All of these cycle studies have produced noteworthy results across multiple time periods, otherwise they would have been lost to the dust bin. But, none of these cycle studies is perfect on its own. What is of interest, is that many if not all of these cycle studies are pointing to a point in time between now and early 2026 whereby the current cycle (a bull market cycle) is slated to end, and a new cycle (a bear market cycle) is slated to begin.

Howe’s work concludes that we are past the midpoint of a fourth turning and poised to enter the crisis period. The Kondratiev wave appears to be peaking and getting ready to rollover into its Winter season. Armstrong’s Economic Confidence Model is scheduled to peak at its downcycle midpoint in June 2026 and begin a yearlong plunge into mid-2027. The Benner cycle is also poised to top in 2026 before beginning a six year decline into 2032. According to Prechter, the DJIA may have already topped at supercycle degree of trend. If so, the correction that follows will also occur at supercycle degree of trend — a corrective force last witness during the great depression era. Gann’s Financial Time Table calls for a major panic and crash by 2026 followed by an extreme low in 2028. The Full Cold Supermoon on December 4th coincided with the end of a 18.6-year lunar declination cycle. Since the S&P more than quadrupled over the past 18.6-years, we think its fair to say that this cycle most likely marks the end of a long advance. The Bradly Model points down into year-end, while the 40-week cycle appears to have topped slightly ahead of schedule.

Indeed, the weight of the evidence from these cycle studies collectively suggest that there’s a storm coming, the magnitude of which has the potential to reach epic proportions.

And the Kolyma was the greatest and most famous island, the
pole of ferocity of that amazing country of Gulag which, though
scattered in an Archipelago geographically, was, in the psycho-
logical sense, fused into a continent — an almost invisible, almost
imperceptible country inhabited by the zek people.

And this Archipelago crisscrossed and patterned that other
country within which it was located, like a gigantic patchwork,
cutting into its cities, hovering over its streets. Yet there were
many who did not even guess at its presence and many, many
others who had heard something vague. And only those who had
been there knew the whole truth.

3 MILLION Epstein Pages Released — I Can't Unsee What I Found

Exposing the Machine Behind the Monster

Over three million pages. Names, dates, patterns, connections that go far deeper and far higher than most people are ready to accept. That’s what just landed in the Epstein files. And what’s buried inside them is going to shake you.

But before I get into the specifics, I want to do something different. I want to pull way back. I mean way, way back—a hundred-thousand-foot view. Because what these documents reveal is not an isolated scandal. It’s not about one man. It’s not about one island. What these files reveal is a symptom. A glimpse. A tiny crack in the surface of something much, much bigger.

And if you don’t understand the bigger picture first, the details won’t make sense.

Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t an anomaly. He wasn’t some rogue predator who just happened to befriend the most powerful people on the planet. He was a tool—a cog in a very specific machine. The island, the planes, the parties, the cameras—all of it was designed to do one thing: compromise, capture, control. And the machine that built him has been running far longer than any of us have been alive.

did you have employees of state oversight agencies who were, according to their accounting, bullied and punished by Walz for even daring to suggest tha?

AI Overview

Yes, numerous, primarily anonymous, whistleblowers claiming to be employees of Minnesota state oversight agencies (specifically the Department of Human Services) have alleged in public statements, social media posts, and letters to Congress that they were bullied, threatened, or punished by Governor Tim Walz's administration for attempting to report massive fraud.

Here are the key details regarding these allegations:

Retaliation Allegations: Whistleblowers have stated that when they raised concerns about fraud, their warnings were "ignored, dismissed, or met with retaliation," including threats of being fired, blacklisting, and involuntary transfers to damage their careers.

The "480" Group: An anonymous X (formerly Twitter) account purporting to represent around 480 Minnesota Department of Human Services employees has consistently accused the Walz administration of allowing over $1 billion in fraud, ignoring early warnings, and retaliating against staff.

Targeted Repression: Reports indicate that whistleblowers claimed to be threatened with firing for cause—which would block them from receiving unemployment benefits—if they continued to raise concerns.

Congressional Investigation: The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating these claims, with documents detailing that some whistleblowers felt forced to, or were discouraged from, reporting the fraud, with some reports being "suppressed" by the administration.

Administration Response: While Republican lawmakers have highlighted these whistleblower stories, officials in the Walz administration, including the Minnesota Management and Budget Commissioner, have stated they were only aware of one instance where whistleblower concerns were officially brought to their attention and have indicated a desire to address any retaliatory actions.

These accusations are part of a larger, highly partisan investigation into the "Feeding Our Future" and other fraud cases in Minnesota, where federal authorities have charged dozens of individuals with stealing hundreds of millions in public funds.

Should I leave my daughter an inheritance if she didn't want me in her life?

