The debt load of the U.S. is growing at a quicker clip in recent months, increasing about $1 trillion nearly every 100 days.

The nations debt permanently crossed over to $34 trillion on Jan. 4, after briefly crossing the mark on Dec. 29, according to data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. It reached $33 trillion on Sept. 15, 2023, and $32 trillion on June 15, 2023, hitting this accelerated pace. Before that, the $1 trillion move higher from $31 trillion took about eight months.

U.S. debt, which is the amount of money the federal government borrows to cover operating expenses, now stands at nearly $34.4 billion, as of Wednesday. Bank of America investment strategist Michael Hartnett believes the 100-day pattern will remain intact with the move from $34 trillion to $35 trillion.

Little wonder debt debasement trades closing in on all-time highs, i.e. gold $2077/oz, bitcoin $67734, he wrote in a note Thursday.

Spot gold is currently hovering around $2,084 an ounce, while bitcoin

was recently around $61,443. The cryptocurrency in February closed out its best month since 2020, briefly trading above $64,000 on Wednesday before pulling back. Inflows into crypto funds are on course for a blowout year, with an annualized inflow of $44.7 billion so far this year, Hartnett noted.

Moodys Investors Service lowered its ratings outlook on the U.S. government to negative from stable in November due to the rising risks of the countrys fiscal strength.

In the context of higher interest rates, without effective fiscal policy measures to reduce government spending or increase revenues, the agency said. Moodys expects that the US fiscal deficits will remain very large, significantly weakening debt affordability.

1.I fully expect to pay more than $106,000 in taxes to the federal government during my lifetime, so it all works out.

2.To not help provide funding to democracies around the world who are under siege from authoritarian attack would actually end up costing us more in the long run.

3.WW2 for example was awfully expensive for us.

4.Just imagine how much we could have saved had we provided Europe the funding and weapons needed to keep Hitler at bay early on.

---

R1. Ok.

R2. But the attacks were pre-planned decades ago, as indicated in the "1991 US-of-A National Defence Strategy"...And many other people have warned about this for decades, such as people within Dr.Greer's Disclosure Movement. Carol Rosin indicated these events in 1977, when she worked as a speaker for Werner Von Braun ( Spell check ). I'll repost the video interview...(Not to mention former POTUS Eisenhower).

R3. The Rockefeller's sold Mr.Hitler Germany's oil...It was transported using submarines via the Canary Islands...Quite a few deceptive & wealthy American Industrialists sold-out on the American people, & made shyte-loads of money...And the same is exactly what's happening right now...You're paying for a needless set-of-wars that were prearranged decades ago, so that some dodgy industrialists gain more wealth & power. You must watch the John Warner IV video's in his thread in here. His family ( his mothers side ) funded Hitler via their bank from the US-of-A. He openly says so, & discusses matters.

R4. Exactly...But the Military Industrial Complex, & more-so the Bankers who fund both parties engaged in war, are greedy mofo's, & "our" lives are worth a few dollars to them through warfare. These seriously ill people are in-fact going down as we speak.

I use Apple, so at least my information is only sold to affluent and weathly people/companies! LOL... but seriously, we are well past the days of using the electric wires in the house to transmit the voice vibrations picked up in the filament of lightbulbs to tap rooms. 

This is just a continuation of the patriot act, no? Just re-named so it sounds less familar?

Also, Rastus -- it's looking like while owning a small business allows for tax deductions at tax time, Uncle Sam is going to get his $106,000 worth of flesh out of me thru the company upon re-payment of that Small Business loan over the next 26 years... You know that $10,500 that was just forgiven on the early Paycheck Protection Plan under Trump and Biden? Well, my 1st payment comes due for the business EIDL this July, and wouldn't you know the differed interest for the differed payments thus far is about $11,000... So yeah, Rastus -- the Government will prolly get well over $106,000 out of me in my lifetime too! In fact, the more I make -- the more they will get. Even if I win the lotto for $800 million, the Government will get $400 million right off the top.

People seem to forget that mortgages back in the 1970's were something on the order of 14-18% interest! And back in the 40's -- 50's and 60's the top income tax bracket was over 90%! I'm nowhere near the top income brackets, but WOW! That would almost ensure that US businesses are re-investing every single bit of that money rather than squirreling it away... wouldn't you think?

I don't put much stock in what PowerStroker says at the moment... my family did not have a holiday house in the bush prior to Ronald Reagan either.

That said, $200 X 52 weeks = $10,400... maybe you missed the part about the business loan being for 30 years? 

I think what bothers me the most however is when I see our Government just GIVING AWAY Billions to other countries, and illegal immigrants -- while I have to pay mine back! I sure hope they know what they are doing, because from where I'm sitting -- it just feels really unfair.  

