“It’s going to be all downhill from here,” he wrote in an opinion piece for CNBC. “Massive losses are coming in venture capital-funded start-ups that are, in some cases, as much as 50 percent overvalued.”   Continue reading “Silicon Valley’s biggest ever tech bubble about to burst”

In the latest sign that the FBI is closing in on former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen, one of the Brooklyn lawyer’s business partners has reportedly agreed to cooperate with the Federal government to avoid jail time.

Evgeny Freidman, who was disbarred earlier this month, had been Cohen’s business partner for years, helping him manage an expansive taxi empire until he was banned by New York City regulators last year after he failed to pay more than $5 million in taxes.   Continue reading “Cohen Business Partner Reportedly Flips, Cooperates With Feds “To Avoid Jail Time””

Few Americans realize that the U.S. economy is being propped up by the Shale Oil Industry.  However, the shale oil industry is nothing more than a Ponzi Scheme, so when it collapses, it will take down the U.S. economy with it.  Unfortunately, the reason few Americans understand how lousy the economics are in producing shale oil and gas is due to the misinformation and propaganda being put out by the industry and energy analysts.

I am quite surprised how bank analysts and brokerage firms can continue to fund the shale oil and gas or advise clients to purchase stock when the industry is behaving just like the Bernie Madoff Ponzi Scheme.  The only big difference is that the U.S. Shale Industry is a Ponzi at least four times greater than Madoff’s $65 billion fiasco.   Continue reading “The Shale Oil Ponzi Scheme Explained: How Lousy Shale Economics Will Pull Down The U.S. Economy”

In yet another sign that broader war between Israel, Syria, and Iran may be on the horizon Israel’s Channel 10 has revealed in an exclusive broadcast that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently ordered all national security cabinet meetings to be held in a secure underground bunker in Jerusalem. 

The National Security Cabinet (NSC), also known as the “inner cabinet,” is akin to the US National Security Council and convenes regularly under the authority of the prime minister in the Prime Minister’s building in Jerusalem. However, according to Channel 10’s Barak Ravid, who broke the story, Netanyahu made the decision out of fear of leaks related to “sensitive discussions on Syria and Iran.”    Continue reading “Netanyahu Orders Cabinet Meet In Secret Underground Bunker, Fears Leaks On Syria And Iran”

In the shocking new maps seen within this ANP story that we got from this new story over at Zero Hedge, we see how close we now are to the complete destruction of the middle class of America with more than 40% of US households unable to afford the basics of a middle-class lifestyle which includes rent, transportation, childcare a cellphone and of course, food.

As the Organic Prepper reports in this new story that Steve Quayle linked to on his website this morning, when 43% of American households are unable to pay for food and rent each month, we can safely say we’ve reached the ‘economic collapse’ that many ‘Watchmen’ have long warned was coming. And while Rasmussen Reports put out this story back in December titled “Trump’s First Year Accomplishments Compiled In Shockingly Long List” shows some signs of headway, poverty is still exploding all across America.    Continue reading “Maps Prove Globalists Takedown Of America Is Accelerating”

Construction on the US White House began in 1792. It has been almost continuously occupied by US presidents since 1800, barring a few years after the British set it on fire in 1814.

But that doesn’t mean that the present-day building is free of hazards—there are mice, cockroaches, and ants. And as of this past weekend, a sinkhole has been growing on the north lawn, Voice of America reporter Steve Herman observed, just near the press briefing room.   Continue reading “An actual sinkhole has opened on the White House lawn.

At the age of 46, DeWayne Johnson is not ready to die. But with cancer spread through most of his body, doctors say he probably has just months to live. Now Johnson, a husband and father of three in California, hopes to survive long enough to make Monsanto take the blame for his fate.

On 18 June, Johnson will become the first person to take the global seed and chemical company to trial on allegations that it has spent decades hiding the cancer-causing dangers of its popular Roundup herbicide products – and his case has just received a major boost.   Continue reading “Landmark lawsuit claims Monsanto hid cancer danger of weedkiller for decades”
