    Dorothea Lange Homeless mother and child walking from Phoenix to Imperial County CA Feb 1939
    That is a picture that tells a story; it’s written all over that woman’s face.
    A hard scrabble life, kept alive by hope…
    Why else would she walk from Arizona to mid California with her child?
    True grit that…………

    Oh boy! Let’s rejoice!
    USDA says strong jobs report supports cutting food stamps.
    Do you believe that? I mean; the strong jobs report.
    Well, it’s bullshit! The jobs are not living wages; most minimum wages; but, oh what the hell; let’s cut food stamps; because we can!
    And, it is money better spent on inflated government wages for workers who count; not you rif-raf who are hopeless losers……………………………………………………….

    Abenomics has Failed Japan. Financial Times Wants to Make it Global. (Lacalle)”

    Correlation is not causality. Yes, I believe the BoJ caused the problem, but they were in an unavoidable demographic slowdown…in addition to the generation turning where children never hungry ask “Why am I working 110 hours a week again?” This is why banks need to grow AND shrink, expand AND contract. But leveraged systems cannot contract without collapsing, EVER. It’s just that in gold systems, those weak banks fail, vanish, are bought up, it’s painful, and life goes on. In a fiat system, nobody ever fails, EVER, because that’s Capitalism. Oh wait, I meant the exact OPPOSITE of Capitalism, welfare and socialism for the rich, and austerity and failure for the poor, just like every other time in socialist history.

    Once you get involved and screw it all up, it becomes impossible to tell where, exactly, the screw-ups are anymore – they’re in every market the BoJ touched, with Yen-carry, every market on planet Earth, but you CAN say they’re responsible. …Or catastrophically, fatally, IRresponsible, your choice.

    Thanks to them, both Japan, and its people, are entirely and completely defenseless and unprepared for, say, China to man-handle them. I’m sure the animae grass-eating girly boys will put up a Kamikaze-like sacrifice and defense. Oh, and like here, if you’re the upper half of coastal-land. If you’re the lower half, you’re already dodging gunfire in the streets.

    What the ‘Expert’ Panel Should Have Told You About Impeachment (ET)

    A very must read for the language-drift since 1789. A “High Crime” is a felony. Murder, etc. A “Misdemeanor” or “High Misdemeanor” is a large, not small, breach of fiduciary duty. Embezzlement, commingling, etc. Bribery speaks for itself, but I’d be pretty sure they meant Brib-ee, not Brib-er. Not that it matters, because his other point is, this HAS TO BE UNUSUAL. If every other president and diplomat, leverages, arm-twists, and de-facto bribes foreign nations every day (and they sure do) then it is not a breach of the office, but a continuation of it. …Not to bring up that since they ARE all corrupt, and it IS the common, usual thing, and has been for 50 or 100 years, then you have a problem making a criminal case of it, even when your unauthorized charity that lacks accounting and files no papers, and provides no services, receives a few hundred billion in “donations” each year, but then somehow has no “donations” as soon as you leave office. Or provides no-bid or so-specifically-bid contracts that only one company (Amazon) can possibly receive the dough, who then buy up a paper and soft-peddle the bidder’s line (CIA). Hey, isn’t that bribery? …But nations have solved this before, as with saying “From here forward” or “provide general amnesty” as happened in the Civil War and Prohibition, when Budweiser rolled up a wagonload of fully-finished beer with Clydesdales, the day after liberation. (Libation?)

    He makes the point I make, which is that, so what if if helps him? If it’s his job, there’s obviously no conflict, otherwise he’d have to always do the OPPOSITE of his own beliefs and wishes. And in #OppositeLand, I’m sure that’s no shock. It’s only when he undercuts the well-being of his client, the U.S., that it can apply. …Which is what the detractors said. However, when you can make the argument that looking FOR corruption is good and a duty, and harassing your political opponents is bad and a caution, you have a viable disagreement on public policy, which is debated, then voted through your representative, not impeached. They just disagree on policy, fine, I respect and encourage that, however, you cannot REMOVE for policy disagreements, nor can you thwart it. …I mean, unless you want to go to the streets against a party holding 90% of our 300 million guns. …Which I think they do, suggesting they’ve never read a history book or been in a fistfight.

    A Fraught Moment (Kunstler)”

    Everyone seems to have lost their cool: Kunstler, Tim Pool, Pelosi, Biden. Did they not know it’s been this same way since the 90s? There’s nothing new here except the level and the brazenness. Do they not remember Cheney attacked the whole press, Plame’s CIA, General Shinsaki, and the DIXIE CHICKS of all people, for no reason except they were totally, completely right? At the same time, Mueller attacked a totally innocent scientist and tried to railroad him for chemical weapons and attempted murder. Epstein was setting up shop with an ex-Mossad gal, yet neither the FBI or CIA could find any-old-thing about him when he met with hundreds of protected top-level officials and their expert bodyguard security teams. The movie “Narcos” was on, where Pablo Escobar openly says he moved hundred-billions for the CIA rat-lines through the SWIFT banking system, buys jumbo jets, and nobody can find nothin’. This is when Magintsky and Browder were around and Martin Armstrong was serving 7-to-life for contempt of court because he wouldn’t turn over his trading program to Goldman Sachs. This is when Clinton attacked and then occupied the Serbian oil pipeline and bombed an aspirin factory in Africa. Hey dudes and dudettes, where’ya been? Why lose your mind now, when we can finally talk about it?

    what was the world’s leading law enforcement agency.”

    I’m confused, he says this, then refers to the FBI, an agency set up by J.Edgar to spy on congressmen and other connected people for blackmail and political gain. Is he suggesting there was a single year that wasn’t their mission and purpose? ‘Cause I haven’t seen it.

    FBI teaches its agents never to engage in activity on FBI phones or in a public forum that reveals personal bias.”

    This poor guy believes that is not the specific PURPOSE of the FBI, to protect pedophile Epstein congressmen, lose FBI and IRS hard drives, fabricate evidence against Congressmen in Alaska and scientists in Ft. Dietrich, railroad Leonard Peltier they admit they have no evidence to hold, and that prosecuting the people who walked free is just a cover operation for it. Why don’t you ask MLK and his family about it?

    But to look on the bright side, that I can say these things without the FBI arresting me does show that despite all the U.S. is better than the E.U. or U.K., much less nations further down the list, and that’s why people are still breaking IN here, and not OUT. Lookin’ at you, Mr. Robinson. Jesus loves you more than you will know, ’cause England does not.

    Bloomberg On His Democratic Rivals: ‘Trump Would Eat ‘Em Up’ (R.)

    Quite expectedly – and pointed out by Kunstler – Bloomberg’s entry into the 17-way race has just screwed the only viable moderate out of winning: Buttigeig. And he was alright, I don’t mind him. But Bloomberg is trying to be the centrist anti-Biden, except he’s ALSO 80, and he ALSO attacks blacks, is a corrupt billionaire and so on. So if you run two annoying, self-serving Manhattan billionaires, who do you think will win? Not Bloomberg as his base hates billionaires, stop and frisk, men, and white people. The Trump-pets don’t care. And they don’t care AS LONG as he goes up and smashes Warren, Biden, Bloomberg, Cooper, Macron, the EU, NATO, the CIA, the FBI, and every double-crossing ambassador and Harvard law professor right in the face, on Twitter, every day. It’s only if he STOPPED tweeting, attacking, and being mean to these smug, entitled idiots that he’d be in trouble.

    Are we now all free to call each other whatever we want?