My husband and I have two children who canceled us… and 3 who didn’t and live close. The two that want nothing to do with us live in California and AZ. It hurt when the California child canceled us. He was a wonderful young man, very athletic, very intelligent, and he and my husband were very close, like father/son should be. His wife, however, didn’t like us at all. So our Son cut contact, blocked us on all means of communication. That was 8 years ago now.

The Three who love us kayak every weekend, go on trips together (we don’t pay for everything), and generally respect and like us. They will be receiving the entirety of our estate, and the two who went no contact will get nothing. It’s been 8 years for one and over 12 years for the other. We have no idea who they are now, what they are doing, or anything about them. We won't be leaving them a single thing, and it’s written in our wills that they are not to be contacted at the time of our deaths.

Now, President Børge Brende, ladies and gentlemen, the calm and peace up here on the magic mountain in Davos is at stark contrast to a world whose old order is unravelling at breathtaking pace.

At the Ivy League colleges Brown and Harvard, more than 20 per cent of undergrads are registered as disabled. Contrast these numbers with America’s community colleges, where only 3 to 4 per cent of students receive disability accommodations. Bizarrely, the schools that boast the most academically successful students are the ones with the largest number who claim disabilities — disabilities that you’d think would deter academic success.

The truth is, the system is there to be gamed, and most students feel that if you’re not gaming it, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Scrutinizes Vast Sum of COVID-19 Funding for Planned Parenthood
Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | January 22, 2026

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—President Donald Trump’s Small Business Administration is reviewing whether Planned Parenthood affiliates illegally received $88 million in loans during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Daily Signal can first report.

“At the height of the pandemic, affiliates of Planned Parenthood took $88 million in taxpayer dollars to fund their abortion-on-demand agenda—and the Biden administration made sure they got nearly every cent forgiven, even after the first Trump administration protested,” SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said.

“Six years later, the Trump SBA holds the same conviction: Planned Parenthood Federation of America was never eligible to receive a dime in pandemic-era relief from taxpayers.”

The 7-Stage Collapse Pattern: Spain, Britain, USSR... USA Is At Stage 5

3,208,993 views Oct 23, 2025

For 500 years, a pattern has destroyed every global superpower that followed it. Spain collapsed in the 1600s. Britain lost its empire by 1954. The Soviet Union disintegrated in 900 days. Three empires. Three complete collapses. All following the exact same seven-stage sequence. And the United States has already completed five of those seven stages.

This documentary traces the collapse pattern across three superpowers and five centuries—from Spain's silver wealth that bankrupted the richest empire on Earth, to Britain's pound that lost reserve currency status within decades of two world wars, to the Soviet Union that went from superpower to non-existent in less than three years. Each believed they were exceptional. Each believed the pattern wouldn't apply to them. Each followed the sequence to total collapse anyway.

The seven-stage pattern is identical across all three empires: Stage 1 - Military Overextension, Stage 2 - Currency Debasement, Stage 3 - Debt Spiral, Stage 4 - Loss of Productive Capacity, Stage 5 - Social Decay, Stage 6 - Loss of Reserve Currency Status, Stage 7 - Collapse. Spain completed all seven stages between 1590 and 1670. Britain completed them between 1914 and 1954. The Soviet Union completed them between 1945 and 1991. And the United States is currently at Stage 5, with clear warning signs of Stage 6 emerging.

Why Watch This

This isn't speculation about some uncertain future. This is pattern recognition across 500 years of documented history. Three empires followed seven stages. All three collapsed completely. The United States has completed five stages and is showing early signs of stage six. The math is unsustainable—$36 trillion debt growing by $2 trillion annually, interest payments exceeding $1 trillion, no political will to address it. The pattern says Stage 6 and 7 are inevitable. The only question is timing. History doesn't predict the exact date, but it shows the sequence with absolute certainty. Understanding where we are in that sequence determines whether you prepare or get blindsided.

‘Some form of crisis is almost inevitable’: The $38 trillion national debt will soon be growing faster than the U.S. economy itself, watchdog warns

The United States national debt has reached a precarious milestone, hitting 100% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and placing the nation on a trajectory that could trigger six distinct types of fiscal crises, according to an ominous new warning issued Thursday by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB).

With the national debt now effectively equal to the size of the entire U.S. economy, the nonpartisan watchdog’s latest report, “What Would a Fiscal Crisis Look Like?” outlined a dangerous future ahead. “If the national debt continues to grow faster than the economy,” the report said, “the country could ultimately experience a financial crisis, an inflation crisis, an austerity crisis, a currency crisis, a default crisis, a gradual crisis, or some combination of crises. Any of these would cause massive disruption and substantially reduce living standards for Americans and people across the world.”
