Inactive U.S. Marine. No better friend, no worse enemy. Semper Fi. "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies .."
We just got this Force Majeure letter today from AirGas, our helium supplier (for our food science lab, where we have multiple mass-spec instruments that use helium). The letter says that helium supplies are cut off, and if you're lucky, you might be allotted HALF the helium you need. Even then, you will be charged extra for any helium you get. A LOT extra. So basically, every mass spec lab in America is about to go offline. AirGas is expressly invoking FM and saying they cannot meet their contractual obligations. Not their fault. Trump did this by attacking Iran. My lab is fine, of course, because I saw this coming and I ordered my lab staff to buy a one-year supply weeks ago. We already have it in place. So we're still up and running with plenty of helium. But very few lab science people are paying attention to the Strait of Hormuz, so they are getting blindsided by this. Trump's war is shutting down science labs all across the country right now. Don't dare call this "winning." It's a loss for America. And the world.
FIVE YEARS OF GROCERY RECEIPTS JUST EXPOSED THE MOST PROTECTED LIE IN ECONOMICS. Since 2019, the government says cumulative inflation is about 25%. Here is what actually happened to the things you buy every single week: Eggs: +79% Ground beef: +77% Coffee: +68% Car insurance: +55% Electricity: +43% Bacon: +26% Bread: +24% Five out of seven of those are running 2x to 3x faster than the official number. And the only two that tracked near CPI? Bacon and bread. The lowest-cost, lowest-margin items in the basket. The things that actually drain a household budget, the protein, the energy, the insurance you are legally required to carry, those are the ones the official number keeps understating. The CPI was retooled in the 1990s to reduce reported inflation. They added substitution adjustments. They changed how they weight housing. They smoothed out the things that spike. This is documented BLS methodology, not conspiracy. Food overall is up 30% since end of 2019. Car insurance premiums up 54% since 2020. Electricity just hit all-time record prices. But the official line is 2.4% annual inflation and the Fed debates rate cuts. Your grocery receipt is the only honest inflation report left.
Ketanji Brown Jackson's argument justifying birthright citizenship: "If I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me... I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense." Umm... WHAT?!
They don’t want a recession. They don’t want a depression. They want your wealth, your freedom, and your future — served up on a silver platter of engineered chaos. When they tell you it’s just “market forces,” that’s code for “the Dark Hands just hit the reset button again.” The game was rigged from the start. Now they’re just changing the difficulty level to nightmare. The 1970s “Oil Crisis” wasn’t some happy accident where the Arabs suddenly got greedy and the West clutched its pearls. NO. It was a meticulously scripted psy-op starring OPEC, Israel, and the good ol’ US of A, all reading from the same blood-soaked teleprompter handed down by the Dark Hands themselves. They needed stagflation the way a vampire needs a midnight snack — and baby, they got it. You still buying the fairy tale that these were “independent nation-state decisions”? Adorable. That’s the same kindergarten-level “Nation Stating” bedtime story they’ve been feeding you since the Illuminati were still in short pants. There’s been a transnational conductor waving the baton for centuries, folks — long before your grandparents were dodging draft cards. Every “crisis,” every embargo, every sudden price spike… all synchronized by the same invisible orchestra pit. And don’t even get me started on the Arabs and Israelis playing “Frenemies” on the world stage. They’re not enemies, they’re co-stars in the longest-running reality show on Earth — “As the Petrodollar Turns.” Same bloodlines, same offshore accounts, same script supervisors. Fast-forward to today: suddenly everyone’s dusting off their 1973 history books and going “Hmmm, Straits of Hormuz… sounds familiar.” Good. The normies are finally catching the scent of stagflation 2.0 in the air. But here’s the part they’re still too comfy to admit: This time it’s going to be biblical. #Hyperstagflation The debt is so gargantuan it makes the 70s look like a lemonade stand. So the Dark Hands have upgraded the playbook. They’re not just spiking the oil — they’re unleashing a full-spectrum shock-and-awe economic Armageddon designed to turn free citizens into serfs in one glorious controlled demolition. Behold the Four Horsemen of the Great Impoverishment: 1. Asset Valuations Collapse — watch your stocks, houses, and crypto evaporate faster than a politician’s principles. 2. Pension Collapse — poof! Your golden-years promise turns into a IOU written in invisible ink. 3. Escalating “Costs of Living” — because nothing says “we care” like making bread cost more than your mortgage. 4. Counterparty Collapse & Asset Forfeiture/Theft — the grand finale where the orchestrators legally (and illegally) loot everything that’s left, all while wearing serious faces on CNN. @thecryptosniper @TheResetSniper @CapitalCosm
