Flashback: Jon Gabriel last year: Welcome to protest season, where the
cause changes but the tactics stay the same. “One year, statues are
toppled and the next, Jews are bullied, but it’s amazing how the
far-left treats such wildly diverse issues with the same small toolbox.
It has ever been thus. As one radical wrote for a Students for a
Democratic Society publication in the 1960s, ‘The issue is never the
issue. The issue is always the revolution.'”

New York Times on climate change... still clinging to the 'sharp as a tack' subsidized climate narratives.

For anyone interested in historical cycles there is a recent Neil Howe piece explaining what comes next in the Fourth Turning.

"We're In The 3rd Inning Of The Global Currency Death Spiral"

QUOTE:

If the Fed can’t control interest rates, we are monumentally screwed as a financial system. That’s kind of what we are headed for now.

In the US, interest rates are going back up, but if you want to look at an extreme case, look at Japan. They don’t just have 30-year bonds, they have 40-year and 50-year bonds and those are cratering, which is to say the interest rates on those bonds are spiking. Long term Japanese bonds used to be 0%. Now, they are 3% and change. . . . That change is huge.

So, Japan, the US, Europe, the UK and China, all of these big countries are basically making the same mistakes, and they are all headed in the same direction.

We are in the early stage of a currency death spiral where interest rates start to go up and the government can’t control that and then their debt goes parabolic . . . and this goes until everything breaks down.

We are in the third inning of that game, and the last couple of innings are going to be hair raising.

There are going to be currency crises, which we have never seen in our lifetimes. . . .

Of far more concern than interest rates both socially and economically are demographics. As in median age and fertility. The US is younger than all of Europe, Russia, China, Japan, S. Korea, and Thailand. Excepting France, which it is essentially tied with, the USA has a higher fertility rate than all of those countries plus Malaysia. As a result the USA has a reserve of potential future fertility in Gen Z those countries lack since their Gen Zs are smaller as a % of their total population.

Further, despite the weaponization of illegal immigration by progressives, the US remains much better at assimilating large numbers of immigrants into the economy and the society.

All of which means money, and skilled, educated immigrates will flow into, not out of the USA.

Who is Elias Rodriguez? It’s obvious he’s not a Muslim. Instead, I believe he’s a beard for the pro-Hamas factions, enticed into committing murder for them, but giving them cover. Violent leftist groups and Islamofascists have made common ground to bring down the West.
