    I’ve heard that sense of powerlessness expressed many times both here on TAE and most everywhere else that outraged citizens gather to lament the fact that the crazies are still at it and no one seems to be stopping them. Where are our leaders at this time when we need them the most?

    Not outraged enough to demand an end to the Gaza genocide, or the Ukraine war (see all those flags by user names on X), or the Iraq war, or the Libya war, or the Covid vax etc etc. The vast majority of your country folk are in favour of these abominations, they support your outrageous behaviour either through passive acceptance or active support. How do you think your “leaders” are able to continue to play their stupid games, because the majority go along with it.

    Talking of your leaders, why would anyone want to lead a bunch of do-nothing sofa surfers? You obviously need to experience more pain before you start taking plastic bags to stores and stealing loads of stuff like the black folks do in California. Now they probably have leaders because they do stuff, same as the drug cartels have leaders. The white folks on the internet, I guess you have Trump, RFK Jr and the indian.

    Coming To A Head https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/coming-to-a-head

    When societal change is suppressed for a long time, it comes very suddenly when the blocking measures finally fail. It looks to me like 2024 is shaping up as one of those years, a year like 1968. 1968 saw the paradigm shift of American attitudes from support to rejection of the Vietnam War, the assassinations of pacifists Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and the effective resignation of Lyndon Johnson from the US presidency, in the face of vast popular rejection of his war policies.
    In the spring of 1968 French student revolt brought the French economy to a standstill and unseated the government. The wartime policies of WW-2, and remnants of colonialism, had been rejected as a mode of routine governance.
    Colonialism was progressively rejected in the post WW-2 era, and its successor, global financial neocolonialism is now being resisted in the world, as it also becomes weakened by its own erosive nature of value-extraction, which degrades economic productivity wherever it holds sway.
    The neoliberal, neocolonial global financial capitalist system, facilitated by covert regulatory-capture of governments, degrades the economic periphery first, and also degrades the core governments and economies, the seats of global empire.
    Whatever regional economy degrades to the point of crumbling or collapsing is then bankrupted and stripped of productive assets. Remaining local production centers are taken for pennies on the dollar as payment for loans in-arrears, by global capital-consortia. The global “capital” is conveniently created by global capital centers, such as in New York and London, not through actual creation of physical goods and services. This cycles productive enterprise into creating “shareholder value”, which is stripped away, rather than being re-invested into productive infrastructure like factories, roads, railroads and powerplants.
    These same forms of financial asset-stripping, leave productive citizens and businesses destitute, and still in debt in the core economies, like the US, UK, Germany and France, after the periphery is looted. This process is already well advanced.
    Competing systems have arisen along the lines of nationally directed economies, such as that of the US in the early 20th century, Germany before and after the wars, and Japan. Russia and China have taken up economic nationalism in their own post-collapse periods, still ongoing. This model is very appealing to financially colonized countries in the “global south”. India is notably struggling between forces of economic nationalism and global financial neoliberalism. Turkey is in a similar position, leaning towards nationalism, but embattled. Iran is eager to excel within the anti-colonialist BRICS+ consortium, as it becomes more active and assertive in global trade.
    International financiers still need to keep the productive citizens and businesses of the world in adversarial relations to each other, and compliant with global capital, in order to retain their control of their corrosive system of wealth extraction. Their “money is still good” at this moment in time, so bribes and dividends can be paid by the money-pool in their global Ponzi scheme.
    How long before that financial bubble from 2008 pops for the final time? This year? How early in the year? Can you predict the trigger? I can’t. Derivatives are part of it, though.

