Howdy Y'all,

You can SMELL the CRAZY coming from the Economy...

Gold hasn't closed below $1600 in two months...

Silver is ABOVE $32 and shows no real signs of dropping...

The number of MAJOR 'Firms' lay-ing OFF BIG numbers of Employees is Sky-Rocketing...

The Political landscape is a Hell-Scape which will soon be DETONATING in every American's face...further compounding issues in the Economy,

We are NOW fairly close to when the PTB CAN finally execute thier 'Final Solution' to COVER thier tracks after having STOLEN $100 TRILLION. NOW, they are solely awaiting a SUFFICIENT level of Confusion to Reign...then it's 'Sayonnara Suckers!'.

THAT will first be seen in a small way in the Stock Market when those - all of them - abruptly DROP 40%. Thereafter the fWMD (financial Weapon of Mass Destruction) will be triggered, ie, the DERIVATIVES Market WILL IMPLODE, taking the Major indexes to ZERO.

Simultaneously Gold and PM generally will suddenly revalue to 100x what they are now.

HELL IS COMING TO BREAKFAST REALLY SOON...

Be Well, be SMART and be Blessed...EVERYONE,

As always, you’re right on 🎯 JOG! The house of cards is ripe to fall. Each day brings us closer to a day of shaking that most people can't even begin to imagine is possible.

Indeed Beloved Sister!

What most people CANNOT grasp is how thoroughly 'Interconnected' the various 'Markets' ARE...

The WORST, MOST TERRIFYING one IS the 'Derivatives Market'. I haven't done 'a close fly-by' of that lately, but LAST I checked the 'notional value' entwined IN that Market exceeded 3.2 QUADRILLION DOLLARS.

OH FOOK...WHAT?

A Quadrillion is a THOUSAND TRILLION!!!

The GDP of the US is only 19 Trillion,

The GDP of the entire EARTH is only 90 Trillion!!!

THAT is more THAN ENOUGH to vaporize EVERY LAST Market/Currency/IRA/Credit Union...and eveything ELSE on Earth AS WELL.

OH FOOK OH FOOK OH FOOK...

I tink tings are NOT looking GOOD S'enor. SI.

Oh Well we certainly don't get the GOVERNMENT we 'pay for', though it seems we DO get the one we DESERVE...

Be Well, BE SMART...and be Blessed also

Manana Chica...

So true, JOG! It’s a gigantic Jenga game with no winners. 2007-08 was pretty bad, but we are about to see a nasty Leviathan emerge in the markets. NINETY TRILLION is a number so large that it can't be comprehended. Certainly not by the people that are fast asleep and have their heads buried in the sand.

Blessings to you, my friend! 😀

And upon you - AND 'your's' also - My Sister.

Your analysis IS Spot-on and CORRECT.

For many years - since the mid-90's - I knew full-well WHAT the DERIVATIVES MARKET would be used - eventually - FOR. Alas, I have - typically - been unable to SWAY people into achieving an understanding thereof...

There is NO other venue on EARTH in which so MUCH is tied up, not even the FOREX Markets. The figure I quoted previously - now outdated - stood at 3.2 QUADRILLION Dollars last YEAR.

When Congress was - successfully - lobbied in the mid-90's to pull the TEETH out of the Glass-Stegall Act of the 30's, I knew full well that SORROW would ensue, eventually.

Briefly here, Glass-Stegall was a REFLEXIVE response on the part of a (then) still functioning Congress (unlike at present) which codified a notion into LAW.

That notion was simple...

"A Bank IS ONLY a Bank...and NEVER even touches onto BROKERAGE functions."

"A BROKERAGE can NEVER perform ANY function relegated to BANKS. PERIOD."

Today there is NO dividing line between the two...and consequently every dollar you have on deposit ANYWHERE is subject to immediate VAPORIZATION down the Brokerage Rabbit Hole; think MF Global here, just on a scale several millions of times GREATER

Thus, Banks and Brokerages had ZERO overlap...FOREVER. Until the Clinton Congress - effectively - REVOKED the Act.

That was provided not so much for YOUR benefit (inasmuch as I BELIEVE YOU likely to already BE acquainted therewith) as it is to assist EDUCATING others hereabouts who just as likely are NOT suffuciently acquainted with History...

There is STORM coming...a Storm that will SWEEP away everything before it. I hope that at a few will read and hearken to the WARNING which lies above.

I really do...

Be Well Thou my Faithful Sister, be SMART and be BLESSED beyond measure...

Coordinated action by the FED, central banks and HFT friends, sloshing liquidity and trying to keep all up into the US elections till their eyes bleed. They can't wait to take a breath and let it go.

Michael, I have no issue with your observations of the economy. It is bad and getting worse. But, I believe some of the financial stress is being caused by some of the companies. When you don't care about your customers or what they want or need... When you pay no respect to your stockholders... When you take a shot at people's morals, ethics and religion... When you take your orders from Blackrock, the WEF and you hurt everybody by adhering to DEI guidelines, your business will DIE. Disney, Bank of America and many others may be suffering due to the economy, but they are committing suicide by their abrasive poor business practices.

I'm glad I had parents that lived through the Great Depression and my wife's parents lived through World War 2 in the Japanese occupied Philippines. We both learned how to be frugal, a necessary skill in today's economy.

I'm not concerned. We're going home, soon.

We can’t…I have a friend with 5 grown up children that aren’t Christians yet. I sure am praying for those kids.😁🙏

So you are going home soon thus you are not concerned about all these events? Even about all those who will be left behind to experience these events? Do you just not care? When was the last time you shared the gospel with someone? How are you redeeming your short time left?

I share my knowledge and my relationship with Yeshua Messiah daily, often many times a day. I believe that the Lord gives everyone a solid chance to believe and that He will not come to pick us up until that work is concluded. I trust the Lord to know when to do it. Those who decide against Yeshua have earned their place.

Not SOON enough....

The signs are definitely alarming, and if the economy keeps trending this way, things could get really tumultuous. Now more than ever, it’s a good time to focus on preparedness. From power outages to shortages, having the right gear on hand can make all the difference. I’ve been writing about tools that can help in uncertain times, like the Nekteck 21W Solar Charger and a reliable LED spotlight/flashlight. These can be essential for staying connected and safe when the unexpected happens. You can read more in my latest article:

It really seems this election in weeks will be the choke point of many events coming together and when this turns bad I don't think we know exactly what those events will be, there are all sorts of scenarios on how this will go down and I think most of us will say, wow I did not see that coming, but its coming and it's coming fast.

Thanks for sharing this. I really hadn’t thought about stores renting out their space to save/make money. Recently our only grocery store in my area now has a Starbucks now open. I live in an extremely rural area with a large Mennonite community. I can’t see people in this area that would be able to afford their prices. Coffee on main is run by the Mennonite. Wondering how long that contract is with Starbucks. I can tell you the day before Helene decided to come over us they must have had 8:people training for coffee making. We still have close to 1,000 without power. Ingles distribution center is right where those towns disappeared in NC. They can’t restock the store so we are having to drive about 25 minutes to another town for groceries. Good move..Ingles..not looking good for the Star.

Don't worry, your degree in "wokeinology" will always be accepted.

David Bergsland is correct! Jesus is coming to Rapture His church as soon as that second to last soul slides over in THE Lifeboat that is JESUS to make room for the very last one! THEN, we're outta here!
