by Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Wall St On Parade:
As the financial crisis of 2008 was ravaging century-old financial institutions on Wall Street and collapsing the U.S. economy, the central bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve, launched an effort to restore market liquidity by becoming the buyer of the toxic sludge flooding Wall Street in the form of Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS).
On November 25, 2008, in delicately-parsed language, the Fed announced it planned to buy $500 billion of MBS that was backed by government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. That was the first of what would become Quantitative Easing (QE) to infinity at the Fed. The Fed’s MBS holdings have grown from the planned $500 billion to $2.4 trillion as of last Wednesday.

Looking back, there were warning signs. First, let me tell you what life used to be like before the Venezuelan economic collapse.
I usually wake up early in the morning, without too much complaint. When I was working in an oil facility 58 kilometers away from home, I had to be out of bed and ready for the bus at 5:20 AM. My wife took me to the bus stop, where the corporate bus would pick me up at 5:45. We were in the office by 7 o’clock.
Then, work all the day with one hour and a half for lunch, most of the times without leaving the company facilities, in the restaurant for employees. Then work until 4:30 PM and take the bus at 4:45. One hour later we were arriving to the city again, depending on the traffic.
by Wolf Richter, Wolf Street:
80% of single-family rentals are mom-and-pop; mega-landlords own just 3%. But mega-landlords dominate multifamily rentals.
There has been a lot of talk about corporate mega-landlords buying up single-family houses one by one in massive numbers, outbidding overwhelmed homebuyers at every twist and turn.
But that’s just not the case. The landlords that own 80% of the single-family rental houses are mom-and-pop investors.
by William Upton, The National Pulse:
Representative Clay Higgins (R-LA), who sits on the Congressional Subcommittee for Homeland Security, says the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) embedded itself into online veteran communities months ahead of the January 6, 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol. The explosive details came out during an appearance on the Louisiana-based Implicit Bias podcast.
“The FBI started embedding themselves in those groups — by the time you were four, five, six months into 2020, the FBI was monitoring and embedded into hundreds of online discussion groups,” Higgins asserted. According to Congressman, the evidence of the FBI’s pre-riot operations has been hidden from the public by court orders — though some Members of Congress have been able to view the details.
JUST IN – U.S. inflation rises to 3.5%, hotter than expected.

by Mike LaChance, The Gateway Pundit:
Stores throughout greater San Francisco have been closing for months. Major retailers have ditched the city, as well as pharmacies and grocery stores. All mainly due to crime and theft.
Now lawmakers in the city want to allow residents to sue grocery stores for closing.
This is completely backwards. The city could stop all of the theft tomorrow if they wanted to by simply enforcing the law. Then the stores wouldn’t close in the first place. But that would entail admitting that the left’s policies are wrong and don’t work, so they’re going after the stores.
What is happening? Dollar Tree is now $7 Tree and now this.
Inflation is radically transforming the world we live in, faster than I’ve ever seen before. https://t.co/6lPS6lrDiQ