    Ellen Brown, Fixing Derivatives Time Bomb
    The “protected class” is granted “safe harbor” only because their bets are so risky that to let them fail could crash the economy. But why let them bet at all?
    ​ This is a sequel to a Jan. 15 article titled “Could a Derivatives Crisis Trigger Another 2008-Like Banking Collapse?”, discussing the threat of a 2024 “black swan” event that could pop the derivatives bubble. That bubble is now over ten times the GDP of the world and is so interconnected and fragile that an unanticipated crisis could trigger the collapse not just of the bubble but of the economy. To avoid that result, in the event of the bankruptcy of a major financial institution, derivative claimants are put first in line to grab the assets—not just the deposits of customers but their stocks and bonds. This is made possible by the Uniform Commercial Code, under which all assets held by brokers, banks and “central clearing parties” have been “dematerialized” into fungible pools and are held in “street name.”​ …
    ​..Why not just shut down the casino? Prof. Stout’s suggested solution is for Congress to return to the pre-2000 rule under which speculative derivative bets were not enforceable in court. That would include reversing the “superpriority” privileges in the Bankruptcy Act of 2005 and the Dodd-Frank Act. But it won’t be a quick fix, as Wall Street and our divided Congress can be expected to put up a protracted fight….
    ,,(Professor Lubin’s) proposed solution is for Congress to make legislative provision for nationalizing any bankrupt exchange, brokerage or Central Clearing Counterparty before it fails. This is something to which our gridlocked Congress might agree…
    ..Another alternative that not only could work but could fix Congress’s budget problems at the same time is to impose a 0.1% tax on all financial transactions…
    ​..There are other possible solutions to customer title concerns. There is no longer a need for the archaic practice of holding all securitized assets in the street name of Cede & Co…​ The states of Delaware and Wyoming have explored maintaining corporate lists of stockholders on a state-run blockchain; but predictably, the measures were opposed. The practice of holding assets in street name has proven very lucrative for the DTCC’s member brokers and banks, as it facilitates short selling and the “rehypothecation” of collateral.​..
    ..”The good news is, this “great taking” can be stopped at the state level. Americans don’t need to count on a divided Congress to get the job done. Because the UCC is state law, state lawmakers can take concrete steps to restore the property rights of their constituents and protect them in the event of a financial crisis.
    ​ On Monday, South Dakota legislators introduced a bill that would do just that. The legislation would ensure that individual investors have priority over securities held by brokerage firms and other intermediaries.
    ​ It would also alter jurisdictional provisions so that cases are determined in the state of the individual investor, rather than the state of the broker, custodian or clearing corporation. This would ensure that individual investors are able to rely on the laws of their local state.”

    Defusing the Derivatives Time Bomb: Some Proposed Solutions

    Pepe Escobar, Axis of Resistance: from Donbass to Gaza
    The resistance in Donbas and Gaza share an essential common vision: overthrowing the unipolar hegemon that has quashed their national aspirations.
    ​ NATO’s cosmic humiliation-in-progress in the steppes of Novorossiya is mirrored by the Anglo–American–Zionist combo sleepwalking into a larger conflagration throughout West Asia – frantically insisting they don’t want war while bombing every Axis of Resistance vector except Iran (they can’t, because the Pentagon gamed all scenarios, and they all spell out doom).
    ​ Scratch the veneer of who’s in power in Kiev and Tel Aviv, and who pulls their strings, and you will find the same puppet masters controlling Ukraine, Israel, the US, the UK, and nearly all NATO members.​..
    ..The Axis of Resistance “swarm” in West Asia has barely started and still carries a slew of military and economic cards yet to come into play. The Slavic Axis of Resistance has been fighting nonstop for two years – and only now are they starting to glimpse a possible light, linked to the fall of Adveevka, at the end of the (muddy) tunnel.
    ​ The resistance war is a global one, played out – so far – in only two battlefields. But their state supporters are formidable players on today’s global chessboard and are slowly racking up victories in their respective domains. All while the enemy, the Hegemon, is in economic free-fall, lacks domestic mandates for its wars, and offers zero solutions.

    and perhaps a couple of others

    Yes, the UK let the rats into the kitchen and we got “hate speech” laws – particularly beloved by Dr D – and “anti-semitism” laws particuarly loved by D.Benton.S the Jew, and in France, “holocaust denial” laws,

    Spot on.

