But this audit goes deeper… attempting to get to the root of whether, and to what extent, America’s gold has been compromised.
Mooney writes:
Because there are concerns the U.S. Treasury may have sold, swapped, leased, or otherwise placed encumbrances upon some of America’s gold, H.R. 2559 also requires a full accounting of any and all sales, purchases, disbursements, or receipts; a full accounting of any and all encumbrances, including due to lease, swap, or similar transactions in existence or entered into in the past 15 years; and an analysis of the sufficiency of the measures taken to ensure the physical security of such reserves.
Information about the bill is posted here on the Money Metals website.
Rep. Mooney also has introduced legislation to protect Americans against the Federal Reserve’s steady devaluation of the dollar – legislation to forbid federal taxation on the sale of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins.
In a letter to colleagues seeking support for his Monetary Metals Tax Removal Act, H.R. 1089, Mooney writes: “The Internal Revenue Service does not let taxpayers deduct the staggering capital losses they suffer when holding Federal Reserve Notes over time, so it is unfair to assess a capital gains tax when citizens hold gold and silver to protect them from the Fed’s policy of currency devaluation.”

The debate about opening schools in the fall is heating up , and sadly , it has already become a partisan issue .

The debate about opening schools in the fall is heating up, and sadly, it has already become a partisan issue. Liberals have taken the stance that it is not safe to re-open schools, while blasting conservatives who seem to really want schools to reopen.
Whatever side you’re on in this conversation, if schools do re-open, kids will be subjected to an insane regimen of new distancing and safety measures. In fact, it won’t look like school much at all, but more like a behavioral re-education camp.
Fullerton School District near Anaheim California recently produced a promotional video for parents, demonstrating what the ‘new normal’ will look like for school kids. And while this is, of course, just one school district, still images from the production offer a fair glimpse of what it would take to reopen schools during a pandemic.
The bus ride:
Not surprisingly, many parents are having a hard time with this, and comments to these images on FB give you a solid idea of how uncomfortable all of this makes many people.
“This will take half of the school day.”
“Just rediculous. It will take hours to get to school.”
“No way!”
Some parents applaud the measures in the name of safety, but you can’t argue that measures like these will be insanely difficult to enforce while also completely removing the social aspect, the fun part, of school.
Entering school:
If you have children, you already know how difficult this year has been on them. They’ve been subjected to a form of solitary confinement, and sending them to a medically regimented school will only add to the trauma.
As writer Julian Rose notes:
While the situation is slowly changing, the underlying psychology of ‘obedience to the rules’ is not. This obedience has been taken to a new low as many schools and kindergartens have tried to apply the social distancing regulation to young school children. This has taken the form of chalking out two metre spaced apart circles or squares on the classroom and playground floor and ordering children to stay in them. Young children have been told to sit or stand alone in what amount to individually tailored exclusion zones and psychological prisons. Children, medical advisers say, who are not even at any risk from what is called CV-19. ~Julian Rose
Not sure what that imaging device is, but new rules and regulations will require frequent temperature checks, and continuous collection of data on each student.
Lunch and snack time:
Most people forget just how malleable human beings are. We’re really just moldable little automatons, and subjecting children to this type of rigorous behavior control and monitoring will have lasting effects on the psyche of a whole generation of kids. The worst part is that it conditions them to be obedient and uncritical. They are learning to follow patterns and signs and orders all day long.
I gotta go to the bathroom:
Whatever your take on this situation, whether you believe the virus is dangerous enough to warrant this kind of behavioral management of the individual or not, demanding this level of obedience from children unnatural and psychologically dangerous.

