Paul Gauguin Road in Tahiti 1891 • Trump To Impose 30% Tariffs On Mexico, European Union (ZH) • Tariff Windfall Drives Surprise $27 Billion US
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle July 13 2025]$121 billion in additional costs. When were the contracts for delivery signed? Before the tariffs were imposed? if so then a reduction in profits, perhaps even losses. Were the tariffs paid out of operating capital or by leveraging debt?
as the goods with increased prices move through the market what percentage of the $121 billion will be borne by increased consumer debt? Have wages or disposable income increased? Has inflatiion been substantially reduced? The answer of course is YES, before the tariffs were imposed. – timing the measurement is everything –
Sub-Prime mortgage redux with trade as the target. Debt that cannot be repaid as an asset.
of course you can be sure that the bonds and equities markets will be totally unaffected. You can also be sure that a reduction in the volume of trade will not result in reduction in supply with no impact on demand. Believe it or not, diminishing marginal returns are still a reality.
You can fool some of the people all of the time. Quite easy to fool those who are paid to be fooled.economies and trade are marathons not sprints
watch the Simon Dixon X post above again – disregard the last sentenceSorry, fearmongers. The fiscal figures have improved significantly for three consecutive months.”
Bond market.
Yes we suck, but we suck LESS BAD than Europe, the other major market. Yes, Yellen traitorously left us with a few trillion to roll over shortly, but they are positioning rates to drop another point to do that.
And what is “The US Dollar Dropping”? Against WHAT? The USDX is like mostly Euro, as I say all the time. The others are the UK Pound, a nation sure in great shape. And Canada, Britain light, which decided to get monkey-hammered for no reason anyone can tell. So: No.
And against GOLD? $3,370. Silver continues up from major breakout at $36 to a previous high of $50, still hundreds of dollars too low. ($3,370 / 16:1 = $210)
The major cornerstones of financial change, moving away from British extraction to “The American System” are put in place and oddly seem not to have even short-term costs. That’s how easy it was to fix all along. Let’s throw the guy over the cliff who fixed it. While we sat on the couch and criticized, he didn’t fix it ENOUGH.
Trump 45: Yes, one thing we can know is that it kept all this Epstein in the news. And I have been watching Gates which stands out as his operation being pre-planned. This would be a good use, but remains to be seen.
P.S. August the market is in danger again. But Trump isn’t when they pass the budget. He can arrest all Congress. Everybody just said they were mad he didn’t go after the Epstein list, right? What you complaining about? You wanted us NOT to arrest people involved? Make up your minds. Etc. “I can’t believe you people are still talking about that.” — Trump. Well if you insist!
Again, to me this doesn’t have to do with him, it has to do with US.
“My modest hope is that perhaps a better accounting of his corruption for the historical record will destroy Brennan’s reputation forever, which shouldn’t be a heavy lift.”
That’s not even worth bothering. If he doesn’t go to jail as a bad example to others, don’t trouble yourself.
“• The Democratic Party Civil War Just Escalated Big Time (Margolis)It sounds like we’re being a little over the top when we say the DSA isn’t American. But LITERALLY, as Conservatives do, the autists. Socialism is literally illegal under the Constitution; not expressly, but at each point where we “Cannot take property without due process” etc, it would be struck down. Such that installing any platform of Socialism is, in fact anti-American. I actually don’t want it to be that way, and they are free to have their party and speak their opinions, but reality is.
“In one extreme blue pocket, they manage to get an extreme candidate elected. And then draw the conclusion they should do that all over the country.”
Yes, it’s as if the Republicans are directing them: Their major weakness is to be on the fringe and unable to field, say, a pan-American moderate for a case like the Presidency. The more outliers they have, the worse the party does even in say, Iowa, which is why both sides are happy to air-time AOC, etc. They are the cause of the constant Red upwelling.
What’s odd is that he’s really an actor, a LARPer, like AOC is. He was raised rich like Greta, to take a fully performative role it seems. All Socialists I’ve met are upper class, never the poor, telling the working people what to do like Mommy.
“Carlson was asked whether he believes US nationals can pledge allegiance to two countries at once. The former Fox News categorically denied the notion of double loyalty. “I think anybody… who serves in a foreign military should lose his citizenship”
Two different questions: can an American serve as a foreign mercenary? Yeah, that seems totally too far. But can they claim to be American after instead taking the step of swearing allegiance to a foreign nation? No. I agree with that problem, odd as it is, even though oaths mean nothing to people. There has to be a line. And of course that goes double for Israel, as they have proven to be bad actors on this issue.
“..it’s extremely obvious to anyone who watches that this guy had direct connections to a foreign government. Now, no one’s allowed to say that that foreign government is ISRAEL ..”