    Right out of the playbook, Dr D DBS instantly resort to any criticism of The Jewish State as racist, anti-semitic, and hate speech.”

    I have made my views pretty clear and explicit from the beginning of this “Jew” oriented discussion that magically appeared out of nowhere coincidental with your arrival not so long ago. Strange, isn’t it? You show up and the trouble starts immediately

    I have welcomed the open discussion about all things Jewish, and acknowledge that it should not be categorically forbidden or forcibly censored in any way. I am adamantly anti-Zionist. I am outraged by The Zionist “Jewish State”of Israel carrying out land grab, murder, and genocide in Palestine. I recognize that a disproportionately large amount of the world’s evils coming from a disproportionately small faction of self-proclaimed Jews is fairly sound proof of criminal conspiracy (albeit murky). And I know from long life and broad experience that most Jewish people are just ordinary people like everybody else.

    And yet you two creeps repeatedly and relentlessly try to portray me as espousing the OPPOSITE. How strangely consistent, and false.

    I have corrected you on numerous occasions (almost daily now, it seems) and still you persist in outright lying and covertly insinuating that I believe and say the contrary of what I actually believe and what I have actually said.

    Such blatant lies and maneuvers cannot be accidental. Therefore they must be intentional, and with an as yet unexpressed purpose. Neither of you are all that bright, so presumably the plan has been provided to you by others. Your buzz-word choices, your incitement to indiscriminate hatred, and your incessant use of provocatively crude personal insults suggests a more or less planned-out agenda. That, too, tends to suggest that people smarter than you are telling you what to do.

    I believe that you are agents provocateurs with an assignment to foment extremist commentary on this blog with the intention that such radical commentary will later be used to frame and defame this forum by your handlers as “racist” (your words, not mine), “anti-Semitic” (your words, not mine), “hate speech” (once again, your words, not mine) , as a means and justification for outlawing The Automatic Earth and getting it “canceled”, shut down, or even prosecuted under draconian censorship measures that even the near-sighted now see coming at us from an increasingly deranged government.

    Just for the record, I have never said nor implied that the tripe you spew was “racist”, or “anti-semitic” (except in the idiot sense of the word), or “holocaust denial” or “hate speech”. Your effort to position me as having any of those views is in itself a deceitful and cowardly (and, frankly, stupid) attempt to undermine my repute rather than refute my arguments. What a spineless subterfuge, and one that you will henceforward not be getting away with.

    You can save yourself the embarrassment and just go away quietly now, or you can persist and wind up leaving in humiliation anyway. Your call. Hopefully you hang in for a few more rounds, because (God forgive me) I do enjoy the game.

In 2020, public health, defense, and intelligence agencies weaponized a [Covid-19] pandemic, resulting in unprecedented profits to Big Pharma and the dramatic expansion of the security/surveillance state, including a systemic abandonment of constitutional rights—effectively a coup d’état against liberal democracy globally.

    ​ Study Finds 80% Of Americans Exposed To Fertility-Lowering Chemicals In Cheerios, Quaker Oats
    ​ According to a recent study, four in five Americans tested positive for an agricultural chemical found in several wheat and oat products, including brands like Cheerios and Quaker Oats.
    ​ The peer-reviewed study, published in the JESEE journal on Feb. 15, looked at urine samples from American citizens to determine their exposure to chlormequat chloride—a plant growth chemical. Exposure to the chemical can result in lower fertility and harm developing fetuses even at doses below acceptable levels set by regulators. Researchers detected chlormequat in 80 percent of urine samples collected between 2017 and 2023, with “a significant increase in concentrations for samples from 2023.”​ The chemical was detected in “92 percent of oat-based foods purchased in May 2023, including Quaker Oats and Cheerios,”

Recently this 90-year-old noticed people were starting to put pronouns after their names, didn’t understand why this was being done and then asked someone to explain it to her (but was confused by the explanation​). A few days later she was notified that she needed to leave the organization because she was “not inclusive” and therefore she was violating the Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) standards of the organization.
