No issues here as it’s fiat and so is the repayment. Fiction at its finest applied to the little people, of course it will be their fault when the real bill comes due.
July 21, 2022 at 9:36 am #111842RedParticipantIt’s astounding how the general public in most of the west isn’t able to connect the dots. I’ll bet most wouldn’t dare to colour outside the lines!
“New Zealand has set a new high in COVID deaths and currently has one of the highest death rates in the world, despite a continued mask mandate and exceptionally high vaccination and booster rates”
July 21, 2022 at 9:54 am #111843RedParticipant“For those of us at the high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster. If there were no hunger in the world, who would plow the fields? Who would harvest our vegetables? Who would work in the rendering plants? Who would clean our toilets? We would have to produce our own food and clean our own toilets. No wonder people at the high end are not rushing to solve the hunger problem. For many of us, hunger is not a problem, but an asset.”

“We Decided to Stop Paying”: China’s Mortgage Payment Boycott Spreads as Property Suppliers Refuse to Pay Their Bills”
Spot check run down this morning. Yes, Powell raising rates hammers the Eurodollar market. It’s risen 20% in a few months, and all dollar-denominated contracts in Europe are getting savaged, which to same extent is more contracts than the United States. As Luongo says, they are our enemy to democracy, and deeply tunneled in to our system at this very late hour. But they’re not the only one. Sri Lanka will have dollar problems. China is pegged to the dollar. Certain places in S. America are either pegged, or have too many dollar contracts now up 20%. So you can imagine emerging market debt to be the first to fail, as usual. Like Panama and Peru. We’re really just on a death watch to see who goes first. My bet remains on Europe, but China shows it doesn’t have to be.
China ALREADY cracked, but as we’ve seen their authoritarian structure means the flow runs differently, and possibly not at all. Or not in a way. Lockdowns magically happen wherever they have financial and protest trouble, just like our Repo market in 2019. Now we don’t walk away from this, but we do fail last. And before then, foreign money should try to hide on Wall St. with international capital flows.
Other notes: Saudi says seeding clouds is a mature technology that they spend a little money to use there. The U.S. have any explanation for why this isn’t true in our southwest, like Lake Mead? No? Physics is different here, we don’t try things…that we ourselves invented? And are so old we successfully used them in the Vietnam war 50 years ago?
Europe? Your rivers are down, it’s a bit hot. Are Physics is different in Europe too?
“Tesla announces it has sold 75% of its bitcoin holdings for $936 billion.”
Sold at a loss, it seems. And why not? When you can print money, you buy BTC, store it, then hammer the market with it as a well-paid favor for your banking friends. They just need a vehicle to manipulate the market in this larger size now. As SEC stands for S.E.C. it seems, why not use Tesla? Tesla is a stock-manipulation company that also sells some cars. Among others of course. …Last time they bought the Japanese Judge holding the Mt. Gox coins. That was way cheaper I’m sure, but points to the same problem: as long as they can print money, most problems are solvable, and all markets – therefore all objects — are corrupted. Ah, it’s a beautiful world.
But, if you were wondering about dollar alternatives that people would flee to. Legarde says all off-ramps must be shut our they’ll leave our system (of slavery).
2021: No medical curiosity about why weight has occurred. No interest in the extra deaths 100x Covid. No 100-year interest in how that weight erases our military readiness. Huh. That’s odd. It’s almost like they want it, and also can blame us for their active poisons.
CNN: Behold! The Green Horse! …Trojan Horse that is. Why does he ride with War, Famine, and Disease? Because their Green agenda will kill more people than war does. Greta approved. AOC sanctioned. AOC has caused more refugee flight from NYC than WWI and WWII combined. They’re all following her mother to Florida.
Much as I hate Gingrich, I appreciate him naming their weird, selfish, mass-murder as a fundamentalist cult and religion. They are terrorists, and I mean that in the accurate sense of the word. The only thing that might mitigate that is their use in positions of government to execute their acts of terrorism, which would therefore be Democide instead, a Socialist specialty.. And relentless psychological terror, as seen with CNN’s climate fabrications. It’s one HUNDRED degrees! In Texas! Say it ain’t so, the world is ending.
“Ukraine Must Win by Winter – Zelensky Aide (RT)”
True but impossible.
