-50 beeps??? I dont know what to say...

How about “thank you”?

Bidenomics is a fucking success. Period.

But then the lies will pour out:

- “The Fed skewed its figures for the elections”

- “Real American are suffering”

- “Inflation is out of control!”

The GQP struggles with the truth.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 transferred the U.S. money supply and banking system controls from Congress to a private banking elite, who could then create money from nothing, loan it to our government and charge interest.

I thought I'd heard just about every bizarre far right conspiracy theory.

The goofiest was probably the one about Obama storing 30,000 guillotines in Montana and Georgia to be used in FEMA concentration camps after Sharia Law is introduced in the US.

The recent unfortunate incident regarding Titanic tourism brought to the surface a wacko contention about the Federal Reserve System.

Far-right conspiracy theorist Stew Peters is pushing a conspiracy theory that the OceanGate submarine was purposely sunk “to keep people from visiting the Titanic wreckage” because doing so would supposedly reveal that the Titanic “was sunk by a newly created” Rothschilds-connected Federal Reserve and not an iceberg. Numerous Republican politicians and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have appeared on Peters’ program.   Peters is a white nationalist who frequently encourages violence against his perceived enemies. He has pushed a multitude of conspiracy theories, including those related to QAnon, COVID-19, Pizzagate, flat Earth, the moon landing, and the Uvalde and Sandy Hook mass shootings.  Despite his toxic history, numerous politicians have appeared on his program, including Reps. Paul Gosar, Bob Good, Pete Sessions, and Andy Biggs; and Kennedy.  Peters is now pushing the bizarre conspiracy theory that the Titanic was actually sunk by the Rothschilds-connected Federal Reserve — not an iceberg — and the OceanGate submarine was sunk to discourage people from ever visiting the Titanic to find out the truth.

Yep, the Fed will stop at nothing to hide its diabolical secrets! 😂😱

There is a major chronological problem with this particular conspiracy theory. The RMS Titanic sunk on 15 April 1912 while the Federal Reserve System wasn't founded until 23 December 1913. But conspiracy theorists never let the facts get in the way of their derangement.

Conspiracy theories have been around for ages. But the internet makes them easier to circulate and to draw unlikely connections between totally unrelated events.

And the conspiracy nuts are seldom content believing in just one. Stew Peters is all over the genre with QAnon, vaccines, the Apollo moon landings, and topically the Fed/Titanic. He's a waterfall of far right fabulism. And his racism and antisemitism don't prevent extremist Republicans and RFK Jr. from kissing up to him.

People like that are often close to the psychological spot where deep gullibility and paranoia intersect. Though some know it's all a load of bullshit but continue to spew it for personal or political gain.

People like Stew Peters give us a good reason why nobody should get a high school diploma without first passing a course in baloney detection.

The Fed raised the interest rate by 0.25% to 5.25-5.50% overall, the highest it's been in decades and Chairman Powell said they're still open to another raise in September. Despite fears of a recession due to the rates, the US GDP grew at 2.4% during Q2. Unemployment fell to 221K last week. The ECB also raised its rates a quarter percentage to 4.25%, although it's now signalling it's ready to pause.

We're currently on track for 2023 topping 2016 as the hottest year on record. What is worrying is there is a current system in the Atlantic Ocean that helps regulate weather, and it may collapse some time this century.

The army decided to side with the Nigerien presidential guard, so we now have a coup in Niger.

The Ukraine is starting another counteroffensive in the south. They have not made much progress against Russian defenses.

Hunter Biden's situation became much more murky yesterday. Biden was charged with failure to pay taxes and illegal possession of a weapon. Prosecutors made a plea agreement for two years probation if he pled guilty, but when this was presented to the judge, she did not like some of the terms, particularly for the gun charge, so Biden withdrew the guilty plea and stated not guilty. Republicans have been howling that Biden was given lesser punishment for being the president's son. I've talked to some people about it and they said with a plea agreement it's not unusual, but it's possible prosecutors immediately leaned toward preferential treatment.

Mitch McConnell randomly stopped talking for twenty seconds during a press conference yesterday. Considering he's 81 and has fallen a few times this year, one resulting in a concussion, it's pretty worrying.

No one owes artists anything.

But existence is lonely and sometime you throw hours and hours of effort into a void, on the slim chance it will say something back.

I don't really think it's fair to dismiss the idea that that guy might have been framed for killing the CEO as like an unfounded conspiracy theory when NYPD has a proven history of planting/fabricating evidence on people. in 2011 there was a massive investigation of the NYPD and hundreds of cases against people were dismissed after a former police officer testified that they literally have a name for planting evidence on people: flaking. you cannot be out here acting like considering the possibility that cops who do this shit under normal circumstances might possibly also do it when they're under intense global pressure and scrutiny is the same as republicans thinking democrats run a secret pedophile ring in the basement of a pizza restaurant
