Debt Rattle July 2 2019

“The rich have gotten richer and they’ve gotten richer faster,”

Welcome to Socialism, suckers. They’ll be setting up Dachas on Long Island and shopping in Zurich while for the good of fellow workers you share a flat and get only 3 shoe sizes. Without government “helping” there’d be competition devouring these guys from the bottom and the happy jobs that go with hammering their empires to powder every day.

“How many decades now? You cannot scare people into spending their savings.”

That’s not the point, the point is above. You make up some, any dumb excuse, however disproven and implausible, pay off any college you have to, just so long as your “stimulus” policy stimulates the rich getting richer faster. Step three: Profit! Retire into riches like Tony Blair.

“Moon Calls DMZ Meeting End to North Korea-US Hostile Relations (Y.)”

Cheeto attacked relentlessly for daring to promote peace. Hey, you know what that does for profits, never mind control??? We didn’t attack 25 nations since Bush Sr, 15 under Obama alone trample human rights worldwide and create an open-air slave market to have peace break out now.

On the other side, they were attacking Gabbard with the claim that her anti-war, pro-peace position was actually a Republican, Conservative value. No joke. …And that means what? Yes, that constant unending war against everyone is now officially a Democratic, Progressive value. How times change.

Meanwhile, the real point of this publicity stunt was missed: it says that despite near-constant calls for Trump’s assassination, the Deep State is so fundamentally powerless, they couldn’t assassinate him even in a killing field between two armies of fully-armed snipers, surrounded by mortars and short range missiles. No accidents, no scares, nothing. They probably didn’t even know it was planned, since KJI and DJT send sealed paper letters to each other, also mocked, intentionally misreported. And that means that now, when Obama and Kerry tour planet earth attempting to negotiate with Iran and Palestine instead of the legitimate government, nobody will listen to them. How times change from two years ago.

However, he probably still controls less than 30% of government. Sure as heck the PEOPLE aren’t in control of it.

“New York Governor Cuomo Orders Probe into Facebook’s Advertising Platform (R.)”

My guess is he’s investigating why they’re not biased enough against peace and conservatives. They did promise this week they would definitely and definitively interfere to rig both the census and the 2020 election. That’s the whole point of the public-“private” partnership. (wait: wouldn’t that make them not “private” anymore?? Logic. Details.) It’s to let CORPORATIONS do all the totally illegal, biased personal attacks and illegal debanking on the basis of creed and color that are illegal under the law and the Constitution (but I repeat myself). Because Muh, Private Corporations. Who somehow are still private when get all their money, special legal protection, and direction from the government. Oh and are private billionaires. Because handing all power to unaccountable oligarchic billionaires is a Progressive value now or something. It’s hard to keep up.

Anyway, on the “divide and conquer”, “make the peasants attack each other like ‘bum fights’ while we sit up here and laugh” plan, Facebook breaks every law and is never prosecuted for the 100,000 laws they JUST broke in NY, but are instead “probed” for the possibility of new bribes and go-ahead-and-rape payments like the ones Weinstein paid to Cuomo and the Manhattan D.A., and only, ever for race race race race race. Because if they break 10,000 laws, steal billions, set up monopolies, and gather blackmail but are NOT promoting race riots and race tensions, we just can’t be bothered. We haven’t enforced the law in 50 years and we’re sure not starting now.

But this plan, which I propose has been planned as the endgame and kept simmering with endless effort since 1963, is going pretty well. The anti-racist, tolerant, Progressive freedom fighters are openly beating gay, Asian, immigrant reporters in the streets, and corralling and eliminating orthodox Jews online. Because: Tolerance! It’s a scam, people, don’t believe the hype. It’s all about fighting each other so they can escape with the $50 Trillion. And the joy of watching the world burn, of course.

And sold to undermine and disempower you, with your own efforts. And they cheer, vote, and donate to the salesmen, because they sell them The Feels™.

I think both of these guys are smart and realistic, and sense that a change in tack is needed now, to better serve their​ oligarchic​ interests, as global winds change.
This is tactical. They are not different from last week. The unipolar​ “New American Century”​ moment passed away, and they realize that the globalist financial/military/intelligence empire is in the process of restructuring.
They are declaring “Swiss ​Bank ​Neutrality”.
​ ​A new Boston Globe article titled “In an astonishing turn, George Soros and Charles Koch team up to end US ‘forever war’ policy” reports that the two influential billionaires have chipped in a half a million dollars apiece to start a new DC think tank with the goal of doing the exact opposite of the sort of thing that billionaire-funded DC think tanks normally do…
​ ​“In concrete terms, this means the Quincy Institute will likely advocate a withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and Syria; a return to the nuclear deal with Iran; less confrontational approaches to Russia and China; an end to regime-change campaigns against Venezuela and Cuba; and sharp reductions in the defense budget,” the article reads…
​ ​T​he term “think tank” almost always refers to a group of academics hired by plutocrats to come up with reasons why it is very good and smart to do something very evil and stupid, and then to market those reasons at key points of influence. They are key tools of narrative management for the billionaire class, and the interests of the billionaire class are rarely in alignment with those of ordinary people. This is especially true when said billionaires are operating in a bipartisan manner.

