Bezüglich der Autos: Es ist eigentlich völlig egal durch was die in Brand geraten, also überspringendes Feuer von einem Waldbrand oder "Hochenergiewaffe" - das blaue Auto hätte bei dem geringen Abstand ebenfalls Feuer fangen müssen.

Das Bild sieht für mich schwer nach Fake aus.

PS: und warum ausgerechnet blau? Im US Parteiensystem sind die Demokraten (also die Deep State Partei) blau, die Republikaner rot.
Vielleicht will man durch diesen Fake auch etwas sagen.

Davon abgesehen, gibt es Videos, indem prachtvolle Anwesen an der Küste völlig unbeschadet sind, da wurde nicht mal die Grundstücksgrenze großartig verbrannt.
Drumherum alles zerstört, aber die Hütten der „Reichen“ stehen noch.
Jetzt versucht man zu erklären, dass bei einem Haus das Dach frisch Metall gedeckt wurde und die Büsche gestutzt wurden, deswegen hat die Hütte nichts abbekommen.

Verarschen kann ich mich alleine.
Möge jeder denken was er will, das Geschmäckle bleibt.

Wir werden sehen, in welcher Form Maui wieder aufgebaut wird……

'Welcome to the BRICS 11'

'No mountains can stop the surging flow of a mighty river.' With the addition of six new members that add geostrategic clout and geographic depth to the once sputtering BRICS, the multilateral institution is now gathering the momentum needed to reset international relations.
Pepe Escobar AUG 25, 2023

In the end, History was made. Surpassing even the greatest of expectations, the BRICS nations performed a giant step for multipolarity by expanding the group to BRICS 11.
Starting on January 1, 2024, the five original BRICS members will be joined by Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
No, they won’t turn into an unpronounceable BRIICSSEEUA. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed the song remains the same, with the familiar BRICS acronym to the Global South or Global Majority or “Global Globe” multilateral organization that will shape the contours of a new system of international relations.
Here is the Johannesburg II Declaration of the 15^th BRICS summit. BRICS 11 is just the start. There’s a long line eager to join; without referring to the dozens of nations (and counting) that have already “expressed their interest”, according to the South Africans, the official list, so far, includes Algeria, Bangladesh, Bahrain, Belarus, Bolivia, Venezuela, Vietnam, Guinea, Greece, Honduras, Indonesia, Cuba, Kuwait, Morocco, Mexico, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkiye and Syria.
By next year, most of them will either become BRICS 11 partners or part of the second and third wave of fully-fledged members. The South Africans have stressed that BRICS “will not be limited to just one expansion phase.”
Russia-China leadership, in effect
The road leading to BRICS 11, during the two days of discussions in Johannesburg, was hard and bumpy, as admitted by Russian President Vladimir Putin himself. The final result turned out to be a prodigy of trans-continental inclusion. West Asia was aggregated in full force. The Arab world has three full members, as much as Africa. And Brazil strategically lobbied to incorporate troubled Argentina.
The global GDP-purchasing power parity (PPP) of BRICS 11, as it stands, is now 36 percent (already larger than the G7), and the institution now encompasses 47 percent of the world’s population.

(Photo Credit: The Cradle)

Even more than a geopolitical and geoeconomic breakthrough, BRICS 11 really breaks the bank on the energy front. By signing up Tehran, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, BRICS 11 instantly becomes an oil and gas powerhouse, controlling 39 percent of global oil exports, 45.9 percent of proven reserves and 47.6 percent of all oil produced globally, according to InfoTEK.
A direct BRICS 11-OPEC+ symbiosis is inevitable (under Russia-Saudi Arabia leadership), not to mention OPEC itself.
Translation: The collective west may soon lose its power to control global oil prices, and subsequently, the means to enforce its unilateral sanctions.
A Saudi Arabia directly aligned with Russia-China-India-Iran offers a stunning counterpoint to the US-engineered oil crisis in the early 1970s, when Riyadh started wallowing in petrodollars. That represents the next stage of the Russian-initiated and Chinese-finalized rapprochement between Riyadh and Tehran, recently sealed in Beijing.

