The U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 3 rejected two challenges to the federal government’s ban on gun bump stocks that were imposed following the Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017.
Bump stocks are devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to increase their rate of fire. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) reversed a previous conclusion and classified bump stocks as forbidden under a 1934 U.S. law called the National Firearms Act.

The Swiss global bank, Credit Suisse, which is a derivatives counterparty to major Wall Street banks and U.S. insurers, raised alarm bells in markets on Friday and is raising more anxiety this morning. Its 5-year credit default swap (CDS), a measurement of its risk of defaulting on its debt, jumped to 250 basis points on Friday and traded as high as 350 basis points in early morning trade today.
The big move in the CDS on Credit Suisse is further impacting the price of its common stock. The shares closed on Friday in New York at $3.92, just pennies away from its all-time low, then dropped another 11 percent in early morning trading in Europe today.

In less than one year, 46 trillion dollars in financial wealth has been wiped out. If that isn’t a “crash”, how would you define one? Since last November, stocks and bonds have been plunging all over the globe. When there is a good day like we saw on Monday, sometimes that can fool us into thinking that everything is going to be okay. But in order to understand what is really going on we need to step back and look at the bigger picture. And when we look at the bigger picture, it becomes exceedingly clear that we are in the midst of a historic worldwide market crash. According to Bank of America, a whopping 46.1 trillion dollars in financial wealth has already been wiped out since last November…

“You have to look at who are the state actors that have the capability to do this.”
A former Pentagon advisor says the most likely culprits behind the Nord Stream pipeline blasts are the United States and Britain, and that the attack was carried out to prevent Germany from bailing on the war in Ukraine.

How many of you grew up wanting to be “G-Men”? You know, the government law enforcement officer putting away bad guys and protecting Americans? Sure, you had the stories about J. Edgar Hoover and his cache of secrets he used to blackmail his enemies. There were stories about him spying on those he thought he might need to intimidate and control one day. But that was in the past, right?
I do not lay all of the blame for the culture of intimidation, intrigue, and even spy-craft at the feet of current FBI Director Christopher Wray. We have allowed federal law enforcement to become the jack-booted thugs we see in the news today because we were afraid after Sept. 11, 2001. But for those of us who warned you that this kind of centralized and unrestricted power was dangerous, I want to say we warned you. Today, if you see someone come to your door with an FBI jacket on, realize that it no longer stands for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but for the Federal Bureau of Intimidation!

From Main Street USA to the village corners and central banks of Europe, Japan and elsewhere, the Fed’s strong USD policy is backfiring—big time. Just ask the Brits…
Having spent years creating the inflation (QE1 to unlimited QE, Repo bailouts, massive money supply expansion, and an historical wealth transfer from an inflated, Fed-driven stock market), the Fed will be cleaning up its own inflation mess on the backs of the U.S. working class and its other global “allies” while blaming the CPI inflation on Putin, Covid and climate change.

The stock market was down again today, the exchanges beginning where they left off last week. But it’s the larger trend that’s really disconcerting.
Investors don’t need to be told about the stock market collapse in recent months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down over 20% since January. The S&P 500 is down 23% since January. And the Nasdaq Composite is down 32% since its all-time high last November.
