The Shitshow Macro Weekly Wrapup for July 19, 2024 is out:
-Masks Off Part 3 and The Attempt On Trump have been out all week - both are quite pertinent to this week’s shenanigans
Domestic:
-Removing all emotion from the subject, it seems as if the Trump attempt playing field is being purposely muddied with bullshit.
--Massive put options the day before claim (debunked in several ways)
--This claim is still making the rounds, but @themarketswork debunked the math a few days ago.
--3 overseas bank accounts (likely real)
--Steam account turned out to be a fake
--Second shooter on the water tower (waiting to see if there is a “there there”)
--FBI executive in the crowd behind Trump (debunked)
--CNN has only live streamed 1 Trump rally this year - guess which one? (real)
--The camera required to capture the photo of the bullet trail was not a standard camera, and not on a standard setting (confirmed by war correspondent and former Green Beret @michaelyon). This one’s real.
-To the contrary, it now seems as if much of the team that day weren’t even USSS agents but DHS HSI investigators - which, interestingly enough, was a unit that had undercover Feds all over the Capitol on J6
-Crowdstrike blue-screened pretty much the entire world’s technology today
--More on Crowdstrike and their RussiaGate Hoax participation in the pod.
-Another great article on X was dropped today by @BX_on_X regarding the Accelerationists. If you’ve listened to these pods and read The Attempt on Trump, you know I’ve been trying to get a piece on these creeps out for some time.
--BX is who turned me onto this issue, so she’s the best one to follow to understand just how bad yet unspoken and dangerous this is. Article in the show notes.
--And yes, the more we learn, the more it seems that the Trump shooter was tied to at least one of these groups, most likely as a mark (patsy) but perhaps not.
-Trafalgar and Emerson both have released polling that has Trump ahead by more than the MOE in swing states, and up by 10 in AZ. If you are a Trump supporter, don’t get complacent.
-To that end, MSM-based Information Operations abound about whether Biden will stay in or drop out of the race.
-The 9th Circuit of Appeals in AZ today upheld that the state must require proof of citizenship for voting in elections.
-In Colorado, a judge ruled in favor this week of an elections integrity group that was sued by the NAACP and others for canvassing to check the accuracy of voting records and totals.
--Their canvasing discovered between 210,091 and 462,201 incorrect vote tallies based on extrapolation.
--The USEIP canvassing claims to have found evidence in Colorado of:
--Fake voters
--Lost votes
--Illegal votes
--Voter data manipulation
--Voter database manipulation
--Notably, CO is where Tina Peters is being charged by the state as an election clerk who simply wanted to do her job and maintain records of the 2020 vote, as required by law.
--Article in the show notes.
-The USPS was caught sharing customer address information with tech giants including Meta and LinkedIn. Article in the show notes.
-EcoRadicals Climate Defiance announced this morning that they shut down the entrances to the DNC convention. Reaping and sowing, reaping and sowing.
-The DOJ brought charges yesterday against the largest provider of housing for “unaccompanied” migrant children for sexual abuse and harassment of the children in its care.
--This came just 3 weeks after a Federal judge granted the Biden DOJ’s request to lift a 27-year-old policy requiring HHS to provide special oversight of these facilities.
-Hulk Hogan brought Hulkamania (rebranded Trumpamania) to the RNC convention last night. I don’t care what your politics are - this is the timeline that I’m here for, BROTHER!!!
War/Military:
-RUS had 3 significant breakthroughs of the UKR lines this week, including one that puts them on the main highway to Keeeeeeev, and another that puts them nearly within artillery range of a significant strategic area.
-Masks Off Part 3 and The Attempt On Trump have been out all week - both are quite pertinent to this week’s shenanigans

X (formerly Twitter)
The Cultural Tutor (@culturaltutor) on X
I've written a book, and you can get it here:
-On that note, Trump and Zelensky had a phone call today (Friday).
--Wonder if Vindman will “leak” something that’s proven absolutely wrong if the trannoscript will ever be released, leading to a theater production-level UKR Impeachment Hoax v2.0
--Where is good old CIA “analyst” Eric Ciaramella these days?
-The IDF smoked a senior Hezzie leader from the elite Radwan Force in Southern Lebanon this week.
-The American consulate in Tel Aviv was hit with an explosive drone Thursday evening.
Markets/economics:
-@LukeGromen noted on X today that the sharp selloff in gold today seems to be a repeating pattern. His post:
Sharp sell-off in gold on a Friday once again, after China's gone home for the weekend.
3rd or 4th time I've seen this happen since early April, if I recall correctly. All on Fridays.
Previous times were "sound & fury, signifying nothing."
Let's watch.
-356 companies filed for bankruptcy this year, which is higher than both the pandemic and anything from the past 13 years. *Note: Before Biden’s Brain Bumble, this was the main reason he was already losing massive support. It’s the economy, stupid.
-Continuing jobless claims rose to 1.9mm yesterday, the highest since 2021. It’s the economy, stupid.
-China dumped an all-time high of $42.6 bn in US securities in May.
Business:
-One of the key investment tools that I like to look for is insider buying, selling, or shares held (along with founders who still have control of the company in at least some fashion).
--Just putting it out there that Bezos was selling recently, and now NVDA CEO Huang has reportedly sold $380mm of NVDA shares this week.
--Again, not personal financial advice, just putting it out there.
-We covered Crowdstrike ($CRWD) in the domestic section, but I had several programmers and software engineers reach out to me today to note how ludicrous and “JV” this ordeal was.
--Given that I had friends also grounded during important work travel, I’ll add a thread in the show notes from former Google software engineer (and whistle-blower) Jack Vorhees about the egregious f- up…if that is indeed what it was.
-Saks Fifth Avenue in San Francisco is pivoting to an appointment-only model because of all of the shoplifting and robberies. But tell us more about how crime is down in CA, Gavin.
-Keurig/Green Mountain announced this week that they will lay off around 400 employees. This is one of the “downstream effects” that you will hear me talk about.
-As reported by @MacroEdge, SunPower Corp. plunged to an all-time low after the solar company told dealers it would no longer support new installations and was halting shipments.
-Mercury Marine has scheduled 1,700 workers for layoff amid a sales slump.
-Tender Greens and its parent company One Table Restaurant Brands filed for bankruptcy. Bearish on AWFL wine mom $30 vegan-adjacent salad West Side eateries.
-A report came out this week showing that Charles Schwab was deep underwater on many of its holdings, and their stock has been getting absolutely hammered since.
Health:
-The media won’t tell you this (for ad revenue reasons that I’m sure we’re all aware of by this point), but it’s been proven that antidepressants don’t actually treat or cure the thing they’re sold/marketed/claimed to treat, as it’s been found to not be a chemical imbalance.
--In fact, 56% of patients stop taking them due to:
--A 255% increase in suicidal tendencies
--59% of males incur erectile dysfunction
--30% become bipolar
--That’s not even diving into the +90% of school shooters who are on SSRIs but we’re not allowed to talk about and the media & gun control lobby will never, ever, ever mention it.
--Article in the show notes.
-A group of Japanese scientists have used a specialized biopsy technique to prove that the mRNA shots are causing cases of deadly heart failure to surge around the world.
Geopolitics:
-Argentina’s economy has now expanded for the first time since Javier “Afuera” Millei took office. Bullish on Argentina. If you’re a fan of Latin women…whoo boy that’s a great place to be right now.
--Wonder if Vindman will “leak” something that’s proven absolutely wrong if the trannoscript will ever be released, leading to a theater production-level UKR Impeachment Hoax v2.0
--Where is good old CIA “analyst” Eric Ciaramella these days?
