Why is ared Buying that? You Decide…

WHAT IS JARED KUSHNER BUYING?

Three deals. Three countries. Same pattern every time.

WHAT IS JARED KUSHNER BUYING?
Three deals. Three countries. Same pattern every time.

1/
Let’s start with how he found Sazan Island.
Kushner said he discovered it while vacationing aboard a yacht owned by Nat Rothschild.
A Rothschild showed him the island.
Keep that in your pocket.

2/
ALBANIA. Sazan Island. $1.4 billion.
Sazan Island was used as a military base by Italy during World War II. The remains of military fortifications are still there. Hundreds of aging concrete bunkers built during the reign of communist dictator Enver Hoxha.
There are still munitions buried underground. In addition the Soviet Union used the island when it was on friendly terms with Albania. After the relationship ruptured the Soviets abandoned a fleet of submarines in a base by Vlora. They eventually rotted and sank.

WWII Italian military fortifications.
Hundreds of Cold War bunkers.
Live munitions still in the ground.
Abandoned Soviet submarine base.
The project envisages turning this communist-era fortified island, riddled with abandoned bunkers and tunnels, into a luxury resort.
Preparatory requirements include demilitarization, clearance of unexploded ordnance, and the inventory of underground tunnels and bunkers, all before a finalized business plan can even be submitted.
He needs to count the bunkers before he can submit a business plan.
And Albania declassified the island for civilian use one month after Trump won re-election.

3/
To get it, protected status had to be stripped.
Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors froze the bank accounts of the landholding company tied to the project.
The seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime amid a widening investigation into allegedly fraudulent property titles.
Heavy machinery began clearing the core of the protected zone without permits, without a completed environmental impact assessment, and without public consultation.
Thousands took to the streets of Tirana for two consecutive days. Private security guards beat protesters while police watched. Fifteen protesters charged with criminal proceedings. Deltia’s Gaming
Assets frozen. Fraudulent titles. Protesters beaten. Machines running without permits.
On a live munitions island he doesn’t legally own yet.

4/
SERBIA. Former Yugoslav Army Headquarters. $500 million.
The deal would see the bombed-out site of the former Yugoslav Ministry of Defense in Belgrade transformed into a luxury hotel complex. Bombs were dropped on the site in 1999 by NATO forces during the Serbia-Kosovo war.
The destroyed headquarters of the entire Yugoslav military apparatus.
Belgrade sits on top of a tangle of tunnels, shafts, caves and bunkers built across thousands of years. Military tunnels running under the city from Roman times through the Cold War. Tito built a nuclear-capable bunker beneath Kalemegdan Fortress to protect the Yugoslav government from Russian invasion.
Over a hundred machine gun nests and nuclear-capable bunkers were built under the fortress in the early 1950s. One remained a classified state secret until 2008.
Kushner targets the NATO-bombed headquarters of Yugoslavia’s military, sitting directly above a documented Cold War underground tunnel network.
To get it, a heritage protection had to be stripped.
Prosecutors confirmed a cultural official admitted to forging a key document to lift the site’s heritage protections and clear the way for the deal.
Forged government document. Military heritage site. Classified tunnel network underneath.
The deal collapsed when the forgery was exposed. Serbia’s president called the prosecution a witch hunt.

5/
ZVËRNEC PENINSULA. Albania. Third project.
Adjacent to the Sazan deal.
A third project on the Zvërnec peninsula, a 1,000-acre coastal area in southern Albania, would see several hotels and hundreds of villas built across the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal landscape.
The same coastline sitting on top of Albania’s documented 750,000 bunker network.
Over 750,000 bunkers were built across Albania under communist dictator Enver Hoxha.
There is roughly one bunker per every four Albanians. 14.7 bunkers per square mile.
Three projects. All in the same bunker-dense region of the Balkans. All requiring the stripping of protected status. All involving land with documented Cold War military underground infrastructure.

6/
Every single deal follows the same script.
Find land with strategic military history and underground infrastructure.
Get the government to strip its protected or classified status through corruption, document fraud, or political pressure.
Move in before legal challenges can stop you.
When it collapses, blame the prosecutors and move to the next one.
The Senate Finance Committee found that foreign governments may seek partnerships with Affinity in order to gain leverage over Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Affinity has pocketed $157 million in fees from foreign clients. Saudi Arabia will have the right to renegotiate or withdraw its $2 billion in August 2026, giving them considerable leverage over Kushner at exactly the moment he is representing the United States in Middle East peace negotiations. How interesting?

The man buying bunkers in the Balkans with Saudi money is simultaneously negotiating American foreign policy with Saudi Arabia.
And Saudi Arabia can pull his entire operation in August 2026 if they don’t like how those negotiations go.

7/
He found Sazan Island on a Rothschild yacht.
He’s buying it with Saudi money.
He’s clearing the legal path through forged documents and stripped protections.
He’s doing it while serving as America’s peace envoy.
And the island still has live munitions in the ground.

A resort developer?
Or an acquisitions operation wearing a hard hat?
Three countries. Three ex-military sites. Three deals requiring document fraud or corruption to clear the legal path.
All funded by the same foreign governments he simultaneously negotiates American foreign policy with.
Again, Saudi Arabia gets to renegotiate or pull the entire $2 billion in August 2026.
Right in the middle of the Iran negotiations.
Right in the middle of the Gaza negotiations.
Right when the leverage matters most.
The question isn’t what’s being built on these islands and ruins but what was already there.
And who needed it badly enough to send a Rothschild to show him where to look.

No heroes.

No halos.

End Hopium.

How Much Does that Cost?????

What Is Surveillance Pricing Anyway?

You may be the victim of surveillance pricing without even knowing it. But what does that even mean?

Surveillance pricing is the increasingly popular practice where some online retailers adjust prices for individuals based on data collected about that person, including browsing history, location, purchase history, and more. They often use third-party intermediaries to adjust those prices.

According to a preliminary report released by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in early 2025, these third-party intermediaries can even track your mouse movements. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do about it.1

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The FTC found that companies collect personal information about online shoppers and use it to tweak the prices they pay for products.
  • Your browsing habits, geographic location, and more may influence the prices you pay.
  • You can protect yourself from surveillance pricing by clearing cookies and browsing incognito.
  • Consider using a virtual private network, or VPN.

Key Findings on Surveillance Pricing

The initial report from the FTC on surveillance pricing reveals that online retailers frequently use personal data, such as browsing history and location, to target consumers with different pricing for the same products.

Based on documents from firms like Mastercard and Accenture, the FTC showed how intermediaries adjust prices by tracking various consumer behaviors. This can include the type of product, mouse movements, and unpurchased items left in shopping carts.1

This ongoing study underscores the potential widespread, data-driven pricing practices used to reshape how products are sold and how much consumers pay for them.

How Consumers Are Affected by Surveillance Pricing

Instead of having fixed prices for products, surveillance pricing allows retailers to adjust the price or promotion of a product based on individual data and consumer behaviors. If the data suggests that the consumer is willing to pay more, the price will be higher.

“Surveillance pricing means consumers lose the ability to compare prices accurately because what they see may be tailored to their behavior, location, income level, or even browsing history. Should someone be charged a higher price just because they live in a certain zip code, or because they made a bad online purchase last year? Thanks to surveillance pricing, that’s the world we’re living in,” said Michael Mezzatesta, economics and climate educator, and founder of Better Future Media.

Who’s Paying the Price?

About 273 million Americans, or 80.4%, now shop online, according to a survey by Capital One. Collectively, they spent about $1.36 trillion online in 2024.2

“Since surveillance pricing happens mostly online, most people will have no idea they’re being shown different prices based on hidden algorithms, making it nearly impossible to make informed purchasing decisions. In the worst cases, this practice erodes trust in markets, where fairness should be a given, not a privilege reserved for those with the best data protection habits,” Mezzatesta said.

How to Protect Yourself

Consumers can not easily recognize when they are victims of surveillance pricing because it’s designed to be invisible. But there are clues to be seen by those who are wary.

“There are clues consumers can use to tell when surveillance pricing might be at play. For example, if consumers notice fluctuating prices after repeated visits to a site, or different prices across different devices–or their peers are seeing different prices–those are all signs they are likely experiencing surveillance pricing influenced by personal or device data,” said Mezzatesta.