American opposition to 5G is growing. Legislators in Hawaii recently introduced a bill stop 5G deployment until studies show it’s safe. That seems reasonable considering that telecom executives gave U.S. congressional testimony in 2019 that they have NO scientific evidence that 5G is safe.
The majority of scientists worldwide are opposed to deployment until studies show that it’s safe. In fact, cities worldwide AS WELL AS entire countries have taken action to ban, delay, halt, and limit installation as well as issue moratoriums (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. 13, 14).
American opposition to 5G technology is not limited to biological and environmental risks (see 1, 2). Federal agencies warn that it can threaten national security, public safety, and weather forecasting accuracy.
Engineers have also warned that 5G can overheat base stations. So there’s that too.

From Environmental Health Trust:
500 New Antennas Slated for Yellowstone: Trees Chainsawed

A company called AccessParks wants to install 484 antennas within and atop historic lodges (including the iconic Old Faithful Inn), visitor centers, and other buildings to bring broadband throughout most of the park’s developed areas. The plan also entails 39 large antennas and 12 new microwave dishes.

100 Trees Already Removed
PEER’s June 9, 2020 press release details that “one notable aspect of the lead-up to this proposal was the August 2019 removal of 100 trees, in a stand approximately 30 years old located in recommended wilderness, because they reduced signal strength from a passive reflector.”
“Chain-sawing trees to improve wireless reception seems to clash with the very concept of what national parks are for,” stated Pacific PEER Director Jeff Ruch pointing to growing adverse effects on park viewsheds, already marred by electronic clutter. “As the telecom footprint spreads, Yellowstone’s scenery is condemned to death by a thousand antennas and microwave dishes.”

activistpost--2020-07-16--Kansas City Decriminalizes Marijuana Possession Despite Federal Prohibition

KANSAS CITY , Mo .
( July 16 , 2020 ) – Last week , the Kansas City City Council voted to decriminalize marijuana possession and eliminate all penalties in the city despite federal prohibition .
Mayor Quinton Lucas ( D ) , along with four members of the city council , filed the measure last month .
The ordinance repeals a provision in the Kansas City Code of Ordinances setting criminal penalties for marijuana possession .
Under the former law , possession of 35 grams or less of marijuana carried a $ 25 fine , and possession of more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 500 fine .
Under the new law , “ Possession or control of marijuana is not a violation of the Code of Ordinances.
” The council approved the measure by a 9-4 vote .
“ The City doesn ’ t need to be in the marijuana policing business—and we remain focused on helping open doors to new opportunities & empowering people to make a decent living , ” Mayor Lucas said in a tweet .
Marijuana possession for non-medical use remains a criminal offense under Missouri state law , but the new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City and likely change policing priorities .
minimizing marijuana arrests and prosecutions .
Under the federal Controlled Substances Act ( CSA ) passed in 1970 , the federal government maintains complete prohibition of marijuana .
Of course , the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate cannabis within the borders of a state , despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court .
If you doubt this , ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition .
Despite federal prohibition , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2018 .
Decriminalization of marijuana in Kansas City removes yet another layer of laws punishing the possession and use of marijuana in the state , but federal prohibition remains in effect .
This is significant because FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately 99 of 100 marijuana arrests under state , not federal law .
When states stop enforcing marijuana laws , they sweep away most of the basis for 99 percent of marijuana arrests .
Furthermore , figures indicate it would take 40 percent of the DEA ’ s yearly-budget @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the dispensaries in Los Angeles – a single city in a single state .
That doesn ’ t include the cost of prosecution .
The lesson ?
The feds lack the resources to enforce marijuana prohibition without state assistance .
Kansas City joins a growing number of states and localities increasingly ignoring federal prohibition , and nullifying it in practice .
Colorado , Washington state , Oregon and Alaska were the first states to legalize recreational cannabis , and California , Nevada , Maine and Massachusetts joined them after ballot initiatives in favor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michigan followed suit when voters legalized cannabis for general use in 2018 .
Vermont became the first state to legalize marijuana through a legislative act in 2018 .
Illinois followed suit in 2019 .
With 33 states including allowing cannabis for medical use , the feds find themselves in a position where they simply can ’ t enforce prohibition anymore .
The lesson here is pretty straightforward .
When enough people say , ‘ No !
’ to the federal government , and enough states pass laws backing those people up , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do to shove their so-called laws , regulations or mandates down our throats .

