First Tariff Shock Set To Hit Port Of Los Angeles With Ripple Effects Across Economy

Ocean freight transit times from Shanghai to Los Angeles typically range from 14 to 40 days, with faster services—such as CMA CGM's expedited routes—delivering containers in as little as three weeks. With 145% tariffs now applied to most Chinese imports, the full economic impact will likely emerge with a lag of about a month or more as reduced import volumes and supply chain disruptions begin to take effect. Early high-frequency indicators already suggest those disruptions are imminent.

Let's review the key trade war developments since President Trump, following "Liberation Day" on April 2, announced a tsunami of tariff hikes on Chinese imports to 145% on April 11.

Adding to the conversation, FreightWaves CEO Craig Fuller posted on X that trucking activity at the LA Port, the largest container port in the Western Hemisphere, has just plunged.

“Year-over-year trucking activity out of Los Angeles down 23%. It will likely drop to 50% in the coming weeks if there isn't trade war resolution. Massive layoffs coming to the West Coast trucking sector.”

The White House has put itself and the country in a bad situation but doesn’t realize it yet. Around April 10th China-to-USA trade shut down over Tariffs.

It takes ~30 days for ocean shipping containers to go from China to Los Angeles. ~45 days to Houston by sea. ~45 days to Chicago by train. ~55 days to New York by sea.

That means that there are still no economic / supply-chain effects of what was done on April 10th until about May 10th.

All this will start in the Los Angeles area. After about 2 weeks, it’ll start hitting Chicago and Houston.

Let’s say the White House, after 3 weeks, changes its mind, on May 31st. “This isn’t working out like we thought it would. Tariffs back to 0.” Let’s say China says “bygones be bygones, we’ll go back to how things were”. Let’s say every factory in China that got screwed by their orders being cancelled says the same thing “no problem, we’ll make and ship.”

The problem is, even under the most favorable conditions of China and the factories restarting economic ties as though nothing happened, it will be at least another 30 days before economic activity is revived. And that’s just in LA. In Chicago/Houston, you’ll need to wait another 45 days after the manufacturing/shipping restart.

The whole situation is a bit like the COVID lockdowns. Once you shut down, it takes a long time to get economic activity back to where it was, if you ever can.

I began warning you of this last week. I even posted stories about it, strongly suggesting you get the products you need and get done: the repairs of things like cars, and replacement of things like Home Appliances, while there is still stock of those items here in the USA. I warned, the freight activity here in the US is already dropping like a rock, and that means inventories are being drawn-down. Things are going to start running out. Now that I have the time-line for typical ocean freight, as reported above, we can now logically assess the timing of the trade tariff impacts here in the USA.

Today is April 24. The shipping from China halted on April 10, so we are fourteen days into no new freight heading out of China. Sixteen days from now, on about Saturday, May 10, the SHTF starting in LA from no inbound freight. Fourteen or so days after that around May 24th, SHTF in Houston and Chicago. By May 30, SHTF in New York City.

Get what you need now because toward the end of this month, the shortages and outages will hit us like a bomb. There is no avoiding it - it has already happened.

Another senseless deadly war for Israel? Trump is sounding more and more like any other Zionist neo-con. My guess he is if he doesn't stop the threats against China and Iran and he still refuses to walk away from the Russia-Ukraine war then yah, we have been duped.

>>22951299

I'll believe it when I see the arrests happen. Until then, nope, prepping for the worst and ready to hunker down and hide, as he said.

Just like any other communist country more citizens (victims of tyrannical government) will end up fleeing to other countries or the mountains, and many more simply drowning in alcoholism, drug abuse and some simply ending their own lives via suicide. USSA ends like the USSR. Watch.

>>22951374

The way I look at it is:

2022-2024 Biden's war. Not mine, not my problem.

2025-2028 Trump's war. Not mine, not my problem.

Every country has been ripping off America because of our corrupt and treasonous politicians, not just China. In reality no one cares about us, it's all been up for grabs. All we have is our will to survive and arm ourselves at this point. Everyone will have their own breaking point or red lines in the sand. Probably won't end well. Certainly then end won't be for everyone.

What happens when average Americans can't afford a new $10,000 water heater that they have to wait a couple months for due to supply chain backlogs?

I refuse to travel by air anymore. Only road trips. Just stay in the States. Not a problem when almost every Western country is a shithole today anyway. Would like to visit India, but I think it's cheaper to go to one of their endless buffets at this point.

Don't care. The report is pretty accurate, that is what matters. Not your beef with the dude.

War Criminal Bill Gates To Profit From Deranged UK Government Project To Block Sunlight

The corrupt and murderous UK government is poised to approve controversial geo-engineering experiments within weeks, costing £50 million, to reflect sunlight away from Earth using chemtrail technology. Backed by Bill Gates, these trials position him to reap millions in profits as the UK pushes to lead global efforts in manipulating the planet’s climate.

The Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria) is spearheading the funding to establish the UK as a pioneer in geoengineering research, according to the Daily Mail and other sources. The initiative aims to advance techniques that alter atmospheric conditions, sparking debate over the environmental and ethical implications of such large-scale interventions.

“It's May next week and in the UK it's cold and cloudy and raining. People are paying hundreds of pounds a month to heat small homes. Yet here comes the government saying they're going to spend £50 million on blocking out The Sun… Absolutely DERANGED.”

The environment is being destroyed, and not by common citizens or cow farts… it is being destroyed by demonic satanists like Bill Gates and corrupt governments who relish in bloodlust, democide and treason.

The reports outline that the experiments will focus on Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM), including Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) and Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB).

SAI involves injecting tiny reflective particles, such as sulphur dioxide, into the stratosphere to mimic the cooling effect of volcanic eruptions, while MCB uses ships to spray sea-salt particles into low-lying clouds to enhance their reflectivity.

Potential side effects of geo-engineering include regional droughts, crop failures and deadly shifts in weather patterns (actual man-made climate change!). A 2015 study by the Geomar Helmholtz Centre suggested that even combined geo-engineering methods might not prevent temperatures from rising beyond 2°C by 2100, and abrupt cessation could trigger rapid warming, known as “termination shock.”

It’s clear that geo-engineering experiments have already been underway for decades, and now that climate alarmism has been relentlessly pushed for decades it’s been deemed "acceptable" to disclose this particular evil plan to the public. In the US some States, in addition to Federal government agencies under the Trump administration are seeking bans on such radical and deadly geo-engineering activity.