“US and UK Want ‘Real War’ between Russia and EU – Lavrov (RT)”
Another example of their religion of mass-murder. However, let’s not be sloppy: the “U.S.” is not one thing. WHO in the U.S.? This weird religious death cult. Clearly Blinken and Austin want war that will kill 1/3rd of Europeans – personal opinion: especially the white ones. The CIA agrees. However, the Pentagon does not appear to want this, as they have taken no actions. Without them, Russia just runs over Europe and de-Nazifies not Ukraine, but Brussels too.
“The notorious leader claimed” WHY do they say things like that? Do they have an orgasm each time? Why do they say “Unprovoked”? If it’s actually unprovoked, there’s no need to protest to much, padding your valuable article with useless adjectives. Why do they say “without evidence”? If there wasn’t evidence, there’s no need to say “Without evidence” because the statement is sufficient in itself.
You publish, “Vladimir Putin said.” Period. The reader can draw their own conclusion, from facts and evidence you provide, not emotional innuendo fabricated from Roget’s extensive section on adjectives. The minute they say/use this, the entire article is suspect and I more or less toss it. Because clearly THEY tossed it. Off. Into my face. The use of even one such structure demonstrates you’re not a serious journalist but a propagandist and a hack. You’re fired.
“Ukraine Offers Itself as a ‘Testing Ground’ for NATO Weapons (Antiwar)”
Not true. What weapons are there? Our new lasers? Exosuits? But if they ARE a testing ground of NATO’s new high-heel and makeup training, then they lost instantly and bitterly. Every fancy thing they’ve planned and done is a dismal failure, smoke in the wind, just as it was in Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, the Yale tiddlywinks playoffs…
“EU rationing gas”
Too late. And if you thought citizens were pissed before, with riots and protests continent-wide, you ain’t seen nothing yet. How did Finland go, not being able to bake bread even in the summer? Did Russia turn them back on and give them reprieve? The most comprehensive propaganda campaign in world history has not moved the people. Guess it had to happen sometime.
“Europe has no one to blame”
Actually, they blame us for not murdering all our red-hat-district, highly motivated capable sons on their behalf. Like the Pentagon let on they would back in 2021. They blame Trump for telling Germany they had no army, were low-life contract-breakers failing their NATO-GDP demands, and that they shouldn’t plan on fighting a war with the nation that gives them their war oil. Also they blame Susan Sarandon, of course. Because she lost the election for Hillary. Who knew one 70 year old ex-actor was the kingmaker and had so much power? But that’s what I gather from the Left chat boards. It’s Ralph Nader and Susan Sarandon’s fault, not Obama, Hillary, and Biden’s.
“Billions of dollars in weapons the military did not seek..”
Yes, because it needs time to be recycled into the elections. As in: election-fixing. What else would you call it when you use taxpayer dollars to fund your personal campaigns in illegal dark money? I don’t think there’s a different word. Same with Ukraine’s money, as nearly zero reaches the front lines, just like all foreign aid money over all American and world history. It just is parted out and a percentage reappears in Biden’s bank accounts. Through payments from a foreign nation, which is illegal and potentially treason.
“Much like Biden’s surprise entrance in 2020, Democrats will see her as their savior, an experienced politician able to bridge the left”
He’s crazier and more psychotic than I thought. Thank God for free speech. Like Podesta telling the PNW to secede.
“Trump is in trouble. Trump is in trouble.”
Bombshell. Walls are closing in.
“He didn’t act. He did not take action to stop the violence.”
Sure. Except 12 minutes later he did. And for weeks leading up he begged Nancy Pelosi and the D.C. mayor to bring in National Guard and extra police, because they have sole jurisdiction and not the President. And the FBI knew all this and had dozens of people embedded. And the President knew that.
So other than warning them for weeks, making both unofficial and official requests, saying so publicly on Twitter, other than activating the FBI and putting the military on readiness, other than tweeting out to calm down when it happened, other than basically nothing happened anyway, other than there were no guns, no plan, and therefore no insurrection to begin with…what have the Romans ever done for us?
What a jerk. As info was coming in, it took him 12 whole minutes to make a decision. Impeach. I think generally the American people know it, each in their own way. Generally, that way is, they’re off with a self-serving, self-interested, self-aggrandizing circle jerk while we all suffer and they’re too self-absorbed to even notice.