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (July 16, 2020) – Last week, the Kansas City City Council voted to decriminalize marijuana possession and eliminate all penalties in the city despite federal prohibition.
Mayor Quinton Lucas (D), along with four members of the city council, filed the measure last month. The ordinance repeals a provision in the Kansas City Code of Ordinances setting criminal penalties for marijuana possession. Under the former law, possession of 35 grams or less of marijuana carried a $25 fine, and possession of more than 35 grams was punishable by a $500 fine. Under the new law, “Possession or control of marijuana is not a violation of the Code of Ordinances.”
The council approved the measure by a 9-4 vote.
“The City doesn’t need to be in the marijuana policing business—and we remain focused on helping open doors to new opportunities & empowering people to make a decent living,” Mayor Lucas said in a tweet.
Marijuana possession for non-medical use remains a criminal offense under Missouri state law, but the new ordinance will disincentivize enforcement efforts in Kansas City and likely change policing priorities. minimizing marijuana arrests and prosecutions.
EFFECT ON FEDERAL PROHIBITION
Under the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) passed in 1970, the federal government maintains complete prohibition of marijuana. Of course, the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate cannabis within the borders of a state, despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court. If you doubt this, ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition.
Despite federal prohibition, Missouri legalized medical marijuana via ballot measure in 2018. Decriminalization of marijuana in Kansas City removes yet another layer of laws punishing the possession and use of marijuana in the state, but federal prohibition remains in effect. This is significant because FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately 99 of 100 marijuana arrests under state, not federal law. When states stop enforcing marijuana laws, they sweep away most of the basis for 99 percent of marijuana arrests.
Furthermore, figures indicate it would take 40 percent of the DEA’s yearly-budget just to investigate and raid all of the dispensaries in Los Angeles – a single city in a single state. That doesn’t include the cost of prosecution. The lesson? The feds lack the resources to enforce marijuana prohibition without state assistance.
A GROWING MOVEMENT
Kansas City joins a growing number of states and localities increasingly ignoring federal prohibition, and nullifying it in practice.
Colorado, Washington state, Oregon and Alaska were the first states to legalize recreational cannabis, and California, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts joined them after ballot initiatives in favor of legalization passed in November 2016. Michigan followed suit when voters legalized cannabis for general use in 2018. Vermont became the first state to legalize marijuana through a legislative act in 2018. Illinois followed suit in 2019.
With 33 states including allowing cannabis for medical use, the feds find themselves in a position where they simply can’t enforce prohibition anymore.
The lesson here is pretty straightforward. When enough people say, ‘No!’ to the federal government, and enough states pass laws backing those people up, there’s not much the feds can do to shove their so-called laws, regulations or mandates down our throats.

activistpost--2020-07-16--DHS Creates “Violent Opportunists” To Justify Police Violence Against Protesters

