California overtakes Japan to become 4TH Largest Economy in the world!

Germany is within reach, and in a month or so, California is expected to rank third, only behind the USA and China. With Trump wrecking the USA economy, I expect millions of business-oriented immigrants and other Americans to trekking to CA in the years to come, which will balloon the economy!

California's economy has overtaken that of the country of Japan, making the US state the fourth largest global economic force.

Governor Gavin Newsom touted new data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the US Bureau of Economic Analysis showing California's growth.

The data shows California's gross domestic product (GDP) hit $4.10 trillion (£3.08 trillion) in 2024, surpassing Japan, which was marked at $4.01 trillion. The state now only trails Germany, China and the US as a whole.

"California isn't just keeping pace with the world - we're setting the pace," Newsom said.


The new figures come as Newsom has spoken out against President Donald Trump's tariffs and voiced concern about the future of the state's economy.

California has the largest share of manufacturing and agricultural production in the US. It is also home to leading technological innovation, the centre of the world's entertainment industry and the country's two largest seaports.

Newsom, a prominent Democrat and possible presidential candidate in 2028, filed a lawsuit challenging Trump's authority to impose the levies, which have caused disruption to global markets and trade.

Trump has enacted 10% levies on almost all countries importing to the US, after announcing a 90-day pause on higher tariffs.

Another 25% tariff was imposed on Mexico and Canada. The levies on China, however, have led to an all-out trade war with the world's second largest economy.

Trump imposed import taxes of up to 145% on Chinese goods coming into the US and China hit back with a 125% tax on American products.

His administration said last week that when the new tariffs were added on to existing ones, the levies on some Chinese goods could reach 245%.

Newsom noted his worries about the future of the state's economy.

"While we celebrate this success, we recognise that our progress is threatened by the reckless tariff policies of the current federal administration," he said. "California's economy powers the nation, and it must be protected."

Trump has argued his trade war is only levelling the playing field after years of the US being taken advantage of.

The tariffs are an effort to encourage factories and jobs to return to the US. It is one major pillar of his economic agenda, as is a cut in interest rates, aimed at reducing the cost of borrowing for Americans.

The new data shows California's GDP behind the US at $29.18 trillion, China at $18.74 trillion and Germany at $4.65 trillion. It also shows California was the fastest growing among those countries.

Japan's economy is under pressure because of its decreasing and ageing population, which means its workforce is shrinking and social care costs are ballooning.

This week, the IMF cut its economic growth forecast for Japan and projected that the central bank would raise interest rates more slowly than previously expected because of the impact of higher tariffs.

"The effect of tariffs announced on April 2 and associated uncertainty offset the expected strengthening of private consumption with above-inflation wage growth boosting household disposable income," its World Economic Outlook report said

Poor Japan has shrunk from 6 to 4T in 20 years thanks to deflation and population decline.

Trump is slowly weakening California and the US economy. If Kamala had won, CA would be have been 3rd Largest Economy in 2025-2026; now the State may slide to 5th again

While California has recently surpassed Germany in nominal GDP, the 2026 comparison is uncertain due to conflicting economic forecasts, with some projections indicating California will drop in ranking and Germany's GDP will likely be higher. As of early 2025, California's nominal GDP reached $4.1 trillion, and Germany's was approximately $4.65 trillion or $5 trillion depending on the source, with California projected to be overtaken by India in 2026.

"The US unemployment rate could be as high as 40%"


What's amazing to me is despite my (and many other people's) warnings over 20 years ago, well-meaning people still take anything the US guv, Fed or MSM (Mainstream media) says seriously!

But one doesn't even need to get to the fudged US economic stats to get to the truth. They only need to look all around them in anytown USA to see that America is toast!

https://we3travel.com/15-american-cities-that-are-crumbling-before-our-eyes-and-whats-causing-it/

By the way. Even the African American population numbers are fudged drastically downwards. It's insanity to believe that given our prodigious reproduction rate as Africans, Hamirikwa is the only former slaveholding country where the blacks did not become an overwhelming majority  . Look at all the Caribbean countries. All ruled by bleks. Even in Brazil where blacks -- officially -- are "only 10 percent of the population," what's left out of that narrative is that another 45+ percent is "mixed" which means black, basically. Thus nyeuthis are the majority there. And even those numbers can't be fully trusted, the black population there is probably more!
Bottom line, dunia inacheswa kucheswo. Sadly, most peeps who watch the MSM, and read all the propaganda in the books and from their governments are too robotic to think. The school systems programme them to believe being the best memorizer and regurgitator makes you the smartest person in the room!  They just regurgitate skwaaaaaaa whatever it is the MSM and the books say, no matter how nonsensical it is! When they're told Hamirikwa is the richest country in human history and the most advanced blah blah blah yet the 120 year old subways in NYC - the most important city in the US -- are crumbling and rat infested, they don't see any disconnect there!

NYC has a rat czar

NYC has a rat czar

Yep. You can't make this stuff up! Even from watching these well-curated ABCnews clips on one of THE WORST RAT INFESTATIONS in any country in human history, you would think it's not a major problem at all. Everyone is all smiles and chuckles, Mayor and team inclusive  . If this was Nairobi, Kenya, you could imagine all the shocking news clips about the "dirty rat infested African city of Keenyah" that would be splashed to global headline heights over the same! Yet NYC is supposed to be in a first world country!

And that's just the beginning of the deception plaguing (pun fully intended) the American sheeple

Who's the manufacturer of the "rat contraceptive" -- (Contrapest) -- you may ask? None other than SenesTech.
Who's one of the largest shareholders in the same? None other than Vanguard, a Rothschild-Rockefeller front company much like BlackRock.
Look what Senestech itself says about Contrapest;



ContraPest does not sterilize rats permanently; therefore, a continuous supply of the product is required to be effective

As I said, you can't make this stuff up! Just another cynical scheme to milk the American public of billions of dollars yet - like the so called Coronavax - and many more other schemes before it, there's ZERO credible evidence to show that it actually works. But I have to hand it to them, their evil genius is impressive. They know the average Hamerikwan has never even heard of Senestech (notice even the name Contrapest is not used in the curated TV report, obviously in a quest to limit further scrutiny) and cannot think for themselves, so they won't dig deeper to find out what's really going on even as the rat population continues to explode exponentially each year with no end in sight!

Ni hayo tu.

Rothschild... what! Are the Jews to blame? They tend to have their hands in the most evil schemes.

NYC is actually the world's no 1 financial center, with London then Hong Kong as distant second and third.

What the "4TH Largest Economy" and such headlines don't tell you is the hidden poverty suffered by many people who can't afford an apartment in Brooklyn or San Francisco. It's what these broken down ghettos and tent cities exemplify. The glaring inequality. The robber barons and landlords are fully in charge.