And that’s exactly what the Russia-China strategic leadership always had in mind. This particular diplomatic masterstroke is rife with meaningful details: BRICS 11 enters the fray on the exact same day, January 1, 2024, when Russia assumes the annual presidency of BRICS.
Putin announced that the BRICS 11 summit next year will take place in Kazan, the capital city of Russia's Tatarstan, which will be yet another blow to the west's irrational, isolation-and-sanctions policies. Next January, expect further integration of the Global South/Global Majority/Global Globe, including even more radical decisions, conducted by the sanctioned-to-oblivion Russian economy - now, incidentally, the 5^th largest in the world by a PPP of over $5 trillion.

G7 in a coma
The G7, for all practical purposes, has now entered an Intensive Care Unit. The G20 may be next. The new “Global Globe” G20 may be the BRICS 11 – and later on the BRICS 20 or even BRICS 40. By then, the petrodollar will also be on life support in the ICU.
The BRICS 11 climax could not have been accomplished without a stellar performance by the Men of the Match: Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, supported by their respective teams. The Russia-China strategic partnership dominated in Johannesburg and set the major guidelines. We need to be bold and expand; we need to press for reform of the current institutional framework – from the UN Security Council to the IMF and the WTO; and we need to get rid of those institutions that are subjugated by the artificial “rules-based international order.”
No wonder Xi defined the moment, on the record, as “historic.” Putin went so far as to publicly call on all BRICS 11 to abandon the US dollar and expand trade settlements in national currencies - stressing that BRICS “oppose hegemonies of any kind” and “the exceptional status that some countries aspire to,” not to mention “a policy of continued neo-colonialism.”
Importantly, as much as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is celebrating its 10^th anniversary next month, Putin drove home the necessity to:
“…establish a permanent BRICS transport commission, which would deal not only with the North-South project [referring to the INTSC transportation corridor, whose key BRICS members are Russia, Iran and India], but also on a broader scale with the development of logistics and transport corridors, interregional and global.”
[/quote]Pay attention. That’s Russia-China in synch on connectivity corridors, and they are preparing to further link their continental transportation projects.
On the financial front, the Central Banks of the current BRICS have been instructed to seriously investigate and increase trading in local currencies.
Putin made a point of being very realistic on de-dollarization: “The issue of the single settlement currency is a complex issue, but we will move toward solving these problems one way or another.” That complemented Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva's remarks on how the BRICS has started a working group to study the viability of a reference currency.
In parallel, the BRICS' New Development Bank (NDB) has welcomed three new members: Bangladesh, Egypt, and UAE. Yet their road to prominence from now will be even steeper.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa publicly praised NDB President Dilma Rousseff’s report on the nine-year-old institution; but Dilma herself stressed again that the bank aims to reach only 30 percent of total loans in currencies bypassing the US dollar.
That’s hardly enough. Why? It's up to Sergey Glazyev, the Minister of Macroeconomics at the Eurasia Economic Commission, working under the Russia-led EAEU, to answer the key question:
“It is necessary to change the statutory documents of this bank. When it was created, I tried to explain to our financial authorities that the capital of the bank should be spread between the national currencies of founding countries. But American agents madly believed in the US dollar. As a result, this bank today is afraid of sanctions and is semi-paralyzed.”
[/quote]No mountains can stop a mighty river
So yes, the challenges ahead are immense. But the drive to succeed is contagious, perhaps best epitomized by Xi’s remarkable speech at the closing ceremony of the BRICS Business Forum, read out by Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao.
It's as if Xi had invoked a Mandarin version of the 1967 American pop classic “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” He quoted a Chinese proverb: “No mountains can stop the surging flow of a mighty river.” And he reminded his audience that the fight was both noble - and necessary:
“Whatever resistance there may be, BRICS, a positive and stable force for good, will continue to grow. We will forge stronger BRICS strategic partnership, expand the ‘BRICS Plus’ model, actively advance membership expansion, deepen solidarity and cooperation with other EMDCs [emerging market developing countries], promote global multipolarity and greater democracy in international relations, and help make the international order more just and equitable.”
[/quote]Now add this profession of faith in humanity to the way the “Global Globe” perceives Russia. Even though the Russian economy's purchasing power parity is by now ahead of the imperial European vassals that seek to crush it, the Global South’s perception of Moscow is as “one of our own.” What happened in South Africa made this even more clear, and Russia's ascendency to the BRICS presidency in four months will crystallize it.
It’s no wonder that the collective west, dazed and confused, now trembles as it feels the earth – 85 percent of it, at least - moving under its feet.

