Walmart-owned Sam’s Club plans to open about 30 new stores over next five years – Melissa Repko – CNBC

Nasdaq closes 1.7% higher as Tesla pops, Dow adds 200 points – Samantha Subin – Alex Harring – CNBC

Does anyone with a brain really think that our economy, or the global economy, is crashing into a recession? We keep getting told that it is, to “prepare for hard times”, “get ready for hardship”, “major food and goods shortages are coming”.

The only thing causing shortages that I can see are all the arson attacks and bird flu infections going on at chicken farms. That and the artificial beef shortage caused by the artificial feed shortage caused by the artificial fertilizer shortage. What’s made the most impact is the sudden high price of eggs, but chickens go from chick to laying hen in 6 months and to meat birds in 4 months. The beef shortage hasn’t hit yet because cattle raisers have been culling their herds due to the feed shortage, so beef is actually cheaper than it was months ago.

You never hear a word now about the global shipping “backlog” of ships backed up for months at ports. The “Global Shipping Disaster” seems to have silently faded away. The supposed lack of truckers has gone along with the diesel fuel shortage.

What should we make of all this? The Walmart people are no fools and they see prosperity ahead. Sams Clubs are like Costco, they’re Members Only, big discount stores that sell a huge variety of stuff at a near-wholesale discount, and Walmart is looking to open 30 of them. That’s a huge investment.

Tesla Motors has been dropping the prices on it’s cars and trucks with the result that sales have increased and its stock value has gone back up. Tesla cars have been priced out of the range of the majority of us but with lower prices they’ll sell a lot more cars.

New discount stores and discounted car prices indicate to me that less people are expected to make high wages now and in the future and that merchants are going to start appealing to the less affluent for sales. That means that there will be more products coming from China, not less, and that China will have to take less profit and pay lower wages. They may do more business but they’ll make less money.

Shipping from the Far East is expensive, which is why those container ships are so huge. The greater the volume the less cost per each. Even so, once they get here they have to be unloaded, loaded on a waiting truck there at the port exclusively for one particular container out of thousands, by huge, extremely expensive machinery, then driven hundreds of miles to their destinations, then the container must be returned….. It’s an expensive process, which encourages factories here to start up production again, which creates more jobs. Factory assembly line jobs, the kind that pay minimum wage.

The whole general drift of all this is that average wages have gone down and are expected to stay low compared to the Pre-Covid Lockdowns Era, but that the shortages our MSM and Great Leaders have been trying to terrorize us with are not going to happen unless they hit us with the occasional fake one to maintain a level of uncertainty and panic among the sheep.

Meanwhile, our population will steadily decline as they keep injecting and infecting us with their latest poisons and mutated diseases. We’re not going to be subjected to a massive depression with soup and bread lines. That was a disaster for the rich back in 1929 which they have no intention of ever seeing repeated. They’re going to continue to enjoy their great wealth as they steadily reduce our numbers, in a very regulated way.

I hope the first large group to be eradicated is The Homeless. Those people are the bottom rung of a 20 foot ladder standing 10 feet deep in shit. No doubt their elimination from the cities will be tied to another Constitutional Rights removal that we will accept as the price for clean streets once again, under the principle of never letting a good crisis go to waste.

No guarantee this will actually happen, of course, it’s just my hope that this human trash is first to go but Big Brother may prefer to let them remain as an aid in keeping us producing citizens down and controlled. Don’t want us getting too prosperous again, after all.

There’s a lot of agitation within Turkey to leave NATO as well as a lot of NATO members wanting to kick Turkey out because of the constant problems they keep causing.

Not the least of these was their refusal to purchase our anti-aircraft missile systems with the purchase of our fighter jets. They insisted on buying the Russian system instead, which would require giving the Russians secret information about our aircraft. They did this because the Russians told them to, and they have allied with Russia as well as with NATO, which is enemies with Russia. The end result was they bought the Russian system and we refused to sell them our aircraft.

Now we have Sweden and Finland wanting to join NATO and approved by all members except Turkey, which has been making demands of those countries that go against their constitutions and cannot be met.

This is Turkey’s self-appointed dictator Recep Erdogan’s flexing his ego and testing his power against the NATO nations and the reason many are calling for Turkey’s ouster from NATO.