In a country wracked by police protests , it seems like DHS and their Fusion Centers will stop at nothing to justify their existence .
Not even the recent “ BlueLeaks ” documents exposing how law enforcement and Fusion Centers work together to identify , monitor and arrest peaceful protesters seems to affect them .
It has been at least four years since DHS first introduced the term “ violent extremism ” which in turn led to Fusion Centers creating “ countering violent extremism ” , which has helped them justify the ‘ warrior cop ’ mentality .
Three recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how DHS and Fusion Centers are up to their old tricks of inventing a homegrown enemy that does not actually exist .
A May 30 , 2020 DHS intelligence bulletin titled “ Ongoing Violence , Information Narratives Nationwide Poses Continued Threat to Law Enforcement ” warns that domestic violent extremists are targeting and attacking police officers across the country .
In fact , DHS went out of its way to label anyone attacking police as white supremacist extremists or black supremacist extremists , five separate times .
But a mere two days later @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ Violent Opportunist Tactics Observed During Civil Disturbances 26-31 May ” and just like that DHS invented a new classification for anyone attempting to disrupt law enforcement operations .
DHS claims that violent opportunists use physical barriers , improvised obstacles , screened fences , fireworks , laser pointers , hand tools , projectiles , and Molotov cocktails against law enforcement .
DHS even warns law enforcement to be on the lookout for violent opportunists and anarchist extremists leaving caches of water , milk and medical supplies for protesters .
In the days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may conduct reconnaissance of the planned route and assembly area .
This is mainly to identify sources for weapons or improvised barriers , such as construction sites , retail outlets , pre-staged crowd barriers , or road construction barriers ; stockpile improvised weapons caches ; and establish rally points or escape routes .
On 29 May , suspected anarchist extremists in Louisville , Kentucky , cached weapons and supplies throughout the city prior to engaging in violent acts .
Items included baseball bats , water , milk ( likely as a means to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and other medical supplies .
Think about what this means , DHS is telling police that people caught leaving caches of water , milk or medical supplies should be considered a violent opportunist or anarchist extremist !
On June 2 , 2020 , DHS published one of its most disturbing accusations ever .
The DHS intelligence bulletin title “ Some Violent Opportunists Probably Engaging in Organized Activities ” should make you question its validity with a word like “ probably ” in its heading .
The first paragraph of this intelligence bulletin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ except it isn ’ t .
It is worded in such a way as to fan the flames of anti-police fears amongst law enforcement .
We assess that some violent opportunists have become more emboldened following a series of attacks against law enforcement during the last 24 hours nationwide .
This could lead to an increase in potentially lethal engagements with law enforcement officials as violent opportunists increasingly infiltrate ongoing protest activity .
We also have received an increase in reports on shots fired during lawful protests nationwide—an indicator we associate with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ uncorroborated reports of probably violent opportunists pre-staging improvised weapons at planned protest venues .
DHS admits that reports of so-called violent opportunists pre-staging weapons caches , water , milk and medical supplies are uncorroborated .
In other words it is all a lie .
The latest intelligence bulletin goes on to claim that violent opportunists were responsible for throwing rocks , shooting fireworks and shooting police in two separate incidents .
But then DHS goes back to warning police about uncorroborated fairy tales .
We have several uncorroborated reports of bricks being pre-staged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to media reporting .
Although we have been unable to verify the reporting through official channels , the staging of improvised weapons at planned events is a common tactic used by violent opportunists , and an increase in reports of staging of these materials at separate locations could be indicative that local coordination to infiltrate protests is increasing .

