The Shitshow Macro Weekly Prep Pod for Monday 7.29.24 is out!

-On Statecraft and Religion post still in the works - Friday added a new wrinkle to it

Domestic Politics:
-Varying reporting is coming out about a flurry of “Biden” White House Executive Orders, regulatory initiatives, new appointments, and even Supreme Court changes (term limits, an ethics code, etc “reportedly”) before he steps down.
--Notably, nobody seems to be bothered to ask - if Biden is in such bad shape, who are these actually coming from?

-As a reminder, “The Debate” that started this phase of the Shitshow was only a month ago. Feels like a lifetime.

-Similarly, Seymour Hersh dropped some reporting that he claims come from several well-placed sources that Biden dropped out of the race due to an extortion threat from Obama/Kamerla.
--The claim is that Obama called Joe and said Kammy was on board to invoke the 25th Amendment if he didn’t drop out on his own.
--The wrinkle, according to the reporting, was that Joe wasn’t supposed to endorse Kammy - Obama didn’t want that. Doing so was supposedly Joe’s middle finger to the coup.
--As with anything coming out of DC or their media pets right now, grain of salt.
--Articles in the show notes.

-Disinfo abounds from the Harris campaign directly and the media re: Harris’ “record,” JD Vance, and Trump. It’s gonna be a long slug o’ BS until November.
--Lies tracked so far:
--Harris campaign posted DISINFO claiming an interview Vance gave before he was a Senator was him endorsing Project 2025 - years before it even existed.
--Post and video by Ben Domenech, the person who actually gave the interview and who called out these egregious Harris campaign lies, is in the show notes.
--Obama’s old photographer posted a years-old picture of Trump and tried to claim it was “proof” he wasn’t shot.
--When caught, the photog self-deleted his account, and other BlueAnon’s tried to claim it was Elon Musk-directed censorship.
--Media tried to memory hold Karmala’s position as Border Czar, her promoting the MN Freedom Fund (to bail Kenosha arsonists & rioters out of jail - one of whom went on to quickly murder someone), as well as her actual voting record which, as reported by MSM outlets previously, placed her to the left of Bernie Sanders and as the “most liberal person in the Senate.”
--In true Orweillian fashion, the media’s response was to delete their own prior reporting to keep these lies & white washing of Karmala’s past going.

-BAMF and true-blue American hero Joe Kent ( @joekent16jan19 who is currently running as congressional candidate for Washington State’s 3rd District) has a new interview with Lafayette Lee (@Partisan_O) in IM-1776 (@IM_1776) called Our Generation’s War that you should read.
--Kent is one of my generation of GWOT vets who broke the mold from former NeoCon, fight the world for no real reason line of thought.
--His perspective is worth listening to on where we were vs where we are vs where we should be facing, and in my personal opinion we need more Joe Kents in DC.
--Article in the show notes.

-It has only been 2 weeks since the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The media has tried to memory hole it, --BlueAnon has seeded DISINFO that it never happened, and now Google has been caught disabling auto-correct for anyone who searches for it.
--Interestingly, the search giant has begun listing Trump’s age first whenever someone tries to perform one of these searches.
--This is another quite Orweillian shift of late; when Biden was staying in the race, the entire media and propaganda machine claimed age was his strength.
--The moment Biden dropped out, in unison they began claiming that age was a detriment for Trump.

-Oliver Stone, the director of the infamous film JFK, posted an interview that he gave in 1992 about JFK, along with some comments about the current day inability to get away with the same program they’d run on Kennedy.
-His quote: This interview is from 1992. It’s not 1963 anymore. People are awake and sentient. Too many cameras. Let’s not allow the media to move on without getting real answers.
---Link to interview clip in the show notes.

-An article out in the @NYPost by @mirandadevine highlights how a loss of trust in the FBI as an institution as a crisis of confidence has caused local cops and sheriffs to refuse to share information or work with the FBI.
--Article in the show notes.

-3 Palestinians on the terror watch list were caught crossing the southern border of the US this week.

-Remember how we talked about the DC DA & prosecutors who are still rounding up non-violent J6ers but decided to drop charges on the violent pro-Hamas protestors in DC who attacked police?
--They dropped charges on another 7 and let 4 more walk free over the weekend.

War/Military:
-It looks like Israel is about to launch a war on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
--Reports came out Sunday that Israel warned France that their invasion of Lebanon was imminent.
--The group Medical Volunteers for Israel put out an urgent call for general surgeons, thoracic surgeons, trauma surgeons, and anaesthesiologists to help staff Israel’s northern hospitals.
-Update: Lebanon claimed US envoy and National Security Council (NSC) member leaked Israel's attack plans to them.
-Notably, John Kerry was previously caught doing the same type of leaking to Iran but never held accountable.