Proactive Steps to Take

To protect themselves from surveillance, consumers can take several proactive steps to safeguard their personal information and ensure fair pricing.

  • Use a VPN: A virtual private network, or VPN, masks your location and browsing activity to prevent targeted pricing. There are free VPNs while a subscription service costs about $10 per month.3
  • Clear Browser Cookies Regularly: Clearing the cookies from your device regularly limits the ability to track your online behavior because the data has been deleted.
  • Browse in Incognito Mode: Your browsing history and personal data aren’t saved when browsing in Incognito mode.
  • Compare Prices Across Devices: Check prices on different devices to spot potential price differences.

“The bigger issue is that individuals shouldn’t have to outsmart an opaque system just to get fair treatment and transparent pricing. This is where regulation needs to step in,” Mezzatesta said.

Current regulations, such as the FTC Act and the California Consumer Privacy ACT (CCPA), aim to protect consumers by promoting transparency and control over personal data.45 However, these laws do not fully address surveillance pricing, leaving gaps in consumer protection.

Is This Price-Fixing?

The FTC defines price fixing as “an agreement (written, verbal, or inferred from conduct) among competitors to raise, lower, maintain, or stabilize prices or price levels.”6 Basically, companies can’t set prices or terms after setting up an agreement with their competition because consumers expect the basic laws of supply and demand to apply. But then the question becomes, is surveillance pricing “price fixing”?

“The simplest solution is to make algorithmic price fixing illegal. And there is a legal precedent for this: Under US antitrust laws, price fixing due to corporate collusion is illegal.7 The issue is that the development of automated price-setting algorithms has created loopholes in existing law,” Mezzatesta said.

Mezzatesta asserts that corporations will need new rules regarding collecting and using personal data because of the rise of big data algorithms. He claims that’s how we ensure the algorithms don’t discriminate against specific sets of consumers.

“Additionally, enforcement mechanisms should be in place to prevent predatory pricing that exploits consumer data to extract maximum profit from the public. At a minimum, companies should be required to disclose when prices are being personalized, and on what basis.”89

The Bottom Line

Online shopping offers unmatched convenience, making it a preferred choice for many consumers. However, shoppers want to feel comfortable purchasing online without worrying about unfair pricing.

Unless stronger consumer protections are passed into law, you will need to stay vigilant and take steps to ensure your data is not exploited.

Prego Pasta Sauce announced they were teaming up with StoryCorps to create a device that would store pasta while also eavesdropping on, recording, and, according to some reports, uploading your family’s dinner conversations to the Library of Congress.

 

It gets even crazier.

The devices sold out almost instantly!

(Probably picked up by some guys in an unmarked van).

 

To be fair, though, Prego promised the devices won’t upload your conversations without permission. And it seems pretty innocent.

The Prego x StoryCorps Connection Keeper is a simple, AI-free, screen-free device designed to help families create an audio scrapbook of the moments that matter most. It captures the everyday conversations you wish to preserve — your kids’ voices, the ‘how was your day’ chats, the laughter and stories shared around the table — so you can revisit them for years to come. With just the press of a button, families can record meaningful moments in real time. The device is not connected to the internet and does not use Wi-Fi or AI, allowing you to capture memories without phones, screens, or distractions getting in the way.

But seriously, despite their best assurances, I’ve got enough to worry about with my AI-infested phone.

The last thing I need is to have to wonder whether there are spies in my pasta.

C’Mon Bill and Hill — Never Even Saw Epstein

Bill and Hillary Clinton Denied Knowledge of Epstein Crimes in Closed Testimonies

During her recent testimony in a hearing over connections to Jeffrey Epstein, Hillary Clinton denied ever meeting Jeffrey Epstein and said she only knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually. Epstein arranged meetings between Hillary and the Rothschilds in 2013. Jimmy Dore contrasted Hillary’s denial with resurfaced emails, fundraising event references, and Maxwell’s confirmed attendance at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, arguing these details undermine her credibility.He also highlighted past comments in which Hillary dismissed or criticized women who accused Bill Clinton of misconduct, framing this as contradictory to her current posture toward victims. The segment amplifies claims from Nancy Mace that Clinton was “screaming” during the closed-door testimony and suggests broader political hypocrisy surrounding the Epstein scandal.

