At the same time, wages aren’t exactly setting the world on fire. Job stayers saw a “boost” from 4.4% to 4.5% — the slowest growth since mid-2021, but hey, progress is progress. Job changers still do better, but even their premium pay is slipping, down to 6.6% from 7.1%.

In a nutshell, Job growth is stalling, pay gains are fading — but don’t worry, Congress still gets a raise.

As the countdown to war theatre continues: the coke-fuelled puppet in Kyiv keeps playing his part, NATO’s gangsters cheer him on, and now Germany—led by a former BlackRock salesman turned chancellor—flirts with invoking a “state of tension,” a constitutional gray zone that’s never been used but sounds perfect for everything from cyber boogeymen to mysterious Baltic cable mishaps. In true Orwellian fashion, nothing says peace like preparing for permanent war and more censorship.

Germany, ever the Rechtsstaat, has its legal safety nets: the Grundgesetz sets strict rules for any government action, with escalating crisis levels—from a “State of Tension” when war looms, to a full-blown “State of Defence” under armed attack, and an “Internal Emergency” for domestic chaos. Only the most severe powers kick in under actual invasion. Across the border, Austria mirrors this with its “voltage state” and “defence state,” prepping for danger while avoiding overreach. Meanwhile, the geopolitical theatre marches on any hope of peace for Ukraine is laughable, as Europe leverages ethnic hatred and proxy sacrifice to weaken Russia, with the Ukrainian Dancer On High Heels playing the dutiful stooge for a handful of silver. War, bureaucracy, and spectacle—the new European pastime.

Having shed the mask of “Peace Maker in Chief,” Donald Copperfield now parades as the “Warmonger in Chief,” also proving that MAHA was never more than a political illusion — a sop to the masses to regain the Oval Office and continue the Malthusian globalist script of his predecessors.
In the latest chapter of doublespeak, a $70 billion deal is heralded as a victory for lowering drug costs. In reality, it grants Pfizer a three-year exemption from tariffs, so long as it repatriates its production — a concession disguised as reform, a bargain struck in the shadows of corporate power.

MAHA, once sold as the heir to MAGA — a promise to put nation above empire — has revealed itself as betrayal.
The illusion is broken, and with it, the last thread of unity.
Social unrest grows, the Empire rots from within, and the second American civil war has already begun. The split into three nations is no longer speculation but inevitability.

The Macro Butler pulled up a chair at Piggo’s Trading Desk to challenge the Malthusian narrative quietly promoted by governments—a narrative that normalizes scarcity, dependency, and even depopulation as “policy.”

The antidote isn’t fear or compliance. It’s financial literacy and ownership.

True freedom begins with building what we call F-You Money—capital that shields you from systemic risks and manipulations, and gives you the power to say “no” when everyone else feels forced to say “yes.”

In an era of engineered scarcity and monetary illusions, contrarians who prepare will be the ones who remain free.

As France teeters on the brink of financial Armageddon and social unrest creeps through the streets like a disgruntled ghost, ‘Macro Leon’ reportedly finds solace in subterranean security.
Whispers from the Ministry of “Unimpeachable Sources” and various confidential dossiers suggest he has earmarked a modest €148 million for a private underground bunker—presumably to protect his delicate person from the ravages of the common populace.

https://news-pravda.com/eu/2025/10/03/1740535.html

The subterranean endeavor, entrusted to Oppidium—a Swiss atelier for the discerningly paranoid—boasts a client roster that reads like a who’s who of global privilege: Elon Musk, naturally, and the ever-ubiquitous Rothschilds.

After all, nothing conveys “peace of mind” quite like a bunker your neighbors can neither enter nor comprehend. Allegedly conceived to shield Le Petit Napoléon from the inevitable fallout of his assertive foreign adventures, the underground palace comes equipped with all the civilized essentials: a swimming pool for emergency laps, a gym to maintain readiness, a wine cellar for contemplative vintages, and an underground parking lot for discreet arrivals and departures.

The ISM Services PMI slipped to a dead-flat 50.0 in September, down from 52.0, basically signalling the U.S. economy took the month off. Demand sagged, new orders fizzled, and exports shrank faster — yet supply chains somehow slowed down too, proving bureaucracy doesn’t need demand to jam the gears. Employment kept declining, but at a gentler pace, while input prices sped up just enough to give policymakers the worst of both worlds: stagnation with inflation. In short, the service sector is neither booming nor busting — it’s just awkwardly loitering in the hallway, waiting for someone else to make the first move.