-Iranian-backed militia forces in Iraq fired rockets on Saturday at US forces stationed in the Conoco gas fields in Syria, injuring an undisclosed number of US troops.
--The militia targeted US troops at both the Al Omar oil fields and MSS Euphrates.

-80 Russian Wagner mercenaries got ambushed & smoked or taken hostage by Tuareg rebels in Mali. The mercs were on their way to join a battle when they were ambushed.
--If Wagner being in Mali is news to you, please read my Shitshow Macro Post 7: Why Are US Special Operations Troops in North Africa (or listen to the podcast version on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Sub)

Science/Health:
-Dr. Eric Feigl Ding has begun making the rounds trying to scare people into submission over the Bird Flu, even claiming a 50% mortality rate.
--It should be noted that he was one of the people who widely spread outright falsities about the Coof. What’s my saying about people who show themselves to be less than truthful or trustworthy?

-Scientists believe they may have found a cure to lupus.

-The unredacted Coof protocols of the German RKI Institute were reportedly leaked by a whistle blower last week. The claims were that they were explosive, but I haven’t seen any reporting on the actual leaks yet.

-Scientists have begun exploring the planet K2-18b, which they believe may contain life due to its earth-like environment and a gas in its atmosphere that is typically only released by living organisms.

Religion:
-After the fallout of the Olympics opening ceremonies (discussed on Saturday’s show), many have been calling out that we have it all wrong and it was simply a recreation of the Greek god of fertility Dionysus.
--As a guy who’s spent the past couple of years diving deeply into ancient religions and cults, I have to go with a hard no on this one.
--The obese woman in the middle of the “last supper” recreation had a faux halo around her head. This was never an aspect of the Dionysian cults or artwork depictions.

-Similarly, less than 24 hours after that sacrilegious Shitshow, the city of Paris inexplicably lost power.
-Well, inexplicably to the secular.
One building maintained its power, however. The Sacre Coeur Church.

-I mentioned an X post on Saturday’s show that I couldn’t remember the proper attribution for. I found it, and Eighth Century Woodchipper (@bonifaceoption) followed it up with an addition this weekend:

Markets/economics:
-It came out last week that, once again in Q4 2023, most of the job numbers out of BLS were fake.

-637k reported. Actual 344k.
-Chart in the show notes.
-Evictions are up between 15 and 35% across a dozen major cities.

-The Blackstone Mortgage REIT has cut its dividend due to increasing distressed mortgages.

-Treasury Secretary Yellen made public statements that $3 trillion is needed yearly to fund a climate transition.
--Guess where they intend to get that money from?

-Many in the Crypto community have been extremely upset at the Biden Admin’s war on crypto, as well as its murky regulatory environment.
--At the Bitcoin 2024 Conference this weekend, Trump announced that he would end that, and use around 200k BTC that the Federal Government seized to create a national stockpile and begin to implement Crypto as a national policy.

-There are many, many financial pundits screaming for Fed rate cuts and seemingly trying to will them into existence.
--Fed Chair JPoww gave remarks at a conference with the EU leaders last week where he not-so-explicitly said that rate cuts should not be expected in the foreseeable future.

-According to @Truflation the compounded inflation rate since January 2020 is 25.27%

-The “Magnificent 7” of the stock market lost a combined $1.1 trillion in market cap last week. We shall see if this continues or if there’s a magical intervention.

Business:
-Ford is reportedly trying to patent a technology that will allow its cars to report speeding drivers to the police.
--As we would call this in the military, what a bunch of Blue Falcons.

-In similar news, @DonMiami3 (of @MacroEdge) reported that Ford’s Electric Vehicle division lost $5 billion.
--Cars so good they would need mandates to make them profitable, it seems.
--That story sure sounds familiar.

-Conn’s Home Plus has announced plans to wind down its business, shuttering all of its stores and likely leading to around 4k job cuts.

Geopolitics:
-Venezuela is having elections today, and it’s going about how you’d expect.
--Video of one polling location showed locals tearing down the fences because they’d stood in line for many hours after it was supposed to open for but hadn’t.
--Other locations are reportedly closing down in districts where Maduro is having a poor showing.
--Notably, the Maduro regime has done everything it could, in true regime methods, to ice the main opposition out of the race entirely for several months.

-While most of Israel’s news has been in the war section lately, we have one that fits in both, but best here.
--While Karmala Harris refused to perform her VP duties and be in Congress when Netanyahu addressed them last week, she did meet with him privately. Virtue signaling, DC-style.
--@JackPosobiec began reporting pretty early that she had asked Netanyahu to immediately move to a ceasefire, to which Bibi laughed at her forcefully.
--It should be noted, less than 24hrs after Kammy asked for cease fire, IDF and Shin Bet found the 5 bodies of hostages in a Gaza tunnel, and Hezzies killed 9 Druze kids on a soccer field with rockets (now confirmed it was Hezzies).
--A statement released by Trump on Truth Social after Bibi’s visit down south seems to back up Poso’s early reporting.

