The head of the International Monetary Fund said the US economy is “definitely” headed for a soft landing thanks to the Federal Reserve’s “decisiveness” in taming inflation despite some pain from higher interest rates.
“It has brought the desired impact without pushing the economy into recession,” Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said in an interview with Christiane Amanpour on CNN International to be broadcast Tuesday.
A cooling of both inflation and the labor market in the US after the steepest cycle of interest rate hikes in a generation has raised hopes that the world’s biggest economy may avoid a deep recession and opened the door for the Fed to cut rates this year. Bloomberg Economics says borrowing-cost reductions may start as soon as March
.
Asked about Donald Trump’s 2024 election prospects and the potential return of his protectionist trade policies, Georgieva said policymakers need to help those hurt by globalization or risk stoking resentment and isolationism.
“We will see in the United States, in Europe, everywhere, a pushback against what makes us all wealthier and more secure — an integrated global economy,” she said
As strategic rivalry ramps up between the US and China, the IMF has warned about the economic damage from fragmentation, which it has estimated may sacrifice as much as 7% of global gross domestic product. Georgieva said this threatens to cut off access to critical minerals needed for tomorrow’s green technologies.
“If you end up not having access to them, that can be dramatically impacting your future competitiveness in a rapidly transforming world economy,” she said.
The U.S. residential real estate market is now facing a significant downturn, and here’s why you should pay attention. This is in addition to the ongoing scenario playing out in commercial real estate crisis.
Recent data reveals a sudden increase in the number of new homes for sale, and home builders are selling off their inventory, raising concerns about a possible crash.
This means that the ‘active inventory’ of homes on the market is spiking upwards.
More Homes on the Market – What Does It Mean?
In November 2023, around 590,000 new homes were sold, but that’s a 12.2% drop from October. The price of these homes fell to $434,000, which is 12.5% less than what it was a year ago.
Now, at the end of November, there were 451,000 new homes up for sale – that’s a lot! In fact, it’s enough to meet the demand for about 9.2 months, which is a big deal and signals huge problems developing in the residential real estate market.
Builders are Selling More – Is That a Problem?
Yes, it is.
Home builders, who usually build and sell houses, have suddenly started selling more houses than before. This wasn’t expected, and it could be a sign that they are worried about the market.
They used to keep some houses to control prices, but now they’re liquidating them quickly, and that’s not normal.
History Tells Us This is a Big Problem
Whenever we’ve seen lots of new homes in the market like this in the past, it often coincided with significant economic troubles. So, this history lesson tells us that we might be in for a tough time in the housing market.
Why Prices are Dropping and Where
The price of these new homes has fallen, especially in places like California. In some areas, prices have dropped by 15% or more! This is happening because there are too many homes available compared to people who are looking to buy a home.
What About Mortgage Rates?
Mortgage rates, or how much it costs to borrow money to buy a home, are also important.
Right now, rates are at 6.5%, which is not too high, but it’s not too low either. In the meantime, new mortgage applications are at record lows not seen in decades.
This means that home sellers will begin dropping prices like never before. It tends to happen slowly at first, then all of a sudden as sellers capitulate and become desperate to sell their homes.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, this situation could impact you. Prices might continue to drop, and it might be harder to sell a house.
On the other hand, if you’re looking to buy, it could be a good time to find a more affordable home.
The real estate market is going through some big changes, and it’s essential to be aware of them. Keep an eye on the news and any updates about the housing market in your area. If you’re planning to make a move in the real estate world, understanding these changes can help you make smarter decisions.

The Federal Reserve is privately-owned, sits on it’s own land, immune to US laws. Former Chair of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan: “No federal government agency, not Congress, not even the US President can overrule actions we take.”
Reporter: “What is the, uh, proper relationship, what should be the proper relationship between the chairman of the Fed and a president of the United States?”
Greenspan: “Well, first of all, the Federal Reserve is an independent agency, and that means basically that there is no other agency of government which can overrule actions that we take. So long as that is in place, and there is no evidence that the Administration or the Congress or anybody else is, uh, requesting that we do things other than what we think is the appropriate thing, then what the relationships are, don’t frankly matter.” https://x.com/Bit_VM/status/1742481513210376289?t=veY0jp8nmYaxXhkDSMFIRA&s=35

For some time the Iraqi Dinar has been trading upward on the back screens of the Forex.
By Jan. 1 2024 the new Dinar in-country Rate was revalued and being used within Iraq, while the fiat US Federal Dollar was outlawed in the country.
