Politicians never shy away from using a tragedy for personal gain. Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Elizabeth Warren have been caught stealing donations intended for California wildfire victims and funneling them back into their Democrat Super PACs.

Newsom created a website to combat “misinformation,” another term for controlling the narrative, called CaliforniaFireFacts.com that redirects to the governor’s own website. Concerned citizens are encouraged to donate to the wildfire victims through Campaign for Democracy: “Your donation will go directly towards supporting the firefighters and the communities they serve, including direct financial support to impacted residents.”

One would assume that the donations would go directly to the people of California who lost everything. Think again. Who is processing these donations? ActBlue Carities, Inc., a 501 tax-exempt organization that is a political Super PAC for Democratic political candidates.

Elizabeth Warren also attempted to ask citizens to support a fund that would be split between the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and United Way of Greater Los Angeles. She claimed, “100% of your donations will go directly to these organizations.” Now we see precisely why Joe Biden and the establishment fear the removal of fact-checkers of misinformation from META. Community fact-checkers immediately called out Senator Warren for providing a link that would redirect a portion of proceeds to Act Blue. She could have provided links to the two organizations mentioned but maliciously attempted to secure a portion of public funds for personal interests. Claiming that 100% of donations would go to those charities seems like true misinformation, if not outright fraud.

Be wary of your donations, as the funds may be abused for personal use. Absolutely disgusting that the same people who failed to prevent this catastrophe are now dipping their dirty hands in money intended for charity.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron have been collaborating on ideas to send French troops to Ukraine. “Today I spoke with the president of France. It was a rather long and detailed conversation. We discussed defence support – various forms of defence, arms packages for Ukraine,” Zelensky said earlier in the week.

The pair have also discussed partner contingents and joint military training. Macron has been discussing deploying troops for quite some time. Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened Macron last year, stating his troops would meet the same fate as Napoleon if they dared to enter the war.

“I have a clear strategic objective: Russia cannot win in Ukraine,” Macron said in May 2023. “If Russia wins in Ukraine, there will be no security in Europe. Who can pretend that Russia will stop there? What security will there be for the other neighboring countries, Moldova, Romania, Poland, Lithuania and the others?” he asked.

Again, the establishment neocons are using the same lie to claim that the war against UKRAINE is a war against all of Europe. All the evidence contradicts this claim but the neocons will not relent. North Korea sent troops, so why can’t France? France is a NATO nation and an attack on one is an attack on all. If any NATO member directly deploys troops to the battlefield, the war will escalate into a full battle between NATO and Russia. Allies would not permit French troops to die without stepping in.

“There will be no quick and easy solution in Ukraine,” Macron said in a speech to French ambassadors gathered at the Elysee Palace earlier this month. Macron then urged the United States to “help us to change the nature of the situation and convince Russia to come to the negotiating table.” Yet, every establishment puppet cowers when Trump discusses plans to actually end the war or the potential of surrendering portions of historically Russian territorial lands.

Every model in our computer indicates a turn of events come 2026 before a sharp turn in 2027. Whatever happens next year will be the prelude to what’s to come in 2027. The event appears geopolitical in nature as nearly every sector, currency, and nation will be affected. Perhaps Putin will be overthrown or die, and the true hardliners will take over Russia and fulfill the fears of the neocons. Perhaps another unforeseen event will happen that causes a worldwide calamity. War seems nearly inevitable.

Many people have been asking if I can provide some coins to stimulate the interest of the youth. I will try to put some groups together. This denarii group ran the course from the 12 Caesars (69AD) with Vespasian to Severus Alexander (222-235AD). It may take a couple of weeks, but I will post it when they are ready.

The TikTok ban is a complete disregard for the rights and freedoms of the American people. The ban is NOT about national security, but rather, the final attempt to prevent the people from connecting on an uncensored platform without backdoor government censorship. The law in question goes beyond TikTok as the government will only permit social platforms based in the US, therefore controlling the narrative and information the people can receive.

It is not about privacy from the Chinese government. TikTok is not even available in mainland China as their version is heavily censored. TikTok is a subsidiary of ByteDance, a private company that is not owned by the Chinese government. About 60% of the company is owned by institutional investors, 20% is owned by the founder, and the other 20% is owned by employees. ByteDance has five board members and three of them are American. Their headquarters are in Singapore and Los Angeles, and they have 7,000 employees in the US.

Congress has been unable to comprehend that TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is Singaporean and not a member of the Chinese Communist Party or even Chinese. Unbelievable.

Over 170 million Americans currently use TikTok. TikTok contributed $24.3 billion to the US economy in 2023, with 2024 estimates coming in higher. The majority of that money comes from 6 MILLION SMALL BUSINESSES that rely on TikTok to generate sales. Those 7 million businesses compose 20% of ALL BUSINESSES IN THE US.

