changed by the manufacturer at will and without notice. 4. You give the manufacturer all your information which can be used for whatever purpose. 5. Zepbound is Lilly’s weight loss drug – it must be taken for life just like all weight loss drugs. 6.  On TrumpRx a discounted monthly cost was $299 for a 2.5 dose.  With insurance the price is $25 per month.  Other discounted Rx Companies offer pricing at $99 to $159.

TRUMP REVENUE:

Everything Trump touches turns to trash.  How much would his businesses have to lose every year that generated enough to wipe out all income?  In 2020 Trump claimed business losses on his personal tax return of $20.5 million. Donald Trump Holdings, LLC reported losses of $59.945 million. DJT Holdings Managing Member, LLC = losses of $3.65 million. DTTM Partnership losses $758,500.  All while his Net Worth ROSE.

Funny Numbers. 

The Funny Numbers only apply to The Club and are only outdone by the Funny Policies:

Trump has announced that he doesn’t care about the Midterms (likely already fixed) therefore he is going to do ‘nothing’ in regards to an Iran Deal.  Meaning hardship is about to get much harder.  Brent Crude stands at $95. But commodity markets in general remain very volatile as the shipping crunch ensures more shortages.  With China reaping the greatest supplies.

There are only five countries with budget surpluses; Norway, Singapore, Luxembourg, Qatar, and Switzerland. The global economy is just as much a farce as America’s.  Exasperated by Trump’s inability to do anything about the Strait of Hormuz but prick the bear, so to speak. The Bond market is reacting.  Not just because of the Strait but also because of the tariffs – a double whammy.

The end result of the two pronged whammy is inflation.  Funny numbers or not, inflation will spike as trade drops and shortages accrue putting a damper on growth. Mortgage rates have climbed to 6.65% and 6.9%.  The annual cost of debt has surpassed $1 Trillion – for context that is 20% of all federal tax revenue collected.   Matched closely by Defense Spending of just shy of $1 trillion …and Federal level fraud clocking in at $714 billion.  Together accounting for nearly 50% of tax revenue. This does not include the Bunker, the ballroom, the arche, the pool, the MMC, or the rest of Government Agency spending.

Capitalism as it stands is NOT working.  Capitalism as defined by America’s Government is a Mafia Government built on fraud, blackmail, graft, theft, and lies.  Climbing out of this is akin to holding onto a snake that is wrapped around a twig on a tree as we slowly sink in quicksand. 

We need to scrap the Federal Government & Capitalism.

The Data Center Boom Bust Combustion Has Begun

Posted on by Helena

AI will Liberate Humanity!  Every household will have their private robot for free!  Humans will never work again!  And the mass hypnosis droned on and on and on.  Except AI agrees that we were lied to.  AI: the reality reveals that computing power, energy consumption, and high token usage make AI an exceptionally expensive line item.  In fact, so expensive that businesses are shutting down use of AI as it is pricing them out of business.

Nvidia’s Vice President of Applied Deep Learning publicly stated that compute costs for their AI engineering teams far surpass the actual cost of the employees’ salaries.  An economic analysis by MIT found that AI is only cost-effective in about 23% of basic jobs; in the remaining 77%, keeping a human worker is the more economically viable option.

Making all those 5,000+ Data Centers ‘obsolete’ and the new ones being built a fictional storyline. It is called ‘token usage’ and small business owners are staring down bills as high as $113,000.  Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Microsoft is banning the use of AI by its engineers.  The Boom is going to Bust after global spending reaching over $6.7 Trillion. 

Across the board tech companies claim that human employees are much more cost effective.  But our scholarly education systems have failed to teach real world skills for engineers leaving 80% unemployable.  Exasperating a problem that will become exponential as businesses scramble for humans to replace AI.  Are we in the beginning stages of an AI bubble?

Many companies were deepening their debt as they bought into the data center hype.  Offloading AI means that debt remains with no value to offset it. When the value is gone, companies have to raise their pricing to mitigate the debt. And the inflation cycle ramps up rather quickly.  The debt attached via bank loans could see a chapter 11 fallout as companies can’t afford the data costs much less the loans.  The Department of War engaging in many of the largest data centers across the country, including in Utah, have yet to book or analyze the costs.  And given Hegseth’s extensive ‘math and accounting’ background the Pentagon is going to go broke.

Making Trump’s Military bunker under the Ballroom even more suspect for its unsustainability.  Although, on a brighter note, the economic realization may be a pushback for the launch of the ‘digital credit system’ as proposed by the World Economic Forum. Building a global credit and financial system involves monumental outlays, including trillions in infrastructure and immense societal trade-offs.  While the structure could be built in roughly 3 years, the integration would take another 7 to 10 years.  Variability being country specific.

The land alone for these data centers is in the billions with military intelligence costs considered “classified”.  One such data center is owned by the NSA and is located at Camp Williams, Utah.  Perspective:  The Camp David data center is 1 million square feet. 100,000 of the million is designated mission critical Tier III, while 900,000 square feet is designated technical support and admin – 90%.  Completed in 2014, the twenty building complex includes water treatment facilities, chiller plants, electric substation, fire pump house, warehouse, vehicle inspection facility, visitor control center, and sixty diesel-fueled emergency standby generators and fuel facility for a 3-day 100% power backup capability. This was the source for Edward Snowden’s whistleblower release. 

