Piet Mondriaan Trafalgar Square 1939-43 • Operation Z – Don’t Interrupt (Larry Johnson) • Gazprom Declares Force Majeure, To Halt Gas Flows To
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle July 19 2022]The Russians end up with control of the Black Sea and probably the Ukraine bread-basket as well. So, now, Europe will starve and freeze.
I got a feeling that the most powerful peeps in the west are not blundering in Russia but happily a part of the West’s demise. Larry is looking at it from the point of organised western democracies. He is wrong to look through that lens I believe.
Oh! We hve our format back…WONDERFUL!!!! 😉 😉
Salvador Dali The hand 1930
Late to the party; but I was intrigued by that Dali…at a loss for words…
The visuals are rich and plentyful…the left hand especially…the female to the right is fascinating as well…“A lone suspect entered the food court area of the Greenwood Park Mall, located on Highway 31 on the south side of Indianapolis, around 1800 local time. The suspect was armed with a rifle and several magazines of ammunition and immediately began firing.
A law-abiding citizen with a permit to carry a handgun responded in seconds and was able to shoot and kill the suspect, ending the rampage.”
When seconds count, police are just 77 minutes and 19 dead children away. The first responder is YOU. Quite probably the only responder.
“Los Angeles DA Stops Notifying Victims Of Attacker’s Parole Hearings
“This systematic and pervasive violation of victims’ rights appears to be motivated by one goal: to release as many murderers, child molesters and rapists as possible from prison,”
Yes they clearly are, and why?
“[Rhine] lowest for the time of year in 15 years,”
In 15 years??? You really had me going there. That’s just normal low, not epic, end of Europe low. We’ll all be fine.
“we can be sure it [$500 oil] won’t happen”
You’re not wrong, but negative $40/bbl “happened”. It’s certainly capable of being there, but there are consequences. Yes, probably it hits that number but can’t do it for long.
Repeating the problem is that $500 oil means that renewables are also 10x the price.
“Solar Panels Subsidized by California Are Winding Up in Landfills, Contaminating Groundwater with Toxic Metals”
Sounds like we should cover all Dutch farmland with them. That’s green! And Chinese ones last 10 years, not 90 like the originals.
However, we don’t have any problems since Iran, Russia and a few other places have a generation of oil at reasonable cost. It’s only the idiots in the West and depleted Saudi Arabia that have run out of easy stuff. …But still have near limitless at 30,000ft under the Gulf (clearly, it polluted three states) if we can figure out how to lift it.
Of course that means only Russia and Iran and can field armies, and Europe can’t. “Liquid Hegemonic Power” so I’ve heard. The End.
“Pentagon Nears Deal with Lockheed for 375 F-35 Stealth Fighter Jets”
Great, now we’re going to have to walk everywhere and shoot at the enemy with bows and arrows. But not in bad weather or lightning storms.
“Russian Economy Expected to Thrive by Year’s End (RT)”
Thus why it became illegal for us normal people to buy the Ruble and Russian stocks. Morgan and Citi can though!
Looking for -20% on Eurostocks, Euro at 90, which makes the dollar “Strong”, and therefore BTC/metals “weak”. (in reality it’s all about bacon vs BTC) We’re not there yet, but the steps have been released exactly on time to hit the Sept/October crash, right on the election. However, that won’t help the election as they are going to so screw it 100 years from now we still won’t know who was elected. That’s the point. Adding chaos and lies is the whole PURPOSE, and it’s not that hard to do. The only way to prevent that is to add morality, self sufficiency, #Logos into the hearts of the people, who WANT truth and justice and will follow it if it kills them. Not there yet, obviously.
“Ukraine Treated Donbass People as Sub-humans, Making Peace Impossible (Ugolny)”
Don’t batter people until they are tough, determined, in the moral right, and have the cold fire of vengeance in every pore. You won’t beat them, but it will be ugly. Like half of America.
“20 degrees above normal at around 100 degrees”
100f in the Dakotas? In summer? Yeah, that’s perfectly normal. Maybe you should ask questions about why the grid has been so hollowed out for 30 years that it couldn’t handle the load. Same as Afghanistani and Ukrainian weapons: we the people pay for things, those things are stolen, written on a ledger, and don’t exist. Like improvements to transmission lines and power stations. Is theft, fraud, and no property rights, “capitalism”?
“The debate about recession risk is pointless. We are already in a recession. Real GDP in the United States declined at an annual rate of 1.6% in the first quarter.”
We’ve been in a Recession since 2001 except for a few quarters. They claim inflation is 1% when it’s 9% and therefore those 8% are “Growth”. This is what Socialists do: spread misery widely. Reduce the economy to subsistence level, and keep all the palatial estates for the Party Members, aka “The Club”.
“House Democrats Push Bill To Add Four Seats To Supreme Court (JTN)”
What do you say to a group where: everyone hates their platform so much, they can’t win anywhere, and instead of improving to “the Peoples’ Platform” just change the rules instead? Roe, M4A, Minimum wage, student loan relief.
“The Supreme Court is “making decisions that usurp the power of the legislative and executive branches,”
No, in Dobbs, they did the #Opposite. But in #OppositeLand, the #Opposite of the Opposite is the Opposite. That is: The Supreme Court HAD made a decision that usurped the power of the Legislative, and STOPPED doing that, wrote EXPRESSLY that’s what they did, and sending it BACK to the Legislative, at which time Biden and Pelosi did nothing. Therefore the only standing laws presently live at the State level, but don’t have to.
The Court put YOU in charge. And they’re mad at it. I guess because they’re immensely ignorant, blindingly arrogant, and too pinheaded to read anything? Pass the law. It’s really that simple. But then they couldn’t whine and blame others. It’s always somebody ELSE’S fault we didn’t do our jobs for 50 years in a row.
For my part, again, where is this authority written in the Constitution? I believe their argument is, you have a right to privacy, but not with warrants or vaccines, but only if you commit murder.
AND the lies in Ohio this week, where they EXPRESSLY have a medical safety clause, but went to Indiana so they could protect a 30 year old child rapist illegal immigrant from jail. The doctor thought this was awesome and didn’t report anything. I guess the 10-year-old had immaculate conception or something? Why would you do that? Explain it to me in court.
“How many jabs did Fauci get?”
Yes, but getting the disease means the vaccine WORKS now. That’s #Logic! Or #FauciScience!
“The Russians end up with control of the Black Sea and probably the Ukraine bread-basket as well. So, now, Europe will starve and freeze.”
Following the expansion of Luongo, we have oligarchic power blocs, Davos vs Wall St. The Fed, and probably the Pentagon, are taking out the extraordinarily dangerous Davos crowd. That’s the war + the rates. LeGarde said, “Central Banks have to make it their mission to do Green New Deal/ESG lending exclusively. (and therefore kill 6B people)” Powell said, “No I don’t. My mandate is for employment + the economy. The U.S. Economy, NOT THE WORLD.” LeGarde had a mental meltdown on camera, realizing what that meant. Now these months later, Powell has very slowly and deniably been utterly destroying ECB with rates, even as the Pentagon has crushed all Europe (in cooperation with Russia), and now their head-monster, Germany. Lost war, dark winter. Collapse.
So Powell, Wall St, and guess what? Probably Trump. So you can put him in the category, allied with Wall St, Jamie Dimon, the Pentagon, and they have their own interests. And what are they, in the biggest sense? Pro-Capitalism, ultimately. That is, not Soviet Socialism, as Europe is. And that doesn’t make them OUR friends and allies, but we attack first the coastline, THEN the mountains.
If we take out WEF/Davos, I’ll be happy to pivot to Wall St and the non-Capitalism we have here, returning rule of law called the “Constitution”, and monopoly protections with honest elections here. But as Holland shows, our first line of business is EATING, which is what Davos is violently and intentionally shutting off worldwide.
