JUDGE SETS LISA COOK HEARING FOR TODAY, WILL AMERICANS SOON GET THEIR INTEREST RATES DIRECTLY FROM TRUMP AS HE ADDS 1 TRILLION IN DEBT IN JUST 48 DAYS?
A judge set a hearing for Friday morning on Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook’s request to block President Donald Trump from firing her.
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/trump-fed-lisa-cook-lawsuit-powell.html
The court decision may determine whether Americans can look forward to hearing what their daily, weekly interest rate is directly from the Oval Office.
If Trump does manage to fire Fed Gov Lisa Cook on some pretext or other and get control of the Fed, Americans and the world may soon be finding out the interest rate directly from the King himself whenever and wherever he decides.
Rates may soar and fal with alarming speed depending on Trump s mood judging from his handling of trade agreements also with India.
Woe, to the American public if they displease him by daring to vote against him at the mid terms. Then the rates may soar to 15%, 15000% because there is NO WAY the American public can DENY he is winning and the ECONOMY is FANTASTIC. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BE AMERICAN. RIGHT?
This, as it emerges Trump has managed to add a staggering $1 trillion in debt in 48 days, pushing the total US debt to $38 trillion and fueling fears of long-term fiscal instability.
That means, deficits are increasingly unsustainable.
The FAZ reports Trump s phone calls drove India s clam and mild mannered PM Modi to breaking point. In the end, he rejected four of Trump s calls.

So, watch out Americans.
Because India is now the fourth the biggest economies in the world according to the World Bank
https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/india/overview
India remains the world’s fastest growing major economy, growing at a rapid clip of 8.2 percent in FY23/24.
So, if King Trump can treat India like that, what hope do his American vassals have?
They may soon find him holding impromptu press conferences in the Rose Garden, on a golf course or the steps of AirForce 1 to announce interest rates changes every day or even hour.
Fleeing from King Trump, Modi jumped on a plane for his first trip to China in seven years to meet Putin and XI to forge a new alliance, which could speed up the end of the dollar and the reign of King Trump.
Modi s visit to China may anger King Trump now ensonced in the Oval Office with a circle of courtiers suspected to have been handpicked by Epstein, Netanyahu and oligarchs.
However, Trump has not yet launched a barrage of posts against MODI or threatened to FIRE him for making ZERO concessions DESPITE BEING OFFERED THE BEST DEAL POSSIBLE or warned the Indians will turn against their KOOKY PM
Yet...

The US added $1 trillion in debt in 48 days, pushing totals near $38 trillion and fueling fears of long-term fiscal instability.
Analysts warn deficits remain unsustainable even if interest rates fall, with spending surging to 44% of GDP—levels unseen since WWII.
Deficit spending has become the largest macro driver with the least mainstream attention. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and decentralized finance (DeFi) are no longer just speculative plays. Rather, they are structural hedges against a broken fiscal system.
...
Washington posted a $291 billion deficit in July alone, the second-largest for any July on record. Deficits are running at $1.63 trillion for fiscal year 2025, up 7.4% year-over-year (YoY), and on track to exceed $2 trillion.
Similarly, government spending has exploded to 44% of GDP, a level only seen during World War II and the 2008 financial crisis.
While the Federal Reserve (Fed) still insists on a soft landing, the underlying numbers tell a harsher story. Revenues are barely growing at 2.5% annually, while spending surged nearly 10% last month.

From media
France is edging closer to potentially seeking a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as its government faces mounting pressures, with Finance Minister Eric Lombard acknowledging that the risk of IMF intervention is "in front of us." The country’s economic instability has been worsened by a ballooning national debt and a rising budget deficit, expected to hit 5.4% of GDP this year, according to reports.
Lombard admitted that while the government hopes to avoid seeking IMF help, it’s a possibility they can’t rule out. "It is a risk that we would like to avoid, and one that we should avoid, but I cannot tell you that this risk does not exist," he said. France’s debt currently stands at a record €3.3 trillion (£2.85 trillion), surpassing the size of its entire economy, putting significant pressure on the government’s ability to maintain fiscal control.
On August 26, long-term borrowing costs for France reached their highest level since 2011, with the yield on 30-year French bonds rising to a 14-year high of 4.42%. The 10-year yield also rose to its highest level since March, further highlighting doubts about the country's economic future.
debt stood at €3.345 trillion at the end of the first quarter of 2025. This figure has increased significantly over the past two decades. From 60% of the gross domestic product (GDP) at the start of the 2000s, it crossed the 100% threshold in 2020 due to the pandemic and has continued to rise, reaching 113.9% of GDP this year.
What does this mean?