The electricity cost for Camp Williams data center is $70 million, Maintenance is another $20 million, water usage is 1.5 million gallons daily.  It is built on a desert.  The purpose?  Surveillance.

While government subsidies have eliminated property taxes on these facilities, their value to the state is a negative number given the depletion of electricity and water.  Their employees are not local.  And their spectrum of surveillance is on a global as well as national level.  In that regard, it is curious why we would need more than one.   According to Bloomberg, in 2026 half of all proposed data centers will face delays or cancellation. Why?  Shortage of materials and supply chain delays.

Components are not manufactured in the US so contractors need to buy from Canada, Mexico, South Korea and – China.  But Trump has created riffs with these countries hemorrhaging land loans, inflating building costs, while interest rates on loans eat up the remaining cash on hand. Which is why corporations are looking into Bond Sales, Bridge Loans, and other means as time frames lag.

With the realization that AI is cost prohibitive, corporations scaling back will create a glut of outstanding loans against vacant land. Banks will look for bailouts. And the circle will stop short.  Oracle has $100 billion in debt against an Abilene data center where clients are walking away.  Outstanding debt has reached hundreds of billions with Morgan Stanley claiming the need for Trillions in external funding in America alone.

The Military Funding on taxpayer debt?  Top Secret – super doper classified. Don’t even ask – whisper…

Productivity and Growth in America – An Economic Stagnation

Posted on by Helena

Big Pharma/Healthcare has become the defining industry driving America’s economy.   In 2024, healthcare spending reached $5.3Trillion and employs over 18 million.  It is the number two industry for spending and employment, second to the US Government. These two industries combined represent 28% to 30% of all US employment.  They produce nothing of value to the economy, are both driven by sick people, and are the bulwarks and drivers of US growth.   

Which is not ‘growth’ at all.  Productivity is growth. Key factors which stimulate growth include technological innovation, investment in capital goods (machinery, infrastructure), improvements in human capital (education and training), and the accumulation of natural resources. What can we trade?  What can we sell?  The largest manufacturing employer in the US is Boeing.  The first quarter of 2026 revealed a 50% uptick in defense earnings driven by Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon and Northrup.  None of which contributes to the ‘economy’ and stability of America.

The focus is a cycle of expansion, profit, more.  While providing Americans with a continual graveyard of less.  Other unproductive assets include Lawyers and Bankers.  Lawyers fight for their own profits and Bankers manage the Lawyers money.  They comprise upwards of 3 million in employment statistics.  Incoming generations looking for work are now rejected as AI replaces key growth industries – technology and education. Every Industrial Revolution creates this schism, leaving behind the old for the new, which will make life so much better and people ~ Happy…

We are not in a season of ‘happy’.  And the promise we are given is that everything will be much worse tomorrow.  The question remains, can we step out of this Matrix, or is this simply our destiny?

Modern warfare generally cripples long-term GDP, destroys infrastructure, and leaves a lasting economic burden, creating a “false boom” built on destroying wealth rather than creating it.  Trump wants Americans to foot the Bill for the destruction in the Middle East.  Each country is estimating their respective damage, not including lost revenue, is in the range of $60 Billion+.  Those countries include Iran, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Total Tab $360 billion to $400 billion not including America’s losses. On a military budget of $1.5 trillion which equates to the largest industry responsible for ‘deficit spending’.

Data Centers service technology including AI.  Not through productivity and growth, but in maintaining the lost human capital while depleting water resources which will impair agriculture, ranches and drinking water for millions.  With more online, Texas Data Centers now use 50 billion gallons of water annually.  The entire city of Austin uses 45.6 billion gallons of water annually hosting 61 data centers.  Residents are on severe water restrictions.  AI will require a 300% to 400% increase in water useage.  And governments tell citizens to conserve in order for AI to exist.  Growth?  Productivity?  No.  An Industrial Revolution directly devaluing not just human capital – but humanity.

Israel has come up with a solution – desalinization plants across the coastlines – built  by an Israeli company, IDE Technologies. A private company fully owned by Alfa Water Partners, run by CEO – Alon Tevor.  Three wastewater treatment plants have already been built by them in America; Colorado, California, and Florida.  The cost for a desalinization plant is roughly $1.7 Billion and takes 5 years to build.

Avshalom Felber is the owner of Alfa Water Partners involved in a fraud scheme wherein they used a shell company they claimed was based in Switzerland to get contracts from the Saudis, Pakistan and Kuwait. The Middle East boycotts desalinization contracts with Israel.

America needs a blueprint.  A new economic model.  A means of fairly sharing resources.  Otherwise, we will be importing everything and exporting nothing.  It is already a given that our debt is never going to diminish and continue to grow until other countries simply refuse to take our money as it deflates on a daily basis.  Crypto?

Trump and Melania have both issued their own memecoins – they retained 75% of sales profiting nicely while the valuations tanked. January 19, 2025, Trump’s memecoin reached $45.47, today it is valued at $2.20 to $2.50, a fifteen-month loss of 95%.  He considers himself a Crypto Genius.  The conglomerate, World Liberty, is 49% owned by the UAE.  There are 24.67 billion tokens in circulation with a valuation of 7.2cents per token and $1.776 billion total.  The UAE’s share is thus $870 million.

Memecoin gambling – The Casino Effect.  Nothing of value produced.  All this money and nothing.  This is a perfect example of the Economic BUST that Trump and his Mafia Partners are producing for America.  Add WAR to the equation, and America is spiraling rapidly into a black hole.

