    Paul Cézanne Bibémus quarry 1898-1900
    The beginnings of cubism; well, a quarry would certainly qualify as a starting point. 😉

    Males are becoming bio-feminized, infertile, sick and depressed because of health and education corruption. The corruption of healthcare and education is 100 years old, which is the same age as socialism, feminism, and the private bank capture of public credit.

    Look, no matter how it cuts; we’re screwed!
    It’s been so corrupt for so long; the reset, if there is one, will dump 10’s (100’s?) of millions on the garbage heap of the 21st century.
    I would venture that emerging and remaining third world countries will emerge far better than the spoiled masses of the first world economies.
    Unfortunately…we’ll see…

    “[He] set the economics community aflame by suggesting that he will appoint [a] businessman”

    Wow, including a single person who’s ever run a business is this much of a threat? Doesn’t that define the term “Ivory Tower”?

    “Nunes Sends AG Barr Eight Criminal Referrals for Leaks (G.)”

    Three years later we might be looking into something about something to arrest somebody for something. …And this is their Top Secret, super-duper classified national security stuff. Meanwhile a sailor got 3 years in prison for taking a photo of a ship that he didn’t share with anyone. A certain man is serving 8 years in solitary for NOT leaking info, but for publicizing what others had leaked TO him. And so far exactly –zero—have been arrested. One guy, a millionaire civil servant from a life-long six-figure income, inconveniently lost his pension. Wake me up when anyone is serious, or a flicker of justice can be spotted like a robin in spring.

    “Theresa May Forced To Delay Brexit After Historic Win For MPs (G.)”

    It was always May’s intention to delay Brexit as a means of stopping it. She just doesn’t want to be blamed. So again, Britain is still in the EU, paying billions and obeying all 100,000 new laws, but now has no representation or leverage. Huzzah democracy!

    “IMF Economist Warns On Australia Property Slide (AFR)”

    Huzzah, your children can now afford houses! Hip, hip, Hurray! Why is no one cheering with me? Aren’t lower prices for consumer products a good thing? If not, why don’t we triple the price of toothpaste and petrol? We can start an economic toiletries boom, leveraged 300:1 on deodorant!

    “US Proposes New Tariffs on EU Products Over Airbus Subsidies (AFP)”

    The trouble with Capitalism. Oh wait, the OPPOSITE of capitalism, where every nation merges with and subsidizes their private corporations at the expense of all the other nations. And as you say, once they start, there’s no end. Before long it’s six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and see thou don’t touch the oil and the wine. Corollary: since everybody is playing these games – China and Europe most of all – there is no Free Trade, and therefore the U.S. cannot have Free Trade either. That means deals and tariffs as best we can, because they’re all politicians, villains, who look out for their own interests and can’t be trusted. I just want them to stop lying about it since no one has ever had free trade or ever intended to have free trade in the first place.

    “The pollution was so severe in places that the ditchwater itself could have been used as a pesticide.”

    In my experience, true. And therefore every frog, fish, turtle, and Christopher Robin in every river from Three Forks to Baton Rouge, from the Kemble to the Nore is soaking in carcinogens. Wonder why everyone is ill and has cancer, such a mystery! Probably the chips they’re eating, naughty peasants! Might be a better article than plastics from highly-regulated sewage plants. The story is, you can’t do bad things to those other guys, those pests and germs, without doing them to yourself. There is no “other” on planet earth, only “us”.

    “1000s of highly sophisticated satellites in orbit but they still need climbers to measure a mountain.”

    Yes, and all those satellites are claiming they know about global warming sea levels within a centimeter, but they can’t tell the height of the world’s largest mountain within 50 feet. Maybe they should take a refresher course in science class on ‘margin of error.’

    Yes NooB, we’re a Death Cult of JK Rowling DeathEaters.

    Would somebody like to stop supporting and empowering these people now? Just because they’re mentally ill doesn’t mean we have to do as they say.

    As a public service, I just wanted to warn everybody against watching a couple of videos that really should have been censored by now, but evidently they still linger. Hopefully they’ll be removed soon and you’ll no longer be at risk.

    Now I feel better because I’ve “done something.”

    I’m sure Ilargi and NoBoob can relate.

    Dr. D “There is no “other” on planet earth, only “us”. ”

    Seeking the best possible understanding of this statement– ethically, morally, scientifically, spiritually, etc.–should be a foundational aspect of all human endeavour. Also, a great slogan for sweatshirts, bumper-stickers, entry-ways, coffee mugs and so on.

    From that Wolf Street article:

    But who, outside of corporations buying back their own shares, was buying shares?

    Foreign investors shed $234 billion.
    Pension funds shed $901 billion, possibly to keep asset-class allocations on target as share prices soared.
    Stock mutual funds shed $217 billion.
    Life insurers added 61 billion
    Households added $223 billion.

    The net effect of these investor groups is that they together shed $1.1 trillion of shares (included in these categories, and spread over them, are ETFs). But the $1.1 trillion of shares that these investor groups shed over those five years was overpowered by $2.95 trillion of share buybacks over those five years.

    Wow, the only (net) buyers are households (by a large majority) and life insurers. Looks like the households could be left holding the bag.

    Question: With $2.95 trillion of share buybacks, but only $1.1 trillion sold by those investor groups during the same period, then from whom did the corporations acquire the remaining $1.85 trillion of shares for their buybacks?

    “I thought they’d already gotten rid of everyone even a little sympathetic to him.”

    They had. This is just a ginned-up out of nothing action supposedly taken against somebody on the staff (yeah, so prove it), but total BS, with the sole purpose of continuing the narrative that Assange is a poisonous, corrupting influence who is violating the terms of his asylum in the embassy. Give me a break! There isn’t one truthful syllable that comes out of any member of the current Ecuadorian leadership with respect to Assange, nor will there be.

    There is no “other” on planet earth, only “us”. ”

    This is an old-ee but a good-ee, which never fails to fascinate me:

    https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-human-microbiome-project-defines-normal-bacterial-makeup-body

    “The human body contains trillions of microorganisms — outnumbering human cells by 10 to 1. Because of their small size, however, microorganisms make up only about 1 to 3 percent of the body’s mass (in a 200-pound adult, that’s 2 to 6 pounds of bacteria), but play a vital role in human health.”

    So enjoy your lunch, especially if it happened to be free, but remember its mainly for “those others” not for you.
