Mr. Stone… Previously you concluded as follows:
“The timeline of these last days are laid out like a road map on the breakfast table, and I don’t need the distractions of any prophets, other than those that are already contained in scripture. It’s as plain as the nose on my face”.
I would very much like to understand this timeline!

A needed force majeure
Prior to the manufactured covid crisis early 2020, my previous blog theorized that a force majeure would be needed to upend the dollar-based monetary system. Traditionally speaking, government force majeures have historically occurred through war or the costs of fighting war. However, a government coup can be just as effective. Those who usurp government control through a coup d’etat have often repudiated prior outstanding government debts.
In response to the longstanding critics of this current monetary system, I had stated that when it comes to the United States, its force majeure could only be from military loss, and this loss would be the catalyst to create a global monetary and financial system.
My reasoning was straightforward and based on observation. By 2010, quantitative easing (QE) had become generally accepted as an effective means to fund government deficits throughout the world, and investors and economic stakeholders accepted it. Thus, I knew that some sort of manufactured exogenous factor would be needed to create this needed force majeure that would upend the system.
Taken in isolation, none of this means anything about the end times as I often stated that QE was a viable strategy to fund fiscal deficit spending as long as inflation remained low and governments feigned fiscal restraint. If QE was used as intended when Ben Bernanke developed the QE concept, this method of financing budget gaps could have been employed indefinitely.
The horsemen are emerging
Circumstances have changed quite drastically since the manufactured COVID-19 crisis emerged in early 2020. It is now becoming self-evident that the COVID crisis was manufactured to create the circumstances that would provide the catalysts to accelerate humanity towards 2030 and the Great Reset.
Let me explain.
The black horse
As a result of covid, governments around the world no longer seemed to care about practicing fiscal prudence and the central banking cartel was quite happy accommodating the demands of the governments to fuel the covid stimulus plans. Despite evidence to the contrary, the central banks remained willfully nonchalant in estimating the ramifications of the wild fiscal and monetary programs attributed to covid. This unleashed the out-of-control cost of living crisis we are now experiencing.
Unfortunately, for the mass waves of humanity, this cost of living crisis will not abate anytime soon and will most likely drag on for much of the decade. The common man will increasingly be crushed, regardless of where bond yields end up. High bond yields destroy the lives of the many who cannot adjust, while low bond yields create spiraling asset price inflation.
The governments of the developed economies don’t seem to seem to care about reining in their spending. Since the governments are just golem used to subdue the populations, the exploding levels of government debt are clearly directing us towards some sort of fiscal denouement of epic proportions later this decade. The authorities at the top are not stupid and are well aware of what their actions bring.
Those at the very top do not think like you and I do, they want a new system, and are working diligently as we speak to make it a reality.
The pale horse
I have submitted to the reader on many occasions that the global mRNA bioweapon injection campaign that commenced in early 2021 was the releasing of the pale horse from the stables. It is now becoming apparent that the mRNA injections are not safe and effective, nor do they help with overcoming covid. Rather they are a slow kill method of grinding down humanity in preparation for the Great Reset or, as I’ve been saying, the Great Tribulation. The accelerated death and sickness rates have not waned, but rather continue to firm up.
The red horse
A proper identification of the Israelites in the last days affords an eschatological analyst with the proper means to gauge where humanity stands along the timeline to the end.
The Rothschilds and the central banking cartel created the tableau necessary to found the nation state of Israel. To those who study the Bible without the corruption of the Scofield errors and political correctness, it’s clear that the residents of this nation state are not entitled to the name, Israel. Moreover, these people really aren’t the Israelites from the Bible. Thus the true Israelite remnants are living somewhere on this planet, according to the last day promises. There’s only one group of people that fits all of these categories, and when we can accurately determine who these people are, then the end time prophecies all fit together perfectly. This particular race of people is also the one being persecuted by our adversary.
This is how we can blend the OT prophets with those in the NT.
So, what does this mean? I can easily analyze the current global military layout and determine that this upcoming global conflict will be the one referred to throughout the Bible as that great battle in the latter days and the time of Jacob’s trouble. I can easily conclude that the emerging sides of this upcoming conflict mirror the sides described by the Old Testament prophets. This is why I am warning my readers that this manufactured regional war in the Middle East is the beginning of a widening military campaign that will soon engulf the whole world within a few years. This red horse will gallop upon the world and devour peoples and nations by the time it’s over at the end of the decade.
