Pro-democracy protesters gathered in Hong Kong on Thanksgiving yesterday to show their gratitude toward President Donald Trump after he signed legislation in their favor. Trump signed two bills into law on Wednesday that provide support for the protesters in Hong Kong and threaten economic consequences against China, all while the democrats are neck deep in trying to impeach him at any cost. Thousands of demonstrators showed their appreciation by waving American flags and holding copies of an image Trump tweeted that has his head photoshopped onto that of boxer Rocky Balboa’s body. Another great thing about one of the bills that his signed was that it would prevent the sale of tear gas and rubber bullets to Hong Kong police, which they have been using constantly to stop protests against this communist government. The other bill would allow for the US to impose sanctions and remove Hong Kong’s special trading status with the U.S. if China is found to have violated the city’s autonomy.

Thanks to the internet for keeping the Epstein story alive, something the very elite and rich have been trying to squash for quite some time now. Don't take my word for it, just go back and take a look at how much news coverage there was regarding it, not to mention ABC covering up the story. One of the big names in this very sick fiasco dealing with underage children and a pedophile island has been Prince Andrew, the third child of Queen Elizabeth. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claims she was trafficked by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with Prince Andrew on three occasions nearly 20 years ago when she was 17 at the time. The Prince was recently interviewed on BBC he denied ever meeting her, unfortunately for him there were photos. Andrew stepped down from his royal duties Nov 20th after the interview and the Queen has also even now canceled his birthday party. (Click the image below to read more...)
Think before you buy, and don't get sucked into more debt due to the hysteria that is Black Friday, remember if you don't buy anything, you saved 100%. Now there is nothing wrong with getting something you need when there's a sale, but just going to buy something for the sake of buying, that a problem and also the reason why we are in a global debt crisis. Millions of people don't seem to understand that it's not exactly a deal if you end up paying twice as much for the sale item through credit card interest. To give you an example of here in South Africa, almost half of all consumers were three months or more behind in their repayments, and it's much worse internationally. Some economists have pointed out the many deals were nothing but bait-and-switches, with only a handful of items being discounted to create the impression that everything is being sold at bargain-basement prices.

Things just keep not going well for Disney Star Wars, and feels like a cosmic justice and they are just reaping what they have sowed. What I'm referring to here, is the chickens finally coming home to roost after blaming fans who criticized the direction Disney took with the story. Instead of catering to the people who buy the product and sticking with the direction George Lucas had set out they did their own thing. Well it seems there are massive issues happen behind the scenes, leaked scripts, huge re-shoots, all the while both Kathleen Kennedy head of Lucas Film and J.J. Abrams has been telling us that there is nothing to worry about, and no re-shoots where happening. Turns out this was nothing more than lies to cover up the scrambling to try save what is left of the franchise. The Rise of Skywalker is set to be released on the 18th of December world wide, and as a massive Star Wars fan is just not that excited to see it, I'm feeling more dread than anything else.

Well like my grandpa use to say, if you can't beat them, join them, not I'm joking he never said that and folks back then stood on the principals no matter what. But they didn't have things like the internet and Black Friday or epic gaming consoles, and as much as I'm totally not into this mass hysteria of Black Friday, it doesn't mean you can't pick up some great deals. There never really a better time than today to pic spoil yourself if you are in the market for a gaming console, and there are some pretty great deals right now. Both PlayStation and Xbox are offering some great discounts on consoles that include a game or town as well, obviously I would say go for PlayStation as that is where my allegiances lie, but you do you. You can pick up a PS4 1TB console with 3 great games for just $199 or opt for the XBox One X 1TB Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Bundle for$349. Unfortunately these prices might not be the same in your country, like in mine where the deals are literally 110% more than those offer here. (Click the image below to read more...)
The United States Federal Reserve is again expanding its balance sheet and a few prominent experts believe that this could bode well for bitcoin in the long run, but just how long might that be? To put it in basic terms, when interest rates begin to rise, the Fed pumps prints masses of money and pumps it into the system by buying treasuries. Then the banks have more cash available to lend and lower interest rates, if you thinking that this is nothing more than a government run Ponzi scheme, you would be right, and as with all Ponzi schemes they end in tears. A popular analyst has hinted this was a sign of impending turmoil, the bubble we have been waiting to burst since Bitcoin was created and for the exact reason why it was created is getting closer.
