This shift is a response to burnout, delayed family formation, and dissatisfaction observed in older generations, concluding that many young women are consciously choosing stability and family as a more fulfilling alternative.

&lt;b&gt;Feminism is a disaster!&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump Saves All the Women!
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Feminism is a crock of shit.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was deliberately designed to destroy the human family structure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Feminism has proven itself to be a disaster.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Statistics say that by 2030 some 45% of all women between 28 and 45 in USA will be unmarried, childless, and working trying to be self supporting. They will be miserable, thus the whole of society will suffer.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
Feminism was created because the purchasing power of the Federal Reserve Note, aka the US 'dollar', was dropping so rapidly in the 1950s. The Powers That Be decided since the dollar was so weak that an ordinary man's paycheck could no longer support a family, it was necessary to force women into the industrial side of humanity.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To do that, they had to change the basic concepts within women's minds.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
Feminism was thus created. It came from Talmudic thinking, and was led by deeply zionistic women. Go look up the early history of Feminism...all Talmudic jew women. They were running their own agenda seeking zionist control over humanity.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Feminism has proven itself to be a disaster. This is due to biology. &lt;b&gt;No amount of Talmudic muddy thinking and plots will overcome basic human biology.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Women burn out in the industrial side of humanity in their late 30s and early 40s. It hits them hard.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive a 'working life' a body relies on testosterone. To endure the grinding pressures of the industrial side of humanity both physically and mentally takes much more than ideology.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter how much the officialdom press and academia proclaim the liberation of women, the experience of the reality created by the idealism destroys women. Mentally and physically and socially.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Women used to live their body's Life within community. Now, it's just competition. Not only the expected competition for men, but now, thanks to the pollution of the social order by Feminism, a woman's life is also now competing WITH men as well.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reality is easily seen...while they have to sell lies through deception. Feminism is the lie. To see the reality just open Youtube. There are categories of tens of thousands of videos addressing just this point; burnout women who do not understand why they suffer so, and they express it.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, they blame men, as they have been instructed to do by media. Yes, they blame the industrial side of humanity as they are immersed in it. They blame fate, their luck, and their daddies.

The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was meant to exclude those without full political allegiance, such as temporary or unlawful migrants, meaning their children were never intended to automatically receive citizenship. Therefore, ending this practice does not necessarily require a constitutional amendment, but rather a stricter, originalist reinterpretation of existing law by courts or policymakers. Birthright citizenship, as currently applied, is a policy choice, &lt;a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/5815807-reclaiming-our-own-birthright-we-might-need-to-amend-the-constitution/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;not a constitutional inevitability&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and could be curtailed through reinterpretation rather than having to rewrite the Constitution.

The tone here is blunt: this isn't bad luck, it's a system so bloated and poorly policed that it practically invites criminals to loot it, while leadership denies, deflects, and keeps spending like nothing's wrong. California's problems aren't about one policy. They're about a system that's broken, bloated, is being pillaged and no one is being held accountable while &lt;a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fbi-arrests-eight-suspects-60-million-la-county-over-hospice-fraud" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kash Patel and the FBI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are off doing who knows what.

________&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Inside Gavin Newsom's empire of fraud&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By &lt;a href="https://nypost.com/2026/04/01/opinion/gavin-newsoms-empire-of-fraud/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Christopher Rufo and Ryan Thorpe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | April 1, 2026 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
California is a cash machine.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The state collects some of the country's highest &lt;a href="https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/state-income-tax-rates/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;income&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/state-corporate-income-tax-rates-brackets/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;business&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://taxadmin.org/wp-content/uploads/resources/tax_rates/state_motor_fuel_tax_rates.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;fuel taxes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and now &lt;a href="https://calmatters.org/commentary/2025/10/california-chronic-deficit-budget/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;spends&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; more than $300 billion per year.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And yet, everywhere you look, California seems to be falling apart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The roads are &lt;a href="https://tripnet.org/reports/keeping-california-mobile-statewide-news-release-09-25-2025/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;crumbling&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Mismanaged wildfires have turned neighborhoods into ash. Drug addiction and homelessness have metastasized, turning parts of Los Angeles and San Francisco into no-go zones.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the cost-of-living crisis is pricing middle-class taxpayers out of basic necessities like groceries and gas, even as the state spends billions on welfare programs that never seem to lift anyone out of poverty.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Californians are beginning to ask: &lt;a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/23/us-news/congress-launches-probe-into-california-hospice-fraud/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Where is all this money going&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;?
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On paper, it funds public services. But beneath the surface, something else is happening: &lt;a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/25/opinion/hospice-fraud-could-haunt-newsoms-ambitions/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;massive, systematic, brazen fraud&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We conducted interviews with public officials, fraud experts, and political figures, and reviewed hundreds of pages of government reports, state audits, criminal indictments, and other public records on &lt;a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/10/us-news/ground-zero-for-hospice-fraud-the-la-boulevard-exposed-by-new-investigation/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;California fraud&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seemingly every state program has been compromised by criminals.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best estimates suggest that, on the governor's watch, fraudsters, scammers, and organized crime rings have stolen at least $180 billion from taxpayers.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Welcome to &lt;a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/22/us-news/disgraced-ex-gavin-newsom-aide-breaks-silence-as-fraud-trial-looms/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gavin Newsom's empire of fraud&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourteen months after Newsom began his first term as governor, the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world. The state's leaders imposed some of the country's most &lt;a href="https://fee.org/articles/california-has-the-strictest-lockdown-in-the-us-and-the-most-active-covid-cases-by-far/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;restrictive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; public-health measures. In response to the crisis, Newsom sought to dump pallets of cash across the state — as quickly as possible.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One way to inject money was through California's massive unemployment insurance program (UI). Unemployment insurance is administered by the state's Employment Development Department (EDD), which can process billions of dollars in payments monthly. Before the state turned on the cash machine, however, experts had warned that the system was ripe for fraud.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haywood Talcove, one of America's leading fraud specialists and CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions for Government, said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
"I was begging [federal officials] not to let the money go out like that, because it was going to be the biggest fraud in the history of our country. Obviously, I wasn't successful."
&lt;/blockquote&gt;For many reasons, California was particularly susceptible to the large-scale fraud schemes that Talcove foresaw.

