This article from @zerohedge lays it out quite nicely: the conspiracy theorists were right about everything…now what?
The corruption and massive spending on progressive policies that most Americans don’t support was one thing - but when the abject criminality begins to be exposed - and we all know that there is at least some of that - will Americans be able to cope with what may be revealed?
zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c…
Macro takeaways/lessons from the week:
-7-in-10 Americans are supportive of Trump and Elon laying the fraud, waste, and abuse bare, and the highest number of Americans in history now indicate they believe the country is on the “right track.” Fighting back against that level of public support may not be a wise political strategy.
-One of Trump’s gifts is finding things that have massive popular support (80/20) but have become “sacred cows” that nobody is allowed to touch, despite their lack of popular support. He identifies them, publicly supports them, and those who are against these popular moves have to defend them publicly. At some point it becomes blatantly obvious that some don’t want the country fixed.
-The EU has neither the military nor the money to continue the UKR war that they’ve constantly pushed to escalate. They’ve been backed into a corner and forced to show their cards - what happens next?
White pill(s) for the week:
The past several months, and the past 30 days especially, have been filled with “doomers” saying that there was no chance of Trump’s cabinet nominees being confirmed in the senate.
Kash being sworn in today shows that something has changed. I don’t know what, but it seems like the world is in the process of changing for the better. It will be a long process, but at least the baby steps are going in the right direction.

-Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has publicly mulled the idea of dropping Florida state property taxes. I’m putting this here rather than in the Domestic section because of the likely downstream effects of these types of savings for homeowners:
armstrongeconomics.com/markets-by-sec…
-Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit was the victim of what is being called the largest crypto hack ever, with some numbers putting it at $1.7 billion taken.
-Friday was a pretty bad day across the US markets, and it wasn’t a great week, either:
--S&P 500: down 1.71% on the day, down 1.67% for the week
--Dow 30: down 1.69% on the day, down 2.87% for the week
--Nasdaq: down 2.20% on the day, down 2.11% for the week
--Russell 2000: down 2.94% on the day, down 3.80% for the week
-Crude oil is still lower, at $70.25 as of this writing (Friday evening)
-Gold is still marching higher, at $2,931 as of this writing
European markets were relatively flat
-Asian markets had a pretty good day on Friday, largely in the green
-Bond rates seem to be coming down, which is a good thing for the average American:
--13-week: 4.1970
--5-year: 4.2580
--10-year: 4.42
--30-year: 4.669
-Currencies are largely staying within a tight range save for 2 important ones:
--USD/JPY is below the 150 mark, now at $149.262
--EUR/USD is at 1.0456
-BTC has had a roller coaster day after the Bybit hack; it moved up to around $100k, now back down to $96,218.93
Business:
-Apple has complied with the UK’s cloud anti-secrecy order, pulling the encryption from the cloud accounts of its customers there.
-It has become public that the DOJ is investigating United Healthcare (UHC) for its Medicare billing practices, and the firm’s share price has not reacted well to the news:
finance.yahoo.com/news/unitedhea…
-Hooters has apparently filed for bankruptcy.
-EV automaker Nikola has filed for bankruptcy and plans to sell all of its assets.
Health:
-The conspiracy theorists were right again. A new preliminary study out of Yale seems to indicate that the Coof vaccines caused t-cell exhaustion and prolonged spike protein production in some recipients.
--If you’re not tracking, that means the people who said it was wrecking immune systems were correct. T-cell exhaustion is what happens with AIDS.
--This thread from @AlexBerenson goes through the study findings:
x.com/AlexBerenson/s…
-For another check mark on the conspiracy theorists’ scoreboard, Dr. Paul Offitt admitted in an interview now that the Biden administration knew in 2021 that natural immunity would prevent against serious disease but they mandated the shots anyway:
--Clip shared by @TheChiefNerd :
x.com/TheChiefNerd/s…
Geopolitics:
-Many people think that those of us who talk about EU nations being on the road to 1984-style tyranny are being hyperbolic or doing so for political means.
