Pastor Kevin Swanson makes two good points.
1. American stocks are overvalued.
2. There will be a big correction in 2024.
"Are American stocks overvalued?
The NASDAQ stock index has hit an all-time high, closing Friday at 16,826. That’s up from 1,204 in 2009, a 14-fold increase.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed for the year 2023 at 37,690, up from 7,060 in 2009. That’s a 5-fold increase. Meanwhile, almost every other stock market in the world hasn’t come close to these valuations.
WolfStreet.com reports that the Chinese Shanghai composite is still where it was in 2009. Japan’s Nikkei is leveled off where the index stood in 1989. The UK FTSE Index is up about 50% since 2009. Spain’s IBEX index is still where it was sitting in 2009. Canada’s Index is up about 40% from 2008.
Economist predicts 2024 “biggest single crash year in our lifetimes”
Is the American industry really doing 20 to 100 times better than England, China, and Japan?
U.S. economist Harry Dent told Fox Business: “Since 2009, this has been a 100% artificial [economy], with unprecedented money printing and deficits; $27 trillion over 15 years, to be exact. … We’re in a dangerous state. 2024 is going to be the biggest single crash year we’ll see in our lifetimes.”
The economist forecasts an 86% crash in the S&P, a 92% crash in the NASDAQ, 96% for crypto, and significant deflation on housing prices.
But Jesus said, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” (Luke 12:15) Our Savior also said, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)"
...and a few more parts yield precision warfare. A single individual with a recipe, a 3D printer and $96 just shattered the monopoly on high-tech violence.
A video, along with the plans, has recently surfaced showcasing “Project Canard,” an open-source, 3D-printed guided rocket system that recalculates its trajectory mid-air using a $5 sensor and some piano wire. The creator, operating under the GitHub handle novatic14, has essentially handed the keys to advanced surface-to-air defense to anyone with an internet connection and a spool of plastic filament.
George Mason, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, once profoundly questioned, "I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials." And what weapons those officials possess must be available to the whole people.

Newly released CIA documents reveal the Biden Administration identified “motherhood” and “homemaking” as indicators of “white racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism” (REMVE).
The CIA actually put a trigger warning on its own intelligence product about how white women promoting motherhood is a threat to the United States. Note CIA logo upper left.

"If I were fierce, and bald, and short of breath
I’d live with scarlet Majors at the Base,
And speed glum heroes up the line to death.
You’d see me with my puffy petulant face,
Guzzling and gulping in the best hotel,
Reading the Roll of Honour. “Poor young chap,”
I’d say — “I used to know his father well;
Yes, we’ve lost heavily in this last scrap.”
And when the war is done and youth stone dead,
I’d toddle safely home and die — in bed."
“Base Details” by the British World War I poet Siegfried Sassoon
