Microsoft is navigating a “perfect storm” of financial instability and consumer resentment as its ambitious pivot to Artificial Intelligence begins to backfire. Following two devastating share price crashes in a single week, Wall Street analysts and global consumers are asking the same question: Has the world’s most powerful software company lost its way?

The crisis, which wiped billions off Microsoft’s market valuation overnight, was catalysed by rare back-to-back downgrades from Melius Research and Stifel.

Analysts expressed “shock” at the low adoption rates of Copilot—estimated at just 15 million paid users despite three years of aggressive marketing—while the company simultaneously pours an eye-watering $100 billion to $200 billion into AI infrastructure.

The “Lose-Lose” Capital Trap

Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes described Microsoft’s current position as a “lose-lose” scenario. To keep pace with Google and Amazon, Microsoft must continue to ramp up its capital expenditure (capex), a move that is already cannibalizing its free cash flow.

“If they don’t increase spending now, it reflects an execution issue or a desperate need to manage earnings,” Reitzes warned. “Neither is a good sign for investors.”

Compounding the financial dread is the massive $625 billion backlog of contracted revenue, of which nearly 45% is tied to OpenAI commitments. Analysts warn this high concentration of risk makes Microsoft vulnerable to any cooling of the AI sector.

This is how Bondi responded when asked why she has not indicted any clients of Jeffrey Epstein.

This is why she needs to be replaced with someone who actually wants justice. Someone who is not compromised.

A very revealing moment in Parliament today.

The Home Secretary told me that the rape gang scandal ‘was’ one of the darkest moments in our history.

No, Shabana. It still is. It is happening now. Today. All over Britain.

The country needs to understand that.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna SHREDS Senate Majority Leader John Thune for Planning to Cave to Schumer and Kill the SAVE Act

Gaetz: Congresswoman, you have been trying to shoehorn the SAVE Act into just about every piece of legislation south of a Mother’s Day resolution, and we just got word from Senate Majority Leader John Thune that he is not going to force Democrats to stand up and do a talking filibuster. What does that say about his leadership in the Senate?

Luna: I think that it’s very disturbing that he is not listening to not just what the Republican voting base wants, but America in general. This Act, voter ID is one of the biggest bipartisan issues, I think, from banning insider trading, that we’ve seen in a while, and yet, you have both John Thune and Chuck Schumer agreeing on this issue that they don’t want to put it on the floor, which is very odd.

I think, that if you’re going to depend on President Trump’s coattails to get elected to office, if you are going to say that you’re Republican, and then if you’re going to turn around and complain that I’m bullying you in the house for wanting to pass the SAVE Act, which is common sense legislation, very low hanging fruit, and the right thing to do, then maybe you should consider getting a different job.

Thomas Massie just put Pam Bondi on the spot over the Epstein files cover-up.

And it was explosive.

“I caught you red-handed!”

“This is bigger than Watergate.”

“This cover-up spans decades, and you are responsible for this portion of it.”

Watch this bombshell moment:

“This email was a list of names not to release.”

“What did the DOJ do with this email?”

“They released this email in the document production.”

“Literally the worst thing you could do to the survivors.”

“The next document I want to show you … the title of this one is Child Sex Trafficking Co-Conspirators.”

“Fully redacted.”

“I’m gonna un-redact them here.”

“Les Wexner is in this.”

“The third exhibit that I have … these are the documents that we need, that you’re over-redacting, because they have the names of the men who are implicated.”

“Who’s responsible?”

“Are you able to track who it was that obscured Les Wexner’s name as a co-conspirator in an FBI document?”

Bondi: “I believe Wexner’s name was listed more than 4,000 times—”

Massie: “Yeah, I already told you that.”

“This is where he’s listed as a co-conspirator.”

Bondi: “Within 40 minutes, Wexner’s name was added back—”

Massie: “Within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed!”

Bondi: “Did you ask Merrick Garland that the last four years?”

Massie: “I’m glad you’re asking about Merrick Garland, because this is bigger than Watergate.”

“This goes over four administrations.”

“Let’s go back to Obama.”

“Let’s go back to George Bush.”

“This cover-up spans decades, and you are responsible for this portion of it.”

Russian Airlines Suspend Flights To Cuba, Begin Evacuation Of Citizens, Over Fuel Crisis

Another major blow has hit Cuba as its economy gets decimated by US-led sanctions, and as Trump's embargo of vital Venezuelan oil for the island continues rolling downhill (Mexico had quickly followed suit by halting its oil to Cuba as well).

