The Fed was hell bent on reducing standards of living via inflation. Now they struggle to undo the inflation and asset bubble consequences they created.
Once in a while I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. Nowhere I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me.
“Investors with large portfolios (at least 100 properties) drove much of this growth, nearly doubling their share of investor purchases from 14% in September 2020 to 26% in September 2021…By buying up single-family homes, investors have reduced the already limited supply available to potential owner-occupants, particularly first-time and moderate-income buyers.”
A few more odds and ends on the Epstein operation, since so many are in denial, and then I’ll stop for now. Everyone in power clearly wants this thing to just die, and it mostly has.
Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta.
Isn't it a wacky coincidence that Bill Barr's law firm was the same law firm that cut Epstein the sweet deal with Acosta?
Soon after I walked into the entrance of Epstein’s mansion on E 71st Street, said to be the city’s largest private home, a butler asked me, ‘would you like an intimate massage, sir, by a pretty young girl?’ This offer seemed so out of place and weird to me that I swiftly declined.
More important than indelicacy, as an old observer of intelligence affairs, to me this offer reeked of ye old honey trap, a tactic to ensnare and blackmail people that was old when Babylon was young.

When I go through Whitney Webb’s articles, I'll check all her sources and links...and it's surreal. What a collection of elite sleaze. There is so much smoke that the risk is you die of smoke inhalation before comprehending the enormity of the fire.
Before I abandoned my rich and therefore “smart” friends for the sanity that only solitude can bring, they rolled their eyes at me whenever I brought up conspiracies like Epstein. The herd has chosen intentional obtuseness as their drug to dull the pain from the emptiness of their lives and the true nature of this reality.

These posts are truly fantastic, actually even better than you twitter was.