The difference between French and German government bond yields is a key barometer of investor confidence in France’s fiscal outlook. When the gap widens, it signals rising anxiety—like back in June after President Macron’s snap elections, and now again with new political gridlock and US trade tensions driving the spread up. Analysts at MUFG highlight echoes of last December, when failed budgets and a prime minister’s resignation sent the spread near a recent high. So far, currency markets have stayed calm, and ING expects the eur/usd rate to hold steady unless French risks intensify. But with a September 8 confidence vote and a looming ratings review from Fitch, investors are wary. Unresolved policy standoffs and questions over budget discipline remain, while Japanese buyers—who once stepped away from French debt—are still tiptoeing back in.
France’s fiscal reputation faces renewed pressure, with the OAT/Bund spread at its widest since last year’s biggest political shocks. Further downgrades from credit agencies like Fitch could trigger more selling—especially among cautious foreign investors. While some technical factors play a role, any fresh twists or deeper political divides could jolt bond and currency markets again.
France’s gridlock highlights wider European worries about political fragmentation, lackluster reforms, and ballooning public debt. A failed confidence vote in September could open the door to another government shakeup, sending ripples through global investor sentiment toward European assets. Beyond France, the episode raises big questions about Europe’s capacity to manage rising populism and external shocks without stumbling.

Frankreichs Premierminister François Bayrou ist wahrlich nicht zu beneiden: Die vorherigen Regierungen – und Präsident Macron selbst – haben einen Schuldenberg in Höhe von 3,3 Billionen Euro aufgetürmt, das sind 114 Prozent des Bruttoinlandsprodukts. Damit weist Frankreich in absoluten Zahlen die höchste Staatsverschuldung der Eurozone auf vor Italien (3,0 Billionen) und Deutschland mit derzeit 2,7 Billionen Euro. Gemessen am BIP rangieren die Franzosen bei der Schuldenquote auf Platz drei hinter Griechenland (153 Prozent) und Italien (138 Prozent). Deutschland ist aktuell „nur“ mit 62,3 Prozent des BIP verschuldet.
Darüber hinaus gibt es eine europäische Dimension: Frankreich ist nach Deutschland die größte und wichtigste Volkswirtschaft der Eurozone. Ohne schlüssiges Konzept, wie der Staat das Defizit eindämmen will, könnte das Land in eine Schuldenspirale geraten. Sie hätte das Potenzial, die die gesamte Eurozone zu destabilisieren.
Renditen französischer Staatsleihen schießen nach oben
Schon im Vorfeld haben die Kapitalmärkte reagiert: Französische Staatsanleihen werden verkauft. Dadurch sinken ihre Kurse und die Renditen steigen. Zuletzt stieg die Rendite für zehnjährige französische Staatsanleihen auf 3,5 Prozent und notiert damit über der Rendite ihrer spanischen Pendants und nur knapp unter der Rendite des hoch verschuldeten Italiens. Der Spread, also der Renditeabstand, zwischen deutschen und französischen zehnjährigen Staatsanleihen stieg dadurch auf fast 80 Basispunkte und liegt damit über den Werten der Staatsanleihen Spaniens oder Griechenlands.
allen Szenarien würden die Renditen französischer Staatsanleihen weiter steigen. In der Folge könnte auch die Stabilität der gesamten Eurozone erneut infrage gestellt werden. Dann würden auch die Renditen der übrigen Euroländer steigen – was auch die deutschen Verschuldungspläne und den Bundeshaushalt treffen würde.
Präsident Emmanuel Macron kommt nur noch auf 21 Prozent Zustimmung, Bayrou gar nur auf zwölf Prozent.
Breiter Volksaufstand
Der Blockadetag wirkt deshalb jetzt schon wie ein breiter Volksaufstand gegen die unpopuläre Staatsführung. Die gesamte Anti-Macron-Opposition ist dabei – auf der Rechten Marine Le Pen, auf der Linken das "Unbeugsame Frankreich". Dessen Anführer Jean-Luc Mélenchon versucht dem 10. September sogar ausdrücklich einen Generalstreik aufzupfropfen und die Führung der Proteste zu übernehmen.
Der Präsident und der Premier versuchen der Bewegung zuvorzukommen. Bayrou hat am Montag bei einer Pressekonferenz bekanntgegeben, er wolle nach Absprache mit Macron am 8. September, also zwei Tage vor der nationalen Blockade, eine außerordentliche Parlamentssitzung einberufen. Dort werde er selber die Vertrauensfrage stellen. Das Kalkül hinter dieser Flucht nach vorn: Bayrou und Macron hoffen, dass die Rechte aus Angst vor einer neuen Gewaltorgie am Blockadetag die Regierung stützen wird.

Der christdemokratische Premier hat deshalb im neuen Etat 44 Milliarden Euro an Einsparungen vorgesehen. Gesundheitsausgaben werden beschnitten, die Renten vor dem Vorjahresniveau eingefroren; 3000 Beamtenstellen fallen weg, wie auch zwei Feiertage, darunter Ostermontag.
