Airbnb listing revenue COLLAPSES, driving fears of housing market crash

July 04, 2023 -

While in years past both Airbnb and VRBO would be seeing many additional stays across the United States this time of year, the opposite is happening now. Homeowners who rent out rooms and spaces are seeing dwindling interest, which is driving down prices for stays.

In popular destination cities like Phoenix, Ariz., and Austin, Tex., revenues per listing have dropped by nearly 50 percent, according to the most recent data from AllTheRooms, which compared Airbnb revenues ...

GREEDFLATION: Predatory corporations still raising prices for bigger revenue despite falling input costs

June 15, 2023 - A recent report from consumer-advocacy group Accountable.US revealed that S&P 500 food and consumer-goods giants are still raising prices even as input costs are falling.

Dubbing the measures "greedflation" in place of inflation, Accountable.US said these companies still attach their products with hefty price tags to protect what a new report calls their "cushioned corporate profits," and doing so also enabled them to boost margins through the current inflationary period.

CDC to start pushing ANNUAL mRNA COVID “vaccine” injections to accelerate depopulation

August 01, 2023 -

This is the “science” of vaccination on full display. These jabs are going to be required every year because they NEVER stopped the transmission of a virus; they do NOT provide adequate immunization; and they do NOT prevent infection or severe disease. Just like the flu shot, the COVID jab will become an annual boon for vaccine companies looking to profit from the fear, ignorance, and suffering that has overtaken the population.

The destruction of scientific integrity ...

Annual inflation surged 3.7% in August thanks to the jump in gas prices

September 14, 2023 -

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August showed that prices were 3.7 percent higher year-over-year, slightly higher than the 3.2 percent reading in July and also higher than what economists predicted inflation would be for the month.

NIH begins testing of universal mRNA flu “vaccines” for annual gene-editing ritual

May 18, 2023 -

To replace the lost profits of covid injections, which are no longer in vogue, the corporate drug machine hopes a new annual mRNA flu shot ritual will get the job done, providing billions of dollars in new and steady profits well into the foreseeable future.

Trial patients are already enrolling to receive the experimental jabs, according to the NIH. The drugs are based on the mRNA technology used in both Pfizer and Moderna's covid shots.

Pentagon fails annual audit for sixth straight year, with TRILLIONS in assets still missing

November 20, 2023 -

The audit, a colossal task considering the department's $3.8 trillion in assets and $4 trillion in liabilities, resulted in a "disclaimer of opinion," signifying a lack of sufficient financial data for auditors to form an opinion. The Pentagon has been unable to provide a comprehensive audit, maintaining its status as the only U.S. government agency with such a record.

The result did not come as a surprise as the DOD's assets are vast and decentralized covering 50 states ...

Ex-intel officer: Pentagon commits multitrillion-dollar fraud, fails its sixth annual audit in a row

December 15, 2023 -

Out of the 29 sub-audits of the DoD's various services, only seven passed this year, which showed no improvement over the last year. These audits only began taking place in 2017, which means that the Pentagon has never successfully passed one. According to the Government Accountability Office, "auditors were unable to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion."

This year's "failure" made some headlines, was commented upon briefly ...