As it stands, Rastus... I don't make weapons -- nor do I have any gold/coal or mineral mines. I also don't have any large freight shipping tankers by land, sea or air.

I'm happy the business is more established now, "in the books" so to speak... as a small business it's an honor to have the Government trust you enough to loan money, so I'm not at all upset because it did take us thru a really crazy time (COVID)... it's just that during re-payment I'll probably be more hawkish on politics. I agree that in going into my 50's I'm not quite the sping chicken that I was, but I am working much smarter now days -- overhead is still low and for the most part my monthly bills will dip below $1,800 come 24 months from now when everything else is settled. My home will be paid off a decade before the business, and like you said -- a few good years could see everything paid off in short order! Except maybe the house as I like ease of making a small payment every month for taxes and insurance as opposed to big chucks two times a year. My credit score is near 840 currently, much better than before if you remember! The business being able to step up and cover itself after decades of investment was really nice! 

Inflation has been a bitch here in the USA... it's not just been talk! My labor rate has doubled, so that should tell you inflation has been very real! I don't see it going back either, unless there is some sort of major recession. 2008 saw serious corrections to real estate, more or less like a whip-saw because it happened so fast... that is sort of how inflation has taken hold -- however housing values shot back up and even higher than ever before. I think these inflated prices are here to stay... the days of a .49 cent taco are over... best you can do now days is a Costco hotdog deal, but even that cost an annual membership fee above $100! LOL

Yo,

I really didn't want to post this up, as I'd like everyone to appreciate the extraordinary effort PowerStroker put into that sublime 460 V-8 bullet-proof refresher, & yet this has to be worth a laugh or two...

This is in my mailbox, & I'm in Australia remember...( And I have no idea how he got my e-mail address yo ) !!! ( Some added mild editing for names-sake by myself included )...



Biden Victory Fund

Welcome to the Biden-Harris campaigns grassroots team. Youre getting this email because you have previously supported Democrats, and your commitment will help us win again in 2024.

For me, the choice in this election is clear: Donald Trumps campaign is all about him. Its not about America and not about you. His campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. He is willing to sacrifice our democracy to put himself in power.

My campaign is different. My campaign is about all of us. Its about OUR future together. And preserving and strengthening OUR democracy. Thats why I am asking you to be a part of it today.

We're facing millions and millions of dollars of attack ads from MAGA extremists like Trump in states across the country and I need your help if were going to win this election.

Your support matters. Your donation matters. It's our only chance to fund a winning campaign.

That is my word as a Biden.

$1 to help us fight back against the attack ads from MAGA extremists who will do everything they can to return to the White House.

$1 because democracy doesn't happen by accident. We have to defend it, fight for it, strengthen it, renew it.

$1 because we are still in a battle for the soul of America, and I can't do this without you.

As you read this, thousands of people are chipping in to our campaign because they share these same values. If you do too, I hope youll join them by donating today.

To not understand that the US is the leading cause of these two great threats

1.Regarding greenhouse gas production, yes, absolutely the US is one of the leading causes.

2.But I take issue with the idea that the US is a leading cause of the next world war.

3.The United States didn't invade Ukraine, Putin did.

4.The US is the arsenal of democracy, and if Putin starts a world war, you'd better believe that he will find himself on the receiving end of that ordinance, but it is not the fault of the United States if the war happens.

5.Rather it is thanks to the United States that such a war will eventually end with democracy defeating tyranny.

6.History has shown this repeatedly.

R1. Many countries are in this instance. The real problem is the illegal sequestering of technologies already developed that will fix all these issues, as most of the Sirius Disclosure Witnesses reveal, & this information is over 20-years old. So the issue is a Corporate one, & the corporations own the politicians etc etc.

R2. The US-of-A illegally placed missiles in the countries that surround the Ukraine, after signing treaties in the 1990's not to do so, NATO countries or otherwise. This war was planned, as indicated in the 1991 US-of-A Defence Strategy for the new century that I've posted a few times already. Typically New World Order shyte.

R3. Putin was forced to. See R2.

R4. The US-of-A is the worlds leader in modern weapons design & sales. See what's been used in the Middle east, & who's buying-it-all-up.

R5. That's the way the war profiteers work, & make money quickly, whilst deceiving the home population...Democracy works one-way-only in this world at the moment, & that's the US-of-A way of "Democratic Dictatorship". Check out results at the next Bilderberg meeting or sausage-festival at the up-coming Bohemian Grove...

R6. Yes indeed, see below...

This is the Owl that the US-of-A leaders gather to worship at Bohemian Grove every year...Human sacrifices are said to be offered, in this ancient Babylonian ritual, asking for aid in warfare & tyranny...

It sure isn't Democracy.

But the world is changing, & the above will be a thing-of-the-past. The ET's are making themselves known, so that we learn that we are acting like dick-heads in the Universal scheme-of-things, & that it's time to get our act together, clean our planet up, & live in universal peace with one-another.