Wie einschneidend diese Maßnahmen sind, ist umstritten. Ein Beispiel: 3000 Stellen sind nur 0,05 Prozent der 5,7 Millionen öffentlichen Stellen in Frankreich. In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten hatte die Zahl der Staatsstellen um 500.000 zugenommen. Das rechtsliberale Magazin Valeurs actuelles spottete deshalb, Bayrou zücke in Wahrheit "nicht die Kettensäge, sondern nur die Gartenschere".
Warum geht das Budget trotzdem nicht durch?
Nicht nur die Aktion "Tout bloquer" ("Alles blockieren") zeigt: Die Streichung zweier Feiertage – und das ohne Lohnkorrektur – wird von vielen als Angriff auf das französische Savoir-vivre angesehen. Die Franzosen sind aufgebracht: Alles wird teurer, das Leben wird härter – und jetzt sollen sie auch noch länger malochen! Ostern würde zu einem normalen Wochenende verkümmern. Die Regierung wird dadurch nicht beliebter: "Wenn Bayrou einmal abgehauen ist, werden wir so glücklich sein, dass wir daraus einen neuen Feiertag machen", flachste einer in den sozialen Medien.
Die Zeitschrift Alternatives économiques moniert, Bayrou dramatisiere die Lage der Staatsfinanzen bewusst, um sich und Macron vor der Vertrauensfrage als verantwortungsbewusste Politiker darzustellen. Dabei habe Macron seit seinem Amtsbeginn selbst tausend Milliarden Euro verprasst, und das nicht nur in der Covid-Zeit.
Und jetzt, fügt das linke Magazin an, drohe das "Austeritätsbudget" die Wirtschaft noch ganz auszubluten. Besser wäre ihm zufolge die Einführung der sogenannten Zucman-Steuer, benannt nach einem Mitarbeiter des Kapitalismuskritikers Thomas Piketty: Die Vermögen von über 100 Millionen Euro würden stärker besteuert, was bis zu 20 Milliarden Euro in die Staatskasse spülen könnte.
Die Macronisten haben diese Reichensteuer aber im Senat abgelehnt. Ihr Argument: Die gesamte Abgabe- und Steuerquote der Franzosen betrage fast prohibitive 47 Prozent – ein internationaler Spitzenwert, der die Wirtschaft zunehmend abwürge. Neue Steuern seien deshalb für Frankreich tabu, hatte auch Bayrou vor der Sommerpause erklärt. Mit dem Rücken zur Wand stehend erklärt er nun, er wolle die "begütertsten Franzosen" stärker zur Kasse bitten. Nur so dürfte es ihm gelingen, das Budgetdefizit von 5,4 Prozent geringfügig zu senken.
Wer ist schuld an dem ganzen Finanzdesaster?
Fakt ist: Seit fünfzig Jahren haben die aufeinanderfolgenden Links- und Rechts-Regierungen in Paris keinen ausgeglichenen Haushalt, keine schwarze Null mehr zustande gebracht – weder Macron noch seine Vorgänger Mitterrand, Chirac, Sarkozy oder Hollande. Alle türmten die Staatsschulden und die Zinslast auf.
Die EU-Kommission legte sich allerdings nie quer. Als ein Journalist den damaligen Kommissionspräsidenten Jean-Claude Juncker 2016 fragte, warum Brüssel kein Bußverfahren gegen Paris einleite, sagte dieser schulterzuckend: "Weil es Frankreich ist."
Klopft in Paris bald der IWF an?
Damals, kurz vor Macrons Einzug in den Elysée-Palast, hatte Frankreichs Staatsverschuldung noch 2100 Milliarden Euro betragen. Heute wiegt der Elefant im EU-Raum, den man in Brüssel so ungern erwähnt wie in Paris, 3300 Milliarden – mehr sogar als die chronische italienische Schuldenlast. Wirtschaftsminister Eric Lombard musste am Montag zugeben, dass Paris in zwei Wochen sogar höhere Anleihezinsen zahlen werde als Rom. Und ein höheres Defizit aufweist als Italien.
Außerdem will Lombard eine Intervention des Internationalen Währungsfonds (IWF) für den französischen Patienten nicht mehr ausschließen. Die Grande Nation wie ein Entwicklungsland behandeln, wie Griechenland, Spanien oder Portugal zu einer Sparkur verdonnern? Die Franzosen, perplex, müssen sich erst noch an diese demütigende Eventualität gewöhnen. Zuerst wollen sie Bayrou in die Wüste schicken. Und Macron am liebsten gleich hinterher: 67 Prozent der Franzosen wünschen sich laut einer Umfrage, dass nach Bayrou auch der Präsident abdankt. (Stefan Brändle aus Paris, 28.8.2025)
...
Bayrou, appointed by Macron just nine months ago, vowed on Tuesday to “fight like a dog” to remain in power. But the parliamentary arithmetic is stacked against him, with opposition parties on the far right and the left already declaring they will vote against him.
The PM’s troubles escalated after he outlined proposals for a budgetary freeze in 2026 and the abolition of two public holidays, a plan that drew howls of outrage from all sides. Bayrou says austerity is imperative because France is broke and on the cusp of a “national emergency” over its deficit and debt.
By now putting his own job on the line he appears to be daring political opponents on the far right and left to press the nuclear button – hoping they won’t want the blame for the ensuing upheaval with France already facing pressure on the bond markets.
The timing suggests he is also hoping to outmanoeuvre the anonymous organisers of “Bloquons Tout”, a grassroots campaign that is threatening to bring the country to a standstill with nationwide anti-cuts protests on 10 September.
Either way, Bayrou’s days in the Matignon appear to be numbered. Angelique pointed out that the veteran politician recently achieved the distinction of becoming the most unpopular French prime minister since the start of the Fifth Republic in 1958.
A snap poll for the French TV channel TF1 published Wednesdsay morning showed that 63% are in favour of dissolving parliament – in other words, fresh elections – and 68% think Macron should resign if an election perpetuated the current parliamentary gridlock.
Paul Taylor, a France-based Guardian opinion contributor and senior visiting fellow with the European Policy Centre, says Bayrou’s calculus is that if the vote is purely on the fiscal crisis and the need to take drastic measures to reduce the debt mountain, enough opposition MPs will abstain and the government will survive with enhanced legitimacy.
“But it doesn’t look as if either the political class or the public are buying Bayrou’s argument that France is on the brink of a debt crisis,” he noted.
Bayrou was appointed after his predecessor, Michel Barnier, was ousted after using special powers to force through spending cuts after just three months in the role.
Because of the size of the French economy, the uncertainty is a concern for the eurozone more broadly. The Paris stock market tumbled after Bayrou’s announcement, shares in French banks slid and borrowing costs have risen.
French opposition parties have said they will not back Prime Minister François Bayrou after he called a vote of confidence on 8 September on plans for deep budget cuts.
....
If the government does collapse, President Macron faces the choice of either leaving Bayrou in place as head of a caretaker government, naming another prime minister or calling new elections.
Bayrou made his announcement after visiting the president during his holiday at Fort Brégançon in the south of France, so Macron was fully briefed on the prime minister's plans.
Macron himself has refused to resign, and his term is due to continue until 2027, however it was his decision to call snap elections in 2024 that left France with a minority government made up of centrists and right-wing Republicans.
The 'Bloquons tout!' movement aims to paralyze the country on September 10 in response to the social cuts by François Bayrou's Government.
...
President Macron and Prime Minister Bayrou are now the least popular executive duo of the Fifth Republic, both below the 20% threshold of popular approval. Bayrou faced, in fact, in July, the eighth vote of no confidence in six months of his term, driven by the left-wing bloc and narrowly saved thanks to the abstention of Marine Le Pen's National Rally, which, however, has shown willingness to bring down the Government in the next attempt if it persists in its "attack against French workers and pensioners."
...
François Ruffin, a documentary filmmaker and commentator close to Jean-Luc Mélenchon and La France Insoumise, predicts that what may happen in September will be "a popular censorship before parliamentary censorship", which could end with the fall of Bayrou's Government and possibly, ultimately, with the calling of new early elections.

EHUD BARAK, EPSTEIN, THIEL SOUGHT RUSSIAN CONTACTS IN 2015
MAY HAVE BEEN THE GENESIS OF THE PLAN TO SEND THE KREMLIN BASED ALEXANDER ZAMYSLOV TO INTERVIEW ME IN LARISA ONLY FOR HIM TO LET IT SLIP THAT KUSHNER, BANNON HELPED WITH THE VISA FOR THE DOC ON A PLAN TO OVERWHELM THE USA WITH VIRUSES AND JABS
After his first arrest for sex crimes, Jeffrey Epstein tried to get into a new line of work: surveillance. In 2015, he partnered with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to invest in a security tech startup called Reporty Homeland Security, now known as Carbyne. Leaked emails show that Epstein was using Barak to seek out opportunities in the surveillance industry and build connections with powerful figures around the globe, including American businessman Peter Thiel, the former director of Israeli signals intelligence, and two people in Russian President Vladimir Putin's circle.
...
While Epstein was trying to deal with the American tech sector, he was portraying himself to Russian elites as an apolitical wheeler-dealer. In April 2015, Epstein introduced Barak to former Russian Deputy Minister of Economic Development Sergey Belyakov, who then invited Barak to attend the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. That wasn't the only business Epstein had in mind.
