Dr. Anthony Fauci says that we are entering a “risk period” and that we should “act accordingly.” That could be tyrant-speak for: brace for more totalitarian lockdowns and control.
“We are entering into a risk period and we’ve got to act accordingly as we enter into that risk period,” Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on CNN in late September, as cases began to steadily increase. The “third wave” is officially here, although many of us didn’t know there was a second wave of this scamdemic.
“What worries me is that in those areas of the country, which is a large country, heterogeneous in many ways, if you don’t have the control now as we get towards the end of September, of getting such a low percentage that it is entirely manageable when things change that work against you, and what works against you now is we’re getting into a weather season where people will be spending more time indoors,” he stated. “Those are things I get concerned about as we get into October and November and December.”
Here is “solid” scamdemic data compiled by the mainstream media propaganda outlet, Time:

As of Oct. 24, there was a weekly average of 23.0 infections per 100,000 residents, up from 20.5 on July 19 and ticking rapidly upward. The country also set a new single-day record on Oct. 23 with 83,757 new cases.
We know now that the third wave will be worse than the second, which was far worse than the first, when cases peaked at 9.7 per 100,000 on April 7. –Time
Take a look at this too:
The twin threads of the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 Presidential Election that have cornered the headline market all year were perhaps destined to converge, but the timing couldn’t have come any more conspicuously, as deadlines for requesting and submitting mail-in ballots loom or have passed in many states and polling locations scramble to enact safety measures for those who vote in person. –Time
This is purely speculation on my part, but what if they institute a second lockdown right before the election preventing people from voting in person and causing mass hysteria and violence? It’s possible, and reading that blurb certainly makes it seem like they are thinking about it if it isn’t already a part of their grand plan…
Please make sure your preps are in order. Do an audit, head to the dollar store in your area, and grab anything you might be missing on the cheap now. If nothing happens, at least you are prepared for the next crisis.

In WW2, in order to defeat the German army and save Europe from total annihilation, both the Russians and Americans fought a common enemy, which was Hitler’s nightmarish vision for Europe and, indeed, the world. It wasn’t a real alliance, though. The two countries had vastly different approaches to life on planet Earth and as soon as this mission was completed, each of them went on their own separate ways.
The Democrats and Republicans saw a common enemy in the past few months. It isn’t the virus; it is the disappearance of the American consumer.
Here’s a question that every politician, on both sides of the aisle, has asked himself in the past few months: Just how important is spending to the GDP of the country? It’s estimated to be around 70% of it!
Now you see why, despite having no confidence in each other’s policies and truly remarkable levels of personal disgust and animosity towards certain players in the equation, they were able to rush stimulus bills through. The enemy was too great to fight over the usual stuff, so they put it aside for the greater good.
It doesn’t seem likely that will continue after the elections are concluded.

What is America about? You got your answer in the past few months; the United States of America is a business enterprise, masquerading as a country.
The glue that binds all Americans together doesn’t exist anymore. If one does a road trip, passing through the various states that comprise the union and asks the following question: Has President Trump handled the crisis successfully or not? I guarantee that he’ll receive such a buffet of opposing answers that the only conclusion he would be able to make is that people are emotional right now, not logical.
What I want to do is re-introduce reason and common sense to the equation and to show you the potential realities ahead of us:
- Biden wins and Democrats sweep the House and Senate.
- Biden wins, but Republicans hold the Senate.
- Trump wins, but Democrats sweep the House and Senate.
- Trump wins and Republicans hold the Senate.
If possibility (A) occurs, this is the trajectory American enterprises will take: Green initiatives, solar energy, cannabis legalization, plenty of infrastructure programs, and continued reliance on outsourcing.
If possibility (D) happens, we’re looking at bigger defense budgets, better conditions for the banks, and massive upside for tech. The energy industry might get help as well.
In both cases, we believe infrastructure is important to both parties.