The first man on the white horse
Given all of the manufactured crises that have emerged since early 2020, I submit to you that the world is being set up for a man who will appear to have all the answers. This man is not quite ready yet to appear to the world, but when circumstances become more ostensibly untenable, he will appear on the scene and the world will embrace him. The Judeo-Christian church wIll embrace this man and most Western Christians will side with him and the false Israel.
Let me conclude with one observation. Are the circumstances surrounding endtime events written in stone by Our Creator or are they being manufactured by our adversary on purpose? I submit that it doesn’t matter.
A great awakening?
On another matter, so many of our national and the world’s current problems are the culmination of central banking, strategy, policy and the manner in which money originates. Much of your writings are based upon how to survive a coming reset. Surely it’s coming! No argument there. However, on another vector so to speak, how can one make a difference in the whole scheme of things. How to make a difference by waking up the masses? Many of the original principles of our Republic are already gone – to a slow socialist erosion. I don’t see anything other than to plan for one’s self and family while watching it crumble further or perhaps entirely. Any ideas on effectuating change?
Roger
I think you already answered your question. Indeed, the remnant is too small to affect change on its own. Any person who occupies his or her mind with race, social justice, and equality are doing the work of our enemy, regardless of one’s intent.
The Bible makes it very clear that the masses of humanity will never wake up until the judgment. It is clear that the masses of humanity will fight Jesus and his angels to the bitter end. The two witnesses will appear and the world will hate them. There will be no mass awakening. That is all just false conjecture coming from the compromised alt-media.
How I try to help others is by writing these words, living as Godly an existence as possible, praying several times a day, and planning financially and spiritually for what is now taking place. We are to put it in our hearts that we will need to lay down our lives for our loved ones and friends. This is the important commandment that Jesus tells us. We are to detach from this world, yet work towards well defined goals that will allow us to make it through to the end. Nothing can turn this around under current circumstances and if you try to wake up others they will throw you in the ditch with them and try to ruin your life. I am making my best attempts to leave the multicultural areas and to work more exclusively with my kind of people. I would advise you doing the same.
God bless and Godspeed to all who read these words.
The latest from the Bloomberg’s evening brief…
In one of the biggest turns of the table in Russia’s 2 ½ year war on its neighbor, not only has Ukraine taken a chunk of Russian territory, but it’s accumulating Russian soldiers at a quick pace. Ukrainian forces said they accepted the surrender of the largest single group of Russian fighters since the start of the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion, itself the culmination of eight years of hybrid war by Vladimir Putin. Kyiv has also claimed that its thrust into Russian territory continues to expand.
A Ukrainian Security Service unit operating in Russia’s Kursk region is said to have taken 102 Russian servicemen as prisoners-of-war. Ukraine now controls 444 square miles (1,150 square kilometers) of Russian territory, including 82 villages and towns, since the attack began 10 days ago, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi told President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in a report posted on Zelenskiy’s Telegram channel Thursday. The claims couldn’t be independently verified. —David E. Rovella
Walmart shares are rocking as the disenfranchised and impoverished, as well as the previously wealthy, are flocking to WMT stores. Whoever says there’s an economic collapse or recession doesn’t own WMT shares. Another new ATH this morning.
Shoppers Flock to Walmart, Powering Its Earnings and Sales — WSJ
08/15/24 7:09 AM
U.S. consumers might be spending carefully, but they are still flocking to Walmart stores. The country’s largest retailer posted strong sales and higher profits in its latest quarter, and executives said they don’t see signs of fraying demand.
At a time when businesses and investors are searching a shaky economy for clues about consumer demand, Walmart said Thursday that its U.S. comparable sales, which measures both stores and ecommerce, rose 4.2% in the three-month period ended July 26, a faster pace than in the previous two quarters.
Executives said shoppers are gravitating to deals as well as the convenience of online order pickup and delivery, which led to customer gains, especially among higher-income shoppers. In a sign of confidence, they raised their sales and profit targets for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Market-share gains at Walmart — known for its mammoth stores and low prices — add fuel to the idea that while shoppers are weary about inflation, some are still willing to pay for premium services such as grocery delivery. Walmart even saw a slight pickup in its general-merchandise category — discretionary items such as electronics and home goods – – which have been in decline for 11 quarters.
“We continue to believe that customers are discerning, they are choiceful, they are focusing on essentials versus discretionary items, but we have not seen any incremental fraying of consumer health,” said Walmart Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey in an interview.
