Trump’s RECIPROCAL TARIFFS: How Dare He!

Posted on by Helena

World Leaders Plan Next Step After Trump Tariffs:  “…countries have responded with dismay after US President Donald Trump announced “reciprocal tariffs” ranging from 10% to 49%”.  The key phrase = ‘reciprocal tariffs’ – as in Eu countries have been overcharging the US for decades and now they are getting a taste of their own poison.  How Dare the US charge other countries comparable fees that have been charged on American goods!   “This will result in dire consequences for millions of people” ~ Von der Leyen. 

Russia is immune to the tariffs and thus trade will divert to those countries which are fair. The schism is in motion.   The tariff discrepancy has led to trade imbalances for the US, aka Taxpayers, Taxpayers essentially thus supporting other countries to the detriment of our economy.   Economies that grew at rates far greater than the US. 

Example:   Switzerland is stymied that Trump would dare to levy tariffs on their country given that in January 2024, Switzerland declared no tariffs on US Industrials.   But the vast majority of US imports are NOT industrials, instead they include:  gold, blood, vaccines, toxins and jewelry – all subject to tariffs.   A media parlay gamut.  Tch.

According to the Liberal Pundit, The Atlantic, Trump’s trade war will backfire on par with the stock market crash of October 1929.    A new era of non-prosperity.  Liberals are still playing the head-in-sand game regarding an American economy running without oil, causing temperatures within the engine to rise, resulting in overheating, which can cause irreversible damage to various engine parts and systems. Overheating can lead to warped cylinder heads, cracked engine blocks, engine seizure, and other serious issues. Until the car is no longer viable or repairable – a total loss. 

It is true that the stock market will correct.  It is over-bloated, running amok on the Autobahn going 180 kph while the engine literally cracks, parts fly, and a sheer catastrophic crash is imminent.  Or, President Trump can initiate a controlled crash.  There is no other option.  The Maserati is shedding parts faster than an F-35 hitting the speed of sound.  US manufacturing is choked.  Government cannot account for over $20 Trillion in spending.   Taxpayers are in debt to the HILT.   Credit Card companies are charging 27% INTEREST!

And the Pundits claim the economy is the best in the world…  Not a good outlook for the Globe if in fact that is near factual.

The Atlantic hit piece is written by Roge Karma, a 29 year old devout liberal with a BA in political science who thinks he is ‘building bridges’ with his narcissistic denunciation of all things Trump.  The last recession in his lifetime was in 2008 at which time he was 12.  His understanding of the The Great Depression is likely garnered from Hollywood sitcoms.  A classic Liberal egocentric attitude benefited by his branding make-over at McKinsey & Co, Karma is senior editor at the Ezra Klein Show.     

What are the market prospects for the transition?  

MSM Media:  Bank stocks are dropping despite Tariffs having zero direct impact.  Instead, the script reads, “banks could be impacted by tariffs more than you might think. The performance of a bank is highly dependent on the health of the U.S. economy. If a recession hits, for example, consumers spend less, which means lower loan volumes, and it also tends to lead to people having trouble paying their bills, leading to rising loan losses.”

The problem with this statement is that during the entirety of the Biden Regime, the US economy by The People was collapsing under inflation hitting 60%+.   The three major economies of the EU have been in a recession for at least 2-3 years.   Government hiring was propping up a false economic picture as touted by The Regime and now the real numbers are being released while government workers are being laid off, NGO’s are being defunded, and the parlor game unravels.

With stock market panic vibes initiated by the Liberal MSM, the reality is a YTD drop of 3.4% to 4.3%.  Story lines parlay the fear words “Sink” “Plunge” “Recession”.   All to gratify the fault-line.  

 “Citigroup fell nearly 11%, while Bank of America and Morgan Stanley were down 9%. Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo slipped over 8% each. JPMorgan Chase, the biggest U.S. bank, dropped over 6%.”  

Yet reading ‘news’ regarding the banking sector from months ago – the fallout was already in motion given the housing market has been effectively nonexistent and the commercial market has continued its downward spiral.   All at the hands of Fed Jerome Powell – NOT President Trump.  The decline of investments as businesses struggle against lack of consumer spending in an inflationary spiral.  And the elimination of kickbacks pre-arranged from within the DOGED money laundering and fraud have all contributed to Bank Hits.

Far From OVER.

PERSPECTIVE:  The Market crisis of 1973 + 1974 saw declines of 16.58% and 27.57%.  1977 was 17.27%.  1981 was 9.23%.  2002 was 16.76%.  2008 was 33.84%. 2022 was 8.78%.