From 1932 to 1949 the Iraqi Dinar was worth $4.86. Under Suddam it was $3.48.
Sources from the USA, Australia and China all confirmed that this is the week for the release. …Amiel Alston
Many reports have come in about local bank branches being converted into Exchange and Redemption Centers, with a reduction of staff and bank personnel revealing that they will no longer be functioning as a bank.
The RV has happened in Iraq for the Dinar and they have been paying their citizens on back pay, military pay and HCL with the new in-country Dinar Rate.
The Iraqi Dinar was not yet on the front screens of the Forex, but it was supposed to start Sun. 7 Jan. That’s the first business day in Iraq.
Bank screens were showing solid rates, while the rates were flashing on Redemption Center front screens. When they stop blinking and go solid on the rates then it’s RV time.

BOOM! A new list of banks that are connected to the QFS system or are connecting: QFS + RTGS Trust the plan! Today we discovered the intricate network of banks that are now aligning themselves with the QFS system. The QFS, or Quantum Financial System, has been the subject of much speculation, whispers in dimly lit rooms, and late-night conspiracy theory forums. Some say it is the future, while others claim it is just another fantastic myth. But what if I told you that 97 of the top 100 central banks are covertly connected to this system? https://amg-news.com/boom-a-new-list-of-banks-that-are-connected-to-the-qfs-system-or-are-being-connected-qfs-rtgs-trust-
Thurs. 4 Jan. 2024 London HSBC Bank announcement: “One of London’s largest bullion dealers, HSBC Holding, has launched tokenized physical gold trading on its single-trader platform. The new capability will maintain records of ownership of physical gold on a distributed ledger. The new service is powered by Platform bank Orion, which issues digital assets, and its digital custody service, scheduled to go live in 2024.” HSBC Bank offers the possibility of purchasing tokenized assets in gold. The benefit of this digital ledger program is that you can buy small amounts of gold and expand your portfolio as you have the money to do so. Your gold will be held in a digital Ledger service that allows you to hold physical gold through a banking system. This indicates a change in our monetary system. A system whereby gold supports both our markets and our banking system into the future. It is a clear indication that we are moving out of a Fiat system towards a gold standard economy. https://gfmag.com/banking/hsbc-launches-tokenized-gold/ …Goldilocks
Words of Caution on SS Increase, NESARA Deadlines & Buying Cryptos, Wildfire Lady
Regardless of what the gurus are saying, we won’t see increases in SS until NESARA is announced or made official. I just received my monthly payment and it increased by the 3+% that was given by the Fed. We could very well receive it still this month but NESARA needs to happen first. The way I understand it is Social Security will be replaced by funds from the St Germaine Trust.
All Government assistance will be dissolved accordingly and St Germaine’s Trust and the Rodriguez Trust funds will be used for things like Universal Basic Income, etc. That eliminates the Welfare program.
We won’t need Medicare/Medicaid with the availability of Med Beds.
With everything happening this week in Iraq, Israel, Ukraine and many other countries (disasters, weather manipulation) we could very well see NESARA happen within a few days. I sure hope so. Iraq might just go ahead announce their RV this weekend.
Please be careful about Cryptos. The Deep State is trying to pull a fast one and get people to put their IRA’s into Cryptos. They are NOT gold backed. Only XRP related are part of the QFS. Even so, one must understand the process before investing. I have a friend that lost a lot of money because they don’t tell you the whole truth in the ads. That includes the Trump dollars. Unless it is actually a pure gold or silver coin it has no value except maybe as a collectable.
Most of the banking sources (used by Bruce and Mark) are only getting partial information. That is why they keep everyone hyped up. My sources are in the idea that a “certain event” must happen for everything to go. One can only speculate at what that might be. The rumors of EBS, 10 days of darkness might be it but somehow I feel something else could be in the works.
Restored Republics:
Wed. 3 Jan. Ethiopia recognizedSomaliland’s separation from Somalia and now considers Somaliland a separate sovereign state. In exchange for recognition from Ethiopia, Somaliland will provide access to the coast and allow the establishment of a military base there. This Djibouti deal cements Somalia’s ongoing disintegration. As has been said more than once, in the coming years we will observe the disappearance of some states, the emergence of other states, and the redrawing of borders. No paper contracts nowadays guarantee anything to anyone. Strength rules the show. The power to hold your boundaries or change them in your favor. Subject states will strive to take advantage of these circumstances, which will be relevant throughout the period of dismantling the old and forming a new world order.