So the Russians are our allies right now (again), stopping Europe from going full Nazi, crushing them AHEAD of time, forestalling their usual “world” war cycle that goes back to Napoleon or even Charlemagne. Because WEF/Davos, and clearly BoJo, Merkel, and Macron are full Nazis among many others. Mooselini is the pet hamster-boy of actual Nazis. But the U.S. isn’t. Yet. It’s only half full-Nazi, with burning books, banning guns, and breaking windows of the untermensch (poor black neighborhoods and business owners, and gay Asian reporters).
Each hour the settlement Russia will put on Europe and Ukraine gets worse. As Kissinger said. Russia now will take everything to the river, ‘cause they feel like it. They will probably give Poland the West Galacia. And Hungary will get the Southwest. Leaving a tiny, desperate, pointless, irrelevant Ukraine city-state we can all point and laugh at as an example to others. And when they reform themselves, absorbed into one of the others, probably NovoRussia.
If they wait longer, there will be ever less. Russia doesn’t care what NATO says from Kiev straight through to Canada and Seattle, because they, NATO, London, and the entire combined West have no power, no men, and no relevance, and would lie anyway. Russia is going to do whatever they want, as long as they want, and Europe is going to let them. If indeed there is a “Europe” left at all.

I think there is a typo somewhere in one of the articles. It said stocks in Germany will fall 20% from their current value. Should read that stocks in Germany will fall to 20% of their current value. Seriously who would risk buying German shares knowing that the factories might be shut within weeks due to rising energy costs or ordered to shut due to rationing of energy. How many will not reopen ever come spring? How many will be bankrupt? How many banks will be kaput?
1.5 trillion euro debt by European power companies…..and people think those companies will be able to keep price increases down? Can broke European governments come up with the cash to subsidise every household a few thousand euros just for the coming winter?Communication

“We also stress the importance of continuing to inject and encourage investments in fossil energy and its clean technologies over the next two decades to meet the growing global demand, with the importance of assuring investors that the policies adopted do not pose a threat to their investments to avoid their reluctance to invest and to ensure that no shortage of energy supply would affect the international economy,” Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in his address.
“The Kingdom will do its part in this regard, as it announced an increase in its production capacity to 13 million barrels per day, after which the Kingdom will not have any additional capacity to increase production,” he added, as carried by the Saudi Press Agency.
Last year, Saudi Arabia said it expects to have boosted its oil production capacity to 13 million bpd by 2027 from 12 million bpd now.

“If shipping is the beating heart of global trade, its pulse is about to get slower.
Faced with uncertainty about which fuels to use in the long term to cut greenhouse gas emissions, many shipping firms are sticking with ageing fleets, but older vessels may soon have to start sailing slower to comply with new environmental rules.From next year, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires all ships to calculate their annual carbon intensity based on a vessel’s emissions for the cargo it carries – and show that it is progressively coming down.
While older ships can be retrofitted with devices to lower emissions, analysts say the quickest fix is just to go slower, with a 10% drop in cruising speeds slashing fuel usage by almost 30%, according to marine sector lender Danish Ship Finance.
“They’re basically being told to either improve the ship or slow down,” said Jan Dieleman, president of Cargill Ocean Transportation, the freight division of commodities trading house Cargill, which leases more than 600 vessels to ferry mainly food and energy products around the world.
Supply chains are already strained due to a surge in demand as economies rebound from lockdowns, pandemic disruptions at ports and a lack of new ships. If older vessels move into the slow lane as well, shipping capacity could take another hit at a time when record freight rates are driving up inflation.
At the moment, only about 5% of the world’s fleet can run on less-polluting alternatives to fuel oil, even though more than 40% of new ship orders will have that option, according to data from shipping analytics firm Clarksons Research.
But the new orders are not coming in fast enough to halt the trend of an ageing fleet across all three main types of cargo vessels: tankers, container ships and bulk carriers, the data provided to Reuters by Clarksons Research shows.The average age of bulk carriers, which carry loose cargo such as grain and coal, had jumped to 11.4 years by June 2022 from 8.7 five years ago. Container ships now average 14.1 years, up from 11.6, while for tankers the average age was 12 years, up from 10.3 in 2017, according to the data.
“Some ship owners have preferred to buy second-hand vessels because of the uncertainties around future fuels,” said Stephen Gordon, managing director at Clarksons Research.”
The Real Policy Error Is Expanding Debt and Calling It “Growth”
July 18, 2022Waste is not growth, and neither are the unlimited expansion of debt and speculative bubbles.
The financial punditry is whipping itself into a frenzy about a Federal Reserve “policy error,” which is code for “if the music finally stops, we’re doomed!” In other words, any policy which reduces the flow of juice sluicing through the sewage pipes of the financial system (credit, leverage and liquidity–the essential mechanisms of financialization and globalization) endangers the entire rickety, rotten structure of phantom wealth that’s enriched the few at the expense of the many.
The entire notion that central bank policy makes or breaks the economy is the original Policy Error #1. That is to say, whatever policy a central bank pursues is a policy error because every policy is an attempt to manipulate the self-organizing cycle of credit / economic expansion and contraction.
The history of central banking is actually quite simple:
1. Central banks act to protect the wealth and power of those who own / control most of the wealth. This is their core unstated reason to exist.
2. To justify this absurdly transparent protection of the elite in the eyes of the public, central banks go through the motions of trying to extinguish the business / credit cycle, that is, trying to eliminate defaults and credit crunches which are the frequent but low-intensity fires that burn up the financial deadwood.
This destruction of excessive credit, leverage and liquidity is necessary to protect the forest–the entire economy– from a much larger, out-of-control conflagration.
Central banks sell this endless expansion of financialization to the public as “we’re getting rid of those horrible nasty recessions that hurt all you little folk,” but in letting the deadwood pile up ever higher, central banks are only guaranteeing the eventual conflagration will consume the entire forest.
This is basically what happened in 2008-09: the deadwood caught fire despite the best efforts of central banks and almost burned down the entire forest.
Anything that constricts the expansion of financialization (credit, leverage and liquidity) constricts the expansion of the phantom wealth of elites, and so central banks are loathe to limit credit expansion. Central banks and economists need a cover story for this dynamic, and so they purposefully call debt expansion “growth”: hey, look, the economy is expanding, everybody’s getting richer, our policies are working!
Nice, but this isn’t reality. The reality is the top few get much, much richer than the little folk. That’s the only possible output of financialization, which generates hyper-rewards for those few with the most expansive access to credit, leverage and liquidity: corporations, financiers and the super-wealthy.
Every policy that protects the deadwood is a policy error, which means every policy of central banks is a policy error. The one and only useful role of central banks is to be a short-term lender of last resort in financial crunches in which the deadwood catches fire and excessive credit, leverage and liquidity is consumed.
The deadwood burning greatly reduces the risk of the forest being destroyed, but some enterprises that are not overleveraged find that they’re no longer able to roll over their short-term debt due to lenders cutting off lines of credit. A credit crunch can burn down otherwise prudent enterprises, and so central banks can protect well-managed businesses that need short-term credit by being the lender of last resort.
Credit panics don’t last long. Loans of 90 days are typically enough to tide over those firms who need credit lines to function.
But instead of this limited role, central banks are always trying to expand credit, leverage and liquidity under the guise of “promoting growth”. All that they’re really doing is expanding financial deadwood by enabling the expansion of excessive waste and fraud. Thanks to central banks, the frivolous conspicuous consumption of the central-bank funded elite is glorified as “growth,” along with the complete waste of planned obsolescence and speculative bubbles that generate the illusion of capital expansion.
Waste is not growth, and neither are the unlimited expansion of debt and speculative bubbles. Every policy of central banks is a policy error with the sole exception of short-term lending in standard business-credit cycles in which credit crunches cleanse the system of the deadwood of excessive credit, leverage and liquidity as a means of protecting the entire forest from destruction.