Sales were consistent month-to-month in the quarter, Rainey said. Through a long inflationary period, shoppers continue to gravitate to deals, such as buying more store brands, he said, but not more than in recent quarters. Consumers are showing, “I wouldn’t say strength, but lack of weakness,” he said, which is part of why Walmart is raising its estimates for the year.
Walmart’s strong results add to a mixed economic picture. Some U.S. giants, such as Home Depot, McDonald’s and Disney, have sounded warnings about flagging consumer spending after years of pent-up pandemic demand.
Government economic data has shown a recent hiring slowdown and a rise in unemployment. At the same time, inflation has notched a run of cooler readings and mortgage rates haven fallen. Economists widely expect the Federal Reserve to start rate cuts at its next meeting in September, which could spur some spending.

All these new USTs being issued end up on the balance sheets of the wealthiest and most powerful. These entities leverage out and buy up everything of worth, including farmland and houses, and the spending ends up on the balance sheets of WMT and other large firms.
Speaking of debt increasing, and housing costs….do you think that this Harris proposal is part of the issue you describe of the wealthiest and most powerful entities buying up everything of worth including houses?

It is an expansion of a similar $20 billion fund proposed by the Biden administration. In addition, Harris’s coming economic plan will tout the Biden administration’s budget proposal to expand the low-income housing tax credit, which gives tax incentives to developers who build low-income housing.
She will also endorse legislation that would crack down on the use of property-management software that has allegedly been used by landlords to fix apartment rent prices at buildings across the U.S.

Kamala Harris to Unveil Housing Initiatives Aimed at First-Time Buyers
Democratic nominee to address thorny economic issue by calling for more construction, tax incentives

WASHINGTON—Vice President Kamala Harris will call for the construction of 3 million new housing units in her first four years in office, as well as a new tax incentive for companies that build homes for first-time buyers, according to campaign officials.
The initiatives are part of Harris’s emerging economic plan, which she is expected to outline in a speech Friday in Raleigh, N.C. In addition to housing, the address Friday will focus on alleged corporate price gouging and lowering costs for families, aides said. Rising prices have become a point of debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.
Housing is one of the thorniest economic issues facing Harris, the Democratic nominee, with voters naming the cost of rent and high mortgage rates as an increasing concern.
Harris’s new housing proposals build on a series of plans outlined by the Biden administration in recent years. President Biden has previously called for the construction of 2 million new homes.

Biden and Harris, like previous presidents and vice presidents, are limited in their ability to significantly lower housing prices, because housing costs are influenced by interest rates and the supply of and demand for homes. Both factors are largely out of their direct control.
Harris’s plan aims to provide economic incentives to expand housing supply, especially for buyers entering the market for the first time. Tight inventory has helped push home prices to record highs.
The campaign offered few details on its tax incentive for builders, which would require congressional approval. It echoes a proposal put forward by Mark Zandi and Jim Parrott, an economist and a housing finance analyst respectively, who are advising the campaign on the issue.
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS
What is your outlook on Kamala Harris’s agenda? Join the conversation below.
“The basic principle is lower the tax liability of home builders to build affordable homes, and they will build more affordable homes,” said Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics. Zandi said a tax credit would be the “most logical way” of giving builders an incentive to boost supply.
Harris will propose a $40 billion fund to help local governments develop innovative solutions to the lack of housing supply. It is an expansion of a similar $20 billion fund proposed by the Biden administration. In addition, Harris’s coming economic plan will tout the Biden administration’s budget proposal to expand the low-income housing tax credit, which gives tax incentives to developers who build low-income housing.
She will also endorse legislation that would crack down on the use of property-management software that has allegedly been used by landlords to fix apartment rent prices at buildings across the U.S.

Housing is one of the most stubborn costs facing Americans, even as inflation is slowing. Mortgage rates are at the lowest level in more than a year, but they are unlikely to soon return to anywhere near the levels they were at before the Federal Reserve started to raise interest rates in early 2022.
Home-buying affordability dropped last fall to the lowest level since September 1985, and it fell near that level again in June.
The Biden administration has previously called for a new $10,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers and providing as much as $25,000 in down-payment assistance for first-generation home buyers. Biden last month called for legislation that would withhold key tax breaks from landlords who control properties with more than 50 units if they don’t agree to limit rent increases to a maximum of 5%. None of those items are expected to pass in the Republican-controlled House. The administration has also taken several executive actions, including an effort to save homeowners thousands of dollars in closing costs on certain mortgages.
The plan comes after the vice president absorbed criticism for not articulating an economic policy agenda. Since Biden dropped out of the presidential race, Harris’s team of economic advisers has been crafting an economic framework.