Amid the fuel shortage which has caused mass disruptions and flight stoppages at the main hub José Martí international Airport, two of Russia's largest airlines have announced the suspension of flights to Cuba

Moscow has already declared operations to evacuate all Russian tourists and citizens who wish to leave, and so outbound-only flights to bring them home have been authorized.

Rossiya, part of the Aeroflot group, and Severny Veter (Nordwind), are impacted - and the outbound-only evacuation flights have been authorized to begin Thursday.

The airlines said they are being forced to redirect flight routes in the region "due to challenges with refueling in Cuba."

This follows on the heels of flagship carrier Air Canada being one of the first major international airlines to suspend flights. Canada currently has no economic sanctions against Cuba, and trades with the island-nation, having maintained diplomatic relations going all the way back to 1959.

While Americans have by and large been absent from the Caribbean nation, also given no direct flights from the US, Cuba has long been a favored tropical vacation destination for Canadians.

Earlier this month international reports said Cuba was merely days from running out of fuel, and widescale power outages across various districts of the country have only worsened.

"The last known delivery came via a tanker from Mexico in early January, but Mexico halted exports amid US pressure," The Guardian notes. "At the same time, crude flows from Venezuela have dried up after a US operation in January that resulted in the capture of Nicolás Maduro, cutting off support from Cuba’s most trusted energy supplier."

Havana's lone primary international airport has seen drastic developments such as the following:

In recent hours, a video has gone viral on social media showing dozens of tourists disembarking from a plane on the tarmac in Moscow after their flight to Cuba was aborted just before takeoff.

The testimonies collected by the Russian outlet Mash on Telegram indicate that passengers on flight SU6849 had almost taken off when, "at the last moment, when the engines were already running, the pilot announced that there was no fuel in Havana," forcing the flight to be canceled at the last minute.

The below scene was captured days ago…

Crux of his long post

To summarize, Jeffery Epstein was not the top of the pyramid. He was also not some self serving flim-flam man selling sex and depravity just to gain access to the halls of power. Rather, Epstein was a middle-man, a drug dealer selling dopamine experiences as a reward for members of the cabal (while collecting blackmail materials). But the cabal is far bigger than what we see in the Epstein files and it supersedes any one nation or government.

For the elites who link themselves back to the pagan practices of ancient Babylonian times, from the era of Molech worshipers (Bohemian Grove) and beyond, the ritual of cannibalism is integral to their religion. They believe that human sacrifice gives them power and this is a common thread within most pagan systems including satanism.

Luciferianism/satanism is an integral element of globalism. The evidence of its practice within globalist circles is immense and cannot be ignored. Some skeptics would denote a separation between “satanism” and “luciferianism”, but for all intents and purposes they are intertwined belief systems.

Satanists are occupied with the pursuit of pleasure at the expense of morality, while luciferians are occupied with the pursuit of power and godhood at the expense of morality. For adherents of both practices, their motto is “Do What Thou Wilt.”

The average person has the capacity for evil, there’s no doubt.

People can be driven to all kinds of horrors depending on their circumstances.

But, the majority of us have a mechanism called “conscience” which stops us from committing evil most of the time. It also causes us to feel guilt when we know we have acted in a destructive manner.

If the majority of the population did not have a universal experience of conscience and morality, we would have gone extinct as a species thousands of years ago.

Globalists (psychopaths) do not have this mechanism. In fact, they view conscience as a hindrance, a trait of the weak and the easily victimized. They are a predatory class of human. I would even suggest that they are not human at all, but a mutation or a cancerous intrusion.

When psychopaths achieve overt material wealth they then have easy access to the resources they need to satisfy their impulses at will. At this stage in the evolution of a psychopath they have a tendency to become bored. They begin to chase increasing depravity and darkness in search of a greater dopamine fix. The more degenerate and taboo the activity, the more exciting it is.

Part of the allure of occultism is the glee some people feel when they believe they are “superior” to their common man. Occult groups sell their members on the notion that they will be set apart as “elite” when they join with the keepers of secrets.

Epstein’s Island might have been tame in comparison to some of the other meeting places of the elites. His island was not the end destination but a gateway for initiates

Unfortunately, it’s no mistake that globalist NGOs have flooded the west with third world migrants and mobilized armies of far left insurgents in the past few years. After the pandemic they know that the public is reaching information saturation and that their agenda is coming to light. They will seek to overthrow conservative movements, exploit useful idiots to destroy their enemies and cause general mayhem in order to sabotage any organized resistance.