When $100 trillion in global deadwood-debt burns to the ground, that merely returns global debt to the levels of 2012. Central bank policies guarantee the forest will be consumed by an uncontrolled conflagration. That’s the cost of claiming waste and debt are “growth” and protecting the phantom wealth of the few at the expense of the many.

https://www.rt.com/news/559250-canada-track-weapons-ukraine/
Canada can’t track weapons it sent to Ukraine – media
Meanwhile, Russia has warned that Western arms have been trafficked from Ukraine as far as the Middle East
Canada has given Vladimir Zelensky’s military some $386 million worth of weapons, including anti-tank missiles, rifles, mortars, grenade launchers and armored vehicles.Right now the USD is considered strong as measured by the USD index.
Most of the USD index consists of the Euro and the Yen.
Both the Euro and Yen have fallen greatly as the US Fed has started raising interest rates above zero while the central banks of Europe and Japan are trying to keep interest rates below zero.
Naturally the Euro and Yen have started falling being sacrificed by their central banks determination to prevent their interest rates from rising.
Would you consider the USD to be strong, solely based upon the increased stupidity of other country’s central banks exceeding the US Fed’s own stupidity?
Right now you can buy an ounce of paper gold for $1,700 USD, down from $2,000, and an ounce of paper silver for $18, down from $27.USD. Good luck trying to buy real gold or silver at these low paper prices!
Obviously somebody doesn’t believe the USD is strong or they would gladly sell you their real gold.
This is from link shared by oroboros:
“ University of Kansas Associate Professor Jennifer Raff argued in a paper, “Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas,” that there are “no neat divisions between physically or genetically ‘male’ or ‘female’ individuals.””In the vast majority of humans there ARE “neat divisions,” both physically and genetically between males and females. There is a tiny minority where these physical and/or genetic traits are mixed. Why are we trying to pay homage to the preferred pronouns of deceased people? Especially long deceased about whom we know nothing – except maybe their physical/genetic traits, including gender and “race”? Isn’t it equivalently disrespectful to avoid gendering after death someone who in life was clearly male or female? Or to avoid information about physical appearance that corresponds to the concept of “race.”
The House has passed a bill to degender names by replacing “son” with “kid” and “man” with “one” in all surnames in the US. The Senate is expected to overwhelmingly approve the bill and Pres. Biden has said he will sign it. Potentially renamed Senators Ron Johnkid and Rob Portone have threatened a filibuster to block the so-called Degender American Male Names or DAMN Act.
@Dr D
Appreciate how you connect the dots here….
“Following the expansion of Luongo, we have oligarchic power blocs, Davos vs Wall St. The Fed, and probably the Pentagon, are taking out the extraordinarily dangerous Davos crowd.

Now these months later, Powell has very slowly and deniably been utterly destroying ECB with rates, even as the Pentagon has crushed all Europe (in cooperation with Russia), and now their head-monster, Germany.

The alignment of players: this makes sense…..
“So Powell, Wall St, and guess what? Probably Trump. So you can put him in the category, allied with Wall St, Jamie Dimon, the Pentagon, and they have their own interests. And what are they, in the biggest sense? Pro-Capitalism, ultimately. That is, not Soviet Socialism, as Europe is. And that doesn’t make them OUR friends and allies, but we attack first the coastline, THEN the mountains.”
With destruction/collapse of the Globalist agenda, bringing the focus home – shepherding in a re-alignment of VALUES across all fronts is something many can/will support..at last! THEN…
“I’ll be happy to pivot to Wall St and the non-Capitalism we have here, returning rule of law called the “Constitution”, and monopoly protections with honest elections here.”
The possibilities are worth holding on to/for.
@ Red RE: “But in #OppositeLand, the #Opposite of the Opposite is the Opposite.” Crazy but true. Takes us directly into the Heart of the insanity.
Reminds me of the closing mantra of the Prajnaparamita, the HEART Sutra (written in Sanskrit below):
Gate gate paragate parasamgate, bodhi svaha.
Translated as:
Gone, gone, gone beyond and even the beyond and into enlightenment.Crazy but true. Takes us directly into the Heart of the solution.
