Rich Men North of Richmond
Maui, MH370, Covid23 & Legal Combat
The surprise breakout song of the summer is by Oliver Anthony called ‘Rich Men North of Richmond.’ With over 25 million+ downloads, the audience Oliver is singing to comprises a huge part of our country.
We live in the most abundant time in the most abundant country in history.
However, this abundance, which is evident everywhere, has been paradoxically constricted and squandered by the perverted actions of the ‘elite’ managerial class. Our nation, once a shining beacon, has devolved into a farce characterized by degeneracy, corruption and relentless extraction, marking the culmination of several deteriorative cycles.
Our future narrative—whether it ends in the embrace of Universal Basic Income, a tilt towards communism, the shadow of modern-day digital slavery, or a resurgence of freedom, decentralization, and truth—rests squarely on our shoulders.
What’s clear to any sane observer is that our government and institutions are failing across the board. The CDC, FDA, USDA, FBI, military, VA…all of them. Failing.
It is an Empire of Lies. From start to finish.
Oliver Anthony’s voice speaks to that spiritual void and disconnect.
Here’s the reaction that some ‘Democrats’ had when listening to the song. What’s clear, is that Biden or anyone else on the Democratic side, be it Newsom, Michelle or Kamala represent the elite cabal, and have nothing in common with average Americans nor do they care one iota to represent them in this Republic of ours.
At some point, everyday Americans irrespective of race, gender and religion have the potential to unite under a different banner and easily elect a candidate for the Presidency. With the exception of Trump in this cycle, it’s unclear whether there will be an outsider candidate, and not much clarity whether Trump will even be a free man come election time (or whether this will matter).
The God’s truth is we deserve better.
I’d like to see Vivek & RFK Jr. continue their momentum, but will support whomever ends up the Republican candidate. Trump has all the populist momentum but has failed to execute in nearly every way. Then again, no candidate has ever faced the obstacles and persecution thrown at him. Alarmingly, the stakes are too high to fail again. We saw mass hysteria in the legacy media and ruling structure over a border wall for $5B, but don’t blink an eye when sending $150B to Ukraine (while simultaneously watching Hawaii burn).
The insanity and stark corruption of our current system is one of the chief reasons people still underestimate the connection that Donald Trump had with the average American (despite the most overwhelming 24/7 8 year all-media blitzkrieg to change that opinion).
As Raheem Kassam recently noted, “I think we keep underestimating how much people carry Donald Trump in their hearts... I'm not just talking about politically, I'm talking about culturally... They see their towns & communities going in certain ways & they think yeah Trump was talking about this...."
No less than Dave Chapelle (far from a Conservative) brilliantly captured the above in his SNL monologue that had plenty of nonsensical fluff, but was also devastatingly insightful on the below:
Like ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’, this brief clip speaks to the overwhelming majority of Americans.
Anyone over the age of 30, knows that it no longer makes sense. They may not have the words or political intelligence to explain it, but there’s a deep seated, intuitive feeling of ‘wrongness’ across the board.
Whether it’s watching politicians go into office making $200K a year and walk out years later worth $100M+; or
Being told to stay home and sacrifice everything while those telling you stay put dine at the French Laundry and throw elaborate parties while never missing a paycheck; or
Being told ‘The Weather’ is their fault, and they shouldn’t eat meat or drive while watching politicians and celebrities traveling in private jets and superyachts everywhere; or
Being told the economy is stronger than ever and inflation is 4% when it costs twice as much to fill up your tank, 3 times as much to shop for groceries for your family; or
Being fired or castigated for believing men shouldn’t play women’s sports, or that kids shouldn’t make life altering, genital mutilations under peer pressure from mentally ill parents and media.
There are 100 other examples I can give off the top of my head. With the exception of the 10% of the country that sees politics as their religion and will defend their side no matter what….most people know there is something deeply, DEEPLY wrong with our country, and the spirit and soul of its countrymen.
‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ struck a chord with people enveloped in that sickness that crosses the political aisle, race or gender.