--As usual, here’s another episode of “don’t take my word for it,” brought to you by a crew from CBS 60 Minutes that sat down with German prosecutors to discuss their prosecutions of “hate speech” and even going on a raid of someone who posted wrongthink online:
cbsnews.com/news/policing-…
-The UK’s Labour Party, which is in the midst of its own economic crisis and budget austerity measures, is nonetheless planning to increase its spending on illegal immigrants by 30% or £47mm per year (to £61mm/year):
armstrongeconomics.com/international-…
--Reminder: Polling showed that most Britons who voted for Brexit did so to stop EU-style unmitigated immigration into the UK. And yet the politicians decided to ramp it up exponentially, because democracy.
Crazy Conspiracy-y:
I’ve been repeating this lately, because it’s important to grasp: apokalypsis may not be pretty, and what it reveals may shatter some of your firmly held beliefs about the world. Kash Patel was sworn in at FBI today, and Pam Bondi said in an interview with Fox today that the Epstein, JFK, and RFK files are on her desk for approval and release, on the directive of President Trump, right now.

The Shitshow Macro Weekly Wrapup Podcast for Friday, February 21, 2025 is out:
Domestic:
-Many members of the US media seem like they either never watched Schoolhouse Rock as kids, don’t understand the basics of civics, or they know better and are purposely obtuse in their attempts to cause division & anger along political lines by misreporting the way that things are supposed to work.
--Take 2 minutes out of your day to watch Stephen Miller give a civics lesson to the media on the Presidential authority vested in the office by the Constitution and as the only official in the entire government in whose votes come from the entire US population:
--From @TimRunsHisMouth :
x.com/TimRunsHisMout…
-At a meeting with the 50 state Governors today, President Trump urged them to move their voting systems to paper ballots, which is only 8% of the cost of the machines (that are not auditable, take longer to count for some reason, are more costly, and are susceptible to hacking):
--From @BehizyTweets :
x.com/BehizyTweets/s…
--For those who don’t know, requiring voter ID has 77% nationwide support
-President Trump signed a memorandum today (Friday) directing the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS) to restrict China’s investment in strategic areas:
finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-cfi…
-Judge Nichols has (today) denied the restraining order that was seeking to prevent the Trump administration from pausing USAID grants & funding flows to look for fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption.
--For a non-lawyer and English translation of the order, here’s a thread from @ProfMJCleveland who has been tracking this filing:
x.com/ProfMJClevelan…
-Mitch McConnell announced this week that he will not seek re-election in 2026.
-The Senate voted to confirm Kash Patel yesterday (Thursday), and he was officially sworn in today (Friday).
Congressman Tim Burchett has stated that he thinks DOGE will find a lot of foreign aid payments finding their way back to members of Congress.
--The article from @TheLastRefuge2 below has some other interesting insights about Social Security anomalies that were discovered this week.
-Both Elon and Trump spoke publicly about social security payments going to millions of people who were over 100 years old (some much older).
--The pushback focused on an archaic coding language possibly misinterpreting their ages - but that wasn’t the biggest revelation.
--The big one is that there are somewhere around 60mm more people listed in the Social Security database than there are American citizens.
theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/02/1…
--Here’s another take on the Social Security revelations from Real Clear Investigations:
realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2022/…
-Similarly, a lot of revelations have been made this week about Climate Change funds that were spent in the waning days of the Biden administration.
--James O’ Keefe captured undercover video of an EPA executive claiming they were “throwing gold bars off the Titanic” before Biden left office, and we’re only starting to get some tracking of where funds went.
