The Shitshow Macro Weekly Prep Podcast is out for Mon 5.20.24

Bullet points below, discussion available for premium subscribers

Domestic Politics:
-A new documentary and interview by former Border Patrol Special Agent JJ Carrell makes the illegal immigration grift seem more like an organized crime RICO case. He claims that USGOV funding agencies have told him that there is one NGO called Jewish Family Services that has hundreds of subcontractors under it, and is essentially ordering the USGOV what to do.
--This funding agent says he will cut a check for $600mm to JFS that will only last months, and then the various subcontractors will also call asking for $5mm or $10mm at a time. His orders are to cut the checks without questions, vetting, or tracking, and the funds for the subs are sent to the same bank account as the prime contractor, which is not normal. I’ll include a link to his interview in the show notes.

-On the same note, a report came out this week that illegal immigrants are being given special visas if they are robbed due to “pain and suffering,” so a new indictment was charged this week stating that dozens of robberies in Chicago were illegals paying people to rob them in order to get these visas.

-In political news, according to polling released on Sunday, 14% of voters in swing states of Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania who said they backed Biden in 2020 will not do so in 2024.

-Biden spoke at the graduation ceremony for Moorehouse College this weekend. If you missed the videos of the empty streets in Atlanta because nobody wanted to see his motorcade pass by, the graduation ceremony was the same - tons of empty chairs, and graduates turned their back on Biden when he began to speak.

-ANTIFA-aligned groups have announced a planned nationwide blockade for July 4th of all days. Is that the kickoff for this year’s riot season?

War/Military:
-Dominic Collins, the ex-aide to former UK PM Boris Johnson - who is the one who pressured Ukraine to stop negotiating with RUS thereby leading to war - has a banger of an interview that came out this weekend. I’ll include a section in the show notes, but the noscript says it all: “Ukraine’s a corrupt shit hole that doesn’t matter at all.”

-Victoria Nuland was given time to grace the airwaves with her ugly mug this weekend on ABC to call for direct strikes against Russia. May I be the first to nominate her to ride the bombs in like in Dr. Strangelove?

-An armed coup was attempted in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) today, and reporting is saying that 3 Americans were involved (their passports were displayed along with them being held by authorities).
--They attempted to seize the Presidential palace but were rebuffed and fled into Kinshasa. Reports are that the planning was via a Congolese rebel leader who lives in the US, but the planning was not very good - the whole affair lasted about 2 ½ hrs before it was stopped and those who weren’t killed were rolled up. This will evolve, especially who the Americans involved were.

-The US State Department bragged via their official X account on Sunday that they’ve been given the full authority to seize RUS assets to be used to fund UKR. Unfortunately, they are stupid enough to do it, which may be the final piece to foreign capital fleeing the US markets, at least a sizeable chunk of it.

Markets/economics:
-China unleashed the world’s largest unloading of US debt (USTs) in history last week. If the Fed does actually start cutting rates, this could be very bad. Central banks have been shying away from UST auctions, with much of the slack picked up by private investors - who are only doing so for the interest rates, which will decline if rates are cut.

-In similar news, Thomas Massie introduced an End the Fed bill last week to end the Federal Reserve. You guys know how I feel about The Fed personally.
--They may be doing battle with the rainbow jihad forces behind the EU right now (according to Luongo and with a pretty good level of proof points that add credence), but still…would like to see them gone whenever we emerge from this Shitshow.

-MacroEdge released its national unemployment radar, which now shows:
--27 states in a labor market downturn
--13 states have a tight job market
--10 states are on the watch list

-Auto debt hit a record $1.6tn at the end of Q1 this year, with 1 in 12 auto loans in delinquency. This is the highest level since 2011.

-Silver began breaking out this weekend, even outperforming gold. Everyone knows the gold bugs, but there are quite a few silver bugs out there who think this is the beginning of something big.

-The latest data out from Redfin shows that median home sale prices are down 11% from their peak in 2022.

-The WSJ released a graph this weekend that included a chart that the media has tried its very hardest to keep hidden/gaslit, but it can’t be done anymore. Since not everyone goes to the show notes, I’ll put this doozy right here (doesn't display on X)

Business:
-Amazon recently bought a campus in Pennsylvania that’s powered by a nuclear power plant. The crazy thing? It’s the 6th largest nuke plant in the US, and the Amazon plant takes up ⅓ of its power output. People clamoring for AI still have no concept just how unprepared our energy capacity is for that. --One search on ChatGPT takes 10x the power of a Google Search. No or reduced fossil fuels = no AI. Hell, no massive energy infrastructure increase means no AI (hey, whatever happened to that +$1 trillion Infrastructure Bill that we spent on Regime pork?).

