“Boris Johnson Sparks Outrage after Forcing Suspension of Parliament (AFP)”
Boris can’t force s—t. He can only ask the queen. She’s in charge.
Certainly didn’t think BoJo n Co would get a suspension through. But that’s the Queen, she can do what she wants. She has revealed her hand, and wot a shock! The Queen believes England should be an independent country and not a fiefdom to Macron’s employers. Who knew? …Also that England set them up and then double-crossed Europe at a key juncture for her own gain just like everyone has said since 1995. Like THAT has never happened in history.
Lucy and the football. Seriously. Do these guys not read history and the Anglos?
What on earth is that cartoon representing? They are neither fencing within or without. The prison planet suggested is essentially global. So except for sovereignty, there’s no difference; they should pull the camera back and show France also with barbed wire and also a beret-man saying “Liberte’,” then pull back and show Spain, then Germany, then Denmark…
“1.2 Million Britons Sign Petition to Stop Proroguing of Parliament (G.)”
I mean, good for their expression, but is this like the one where they had voters from around the globe, basically a petition of English-speakers and not English-men? Since there’s never a moment and never a subject for which men won’t lie, I have to ask.
And it is “The Guardian,” who hasn’t reported anything honestly in the 21st century. Or the 20th.
“The Queen’s Active Role in the Right Wing Coup (Craig Murray)”
Uh, the queen is unseating herself? To replace herself with herself? I knew the Anglos were tricky-dicky, but this is ridiculous. Framed another way, “the queen has preferences.” Like all men on earth. How dare she!!!
“How much panic will we see in the next 2 months? How much protest, violence?”
Ain’t seen nothin’. Wait ‘til Europe falls to the exact same currents. You’ll all wish you were in Britain. But that’s what happens when you subvert and stop democracy for 40 years. A snapback. But they do this on purpose, making power and money off the peasants fighting.
Oh, and any and all falls of London prices is a miracle for the health of the country and the children. It will help right income disparity, unite the country away from “Planet London”, and allow the young to afford houses. But it will hurt the rich and their syncophantic handmaidens, thus the screaming.
“The High Price of Dollar Safety (Coppola)”
Well, I guess we’re already IN the global financial reset. I had wondered. It’s a synthetic dollar short position, as most debt is dollar-denominated and the world – not so much the U.S. – desperately tries to get some wiggle room by shedding debt. Can’t happen though. Also this unlimited run of the dollar skyward FORCES everyone off the USD system, ready or not. Anyway, since it’s rolling, I guess it’s too late, all but the rumble and the dust and the crying now.
“FBI Studies Two Broken Cameras Outside Cell Where Epstein Died (R.)”
Oh, not one but TWO broken cameras? That’s like not one but THREE neckbones broken by leaning against a sheet. But I’m a Coincidence Theorist and I don’t find that suspicious at all. People break their neck leaning against paper all the time.
“.. the use of troops in Hong Kong will be the end of Hong Kong..”
Hong Kong was handed over already, what did you THINK would happen? They would wait for 49 years and 362 days to assert some kind of convergence of principles? I have no idea what people are thinking. They have been trying to merge steadily, which is highly responsible and not disruptive, and this is the first test.
Since China owns Hong Kong and the troops are Chinese, how would Chinese troops operating on Chinese soil end anything?
“but after the dismissal of several pro-democracy supporters among its workforce under Chinese pressure,”
Just like Google, Facebook, the CIA, NSA, BLM, FBI, Wal-Mart, Taco Bell, and Pa’s Cake-n-Bake. Opinions are treason. However, unlike us, their employees have not been illegally renditioned to Greenland with the approval of Denmark, using RAF transport, and locked up in an embassy on contempt for 8 years for trying to exercise their 5th Amendment rights. –For a newsday mash-up. Just call me The Guardian. I don’t check facts: I invent them.
“New Lip-Reading CCTV Will Have People Fall Silent in Public (ZH)”
I’d say welcome to having no limited government, 4th Amendment, or Bill of Rights, but not a man in the U.S. from coast to coast follows those laws anyway, so what’s the difference? If you want a Constitution, we can give you one: we’re not using it anyway.
“All 4 Carter Page FISA Warrants Were Illegally Obtained – Joe diGenova (WE)”
I told you this three years ago, and no one’s in jail. My point exactly.
“Someone recently commented, “When I was a kid, people used to say that ‘It’s a free country,’ but they don’t say that anymore.” I tried it out the other day. The response? “It hasn’t been a free country in quite a while.” So I turned him into the FBI.”
