    In case you thought I was kidding about the Mueller investigation extending through all time, space, and reality, rumor has it that since Brexit, it now includes unwelcome rabble-rouser Nigel Farage. Yes, Mueller can investigate if a BRITISH citizen was influenced by Russian bots and trolls, in a BRITISH election. I’d say “News at Eleven,” but if they had anything, he would have already released it. Go Mueller! This is not a witch hunt at all! And the Deep State would never use an unlimited subpoena power to harass enemies and find out things helpful to their strategy would they? Perish the thought.

    I think Mueller should be seated like a Supreme Court position and be unable to be removed, continuously investigating until his death of extreme old age. …Not that anything could go wrong with that, as a emergency leader of non-oversight powers worked just fine in Rome. You may have heard of it, the title was “Dictator.”

    No, the principle of Republican and American government is a “balance of powers” with an uneasy truce as each branch agitates for their interests and so doing, limits the power of the others. So has oversight and balance of a prosecutor who can investigate and blackmail congress if he wishes, who are his de jure boss? Anyway, keep up the good work, he’s spent $1M a month for 20 months, doing his part to keep that debt clock whizzing.

    Powell’s tightening has hammered the planet, but is now biting in the U.S., indicating stress and probable collapse. FANGMAN may be the least of that: watch massive GE going under, and Nat Gas blew up spectacularly, probably in an insider-trading rigging-raid of outsider day-traders. But that means the US$, being the core, will go up and up and up before being a burden no one can stomach, not even us. Up against what??? Why, GE stock, FANG stock, now commodities, houses, the Lira, the Ruble, Bitcoin…one by one until it is up against everything, as you need it to pay debts. Certainly China does.

    Presumably, the plan with the Saudis was to cause this egregious offense (thousands of times less egregious than the drone program, Syria, or cluster bombing Yemeni civilians, but who cares about them?) and then get the unhinged Trump to respond in his thoughtless, unhinged way. Except that despite their constant PR, he never acts that way. Then when he boycotts and cuts off S.A., killing the petrodollar too early, the economic collapse Powell is staging becomes Trump’s fault. QED. They’re now so desperate to push it that the CIA DEMANDED Trump listen to and obey their assessments or else. …And why should he, when everything they’ve said is wrong (*coughUSSRBayofPigsDominoTheoryISISisJuniorLeagueWMDscough*) AND they’ve come out at openly against him, AND the CIA bosses said they would impeach him for treason, AND everything Trump’s actual handlers, the Marines and Military Intelligence has been right. But hey, let’s play along. And in the meantime stop MBS’s Yemeni war instead.

    Speaking of, 25 people were involved in the Koshoggi operation, plus lines of the embassy staff, 18 Saudi officials…that’s amazing, is there anyone in Saudi Arabia that WASN’T involved? And every one of them said, “Wow, luring a WP reporter to the embassy and dismembering on camera is a great idea! Why didn’t we think of this before?” Or not. You decide. And we still have no idea what happened or where the body is, despite weeks of constantly conflicting (ie “fake”) media releases.

    Like so many environmental things, the ocean park drive is a “land” or resource grab. First, you assert rights to something that isn’t yours, being international waters…or say the swamp behind Farmer Joe’s house. Then, once those rights are established, you slowly crank them out into full ownership and authority over, say, the 10,000 miles around Hawaii, or the entire county Farmer Joe lives in. For the whales, ‘natch. Then you evict Farmer Joe, and then rights of the people of the U.S. from the Ocean Park, and sell all the resources to Halliburton to be strip mined and used as a dumping ground for radioactive fracking water from Santa Susana. …All in the name of the environment! Who could argue with that?

    Now what on earth could make a Yank like me so cynical and suspicious? Certainly nothing they’ve ever done before.

    “I am still doing my bit as a chronicler of collapse, but what I want to emphasize is that a meaningful and fulfilling life can be lived even in the midst of collapse, which, with the right preparations and the right mindset, can be relegated to its proper use as a particularly macabre form of entertainment.”

    “….evidence of a systematic, wilful, concerted and brutal economic war unleashed by the country’s right-wing Tory establishment against the poorest and most vulnerable section of British society – upending the lives of millions of people who were not responsible for the aforementioned financial crash and recession but who have been forced to pay the price.”

    Zioglobalists climbing up the food tree, now treating working class British citizens like the foreigners they have colonized over centuries to show the benefits of democracy and capitalism. Same song and dance fascist-suprematism in progress in US and EU.

    We are getting a tennis neck pain watching the market is bouncing around like an addict on a pogo stick.

    Polder Dweller,

    Not a terribly balanced article, and it doesn’t even link to the study that 2/3 of it is about. The study is here.

    The Right to Food sounds like a bit of a shaky topic, but who knows with the right channels?
