June 9, 2025: This month, amid the recent surge of illegal immigration at the southern border, there have been reports suggesting the presence of individuals allegedly "brainwashed by old Soviet ideology," hinting at a potential organized ideological infiltration moving through illegal immigration channels into the United States.

Although the "Soviet Union" has long since collapsed in a geopolitical sense, the briefing emphasizes that an underground organization, "disguised in Soviet communist garb," is taking advantage of the "human sea cover" provided by illegal immigration. This group appears to be systematically shifting "extreme left-wing ideologues" into the U.S. and has been seen raising flags adorned with communist symbols at several migrant camps.

Moody's Downgrades US Credit Rating Due To Government Debt Insolvency

Moody's Rating Agency just downgraded the Government of United States of America's (US) long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings to AA1 from AAA and changed the outlook to stable from negative.

The one-notch cut comes more than a year after Moody’s changed its outlook on the US rating to negative, with Moody's joining Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings in grading the world’s biggest economy below the top, triple-A position.

This one-notch downgrade on our 21-notch rating scale reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns.

“Successive US administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs. We do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration. Over the next decade, we expect larger deficits as entitlement spending rises while government revenue remains broadly flat. In turn, persistent, large fiscal deficits will drive the government's debt and interest burden higher.”

Over more than a decade, US federal debt has risen sharply due to continuous fiscal deficits. As deficits and debt have grown, and interest rates have risen, interest payments on government debt have increased markedly.

Some like to blame the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, others like to blame Trump's tariffs and MAGA voters like to blame industrial outsourcing. However, the primary and root problem always was, and continues to be, the ever-expanding US national debt which has become economically unsustainable.

On March 12, 2025, the truth behind the widely discussed “Desai Battery Incident” was finally revealed! A young Han man took a stand and single-handedly secured rights for all the employees at the factory, but his path ahead is bound to be challenging.

This young man, from the Desai Battery Factory in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, posted a video online revealing that from 8:30 p.m. on January 22, 2025, to 6:30 a.m. the next day, he worked continuously for nearly 10 hours. However, the company informed him that he had not worked the required 10 hours, erasing his attendance record and deducting three days' salary.

After this incident was exposed, the young man also revealed multiple issues within the factory, including failure to record attendance for Sunday overtime and no overtime pay for temporary workers.

According to relevant laws, overtime work should be clearly defined: any work beyond the standard working hours is considered overtime, and employees are entitled to overtime pay. Furthermore, overtime should be voluntary, and refusal to work overtime should not result in any wage deduction.

In addition, there have been rumors that Desai Battery supplies products to several Western companies, including the well-known tech giant Apple. This has raised further concerns, with people questioning Desai Battery’s management and corporate responsibility.

The incident has sparked widespread attention, not only highlighting the difficult circumstances faced by grassroots workers but also exposing the need for stronger labor rights protection mechanisms. Although the young man has achieved a partial victory, his future path remains fraught with challenges. The public and relevant authorities will continue to monitor the progress of this case.https://cj.sina.cn/article/norm_detail?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffinance.sina.com.cn%2Ftech%2Froll%2F2025-03-13%2Fdoc-inepnuep0752435.shtml&from=redirect

Widespread Unrest Hits China Over US Tariff Layoffs, UNPAID WAGES, Incoming Shortages For US

Widespread unrest has erupted across China as President Donald Trump's steep tariffs devastate the nation's export-driven economy, triggering factory closures, unpaid wages, and massive protests by workers, The Daily Caller reported.

Riots and mass protests are spreading across China as economic fallout from Trump's tariffs pushes the nation's manufacturing sector to the brink, shuttering factories and leaving millions of workers without pay. From industrial zones near Shanghai to the remote edges of Inner Mongolia, workers have taken to the streets demanding back pay and denouncing mass layoffs. The unrest comes amid a sharp drop in Chinese export orders.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Huang Deming, a garment exporter in southern China, has already laid off 30% of his staff after losing three U.S. clients. Qian Xichao, a textile factory manager, described cutthroat conditions in the domestic market. "To be frank, personally speaking, all we can do is go out and look for new opportunities," Qian told the Journal.

The labor unrest mirrors the protests in 2022 during President Xi Jinping's strict COVID-19 lockdowns. At the time, government forces suppressed demonstrations through violent crackdowns. Analysts expect similar responses now as economic instability threatens the regime's control.

Trade War Crisis Begins! Ports And Ocean Container Ships Have EMPTIED!

This image above is the Port of Seattle on Sunday, April 27, 2025, EMPTY. This is the 4th busiest port in the nation. Inbound freight from China has STOPPED. Supply-chain disruption will now begin, nationwide. The container yard at Seattle? EMPTY.

Anyone who has spent time in Seattle can tell you that these docks are always PACKED and the Puget Sound is usually overrun with waiting cargo vessels.