Lastly, what we’re seeing with the dollar looks to be over-stretched. We believe it has bottomed in the near-term, so a HANDS-OFF approach seems to be ideal with precious metals until the storm passes.
The dollar has been extremely weak since the FED had made their presence felt in March and April.
In the last two months, though, the FED has largely exited its aggressive asset purchases.
Clearly, markets are taking this as a sign that the recovery is strong and that there’s no rush for more injections, but that’s all wrong.
Most small businesses are toying with bankruptcy; seriously, it’s bad out there!
The stock market isn’t the gauge of the Main Street environment at all.
We are 100% confident that more aid is on the way.

After a mixed bag of PMI data from Europe (UK ugly, Services weak compared to Manufacturing), preliminary October data for both segments of the US economy were expected to rise (despite a trend towards weaker macro data for the last two months).
Interestingly, US saw a mirror image of Europe – with Manufacturing disappointing (53.3 vs 53.5 3exp) and Services stronger (56.0 vs 54.6 exp)
Source: Bloomberg
The combination proved enough though to lift the US Composite index to 20-month highs and suggest economic growth is rebounding confidently…
Commenting on the flash PMI data, Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at IHS Markit, said:
“The US economy looks to have started the fourth quarter on a strong footing, with business activity growing at a rate not seen since early 2019. The service sector led the expansion as increasing numbers of companies adapted to life with COVID19, while manufacturing continued to report solid growth amid rising demand from households and businesses.
“A slowdown in hiring and weaker new order inflows were in part attributable to hesitancy in decision making ahead of the presidential election. More encouragingly, business optimism surged higher, indicating that firms have become increasingly positive about prospects for the coming year amid hopes of renewed stimulus, COVID-19 containment measures gradually easing and greater certainty for businesses a and households after the presidential elections.”
Perhaps most worrying for The Fed, however, is that Markit found “Inflationary pressures also eased. Despite a further strong rise in cost burdens, service providers sought to generate more sales and limit increases in output charges.”
Get back to work Mr.Powell!

Pollster Frank Luntz put together a virtual focus group of undecided voters from swing states Thursday night to get their impressions of the second and final debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
The economy question
In an eye-opening moment near the end of the session, Luntz asked the 13 focus group participants the following question, “Who do you believe would do a better job with the economy after listening to tonight’s debate, Joe Biden or Donald Trump?”
Luntz wanted a show of hands for each candidate — and when he asked who thought Biden would be better for the economy, not one hand went up.
When he asked if Trump would do a better job with the economy, every single hand went up.
“Clearly by that Trump is the preferred candidate,” Luntz said in response.
Individual responses
Luntz then turned to the focus group participants to get their individual reasons for preferring Trump over Biden.
Jennifer from Michigan said Trump “has knowledge and a skill set to actually bring us ahead. I think that prior to COVID … the first three years of his presidency, he was doing great. And then COVID happened, and our economy has obviously gone into the tanker … and if there’s somebody who’s going to get us out, I believe it’s going to be him.”
Elizabeth from Georgia said that before the coronavirus pandemic, the economy was “better than it has been before. Our 401Ks have grown like crazy, and even in this pandemic look at the stock market — it’s crazy. Everybody had jobs … and here in Georgia, everybody can still have a job. Everywhere I go there’s ‘help wanted’ signs, everywhere.”
Tasha from Ohio said that navigating the economy “will take a special skill set” and that Trump “has shown us that he can recover in many different areas.”

A tweet from Luntz offered some words from focus group members to describe Trump and Biden based on their debate performance:

According to the Los Angeles Times, Luntz selected participants only if they met the following criteria: Currently registered to vote in one of 11 swing states; self-described as “possible” Biden or Trump voters; self-defined independents; and consider themselves “undecided.” Participants were compensated $100 each for their time, the paper said.
The Times also said that, along with Luntz, it asked Sewell Chan, its editorial page editor, to pose questions to the focus group and provide analysis. He was pictured on the bottom of the screen next to Luntz.

Many prepper sites have been warning about the food shortages since the toilet paper panic of March 2020 when the scamdemic’s fear campaign took hold in the minds of millions of Americans. The intentional disruption of the supply chain by most governments worldwide will result in a net shortage of about 8 billion meals.
Most readers of this site are already set. However, if you don’t have at least 6 months of storable food for every person in your family, you may want to consider getting what you can now. There is no realistic way to follow this advice because it’s impossible to prepare for everything, but do your best:
Last Minute Prepping Advice: Be Ready For Literally ANYTHING!
The mainstream media has really amped up the “third wave” rhetoric in the past three days. According to Yahoo News, grocers are a little more prepared this time around and have been stocking “pandemic pallets” of food they can reorder quickly, but some things will still be hard to find.
At this point, all it is going to take to see people wipe out the grocery stores again is a lying politician opening their mouth. Keep in mind that any announcement could be the trigger.
Local food banks are gearing up for a rough winter as far as food shortages go too. A hefty amount of the shortages are due to the government’s commands and dictates during the coronavirus scamdemic. The supply chains will likely never fully recover either.
At other processing plants, production levels declined due to employee absences by workers that had health concerns related to coronavirus. For a few weeks, the U.S. meat processing industry was only operating at 50-60 percent of capacity. Normally, more than 450,000 head of market hogs are processed each day in the U.S., so when daily processing levels dropped by 40 percent, there was quickly a backlog of market hogs. This resulted in the necessity to euthanize hundreds of thousands of market hogs for several weeks. –Crow River Media
Additionally, food prices are expected to skyrocket in the coming months. The finite economic law of supply and demand will come into play. Please don’t get caught off guard.
Remember, we made it clear that most people are unaware of what they should be stocking upon, as they buy all the prepackaged meals and frozen pizzas:
Grocery Stores Are Prepping For the 2nd Wave Of COVID-19 Panic Buying
Use this to your advantage and buy beans, rice, coconut oil, olive oil, and cases of canned goods (don’t forget a can opener.) Let other people have all the frozen pizzas they want. It won’t hurt to grab a few extra rolls of toilet paper right now as you can as well.

