By Wolf Richter for WOLF STREET.
The market capitalization of the five largest stocks combined – the “Giant 5:” Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Facebook – rose to a new record today of $6.18 trillion. Since their combined low point on March 16, their market capitalization has soared by 51%. That’s an increase of $2.1 trillion in a little over three months. Since January 2017, my Giant 5 index has soared by 164% (market cap data via YCharts):
So how big did they get?
The overall stock market capitalization, as measured by the Wilshire 5000 Market Cap Index tracking 3,451 US-listed companies, ticked up to $31.8 trillion, up by 41.6% from its low on March 23.
Today, the “Giant 5” accounted for 19.4% of the total US stock market capitalization, as measured by the Wilshire 5000, a new record. On January 3, 2017, the Giant 5 had accounted for 10% of the Wilshire 5000. In the three months since the crash in March, the share of the Giant 5 has soared from abound 16% to 19.4% today (Wilshire 5000 data via YCharts):
But wait… Performance of Wilshire 5000 without “Giant 5.”
Let’s take the five largest stocks out of the largest stock market in the world, with 3,451 companies, and see what’s left over. What’s left over is now valued at $25.7 trillion. It’s up by 28.4% from the March 23 low, and while that’s till strong for a three-month rally, it’s a far cry from the 51% for the Giant 5.
And here is the thing: All these companies combined, minus the “Giant 5,” are way below their peak in February 2020, and below a whole bunch of other dates before then, and below where they’d first been in at the end of January 2018.

Coronavirus surges in Texas: Houston hospitals at max capacity in 11 days… 5,000 new cases per day… YOUNG people now hit the hardest

( Natural News ) There is a real-world cost for complacency , and with many Texans now foolishly declaring the coronavirus a complete hoax , complacency has set in .
Thanks to that complacency — and recent left-wing Black Lives Matter protests in Texas cities — confirmed covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are rising in Texas at an unprecedented rate .
Most importantly , the rate of infections is exploding in young people .
As the Texas Tribune reports , “ Texans under the age of 30 are testing positive for the new coronavirus at a higher rate than previously seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a recent surge in the number of cases in the state , Gov .
Greg Abbott said during a press conference Tuesday.
” This is Texas… it ’ s not a Democrat-run state that ’ s rigging the numbers to hurt Trump While many prominent conservative and independent media outlets have been reporting the coronavirus to be a “ hoax ” that was attributed to Democrat-run cities like New York , this new explosion of coronavirus infections is taking place in Texas , where the governor ( Abbott ) is a Republican .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ rig the numbers , especially since Abbott is an ally of President Trump ( and Abbott doesn ’ t want the State of Texas to suffer dire economic consequences from a second lockdown ) .
According to media reports , hospitals in Houston are just 11 days away from reaching maximum capacity .
There are already over 4,000 covid-19 patients in Texas hospitals , with nearly 400 new hospitalizations taking place just yesterday .
Texas is now seeing over 5,000 confirmed infections per day , putting it on par with the infections experienced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ March of this year .
According to the Houston Chronicle , by mid-July , Houston ’ s hospitals will be overrun by covid-19 patients : A surge in COVID-19 cases since Memorial Day could set the Houston area on track for a peak of 2,000 daily hospitalizations by mid-July , according to a model from a Baylor College of Medicine epidemiologist .
The region ’ s intensive care units would be overwhelmed by that number of patients , a nearly 50 percent increase from current levels , though thousands of general hospital beds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ All of the good work that we did , shutting down , closing conferences and conventions … we ’ re wiping away the success that we collectively achieved , and the sacrifices that people made in March , April and in May , ” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said .
NYC nurse proves the coronavirus is real… and it was “ weaponized ” by NYC hospitals to infect innocent people The vast majority of independent media readers , of course , dismiss the coronavirus as a “ total hoax , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a coronavirus at all .
Yet that belief was flatly contradicted across the independent media itself over the last two weeks as bombshell stories appeared about a NYC nurse ( Erin Olszewski ) who went public with undercover videos , revealing that hospitals in NYC were putting non-infected patients in the same room as coronavirus-infected patients , causing the infections to spread and kill more people .
Obviously , that can ’ t happen if the coronavirus is a “ hoax ” as is being claimed by many independent and conservative media outlets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carried the story of the NYC nurse but still claim the virus is a hoax ) .
That nurse even made an appearance on Tucker Carlson : The coronavirus can ’ t simultaneously be a hoax and maliciously used to infect patients in NYC .
If the virus isn ’ t real , how did it infect people in NYC hospitals , then ?
According to Worldometers.info , Texas has seen over 125,000 confirmed coronavirus infections , and over 2,250 deaths .
More than 70,000 patients have recovered , and the county worst @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
Yet medical “ authorities ” have lost all credibility by flip-flopping on everything from wearing masks to asymptomatic spread Adding to the confusion in all this is the fact that the entire medical establishment has lost all credibility with an increasing number of America , mostly thanks to the wishy washy flip-flopping on key issues .
For example , in February the U.S .
Surgeon General was demanding that Americans stop buying masks , insisting they didn ’ t work for the general public .
Later , he claimed they magically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the WHO insisted that the coronavirus wasn ’ t transmissible via humans , and in June , the WHO claimed there was near-zero asymptomatic spread of the virus among humans , contradicting the entire logical basis for social distancing and masks .
Dr. Fauci is widely known as a vaccine-pushing huckster , and the CDC is now seen to be nothing more than a fraudulent front for Big Pharma and the vaccine industry .
Even worse , credible evidence has emerged that U.S. hospitals have been deliberately killing patients with covid-19 infections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to collect more money from Medicare .
Thus , when so-called health “ authorities ” claim X number of infections or X number of deaths from covid-19 , many Americans flat-out don ’ t believe them anymore .
And you can ’ t blame them .
Fool me once , shame on you .
Fool me twice , shame on me .
As a result , the medical establishment has lost any moral authority to demand more lockdowns , masks or mandatory vaccines .
Dr. Fauci is the Boy Who Cried Wolf one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all witness the absolute fraud of The Lancet and the medical establishment in their twisted efforts to destroy hydroxychloroquine in order to make sure more patients needlessly suffer and die , we reach the inevitable conclusion that ’ s now inescapable : The medical system cares nothing about public health .
It only cares about profits .
Facts be damned .
And if the situation requires hospitals , doctors and nurses to literally murder patients in cold blood in order to spike the fatality numbers and create more demand for a lucrative Big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exactly what they ’ re all willing to do ( as we ’ ve now seen multiple times ) .
So how do we navigate the medical and media lies in order to protect ourselves without overreacting ?
It ’ s simple : Rely on nutrition and smart immune support .
If you practice good nutritional habits and support your immune function while taking basic precautions — such as wearing a mask in public places — you can reduce your chances of being killed by the coronavirus to near-zero .
No vaccines required @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media won ’ t dare tell the American people to consider vitamin D , zinc , magnesium or vitamin C. They don ’ t want people having the tools to support their own immune function and possibly evade health problems that are being hyped up to amass even more murderous profits for the drug cartels .
In summary , we are now about to see a collision of media lies , conservative complacency , widespread public protests and a genetically engineered biological weapon that ’ s circulating in the wild .
The results @ @ @ @ @ @ @ denying the existence of the virus is not a sensible way to attempt to defeat it .
Anyone telling you the coronavirus is a “ hoax ” is wildly misinformed , of course .
As a reminder , we ’ ve publicly predicted that June and July would be the “ complacency ” months , with a second wave of infections surging back in August .
Perhaps we were too conservatives in our projections ( yet again ) .

