Red Alert from Grandma

A few days ago, the Chinese Government seized all savings accounts in the country, by "redefining" the life savings of hundreds of millions of Chinese people as "investment products" belonging to the government.

This is what happens when the government rules you, instead of you ruling the government.

Then, the Vatican announced that it was ending all foreign investments and returning the assets to the Vatican Bank.

What do they know (or suspect) that you don't know?

They know that the present Bull Market is a Pit Bull Market instead.

The Vermin are "running up" the stock markets of the world by "self-investing".

In other words, the corporations listed on the various exchanges, and the hedge funds, and even more importantly, all the pension and investments slush funds, are propping up the stock market by buying their own stocks, thus generating what appears to be demand for their shares and ever- increasing stock prices. This apparent profit-making opportunity lures naive and unwary investors into the market.

At a certain pre-arranged moment, the big banks and other major players will pull the plug and exit stage left, leaving the corporation shareholders and smaller investors and insurance companies to pick up the gargantuan losses.
Then, they, the ones that planned the disaster with malice aforethought, will come back in and buy up everything for nothing.

This is what they did in 1929, so it's not exactly rocket science to see what they are doing again.

I wish it weren't so, but.... there is no other reason in this world that already grossly overvalued stocks would be selling like hot cakes.

My guess is that the Chinese Government is bulking up its cash assets position to be ready to swoop in and buy everything in sight for pennies on the dollar after the crash. And the Vatican is simply taking its bat and ball and going home to sit out the extra innings.

If I had any stock market investments I would be pulling out now, taking my chits and going home just like the Vatican. And if I had a long term investment strategy, I would be paying off debts and bulking up my cash position with both gold and credit, just like China.

So what can you do? If you are in the stock market --- get out. If you are a producer and have firm futures contracts you have to stay in and pray. And if you are like me, shaking your head, sit back and watch the show.

This is only possible because people don't pay attention to history, don't know about institutional investors, and don't realize that Central Banks were created to manipulate commodities --- including world currencies, which are commodities, too.

My guess for the Pull the Plug date is toward the end of the harvest cycle, so that all those food commodity futures contracts are exercised BEFORE the market goes kafluey. There's a reason the 1929 Crash came in late October.

The Monsters pay off the Farmers in grossly inflated dollars and get to keep what's important -- the actual food commodities, which will predictably skyrocket in price.

You may have been wondering about the USDA's policy of paying farmers not to produce crops and even actively going out and demanding after the fact that the farmers destroy their crops already planted (???) --- well, wonder no more.

Food shortages mean guaranteed profits for the Rats. Thanks to this, food will be scarce and in many places, it will simply disappear into black markets. You will have to wear a trench coat and talk to Julio if you want to buy anything.

Water shortages planned for the Western United States means the same thing.

I think we should just cut to the chase and start paying visits to the CEO's of all the banks and corporations right now, since the Secretary of the Army, Christopher Miller, isn't doing his job and preventing this from happening.
What can we "little people" do to defend ourselves from this hideous evil on high?

You can't go wrong stashing cartons of booze and cigarettes, though those can be seized by the government corporations using their "regulatory powers" over alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.

But there are a surprising number of other things that become big ticket items in a crash. BIC lighters, sacks of charcoal, salt, spices, coffee, sterno, toothpaste, baking soda, soap, vinegar, MREs.,ammo, tools, tampons, packets of yeast, dry milk, all the little things of life that vanish in a crisis and which "your" government has done nothing to stockpile for you.

In fact, your actual "government" --- which has been a foreign military junta in place since 1860, has done nothing but make it worse, deliberately, according to plan --- to kill off as many Preferential Creditors as possible.
First, they deployed their "Uniformed Officers" ---- all the doctors and nurses and dentists who have been illegally conscripted under Title 37 of the Federal Code --- and yes, these medical professionals have been used to kill millions of innocent, trusting people who came to their hospitals for help, bought their "patent medicines", and who took their vaccinations in good faith.

Now, they are going to crash the stock market and profit from all the death, destruction and chaos that entails.

Maybe it's our own fault. That's all we've trained these men to do --- create death and destruction in order to make money off of it, both going and coming. I suppose it's inevitable that they'd come back around full circle and trash us, too.

They are going to stand there in their uniforms dripping with medals, turn both palms upward to the sky, pretend that they, the U.S. Military, had nothing to do with this debacle (even though they have been in charge of it since 1863) and they are here to help....

Help themselves, that is.

While we are the topic of U.S. Military betrayals and lies, here's another good one. Australia just announced that the Australian Defense Force will be merging with and will be under the command of the U.S. Military. They are just getting around to announcing what has been self-evident since 1902, if you look at the money going out of our pockets to pay the Australian Military to do the horrific things that have been done to the people of Australia. Expect the rest of the former Commonwealth and occupied nations of Europe and Japan to follow.

Why? Because we've been paying all their Defense Forces, too. For many decades. Which means that the U.S. Military has been de facto occupying all those countries, too.

And why are they creating this genocide in Australia? Because they already sold the mining resources and land mass to China. They have to make room for the new tenants.

LOL. And you wonder why there is any threat of attacks and reprisals and bad feelings overall? You are falling for all the Hope Porn about White Hats and Alliances?

No, no, no, children, the current events tell a far different tale, a tale in which the guilty U.S. Military is attempting to avoid detection of its role and paper over its responsibility for 95% of all the bad things that have happened in the past 161 years. The only truthful statement coming out of their mouths is that, yes, everything is under the control of the U.S. Military.
As you can see, that's not exactly good news.

Increasingly, the storefront of politicians is wearing thin and we see our own dear Generals and Admirals --- Americans all working for the Queen, not us, and being paid with our money by SERCO, INC., a British Quartermaster ---- doing all this outrageous crap to tear the guts out of Australia and America and everywhere else, under color of law and authority that was never granted to them.

And their excuse? Ah, they are teaching us a lesson, rubbing our noses in it, so that these same mistakes can never be made again? Well, the actual mistake was when their corporation's "President" Abraham Lincoln was elected under conditions of deceit, and it's all been downhill since then.
Prepare for impact. Expect no help from the military and pray for no further harm. Now that their role as the puppet master and enforcer is fully exposed, it's harder for them to pull their crap, but who knows? Maybe they will just come out of the closet, fangs bared, and admit that they -- and the Brits, of course --- have been at the bottom of every dog pile since 1860.

Batten the hatches, kids, and send what help you can to help us bring forward your cause and bring you relief. We are at least telling the truth and trying hard to introduce some shreds of honor and sanity into the worldwide discussion.

⚠️ More Secret Than The Atomic Bomb ⚠️

⚠️ More Secret Than The Atomic Bomb ⚠️

A deep dive into the triangular UAP seen throughout the United States and the world for decades. With the Immaculate Constellation report, at least SOME equilateral and isosceles triangle craft have been identified as reproduction and Alien Reproduction Vehicles.

Numerous sightings and whistleblower testimony have lent evidence to the thesis DOD and private contractors have operated reverse-engineered triangular craft out of key military bases since at least the 1980s. Key testimonies here include: Edgar Fouche and the TR-3b reverse-engineered triangle, US sightings from 1980-2000, and a strange illustration of a triangular craft called the XF-131 Super Sentinel.

Was Edgar Fouche's testimony of TR-3B and Area 51 programs true? How many prototype and operational triangle ARVs have been constructed? Why did the X-Files contract the work of an allegedly real triangle ARV out of Lockheed Martin's Helendale Plant?

🚨David Grusch on The Megyn Kelly Show🚨

Earlier this week, UFO/UAP whistleblower David Grusch appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show for a brief but revealing interview. During the conversation, Grusch named individuals he claimed were involved in managing the alleged UFO/UAP Legacy crash retrieval program, statements that immediately drew attention across the disclosure community.

Most notably, Grusch asserted that former Vice President Dick Cheney played a central role in overseeing the program. Cheney’s name has circulated within UFO/UAP research circles for years, but this marks the first time it has been spoken publicly by a former intelligence official who claims direct knowledge of the issue. It is also notable that just weeks ago, journalist Ross Coulthart independently referenced Cheney in a similar context, lending additional weight to the consistency of these claims.

Grusch also named former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, stating that Clapper was not only aware of the crash retrieval issue, but managed it and helped place individuals into key roles, both publicly and behind the scenes. These are serious assertions that warrant scrutiny and further investigation, given their potential implications for disclosure.

Please watch the full interview and consider its significance within the broader context of the disclosure conversation. Please note that the interview concludes with a paid promotional pitch, and Grusch does not provide any additional comments after the pitch.

Stellar CEO Reveals Where Real Opportunity Lies in Crypto Market: Details

In a recent tweet, Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) CEO and Executive Director Denelle Dixon defines what "real opportunity" is in blockchain as a new financial future beckons.

The SDF CEO was reacting to a recent Bloomberg report on Bank of New York Mellon Corp (BNY), Nasdaq, S&P Global and iCapital participation in a new $50 million investment round by Digital Asset Holdings. This comes as some of Wall Street’s biggest names embrace the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies to handle traditional assets.

Reacting to this development, Stellar Foundation CEO Denelle Dixon stated that every blockchain investment is a bet on a different financial future. Dixon added that seeing banks explore blockchain technology validates what has been known over the years.

Real opportunity defined

While Wall Street’s biggest names betting on blockchain might be one of the most significant adoption milestones in the digital asset market, Dixon defines what real opportunity is and what it is not.

According to the SDF executive director, real opportunity is not replicating old systems on new rails but rather building open networks that fundamentally expand global finance participation.

"But the real opportunity isn’t replicating old systems on new rails—it’s building open networks that fundamentally expand who gets to participate in global finance. That’s the opportunity," Dixon tweeted.

At the Meridian 2025 event, Stellar outlined its long-term privacy strategy, committing to investing in critical privacy infrastructure and building foundational cryptographic capabilities.

Stellar eyes privacy upgrade

A new protocol upgrade is on the horizon for the Stellar network: X-Ray, which lays the groundwork for developers to build privacy applications on Stellar using zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography.

The protocol timeline testnet vote is anticipated for Jan. 7, 2026, while the mainnet vote is expected for Jan. 22, 2026.

XDC Network's acquisition of Contour Network

XDC Network's acquisition of Contour Network marks a silent shift to connect the digital trade infrastructure to real-time, tokenized settlement rails.

In a world where cross-border payments still take days and trap trillions in idle liquidity, integrating Contour’s trade workflows with XDC Network Blockchains' ISO 20022 financial messaging standard to bridge TradFi and Web3 in Trade Finance.

The Current State of Cross-Border Trade Settlements

Cross-border payments remain one of the most inefficient parts of global finance. For decades, companies have inter-dependency with banks and their correspondent banks across the world, forcing them to maintain trillions of dollars in pre-funded nostro and vostro balances — the capital that sits idle while transactions crawl across borders.

Traditional settlement is slow, often 1–5 days, and often with ~2-3% in FX and conversion fees. For every hour a corporation can’t access its own cash increases the cost of financing, tightens liquidity that could be used for other purposes, which in turn slows economic activity.

Before SWIFT, payments were fully manual. Intermediary banks maintained ledgers, and reconciliation across multiple institutions limited speed and volume.

SWIFT reshaped global payments by introducing a secure, standardized messaging infrastructure through ISO 20022 - which quickly became the language of money for 11,000+ institutions in 200 countries.

But SWIFT only fixed the messaging — not the movement. Actual value still moves through slow, capital-intensive correspondent chains.

Regulated and Compliant Stablecoin such as USDC (Circle) solves the part SWIFT never could: instant, on-chain settlement.

Stablecoin Settlement revamping Trade and Tokenization

Stablecoin such as USDC is a digital token pegged to the US Dollar, still the most widely used currency for trade, enabling the movement of funds instantly 24*7 globally - transparently, instantly, and without the need for any intermediaries and the need to lock in trillions of dollars of idle cash.

Tokenized settlement replaces multi-day reconciliation with on-chain finality, reducing:

  • Dependency on intermediaries
  • Operational friction
  • Trillions locked in idle liquidity

For corporates trapped in long working capital cycles, this is transformative.

Digital dollars like USDC make the process simple:

Fiat → Stablecoin → On-Chain Transfer → Fiat

This hybrid model is already widely used across remittances, payouts, and treasury flows.

But one critical piece of global commerce is still lagging:

👉 Trade finance.

The Missing link is still Trade Finance Infrastructure.

While payments innovation has raced ahead, trade finance infrastructure hasn’t kept up. Document flows, letters of credit, and supply-chain financing remain siloed, paper-heavy, and operationally outdated.

This is exactly where the next breakthrough will happen - and why the recent XDC Network acquisition of Contour is a silent revolution.

It transforms to a new era of trade-driven liquidity through an end-to-end digital trade from shipping docs to payment confirmation – one infrastructure that powers all.

The breakthrough won’t come from payments alone — it will come from connecting trade finance to real-time settlement rails.

The XDC + Contour Shift: A Silent Revolution

  • Contour already connects global banks and corporates through digital LCs and digitized trade workflows.
  • XDC Blockchain brings a settlement layer built for speed, tokenization, and institutional-grade interoperability and ISO 20022 messaging compatibility

Contour’s digital letter of credit workflows will be integrated with XDC’s blockchain network to streamline trade documentation and settlement.

Together, they form the first end-to-end digital trade finance network linking:

Documentation → Validation → Settlement all under a single infrastructure.

XDC Ventures (XVC.TECH) is launching a Stable-Coin Lab to work with financial institutions on regulated stablecoin pilots for trade to deepen institutional trade-finance integration through launch of pilots with banks and corporates for regulated stable-coin issuance and settlement.

The Bottom Line

Payments alone won’t transform Global Trade Finance — Trade finance + Tokenized Settlement will.

This is the shift happening underway XDC Network's acquisition of Contour is the quiet catalyst.