“Ex-NY Fed Chief Bill Dudley Urges Jay Powell to Prevent Trump Re-Election (ZH)”
As explained by both Dudley and Durden, the Fed was running the nation and picking the President by raising rates. They had not raised rates in what? 5 years? They were still doing stimulus right through the recovery and far beyond. And the minute DJT is in they both withdrew balance sheet AND raised rates steadily.
Now Trump, having at least the common sense of a jellyfish, then did what no other President has done and pointed right at the Fed. Why? Maybe because they were the ones doing the actions?
Going to show how slavishly sycophantic each and every individual was since Wilson was wetting the bed, the Fed couldn’t believe this. How dare he not play along to his own destruction and shine a spotlight on our market and election rigging! Well, I never! Since when should we have to take the consequences of our own actions? Me and my kids didn’t buy our way into Harvard and lose $1 Billion dollars in the endowment fund to put up with this kind of treatment!
So this is their response, their counterattack. They are trying to get the narrative back on track that it’s not the Fed raising rates every day Trump is in power, but that Trump trying to cut inter-nation deals that is causing the Recession. You know, the recession the media has never reported in 100 years until 2 years AFTER it happens (BuyBuyBuy!), but now breathlessly report BEFORE it happens.
We’ll see which narrative is believed, but A) the Fed not only got revealed by Trump, more importantly THEY just admitted they run the President and make claims to be so far above him, the President-should-know-his-place as our servant. Don’t think people aren’t watching that, proving what people like me have been saying for 100 years with mountains of nonstop evidence. Oh and B) the people are not in the mood. Half dream of burning the Fed down and scattering the ashes to the wind and the other half dream of burning it down and handing the Fed to Congress to print unlimited MMT/UBI money. Either way, it’s over for them. And their 100-year market rigging = wealth extraction = income disparity alien dreadnaught machine.
And then? Well you know my feelings, but it has to go to something real, that can be trusted and proven. Because no one believes Dudley OR Trump, and rightfully so.
“Comey Confidant: Expect Andrew McCabe to be Indicted Any Day (GP)”
What’s taking so long? The Fed’s Reserve Note has value ONLY because of their insider power and confidence in their system. If McCabe goes down, that system is having a civil war and its insiders do not have power, somebody else does. So the US$ crashes (ultimately). So you want to push the big red button on that? World finance, world economy, world food and oil shipments go down. World blame is assigned. Someone gets conquered, someone gets nuked. Ready? I would, Fīat jūstitia ruat cælum, but not a man but has found his balls in 100 years around here, so I’m alone in that, the only moral man in 100 miles, and I would run away and only won by them abandoning the field.
Anyway, hope you got all the Cheetos you wanted to eat, because shipments may be disrupted for a while as they financailly ring-fence us. Like for 25 years. Ask Russia.
“Hong Kong Protesters Say They Have Nothing to Lose (R.)”
When I was saying China is a different place with different rules, it wasn’t to say I don’t hope they win. I do. And men fought just as these after Locke and Voltaire against the same kings and kingdoms. However, a map will tell you that Hong Kong is a speck on the pimple on the nose on the face of China. China has collapsed 100 times by humoring splinter rebellions like this and it is a mortal threat. And the protestors are so coddled, so privileged, apparently they are clueless about what they have to lose: in mortal conflicts like this, they, their city, everyone they ever met, knew, read, or have known, can be murdered and left to rot in a field, their children’s faces pointed at the crows, the whole city leveled and uninhabitable for 1,000 years until history itself has forgotten Hong Kong even in name. Is freedom worth THAT?
“Bruce Wayne: “I’m not afraid of you.”
Carmine Falcone: “Because you think you got nothing to lose. But you haven’t thought it through. You haven’t thought about your lady-friend down at the D.A.’s office. You haven’t thought about your old butler. Bang! People from your world have so very much to lose. Now, you think because your mommy and your daddy got shot, you know about the ugly side of life, but you don’t. You’ve never tasted desperate. You’re Bruce Wayne, the Prince of Gotham…”P.S. 36 people arrested. Versus THAT risk, with 1.5 million protesting? They just arrested 36,000 Mulsims for amusement. China could not possibly be more coddling than they are at present.
“Business Group Warns On China’s Corporate ‘Social Credit’ Plan (R.)”
Speaking of a tyrannical China, this is what was supposed to happen when HRC promised to get us into a world war which would lead to a civil war under the Soviet 1917 plan. Then China + the other fascist corporations, now more powerful than governments, would install this system on the collapsed, exhausted United States. You can’t stop some of these big wheels once in 30 years’ motion, and this is one of them. But since that’s against not only every law in the U.S., not only against every principle held by the people, but also against corporate profits (see CNN), who is pushing it? No, really: I need to know, since what they are doing is illegal and they need to be questioned and indicted.