 

The West is Wile.E Coyote & The BRICS are The Road Runner

Posted on by Helena

Zelenskyy thought he was protected.   He thought he could do or say anything and still be the ‘head honcho’.  He took his war spoils and bought villas, houses, apartments, all while his wife, Olena, spent lavishly on – clothes and jewelry.   All while murdering their populace, the peoples they were tasked with bringing into the modern world.  The last statement in Zelenskyy’s presidential speech 2019:  “Now I will do all I can so that Ukrainians at least do not cry any more.”   Everything the West promises never comes true.

Like Syria, Ukraine will become the enemy of the same people who demanded No Peace.   Zelenskyy thought he was different.  Surely, the western Ashkenazi’s, Soros, would make sure Russia lost and he, Zelenskyy, would emerge a hero!   But Soros is on his deathbed.  Alex Soros doesn’t care about Ukraine.  He cares about money and Ukraine is the Money Pit of all time.   Without Soros, Ukraine has nothing.

Ukrainians that fled to Ireland and have lived on freebies paid for by the US and EU will no longer be leaches.   They must work, according to the Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar.   And thus the Ukraine War will die off, Ukrainians will return to a homeland their government destroyed, and life will be set back decades.   Like Syria.   The ally that was and then wasn’t.

What these Wars have distracted from is the global economic failure of western economies.

Failures that can be directly attributed to the suffocation of freedom and wealth by governments mired in blackmail, corruption, fraud and lies and ruled by a Mafia Cabal that would seemingly be stuck in a mindset and intelligence quotient of The Dark Ages – the 900 years of war, famine, desolation, murder, and anarchy.

Zelenskyy has proffered an invitation to come to Ukraine upon – Trump.   The lure?   Zelenskyy declares that even the compromised incapacitated Biden came to Ukraine and saw what was shown…   Perversion of words.  Zelenskyy wants to blackmail Trump in order for Trump to then come to the pulpit of Money for Ukraine.  Maybe he’ll try to transfer a few pounds of gold to Trump.  Or maybe he’ll try the leverage used against Congressional members – a little girl or boy for pleasures.   But the Lure is no different than the snake luring Eve…

This is the depravity our world has sunk into.  And a good Arc and Noah flooding is what we need.  Of course, in reality, the flood would be a nuke, and Noah would be Zuckerberg.   Sort of like those Leslie Nielsen movies – hilarious!  Probably not exactly the outcome The Master’s sought – but then their acumen has been righteously questioned.

The true Handlers behind the White House Red Curtain will likely never reveal themselves given they would be taking credit for an abject disaster!    But names are there:   Bloomberg, Holden, Rice, Soros, Rothschild, Morgan, Fink, Obama, Jarret, Axelrod, etc…  Personally, I think too much credit is given to Obama, he was a figurehead just like Biden, only Hollywood trained.  Smooth talker, smooth liar, in love with accolade.   His first love.   To come out of the closet and take credit for The Fall of America?   No.   He thrives on applause.

As the protests against the Israeli War continue unabated, the protestors are labeled communists, Hamas sympathizers, traitors, and worse.   Peacemakers are now communists.   Does that include the 13-20 UN peacemakers killed by Israeli bombs?   Were they communists according to Netanyahu?   After killing the UN peacekeepers, Netanyau went on a rampage against Amnesty International for not agreeing to go into Hamas tunnels in search of people to kill.

The IDF was more important, mustn’t put them in harm’s way, better to use Amnesty shields…

According to the UN, Palestinian casualties 2008-2020 amounted to roughly 120,000, compared to Israeli casualties of roughly 6,000.   Netanhayu has declared via video that he doesn’t care about the outcry of violations of International Law, he doesn’t care who or how many he kills and wounds, he only cares about making it hurt as much as possible so that all Palestinians will disappear forever and he can own the LAND and its resources 100%.   The ante is up and given a deal is not likely to be considered by Netanyahu, we have another Zelenskyy moment of death.

Oddly, these numbers, stats, and videos do little to disway those who blindly support a secular Israel which is technically a rogue terrorist state.   The Handlers behind the Red Curtain were caught off guard.   Bloomberg is Jewish – he has to support the Ashkenazi statehood.   But Obama wasn’t sure what side he was supposed to take – so he took both, just like US and UK funding – BOTH sides.  Just like WWII, just like WWI.   A betting game of sharks vs seals.

The ultimate fallout?   Those remaining Palestinians who have lost everything, whose psyche is damaged beyond repair, who cannot cope, will radicalize.   Who is to blame?   CIA, US, Mossad, MI6, and our esteemed military which oddly cannot find anyone willing to enlist.

