Trump and ‘our democracy’: What happens when a political system becomes a meme?

Guest Post by Henry Johnston

It is a sign of deep crisis that the concept of democracy has devolved into an ideologically tinged narrative that is defended with empty and exaggerated rhetoric

The verdict in Donald Trump’s hush money trial has bestirred the usual characters in all the predictable ways. And never far from anybody’s lips is the word ‘democracy’.

“Donald Trump is threatening our democracy,” President Joe Biden himself opined, calling the ex-president’s questioning of the verdict “dangerous.“ The editorial board of the New York Times lauded the “remarkable display of the democratic principles” on display in convicting a former president, arguing that this proves that even men as powerful as Trump are not above the law.

Trump 2.0 Must Achieve Total Media Domination

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

The next Trump administration – which is coming because America prefers the Fake Felon over the Skeevy Shower Daddy – must ruthlessly control the new media/information space, unlike last time. After my two previous columns talking about what will likely happen immediately after the election and what must happen immediately after the inauguration, it became clear there was more to say about the vital issue of preparing Trump 2.0 for success. The administration needs a revolutionary communications strategy. Information is power—time to start exercising it.

Do You Know How to Trade a Panic?

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

LivermoreKnowing how to trade amid a panic is one of the most important skills a trader can master, and those who have done it correctly have profited in recent years. This is where the greatest amount of money is both won and lost. Few traders over the decades have really mastered this fine art. It takes a lot of courage, confidence, and understanding how the markets really function.

Hillary: If Trump Wins it Will Be the End of All Elections

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Hillary RedHillary Clinton has a new scapegoat for her failed presidential elections – women. Women, or the 50% of the population, that many Democrats refuse even to define or acknowledge. While promoting her book, “The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America,” Clinton vocalized that losing the female vote potentially cost her the election.

Are You Feeding Your Soul or the Enemy?

Story at-a-glance

  • The modern world actively works against the ability to nurture your intuition and feed your soul, instead, as investigative journalist Corey Lynn puts it, feeding the enemy
  • This “enemy” thrives on the chaos, division and negativity perpetuated through social media platforms and elsewhere
  • It symbolizes the harmful outcomes of collective engagement in fear, misinformation and distraction, leading you away from personal growth and inner peace
  • It’s possible to break free from the mind control and corruption by making small, purposeful changes, such as daily meditation
  • There are concrete steps you can take to overcome fear, find joy in your life and feed your soul, many of which are detailed in my upcoming book, “The Power of Choice”

Reflecting on your thoughts and feelings helps you understand your own behaviors, desires and conflicts more deeply. This self-awareness can improve personal relationships and increase emotional intelligence, ultimately contributing to a more balanced and satisfying life, with ripple effects across society.

A “Restaurant Apocalypse” Is Starting To Sweep Across America, And That Is Really Bad News For The U.S. Economy

Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

You can get a really good idea how the U.S. economy is doing by watching restaurants in your area.  When the economy is booming, restaurant parking lots are full and chains are feverishly establishing new locations.  But when the economy is struggling, restaurants get a lot less traffic and poor performing locations get shut down.  Sadly, in 2024 it appears that a “restaurant apocalypse” has started to sweep across America.  Most people have very little discretionary income to spend as a result of our cost of living crisis, and that is particularly true for our young adults.  Americans under the age of 40 love to eat out, but these days most of them are experiencing financial stress, and this is having an enormous impact on the restaurant industry.

Lawfare Trumps Justice

Guest Post by Jim Rickards

As you know by now, Donald Trump was found guilty yesterday on all felony counts in his hush money trial in New York.

Sentencing in the case is scheduled for July 11, 2024. That’s just four days before the Republican National Convention begins in Milwaukee on July 15. That’s not a coincidence, by the way. It’s calculated to further tarnish his image ahead of the convention.

It’s part of the pattern of lawfare and abuse of the judicial system that began with the Russia hoax in 2016 even before Trump was elected president that year. The campaign against Trump only increased from there, which included two impeachments.

“Another Hurdle”

Guest Post by Eric Peters

Like a fart that can’t be held in anymore, the truth about battery-powered devices (EVs) is finally being emitted. One of these truths – styled a “hurdle for EV adoption” – is the plummeting resale value of these devices.

How much – and how fast?

How about more than 30 percent in just one year? That’s about five times as much loss in over 12 months as you’d typically lose (about 10 percent) if you bought a vehicle rather than a device. It’s a loss that actually fast – as opposed to how long it takes to charge a device.

Alex Jones Repels Ambush Seizure Of Infowars, Sleeps In Studio As Monday Court Date Looms

Via ZeroHedge

One day after Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in his ‘hush money’ trial, a court-appointed officer overseeing the Infowars bankruptcy apparently went rogue on Friday and tried to seize and shut down Alex Jones’ studio without a court order, despite having a reported “path with the [bankruptcy] judge to continue on for years.”

On Saturday, Jones held a four hour X space, in which supporters including Gen. Mike Flynn, Steve Bannon and Roger Stone commented on the situation. All three suggested that Jones stand his ground and peacefully resist.

According to commentator and attorney, ‘Viva Frei’ (David Freiheit), the court-appointed Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) in the Infowars bankruptcy, Patrick Magill, “showed up to lock the place down,” adding “and apparently in the absence of a court order.”

Maher: If Trump Goes To Jail There Will Be A Racial Civil War

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

HBO ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher has predicted that if Donald Trump is sentenced to any prison time, there will be a civil war that will quickly evolve into a race war because of MAGA supporters.

“Here’s the key question: Is he going to go to jail? Would this judge dare do that?” Maher said, adding “And should he? I heard some people say if his name wasn’t Donald Trump he would definitely get jail time.”

“MAGA nation will go nuts. I don’t know if that’s a reason to or not to do something, but they will,” Maher continued during the discussion with former Obama chief strategist David Axelrod.