“Up to 30 Jeffrey Epstein Accusers to Speak Out at New York Court Hearing (G.)”
Someone may have forgotten they don’t need Epstein and in fact are better off and without him can now search the island . Why? Because he wrote everything down, has bunkers full of blackmail videos, and every participant is alive, on tape, and just as guilty as he. That being the case, pretty happy he’s gone, although too easy. We then move on to “Person 2”, “Person 3” through all 5,000 members of the 0.001%, arrest them one by one, adjudicate them, and legally confiscate all their fortunes. Hey, wasn’t that an executive order back in the first week of office? Who knew? But it was all an accident and Trump is an idiot.
Arrest, adjudicate, and confiscate everything (then take my kids) what they’d do to me if I didn’t pay a parking ticket. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
“Purdue Pharma Offers $10-$12 Billion to Settle Opioid Claims (NBC)”
But if they stop, red-hat wearing people will live. Then how can I rig elections? How can I steal their stuff?
“Near-Total Ban on Sending Wild Elephants to Zoos Agreed (AFP)”
Do they not know what a mess elephants make? They tear up whole towns for amusement. What they need is space, habitat. Keeping them at home: great! Now those brown people can pay the high cost of death and destruction so you can feel good. So if you care, why don’t you buy the habitat, and not the individuals. Like us, they are expressions of their environment, and you can keep a black rhino, but they will be aliens without a home planet, doomed to wander for all eternity. They are your brothers, don’t make them homeless.
“let’s develop the blight-resistant crops that will feed the world.”
GM crops are not more productive than standard ones, often they are less. However, they are patentable, which vertically diverts profits to single points, and wrests control of food, and thus all humanity, into a few hands, with no escape. The ultimate extortion and terrorism. But let’s start with the obvious: GM crops DON’T WORK. They are more expensive and less productive. Do you like money? I like money.
If it was said by an adult on earth and reported by the news, it’s fake. Pics of amazon are 30 years old, number of fires may be BELOW average, much is standard farming, with the burning on the fields of farms.
But of course, how can Macron and da Boyz screw the world’s poorest while being sanctimonious twits if they told the truth? No profit in that.
“Brexit: Shutting Down Parliament ‘Gravest Abuse of Power in Living Memory’ (G.)”
So Parliament wants power and democracy after they have forestalled and denied all democracy by refusing to follow the people’s will in the first place? Sounds about right. Because if Parliament isn’t in session, how can they stop democracy and keep the people from getting what they voted for?
“But first the U.S. should act by lifting all illegal, unjust and unfair sanctions imposed on
Iran.” All 230 nations and planet earth. Fixed it.“Money pledged by the west to fight Amazon fires: $20 million.
Money pledged by billionaires to rebuild Notre-Dame: $835 million.”Money pledged to fight equal or worse fires in Africa: $0
“Can the press in the US still be saved?”
The press in the US isn’t too bad, it’s just entirely with bloggers, and anyone the opposite of CNN and the New York Times. That’s why Google, Facebook, YouTube, are rigging numbers, money, views, reports, desperately pushing viewers into billionaire mass-media. Because nobody wants that stuff. The only way to get them to watch it is to use RAW FORCE. Remove and deplatform all opposition, ban, debank, smear, boycott and destroy them. You know, like American Army Major Tulsi Gabbard. ‘Cause that’s free speech! The freedom to do and think EXACTLY as I say, until I change my mind four hours from now.
“Will Germany start applying stimulus, even at the risk of rising debt?”
Will I hand out money to my golfing buddies? You bet!
“Johnson & Johnson Gets $572mn Slap on Wrist for Opioid Crisis in Oklahoma (RT)”
Point. But they were killing rural red-hat people and tipping the election, so shouldn’t they really be given a medal? They’re killing 42,000 people a year, more than the peak of Vietnam, so who’s really the victim?
“countries are hoarding dollars. And/or “protecting themselves by racking up enormous piles of dollar-denominated debt.”
Wow, so according to Carney, cash and debt are the same. Assets = Liabilities. Therefore, there is no possibility of logic and there can be no double-book accounting. How the mask slips. #AntiLogos. All things illogical, unworkable, immoral, and wrong. The opposite of logic, reason, honor, truth, and fairness. He’s telling you. If you guys all do nothing but yawn, is it his fault? The devil gives you options, alternatives, that’s all. You COULD obey God, #Logos, as the angels do, or…something more interesting…
“Carney warned that very low equilibrium interest rates had in the past coincided with wars, financial crises and abrupt changes”
Yes, as the wealthy attempt to protect their outsized advantage at the expense of the poor, it does indeed make people grumpy. Their plan is to channel that stress and dissatisfaction into a war, so they can profit even MORE at someone’s expense. Or in our case, start a civil war, for race, gender, politics, CNN and Facebook lies, they care not what so long as it works and happens. Otherwise, they’ll have to go from a $10 Billionaire to a $1 Billionaire, and who wants that? Much rather kill 30M Americans and burn the nation to the ground.
“[Libra] faced a host of fundamental issues”
Yes, the exact same ones they face today: no accounting, no oversight, no restraint, and no limit on how much completely hidden currency they can create. No rules on whether those tokens are distributed on merit and work instead of favor and friends. This is why the US$ is collapsing, and why they can never replace that entirely ruinous, discredited system with one exactly identical. The people, or rather the players, won’t have it. This is also why the SDR is DOA. It is just a basket of the same fraudulent currencies that are illogical on the face and cannot be double-book accounted as cash = debt, assets = liabilities. They can only go to wheat, rice, which will cause undue price increases and starvation, or else entirely useless junk like gold, or today’s equivalent, BTC. No one starves then because no one eats or drinks gold or BTC, but they ARE in limited supply, which hot air from Carney and Draghi is not.
“Globalization is a process, it’s something that moves”
What you’re saying here is that Capitalism (or the modern debt version) must expand or die. That’s relatively true. The debt must increase exponentially or collapse, and China bought them the 30 extra years. However, although Africa exists, is is not exponentially larger than China, and their gambit to dominate world oil and create one world government failed. Their new plan to create EU one world taxation and currency of fraudulent hypothocated carbon credits failed. So here we are. Global financial reset. It can’t go to banker’s fantasy coins, because no one trusts them. So historically it goes to gold, but also to any commodity, anything real, which leads to resource scarcity and thus to war. We don’t have to do that, but history is not kind.
As yesterday, yes, Presidents don’t have much effect, fires are not that different from average in Brazil. Also having themselves burned every tree and made many species extinct in Europe, having turned Europe into a parking lot, Europe tells Brazil they’re not allowed to have paved roads. Nice! If you want it, then buy their rainforest and protect it. Then to show they DGAF, this:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-23/more-wildfires-are-burning-angola-congo-brazil
They also don’t say or care if the burning is EXACTLY WHAT THE NATIVES DO, slash and burn, then let the jungle grow back. So apparently they are against native ways and indigenous peoples now. I wouldn’t bet on it, but it points out they know nothing about natives or agriculture that it doesn’t even occur to them. So should I call them racists and bigots? Ethnocentric nationalists? I mean, that’s what we call everybody in every story now, right? Backing up; hey journalists, do your job: get on the phone and just ask somebody.
So what’s really going on? Yesterday’s article, boy Macron say:“We can’t have trade deals when you act like this.” Oh, so France having destroyed their ancient forest is going to tell Brazilians they have to go hungry and not have an economy? Colonialism much? Yes, Virginia, they just don’t like Bolisaro and want to smear and remove him, as with anyone else who gets in the way of (European) profits. You see, the murder, slavery, and destruction in Africa is being extracted to Europe, so THAT’S alright. Macron and da boyz want to screw the 3rd world a little whiter, drop the deal at the last minute, and squeeze some more concessions for the E.U. mafia. …And that part doesn’t bother me: they’re all Mafias. The part that bothers me is the snooty, sanctimonious, utterly fake morality that they give any d—ns about the environment. They don’t. They stab the last rhino in the eye to buy one more share of Tesla stock and one more night on Little St. James Island. Lookin’ at you, Andrew and your 300 pals, while France investigates Jeffie’s visits to Paris, that Mario funded with his bond fire-hose.
“Hong Kong Police Arrest 36 After Running Battles with Protesters (R.)”
They’re missing that people’s and nations each have their own standards and ways. You can’t judge them all by some kind of “white” western standard. That standard is the consequence of the Enlightenment thinkers and thousands or men who died to protect fredom and those ideas. Thank your lucky stars you were born there. China is not one of those nations. They are not a democracy, never have been and never will be. You have no rights there but what they feel like giving you, and they kill a million or 40 million of you if you make trouble for them, if they have to and if they feel like it. Ask your hero Mao Zedong. So nobody’s watching 5,000 years of Chinese history, or China’s Muslim response in Western China last week? 36 arrested, are you for real kidding me right now? Police probably plant evidence on 36 citizens in the U.S. per week. Per city. London alone has 36 stabbings a quarter.
So 36? Did they hold the protests in Lake Woebegone, Minnesota or Smallville, Kansas? 36 would mean something there. So when the facts are correct but the implication they are attempting are hilariously false, is it ‘fake’ news?
