JOHN GUANDOLO: Remember….Christopher Columbus was charged with finding new trade routes in 1492. Why? Because (1) muslims controlled the Mediterranean & (2) that is the year Spaniards retook Spain back from the muslims after being enslaved by Islam for nearly 800 years.

TOM LUONGO: a sea change in the attitudes on Wall Street

This represents a sea change in the attitudes on Wall St., which has done nothing but 'invest' in wealth extraction through real estate for decades. My call that this timeline we're on started with Wall St. and the Fed through Jerome Powell's 'stealth tightening' through the "Five Basis Points that Changed the World" is looking more and more correct by the day. To summarize that argument for the newcomers:

Powell began the post-COVID tightening cycle by raising the Reverse Repo Payout rate in June 2021 to domestic banks 0.05% or 5bps above the Fed Funds Rate... this drained $2+ trillion from global dollar markets in less than 3 months.
The RRP facility balance went from $450 billion in June 2021 to $2.5+ trillion by Q4. Setting the stage for "Biden" to fight his renomination into May of 2022.
Powell's refusal to be pressured out of office had the backing of someone more powerful than the Biden Junta, Wall St. He stayed, the FOMC extended his term as Chair indefinitely and eventually "Biden" caved and put Powell up for reconfirmation, which he won in the Senate 80-20.
SOFR began replacing LIBOR as the pricing mechanism for global dollars in January 2022. By June 2023, the COMEX's Eurodollar Futures Contract ceased trading, replaced by the 3-month SOFR Futures contract.
Powell then began his historic tightening cycle in March and it accelerated into the fall, forcing the ECB into YCC by July... known as the TPI - Transmission Protection Instrument.
The money in the RRP made its way into domestic money markets, which morons (i.e @zerohedge) called QE. *SMFH*

This kept the money markets liquefied domestically, supported the t-bill market, which supported credit markets, while the global price of dollars choked off the offshore leverage, slowing global money velocity.
This, in turn, spurred on 'dedollarization' which was the intended goal, to finally end Triffin's Dilemma, though, again morons continue to think this is somehow bad and that BRICS will dominate.
Did I say morons? I'm sorry, that's unfair, I meant SHILLS.
During all of this the Europeans committed ritualistic sacrifice of the Euro by going to war against Russia and destroying any future where the Euro would replace the dollar as the pricing currency for oil and gas, i.e. petroeuro.
The USD rose in trade settlement market share via SWIFT, the Euro's share collapsed and the EU is now looking at having to default on tens of trillions of debt... but somehow the US is the one on the verge of default in the minds of these same "SHILLS?"
Good luck with that, argument folks.
Now that that money is drained (and anymore inflation from it is dead and gone) Powell can remake Fed policy by ending the 2% inflation mandate and focus on the labor markets as his barometer for monetary policy.
Now he can begin the easing cycle Trump so desperately needs. And Powell will give it to him, just not as fast as Trump says he would like. 
TL;DR -- Wall St., led by Dimon himself at JPM, is backing Trump's rebuilding of the US. The Fed has shifted to supporting that rebuild by focusing on labor, and the US is retaining the dollar as the world's unit of account, without having to be the world's liquidity engine on their terms. That is truly breathtaking.

SAMA HOOLE: “Rabbit starvation” is protein poisoning. Too much lean [protein] = liver overload, nausea, diarrhea, death.

Hoole adds that,
Rabbit Starvation “Rabbit starvation” is protein poisoning. Too much lean [protein] = liver overload, nausea, diarrhea, death. Because the body can only metabolise around 35-40% of its energy needs from protein. Observed in Arctic explorers, and still taught in survival training today.

“If you eat rabbit exclusively, you’ll die sooner than if you eat nothing.” — Vilhjalmur Stefansson

Hoole points out that,
The Brain Prefers Fat Your brain is 60% fat, burns 500 calories a day, and needs fats like DHA…only found in animal foods. Without the caloric density of fat, as well as the key nutrients, our ancestors would never have been able to support such a brain.

And in case you think the brain runs best on glucose, it will actually pick ketones when given the choice.

J. MICHAEL WALLER: Imagine sailing across the Atlantic, into the unknown, on these tiny ships. Columbus was one of the greatest mariners of all time.

TOM LUONGO: it's why he's deporting Tren de Aragua. It's why they're fighting him and saying, "Well . . . these are real people. They've been here for 15 years." Yes, 15 years running drugs and kids and everything else.


They're losing control of the gold market.  They're losing control of the silver.  They've lost control of the silver market.  They've lost control of the gold market.  Now the big question is are they going to . . . the definition of money is changing.  It is becoming digitized or it's becoming tokenized.  I know that sounds risky to Bitcoiners, that sounds like, oh, my God, that's just those are just s*** coins.  I'm like well I got news for you, I understand also that you guys feel that US dollars are s*** coins. Be honest with you I don't disagree with that sentiment.  It is a Perpetual War.  You're always fighting this impulse for people to want to rule over others.  If you read the Constitution carefully, folks.  If you think Trump is a dictator now, you ain't seen with the president can actually do.  Now he knows, and he's executing like he knows.  Are we going to stand up like men and say we want to live free or are we going to . . .

How many Americans do you think are aware of any of this?  

3:07.  . . . simply put, you have to accept the fact that the game that Trump is actually fighting is playing and is much different than the game that everybody thinks he's playing the best way I've described it recently is that we all exist we all kind of everyday we get up and we interface the game the great game yeah who runs the world and all of that and we see it at the ground level we see it at the middle management level right?  We see it at the Hillary Clinton level at the gym Comey level not even at the George Soros level because he is at best upper management Larry Fink at Black Rock also upper management.  But they're not really the actual game. What you have is at least three strata.  You have the lieutenants who are doing stuff on a day-to-day basis you have the upper management who run all the big corporations and supposedly the countries but there is not there's really not that much difference between the countries and the corporations that we're talking about the black rocks and Microsoft Bill Gates Foundations the Ford Foundation the European Union what not and then you have the strata above that the people who nominally I would put under that rubric of Davos but it's that is more pointed than that.  Now it's a king of England the old banking cartels of Europe it's the real bankers and the real movers and shakers of the world who don't have Wikipedia pages.  They have banking relationships with banks you've never heard of.  I hate to be blunt but the whole concept of the high table and the Unseen world of John Wick is probably closer to the truth then we would like to to be comfortable with the reality is that the high tables unseen layer of organized crime assassins drug traffickers human traffickers a traffic flow when we see a kids in a black block running around the streets of Chicago and Portland attacking ICE agents, and the local police department's turning a blind eye to it, and then we get angry about it, and then we say, "Well, see, Donald Trump doesn't have this crime under control."  Well he's the reason that they're doing that s*** like that now is because he is fighting them at that level.  That's why he's blowing boats out of the water off the coast of Venezuela.  It's why he's killing . . . it's why he's deporting Tren de Aragua.  It's why they're fighting him and saying, "Well . . .  these are real people.  They've been here for 15 years."  Yes, 15 years running drugs and kids and everything else.  I'm sorry but that's the reality.  

6:20.  Then when you look at the counter moves that have been happening every time Trump puts pressure on them and one Arena they fight back in another Arena.  And so what we are dealing with literally right now that the Civil War is on it's actually been going on for a while but the Civil War in the United States is happening as we speak everything you're seeing out of the Democrats with the shutdown, with the way they're running the shutdown, it's all tied absolute directly to trying to stop Trump from recapitalizing the middle class through the plan of action that he has to lower regulations Deport all the illegals change the immigration system cut the regulations in half trying and get taxes lowered fire a whole bunch of federal staff get rid of the managerial state and and all that cuts at various levels and attacks all their funding.  When you think about how you beat a big unseen enemy like that you don't send Keanu Reeves in with an unlimited supply of ammunition that's a metaphor the Unstoppable killing machine really is a man of supreme will I'm not talking Donald Trump is John Wick here I'm just saying that John Wick exists as an idea that we're going to have infinite will to do what's necessary to take these people down no matter how much it cost us, no matter how much violence is going to be applied against us that's where we are so we watch Trump and what's he doing?  He's attacking their funding at three very very important levels the first level was USAID and the NGOs that's the public money that he could have direct access to as the Article II Executive of the United States.  The second layer is the more dangerous layer.  That's the one they're fighting him on now, which is the cartels, the organized crime, the private money that, and all the government related money laundering that goes on. Remember the organized crime layer, that upper management or the unseen layer interacts with, they interact with the various organized crime families and organizations around the world.  They're interfacing with directly with all the IC intelligence community of all the major countries in the world. So that link has to be broken and that money has to dry up and you have to attack process so it's a two-pronged assault first it's DNI Gabbard going after various people within the intelligence community, outing them, firing them when necessary, or whatever.  And the other side of it is, of course, sending Tom Holman with ICE and arresting them all, and then watching the response.  Once you view this as a big freaking gang war as a Turf War of Epic Proportions then you realize that this is a war and that and genders anxiety in normal people because they see it as just chaos.  And wars are fought strategically.  That means you're seeing a whole variety of different actions being taken of different types.  If I just saw chaos, Cedric, I wouldn't . . . try to blow a literal smoke up your ass and say it wasn't that if I didn't actually see what I thought.  Like, if I had a plan to take these people out, it would look a lot like what Donald Trump is doing I never really had a plan on it I just kind of like had a vague idea in my head but the more I started watching it play itself out, I'm like, "Oh, that's what he's doing."  And the more I talk to people who have military backgrounds and whatnot who understand this type of action this kind of theory of action and we, I see one part of it in the financial markets, in the information warfare,  we all come to the same conclusion this is what's going on.