USA: Geldmengenwachstum

Unten sehen Sie eine Grafik der US-Geldmenge.

Seit 2020 haben die USA fast 80 % ALLER im Umlauf befindlichen US-Dollars gedruckt.

Um das in die richtige Perspektive zu rücken: Anfang 2020 hatten wir ~$4 Billionen im Umlauf.

Jetzt sind fast 19 Billionen Dollar im Umlauf, ein Anstieg von 375 % in 3 Jahren.

Wir zahlen den Preis für Billionen von Dollars, die scheinbar über Nacht gedruckt wurden.

Warum ist die Fed überrascht, dass die Inflation ein 40-Jahres-Hoch erreicht hat?

Die obige Grafik zeigt die Geldmenge M2.

Um jedoch zu sehen, wie wir in weniger als 3 Jahren von ~$4 Billionen auf ~$19 Billionen gekommen sind, sehen Sie sich das Diagramm unten an.

Das Wachstum der Geldmenge M1 war so massiv, dass es buchstäblich geradlinig anstieg.

2020 war wirklich ein historisches Jahr.

Inzwischen hat der durchschnittliche US-Haushalt 7.300 Dollar an Kreditkartenschulden, aber nur 5.300 Dollar an Ersparnissen.

Die Inflation hat die Grundbedürfnisse unerschwinglich gemacht.

"Kostenloses Geld" ist eindeutig nicht kostenlos.

August 25, 2023 - Former Ukraine prosecutor makes explosive claims against Joe and Hunter Biden in new interview

Das war der ukrainische Staatsanwalt, der Biden+Burisma untersuchte und vom alten Biden abgesägt wurde.
Das weiße Haus behauptet: White House says Shokin not credible, was fired for being too soft on corruption

Zitat

EXCLUSIVE: Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin told Fox News in an exclusive sit-down interview that he was fired during the Obama administration for investigating Burisma, the energy firm whose board Hunter Biden served on.

During the interview with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade – set to air Saturday at 8 p.m. – Shokin said it is his "firm personal conviction" that he was fired because then-Vice President Biden and Hunter were bribed. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ousted Shokin in 2016 – he was hired a year prior – due to Shokin's alleged corruption and pressure from the U.S. government led by Biden.

"I have said repeatedly in my previous interviews that Poroshenko fired me at the insistence of the then Vice President Biden because I was investigating Burisma," Shokin said in the interview.
[...]

Damit hat der alte Biden ja selbst öffentlich rumgeprahlt.

61 Percent of US Workers Live Paycheck to Paycheck, 21 Percent Struggle With Bills

More consumers of all income brackets reported living paycheck to paycheck in July 2023 than last year. Spending shows why. [Blockierte Grafik: https://149905391.v2.pressable…2023-02-07-1-1024x682.png]Real Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) and Disposable Personal Income (DPI) from the BEA, chart by Mish. Disposable means after taxes.

Personal Current Transfer payments (PCTR) primarily includes Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Food Stamps.

New Reality Check: Paycheck-To-Paycheck

Please consider the LendingClub New Reality Check: Paycheck-To-Paycheck report for July 2023.

Key Points

• In July 2023, 61% of U.S. consumers lived paycheck to paycheck, unchanged from June 2023, but 2 percentage points higher than July 2022.
• The number struggling to meet bill payments remains at 21% since June 2023, which represents an increase of 2 percentage points from a year ago but is consistent with the 2021 and 2020 data.
• More consumers of all income brackets reported living paycheck to paycheck in July 2023 than last year. The data indicates the persistent financial challenges and inflationary pressures a significant portion of the U.S. population faces.
• 16 million U.S. consumers claim that nonessential spending is the primary reason they are trapped in the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.
• Twenty-one percent of paycheck-to-paycheck consumers cite nonessential spending as one reason — but not the top reason — for their financial lifestyle.