The episode underscores a familiar pattern in Western foreign policy, yesterday's extremist quietly repackaged into today's "legitimate partner" when it suits strategic interests. Is this what &lt;a href="https://abeldanger.blogspot.com/2026/03/fellow-veterans-to-break-that-silence.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joe Kent&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; discovered (&lt;a href="https://abeldanger.blogspot.com/2026/04/allahu-akbar.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Allahu Akbar!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)? The optics alone are enough to fuel skepticism: alliances shift, narratives get rewritten, and the same vetted terrorists™ once branded as threats can, under the right circumstances, be welcomed into the fold with remarkable speed.

The Democrats, controlled by financial ties through oligarchs linked to the city of London naturally, are now going after Peter Hegseth. As if this is the first time a political foe has been attacked for insider trading when it happens all the time. Smells like intelligence and counter intelligence being used by the media.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A group of Senate Democrats are demanding more information about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's finances and investments following a report -- which the Pentagon demanded be retracted -- that he may have tried to invest in defense stocks before the war in Iran began roughly five weeks ago.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"If this report is accurate, it would appear to represent an appalling effort to profit off of your knowledge of the President's plans for war," Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Richard Blumenthal, Tammy Duckworth, Jeff Merkley and Gary Peters wrote in a letter to Hegseth -- and provided exclusively to ABC News -- on Wednesday night. "This would be a profound conflict of interest and a potential violation of your federal ethics agreement -- and betrayal of the nation paying the price for this war and the troops you are sending into harm's way."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.ft.com/content/744ea8dc-6d93-4fe9-a5e3-36de4f5d06db" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Financial Times&lt;/i&gt; reported&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; earlier this week that a broker for Hegseth at Morgan Stanley contacted BlackRock -- an equity fund -- and tried to make a multimillion-dollar investment into a fund with defense stocks weeks before the Iran war.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The investment did not go ahead because it was not yet available for Morgan Stanley clients, the Financial Times reported -- adding that it's not clear whether Hegseth's broker found another defense fund to invest in.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ABC News has not independently confirmed the Financial Times' report.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When reached by ABC News, Morgan Stanley and BlackRock declined to comment on the Financial Times report
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="https://x.com/SeanParnellASW/status/2038763565486612632" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In a post on X&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on Monday, Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell dismissed the report calling it "entirely false and fabricated" and demanded a retraction from the Financial Times.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still, the Democratic senators, led by Armed Services Committee member Warren, said in their letter that if the report turns out to be accurate, it would be a "serious breach of the public's trust" and in violation of the ethics agreement he signed ahead of his confirmation as secretary of defense.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"The American people deserve leaders they can trust to put national security ahead of their own financial self-interest," the senators wrote to Hegseth.

Charlie Kirk was murdered on September 10, 2025 and one month later on October 10, 2025 an estimated 24,000–28,000 pounds of high explosives (including TNT/RDX mixtures in production kettles) detonated in a "pour-cast" building, triggering a chain reaction (expoliation of evidence). No safety protocols in place to prevent such a "chain reaction?" It is likely the microphone Charlie Kirk was using on the day of his murder was loaded with an explosive device rigged to detonate inwards towards his chest but the device didn't detonate as planned. Instead, the blast sent shrapnel into his neck. It is further alleged Accurate Energetic Systems manufactured the explosives used in the microphone. How the hell does an estimated 24,000 to 28,000 pounds of explosives detonate? Collateral damage: 16 employees were killed and at least 4–7 other employees were injured. And what exactly did the investigation find?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board will investigate the explosion at Accurate Energetic Systems near Bucksnort that killed 16 people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"This is one of the deadliest industrial incidents in our country in years," said Steve Owens, the chairperson of the Chemical Safety Board, in a news release Monday. "The (Chemical Safety Board) investigators will conduct an initial assessment of the incident location and will be meeting with (Accurate Energetic Systems) management, the (U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives), and other officials to identify the information necessary to determine the cause of this horrific event."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ATF estimated that on Oct. 10, &lt;b&gt;between 24,000 and 28,000 pounds of explosives detonated&lt;/b&gt; in a building on the 1,300-acre Accurate Energetic Systems campus located in Humphreys County, Tennessee. 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A preliminary investigation by the ATF determined the blast originated in a building on the campus where "mixed explosive materials were heated in production kettles."
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Investigators have so far been able to identify 14 of 16 people who died. Two remain unidentified. 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Chemical Safety Board's investigation begins now that the ATF has concluded its activities at the Accurate Energetic Systems campus and returned control of the site to the company.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is being alleged Iranian hackers released materials purportedly proving the FBI framed Tyler Robinson for the assassination of Charlie Kirk. These claims are being presented as evidence of a coordinated cover-up:&lt;br /&gt;

President Trump's proposed $1.5 trillion FY2027 "defense" (war) budget request, a roughly 40-44% surge amid the ongoing U.S. war (it's not a war) with Iran, is obscene and disgusting. It funnels record sums into weapons, munitions replenishment, and projects like the "Golden Dome" missile shield while slashing 10% from non-defense domestic programs such as education, healthcare, and environmental protection. Ordinary Americans gain nothing tangible, unless you are a house wife stamping shell casings at $25 an hour, from this massive transfer of wealth to defense (war) contractors and endless military adventures; instead, they bear the burden through higher national debt, inflation risks, neglected needs at home, and the human and economic costs of war. This prioritizes global power projection over the well-being of U.S. citizens.

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Trump Set To Unveil His $1.5 Trillion Military Budget Request Amid Raging Iran War&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
by &lt;a href="https://news.antiwar.com/2026/04/02/trump-set-to-unveil-his-1-5-trillion-military-budget-request-amid-raging-iran-war/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Dave DeCamp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | April 2, 2026 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President Trump is expected to unveil his request for a $1.5 trillion military budget for the 2027 fiscal year on Friday, &lt;a href="https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2026/04/02/golden-dome-ships-and-missiles-top-trumps-15-trillion-defense-wish-list/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Reuters &lt;/i&gt;has reported&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, marking a 50% increase from this year's already massive budget.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2026 military budget marked the &lt;a href="https://news.antiwar.com/2025/12/17/senate-passes-massive-901-billion-national-defense-authorization-act-sending-it-to-trumps-desk/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;first to officially exceed $1 trillion&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which was achieved by Congress passing a 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) worth about $900 billion and combining it with $150 billion in supplemental military spending that was included in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill, a reconciliation bill that became law last year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The White House is expected to go with a similar strategy to reach $1.5 trillion. It may request an NDAA worth about $1 trillion or less and seek a supplemental spending bill for $400 to $600 billion. Republican leadership in Congress has already begun working on the potential supplemental.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Trump administration is also expected to soon &lt;a href="https://news.antiwar.com/2026/03/19/department-of-war-seeks-200-billion-to-fund-iran-war/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ask Congress for $200 billion in "emergency" spending&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for the Iran war, mainly to replenish the air defense munitions and missiles used so far in the conflict, which has been raging for more than one month. It’s unclear if the $200 billion for the Iran war would be in addition to the supplemental for the 2027 budget.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Reuters report said that the massive $1.5 trillion request will include the $185 billion “Golden Dome” project, Trump's plan for a major new missile defense system for all the territory of the United States, which will be a major boondoggle for the US weapons makers and may spark a new arms race.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report said the administration also plans to use the money to fund more weapons production with the goal of "deterring" China and to replenish weapons used in the Middle East wars and in Ukraine.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bloomberg reported that the White House's budget plan will frame the Republicans' midterm election message around a massive military buildup, partially paid for by cuts to domestic agencies. The request will come as the US appears to be on the cusp of launching ground operations against Iranian islands and ports, which could lead to significant US casualties.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Editor's note: &lt;/b&gt;As of April 4, 2026, roughly five weeks into the US attack on Iran, confirmed US military losses include 15 service members killed (with one additional missing in action from the April 3 &lt;a href="https://www.kosu.org/news/2026-04-03/2-u-s-planes-are-down-and-iran-hits-gulf-refineries-as-the-war-wraps-its-5th-week" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;F-15E incident&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) and more than 520 wounded, many from Iranian drone and missile strikes on bases in the Persian Gulf region such as Port Shuaiba in Kuwait and Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia; these figures encompass combat deaths from early drone attacks and a &lt;a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/how-many-aircraft-has-the-us-lost-in-iran-war/ar-AA201St5?uxmode=ruby" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;KC-135 refueling aircraft&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; crash in western Iraq. On the equipment side, Iran has destroyed or claimed responsibility for at least one F-15E Strike Eagle shot down (see &lt;a href="https://southfront.press/iran-shoots-down-american-f-15-fighter-jet-shares-photos-of-wreckage/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Iran Shoots Down American F-15 Fighter Jet, Shares Photos Of Wreckage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) over western Iran, one &lt;a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/us-lost-16-aircrafts-since-amid-iran-conflict-including-10-reaper-drones-report/articleshow/129689728.cms" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A-10 Thunderbolt II crashed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in the Persian Gulf, and &lt;a href="https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/us-mq-9-reaper-losses-iran-operation-epic-fury-isfahan-usd480-million/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;16–17 MQ-9 Reaper drones&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; downed over Iranian territory (many in southern provinces bordering the Gulf), along with damage to support aircraft like KC-135 tankers, an E-3 Sentry AWACS, and radars at multiple Gulf bases; overall, at least 17 U.S. sites have been hit, with equipment and infrastructure losses estimated at $800 million to $2.9 billion in the first month alone. The Pentagon and CENTCOM have released only partial, incremental updates, prompting accusations of underreporting, while the toll continues to mount amid ongoing operations in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz area:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-losses-edge-towards-5b-in-1-month-of-war-with-iran/3888139" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;US losses edge towards $5B in 1 month of war with Iran&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.realcleardefense.com/2026/04/03/how_many_aircraft_has_the_us_lost_in_iran_war_1174506.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Many Aircraft Has the U.S. Lost in Iran War?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Lutnick has become a political liability, dogged by controversy, weighed down by internal criticism, and tied to uneven trade messaging that has frustrated both allies and insiders. Why? Because Lutnick's BGC Group is deeply embedded in London's financial system, making it less a purely American firm and more a transatlantic power player operating at the core of the City's global money flows. In an administration already marked by instability and distrust, keeping a figure like Lutnick only compounds the perception of dysfunction. If Trump wants to reassert control and project strength, the move is obvious: cut loose the dead weight, the city of London, eliminate the distraction, and make it clear that underperformance and baggage won't be tolerated at the highest levels.&lt;div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Donald Trump is said to be considering removing other officials in his cabinet after forcing Pam Bondi from her role as attorney general.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
The president is unhappy with the performance of Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the labor secretary, and commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, Politico reported.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"He's very angry and he's going to be moving people," an unnamed official with the administration told the outlet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump also polled advisers about replacing Tulsi Gabbard as intelligence chief, the Guardian reported.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, significant staffing changes are underway at the Pentagon where defense secretary Pete Hegseth ousted the army's top officer and two other high ranking officials on Thursday.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The US Department of the Interior said it would further reduce its staff with a deferred resignation program and offers of voluntary early retirement.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secretary Doug Burgum announced the move as part of a “strategic initiative to improve resource management" and "[streamline] outdated bureaucracy".
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Effective stewardship requires disciplined management of the resources entrusted to us,” Burgum said in a press release. "By modernizing our operations we're strengthening our ability to carry out Interior’s mission and deliver world-class service for the American people."
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Trump administration has made significant job cuts across federal agencies over the last year, including in the interior department, which is down 11,000 employees.

He ties the policy heavily to Israeli interests against Iran and calls it a "&lt;a href="https://abeldanger.blogspot.com/2026/03/fellow-veterans-to-break-that-silence.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;dirty war&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" that relied on Sunni extremists until they "got out of control." However, his account is incomplete: it downplays ISIS's dominant self-funding through captured oil fields, extortion, and looting (millions daily at peak), private Gulf donor networks (they can go pound sand because their time is up), Turkey's facilitation, captured weapons, and ideological drivers, factors well-documented by UN and US Treasury reports. Kent knows the U.S. role intimately from combat deployments (his wife died fighting ISIS in 2019), but his post-resignation narrative selectively emphasizes US/Israeli policy while omitting the group's broader, mostly independent ecosystem. Those ISIS™ murderous lunatics dropped a mortar round inside a gathering of Syrians killing scores of civilians including a 14 year-old boy on his bicycle. Blow back muthafuckas. We say kill them all.&lt;br /&gt;________&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;

The terror group issued a horrifying threat on Thursday.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'In the latest edition of its al-Naba newspaper, the terrorists also reportedly called for attacks during &lt;a href="https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/2038913/im-jewish-selling-bread-passover" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;the Jewish holiday of Passover, which began yesterday&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and ends next Thursday. The shocking warnings come after Israel closed the al-Aqsa Mosque in late February, with authorities extending the closure until mid-April.'

