The Frenzy That Took The Market To Unprecedented Heights Is Completely Gone

A report from the Bozeman Chronicle in Montana. “Marc Parent, a broker with Bozeman Brokers Real Estate who has been in the real estate industry for nearly two decades, said his year started off hot. But when reached last week, Parent said he is about half as busy as he was last year. ‘The faucet has shut off for me,’ Parent said. ‘I feel the biggest thing, the word I would use, is probably urgency. I feel like the sense of urgency has totally stopped.'”

“In a market where the median price of a single-family home went from $459,000 in July of 2019 to $745,000 in July 2022, any sign of a slowdown is notable. ‘That million dollar property which would have, three months ago, had six or seven offers may only have one (offer) in a couple of weeks, and it might not be full price,’ said Arison Antonucci-Burns with Aspire Realty.”

From NBC 26. “‘I had never seen or experienced a real estate market like 2020, 2021 and going into 2022,’ broker Mark Olejniczak said. But recently, Green Bay area brokers like Olejniczak say the market’s been cooling down a bit in Northeast Wisconsin and across the country. ‘Let’s say that a house that came on the market — and we knew we were gonna sell it in that first week — well, maybe now it might take two or three weeks,’ the president of Mark Olejniczak Realty said.”

Arlington Now in Virginia. “This resilience in Arlington is nothing new, it played out in 2008 and has for many decades, but the market is not irrational either. Most of the exuberance we witnessed over the past two years had to slow at some point, and the market does continue to slow now. Open houses are slow, private agent showings are dwindling and sellers continue to make price adjustments to find the current market. Price growth trajectory is predicted to slow significantly for the next 6-9 months and possibly beyond.”

The Denver Post in Colorado. “Home sellers in metro Denver are starting to get squeezed in ways they haven’t felt in a long time, from their listings taking longer to sell, discounts replacing premiums and from buyers making more demands. ‘All of the major statistical categories are pointing to the market slowing down,’ said Andrew Abrahams, chairman of the DMAR Market Trends Committee. Abrams said it is the first time a discount had shown up in the metro Denver market since July 2020.”

Fromm Summit Daily in Colorado. “Real estate transaction percentages have declined from 2021 to 2022, creating a buyer’s market for the first time since 2019. Leah Canfield, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties, said a consequence of high interest rates are less second home purchases because many second-home owners in Summit County are unable to afford their homes without short-term renting them, she added. Canfield reported seeing plenty of interested buyers turn away from Summit County once the possibility of a short-term rental license looked to be out of the question.”

“So what are the effects of these changes in the market? Canfield said, this summer, active sales have increased from last summer, while pending sales have been almost cut in half. ‘So what that means is that people are listing their properties, and they’re sitting on the market,’ Canfield said. The housing stock that is available is not providing more options for the local workforce who may need something more affordable. ‘Because when a house, on average, is $2 million and the homeowner has to rent it for, you know, 10, 15, 20 thousand dollars a month in order to cover their expenses and their mortgage, then it’s not affordable to a local anyways,’ Canfield said. “

From Fortune. “Benchmark home prices in Toronto have fallen for five straight months—the largest decline in five years—by a total of 16% since March. In August alone, the benchmark price for a Toronto home dropped 2.8% to C$1.12 million (around $856,000), according to new data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board. ‘The pandemic may not be over, but the pandemic-era housing boom certainly is,’ wrote Robert Hogue, assistant chief economist at RBC. Canada’s housing correction ‘now runs far and wide. In Toronto and Vancouver, the decline in activity is quickly becoming one of the deepest of the past half a century. Prices are sliding fast, and the exuberance that permeated…is being replaced by fear,’ he wrote.”

“‘The frenzy that took Toronto’s market to unprecedented heights this winter is completely gone. Activity has quieted down to its slowest pace in [over] 13 years, [excluding] the April 2020 lockdown,’ Hogue said.”

From News.com.au in Australia. “A disgruntled tradie who pointed out the shocking state of newly built apartments in Sydney has sparked a pile on of buyers and renters sharing their new build horror stories. Fed-up tiler and TikToker @monkey8u on Wednesday morning exposed shoddy workmanship in a new Sydney apartment complex, something which he and other industry insiders agreed was prevalent. Some social media users duped by off-plan apartment purchases and other dodgy home builds wasted no time making their feelings known.”

“‘It’s been five years since we moved into our duplex, free standing tub has rotted underneath, no grout/silicone, carpets 1cm away from the wall,’ one wrote. ‘ … carpets not tucked under baseboards, dust and debris fall from behind the walls into the gaps and cockroaches come. kitchen sink can’t fit a pot to wash.’ ‘This looks like my place,’ another responded. ‘I live in a brand new build, I took off a 3M hook and it ripped a hole in the gyprock, the walls are like paper – it’s a joke.'”