In a country wracked by police protests, it seems like DHS and their Fusion Centers will stop at nothing to justify their existence. Not even the recent “BlueLeaks” documents exposing how law enforcement and Fusion Centers work together to identify, monitor and arrest peaceful protesters seems to affect them.
It has been at least four years since DHS first introduced the term “violent extremism” which in turn led to Fusion Centers creating “countering violent extremism”, which has helped them justify the ‘warrior cop’ mentality.
Three recent DHS intelligence bulletins from Public Intelligence reveal how DHS and Fusion Centers are up to their old tricks of inventing a homegrown enemy that does not actually exist.
A May 30, 2020 DHS intelligence bulletin titled “Ongoing Violence, Information Narratives Nationwide Poses Continued Threat to Law Enforcement” warns that domestic violent extremists are targeting and attacking police officers across the country.
In fact, DHS went out of its way to label anyone attacking police as white supremacist extremists or black supremacist extremists, five separate times.
But a mere two days later, DHS published another intelligence bulletin titled, “Violent Opportunist Tactics Observed During Civil Disturbances 26-31 May” and just like that DHS invented a new classification for anyone attempting to disrupt law enforcement operations.
We assess that violent opportunists will continue to exploit ongoing nationwide lawful protests as a pretext to attempt to disrupt law enforcement operations; target law enforcement personnel, assets, and facilities; and damage public and private property. We have identified multiple tactics currently at play, including the use of weapons, counter-mobility, physical barriers, screening and concealment, intercepted communications, and pre-operational activities.
DHS claims that violent opportunists use physical barriers, improvised obstacles, screened fences, fireworks, laser pointers, hand tools, projectiles, and Molotov cocktails against law enforcement.
DHS even warns law enforcement to be on the lookout for violent opportunists and anarchist extremists leaving caches of water, milk and medical supplies for protesters.
In the days before a planned protest, violent opportunists may conduct reconnaissance of the planned route and assembly area. This is mainly to identify sources for weapons or improvised barriers, such as construction sites, retail outlets, pre-staged crowd barriers, or road construction barriers; stockpile improvised weapons caches; and establish rally points or escape routes. On 29 May, suspected anarchist extremists in Louisville, Kentucky, cached weapons and supplies throughout the city prior to engaging in violent acts. Items included baseball bats, water, milk (likely as a means to counteract the effects of tear gas), and other medical supplies.
Think about what this means, DHS is telling police that people caught leaving caches of water, milk or medical supplies should be considered a violent opportunist or anarchist extremist!
On June 2, 2020, DHS published one of its most disturbing accusations ever.
The DHS intelligence bulletin title “Some Violent Opportunists Probably Engaging in Organized Activities” should make you question its validity with a word like “probably” in its heading.
The first paragraph of this intelligence bulletin reads like a modern-day fairy tale, except it isn’t. It is worded in such a way as to fan the flames of anti-police fears amongst law enforcement.

This could lead to an increase in potentially lethal engagements with law enforcement officials as violent opportunists increasingly infiltrate ongoing protest activity. We also have received an increase in reports on shots fired during lawful protests nationwide—an indicator we associate with the potential for increased violence moving forward—and several uncorroborated reports of probably violent opportunists pre-staging improvised weapons at planned protest venues.
DHS admits that reports of so-called violent opportunists pre-staging weapons caches, water, milk and medical supplies are uncorroborated. In other words it is all a lie.

We have several uncorroborated reports of bricks being pre-staged at planned protest venues nationwide, according to media reporting. Although we have been unable to verify the reporting through official channels, the staging of improvised weapons at planned events is a common tactic used by violent opportunists, and an increase in reports of staging of these materials at separate locations could be indicative that local coordination to infiltrate protests is increasing. We lack reporting indicating individuals are coordinating violence across multiple jurisdictions.
Sadly, this DHS fairy tale, has a horrific civil rights twist to it.
Police told to look out for suspicious constitutionally protected activities
DHS is instructing police to Be On The Lookout (BOLO) for violent opportunists suspiciously conducting “constitutionally protected activities”.
Some of the observed suspicious behaviors include constitutionally protected activities and should not be reported absent articulable facts and circumstances that supports a reasonable belief the observed behavior is itself, or when taken in context of other activities, is indicative of violent activities.
Below is a brief list of suspicious violent opportunist activities
Monitoring and reporting on law enforcement personnel, communications, and movements during planned protests.
Transition from generic calls for violence to providing specific targeting or operational guidance.
Encouraging or redirecting planned protest activities away from major metropolitan areas to cities and municipalities with fewer law enforcement personnel.
Discovery of banners or other materials used to employ “Black Bloc” tactics for concealing identity or shielding activities from law enforcement scrutiny.
Reports of coordinated reconnaissance of planned protests venues prior to the event.
Taken together, these DHS intelligence bulletins reveal a disturbing new trend in how the Department of Justice plans to justify arresting and charging peaceful protesters.