Bill Clinton said: “My brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light, and … I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication of what was truly going on,” said the 79-year-old former president, adding “I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing.”

Bill Clinton claimed to have no knowledge of any criminal activity by Jeffrey Epstein

– Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times
– Bill Clinton flew on the Lolita Express 27 times
– Jeffrey Epstein involved in a Hillary Clinton Fundraiser
– Epstein help setup the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation
– Hillary Clinton claims PizzaGate is fake
– Hillary Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein had a close relationship
– Women were given plea deals as adults for trafficking minors with Epstein
– Actor Kevin Spacey has come out opposing Trump looking into the Epstein files and Clintons

Bill Clinton’s public statement following his closed testimony.

From ZeroHedge:

‘I Did Not Have Relations With That Man, Jeffrey Epstein’: Bill Clinton Tries Ol’ Lewinsky Trick On American Public

Former President Bill Clinton on Friday told lawmakers that he had no clue about crimes carried out by Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender who visited the Clinton White House at least 17 times while Bill was president, before letting Clinton fly on the ‘Lolita Express’ dozens of times.

“I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong,” Clinton said in a statement prepared for a closed-door deposition in Chappaqua, New York. “I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see.”

“My brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light, and … I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication of what was truly going on,” said the 79-year-old former president, adding “I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing.

Which is weird, because Epstein had a picture of Clinton in a blue ‘Monica Lewinsky’ dress and red pedo club shoes on his wall…

 

Clinton became the first former president forced to testify to Congress – and did so just one day after his wife, Hillary Clinton, testified before the same panel.

While Clinton was interviewed in a closed-door session, the GOP chairman of the committee, James Comer, said they would be asking Bill about trips he took on Epstein’s plane, and the White House visits Epstein made while Clinton was president.

Another GOP lawmaker on the panel, Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, said that Clinton would be “thoroughly asked” about pictures of him featured in the Epstein files – including one of him soaking in a jacuzzi, and another of him swimming with Ghislaine Maxwell.

According to the Epoch Times, an FBI document stated that a person whose name was redacted and was not an Epstein victim reported that she was invited to an orgy with Clinton, but did not attend. Law enforcement emails said that an Epstein victim said she met Epstein through another victim who had traveled with Epstein and Clinton to Africa.

Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane in 2002 and 2003, according to previously known flight logs and photographs. He has said previously through a spokesperson that those trips involved work for the Clinton Foundation and that he never went to Epstein’s island, although he briefly went to Epstein’s home in New York and logs showed Epstein went to the White House while Clinton was president.

As Bloomberg notes, ‘Clinton took several trips on Epstein’s private plane before Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to Florida state charges that included procurement of a minor to engage in prostitution. Epstein also donated $1,000 to Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign and $20,000 to Hillary Clinton’s 2000 US Senate campaign. A charity controlled by Epstein contributed $25,000 to the Clintons’ private foundation.’

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, told the BBC earlier this month that Bill was only flying on the Lolita Express “for his charitable work.”

And The King Of Gaza Is…….

The Gaza Technate: For The First Time In History, Technocracy Is In Plain View!

You will own nothing…

Brace yourself.

Last week, I was shocked to find that Trump’s “meme coin” had morphed into a $13 billion empire after starting with $0 in September 2024. It’s called World Liberty Financial (WLF), and the crypto token is called USD1. In the interim, the Trump boys have scored a major deal with Pakistan :

“On January 14, 2026, WLF signed a strategic agreement with the Government of Pakistan via SC Financial Technologies to integrate USD1 into Pakistan’s regulated digital payment architecture for cross-border payments. This is the first sovereign-level adoption of USD1 and signals the platform’s ambition to become a global dollar settlement layer for emerging markets — bypassing traditional correspondent banking entirely.”

This is a huge story, perhaps the biggest of the 21st century.

Start by reading this first story (then proceed to the rest of the stories) to get to the end, and my conclusion that Gaza will be the first end-to-end Technate on earth.