The Australian Financial Review. “Dah Sing Banking Group’s credit impairment losses rose 161 per cent to $HK305 million ($57 million) in the first half. It cited concerns over the real estate sector in mainland China. HSBC increased its allowance for expected credit losses on loans tied to mainland property by 62 per cent to $US990 million ($1.45 billion) in the six months to June. Hong Kong lenders’ move into mainland China, which started in the 1990s, has accelerated rapidly in the past six years as growth in the city slowed. The strategy gained momentum as Hong Kong’s outlook darkened following the 2019 outbreak of political unrest in the city.”

“An 80-fold increase in these bad loans over a six-month period to June at Postal Savings Bank of China, one of the country’s largest lenders, offers one warning. The rapidly spreading home-owner boycotts on mortgage payments is another. Its share price has dropped 30 per cent since peaking in February.”

The Daily Mail. “The man who jumped to his death from the 18th floor of the famous ‘Jenga’ tower in lower Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood Friday has been identified as a Bed Bath & Beyond executive. Gustavo Arnal, 52, was the Chief Financial Officer of Bed Bath & Beyond, a company that has been going through struggles of late due to high inflation and a sagging economy. The company announced plans to close 150 stores, of its roughly 900, and lay off 20 percent of staff just two days before Arnal’s death. He reportedly sold over 42,000 shares in the company, oft-identified as a ‘meme stock’, for $1million just over two weeks ago.”

“The retailer also announced a plan to raise money by issuing new shares and said it had secured $500 million in new financing — but investors took a dim view of the strategic plan, and shares fell as much as 25 percent in morning trading. Traders on the Reddit forum WallStreetBets, who have cheered the stock in recent weeks, reacted with a mixture of stoicism and despair. ‘I just wanted make money without any effort. why I have to suffer like this? why?’ wrote one user on the forum.”

    I’ll go out on a limb and guess these 2M shacks are old and crappy needing a lot of work. And you need 10-20k a month to make the mortgage?

    1. Don’t truly wealthy people tend to own residences in locales they frequent, and otherwise stay in high end hotels when traveling?

      I have a hard time envisioning renters who fork out north of $10K a month in rent.

    1. And weather in the UK isn’t all that extreme. It rarely gets hot, and winters, while wet and miserable, aren’t all that cold (ok, maybe in Scotland).

      1. I’ve been watching the Joe Blogs YT channel. In today’s video he described charts estimating how long each country can use their natural gas storage to replace Russian supply. It’s not looking good. There is enough stored gas, on average, to heat/power European countries until about mid-Feb. I don’t believe that accounts for a country using coal (lignite) to generate electric power, freeing up some gas for heating homes. Blogs believe that Europe will muddle through somehow.

        Joe Blogs is of the only pundit I’ve seen who hasn’t claimed that the sanctions on Russia backfired. His view is that the sanctions are only starting to kick in. Russia is selling oil to India/China, but at a loss. Russia is losing more money by not selling gas to Europe. And Russian infrastructure won’t last too long without Western technicians or parts to maintain the equipment. For example, Russia is already cannibalizing aircraft for spare parts, and Halliburton/Schlumerger are no longer maintaining the oil and gas wells.

        In other words, Russia won’t really feel the sanctions for another 3-6 months. It’s an unpopular view, but worth considering.

    New York Post — From China to Mexico to NYC: How fentanyl became ‘a weapon of mass destruction’ in the US (9/3/2022):

    “In the dark hours before dawn, there’s no busier place than the Hunts Point produce market in The Bronx, where throngs of chefs, grocers and deli owners jockey each morning to snag the plumpest peaches and leafiest lettuce.

    But the bazaar, which handles as many as 30 million pounds of goods per day and is the largest produce outlet in the nation, also provides perfect cover for the importing of fentanyl, America’s deadliest drug, which smugglers sneak into New York amid boxes of fruits and vegetables, according law-enforcement officials.

    Once fentanyl reaches the market, traffickers move it to nearby apartments where the drug gets chopped up and packaged into small glassine envelopes. The drugs are then sold on the streets of the city — and up and down the East Coast.

    A group of border guards in Texas blasted President Biden last week for not stopping the rampant flow of the dangerous drug into the Lone Star State, with one lawman saying Biden’s inaction has created a “tsunami of death.”

    “It’s quite frankly a tsunami of death that is crashing into the United States over our southern border,” Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner told The Post of the thousands of pounds of the drug smuggled into the US.

