[See the full post at: Debt Rattle November 13 2019]November 13, 2019 at 9:21 am #51263V. ArnoldParticipantPablo Picasso Pitcher of flowers on a table 1942 ; today, the 13th.
Pablo Picasso Still life with fruit basket 1942; yesterday; the 12th.Velly interesting; is this a test? 😉
Not the sharpest crayon in the box; I can’t find any difference…
As to the rest? I rarely get into the scrum; it all melds together into a theater like farce… 😉November 13, 2019 at 10:36 am #51264oxymoronParticipantA whole continent on fire. I’ll give you a whole continent on fire – it’s called Australia and so far this year we are at over 1.1 million hectares burnt (2.7 million acres) – California has had less than a tenth of that this year.
The thing is summer hasn’t started yet and Antarctica had crazy high levels of Stratospheric warming this winter so there is a shit load of dry warm air for this season……
I live in the bush myself and I have been tree-thinning (reducing the number of small diameter logs to encourage large diameter logs) for years, so my place has fuel loads well considered but the indigenous people who lived here for 60,000 years managed these landscapes with fire and then we just think it is an english garden or something. Barely a single tree in our forests would even be there if a fire hadn’t germinated the seed. It is a FIRE ecology so if the government is making indigenous practice illegal we have to improvise – forest thinning. Currently comes with huge fines of up to $20,000 but will be mandatory soon because you know large centralised market based systems are so good at living with nature and understanding feedback loops and fallback mechanisms and the rest.
When Europeans arrived they could walk from Melbourne to the Goldfields in a few days as the whole continent was a managed estate. The paintings and letters all describe a park like country. So much to learn.
Centralised systems suck major ass! Give me some autonomy and me and my good neighbours will make this place a paradise – or something close.
Or maybe I’m dreaming. I have been known to be wrong, misguided and misinformed – thats how you know to find me here on TAE 🙂November 13, 2019 at 10:53 am #51265Raúl Ilargi MeijerKeymasterVelly interesting; is this a test? 😉
No, a screw up on my part. I’ll use the correct one tomorrow.
..it all melds together into a theater like farce…
The real theater starts today, live on TV. Enjoy with a Subpoena Colada.

Oh! I can hardly wait…not…
😉As to the paintings; that’s a relief; my brain can still descern differences, even subtle ones… 🙂

By the way, how come we ordinary people must declare that we are moving more than $10,000 and the rich don’t need to declare?

