Spicy one for you today kings.
Judging by some of the sentiment and comments online — there’s still a large contingency of people who are mocking the what I like to call the “realist” viewpoint. Some call it based or red pilled. Im so not concerned with the title or description so much as I am with someone’s ability to critically think and see through the constant deceit we’re misled by day in and day out. You show up to a bar or bbq or pre game and know within 10 minutes if another man (or woman) “gets it”.
I laughed last night as someone on X likened me to ZeroHedge.
I take that as a compliment. Digs like this are honestly pathetic considering where we are. It demonstrates just how “not with the program” people are. How ignorant they are to the state of the times we find ourselves in. It’s like a guy in a house that’s on fire laughing and mocking another guy outside the house who had been telling him the house is going to catch fire. It’s beyond irony.
Look around you brother. Things are not in good shape. Nearly every “conspiracy” has come true in the last 5 years. It’s an ongoing cycle of validation for the “extremists”.
Am I saying I know everything? Of course not.
Does reality the last 20 years skew towards the outlandish, sinister, and far fetched?
The antithesis of normie widely accepted “truths”?
Yeah it does and we have an abundance of proof that continues to come out on that convenient rolling basis, you know with a 2 year lag or so once tempers have flared down and the media knows we can “handle it”.
Here’s the thing, whatever you want to call me and others like me online and in the markets/politics/geopolitics space — doomer, alarmist, conspiracy theorist, etc. — the fact is, we’ve already been vindicated over and over and over again. We’re actually the normal ones that have refused to be numbed or sedated by a culture of apathy and indifference. I’ve mentioned before, it’s become “cool” to downplay the seriousness of the times we live in.
It’s the snarky pencil necked 140 pound office dork who thinks “nothing ever happens” while failing to realize things are happening everyday that are driving us closer and closer to true calamity. He ignorantly assumes the systems he exists in, bolstered by modern technology, politeness, and comforts, will never break down. This attitude of course is driven primarily by insecurity and fear.
These critics know that if things truly take a turn for the worse, they are mince meat.
I’m not special, people like me aren’t special, we just choose to confront and talk about uncomfortable truths instead of rolling over because it’s unpopular or inconvenient.
As a 31 year old man with a family of course I am focused on financial prosperity and success, but in the last several years it’s become apparent there are more serious topics right in front of my face that I need to take into consideration (and that I feel everyone should be aware of).
Questioning these narratives and looking for the truth doesn’t make that content sensationalist or extreme — the par for the course now is to just roll over and accept everything at face value and I simply will not do that. 26,000 of you apparently agree and that’s encouraging to see.
I experienced this first hand when I started covering the 2020 election and Ukraine War, and Covid pandemic on the Arbitrage Andy Instagram. People said I “changed”. Aside from being 7 years older, my understanding of some of the forces impacting my family, country, and society are much more clear.
I don’t know how anyone could be the same after the last 5-7 years. Life completely changed. I lived through the Covid 19 pandemic in New York City — a place where I once happily bar hopped, socialized, and worked in degraded substantially. Crime soared, companies doubled down on vax mandates and DEI, and people seemed more unhappy. Most people have conveniently memory holed the disgusting propaganda, lies, and deceit we were subject to during Covid because Ukraine came along.
Rifts were created in families and friend groups, we were lied to endlessly by the media and misled on a topic that impacted our literal health. I was forced to job hop in order to avoid an experimental shot. I watched the militant arm of the left burn and riot across the country with impunity, terrorizing communities all in the name of a verified criminal scumbag. I’ve watched the government centralize more power, watched quality of life decrease, costs increase, and dividing language used by the incumbent regime.
The state of things right now is a testament to the failed policies and intentional subversion of Western Countries and the US.
Today we’re going to cover a few topics that everyone should be informed on.
The state of the US Presidential Race — why I think the curveballs are far from over, and what you can likely expect between now and November. Our descent into Communism
The growing number of “probing attacks” on US military personel and installations across the US
The powder keg that is Chicago right now ahead of the DNC
Why Americans and others in the West need to grasp the severity of the road we are traveling down
I’ve watched grave abuses of power allow for the targeting of political dissidents and watched our corrupted officials waste more and more of our countries money on endless wars — they’ve also printed it frivolously at the detriment of all of us. I’ve watched fringe left social ideology target children, schools, and families.
I have watched our leaders open our Southern Border allowing millions and millions of people into the country with literally zero vetting. Time and time again our leaders have shown they do not care about the prosperity or the well being of their citizens, they care only about profit, power, and unchecked ability to influence.
You get to consciously choose which reality you opt into — you can continue to soothe yourself with the ongoing lies and deceit of the incumbent establishment party in DC or you can choose to call things like they are and realize the state of things for what they are — which is perilous for all of us, our families, friends, and communities.
Let’s start with the state of what’s at play in November.
Buckle up.