    Cartels are taking advantage of the wave of migrants surging over the border, experts said.

    “Ninety percent of our resources are tied up processing immigrants,” said Brandon Judd, president of the national Border Patrol union. “The cartels exploit that border patrol agents are tied up. That means the border is wide open for them.”

    A tsunami of death? Borders wide open?

    The unelected Biden regime is conducting a controlled demolition of this country.

    It’s been a tumultuous year for mainland China’s economy.
    A debt crisis of seismic proportions has brought some of the country’s biggest property developers to their knees, while a spate of Covid-19 lockdowns spanning manufacturing hubs and commercial centres in the summer has hobbled output.

    No one in the financial sector is feeling the pinch more than the small lenders, which account for about a quarter of the country’s total banking assets. This could spell trouble for millions of individual savers, analysts warned.

  18. Epoch Times — Over 50 Biden Administration Employees, 12 US Agencies Involved in Social Media Censorship Push (9/1/2022):

    “More than 50 officials in President Joe Biden’s administration across a dozen agencies have been involved with efforts to pressure Big Tech companies to crack down on alleged misinformation, according to documents released on Aug. 31.

    Senior officials in the U.S. government, including White House lawyer Dana Remus, deputy assistant to the president Rob Flaherty, and onetime White House senior COVID-19 adviser Andy Slavitt, have been in touch with one or more major social media companies to try to get the companies to tighten rules on allegedly false and misleading information on COVID-19, and take action against users who violate the rules, the documents show.”

    COVID “vaccines” are not vaccines, they are deadly poison designed and intended to maim and kill you.’

    “n July 2021, for instance, after Biden said that Facebook was “killing people” by not combating misinformation effectively, an executive at Meta reached out to Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, a Biden appointee, to say that government and Meta teams met after the remarks “to better understand the scope of what the White House expects from us on misinformation going forward.”

    The mRNA gene altering poison is an intentional medical genocide.

    “The same executive later wrote to Murthy saying, “I wanted to make sure you saw the steps we took just this past week to adjust policies on what we are removing with respect to misinformation, as well as steps taken to further address the ‘disinfo dozen,’” including removing pages linked to the group.

    The White House publicly pressured social media companies to take action against a group that officials dubbed the “disinformation dozen,” which a nonprofit claimed were producing the bulk of “anti-vaccine misinformation” on the platforms. Also in July 2021, Murthy said Facebook hadn’t done enough to combat misinformation.”

    The “misinformation” is the New York Times and the Washington Post.

    “Flaherty, director of digital strategy for the White House, told Slavitt and others in April 2021 that White House staff would be briefed by Twitter “on vaccine misinfo,” with the meeting including “ways the White House (and our COVID experts) can partner in product work,” according to one of the messages.

    In another exchange that year, a Department of Treasury official working on “mis, dis, and mal-information” told Meta workers that the deputy Treasury secretary wanted to talk about “potential influence operations.”

    “If there was ever any doubt the federal government was behind censorship of Americans who dared to dissent from official Covid messaging, that doubt has been erased,” Jenin Younes, a lawyer with the New Civil Liberties Alliance who is representing some of the plaintiffs in the case, said in a statement. “The shocking extent of the government’s involvement in silencing Americans, through coercing social-media companies, has now been revealed.”

    Plaintiffs said the massive pressure campaign amounted to a “Censorship Enterprise” because it involved so many officials and agencies.

    The Federalist — Americans Are Paying The Bill For Our Government’s ‘Unwavering Support’ Of Ukraine (9/2/2022):

    “Is there an amount of military aid for Ukraine the U.S. won’t approve? Within the past two weeks alone, the Biden administration has committed nearly $4 billion in security assistance by allocating $3 billion and $775 million in separate packages. The grand total of military aid delivered to Ukraine since President Biden took office in January 2021 is a whopping $13.5 billion, and that number is only set to increase.”

    Extortion, money laundering, and arms trafficking.

    “What is particularly pernicious about the weapons gravy train is the lack of a clear endgame in the conflict itself, an ugly feature of U.S. engagement in proxy wars. When asked how long the war in Ukraine and, by extension, military aid will last, variations of “indefinitely” seem to be the going answers from U.S. leaders.”

    Russia is winning.

    “The latest round of military aid announcements underscores the absence of restraint on the part of U.S. leaders. In the aid announcement on Ukrainian Independence Day, the Department of Defense said the weapons package demonstrates “U.S. commitment to supporting Ukraine over the long term — representing a multi-year investment to build the enduring strength of Ukraine’s Armed Forces.”

    The United States is a bankrupt empire in terminal decline.