“Not only buying back bonds from governments, but also from banks and companies. What for?”
What for? To hand money to my friends at the expense of taxpayers of course! What other reason could there be? That’s our governmental mandate and it’s going swimmingly, as you can tell because everyone is happy and no one’s mad a bit. If they get mad, Draghi just grabs their handle and stimulates until they have a happy ending. Then they take their private submarines to St. James. But the people cheer, so what can I say?
“Has Anyone Loved Being Prime Minister as Much as Boris Johnson? (Peston)”
Why should BoJo worry? He was installed by his power backers like all world leaders (especially Macron), he doesn’t decide anything. So relax! Don’t do it. Same with Trump: what with thinking he is responsible or runs anything? Certainly Clinton, Bush, and Obama never did.
“a country as prosperous as ours”
They say the same thing here. Hey dummy: we’re not prosperous, as you can tell from the poverty you yourself are describing. Get a clue. The riches at the top are distribution problem that won’t go anywhere if shared, and is mostly illusion and debt. What was the meme where if you took every sports star, every billionaire, all the assets of every company, you could run the U.S. government until November? No joke: just math. Uh, you’re not rich: you’re broke. You’re Third World. Your grid is collapsing and you make and do nothing useful. Wake up.
“English Police Could Patrol Northern Ireland Border After No-Deal Brexit (RT)”
They COULD. But nobody wants a solution, they want to make problems. So problems is what we have.
Looks like a super staged photo, from Shutterstock, but I don’t have time to trace it today.
Shut off brain, citizen! Obey feelings! When have we ever lied to you?
“It bans the practice of fracking to extract natural gas and oil, the import and export of fossil fuels and sets a moratorium on nuclear power plant license renewals.”
…With nothing to replace them. And people wonder why I’m a crank claiming they’re trying to kill a third of people on earth. They are. Get a plan, test it and scale it, THEN tell me we can do this. Maybe. PS, the printing of the trillions would ALSO kill a third of the poor and pensioners with runaway inflation. #HolodormirNow
““…a trade deal with the United States. “Even if it were a strategic choice it would be at the cost of a historic vassalisation of the British state,” Mr Macron said.”
…Said by the man who has vassalized Britain on behalf of France (and their slave-master Germany). It’s impossible for the U.S. to give you worse terms than the EU does every day of the year. Go fly a kite.
“US Teachers Are Again Opening Up Their Wallets to Buy School Supplies (EPI)”
Certainly happens throughout the United States. Hey wait: if citizens are volunteering to get normal tasks done, what do we need the government for? Since I’m volunteering more money, where did my tax money go? Says every citizen ever, 60 seconds after they build a program and let government/bureaucrats run it.
Hey wait! In that chart the exact states that are taxed highest for school supplies are the exact states that aren’t getting them. Isn’t that weird? It’s almost like more government = less accountability and efficiency. Who knew except every citizen ever?
“Wildlife Meeting Backs More Protection for Giraffes (AFP)”
Talk to the bankers in the Western financial system. They set it so Africa has to get more money colonially extracted from the continent. To get this money, they have to farm more land grind more peasants, and therefore clear more wilderness. Result: print money to hand out for private submarines and private island pedo parties on one end, total extinction of wild species on the other. (PS, Africa also plays along instead of defending themselves) It’s like a win-win! It’s never not a good day for murder of all living things! #AntiLogos …And nothing to do with AGW, giraffes, or poachers. They’re all collateral consequence.
“Bolsonaro Burns Down the Amazon (G.)”
Bolsonaro got there like six months ago, what could he possibly have done by now? Unless you think He’s driving out there with petrol and matches, the way they accuse DJT. If Brazilians didn’t approve of it, they would also ignore whatever he says, like the rest of us citizens do everywhere else.
“Time to boycott
Brazil” Belgium. Fixed it.Europe and everyone can cut down all the trees they want, build all the malls, mine all the mountains, it’s fine! But when OTHER guys that I don’t have to pay for try to make a living, O M G They’z evil!!!! We’re all gonna die!!! If you want trees, then dig up your parking lots and YOU plant them. Level Berlin and Stockholm and plant some pines if you care so much. But they don’t care. They just want somebody else to suffer so they can click on a computer shopping for drone-delivery, dump the triple-packaging on China, and watch Netflix while other guys somewhere else do the real work. Oh, see above, about Giraffes for why after 200 years Brazil is forced to do this. Hey, how’d they get in debt? Who holds the debt? Why aren’t they on the beach in Rio and fishing in small boats before the afternoon siesta? Junker, Powell, Carney, Macron, Draghi…
Why do farmers demand RoundUp? Because they’re so ground up, if their profits drop 2% they lose the farm their fathers had for 200 years. Who made that happen? Junker, Powell, Carney, Macron, Draghi…when they aren’t out killing giraffes.