This is Texas… it’s not a Democrat-run state that’s rigging the numbers to hurt Trump
While many prominent conservative and independent media outlets have been reporting the coronavirus to be a “hoax” that was attributed to Democrat-run cities like New York, this new explosion of coronavirus infections is taking place in Texas, where the governor (Abbott) is a Republican. There is no reason for Abbott to rig the numbers, especially since Abbott is an ally of President Trump (and Abbott doesn’t want the State of Texas to suffer dire economic consequences from a second lockdown).
According to media reports, hospitals in Houston are just 11 days away from reaching maximum capacity. There are already over 4,000 covid-19 patients in Texas hospitals, with nearly 400 new hospitalizations taking place just yesterday.
Texas is now seeing over 5,000 confirmed infections per day, putting it on par with the infections experienced by the State of New York in March of this year.
Confirmed COVID patients in Texas hospitals went up *381* in just 1 day to 4,092, the 12th record day in a row. Confirmed 5,489 new COVID cases shatters the previous Texas high of 4,430 cases. — Steven Dennis (@StevenTDennis) June 23, 2020
According to the Houston Chronicle, by mid-July, Houston’s hospitals will be overrun by covid-19 patients:
A surge in COVID-19 cases since Memorial Day could set the Houston area on track for a peak of 2,000 daily hospitalizations by mid-July, according to a model from a Baylor College of Medicine epidemiologist.
The region’s intensive care units would be overwhelmed by that number of patients, a nearly 50 percent increase from current levels, though thousands of general hospital beds remain available, said Dr. Chris Amos.
“All of the good work that we did, shutting down, closing conferences and conventions … we’re wiping away the success that we collectively achieved, and the sacrifices that people made in March, April and in May,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said.
NYC nurse proves the coronavirus is real… and it was “weaponized” by NYC hospitals to infect innocent people
The vast majority of independent media readers, of course, dismiss the coronavirus as a “total hoax,” with many now believing there never was a coronavirus at all. Yet that belief was flatly contradicted across the independent media itself over the last two weeks as bombshell stories appeared about a NYC nurse (Erin Olszewski) who went public with undercover videos, revealing that hospitals in NYC were putting non-infected patients in the same room as coronavirus-infected patients, causing the infections to spread and kill more people.
Obviously, that can’t happen if the coronavirus is a “hoax” as is being claimed by many independent and conservative media outlets (many of which, confusingly, carried the story of the NYC nurse but still claim the virus is a hoax).
That nurse even made an appearance on Tucker Carlson:
The coronavirus can’t simultaneously be a hoax and maliciously used to infect patients in NYC. If the virus isn’t real, how did it infect people in NYC hospitals, then?