"I spoke to sergey afterwards. he will help. I suggest you send him a note that states. that you think Putin and his advisors would benefit from spending some time with Jeffrey to discuss markets. currency and the financial system in the new world of zero interest rates. and that I am not political," Epstein wrote in a separate email to Barak.
According to the Russian opposition news outlet Dossier Center, Epstein offered Belyakov advice working around U.S. economic sanctions against Russia. Sen. Ron Wyden (D–Or.) alleged in July 2025 that the U.S. Treasury had files on Epstein's transactions with now-sanctioned Russian banks adding up to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Barak kept Epstein abreast of his contacts with another Russian businessman, Viktor Vekselberg, a Putin ally. While scheduling the Thiel meeting, Barak asked Epstein if there was time that day to have coffee with a man referred to as "VV" and "Viktor."
.
In April 2015, Barak asked Epstein what he thought of Fifth Dimension, an intelligence company backed by Vekselberg. The pitch slideshow that Barak sent promised the "transformation of massive scale data from multiple feeds into actionable intelligence utilizing artificial intelligence in an automated real-time manner," and it included mockups of surveillance screens and maps tracking individual people.
Epstein wrote back that Barak should call him on the phone. Although it's not clear what came of the call, they didn't discuss the project further. Fifth Dimension was shut down in 2018 after Vekselberg came under U.S. economic sanctions for alleged election meddling.
Throughout their relationship, Epstein signalled to Barak that he was interested in keeping abreast of security-related technology, emailing Barak articles about cyber warfare, emergency preparedness, Russian nanotechnology, and Unit 8200, the Israeli equivalent of the National Security Agency. "I enjoy strategy, and strategic planning, and at the same time am AMAZED by the rate of which technology has moved into the private sector," Epstein mused in an April 2015 email, adding that "many corporations are looking for a new military like perspective on mgmt."
Reporty, a startup focused on overhauling 911 emergency dispatch technology, could bring Epstein into that world. One of its cofounders and directors was Pinchas Buchris, a former director of Unit 8200. Buchris told Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper that broke news of Epstein's involvement in 2019, that the investment was structured to conceal Epstein's role: "Barak brought the money and as far as I'm concerned it's his. I don't know Epstein and haven't met him."

The Deep State's favorite weapons giant defense contractor, Lockheed Martin - which may or may not be next on Trump's partial nationalization schedule - wants to have German peer Rheinmetall manufacture ATACMS and Hellfire missiles in Germany, business magazine WirtschaftsWoche cited a Lockheed executive as saying.
"We are already actively discussing additional manufacturing - including for ATACMS and Hellfire missiles," Lockheed's Europe head Dennis Goege told WirtschaftsWoche, adding that it would take place at Rheinmetall's expanding Unterluess site in northern Germany.
The two companies said in April they would expand their cooperation beyond a memorandum of understanding signed in 2024, with the U.S. group providing missile and rocket technology, and Rheinmetall manufacturing and selling missiles in Europe.
Goege also told the magazine that the final list of missiles had yet to be determined.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte visited the Unterluess site on Wednesday, together with German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil, to attend the opening of an artillery production line at what will be Europe’s biggest ammunition factory as Germany sets out to massively expand its military.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump presided over a policy meeting on Israel's war in Gaza and post-war plans for the Palestinian territory on Wednesday with input from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former Trump Middle East envoy Jared Kushner, a senior White House official said.
Donald Trump’s son-in-law has resurfaced in the Oval Office as part of a White House brains trust on the plans for a post-war Gaza Strip. Jared Kushner, who served as an adviser during Trump’s first term in office, was seen as the architect of the 2020 Middle East Abraham Accords peace agreement

CNN reported in May that he has continued to advise the president on Middle East issues. Kushner reportedly attended a 90-minute meeting on Wednesday which also involved former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Presidential Envoy for Peace Missions Steve Witkoff.

Amid mostly silence in Congress, some US lawmakers on opposite sides of the political spectrum spoke out on Saturday after a UN-backed report warning of famine in parts of Gaza.
“Let’s be clear: President Trump has the power to end the starvation of the Palestinian people,” Vermont’s politically independent senator Bernie Sanders posted on X. “Instead he is doing nothing while watching this famine unfold. Enough is enough. No more American taxpayer dollars to Nethanyahu’s [sic] war machine.”
Sanders, who also pushed resolutions to ban selling US weapons to Israel, has long been consistent about his concern regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza amid the war.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates went to the White House on Tuesday for a meeting with the president, according to a Gates spokesperson.
In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, the spokesperson noted, "Bill met with the president to discuss the importance of U.S. global health programs and health research that is necessary to save lives, protect Americans’ health, and preserve U.S. leadership in the world."
https://www.aol.com/news/bill-gates-met-trump-talk-002558063.html
Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, has found himself at the center of renewed vaccine conspiracy theories following news of his upcoming appearance on the popular Korean talk show “You Quiz on the Block."