Please be on guard, protect yourself, situationally prepared, work with law enforcement as need be, make sure you are aware of your surroundings! Law enforcement and Secret Service must be heightened and all forms of security around POTUS Trump and family, his son Baron, FLOTUS, and on this religious holiday, I pray that the Lord grants POTUS Trump peace and clear headedness, safety, gracious mercy, grants him favor and clears his mind to make optimal decisions in these pressed urgent times, perilous. I pray a deal is made now to end this blood shed and war Israel Iran USA and that our troops are kept safe and come home, that no innocent Iranian, American, or Israeli is harmed or killed. No more!

Summary&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;• Bondi faced criticism over handling of Epstein files and DOJ independence&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;• Trump frustrated by Bondi's pace prosecuting critics, appoints Todd Blanche as interim AG&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;• Calling role 'honor of a lifetime,' Bondi says she is taking private-sector job
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday after mounting frustration with her performance, especially over the release of files ​on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Trump also felt Bondi was not moving quickly enough to prosecute critics and adversaries whom he wanted to face criminal charges, according to sources.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deputy Attorney General Todd ‌Blanche, a former personal lawyer to Trump, will lead the Justice Department temporarily, Trump said in a social media post.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the post, Trump praised Bondi as a "Great American Patriot and a loyal friend" who had overseen a "massive crackdown in Crime." Trump said she will soon move to a job in the private sector, but he gave no details.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In her own social media post, Bondi said: "Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime."
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She said she would spend the next month transitioning the ​role to Blanche. On social media, Blanche thanked Trump and praised Bondi, promising to do "everything in our power to keep America safe."
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her tenure as the top U.S. law enforcement official, Bondi was a combative champion of ​Trump's agenda and dismantled the Justice Department’s longstanding tradition of independence from the White House in its investigations.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it was repeated criticism over the Epstein files, including from Trump ⁠allies and some Republican lawmakers, that came to dominate her tenure. Bondi was accused of covering up or mismanaging the release of records on the DOJ's sex-trafficking investigations into Epstein, a financier who cultivated ties to wealthy and powerful figures.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump informed ​Bondi at a White House meeting on Wednesday that he was looking to replace her as attorney general, according to a source familiar with the matter. Trump allies had encouraged the president in recent days to "rip off the Band-Aid" and fire ​her, according to the source and one other person familiar with the matter.

Inflation remains above target, leaving the Federal Reserve trapped and out of credible options. It can either allow a brutal deleveraging that risks a deep economic contraction, or revert to aggressive money printing that will likely reignite inflation and destroy what remains of its credibility. There is no clean outcome left. The illusion of control is breaking, and the consequences of years of easy money are now unavoidable.
&lt;br /&gt;
________&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I'm Sorry, But The Fed Has Run Out Of Road&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;There is no painless option left. It's deflationary depression or crippling inflation.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BY &lt;a href="https://quoththeraven.substack.com/p/im-sorry-but-the-fed-has-run-out" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;QUOTH THE RAVEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | March 29, 2026
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a special kind of denial that only financial markets can sustain. It is the quiet insistence that everything is fine because the S&amp;amp;P is only down about 10%, as if that number alone captures the health of an entire financial system. It is the belief that until equities are in full free fall, nothing truly serious can be happening underneath.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But as we know, underneath, things are already starting to break.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is the part people are not fully appreciating. If a modest correction is enough to expose &lt;a href="https://quoththeraven.substack.com/p/private-credit-cracks-reach-real" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;fragility in private credit that is already spilling over to counterparties and sectors like real estate&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, what exactly happens when there is a real downturn, the kind that actually forces price discovery instead of delaying it?
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It does not stop at private credit. Private credit flows into private equity, which depends on leverage to generate returns. Private equity flows into commercial real estate, which is already dealing with structural problems that have nothing to do with interest rates and everything to do with demand. Commercial real estate flows into regional banks, which hold the debt and rely on valuations that have not fully adjusted.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a chain reaction waiting for a trigger. We &lt;a href="https://quoththeraven.substack.com/p/10-areas-of-the-market-id-avoid-right?utm_source=publication-search" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;knew this&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; heading into 2026.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, inflation has refused to cooperate with the Federal Reserve's plan. U.S. CPI is holding at 2.4% year over year as of February 2026, and core inflation is at 2.5%. That is not an emergency level, but it is also not the 2% target the Fed has spent years insisting is non negotiable.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Central banking is not about being approximately correct. It is about maintaining credibility, and credibility does not come from saying close enough.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the Fed is staring at a system where financial stress is building and inflation is still above target, as I've been writing they would face for years now. That combination removes the easy answers, and all of a sudden the Fed runs out of road.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next phase of this cycle is almost certainly deleveraging. Not the slow and orderly kind that policymakers like to describe in speeches, but the forced kind. The kind where lenders pull back, refinancing becomes difficult, and assets that were priced for perfection suddenly have to reflect reality. When that process begins in earnest, it tends to accelerate because falling prices create more pressure, which creates more selling, which creates more falling prices. Then, like we are seeing in private credit, &lt;a href="https://quoththeraven.substack.com/p/the-blame-game-in-private-credit" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;psychology eventually breaks and the blame game starts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Who could have seen this coming?&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once that process starts, there are only two broad paths.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first path is to let it happen. Credit contracts, defaults rise, asset prices fall, and the system works through its excesses the old fashioned way. The problem is that the amount of leverage in the system today is enormous, and it has been built during a period of unusually low rates. When you combine high debt levels with higher interest costs, the math becomes unforgiving very quickly. That kind of deleveraging does not look like a mild recession. It starts to resemble something much more severe, potentially deflationary, potentially prolonged.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second path is intervention. The Fed steps in (stop me if you've heard this one before), provides liquidity, and expands its balance sheet aggressively. Quantitative easing returns, possibly at a scale that makes previous rounds look restrained. Asset prices stabilize, credit markets function again, and the immediate crisis is contained. This is what my friend Larry Lepard refers to as "the big print".
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But here is where the situation becomes genuinely problematic. The Fed cannot cleanly choose the second option, though I think it's the way they will head.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They cannot do it with inflation still running above target without major inflationary consequences. Injecting massive liquidity into a system that has not fully extinguished inflationary pressure risks reigniting it. Not gently, not in a controlled way, but in a way that forces a much harsher response later. The entire credibility of the central bank rests on the idea that it will not tolerate persistent inflation above its target. If it abandons that stance in order to stabilize markets, it risks unanchoring expectations in a way that is very difficult to reverse.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watch the below clip at 50:02 until 52:47 if you want a 2 minute explanation of the direction we will keep heading if we go the inflation route.