Summer doldrums? Not for precious metals markets!
In early July, gold and silver each broke out to fresh multi-year highs. The yellow metal is within striking distance of new all-time highs and the headlineworthy figure of $2,000/oz.
The white metal, meanwhile, has a lot of catching up to do. And as it does, the gains in percentage terms could be explosive.
Silver has already packed on 60% since its March panic-selling low. Importantly, it has shown leadership by narrowing its historically large discount to the gold price.
Also showing leadership are the precious metals miners. The notoriously volatile mining sector attracts speculators and smart-money insiders alike. It often serves as a leading indicator for the metals.
Since bottoming in March, the HUI gold mining stock index surged over 90% into the dog days of summer. If gold miners begin to underperform or diverge negatively from the gold price, that would be a warning sign for the gold market. It would suggest a significant pullback is likely coming.
So far since the March lows for miners and precious metals, we have not seen any such warning signs.
Risks to Fed-Fueled Bull Markets
Of course, there are always risks – both known and unknown – to any bull market advance. Virus risks and political risks heading into election season could drive renewed market volatility.
Will the U.S. stock market be susceptible to another epic plunge by the fall? Possibly.
The Federal Reserve and the rest of the “Plunge Protection Team” will certainly do their best to keep asset markets propped up. At some level, they will almost certainly succeed. There is a strong correlation between growth rates in the Fed’s balance sheet and directional moves in the S&P 500.
The question is: If the Fed prevents a wave of bank failures and municipal bankruptcies while jacking the stock market up to new all-time highs, then at what cost?
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch – not even for Wall Street.
The costs will be paid largely by toilers in the real economy who see their costs of living go up as the real value of their wages falls. The costs will also be paid by savers and bondholders who will earn next to nothing in interest as the real value of their dollardenominated holdings falls.
Inflation Threatens to Heat Up
Inflation rates have the potential to surge in the months ahead, especially if coronavirus-depressed global economic demand recovers.
The Producer Price Index has yet to show any broad rises in wholesale prices.
But disrupted supply chains for a host of commodities and manufactured products are showing signs of stress and instability.
Consumers are feeling the pain of rising food (especially meat and dairy) costs. Pent up demand for discretionary consumer goods could soon trigger price spikes in other categories as well.
Asia and Europe appear to be faring better than the U.S. in terms of limiting the spread of the virus.
Their economies may thus be positioned to recover more strongly.
As U.S. COVID-19 cases continue to rise (even as the case fatality rate falls), even more state-by-state economic (re)lockdowns may occur. That means more calls for economic bailouts and stimulus measures – which, if enacted, would further exacerbate upward pressures on deficits and money printing.
The U.S. dollar is vulnerable to being debased – and possibly even ditched by large foreign holders including China. A bearish outlook for the U.S. dollar implies a bullish case for hard money – gold and silver.

As tyranny continues to march forward, so does censorship. We have seen many people’s entire YouTube channels deleted, removed in an attempt to control the public’s perception of reality, by controlling their access to information.
We have seen Alex Jones, David Icke and many, many others completely removed from the YouTube platform. Regardless of whether or not we agree with what previously banned accounts have said, we must support their right to say it.
That being said, YouTube just deleted Dan Dicks’ entire Press For Truth YouTube channel. In this interview, Spiro is joined by Dan Dicks of Press For Truth to explain what happened in addition to providing his response and possible solution to YouTube’s censorship.