There are presently ZERO cargo ships docked or en-route. There are ZERO containers in the yard, and there are ZERO trucks waiting to haul cargo. Remember what I told all of you about stocking up on stuff and arbitraging it later once the shelves were emptied? Well… we're just about there. I explicitly warned you that this precise event - halt of inbound shipments - was coming over a week ago: https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/the-coming-shortages-get-what-you-need-now-theres-no-avoiding-whats-already-happened

Even if this global trade war is ended tomorrow, it will take a minimum of 30 to 55 days, but more likely at 7-9 months, to normalize supply chains and have available product again. And that's if everybody calls it off immediately. 40% of cargo vessels leaving China today (vessels that were already paid to make the journey, whether there is a reason to or not) are traveling completely empty.

Inbound Shipping container volume is down 80%

It wouldn't be the worst idea right now to go through your entire house and identify anything it is you feel you need but don't yet have, anything you have that might be on its last legs and in need of future repair or replacement, or things you feel you won't be able to procure going forward because everything is categorized as "backordered - indefinite."

Debt Slave Son Of CIA Deputy Director Killed In Ukraine Fighting For Russia

A thought-provoking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Donald Trump said about his special envoy Steve Witcoff’s three hour talks with President Putin yesterday: “Witkoff had a good meeting”, says he then told reporters aboard Air Force One: “Just landed in Rome… A good day in talks and meetings with Russia and Ukraine… They are very close to a deal, and the two sides should now meet, at very high levels, to finish it off… Most of the major points are agreed to” — all of which was joined by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov observing: “The negotiations continue, and until the end of the negotiations we cannot disclose what they are about… We are really polite people, and unlike some others, we never discuss in public what is being discussed in negotiations… Otherwise, negotiations are not serious… We consider serious proposals… We make serious proposals, and this is a process, which is not supposed to be public until the end of it”.

First Tariff Shock Set To Hit Port Of Los Angeles With Ripple Effects Across Economy

Ocean freight transit times from Shanghai to Los Angeles typically range from 14 to 40 days, with faster services—such as CMA CGM's expedited routes—delivering containers in as little as three weeks. With 145% tariffs now applied to most Chinese imports, the full economic impact will likely emerge with a lag of about a month or more as reduced import volumes and supply chain disruptions begin to take effect. Early high-frequency indicators already suggest those disruptions are imminent.

Let's review the key trade war developments since President Trump, following "Liberation Day" on April 2, announced a tsunami of tariff hikes on Chinese imports to 145% on April 11.

Adding to the conversation, FreightWaves CEO Craig Fuller posted on X that trucking activity at the LA Port, the largest container port in the Western Hemisphere, has just plunged.

“Year-over-year trucking activity out of Los Angeles down 23%. It will likely drop to 50% in the coming weeks if there isn't trade war resolution. Massive layoffs coming to the West Coast trucking sector.”

War Criminal Bill Gates To Profit From Deranged UK Government Project To Block Sunlight

The corrupt and murderous UK government is poised to approve controversial geo-engineering experiments within weeks, costing £50 million, to reflect sunlight away from Earth using chemtrail technology. Backed by Bill Gates, these trials position him to reap millions in profits as the UK pushes to lead global efforts in manipulating the planet’s climate.

The Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria) is spearheading the funding to establish the UK as a pioneer in geoengineering research, according to the Daily Mail and other sources. The initiative aims to advance techniques that alter atmospheric conditions, sparking debate over the environmental and ethical implications of such large-scale interventions.

“It's May next week and in the UK it's cold and cloudy and raining. People are paying hundreds of pounds a month to heat small homes. Yet here comes the government saying they're going to spend £50 million on blocking out The Sun… Absolutely DERANGED.”

https://x.com/ModernityNews/status/1915015256314630611

The environment is being destroyed, and not by common citizens or cow farts… it is being destroyed by demonic satanists like Bill Gates and corrupt governments who relish in bloodlust, democide and treason.

The reports outline that the experiments will focus on Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM), including Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) and Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB).

SAI involves injecting tiny reflective particles, such as sulphur dioxide, into the stratosphere to mimic the cooling effect of volcanic eruptions, while MCB uses ships to spray sea-salt particles into low-lying clouds to enhance their reflectivity.

EU Losing Soldiers & Recruits Over Ukraine Deployment Fears As Zelensky Defies Peace Talks

Departures from the Czech army have risen by 40% annually since 2022, according to the Novinky news outlet

The Czech army is losing a growing number of experienced soldiersover fears that they could be deployed to Ukraine, Defense Minister Jana Cernochova has claimed.

“For some people, the reason for leaving was the war in Ukraine,” Cernochova said, as cited by Novinky.

She added that some soldiers were unsettled by speculation about future military missions.“Because of the societal climate, when various observers have been threatening mobilization for years and soldiers will be sent to Ukraine, for some people that was the reason why they took off their uniform,” Cernochova argued.

According to Novinky, departures from the Czech army have risen by 40% annually since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. In 2024, 1,370 professional soldiers left the military. That figure was 1,200 in 2023 and 1,337 the year before. Prior to 2022, departures typically ranged from 800 to 1,000 annually.

As for Trump's plan to negotiate peace and put an end to this senseless war, Ukraine’s talks with the US ended in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They did not go well. At all.

The Deputy head of Zelensky's office, Palisa, refused to comment on the progress of the negotiations. He only said that the Ukrainian delegation would NOT meet with the Russian delegation in Riyadh.

Meanwhile, Zelensky himself is making the rounds via Social Media, and he seems to be saying all the WRONG things: https://x.com/amuse/status/1903767954191216937

This is precisely - exactly - what to say if he wants the war to CONTINUE!

The US Government And Their Bird Flu Fear Mongering Is To Blame For High Egg Prices

The US government's response to avian influenza, something that has existed forever in the bird population and is not deadly to humans with decent immune systems, is driving egg prices to record highs.

Since 2022, the US poultry industry has been heavily affected by the US government's response to outbreaks of H5N1, a virus that is only deadly to SOME birds with weaker immune systems.

Public health officials are responding to bird flu cases using similar strategies to the COVID-19 pandemic, causing massive supply chain disruptions and thus, hyperinflation:

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2025/02/28/bird-flu-deja-vu-from-the-covid-playbook.aspx

The United States’ top egg-producing states — Iowa, Ohio, and Indiana — have lost more than 62 million birds because of culling since the beginning of the State-run propaganda scare.

The price of eggs has driven the corrupt Department of Agriculture (USDA) to double down on their stupidity and increasing intervention against egg farms, leading to even higher egg prices! According to Consumer Price Index data published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the price of eggs rose by 53 percent between January 2024 and January 2025. During the same period, the average price of “fresh and frozen chicken parts” rose by just 0.8 percent. Layers of all ages are dying or being depopulated, leading to a long wait for farms to get back online.

Agricultural economists who spoke with The Epoch Times earlier in February said the main reason egg prices are so high currently is the sheer number of birds being killed, because the virus was discovered in a flock:

Ukraine Dictator Zelensky Rejects ANOTHER US Deal, Refuses To Negotiate With Russia

RELATED: >>>/pnd/397981 ; >>>/pnd/397328

Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky said during a Friday press conference that he won't recognize past US military aid as loans, after Washington sent a new draft of the minerals deal to Kiev.

"Ukraine received a new agreement project from the U.S. regarding mineral resources, which is an entirely different document from the previous framework agreement," said Zelensky, adding "Ukraine will not recognize US military aid as debt." "We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued.

The Ukrainian president also said that they are unwilling to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin "or with someone who would represent Russia," and instead said "I think that if there are people, I think there are businesses in Russia, and they have many different regions, including serious business areas. I think that we would communicate with them if they have a vision of how to end the war."

Lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a People's Deputy from Ukraine's Holos party, said he obtained a new draft of the mineral deal from the US, dated March 23 - which he says would grant the Untied States access to all existing and future mineral deposits across Ukraine, along with oil and gas throughout the country. According to Zheleznyak, the new agreement contains "not even a hint" of security guarantees - though he did note that the revised draft wasn't final, "and I hope that the Ukrainian side will demand and achieve significant changes to it."

It has become crystal clear, by now, there is nothing the US government can do anymore. Trump's administration has exhausted all efforts and incredible patience to help end this senseless war and bring about a peace deal. As long as someone like Zelensky is running Ukraine, there will not be peace, because truth be exposed, he does not want the war to end. This dictator wants everPost too long.

LA & Hollywood Hills Burns In Arson Attacks As Mayor Stares Into Stupor Abyss

It is said that people get the government they vote for. Congratulations Los Angeles voters, you did a bang-up job electing this thing as Mayor.

Sky News Reporter David Blevins happened to be on a Flight to Los Angeles when he ran into Mayor Karen Bass who was returning from her trip to Ghana while Los Angeles burned from Wildfires. He utterly skewered her with simple, direct questions, The Mayor stood completely silent, unable to answer ANY of them!

Apparently, Mayor Karen Bass is what is commonly referred to as an "NPC" - a Non-Playable-Character.

It's a term from video games which describes an aspect of the game wherein the player encounters a thing that cannot be interacted with, cannot be reasoned with, cannot think. Instead, the thing merely does whatever it's program tells it to do.

Mayor Bass apparently had no programming to answer the Reporter's questions. Whoever wrote or controls her mental program, apparently didn't provide enough processing power for Bass to answer impromptu questions or even change her facial expression. Since she had no pre-written/programmed script, she seemed unable to interact or respond.

How is it the Mayor couldn't say something like: "I've just gotten back and have to be briefed on the situation, I will speak with the Press later today." or "My heart is broken over what's happening, I feel so terrible and will be helping as much as I can now that I'm back."

Instead, the Mayor said NOTHING. Apparently, her little mind could not cope with being asked questions that she had not been programmed to respond to. In fact, her mind seemed unable to even change her facial expression!

How did Voters in Los Angeles choose this to be Mayor? Or are the Voters in Los Angeles as empty headed as their Mayor seemed to be? That would explain a lot.