No more bullshyte !

ROTFLMAO !!! ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^

Yo,

This article reveals where Israel is getting its apparent funding from...But does it matter ??? Little-too-late perhaps, but did Genocide-Joe even know, or even care ??? He has Military Industrial Complex jobs to look after remember !

How a Hedge Fund Manager and Right-Wing Donor is Financing an Israeli Influence Op Masquerading as a Journalism Project
by Ken Silverstein

Paul Singer is a rapacious hedge fund manager and leading donor to the GOP and pro-Israel groups who retains a raft of corporate intelligence firms to slant the news in ways that favor his personal and political interests. In his spare time, he plots to topple governments and beggar citizens in the Third World to increase profit margins at Elliott Investment Management, the investment firm he founded and controls.

Charles Krauthammer, whos dead, worked for the Carter administration writing bland, dreary speeches for bland, dreary Vice President Walter Mondale before morphing into a right-wing pundit whose columns were as lifeless and dull as the tripe he penned for his former boss in the White House West Wing. A rabid Zionist like Singer, Krauthammer never met an Israeli war crime he couldnt turn into an op-ed that claimed it never happened, but if it had Palestinians were to blame.

What do you get when you combine Singer and Krauthammer? Voilà! The Krauthammer Fellowship, which awards 15 positions annually to aspiring writers, journalists, scholars, and policy analysts under the age of 35 and provides them with editorial mentorship and help placing their work. The fellowship is run by the New York-based Tikvah Fund, which runs media, educational, and policy programs in the US, Israel, and other countries as part of its broad goal of building a new generation of committed Zionists.

This years coterie includes Kassy Dillon, an opinion journalist and political commentator for the Daily Wire who previously was the US editor for Jewish News Syndicate and a video journalist for Fox News Digital; Adam Hoffman, a policy advisor on the DeSantis for President campaign whos written for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and National Review; and Zineb Riboua, a research associate and program manager of the Hudson Institutes Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, whose work has appeared Foreign Policy and Tablet. If the Israeli government directly handpicked the Krauthammer fellows, it couldnt have found a more reliable, devoted group of media cheerleaders which, of course, is the programs fundamental purpose.

The Krauthammer Fellowship was launched in 2019, a year after his death, and was established to honor his dedication to pursuing truth through honest, rigorous argument, in the words of the Tikvah Funds website, though that description bears absolutely no resemblance to its namesakes oeuvre. An egregious hack and one-man state-controlled news outlet, Krauthammer ceaselessly churned out bilge throughout his career, with a heavy focus on Americas special role in the world, its superficially similar but somehow entirely distinctive special place in the world, and the special responsibility the United States must carry on its shoulders as a result, all which he noted in a single sentence of a particularly turgid 2003 Washington Post op-ed.

Krauthammer was lauded by his peers as an expert on the Middle East, which he demonstrated in an article published shortly before the US invasion of Iraq the same year. The US had no choice but to take out Saddam Hussein, he argued, because with the nuclear weapons he was likely to have in his arsenal soon (though it turned out he never came close and wasnt even trying) along with the weapons of mass destruction he already has (which he didnt), the Iraqi leader posed a threat of mass death on a scale never before seen residing in the hands of an unstable madman, which was intolerableand must be preempted.

A close friend of Benjamin Netanyahu, who described their relationship as like brothers, Krauthammer wrote an essay in 2006 that summarized the entire history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a dispute that began six decades earlier when the UN voted to create a Jewish state and a Palestinian state side by side, and while the Jews accepted the compromise, the Palestinians rejected it. Israel survived, which was its original sin and the reason why Palestinians had hated their good-hearted neighbors ever since.

All this makes the Tikvah Fund, which is staffed from top to bottom with Israeli diehards, a logical sponsor of the Krauthammer Fellowship. The organizations current board includes Elliott Abrams, who ranks near the top of any credible list of most nauseating US government officials of modern times along with the likes of Henry Kissinger and Samantha Power; and Terry Kassel, a major fundraiser for pro-Israel groups who the Jerusalem Post put on its list of Top 50 Most Influential Jews of 2022, and who holds a number of positions with Elliott Investment Management and is a director of the Singer Foundation as well.

The Tikvah Fund isnt shy about promoting its role managing the Krauthammer Fellowship, which is extensively discussed on the organizations website. The financing provided by Singer, on the other hand, is only obliquely noted on the Funds site, which says it runs the project in partnership with his foundation.

