Operation Mockingbird continues apace - even though the money-stream has been interrupted.

They hope, temporarily.

I've got a lot more faith in this tariff scheme, than I do in the American public's ability to resist this ramping-up of nonstop propaganda and untruths. We ALREADY SAW how they fell for COE-vidd and Safe-And-Effective. Have they learned anything, or are they stupified by the neurotoxins given them as purported vaccines?

DO we even HAVE any kind of future, with such weak-minded, sated, spoiled, feckless a population?
 
Saying this might be regularly scheduled. May/has still cause a bounce.


Bonds are DOWN today. Take this as a REALLY BAD sign.
 
^^^^^^^

Inflation is ESSENTIAL. Only inflation can keep the stawk market bubbling UP; and only runaway inflation can destroy Trump/DOGE/reform.

So, bring on another gusher of Free Money!
 
I think they are allowing the country to go into recession as part of the normal business cycle. It allows bad models to fail and re-emerge as stronger entities without the need of being propped up artificially.

Trump is so full of crap, I hope Powell bumps the rate a whole point to remind him who is in charge and who is the monkey in the cheap suit...
 
The Federal Reserve is a deep state tool in many regards. One of these is to inflict pain on the economy to deliver talking points to the MSM so that political opponents can be blamed for negative economic news.

Fed Has Sacrificed People Before, El-Erian Says​

Apr 17, 2025

Queens' College of Cambridge President and Bloomberg Opinion Columnist Mohamed El-Erian talks about the possibility of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stepping down before his term ends due to pressure from President Donald Trump. He says Kevin Warsh, a former member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, would be a good replacement. El-Erian speaks on "Bloomberg Surveillance." His opinions are his own.

Markets will 'crash' if Trump can fire Fed's Powell, Elizabeth Warren warns​

Apr 17, 2025

Senator Elizabeth Warren, ranking member of the Banking Committee, joins CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to discuss why she believes its critical for Jerome Powell to remain as Fed Chair, concerns about tariff policy, and more.

This a "Nothing" sandwich, Trump can't fire him, he can only not reappoint him, in which case the banker boys will just nominate someone else who may or may not do what Trump wants...even Warren knows that so she is just chop busting.
 
The markets will not crash. They'll melt up.

Installing a tool who takes us back to ZIRP, means the stawk-buyback program/scam at major corporations, is back in high gear. All the banksters are gonna want some of that Melt-Up money. We're back to a world they understand - ZIRP to member banks, plow into the Dow/S&P/other indices, and sell a few days later, showing gains for the Banks' proprietary accounts.

It's always been this way - the whole 15 years these "career stock account managers" have been in their careers; so of course it will always be this way. Great Depression? Wiemar? Argentina? That's silly. THIS time it's DIFFERENT.

If Trump does this, he's gonna be crucified - literally removed, and the Left, left with a Win. He'll be blamed, alone, for the fiscal and monetary collapse. Meantime, no arrests, no prosecutions for all the appropriated government money...no punishment for COE-vidd; no correction on any of this evil insanity.

Trumpeter and his mindless minions keep using terms liked "Fired" or "Termination " but Powell's term will run out and he won't be reappointed or maybe not offer to run again. Either way, it is up to the Fed Bank to pick the next chairman.

Trump attacking Fed Chair Jerome Powell is a public relations ploy — and it’s working​

President Donald Trump is a genius.

There, I said it.

OK, maybe he’s a genius of a type you wouldn’t want to emulate. Maybe he’s a genius you hate. Maybe, like Rocky’s opponent Apollo Creed, he is just a master of disaster. You make the call.

But he’s an absolute genius when it comes to public relations, propaganda and manipulating public opinion. As his latest shock-and-awe campaign against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell shows.

Trump, having begun the decline in the U.S. dollar that he wants, and having possibly caused a recession that he may also have wanted, is now engaged in a brilliant campaign to blame it all on somebody else.

Trump says he has ‘no intention’ of firing Fed Chair Powell​

President Donald Trump said he has “no intention” of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell before his term leading the central bank expires next year.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he has “no intention” of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell before his term leading the U.S. central bank ends next year.

“None whatsoever,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked to clarify that he did not seek Powell’s removal. “Never did.”

The comment represents a dramatic shift for Trump, who has recently ramped up his rhetoric against Powell and declined to rule out the possibility of taking the unprecedented step of firing him.