According to Worldometers.info, Texas has seen over 125,000 confirmed coronavirus infections, and over 2,250 deaths. More than 70,000 patients have recovered, and the county worst hit is Harris county (overlaying Houston).
Yet medical “authorities” have lost all credibility by flip-flopping on everything from wearing masks to asymptomatic spread
Adding to the confusion in all this is the fact that the entire medical establishment has lost all credibility with an increasing number of America, mostly thanks to the wishy washy flip-flopping on key issues. For example, in February the U.S. Surgeon General was demanding that Americans stop buying masks, insisting they didn’t work for the general public. Later, he claimed they magically did work after all.
In January, the WHO insisted that the coronavirus wasn’t transmissible via humans, and in June, the WHO claimed there was near-zero asymptomatic spread of the virus among humans, contradicting the entire logical basis for social distancing and masks.
Dr. Fauci is widely known as a vaccine-pushing huckster, and the CDC is now seen to be nothing more than a fraudulent front for Big Pharma and the vaccine industry. Even worse, credible evidence has emerged that U.S. hospitals have been deliberately killing patients with covid-19 infections and “ventilator euthanasia” in order to collect more money from Medicare.
Thus, when so-called health “authorities” claim X number of infections or X number of deaths from covid-19, many Americans flat-out don’t believe them anymore.
And you can’t blame them. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
As a result, the medical establishment has lost any moral authority to demand more lockdowns, masks or mandatory vaccines. Dr. Fauci is the Boy Who Cried Wolf one too many times, and when we all witness the absolute fraud of The Lancet and the medical establishment in their twisted efforts to destroy hydroxychloroquine in order to make sure more patients needlessly suffer and die, we reach the inevitable conclusion that’s now inescapable:
The medical system cares nothing about public health. It only cares about profits. Facts be damned.
And if the situation requires hospitals, doctors and nurses to literally murder patients in cold blood in order to spike the fatality numbers and create more demand for a lucrative Big Pharma vaccine, then that’s exactly what they’re all willing to do (as we’ve now seen multiple times).
So how do we navigate the medical and media lies in order to protect ourselves without overreacting? It’s simple: Rely on nutrition and smart immune support.
If you practice good nutritional habits and support your immune function while taking basic precautions — such as wearing a mask in public places — you can reduce your chances of being killed by the coronavirus to near-zero. No vaccines required.
Note carefully that the dishonest corporate-run media won’t dare tell the American people to consider vitamin D, zinc, magnesium or vitamin C. They don’t want people having the tools to support their own immune function and possibly evade health problems that are being hyped up to amass even more murderous profits for the drug cartels.
In summary, we are now about to see a collision of media lies, conservative complacency, widespread public protests and a genetically engineered biological weapon that’s circulating in the wild. The results won’t be good, and denying the existence of the virus is not a sensible way to attempt to defeat it.
Anyone telling you the coronavirus is a “hoax” is wildly misinformed, of course. As a reminder, we’ve publicly predicted that June and July would be the “complacency” months, with a second wave of infections surging back in August. Perhaps we were too conservatives in our projections (yet again).


investmentwatchblog--2020-06-24--This Way Lies Madness: The Summer of Hate Meets the Age of Intolerance