Mass production of robots is a few years away with Tesla Optimus, UBTECH Walker, Agibot and Unitree Robotics.  Made in China with the exception of Tesla.

America Is In A Recession Carved By Trump’s War Machine

Posted on by Helena

According to Business Insider, the US is not facing a recession – we are effectively in one.  Caused by economic uncertainty directly related to Trump’s War Machine.  The Hit to Taxpayers to date for the Iran War alone is $58 Billion.  Hegseth has now asking GM and Ford to cut their car manufacturing and retool more weapon manufacturing.  Fires are burning amidst a massive drought across Colorado and Trump has twice refused Governor Polis any aid support.  US infrastructure needs a $3 Trillion boot to upgrade from its C Rating.  And America has become the Pirates of the sea confiscating oil. 

Oil and Gas facilities across the Middle East took the greatest proportion of damaging cost pegged at $50 billion.  Who will pay?  Iran has stated that the Middle Eastern countries which hosted the US and Israeli strikes should foot the bill – however, logistics in completion could cost the economy outside of repairs and run many years.  Saudi Arabia has formally announced the US is officially persona-non-grata.  And a riff seems to be in the air between the UAE and Oman over the Iran War.  As a direct result, at least $3.34 Trillion will be removed from Trump’s Investment pledges. 

Where is the MONEY going to come from in America?  With $2 Trillion annual deficit spending it appears as though printing worthless money is the solution.  Ratcheting up inflation and further depressing individual taxpayers, seniors, and small businesses.  Yet according to the White House – we are all enjoying the best economy ever!!!  How could we possibly have missed all that wealth?

Looking at numbers:  To invest with Blackrock or any of the controlling hedge funds one needs a ‘minimum’ of $2 million cash.  The number of 401(k)’s with a balance of $1 million or more is 3.2%.  The average balance of a 401(k) for millennials is $67,000.  When Media Pundits Hail the Stock Market as a measure of the economy, they are literally hailing the 2%ers.  It is a meaningless measure and has been for decades.  But the market is labeled the Hallelujah of American exceptionalism while it makes money for ONLY the wealthiest 2%.

The Supreme Court ruled in February that Trump’s tariffs were illegal and would need to be repaid.  Trump was forced to reduce all tariffs to 10% valid for only 5 months before requiring full Congressional approval Per Section 122.  The repayment for all tariffs collected prior to the Supreme Court ruling still holds.

By focusing on Wars, Trump has ignored the Economy while attempting to take credit for every company announcement of restructuring and building.  By refusing to pay back the $200 billion in illegally imposed tariffs he opens Americans to a lawsuit.  By taking credit for companies planned expansions of internal investments, he has joined the ranks of gobspeak just as he continues to declare he personally stopped 9 Wars… and threatens Norway because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize.

The timeline for the Middle East to rebuild their oil and gas infrastructure is estimated to take 5-10 YEARS.  While Trump is still talking about bombing Turkey and Cuba because they insulted Israel. 

Meanwhile, as intel agencies continue their high speed rhetoric claiming China is a threat to the US, that ‘threat’ is now real, not in a military sense, but in an economic sense.   And in the sense of Respect.   America needs a massive overhaul of Washington to even survive much less attain lost dominance.  Hungary comes to mind. 

Orban was in control of Hungary for 16 years.  Corruption was rampant.  Magyar broke ranks with Orban taking control of the Parliament in a slam dunk.  How that plays out could help America learn how to mitigate Trump’s authoritarianism.  While Magyar is on the same page as Orban regarding immigration, his views on the EU are stronger than Orban’s while still pragmatic about Hungary’s reliance on Russian oil.   But the means he created his campaign is of interest – and should be particularly so with American Millennials.

IN DC, 20 members of the House are over 80.  60% of the Senate are baby boomers with an ‘average’ age of 64.  It is time for an overhaul of agers.  They need to go.  Mandatory retirement for the military is 62 with the exception of generals.  There should be no exception, but it provides a framework for Congress.  Either follow the mandatory age of 62 or reboot everyone to 70.  But there is no exception to the rule. 

Magyar is 45.  He created what were called Tisza Islands, or small civic groups.  These groups were scattered across the country and would hold meetings with the locals and instead of telling them how great Magyar was, they would ask the electorate specific questions and compile the results.  While Magyar was thus appealing to the electorate – Orban was buffooning his best imitation of Trump. 

His entire campaign thus became a vision based within reality as opposed to fake polls and fake surveys.  Magyar addressed exactly what the people wanted.  His performance as PM has yet to be tested, but we have the opportunity to watch and learn if this is something to mimic in America. To root out the corruption, the liars, to call them out publicly, to force resignations like Swalwell. 

The Tisza Party won a supermajority of two thirds.  His first hurdle is to recover the EU withheld funds of $20 billion due to Orban’s refusals to comply with immigration.  Given Magyar has no intention of complying with immigration quotas established by the EU, this could be a rather burdensome uphill agenda.  In addition, he has not noted a definitive stance on Israel and Palestine.  It is a wait and see.  But the world is shifting and the aging Boomers need to step aside.

The Dollar As Global Reserve Currency is Wobbling Precariously

Posted on by Helena

World Economic Forum:  “Central banks are diversifying their currency reserves, and the development of alternative payment corridors that reduce dependencies on the US dollar are expanding.  Recent analysis by the World Economic Forum estimates that heightened fragmentation could reduce global GDP by up to $5.7 trillion, while also stoking inflation.”

