Trump warns of new ‘Great Depression’

America’s economy will be wiped out if Joe Biden stays in power, the former president claimed

Former US President Donald Trump has warned that the national economy will completely collapse if he does not return to the White House next year. He described the grim scenario in a post on his Truth Social platform on Friday.

“The stock market is only high because people… expect me to win the presidential election of 2024,” Trump wrote in all caps. “If I don’t win, it is my prediction that we will have a stock market “crash” worse than that of 1929 – a Great Depression!!!”

“The only thing that is keeping the economy ‘alive’ is the fumes of what we accomplished during the Trump administration,” he stated. He added that, under President Joe Biden’s watch, high inflation has “totally destroyed the buying power of the consumer.”

Trump argued that the Biden administration’s official inflation statistics, which show prices haverisen by about 17%since his inauguration in 2021, were underestimating the real figure by nearly half, referencing an older method of measuring the phenomenon that placed it over 30%. Inflation surged to a 40-year high under Biden, though it has since declined.

The 1929 stock market crash kicked off an economic death spiral that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average lose 89% of its value over three years, a slump it would not fully recover from until two decades later after World War II helped boost the recovery of the US economy. The crash was triggered by several factors, including rampant speculation and Federal Reserve rate hikes.

Biden’s approval rating among prospective voters has plumbed new depths over the last month. A recent Monmouth University poll found just 34% of voters viewed his performance favorably.

Despite the insistence of the White House that the nation’s finances are robust and healthy,credit card debt among US consumers hit a historic high last month, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and JP Morgan analysts revealed earlier this month that any extra savings Americans had accumulated during the Covid-19 pandemic had been wiped out for all but 1% of the population.

A survey conductedin May found nearly four in ten Americans lacked enough money to cover a $400 emergency expense. At the same time, the S&P 500 is approaching an all-time high, and the Dow Jones recently broke its own record.

Ukraine fires ‘massive barrage’ at Donetsk – officials

At least three people were killed in the Donbass city during the first shelling of 2024, a top local official said

Ukrainian troops have shelled the Russian city of Donetsk, killing at least four people and injuring 13 others, local authorities announced in the early hours of Monday.

The head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin, urged citizens to seek shelter.

Emergency officials, meanwhile, told news agency TASS that a journalist had been killed and another injured, without naming them.

Casualties were reported after the city center was hit by “a massive barrage,” officials said. They added that one of the main hotels in Donetsk – the Donbass Palace – was struck. A school, an office building, a shop and several residential buildings were also damaged.

Pushilin released a statementaround 1 am local time, saying thatUkraine had used multiple rocket launchers. “I urge everyone to stay in shelters,” he wrote on Telegram. “The shelling can resume at any moment.”

A local resident told news agency RIA Novosti that the attack began shortly after midnight on New Year's eve. “I went to the balcony for a smoke, and heard a loud bang. I thought at first that it was fireworks,” he said.

Unverified videos posted to social media show several explosions.

Other videos show damaged apartment blocks and burning vehicles.

Donetsk frequently comes under rocket attacks due to its proximity to the frontline. The most recent shelling occurred after Ukraine fired missiles at the Russian border city of Belgorod on Saturday, killing 24 people and wounding 109.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Kiev used cluster munition to carry out a “premeditated act of terrorism” against civilians. Moscow requested an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on Saturday. In his speech at the UN, Russian envoy Vassily Nebenzia stated that US and British “consultants” helped Ukraine to plan the strikes on Belgorod. ’

On Sunday, Russian MOD announced retaliatory missile strikes on several targets in Ukraine, including a former hotel in Kharkov that it claimed housed senior military planners “directly involved” in the shelling of Belgorod. Ukrainian officials reported that the raid on Kharkov left 28 civilians wounded.

Zelensky personally ordered bombing attack on civilians – RT source

The strike on the Russian city of Belgorod was launched by the nationalist Kraken battalion, a security source has claimed

A massive rocket strike targeting the Russian border city of Belgorod on Saturday was launched on the direct order of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, aMoscow security source has told RT’s Russian-language service. The attack claimed the lives of 24 people and left more than 100 injured.

According to the source, the Ukrainian leader put the head of Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR), Kirill Budanov, in charge of the operation. In October, Russia’s Investigative Committeeidentified Budanov as one of four suspected masterminds of over 100 “terrorist attacks”targeting Russian civilian infrastructure. In December, a Moscow district court ordered his arrest on terrorism charges.

Budanov has openly advocated Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil, including territory that Kiev recognizes as being under Moscow’s sovereignty. The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) identified Budanov as the mastermind of the October 2022 bombing of the Crimean Bridge, which involved a powerful explosive device smuggled into Russia by an unsuspecting truck driver.

Saturday’s attack on Belgorod waslaunched by the notorious Kraken Regiment, the source told RT. The unit is composed primarily of veterans of another infamous Ukrainian ultranationalist force,the Azov Regiment, andother neo-Nazifighters and volunteers.

Based in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov, located less than 100 kilometers away from Belgorod, the Kraken Regiment is formally a Special Forces unit under the command of the GUR and is thus answerable to Budanov. The Russian authorities have previously accused Kraken fighters of torturing and killing Russian POWs. Russia’s Defense Ministry also claimed in 2022 thatKraken forces had executed around 100 fellow Ukrainian soldierswho had abandoned their positions at the time.