While the idea of a ceasefire is not even discussed, Biden’s Handlers have attempted to leverage a ‘pause’.   A Pause.   As in, take a breath, and continue indiscriminate killing.   Just make sure that before you kill the women and children they have some milk in their bellies.  But the ‘pause’ is an obvious ploy to allow the Ohio nuclear submarine the ability to travel into a more strategic position.

Meanwhile the MSM ‘distraction of war’ is ignorant of the fact that Canada is now in a recession.   The Eurozone is in a recession with a hard winter approaching.   The US continues to falsify its data – but we are likely in or near a recession.   And despite leveling hundreds of sanctions on Russia, its economy continues to grow!!   The BRICS are pulling ahead of the Hare as he runs screaming off the proverbial cliff bouncing off rocks as he falls into the pits of fire.

Maybe the West thinks they are more like Looney Tunes Wile. E Coyote who miraculously recovers every catastrophe in order to once again chase the Road Runner, The BRICS, beep-beep.   But that’s just a cartoon…   RIGHT?

Federal Reserve Raises Rate TO Initiate Economic Depression

Posted on by Helena

Once again, the Federal Reserve has raised the funds rate which now stands at 4% with the caveat that they will likely give us a Christmas present before a new midterm administration says NO!   The idea is to damage our economy to such an extent no matter who is in Washington, unraveling the mess could take a decade.  

Despite all the Fed rate raises YTD, inflation rampages onward and upward!     How can that be?    Aren’t the two intertwined as the Fed would have us believe?   Shouldn’t inflation slow as they manufacture a recession?

Quick answer – NO.

A manufactured war, a manufactured supply chain sloth, a manufactured recession, a manufactured Economy.
IF the federal reserve manufactured interest rate and market manipulations actually ‘worked’ technically, we would never have a recession or a boom – because those extremes are exactly what they claim they Deter.   It is no different than doctors prescribing pharma meds with the claim it will ‘deter’ the ailment, not fix it. Only to create 10 more ailments.

That would be The Federal Reserve.

The claim is that the raised rates will slow inflation – and a recession is the inevitable side effect.   GOSH – sorry… 

There have been 48 recessions since 1777.   But economic statistics were not even compiled until after WWII – so technically, data before WWII is cherry picked to fit into a preconceived agenda.   According to rewritten history, the cause of the Great Depression that lasted 12 years was ‘caused by the stock market crash’.   Which has about as much depth of critical thinking as the notion that all life on earth evolved from a single cell slug.   Including every plant and animal.

The powers that be have worked tirelessly to bring about a global RESET for centuries.   The means have typically been war.

HISTORY:
After WWI, the German Reich was required to pay remunerations.   In 1929, they reneged.   They couldn’t make payment on their debt for causing WWI.   The youth market did not believe they should be saddled with the debt of their fathers.   Stalin called on the Stalinist Party of Germany to renounce the reparation payment – and all hell broke loose. The Weimar Republic attempted to annul the reparations in total.   US stock market – collapsed.

Initially, recessions in the US were called, “Panics”.   They were caused by credit, speculation and war. Since the Great Depression – we have had no less than 14 Recessions.   Obviously the Federal Reserve has had absolutely NO impact in preventing anything.  

In fact, they would appear to be more of an aggravator than a deterrent.

During these continued Panics or Recessions, the Federal Reserve helped to initiate GDP decline, Unemployment, and massive inflation – all within the auspices of Government Control.

The Great Recession of 2007 is said to be caused by the US via the Housing Bubble which rippled into an oil and food shortage ‘somehow’ and is described as causing a vast global depression.   WHY a housing bubble would cause a scarcity of oil and food across the globe is not addressed.  BUT it is offered as an explanation WITHOUT any critical thought.

What it does reveal is the manufactured crises that

then creates an arena for the federal reserve to come into the fray as some sort of cartoon hero.  

Today, we are privileged to be the victims of a manufactured Pandemic which was blamed for the manufactured supply chain debauchery, which has thus supposedly resulted in shortages of food, gas and everything.   So the Powers instituted the Band-aide approach to their bleeding artery wound.

What is interesting is the fact that in each of these situations, the end result that the Cabalist Cult hoped to achieve FAILED.   For it has always been about a global governance. A Global Monarchy. A Global EMPIRE!

Lest we forget, Hitler was on the cover of Time Magazine in 1938 as Man of The Year award!   He was a product of the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, Winston Churchill, FDR and Stalin.