Thurs. 4 Jan. White Hat Intel:
ALL WARS are started by a false flag. Pearl Harbor in WW2, Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam, 9/11 in Iraq, etc.
On 9/11, Building 7 fell without anything hitting it. 9/11 happened and Building WTC 7 was destroyed to prevent NESARA GESARA.
What’s happening in Israel is to STOP GESARA.
The ‘Revaluation’ of all currencies is HERE. The fleeing Khazarians have lost control of the world financial system. ALL the major ‘Oil-Producing’ countries have joined BRICS+ & they are primarily Arab countries.
Wars and Rumors of Wars:
Wed. 3 Jan. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby snaps on Al Jazeera reporter when she asks about the American intervention in the Red Sea, which has been seen as a provocation to escalate the situation in the Middle East.
Thurs. 4 Jan. Iran War with US & Israel: In Iran Billboards have been put up stating that “Revenge will be swift and it’s coming soon”. Indications are very likely that Iran is planning an extensive retaliation against US & Israel both. The retaliation could be within days or even hours according to a source in the International Coalition.
Wed. 3 Jan. U.S. Senator Graham tells Netanyahu that he wants “to push forward to make Iran’s worst nightmare real.”
NASA faked the Moon Landing. Their CGI has drastically improved over the years. They don’t even need to waste money on building the rockets when they can create everything via computer. Many people believe that by using rockets we are actually able to get to outer space. That may be true through CGI, but in reality these rockets are not even able to leave Ionosphere. Using the fuel as internal combustion is simply not possible. The Ionosphere is literally the last barrier and it’s about 50 miles from Earth. This is not space. This is still in the Earth’s orbit. This is where the Balloon Satellites with helium are hovering, they are not in space. If they really wanted to explore space and other planets/galaxies, they need to completely reinvent this technology using Electro Magnetic motors. Even if they have this tech already, you can be sure it won’t be announced. Using this firecracker technology is simply not going to cut it.
Microchips in the human body: There is a short video that describes how American citizens receive implants (chips) during surgery under general anesthesia. Med-beds will be able to remove any implants or microchips in a person’s body and completely cleanse the body.
The ATF Follows Law Abiding Americans Home From Gun Shows But Now They’re Allowing Illegal Immigrants To Purchase & Carry Guns: “My husband owns a gun shop, and he just called me to tell me that the ATF has made updates to their background check policy. And effective today, they give an exemption to illegal immigrants to be able to purchase firearms. Now this strangely coincides with, uh, California, New York, and Chicago making it legal for illegals to be police officers. Tell me our government isn’t about to pull some shenanigans, without telling me our government’s about to pull some shenanigans.”
CIA Runs Mainstream Media Deep State Narrative: Sig Mickelson, President of CBS from 1954 to 1961, “We had been contacted by the CIA, as a matter of fact by the time I became the head of the whole News and Public Affairs operation in 1954 the shifts had been established and I was told about them and asked if I’d carry on with them.”

This article examines what it means to patent a gene. Numerous ethical concerns have been raised about the effects of such patents on clinical medical practice as well as on research and development. We describe what kinds of inventions are covered by human gene patents, give several examples and summarize the small body of empirical research performed in the US examining the effects of these patents.
Nearly 30,000 human genes have been patented in the US. Patents will often be secured in countries throughout the world where the patent owner thinks there may be a viable market.
Patents are granted by the US government to inventors for new, non-obvious and useful inventions and discoveries, and similar standards of patentability are applied around the globe.
A patent grants to its owner the right to exclude others from making, using or selling a patented machine or composition of matter, or using a patented method, typically for a period of 20 years from the date of filing a patent application.
In contrast to trade secrets (which must be kept secret by their owner and do not protect against independent invention), patents require disclosure that teaches the world how to make and use an invention, rewarding the inventor with a period of exclusivity during which time profits may be earned from its commercialization.
CIA Heart Attack Gun: Former CIA employee Mary Embree discussed the infamous heart attack gun. The weapon was first made public during the Church Committee hearings in 1975. Very lethal & untraceable, using this weapon a murder is made to look natural. No doubt the CIA has been using this weapon and has most likely improved upon it since the 70’s.
Judy Note: It is my belief that the subject of my book, Jenny Hill, was killed by a CIA Heart Attack gun. Her biography exposed the CIA Mind Control Program used on her and thousands of other children who had the misfortune of being born into families who practiced CIA Mind Control in their worship of Satan.