As part of her plan, Harris also will call for putting in place within her first 100 days in office a federal ban on alleged corporate price gouging on groceries. If elected, she would direct her administration to scrutinize mergers between large food companies that could raise grocery prices, her campaign said.
The Biden administration announced this week new, lower prices it will pay for 10 prescription drugs, following first-of-their-kind negotiations with pharmaceutical companies. Harris is expected to speak about the issue during her speech Friday.

Just based on reading the words you pasted here, I can’t think of anything more bullish for single-family housing than these proposals. Every dollar that is devoted to the supply and demand dynamic is arbitraged into the housing market.
This only results in higher prices and costs for everyone involved. More regulation? Higher house prices and rents with restricted supply. More affordable housing dollars devoted to building more housing? Ironically, higher house prices. More tax breaks and subsidies? Higher house prices for everybody.
Whenever the government gets involved everyone suffers with higher demand and restricted supply. It doesn’t matter what the purpose is, any new set of regulations only works to restrict supply. Any tax breaks and direct subsidies only work to increase demand. The ultimate victims are the price takers, those who are trying to buy houses and who are renting.
This underlying thesis is the reason why asset prices shine under Democrat regimes. The Democrats extensively front for the common Man, but in reality only truly help the wealthiest and the suppliers. The price takers are punished. This is the whole irony of democrat governments. It’s the Open secret and the reason why so many of the wealthy are Democrats.
Quite often, we can peel back the layers of the onion when it comes to implementing government regulations and we can see that it is the market suppliers who are supporters and who stand to benefit ultimately. But this is only true of the most powerful in each sector. The firms and market suppliers who cannot handle the costly restrictions are run out of business or bought out by the largest firms.
Socialism, by nature, is oligopolistic on every front. We need to keep in mind that socialism is a very inefficient way to manage fiscal affairs and can only be done so through deficit spending. The more multicultural and disparate the population, the more deficit spending that is needed to assuage the fractured population. Ultimately, socialism works to consolidate the wealth and power of the entire economy into the hands of the few. Moreover, the more heterogeneous the population, the less resistance there will be. It’s communism with training wheels.
Thanks for that explanation. Would it follow then, that the policies like this one are the “road to serfdom” leading to the great reset, where their plan is to have us “own nothing and be happy?” Projecting out since covid (and even before), these policies support an intentional consolidation of the wealth where the Walmarts and Blackrocks of the world rule. They have to know exactly what they are doing, especially since 90% of inflation is due to housing costs. The irony is how they claim to advocate for the little man, while they pummel him to the ground.
Socialism and all the other isms were invented by the synagogue bankers who own the central banks. I cannot think of a more seductive road to serfdom than via socialism. It’s softens up the crowds while making them hopelessly dependent on government handouts. All the while, the deficit spending and fiscal deficits that are accrue enable the largest and most powerful economic participants to consolidate their wealth and power over the masses. The Jews synagogue loves socialism and is the preferred way to establish the road to serfdom
Maybe not so much about increasing the cost of housing but a guaranteed long term income stream in favor of huge risky gains. A sure bet for investors? You pointing out the irony of Dems makes perfect sense. To me with so much money and property under some kind of financial management (Blackrock) can they afford to be foolish with other people’s money? It all makes sense. Higher minimum wage and lower housing costs complete with subsidies are the perfect recipe for those who own housing. Lower the cost for developers by providing tax breaks and subsidies (so they can maintain their profits) while providing housing that is otherwise sold at a bargain to those who qualify. It makes me laugh how people still think free market capitalism still exists.
As an investor, I look at all of the benefits of owning a rental property. One of the excellent benefits are those that accrue under the internal revenue code. I look at tax-free exchanges I look at how I’m able to deduct expenses from rental income and I’m able to depreciate properties. Benefits such as these encourage investors to bid higher for this rental real estate as tax breaks and tax credits encourage investors to pay more for real estate. Net income streams rise? Investors pay more for the underlying properties. Tax benefits, credits, subsidies, and such translate into higher prices.
Will the Fed drop 25 or 50 bps. in September? Good data for stocks and all income generating assets….

Thought this article might be of interest. Referring to today’s CPI data, the article claims that housing costs account for 90% of total inflation !?!
https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/08/14/housing-costs-surge-in-july-accounting-for-90-of-total-inflation/
I was looking at the CPI data from the BLS and this article points out the reality. Housing costs are crushing people. Roofs, fencing, HVACs have increased so much. Carpentry and everything else has shot up. The only way to stay in this investment sector is to own SFRs and raise rent when possible.
