Pablo Picasso Mother and child at the seaside 1922 • Demand For Credit Cards And Mortgages In UK Falling Fast (G.) • May’s 10-Year Plan ‘Still
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle January 18 2019]Both Picasso’s (yesterday’s) and todays were done in the same year, 1922; yet are remarkably different, which, to me, seems to indicate a very diverse way of viewing reality; not to beg the obvious…
A wonderous gallery Ilargi…The comments regarding the shift of magnetic north re: Russia, are hilarious taken in their context of absurdities…
The wackos in the US just get further and further from any reality based foundation in the now!
I’m reminded of the French movie re: WWII in which the patients of a mental hospital all escape and inhabit their village; the Germans come in and hilarity ensues; the name of the movie escapes me at the moment…Did China invent “debt-trap diplomacy”?
Did China “steal” “debt-trap diplomacy ” from the west?
Did China discover and improve “debt-trap diplomacy” from Africa?
——
Is there a Dr. in the house?
…. the patients of a mental hospital have all escaped and are running around out of OUR control doing unspeakable things…. Western scorn about Russia’s frayed economic power ….
….seeks to avenge the fall of the Soviet empire….
seized Crimea from Ukraine and restored Moscow’s former political beachhead in the Middle East (Syria).meddling in both the Brexit vote and the US election in 2016
political distemper (yellow vest) in the West was sown by a Russian intelligence operation masterminded by Putin
Huawei
Huawei has created two issues for the US. Firstly it produces excellent 5G hardware which has made it a world leader. Secondly it uses encryption which the NSA find difficult to break.
By saying that Huawei equipment is bugged, without a shred of proof, we now have all the US minions scrambling to replace Huawei equipment with ‘NSA friendly’ equipment.
A bill has just been introduced which would ban selling any US components to Huawei. Just another example of the US saying ‘Never let your business depend on anything made in America’.
@ V. Arnold – The movie is King Of Hearts and a quite excellent one at that, as I recall.
Interesting that it is always the media echo chamber that is the problem with the state of affairs. Not the clinical narcissist/pathological liar tweeting a shit storm on a daily basis. A man whose only self worth is wrapped up in the adoration he can muster and rage against those who do not support his grandiose self image. Yes V., the country is certainly headed down the proverbial shit hole as evidenced by the fact that such an infantile personality could be elected President. The damage being done is immense. The bright spot might be that at least the counter clockwise swirl down the porcelain throne might be reversed when the poles shift.
Why is there no objective analysis of the policies on my once vaunted TAE? Merely the minimizing of anything negative about Trump and casting it off as the evil that is the MSM.
“Years of underinvestment have resulted in longer waiting times, critical staff shortages and “substantial deficits” that have been covered up by raiding funds for long-term reform,”
This should be written on the tombstone of every socialized program ever, be it the NIH or Venezuelan oil production. Governments ALWAYS steal tomorrow’s money to buy favors today, hollowing out the systems until they collapse. Always. Socialism ALWAYS works at first while they are spending this capital savings and infrastructure. Always. If it didn’t work great at first, no one would try it. But it is always good for us while it will kill our children. Which is why they vote for it, I think. I’ll get mine: too bad about yours. That’s the “love” and “brotherhood” of socialism, the only system that’s killed more people than capitalism, the death of 300 Million in the 20th century, all marked by the words “Years of underinvestment” have been “covered up” by “raiding” someone else, internally, in oppression and poverty, or externally, in war.
“Where were the ‘pay-fors’ for Bush’s $5 trillion wars and tax cuts, or for last year’s $2 trillion tax giveaway to billionaires?”
Don’t worry my dear, we were screaming bloody murder about it the whole time and being shut out just like you are. That’s the reason for the existence of the Tea Party which shattered and ultimately steamrolled the GOP policy. So don’t talk about it being in “bad faith”, unless you mean by Congressional incumbents from both aisles. Unfortunately for us, Osacio’s problem here is not economics, which MIGHT see a payback of investment, or Congress, who would be happy to spend and buy jobs, but the laws of physics: none of the green energy demonstrated so far return anywhere near the ERoEI required to cut down another forest and poison another lithium mine. After 30 or 50 years of such projects, you would think the companies getting multi-billion dollar subsidies would notice, but I think I just answered my own question.
“The news just keeps on getting better for Vladimir Putin. On either side of the Atlantic, the United States and Britain, the two great English-speaking democracies that orchestrated Moscow’s defeat in the Cold War, are undergoing simultaneous political breakdowns.”
And Russia literally had nothing to do with it, nor needed to. We did it all on our own, and we got up extra-early this morning to do it again.
Trust me, V, I am living this movie. I mean that my nation is occupied and run by violent Nazis, but also that the citizens belong in a mental institution.
Who did it ….implement socialism
The rich
the powerful
the rulers
the educate
the lawyers
the accountants
the head of news media
those people are called the elitesI don’t believe for one minute that the rest of the population had any decission on the way our social/economic systems were set up.
Slaves do not tell the masters what to do.Tell the truth
Do not misslead
(hummm … Give them cake …. hummmm…. who had cake to give!!!!!)

Yes, that’s the movie! Thank you. It was excellent and a real hoot with a great message.
I cannot imagine what it must be like to live in the U.S., and being a cogent human at the same time.

Indeed, thus my comment above. Every year more and more are leaving. I wonder, for how much longer that will remain an option…

But then, what would distinguish TAE from the MSM, with respect to the blather of b.s. and obfuscation?
Frankly, I’m thankful Ilargi, for the most part, lets the carrot top clog the MSM and the Intertubes and not TAE…