Huh? Trump Family Is Jockeying To Replace The Dollar Globally As Their Wealth Soars

The next question was, where does the Trilateral Commission sit in all of this, because they were the ones who modernized Technocracy in 1973. True to form, they are blanketing the scene. I picked out 13 Commission members who are directly involved. Generally, Trilaterals and their companies will be prime beneficiaries of the Technocratic takeover of the world.

Will Trilateral Commission Members Benefit In The Rise Of USD1 And Tether?

Then came Gaza and Trump’s Board of Peace, where he sits as dictator-for-life with the right of succession. The Board of Peace, coupled with USD1, will provide the governance structure for Gaza and all of its inhabitants.

The Gaza Gambit: Trump’s USD1 And Asset Tokens Will Provide Cradle-To-Grave Financial System

Project Sunrise puts the icing on the cake: “Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation.” Project Sunrise eyes 10 mega projects, all based on Smart City surveillance and control. It lays out the tokenization of assets and a common land trust run by Technocrats. There will be no private property in Gaza, just like Technocracy specified in its 1934 Technocracy Study Course.

Gaza Emerges As The First Controlled Experiment For Technocracy

The Gaza Technate is being created by one man, who heads every aspect of its emergence:

What is new in Gaza is the experiment’s completeness. No prior Technocratic initiative has simultaneously controlled the monetary layer (USD1), the investment layer (WLF asset tokens), the governance layer (Board of Peace), the surveillance layer (Palantir/Oracle biometrics), the connectivity layer (Starlink), the diplomatic layer (Witkoff as envoy), and the physical design layer (Project Sunrise smart cities) within a single bounded territory, administered by an interlocking network of financially connected private actors, operating under the religious and political authority of one man.

That man is Donald J. Trump. He is the President of the United States, but also, in effect, the Technocrat King of Gaza. As such, he will share the autocratic characteristics of leaders of surrounding nations, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, the UAE, and Qatar. Normally, the eldest son, Donald Trump, Jr., would be named “Crown Prince”. Prince Eric and Prince Barron will have to wait their turn.

This is Not Good!!! Rogue AI…

AI safety researcher quits with a cryptic warning

“The world is in peril,” Anthropic’s Safeguards Research Team lead wrote in his resignation letter
AI safety researcher quits with a cryptic warning

A leading artificial intelligence safety researcher, Mrinank Sharma, has resigned from Anthropic with an enigmatic warning about global “interconnected crises,” announcing his plans to become “invisible for a period of time.”

Sharma, an Oxford graduate who led the Claude chatbot maker’s Safeguards Research Team, posted his resignation letter on X Monday, describing a growing personal reckoning with “our situation.”

“The world is in peril. And not just from AI, or bioweapons, but from a whole series of interconnected crises unfolding in this very moment,” Sharma wrote to colleagues.

The departure comes amid mounting tensions surrounding the San Francisco-based AI lab, which is simultaneously racing to develop ever more powerful systems while its own executives warn that those same technologies could harm humanity.

It also follows reports of a widening rift between Anthropic and the Pentagon over the military’s desire to deploy AI for autonomous weapons targeting without the safeguards the company has sought to impose.

Sharma’s resignation, which lands days after Anthropic released Opus 4.6 – a more powerful iteration of its flagship Claude tool – hinted at internal friction over safety priorities.

“Throughout my time here, I’ve repeatedly seen how hard it is to truly let our values govern our actions,” he wrote. “I’ve seen this within myself, within the organization, where we constantly face pressures to set aside what matters most, and throughout broader society too.”

The researcher’s team was established just over a year ago with a mandate to tackle AI security threats including “model misuse and misalignment,” bioterrorism prevention, and “catastrophe prevention.”

Sharma noted with pride his work developing defenses against AI-assisted bioweapons and his “final project on understanding how AI assistants could make us less human or distort our humanity.” Now he intends to move back to the UK to “explore a poetry degree” and “become invisible for a period of time.”

Anthropic’s chief executive, Dario Amodei, has repeatedly warned of the dangers posed by the very technology his company is commercializing. In a near-20,000-word essay last month, he cautioned that AI systems of “almost unimaginable power” are “imminent” and will “test who we are as a species.”

Amodei warned of “autonomy risks” where AI could “go rogue and overpower humanity,” and suggested the technology could enable “a global totalitarian dictatorship” through AI-powered surveillance and autonomous weapons.