Yes, seeing what you describe first-hand. Putting a small two story addition on the house is costing as much as the house did to build in its entirety almost 20 years ago. Labor costs are HUGE. Lumber (but not everything else) has gone down almost to what it was before covid (but still way higher than it was 20 years ago due to inflation). And it is nearly impossible to find good people to do the trades, driving up the cast of labor further because the good people know they can charge a lot. The biggest thing is that escalations in pricing in the housing market has caused an increase in building and remodeling costs, and builders and trades people know they can gouge people – it’s a vicious cycle. This addition has been an expensive hassle, and it’s not over… AND, I had to (by necessity) become the general contractor because of the crazy competitive nature of the housing market in my area. Never again will I have a house or an addition built. Should have just moved. It would have been cheaper and less hassle to buy and fix up an existing older structure.
Warren Buffett Still Isn’t a Fan of Bonds. Why He’s Sticking With Stocks and Cash.
The Berkshire Hathaway CEO isn’t buying the argument for bonds just yet.
By Andrew Bary, Barron’s
Aug. 13, 2024 1:08 pm ET
Warren Buffett doesn’t seem to have gotten the message that interest rates are heading lower.
The Berkshire Hathaway CEO continues to maintain minimal bondholdings at the company—a contrast with most property and casualty insurers that keep the bulk of their investments in fixed-income securities.
A conglomerate, Berkshire operates the largest insurance company in the world, including Geico, the auto insurer, and a giant reinsurance business.
Buffett likes cash—particularly U.S. Treasury bills—and stocks, although he has reduced Berkshire’s big equity portfolio with Barron’s estimating sales of Apple stock at around $85 billion this year.
Buffett isn’t heeding the bond experts who’ve been urging investors during 2024 to lock in longer-term yields because short rates—yields on short-term bonds with less than a year to maturity—likely are heading lower and could be around 4% in 2025 from above 5% currently. Bond yields and prices move inversely.
Berkshire held just $16 billion of bonds at the end of the second quarter, against about $271 billion of cash and $285 billion of stocks, according to its recently released 10-Q report. Barron’s is excluding cash at Berkshires railroad and utility operations. The bond portfolio is down from $23 billion at the end of 2023 and most of it is cash-like, with $11 billion maturing in less than a year.
The bulk of the holdings are foreign government bonds, and that may reflect international requirements for some of Berkshire’s overseas insurance businesses.
Buffett hasn’t been a fan of bonds for a long time. He prefers equities, which offer capital-appreciation potential, and cash—mostly risk-free U.S. Treasury bills—which mature within a year. Berkshire held $235 billion of T-bills on June 30.
The CEO was willing to hold cash when short rates were near zero in 2020 and 2021, and Berkshire has benefited as short rates have since risen to more than 5%. The company is now earning well over $10 billion annually on its cash.
Buffett was critical of bond investments in 2020, saying he saw no point in buying 10-year Treasuries at a yield of less than 1%. He also said banks were foolish to have bought hundreds of billions of dollars of mortgage securities at 2% during 2020 and 2021. Those securities are now showing big losses on paper.
Most insurers hold the bulk of their investments in bonds because of regulatory requirements, safety, and less price volatility than stocks. Industry leader Chubb —which Berkshire has a 6% stake in—has about 80% of its investments in bonds, for instance, and other insurers are closer to 90%.
Berkshire doesn’t face the same regulatory requirements because the company’s insurance operations are so overcapitalized. Insurers often generate annual premiums from policies equal to two to three times their capital. Berkshire’s annual insurance premiums are about 30% of its massive capital of $300 billion.
Berkshire keeps plenty of cash to pay claims, and Buffett evidently feels that long-term bond yields aren’t sufficiently appealing relative to cash yields. He may be concerned about the impact on rates from huge federal deficits now running about $2 trillion annually. Berkshire didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Berkshire now has close to a 50/50 allocation of stocks and cash in its roughly $600 billion investment portfolio. That’s not a mix that most financial planners would advise for individual investors. But a mix of stocks and cash can make sense for individuals who like the security of cash, particularly if it gives them staying power to ride out volatility in the stock market.
And even if T-bills’ yields fall to 4% or lower, they would still yield more than inflation, which is now running at close to a 3% rate. And there is always the chance that long-term rates will head back up.
The war spreads….
US approves $20 billion in weapons sales to Israel amid threat of wider Middle East war
WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. has approved $20 billion in arms sales to Israel, including scores of fighter jets and advanced air-to-air missiles, the State Department announced Tuesday.
