“On December 4, 2025, at 8:06am PT, the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system was activated for a magnitude 5.9 earthquake near Reno and Carson City, Nevada. The event did not occur and has been deleted from USGS websites and data feeds. USGS and our partners are currently looking into why the warning was issued to a broad region of California, including the Bay Area, the Eastern Sierra, and parts of South-Central California.”

the government is addicted to it. Like someone on fentanyl. It’s illegal, they steal to maintain the habit, and it will kill them in the end, so the government has to keep stealing to maintain its spending addiction until it collapses.

Consumption taxes will be equally disastrous because the root problem of spending isn’t being addressed. VAT in France is now 33% on many items, AND they still have income tax. Whilst spending is uncontrolled, taxes will always rise to accomodate bribes to voters.

Take away our incentive to achieve by giving us everything we need to survive and thrive and society begins to decline. We all need incentive as well as motivation and a positive direction to be something better than we currently are. We need ENFORCED laws and rules and regulations, not what we are seeing now, which is the result of lack of enforcement of our laws and societal rules. If a person tends toward a lack of integrity, if the laws are not being enforced, it’s a good bet that person will take advantage of every chance he/she has to lie, cheat, and steal. And that’s where society finds itself now. Degenerates, druggies, etc pushing a couple shopping carts (that cost their owner about $1,000) down the street loaded with “treasures” they “found” along their way, or walked out of the store with under the new shoplifting rules where they are not even allowed to be stopped or questioned….or sitting in front of a store with a sign, “HELP ME, I’M HUNGRY” and hoping another sucker will give them their change so they can buy more drugs….and then the ambulance comes and hauls them to “Emergency” where they get free treatment and food until the drugs wear out and they go and do it all over again. Rinse Repeat, and they got that way “for free”, including their “jabs”.

It appears this “RABBIT HOLE” is now already world wide and growing….and I can “look down” this hole and watch it grow, but it’s not a road I will ever travel…and I’d say Humanity is EFFED! But with a little motivation, incentive, and hard work, IMO there is still a chance, although, in 2022 when the Georgia Guidestones was “hit by lightening”(wink wink) and torn down the same and next day, that told me the Free Masons believed they had accomplished their goal which was: Reduce the world’s population to 5oo million”. (It’s now just a matter of time).

All The Best from SNG

The US income tax is illegal and unconstitutional. Period. That matters.

Besides that, it is extraordinarily complicated, inefficient, unfair, and a tremendous drain and waste of resources.

Value added or consumption tax is more fair, simpler, and, as I said, I believe is legal.

Because if the dollars that people coercively pay to the government suddenly stop, then so does the country.

Why would a different tax have any greater legality? You already have sales (consumption) taxes, and thousands of others. The real problem is money, and if you eliminate income tax then the people only pay by some other means, for the government must go on! The hole you are in is so deep, and you are digging so frantically, one day you will break through into a massive underground cave and it will all be over.

None of that matters. The US has ABSOLUTELY NO authority to impose an income tax.
I believe a value added or consumption tax could be implemented.
The IRS is an illegal, violent, criminal organization, based in Puerto Rico. It was never even part of the government, unless some things have been re-organized under Trump in recent years with the intent of dismantling the income tax collection side.

If you want to get rid of $2tn of income tax, and tariffs are only producing $0.3tn of revenues, how will you make up the difference?

The deficit this year is closer to $2.5tn with additional Defence and Interest costs alone, without taking the expenditures of the big beautiful bill into account. How will you make up this difference?

You already have a $2.5tn deficit. You are now proposing to almost double that deficit by removing income tax. You have already committed tariff revenue to paying down the national debt of $39tn, which means your beloved tariff revenue must exceed $4.5tn per year to be able to eliminate income tax, eliminate the annual deficit and have some left over for the national debt.

You are totally deluded.

“The author then applies this to the famous Mouse Utopia experiment of John Calhoun, in which a handful of breeding-pair mice were put in a large artificial “world” with unlimited food and water and space for 6,000 mice. The researchers anticipated the mice would proliferate to the maximum limit of 6,000 and then experience some version of population overshoot.

But this isn’t what happened. The mice population reached 2,200 and then collapsed as anti-social behaviors exploded and reproduction ceased. A wide variety of causal factors have been posited and discussed over the decades since the 1962-72 experiments. The Unified Theory of Model Collapse suggests the core causal mechanism is the mice born in this artificial world of endless abundance “trained” on increasingly artificial data and this disconnect from “raw” real-world experience deranged not just individual mice but the entire society of the artificial world of abundance in a crowded, artificial “urban” environment.