Make the laws, use the law, use the systems as per the instruction booklet.November 13, 2019 at 1:20 pm #51269Dr. DParticipant“Subpoena colada”
Ah, Americans at their finest. Shows about how much we respect and need them, because we respect them about as much as they deserve.“and 2016 election tampering”
Interesting add. True, but not relevant to the sentence, and exculpatory. Will the reporter be fired?
“Trump, who has demanded Republicans defend his conduct as unimpeachable not only in the constitutional sense but as unimpeachable, period.”
I haven’t the faintest idea what this means. The Constitution IS the law, not a list of suggestions, so impeachment is not legal, but also “not legal”? Yes, also technically accurate.
“Bolton: Some of Trump Foreign Policy Guided by Personal Interest (NBC)”
As I’ve said many times, should it be the OPPOSITE of his interests, his beliefs? That is, like FDR he has to campaign anti-war, but then do the opposite? Wilson has to campaign anti-bank, and then do the opposite? Bush has to campaign anti-intervention, anti-government and do the opposite? Maybe Bolton is protecting our long tradition of (the Deep State) screwing the voters. No wonder they are against Democracy if it’s NOT to elect a candidate whose personal interests and beliefs align with the people’s will.
“Bolton is a potential linchpin witness”
Wow NBC, exciting. Except so is everyone else in the whole White House staff, and probably the whole executive branch. Do your job: don’t make things up.
“Ukraine pressure effort… including into 2016 U.S. election interference”
Ah, how times change. For two years, 730 long days, that’s all anybody in D.C. and the media wanted. Now it’s impeachable. Funny ol’ world. And for “personal interests”, it’s supposed Trump is annoyed and would like payback for this Russia fantasy by getting to the bottom of what REALLY happened. And? So his interests align with that of law and government. Doesn’t that make him the best person to look into it, not the worst? According to the present inquiry, the people who would look into Biden, his party, and the CIA are Biden, his party, and the CIA and excuse me if that seems wrong somehow, but if you want to let me rob a bank and also run the investigation, I’ll consider it.
“Trump on Fed: Others Have Negative Rates: ‘Give Me Some of that Money’ (CNBC)”
Total fantasy-fest in a long history of it. Black unemployment lowest ever. YGBFKM. It’s barely off the heights, say now under 20% U3 national. That blue-collar jobs are a slight improvement over bank-traders is a pleasant change, but barely off the dial. …Anyway, like Yemen, they COULD lambaste him for this, in the case of Yemen even impeach, but they love lies so much they will protect them and the machines that promote lies even at the cost of his re-election. Now THAT’S dedication to your god and religion! I will be unemployed, persecuted, jailed to defend these ridiculous transparent falsehoods, and the father of lies, on sheer religious fanaticism, the deep, undying dedication to #AntiLogos. If you hadn’t noticed, I’d prefer he just tell the truth: yes it stinks and we’re trying to fix it, but it’s a big ship and hard to turn. But everyone from the dogcatcher to the President cheers the lies and attacks the truthtellers.
“Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz”
Ah, Haaavard. Should have known.
“But so far she has not gone after him in court.”
Sure, it’s possible she’s a grifter. Let’s send it to court for discovery and find out. Amy? Andy? Anyone? No?
“All people are equal before the law.”
Sure, everyone in Australia goes to solitary indefinitely in case someday somebody MIGHT prove they have a case or (illegal) extradition to a dangerous third nation. Happens every day in Victoria, amirite?
“Wisconsin’s Dairy Crisis: “We Are Losing Two Farms a Day!” (SHTF)”
Where have they been for the last 50 years? Remember Melloncamp’s “Farm Aid”? “Blood on the Scarecrow”? No? That’s what you get when Sachs and Morgan rig prices since the 60s to funnel money to themselves. But it doesn’t come from a Keebler Money Tree. It comes FROM the people who actually do the work. Remember Gekko? “Wall Street”, all that?
Guess what? The farms have all been destroyed, most are now owned by Ag as vicious and uncaring as Monsanto, crops are down by 1/3 and with blizzards now coming in 6-8 weeks early, no harvest. Look for your food to rise suddenly and catch up to the 50 years of price suppression over inflation. 6-10x increase?
What does this chart tell you?
Wall Street and Medical are both 5x the healthy historic average. Farming is the reverse. So does reality still revert to the mean, or is it different this time? You can print money, but you can’t print food.
“provided they don’t cause inflation.”
The world’s largest caveat. I can have any size head provided it fits my hat. I can have any size car provided it fits the road. I can have any “up” I want…and order it without a “down.” Sure, buddy. Sure you can. Or you can know it has a time-lag and will land on that patsy Nixon and Carter after him, although you’re the one who signed the check.
“Currently comes with huge fines of up to $20,000 but will be mandatory soon”
That’s just what happened in CA. For 200 years they controlled this with fire and wot-not, and before them the Indians with some common sense, but the Greenies outlawed both removing wood AND controlled burns. But hold my beer! They then built non-adobe, non-hacienda, stick-built flammable houses every 1,000 meters without a burn break or fire bunker so you couldn’t maintence-burn even if you wanted, and are arrested if you cut a tree to save yourself. …And yes, this was one of Trump’s pet peeves about paying CA tens of billions which vanish out the bucket into Democratic coffers to campaign against him. To me it’s a fail,“the single largest misallocation of resources in the history of humankind” – H. Kunstler. Might as well let it burn and walk away. God himself cannot help you, the plan to stop the earth from turning, or deserts from being dry. In your case, indeed, to stop trees from seeding and existing ever again. Brilliant! So ecological! I’ve got a better idea: just get some master caravans and move the houses from place to place. Wait! That’s exactly what natives did worldwide in slash-and-BURN, with-the-earth agriculture, but unfortunately, the gents from Haaavard are not as smart as an aborigine in a loincloth. Yet somehow they come down from their irrigated green lawns and tell everyone what to do, killing us all.
November 13, 2019 at 4:24 pm #51276Doc RobinsonParticipantTrump On Fed: Others Have Negative Rates: ‘Give Me Some Of That Money’
The US had some negative rates on T-bills in 2015.
Joe Sixpacks with at least $100 of savings could be invested in T-bills.Interest rates on U.S. Treasury bills went negative in 2015. That happened because of expectations the Federal Reserve was sticking to its near-zero rate policy into the following year due to global economic worries.
For U.S. yields to turn negative for an extended period, a key factor would be whether there is U.S. recession, analysts said.
Steps taken by China and the United States since last week [August 2019] are seen bringing them closer to an all-out trade war that threatens the global economy and financial markets.
Moreover, the Fed Reserve would have to cut rates to near or below zero and restart its quantitative easing program to combat an economic downturn, analysts said.
“We doubt the Fed leadership would seriously entertain the idea now,” Wells Fargo Securities strategists wrote in a research note.
November 13, 2019 at 6:11 pm #51277John DayParticipantLots of history rhyming, I’m afraid. Can we survive it?
The story about FDR’s war with central bankers is presented in a clearer light than I have seen it, a more favorable light to FDR (who “died funny”), and unfavorable to Truman, who FDR never trusted, and (puppet) Woodrow Wilson.