Congress was notified of the impending sale, which includes more than 50 F-15 fighter jets, Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles, or AMRAAMs, 120 mm tank ammunition and high explosive mortars and tactical vehicles and comes at a time of intense concern that Israel may become involved in a wider Middle East war.
However, the weapons are not expected to get to Israel anytime soon, they are contracts that will take years to fulfill. Much of what is being sold is to help Israel increase its military capability in the long term.
“The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives,” the State Department said in a release on the sale.
The Biden administration has had to balance its continued support for Israel with a growing number of calls from lawmakers and the U.S. public to curb military support there due to the high number of civilian deaths in Gaza. It has curbed one delivery of 2,000-pound weapons amid continued airstrikes by Israel in densely populated civilian areas in Gaza.
The contracts will cover not only the sale of new 50 aircraft to be produced by Boeing. It will also include upgrade kits for Israel to modify its existing fleet of two dozen F-15 fighter jets with new engines and radars, among other upgrades. The jets comprise the biggest portion of the $20 billion in sales with the first deliveries expected in 2029.
Doom scrolling in the end times

It may work out that the other half of my household buys a house in Florida and moves there, while I maintain my portfolio of properties in the VA/MD and buy a property out in a rural Wyoming.
I’ll have a couple of properties left in schvartze town, while most of them will be rented out to white folk. I’ll let a realtor manage my properties while I’ll Doom scroll in the end times in Wyoming.
In 1994 I took a vacation out to Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, and while driving across the Southern tier of Wyoming I had a vision that I saw myself alone slumped over in an old pickup truck with a straw cowboy hat and over jacket. I was rising from the truck up until at least a thousand feet in the air, while looking down and seeing my former self. I was dead but didn’t know why. I didn’t know why I died, but evidently I had died alone in a rural area in Wyoming with the mountains in the distance. The funny thing at the time was that I never owned a pickup, and living in Manhattan, didn’t even own a car. I had never owned a cowboy hat and had no connection to those States.
I suspect the prophecy will come true this decade and that’s where I’ll see my demise. I own an old pickup truck, which I bought in 2017, an old straw cowboy hat, and a crappy old overcoat. Heck, all my clothes look like crap. None of it made sense to me in 1994 but now it’s making more sense now.
Sorry to hear that; will Pray that things can improve with you and your Spouse.
None of us know each other or our circumstances. This could actually be a good outcome depending on your point of view, I live separately from my wife but we are not separated or divorced. It’s a function of the circumstances we are in and the schedule we keep, others don’t understand it but we don’t care about that – we do what works for us.
Maybe relocating to the west is a good idea, judging from this map. What do you make of this? They have heavily microwaved the eastern part of the U.S. for three consecutive nights in April while we were sleeping for a total of 12, 13 and then 14 hours. The video talks about the breakdown of DNA, as well as the interface of microwave and the bioweapons. I’m pretty sure they are up to no good with this.

I can’t wait to leave this planet. The slide and degradation of humanity and my fellow Caucasians have been so demoralizing to observe. Hopefully, it won’t be much longer, but I’m afraid it can get so much worse.
I watch the behavior of folk younger than 35-40 on YouTube and it’s as if I am watching another species of animal. Completely unrecognizable, reprobate, and self-absorbed.
The Great Reset objectives can sail through now. There’s no resistance anymore. The older folk are sick and dying and the younger mixed folk pose no threat to the established order.
Wow, it happened so fast.
Not that I’m an expert in microwave radiation, but from what I can find, the 2.7 – 2.9 GHz is mostly used in airports and likely have been for decades.
The resonant frequency of a water molecule is about 1.4GHZ. Microwave ovens operate at 2.45GHz because that produces the best results for warming food. If a microwave operated at the resonant frequency of water the energy would be absorbed in the water and not produce a desired result. Microwave ovens don’t heat food by putting the water molecule in resonance. They heat it by exciting the water molecule so it creates friction with other molecules that are connected. The 2.45GHz makes the water molecules rotate rather than resonate.
I believe that the goal of a transmitting device is to not have all the power (watts) absorbed by water (in this case) with little effect. The goal is to deliver data most efficiently. The atmosphere is full of water vapor, oxygen, nitrogen and all sorts of other stuff that attenuate RF energy. It’s a well known problem. High frequency does not have a long range but can carry lots of data. Apparently what is potentially harmful is the 2.4GHz internet and mobile phones and the effect it has on what are called miRNA in the brain fatty cells. But you not only need the frequency, but also the power (watts) to penetrate a wall or skull.