“Trump’s Idiotic, Immoral Rhetorical Attack On Denmark (WE)”
Following from Denmark yesterday, apparently they said, “No thank you, we are siding with Europe, NATO, and your CIA/DS enemies. We will not negotiate.” To which Cheeto says, “Thank you very much for being direct, we will proceed accordingly.” …And that part was public.
My interest is, so according to media like the Washington Examiner, they were mad that Trump was coming, they don’t like him, and it cost a lot of money and trouble, but they ALSO are mad when he DOESN’T visit, and SAVES them all that money and trouble. Sounds like you just are irrational children who like being mad. …No reflection on the Danes, here, just the reporting.
And as usual, fact-free reporting, “Washington Examiner, We Make S—t Up™” “in light of insults Trump directed at the Danish prime minister.” Okay, what insults? That’s the “What” in “Who What, Where, When, Why, and sometimes, How.” More arcane, “Trump’s words are also immoral.” How? To say no thank you? Immoral to try to own a ‘continent’ whose major industry is already our military base? Why? Just ‘cause. Orange Man Bad. Meanwhile, as I say every day, Trump is ACTUALLY doing ACTUAL things, like dropping those “beautiful bombs” in 5 nations we have no authority to occupy, supporting tyrrantical regimes killing their own people and the civilians of Yemen, refusing declassification of public documents, dereliction of duty by refusing to prosecute open crimes and sometimes sedition, prosecuting Assange against the 1st Amendment. …But you see, the Media and Washington Examiner LIKE all that stuff. So you have the strange situation of attacking all the things he DIDN’T do, and NOT attacking all the things he DOES do, which are, in fact, impeachable. Okay then. You lose.
“WHO Claims Microplastics in Water Not Harmful to Humans (G.)”
This is the same ‘science’ that claims RoundUp is as safe as water. And they wonder why I pick on them and no one believes them anymore. Guess what? You’re now the buffalo rattle shamans on top of the cargo-cult volcano. That’s what happens when you don’t do your job and lie continuously for 40 years, protecting your peers when they fabricate data and let 300 random-word articles get printed in your journals, including a word-swapped “Mein Kampf”. Congratulations, Science, you’re now the joke of planet earth, and rightfully so. Clean up your act.
I wouldn’t worry though: Nature herself will solve the plastic problem, but you might not like it.
“The Dog Whistle Heard Around the World (RIA)”
Now that RussiaRussiaRussia™ is dead (although the NYT takes credit for their awesome, correct reporting), they’ve moved to a more desperate play: “How much would a recession hurt Donald Trump.” Now even before this, Democrat Bill Maher said he’d like a recession that would hurt every worker and brown person in the U.S. from sheer spite, just to unseat Cheeto, despite that it’s super easy and a lot nicer just to win the election like a normal person. But here we are. Recession news everywhere, trying to scare a recession into being. Okay. Well, when the economy dislocates and investment flees to safety it won’t be a good economy – we don’t have a good economy even now – but it will LOOK like one, and the DNC and media will be wrong and look like fools again. TDS. Meanwhile they COULD claim to be for working people, I mean, just lie! Win the election, remain a viable political party and move on. But no. There’s never a worker or brown person they won’t attack. /opinion, and /despair.
“White House Preps GOP Elite for “Mild Recession” Before Election Day (ZH)”
Yes, Mnuchin has over-extended the Dow rigging and they need a scare to reset the mechanism. They have 17,000 points of margin to do that. We’re at 26,000, it hasn’t even started, and already rates are lowering and he’s cutting taxes for stimulus. Think he might have this planned into Nov 2020? And that’s above the world crisis he could spark if he wants to flush money into Dow/US$. Hard to say we’re in Recession with a Dow at 40k. (although it’s absolutely possible. We’re in one now at 26k)

“More than two-thirds of the UK’s pharmaceutical imports come from the EU.”
So the EU is planning to have no sales, no revenue, and thus no taxes from pure peevishness? Or do you think they can sell those drugs for profit to the U.K. just like now? Um, probably they can say, as in Idiocracy, “I like money, do you like money? Dude, we should totally hang out.” Or Merkel and Macron could try to kill everyone in Europe that doesn’t slavishly obey, which is much more fun. And people die! So that’s a double win!
“Like Gibraltar, Greece must stick to EU rules”
Why? No one else in Europe follows EU rules, ESPECIALLY about Greece. Remember no bailouts, no transfers, and 50 other things? U.N. provisions on torture war crimes? Refugees? There is no law. They do whatever they want. Just like everyone else.
