Tuesday Night Fleming RV Update
Tue, Dec 29 at 8:21 PM [Forwarded from Nick Fleming]
Our military intel contact said he would try to answer questions in next 12-24 hrs—he said he’s busy but his info is still looking at start sometime in the 2nd half of this week though some Military Spec Op (SOF) missions have had to be completed first & have been underway arresting & taking out Deep State bad guys in response to the Nashville bomb last Fri 25 Dec, which was an overt threat by Deep State half-wits to threaten the RV release
(Bombing an RV recreational vehicle was an unmistakable reference to POTUS’s public mention of the RV revaluation release by talking about RV recreational vehicles in the Rose Garden address of Fri 5 June and the Deep State Nashville RV recreational vehicle bombing conspiracy last Fri 25 Dec was a threat to POTUS if he continued to release the RV, he said)
Then he said it WON’T WORK, RV STILL BEING RELEASED;
The Top States Everyone Is Leaving And Where Are They Going, Record Permanent Chain Store Closings
Silver Report Uncut: Dec 30, 2020
Everyone is moving to Texas these days and not just people all of the companies and it's likely these areas may enjoy a huge economic rush from so many productive citizens now want to call their state home.
The reason cited by many businesses for their move to Florida or Texas was the high taxes and yet they still aren't done thinking of new ones. Here is the real problem because it is the wealthy who are leaving and the states that have the highest outflows are New York, Illinois, California, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Arizona was another state that showed a very strong interest and came in at number 3 following FL and TX. The rate at which large corporations have been closing is truly unprecedented in its scale.
There have been more than 1,000 prominent large chain store closures so far this year and with e-commerce enjoying all of the gains it will be difficult to watch how many make it to the other side of this recession.
NYC has seen record chain store closings this year as many companies find that business in NY no longer makes sense.