A massive Taiwanese electronics company promised to build a huge factory in Wisconsin and provide 13,000 new jobs in exchange for tax breaks and other incentives.
The company built the facility, but officials are asking: Where are the jobs, and what is being produced?
A new report reveals that the new factory is a fake.
What’s the background?
Back in 2017, Taiwan’s electronics giant Foxconn vowed to build what the company said would be a $10 billion factory in Wisconsin that would employ 13,000 people building LCD TV screens. In exchange, the state government offered the company more than $4 billion in incentives, including $3 billion in refundable tax credits.
In June 2018, President Donald Trump, Foxconn CEO Terry Gou, and former Wisconsin officials ceremonially broke ground on what was supposed to be the site of a 20-million-square-foot complex.
But on March 30, 2019, the company suddenly announced it would not be building the plant after all.
President Trump then stepped in to make phone calls to Gou and reportedly got the company to agree two days later to go forward with the planned factory.
Great news on Foxconn in Wisconsin after my conversation with Terry Gou! https://t.co/2wtuCdl7TX— Donald J. Trump (@Donald J. Trump)1549046648.0
What’s happening now?
Well, Foxconn has built a factory in Wisconsin, but it appears that’s about the extent of it.
In a story posted Wednesday evening, the Verge revealed that the factory is essentially a fake.
Citing a report from the Wisconsin Division of Executive Budget and Finance, the Verge said Foxconn did not build the giant Gen 10.5 LCD facility for building TV screens it had promised. Instead, the electronics outfit built a “smaller Gen 6 LCD factory” that “shows no signs of manufacturing LCDs in the foreseeable future and ‘may be better suited for demonstration purposes.'”
The building is reportedly 1/20th the size originally promised — and now is not even being used for anything close to its stated purpose.
According to the Verge, Foxconn got a permit to “change its intended use from manufacturing to storage.” Also, the company has yet to order the equipment necessary to make LCDs.
And those promised 13,000 jobs? Turns out that the company hired only 281 people by the end of 2019 who qualified to meet the terms of the deal with the state. Many of those employees have already been laid off, the Verge said. And the job numbers continue to go in the wrong direction.
Has the state responded?
Now the state is striking back, saying that the Foxconn project does not warrant the massive subsidy package pushed and approved by then-Gov. Scott Walker (R), which included at least $400 million in state and local government spending on land and infrastructure the company will now probably never use.
The state report cited by the Verge said, “Taxpayers fully performed their side of the agreement to date, while the Recipients have not,” adding that “state taxpayers have spent as much if not more than” Foxconn has its campus.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, which has been tasked with overseeing the Foxconn deal, elected last week to deny the company its first installment of $3 billion in refundable tax credits, the Verge reported.
According to the WEDC, Foxconn has refused to come to the table to negotiate a revision of the company’s contract, despite multiple warnings the state has issued that the current project is in violation of the state’s agreement and therefore ineligible for subsidies.
In a message responding to the Verge’s report, Foxconn said it was seeing “progress in Wisconsin” in spite of the many “growing pains,” including the “need to explore new business opportunities, adjust to changes in global customer requirements, and a constantly evolving global technology industry.” The company reportedly told the outlet that it is committed to making things work in Wisconsin but noted that the state’s decision to deny some subsidies “threatens the good faith negotiations” over a new contract.
Gou responded more bluntly:
A statement the same day from Foxconn founder Terry Gou, however, struck a more ominous tone, linking the future of the project to continued state support and, implicitly, to President Donald Trump’s reelection. “Foxconn will work as a partner with those who treat the company as a partner,” Gou wrote. “Foxconn will remain committed to the completion and continued expansion of our project and investment in Wisconsin as long as policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels remain committed to Foxconn and the very important technology development goals driving the company’s investments, as President Trump has done.”

The fiscal 2020 budget shortfall totaled $3.13 trillion as the Trump administration added another $124.6 billion to the deficit in September, according to the latest Monthly Treasury Statement.
That more than doubles the previous record deficit of $1.4 trillion set during the Obama administration at the height of the Great Recession.
The fiscal year ended on Sept. 30. Revenues were basically flat on the year, falling slightly from $3.46 trillion in FY2019 to $3.42 trillion. But total spending soared, coming in at $6.55 trillion. That compares with $4.45 trillion spent in fiscal 2019.
The national debt surged above $27 trillion on Oct. 1, and it has grown by over $7 trillion since President Trump took office. That equals $217,612 of debt for every American taxpayer.
When Trump moved into the White House in January 2017, the debt stood at $19.95 trillion. It topped $22 trillion in February 2019. That represented a $2.06 trillion increase in the debt in just over two years. By November 2019, the debt had eclipsed $23 trillion.
The debt-to-GDP ratio currently stands at 137.21 percent. Despite the lack of concern in the mainstream, debt has consequences. Studies have shown that a debt to GDP ratio over 90 percent retards economic growth by about 30 percent. This throws cold water on the Republican mantra “we can grow ourselves out of the debt.”
A big chunk of the excess spending in FY2020 came courtesy of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act. But the Trump administration was already spending money at a near-record clip before the pandemic. The coronavirus spending simply exacerbated an already out of control federal spending problem.
Last year, the Trump administration ran a $984 billion deficit. At the time, it was the fifth-largest deficit in history. This goes to show that the federal government had a major spending problem before the pandemic. In fact, through the first two months of fiscal 2020, the deficit was already 12 percent over 2019’s huge Obama-like number and was on track to eclipse $1 trillion. Prior to 2020, the U.S. government had only run deficits over $1 trillion four times, all during the Great Recession. We were approaching that number prior to the pandemic, despite what Trump kept calling “the greatest economy in the history of America.”
No matter what happens in the 2020 election, the borrowing and spending will almost certainly continue unabated. The Democrats have proposed another $3 trillion stimulus plan. The Republicans have pushed for a slightly lower number. But as market analyst Peter Schiff said in a podcast, the Republicans have conceded the argument when it comes to a principled opposition to stimulus. The debate has devolved to how much to spend and where to spend it. “I knew the Republicans lost the argument the minute they accepted the false doctrine that stimulus is good,” Schiff said.
Basically, were arguing the Democrats’ point that government spending helps the economy, that deficits don’t matter, that printing money doesn’t matter, that we can have all the government we want. We don’t even have to pay for it as long as the Federal Reserve prints the money. So, the minute they accepted the Democrats’ argument, they lost.”
According to a recent CBO report, on the current trajectory, the size of the national debt will be nearly double the size of the U.S. economy by 2050.
It’s easy to simply shrug off the debt. People have been warning about it for years. But it’s not a problem until it is. Debt is neither free nor is it irrelevant.
At some point, somebody has to pay for all this. As the saying goes – there’s no such thing as a free lunch. We are all on the hook for the massive bill. We (and our children and grandchildren) will pay for this down the road – either through higher taxes or higher inflation – most likely both.