As the Global Reserve Currency, the dollar dominance is directly correlated to perceived safety and security of the government, and the economy in relation to other dominant economies.  Alternative currencies at this stage are not a threat, however, Trump’s Tariffs and Warring have created a wobble.  A wobble in earth’s rotation creates fragmentation, a wobble in the global financial system can create a collapse. 

The wobble began when the Trump Tariffs were announced fracturing global trade and causing China’s yuan to gain some dominance.  While Bitcoin isn’t tied to a country or government, it too gained traction in 2025 in response to Trump’s rhetoric and escalating flip-flops leading to his now rather psychotic behavior.  Trump’s posturing on Iran gave even more traction to China and the wobbling became more frenetic.  The US market is not an indicater of much of anything any longer, as finances are shared between BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street.  Leaving the stage empty except for a single podium and a monologue of pitiful LIES.  Anyone…. Anyone…?

The only country with the courage to mock this hideous Play and give it an F Rating, has been Iran.  The three countries hedging against the dollar include China, Russia and Turkey who have been steadily buying gold in anticipation of a dollar and/or America collapse.  Since 1970, the dollar as a global foreign exchange reserve had dropped by a third before the policies of Trump and the War. 

IF gold became the new reserve currency, America would be forced to reveal the contents of Fort Knox.  The last audit was around 1974 and was considered rather inane given it was simply an invitation for some congressional members to view the vaults.  The last full audit was in 1953 under Eisenhower.  If in fact the vaults are severely depleted as many believe, should gold become the new reserve currency, America is farked.  In July 2025, France requested the return of its $15 billion gold reserves from the US.  It took until January 2026 for the US to comply.

If the dollar lost its place on the throne, America would likely face significantly higher borrowing costs, forcing a choice between tax hikes, debt restructuring, or severe austerity measures.  True inflation would be catastrophic.  As everything that was – is no longer, and the shroud of lies would be forced to speak truth.  A tumbling instead of a wobble.  Something like the collapse of the Soviet Union.   One rather interesting shift would be the removal of economic sanctions with which the US is so gloriously generous.

Currently, over 30 countries and 13,000 individuals are sanctioned by America.  In addition, some 500 entities are sanctioned for human rights offenses and abuses.  That leverage would disappear.  Spain has become the latest country to be expelled from trade by Trump.  These sanctions ride piggy-back on who is holding the golden rod of Global Reserve Currency. 

In 1944 The Bretton Woods system was adopted in which America was appointed the holder of the global currency status because the US controlled two thirds of the global gold.  In 1971, Nixon ended the convertibility of the US dollar to gold and effectively ended the Bretton Woods Agreement.  Thus, the dollar was now simple fiat currency – it’s only backing a pinky swear promise creating floating exchange rates.   Nixon instituted this fiat system to halt a run on U.S. gold reserves by foreign nations, combat inflation, and prevent economic collapse. Massive foreign debt, trade deficits, and high costs from the Vietnam War had crumbled America’s economy.

At the time of Nixon’s decision, the US debt to GDP was 35%, and the DoD budget was $72 billion.  Today the debt to GDP is 125% and likely to grow significantly as the Iran War costs, Venezuela conflict costs, Israeli military costs, and tariffs blow the economy apart, while the Dod Budget is well over $1 Trillion.  Adjusted for inflation, the 1971 Dod $72 Billion budget would be worth roughly $590 Billion or about half the true budget imposed today.

Statistically the numbers are completely out of whack!  Today 60% of the global gold (assuming America isn’t lying) is held by the US, Germany, France, Russia, China, Japan, and Italy.  Not only has the US lost its ranking in GDP and DoD Spending, it no longer has the right to exalt holding 66% of the world’s gold for which status as the ‘Global Currency Reserve’ was framed.  Thus, we are listing heavily on perceptions, illusions, and crystal ball estimations.

BRICS accelerated the use of alternate currencies as did the era of Bitcoin et al.  The Iran war will further this evolution and central banks will sell off treasuries to balance their portfolio risks.  China, Brazil, India, Japan, Sweden and Denmark are selling treasuries while increasing their holding in gold.  The slow reorganization of world powers is gaining significant traction.  IF Trump was pro-America, this would be his focus.  Instead, Trump is literally doing the exact opposite …

US Economy – Tech Company Layoffs For AI Data Centers

Posted on by Helena

Oracle is building new Data Centers in Michigan and Texas with additional expansion projected.  The result?  Over 30,000 global employees fired with additional cuts coming this month.  The pink slip:  “… the position you currently hold will become redundant.”  AI is accelerating its replacement of humans and contrary to Musk’s bizarre predictions that this will create utopia, this results in unemployed persons!  Unemployed persons cannot put food on the table or pay rent.  Unemployed persons become angry.  Unemployed persons increases criminal activity.

Amazon (16,000), Block (10,000) and META (2,000) are also laying off employees to prioritize AI investment.  While much of the data center buildout has been on the table for years, the cost of Data Centers is directly impacted by the cost of construction, ie labor and materials.  Those materials include:  concrete, steel, lithium batteries, diesel generators, copper and aluminum, rare earth elements and microchips. 