Nonessential Spending

Zitat

A notable 29% of Gen Z consumers living paycheck to paycheck cite nonessential spending as one of the factors contributing to their financial distress, with 15% citing it as the top factor, marking them the most affected demographic. In contrast, only 12% of baby boomers and seniors in similar financial situations attribute nonessential spending as a factor for their struggles. The likelihood of citing nonessential spending as a reason for living paycheck to paycheck decreases with age, making younger consumers more vulnerable to its adverse effects. The study also finds that male consumers are slightly more likely than female consumers to attribute their financial strain to nonessential spending.
Shoppers who say they engage in indulgent spending are also more likely to say they made payments related to credit cards, personal loans and buy now, pay later plans in the 30 days prior to the survey. Overall, credit product usage is 11 percentage points higher for consumers who cite indulgent spending than those who do not cite such spending. Higher credit usage among indulgent spenders suggests that credit usage on nonessential categories, such as clothing or travel, is more common than on essentials, such as groceries or household supplies.

April CNBC Report Shows 58 Percent Live Paycheck to Paycheck

Also consider the CNBC|Momentive Your Money Financial Confidence Survey.

• Just 13% of Americans say they are confident in America’s banking system according to a new poll from CNBC and Momentive fielded in the weeks after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
• Seven in 10 people say they are stressed about their personal finances, and about half say their overall financial stress has increased since before the COVID-19 pandemic began.
• More than half of Americans (58%) describe themselves as living paycheck to paycheck, including a third of people with household incomes in the six figures.
• On top of all this, most Americans do not have an emergency fund to help buffer them in times of financial stress; among those who do, 40% say that have less than $10,000 saved for a time of need.

Personal Consumption Expenditures [Blockierte Grafik: https://149905391.v2.pressable…Ways-2023-07-1024x693.png]

The above chart shows nominal numbers. Inflation-adjusted, spending rose 0.6 percent in July and 0.4 percent in June as the lead chart shows. Spending is much higher than income.

Consumers Go on a Spending Spree in July, but Income Doesn’t Match

Consumers has gone on a huge spending spree in the last two months.

For more details, please see Consumers Go on a Spending Spree in July, but Income Doesn’t Match

In response, a reader commented “I think the consumer is much more robust than most of these comments suggest. Especially millennials. Their incomes are way up, they’re spending & they’re savings are up. All is well.“

What a hoot

By the way, if 61 percent live paycheck to paycheck but only 21 percent struggle, the rest are one unexpected expense or loss of income away from somewhere between struggling and outright disaster.

Der Hegomon verfällt vielleicht nicht so schnell, wie manche denken:

Zum Thema Verschduldung des Hegomons in der Welt und die Welt beim Hegomon: Sorgen die BRICS dafür, dass die USA sich nicht verschulden können?

Und eine interessante Sichtweise auf die Vorgänge in Afrika: Umsturz in Niger: Frankreich raus – USA rein?

Die steuernden Kräfte in den USA nehmen sich den südlichen Teil des Kontinents vor: Transnationale Konzerne verstärken neoliberale Offensive gegen Staaten Lateinamerikas

Die Artikel sehe ich als weitere Mosaiksteine zu der Frage, ob der Hegomon schon verfällt oder vielmehr kurz vor seinem Zenit steht.

Seinen Zenit hat er mit Sicherheit schon überschritten aber das es mit dem Sturz noch lange dauern könnte ist eine Befürchtung, die durchaus im Bereich des Möglichen liegt.

Was den Deep State und seine Hauspartei, die Demokraten angeht - für die ist der Tanz auf dem Vulkan inzwischen derartige Normalität, dass ich denen durchaus wieder Wahlbetrug zutraue oder sogar, dass Trump den Kennedy macht.
Gefahr eines Bürgerkriegs im Land ist denen scheixxegal.

Das ist wie mit notorischen Schulschwänzern. Erst immer wieder mal und je öfter man damit durchgekommen ist, umso extremer wird es.