And then, like Assad, The Shah, Hussein, he failed – and his failure meant demonization.   Hitler went from King of the Road to an Evil Dictator who was ultimately forced into isolation and obscurity in Argentina,. While many of his Scientists were brought to the US to be installed in various defense organizations. including Lockheed Martin.   TEACH ME was the US mantra!

Each subsequent recession has been more brutal than the last.   Today we have been brought to our knees with inflation rising 300% or more, unemployment tagged to increase by 25% to 35% next year, and a housing collapse.

Having lured investors and buyers into a manufactured market of inflated pricing, the end goal was to subject the weakest links into poverty.   Wherein they are forced into bankruptcy and a personal depressive state.

The Federal Reserve has done absolutely nothing to quell these constant “Panics” and instead is likely responsible, with the help of the same players that have failed over and over to achieve a global RESET.   A Global Empire of Rule over the Peasantry poor.

The GAME is their fever.   Should they actually win – they are likely to become bored and feverous.   Shakespeare coined the phrase, ‘All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.’

For in the end, whoever wins, will be challenged again for a New Game.

Bureau of Labor Statistics: Fudging Numbers or Lying?

Posted on by Helena

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced that the CPI Index for July remained the same – and dropped slightly.   The CPI uses a bread basket of goods to measure increases and decreases.  When I looked up the items in their bread basket – EVERY single one had risen in July except for ‘field grown tomatoes’ which remained flat.   IF every item in the basket experienced price hikes for July, how could the CPI  Inflation rate be lower? 

The items that spiked the most were:  chicken, eggs, coffee and flour.  Oddly, beef is NOT in their metric…   Electricity continued to grind higher while fuel was somewhat lower.   Housing, healthcare & insurance, and Energy are NOT included in the CPI   Likely because those essentials would spike the Actual Inflation Rate to 30% or more.

The omission of these items was not always the case!   Housing costs were omitted in 1983 and food was omitted in 1999.  Therefore, comparing inflation rates to previous periods before 1999 is a worthless analysis.   Once again – moving the goal posts.   But it would reveal how much more intense this Recession is than prior ones – when the rate of inflation is significantly higher when using pre-1999 measures.

Thru May, ADP aligned their labor reporting with the BLS.   But May’s numbers were exceptionally low for May at 128,000 added jobs.   So ADP shut down their operational reporting claiming they needed to amend their algorithms to be more in line with the BLS.   Algorithms.   Because even ADP does NOT use real actual numbers, they input creative accounting methodologies.   And VOILA!  Suddenly BLS reveals stellar numbers for June and July!

BOOM!

Labor Productivity is another stat released by BLS.   The numbers are NOT stellar:   Revised numbers for the 1st quarter are -7.7 and 2nd quarter -4.   Productivity refers to labor.   It means scarce labor has caused business productivity to contract.  It is a key indicator of economic growth.  Or in this case massive negative growth.  For comparison purposes, since 2000, the worst productivity stat was -3.7 in the 1st quarter of 2014.   2022 is MORE than twice the highest number

Another Comparison: During the Jimmy Carter Recession the max negative productivity was -4.7 followed by the next quarter -1.5.

Our Leaders are NOT providing us with the proper information to make informed decisions about our near or far future.   They are not providing us with an honest appraisal.  Dishonesty is the equivalent of lying.  It is this continued lying that has so disenfranchised Americans and Europeans.   It is this lying of all shapes and sizes, in every corner of our lives that has attempted to delude Americans into a complacency that is unprecedented.  Censoring knowledge.   It is now this ‘knowledge’ that they want to censor via our main source – social media conversations.  Conversations that can cross the Atlantic and Pacific.  Conversations that bypass biased media.

With Germany preparing for riots this winter over shortages that could be mitigated, including energy, it is likely they anticipate using deadly vengeance against the protestors.   Instead of providing relief knowing they are pushing their citizens into a death march, they tighten the screws more – no more coal imports from Russia.   Exactly what do the propose to power heat?   Germany is lying to its citizens.

Lying is an Abuse of Power.   It is why JFK, a Democrat, wanted to dismantle the CIA.   Abuse of Power.   But the Abuse has only expanded exponentially.   Nearly all federal departments have gone rogue including:  CIA, FBI, NIH, CDC, and even the Department of Labor which is fudging numbers.   If our labor force has contracted significantly – it would follow that the means for measuring employment needs drastic realignment in order to relay true statistical information.   It is doubtful that this administration has any intention of providing any such insight given the statistics must coordinate with The Great RESET ambitions.