    “Further, $3.5 billion in weapons from the nearly $4 billion pot will be made by the U.S. defense industry rather than come from existing U.S. stockpiles — a nice payday and additional job security for the military-industrial complex.

    In response to a question about Americans concerned with the level of spending on Ukraine, President Zelensky said, “As long as we are resisting it [Russian aggression], the integrity of the United States will continue, therefore we are giving our lives for your values and the joint security of the world… Inflation is nothing, Covid is nothing…”

    Zelensky is a war criminal.

    “With all due respect to Zelensky, American families facing skyrocketing living costs have every right to be skeptical of their government’s unrestrained and undirected support of a war in which the U.S. is not a declared participant. Further, Zelensky recently said his country will press on fighting Russia without “any concession or compromise,” a stance that puts the U.S. in an impossible position to suggest any peace negotiations that could end the war.

    3. I haven’t heard the simple question asked…. Who pissed in Vlad’s Cheerios? How come thats never discussed?

      1. The sad fact, according to Taubman, Gorbachev’s biographer, is that apart from encouraging Gorbachev’s reforms, Western leaders did little of substance to bolster Gorbachev’s precarious position, even as Russia’s political and economic foundations disintegrated.

        Yet, if there was little in material aid forthcoming from the West, Gorbachev did secure one assurance — one that now appears uncertain in the haze of historical memory: a pledge that beyond the reunified Germany, the West would not recruit former Soviet territories into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. “Not one inch eastward,” Secretary of State James A. Baker III (along with assurances from a chorus of Western European leaders) is alleged to have stated. (see the discussion of this crucial Cold War denouement, entitled “NATO Expansion: What Gorbachev Heard,” which is part of George Washington University’s National Security Archive, https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early).

        https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/did-the-us-once-promise-not-to-expand-nato-does-that-play-into-the-ukraine-crisis/ar-AATb8oX

        Believing that he was actually speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former U.S. President George W. Bush has been duped by a prankster into admitting that NATO expansion eastward towards Russia had violated a U.S. promise not to do so. “Listen, times change,” Bush says in a video created by the Russian prankster duo known as Vovan and Lexus.

        After “Zelensky” calls Bush “a very, very wise person,” the former U.S. president says he didn’t want Russia to become a member of NATO either, but rather, “I wanted them on the fringe of NATO. I wanted Ukraine in NATO.”

        Bush tells “Zelensky” that “your mission is to destroy as many Russian troops as you can.”

        https://consortiumnews.com/2022/05/20/bush-admits-us-broke-promise-on-nato-expansion/

        Feb 17, 2015

        Kaplan is right that the U.S. has no vital interests at stake in Ukraine, and obviously I agree with him on the futility of arming Ukraine, but this bit about Bush not wanting to expand NATO to include Ukraine is incorrect. Not only did Bush want this, but he actively pushed for it at the last NATO summit of his presidency at Bucharest. It was there that NATO told Ukraine and Georgia that they would eventually become members of the alliance. The summit declaration stated, “We agreed today that these countries will become members of NATO.” It was that promise, among other things, that contributed to the dramatic increase in tensions between Russia and Georgia and the war between them later that year. Had Bush had his way, Ukraine and Georgia would have also both received Membership Action Plans at Bucharest. The New York Times reported at the time.

        Had it not been for the opposition of sane European leaders at the time, Ukraine and Georgia would have been put on track for NATO membership with dangerous consequences for all concerned. In other words, Bush didn’t change his mind after “mulling the pros and cons,” but was prevented from pressing ahead with a reckless policy only because of resistance from our allies in Europe. Bush very much wanted to “amend the list,” but was blocked from doing so. The point here is that it should not be forgotten that just a few years ago the U.S. was eagerly pushing to expand NATO into these countries. This was a consensus view in Washington endorsed by leading members of both parties, including the current president and vice president, and judged in retrospect it was an even more ludicrous and dangerous idea than it seemed at the time.

      2. Who pissed in Vlad’s Cheerios?

        Technically, NATO, I guess. They were getting too close to Pootie’s chest hairs for comfort. Plus I think Pootie wants to reunite the old Soviet space anyway and used NATO’s encroachment as cover. This point was discussed early in the war but the MSM has lost focus on the topic.

        1. Plus I think Pootie wants to reunite the old Soviet space anyway and used NATO’s encroachment as cover.

          Evidence supporting that position? It was certainly a MSM talking point, but I recall Robert Barnes giving examples (Georgia?) showing the opposite.

          1. I don’t have good clear-cut evidence, geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan has described how the old Soviet countries were basically buffer states to seal geographic invasion points toward Moscow. I am guessing — and yeah, it’s a guess — that Putin basically doesn’t want NATO putting bases inside that original perimeter.