Media outlets claim the Supreme Court is strongly siding with Congress, but that is simply not the case. The Supreme Court questioned whether this new law would infringe on the First Amendment. Government claims it is about national security and data. Yet, Chinese-owned online stores are allowed to operate in the US, for example, and they compile user data. Certain stores like SHEIN collect user’s social media data as well. Lawyers for TikTok believe they are being singled out because the people are posting content on the app, therefore, exercising their 1A rights.

(RFK discussed the potential ban back in 2023. EVERY LIBERTY WE SURRENDER IS IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL SECURITY)

Government claims that the Chinese could influence the content to influence the American people. In that case, the concern is truly the content creation and not the data collection.

It is OK when the US government collects your data without warning. Mark Zuckerberg has been lobbying to ban TikTok for years. He permitted the establishment to use META/Facebook as a massive propaganda tool to influence politics and the overall narrative. The government was permitted to use his app to silence the people instantaneously.

It is of no coincidence that the ban will take place one day before Donald Trump takes office. Trump had asked the Supreme Court to hold off on the ruling until he had time to sort things out. Simply put, you cannot take away the circus before the people can afford bread. People cannot afford basic living essentials, and the government is prioritizing taking away one of the last forms of free entertainment and education that the people have left. Countless readers of this blog have sent me videos over the years of on-the-ground footage of events that the media fails to cover. People may speak freely on TikTok and that threatens the establishment.

We are not so different from North Korea. Our government is taking extreme measures to censor our ability to connect with others and share information. The government tells us what is real and false. “Misinformation” is the information that goes against the current narrative. We are not to question our leaders. The US market is only a fraction of TikTok’s international audience and it may not be in their best interest to sell. It also seems as if the current CEO would rather have his platform go dark for US users than allow Washington to use his platform as yet another propaganda tool.

We saw the cancelation of the Romanian election in December 2024, the final month of the Political Year from Hell. Calin Georgescu, who the media declared as a far-right extremist, won the election. The establishment cried, “RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE!” and has refused to acknowledge the results. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets on Sunday to demand President Klaus’ resignation.

The media is not covering this story anywhere as the establishment fears mass civil unrest. The Romanian people are understandably outraged that their government is completely ignoring the democratic process and denying them the right to vote for their future president.

The neocons are behind this utter disregard for democracy. The establishment has blamed Russia and TikTok for interfering in their election. Yet, the clear reason that they will not permit Georgescu to take office is due to his anti-NATO stance.

NATO’s largest exercise for 2025, Steadfast Dart 2025 (STDT25), is taking place in Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece. Over 10,000 allied military personal from nine NATO nations are partaking in this joint exercise. As explained by the Sofia Globe, “The exercise involves air, land, naval and special operations forces; 17 ships; more than 20 aircraft and helicopters, including EF2000, F16, AV 8B HARRIER fighters and A400 transport aircraft; more than 1500 pieces of military equipment, including tanks, multiple launch rocket systems, self-propelled artillery, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and armoured personnel carriers (APCs).”

“What is happening now in Romania gains no reaction abroad, no reaction from the United States. They don’t understand what is going on here, because if they use Romania as a door for a war, what to be next? We don’t need war; this is my point,” Georgescu said, TASS reported. He said it loud and clear — THIS IS NOT OUR WAR! Georgescu is against collaborating with NATO to wage World War III, as are the Romanian people who DO NOT WANT WAR! Tens of thousands took to the streets to beg their now UNELECTED officials to hear their voices.

Millions voted for a candidate who did not want war and were denied their vote. Anyone “anti-war” is now “pro-Russian” and a threat to the ultimate goal of creating World War III to usher in the dawn of a new world order. “Authorities must say why they cancelled the election, we want to see the evidence,” one protestor and proclaimed economist told Reuters, “At this rate we won’t be voting anymore, they will impose a leader like in the old days.”

And this is precisely how nations fail.

Civil unrest is growing among the people. Their leaders have abandoned domestic interests in favor of globalist pursuits. The economy is turning down, and people are worried about their own future. The people no longer believe in the democratic process. Why hold an election when they allow unelected officials to override EU member states? Why hold an election when the establishment simply cancels out the vote when the results do not align with their wishes?

The discontent will rise among the people like a contagion. I simply do not see the European Union existing as a whole in the coming years. Individual nations like Romania are fighting back. They do not want to participate in the neocon globalist war games, and the establishment is not prepared for the collective overriding their authoritarian regimes.

Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley is yet another example of disastrous DEI policies. The city cheered Crowley as the first LGBTQ member to hold the post and it appears Crowley was focusing more on the woke agenda than important matters like refilling the water reservoirs.

“As the fire chief, if confirmed, I vow to take a strategic and balanced approach to ensure we meet the needs of the community we serve. We will focus our efforts on increasing our operational effectiveness, enhancing firefighter safety and well-being, and fully commit to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture within the LAFD,” Crowley said upon her nomination.

The third goal on the LAFD’s website includes DEI measures. A lot of time and money went into ensuring that the staff was diverse. Crowley, with an annual salary of $439,722, was one of many DEI hires. The LAFD hired its first Lesbian Assistant Chief and first black lesbian Equity Bureau Chief. The aim was to hire the most DIVERSE group of individuals over the most qualified.