In a nutshell, the ISM Services PMI flatlined in September, signaling an economy stuck in neutral with falling demand, rising costs, and policymakers’ worst headache: stagflation lite.

As the Washington plutocracy polishes its nepotism into a governing philosophy and marches proudly toward its digital gulag, it was only natural that the next chapter of “freedom” would be written in blockchain code.

At Token 49 in the “Lion City” of Singapore, young Zach Witkoff — dutiful son of U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff — joined forces with Donald Copperfield Junior to unveil their grand vision: the tokenization of the 47 family’s real estate empire.

Tokenization — the latest buzzword polished by the Malthusian Bankers at BlackRock — is being sold as the next frontier of finance: a world where every asset, from real estate to your grandmother’s teapot, lives on a blockchain under the watchful eye of “improved governance.”

In reality, it’s less about innovation and more about digital domination — the first brick in a global financial panopticon where dissenters risk seeing their wallets frozen for thinking the wrong thoughts.

Welcome to the brave new world of tokenized obedience: you will own nothing, and your assets will be “safely” managed by your digital overlords.

The self-styled “Peacemaker-in-Chief” — who in reality looks more like the “Warmonger-in-Chief” — just moved the world one step closer to the brink of World War III. After greenlighting long-range missiles to the high-heeled “president” of Ukraine, he’s now authorized U.S. intelligence to hand Kyiv the targeting coordinates for strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. In other words: Washington picks the targets, Ukraine pulls the trigger — but somehow, this isn’t “direct war.” The neocon fantasy is simple: cripple Russia’s energy lifeline, watch it collapse, and carve it up like a pie. The nightmare scenario is equally simple: Moscow retaliates, U.S. debt-fuelled markets implode, and America’s own Wall Street becomes fair game.

By enabling strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, Donald Copperfield isn’t just playing proxy war — he’s crossing into direct conflict, and the Malthusian warmongers of Washington seem oblivious to the boomerang effect.

What they unleash on Russia can just as easily be turned on the U.S. and Europe. Moscow has been restrained, but no country will sign a “peace” that amounts to its own economic strangulation. Yet neocon strategists, high on short-term triumphalism and allergic to strategic thinking, still believe they can starve Russia of energy and carve it up without consequence. Even editorial cheerleaders call for Tomahawks as if retaliation were a fairy tale. Unless Washington’s decision-makers purge the echo chamber around them, the West isn’t just courting escalation — it’s sleepwalking toward the end of its own order.

There’s no universe in which China allows Russia to collapse — the Neocons have already ensured that Moscow and Beijing are now bound by survival, not convenience. Add Iran and North Korea to that alliance, and you’ve got the makings of a geopolitical Hydra, born from Washington’s own arrogance. These so-called strategists — the same Neocons who mistake provocation for policy — have cornered the West into a four-front dilemma: Europe, the Middle East, Taiwan, and Korea/Japan. It’s an impossible equation, written by people who think in PowerPoint slides instead of consequences.

In true Cold War theatre, the Western Warmongers have managed to turn Venezuela into the new geopolitical piñata while pretending history doesn’t rhyme. Cuba cheers from the sidelines, Russia ships troops and sanctions workarounds, China patches Maduro’s power grid, Iran smiles and offers “help,” and everyone else quietly wonders when the first long-range missile will land in D.C. — because what goes around, comes around. As Donald Copperfield blunders into a South American minefield, apparently oblivious to the region’s debt-laden tinderbox and its record of anti-American backlash. Venezuela, sitting on the planet’s largest oil reserves, isn’t Saddam’s Iraq; it’s a powder keg with global backers, and yet the Neocons still play checkers on a chessboard, blissfully unaware that Russia, China, and company are waiting to turn their “regime change” fantasy into a nightmare.

Keith Starmer, a proud Davos Malthusian puppet, is rolling out Britain’s latest step into the digital gulag: the mandatory BritCard. Marketed as “enhanced security,” it’s really a smartphone-stored ID tracking your name, birthdate, nationality, and even your address—because who needs privacy when the state can have total control?
Say goodbye to physical documents and hello to living in the app.