-Despite massive demand for the book, the German publisher of JD Vance’s book Hillbilly Eulogy (the version translated into Deutsche) has refused to continue printing it due to his affiliation with Trump.
--Article in the show notes. What a bunch of petty losers.

Social dynamics/societal/culture war/Legal:
-Peter Brimelow put out a video last week stating that his org @VDARE would be shutting down due to the lawfare of (Soros-funded) NY AG Letishja James.
--As rapes are up 300% by some reports in NY, corporate leases and notes are defaulting like nobody’s business, and people are in the streets protesting the lawlessness, the NY AG is using taxpayer funds to go after political targets like VDare, NRA, Trump, and others.
--Which way, Western man?

--Link to Brimelow’s video in the show notes. It’s telling, even if you don’t know his intellectual political dissident organization.
-Andrew Breitbart said that, “Politics is downstream of culture.”
--In that case, musician and progressive icon Morrissey introducing a new song during his Las Vegas performance called “The World is Full of Crashing Bores” that took a torch to Bill Gates, Fauci, and Klaus Schwab is certainly an indicator.

Conspiracy-y:
I think the Olympic games opening ceremony has us filled up in this department until Friday.

White Pill:
I am a huge fan of Ayn Rand, and it’s due to far more than simply her writing, which is great in itself. If you don’t know her full story, Ayn actually lived under the Bolshivik commie scum in the USSR, and was one of the few who were able to escape.

She fled to the US, and actually got to testify in front of Congress as to the atrocities being done by the godless heathen commies. Due to DISINFO and propaganda being flooded across the West by media outlets like Walter Mitty at the New York Times and others, Congress didn’t believe her.

As I point out in great detail in the latest On Statecraft and Religion post (coming soon) the Western press loved Russia when the Bolsheviks ran it, when Harvard alumni helped break it up and create the oligarchs post-USSR fall, and even during the Obama/Hillary Clinton “Russian Reset.”

It wasn’t until Putin started trying to bring Christianity to Russia that he became enemy number 1 to the Western media. Interesting, innit? This is elucidated in great detail via an interview between Posobiec and @TuckerCarlson that I have linked in the post.

When Ayn Rand couldn’t surpass the propaganda of the Western press that painted the Bolsheviks as the good guys, she began writing “fiction” books that painted, in great detail, the way that the commie scum always take over societies - slowly, then all at once.

My favorites of her works are The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Both talk about the “prime movers,” those people who build and succeed no matter the cost, risk, or toil required, because building and succeeding against all odds is part of their prime directive.

Today’s White Pill is a short interview that I saw on Sunday that may help you understand that the prime movers still exist in this country, and are still hard at work. While there are many, this is one excellent example.

Enjoy this short clip posted by @AJtourville that outlines what a prime mover is, and how they operate in the face of naysayers and black pillers:

Implications:
-Israel said they would hit the Hezzies in July…only a coupla days left, but it seems imminent.

-Magnificent 7 erases $1.1 trillion, another $16 billion in outflows expected this week, evictions skyrocketing across major metro areas, and homes flooding the market without selling. It’s the economy, stupid.

-As a person who is currently making his way back through reading The Bible and is still in the Pentateuch (Old Testament) - specifically Kings 2 - seeing that Paris lost power after that Shitshow except for Sacre Coeur…all that I have to say is covfefe (in the end, we will win).

The Weekly Read (Monday):
Karmala Harris is not expected by many rational observers to be the actual person that ends up on the November ticket against Trump, although crazier things have happened.

The media has seemed to be her only supporter since she didn’t win a single delegate in 2020 and had to drop out of the race early.

Many are bringing up her (many) controversies and proof points that she’s an ultra-radical when it actually comes down to it, but Peter Schweizer laid out some blatant corruption (according to his reporting) in his book Profiles in Corruption. If you've not read it, you should.

I’m one who hopes to see the corruption excised from both parties, and Peter’s book is an “equal opportunity” player as it outlines corruption of both Republicans and Democrats.

Macro takeaways/lessons for the week:
-If you thought the pro-Hamas college kids and entitled Yuppie/Nimby smelly commies on campus were bad, just wait until the Hezzie sleeper cells awaken that have been allowed to settle all across our country due to the open border if Israel goes hard into Lebanon.
--I sincerely hope that I’m wrong on this, but it’s an issue I’ve been tracking for over a decade.
