Who could it be?

SOTN: THE LARGEST GLOBAL CRIME SYNDICATE & MOST MURDEROUS CRIME SPREE IN WORLD HISTORY.

Because this well concealed conspiratorial criminal network was directly responsible for starting World War I and World War II, engineering the Great Depression, and provoking the Korean War and Vietnam War (and every war thereafter), they made untold trillions of dollars from war profiteering.  They also profited handsomely from all of the various business enterprises that are peripheral to war-making.   For example, the loan-sharking that always goes on between predatory banking institutions and needy nations under attack is particularly lucrative.

Oklahoma bank shut down by US Regulators.

Daily HODL: Bank Abruptly Shut Down by US Regulators in Second Bank Failure of 2024.

Financial regulators just shut down a bank in Oklahoma, marking the second US bank failure of 2024.

The First National Bank of Lindsay has been shuttered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

The agency says it took action after identifying false and deceptive bank records and other information that suggests fraud depleted the bank’s capital.

“The OCC also found that the bank was in an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business and that the bank’s assets were less than its obligations to its creditors and others.”

The OCC is also forwarding the matter to the US Department of Justice.

Off to the DOJ, eh? Well Merrick Garland will be right on top of it, you betcha! 

But wait, there's more! More banks on the verge of failing:

$517,000,000,000 in Unrealized Losses Hit US Banking System. 63 lenders on brink of insolvency.

Substack - Gregory Mannarino: $517,000,000,000 in Unrealized Losses Hit US Banking System, FDIC Says.

In its latest Quarterly Banking Profile report, the FDIC notes that banks now face over half a trillion dollars in paper losses on their balance sheets, primarily due to their exposure to the residential real estate market. These unrealized losses, the gap between the purchase price of securities and their current market value, are becoming a significant burden.

DC Patriot: $517,000,000,000 in unrealized losses hits US Banking System as FDIC Warns 63 Lenders on Brink of Insolvency.

“The number of banks on the Problem Bank List, those with a CAMELS composite rating of ‘4’ or ‘5’, rose from 52 in the fourth quarter of 2023 to 63 in the first quarter of 2024. This figure represents 1.4% of all banks, a range considered normal for non-crisis periods, typically between 1% and 2%. The total assets held by problem banks increased by $15.8 billion to $82.1 billion during the quarter,” the FDIC stated.
[.]
Despite these concerning trends, the FDIC assures that the US banking system is not in imminent danger. However, it warns that ongoing inflation, fluctuating market rates, and geopolitical issues continue to exert pressure on the industry.

"...and geopolitical issues..."  Gee, I wonder what those might be?

Does the FDIC's assurance there's no imminent danger put you at ease?

Trump supports Crypto; Freeing Silk Road's Ross Ulbricht.

Crypto News: Industry support and the Silk Road founder release: what Trump promises to the crypto community.

[Trump] promised to release the founder of the darknet marketplace Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht. If he wins the election, Trump promised to cancel the sentence on the first day.
[.]
He also pledged to support self-custody rights for the nation’s 50 million digital assets holders.

The story mentions Trump has solid and large support from the digital currency community while they view Biden and Handlers as anti-crypto, which they are. The article states Trump saying he'd never allow the launch a CBDC.

Great; yeah! 👍👍

Trump should've pardoned Ulbricht, along with Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, his first time around.

Coffee prices removed from CPI index due to cost increase.

More fake and illusory Bidenomics on the way.

Hit the link. (It'll help if you have an X account). 

All the economic and job creation data spewed by this wretched, lying Biden Administration for the past 3.5 years is Cook Book Numbers and is never to be trusted.

There goes $3.3 Billion. Fire up the Fed!

$3.3 Billion...for a guy Biden calls an, "a**hole,"?


Biden can call me an, "a**hole," all day long, every day - and I'll do it for One Billion! 

These people sure can give away money to anyone except U.S. Veterans and  American citizens who need it.

PacWest Shares Plunge 60%, More Banks Drawn Into Quagmire.

MSN: PacWest Shares Plunge 60%, More Banks Drawn Into Quagmire.

PacWest shares plunged by 60 percent in after-hours trading Wednesday, raising concerns that the Los Angeles-headquartered bank might be the latest victim of the turmoil sweeping through the banking sector ever since the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in March.
[.]
Growing anxiety over the fate of PacWest and other smaller banks in the future would likely increase pressure on the Fed, which in the aftermath of the SVB's collapse was widely expected to pause its interest rate hikes.

Another smaller bank, Western Alliance, saw its shares drop by as much as 38 percent in after-hours trading on Wednesday.

But despite predictions and expectations, the Fed has so far persisted in its strategy.

^ The Fed's Strategy ^

Maybe...if we all started wearing masks again the bank failures will stop.

More bank failures on the way?

Hit The Kobeissi Letter at Twitter for ongoing updates. The outlook...let's just say it's not optimistic.

Conservative Playbook: Are PacWest and Western Alliance the Next 2 Dominoes to Fall?

Things weren’t supposed to move this quickly.  Just hours after First Republic was dissected, two more major banks are in very serious trouble.