--It’s being reported by @FreeBeacon that Jahi Wise was tasked with directing Biden’s $27 billion in climate grant funding for the EPA, allocated $5 billion of that to his former employer, and then went back to work where he had directed the funds after Biden left office:
freebeacon.com/energy/activis…
--A non-profit that is being said to be linked to Stacy Abrams was sent $2 billion despite only having $100 in its account, no prior performance or history, and seemingly having been created for the sole purpose of receiving these funds:
--From Americans for Public Trust ( @apublictrust ):
x.com/apublictrust/s…
-Yet another USAID revelation that came out this week was that US taxpayers have been funding the far left network that installed “Soros DAs” and prosecutors in US cities that have gone lenient on crime:

Great thread on how the thing in front of you isn't always "the thing" at hand (re: Fed layoffs and "what did you accomplish" email - in reality, a minimum of accountability the public feels Feds have been lacking):
24.02.202516:37
23.02.202516:41
22.02.202516:44
--Staying on this thread, I’ve had this article from The Daily Wire bookmarked since Q4 last year that dug into how George Soros (or his network) controls US prosecutors:
dailywire.com/news/documents…
--Along the same lines, media and BlueAnon have repeated the “NOBODY VOTED FOR ELON!” mantra ad nauseum since the election.
--They never want to talk about Alex Soros and his “trophy” pictures with every high-level progressive politician in the US and Europe, though. Matt Palumbo digs into that below:
newsbusters.org/blogs/business…
-If you have a hard time believing or digesting all of the USAID revelations that have come out in the past 30 days, the article and interview linked below are from an interview with the former USAID Chief Operating Officer and Chief Assistant to the Acting Deputy Administrator outlining that yes, it really was that bad:
dailysignal.com/2025/02/20/for…
War/Military:
-It looks like President Trump has fired the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General CQ Brown
-The US State Department has officially listed 8 cartel, gang, and transnational terrorist groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).
--This seems like a “gimmie” to many civilians, but the official designation opens up specific authorities, like Title 10 (military) and Title 50 (covert action).
--The groups are:
--Tren de Aragua
--MS-13
--Sinaloa Cartel
--Jalisco New Generation Cartel
--United Cartels
--Northeast Cartel
--Gulf Cartel
--Michoacan Family
-RUS has retaken ⅔ of the Kursk territory from UKR:
theepochtimes.com/world/russia-h…
-On the other side of the coin, UKR troops successfully repelled an attempted RUS motorcycle attack in the Donetsk region:
--Yes, you read that correctly. They were launching a Mad Max-style attack on motorcycles:
sofx.com/footage-shows-…
-The opening talks to see if there is a desire to find an amicable peace have begun, with RUS and the US starting with allowing each other to staff their embassies in each others nations again:
theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/02/1…
-While these are not peace talks, and much of what is going on has been grievously misreported in various aspects of the media, Catherine Herridge sat down for an interview with Marco Rubio who outlined the current Statecraft strategies of the US:
x.com/C__Herridge/st…
-As mentioned by Rubio in the interview above, Zelensky was not honest about his talks with them and then his version of it that he told to the media:
theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/02/1…
--Note: reports started coming out as I was writing that Zelensky did agree to sign a mineral rights deal - but I need to dig into that a little more deeply.
-And of course, the EU nations that have been instigating this war to continue to escalate now say they won’t send troops without US troop involvement:
theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/02/1…
-The nation of Ecuador has publicly announced it will seek foreign SOF assistance in its battle against cartels and organized crime within the nation:
sofx.com/ecuador-seeks-…
-Three empty busses filled with explosives were detonated near Tel Aviv (Israel) on Thursday, but there
were no injuries or other casualties:
sofx.com/three-buses-de…
-Turkey is set to take control of a base in Eastern Chad (Africa) after France’s withdrawal:
sofx.com/turkey-to-take…
-The Department of Veterans Affairs have granted/extended additional GI Bill benefits to veterans with multiple service periods (in which one may qualify for Montgomery and another for post-9/11):
sofx.com/additional-gi-…
Markets/economics:
-If you are a macro investor or someone interested in understanding “the big picture,” Tucker Carlson recently released an interview with one of the greats, Ray Dalio, and recorded (but has not yet released) another with Luke Gromen (who is in “The List” at the end of each of these Monday & Friday wrap ups).
--Here’s the interview with Dalio:
