Let Them Eat Flat Screens

March 27, 2025

Antoinette Marie

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent continually denies that tariffs will become a tax on consumers. When asked if the Trump administration was comfortable with the rising cost of goods, Bessent declared, “the American dream is not ‘let them eat flat screens.’”

“Not at all,” Bessent replied. “What I’m saying is the American dream is not ‘let them eat flat screens.’ If American families aren’t able to afford a home, don’t believe that their children will do better than they are [doing], the American dream is not contingent on cheap baubles from China, it is more than that. And we are focused on affordability, but it’s mortgages, it’s cars, it’s real wage gains.”

If tariffs become more widespread the inflationary effects will cause the affordability of items to rise. No one can afford to repair their homes when lumber costs are soaring. Builders are forced to raise costs on new housing starts, for example, when materials rise in expense. The issue here is not the demand for cheap Chinese goods but the demand for essentials like energy, steel, etc.

Auto prices are at an all-time high. We steered away from pushed EVs on the public but are refusing to permit cheaper Chinese autos in our country. Autos are being targeted hard by tariffs and manufacturing costs have becoming astronomical. China is able to produce cheap autos because manufacturing costs are far less.

Treasuries impact mortgage rates and are largely driven by supply and demand for US government debt. When inflation rises due to tariffs, bondholders demand higher yields to offset the decreased purchasing power. This leads to declining bond prices and rising interest rates across the board, including for mortgages.

As for wages, businesses will face higher operating costs due to tariffs and have less revenue to pass on to employees. Worse, businesses seeking to avoid reciprocal tariffs may simply leave the US.

Politicians should not quote Marie Antoinette. The French people made her pay with her head when the economy turned down. Bessent and others advising Trump fail to understand the broader impact of stifling free trade. Furthermore, these statements are out of touch with the cost of living crisis as informed Americans know that tariffs will impact far more than the cost of a flat screen TV.

Will You Fight for Germany/Ukraine?

March 27, 2025

GermanyUkraineWarPropogandaRecruitment

They are preparing the European public for the inevitable—European troops on the ground in Ukraine. “Will you fight for Germany? None of us wants war, but we already have to prepare for it. How ready are we really?” German magazine Stern states on its latest cover.

Germany has been discussing reintroducing mandatory military service since the war began—a war that was never Germany’s battle but always the obligation and responsibility of the German people. Over a decade ago, Germany knew they were going to fight Russia and Ukraine will be their entryway. I discuss this in detail in my book, “The Plot to Seize Russia” in detail. The West could not simply enter Russia without giving the public a reason for warfare and creating countless fake flags, demonizing its opponent through propaganda, and attempting to weaken its military through a proxy war. We are now embarking on the beginning of the third world war, thanks to the manipulation of the elites in power who have no regard for human life.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said in May 2024 that he was “convinced” that Germany “needs a form of military conscription.” While there is no conscription, Germans are required to register for a potential draft before they turn 18. By June of 2024, I was informed by multiple personal sources that this registration had been extended to include women. One reliable source informed me that her female family friend was sent a notice to register at 59 years old.

The only safe demographic seems to be the 17+ million migrants in Germany. There is a reason that this magazine cover was not forced to feature a diverse individual. Sorry, but most of these male migrants refused to fight for their own nations and were protected by the German government to ensure they never had to.

This sentiment is spreading across Europe, and governments are beginning to warn the people through media messaging that they should prepare for war. The Bundeswehr, Germany’s military, currently has around 262,000 troops, but it would like to boldly increase its size with 200,000 additional troops and will spend €100 billion in a special fund to modernize its military.

European leaders have demonized US President Donald Trump for insisting upon a ceasefire. The world saw him publicly yell at Zelensky for sending hundreds of thousands of men off to die as countless troops perish daily in a war that Zelensky knows he cannot win. Europe is prepared to replenish Ukraine’s military by sending its own soldiers. They have already released the propaganda whereby fighting for Ukraine’s independence equates to fighting for European independence. Trump’s victory may have prolonged the inevitable, but global warfare is indeed inevitable.