Clearly, the wildfires do not care if the fire chief is WOKE.

Mayor Karen Bass cut $17.6 million in funding to the LA Fire Department. Los Angeles ensured they had money in the budget for the woke agenda. “The Midnight Stroll Transgender Café” received $100,000 in funding, the NAACP Awards received $100,000 in funding, and $170,000 was sent to the “Social Justice Art-Worker Investments.” The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles was awarded $14,000, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage Month programs was granted $13,000, and the Cultural Affairs Department was awarded nearly $9,000 to feature LGBTQ displays.

The response to the wildfires may just be a sign that the most diverse does not represent the most competent. How could a major city with a high risk of wildfires utterly avoid the water reserve issue? Failed leadership had led to a potentially preventable disaster.

QUESTION: Thank you so much for your world forecasts. It is very helpful to be able to read you here in China. You said that deflation is in motion into 2028. People are cutting back on spending and your model has been correct here in China. Could you provide a quick overview for 2025?

DZ

ANSWER: President Xi Jinping has acknowledged that 2025 will be a challenging year of reform. He’s not wrong, at least about the second point. Deflation remains the major problem going into 2028. Prices are indeed falling as households curtail their spending. We are all human, and as soon as economic uncertainty appears on the horizon, people will hoard their cash. This is self-evident from ancient times.

I am doing my best to try to explain to anyone who will listen that this hair brain idea of Trump and tariffs will bring about an economic depression as we move into 2028 and he has the risk that his legacy will match that of Herbert Hoover. There were the Sovereign Defaults of 1931 and that wiped out capital formation. That was the major cause of more than 9,000 bank failures in the USA. We also face massive sovereign defaults, with the worst in Japan and Europe. Add tariffs to this bearish economic outlook, and Trump will export deflation, and with that, the US will also not be able to see overseas. The entire world’s GDP will decline by about 20%.

The People’s Bank of China is as trapped as the rest of the central banks, and it will be unable to stop the deflation without adopting a new economic theory. We are approaching 2026, which will be an important year for our models, and it is even 72 years from the formation of the Chinese Constitution, which was enacted on September 20th, 1954, with the first meeting of the National People’s Congress in Beijing unanimously approval the 1954 Constitution of the People’s Republic of China. It was a matter of weeks when, on October 1st, 1954, The China Construction Bank was founded.

Canada was the first central bank to cut rates within days of this Economic Confidence Model turning on May 7th, 2024. Overall, we are in a deflationary atmosphere into 2028. With regard to China, the downturn can be hard for two years into 2026.

The Legislative Analyst Office (LAO) found that California is facing “double-digit operating deficits in the years to come” as a result of reckless government spending. For the 2025-26 period, the LOA believes the state may have a balanced budget but called Newsom’s spending and policies highly unpredictable. For now, the state has seen $11 billion in “spending-related solutions” and $15 billion in “other solutions,” which will ultimately become problems. Newsom already withdrew $7 billion from the rainy-day fund. The state is now banking on high-income citizens for tax revenue to accommodate its ever-increasing spending.

This report was compiled before the deadly wildfires caused uncalculated damage to EVERYONE, including the dreaded rich who the state expects to cover the spending gap. Newsom spent recklessly on everything but infrastructure.

Spending growth from 2025-26 to 2028-29 is 5.8%, above the average of 3.5%. Growth over the same period is just above 4%, “lower than its historical average largely due to policy choices that end during the forecast window. Taken together, we view it as unlikely that revenue growth will be fast enough to catch up to ongoing spending.”

The “good news” is that incomes are rapidly rising among high-income residents who the state will extort. The labor market remains soft but those at the top will be expected to fill the gaps. The rising stock market is contributing to growth in pay among high-income workers, with the report noting that those in California’s once booming tech field are seeing pay increases. As with all socialistic economies, the government sees your money as their money.

Tax collections are expected to beat expectations by $7 billion. “This is entirely due to improving income tax collections, which would, under our forecast, end the current year 20 percent higher than two years ago,” the report notes. Since no individual can predict future stock movement, the legislative office is uncertain how much they will ultimately be able to extort, but they believe revenues will be “above or below” $30 billion across the budget window.

The office is also banking on the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates, another unpredictable variable. Currently, the state is facing annual multiyear deficits around $20 billion to $30 billion, which is exactly what they are hoping to ultimately collect from citizens.

GOVERNMENT SPENDING is to blame for the budget failures. Every analysis says the same thing. The LAO suggests: “Legislature would need to address in the coming years, for example by reducing spending, increasing taxes, shifting costs, or using more reserves. The magnitude of these deficits also indicates that, without other changes to spending or revenues, the state does not have capacity for new commitments.”

Newsom has no plans to slow spending. While the state has absolutely no capacity for new spending commitments, state government will not comply. The state can either raise taxes or reduce spending, and ultimately, the current plan is to continually raise taxes and punish the people for government’s failures.