For its part, the Singer Foundation makes no mention at all of the Krauthammer Fellowship or the Tikvah Fund on its own website, which is incredibly stingy about providing details about any of its operations and activities. Not a single current or past grant recipient is identified, theres no information about how to apply, and indeed theres nothing on the website at all beyond a concise bio of Singer, which says the New York Times has called him one of the most revered hedge fund managers on Wall Street, and an equally sparse description of the Foundation that says its priorities include supporting free-market and pro-growth economic policies, the rule of law, intellectual diversity on campuses, US national security, individual freedom, the future of Israel and the Jewish people.

The discretion is probably due to Singers prominent, and not generally flattering, role in the public spotlight. A textbook vulture capitalist, hes perhaps best known for buying up the sovereign debt of countries teetering on the brink of bankruptcy for pennies on the dollar and using his political influence, money and army of lawyers to coerce their governments to pay it back for multiple times more. His most spectacular success came in Argentina, where his hedge funds activities over many years ultimately led to the collapse of the government and pushed vast numbers of people into poverty.

Between 2021 and 2022, Singer was the seventeenth largest political contributor in the US and the tenth biggest to the Republican Party, whose political committees and candidates received the entirety of the $22 million he shelled out during that period, according to OpenSecrets.com. Hes also a major donor and past or current board member at many right-wing think tanks and advocacy groups, including the Republican Jewish Coalition, the Claremont Institute, and the Manhattan Institute, which published a vicious anti-Muslim article the day after the Christchurch mass murderer killed more than 50 people at two mosques in 2019, saying he was expressing a legitimate concern, as reported here by the Public Accountability Initiative, better known as LittleSis.

Singer has also spent heavily to support conservative publications and reporters, with Commentary and the Washington Free Beacon being two of the outlets hes financed. Another of Singers pet causes is getting information into the press that makes him and his hedge fund look good, and to advance his political and financial interests. One of the ways hes accomplished the latter is by retaining the services of a variety of Washington private intelligence firms, including Fusion GPS Ill be writing more about some of the other companies whove worked for Singer a little bit down the road which he hired during the early days of the 2016 presidential campaign to compile dirt on Donald Trump in order to help Marco Rubio, his No. 1 choice,.

Singer has supplemented the cash he dispenses to conservative causes out of his own deep pockets with money from his foundation, which has assets just north of $1 billion, according to its latest nonprofit tax filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Neither the foundation nor the Tikvah Fund disclose how much Singer has dispensed to underwrite the Krauthammer Fellowship, which initially provided fellows with a full-time salary for two years but subsequently reduced the term to nine months and the compensation to a paltry $5,000.

Its still a pretty sweet gig that pays for fellows to attend retreats and conferences, among a range of sweeteners. The lucky few selected to be Krauthammer Fellows are hard to distinguish based on their bios at the Tikvah Funds website. Tuvia Gerin is an Israeli Army Reserve Captain and nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council. Andrew Gabel is a past special advisor to Senator Tom Cotton and research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Daniel Samet is another ex-staffer for Cotton and Graduate Fellow at the Rumsfeld Foundation, which I could add a lot more about, but the name is really all you need to know.

Student radicals and outside agitators who had watched university administrators capitulate to mob tactics at Columbia, Yale, and other universities thought they could get away with the same antics in Texas, Samet, a past awardee, wrote in a story published in National Review two months ago thats listed on the Tikvah Funds website as an example of Krauthammer Fellows prime work. Boy were they wrong. It praised the University of Texas at Austin for approving cracking heads of pro-Hamas students protesting Israels military assault on Gaza, unlike the namby-pamby liberal administrators at Columbia, Yale, and other universities who chose to capitulate to mob tactics.

What pure evil looks like, the headline above another story featured by the Tikvah Fund that was co-authored by current fellow Kassy Dillon for Fox News quoted LeElle Slifer, a US citizen who had family members taken hostage by Hamas last October 7. Israel cares for innocent people, no matter whether they are Palestinian or Jewish, Slifer told Dillon. They dont want to hurt anyone.

Other articles written by past and present Krauthammer Fellows that the Tikvah Fund promotes include Harvard Shrugs at Jew Hatred by J.J. Kimche in the Wall Street Journal; Why and How to Revive American Anti-Communism by Gary Dreyer in Commentary; and In the City of Slaughter by Daniel Kane in Public Discourse, which needless to say wasnt a reference to any of the towns in Gaza the Israeli military has turned into graveyards of rubble, but to the collective plight of Israelis and Jews, like the author, who prior to last October 7 had been cocooned in the security blanket provided by the IDF and the Iron Dome and falsely imagined the Jewish people had entered a new chapter of their historysafely divorced from the agony and fear that dominated Jewish life for more than 2,000 years.

While these stories may not be remembered as historic works of journalism generations from now, thats not what Singers paying for. His goal is to gin up pro-Israel propaganda and apologias for war crimes committed by the Israel Defense Force, and in that regard hes probably getting a better return on investment than is indicated by the abysmal work product of Charles Krauthammers worthy successors.
