THE GOVERNMENT OPENED A CRIMINAL PROBE OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS IN CALIFORNIA THE DAY AFTER A JUDGE TOLD IT TO STOP, CORPORATIONS SPENT 737 MILLION AND THE SUPER-RICH GAVE 4.2 BILLION DOLLARS ON THIS ELECTION, FAMINE WAS OFFICIALLY DECLARED IN A YEMENI CITY — AND THE GOVERNMENT IS CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATING THE CANDIDATE IN THE SAME RACE IT SUED TO BLOCK

Subprime Crisis 2.0: More Reckless than 2008?

Do you remember the subprime crisis of 2008?

Wall Street built a gigantic “pyramid of risk” based on subprime loans in the housing market.

And then it all came tumbling down, along with almost the entire financial system.

One man called it, almost before anyone else.

His name is Dr. Martin D. Weiss. He predicted not only the 2008 crisis, but also the implosion of Fannie Mae, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers in the 2000s.

It’s no wonder the New York Times once said Dr. Weiss is "the first to see the dangers".

You won’t believe what he’s predicting now:

He says a new $3 trillion “subprime” crisis is underway.

And it’s already starting to spin out of control.

Click here to see this new prediction because it’s an EYE-OPENER …

The Department of Justice opened a criminal probe of mail-in ballots in California… one day after a federal judge told the government its ballot challenge would “wreak havoc and disrupt the election.” The department issued grand jury subpoenas ordering election officials to testify on November 4… the day after the election. Democracy Now reported the move in its Friday headlines.

The judge said the challenge would create a chilling effect on election workers and voters. The judge said it would discount the votes of citizens. And the government opened the criminal probe anyway.

Five court rulings in two months told the government to stop. The press ban. The pollster lawsuit. The taxpayer ads. The sanctions on groups supporting the international court. The California ballots. Five times the courts said no. And the government opened a criminal investigation the next day.

The grand jury date is November 4. The election is November 3. The voters go to the polls one day. The election workers testify before a grand jury the next.

The machine was told to stop. The machine opened a criminal probe instead. One day before the election.

THE JUDGE SAID STOP. THE GOVERNMENT OPENED A CRIMINAL PROBE THE NEXT DAY. THE GRAND JURY IS NOVEMBER 4. THE ELECTION IS NOVEMBER 3.

BREAKING

Corporations Spent 737 Million Dollars on the Midterms — and the Super-Rich Gave 4.2 Billion to Super PACs

A new analysis by Public Citizen found that corporations have spent at least $737 million on the 2026 election cycle. That is a 60 percent increase from 2024. The super-rich have given $4.2 billion to super PACs. Democracy Now reported the figures in its Friday headlines.

One person gave $366 million. Another paid $100,000 for access. A third received a $150 million payday when a merger closed. Three hundred and thirty million flowed through the White House ballroom. A pardon cost $50 million. And now the totals are in: $737 million from corporations and $4.2 billion from the wealthiest donors in the country.

This is the price tag of the election the voters go to tomorrow. The billionaires on the California ballot spent $200 million to stop the tax. The lobbying group timed $9 million so the disclosure would come after the vote. And the total now sits at $4.2 billion from the top.

Four point two billion dollars. That is what the machine costs. The voters go to the polls tomorrow. The money already went in.

Famine Was Officially Declared in a Yemeni City — Eight Months into a Conflict No One in the Legislature Voted For

Famine was officially declared in the Yemeni city of Taiz. Democracy Now reported the declaration in its Friday headlines. The famine is the result of a siege that has cut off food, fuel, and medicine to hundreds of thousands of people.

Famine. That is not a metaphor. It is an official classification that means people are starving to death in large numbers. Eight hundred thousand people were already cut off from aid earlier this month. One hundred and thirty-nine drowned off Djibouti in waters the conflict made dangerous. And now the word is famine.

The conflict has cost $47 billion. It raised gas past $4. It closed the strait. It sank ships. And now it has produced famine. The cost the machine counts is the budget. The cost it does not count is the city where people are starving.

Forty-seven billion for the conflict. Famine in a city. The budget is the line the machine reads. The famine is the line it skips.

“The court determined the move would wreak havoc with an election that is already underway, create a chilling effect on election workers and voters, and discount the votes of citizens.”

— The federal court ruling that the government ignored when it opened a criminal probe the next day

DEVELOPING

The Government Is Criminally Investigating the Candidate in the Same Senate Race It Already Sued to Block

The Department of Justice ramped up a criminal investigation of Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign, issuing subpoenas days before the election. Democracy Now reported the escalation in its Friday headlines.

This is the same Senate race the government already sued to block the certification of before the vote took place. The government challenged the election system. Now it is investigating the candidate. The lawsuit and the probe are targeting the same race from two directions at the same time.

The machine filed a pre-emptive lawsuit to block the certification. It challenged the ranked-choice voting system. And now it issued subpoenas against the candidate’s campaign. The lawsuit says the system is unconstitutional. The probe says the candidate is under investigation. The voter hears both before walking into the booth.

The machine does not just challenge the result. It challenges the system and investigates the candidate at the same time. One race. Two weapons. One day before the vote.

 Connecting the Dots 

▸ The Bigger Picture

Four stories on the eve of the election. The government opened a criminal probe of California mail-in ballots the day after a judge told it the challenge would wreak havoc… and scheduled the grand jury for the day after the vote. Corporations spent $737 million and the super-rich gave $4.2 billion on this election cycle. Famine was officially declared in a Yemeni city eight months into a conflict the legislature never approved. And the government is criminally investigating the candidate in the same Alaska Senate race it already sued to block.

The press covers each on its own page. A “legal dispute.” A “campaign finance story.” A “humanitarian crisis.” An “election investigation.” But the thread is the same in every one.

Tomorrow, more than 100 million Americans will walk into a voting booth. The machine has spent the last nine months preparing for this day. It built a voter database. It sent lists that caught citizens. It ordered 3,000 enforcement actions a day. It deputized 13,000 local officers. It filed lawsuits to block elections before they happened. It opened criminal probes against candidates and election workers. It sent $4.2 billion through the system. And it promised the conflict would end after the vote while drafting the next round of strikes. Every story this newsletter has told since August leads to the same door. Tomorrow the voters walk through it. The machine has done everything it can to control what is on the other side. The question is whether the voters know what they are walking into.

Tomorrow is November 3. The machine is ready. The question is whether the voters are. That’s the Seventh Floor.

They rely on the shadows.
It’s time to turn on the lights.