The reasons Turkey hasn’t been ousted yet are because Turkey joined in 1952, long before Erdogan came along, and may be easier to live with after he’s gone. That’s one, and the fact that we are using part of their Tikrit air force base to house some of our military aircraft and to deploy, re-arm and refuel them from there in military actions. Tikrit is very strategically important to us and NATO and if Turkey leaves NATO we lose access to Tikrit.

Erdogan is a Muslim arab and they’re all into manipulating and double-dealing, intrigue and backstabbing, agreeing and then reneging. Dealing with these people is always a fucking nightmare because they never do anything straight up.

The very latest on this is that Turkey may stop blocking Sweden and Finland and get some F-16s, instead of leaving or being kicked out of NATO. More as it happens.

Can’t resist a Chinese-y title for this post, since China is so involved in what it’s about.

Senator Ted Cruz sent a bill to Congress to stop FuckJoe Biden from selling any more of our strategic oil reserves to Communist China and it passed 331 to 97. Cruz is a Republican but 119 Democrats signed onto his bill.

Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, sold her Google stocks right before the Department of Justice announced an anti-trust lawsuit against them. Obviously, someone in the DoJ told her that the lawsuit was coming, and doing so is a serious crime.

We are sending our top of the line Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine because FuckJoe Biden “changed his mind”.

What does all this tell me? The same thing I’ve said here before, that the real force and power running America is hidden, and all these politicians are just jockeying for a piece of the action. It’s a block party, they’re all broken up into little power blocs that are all out for themselves and fuck the rest of us powerless citizens,

Biden is a puppet, he’s not governing, he’s not in charge, he does what he’s told. Why would he sell off our oil to China? Because he and his son Hunter are profiting from those sales and he’s being allowed to do it by the “Hidden Tiger”, who I suspect is essentially a committee formed by the WEF members, CIA, FBI, and top Pentagon brass. Just my opinion.

Only now another power bloc is out to stop any further oil sales because those sales damage their own interests. Probably because all those voting with Ted Cruz are invested in oil stocks and want to see more oil going back into the Strategic Reserve instead of to China. In fact it’s possible we may see gas prices at the pump go back down some to boost the economy and the politicians wealth.

Of course, the Globalist WEF will have a say in that, so who knows? But this is my other point in writing this, that there’s no real cohesion or mutual agreement in the blocs that currently comprise what we call a government, and our future is in a state of flux. There’s no way of knowing which of these blocs are going to do what next and we’re already living in a convoluted, contrary mess.

Maybe because we don’t expect to need them.

Concern is being expressed on the Internet in various blogs that because we’ve sent so many different munitions to Ukraine, that it will take five years at a minimum to replace some, like the 155mm explosive cannon shell, and maybe 15 years to get fully restocked on things like Stinger missiles.

Perhaps so, but that doesn’t mean that our inventories are all depleted, because only the Department of Defense knows what we still have. But if we are nearly out of much of this stuff, it’s with the consent of our admirals and generals, and that would only happen if they knew we weren’t going to need it anyway.

If they fully expect Ukraine to win the war against Putin’s armies, and they do, it will mean the end of Putin, and Russia will either collapse into a totally non-threatening condition or be brought fully into the Globalist fold, or both. That only leaves China to deal with. That’s why the US and EU are so involved in aiding Ukraine.

Turkey’s Erdogan has been a serious problem, with his non-stop string of power plays, but that’s only because he’s had Russia backing him even though Turkey is a member of NATO. Thing is, Turkey was in NATO long before that asshole got himself elected and started turning the country into a dictatorship. So with Russia shut down as a threat and as an ally of his, he’ll be all alone out there and I’ve no doubt he’ll then quickly come to terms.

When Russia is no longer a viable ally of China, it will come down to a stand-off between China and their few, poor allies in Africa and South America, against the West. Also on our side will be much of the Far East, because the CCP has been so aggressive against those nations, stealing their fishing grounds, attacking their territorial rights, threatening them. The CCP has been buying friends with loans and infrastructure projects, but friends you buy are never as solid and real as friends you make, and some of the recipients of those loans and infrastructure would love to take back their ports and oil fields that the Chinese confiscated when they couldn’t pay back the loans.

Those abused and angered nations just might ask to join up with an alliance of other Eastern nations. I can see Vietnam jumping for a chance to do that after all the harassment they’ve gotten from the Chinese Communist regime.