          2. Putin basically doesn’t want NATO putting bases inside that original perimeter

            Which was a promise we made, and broke.

            Plus recall the absolute hatred that Leftists have had for years against Russia. In 2016 leftists think tanks were publishing papers that stated Russia could be defeated and conquered.

            As for what is happening in Ukraine, even the left leaning Holy See, which for all practical purposes has been shout out of Orthodox Russia, has said that the West provoked Russia’s invasion.

  22. Taxpayer funded propaganda and lies.

    NPR — Claims of voter fraud, old as the republic, still work as weapons for Trump (9/4/2022):

    “Donald Trump and his followers, who now represent the activist core of the Republican Party, have insisted on making 2022 a do-over of 2020. Their essential argument is not that President Biden has failed or been a bad president, but that he was never legitimately elected president in the first place.”

    The 2020 election was stolen.

    “Trump has in fact this past week demanded he be “reinstated” as the “rightful winner” of the 2020 election or that the election be re-run “immediately” because Facebook had been advised by the FBI not to trust certain stories about Biden’s son, Hunter, during the 2020 campaign.”

    The 2020 election was stolen.

    “Trump continues to insist, after 20 months, that he won an election that he lost by more than 7 million in the popular vote and by 306-232 in the Electoral College. Neither he nor his acolytes have produced any evidence to undermine those totals. But they have eroded confidence in the system and its caretakers to the degree that a majority of Republicans tell pollsters they think the election was “stolen.”

    Eroded confidence in the system? The 2020 election was stolen.

    “Trump has endorsed 159 candidates who are election deniers for state and federal offices this year, and about 80% of them have already won their Republican primaries, according to a survey by The New York Times. A separate survey by The Washington Post found 87 election deniers among candidates for offices that will matter to the vote certification of the next election”

    The New York Times and Washington Post are what President Donald Trump was referring to when he correctly stated that “the media is the enemy of the American people.” The New York Times and Washington Post are the enemy of the American people.

    “”The 2020 election was stolen,” say the MAGA candidates who wear Trump’s favor, adding, “You know it and I know it.” That statement of assurance is usually the only proof offered. And the crowd at the rally roars back its affirmation.”

    Pedo Joe can’t get more than 20 people in a room to listen to his lies. President Trump hosted overflow crowds in Pennsylvania last night.

    “From the standpoint of a fact-checker, there is no evidence of fraud sufficient to support that claim.”

    Lies.

    “After nearly two years of recounts, ballot reviews, expert examinations and court cases, that remains the bottom line.”

    More lies.

    “The 2020 election has been scrubbed and studied as none other in U.S. history, and the consensus conclusion remains that it was run more smoothly and counted more reliably than ever.”

    The 2020 election was stolen.

  24. Blod clots, heart attacks, and strokes.

    NPR — There’s no bad time to get a new COVID booster if you’re eligible, CDC director says (9/2/2022):

    “Americans will now have access to updated COVID booster shots after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signed off on reformulated versions of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines Thursday night.

    Health officials expect another surge of infections this fall and winter, and say the shots — which target the original coronavirus strain as well as the more contagious omicron variant — will help boost peoples’ waning immunity and protect against serious disease and death.”

    Contact your attorney and update your will.

    “These new boosters were tested on mice rather than people, a controversial strategy aimed at saving time”

    All the mice died. All of them.

    “Looking at the data, Walensky says health authorities are confident about how well the vaccines will work and how safe they will be.

    That data includes the 600 million doses of the original vaccine that have been administered across the country with what Walensky calls “an extraordinary safety record.”

    Hundreds of thousands have already died from these poison mRNA injections, and millions more will die.

    “What’s already clear, she adds, is that protection against the virus wanes over time, and that a booster will restore protection against infection, severe disease and death.”

    https://www.npr.org/2022/09/02/1120692856/new-covid-boosters-cdc-walensky

    If you put more of this in your body, you are “boosting” yourself into an early grave.

      2. The new Covid booster shot had no clinical trials at all.

        Long before Covid ever hit, the gene altering technology was a failure because in their trials the animals died.

        So, with the roll out of the Covid vaccine under EUA, this failed technology didn’t have any animals trials and they went fast into human trials. Than they cut the human trials off in three months. The real data showed pages and pages of adverse reactions and deaths, but it was approved by the FDA.
        So, bringing on a new technology vaccine, that had been rejected before because of the animal trial deaths , was a outrage.
        They could of used the old technology of vaccines in response to Covid, but for some reason they wanted this new technology , that the lab animals died , and it wasn’t fit for human consumption.
        One big lab rat expierment on people where they had pre knowledge the animals died.
        IMHO, this is Nuremburg 2.O.
        In spite of overwhelming evidence the lethal vaccines should be pulled from the market, they are campaigning the new booster for the Fall.