Gates arrived in Korea on Aug. 20, marking his first visit to the country in three years. Soon after, reports surfaced that he had participated in a recording of “You Quiz on the Block,” and the production team heightened anticipation by posting a behind-the-scenes photo with the caption, “Can’t believe this day has come … filming with this special guest!”
However, after the post went public, a wave of malicious comments quickly followed. Many online users criticized Gates, leaving comments such as “Stop talking about vaccines” and attacking him over his role in global vaccination campaigns. Some also directed hostility toward Yoo, demanding he publicly prove his own vaccination status.
RFK JR RESCINDS EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION FOR DEADLY COVID JABS AS NET CLOSES IN ON THE GATES, EPSTEIN LINKED BLACKMAIL RING IN THE WHITE HOUSE
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had rescinded emergency use authorizations (EUAs) for covid vaccines, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Wednesday, saying the move was made to end vaccine mandates.
This, seven months after Trump assumed office on a mandate to put Gates and Fauci in prison for their covid jab, censorship and other crimes against the American military and public which RFK Jr himself documented in books and constantly referred to during the campaign in order to win votes.
If RFK Jr is rescinding the emergency approval of covid jabs now, it is only because he must fear the net is cloing in on him and his blacmailed paedo ring as the House Republicans subpeona material.
It may also be because the net is closing in on the Epstein circle and Gates, Kushner and Trump because of their crimes documented in Greek prosecutor probes since 2015 known to Russians and half the world.
RFK Jr may be in the tens of thousands of Epstein videos which Pam Bondi obtained from the FBI and which Trump has tried to suppress and even deny exist.
He may be blackmailed by Gates also linked to Epstein.
What other explanation is there for his feigning and tricking his way into office only to do the opposite?
RFK Jr has to stand trial along with Gates for causing the mass poisoning of millions of Americans and for deliberately ignoring the science showing the jabs are causing deaths and sickness as well as for participating in a criminal scheme to disenfranchise American voters using a secret agreement and blackmail material linked to Epstein.
Of course, if he is in any video abusing children, then he must pay the price for that too.
What RFK Jr can be sure of is that he will pay the price for his deceit and mass poisoning of Americans for 7 extra months when the science, data were crystal clear and there is no law, no rule which allows dangerous jabs to be given to anyone!!!
RFK Jr pledged to follow the science. To have given verifiably dangerous covid jabs under false pretences to Americans for seven months means he must stand personally accountable for all the harms that he has caused in addition to joining in a coup against democracy orchestrated by Gate, Barak, Netanyahu, Kushner and the Mossad, Epstein circle.
RFK JR RESCINDS EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION FOR DEADLY COVID JABS AS NET CLOSES IN ON THE GATES, EPSTEIN LINKED BLACKMAIL RING IN THE WHITE HOUSE
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had rescinded emergency use authorizations (EUAs) for covid vaccines, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Wednesday, saying the move was made to end vaccine mandates.
This, seven months after Trump assumed office on a mandate to put Gates and Fauci in prison for their covid jab, censorship and other crimes against the American military and public which RFK Jr himself documented in books and constantly referred to during the campaign in order to win votes.
If RFK Jr is rescinding the emergency approval of covid jabs now, it is only because he must fear the net is cloing in on him and his blacmailed paedo ring as the House Republicans subpeona material.
It may also be because the net is closing in on the Epstein circle and Gates, Kushner and Trump because of their crimes documented in Greek prosecutor probes since 2015 known to Russians and half the world.
RFK Jr may be in the tens of thousands of Epstein videos which Pam Bondi obtained from the FBI and which Trump has tried to suppress and even deny exist.
He may be blackmailed by Gates also linked to Epstein.
What other explanation is there for his feigning and tricking his way into office only to do the opposite?
RFK Jr has to stand trial along with Gates for causing the mass poisoning of millions of Americans and for deliberately ignoring the science showing the jabs are causing deaths and sickness as well as for participating in a criminal scheme to disenfranchise American voters using a secret agreement and blackmail material linked to Epstein.
Of course, if he is in any video abusing children, then he must pay the price for that too.
What RFK Jr can be sure of is that he will pay the price for his deceit and mass poisoning of Americans for 7 extra months when the science, data were crystal clear and there is no law, no rule which allows dangerous jabs to be given to anyone!!!
RFK Jr pledged to follow the science.

TRUMP S FIRING OF LISA COOK CAUSES INVESTORS TO FLEE US BONDS, DOLLAR, MARKS THE FINAL STAGE OF THE COLLAPSE OF THE DOLLAR, PAVES WAY FOR HYPERINFLATION, DICTATORSHIP BY TRUMP AND HIS EPSTEIN CIRCLE
Trump announced he was firing Lisa Cook with immediate effect on Monday night on his social media platform, in a power grab over the Fed and the US monetary policy which marks another milestone in an impending collapse of the dollar.