This Is a Financial Extinction Event

The lower reaches of the financial food chain are already dying , and every entity that depended on that layer is doomed .
Though under pressure from climate change , the dinosaurs were still dominant 65 million year ago–until the meteor struck , creating a global “ nuclear winter ” that darkened the atmosphere for months , killing off most of the food chain that the dinosaurs depended on .
( See chart below . )
The ancestors of modern birds were one of the few dinosaur species to survive the extinction event , which took months to play out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and shock wave that killed off dinosaurs globally–it was the “ nuclear winter ” that doomed them to extinction .
As plants withered , the plant-eating dinosaurs expired , depriving the predator dinosaurs of their food supply .
This is a precise analogy for the global economy , which is entering a financial “ nuclear winter ” extinction event .
As I ’ ve been discussing for the past few months , costs are sticky but revenues and profits are on a slippery slope .
Businesses still have all the high fixed costs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the “ nuclear winter ” weakens consumer spending , investment in new capacity , etc .
Despite all the hoopla about a potential vaccine , no vaccine can change four realities : one , consumer sentiment has shifted from confidence to caution and from spending freely to saving .
This is the financial equivalent of “ nuclear winter ” : there is no way to return to the pre-impact environment .
Two , uncertainty can not be dissipated , either .
There are no guarantees a vaccine will be 99 % effective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few months , that it won ’ t have side-effects , etc .
There are also no guarantees that consumers will resume their care-free spending ways as credit tightens , incomes decline , risks emerge and the need for savings becomes more compelling .
Three , consumer behavior and uncertainty have already changed , and so businesses that can not survive on much lower revenues won ’ t last long enough to emerge from the “ nuclear winter ” of uncertainty and a shift in sentiment .
Four , assets based on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now horrendously overvalued , and the repricing of all assets will bring down the predators , i.e .
the banks .
See : 177 Different Ways to Generate Extra Income As I ’ ve noted here before , the top 10 % of households account for almost 50 % of consumer spending .
These households are older , and own the majority of assets –between 80 % and 90 % of stocks , bonds , business equity , rental real estate , etc .
This is the demographic with the most to lose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jamming into crowded venues and cafes , etc .

To a degree few appreciate , the “ recovery ” since 2009 has been dependent on over-spending , over-borrowing and over-speculating : as spending , borrowing and speculation all pull back to what would have been “ normal ” levels two generations ago , the economy collapses because it ’ s become completely dependent on over-spending , over-borrowing and over-speculating .
As consumers and businesses retrench , borrowing declines while defaults and bankruptcies eviscerate bank profits and balance sheets .
As spending declines , businesses with high fixed costs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ together in close quarters , etc . )
can not generate enough revenues to survive .
As the collateral of commercial real estate and profit streams collapse , assets are repriced all down the food chain , reversing the wealth effect : as people feel poorer , they borrow and spend less , creating a feedback loop of lower valuations , lower spending , lower profits , lower borrowing all of which feed back into each other , pushing everything lower .
The lower reaches of the financial food chain are already dying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that layer is doomed : the small business die-off will bring down distributors , banks , landlords , and employment , and as the this layer collapses then the top predators will starve to death as well : Big Tech , healthcare , higher education , tourism , local tax revenues , etc .

This is a financial extinction event , and the Fed ’ s pathetic shamans can ’ t reverse history .