AI, AI, NO!!!!

Economist Warns That Trump’s Investments in the Tech Industry Could Crash the Whole Economy

“U.S. competitiveness will wither away.”
An economist argues that President Donald Trump's investments in Big Tech will ruin the country's economy and its technological edge.

To strengthen America’s technological edge, President Donald Trump directed the government to buy $8.9 billion of Intel stock this summer, a controversial move that may be followed by a similar deal with quantum-computing companies getting millions of dollars in federal funding.

The splashy moves could endanger the prosperous American economy, according to an influential economist speaking to Politico — especially in tandem with the White House’s gutting of agencies that have historically collaborated with the private sector.

“I think the kind of capitalism Trump has is crony capitalism,” Italian economist Mariana Mazzucato told Politico. “I would describe crony capitalism as Mafia-like. You’re showing your upper hand. You’re handing out favors to some. But then divide and conquer. Picking and choosing without a particular strategy.”

“[H]e’s actually weakening the economy,” she summed up.

Mazzucato, a University College London economics professor and adviser to governments, argues that the Intel deal is poorly designed because it doesn’t have any conditions to incentivize the company to be build new products, while the government simply acts as a passive investor.

That kind of posture isn’t going to foster next-generation technology, Mazzucato said. A smarter approach, she says, would see a government put together a portfolio of companies in a sector, encourage them with subsidies and other incentives, and wait for a company or product to rise to the top via competition in the marketplace.

Mazzucato has written extensively about how governments should take equity stakes in companies, but not in the way the Trump administration is doing, which some have called a form of corporate welfare.

Corporate welfare causes monopolies to develop; monopolies are bad because consumers don’t get cheaper and better products, while companies don’t have outside pressure to innovate. If companies don’t innovate, other countries with better industrial policy and ambitious companies will eat America’s lunch.

“And I don’t think there is, under Trump’s administration, any policy that is kind of future and opportunity-oriented around innovation,” she said. “It’s just about getting companies either to come back or preventing foreign companies from selling their goods in the U.S. It’s kind of preventing stuff from happening, versus that more positive, proactive making things happen that otherwise would not have happened.”

She called Trump’s economic policy an “idiosyncratic hodgepodge” because there doesn’t seem to be a clear strategy or a holistic roadmap to bolster the industrial backbone of America, where manufacturing has faltered to China and other countries.

“Trump is not asking, ‘What are the problems that need to be solved, and how can we have public investment to solve those problems?’” she said. “He’s just kind of throwing money around and imposing tariffs and taking these equity stakes and dismantling things.”

She also argued in the interview that Trump’s gutting of agencies such as the National Institute of Health and NASA will negatively impact the country’s competitive edge because these institutions, along with their funding, help foster the creation of new technologies, products and entirely new industrial sectors.

“What’s going to happen in the future is, U.S. competitiveness will wither away because he’s dismantling the backbone of U.S. competitiveness which has been, in the past, smart, capable, strategic, outcome-oriented, mission-oriented state agencies,” she said.

The invention of the internet and GPS, for instance, wouldn’t have been possible without the government encouraging the private sector, she said.

Any outcome from the Intel deal will probably play out over the ensuing years, so we don’t know the downstream impacts yet, but we already have proof that Trump’s attack on federal agencies and their funding is impacting America’s edge in tech and science with scientists moving overseas.

And all this is happening as the stock market goes on a roller coaster as people fear the overinflation of an AI bubble, whose bursting may also wreck the economy at least in the near term.

Who Owns Your News?

Did Israel Just Buy CBS News?

CBS News, the house of Cronkite and 60 Minutes, is being taken over by Paramount, which merged with Sky Dance Media, a company that was founded by David Ellison, who is the son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. Paramount is set to buy Bari Weiss’s Substack blog, The Free Press, for a whopping $200 million that is estimated to have a $15 million annual revenue that does not justify the price. James Li says that the purchase is not about competing with independent news and analysis, but rather it is intended to reshape CBS network to fall in line with Zionist ideology. Glenn Greenwald wrote that it is a desperate move to protect and whitewash information using CBS News in the service of the foreign government of Israel.