Biden announces executive actions on ‘climate crisis,’ focuses on extreme heat and boosting offshore wind ~ President Biden described climate change as an ’emergency’
July 21, 2022 at 12:22 pm #111847Dr. DParticipantAt the wind farm PR event, Biden said he was going to declare a “Climate Emergency” to pass “Executive Orders” to stop “Climate Change”.
Except that none of those three things exist. I didn’t know the President could just do whatever he wants without any input or money from Congress. Must be some new form of government I haven’t heard about.
But that’s what he said: “Everything I do now, and heretofore plan to do in the future, will henceforth be entirely illegal.”

Uh, I think the idea of a technological fix for a problem created by technology…hasn’t been such a good idea. Wonder what might happen if every country started seeding clouds for rain. Let’s find out! As Kunstler says, It seemed like a good idea at the time. And it’s just another step or two from “seeding” clouds for rain to letting Bill Gates and Co. “solve” the climate change with their hairbrained ideas about blocking the sun or whatever the fuck..

So the Europeans that where so enthusiastic about their green energy powering everything are finding out that pie in the sky isn’t real. Oops! Oh well lets just go back to Africa they like us. Maybe they’ll find a different Africa with the BRICS starting to flex some mussel. I know China’s about to melt down finically. But is it? That would be the melt down of the west version of finance. The BRICS are about to fire up a new version of finance, so maybe walking away from the western system all at once will leave us holding the bag of hot air that our economic prodigies have expanded to mythical proportions.
As European governments race to secure every drop of natural gas that they can, consumers in countries like Nigeria and Mozambique are losing out.
The hypocrisy of Europe asking for oil and gas from countries that, just last year, it had told to keep fossil fuels in the ground only makes it harder to take.
While there is uncertainty regarding whether African oil and gas countries have time to exploit their resources, this reversal from Europe certainly gives them a chance.https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Europe-Does-A-Complete-U-Turn-On-African-Oil-And-Gas.html
July 21, 2022 at 1:56 pm #111854jsnyder62@gmail.comParticipant“Roll Call, described a “first of its kind” report published by the Department of Defense Comptroller’s office, which revealed at least $58 billion of “congressional additions” above Joe Biden’s budget request.”
The “budget” is pure political theater. We know this because Catherine Austin Fitts and Professor Mark Skidmore found that over the course of about 8 years, the Department of the Army and HUD spent $21 TRILLION dollars more than they were allocated per their budgets, based on reports of the OMB. This news sort of percolated briefly into MSM and was mocked as incompetent bookeeping, as if incompetent bookkeeping could be responsible for a $21T overdraft – laughable on its face. Nevertheless, the Army said oops our books are wrong, we’ll fix them, promise, but subsequently, FASAB published Standard 56, which officially allows the government agencies to keep two separate sets of books, one for public consumption, and one that shows the “classified” spending that must be hidden in the national interest. https://missingmoney.solari.com/
The issue has been discussed numerous times by Fitts and Skidmore on USAWatchdogDOTcomEven Fitts and Skidmore fail to note the obvious, however. In order for the Army and HUD to spend more than budgeted, they essentially have to have open checkbooks; they write the checks, and Treasury fulfills them. In other words, the high school civics version of the budget process, where Congress appropriates $X to this, $Y to that, as if each of these agencies have a bank account and Congress deposits that amount of money into the account each year, and once the agency spends it it is gone, till next year, is pure hooey. There are no limits on spending, at least for certain agencies, and the “budget” has no operative meaning at all.
The budget is just there (1) to put out the illusion of democratic control by elected officials, and (2) to hide the true extent of dollar printing from the eyes of the world, so they can’t assess the extent of dollar devaluation.
Meanwhile, it is now a fact that the government can keep two sets of books, so it is impossible to believe the information about what it spends that it puts out.July 21, 2022 at 2:03 pm #111855John DayParticipantYesterday Michael Reid posted this from the Archdruid, which is very much worth “reiding”.