Are the dominoes going to start to fall more quickly than we were anticipating?  After his bank gobbled up First Republic, Jamie Dimon told the world that “this part of the crisis is over”, and many in the corporate media believed him.
[.]
Both institutions are now highly vulnerable, and as Dick Bove has aptly noted, those that have made massive amounts of money from recent bank failures are searching for their next victim[.]
[.]
Of course PacWest and Western Alliance are not the only potential targets.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell punked by Russian Prank Callers.

🤣

NY Mag: Jerome Powell Got Punked by Russian Prank Callers.

...it’s a little jarring to see that on Thursday, the gray-haired Powell was made the butt of a joke by two Russian pranksters crudely posing as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This happened back in January, but Powell apparently thought this call was a private one with the world leader and talked candidly about how a recession was just as likely as it was not, and it is now making the rounds on Russian media and Twitter.

BBC: Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell pranked by Russians.

Comedians Vladimir Krasnov and Alexei Stolyarov - known as Vovan and Lexus - claimed credit for the stunt.
[.]
In one of the clips shared on Russian television, Mr Powell praised Russia's central bank chief Elvira Nabiullina for managing the Russian economy amid Western sanctions, according to the BBC Monitoring service.

Other video now circulating on the internet shows Mr Powell describing a sharp slowdown in growth in the US, following the bank's efforts to rein in price rises.

"We would tell you that a recession is almost as likely as very slow growth," he said of expectations for 2023. "I think that is partly because of us having raised rates quite a bit but this is what it takes to get inflation down."
[.]
"Embarrassing moment for the Fed," chimed in Jesse Cohen, global markets analyst at Investing.com.

"Embarrassing moment for the Fed." Ya think?

Powell needs to go. Didn't care for his policies during Trump's term, he shouldn't have been appointed, still don't care for his policies.

This wasn't a perfect phone call. Resign.

Biden says, no recession this year or next year.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.........mark! Timing starts to see how long Biden's words age very, very badly.

Breitbart: Biden: U.S. Will Not Have a Recession This Year or Next Year. 

President Joe Biden said Wednesday on “PBS NewsHour” that the United States would not have an economic recession this year or next year.
[.]
[JUDY] WOODRUFF: So when people at the Gallup Poll saying most Americans think next year the economy is going to be bad, do you think there’s going to be a recession?

BIDEN: No.

WOODRUFF: This year?

BIDEN: No. Or next year. From the moment I got elected, how many of the experts are saying within the next six months is going to be recession?

Well, we sure hope not, Cap'n Diaper. We already had 2Q's of negative growth last year:

PBS, July 29, 2022: U.S. just had 2nd quarter of negative growth.

al-Reuters, July 28, 2022: US Q2 GDP shows 2nd quarter of negative growth.

I don't think anyone can argue that Leni Riefenstahl's PBS and al-Reuters are two Right-Leaning publications. Both, and other news outlets, reported we had 2Q of negative growth last year. 

Two consecutive Q's of negative growth have been the past definition of recession. Until last year, when other reasons were added to what defines a recession, meaning we were in a recession even though we weren't. "...Reasons..."

We're likely going to have a recession this year and next year. Because last year...no one could have predicted it. They didn't see it coming.

Black Friday Disappoints: Thin Crowds and ‘Desolate’ Stores.

No one is surprised by this.

Breitbart: Black Friday Disappoints: Thin Crowds and ‘Desolate’ Stores.

The busiest shopping day of the year is not as busy as retailers hoped.

Across the U.S., shopping malls are seeing only thin crowds, according to reports in business media. Inflation and depressed consumer sentiment appear to have dampened the holiday shopping spirit.

Reuters reported:

    At Times Square in New York City, which was cloudy with occasional light rain, employees were seen waiting inside stores for crowds that so far had not arrived.

    Outside the American Dream mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey, there were no lines outside stores. A ToysRUS employee was seen walking around the mall handing out flyers with a list of the Black Friday door busters.

Bloomberg reported:

    Around 10:30am at Crossgates Mall in Albany, New York, the ultra low-cost brands and the higher-end buzzy retailers had the most foot traffic, while the middle-market stores were desolate.

    Gap Inc.-owned Old Navy, which was offering 60% off most items, had a line so long that some shoppers turned around as soon as they entered the store. Athleisure favorite Lululemon Inc., which had only a few racks of discounted merchandise, and American Eagle Outfitters Inc.-owned Aerie, a popular intimates brand among Gen Z shoppers, also drew big crowds.

    Meanwhile, stores like Banana Republic, Macy’s and Urban Outfitters had no lines at all, and only a handful of shoppers.

But - - - it's a transitory economic issue.

The Federal Reserve says WE MUST HAVE CBDC!

Tucker Carlson covered this on his program Friday, November 25.

I couldn't find the full segment, it may appear on his website or You Tube later. But there was this snippet:

The government needs to make sure you're not spending your money on something of which they disapprove.

The U.S. government, along with their global Luciferian overlords, must decrease the standard of living for those who've worked 20, 30, 40, 50 years and redistribute what they've earned to...whom? Their cultists?

This idea is so bad only a Marxist will love it.

We're living in a very bad time and reversing course is getting shorter every day.

Link to the Abstract.

Link to the Fed's PDF on CBDC.

A short history: Who Owns The Federal Reserve? 

How many steps away from The Mark of The Beast are we? Anything more than "three" seems overly generous. I hope I Exit Earth before this happens because this is not something in which I will participate.

We're witnessing in real time a free-for-all shitshow and this is just the previews.