The mere fact that Trump is ready to create a Constitutional crisis by trying to remove Cook with emergency powers and unsubstantiated allegations and apparant lies has sent shockwaves through global markets and caused investors to flee to crypto and gold amid fears Trump will succeed in getting control of the Fed and bending its policies to control inflation to his ever changing whims as he sits behind his desk in the Oval Office.
From media
Long-term US government bonds were sold off on Tuesday, suggesting that investors are concerned about the Federal Reserve's independence after Trump's attempt to fire one of the central bank's governors.
If investors start to doubt the Fed's credibility, borrowing costs for the US government could rise – and that would have knock-on effects around the world since they are used to set the price of assets.
Cook is one of seven members of the Fed's board of governors, and in this position sits on the 12-member committee which is responsible for setting interest rates in the US.
"His attempt to fire her, based solely on a referral letter, lacks any factual or legal basis," Cook's lawyer said on Tuesday. "We will be filing a lawsuit challenging this illegal action."
The Federal Reserve weighed in too.
"Congress, through the Federal Reserve Act, directs that governors serve in long, fixed terms and may be removed by the president only 'for cause'," the central bank said in a statement. "Long tenures and removal protections for governors serve as a vital safeguard, ensuring that monetary policy decisions are based on data, economic analysis, and the long-term interests of the American people."

Up until now, Trump has resisted firing the Fed Chair Jerome Powell who has kept interest rates high to controlinflation, due to fears of market shocks. Powell s term is due to run out in May 2026.
Fixated as Trump and his Epstien linked White House are with lower interesr rates, the Fed s independence is close to an end and its take over by the White House almost certain.
The Fed s de facto take over by Trump means the end of the Fed’s credibility to signal future policy and have markets believe it and manage the economy effectively.
Chaos.
If Trump succeeds in getting control of the majority of seven Fed govs on the 12 member Fed Board by using emergency powers and a flimsy pretext, then he can influence the Fed s long term personnel compositions, its decisions and crucially get the Fed to lower interest rates, which he thinks will spur investment funded by credit sufficient to offset inflation.
However, lower interest rates will almost certainly not spur investment sufficient to offset inflation given the massive debt and structural problems of the US economy which Trump has made worse by misguided policies.
Growing fears of US collapsing into hyperinflaiton comes as a ever weaker US economy is becoming more irrelevant to the broad global economic picture as the BRICS rise up to replace America, the UK and EU with sound currencies and economics and an alternative payment system as well as more advanced militaries.
Trump's tariffs have brought India closer to Russia and China and could give birth to a $54 trillion global powerhouse
The overvaluation of the dollar means the 54 trillion dollar figure does not capture the real economic power of India, Russia and China.
Markets rightly expect lower interesr rates will fuel inflation, already rising due to Trump s tax cuts, import taxes and tariff chaos and factors.
If a Fed does not rise interet rates to combat inflation, then hyperinflation is around the corner because of structural problems in the US economy as dicussed also by Bill Gross.
Bill Gross's bearish outlook on U.S. 10-year yields is a reminder that structural forces—fiscal deficits, inflation, and global trade dynamics—can outlast even the most aggressive monetary policy shifts. While the Fed's potential rate cuts may offer temporary relief, the long-term trajectory for yields remains upward. For bond investors, the 4.25% level is not a safe haven but a warning sign. In this environment, prudence, diversification, and a willingness to adapt to shifting macroeconomic realities will be the keys to success.
At the same time, lower interest rates will make long term and even short term US bonds issued to fund the governments gigantic and ever growing debt (due to Trump s tax cuts) unattractive for investors, raising the issue of insolvency.
If Trump cannot raise money from investors to fund the ever growing budget deficit, expanding also due to his tax cutes, then he will have to print money, fuelling inflation, hyperinflation and burying the dollar.
Whichever way, sooner rather than later, Trump will unleash a wave of inflation if he goes ahead with his plan.
Investors will abandon the US Treasuries and the dollar. The gigantic US bond market will be affected.
The dollar s role as a reserve currency will end. The value of the dollar to other currencies will sharply decline. Imports will become far more expensive, fuelling another wave of inflation in a downward spiral for the US economy.
Trump may well seek to control the fall out from the mass impoversihment of Americans due to hyperinflation by imposing a dictatorship.
However, this result in civil war as the public will understands very well that Trump has caused the economic catastrophe by his policies. The also understand that Trump and his close circle of advisors Lutnik and Bessent are linked to a shadowy network of blackmailers and paedophiles through Epstein, creating a crisis in democracy.