Really.July 21, 2022 at 2:52 pm #111858RedParticipantAmazon announced Thursday it will acquire the primary care organization One Medical in a deal valued roughly at $3.9 billion, marking another expansion for the retailer into health care services.
The Seattle-based e-commerce giant said in a statement it will acquire One Medical for $18 per share in an all-cash transaction. It marks one of Amazon’s biggest acquisitions, following its $13.7 billion deal to buy Whole Foods in 2017 and its $8.5 billion purchase of Hollywood studio MGM, which closed earlier this year.
One Medical, whose parent company is the San-Francisco based 1Life Healthcare, Inc., is a membership-based service that offers patients in-person and virtual doctor visits. As of this March, it had about 767,00 members and 188 medical offices in 25 markets, according to its first-quarter earnings report, which also showed the company had incurred a net losses of $90.9 million after pulling in $254.1 million in revenue.
Neil Lindsay, the senior vice president of Amazon Health Services, said in a statement the acquisition is geared towards reinventing the healthcare “experience” for things like booking an appointment and taking trips to the pharmacy.
“We love inventing to make what should be easy easier and we want to be one of the companies that helps dramatically improve the healthcare experience over the next several years,” Lindsay said.
Amazon’s latest acquisition furthers the company’s foray into provide health care services. In 2020, the retail colossus opened an online drug store that allows customers to order medication or prescription refills, and have them delivered to their front door in a couple of days. Last year, it began offering its Amazon Care telemedicine program to employers nationwide.
In morning trading, shares of 1Life Healthcare surged 68% to $17.13.

While standouts like Morrison and Eric Clapton do “take me back” to that exquisite moment, most of those “iconic” rockers (and folk and R&B greats of that moment) have, like Mick, become The Man. I make this point in full awareness of the dark side of that scene, having read Dave McGowan’s book on Laurel Canyon (which overstates its case), and other works on what was probably the CIA’s involvement with the Dead et al. However solid much of that work is, and however personally compromised and/or corrupt some artists surely were, their music, at its best, is something else—and something to be valued, not discarded, as is (of course) the case throughout the arts..”

July 21, 2022 at 6:10 pm #111876phoenixvoiceParticipantI don’t like concocting “conspiracy theories” when I have little evidence that they exist. Very often, the triangle fractal from the other day is a better explanation for seemingly coordinated events than some all-encompassing, all-powerful, top-down conspiracy.
However…thought experiments can be useful tools for discovering data and evidence that might be otherwise overlooked.
So…
IF we posit that “cloud seeding” is a known technology, in use for decades, but mostly out of the public’s awareness….
And IF the WEFfers are planning to use Climate Change (TM) to scare the masses into giving control to the WEFfers….
It isn’t a very far leap to suppose that THEN there is a conspiracy to seed clouds to drop the bulk of their rain before it reaches the Colorado and Rhine river basins, causing drought.Now…
This is NOT a certainty. And it would be wise to find out if there is any evidence that this mal-intentioned seeding is occurring, because droughts come and go, and the low water on these river basins could well be entirely due to natural processes and natural cycles — or even unintended consequences of human actions — humans usually don’t fully comprehend the outcomes of their actions, especially when they act in concert.However…

gardener, just a landscape laborer!”Then the nice neighbor-lady upstairs gave me some vividly bright-yellow flowers. Thank you, T! When they dwilted, I stuck them in the “garden”. Lo!, they eventually took hold. Then, the same scenario for a potato that sprouted while on the top of my fridge.
Then the little cypress tree in the PVC bucket decided to grow through it and
into the questionable soil below, too,

We all know where this is heading; remembering is the adventurous and, to some, the courageous part.”
On Living: Well said. Taking your thought one step further: Remembering – and taking direct action in response – brings adventure and/or courage. Arjuna REMEMBERED, his time with Krishna provided absolute clarity. In response, he stood up, took the reins, and moved his chariot to the front line. His presence in this fight was “required”. He embraced and fulfilled his duty through selfless action. We choose our response, and in response we shape our destiny.
As the world turns, turns, turns……