Bolivia’s President Evo Morales was overthrown in a military coup on November 10. He is now in Mexico. Before he left office, Morales had been involved in a long project to bring economic and social democracy to his long-exploited country. It is important to recall that Bolivia has suffered a series of coups, often conducted by the military and the oligarchy on behalf of transnational mining companies. Initially, these were tin firms, but tin is no longer the main target in Bolivia. The main target is its massive deposits of lithium, crucial for the electric car.
Over the past 13 years, Morales has tried to build a different relationship between his country and its resources. He has not wanted the resources to benefit the transnational mining firms, but rather to benefit his own population. Part of that promise was met as Bolivia’s poverty rate has declined, and as Bolivia’s population was able to improve its social indicators. Nationalization of resources combined with the use of its income to fund social development has played a role. The attitude of the Morales government toward the transnational firms produced a harsh response from them, many of them taking Bolivia to court.
Over the course of the past few years, Bolivia has struggled to raise investment to develop the lithium reserves in a way that brings the wealth back into the country for its people. Morales’ Vice President Álvaro García Linera had said that lithium is the “fuel that will feed the world.” Bolivia was unable to make deals with Western transnational firms; it decided to partner with Chinese firms. This made the Morales government vulnerable. It had walked into the new Cold War between the West and China. The coup against Morales cannot be understood without a glance at this clash…
China’s Tianqi Lithium Group, which operates in Argentina, was going to make a deal with YLB. Both Chinese investment and the Bolivian lithium company were experimenting with new ways to both mine the lithium and to share the profits of the lithium. The idea that there might be a new social compact for the lithium was unacceptable to the main transnational mining companies.
Tesla (United States) and Pure Energy Minerals (Canada) both showed great interest in having a direct stake in Bolivian lithium. But they could not make a deal that would take into consideration the parameters set by the Morales government.
Morales himself was a direct impediment to the takeover of the lithium fields by the non-Chinese transnational firms. He had to go.
After the coup, Tesla’s stock rose astronomically.November 13, 2019 at 6:17 pm #51278Raúl Ilargi MeijerKeymasterJust got back in, and don’t know who the “counsel” is who’s talking to Kent and Taylor right now, but he’s destroying them, making them look like Keystone cops. Interesting. These are lifetime ‘diplomats’, and they have zilch.
Update: his name is Steve Castor. He’s being nice to Taylor and Kent. Don’t think he will continue to be. He’s setting various traps and they don’t know which way is up or down.
Bill Taylor is just a bumbling fool. The Dems should send him on a holiday far away.

Explanation.
Make the laws, follow the laws, as per the rule book that you made.November 13, 2019 at 7:40 pm #51280restless94111Participant“Why call her a Prince Andrew accuser, USA Today? She’s an accuser and victim of Epstein, first and foremost. And Ghislaine Maxwell, whom the various intelligence services have still not been able to locate. Right! And then after that, of Andrew and Dershowitz”
I am having trouble here. Help me out. a 17 year old girl is a child? Because that is the definition of pedophilia.
Next question: a 17 year old girl is a victim of consenting to sexual relations with older men? In exactly what way is she a victim? Did she consent? Where is the victim?
If I give you money for sex and you say yes, who is the victim? No one. No one is the victim. I told you I would pay you for sex. You said yes.
Why is this not completely clear to everyone on Earth? Please explain to me why any of this is news or an issue. Why?
Isn’t the real issue that Epstein was part of the Mossad blackmailing politicians and other rich guys because we still are in the middle of a Puritan culture where 17 year olds are not allowed to have sex if they want to or are paid to do it and accept payment?
What is going on here? I just don’t understand. I invite you to try to explain why there is such insane hysteria over a woman who consented to sex and now has decided it is time for another big pay day.
It’s obvious that this all this is.
November 13, 2019 at 8:09 pm #51281boscohorowitzParticipant“DC bars to open early for impeachment mania”
They seem to have a form grasp of what’s going on, and what remedy is available.
Raul is a very nice guy who insists on guests at TAE behaving civilly. So I’ll use a cheesy ellipsis and say I can’t imagine a woman fucking restless941111 without being paid heavily, in advance. But that’s just me.
Spleen satisfied, I’ll note that consenting sex between persons under today’s Legal Age is one thing; consenting sex between persons under legal age and powerful rich men old enough to be their father, is another.
But hey, the dude paid her $$$, so that makes everything kosher, right?
All hail the Mighty Dollar, to Whom we owe all allegiance and from Whom all morals flow…

“For more than two decades, “Parchman Farm” was his most requested song. He dropped it from his playlist in the 1980s because some critics felt it was politically incorrect. Allison explained in an interview, “I don’t do the cotton sack songs much anymore. You go to the Mississippi Delta and there are no cotton sacks. It’s all machines and chemicals.”[14]

November 13, 2019To back up their story, my sources provided me a letter then-embassy official George Kent wrote proving it happened. State officials authenticated the letter. And Kent recently acknowledged in this testimony he signed that letter. You can read the letter here.
More recently, George Kent, the embassy’s charge d’affaires in 2016 and now a deputy assistant secretary of state, confirmed in impeachment testimony that he personally signed the April 2016 letter demanding Ukraine drop the case against the Anti-Corruption Action Centre.