All these materials are now roughly double what they were vs ten years ago.  With interest rates elevated, financing thru debt is expensive – factors that are causing the layoffs.  It isn’t simple redundancy, it is a cash insolvency problem as companies need to sustain themselves for the future.  Intel’s Megachip factory in Ohio has slammed face first into these issues causing cost overruns and a pushback on completion dates from 2024 to hoping for 2029 or later… 

The Defense Departments obsession with war and death hasn’t helped the anxiety.  Nor has Trump’s Big Beautiful Ballroom wherein 99% of Americans will never be ‘invited’.  America’s priorities do not include the Arche De Trumpe.  Sanctions on anyone, or Tariffs that we pay as yet another tax. 

Now facing exceptionally elevated oil and gas prices, including Diesel fuel for Truckers, pricing will further impact the tech industry from keeping up with the ‘Joneses’ – in this case – China.  Jittery markets swing like Polymarket betting, hardly a banner of actual market realities.  America is obsessed with being FIRST.  Being Better.  Being Mightier!  And instead, manufacturing continues to crumble, China has far surpassed the US in AI, and our BILLS will quickly absorb 150% of our income creating massive bankruptcies.

While Trump builds a 10 meter Golden Statue of himself.  Vedy vedy gauche – someone pointed out that it is a near exact replica of Kim Jong Un.

Beneath the White House Ballroom, Hegseth is constructing a massive ‘Bunker’.  A fact that was just revealed today.  The details of the bunker and why it’s construction was hidden from Taxpayers remain ‘Top Secret’.  Given the Ballroom is 90,000 square feet, we can assume the bunker is at least that size.  Are some of the Bunker costs spilling over to assist in funding the Ballroom?  Very probable.   According to Trump, the Bunker is for himself and his guests…  definitely, not for the little people.  Sort of like the Israeli bunkers that only allow Jews.

Eric Trump has proudly released the architectural renderings of THE Trump Library which is constructed via donations, however the infrastructure supporting the construction is born by Taxpayers as well as ongoing operations and maintenance.  Trump has just informed the public at large that because he doesn’t read books, his library is going to be a hotel.  A wholly different ‘operation and maintenance’ requirement, not to mention an infrastructure nightmare that will likely become a court case…

Why does every President require a library in their name?  Isn’t that a rather redundant concept?  Why is their not ONE single library to which each president may donate a preconceived amount of material?  NARA is currently paying $40 million annually for operation costs of these Libraries.  The infrastructure for Obama’s library alone is roughly $600 million. 

My millennial sons and their friends are becoming more aggressively angry right now at the tax structure and the slave labor theory of American workers estimating that when all taxes are tallied, they might be left with 40% of their income.   The criminals who have no repercussions are driving prices up as companies are forced to hire private security, and now with oil bouncing out of the ballpark – everything will become unaffordable. 

While Trump has stated that oil will fall below where it was before the war, while simultaneously stating the Strait of Hormuz now closed is Europe’s problem, and Europe claiming they are completely broke – I doubt oil prices will miraculously fall.  But the illogic and continual lying is taking its toll and creating more distress than Truth.

Indictments?  Two indictments – both tossed by the courts.  Lots of talk-talk about bad guys and democrats… 

The Trump Effect: Make America’s Billionaires Bigger Again

Posted on by Helena

The Strait of Hormuz remains shuttered from every western country with perhaps the exception of Spain.  As officials walk out of Military pow-wows shaking their heads in disgust, it appears Hegseth’s advisors have zero strategy with regard to a ground invasion.  A suicide mission.  Today, Trump has declared the EU must figure out its own means of dealing with Iran given America doesn’t need the Strait…  Except America is the reason it is closed.  And given the bills are mounting with at least 12 destroyed US bases, the cost of deploying bombs and jets, refueling the ships and jets at triple the cost, Trump says “The Arabs” have to foot the bill.   

Now Trump is telling Europe they have a choice either buy from America or buy from Russia.  Of course, Trump’s specific actions caused that Brent Crude price to spike over $108 settling at $103.7 from its 2025 price of $61.  NOT including massive shipping fees from America to Europe – adding an additional near $4 per barrel.  Russia has already realigned its clients with India representing a significant increase.  America imports roughly $173 billion…

According to the Daily Treasury Statement, in the first 6 months of Fiscal Year 2026 Withdrawals exceed Deposits by $1 trillion.  The last Financial Statements for the Department of War were as of FYE2025 = September 30, 2025.  The audit was NOT done outside of government but was conducted by the GAO.  STILL, they failed – miserably.  In response, the Department of War CPA said they would resolve critical issues and request an updated ‘internal’ audit of FY 2025 – in 2028.  Coincidentally, coinciding with an election Year.

DEBT CLOCK:  Federal Debt has surpassed $39 Trillion.  Of a US Workforce of 162 million people (30 million of which are part time) and 72 million children under the age of 18, 62 million retirees, some 82 million disabled, and 14.3 million unemployed there simply isn’t enough inflow to support America.  There are 36.8 million people living in poverty yet 87.5 million receiving Medicaid – the single largest COST of the Treasury Statement* – I don’t consider payments for SS a Cost given it was forcibly taxed.