To me – right now anyway – it seems this 5G thing is a straw man argument. The real danger is people are hooked and run their entire life on the data it provides. Communication, banking, travel plans, shopping, games, etc… But can it be turned up and become weaponized? How many watts can be put out over a significant range to do any damage? Things that don’t have much of a protective layer might get affected more than people.
Looking at the power supply side of the tower can give a clue. For example: Volts (amps) = watts. Most of the wire used in commercial electrical installations is rated to 600V. 110, 220, 277, 460 are common voltages. Wire gauge size determines how many amps can be delivered. 12 AWG is 20A. 8 AWG is 55A. 2 AWG is 130A. 2/0 is 175A. 460V (175A) is 80,500W (assuming 100% efficiency, which there is no such thing). That’s a radio station operating in KHz or MHz. Not GHz. Is there enough available power to do significant damage at 2.4 GHz on a large scale?
If you move out to Wyoming stay away from Jackson and the grand Teton area. A lot of wealthy out of staters have bought up properties there and settled there. That area is the most left wing part of Wyoming as well. The average cost of a house in Jackson is close to a million dollars.
That sums up the masses in the western world today. A nuke can go off next to them and they only think about texting their friend about the Taylor Swift concert.

Not!
This among other statistics is vindication for my refusing the Covid Clot shot. I have yet to see remorse among those around me who have gotten the shot despite their increasing health problems and getting Covid multiple times.
Gold is telling us something. Gold seems to have persistent upward pressure on it and the other precious metals are not following. Gold is good and its price is the proverbial canary in the coal mine. Not only does gold track inflationary expectations, but it always seems to smell out geopolitical problems and scam elections.
If I were hedging against a formal oligarchal Marxist dictatorship taking over in the states, with a mix breed puppet at the helm, gold will always sniff it out first.
So true. If KamelToe wins, I would go all in on gold. I think the price action of gold is predicting that.
As I have been saying for a few months, we will never see gold below 2,000 again in our lifetimes… or until Christ’s return. The ship of inexpensive gold has sailed.
I always refer to the front month gold futures.
These types of data points tend to be contrarian in nature.
Investors Slash Equity Exposure by the Most Since Covid Pandemic
(Bloomberg) — Investors slashed equity allocations at the sharpest pace since the onset of the Covid pandemic during last week’s bout of market volatility, according to data from Deutsche Bank AG.
Aggregate allocation to stocks is now in the 31st percentile and underweight, strategists including Parag Thatte wrote in a note dated Aug. 9. Just three weeks ago, exposure was at the top of the historical range in the 97th percentile.
The reduction implies a slowdown in corporate earnings to the “low single digits” compared with an 11% increase in the second quarter, the strategists said.
Analysts expect S&P 500 profits to rise 5.3% and 11.3% in the third and fourth quarters respectively, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence.
Worries about a potential US recession have jolted global financial markets, with technology stocks driving the selloff. While the S&P 500 has almost recovered its declines from last week, it remains nearly 6% below a mid-July record high. An index tracking US equity volatility last week hit levels not seen since 2020.
The Deutsche Bank strategists said that systematic funds are likely to face further pressure to reduce exposure if volatility remains elevated, “though their sensitivity to market selloffs has declined.”
After data last week showed a slower-than-feared cooling in the US labor market, attention will be on the key consumer price report on Wednesday.
What are your thoughts on stocks Stone? I use CD’s but my husband wants to get back into the stock market. I kept hearing it would crash so I stayed away.
Hi. Because of QEs success, I have been a proponent of purchasing most income generating assets, and this has included stocks.
My only true apprehension about recommending this for you is because of your apparent risk aversion by emphasizing CDs as your choice.
My concern is that you would be buying stocks high and selling them low in a panic if we get another COVID scam redux.
I normally recommend the average person invest in stocks long term in tax deferred plans like IRAs or 401k’s. If you contribute to such vehicles, I would say to change your contribution percentages for future contributions and gradually shift existing assets into stocks over time.
Personally, I think stocks overall are a little rich, but they continue to escalate in value as the large companies have been taking over the economy and government.
For you, if you are too nervous about owning them, I would stay away at this point and wait for some proverbial shoe to drop like in early 2020.
Warren Buffett isn’t exactly looking like an all pro trader as his huge stock sales in AAPL are most likely 40 points lower on average than what AAPL is trading at right now.
