1. War on small business

   1. California has a $97.5bn budget surplus? I thought the state (CALPERS), etc., was completely broke?

2. Mobile payment system Cash App creator was murdered yesterday (seems fishy).
   FedNow is launching in July, and “obviates the need for a US central bank digital currency (CBDC).”

   1. I’d be curious to know what he was doing out and about in SF at 2.35am.

      1. Assuming that report is accurate of course…

3. This was my question. Is this a big distraction from the banking crisis?

   1. Joyce do you mean Trump or all the banks going under as the distraction? The dollar as the world reserve currency is on the way out. This will affect all the trillions of bonds out there. Yes they want it worse and they want us all in a cattle pen. So work backward from the cattle pen. What will they do to drive us all into the cattle pen………CBDCs. World is a mess, eyes open, buckle up.

4. Two young ladies creating wealth in the Australian rain forest:

   1. Great example of the importance of family wealth Fitts always talks about.

5. Did anyone else see this on ZeroHedge? Quite amusing, although of course, upsetting for anyone who’s lost their job:

   I have very little time for any media outlet which receives such a significant proportion of their funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the various Rockefeller Foundations. And clearly, they’re doing very little in the way of journalism that their listeners actually want.

   It would appear that such organizations will simply never be diverse/equitable/inclusive enough; no matter how hard they try, some group will always claim to be being discriminated against.

   It reminds me of the recent UK Guardian newspaper article in which the UN’s racism czar accused electric vehicle owners of “racism”. Not the reaction EV customers were expecting/hoping for, I’m sure.

   1. Did you listen to Tucker Carlson’s report? Ignorance elevated to extreme heights. It’s beyond tragic.

      1. Sandra,
         Yes, I did. I watch/listen to very little corporate media, but I did see that.
         NPR apparently going the same way as Disney; pumping out agenda driven content that nobody wants. Which is fine; until it leads to mass layoffs for rank and file employees of such organizations.

         1. NPR’s CEO is former head of Voice of America.
            Coming home to roost.

         2. NPR has been doing that for at least a decade, maybe longer. I’m they changed when they were able to take funding from Corporate donors. Something Obama passed.

   A complex global shock is defined as “an event with seriously disruptive consequences for a large part of the global population and leading to secondary effects in a number of sectors” … UN lists seven possible future crises that could justify activating the platform.

   Climate or environmental disasters Pandemics with secondary cascading effectsEvents where biological substances (bioweapons) are intentionally or unintentionally releasedInterrupted global flows of goods, people and financeCyber attacks and interruptions in the digital infrastructureA large-scale event in outer space that damages one or more critical systems on EarthUnpredictable risks

7. I’ve found the BIS has its own youtube channel where one can listen to their latest events and discussions. Like a mini WEF where the real stuff happens.