Trump is not 100% responsible, but nonetheless the ONLY promise kept is a 98% downsizing of border crossings.  Unfortunately, it comes on the heels of Trump’s former Director of HHS, Kristi Noem under investigation over her $220 Million ad campaign which seemingly promoted Noem’s political ambitions more than anything else of value.  Contracts were given to Trump buddies as commissions with two receiving $23 million.  The White House Hustle continues to bludgeon Taxpayers

While Trump continues to pardon White Collar criminals effectively removing $2-$3 billion of their debt to victims, the rumor mill suggests that Trump is actually collecting bribes for pardons.  The latest being a Jewish owner of nursing homes released after 3 months of a 30 year sentence and enjoying the wiping out of $39million he owed in restitution.  Does this ‘benefit’ America?   The corruption of our Federal Government is not a PARTY system – it is The Federal Government in its entirety.

Southern Lebanon has officially fallen and is now occupied by Israel.  Over 1 million people are displaced including Christians.  The sentence is so common any longer, it has little effect.  Displaced – as in no home, no clothes, no food, nowhere to go, and bombs continuing to fall on their heads.  Of the one million displaced and 1238 dead, including 3 peacekeepers and 52 medics.  The IDF claims 2700 Hezbollah were neutralized.  An overstatement on par with Trump’s drug pricing being reduced by at least 800%…  The IDF Zionists and their ‘funny common core math’. 

At this point, Israel is too busy taking over southern Lebanon to bother with Iran – leaving Trump’s Department of War to mitigate.  There are no talks taking place at all despite various claims by Trump.   Witkoff’s calls are going unanswered given he is incompetent and Lies.  There are no developments in regard to Ukraine as the CIA continues its operations there unheeded.  The Double Speak is now rather inglorious.

The Question remains, a dangling participle, how will Trump be able to extricate himself from the mess he has made in Iran and by default America?  NATO is effectively dead on arrival.  Military inventory is depleted.  The narrative has been upended.  Rubio continues to make a mockery of himself.  Hegseth seems armed with amphetamines.  And JD Vance has no credibility or charm.

Answer:  He doesn’t know because more important things have developed;  a Judge has ordered Trump’s Big Beautiful Ballroom construction come to a halt because it was never approved by Congress.  Priorities…

TARIFFS:  Despite Trump’s Tariff policy being struck down by the courts, February 2026, Trump issued an EO stating:  Beginning on the effective date of this order, an additional ad valorem rate of duty — for example, 25 percent — may be imposed on goods imported into the United States that are products of any country that directly or indirectly purchases, imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or services from Iran, in accordance with subsections (b) and (c) of this section.  As Trump details that the War with Iran is not a War because that would be Unconstitutional, the Tariff TAX is called a ‘rate of duty’.

Trump Media Group including Truth Social has hit a new low having peaked at $92.05 in 2022, is now trading at $8.72 mirroring everything he touches turns to dust.  Yet despite the drain on wealth, Trump somehow managed to squeak by with a $1.5 Billion gain in Net Worth 2025.

Ultimately, one thing is certain;  Making America Great Again was specifically focused on Make American Billionaires Bigger Again.  MABBA!

Netanyahu’s Potential Death Leaves White House in Panic

Posted on by Helena

TRUMP PUSHING ALLIES ON STRAIT OF HORMUZ:  Except the US has no more allies.  The US has a few countries which want America’s money – but allies?  No.  Argentina is just another Debt to Taxpayers.  The EU is backing off.  The Middle East is backing off.  The only ones pushing bigger and greater war are Netanyahu and Trump.  Rumors of Netanyahu’s death are gaining traction as Israel released two obvious AI fakes.  Which leaves Trump in left field fighting a war that Iran will use to economically destroy America undermining Trump’s legacy. A Lone Hyena.

The fact that Iran is allowing ‘certain’ ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz is most assuredly an ‘eff you’ moment.  Any country participating in the Israel/America bloodlust will be destroyed trying to pass through the strait.  Any rote Military Commander would have anticipated this response – but Hegseth, like Trump, is more of a party man than a strategic intelligence operative.  And thus – they were ill-prepared for losing.

While the Hallelujah Magas were screaming victory when oil prices came down = after surging past $100, they have since opted to remain mum.  Trump claims that high oil prices will benefit America – but not Americans.  A distinction that is apparently irrelevant to the billionaires operating via the White House.  It wasn’t that long ago that oil price spikes destroyed the US economy during the CoVid Crisis as we now know was initiated by Trump as he colluded with Fauci and Gates.  SHORTAGES.  Supply Chain disruptions.  INFLATION.  Air Fare Spikes! 

Yet, somehow it will be different when oil spikes this time.  Because billionaire energy companies will profit while passing $-0- profit to the American Economy.  Trump’s Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, has declared that Americans will feel the pinch – but only for a short time.  WHY?  Iran has indicated its terms for opening the Strait which would effectively mean America, ie Trump, would have to admit to the global stage – DEFEAT.  His ego will not allow such a precedent. 

The deflection Champion will likely turn attention to Trump’s newest enemies, Turkey and Cuba.  Cubans are literally starving under the oppression of American sanctions imposed by Trump.  And the Fear Feed is in High Gear.  Why?  Because it suppresses the brain from logical and rational thinking.  Ultimately damaging those cells – just as Israel has done to entire civilizations in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, Syria, and Sudan. 

 Fear triggers a rapid, cascading reaction starting in the amygdala (the brain’s alarm system), which detects threats and signals the release of neurotransmitters like glutamate, norepinephrine, and stress hormones like cortisol. This initiates the fight or flight response, causing racing heart, sweating, and intense focus on the threat while inhibiting higher-level reasoning.  Logic and rational thinking are suppressed and then create a memory code that can create traumatic recall – like PTSD.  It does not disappear.  Thus, Gazans, those in the West Bank, Lebanese, Iranians, Americans – ALL are subjected to a brain deprivation that lasts forever.  It cannot be repaired.  Entire generations and civilizations have been so compromised.

“Experts” have attempted to erase memories in brains so as to repair the damage – to no avail.  Of course, the go-to means has been ‘drugs’, such as propranolol which has adverse reactions when used in combination with over 40 other prescription meds.  Side Effects include cardiac shock, muscle problems, heart-attack, heart failure, Parkinsons, diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, Hyperthyroidism, Hypoglycemia, Vomiting, anaphylactic reactions, etc, etc. etc.  The drug is also used for Migraines and high blood pressure.   CLASSIC PHARMA. 

Social media heightens the fear quotient.  Translating fear into narratives via our MSM Media stalwarts.  All done purposefully.  Countered by – music and nature. 

Bottom Line – Trump is in fear mode.  Without his crutch – Netanyahu.  Unable to discern economic or military strategies to hold up America if even for a few years.  Knowing that without his Master, his entire family is put at risk along with his White House appointees carrying on massive fraud and money laundering.  Like Biden, we can expect Money, Appropriations, to simply disappear.  Leaving Americans High and Dry to navigate through the coming Dark Ages.

And Don’t expect the Military to come to our defense… particularly The Marines.

White House Lies: Iran War, Strait of Hormuz, Oil Spikes, Nukes

Posted on by Helena

While oil prices have skyrocketed to a high of $119+, gold and silver seem to be under the thumb of Wall Street.  A shortfall of cash has hit BlackRock and Blackstone as clients put in orders to covert shares to cash and withdraw the funds.  Both hedge funds lowered their caps for cash withdrawals per transaction as a bank crash style maneuver, but the reality remains despite Trump’s continued War Cry that the Strait of Hormuz is open for business because exactly ONE ship passed through.

Iran says the Strait is on fire due to Israel and Trump bombing their oil refineries.  The Strait is closed and it isn’t just oil traffic getting hit, but every cargo vessel large and small.  Alexandr Dugin predicts Saudi’s and the entire Middle East will simply stop production within a week until the War has ended.  But the UK is facing a 2 days supply before their coffers are empty.  Gas lines are reminiscent of the Carter days.  While the US Strategic Reserve is at 65% given Trump did not cap it before sending troops into War – his failure to do so is indicative of his inept strategy.  Too busy with his “Ballroom”.

Hegseth’s military career hardly gives him the expertise necessary to command $1.5 Trillion in revenues, much less strategize a War as a National Guard – major.  NOT a major general,  a major with zero experience directing soldiers and platoons.  And thus, the two day war is now potentially extended into Spring – and possibly summer given Iran will never capitulate after what these two Idiotic armies have done to their country and peoples.  Neither Israel nor the US is prepared for such an extended ‘conflict’.  The embarrassment is rife!

Meanwhile our White House continues to Lie.  It has become second nature.  The actual casualty count is considered to have surpassed 1,000 as the White House attempts to convey just 6 soldiers having died despite 27 US Bases being hit by Iran.  Allegiances are  frazzled and will likely become much more so as they contemplate their own losses and dried up revenue sources, ie OIL.  Modi, for his part betrayed Iran and gave Israel coordinates to make a strike inside Iran and the schism slides as a BRICS country betrays its own. Leaving India up for retribution under the newly appointed Ayatollah who has zero affinity for betrayal.

The longer and more protracted the war, the more protracted will be our resources.  Trickling down through the economy gas spikes will affect everything.  Once the gold and silver quash by Wall Street is lifted, metals will spike!  The dollar is now in full bear territory as noted by Hedge Funds capping cash withdrawals.  And now would certainly appear to be anyone’s last hurrah for attempting to hedge a collapsing economy that will have Global impacts.  The Pandemic War has now officially been extended to the Iran War.

Leavitt as Speaker keeps extending the Lies claiming every country supports this war as Trump is a Man of Peace.  Somehow, I think she believes this given her Cult status.  Tech elites are seeing the impact this war is now having and will continue to have for their future profits and are securing Bunkers. 

Meanwhile the Pundit Media is obsessed with discussing who would be a good President and VP pick for 2028…  Trying to pretend there will be a 2028.  And their brains stuck in a Daquari somewhere in Bora Bora.    The Newest lineup has Rubio as President and Condoleezza Rice as VP.  No joke!  She has been sitting in on Trump’s internal pow-wows given her great expertise in taking out Iraq’s Saddam…  IF anyone had any doubts that the Trump regime was not composed of Clinton, Bush and Obama neocons and democrats, one need doubt any longer.  McCain would be proud.  The Deep State is in FULL CONTROL.

The Global question at this point in the Iran War is what is the US/Israel End Game?  Given they were of the presumption that this would be a two day slash and dash, with the proposition of regime change altering literally daily, what exactly do these two Pariah regimes foretell?   While there is discussion of the Third Temple and ushering in Ba’al, it would appear there is a bit of a setback given this would require the demolition of the Al Aqsa Mosque.

Demolishing this very holy temple of Islam would most assuredly secure a nuclear war against both Israel and America.  Both countries are ill-prepared for such an event.  The US having never had a foreign war on US Soil since its founding.  Being led by a major with the head of Chabad mystic does not exactly impart great confidence.  And National Guardsmen having no tactical training in war would take America back to the stone age to be sure. 

Of course, the one country that has some of the most highly trained medical personnel in the world given the US imposed sanctions have destroyed every other aspect of continuity – Cuba would likely not be too keen on helping Trump’s America given Rubio has announced after Iran – Cuba is next for annihilation!  Why?  Because they exist. And at this point – existence appears to be the motivation behind Trump and Netanyahu’s deign for ‘nonexistentance’.  While lobbing such words as evil, satanic, chaos, and Loser – Trump’s particular favorite. 

WHERE IS THE CHURCH?  Where is the condemnation?  Where are the Pastors and Ministers who claim to be God’s Authority?  Where are the Priests and Bishops and Cardinals?  Where are the statements proclaiming Jesus Christ from pulpits and microphones?  Are you deaf?  Mute?  Afraid?  Cowardly?  Why don’t you SPEAK?

Trump’s America: WAR, Trade Death, & Agriculture Bankruptcies

Posted on by Helena

China has rolled out Tariff free market exchange across 53 African nations.  Just as taxing millionaires simply makes them move, Africa was roiling from Trump’s Tariffs which hit South Africa to the tune of 30%.  China steps in and America loses.  Trump keeps handing China the gauntlet of trade and prosperity while sending American troops to WAR and farmers into bankruptcy.    

The US Agriculture Center is under stress as costs increase and commodity prices crash.  The main export crops include Soy, Wheat and Corn.  The main importer?  China.  Trump’s solution?  Use more glyphosate and he’ll remove cancer liability issues through force.  China’s solution?  Find trade elsewhere;  Sub-Sahara Africa is a major producer of corn. Ethiopia is the newest wheat capital.  And South Africa is now leading in production of Soybeans.  Not only will pricing beat out American Farmers, but shipping will also be considerably less.  For China – a win/win!

Trump’s secondary solution?  Give farmers Taxpayer subsidies.  Now they can grow nothing for nobody.  From which pocket will the subsidies originate?  Under President Trump, the US debt is now growing at a staggering $6 billion – per day!  Trump just pledged $10 billion to Gaza and another $10 billion to Israel. 

Farm bankruptcies were up 46% in 2025 shutting down 315 family farms.  Who got the money?  Not farmers, but Israel, the subsidized nation paid for by American Taxpayers.  Farm loans increased dramatically as farmers sought to stay afloat amidst a tariff nightmare reaching into the $350 billion range.

The US trade deficit in goods widened to $1.24 Trillion.  While the trade with China dropped significantly, the deficit rose via Taiwan, Mexico and Vietnam.  Overall the deficit remained unchanged despite Trump’s Big Beautiful Tariffs.  In an unprecedented off the script speech, Trump announced he’ll give away the tariff money he has collected, which he claims is $18 trillion, to a few lower income taxpayers, use some for more powerful weapons like his son’s drone company, and the rest will pay down the debt.

But there is no $18 trillion.  The actual additional revenue is roughly $194 billion. Roughly 1%.  China leads paying the most in Tariff revenue followed by Mexico, Canada, India, Japan and Germany.  Canada is Trump’s newest pariah and will soon shift their economy toward China.  India has already shifted  toward Russia and China.  And Germany doesn’t seem to have a clear direction anywhere except Ukraine – pledging money, troops, weapons, etc… while citizens can’t afford to heat their homes.

Adding to the fray of abject economic failures, despite Trump’s claims that he reduced the federal government, initiated DOGE fraud eliminations, and made money on Tariffs, the DUS Debt has risen nearly $3 trillion.   The actual number of unemployed persons is 14.3 million.  164 million people in the workforce, including 28.7 million part-time workers, are supporting 24 million government workers and countless sub-contractors all getting paid more than the 95% of average workers.  Thus WAR is the only option to completely unravel a failed Empire. The age of conscription is 18-25.  An entire generation that will create a new Dark Ages.

Today, speaking at the first meeting of the Board of Peace, Trump announced Iran has ten days to comply with Washington’s demands or suffer the consequences, ie WAR.  Given Trump’s previous negotiations with Iran were superimposed with strikes, it is more likely the ten day period will last a fraction of that.  How many will die for peace?  Will troops honor Hegseth’s death strategy?  Will Congress be able to intervene?  Will Russia or China react?

Regime Change is a CIA/NED intel operation.  IF Trump anticipates turning the Iran’s power off as he did in order to capture Maduro, the most significant difference is Iran has Hypersonics which do not require a power grid to operate.  Nicknamed the ‘Discombobulator’  contrary to Trump’s assessment, rockets and missiles also do not require a power grip to be operational.  Instead they operate via batteries or onboard gas generators.  A Maduro 2 would likely NOT happen. However, Jesse Canchola at Medium.com discusses The Discombobulator in more detail –

Thus, ‘freeing’ the Iranians would mean murdering a large number in a nondeclared air and boots on the ground war.  With Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman hosting US Bases, they are reticent to allow airstrikes from these bases given the obvious repercussions.  The UK has also denied access.  Leaving just Israel and battle ship carriers in the gulf as the sole offensive.  The War thus becomes a remake of the 1950’s movie Rebel Without A Cause and the game of ‘Chicken’. 

WHO WILL STRIKE FIRST?