Maybe Buffett wants to line his coffin with all his cash and roll around in it. Perhaps he thinks he can take it to hell with him and please his boss, Satan.
This is what happens when less talented and inferior people take over government. Of course that is done through the power of the synagogue of Satan and their control of the private Central banks. Mayhem and communism are always the result.
Three Farm Dams Collapse in South Africa, Displacing Hundreds
(Bloomberg) — Three farm dams collapsed in South Africa’s Western Cape province, displacing hundreds of people, and the authorities are monitoring a fourth facility for potential failure.
Retention walls on the reservoirs near the town of Malmesbury, which lies 60 kilometers (37 miles) north of Cape Town, burst on Aug. 8 and the deluge of water destroyed properties, vehicles and infrastructure, the Department of Water and Sanitation said on its X account.
The department granted the City of Cape Town permission to build an emergency spillway on the fourth barrage to route overflowing water and lower the risk of its failure. It also sent engineers to the area to help with stabilization efforts.
The Department of Human Settlements has dispatched an emergency housing team to the Swartland municipality to assist families who were forced to abandon their homes, Nocks Seabi, chairman of parliament’s portfolio committee on human settlements, said in a statement.
Dams in the province are currently overflowing after heavy winter rains. Last month, Cape Town, South Africa’s tourism capital, was battered by storms that caused extensive damage to infrastructure and drove thousands of shantytown residents from their homes.
The headline economy data still look good. The current Atlanta Fed GDP estimate is 2.9 percent as of August 08, 2024
The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2024 is 2.9 percent on August 8, unchanged from August 6 after rounding. After this morning’s wholesale trade release from the US Census Bureau, the nowcast of third-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth increased from 2.8 percent to 2.9 percent.
The next GDPNow update is Thursday, August 15. Please see the “Release Dates” tab below for a list of upcoming releases
That man u mentioned that would be popular and seemed to be very good. Have you considered that Jewish guy that has the biggest YouTube channel in the world giving people things, “making miracles” by buying eye surgery those who are blinded, etc? And I read comments and all succumb to this guy without question.
Plus, his YouTube channel is Mr.Beast. thoughts?
I doubt he’ll be, but he will definitely be a big promoter of that man of perdition. It’s interesting that Mr beast is a Jew. I never watched any of his videos but I see his YouTube exposure. I guess that ex-CEO had something to do with it. Yes, she’s the one now burning in hell.
This is something I found just now and it ties in nicely to the topics at hand.
by St Nikolai Velimirovich, translated by Fr Radomir Plavsic and edited by the clergy and monastics of the Serbian Diocese New Gracanica and Midwestern America.
Available for the first time in English, this modern Serbian American saint wrote this remarkable book in 1927, giving a Biblical explanation concerning the calamity of calamities – war.
This important and timely book about the Orthodox understanding of war explains in depth the history of war throughout history and poses key questions such as where is God in war, and why does He allow it to happen? St. Nicholai also gives the reader his prophetic and remarkably accurate vision of World War II. Written in a simple, moving, and clear manner, St. Nicholai puts to rest many anxieties about war and revolution in our day.
About the Author: St Nikolai Velimirovich, the Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Zhicha (1880–1956) was the most influential and the most productive figure in Serbian church life in the twentieth century. In 1946, after spending the war years in the Dachau concentration camp, he came to the United States. He died in 1956 and was canonized in 2003.

WAR AND THE BIBLE – Nikolaj Velimirović
“You’re angry at me because in the book of “”War and the Bible”” I write that God wages wars against the sin of man, just like famine and pestilence.” Everything I wrote, I wrote not according to my own understanding, but according to the Holy Scriptures of God. No human mind can explain the whole sum of that evil and woe that is called in a short word, “war”; neither can my mind; but everything explains and illuminates like a bright sun, the Holy Scriptures of God.
All wars, from the beginning to the end of history, are biblical wars, etc. е. all are dependent on the living, active, and omnipotent will of the Third, Invisible and Omnipotent; all of them originate from sinfulness or both parties, or only one; all operate under a biblical law of cause and end as entrusted to them by the Eternal Infallible Justice.
It is clear from the Holy Revelation of God to whom God grants victory. This is clear and from the example of all wars in the history of mankind if they are considered in the light of the Holy Revelation. The will of God gives victory to those who have the clearest and strongest faith in God and who obeys His law… If no Christian nation repents and returns to Christ – the center of their soul and life – then God will give victory to Asian, non-Christian nations,” these are the opening words of saint Nikolai Srpska to his book “War and the Bible”.