Back to munitions depletion, could it also be that we’re building all new types of weapons, that everything we’re sending to Ukraine is or will soon be obsolete and we won’t need more of it in the future? The fact is, we are building new weapons of new types, that don’t necessarily explode to cause damage.

The Globalist plan is emerging here for me, at last. I could be wrong about all of this but like Occam’s Razor, the simplest and most obvious is usually correct.

The Russians are still attacking Ukraine cities with flying bombs. Missiles loaded with explosives. It seems to me to be past time that a massive bombing attack was launched on Russia of not just missiles but drone bomber aircraft. Take the war to them full bore and blast the hell out of them, give them some Shock and Awe.

Take out their air defenses, aircraft and airports and then send in piloted bombers with massive loads and drop them on their most important cities. Destroy their weaponry and kill off 100,000 Russian civilians and then see how much the people support this invasion.

Bomb their nuclear power plants and create a few major disasters. Bomb their chemical plants and release thousands of tons of toxic chemicals into their environment, poisoning them and their children. See how much they like invading and killing innocent Ukrainians then. Maybe they’ll finally wake up and get rid of Putin before he brings death and destruction to the whole country, because that literally is where this is heading.

This war continues to escalate with more and more EU nations getting into it by donating their war machines to Ukraine and providing technicians to train them in their use. More tanks are coming that are far superior to the Russian ones, more surface to air and surface to surface missile systems are coming, more aircraft are coming, more artillery is coming, more rifles, ammo, night vision, personal armor, more everything is coming to Ukraine in a steady flood and the Russians can’t win. Not by any means because they’re flatly outnumbered and outgunned and Putin’s already been warned that if he uses so much as one small “tactical” nuke, Russia will be destroyed.

He hasn’t stopped because he must still think he can win at least part of Ukraine and so, declare victory. He’s tried to force such a concession with nuclear threats which failed to impress anyone, but he still thinks he can bully his way to victory or something that he can call a victory.

I don’t doubt that when he sees his army steadily pushed back and destroyed, as he runs out of war machines while explosions inside Russia increase, that he’ll resort to using at least one nuclear weapon in desperation. I’m sure our EU and NATO allies see this as likely, as well, which tells me that before we reach this point there will be a strike that takes him out or he’ll be assassinated by someone close to him.

I wish them great success. It’s far past time that Russia joined the rest of Europe as a contributing member instead of being the Eternal Conqueror. What may be needed to stop this, at least it’s an option, is for the NATO nations to jointly declare war on Russia, or at least declare the intention to do so if Putin doesn’t withdraw his forces.

You won’t read about this in any Main Stream media.

15 Minute Cities are what you get when you take a big city like Paris, France and divide it up into little cities with boundaries that are a 15 minute walk from the center. Picture a circle with a dot in the center. Start walking from that dot in a straight line away from it. In 15 minutes you’ve reached the city limit and you have to stop because there’s an electric fence all the way around and gates with guards on the roads.

The average adult walks at 3 miles per hour, which means that 15 minute cities are 1.5 miles across. Simple math. You will live inside a fenced in area that is 1.5 miles across and need a permit to leave it.

Paris, France is now on the list to become one, along with Oxford, England. One by one, all of Europe’s cities will become divided up into 15 Minute cities, if the plans of the EU, the United Nations and the WEF are successful. That’s not all, of course, the USA, Canada, Australia and most of South America will eventually do it, plus Russia once they lose their war and have a new Globalist government like the rest of us.

People will be limited on how many times a year they can leave their mini-city, cars will be registered and tracked, permits will be required and so on.

Can you think of a better way to divide and conquer? This will give total control over the entire population, right down to who gets to live and who dies.

I’ve been wondering if the Globalists were planning something similar to what the Chinese are doing and they’re not very far off from that. The Chinese are way ahead of the Globalists when it comes to population control now but it looks like the Globalists are on a roll and may surpass the Chinese in anther few years.

Remember when earlier this year and the year before, both, we were told that there were going to be massive food shortages? Where are they? Prices have gone up on food, yes, and chickens and eggs most of all because they’ve been burning down the chicken farms where they couldn’t infect the birds with Bird Flu, but all that’s done is drive up the prices. There’s still plenty of chicken and eggs in every grocery store.