    Nope. Only billionaires. Musk sued someone looking at his corporate releases and stopped his free speech and mild opinion on matters of legal record. Musk effectively told the SEC to lay off him and go f—k themselves…many times. They obeyed entirely. Don’t worry, if Solomon Tweets links to 11 items of factual, legal, photocopied evidence, he’ll be sued to the moon. Just like me. And you. And be thankful they don’t arrest you for something fabricated like Mueller and Obama did, and hold you until death with no charges or merely contempt of court.

    But we ain’t like the middle ages, like the bad old days, iz we? No, we’re brilliant, smart, gifted, moral, exceptional.

    “Japan has ballooned to more than 100% of the country’s GDP, the central bank owns almost 70% of the country’s ETFs and is one of the top 10 shareholders in the majority of the largest companies of the Nikkei index.
    The QQE program was based on three “arrows”: monetary policy, government spending, and structural reforms.”

    Its not the way it used to be but guess what …. the rich are still rich, the enablers are still being paid to keep the rich rich, and the rif-raf are no worst off.

    RUDY NUKES DEMOCRATS: Ukrainians Find Misuse of $5.3 BILLION in US Aid During Obama Admin

    RUDY NUKES DEMOCRATS: Ukrainians Find Misuse of $5.3 BILLION in US Aid During Obama Admin
    by Jim Hoft December 6, 2019

    According to Rudy’s sources — Much of the $5.3 billion in US Aid Ukraine reported as misused was given to the embassy’s favored NGO’s.
    At the time Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, witness for the Witchunt, was the Ambassador. That embassy directed the police not to investigate.

    Raúl,

    Love your stuff but …

    Please disable the autoplay on the videos you post (or don’t post videos with autoplay), it’s unbearable getting bombarded with Fox News blasting music and vocals. The Fox News autoplay video in this post does not even have a click off feature. They do that to boost their video plays and rankings.

    Autoplay is disgusting.

    Thanks,

    BrandX,

    I noticed that earlier today and thought about asking people if it happened to them too. And then that slipped my mind. But you’re right, it’s terrible. I’ve posted some of their videos before and don’t remember this happening. I’ll keep an eye on it.

    I’m hoping that by finding and posting interesting news that it will help TAE become more attractive. (I’m retired with time on my hand)
    I remember Trump saying that he donated to both parties so that whoever won would be in his pocket. ( my words)
    However, it does happen all the time. That’s how quid pro quo works. See this article.

    Who’s Really Behind a $1 Million Donation to Trump’s Inauguration?

    Who’s Really Behind a $1 Million Donation to Trump’s Inauguration?
    A federal indictment raises new questions.

    Dan Friedman

    The charges paint a picture of an effort by Nader to gain influence with Clinton’s supporters, and to hedge his bets by cultivating Trump’s team—all while reporting back to unnamed foreign masters.

    Very interesting comment by ex-FBI Jeff Cortese. Lone Wolf jury members refusing to convict anyone investigated by FBI even if defendant is guilty!

    I have read many people saying that if they were on a jury they would not convict based upon FBI evidence either, because they no longer trust the FBI. I had always taken these statements with a grain of salt. But I guess some little people really does have principles! My! My!

    A little judge storyline.

    My late Father was on a jury. The defense and prosecutor both agreed that the defendant had killed the victim. The jury was to decide whether it was 2nd degree or manslaughter. A simple verdict to reach.

    The trial started Monday. Tuesday the judge causually mentioned he was planning on going fishing on the weekend. The trial wrapped up Thursday morning.

    Instead of the jury starting deliberations after lunch, the judge dismissed the jury for the rest of the day. The jury would begin deliberations Friday morning instead.

    This royally pissed my Father off as he didn’t appreciate his valuable time being wasted! An engineer by profession, he didn’t suffer fools very well!

    All day Friday, my Father hung the jury! Friday evening the hung jury was dismissed until Saturday morning!

    At 9:05 AM Saturday the jury promptly convicted the defendant of the lessor charge of manslaughter!

    The judge did not get to leave early Friday morning to go fishing! In fact he didn’t go fishing at all!
