The Spirit of Caesar Nero


Fire Sale of its BIGGEST Building Gives Socialist Portland City Council BRUTAL LESSON in Taxes

Property taxes generate about half the tax revenue that the city collects. When buildings and homes are sold at fire sale prices it allows all property holders to reassess the value of their property and a reduction in the assessed value equals a reduction in the tax revenue on the property.

A building that was bought for $373 million sold for $45 million. This reduces the amount of property tax that can be collected on that one building by 68%. This property was a marque property and affects the property value on 300,000 other properties!

Now you can think the city government of Portland is the three stooges, or you can think that the puppeteer behind the curtain pulling the strings is Caesar Nero and wants to buy up Portland for pennies on the dollar.
This is bad, but it gets worse!

This sale applies to property tax collected in 2024! So commercial buildings can all apply for a refund from taxes paid in 2024, and that refund could be quite significant. So now Portland is being squeezed at both ends, they are going to collect significantly less in tax revenue in 2025 and at the same time they are collecting less they will also have to pay out a significant refund from money they don't have.

And yet it gets worse

Portland will be swamped with appeals on property tax and they don't have the manpower to do the assessments. If one person is appealing they have to pay the lawyer, but if 2,000 businesses are appealing it can be a class action suit.

UB Ready -- VISION-- THE SHOW HAS BEGUN

VISION: Today while in prayer, I heard the Lord speak these words to me, "The show has begun." I was then given a vision where I found myself standing beside a huge circus tent. As I started walking towards the open doorway, I heard a carnival barker who was shouting loudly through a megaphone. He was standing beside the tent and shouting out, "Ladies and Gentlemen! Come one! Come all! Get your seats now to the greatest show on earth!" I then found myself standing inside the giant tent. As the last few people entered in, I looked around and noticed that there wasn't an empty seat in the house. All the seats were now filled. I looked towards the center of the tent and observed three rings - a large ring in the center with two smaller rings on each side. In the small ring on the left side, there were a dozen or so clowns all jumping, dancing, and hopping around, doing silly things and keeping the crowd amused and laughing. In the small ring on the right side, there were animal acts - a bear riding a red bicycle around in circles, a large leopard-type cat jumping on various sized crates, and a large, colorful parrot who was squawking out all manner of vulgarities and curse words. In the large, main center ring was a man who appeared to be a ring master, dressed in a very nice tuxedo with a top hat on his head. I observed this man walk over to a very ornate desk in the center of the ring and take a seat behind the desk. He then pulled a book out of his jacket and began to read it out loud to the crowd. On the desk was a computer with three monitors arranged in a semi-circle around the computer. The ring master seemed to get very upset while reading the book, and he then started angrily ripping pages out of it and setting them on fire. With that, the clowns noticed the fire and came running over to put out the fire with a water hose. But instead of water coming out of the hose, gasoline came pouring out, and the fire grew worse. Then the bear from the ring on the right quickly ran over and knocked the book out of the ring master's hand. The book hit the floor, landing with the cover facing up so I could see the title that was written on it. The title of the book was The Constitution of the United States of America. All of the people in the audience clapped, laughed, and cheered, thinking it was all part of the show. My attention was then drawn to the monitors that were on the desk. I noticed one monitor showing scenes of war. Another one displaying bombs exploding and fires burning. And on the third one, there were people running for their lives from all the destruction that was happening. The ring master got up from the chair very slowly and grabbed one of the baseball bats that had been left by one of the clowns. He then struck each monitor with the bat, destroying them one by one. All three rings were full of activity, keeping all of the people mesmerized. Things were happening so fast that nobody knew what was coming next. THEN THE WHOLE TENT WENT COMPLETELY BLACK. Suddenly, a blinding light exploded through the darkness from above, filling the whole tent with a solid beam of light coming down from the center top of the tent. The beam of light hit the floor, and a form suddenly appeared. It looked like a man, about ten feet tall, with outstretched wings extending at least 10 feet on each side. This being was a mighty angel, fully clad in heavenly armor, glowing, glistening, reflecting, and radiating light in all directions. As the light from him hit the faces of the people in the audience, I saw fear and shock on each and every face. The mighty angel held a giant sword in his right hand, pointing it straight upwards towards the top of the tent. Then he spoke with a loud, booming voice, declaring: "WITH THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF JESUS THE CHRIST - I TELL YOU NOW - THE SHOW HAS BEGUN!!!!" Then, just as suddenly, he was gone, and all was dark again. The vision ended.
 
Massive fraud in the SNAP program

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/sn...oReport&src_src=partner&src_cmp=BonginoReport

Maybe they will require people to be vetted a second time before allowing them to resume benefits. This doesn't mean they have to bring in their documents a second time, only that they check that they have all the necessary documents. If they can reduce the number of recipients by 20% it would not only save us money it would also cause many illegals to self deport.

Circus & clowns seems apropos.

I'm more than a bit leery about these visions and prophecies, though times are indeed very interesting.

The depth and extent of the non-American radicalism has finally been sufficiently revealed leaving no doubt where it wants to go. At least the 1960's coming full circle. The question seems to be to what extent will America go to shut down and disallow the overthrow from within? It's not like this discussion just started. Many have known for ages - actually since inception - that this could or would be our main potential downfall.

US Posts Most October Layoffs in More Than 20 Years

Overview of layoffs in the US
 
  • Amazon: In late October 2025, Amazon announced plans to eliminate 14,000 corporate roles, a move the company says will make it leaner and more focused on AI innovation. The cuts are among the largest in the company's history.
  • UPS: Also in October 2025, United Parcel Service disclosed it has cut approximately 48,000 jobs during the year, citing turnaround efforts and wider changes in its business. This included 34,000 operational positions and 14,000 management roles.
  • Target: The retail giant announced a restructuring in October 2025 that would eliminate 1,800 corporate positions globally, representing about 8% of its corporate workforce. The company noted the need to streamline operations and reduce bureaucracy.
  • Intel: Throughout 2025, the chipmaker has shed thousands of jobs as it works to revive its business and catch up with rivals. In July, it confirmed plans to lay off more than 5,000 employees across four US states, mainly in its Foundry division.
  • Meta: In October 2025, it was reported that the tech company was reducing its workforce by 8,000 employees as part of its "year of efficiency". CEO Mark Zuckerberg had signaled in January 2025 that the company would "exit low-performers".
    ConocoPhillips: The oil and gas producer announced in September 2025 that it would cut up to 25% of its global workforce as part of a major restructuring and cost-cutting effort. This could impact as many as 2,950 positions.
Oh, the irony — talking about AI when studier was the one actually using it. You can’t make this stuff up. See post #1092 on the linked thread. ;)
