Pablo Picasso Bathers 1918 • Trump Plans ‘Meeting Plus Dinner’ With Xi Jinping After G20 Summit (SCMP) • Shares Soar As Trump Hints At Possible
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle November 2 2018]I had a nice and completely unexpected surprise on Wednesday. Though he’s been on one of my mailing lists for many years, I had never communicated directly with Gerald Celente at Trends Research. But now he mailed me, saying:
Thank you for all you do. I find your posts extremely informative, timely and important.
After I replied, thanking him, he said:
Seriously, I review a lot of information each day, and what you send out is among the top of the top. I put you on our comp. list for the Trends Journal.
Wishing you all the best,
Gerald
One of his people reached to offer me complimentary access to Gerald’s -paywalled- Trends Journal.
I also told Gerald I have no idea how much longer I can continue the Debt Rattle format, in view of the upcoming EU copyright changes. I simply don’t know what these people want. But I have the impression many people, including the ones who wrote these regulations, don’t understand how the internet has changed the way information is disseminated.
That’s great news: it’s nice to be appreciated. Can you simply swap server hosts to satisfy Europe? I assume Europeans will just move to Russian VPNs eventually, and get around it all completely, leaving Europe’s .net economy in the dust. Nice going! If they’re trying to destroy all Western values and roll back the Enlightenment, they’re right on target!
Watching the caravan travelling 30 miles a day: the U.S. military needs to interview these guys pronto, since a moving army can only manage 10 miles a day. They’re better than the Green Berets! In reality, they’re being trucked up on flatbeds, but not completely: they need a group walking for the media to film. …Which means it’s all staged, a sham, a photo-op. Is what it is. This has the world spellbound with drama, even as Europe puts their migrants into Greek concentration camps and slowly kills them. But Orange Man Bad, yes?
The U.N. tells Trump he has to take them all and in fact has started paying for the caravan’s logistics and legal. I’m sure that’ll go over well with the U.S., and DJT will obviously obey, since he’s a cooperative sort of fellow. This is in addition to how as purported refugees, they are required to request asylum in the first nation they can, i.e. Mexico. Not only did they refuse, and not only did they harm Mexican border patrol and violently break in — on camera–, Mexico stopped them on the way and offered them residency. They not only refused asylum, refused help and residency from Mexican government, they protested that they were being delayedand complained about the lack of free food and bathrooms. So…not so much refugees or what-not.
That was doubled up by, as refugees, or even prospective immigrants, they were carrying the flags of their home countries…which seems odd, a 1,000 mile journey, isn’t that heavy? You pack a Honduran flag but not a canteen and shoes? Anyway, they apparently love flags more than ISIS, because they ALSO brought an American flag, which as potential citizens, they burned in effigy while calling the President the anti-Christ. I have the funny feeling, if you DO like your home country, and DON’T like the new country, AND hate its leader, AND think that leader will shoot, oppress, and stop your (illegal) entry, you may be going the wrong way. Generally when I go somewhere, it’s because I WANT to go to that place and expect to like it better. Especially when I’d have to walk 1,000 miles: it better be AWESOME.
Speaking of, anyone ever take the Appalachian Trail? People do it yearly here and it requires extensive planning, logistics, money. A few pairs of shoes, a few tents, packs, ponchos, 3 months savings in food… I mean think about it: you go out your door in NY and have to walk to Miami. Or are in Gibraltar and want to pop up to Amsterdam. What would you bring? $3,000 cash in your front pocket? A 2nd pair of shoes around your neck? A raincoat? A stroller? Work it through for yourself. Okay, now there are 7,000 of you. Bridges may collapse under your weight. Where do you sleep each night? No food store has volume enough for a whole additional township, how do you eat off of empty shelves? Do the locals like you or fear you? Mexico is not exactly rich to donate a lot. Are there no petty robberies? And so on.
So this has never happened, ever, in 100 years of such travel. Why? Isn’t it odd that it’s never happened until a President says we WON’T take you, we’ll encamp on the border? Seems counterproductive. Wouldn’t it still be easier to ferme la bouche and slip across solo? So many questions, none of which asked, and none that are covered by the media circus.
But I can’t even get them to ask if the bombs were real or fake. (Turns out, 100% inert, hilarious fakes, yet FBI director Wray called them real. More questions.) And therefore, WHY would someone risk the same punishment as a real bomb when he was guaranteed not to harm anyone but himself? Did he LIKE his targets this much, felt extremely generous and kindly towards them? And how did he manage to send 14 within hours of each other? I can’t get a package to move reliably 300 miles within days. …And an entire notepad of such interesting questions.
It may be legit. There may be answers. But you won’t know it from the questions and coverage from THIS media. It’s:

Ditto Patricia; congrats Ilargi.
Its very re-affirming when top notch investment people like Celente support your work.
Well done you…Ilargi
I also told Gerald I have no idea how much longer I can continue the Debt Rattle format, in view of the upcoming EU copyright changes.Is there any way you can clarify what the problem is?
Me, not of the EU, is basically clueless as to the problem you present.
Any clarification would be most helpful. Is it a money thing?And now I read that ‘markets’ are sliding because a rumor that Trump would be ready to sign a China trade deal is not true. That makes little sense: he invited Xi for dinner a month from now; if such a deal were ready, he’d invite him tomorrow, not on Dec 1. ‘Markets’ are not smart.
Thanks Ilargi; I scanned thru it and it’s very complex.
I’ll deal with it tomorrow in more detail.
But, it does foreshadow many problems for posters such as yourself; that much I got.
More later…US jobs numbers beat all expectations, 250,000 jobs created. And in 4 days the Republicans are supposed to lose the midterms? I still don’t see it. Also, if the Democrats would win the House, expect the ugliness we already have, to get a lot worse.
Thanks Ilargi
If I was still workiing, instead of being retired, I would not have the time to spend so much time on the blogs.

CarolRe.: Caravan questions
Why are those people poor?
Why are those people not working for less than starvation wages?
Could the elites have done something to avoid the conditions that cause those people to go north?Could the elites, in the USA, help the people in the caravan?
Could the USA give more help than ….
Myanmar refugees in Bangladesh: Facts, FAQs, and how to help
Aid agencies are struggling to adequately serve 1.3 million people who are dependent on aid, including those in local communities.Yes, congrats, Illargi – I also start my day reading your blog, OfTwoMinds, and Zero Hedge for my news. MSM is, as you say, too echo-chamber and angry.
You deserve to be acknowledged for your tireless work. Be sure to let us know what you need to continue you blog.
btw I tried to donate the other day and couldn’t seem to manage it, but I was coming down with a flu, so perhaps did not persevere enough. My plan is to mail 2 checks one for Greece and one for you.
You raise some very good points Dr. D. If one person wanted to walk 1000 miles then that would be possible because people would feed and give you shelter on the way. But 10,000! Perhaps it is just a political ploy by either the republicans or the democrats? After all migrants are the latest thing to get the masses frightened.
Patricia
After all migrants are the latest thing to get the masses frightened.
That’s a hoot, given we’re all migrants unless we’re aboriginal peoples.
But it’s true, and highly hypocritical to boot…Oh I didn’t mean it like that V Arnold. All I meant was perhaps the story is just a media beef up. Perhaps it doesn’t exist. Perhaps it is just something to get people all het up for the up and coming elections in America. I really doubt most things we are told these days.