The politician or leader that can harness the American frustration with trying harder than ever, and failing to keep up while being mocked by politicians and leaders…..will win the most overwhelming electoral victory of our time.
So far, Trump is the only politician that came close to capturing this discontent, and he did it despite his defects.
This ‘populist’ rising is a global phenomenon. We’re seeing it in Argentina, France, Sweden, El Salvador and elsewhere.
The corrupt cabal at home is terrified of it, and that’s why they’ve mobilized the entire Deep State, Mockingbird Media and Cathedral against stopping Trump and any other candidate that dares to question The Narrative.
It’s why they will do everything they can to fan the flames of war, or actual flames, or re-start the pandemic madness if they feel like they are continuing to lose control.
***************
The blueprint is simple to restore our nation. However, the execution is difficult as those in power are fighting tooth and nail to preserve the current extraction and corruption. The short list below would be a good start:
1. Secure Borders with strict Immigration Limits (and deportation of those who arrived in the last 3 years illegally during this pre-planned invasion).
2. Zealously defend the 1st and 2nd Amendment.
3. End crony capitalism
4. Decentralized, freedom money. Remove state control and transition away from Central Banking. End CBDCs before they get started.
5. Remove the current student loan system.
6. Stop poisoning the food, water & air.
7. Expand fossil fuels and drilling.
8. School Choice
9. Medical Autonomy
Election Integrity.
RFK Jr. and Vivek have been the two primary candidates that have been the most effective at framing and pushing back on this madness.
Recently, Vivek tweeted the below.
How far have things deteriorated that the above statement, all missives that used to be considered ‘common sense’, now passes for ‘radical’ in our corrupt, sick society?
Vivek’s declaration above is also a solid foundation for rebuilding our Republic, and its heartening to hear a political candidate actually make sense. It’s been almost 7 years since I’ve seen that. In 2016 and 2017, Trump was dead on when he tried to build a southern border wall, reshaped the judiciary, overhauled the tax code, defeated ISIS and punished China for trade violations.
Since that time, not a single national candidate (including Trump which is why he’s lost every single political and legal contest since then) has put together an intelligent, rational thought on governance (including most notably shutting down a $20 trillion economy and locking people in their homes and mandating they receive an experimental, inadequately tested injection to counter a modest virus that only affected the very old and very obese while existing therapeutics worked well).
So when it comes to 2024, I’ll take Vivek, RFK Jr., DeSantis or Trump over anyone the Democratic party puts forth.
Because the other choice is as follows:
Never give in, never give up, and never back down.
Trump Georgia
As the Trump Georgia indictment permeates the political landscape, it’s becoming harder and harder to listen to talking heads and Twitter pugilists without openly laughing at the case. There have been so many bad, hot takes in the media and otherwise, that it’s important to revert to first principles here.
Rather than get caught up in the day to day details, here’s a helpful construct for the Georgia case (and frankly, all the others):
None of the things being charged are actual crimes.
If, under a novel interpretation of the law they are considered crimes, the other side did the exact same thing, or worse.
That’s it. That’s all you need to know.
Let’s never forget that Hillary Clinton and President Obama conspired with the FBI/DOJ to knowingly manufacture fake evidence (Steele Dossier) in order to illegally obtain FISA wiretaps on a sitting US President and his cabinet to falsely portray Trump as a Russian asset and launch a soft coup. No one has ever been punished or even reprimanded for that crime of sedition.
When the architects responsible for that are convicted, then I’ll start taking charges of Trump pushing for a ‘false slate of electors’ or his ‘co-conspirators’ sending a text to turn on the TV seriously. Especially when there’s dozens of hours of Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams and nearly every MSM channel doing the same.
Trump, as has been his modus operandi since 2017, certainly hasn’t helped himself with his own brand of brash, charismatic idiocy.
After the indictment, Trump announced he would be holding a news conference Monday at Bedminster where he would release ‘irrefutable’ proof that would exonerate him.