Marches , protests , boycotts , sit-ins : these are nonviolent tactics that work .
Looting , vandalism , the destruction of public property , intimidation tactics aimed at eliminating anything that might cause offense to the establishment : these tactics of mobs and bullies may work in the short term , but they will only give rise to greater injustices in the long term .
George Floyd ’ s death sparked the flame of outrage over racial injustice and police brutality , but political correctness is creating a raging inferno that threatens to engulf the nation .
In Boston @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Christopher Columbus .
Protesters in Richmond , Va. , used ropes to topple that city ’ s Columbus statue , spray-painted it , set it on fire and tossed it into a lake .
Columbus ’ crimes against indigenous peoples throughout the Americas are well known .
In San Francisco ’ s Golden Gate Park , protesters tore down a statue of Francis Scott Key , who penned “ The Star-Spangled Banner.
” Key was also a slaveholding lawyer who tried to prosecute abolitionists vocally opposing slavery .
Activists who object to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Elihu Yale , a slave trader , are lobbying to re-name the school .
Students at Harvard University want to re-name Mather House , one of the dorms named after Increase Mather , the college president from 1685 to 1692 and a slave owner .
Administrators at Woodrow Wilson High School in Camden , N.J.—named after the nation ’ s 28th president , who guided the nation through World War I while upholding segregation policies—are now looking for a new name .
In an apparent bid to be more culturally sensitive , Land @ @ @ @ @ @ @ packaging the image of a Native American princess that had been featured on its products for a hundred years .
The distributors of Aunt Jemima Pancake Syrup , Uncle Ben ’ s Rice and Mrs. Butterworth ’ s Syrup have also announced plans to re-brand and re-name their products in an effort to avoid perpetuating racist stereotypes .
Cream of Wheat is considering what to do about the smiling black chef that graces its breakfast porridge ( his visage has been criticized for being stereotypically subservient ) .
Not to be outdone , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ retire the 99-year-old name for its Eskimo Pie frozen confections on a stick because “ Eskimo ” has been denounced as a racist nomenclature used by “ colonizers to Arctic regions to refer to Inuit and Yupik people.
” Gone with the Wind , the Civil War epic that won 10 Academy Awards and has long been considered one of the greatest films of all times , was temporarily pulled from HBOMax ’ s streaming service in response to concerns that it depicts “ ethnic and racial prejudices ” that “ were wrong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ University of Georgia ’ s marching band has removed “ Tara ’ s Theme , ” the opening orchestral theme from Gone with the Wind , from its musical repertoire .
What is the end sum of all these actions ?
What started as a movement to denounce police brutality in the wake of George Floyd ’ s death at the hands of killer cops has become a free-for-all campaign to rid the country of any monument , literal or figurative , to anyone who may have at any time in history expressed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or existed within a racist society .
The police state has got us exactly where it wants us : distracted , distraught and divided .
While protesters topple statues of men with racist pasts who are long dead , unarmed Americans continue to be killed by militarized police trained to shoot first and ask questions later .
While activists use their collective might to pressure corporations to rebrand products in a more racially sensitive fashion , the American police state—aided and abetted by the Corporate State—continues to disproportionately target blacks , Hispanics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ correct censorship is attempting to sanitize the public sphere of words and images that denigrate minorities , it is not doing anything to rid hearts and minds of racism .
As Rod Serling , creator of the Twilight Zone , concluded in the “ Deaths-Head Revisited ” episode : In other words , what we need is more speech , more discourse , and a greater understanding of history and the evils perpetrated in the name of conquest , profit and racial supremacy .
Because if we bury the mistakes of the past @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fail to at least provide context to the past , we risk allowing the government to repeat those past mistakes—rewritten for a new age—and no one will be the wiser .
It has happened already : we have allowed the government strip people of their humanity ; to segregate them into polarized classes ; to treat them as chattel ; to deny them basic human rights ; and to reduce them to figures on a ledger sheet .
Censoring speech—toppling monuments—kowtowing to political correctness—is not the answer to what ails this nation .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ignore the systemic injustices that undergird the words , the disease will spread .
As long as we continue to allow the most controversial issues of our day—gay rights , abortion , race , religion , sexuality , political correctness , police brutality , et al.—to serve as battlegrounds for those who claim to believe in freedom of speech but only when it favors the views and positions they support , we will all eventually lose .
Silencing unpopular viewpoints with which the majority might disagree—whether it ’ s by shouting them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or criminalizing them—only empowers the controllers of the Deep State .
Consider some of the kinds of speech being targeted for censorship or outright elimination .
Offensive , politically incorrect and “ unsafe ” speech : Disguised as tolerance , civility and love , political correctness has resulted in the chilling of free speech and the demonizing of viewpoints that run counter to the cultural elite .
Consequently , college campuses have become hotbeds of student-led censorship , trigger warnings , microaggressions , and “ red light ” speech policies targeting anything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , unsafe or offended .
Bullying , intimidating speech : Warning that “ school bullies become tomorrow ’ s hate crimes defendants , ” the Justice Department has led the way in urging schools to curtail bullying , going so far as to classify “ teasing ” as a form of “ bullying , ” and “ rude ” or “ hurtful ” “ text messages ” as “ cyberbullying.
” Hateful speech : Hate speech—speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes such as gender , ethnic origin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or sexual orientation—is the primary candidate for online censorship .
Corporate internet giants Google , Twitter and Facebook are in the process of determining what kinds of speech will be permitted online and what will be deleted .
Dangerous , anti-government speech : As part of its ongoing war on “ extremism , ” the government partnered with the tech industry to establish a task force to counter online “ propaganda ” by terrorists hoping to recruit support or plan attacks ( the program started under President Obama ) .
In this way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be considered an extremist and will have their content reported to government agencies for further investigation or deleted .
They might even find themselves pulled from their homes , arrested by the police and thrown into a mental hospital for expressing their opposition to government policies , as happened to Marine Brandon Raub .
The police state could not ask for a better citizenry than one that carries out its own censorship .
It ’ s a brilliant ploy , with the added bonus that while the citizenry remains focused on and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re incapable of presenting a united front against the threats posed by the government and its cabal of Constitution-destroying agencies and corporate partners .
The antidote to intolerance is more tolerance .
What this requires is opening the door to more speech not less , even if that speech is offensive to some .
Understanding that freedom for those in the unpopular minority constitutes the ultimate tolerance in a free society , James Madison , the author of the Bill of Rights , fought for a First Amendment that protected the “ minority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even in the face of overwhelming pressure , a minority of one—even one who espouses distasteful viewpoints—would still have the right to speak freely , pray freely , assemble freely , challenge the government freely , and broadcast his views in the media freely .
The First Amendment is a steam valve .
It allows people to speak their minds , air their grievances and contribute to a larger dialogue that hopefully results in a more just world .
When there is no steam valve—when there is no one to hear what the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grows and people become more volatile and desperate to force a conversation .
By bottling up dissent , we have created a pressure cooker of stifled misery and discontent that is now bubbling over and fomenting even more hate , distrust and paranoia among portions of the populace .
By becoming so fearfully polite , careful to avoid offense , and largely unwilling to be labeled intolerant , hateful or closed-minded that we ’ ve eliminated words , phrases and symbols from public discourse , we have entered into an egotistical , insulated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has become regulated speech : to be celebrated when it reflects the values of the majority and tolerated otherwise , unless it moves so far beyond our political , religious and socio-economic comfort zones as to be rendered dangerous and unacceptable .
Protest laws , free speech zones , bubble zones , trespass zones , anti-bullying legislation , zero tolerance policies , hate crime laws and a host of other legalistic maladies dreamed up by politicians and prosecutors ( and championed by those who want to suppress speech with which they might disagree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ freedoms , purportedly for our own good .
On paper—at least according to the U.S. Constitution—we are technically free to speak .
In reality , however , we are only as free to speak as a government official—or corporate entities such as Facebook , Google or YouTube—may allow .
The end result : free speech is no longer free , and injustice persists .
So what we can do to end racial inequality , police brutality , and systemic injustice that does not involve sacrificing free speech on the altar of political correctness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around , easily offended or afraid to cause offense .
Stop allowing the government and its architects to micromanage your life and curtail your freedoms .
Stop being a pawn in someone else ’ s game .
Find your own voice .
Give voice to your own outrage .
Speak truth to power nonviolently .
And throughout it all , love your enemies and put that love into action .
That last point , to love your enemies , is the hardest of all , yet it was the principle that Jesus Christ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your enemies , bless them that curse you , do good to them that hate you , and pray for them that despitefully use you.
” This principle was also at the core of Martin Luther King Jr. ’ s efforts to combat racism and injustice .
In fact , King delivered an entire sermon on what it means to love one ’ s enemies even when they continue to wrong you .
King was not speaking in abstracts .
This was a man who , despite having faced down water cannons , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and prejudice and assassination attempts , still insisted that “ mass non-violent resistance based on the principle of love ” was his best weapon .
The first step in loving one ’ s enemies , says King , is to discover the element of good in them .
“ Within the best of us , there is some evil , and within the worst of us , there is some good .
When we come to see this , we take a different attitude toward individuals .
The person who hates you most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nation that hates you most has some good in it ; even the race that hates you most has some good in it… There is an element of goodness that he can never slough off .
Discover the element of good in your enemy .
And as you seek to hate him , find the center of goodness and place your attention there and you will take a new attitude.
” Second , says King , focus on defeating evil systems , rather than vanquishing individuals caught up in an evil system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Love is understanding , redemptive goodwill for all men , so that you love everybody , because God loves them .
You refuse to do anything that will defeat an individual , because you have agape [ the love of God working in the lives of men ] in your soul .
And here you come to the point that you love the individual who does the evil deed , while hating the deed that the person does .
This is what Jesus means when he says , ‘ Love your enemy.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
When the opportunity presents itself when you can defeat your enemy , you must not do it.
” Third , says Kings , cut off the chain of hate and the chain of evil in the universe with love .
“ If I hit you and you hit me and I hit you back and you hit me back and go on , you see , that goes on ad infinitum .
It just never ends… And that is the tragedy of hate , that it doesn ’ t cut it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of hate and evil in the universe… Men must see that force begets force , hate begets hate , toughness begets toughness .
And it is all a descending spiral , ultimately ending in destruction for all and everybody.
” Fourth , says King , hate ends up in tragic , neurotic responses .
“ Hate at any point is a cancer that gnaws away at the very vital center of your life and your existence .
It is like eroding acid that eats away the best and the objective center of your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because hate destroys the hater as well as the hated.
” Instead , use love to redeem and transform those who would do you harm .
King ’ s conclusion to his sermon is a timeless message , sent through time , to our present age .
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , we are still fighting the triple evils of racism , poverty and militarism .
We are still struggling to find our way in the world dominated by corporate greed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being manipulated into focusing our anger on flawed individuals rather than working to defeat evil establishments .
Sixty-three years later , King ’ s words are still relevant :