Of a US Workforce of 162 million people (30 million of which are part time) and 72 million children under the age of 18, 62 million retirees, some 82 million disabled, and 14.3 million unemployed there simply isn't enough inflow to support America.  There are 36.8 million people living in poverty yet 87.5 million receiving Medicaid - the single largest COST of the Treasury Statement* - I don't consider payments for SS a Cost given it was forcibly taxed."

The pattern is consistent: higher tax burdens, elevated cost of living, and heavy regulation correlate with capital and population flight. As top earners leave, states lose disproportionate tax revenue, tightening budgets while spending commitments remain high. The result is a structural squeeze, shrinking tax bases, persistent deficits, and declining economic competitiveness, that reinforces further outmigration. The data points to a clear trend: policy environments in these states are pushing wealth and productivity elsewhere.

Three conflicts, two unconventional negotiators, and a process unfolding largely outside traditional diplomatic channels, recent developments suggest a shift in how high-level negotiations are being conducted. Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer turned envoy, and Jared Kushner, operating without a formal government title, have reportedly taken central roles in discussions spanning Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran. Both men, closely tied to Donald Trump, have described a flexible, fast-moving approach to negotiations, merging proposals, working multiple regions simultaneously, and leveraging personal relationships rather than institutional frameworks. Critics such as &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyBGuATk5AE" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Alastair Crooke&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; argue this model reflects not a conventional peace process, but a system where financial and strategic interests shape outcomes first, with political arrangements following behind—raising deeper questions about transparency, accountability, and whose interests are ultimately being served.

Three wars, two men — one pattern.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 2025, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin for approximately five hours, presenting documents outlining a phased settlement plan for Ukraine [1]. Later that month, Witkoff convened representatives from the US, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey in Miami to advance Phase 2 of the Gaza ceasefire [2].&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On March 23, 2026, Trump claimed Kushner and Witkoff had conducted talks with senior Iranian officials regarding the terms under which Iran's energy infrastructure might be spared3. Tehran denies the meeting took place, with Ghalibaf himself calling it ‘fake news’ designed to manipulate oil and financial markets 4.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By March 25, the White House was working to arrange a meeting in Islamabad, with Pakistan having transmitted a 15-point US ceasefire proposal to Tehran and the IAEA chief confirming he expected talks that weekend 5.

Three wars. Two men operating outside normal diplomatic channels, at compressed timescales, producing phased conditions rather than political agreements. &lt;b&gt;Neither man is a career diplomat.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
Witkoff holds the title of Special Envoy&lt;/b&gt; [6], sworn in by Secretary Rubio, but his background is New York real estate development [7] — his friendship with Donald Trump dates to 1986, when he bought the future president a sandwich at a deli [8].
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
Kushner holds no formal title at all. &lt;/b&gt;He is the president's son-in-law, a real estate investor whose family company purchased 666 Fifth Avenue for $1.8 billion and spent the better part of a decade trying to refinance it [9].
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
Between them, they are negotiating the reconstruction of Ukraine, the governance of Gaza, and the terms under which Iran re-enters the international system.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the question is not actually whether they are qualified. &lt;b&gt;The question is what function they perform — and for whom.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an October 2025 interview with CBS's &lt;i&gt;60 Minutes&lt;/i&gt; [10], Kushner and Witkoff described the function themselves — though not in those terms. They confirmed working Iran, Ukraine, and an Algeria-Morocco deal simultaneously.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Witkoff called peace '&lt;i&gt;infectious&lt;/i&gt;' and said leaders were calling the White House asking how to move deals forward. &lt;b&gt;Kushner explained that Trump had delegated broad authority to negotiate&lt;/b&gt; — &lt;i&gt;the mandate, in Kushner’s words, was simply 'don't make a bad deal' — and that the two of them had been 'freewheeling it'&lt;/i&gt;, merging separate ceasefire and end-of-war proposals into a single document on their own initiative, then presenting it to the president for his approval.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When asked about doing billions of dollars of business with the same Gulf governments whose representatives were involved in the peace talks, Kushner replied: &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;'What people call conflicts of interest, Steve and I call experience and trusted relationships'.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Witkoff agreed on camera: &lt;i&gt;'We really do'.
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alastair Crooke, a former British diplomat and founder of the Conflicts Forum, described the mechanism in February 2026 [11]. The failure to resolve the Ukraine conflict, he argued, is a feature — one that opens a path for business to be done, for stakeholder deals to be cut, and for billions to be shared out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;
Trump, Witkoff and Kushner are said to be confident that they can construct a financial reward system for western debt-holders, investors and politicians&lt;/b&gt; that succeeds in retaining the financial rewards of war — without the ancillary ingredient of bloodshed.
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The territorial issues, security guarantees, EU membership status, and the position of NATO are, in Crooke's framing, 'downstream details once the larger payment system is organised'.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That sentence deserves to be read twice. The politics is downstream of the payment system, the governance is downstream of the financial architecture, and the settlement conditions are downstream of the clearing house. &lt;b&gt;What Crooke is describing is not a peace process — it is the installation of a new financial system, with conflict resolution as its onboarding mechanism.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mine production remains near ~23 million tons annually, while &lt;a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/openmarkets/metals/2025/Red-Metal-Fired-Up-The-Outlook-for-Copper.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;demand is expected to rise&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from ~28 million tons today to over 40 million tons by 2040, creating sustained deficits beginning this decade and expanding into multi-million-ton shortfalls by the 2030s. New supply cannot respond at the required pace due to declining ore grades, 10–20 year mine development timelines, and insufficient capital investment.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As deficits widen, &lt;a href="https://unctad.org/publication/global-trade-update-may-2025-critical-minerals-copper" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;competition will intensify&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; between major industrial powers, &lt;a href="https://ima-api.org/benchmark-surging-copper-prices-highlight-looming-global-supply-challenges/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;leading to persistent price escalation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, long-term supply lockups, export controls, and resource nationalism in key producing regions such as Chile, Peru, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The result is a structural supply squeeze in which access, not availability, becomes the defining constraint, directly slowing electrification, infrastructure expansion, and industrial growth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Copper is a non-substitutable input in both digital and military systems, making it a strategic bottleneck across civilian and defense sectors. Modern data centers require large volumes of copper for power distribution, transformers, cooling systems, and high-capacity cabling, with AI-driven facilities significantly increasing copper intensity per build.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In parallel, advanced weapons systems, including missiles, radar, naval platforms, aircraft, and electrified vehicles, depend on copper for electrical systems, signal integrity, and energy transfer. As governments simultaneously expand digital infrastructure and rearm militarily, these sectors will compete for the same constrained supply base, ensuring that copper availability becomes a limiting factor in both technological scaling and defense readiness.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Copper is primarily used in electrical systems, power grids, wiring, &lt;a href="https://www.spglobal.com/en/research-insights/special-reports/copper-in-the-age-of-ai" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;AI data centers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, electronics, and electric vehicles, followed by construction, machinery, and transport. Production is concentrated in Chile, Peru, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, while consumption is dominated by China, the United States, and the European Union. Japan is also a major consumer despite having minimal domestic mining, relying heavily on imports and advanced refining capacity to support its electronics, automotive, and industrial manufacturing sectors, making it highly exposed to global supply constraints and price volatility.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Global &lt;a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/global-copper-demand-projected-to-outpace-supply-by-over-500-000-tonnes-in-2025--driving-upward-price-pressure-302563846.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;demand for copper is accelerating sharply&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, driven by its central role in construction, defense, and electrification technologies such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, and power grids. As a key indicator of economic activity, copper is now under mounting pressure: offshore wind alone requires roughly three times more copper per gigawatt than coal-fired power. Yet supply is lagging, current mines and projects are expected to meet only about 80% of global demand by 2030. The shortfall is compounded by labor shortages, regulatory barriers, and local opposition to new mining projects, raising serious concerns about &lt;a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/why-record-high-copper-prices-arent-forecast-to-last" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;whether copper supply can keep pace&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with the rapid expansion of renewable energy infrastructure.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="240" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g8Nar1s5UgM?si=AKUcdOxMJZsD1MaP" title="YouTube video player" width="440"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/g8Nar1s5UgM/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>The American way: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...</title><link>https://abeldanger.blogspot.com/2026/03/blog-post.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Colony)</author><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 12:02:00 -1000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379311326481068845.post-3179602001815068169</guid><description>&lt;b&gt;Editor's note:&lt;/b&gt; ...it's all about cashing in, isn't it?