The lower reaches of the financial food chain are already dying, and every entity that depended on that layer is doomed.
Though under pressure from climate change, the dinosaurs were still dominant 65 million year ago–until the meteor struck, creating a global “nuclear winter” that darkened the atmosphere for months, killing off most of the food chain that the dinosaurs depended on. (See chart below.)
The ancestors of modern birds were one of the few dinosaur species to survive the extinction event, which took months to play out.
It wasn’t the impact and shock wave that killed off dinosaurs globally–it was the “nuclear winter” that doomed them to extinction. As plants withered, the plant-eating dinosaurs expired, depriving the predator dinosaurs of their food supply.
This is a precise analogy for the global economy, which is entering a financial “nuclear winter” extinction event. As I’ve been discussing for the past few months, costs are sticky but revenues and profits are on a slippery slope.
Businesses still have all the high fixed costs of 2019 but their revenues are sliding as the “nuclear winter” weakens consumer spending, investment in new capacity, etc.
Despite all the hoopla about a potential vaccine, no vaccine can change four realities: one, consumer sentiment has shifted from confidence to caution and from spending freely to saving. This is the financial equivalent of “nuclear winter”: there is no way to return to the pre-impact environment.
Two, uncertainty cannot be dissipated, either. There are no guarantees a vaccine will be 99% effective, that it will last more than a few months, that it won’t have side-effects, etc. There are also no guarantees that consumers will resume their care-free spending ways as credit tightens, incomes decline, risks emerge and the need for savings becomes more compelling.
Three, consumer behavior and uncertainty have already changed, and so businesses that cannot survive on much lower revenues won’t last long enough to emerge from the “nuclear winter” of uncertainty and a shift in sentiment.
Four, assets based on 2019 revenues, profits and demand are now horrendously overvalued, and the repricing of all assets will bring down the predators, i.e. the banks.
As I’ve noted here before, the top 10% of households account for almost 50% of consumer spending. These households are older, and own the majority of assets –between 80% and 90% of stocks, bonds, business equity, rental real estate, etc. This is the demographic with the most to lose in returning to care-free air travel, jamming into crowded venues and cafes, etc.
This demographic has “been there, done that” and foregoing fine dining, sports events, concerts, cruises, etc. is not much a burden and may actually be a relief.
Meanwhile, the entire food chain of landlords, banks, local government, employees, etc. depends on enterprises returning to 100% of 2019 revenues. As tenants stop paying rent, landlords default on mortgages, sending banks into insolvency, leaving local government with less tax revenues and employees with fewer job prospects.
To a degree few appreciate, the “recovery” since 2009 has been dependent on over-spending, over-borrowing and over-speculating: as spending, borrowing and speculation all pull back to what would have been “normal” levels two generations ago, the economy collapses because it’s become completely dependent on over-spending, over-borrowing and over-speculating.
As consumers and businesses retrench, borrowing declines while defaults and bankruptcies eviscerate bank profits and balance sheets. As spending declines, businesses with high fixed costs and pre-pandemic business models (crowding people together in close quarters, etc.) cannot generate enough revenues to survive. As the collateral of commercial real estate and profit streams collapse, assets are repriced all down the food chain, reversing the wealth effect: as people feel poorer, they borrow and spend less, creating a feedback loop of lower valuations, lower spending, lower profits, lower borrowing all of which feed back into each other, pushing everything lower.
The lower reaches of the financial food chain are already dying, and every entity that depended on that layer is doomed: the small business die-off will bring down distributors, banks, landlords, and employment, and as the this layer collapses then the top predators will starve to death as well: Big Tech, healthcare, higher education, tourism, local tax revenues, etc.
The clouds are spreading and thickening, and the dawn sky is tinted an ominous red. This is a financial extinction event, and the Fed’s pathetic shamans can’t reverse history.

Amazon is one of many companies who has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) to launch satellites and similar vehicles into space despite expert opposition ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ) and increasing safety risks which include a Chinese rocket falling out of the sky AND a SpaceX starship exploding .

Amazon is one of many companies who has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to launch satellites and similar vehicles into space despite expert opposition (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) and increasing safety risks which include a Chinese rocket falling out of the sky AND a SpaceX starship exploding.
The FCC is supposed to protect Americans by regulating the telecom industry. They have been failing miserably at this for many years.
Current FCC Chair, Ajit Pai, has referred to this as “not being heavy handed.” Another example of “not being heavy handed” brought to you by Fierce Wireless:
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai on Friday announced his support for Amazon’s Kuiper constellation, which calls for launching more than 3,000 satellites to provide broadband in the U.S. and across the globe. Amazon detailed plans for the project last year, when it filed its plans for the FCC’s approval. In a tweet, Pai said he shared with his colleagues a proposal to approve, with conditions, the Kuiper application to deploy and operate a non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGS) fixed satellite service (FSS). The chairman didn’t elaborate on what the conditions would be. Bloomberg noted that his request is likely to result in approval in closed-door voting at the agency, where Pai leads the Republican majority. The Kuiper System is designed to use 3,236 satellites operating in 98 orbital planes, at altitudes between 366 and 391 miles. Amazon has said the satellite system would help close the digital divide, providing fixed connectivity to homes, schools, businesses, hospitals, government agencies and first responders, among others.