The attack on Belgorod was led by a notorious ultranationalist Kraken commander identified as Sergey Velichko, according to the RT source.Moscow placed a bounty on Velichko in August 2022. At the time, the Russian Interior Ministry offered a reward for any information about him and another nationalist commander, Kostantin Nemichev.

Both men had previously served with the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment, which was declared a terrorist organization by Russia’s Supreme Court in June 2022. They were also put on the international wanted list, as well as Russia’s ‘ten especially dangerous wanted criminals’ list. The fighters have since joined the Kraken Regiment.

On Sunday, the Russian military conducted a string of high-precision missile strikes targeting Ukrainian military facilities and officials in response to the attack on Belgorod. Decision-making centers and other military targets in Kharkov were targeted, it added. The Russian strikes reportedly managed to eliminate some of the Ukrainian intelligence and military officials involved in the planning of Saturday’s attack on Belgorod, the Defense Ministry said. Some fighters with the Kraken Regiment were also killed, the officials added.

According to the RT source,Velichko was initially presumed to have been killed in the counterstrike, but this has not been confirmed.

Neo-fascism must be destroyed in 2024 – Medvedev

Russia should not allow a resurgence of the ideology that led to WWII, the former president has said

Defeating neo-fascism once and for all should be Russia’s “main goal” in the coming year, former President Dmitry Medvedev said in his New Year’s address on Sunday. The Russian people have already demonstrated unparalleled “strength of mind, will to victory and selflessness” in the outgoing year, he added.

The nation’s “hearts and minds” go out to the soldiers on the front lines, Medvedev said, expressing his sincere gratitude to “everyone who defends our great motherland.”This year required “particular resilience and cohesion, determination and power,” as well as “true patriotism” from the Russian people, he added.

The coming year should witness the “ultimate defeat” of neo-fascism, an ideology “Russia’s enemies are trying to rekindle” decades after it was dealt a powerful blow during World War II, the former president said.

Russia is now locked in a protracted conflict with Ukraine, which it accuses of promoting ultranationalist ideology and persecuting its Russian-speaking minority. This year saw Russian forces thwart Kiev’s major counteroffensive. The six-month-long operation launched in early June ended in failure with heavy losses on the Ukrainian side.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also hailed the feats of Russian soldiers in his New Year’s address and called them “heroes.” The president also said the country had been “steadfast in defending our national interests, our freedom and security, [and] our values that have always been and remain our unshakeable pillar.”

Medvedev, who now serves as the deputy head of Russia’s National Security Council and the Military-Industrial Committee, has repeatedly condemned what he called open glorification of Nazism in Ukraine and particularly pointed to an initiative calling for the establishment of the Stepan Bandera Order, which would supposedly be awarded to Ukrainian servicemen. Bandera was a notorious leader of Ukrainian nationalists during World War II whose organization was responsible for mass killings of Jews and Poles in Ukraine.

The former Russian president has also sharply criticized Kiev’s Western backers, calling them a “pro-Nazi coalition” in September. He also insisted Moscow should take a tougher approach to Kiev. On Thursday, he stated that the removal of the Western-backed government of President Vladimir Zelensky is an undeclared but a “most important and inevitable goal” of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.

Moscow’s goals also include “the disarmament of Ukrainian troops and the rejection of the ideology of neo-Nazismby the current Ukrainian state,” he added at that time.

J6 political target drops bombshell whistleblower document that changes everything…

December 30, 2023 (2 days ago)

There are a lot of very sketchy things that went on during the J6 melee. Based on information that Revolver uncovered, we now know that the Capitol was crawling with feds, federal informants, and possibly other government operatives. There are still many questions about what really happened that day, but we’re getting closer to putting the pieces together.

We encourage you to check out Revolver’s “essential J6 reading list.” We’ve gathered our most compelling pieces in one spot for you. Just click below:

In the meantime, the January 6 political prisoners and targets are also fighting back. One of these victims, journalist Tayler Hansen, has just revealed bombshell evidence that shows he was targeted in an illegitimate investigation by the Federal Government due to his reporting on January 6th.

Here’s what Tayler Hansen said in a thread on X:

If I face legal repercussions after publishing this story it is blatant retaliation on behalf of the Government for exposing this.

I am in good health and love my life and would never do anything to hurt myself or others.

I am looking into potential legal actions I can take as this is completely unacceptable.

Thousands of average Americans are on this same list. Instead of stopping actual terrorism the Government is stalking people who they deem to be ‘dangerous’ and paying for it with YOUR tax dollars.

I was followed and harassed for two years— not just in the airport but in my personal life as well.

Of course, BLM and ANTIFA rioters never received this kind of treatment and instead are allowed to fly without being stalked by the Federal Government. This is all completely one sided and is clearly motivated by political leanings.

There needs to be a serious congressional investigation into the way @DHSgov is handling the Quiet Skies program and what other Government entities they’re colluding with to label Americans (AND REPORTERS!) Domestic Terrorists.

Here’s a closeup of the image:

Clearly, our federal government is completely out of control and must be reined in before more innocent Americans are subjected to this “North Korea” style political punishment, similar to Taylor and the other January 6 victims and prisoners, as well as people like Douglass Mackey, who was sentenced to 7 months in prison for sharing an anti-Hillary meme.