While many of his Twitter fans lapped it up, most people who have seen this dog and pony show assume he’s got no actual, useable evidence that will be admissible in court. If he did, he would’ve used it in 2020 to actually win some of those election cases and/or use it pre-indictment to convince Fani Harris not to make a (bigger) fool of herself.
At this stage, what he’s doing is smartly trying to win in the court of public opinion since legally it’s a lot more cloudy whether he can win in a highly Democratic district city of Atlanta, GA.
However, he even flip flopped on this and now says he’ll put it in a legal filing.
The issue is most people think the legal system works like an episode of Law & Order and defendants, even if innocent, can present any ‘evidence’ of that innocence.
Sadly, I’m here to tell you it doesn’t work that way. Defendants are limited in what they can present and judges/prosecutors more often than not conspire to limit what a jury can actually see or hear under the rules of evidentiary procedure dismissing things as hearsay, or irrelevant.
Canceling the Bedminster conference is a mistake. Trump’s best chance of winning is to fight this loudly in the court of public opinion and condition the jury pool. Trump (and conservatives everywhere) should be fully embracing jury nullification. It may be the only way to stop corrupt actors from bringing corrupt cases.
Either way, I’m not that worried about the Georgia case. As I’ve written previously, the only case that I think is a serious issue for Trump is the DC January 6th case. Although composed of made up crimes like ‘Conspiracy against the United States’ (you’re better off charging Megan Rapinoe for her botched penalty kick on this charge than the former President who rightfully believed that there was massive fraud in the election that deprived him of victory), he still has to litigate it in Washington DC - home of a very severe and particular form of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Here are a few additional points to consider in relation to the case. While these details provide ample fodder for pundits, the stark reality is that these events will likely not alter anyone's voting preference for Trump. In fact, it might further solidify his base and draw in some independently-minded conservatives, especially given the perception that there's a concerted effort by powerful entities to undermine him.
However, such challenges do pose potential obstacles in securing a victory in a general election. As recent elections have suggested, there seem to be substantial concerns regarding election integrity. Addressing and rectifying these issues is paramount. The lack of bipartisan initiatives to tackle this problem speaks volumes about the existing corruption within our nation's infrastructure.
Other thoughts around Georgia v. Trump.
Interesting memo from Todd Aldinger, Esq. of the NCLU on why all of the legal cases against Donald J. Trump should fail under the principle that a President cannot be held liable in any way for an action he took while in office unless he is first convicted of impeachment.
Joe Biden’s Burner Account
At least one interesting tidbit that dropped this week courtesy of the House Oversight Committee was the fact that Joe Biden had used a burner email account and several fake names when conducting the corrupt business (that he claims he never did) with his son Hunter.
Fake names and burner email accounts are the kind of evidentiary items that the general public view as indicative of wrongdoing. In standard legal proceedings, prosecutors often spotlight such admissions as foundational to their case.
Burner phones, burner email accounts, fake names, fleeing the scene of a crime or arrest - whether fair or not, these are all prima facie indications of guilt.
The first thought most people rightly had when they saw OJ fleeing arrest in the White Bronco was, “That MF is guilty.”
Same goes for burner email accounts and fake names. Nobody seriously thinks the Bidens aren’t guilty of some of the worst crimes ever committed by a politician. Whether they’re actually impeached, indicted or convicted over these crimes is another matter, as the severely compromised Justice Department has made clear.
This week’s revelations are another nail in the coffin in the court of public opinion.
While we’re on the subject, I’m curious why President Biden is labeled ‘Pedo Pete’ in his son Hunter Biden’s phone? What might that be about?
On the humorous but sad front, Karine Diversity Hire got busted for forgetting to login to Biden’s account before tweeting out the usual gibberish. It’s not like anyone actually thought the Rutabaga-in-Chief whose arch nemesis is a complete, coherent sentence was actually drafting his own tweets. But still, it’s sad to be reminded on the daily what a clusterf*ck this whole Administration is.