Criminal investigation into Brennan, along with former FBI Director James Comey, for possible wrongdoing related to the Trump campaign-Russia collusion probe, including making false statements to Congress.
No, I’m not under the impression Brennan will end up in prison, where he likely belongs, or even see an indictment.
The statute of limitations has largely sunset.
And even if they hadn’t, the notion there will be any reckoning is remote.———-
Copilot contributionThe US has never signed the 1989 UN Mercenary Convention, which aims to ban the recruitment, use, financing, and training of mercenaries. However, since the late 19th century, the US government has been prohibited from employing organizations that offer “quasi-military armed forces for hire,” meaning it cannot use the services of private military contractors such as Blackwater.
The 1989 UN Mercenary Convention, officially titled the International Convention against the Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries, was adopted by the UN General Assembly on 4 December 1989 and entered into force on 20 October 2001.
Purpose and Scope
The Convention aims to criminalize and prevent mercenary activities that threaten sovereignty, self-determination, and international peace. It defines a mercenary as someone who:
– Is specially recruited to fight in armed conflict or commit violent acts
– Is motivated by private gain
– Is not a national or resident of the affected state
– Is not part of the official armed forces
– Has not been sent by a state on official dutyKey Provisions
– Article 2–4: Criminalizes recruitment, use, financing, training, and participation of mercenaries
– Article 5: Obligates states to prohibit mercenary activities and punish offenders
– Article 6–8: Encourages international cooperation and information sharing
– Article 9–12: Establishes jurisdiction and extradition procedures for offendersAdoption and Ratification
Despite its strong language, the Convention has seen limited adoption:
– As of recent counts, fewer than 50 countries have ratified it
– Major military powers and permanent UN Security Council members have not ratified the treaty
You can read the full text on the OHCHR official site, ( https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/international-convention-against-recruitment-use-financing-and ), or explore its legal background via the UN Audiovisual Library. Let me know if you’d like a summary of specific articles or a breakdown of which countries have signed it.

my text did not include the word virusThe Dems really don’t get it. The reason why Mamdani won is because the non-wealthy in NYC are struggling, NYC is essentially a one-party locale, Mamdani addressed many of the issues that folks are struggling with, and it is a big “middle finger” to the establishment Dems who were ignoring the real-lived problems being faced by constituents. Mamdani did not win because NYC loves socialism…but because even the wealthier in NYC are not happy with what the Dems in power have failed to address.
Trying to remake the Dem Party as pro-socialist, top to bottom, is not going to revive the D party in the long run. (It will create some short term excitement.) It is the upper classes that have been monetarily supporting the D party for many years now…once they figure out that socialism will cause them to lose their economic standing, they will no longer support it.
Government run grocery stores…what a lark! Filled with highly processed food, like “American cheese,” no doubt! I wouldn’t mind government policies that foster cooperative grocery stores — that could be very interesting. I.e. some tax breaks for essential businesses that are wholly owned cooperatively by members of the local community, to help them get going, etc.
I enjoy Tucker Carlson’s interviews…but he would make a terrible lawyer because his views are driven by principled passions and he says things on impulse that are driven by emotion which, upon measured reflection, are obvious odds with his own principles.
To whit: stripping citizenship from someone who enlists in the army of a foreign government. Um. Well, perhaps if the foreign government were in a direct war with the US then a case could be made and considered, but, otherwise, people do all sorts of foolish things. And they pay the consequences of their decisions. Enlisting in the military of a foreign government is not traitorous…it is more in the range of “colossally stupid” in my book. And…RFK Jr’s own son did this, due to strongly held personal convictions, about 3 years ago.
Strange that the Core Demographic of the Demonrats is college education white women that as Fake Feminists could care less about women’s sports and sit on their hands while a conservative man saves the day for female athletes.
College education white women obviously never liked or played sports as teenagers or if they did they weren’t very good at it. Most accomplished female athletes must be conservatives hence who cares about women’s sports as a Demonrat?
Apparently no one gets a pass on passports, except illegal immigrants the Demonrats brought in to tip the votes in their favor.