The Kallas Plan – Destroy Russia AND Europe

March 27, 2025

The European External Action Service is intended to ensure diplomacy and peace throughout Europe, but the new head, Kaja Kallas, has been promoting the opposite. “[T]he European Union wants Ukraine to win this war” against Russia, Kallas tweeted out. Her response prompted ten European diplomats to speak out. “She (Kallas) is still acting like a prime minister,” said one EU diplomat to Politico. The former Estonian PM is a known neocon who was installed in her current position to push the war narrative. Worse, Kallas has aspirations to one day lead NATO.

Kallas has been blinded by her newfound role and overestimates her power. After Zelensky’s infamous meeting with Trump, Kallas declared Trump was unfit to lead the US, tweeting “the free world needs a new leader.” Not exactly the response of a diplomat. She immediately released demands to the 27 European Union members, demanding 1.5 million rounds of artillery ammunition and additional aid for Ukraine. People began calling the €40 billion the “Kallas Plan” as she alone felt that she had the authority to dictate defense spending for the entire European Union.

Her proposal angered many European leaders who saw that Kallas was coercing them into contributing additional aid to Ukraine based on the size of their individual economies. Yet another unelected bureaucrat dictating a blanket policy for Europe. She reacted to the criticism by asking for €5 billion in artillery shells, but everyone is aware she will demand more.

One European diplomat openly praised her extreme measure, stating, “We are in 1938 or 1939,” and “it’s not the time to hold back processes.” Kallas herself said she received “broad political support” despite the pushback from elected European leaders, especially those in Southern Europe unprepared to make a major donation to Ukraine based on a percentage of their GDP. This is part of the strategy to bolster Europe’s military power now that NATO’s top donor is not in favor of World War III.

The European Union is a complete and utter disaster. Brussels is home to unelected neocons who have never had the best intentions for Europe. It is impossible to set blanket policies for 27 nations and expect the repercussions to be equal. Elected officials are overridden by Brussels at every turn, as we recently saw with Hungary being silenced for voting against yet another aid package. Allowing the elected leaders to vote is simply a show as the bureaucrats in Brussels know they hold the ultimate authority. The Kallas Plan and future endeavors of this nature aim to not only destroy Russia, but to destroy Europe financially.

Halls of Amenti

March 27, 2025

2025_03_26_09_14_13_Vast_underground_city_found_below_Egypt_s_Giza_pyramids_scientists

QUESTION: There seems to be a heated debate about hidden chambers below the pyramids. You are an ancient scholar. Could this be the legendary Halls of Amenti?

Jed

Thoth

ANSWER: I think they call the alleged discovery fake news because there might be a network beneath the pyramids, but some associate it with the legendary Halls of Amenti. That is the problem.

I do not believe that the legendary Halls of Amenti are physical. I believe that they were symbolic of our journey through life. The Halls of Amenti are what we enter and pass through, beginning with ignorance until we reach the “Omega Point” (later referred to as “Noosphere”), which was first coined by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. This is the journey through life between ignorance and our attainment of this Knowledge/Omega Point, as we possess the knowledge required to complete the journey from our physical being to the Soul.

Reincarnation happens from within the Halls of Amenti when we are sent back into a new physical body until we learn and get it right. This is similar to Asian Buddhism. The only passage through the Halls of Amenti necessitates combining knowledge, wisdom, and a complete lack of Karma – then we need not return. I believe that was what Buddha prayed for – not to have to return. That would mean this is HELL, and if we are good, we get to leave and enter HEVAN—interesting view of life and religious take on this experience. It seems to be more akin to Asian, and my theory is that Egyptian writing is images/pictorial, which is how Asian languages developed. Western languages came from the alphabet introduced by the Phoenicians. I believe this stems from the divide between Eastern and Western views.

Hercules

Thoth was the Egyptian deity of the Moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art, and judgment. Unfortunately, early Christian writers exaggerated most religions because anyone who was not a Christian had to be a pagan. One of the primary reasons that Christianity spread was that it had a familiar storyline. Zeus sent his son, Hercules, to help mankind, so it was not a completely strange idea. In Egypt, the legend of Osiris, as told by the Greek author Plutarch, was that Osiris was slain or drowned by Seth, who tore the corpse into 14 pieces and flung them over Egypt. Eventually, Isis and her sister Nephthys found the pieces, wrapped them to get them together, and buried all the pieces, except the phallus/penis, thereby giving new life to Osiris, who thenceforth remained in the underworld as ruler and judge. His son Horus successfully fought against Seth, avenging Osiris and becoming the new king of Egypt. The idea of resurrection was why the Egyptians mummified their bodies. So, many of the ideas of Christianity were not foreign to many cultures.

Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion Greece

All the various beings that the Christians called “gods” were more like superheroes. They were not believed to have been gods of creation. Each was assigned some duty, like Neptune/Poseidon ruled the sea, but did not create it. Someone would go to the temple of Neptune/Poseidon and bring an offering before they set sail, begging for a safe journey, and please don’t mess with me. This stood in contrast to Christianity, but over time, Christians also created saints to pray to for specific things, not unlike the ancients. Saints are not considered to be gods, either – intermediaries.

 

 

Tariffs & Trump’s Inner Circle

March 27, 2025

Never Give Up

COMMENT:

I dont get it..
You said you have no access to Trump.
Cmon Marty…
Your smart enough to find a way.
Your known by many govts and your not smart enough to get through?
I dont believe that!
Even Alex Jones says he has access to Trump
You know Alex…
And he cant get the message to Trump!

GG

REPLY: These tariffs are, to a large extent, political in hopes of forcing change. Europe, for example, is deep in Marxism with high tariffs in theory to protect jobs. Take agriculture. Europe has an Agriculture: 13.9%. Tariff on American agriculture compared to the USA at 5%. Then there are issues the press does not even discuss—the Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs). The EU loves to employ stringent NTBs (e.g., EU regulations, US standards), which are distinct from tariff rates. Regulate something like quality. Since Europe has attacked its farmers using climate change, it can impose NTBs if crops are grown with the fertilizers they have outlawed.

1996 Testify

I believe Trump’s people have taken my testimony before the House Ways & Means Committee because they have advocated the 15% rate I laid out there. I explained that US manufacturers leave because of taxation and regulation, not because they have to pay someone $10 an hour vs. $15. I explained that we could not go to ZERO because some countries would tax a company if it were located in a tax-free zone. I explained that 15% would bring back all the companies that left, but there has to be some guarantee that if the Democrats get back in, they do not reverse everything. Democrats love spending the money of other people. They are indoctrinated into Marxism.

So this is far more complex; all I can do is point out the proper path. I do speak with some people on the team, but we must take this realistically. Canada has tariffs even between its provinces, as if each were its own country. It is a real mess. Many Canadians never knew about that. It is over C$200 billion.

NATO only Threatens War – Europe is Not Interested in Peace

March 27, 2025

NATO threatens WWIII 2025_03_26

There is not a single European leader who has made a statement. All they constantly do is insult and threaten war. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said: “If anyone were to miscalculate and think they can get away with an attack on Poland or on any other ally, they will be met with the full force of this fierce alliance. Our reaction will be devastating,” he declared in Warsaw. “This has to be very clear to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and anyone else who wants to attack us.”

They know nothing about military strategy, nor are they interested in peace. Instead, they want war and will create a false flag to achieve that goal. Europe is in very dire condition. Cyclical Storm Clouds are gathering. The Eurozone has reached a dramatic inflection point, and the refusal to address the debt consolidation from the outset has put Europe at risk for a severe sovereign debt crisis. But the stakes today are incredibly high. If one member fails, this will disrupt everything, weakening the Eurozone beyond repair.

Constantly threatening war and a single attack on Poland will bring a devastating retaliation if you are pushed to that point. You MUST attack the entirety of the Eurozone. You would need to take out NATO headquarters before they could even run to their bunkers.

Sun Su Art of War Know Your Enemy

Putin criticized Lenin, saying he was not a statesman; he was just a Bolshevik. You can now say the same about all of these European leaders. There is not a single statesman among them. These morons are placing the entire world at risk because they think threats work. History demonstrates that it will never work. They neither understand Russia. Worse still, they certainly do not understand themselves. They have waged a proxy war against Russia via Ukraine and think they can defeat Russia conventionally, and their threats will prevent a nuclear exchange. This proxy war guarantees this will be WWIII.

Trump Has Declassified Hillary’s RussiaGate

March 26, 2025

 

Trump declassifies all the FBI files of RussiaGate that Hillary created and John McCain handed to Comey. He asked the biased press, will they “look” no less, report the truth just for once? This gives the media the right to go in and check it, and now we will see who is really beholden to destroying this country, conspiring with the LEFT to take over America.