The most shocking thing historians will look back on is this is the first time in American history when nearly all of the population was aware that the person supposedly that was President, was in reality not running the country, and just an empty figurehead being manipulated by a dark forces behind the scene. This is the stuff horror movies are made of.
He’s a dead man walking and everyone knows it (politically dead, not brain-dead which has been the case since 2014). But the least CBS could do is not say the quiet part out loud.
Maui
Not going to add much to the Maui situation other than what’s already out there in the news and on Twitter. It’s not out of the question that it was another government false flag to promote the #ClimateChangeHoax or kill or depress its own citizenry through a DEW attack, but it still seems more likely to me it’s just another obvious case of institutional and government failure at every level.
Once electric poles and towers started toppling from the winds, Hawaii Electric should have shut off the power knowing that Maui was already dry as a bone and at risk of fire.
Even worse, the individual in charge of sounding the alarm failed to set off the siren to warn people who were home of the fast moving fire.
Lahaina police also blocked roads refusing to allow people in or out.
And the coup de grace? The idiotic DEI leftist in charge of the water decided not to release it based on some deranged version of ‘equity’.
In essence, this was a perfect, government formed ‘kill box’ for maximum destruction and casualties.
The human and property damage is massive. Citizens and journalists should keep asking questions and hold those in power responsible, but we don’t need to default to some of the more questionable theories to understand the basic underlying lesson - Your government despises you, and no one is coming to save you.
Other Americans still asleep should take that painful lesson to heart.
MH370
I’ll present this one without comment. My first reaction is, “NFW”. However, when considering the multiple angles, potential satellite and drone image ‘confirmations’, and the complex video rendering necessary to produce the below (especially more than a decade ago), I’ll up my probabilistic assessment from a 2% chance to a 15% chance that it happened.
Not high, but the fact that we’re talking about a 15% (or higher) chance that a commercial airliner that has never been recovered may have been encircled by 3 UFOs and then disappeared into a wormhole or other quantum field says a helluva lot about what kind of year 2023 has been.
Montana - Judge Made Law & Idiocy
Where the hell is John Dutton when you need him?
In Montana this week, a court sided with 16 plaintiffs, ages 5 to 22, who alleged the state’s ban on weighing greenhouse gas emissions violated their constitutional right to a “clean and healthful environment.”
Activist judges coming up with novel forms of injury based on scientifically unproven links to forward the #ClimateChange narrative is a dangerous juncture. Fossil fuels are the heart of any prosperous industrial society, and if one thing has become abundantly clear over the last decade, it’s that the hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars ‘invested’ in alternative fuel sources like wind and solar cannot remotely replace the most efficient, energy dense resource out there - oil.
Despite decades of replacement initiatives, wind and solar make up less than 3% of all fuel sources in use today.
The reality of the Montana case if not overturned (it likely will be), is that fossil fuel companies like Exxon will increasingly inherit the mantle of tobacco companies, and be subjected to massive litigation expenses and penalties. If you think filling up your car is expensive now, just wait until oil is at $150 or higher. Massive underinvestment and underutilization/drilling in this sector due to the #ClimateHoax is just one reason I am uber-bullish on this sector while I think most other risk assets will struggle over the next 2-3 years.
Just remember, the real emergency isn’t climate change, it’s the man-made disaster of climate change policies that threaten U.S. prosperity.
New Booster Just in Time!
Good news for the guinea pigs. It’s clear the powers that be are thirsting for a reboot of 2020. Mainstream media is chock full of ‘new variant’ stories and mask mandate redux stories are being circulated everywhere.
You can understand why Democrats would love to see a sequel to Scamdemic2020. After all, it was the unprecedented move of global mail-in balloting that helped facilitate the massive fraud that took place during the 2020 election.
They’d like nothing more than another Covid hoax to keep people home and put mail in balloting back on the table.