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;All wars are about money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Cui Bono&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By &lt;a href="https://julianmacfarlane.substack.com/p/all-wars-are-about-money" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;Julian MacFarlane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | March 29, 2026
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
A lot of people think wars are about politics or ideologies or power, which are important factors — but not the main one—money.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The question you must ask is always "&lt;i&gt;cui bono&lt;/i&gt;".
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump promised his MAGA voters he would fight no wars -- but instead fight a system rigged for the wealthy and connected. He would fight for you and me.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/25/trump-iran-oil-insider-trading" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Really?&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;….the Trump administration has systematically dismantled much of the machinery designed to catch insider trading and white-collar fraud.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section — created after Watergate to prosecute corrupt officials — was reduced from 36 lawyers to two last year, according to NOTUS, and stripped of authority to file new cases.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2025, the administration canceled 159 federal enforcement actions against 166 companies — more than 30 of which donated to Trump’s inauguration or White House ballroom, according to Public Citizen.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reuters, citing three anonymous officials, reported that the SEC's top enforcement official resigned last week after agency leaders blocked her from aggressively pursuing cases touching Trump’s circle. A spokesperson said the SEC applies securities laws faithfully in every case and that debate among staff is “common and encouraged."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Now, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is face pressure to investigate "mind-blowing corruption" with strange trading spikes just minutes major policy announcements regarding Iran. &lt;b&gt;Seems the "wealthy and connected" are doing very well indeed!
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
March 23, 2026, the markets suddenly moved —just 15 to 16 minutes before Trump announced he would pause military strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure. This is a pattern we see going back to Maduro's kidnapping. And it continues. &lt;b&gt;Somebody suddenly gets very rich.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Details:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
• A massive $1.5 Billion buy order for S&amp;amp;P 500 futures was placed at roughly 6:50 a.m. ET, assuming a market rally.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Then there was the $580 Million Oil Short with a surge in oil futures trading -- nearly 3,000 contracts sold per minute—a volume 4–6 times higher than normal.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Following the President's post at 7:05 a.m. ET, oil prices plunged by over 10%, while stocks rose sharply, netting the traders an estimated $100 million in profit.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;While the SEC has officially declined to comment, there is a lot of noise about "scrutiny". &lt;b&gt;Noise &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The White House dismisses all allegations as “baseless and irresponsible,” stating they do not tolerate illegal profiteering from insider knowledge.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Somebody in the White House either has a sense of humor or thinks the public is stupid. Maybe both.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have you noticed that stuff "just happens", and the explanations swim in an polluted swamp.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;According to the Forbes 2026 World’s Billionaires List, Trump's net worth has skyrocketed by approximately 183% over the last two years, rising from $2.3 billion in early 2024 to $6.5 billion as of March 2026&lt;/i&gt;.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Cryptocurrency Ventures:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the primary driver of new wealth. The Trump family's flagship platform, World Liberty Financial, and sales of related digital tokens, has added an estimated $1.4 billion to the family fortune since the inauguration. Remember if you are a billionaire, you don't count in millions, only billions. &lt;b&gt;This is the special calculus of entitled greed.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Defense Technology Investments:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members of the Trump family moved into the defense sector just as military spending increased.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eric Trump was announced as a strategic investor in a $1.5 billion merger involving an Israeli drone manufacturer, XTEND, just 11 days before major U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began in February 2026.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donald Trump Jr. joined the venture capital firm, 1789 Capital, which manages over $2 billion and has invested in defense-related startups that subsequently received millions in federal incentives and Pentagon loans.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Media and Real Estate:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the volatility of the stock of Trump Media &amp;amp; Technology the parent company of Truth Social remains a multi-billion dollar asset. All those outrageous statements on Truth Social pay well. Yes, stupidity can pay off.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Real Estate Appreciation:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
High-profile properties like Mar-a-Lago have seen valuations rise, with the club now estimated to be worth approximately $560 million. It really helps to use your home as a Presidential base of operations
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Legal Developments:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's net worth was further bolstered by the dismissal of a major $500 million civil fraud monetary penalty in New York, although the judgement will be appealed.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Gulf Ties&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then there are the Trump family's deep financial ties to Gulf states—such as Jared Kushner's $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia. You understand now why MBS is not supporting Iran and Iran will likely want him deposed.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Oh…you say…but the primary driver of wealth is &lt;i&gt;cryptocurrency&lt;/i&gt;…&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
By Sanya Mansoor | March 23, 2026
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leonid Radvinsky, the owner of OnlyFans, has died of cancer at the age of 43, the company announced on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
Comment: Could this be another case of a turbo-cancer caused by the covid vax?
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="https://etana.substack.com/p/turbo-cancer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Turbo-Cancer: A doctor speaks out about aggressive tumors associated with Covid vaccination&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;"We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a ⁠long battle with cancer," said a spokesperson for the company, best known for subscriptions to pornographic content creators. "His family have requested privacy at this difficult time."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Radvinsky, a Ukrainian-American billionaire with a net worth of about $3.8bn as of May 2025, acquired Fenix International Limited, OnlyFans' parent company, in 2018. He served as the company's director and majority shareholder. Born in Odesa, he grew up in Chicago and studied economics at Northwestern University. &lt;b&gt;According to the Wall Street Journal, he began running pornography sites as a teenager.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In recent months, Radvinsky had engaged in talks to sell a 60% stake in OnlyFans in a sale that would have valued the company at about $8bn. According to OnlyFans, Radvinsky had moved his ownership to a trust in 2024.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OnlyFans, founded in 2016 and best known for pornographic material, allows adult film actors and sex workers to make money from posting content on the subscription-based platform. The company typically takes a 20% cut of payments, leaving the remaining 80% for creators, which resulted in dividends of hundreds of millions of dollars for Radvinsky. The UK-based company grew in popularity during the pandemic and has established itself as a way to generate a significant income online. In addition to superstar adult content creators, its creators also include Olympians and teachers who said their day jobs failed to pay them enough to make ends meet. OnlyFans has said it is focused on empowering women and content creators to post sexually explicit content in a safe online environment.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though OnlyFans has tried to expand beyond sexually explicit content, pornographic material remains its best-known product. In 2021, it briefly announced that it would ban sexually explicit content before quickly reversing course, and some creators on the website promote various interests such as photography, fitness and makeup.