Geopolitics:
-A helicopter carrying the Iranian president Rasi and several very high-level government officials went down on Sunday in Azerbaijan. I’ve spoken about this area before, why it’s important, and why he’s likely there (oil, swamp, and nefarious funding nexus). However, this is just the most recent of a very interesting string of world leaders with potential assassination attempts.
--As of this writing, the search crews have been called off for the night despite knowing the GPS coordinates of the area. The temps had plummeted to 6 Celsius, and apparently, the place where the helo went down is prone to wolves and bears hunting at night - even several search parties went missing.

-Other world leaders with recent attempts (not saying this was an assassination attempt, but it’s likely) each have friendly relations with Russia at the very least:
--May 7: reported attempt on MBS of Saudi Arabia
--May 14: reports of a thwarted coup in Turkey
--May 15: assassination attempt on Slovakian PM Fico (more on that)
--May 16: the arrest of an individual who threatened Serbian President Vucic
--Add to this the armed coup attempt in DRC on Sunday

-Notably, a high-alert warning went out across Iran as soon as news broke that the helo had gone down. This seems to indicate the Regime either expected it was an assassination attempt that would lead to a greater attack, or that public dislike of the regime would lead to a revolt

-News also broke that Slovakian authorities have now expanded their search in the attempted assassination of Fico. Initially called a lone wolf attack, authorities were alerted by foreign and domestic intelligence that a group may have been behind the attempt. --While no mention of the group specifically was made, they did indicate the shooter’s social media footprint was erased externally within 2 hours of the shooting.

-Ukrainian president Zelensky’s term expires today on May 20, and a report out in the Economist this weekend says that makes him prime for an internal coup.
--1 in 12 Ukrainians no longer support him (I imagine the number is much higher), and with his cancellation of elections and becoming an illegitimate ruler today (per the rules of a democratic government), we may see attempts to remove him very soon.
-In “the US economy is strong and robust” news, the city of Oakland has started replacing traffic lights with stop signs due to the wiring from lights being stolen to sell the copper wiring too often.

-Argentinian president Milei arrived to roaring applause to give a speech in Spain this weekend. Millei has shown that even the worst economic situations can be turned around by “cutting the fat,” and it seems his ideas are gaining a lot of popularity.

Social dynamics/societal/culture war/Legal:
-Another detransitioner’s lawsuit has been ruled as allowed to go forward in North Carolina this week. The US is the only nation continuing forward on the path of transing kids, and it’s only debilitating lawsuits that will stop that at this point.

Conspiracy-y:
-Joe Rogan had actor Terrance Howard on his show recently, and I listened as I did my Sunday house cleaning. --Terrance claims that everything we have been taught about science and physics is wrong based on assumptions made when we didn’t know much about the universe, and others that were put forward by scientists who didn’t want to be killed by the church when they were in the habit of killing scientists (and those theories were never later tested).

I know what you’re thinking, because I did, too - what in the hell does an actor know about physics? A lot, apparently, and he has the patents (including the first version of Virtual Reality that all VR/AR tech has been built off of), a completely new type of flying device/method, a fuel source for interspace travel, and quite a few other things.

If you’re a science-minded person, take the time to listen. He may not be correct on everything, but I can tell you that I believe he is on at least some of them, and at the very least he’s willing to challenge assumptions, test theories, and attack sacred cows that nobody has questioned for a very long time:

White Pill:
-I hate to use a death as this week’s White Pill…but I’m gonna. The Obama and Biden teams have logged a lot of man-hours doing dirty back room deals to put Iran in the driver’s seat in the Middle East. I’ve continued checking in on the helo crash as I’ve written today’s show, and it looks like those dudes are dead.

This means the Obama/Biden spies in the White House just lost their masters, and hopefully that avenue is completely closed off. If we get an organic popular uprising or revolution in Iran that overthrows that regime, I’ll be a happy camper.

And if that happens, you may be surprised at just how many problems here domestically magically go away.

Implications:
-As per the list we covered earlier, there seem to be a lot of world leaders having attempts on their lives. Given the relationships they have with Russia, it’s not hard to imagine US or NATO fingerprints on those. Turnabout is fair game, and this could get very, very ugly.

-Whoever was behind the coup attempt in DRC had piss-poor planning, and the 3 Americans caught in it may lead to us being kicked out of even more African nations.

-China dumping the most USTs in history and economic deterioration here on the homefront - stay frosty.

The Weekly Read (Monday):
Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything by Ervin Laszlo

Macro takeaways/lessons from the week:
-Russia and China getting closer, with assassination attempts of Russian-aligned leaders, Iranian helo crashes, and China offloading USTs. Things are about to get very squirrely, my friends.
