Yea, I had predicted that that the corporate office space (and commercial real estate) vacancy issue was going to be one of the BIG results of the lockdowns, due to the (so called) pandemic. In fact, it should have been a no-brainer. And, just something else you'll just about never hear reported in the main stream media. Including, the disparity between income and the cost of housing, which I think HAS to result in some kind of real estate market crash. The housing affordability thing has become a HUGE problem, as wage growth has not even come close to matching the spike in the cost of housing in much of the United States, which has been exasperated by many of the corporate, wall street, private equity, hedge fund real estate investors, and some other factors...

"BlackRock just walking away from commercial real estate is a clear sign they feel like they are 'too big to fail.' They are setting up for a gov bailout - because they know they can. This is all the signal you need, to know something is wrong." -YouTube Viewer

Yea, this is not only troubling, but it is also unlawful; and a violation of The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and The Bill of Rights. End of story...

Yea (once again) I am not particularly very religious, but this passage from the Christian Bible is kinda' interesting (for more reasons then one) as it also seems to sorta' line up with many other so called (spiritual) prophecies within other cultures (and religions) around the world as well...
And while I'm on this, just to show what absolute morons these guys really are, there is another very interesting quote in the Bible that says: "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, but only to lose his own soul?" I mean, David Rockefeller himself, and many others (like JP Morgan, David Koch, etc., with their plans for world domination and all) are all dead now! (In other words, nobody lives forever). Duh. I don't get it?
Right to the point, and cutting thru all the bullsh*t as usual. And ya' know what's funny? (For lack of a better word). Celente is right about the official definition for 'Politician.' Because when you google: 'politician definition' (or use Bing for instance) this is what you get: "A person who is professionally involved in politics, especially as a holder of or a candidate for an elected office." Okay, understandable definition. But also, and here's the real interesting part: "A person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization." Whoa, he was right! Just had to finally check that out for myself, regarding what I have heard Celente say, on more then one occasion. I'm not saying ALL politicians fit this 2nd (alternate) definition, but it definitely makes ya think, and also, unfortunately makes ALLOT of sense, for what (at least) by now, should be obvious reasons. Because, it really is sad, what is currently goin' on.
No doubt about it. I see the W.H.O. though, as being a big part of this. Just sayin'...
"It couldn't be any more obvious." So true. When you're right, you're right. But this is about more then just being a Democrat or a Republican. Or a Conservative or Liberal. (Even though now, it seems like the Democrats have become the bad guys). It's a matter of being right or wrong. It's about character and ethics. And that's the problem with political labels, and our current two party system. And why it keeps going back and forth. It's just not working anymore. Both parties are bought. And this current state of affairs has like made that more obvious then ever before. We need a completely new political system...
I was surprised to come across this video by Scott Baio, and thought it was worth posting here, because of some of the things he brings up. As they are very important things that need to be said. Yea, I agree, dudes like Newsom, Cuomo, De Blasio, etc are monsters. And they pretty much fu*ked their cause, and proved that they weren't sincere (or good people) to begin with, in my strong opinion anyway. In fact, they may have permanently ruined it for allot of people in this country, who want things like a federally mandated livable minimum wage, Universal Health Care, getting off of fossil fuels to renewable energy, etc. But, as I have said before, pretty much more then any other country in the free world, the U.S. has ALL the warning signs; and (currently, at least) we seem to be living in like, a failed state...
For instance, most of the Scandinavian countries like Sweden for example, are considered somewhat "Socialist" countries, and have never locked-down, and are doing just fine. But our country, in particular, has locked on to this COVID 19 Pandemic hysteria, like flies on shit, for a reason. But many people just can't, or really don't want to see it, or admit, that our two party system is just not working anymore, and that we need a whole new system. But that takes allot of work, unity of purpose, and allot of integrity (and wisdom) on a pretty large scale, to make that happen; and many of our politicians (because they're basically just incredibly corrupt) are betting on the opposite. And, so far at least, they seem to be right. And that's why we have all what is going on right now. (It seems to have been brewing for a long time). There's like just no common sense any more. (And that goes back to the wisdom, and character, thing). Sad...
Incredible fact, that Gerald points out here, that most people are probably not even aware of: Which is, the head of CNN had advised the news network to keep pumping out the Corona Virus pandemic hysteria to increase ratings! No surprise to me AT ALL. But this is extremely important to understand, and why I have said before, that much of our media has become way too corrupt, and has WAY too much power...
And that's why most of the other media outlets are all like, following in their footsteps; as I totally agree with Celente here, that the numbers are just not adding up...
Not to even mention the fact, that Dr. Fauci himself has admittedly lied from the very beginning! (So why doesn't Trump remove him? Its mind boggling in itself).
He is one deceitful, creepy human being (himself) if you ask me...
This whole sham has got to be investigated, so that this catastrophe can never happen again; but Washington is infested to begin with. So, people have to wake up and demand change, because (like the unique to America mass shootings) it's like WAY out of control now...
But I tell ya', I really don't see it in the soul of America. (Generally speaking).
From what I have seen so far, with all the violently stupid race riots (which the media also seems to be influencing) among other things, I really don't think the country has what it takes. (Generally speaking). Hope I'm wrong, but yea, I really don't see it.
(At least, not at this point in time). So, I guess we have to see where this latest abomination goes. Whew...
Founded by Gerald Celente, "Occupy Peace & Freedom" is a not-for-profit movement to honor the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which are being continually violated by politicians who take us to war and rob us of our Freedoms to fulfill their agendas...

Yea, I TOTALLY agree, Governor Cuomo is freakin' OUT OF CONTROL!
He is PURE ego, and arrogance, and a dangerous sociopath, in my strong opinion anyway. It seems to me, that he is like 10x worse then even his father...
I lived in New York, when his father, Mario, was governor. He was an extreme Neo-Liberal (who never saw an oppressive tax that he didn't like) and the main reason why I had become a registered Republican back then, before eventually, years later, registering as a Democrat during the disaster that was the Bush presidency...
But yea, Andrew Cuomo is a POTENTIAL disaster himself. He is using this situation for his own political ends. He is a potential NIGHTMARE! Take it from me...
Looks like the establishment Democrats have really fu**ed themselves BIG TIME this time around. With all that said, however, I do not necessarily agree with Celente's rather brief assesment of FDR, when he became president at the beginning of the Great Depression back in the 1930's. Cuomo is DEFINITELY NO FDR! (Even if he is attempting to pretend to be, for political reasons, and negative political motives). Although, in all honesty, I would need to do more reseach regarding what Celente is saying, that seems to be in reference to the confiscation of gold during that presidency, and as a response to the severity of the Depression back then. (Which many believe, was sorta' like, an indirect result of the somewhat recently established Federal Reserve, and its influence on the economy and the stock market, to begin with). I mean, FDR may not have been perfect, and maybe even made some mistakes, but one thing is for sure, neither Cuomo nor Biden are even REMOTELY close to being like FDR...
Neither here nor there, but I am beginning to start to believe (as often suggested by Jimmy Dore for instance) that we need some kind of separate, alternative, major third party, with the base foundation of its platform being the public funding of elections. Because (once again) its like WAY out of control now. But again, that's basically up to the american people. Some interesting YouTube viewer comments: "The country is committing suicide out of fear of death." -D. Anderson "This is not about a virus." -Bk Bk
Case in point...
However, with all these things being said, and what Jimmy Dore fails to mention, here anyway, is that Bernie Sanders (an Independent, who often votes along Democratic lines) did fight (big time) for a just Unemployment Insurance Compensation package, that many of the Republicans, like Lindsey Graham for instance, are against. Let's face it, they totally screwed up the economy to begin with, with all the forced business closings, so what are people supposed to do? Work for min wage, if they can even get that? (Most people cannot pay their bills with that to begin with). And I think Pres. Trump would still sign this bill, which does go to what Dore has been saying, about Trump actually going to the left of some of the establishment Democrats, like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Manchin, for instance. However, the fear mongering among many of the Democrats, HAS JUST GOT to stop. Its scaring people half to death, and what has been a primary factor in causing the destruction of the economy to begin with.
In other words, they owe it to the country to begin wtih, for fu**ing it up, in the first place!
And it very well may turn out to be, just all smoke and mirrors, as it is now all just digital money anyway; because with a flick of the switch (so to speak) the Federal Reserve (and Central Banks) could technically establish, like a year of Jubilee, and wipe out all world debt to begin with! So, we have to see where this ultimately all REALLY goes,
it seems to me...
Yea, I may not always agree with Gerald Celente's choice of words, expressions, and such, but I think he is right on. And looks like I was RIGHT ON once again myself. Because, remember what I wrote in my previous post below dated March 8th? I said: "The course the country is presently on, is basically unsustainable. I mean, its like a law of physics. Which leads me to believe, this is all leading to something, in relation to some kind of agenda, quite possibly. As I know, that many of the type of individuals involved, are also certifiably insane." Well, here we go. Just like I said. ('Cause I know their psychological profile LIKE A BOOK now!) And this may not even be the "end all, be all," as the saying goes. This could eventually fizzle out, and they could come up with something else to take its place. Or they could possibly continue this indefinitely, or until a certain purpose is achieved. Either way, it all boils down to the same thing. One way or the other. I have to say though, this definitely reminds me of 9/11 in allot of ways. That's what I mean: Same sh*t, different story. Jeez, no further comment... They're watching this. (The bad guys, I mean). I'm getting that strong impression again. (But why?) Hmm. It'll come to me. It ALWAYS does...
Yea, I agree with some of the comments on YouTube regarding this video, in particular, the comment in reference to it all being about the Globalist agenda, and control.
I don't necessarily believe that EVERYONE (among the elite) is evil, or that EVERTHING is a conspiracy though. (Although, of course, the bad guys watching this thing, IS like conspiracy related, from what I am seeing, hearing, and intuitively picking up).
I do think (or would like to think, anyway) that there are still some pretty good leaders out there, though some may also be somewhat mis-guided. And I do also believe, that there is always hope, although much of that also depends on a mass awakening of decent people doing the right thing, and acting in the right way; which will determine which countries (and communities) ultimately succeed (or fail) and which countries learn from the experience, or just stay out of this mess altogether, like Iceland, for example...
I really like this guy. He is DEFINITELY, one of the smartest guys in the race right now; although, granted, I don't necessarily know a whole lot about him at this time.
Makes a ton of sense though. And some of his solutions are incredibly practical (compassianate) just, and brilliant. (So, I guess we can count him out, huh?)
I also like this comment from a YouTube viewer: "I like Yang. He is not clinically insane. Gives him the edge." -Neil Mo Funny. Sad, but funny...
There is allot of truth and food for thought in this very informative video, however, I do also agree with at least most of the comment from a YouTube viewer here - where he says: "This is very sophisticated propaganda, facts mixed with half-thruths and lies. Make no mistake, that "financial writer" and the forbes guy are both lackeys of the billionaire-oligarchs. These super-rich control today all of government, simply by buying elections. They are never satisfied with their wealth, no matter how many billlions they are piling up, it`s never enough. There is one thing they want: MORE. And they are getting it, by depleting the last natural sources, by grinding people with slave like jobs and by cannibalizing public assets like schools, water supply etc etc Privatizing derives from the word privateer, that again derives from the latin word privo which literally means robbing.Money is not the issue, it`s owners vs the people that actually work. Warren Buffet said it himself: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” -Mr. D
Never-the-less, the historical fact, at least here in the U.S. - is that it was President Nixon who took the country off of the Gold Standard, and in my opinion anyway, that was a very bad thing; and this video documentary also makes another extremely important point, that this was a disaster for previous civilizations as well, especially when they used it in the endless cycle of imperialism - to fund more and more wars (instead of for the benefit of the general public) as was the case with the Roman Empire, and a big reason as to why it eventually fell...
Surprising reporting on MSNBC. Just one more blog post (before I put this topic to rest) in this series on progressive, economic, philosophical, political, cultural and sociological related issues, that I think is very interesting, and very relevant to the times we are currently living, in more ways then one...
