Major Fauci advisor David Morens PLEADS GUILTY for conspiracy to defraud the US, DOJ announces

He was involved in HIDING federal records during COVID.

This is HUGE!

Morens could BLOW THE WHISTLE regarding even more would-be criminal activity by Fauci, if not for the Pardon — which could aid state cases

WNBA prospect and former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom reveals 8 PRO MEN PLAYERS have spoken to him — and will be filing for the WNBA Draft unless the league clarifies what “woman” means for eligibility

Several of these men would make $1M+ MORE in salary by moving from the G-League or Euro to the WNBA.

This is glorious!

FREEDOM: “So far, I’ve spoken with: 2 Former NBA players, 3 G-League players, and 3 European players.”

“They have all said that if the WNBA doesn’t change the rules, they’re ready to join the movement and are considering coming out as women and putting their names in the 2027 WNBA Draft.”

“These ‘men’ could earn an extra $1.35M per year by identifying as women. Rules are rules.”

The WNBA is run by clowns!

“The industrial economy either grinds to a halt, or consumers are about to be hit with the biggest energy pass-through in history.” 

Brent and WTI futures remain below $100 a barrel on Tuesday morning, partly suppressed by governments releasing strategic oil reserves into global markets. But the more serious issue is building downstream, where the Russia-Ukraine war, strikes against energy infrastructure, and continued disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz are fueling the refined-products “perfect storm” we have repeatedly warned about.

Back to diesel, the squeeze is being compounded by depleted inventories, with US diesel reserves near 23-year lows and European stockpiles approaching levels last seen during the 2022 energy crisis.

A chart we published overnight went viral after showing the front-month US diesel crack spread (the NYMEX one-month heating-oil/WTI crack spread) hit a record $102 per barrel.

The Spanish Civil Guard has now confirmed there have been 15 rapes in Ceuta since the mass migrant invasion at the end of July, which has continued to shake Europe. In response, women are now reportedly fleeing the city in greater numbers as sexual violence spreads and scenes from the city portray a government unable to contain the growing chaos on the beaches and streets.

“I need someone to walk me to my front door at 29 years old. I never thought I would have to live through this situation we’re facing – never…“

There is a lot of geopolitical heat out there right now; and markets may get burned by it. Once the geopolitical situation is calmer, or has a clear winner, let’s talk again. Until then, yes, it’s hot out there – and it’s not just the summer sun. Try not to get burned.

Good geopolitical analysis

if you want to destroy not only a nation but a society and a people, to damage it in such a way that it not only cannot recover but has lost sight of what “recovery” even means, the war is waged not with guns or bombs or armies marching; it is waged in the inculcation of perception and there is a very simple line along which this attack can be made to make the annihilation irrevocable. this line is neither economic, nor political, nor even moral, this attack is upstream of all these things and, if successful, renders all those spheres polluted and unrecoverable, likely even unrecognizable.

i speak of the war on normalcy.

whoever controls that commanding height controls the rest.

and so the praxis of civilizational dissolution is so simple that it may be refined into one simple chiasmus:

pathologize everything normal and normalize everything pathological.

…………..

it starts here with defining the normal as illness and illness as normal, the convincing of people that what they feel means they are sick while telling sick people they are stunning and brave (and normal). it’s nothing short of reaching one’s hand down the throat of social standards and mental health, grabbing it by the entrails, and turning it inside out like a sock then calling that “inclusive civilization” then running the classic catch 22 of “anyone who disagrees proves themselves racist/sexist/phobic or whatever other epithet du jour may be” and then you call them a fascist to grant permission to attack them.

and it’s having profound effects.

VERY INTERESTING ….FROM THE CAT MAN

THIS GUY IS SOMETHING ELSE

i have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to someone dedicated to the aiding and abetting of broken people as they inhabit a self-indulgent hallucination.

and if you will not lead or follow, i ask that at least you have the decency to get out of the way.

i will proudly meme them until they cry and then make memes about them crying because i do not give a damn what you (or they) think they’re entitled to.

and civilization is worth defending.

From Quoth the Raven (see paragraphs below):  Long article just posted the intro….I know the long term affect of long end of the yield curve exploding upwards, but I don’t know the short term consequences.  Hold tight as I think the ride is going to get bumpy no matter what you are invested in.  We have not had a raising rate environment since the early 80’s.  I think some or most on this board may remember what that was like.  I don’t think we can go Volker-esque as it would bankrupt the gov’t even faster, but ST rates are definitely staying put as the US Govt can’t afford 2 trillion a year in interest ( 2 year at 5% time 40 trillion in debt).  There will be limited issuance of 30 year UST bonds as Treasury simply can’t afford it.  May you live in interesting times….

Well, that didn’t take long.

Less than 24 hours after I wrote that soaring bond yields in the United States and Japan were one of the major reasons I thought the AI bubble could finally begin breaking later this year and into 2027, global markets woke up Tuesday morning and decided to provide a helpful visual aid.

Japan got smoked, U.S. futures moved lower, bonds sold off across the developed world, oil pushed higher, and the 30 year U.S. Treasury yield punched above 5.3%, reaching its highest level since 2007.

The Nikkei fell roughly 2.5% Tuesday as investors dumped risk assets, while Japan’s benchmark 10 year government bond yield briefly touched 2.945%, its highest level since 1996. The selloff extended further out the Japanese curve as well, with the 30 year JGB yield reaching roughly 4.1%, it’s highest level in history.

Arrest warrant issued for 2024 presidential candidate Jill Stein

A warrant has been issued for Dr. Jill Stein after she failed to appear in court for a 2024 assault charge

These jackasses sold their careers for used-Camry money and still act like they’re the fucking victims.

Sharon Henderson. Karen Bennett. Dexter Sharper. Three goddamn Georgia Democratic lawmakers who lied about fake Covid layoffs, kept filing fraudulent claims while drawing state paychecks, and pocketed $13k–$18k. That’s not corruption. That’s trailer-park level stupidity with a legislative title slapped on it. They risked everything … the badge, the pension, the bullshit “public servant” halo … for less cash than most of them blow on a single weekend in Atlanta. Absolute fucking clowns.

And they’re not alone. The whole bottom of the Democrat machine is crawling with the same cheap grift: New Mexico’s majority leader who stole over a million from kids’ vocational funds, the Kansas City executive trying to sell a government job like it was a used lawnmower, the New Jersey committeewoman forging signatures because she couldn’t even get her own neighbors to sign for free, the Mississippi vice mayor shaking down HVAC contracts in the middle of August heat. These people are not masterminds. They’re mid-tier parasites who thought the system was too soft and too captured to ever come for them.

Here’s the part that should make every higher-up shit their pants: the prosecutors are actually grinding these small-time motherfuckers into dust. When $17k is enough to end a career, the people sitting higher on the ladder have zero protection left. The contractor flips. The deputy flips. The department head flips. And suddenly the big names who thought they were untouchable start hearing footsteps. The machine is cracking from the bottom up, one cheap conviction at a time, and the national media can keep pretending it’s random noise while the counties, the donors, and the candidate pools get poisoned beyond repair.

This isn’t a few bad apples. This is the whole fucking orchard rotting in real time. And the ones at the top should be the most terrified of all

FLOPPING ACES

The speaker argues that Longo has an extensive public connection to Freemasonry, including a 2014 Scottish Rite publication identifying him as “Fratello” (brother), a 2019 appearance at a Grand Oriente d’Italia conference, and a 2022 event where the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite addressed him on camera as “Brother Professor Longo.”

How does this square with the Catholic Church’s long-standing condemnation of Freemasonry?

The discovery was made during the NODSSUM research missions, where scientists used the Nautile submersible to explore a dumping site containing more than 200,000 barrels of radioactive waste discarded during the second half of the 20th century.

Historical records cited by the CNRS show that France alone disposed of more than 46,000 barrels during operations in 1967 and 1969.

Keep surging, build the pipelines and CIRCUMVENT the STRAIT!

“We will continually keep getting better at escorting…we’ll see a positive trend. Iran can’t export ANY OIL right now. The world doesn’t need Iranian oil.”

President Trump doubles down on declaring the Strait of Hormuz a “TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES,” then tells the press to leave the room

Iran hates this.

Q: You’d declare it a territory?

TRUMP: “I like the idea of declaring it a territory. We have total control over the strait.”

“I just think it’s a great idea. We control it!”