What’s mostly driven up prices on everything, too, is all the money printing. When you dump another $8 Trillion or so into the economy, you cheapen the value of the dollar, and of course everyone raises prices to compensate. That’s inflation.

But the shortages and starvation and blah blah that we’ve been told was coming, never came, and it’s sure not because anyone in our government did anything right. What the hell was the purpose of telling us all that stuff when it was all bullshit and did nothing?

That looks like disorganization to me. Like there’s a lot of quiet infighting going on right now for positions of power and they’re too busy to coordinate their plans. The 20 “Republican” Uniparty members who refused to vote for that Far Left piece of shit McCarthy for House Speaker, for instance. The media played that as them being patriotic Americans and proof that we still have democracy, and if you buy that I have a bridge to sell you because it looks a lot more like they were making it clear that they have power as a group.

This is just an observation on my part and I’ll leave it at that, as something I thought worth noting.

“Almost half of top foreign-policy experts think Russia will become a failed state or break up by 2033, according to a new survey.” From MSN “business Insider”.

Various analysts, from business and economics to the military, are predicting the collapse of Russia because of their war with Ukraine. I said from the start of their invasion that this was a plot to destroy Russia, that Putin was enticed to invade Ukraine by feeding him false information.

Remember when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990? If you’re old enough to remember, Saddam was tricked into invading Kuwait by our ambassador to the Middle East, a woman at the time, who said that we would not defend Kuwait, knowing full well that Saddam wanted to invade and take over the country but was only held back because of his fear of us intervening.

Why did we trick him into doing this? Because we wanted an excuse to go to war with Iraq. Why did we want a war with Iraq? To take over their oil industry. Ultimately that failed because the Arabs are such a violent bunch of disorganized fanatical Muslims that controlling them all so we could start pumping out their oil proved to be impossible.

So now we’ve gone and done it again, but at least this time it wasn’t for oil, it was stop Russia from being a hundred years long bully and pain in the world’s ass. The Globalists want to put an end to nationalism and borders and getting rid of Russia is a big step. Russia is going to lose this war and in a big way. Keep watching.

WHEN THEY KILL LULA.

Until then, it’s just a bunch of angry people letting off steam.

If they really want to take their country back they can’t let those who stole it continue to live. That’s just a simple fact.

Two sides of the same coin. With Capitalism you don’t earn money by the sweat of your brow, through your labor, you “make” money by taking advantage of changes in the marketplace. Essentially, by buying low and selling high.

Communism has as it’s mantra, “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.”

Capitalism creates the very wealthy class who employ laborers at the lowest rates possible, resulting in a two class system, the rich and the poor. This creates Communism because the people always rise up against the rich and form unions which demand a larger share of the profit or they’ll shut down the industries of the rich.

The poor gladly embrace a system that guarantees them more equality. This is the strength of Communism.

Where both fail is that they’re rigid systems that lack compatibility with each other or other systems, and ever since Lenin and Marx, our world has been oscillating back and forth between one side or the other. The American experiment in Democracy tried to meld the two together by embracing a Judeo-Christian form of government that recognized individual freedom within limits, but it’s now collapsing under the onslaught of human greed, more than anything else, simply because America has been such a massive generator of wealth because of it’s success.

Greed threatens to be the downfall of the largest Communist nation, China, as well, because of their persistent efforts to dominate their neighbors, with a clear intention of world domination. This only leads to war, in which everyone loses.

Now enter Globalism. No one seems to notice that the richest people on Earth are Capitalists who are now using their vast fortunes to end nationalism and drastically reduce the human population that made them their fortunes. Think about that, it only makes sense when viewed in the proper perspective. Which is:

If you have anything close to a $billion, you have complete freedom to travel the world and see what’s going on. Your mind isn’t occupied with work and family, instead you can give your attention to the putrid polluted mess our excess population is making of YOUR planet, and you realize that most of us are unnecessary, we’re “Useless Eaters” who are wrecking the place. YOUR place.

What good is all that money you made if the planet you live on is becoming uninhabitable? Not much, right? So it’s time to clean the place up and after all those Useless Eaters are gone, you’ll still be rich and so will all your rich friends.

There’s much more to this story, involving past events as well as the probable future, stifled technology, red herrings and vastly more. This is the basics.
