    Ya know; I start thinking I’ve seen/read the thing I’ll comment on; but as I read down the long list of things of import; I get lost; not remembering the first thing, and the second, and then the third; it’s like I get lost in the mist of the daily reality…
    So, by the end I’m totally lost in the immensity of the daily grind…
    Good on ya Ilargi, for keeping it all straight and in order…

    “ NY Post Editorial Board Names Eric Ciaramella as Whistleblower (ZH) “

    Again and again the illogic, but in a land dedicated to the religion of #AntiLogos, no one can tell or knows things even SHOULD have logic. So we don’t know who the whistleblower is, then we can call whoever we want as a witness. We call Ciaramella. What? Why not? So therefore you DO know who it is, and YOU are the one who just outed him with your defense and confirmation. But another day, another lie, another fantasy, that he’s been outed everywhere, by everybody, but like abused, battered children, have to pretend we don’t. K.

    “Labour Voters ‘Defected Over Corbyn, Not Brexit’ (Ind.) “

    Kind of. It was a savage blowout election. However, they are repudiating a Labour that’s done nothing for decades and specifically since the referendum, which mocks the north and other downtrodden, repudiating Socialism, but that represented best by Corbyn personally. If they were into Socialism, Corbyn wouldn’t have been an issue. Same here. If they savage Warren as seems likely, it’s not Warren personally, she’s just another dumb jerk and just the face of a system of plans and beliefs the people have desperately trying to say they don’t want. …Just like U.K. and Brexit. Can you hear me now?

    However, this article, like all articles by all communist journalists from London (but I repeat myself) cannot in any way admit that what the whole of the British people hated was THEM. Their bad, harmful, disproven beliefs, as well as them personally as an afterthought. Look for more disingenuous heiney-covering where they will say ANYTHING on earth except that people are done with socialism, as a general cycle, predictable and predicted by Armstrong.

    The blowout attacks ON the British public were breathtaking. They attacked British voters as racists, fascists, and far worse, while apologizing to the “real” people of Britain, the Muslims and immigrants. No joke, wish I were. So apparently the people they LIKE are anyone non-British, and the people they HATE are anyone and anything that IS British. …As if we all didn’t know, but you’re not supposed to ADMIT you hate Britain, Britons, and all things and principles British as worthy of being annihilated. Why? Because then your vote and your party will be annihilated. As just occurred, and will likely occur here. Don’t mean to be so harsh, but nothing seemed to be drawing the left back into the moderate, milquetoast moderate center Britons are known for, and parties, like the dreadful Jo “it’s-funny-when-men-die” Swinson lost her seat and her party may die. You’d think that would make an impression and it did, but here we are a day later, denial has kicked in and they’re thinking of not changing again, the true definition of a zealot, or of doing the same thing over and over, of a lunatic.

    They’re lucky Britons are so incredibly tolerant, patient, and long-suffering that they got this far against every will and expression of the people since, heaven knows, at least Tony Blair.

    “ The State of the Canadian Debt Slaves (WS) “

    I wonder how this compares to Toronto vs the Maritimes. Don’t see how anyone outside of Toronto and Vancouver could get any credit.

    But not China, which doesn’t and never has.

    Lawyers Complain About Lack Of Access To Julian Assange In Jail (PA)

    So again, if Assange and his team have NOT lost their mind, what possible condition would make this system of facts make sense? That he cannot move for his own safety, yet is waiting for something right now and doesn’t need lawyers or THIS defense to move forward?

    What’s up with Assange’s legal team? A long article from Mediapart (published in August, and translated from French), titled The Ghost Lawyers of Julian Assange, looks at this issue.

    In court, there are procedures. Recourse. Jurisprudence. I swear, I swear! There are even procedural defects; illegal acts committed by prosecutors, Parquet, Crown Prosecution Services. We would never dare thinking that the Daughty Street Chambers, a venerable human rights institution, an unfathomable reserve of lawyers who delivered to Assange Geoffrey Robertson, one of its founders, Jennifer Robinson, Amal Clooney, Gareth Peirce, John Jones, do not know enough international law, national laws, jurisprudence? The barristors of Daughty Street Chambers and their international reinforcement would have forgotten the dictator, criminal and torturer Augusto Pinochet, escaping prison for reasons …. of health condition ? Remember, it was happening in a well-known western city ; in an island separated from a continent by an arm of the sea; a continent that contains Sweden. Bingo! It was in London, in the year 2000.

    The other founder of Doughty Street Chambers of course was Keir Starmer (now “Sir” Keir), who would very much like to take over the leadership of the UK Labour Party from Corbyn.

    Keir Starmer is/was the man responsible for Labour’s Brexit policy – the one that lost them the election just now.

    He used to be the Director of the Crown Prosecution Service at the exact time that the CPS was urging Sweden to not “get cold feet” on continuing to push for the extradition of Assange at a time when Sweden was saying there was no “there” there.

    Many people think that Jen Robinson is “Julian Assange’s Lawyer”, mostly because she is often introduced that way at her many public appearances. But, his lawyer for what? His lawyers on the extradition are solicitor Gareth Pierce and Barrister Mark Summers QC.

    Jen Robinson is from Doughty Street Chambers. Just a few days ago she was retweeting Sir Keir Starmer’s tweets urging people to vote Labour.

    Political freedom is essential and everyone can vote how they want, but with Assange the issue is not and must not be used in any way as a partisan plaything. And yet….

    Everything is good. Don’t worry.

    Everywhere that we look, the social/economic systems are still functioning
    The rich gamblers in the stock market are still enjoying riding the bubbles.
    The system is still pretending that we still have our savings and that they are growing because our advisors tell us that our saving have been wisely invested.

    To balance the impeachment drama, I’m going to watch the Xmas la-la-land reruns.

    Excellent catch, Doc.

    From yesterday, suddenly fixing trade:

    “but this situation is too critical at this point and I fear that if someone does not blink here, we are headed into a global political contagion.

    This is why a deal had to be tentatively arranged with China on trade. There are politicians out of the loop and this whole thing which is way too far above their heads to even grasp an understanding.” –Martin Armstrong, https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/markets-by-sector/interest-rates/trump-fed-meet-why/

    It’s probably much bigger than this, but imagine if they told Congress DeutscheBank or ICBC was going down. Even if they shut up for the sake of the planet, unlikely, Congress would immediately insider-trade on it and through their trades indicate to their brokers what and who it was anyway. You think you can get out of your rigged system with more rigging? I say who cares, let it burn, but others won’t.

    The system that is based on #AntiLogos, and its AntiTruth is a fragile system indeed.

    Desperate acts by clueless people
    It was a surprise that QE and NIRP “worked” by staving off collapse for the past decade. It will be absolutely shocking if the coming, even more extreme experiments do the same. So expect the above and a lot more when things get really crazy, including central bank equity purchases, capital controls, wealth taxes, and maybe even price controls. Everything will be on the table and none of it will work.

    2 articles on the Swedish PR firm behind Greta. Which made some $2 million to date off of using her name and image. Discrepancies in timelines too.

    But I was looking for non-Swedish PR people.

    On Durham, Flynn’s attorney, Sydney, has said that Durham will bring indictments starting in January with no need to release the report until the Summer. Let’s hope that he does.

    Canadian mortgage debt is really quite worrying in the Toronto and Vancouver areas. In the Maritime province and Quebec, not so much – house prices never really inflated to the same extent.

    I have been reading Mr Turner’s stuff for years