New Soros/Koch-Funded Think Tank Claims To Oppose US Forever War

​The real work must be between the “Koreas”. Trump’s step and handshake may be more effective outside the US.​
SEOUL, July 2 (Yonhap) — President Moon Jae-in said Tuesday that North Korea and the United States have effectively declared an end to their hostile relations with the symbolic weekend meeting between their leaders at the inter-Korean border.
​ ​Although they did not sign any document, their action was tantamount to a “de facto declaration of an end to hostile relations and the beginning of a full-fledged peace era,” Moon stressed, speaking at a Cabinet meeting.
​ ​He was referring to a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un at the truce village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on Sunday.
​ ​Trump even stepped over into North Korea, together with Kim, becoming the first sitting American president to set foot in the communist nation. The U.S. and North Korea fought fiercely against each other during the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended in an armistice. The two Koreas remain technically at war, as a formal peace treaty has yet to be signed.
​ ​Moon had a brief three-way meeting with Kim and Trump at Panmunjom, although he stayed away from their talks, which lasted for nearly an hour.

Trump presumably had a good meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin which likely set the stage for his meeting with Chairman Kim Jong-un. Remember Kim met with Putin earlier this year and designated him as his go-between with Trump after the talks in Hanoi fell apart. This event should not be downplayed. Trump showed great humility and generosity towards Kim at the moment of truth. We should be cheering this regardless of what we think of him personally. Diplomacy is not groveling. It is the acknowledgment of the other person’s basic humanity, a fundamental point lost in the political cesspit that is D.C. Because of his previous mistakes and belligerence, only Trump could have made the walk across the DMZ to meet Kim on his territory.

​ ​Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who met individually with President Trump at the G20 in Osaka, have been singing from the same sheet of Korea music — particularly in the wake of Xi’s visit to North Korea on June 20-21. Putin’s remarks are the most illuminating.
​ ​In an interview with The Financial Times, Putin pointed to “the tragedies of Libya and Iraq” — meaning, of course, what happened to each of them as they lacked a nuclear deterrent. Applying that lesson to North Korea, Putin said,
​ ​“What we should be talking about is not how to make North Korea disarm, but how to ensure the unconditional security of North Korea and how to make any country, including North Korea, feel safe and protected by international law. …”

RAY McGOVERN: Hope for a Breakthrough in Korea

​Who gained and who lost from the Democratic Party debates?
Polls of likely Democratic voters leaned heavily to Kamala Harris (who gut stabbed “front-runner” Joe Biden to demonstrate her dominance).
The Google-search results of the 2 nights had Tulsi (Is she a Democrat?) Gabbard leading as the debate proceeded the first night, and beautiful-power-lizard Kamala wearing the necklace of shrunken heads after the second night.
Consequently, as of now, the likeliest winner of the Democratic nomination is Kamala Harris, who would then become a second Barack Obama, not merely in the sense that she is a light-skinned Black, but that she is an enormously gifted politician who is in the pockets of that Party’s billionaires. Pete Buttigieg had been trying to be that, but his style isn’t even nearly as effective as hers is…
​ What is particularly striking there is that in these results, one candiate, Harris, is also the likeliest to win the Party’s nomination, but the other, Tulsi Gabbard, scores dismally low in the (voting Democrats) polled figures:
Gabbard before debates 0.7%, after 1st debate 0.6%, after second debate 0.7%
What all this suggests is that, whereas possibly the strongest general-election candidate against Trump would be Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, who is one of the billionaires’ candidates, also might be. A voter in the Democratic Party primaries who is mainly concerned about beating Trump should be supporting either of those two candidates to become that Party’s nominee. As regards what criteria that person would be applying, no intelligent voter any longer trusts a candidate’s mere words, but instead votes on the basis of that person’s existing record of actual actions as a public official. And, of course, a part of that record is the politician’s current policy regarding acceptance of PAC money, and the politician’s record of largest donors, especially in the latest campaign.

Who Gained and Who Lost from the Democratic Party Debates?

@ sumac.carol

Yes, we have no ticks in our area. But there are ticks in Thailand; just not in our area.
I dealt with them in N.Y., and Oregon though; bad news allround.
Here we just have mosquito’s; two varieties in our area (west central) one of which carries dengue and a couple of other bugs, the names of which I cannot remember.
Ticks; very bad news; take care and be vigilant…

Tolerance! It’s a scam, people, don’t believe the hype. It’s all about fighting each other so they can escape with the $50 Trillion. And the joy of watching the world burn, of course.

The more I understand, the more this capsule summary has the ring of truth. A nadir in the trajectory of civilization when such wickedness can amass such power.

Its wrong for the news media to keep running this insulting video.

The separation of global corporations from reality has become crazy funny. Nike pulls their July 4th shoes because they have a Betsy Ross flag on the heel that celebrates the 18th century founding of a slave nation according to social media. The Dollar Bill is next.

Julian Castro says his family never spoke Spanish while growing up because of oppression. Second generation of immigrants like my Mom who had to learn English in First Grade were maltreated. Meanwhile, the Elite ignore the homeless, the sick, and debt slaves who are abused today. All to avoid the truth that life expectancy is decreasing, get votes and get richer.

Boeing retired its engineers and outsourced design, coding and manufacturing to increase profits. Only after the second crash did overseas aviation regulators recognize that the 737 Max’s computer trim control system was flight critical. Boeing didn’t acknowledge it had problem after killing 346 people; let alone, know how the fix it. The identification of a second software flaw by FAA pilots will delay recertification at least into next year. Military Contractors like Boeing are at the top of the pyramid. They have bought the politicians below to keep the endless wars going and the money rolling in. Similarly, the fossil fuel industry’s profits come from supplying energy that harms humans and degrades the environment from its extraction, shipping and use. Only Tulsi Gabbard is an anti-war candidate. Not Kamala Harris for whom open borders and racial politics are a means to gain more wealth for her family. Donald Trump is neutering the EPA to increase corporate exploitation.

Facing facts: No one leaves home unless forced. The best birth control program is the education of women. Men need jobs and a purpose in life. The only fix is the restoration of democracy and the redistribution of wealth.