    3. A few things:

      1. Only a third of the country got boosters the first time. I don’t see them getting pre-emptively boosted this time. At best, maybe some people will say “show me this wave of infections first and maybe then I’ll think about it.”

      2. I don’t believe there’s going to be a wave. The wave has been happening all summer — just asymptomatically. It doesn’t start and stop with seasons like cold/flu.

      3. If you had COVID previously, you are somewhat protected from being infected from Omicron BA.4/5 (UK data) [source, N.E. Journal of medicine as reported by John Campbell]

      Wuhan-Hu-1 55.7% protection
      Alpha 58.8% protection
      Delta 64.5% protection
      BA.1 / BA.2 76.8% protection

      That’s infection, not symptoms. With those numbers, I’m pretty sure we’re getting close to herd immunity. By now, almost EVERYBODY has been exposed to COVID and got over it, one way or another. Community levels are slowly decreasing nationwide, and that’s with NO non-pharmaceutical interventions (masks etc) to slow-the-spread. BA.5 is simply running out of people to infect. I think we’ll be ok.

  26. Not sure how this one slipped past the editors and got published.

    The Hill — Our narrowing options in Ukraine (9/4/2022):

    “despite this defensive success, Ukraine has been unable to build offensive momentum and force the Russian military to withdraw. The delivery of advanced American artillery, rocket and missile systems has certainly helped Ukraine to strike Russian supply lines and weapons platforms, but its infantry has not been able to muster the numbers required to seize ground defended by Russian forces … a near-term Ukrainian victory in the war is difficult to imagine.”

    There will be no victory.

    “American efforts to strong-arm Putin into retreat by crippling the Russian economy and isolating him on the world stage have sputtered … Russian earnings from energy exports have actually grown thanks to higher oil prices and reluctance outside the West to join sanctions. Putin is persona non grata in the West, but he is hardly a pariah in the rest of the world, as his scheduled attendance at the G-20 summit meeting in Indonesia in November will attest.”

    They don’t need The West.

    “Meanwhile, the economic fallout from the war is landing on the West as well as on Russia. Americans are grappling with higher gasoline and food prices.”

    All wars are bankers’ wars.

    “even with sustained Western support, Ukraine cannot match Russia’s reserves of manpower, munitions and economic resilience in a war of attrition.

    Military escalation in pursuit of a Ukrainian victory would be an enormous gamble. Washington’s large cadre of hawks insists that we should “pull out all the stops by providing Ukraine the means it needs to prevail.

    Those advocating all-out military support for Ukraine presuppose that Putin would accept defeat rather than risk a direct — and possibly nuclear — clash with NATO. If that assumption were proved wrong, the consequences could be catastrophic.”

    Risking a nuclear war to cover up the entrenched, systemic corruption of the Biden crime cartel and unelected globalist stooge Zelensky? Sounds about right.

    “As long as we are unwilling to steer toward a compromise settlement — which, as Kyiv itself proposed early in the war, would have to involve some form of armed neutrality for Ukraine — we face a choice between escalating our involvement and engaging in an endurance contest in which Putin likes his chances. Neither approach is likely to end well for Ukraine or for the United States.”

    Russia is winning.

    The West is a dying civilization.

    1. If you followed the recent counter offensive, it went over like a lead balloon. Russians were able to beat it down with existing troops, didn’t need reinforcements. And they tried the goofy channel offensive again! next to the nuke plant, and got shot up mid-way, retreated. You won’t find this in the media of course but there are good sources on the intertubes. Thousands of mercenaries killed in just the past few days.

      1. If you followed the recent counter offensive, it went over like a lead balloon.

        Per the MSM the Uke’s have been on the verge of defeating the Russians since the war began.

        Anyone remember the “Ghost of Kiev”? He was allegedly a fighter pilot who shot down several Russian planes, until it turned out that the “footage” of the Ghost was from a video game. Much later the Uke’s quietly admitted that the Ghost never existed. Remember how the media slobbered over stories about the Ghost?

  28. Globalist scum media.

    The Atlantic — Fear and Loathing in Pennsylvania (9/4/2022):

    “Donald Trump’s rally on Saturday night was his first major public appearance since the FBI searched his Florida home—and you could tell. A kind of manic, vengeful energy circulated among the throngs of supporters in the blue stadium seats at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Fans wore T-shirts reading YOU RAIDED THE WRONG PRESIDENT and THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, in a reference to President Joe Biden’s speech last week in Philadelphia. The audience of thousands screamed in agreement when Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who’s become a regular warm-up act at these rallies, declared that the FBI had “violated our president’s rights.”