Hyperinflation and civil war will also pave the way for the BRIC countries to buy up the USA.
Trump and his corrupted FBI, who have suppressed the Epstein files, may even send in agents to arrest or intimidate Cook.
Whether the US Supreme Court has the backbone to stop Trump s dictatorial rampage and the total collapse of the US economy into hyperinflation and dictatoship is an open question given its half hearted attempts to put checks on a plainly illegitimate president likely blackmailed by Epstein and caught in crimes against the American public in prosecutor probes in Greece in 2017.
Who are the "good people" he has in mind to replace Cook?
Stephen Miran, co author of Trump s tariff chaos?
https://fortune.com/article/who-is-stephen-miran-paper-trump-tariffs/
He told us his tariff wars would do that . But they created a disaster for the US economy as all his and Bessent and Lutniks calculations failed because of their overestimation of the strength of the US market and the desirability of the dollar in 20205.
He told us his tax bill would do the same but it has not. It has increased the budget deficit and debt and done little to stimulate the economy.
So why given all his failures, does Trump believe this time he will not fail by destroying the Fed s credibilty by forcing lower interest?
The answer may be, alas, the moron effect. The moron never learns.
The falure to learn is amplfied by fake or failing alt media like Zerohedge or Alex Jones who persist in trying to spin things for Trump and serve up pro Trump propaganda instead of giving a realistic analysis of how dangerous it is for Trump and his Epstein cronies to be seen anywhere near the Fed given their record.
They should start learning Russian, Chinese and prepare for their trials because this criminal network linked to Epstein is now globally known.
EVEN PAL OF STEVE BANNON, ALEX JONES FUMES AGAINST TRUMP FOR HIS DAMAGE TO THE USA AS THE CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST FOR THE EPSTEIN LINKED WHITE HOUSE
During his Tuesday broadcast, Alex Jones ranted about President Trump blaming incompetence for the downfall of America when it is clearly being destroyed on purpose by globalist maniacs.
That said, the possibly illegal firing of Lisa Cook fuelling market unrest as the dollar collapses and the tariff wars are indeed about incompetence
Our depraved elite in politics and in media have reached levels of imbecility unprecedented in modern history lkeluy because of their route to power.
Their route to power is not talent or ability. Their route to power is depraved acts of evil caught on camera to be used as blackmail material to control them.
The deprvaed controllers who have cooked up this scheme to obtain total control of the machinery of gov also seem to have no talent or intelligence. They do not know how to use the power. They do not have the brains to think, generalize, analyse, Everything is a data point with no connection to logic or reality. Evil is by nature stupidity.
They have obtained power through depravity and criminality and they know only how to wield it mechanically. They give their tools imbeicilic instructions and then they are amazed everything collapses around them in 2025 when virtually the entire globe is aware of what is going on and they have to be political,intelligent, connected.
The fake alt right media led by Epstein linked Steve Bannon is one reason why the elite are so out of touch with the public because its intepretation of how the public thinks is just as delusional for the same reason.
The people in the media like Bannon, Alex Jones and likely Tucker Carlson have not reached their position by talent but by being participants in corruption.
The days when Steve Bannon and his cronies could write a plausible script to explain away to the public all the betrayals, lies and failures of their elected politicians to advance the Epstein linked agenda and destroy them are over now that the public are looking at the Epstein blackmil ring directly.

It was Alex Jones who used his lawyer to attack Candace Owens and defend Macron s baseless lawsuit because Candace is highlighting the secret method and system by which incimpetent, depraved individuals obtain so much power, so many wealthy backers.
Alex Jones, pal of Steve Bannon, who is linked to Epstein is in delusional mode of his fellow imbeciles if he thinks MAGA will cheer seeing Trump fight his political enemies for his personal profits in the courts rather than putting Bill Gates, Fauci and RFK Jr in prison.
VIDEO: “When The Indictments Come, I Want All Of Your Apologies!” Alex Jones Calls Out Pessimistic Patriots For Preaching Doom In The Face Of Total Victory!
In 2025, the public know an indictment means nothing.
Mere indictments of big Dem names are meaningless.
Indictments for crimes of public interest, for crimes against the American public, are what people are looking for and there are none in the pipeline.
Trump is the Deep State. The Trump White House are the Globalists.
The fake indictments against personal enemies in a mafia turf war between two wings of the elite could backfire as the American public backs the Democrats just as the fake indictment against Trump backfired and led to support for him.
When the grand juries are open against the Trump s political enemies over exaggerated tax and other crimes and, the partiots will not declare victory as Alex Jones claims.
They do not have the minus 10 IQs that Alex Jones believes they have.
When Trump continues the Epstein cover up, the forever wars, the Gaza genocide and the destruction of the dollar, the covid jabs, mere technical indictments are meaningless propaganda pushes.
