It’s less than two months to Election Day — whatever that means anymore. Early voting is gearing up. Reliable polls – Trafalgar Group and Rasmussen Reports – show Republicans gaining. Even the Real Clear Politics average of major polls – that includes corporate media sponsored or cited surveys – show Democrats with a trifling 1.1% edge in the generic congressional ballot. That’s bad news for Democrats.

On February 8, the Japanese yen fell to a 24-year low against the dollar, dropping to 143 yen per dollar. Not much has changed since then with the yen hovering between 142 and 144 per dollar. In September of 2021, one only needed 109 yen to buy a dollar.
Overall, the yen has dropped 21 percent against the dollar over the past year, yet Japan’s central bank apparently has no plans to change course. Nor should we expect it to do so. Japan’s debt load has become so immense that any attempt to raise interest rates or otherwise tighten monetary conditions would prove extraordinarily painful. So, it’s no surprise the BOJ is now positioned to become the world’s last central bank clinging to negative interest rates.

“It’s possible to have more than one reserve currency.”
These are the recent words of Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
It was a stunning admission from the one person with the most control over the US dollar—the world’s reserve currency.
Reading between the lines, Powell’s remarks are a strong hint that the current international monetary system based on the US dollar is on its way out… and soon.

Gold has sure been a four-letter word lately, suffering one of its worst bull summers. The primary culprit was heavy gold-futures selling on a parabolic US-dollar surge fueled by extreme Fed hawkishness. But the resulting gold technical damage really disheartened investors, spawning additional relentless selling from them. This investment bleeding has certainly exacerbated gold’s downside, but its days are numbered.

A shocking new trend is on the move in America: following historic highs last year, renewed efforts to ban books from school libraries across the country are on the rise this school year.
This latest news was reported in two studies filed by the American Library Association (known as ALA), and free speech advocacy organization, PEN America. Their reports show how numerous books have been targeted by radical leftist activists and groups – demanding that thousands of traditional texts be removed from school libraries due to them being ‘offensive’, ‘racist’, or ‘potentially hateful.’

On September 16, 2022, the Biden regime announced that agencies of the United States government must crank up the pressure on the cryptocurrency sector.
The Biden regime wants agencies to identify holes in cryptocurrency regulation and strengthen “digital asset sector enforcement”, per a Reuters report.

The FBI has downgraded child sex abuse material investigations to focus on prosecuting and inflating the threat of “domestic violent extremists,” according to an FBI whistleblower.
A whistleblower has accused the FBI’s Washington Field Office of using cases related to the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot to “overstate” the threat of “domestic violent extremism” in America, according to Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).

The unlikely pairing of Politico and WELT has produced a seven month investigation into Bill Gates’ role in directing global COVID policy. We outline what this investigation concluded in the video below.
The evidence is incredibly revealing towards the concept that yes, money, power and influence have incredible impact on public policy. This as opposed to democracy or the thought of doing what’s in the best interesting of the public or world as a whole (nature included.)

One finds a federal lawyer trying to use his position to avoid a drunk driving charge; another finds a government attorney getting drunk and physically belligerent at a meeting with foreign officials; the third, and most disturbing, finds an assistant U.S. attorney exposing his genitals “in a public place,” and sexually assaulting a “civilian” on a date.
Who were these federal prosecutors? The summary reports don’t say. A spokesperson for the Office of the Inspector General told RealClearPolitics that it could not release their names. RCP has filed a Freedom of Information Act request asking for their identities.

Through the month of September, we’ve been on “Crash Watch” over concerns that a global equity market drop could lead to a liquidity-driven margin call across all asset classes. The watch continues through this week’s FOMC meeting and then into October.
What is “Crash Watch”? It’s sort of like a Tornado Watch for those of us in the American Midwest. A Tornado Watch is issued when atmospheric conditions are supportive of tornado development. Only when an actual tornado develops is a Tornado Warning issued. Or maybe think of it this way:
