The AI Bubble Is Being Funded With Fake Money | ZFS 97

Morocco, Israel and the Strait Nobody Is Watching | ZFS 96

The Rothschilds Are Mentioned 12,000 Times in the Epstein Files | ZFS 94
Send us Fan MailWe are still talking about Epstein because it still is not resolved.

The Rothschild name appears 12,056 time
The Epstein Cover Up Is Falling Apart | ZFS 93

Headlines good? Reality bad? | ZFS 91
Send us Fan MailThe White House posted a graph this week saying prices are falling. I need to be very clear about something. Prices are not falling. Inflation came in at 3.5% for June which means everything you buy is 3.5% more expensive than it was this time last year. That is not deflation. That is not prices coming down. That is propaganda posted at a convenient moment before the war started ba
What Made Housing so EXPENSIVE? | ZFS 90
Send us Fan MailBefore Covid I got sandwich makers into homes. Deli workers. Campus security guards. Single airmen fresh out of basic training.

I think that number is a lie and I have the receipts.I spent time building out what I am calling the Real Inflation Tracker. I took real items that real 25 to 34 year olds buy every single week and I looked at what they cost in 2010 versus what they cost today. A McDonald's meal that was $5.29 in 2010 is now $16.79

Iran or Epstein? | ZFS 85
Send us Fan MailI want you to sit with this question for a second. Why does none of this make logical sense?We give Israel billions. We get nothing back. We go to war on their behalf.

We threaten Iranian peace negotiators telling them you won't even make it back to your country. An