“MIT Professor Quits in Protest Over Lab Links to Epstein (AFP)”
So you’re using evil money to do good and you want to stop that? By the way, if you take this posture, you can’t take money from any person who is imperfect or has ever done wrong. …Say from those evil ‘Capitalists’, who ‘extract’ money from workers and pollute the planet. …Or yourself. You’ve helped put microplastics into the environment, haven’t you Mr. Zuckerman? And contributed to offshore oil spill by heating your 2,000sq ft house instead of living under a bridge? Be careful where you start with this.

It’s only bad when the OTHER guy cuts HIS trees. When all of Western Europe, England, Connecticut, Maine, Oregon, Vancouver, Alberta, cut their trees to make pallets for Asia, that’s just business you know. A guy’s gotta eat. But when the Amazon, those other guys do it so THEY can eat, well! I never! How dare they eat! I’ve got an idea: start planting and recovering your OWN ecology so you have a leg to stand on before you start preaching about how the other guy needs to take in the shorts so YOU can have the thermostat at 82f, eating jerky on the couch, and watching your 70” TV.
I’ll be over here eating lozenges talking myself hoarse begging people to plant so much as one apple tree their kids can eat and climb in. No takers, but a lot of guys clear cutting to the lot line and mowing down to bare earth. Later, when we’re in that Depression and your kids are thin, you can think of me.
“How Negative Interest Rates Screw Up the Economy (WS)”
Late stage bubble blowing. “There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.” So none of this matters. Most likely, the world collapses first, and the core currency last. That means all capital worldwide will rush into the U.S. for safety, just like 1929. Dow 40,000 (or 30,000 at least), and US$ far too strong. But hey, it was always going to collapse from the minute you blew the gold standard, and this is how. –Count yourself lucky, since they both planned and in 2016 openly promised WWIII to do this reset instead, thus hiding the true plan and culprit.
So anyway, his much feared negative rates won’t be long if they get here. We’ll sit down at a Plaza Accord and set relative currency rates, put trade back on a commodity basis, and erase the debt by running that only-reserve-that-is-worthless-and-connected-to-nothing, gold, to $20,000 to get reserves and pay the debt. But that requires something like trade-production parity, which the U.S. can only have if it hires a lot and China gets whacked. Why? Because failing a World War, which they are trying to start every day, that is the only thing that CAN happen. So it will. Mostly.
“Gundlach Says Federal Reserve Has Lost Control (R.)”
Yes, so as commanded, their rules require themselves to start the money fire hose. Chop Chop. Now did they lose control because Mnuchin is over in the Treasury rigging every market and price with the quadrillion in leverage from the ESF? Probably. Too bad, suckers. Don’t stress. It’ll all be over soon anyway, as above.
“Bank Watchdogs Approve Rule to Loosen Ban On Risky Wall Street Trades (Hill)”
Well golly, how are we going to have an adequately sized financial collapse to cause a world-wide currency reset if we don’t pull out some main beams? You know, like how the original Dodd-Frank, patented by E. Warren, put 100% of the derivatives cost – a trillion? A quadrillion? – right on U.S. savings accounts and taxpayers. Newsflash: we are not paying that. Not to be mean, we’re not paying it because it CANNOT BE PAID. By account holders, OR taxpayers. It will destroy the Fed, or even the U.S. to try. Therefore we, and everyone else, will renegotiate. If we DON’T, however, we will continue on being bled dry as the last 40 years and never recover our health. Or our Bill of Rights.
“10 Declassified Russia Collusion Revelations Could Rock DC This Fall (Solomon)”
But the NYT just said they covered this story super well! They won not one but TWO Pulitzer Prizes. Mr. Pulitzer, who started the Spanish-American war on equally fake, completely manufactured fake stories, and as a shill to billionaires for money and power, would be so proud. And yes, they are going to smack all these revelations into the 2020 election.
“Italian PM Resigns, Denounces Salvini For Sinking Government (R.)”
Step by step they gain power, and the EU loses and becomes bankrupt and irrelevant.
“EU Rebuffs Boris Johnson’s Brexit Gambit (R.)”
They can easily solve this should anyone want to. “See the Irish border? Okay boys, do whatever it is you’re doing now. I’ll be drinking tea.” But they WANT to kill Ireland in order to display their power. Which side? The EU , actually. The UK would be happy to get out of the problem by holding the Status Quo. So again, like Greece, the EU will kill any European, or their economy, at any time, for any reason. Oh, and always blame someone else. With friends like this…

“US Will Act If Tanker Carrying Iranian Oil Delivers Oil: Pompeo (R.)”