    “There can be no more real example of the very clear threats to American freedom than just a few weeks ago,” the former president said, when “we witnessed one of the most shocking abuses of power we have witnessed from any administration in American history!”

    “We came because of the Mar-a-Lago raid,” Mike Rutherford, a truck driver from East Stroudsburg, told me. He sat near the stage in a folding chair alongside his wife, Pat. “We’re here to support him,” Pat said, nodding. “I can’t believe how brave that man is.”

    “it was Trump’s FBI comments that got the crowd most riled up. “The FBI and the Justice Department have become vicious monsters, controlled by radical-left scoundrels, lawyers, and the media, who tell them what to do,” he told them. Audience members whooped, and a few shouted out “Defund the FBI!”

    Attorney General Merrick Garland is a domestic terrorist.

    “At this point right now, I’m worried about being targeted by the FBI because I’m a Christian, I’m conservative,” Pat Rutherford said. “I know they won’t find anything, but I am going to need a lawyer to prove I am innocent.” The DOJ “is like a militia for the Democrats,” Linda Hess, from Selinsgrove, told me. “I think our First Amendment rights are basically gone as conservatives. I really do.”

    “Stop the Steal” is an expression of a deepening distrust in government and institutions—a mantra to remind its adherents that they, not their political opponents, are the rightful inheritors of America. The phrase is a metaphor, the sociologist Theda Skocpol told me last month, “for the country being taken away from the people who think they should rightfully be setting the tone.”

    After Mastriano had finished speaking, and before Trump took to the stage, an elderly white man stood up behind me and shouted, “Whose country is this?” The people nearby in the bleachers joined him in response: “It’s our country!” Later, Trump affirmed the sentiment. “No matter how big or powerful these corrupt radicals may be, you must never forget that this nation does not belong to them,” he told his supporters. “This nation belongs to you!”

  31. In California they have a Bill up for signing by the Governor that will make it illegal to dispute any Medical narrative from the Health Authority.
    Doctors who dispute the official Narrative will be subject to loss of Medical license and other penalties associated with breaking this new Law.

    Ok, so this is a outrageous attempt to take the First Amendment and make it illegal to dispute the official Narrative of Health Authority.
    This is so 1984 that its astounding.
    You already had bought off fake news and social media censoring any dispute to the ” narrative” , calling it disinformation, but now making it illegal.
    And as a Citizen, if you express dispute to Official Narrative, your also subject to being a law breaker.
    The International Terrorist Cult One World Order Innsurrection didn’t like dispute to their Medical Narratives of safe and effective vaccine, you won’t get Covid. So they are going to make it illegal to dispute the official Health Authority narrative.

    At this point does anyone have question that we the people are under assault by this collusion and infiltration of Global Governments by a Terrorist One World Order, that wants to take all Constitutional protections for their Great Reset agenda.
    Biden speech was confirmation that the full force of Military, FBI etc, will be used to combat extremist fasist Republicans that are enemies of State, in spite of them being at least 72 million.
    The plan to overthrow the US and other Countries by manufactured emergencies like Covid and Climate Change , with control of the fake narratives, is obvious.

    Somehow this terrorist cult thinks it can hide mass slaughter and injury of millions of people and now in California they want to make it unlawful to go against the narrative.
    I’m outraged, but its was to be expected that the International Cult would make it criminal to dispute them.
    Remember, how people were getting tickets or marched off to slammer if they were caught not wearing a mask.
    Do you have any doubts at this point that Citizens of the globe are under assault by this One World Order/ Great Reset take over?

      “White House senior adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms on Sunday said the “hate-filled” MAGA agenda “has no place in a democracy,” echoing President Biden’s primetime address last week in which he labeled the political movement a threat to the U.S.

      Bottoms told ABC’s “This Week” host Martha Raddatz that Biden called out former President Trump and his fierce supporters to highlight the dangers they pose.

      “This MAGA Republican agenda, this hate-filled agenda … that we saw incite violence on our nation’s Capitol has no place in a democracy,” Bottoms said. “And if we are not intentional about calling it out, which is what the president did, then our country, everything that our country is built upon, is in danger.”

      The 2020 election was stolen.

      Trump won.

      1. “The 2020 election was stolen.”

        In 2008, Barack Obama received 69,498,516 votes, in 2012 he received 65,915,795 votes.

        Donald Trump received 74,221,000 votes in the 2020 presidential election.

