The aspirational totalitarians over at Big Tech have seen fit to retrofit 32 million mosquitoes with a bacterial infection, using AI, and then dump them onto California and Florida.

The federal government, beholden as ever to the private interests that run it, is poised to give its blessing.

Via California Post:

“California could soon become a testing ground for one of Google’s most ambitious public health projects yet.

The tech giant is seeking federal approval to release up to 32 million specially treated mosquitoes in California and Florida over the next two years as part of an effort to reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever…

The project is part of Google’s little-known Debug initiative, launched more than a decade ago to develop new technologies aimed at reducing populations of disease-carrying mosquitoes…

Rather than releasing biting insects, the company plans to release male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia, a naturally occurring bacteria. When the infected males mate with wild female mosquitoes, the offspring do not survive, helping suppress mosquito populations over time.

Because only female mosquitoes bite humans, experts say the releases would not increase the number of biting mosquitoes….

Google says artificial intelligence and robotic systems would be used to breed, sort and release the mosquitoes at a scale large enough to make the strategy effective.”

This is for your own good, you understand, because Google loves you and want you to be happy — in much the same way that Fauci had to torture all of those Beagles in offshore labs by strapping their heads into mesh cages and siccing ravenous sand flies to gnaw on their flesh until they mercifully died, or in the way that the Australian Public Health™ authorities had to massacre all of those ostriches on that family farm down under for bird flu even though none of them actually had bird flu.

The answer is always and forever: love.

These are philanthropists and humanitarians.

If you, as an ignorant ingrate, don’t appreciate their altruism, maybe what you need to make the medicine go down is a little time in a labor camp for Deplorables of the kind Hillary Clinton fantasizes about, where work will set you free — a vacation of sorts, to get a fresh perspective, to think things over, and, ultimately, get your mind right.

ISRAEL ASKS TRUMP TO ESCALATE - with Fmr. CIA Larry Johnson

 Pakistan is working with Saudi Arabia to bring peace. The Pakistani PM Sharif talked to Marco Rubio telling 

him in frank terms what Iran will do if fighting is resume. PM Sharif had talked with Xi Jinping last week. Pakistan

has been working with the Saudis guaranteeing theier security. Pakitan and Turkey have been working for a post US 

Mideast.

US diesel supply is running low. The US produces lighter crude good for gasoline. But our trucks are important so we will 

be hurting sooner than Trump thinks. Prior to WW II the US had 65% of world manufacturing capacity but now is 15%. 

We also need to get rare earth minerals from China to make missiles. We are seeing the collapse as the US protective military umbrella.

What Are Americans Most Worried About?

  

 Statista’s Consumer Insights survey has been tracking which issues adults in the United States consider to be the most important in the country right now, and how they have shifted over time.

The following chart, via Statista's Anna Fleck, provides just a snapshot of these, listing the eight most cited concerns out of a possible 20 options, in the most recent survey wave as well as in the survey wave at the start of the pandemic.

  Where health and social security came first in the earlier iteration, likely in reference to Covid-19, it had dropped by eight percentage points by 2025/26.

In the meantime, inflation and the cost of living has risen from third position to first position (+9 p.p).

Other notable changes include a drop in the share of people citing immigration in the latest wave and an increase in the share of people picking housing (previously in rank 14 at 22 percent).

Six of the eight most recent most pressing issues are social, with the sole environmental topic of climate change having dropped off the list, coming in 14th position with 23 percent of respondents picking it, following issues such as education (rank nine), corruption (rank 10) and food and water security (rank 11).

As this chart shows, poverty is now on the minds of more U.S. adults, at least more imminently, than before.

Where it had previously tied in 9th position with education in 2019/20 with a 32 percent share of respondents picking it as one the most important issues facing the country at that time, the share had risen to 33 percent in the latest survey wave.

How Xi Ruined China in 14 Years — Will He Step Down Next Year?

 

 

 (Chinese total government debt was estimated to be 300% of  China's GDP on the Lei's Real

Talk Youtube channel. She also has estimated that China's population will coon drop to

800 million. The number of deaths is twice the the number of births. Because of China's One 

Child Policy there are about 875,000 more adult men than women in the Metro Shanzen. Yet there 

are one million Leftover Women over the age of 30 that nobody wanted. These are educated women with

well paying jobs. Chinese rejects any woman over 30 who has never married. There are over 800,000 poor

poorly paid with no future and no wife and children. That explains why there are so few births. China is

near collapse as is America. But I believe both can be reborn if they can rid themselves of their ruling class.)

Stock Crash Signal Just Repeated for the 6th Time Since 1984 and Foreigners Dumping Treasuries to Make It Worse

  

 Yields spiking exactly like right before 1987, 2000, 2008.

30-year sitting at 5.20%, same spot as 2007 pre-GFC.

Buffett Indicator screaming at 234% of GDP, more than double 2008 levels. Foreign custody holdings crashed to $2.68T, lowest since 2012, down $265B since March on the Iran oil chaos.

BofA straight up calling SPX overcrowded as hell, hyperscalers blowing 70-80% on capex while killing buybacks, year-end target slashed to 7100. Liquidity is getting ripped out fast.

This overvalued bubble is running out of oxygen.

  A 40-year chart of the US 10-Year Treasury yield shows the same pattern repeating over and over again.

 Before the 1987 stock market crash, the dot-com collapse, the 2008 financial crisis, the 2018 selloff, and the 2022 bear market, bond yields spiked sharply higher first.

 The reason is simple.

 Stocks and bonds compete for the same money.

 When Treasury yields rise, large investors can suddenly earn high “risk-free” returns from government bonds.

 That pulls money away from stocks. And the more expensive the stock market becomes, the more dangerous that shift gets.

 Right now, the US 30-year Treasury yield has surged to 5.20%. That is the exact same level seen in 2007 right before the Global Financial Crisis.

 But today’s stock market is even more overvalued than it was back then.

 The Buffett Indicator is now around 234% of GDP. Before the 2008 crash, it was around 105%. The Shiller CAPE ratio is near 40. The only time valuations were higher was during the 1999 dot-com bubble.

 This is creating a massive problem for equities.

 Stocks are no longer offering enough return compared to bonds. The Equity Risk Premium has now fallen to around -1.5%. That means investors are taking significantly more risk in stocks while earning less return than long-term Treasuries.

 The last time this happened was during the 2000-2002 tech collapse.

 At the same time, the drivers behind rising yields are becoming more dangerous.

 US national debt has now crossed $38 trillion. Annual interest payments are above $1 trillion for the first time ever. Oil prices are also surging again as tensions involving Iran continue pushing inflation risks higher.

 And global bond markets are starting to break together.

 Japan’s long-term bond yields just hit the highest levels in decades. UK bond yields are near multi-decade highs. Global borrowing costs are rising everywhere at the same time.

 This puts the Federal Reserve in a very difficult position.

 If the Fed cuts rates too early, inflation can surge again. If it keeps rates high, borrowing costs continue crushing housing, businesses, consumers, and government finances.

 That is why rising yields become so dangerous late in a cycle.

 They slowly remove liquidity from the entire system.

 And today’s market is heavily dependent on AI stocks, mega cap tech, aggressive valuations, cheap refinancing, and speculative positioning.

 The exact same conditions that become vulnerable when yields keep rising.

 The 40-year yield chart now ends with a large red question mark at today’s levels.

 History shows markets usually ignore rising yields for a while.

 Until suddenly they cannot anymore.

Foreign US Treasuries held in Fed custody are down to $2.68 trillion, the lowest since 2012.

  By comparison, Treasuries held in custody at the Fed peaked at $3.14 trillion in March 2021.
