As Inflation Rises, Prepare for Crime
Inflation breeds desperation, and desperation breeds crime.
As central banks in Europe and Canada cut interest rates, and expectations remain that the Fed will wait to cut until at least September if it cuts this year at all, our endlessly-wise global central bankers, the benevolent all-knowing stewards of the global economy, can’t seem to agree on what steps are needed to cool inflation back down to reasonable levels.
But with no hope of ever setting interest rates truly high enough to properly tame price increases and stop the debasement of their ever-depreciating fiat currencies, inflation is set to keep ripping upward no matter what they decide. And when an increasing number of people can’t afford basic necessities, it isn’t rocket science (and doesn’t require a PhD in economics) to figure out what comes next.
From the early 90s to 2022, crime drastically decreased — something that police chiefs, political candidates, and the FBI love to boast about. But the real picture is quite a bit more complex. For example, while the US murder rate in 2020 was still much lower than it was in the early 90s, murder also saw its most dramatic single-year increase ever recorded in that same year. It isn’t hard to see how during the pandemic response — which turned the world into a fishbowl of terror, isolation, confusion, upheaval, and chaos — murders skyrocketed.
While the pandemic was a unique Black Swan event, and the murder rate has normalized and come back down since that very murderous year, economic crises lead to similar conditions of desperation, loneliness, and general despondence. Currently, most forms of violent crime are down in the US in comparison. But from 2019-2023, for example, car thefts rose by an astonishing 28.5%.
In 2022, instead of declining after the smoke had cleared from COVID lockdowns (and the “stimulus” checks had all been spent), property crimes like larceny and car theft went up almost 7%.

During that same period (2020-2022), the official CPI numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics saw inflation go from about 1.4% to 6.5%. The average inflation in 2020 was reported as 1.2%, and in 2022, the average was 8%. While correlation alone doesn’t prove causation, it seems logically silly to think there’s no connection between rising crime and rising prices for basic needs and a higher resale value for stolen goods.
Plus, those crime numbers only count what was reported to the police. In addition to data coming from an incomplete set of participating law enforcement agencies, around 70% of property crimes are never reported to the police at all. A large number of crimes like larceny, petty theft, embezzling, and robbery don’t get called in for one reason or another.
Inflation doesn’t just increase crime because people are naturally more desperate when they can’t afford food and gas. It also makes certain types of crime, like theft of building materials and copper, more attractive. Car thieves can fetch higher prices for stolen auto parts, and jewelry thieves can get more cash for their loot. The list goes on.
Inflation incentivizes thieves to set their sights on materials that are part of important infrastructure, costing troubled towns and cities millions, disrupting real estate projects, and threatening the functioning of basic services that are dependent on cell towers, car chargers, and electrical station equipment.
As central banks scramble to contain a monster of their own making, shifting numbers on computer screens that move and shake the real lives of actual people, expect the bankers to fail — and expect crime to increase as one of many unfortunate real-world results.

Illegal With Lengthy Rap Sheet Bites Three NYC Cops After Arrest for Shoplifting – Police
An illegal alien who has been arrested nearly 20 times in six months is facing new charges after he allegedly bit three police officers following shoplifting bust in New York City this week, according to reports.
Ysmael Qintero, a male illegal from Venezuela, was apprehended on June 9 while allegedly trying to steal three pairs of jeans from a Target in the Big Apple.
While being taken into custody, Qintero allegedly sank his teeth into an NYPD officer’s arm, causing a significant injury that required medical treatment, the New York Post reports.
Minutes later, Qintero allegedly bit the leg of another officer inside a precinct where he was being processed.
The cop was “only spared because the defendant bit him through his pants,” according to Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Olivia Stevens.
The Venezuelan was transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital and while there, he reportedly chomped on a third officer’s finger.
At the time of the third attack, Qintero was banging his head against a wall and spitting, the injured cop said.
“Our wonderful, beloved asylum seekers … ??❤️❤️”

Qintero was ordered held on $50,000 bail and charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer and petit larceny.
“Qintero has remained on the streets despite racking up 18 petit larceny arrests, one misdemeanor conviction and five failures to appear in court in the past seven months. Those include a May 16 bust for allegedly swiping a bottle of cologne from a display at Macy’s flagship store on 34th Street, sources said,” the Post reports.

Five Illegals Wanted for Murder Arrested in Texas
Federal immigration authorities arrested five illegal aliens wanted for murder in less than two weeks in Texas.
The troubling slew of apprehensions were carried out between May 23 and June 7 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) offices in Houston and Waco.
On May 23, a 38-year-old Honduran illegal wanted for multiple murders in Mexico was caught in Galveston by ERO Houston officers.
The Honduran allegedly killed two gang members “during a botched attempt to highjack a shipment of illicit narcotics,” ICE explained in a press release.
On May 24, a 21-year-old Mexican illegal was arrested in Splendora by ERO Houston officers working with local police.
He is wanted for homicide in Veracruz, Mexico.
On June 3, a 42-year-old Honduran was apprehended in Houston by ERO agents.
He is wanted for murder in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
On June 4, a 41-year-old Mexican who was previously deported was caught in Waco where he was illegal residing.
He is wanted for homicide in Durango, Mexico.
On June 7, a 40-year-old Mexican was arrested in Splendora by ERO Houston officers working with local police.
The “three-time voluntarily returned Mexican national” is wanted for murder in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
“In one case, they were able to successfully locate and arrest an unlawfully present murder fugitive in just seven hours, which is almost unheard of given all of the logistical hurdles and surveillance needed to safely take a dangerous fugitive like that into custody,” ERO Houston Field Office Director Bret A. Bradford said in a statement regarding the busts.
Authorities continue to catch dangerous foreign criminals illegally present in the U.S.