The author suggests the current human population has reached the urban population density (roughly 60% of humanity lives in urban settings) that triggers anti-social behaviors and a rapid decline in fertility / reproduction. Many explanations for the current sharp decline in birth rates in most developed-world economies have been offered, and the Unified Theory of Model Collapse shed important light on the causal mechanisms of artificial environments and abundance.”

We have definitely reached this level in Western societies. Fertility is collapsing. Urban crime, urban, where you already have everything, is increasing. Only our oldest neighbours and friends have any idea about ‘life’. Some of our contemporaries who were brought up by so-called intellectuals (so these acquaintances are advanced by a generation compared to us) are totally brainwashed while considering themselves super-intelligent. The farmers complain that the cities all vote left wing so lunatic ideologies are imposed on them in the name of democracy.

… best get your money out of this crap and into real silver … no?

Only buy physical silver.

For sure

I think we all need to read up on what life was like before Income tax etc….the state has grown immeasurably, not only in size but power…..

It needs savaging……This may well be the solution, after all what we have now, can only lead to ruination.

No welfare. No government healthcare. No international fighting force and the industries behind that. And while I would be happy to see everything return to the good old days, I think only a very small percentage of the population would be with me.

And if tariffs work, then the revenue dwindles to zero. The tariffs cause the manufacturing base to rejuvenate, so there are no tariffed imports, and no tariffs.

It’s happening…

A conversation that was once a pipe dream is now becoming mainstream reality. America THRIVED before 1913, before the FED, before the income tax.

And Now, President Trump and his administration has been seeding the idea into the American mind that we can ELIMINATE the INCOME TAX with tariffs, just like President William McKinley did in 1897 — and President Trump is following in his exact footsteps.

The Dingley Tariff Act of 1897, which was the centerpiece of President William McKinley’s domestic economic policy. He believed in protectionism (using high tariffs to protect American industries and workers from foreign competition). Just like President Trump.

Between 1897–1901 the United States had just become the wealthiest and highest-output economy on EARTH, surpassing the United Kingdom as the world’s #1 manufacturing nation and #1 economy in total GDP

By 1900 U.S. industrial production was roughly equal to that of Britain, Germany, and France COMBINED.

Taxation without representation is unconstitutional and ILLEGAL. We, The People are now finally coming to grips with the illusions that have been installed around us our entire lives.

Who is the FED?
What is the FED?
How did the FED come to fruition?
What is the Titanic?
Who was on the Titanic?
What year?

Those illusions are now dissolving. The “Golden Age of America” truly is among us.

There is a plan to restore our country. Gods plan is playing out right now.

ps. – I am always grateful for charts posted here

You are right … the manipulation … MOPE (thanks Jim Sinclair) … are definitely factors.

And there is more … there are the structural constraints … look at my 9:21 post … why wasn’t this done long ago? … we know the answer … etc … why do whack jobs run the world (of finance) … it goes on and on.

That said … it’s time to grow a pair if one is to survive this thing … you don’t want to over trade what is coming (hyperinflation?) … if we don’t get full blown hyperinflation … just look at the ratios … we are only getting rolling now …

Ride’em cowboy folks … stick with your positions … and if you are not in yet … it’s time to jump on the bucking bronco who is not going to give you a smooth ride.

I’m an old cowhand from the Rio Grand …

Re mkts that we are so far basically going sideways, in what I call a C wave down, which is the nastiest and most powerful down wave in a A-B-C pattern…is super bullish, the next up wave could be stunningly powerful….

“We Must Protect Volodymyr”: Leaked Call Shows European Leaders Conspiring Against Trump Peace Plan

Does Gld have the gold….I used to very much doubt it, but the world has changed and if Gold is going to be revalued, then they probably have a greater percentage , maybe even 100 % now….as under the previous regime, Gold had to be suppressed, so why not fake buy etc….now under Trump, the reverse is true……and they sure won’t be bailed out, they’ll be jailed, if they don’t….

Hope I can share this link.Check this out. Now news on USGS deleted it on their Web site immediately. Apparently it was them that sent out alarm to anyone in a certain distance I imagine. It doesn’t say why it got false information.

I don’t know. I got a alert on my phone a earthquake but didn’t say where.USGs didn’t show it.  I had to find it. Look.up city. Didn’t come with news.

So far it is not being shown on the USGS earthquake site map over the last 24 hours. Wonder why? SNG