These are Persians strapped and yolked to the profanity of Islam. If you strip away Islam, there's a very strong cultural emphasis on education, especially in math, engineering, and medicine. Many Iranians abroad are disproportionately represented in STEM fields, academia, and high-skill professions. This traces back to a long intellectual tradition (&lt;a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Avicenna" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;think Avicenna&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;), but today it shows up in modern universities and tech sectors. Persians often excel in endurance, improvisation, and long-term perseverance. Persians have long been masters of underground engineering, exemplified by the &lt;a href="https://www.waterhistory.org/histories/qanats/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ancient qanat systems&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; developed in Iran, vast, precisely graded tunnels in granite that carried water across miles of arid terrain without pumps or evaporation. Built with remarkable mathematical accuracy and sustained by vertical access shafts, these networks reflect a deep understanding of geology, patience, and long-term planning. Their durability, many still functioning today, stands as a testament to a civilization that excelled at turning environmental constraint into enduring engineering innovation.

Why would any young American even consider volunteering for the US Army in these treacherous times? Is this what you want to be a part of? &lt;a href="https://southfront.press/u-s-is-scattering-landmines-from-air-near-iranian-missile-bases-photos/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dropping mines on Iranian soil&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that will at some point kill and destroy the lives of Iranian people? Volunteering for the U.S. Army means signing away your freedom to people you don't even know who can send you into extreme danger on their terms, not yours, so if you're not thinking clearly and long-term, you're gambling with your life, not building one no matter what the promises are or all the free shit you will get.&lt;br /&gt;
________&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Army raises enlistment age to 42, eases marijuana restrictions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;
New recruiting rules bump the age limit for recruits from 35 to 42. Easing restrictions on a single marijuana possession conviction "accounts for changes in society," one expert said.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A major &lt;a href="https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN42922-AR_601-210-000-WEB-1.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;update to Army recruiting regulations&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; this week raises the maximum age a recruit can join to 42, and removes a barrier to joining for recruits with a single legal conviction for marijuana or drug paraphernalia possession.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Army's previous limit was 35, though &lt;a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/news/41-year-old-basic-training/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;exceptions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are &lt;a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/news/army-enlist-infantryman/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;occasionally made&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The higher age limit brings the Army in line with other services’ limits of 41 in the Navy and 42 in the Air Force and Space Force, Kate Kuzminski, who studies military recruiting for the Center for a New American Security, told Task &amp;amp; Purpose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Army recruiting officials have noted in recent years that the average age of recruits is increasing, with &lt;a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/news/army-recruiting-fiscal-year-2024/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;officials telling reporters&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in 2024 that the average recruit was 22 years, 4 months, and that it was still "going up."
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kuzminski said the change has positives and negatives. According to a &lt;a href="https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA824-1.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;report she authored for the RAND Corporation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, many older recruits scored higher on enlistment qualification tests than recruits who joined before 20. Those older recruits were also more likely to reenlist and be promoted than their younger peers.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, older recruits were also less likely to graduate from basic training and had higher attrition rates.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older enlistment cap is the latest in the military's &lt;a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/us-military-6-billion-dollars-recruitment-rcna208984" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;multi-billion-dollar overhaul of recruiting&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, launched after years of missed recruiting goals. The Army, the largest branch in the military, failed to meet annual recruiting goals in 2022 and 2023. Changes in recent years to the Army’s recruiting enterprise include installing a pre-boot camp &lt;a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/news/army-soldier-prep-course/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;prep course for recruits who do not initially meet fitness and academic standards&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and creating &lt;a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/culture/army-national-guard-commercial-gen-z/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;marketing schemes to move the Army’s messaging past the post-9/11 wars and appeal to Gen Z&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The changes also reflect an evolving Army workforce with more education and job skills. In 2024, then-Army Secretary Christine Wormuth announced that the service's goal was to have &lt;a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/military-life/army-recruitment-college-degrees/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;one-third of the entire force to hold college degrees&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. For officers, the service has expanded its direct commissioning program for &lt;a href="https://taskandpurpose.com/news/army-direct-commissioning-tech-civilians/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;professionals who have worked in the tech sector&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for a few years and have expertise in artificial intelligence and space, in order to help bolster the Army's technical knowledge across its formations. 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Col. Angela Chipman, chief military personnel accessions &amp;amp; retention division said the enlistment age increase reflects the need for technical talent, even in the enlisted force.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"We're kind of looking at a more mature audience that might have experience in technical fields,” Chipman said. "We need warrant officers with extreme technical capabilities, and those will come from the enlisted ranks."

This calculated systematic wealth extraction from American workers in this predator and prey ecosphere through inflation (eroding 97% of the USD's purchasing power), taxation, and understated Social Security COLAs via manipulated CPI calculations. For a median earner ($60k salary), lifetime losses  total around $3.5 million, far exceeding gross earnings, while higher earners face even higher figures, with cumulative bank profits estimated at $15–25 trillion. Historical events like the 1933 gold confiscation, post-2008 QE (Japan's QE), and BLS changes, frames the system as an organized inter-generational crime syndicate enabled by regulatory capture (and &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYs-kIj-kmU" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;oligarch bitches&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; commonly referred to as "politicians"), lobbying, and media influence (control through fake and staged "news" events).

&lt;br /&gt;This report presents the most comprehensive public accounting ever attempted of how the fractional reserve banking system and "government" systematically extract wealth from ordinary American workers—documented with primary-source evidence, independent AI calculations from four separate models, and quantified in specific dollar figures for workers at every income level.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The analysis covers: the legal architecture that enables monetary extraction; five hallmarks of an organized crime partnership that sustain it; and the three mechanisms through which the median worker ($60K annual salary) loses $938,000–$4.7 million over a 40-year career.

About The Art Of Liberty Foundation
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Art of Liberty Foundation is dedicated to exposing the illegitimacy and criminality of monopoly "government" and central banking/fractional reserve banking, and promoting voluntaryism—the only system of social organization based entirely on consent—as the alternative.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
Executive Summary&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There appears to be an inter-generational organized crime network centered around banking and central banking that appears to have lobbied and bribed the “government”—and potentially helped install a federal "government" in the United States—to allow them to engage in a financial scheme known as fractional reserve banking, where they create money out of thin air and loan it at interest, even though the process is inflationary and systematically steals the purchasing power of the money earned and saved by everyone else.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This process has dramatically impoverished the average worker.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to independent analysis by every major AI system—including xAI's Grok, Google's Gemini, OpenAI's GPT-5.2, and Anthropic's Claude—the median American worker earning &lt;b&gt;$60,000&lt;/b&gt; annually loses between &lt;b&gt;$938,000&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;$1.89&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;million&lt;/b&gt; over a 40-year career to the fractional reserve banking system alone, compared to what they would have received through an honest, non-inflationary monetary system.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the banking system's extraction is only part of the picture. When federal income taxes, payroll taxes (full economic burden), and state and local taxes are added, the median worker loses an additional &lt;b&gt;$818,000&lt;/b&gt; in lifetime tax burden—bringing the combined extraction from banking and government during their working years to approximately &lt;b&gt;$2.7 million&lt;/b&gt;.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For higher earners (&lt;b&gt;$250K annually&lt;/b&gt;), the combined banking extraction and lifetime tax burden reaches &lt;b&gt;$13.6 million&lt;/b&gt; over 40 years.

&lt;br /&gt;
The extraction does not stop at retirement. The federal government’s use of understated CPI for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments costs the median retiree an additional &lt;b&gt;$810,000&lt;/b&gt; over a 20-year retirement—benefits they would have received if COLAs reflected actual inflation rather than the manipulated BLS figures.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This brings the total combined extraction for the median worker to approximately &lt;b&gt;$3.5 million&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;b&gt;147%&lt;/b&gt; of gross lifetime earnings)—and for the $250K earner to &lt;b&gt;$14.2 million&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;b&gt;142%&lt;/b&gt;). (Modeled combined lifetime extraction using official BLS 2% CPI as the conservative baseline; under alternative inflation measures, the total rises substantially.)
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Across all income levels, the combined extraction from fractional reserve banking, government taxation, and SS COLA underpayment claims between &lt;b&gt;116%&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;148%&lt;/b&gt; of what a worker produces over a lifetime of work and retirement. The percentage exceeding &lt;b&gt;100% &lt;/b&gt;reflects the overlapping nature of these mechanisms and the foregone purchasing power gains that an honest monetary system would have delivered through productivity-driven deflation.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These models are actually quite conservative: we used the Fed's &lt;b&gt;2%&lt;/b&gt; annual inflation target, which it frequently misses, and which the Bureau of Labor Statistics has been credibly accused of systematically understating through four documented methodological changes—hedonic quality adjustment (1983), Owner's Equivalent Rent (1983/1985), geometric mean weighting (1999), and ongoing substitution bias adjustments.[12] The actual total extraction &lt;b&gt;is likely 3–5× higher&lt;/b&gt; when measured against alternative inflation indexes such as ShadowStats (avg. ~&lt;b&gt;10%/yr&lt;/b&gt;) and the Chapwood Index (avg. ~&lt;b&gt;9–10%/yr&lt;/b&gt; across 50 US cities), which is covered in detail in this analysis.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are modeled lifetime estimates based on purchasing-power erosion, Cantillon effects, the compound trap of interest on bank-created money, and counterfactual comparisons to a stable or gold-standard monetary system. Actual individual outcomes vary depending on saving and borrowing behavior, but the directional transfer—from wage-earners to the early recipients of newly created money—is an acknowledged feature of monetary theory, not a fringe claim.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under a gold standard system, workers could have done even better. Historical evidence shows that gold-standard periods produced mild, productivity-driven deflation—reducing the cost of necessities and luxuries year over year and more fully transmitting the savings from innovations and productivity improvements directly to workers. The US economy averaged approximately &lt;b&gt;1%&lt;/b&gt; annual deflation from 1880 to 1896 alongside strong real GDP growth, demonstrating that falling prices and economic prosperity are not only compatible but naturally linked.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The AI models predict a lifetime delta—across wages, savings erosion, inflated asset costs (housing, healthcare, education), and foregone compound purchasing power—that plausibly exceeds &lt;b&gt;$1.89 million&lt;/b&gt; for the median worker under the gold standard comparison. These losses include the inflation and loss of purchasing power from excess money creation; the well-recognized Cantillon Effect, where newly created dollars are worth more to those who receive them first and then lose value as prices adjust; and the compounding trap, where workers must borrow ever-larger sums to purchase assets and services driven up by inflation—including housing, education, and healthcare.