They want them to beg.

PortfolioWealthGlobal.com believes that you’re ABOUT TO SEE what’s called a RECESSION-FEAR sentiment kick in, since everyone has now BEEN CONVINCED that there’s no recession in sight, so any vaccine delay or SECOND WAVE of infections and hospitalization bumps will BE DETRIMENTAL — investors have made a killing since March, so there will also be profit-taking!
Here’s what we think is most important of all: there will BE VOLATILITY, maybe even for a few months, until the FINAL TALLY is determined and we have an officially confirmed president.
In our opinion, because of Covid-19, the economy is moving towards certain industries, which will get SUPER-STRONG. We actually will have a new report out; the PREVIOUS FOUR (2, 3, and 4) have been tremendous successes.

I want to tell you that the best thing you can do is find out how to take YOUR SKILLS and capitalize on them, since this recovery is going to offer plenty of opportunities.
The coronavirus has shown me how limited governments are at solving personalized issues. Everything is either comprehensive and broad-based and just inefficient.
So, what are my notes to you?
- If you’re STILL EMPLOYED, see what more you can do for your employer. Begin to get things done with HIGHER QUALITY and come up with ideas for improvement.
Go the extra mile so much that he thinks you’re A CHANGED MAN.
Think and then act as if the business is yours!
You’ll see results; in fact, you won’t believe the outcomes of a CHANGED ATTITUDE and approach.
- If you’re BETWEEN JOBS, capitalize on this flexibility. Look at things close by, but this might also be an opportunity to get creative, move to other areas of the country, change careers or work from home.
As much as possible, keep your OPTIONS OPEN.
- If everything is fine, KEEP AT IT!
The world has changed; live accordingly.

What’s becoming QUITE OBVIOUS is that hedge funds’ fears of a double-dip recession or another market crash HAVE DIMINISHED quite noticeably since they’re RE-ENTERING the equities markets.

You might have a different opinion of what’s going on, but Larry Fink, the founder of BlackRock, which oversees over $7tn in assets, is telling us that millennials are in it for the LONG-TERM.
We believe the bull market in equities is fundamentally strong and that we’ll see MUCH MORE of it in the years ahead.

You might have a different opinion of what’s going on, but Larry Fink, the founder of BlackRock, which oversees over $7tn in assets, is telling us that millennials are in it for the LONG-TERM.
We believe the bull market in equities is fundamentally strong and that we’ll see MUCH MORE of it in the years ahead.