The Economist & YALE Leadership Institute: America Recession Good – Russia Recession Bad

Posted on by Helena

Yale’s Leadership Institute has released a paper that claims Russia’s economy has been dramatically affected by the western sanctions!  Dastardly!   The ‘scholarly paper’ is the first and only for most of the esteemed authors and provides nothing in terms of evidentiary statistics or fact – instead it is a compilation of opinions.   And incredibly Boring!  The bios of the authors are equally inane citing their opposition to Trump, and their promotion of all things “left-leaning”.   True to NGO exceptionalism – their LAST Financial Report is 4 years old – and somehow the IRS doesn’t seem to mind?

Deemed ‘Yale’s Team of Experts’ – these one time claim to fame comedians include:  a first year undergrad student from Poland who hopes to major in economics.   A kid who recently got his bachelor degree majoring in political science.  And a group of kids under the kingship of Jeffrey Sonnenfeld whose stated life purpose is to shake and disrupt Russian civil society so as to impose a coup.

That’s unbiased news fer ya.

But once again Germany’s government controlled/Soros edited DW is espousing this benign article as though it is glorified absolute scientific factoid.   Sonnenfeld, the leader of these misfits is a professor whose mother fled the Bolshevik takeover of Russia in 1920.  Now he claims to be the Director prima facie of nearly every global leader associated with Western Collapse.

So, what is Russia’s economic status?   I don’t know – and neither does any western yahoo.   Economic figures for China, Russia, Africa, South America, etc…  are NOT published.   Instead, organizations such as Yales Leadership Institute, World Bank and the UN routinely create opinion points and produce their version of numbers to propagandize global opinion.  Translation:  they make it up!  Much like the Brandon Handlers declaring that a recession is not a recession, a vaccine is not a vaccine, and science is not absolute – ever – unless it fits their narrative.

When western companies ‘leave’ Russia – it impacts Russia – but it also impacts the bottom line of the company. That in turn lowers share pricing.   Damaging shareholder equity.   Damaging the portfolio’s of Western investors.  And destroying 401-k’s and Pensions.

Starbucks shares have dropped 36% ytd.   Apple ytd down 11.4%.   Netflix down 62% ytd.   Of course multiple factors contributed to their demise, however, from the perspective of shareholders, further purposeful tanking an already listless stock by eliminating sales in Russia is a political catastrophe that could result in lawsuits for mismanagement!

But the point of the unscientific misfit paper is to distract from western countries imminent collapse under the tutelage of the Crown Elites.  Moving the goalposts.   Propagandizing.  Russia’s economy should NOT be our concern as we spiral into a Recession!   A more important conversation would be to ask who will rise from the Dust and Ashes?

The Economist has levied its opinion on a protracted economy by declaring there are “Silver Linings”.  WE SHOULD ALL BE HAPPY WE ARE IN A RECESSION!  For example, FIRST:  higher inflation means consumers are ‘rebalancing their spending’.   Owning lesS;  going without such nonessential commodities as cars, food, homes, clothing, etc…  Whereas retailers stumble and fall into the cataclysm.   Auto manufacturers fold.   And Construction companies go bankrupt.   FUN!

Therefore, in the upside down topsy-turvy world of Alice’s Queen –  an economic downturn is good – but in Russia it is a western success… that should be attributed to Putin’s failure.   WHAT???  

Obviously, The Economist did not get the memo from Yale and shot themselves in the groin ag

In addition, SECOND:   The Economist in line with WEF is calling for the elimination of privately owned automobiles so as to balance ‘green energy’ – as a positive solution to the Recession.   Of course, the ‘happy card’ is pulled and The Economist has declared that they know people are ‘cherrier about their finances’.   I suppose they never really asked anyone – but the statement does support the WeF Happy Factor.  Likely a result of Big Pharma drugs and psychedelic mushrooms!

THIRDLY:   The Economist has decided that the US needs MORE immigrants given a shortfall has contributed to America’s recession.   Apparently, The Economist believes the immigrants all hold valuable degrees in engineering, IT, AI, and are comprised of doctors, nurses, and managers!   AH!

The SPIN.

The Spin’s are running out of steam and have become laughable.   As a result, previous stalwarts such as The Economist, WSJ, NYT, USA Today, NPR, etc… have lost their mojo so to speak.   They have become ‘tabloids’ with all the factual content of The Enquirer.  Desperate, they have lost the chess match and are trying to hold on to their king with three pawns.   But the game is over.  The BRICS will gain traction.   And once again, the Queen’s Gamet of Royalists will be relegated to the basement for rebooting.