No Socialism is perfectly legal everywhere.
ANYONE can buy 40 acres, 400 acres, 4,000 acres, 40,000 acres — together — and then live communally on that land. ANYONE can do it. GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
They WON’T do it. The one thing they will never, ever do is just go ahead and do it and leave everyone alone.
They’ve even got so many trust fund babies and champagne communists now that they could just secretly keep pouring money into the project AT A LOSS to “prove” how “well” it works. The most obviously workable lie?
But no sir, that does not compute, it is all about making OTHER PEOPLE do stuff, taking OTHER PEOPLE’S stuff. Us faking communism Really Being Tried and “working” OURSELVES?!!?!?!? No sir. Does not compute.
They cannot even try genuinely faking it!
And when a teacher hears that her entire class thinks Socialism is the best system, the only one that works — every single class member a believer — and she makes the grade system socialist, everyone gets an F.
Were they oppressed in class? no, they had the same resources as when they were passing
Did they lack “access” to “resources”? no, they had the same resources as when they were passing
Was privilege getting in the way? no, they had the same resources as when they were passing
but the entire class dropped to an F
did they not believe enough? saboteurs? evil capitalists secretly thwarting them?
NO every single class member was a true believer. Hardly anyone was flunking before. EVERYONE flunked once they adopted a socialist grading system.
No one can explain to me how, in this class, real socialism wasn’t being tried.
But anyway, anyone can freely share their shit freely with anyone else. It is totally legal. Just DO it. There’s MILLIONS of people now in the US who thinks Socialism is the Best but they refuse to do any Socialism while pointing at historical Socialists saying they weren’t trying socialism. Won’t pick up and carry their own socialism even!

It was trump, not bondi and her doj team, that said to the world “are you still talking about that epstein guy?”
trump shut it down, no list, no more talking about epstein…never happened. Then turmp went full retard claiming it was all a made up story by the Dems.
…
RIM/ TAE went full retard at the beginning of covid in 2020 claiming-
– lockdowns are beneficial and necessary (wrong)
– masks are effective and will stop transmission (wrong)
– testing was critical and everyone should be relentlessly “testing” (wrong again)RIM/ TAE going full retard again continuing to glorify trump as savior and gods gift to humanity?
Yep, ubetcha.“How you acted during covid is exactly who you are”

Lethal or Contagious
May 17, 2020“We will need to test everyone at least once a week, and twice on Sundays. And isolate whoever tests positive. It didn’t need to come to this, but we all screwed up something awful, except for a very small number of countries and societies.
Or we reach herd immunity, but that is merely a fickle concept used mostly for cattle and may never come either. Or only at the cost of millions of lives.
It’s obviously much easier to join the crowd and claim Bill Gates wants to force vaccinate us all, and the elites want to enslave us; and no doubt there’s a few psychos with crazy dreams. Or might it be better to wear a face mask in public for a bit and get tested, or test yourself, until the virus is gone?”
Maybe you should take responsibility for your own lives, not blame whatever goes wrong on others. Maybe that’s a higher degree of freedom than saying we can’t do anything about it anyway, so let 50 million people die as long as I am free to go to McDonalds.
You might want to look up “freedom” in a dictionary.
(TAE- you might want to look up “retard” in the dictionary?)
“And you would be playing into Bill Gates’s hands to boot if you do that, provided you believe that he wants to depopulate the planet. How’s that work, he’s your bogeyman, him and the elites, and therefore you give them what they want? They want to depopulate, so you say sure, let the virus roam, while you could prevent it from doing that?”
…
Lockdowns, testing, masks- had zero beneficial efficacy on preventing covid transmission.
Screw you freedoms right TAE?trump, politicians, Israel running a child rape blackmail operation, while trump was buddies with epstein and maxwell… screw your right to know truth and freedom, protect trump at all costs right?