Real Estate is Overvalued & Over Taxed

Massive Property Tax Fraud Exposed – $5.1 Trillion Bond Scam Will Crash System

Mitch Vexler is a real estate developer and whistleblower who alleges school district appraisers are inflating property values to jack up taxes. He said that in 2018 to 2019, there was a 30% jump in property taxes, but inflation was only 2.7%. After 5 years of compound cumulative fraud, real estate was over-valued. Based only on the face value of the bonds, he estimated that the fraudulent portion of the face value is somewhere around $5.1 trillion. He said that is an extremely conservative estimate, and it is likely closer to $17 trillion.The market did not cause the over-valuation of real estate, it was due to fraud at the hands of the school districts.

The culprits are the chief appraisers in school districts, school superintendents, and others who committed accounting fraud and bond fraud. Underwriters of the bonds and the banks are involved – the underwriters that sold fraudulent bonds are culpable because they didn’t do their due diligence.

Property taxes are being used not to pay for school bonds, but to pay the interest only on past bonds, nevermind new bonds. He warned that property tax cannot cover bond payments and something must be done, otherwise, the American economy is set to collapse. If balance sheets are not restored, home equity will be stripped and the US economy will be ruined.

Vexler noted that schools are responsible for 83% of all the bonds raised off of property taxes on average.

.

Vexler said that property tax violates the US Constitution with regard to the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments (due process). He said that the Sixteenth Amendment states that only income can be taxed, not property as it is an unrealized gain. Appraisals use market value assessments that are unrealized gains.

He explained that bonds are being raised today to pay for bonds that were put in place 10 years ago. The only way to cover the interest on the outstanding principle and the outstanding interest is to raise more bonds. That is the definition of a Ponzi scheme.

The payments can never be met, so he filed complaints with the SEC, FBI and DOJ.

Vexler said that the SEC is on the case and the FBI has been notified. The culprits could be prosecuted for postal service for mail fraud and fraudulent billing. Every account and every envelope that was sent out with fraudulent overvaluation and fraudulent billing could cost the criminals $2,000 per envelope and four years in jail per envelope.

School districts have got money coming direct from mom and pop at their local school district level, they get money from the state general funds, and from the federal government through income taxes.

Vexler revealed the cycle of fraud: The school districts claim they need money and the school district superintendent commits accounting fraud. They lie both to the state which goes to the state controller and they give a predetermined budget based on their needs, which is accounting fraud, to the chief appraisers at the school districts. The chief appraisers in the school districts are in fact controlled by and owned by the school district. He called the school board criminals a ‘cacophony of morons’.

He said that criminal complaints have been filed and recommended the repeal of real estate property tax in favor of a uniform sales tax.

If the Federal Reserve prints the money to pay it, then we have devaluation of the US dollar, similar to the Weimar Republic. If it is rescued, it will be worse. The balance sheet must be restored. If balance sheets are not restored, home equity will be stripped and the US economy will be ruined.

He said that across the US, 42 million homes are at risk – roughly 37.8% of the household population, of going bankrupt or losing the roof over their head. The money to pay the bonds does not exist. You cannot get blood out of a stone.

Canada is in worse shape than the United States.

The New Klaus Schwab

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Appointed to Lead the World Economic Forum

Reuters reported that last week, the World Economic Forum (WEF) closed an investigation on its founder Klaus Schwab, 87, clearing him of any wrongdoing after a whistleblower alleged the Schwab family mixed their personal affairs with the forum’s resources without proper oversight. Schwab filed a criminal complaint and separate legal action against the whistleblowers; he intends to drop the cases.

WEF appointed BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and Roche Holding’s vice-chair Andre Hoffmann as interim co-chairs of its board. They said that they look forward to reinventing and strengthening the organization.

Jon Bowne reported that BlackRock controls $10 trillion in assets and has stakes in 14,000 companies worldwide. RFK Jr. said that BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street own each other and that they own 89% of the S&P 500. He said that BlackRock is set to own 60% of all US single family homes in the US by 2030.

Fink is expected to turbo-charged push for digital assets, ESG policies, and global governance that threatens national sovereignty. BlackRock manages the largest Bitcoin and Etherium ETFs, valued at nearly $95 billion. Crypto is a tool for surveillance and control.