CNN’s Oliver Darcy Triggered Ticketmaster Selling Seats To Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones Speaking Tour
CNN‘s resident tattletale Oliver Darcy published an article on Thursday complaining ticket sales giant Ticketmaster is “linking arms with right-wing extremists” by partnering with Tucker Carlson for his upcoming national speaking tour.
Alex Jones, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and many other amazing patriots will join Carlson on the tour.
Titled, “Tucker Carlson is going on tour. Ticketmaster is profiting off his hateful rhetoric,” the hit piece alleges both Carlson and Ticketmaster will be “profiting off” the “dangerous and hateful rhetoric” of the tour’s speakers.
The sniveling “journalist” added, “Carlson, a former mainstream conservative who over the course of Donald Trump’s presidency traveled to the fringes of American politics, has for years promoted dangerous disinformation and damaging conspiracy theories. Carlson lied about the Covid-19 vaccines, discouraging his fans from receiving the life-saving shots. He sowed doubt about the legitimacy of the 2020 election, suggesting that it was rigged by sinister forces against Trump. And he reprehensibly peddled the false notion that the January 6 insurrection was a so-called ‘false flag’ operation staged by the ‘deep state.’”
He continued, “Carlson has been one of the top promoters of the Great Replacement Theory, the idea favored by White supremacists that falsely accuses the Democratic Party and wealthy Jewish figures, such as George Soros, of importing third-world migrants into the U.S. to shift the country’s demographics to win elections.”
Of course, the United Nations website bragged “Replacement Migration” is an agenda they’ve adopted that intends on flooding Western nations with third world migrants.
Learn more below:
After noting Carlson was fired by Fox News last year, Darcy again attacked Ticketmaster, writing, “Evidently, Fox News has higher standards for whom they will do business with than Ticketmaster, a remarkably low bar for the events giant to trip over.”
Darcy also reached out to venues hosting the tour, such as the Honda Center, T-Mobile Center, Delta Center, Dickies Arena, Intrust Bank Arena, to guilt trip them for supporting free speech.
The CNN stooge went on to attack Alex Jones, writing, “Far-right and conspiratorial figures like Jones, the founder of Infowars who openly fantasized this week about executing Dr. Anthony Fauci and other Trump critics, were once banished to the shadows of the conservative movement, mocked by people like Carlson. Now, Carlson and others openly celebrate Jones, fully aligning themselves to assail the nation’s institutions.”
Carlson announced his first ever national arena tour earlier this week.

Commenting on being part of the tour, Alex Jones wrote on X, “I’m so honored to be a part of this historic tour with the great Tucker Carlson. In the year 2024, Tucker Carlson is hands down the greatest journalist in the world. Get your tickets now because they will sell out!”

Bus Hijacked, Victim Killed During Hostage Crisis in Atlanta
A suspect with a lengthy rap sheet was arrested after hijacking a bus at gunpoint, killing a passenger, and forcing a lengthy pursuit in the Atlanta area, authorities say.
The shocking string of events unfolded at around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Atlanta police were alerted about gunfire and a hostage situation aboard Gwinnett County transit bus.
When officers arrived at the scene, the bus sped away and a pursuit ensued.
The suspect reportedly held a gun to the bus driver’s head during a chase that spanned multiple counties.
With at least 17 passengers onboard, the bus crashed into several vehicles and overcame attempts by law enforcement to end the pursuit, including the deployment of spike strips and a high-stakes PIT maneuver.
Footage of the chase was captured by witnesses and news cameras.

The bus eventually came to a stop at around 5:15 p.m. in Stone Mountain, and officers swarmed the vehicle and arrested 39-year-old Joseph Grier.
A male passenger suffering from a gunshot wound was found on the bus and rushed to hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
“The preliminary information indicates on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at about 4:20 p.m., a Gwinnett County Transit bus picked up passengers in downtown Atlanta. Among the passengers that boarded the bus was Grier,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigations explained in a statement released on Wednesday.
“Grier was engaging with passengers on the bus and got into an argument with a male passenger. Grier got into a fight with the male passenger, and the passenger pulled out a gun. Grier took the gun from the passenger and began threatening passengers with it. Grier then shot the passenger and ordered the bus driver to flee the scene while threatening passengers with the gun.”
Grier is a convicted felon with at least 19 prior arrests, according to Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum.
He faces dozens of charges, including murder, 14 counts of kidnapping, 13 counts of aggravated assault, and hijacking motor vehicle.
An investigation is ongoing.