by John W. Whitehead
“Violence creates many more social problems than it solves…. If they succumb to the temptation of using violence in their struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and our chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos. Violence isn’t the way.”—Martin Luther King Jr.
Marches, protests, boycotts, sit-ins: these are nonviolent tactics that work.
Looting, vandalism, the destruction of public property, intimidation tactics aimed at eliminating anything that might cause offense to the establishment: these tactics of mobs and bullies may work in the short term, but they will only give rise to greater injustices in the long term.
George Floyd’s death sparked the flame of outrage over racial injustice and police brutality, but political correctness is creating a raging inferno that threatens to engulf the nation.
In Boston, racial justice activists beheaded a statue of Christopher Columbus. Protesters in Richmond, Va., used ropes to topple that city’s Columbus statue, spray-painted it, set it on fire and tossed it into a lake. Columbus’ crimes against indigenous peoples throughout the Americas are well known.
In San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, protesters tore down a statue of Francis Scott Key, who penned “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Key was also a slaveholding lawyer who tried to prosecute abolitionists vocally opposing slavery.
Activists who object to Yale University being named after its founder Elihu Yale, a slave trader, are lobbying to re-name the school.
Students at Harvard University want to re-name Mather House, one of the dorms named after Increase Mather, the college president from 1685 to 1692 and a slave owner.
Administrators at Woodrow Wilson High School in Camden, N.J.—named after the nation’s 28th president, who guided the nation through World War I while upholding segregation policies—are now looking for a new name.
In an apparent bid to be more culturally sensitive, Land O’ Lakes has removed from its packaging the image of a Native American princess that had been featured on its products for a hundred years.
The distributors of Aunt Jemima Pancake Syrup, Uncle Ben’s Rice and Mrs. Butterworth’s Syrup have also announced plans to re-brand and re-name their products in an effort to avoid perpetuating racist stereotypes. Cream of Wheat is considering what to do about the smiling black chef that graces its breakfast porridge (his visage has been criticized for being stereotypically subservient).
Not to be outdone, Dreyer’s Ice Cream plans to retire the 99-year-old name for its Eskimo Pie frozen confections on a stick because “Eskimo” has been denounced as a racist nomenclature used by “colonizers to Arctic regions to refer to Inuit and Yupik people.”
Gone with the Wind, the Civil War epic that won 10 Academy Awards and has long been considered one of the greatest films of all times, was temporarily pulled from HBOMax’s streaming service in response to concerns that it depicts “ethnic and racial prejudices” that “were wrong then and are wrong today.”
The University of Georgia’s marching band has removed “Tara’s Theme,” the opening orchestral theme from Gone with the Wind, from its musical repertoire.
What is the end sum of all these actions?
What started as a movement to denounce police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of killer cops has become a free-for-all campaign to rid the country of any monument, literal or figurative, to anyone who may have at any time in history expressed a racist thought, exhibited racist behavior, or existed within a racist society.
The police state has got us exactly where it wants us: distracted, distraught and divided.
While protesters topple statues of men with racist pasts who are long dead, unarmed Americans continue to be killed by militarized police trained to shoot first and ask questions later.
While activists use their collective might to pressure corporations to rebrand products in a more racially sensitive fashion, the American police state—aided and abetted by the Corporate State—continues to disproportionately target blacks, Hispanics and other minorities.
And while politically correct censorship is attempting to sanitize the public sphere of words and images that denigrate minorities, it is not doing anything to rid hearts and minds of racism.
Muzzling speech, censoring discourse, erasing history: that’s the worst possible antidote.
As Rod Serling, creator of the Twilight Zone, concluded in the “Deaths-Head Revisited” episode:
“All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes, all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the earth into a graveyard. Into it, they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance, then we become the gravediggers.”
In other words, what we need is more speech, more discourse, and a greater understanding of history and the evils perpetrated in the name of conquest, profit and racial supremacy. Because if we bury the mistakes of the past under a sanitized present, if we fail to at least provide context to the past, we risk allowing the government to repeat those past mistakes—rewritten for a new age—and no one will be the wiser.
It has happened already: we have allowed the government strip people of their humanity; to segregate them into polarized classes; to treat them as chattel; to deny them basic human rights; and to reduce them to figures on a ledger sheet.
Censoring speech—toppling monuments—kowtowing to political correctness—is not the answer to what ails this nation.
As long as we focus on words and ignore the systemic injustices that undergird the words, the disease will spread.
As long as we continue to allow the most controversial issues of our day—gay rights, abortion, race, religion, sexuality, political correctness, police brutality, et al.—to serve as battlegrounds for those who claim to believe in freedom of speech but only when it favors the views and positions they support, we will all eventually lose.

The antidote to intolerance is more tolerance.
What this requires is opening the door to more speech not less, even if that speech is offensive to some.
Understanding that freedom for those in the unpopular minority constitutes the ultimate tolerance in a free society, James Madison, the author of the Bill of Rights, fought for a First Amendment that protected the “minority” against the majority, ensuring that even in the face of overwhelming pressure, a minority of one—even one who espouses distasteful viewpoints—would still have the right to speak freely, pray freely, assemble freely, challenge the government freely, and broadcast his views in the media freely.
The First Amendment is a steam valve. It allows people to speak their minds, air their grievances and contribute to a larger dialogue that hopefully results in a more just world.
When there is no steam valve—when there is no one to hear what the people have to say—frustration builds, anger grows and people become more volatile and desperate to force a conversation. By bottling up dissent, we have created a pressure cooker of stifled misery and discontent that is now bubbling over and fomenting even more hate, distrust and paranoia among portions of the populace.
By becoming so fearfully polite, careful to avoid offense, and largely unwilling to be labeled intolerant, hateful or closed-minded that we’ve eliminated words, phrases and symbols from public discourse, we have entered into an egotistical, insulated, narcissistic era in which free speech has become regulated speech: to be celebrated when it reflects the values of the majority and tolerated otherwise, unless it moves so far beyond our political, religious and socio-economic comfort zones as to be rendered dangerous and unacceptable.
Protest laws, free speech zones, bubble zones, trespass zones, anti-bullying legislation, zero tolerance policies, hate crime laws and a host of other legalistic maladies dreamed up by politicians and prosecutors (and championed by those who want to suppress speech with which they might disagree) have conspired to corrode our core freedoms, purportedly for our own good.
On paper—at least according to the U.S. Constitution—we are technically free to speak.
In reality, however, we are only as free to speak as a government official—or corporate entities such as Facebook, Google or YouTube—may allow.
The end result: free speech is no longer free, and injustice persists.
So what we can do to end racial inequality, police brutality, and systemic injustice that does not involve sacrificing free speech on the altar of political correctness or adopting violent tactics?
Stop tiptoeing around, easily offended or afraid to cause offense. Stop allowing the government and its architects to micromanage your life and curtail your freedoms. Stop being a pawn in someone else’s game.
Find your own voice. Give voice to your own outrage. Speak truth to power nonviolently. And throughout it all, love your enemies and put that love into action.
That last point, to love your enemies, is the hardest of all, yet it was the principle that Jesus Christ spoke of most often: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you.”
This principle was also at the core of Martin Luther King Jr.’s efforts to combat racism and injustice. In fact, King delivered an entire sermon on what it means to love one’s enemies even when they continue to wrong you.
King was not speaking in abstracts. This was a man who, despite having faced down water cannons, police dogs and police brutality, intimidation and prejudice and assassination attempts, still insisted that “mass non-violent resistance based on the principle of love” was his best weapon.
The first step in loving one’s enemies, says King, is to discover the element of good in them. “Within the best of us, there is some evil, and within the worst of us, there is some good. When we come to see this, we take a different attitude toward individuals. The person who hates you most has some good in him; even the nation that hates you most has some good in it; even the race that hates you most has some good in it… There is an element of goodness that he can never slough off. Discover the element of good in your enemy. And as you seek to hate him, find the center of goodness and place your attention there and you will take a new attitude.”
Second, says King, focus on defeating evil systems, rather than vanquishing individuals caught up in an evil system. “Love is greater than like. Love is understanding, redemptive goodwill for all men, so that you love everybody, because God loves them. You refuse to do anything that will defeat an individual, because you have agape [the love of God working in the lives of men] in your soul.

It only intensifies the existence of hate and evil in the universe… Men must see that force begets force, hate begets hate, toughness begets toughness. And it is all a descending spiral, ultimately ending in destruction for all and everybody.”
Fourth, says King, hate ends up in tragic, neurotic responses. “Hate at any point is a cancer that gnaws away at the very vital center of your life and your existence. It is like eroding acid that eats away the best and the objective center of your life. So Jesus says love, because hate destroys the hater as well as the hated.” Instead, use love to redeem and transform those who would do you harm.
Lastly, don’t resort to violence.
King’s conclusion to his sermon is a timeless message, sent through time, to our present age. As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we are still fighting the triple evils of racism, poverty and militarism. We are still struggling to find our way in the world dominated by corporate greed and political ambition. We are still being manipulated into focusing our anger on flawed individuals rather than working to defeat evil establishments.
Sixty-three years later, King’s words are still relevant:
“Our world is in transition now. Our whole world is facing a revolution. Our nation is facing a revolution. History unfortunately leaves some people oppressed and some people oppressors. And there are … ways that individuals who are oppressed can deal with their oppression. One of them is to rise up against their oppressors with physical violence and corroding hatred. But there is another way. And that is to organize mass non-violent resistance based on the principle of love… This is the only way. And our civilization must discover that. Individuals must discover that as they deal with other individuals… [T]o a power-drunk generation … love is the only way… to a generation depending on nuclear and atomic energy, a generation depending on physical violence…love is the only creative, redemptive, transforming power in the universe…. [T]hrough the power of this love somewhere, men of the most recalcitrant bent will be transformed… because we had the power to love our enemies, to bless those persons that cursed us, to even decide to be good to those persons who hated us, and we even prayed for those persons who despitefully used us.”

(Natural News) Officials confirmed last week that Brazil has passed one million coronavirus cases, making it the second country – after the U.S. – to reach the grim milestone. To note, the U.S. still leads in global caseload, reaching two million infections early this month.
The Ministry of Health also reported a record of 54,771 new cases on Friday, which the ministry attributed to system corrections in some states. Brazil’s total caseload is now at 1,106,470 as of June 22, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
According to public health experts, the upswing in new cases is linked to reopenings and social distancing measures being lifted.

The city, as well as its eponymous state, has 97,572 cases and 8,933 deaths – among the highest in the country.
Pandemic shows no signs of stopping
With 654 new deaths reported Monday, Brazil’s death toll has risen to more than 50,000. Based on the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, Brazil is on track to overtake the U.S. as the country with the world’s deadliest outbreak by the end of summer.
The latest estimates from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) indicate that Brazil will top 1.3 million cases by the end of the month. In addition, the PUC-Rio model predicts that total deaths will reach 57,000 during the same period.
Public health experts also believe that Brazil’s actual caseload could be up to seven times higher than the official numbers. To note, the country has a testing rate of 11,814 per million people – the lowest, next to India, among the 10 worst-hit nations in the world. In comparison, the U.S. has a testing rate of 87,706 per million, and Russia – which ranks third – has a rate of 120,074 per million.
Political infighting has further complicated Brazil’s response to the pandemic. Despite the ballooning figures, President Jair Bolsonaro remains obstinate in his refusal to implement new measures to mitigate the infection. This has led to states – especially those allied to the president – to lift lockdowns, even as cases soar. Epidemiologists have warned that lifting the measures makes it harder to pinpoint when the disease will peak in the country. (Related: Latin America the new epicenter of coronavirus pandemic.)
The president’s jobs-over-pandemic approach has led to clashes with state institutions. While the coronavirus ravaged the country, the Health Ministry has gone through two ministers, all of whom have resigned after conflicts with Bolsonaro over disagreements on handling the pandemic.
Coronavirus will hit the economy hard
Economists also warn that a second wave of infections can sink the country’s economy even further.
The latest report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development estimates that Brazil’s economy will contract by 10 percent, should another wave of cases emerge. The World Bank has a similar forecast, saying that the economy will shrink by 8 percent this year should broad shutdown measures continue.

Having the economy slump at this level can further plunge the country into turmoil, with experts warning of corporate bankruptcies, soaring government debt and surging unemployment.
“The economy was already fragile before the pandemic. Many state and municipal governments were unable to even pay the payroll,” explained Marcos de Barros Lisboa, an economist based in Sao Paolo. “Now, the fiscal deficit and public debt will not stop increasing this year.”
In response, the Ministry of Economy implemented a $120 monthly stipend for low-income and informal workers affected by the shutdowns. The government is in talks to develop this into a broader basic income scheme; however, its implementation is hampered by the country’s fragile finances. In another blow to Bolsonaro’s government, his chief architect for his fiscal policy, Treasury Secretary Mansueto Almeida, has said that he will step down this week.

investmentwatchblog--2020-06-24--MSM OUTLETS ARE “ANGRY” THEY LOST CONTROL OF THE GUN CONTROL NARRATIVE

At least one major mainstream media outlet , the LA Times , has been reportedly “ angry ” that gun sales have shot up because of the tyrannical takeover of government in response to the COVID-19 panic they induced .
Apparently , fear can have effects on the public that the MSM and government do no want – more self-reliance .
According to a report by Big League Politics , the LA Times is “ throwing a fit ” that other humans are buying weapons to defend themselves against the obvious tyranny .
Remember , this follows their theme .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the system they set up against you , the easier you will be to control .
Taking your self-defense into your own hands was never a part of their plans .
In fact , the LA Times editorial board described the increase in gun sales as follows : Since the start of the pandemic , Americans are buying more guns .
The FBI says it conducted a record 3.7 million background checks for would-be gun buyers , a loose proxy for firearm sales , in March as lockdown orders spread across the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 2.9 million but rebounded to 3.1 million in May .
The monthly average for 2019 — itself a record year for background checks — was 2.4 million .
So even as we get fresh studies connecting possession of firearms with increased risk of gun violence , accidental shootings ( usually by children ) and suicides , we are adding more firearms to the nation ’ s already numbingly large privately owned arsenal of some 300 million guns ( no reliable count is available ) owned by about a third of the population @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say that this amount of gun sales can be considered “ madness.
” Breitbart News reported Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting ’ s chief economist Jurgen Brauer noted “ the ratio of handguns to long-gun sold… [ set ] a new record of 1.94 ” in April .
That ratio “ [ broke ] the previous high of 1.84 set just one month ago.
” The uptick in handgun purchases are indicative of a populace feeling like an extra layer of self-defense in warranted .
I ’ ve often suggested stocking up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and lead .

investmentwatchblog--2020-06-24--The Biggest Disconnect Between Prices And Profits In Stock Market History?

Everyone is talking about the massive disparity between stock prices and fundamentals right now .
To paraphrase Jeremy Grantham , we now find ourselves in the top 1 % of stock market valuations and the bottom 1 % of economic outcomes ( based on the annualized rate of decline in second quarter GDP ) .
A popular way to demonstrate this gap is seen in the chart below which plots total equity values along with total corporate profits .
At first glance , it appears this is the biggest disconnect between prices and profits in at least 30 years .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a price-to-earnings ratio , it becomes clear that the stock market bubble of 20 years ago actually takes the cake .
But what a simple price-to-earnings ratio doesn ’ t account for is the fact that Dotcom bubble appears so severe in the chart above largely because profit margins were relatively depressed at the time .
Furthermore , profit margins in recent years became extremely inflated .
This serves to make stock prices over the past few years look less expensive than they otherwise would .
So if we normalize profit margins ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can see that stock prices today are more expensive than they were 20 years ago at the peak of the Dotcom mania .
It turns out that the current disconnect between stock prices and sustainable profits is , in fact , greater than anything we have seen in modern history .
The last time we saw prices and earnings disconnect in such an extreme way famously led to a “ lost decade ” for the stock market from 2000 to 2010 .
Is it unreasonable to think the current extreme in valuations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” especially if profit margins are only beginning to revert to their historical mean ?

I’m considering staying off social media and limiting news intake not only because it’s pissing me the heck off, but because it’s simply not healthy overall. All of this corruption and ignorance is simply not healthy for anyone in the slightest.

I ’ ve personally been off of social media for a very long time now .
I don ’ t post , nor do I really look at my feeds for long periods of time like I used to .
However , I do hop on every now and then to stay up to date with my favorite content creators , gaming news , and movie news .
But my gosh is social media just an absolute mess , and it ’ s probably the worst I ’ ve ever seen it to be quite honest .
You have people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just spewing out bullcrap opinions without any logical thinking .
People are defending the deaths of innocent human beings all around the country .
Racist folks being racist , but then saying they ’ re not when they clearly fucking are .
Basically anything that you hate about the internet is now present on just about every social media platform .
And I never watch the news , but my family does .
All day the TV is on CNN or MSNBC , and it ’ s never anything positive or uplifting .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump , or the virus that makes this country look like a huge reality TV show .
Then the fact that a lot of the shit on the news is over-exaggerated or scripted makes me not like them even more .
Honestly , I ’ m thinking about just taking a huge break for the sake of my mental health .
I ’ m not sick , nor do I let this stuff impact my daily life .
However , this shit is not good for anyone ’ s mental health , especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and how corrupt this world is .
It ’ s not healthy to constantly expose ourselves to just pure ignorance , and continue to witness the pure corruption in this country because it starts to take a toll on you .
I think the icing on the cake for me today was when I saw that Bubba Wallaces ’ situation was a hoax , and now people are using this as a gateway to spew out their bullcrap opinions for their bullcrap narrative .
Truth be told , I don ’ t even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have people online bitching about a statue while allegedly thousands of people are allowed to go to a fucking Trump really…meanwhile we can barely go to the grocery store ?
Smh , humanity is truly doomed .
Folks , always stay vigilant and I advise you to also take a break from this stuff for the sake of your mental health .
At some point , all this negativity will start to have an impact on our lives if all our lives is just constant negativity .
Just remember to not feed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bullcrap politics .
It ’ s doing nothing more than dividing us so it ’ s easier to conquer us .