        For anyone who cares to hazard a guess, how many legal votes do you think Joe Biden actually received in the 2020 presidential election?

        My guess would be Biden received 55,000,000 legal votes.

        What is your guess?

        1. Maybe 30% at best is what I actually think.
          While over a million were showing up at Trump campaign rallies, about 2 thousand or less were showing up for Biden/Harris.
          What a joke Biden hardly campaigned and stayed in his basement.
          While fake news claimed Biden would win by 10% or more , based on their bogus poll, Biden got about 82 million , a number never achieved before in voting history.
          And Bernie Sander went on talk show stating that it will look like trumps winning, but mail in ballots will come in for a Biden victory.
          Isn’t it interesting how these people can predict exactly pandemics ahead of time, exactly how a election will come in , etc.
          In fact, when I heard Bernie Sanders on that talk show, I just knew they were going to rig the election.

            Lawsuit Against Mark Zuckerberg over $500M ‘Dark Money’ Contribution Enabling 2020 Election Fraud

            Attorneys say Zuckerberg’s $500M to influence election evaded campaign contribution limits by using charities

            By Katy Grimes, December 16, 2020 2:07 pm

            Mark Serrano, President of ProActive Communications, announced Wednesday a new lawsuit is to be filed by attorneys at the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, over the $500 million of “dark money” he spent to facilitate election fraud in key battleground states. Serrano said the suit will be filed in the next 24 hours in the District Court of the District of Columbia that covers with Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona and Georgia.

            In an interview on The War Room with Steve Bannon, Serrano said their report at the center of the lawsuit shows that Zuckerberg contributed a total of $500 million to a network of non-profit and “charitable” organizations in the various named states.

            Serrano said Zuckerberg’s millions funded the ecosystem that caused such massive fraud to take place.

  33. Today on Sunday Biden attempts to back peddle on his bizarre Hitler like speech on Thursday.
    Biden said,

    ” MAGA proposals are a threat to the soul of this Country.”

    Could you be more specific Mr President on what you define ” the soul of the Country is ? ?Based on your acts and policies it appears this is what you think the “soul ” .is.

    Open border invasion of US
    Looting tax coffers to transfer wealth to Mega Corporations
    Selling US oil reserves to China
    Mandating expiermental lethal vaccine or you lose your job.
    Civil Rights, Constitution protected, discrimation attack on white race, against all standing law.
    Transgender grooming of young school aged children , against pedo laws.
    Destruction of women’s sports by transgenders
    Treason in transferring Sovereign State powers to UN and WHO, and attempt to promote a “New Liberal Order” takeover of US, which would supersede Constitution .
    Advancing the agenda of Corporate Governance , WEF, a International terrorist group invading the US and globe
    Trying to take the first and second amendment from US citizens.
    Looting tax coffers and promotion of War in Ukraine.
    Tear down of law and order and drug invasion from open borders causing great increase in crime and death.
    Using the full force of the Military and FBI , DOJ to go after Political Opposition.
    Climate Change agenda , with no proof of it being valid , withdrawal of oil , without sustainable replacement , causing extreme deprivation, possible threat of famine and freezing, etc.
    Marxism/fasist ideology on steroids.
    Not equal pay off of student debt.
    Endorsement of discrimination of whites in hiring and firing practices.
    Destruction of small business
    Government genocide
    I could go on and on…
    So , if this is what you say is the Soul of the Nation, that the MAGA group is a threat to, than I would say the MAGA group is trying to save the Nation from a tyranny that knows no bounds, and a evil that is epic.

    1. I didn’t follow the aftermath of the speech closely, but I believe White House officials were walking that speech back as early as Friday morning. But it won’t work this time. It’s one thing to “clarify” some nonsense that Biden says off-the-cuff. It’s quite another to craft a speech, type it into a teleprompter, and construct a blood-red background… and then pretend that “oh we didn’t really mean that.” Oh, yes you did. You and your breakfast tacos.

    1. Yes, I agree that MAGA , is the Soul or voice of the Nation.

      They rigged the election so one of the most compromised, black-mail-able, mentally unfit crook would win, being Biden

      Did they just think that fake news would prop the demented Biden up, and they would just keep him in a bubble , not knowing what he was doing. Did they put a mentally disabled person as a puppet, so he would be blamed . Course they try to shift to Trump blame whenever they can.
      But my point is that they had to have a total puppet with reduced mental capacity.

      1. The 2020 election was stolen.

        And that fact will get posted on this blog, every day. The 2020 election was stolen.

        Joe Biden is not the legitimately elected president of the United States, because the 2020 election was stolen.