For those still addicted to the Covid narrative, Pfizer’s latest and greatest ‘booster’ is on its way. This will be the 8th shot if you’re still following the ‘fully vaccinated’ scorecard. Just two more after this and you get a free Subway Sandwich!
Frankly, there’s a part of me rooting for them to try it again. Anything that further discredits the Cabal and dials up resistance or open revolt is a good thing.
I’m ready to find out if we’re the 300 at Thermopylae, destined to fight bravely but ultimately lose as we did in 2020…or whether this is Adrianapole, and it’s time for the Goths to thrash the Roman Empire.
Jordan Schachtel sums up the farce nicely in the article below:
And here’s fascinating clip from Alex Jones speaking about information he received from a TSA whistleblower about their plans to re-instate masking and other ___ in September/October.
Obama’s Chef
Remember when Barack Obama’s personal chef drowned on his property and the Obamas lied about being there, then refused to identify the 2nd paddle boarder, hid who made the 911 call, the local police left information blank on the police report, and the media ignored the story?
I ‘member!
No worries, I’m sure Massachusetts’ finest are on the case!
It sure is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad month for the President in his unprecedented 3rd term. First his friend and personal chef drowns in a few feet of water with blunt force trauma to the head right outside his house, and then a personal letter of his leaks where he fantasizes about having sex with men on the daily.
Who’s ready for September to get here already?!?
More Economic Bleeding
As I wrote last month, people are finally coming to grips with the trajectory of the 10 year US Treasury bond.
What does this mean? It’s simple. Borrowing costs are going higher EVERYWHERE.
Combine this move up in rates with less overall liquidity (next chart), summer’s low volume, and we should continue to see risk assets bleed for the intermediate future.
Add in student loan payments kicking back in during September, credit card debt at an all time high, and consumer excess savings from the pandemic almost gone and I’d expect a real recession (as opposed to this 18 month mini-recession we’ve been stuck in) begins in the 4th quarter and becomes super obvious in Q12024.
I’m still bullish on the energy sector for the long term (see above Montana case) and still looking for a crypto bull run come mid 2024. The bitcoin halving combined with historical election year liquidity (the Fed and Treasury nearly always turn on the gas pre-election as no one wants to responsible for ‘losing’ an incumbents re-election). End of Q1 2024 start looking to position yourself for the above. Until then, sitting on your hands is still the best approach.
Here’s a sampling of charts and other economic news that’s worth considering.
While at the same time, the US now has $17.1 trillion in household debt….$12 trillion in mortgages….$1.6 trillion in auto loans….$1.6 trillion in student loans….$1 trillion in credit card debt….all of those are all time records.

Cancer Cure?
On the good news front, it appears that scientists at a leading US hospital have made significant progress with, “A ‘cancer-killing pill’ has appeared to ‘annihilate’ solid tumours in early research – leaving healthy cells unaffected. The new drug has been in development for 20 years, and is now undergoing pre-clinical research in the US.
Known as AOH1996, it targets a cancerous variant of a protein called proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). In its mutated form, PCNA is ‘critical’ in the replication of DNA, and the repair of all ‘expanding tumours.’”
Here’s Doomberg with the summary.

Bet you didn’t hear about the ISIS attack by a Syrian refugee in North Dakota this week? A Syrian refugee with an AK47 gunned down 3 police officers before being killed by a 4th in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Strangely, the attack didn’t seem to make any of the major media channels. I wonder why?
Oh yeah, that’s right. Because the gunman was a Muslim refugee and not a white, cisgender Trump supporter.
Little seen, brilliant clip from the Trump era of RFK Jr. schooling a BBC ‘journalist’ on the dangers of vaccinations and toxic heavy metals each dose contains.
Imagine being hot, dehydrated, hungover and sweating having to listen to this wretch after blowing $300K on a 4 year degree. I’m sober and sitting here in 61 degree AC and I’m nauseous…3 min is more than enough to get the gist from this WEF member unironically quoting Trotsky at her Northeastern University commencement speech. We’re all the man in the beige polo who walks out after 10 minutes…