A Mantra for All.
LOVE to All.There is a perfectly logical reason and rationale compelling the Woke Left Cabal of Suicidal Idiocy to inject its ludicrous rules, delusions and doctrines into the World’s vital institutions. The cabalistas are intentionally seeking to break them as functioning institutions, intending to use them instead simply as a means of enforcing control over not only the institutions themselves, but everything else as well.
Under the new regime modernized “institutions” (such as Science, Medicine, or Justice) would no longer serve their original purposes (like truth, health or fairness) but would instead serve the one and only allowable purpose left in existence: serving the Woke Left Cabal of Suicidal Idiocy.
For the Cabal to continue in power it’s vitally necessary that it do just that. It must first BREAK any institution still capable of performing its duties, because institutions allowed to function properly would immediately and resoundingly remove the Woke Left Cabal of Suicidal Idiocy from every position from which it might still remain able to wreak further havoc. Try to imagine Anthony Fauci being made the head guy of anything by real scientists.
Legitimate scientists in still-functioning institutions would never never ever have allowed any of the so-called “Covid-19 Pandemic” shenanigans, or any of the rest of it. (is cold blooded genocidal murder of children a “shenanigan”? Maybe we need a stronger word here.)
Any institution which allows its workable truths and procedures to be replaced by falsehoods that are designed to make the institution utterly incapable of working toward its original purpose . . . . stopped being a real (still-functioning) institution and became a mere cult , long before things went that far, sank so low, or got that bad.
So why the perversely ludicrous clownish buffoonery that seems almost prerequisite to the false rules, delusions and doctrines? Well, that’s because people can’t be punished for disagreeing until they perceptibly do disagree! Their opposition must must be visible in some way. Sullen resentful silence does not meet the standard. Therefore sometimes the level of bullshit sufficient to provoke openly expressed opposition has to be so far over the top (or below the bottom) that the victim finally realizes that they MUST disagree. Silence is no longer an option. As soon as they so so then BAM! The attempt is made to “cancel” them (silence, censor, fire or even kill . . . whatever it takes to remove them.)
It doesn’t take too many such heads-on-pikes for the word to get around. And the more gruesomely unfair the better so far as pikes-on-heads are concerned. Fear is the whole idea.
Looking around I don’t see any big institutions still standing. They’re pretty much gone. Looks like start over time to me, and of course that means a very big fight and lots of heads-on-pikes. One way or the other.
An institution, by the very definition of “institution” , simply does not exist until it successfully asserts truth, work-ability, and moral justice over the field it lays claim to. Until then it’s just another protest group.
oxymoron said:
“I got a feeling that the most powerful peeps in the west are not blundering in Russia but happily a part of the West’s demise. Larry is looking at it from the point of organised western democracies. He is wrong to look through that lens I believe.”
Bingo!, I think. Lots of misdirection around..
@DBS: Very well articulated. The goal is definitely to break trust in all institutions as a first step.
@oxymoron: Along the above lines about breaking trust, I agree also with your statement about the Western “elites” being happily along for the ride (at the very least) if not actively propelling it. In the US, for example, I think Tom Luongo expressed it well recently when he called the group of people behind Biden “vandals”, whose goal is just tearing down all of the nation’s institutions. Or like Matt Taibbi said awhile back, “It’s like these people went to anti-government school or something.”Most of visible “elite” often have a secured phone call before they go to bed. Conversation on their part goes like this:
” I got the memo…I understand Sir…..Yes, will do…god night to you too, Sir”.Doctors give ‘gender card’ to children, offer to keep identifiers secret from parents…
The “Gender Card” is being distributed by local pediatricians to children in the Greater Seattle area.
The card has a section to fill out where the child can ask the doctor to call them by whatever name or pronoun they prefer.
Additionally, multiple options for gender identity are given including “trans woman,” “trans man,” “agender,” “non-binary,” “genderqueer,” “questioning” and even has a line to fill in if none of the others apply.