The U.S., pirates of the high seas, busybodying everybody’s business in every ship, plane or wallet, everywhere on planet earth. Doesn’t it just make you long for a world government where we can have much, much more of this and no escape? Paging the U.N.: piracy going on, illegal war crimes being committed, pick up the white phone, Dr. U.N. Oh wait: we’re their enforcement arm. The Blue hats couldn’t hold and occupy Cleveland. But they can rape and human traffic in Africa! Allies of OxFam.
May be a theory with Greenland. So recently we heard the big scandal with CIA renditions worldwide, particularly Britain was enthusiastically torturing everyone against all international law. Well, it may be that Denmark was as well, supporting the U.S. actions and particularly flights, which landed where? Greenland. So negotiations go like this: “Hi! Denmark! Long time no see. Hey, I was just looking through this box of classified documents and gosh, wouldn’t you know it, there’s something super embarrassing to most of the endless politicians in Parliament and even to Denmark’s stellar reputation worldwide. But hey, let’s not go crazy or anything, it’s a trifle. Suppose you help us with a thing and we forget all about it, right?” Now is the thing the actual purchase of Greenland (why not?) or is it to hand over the flight-and-base records for the Trump/Military Intel’s arch enemy the CIA in Denmark/Greenland? Or something else? You decide.“Canada Election: Parties, Charities Warned Against Climate Change Ads (BBC)”
What was that Dilbert cartoon? CEO says: “Opinions are treason.” Or as we say here, “When I want your opinion I’ll beat it out of you.” That’s freedom and democracy, you can do exactly what I say, exactly when I say it, and believe only exactly what I tell you to until I change my mind.
This follows Facebook outlawing ads for “Women for Trump.” ‘Cause, Trump, I guess? And this is not election rigging as outlined Professor Robert Epstein about Google, which rigged 2-8 million votes. No. Not when our side does it. Then when we rig votes it’s peace, love, freedom and democracy. The end alwasy justifies the means. My side right or wrong.
““[t]hey’re worried about their jobs, they’re worried about access to health care…”
Yes, and since NAFTA and Obamacare, it’s gotten so, so much worse. Thanks guys. What new plan do you have this time, seeing as the last hundred years in a row you ‘helped’ you destroyed everybody except San Fran and Brooklyn? Why do you think South Bend is such a collapsing ruin out of Sci Fi (like Atlas Shrugged) that Buttigieg had to level all the poor black neighborhoods to build a casino? Did that happen before that Giant Sucking Sound? But don’t worry. They’re going to help us all right to death, and have got a good head start on it. But not this time. This ONE time it’ll all work.
“Trump: Purchasing Greenland ‘Strategically’ Interesting (Hill)”
To me this says he expects Europe to be in crisis within his 5 year time window. He’s setting the stage for Denmark to buy their way out, and cut their expenses in supporting Greenland, as I don’t believe they’re self-sufficient. Can’t hurt to try. With today’s technology of underground bunkers, it’s very different to work there than centuries past.
“Yesterday the press was talking about thousands of protesters. There were 1.7 million.”
Ah, so I guess they’re getting their facts from CNN?
“It would be the end of Hong Kong as a trade and finance hub.”
Although Hong Kong is one of the few places they have adequate CIA/MI6 in, this is particularly relevant. It’s not just about creating trouble, but a specific kind. They also can’t convert a new financial center in anything like the necessary time. It’s organic and can’t just be ordered.

“UK Elderly in Severe Poverty up Fivefold Since 1986 (G.)”
Ah, the joys of inflation. Inflation and the utter mismanagement of Britain such that the Pound falls from 5:1 to 1:1. But since you not only STEAL that money from the elderly but KILL them all too, well, that’s just worth everything, isn’t it?
“History suggests that on average a recession begins 22 months after a yield curve inversion. It’s not until about 18 months after an inversion that the stock market turns negative. Yet Bank of America Merrill Lynch numbers indicate that we have less time.”
Perfect for the election, except, we’ve been in a recession the whole time, and most quarters since ‘00. It’s just the cover up and rigging that’s being overwhelmed.
I guess seen that way, Great Depression, anyone? You know, where a generation lives under bridges in L.A., a generation lost in family formation, and a generation of hiding and “helping” that’s an expensive, catastrophic, complete failure? Yes.
Well, the pretending is ending now, which will clear the markets. No one will like it, but unlike government helping, it will work.
“US National Debt Spiked $363 billion in 2 Weeks, $1 Trillion in 12 Months (WS)”
This is the ‘helping’. $1.5 Trillion a year. Now this is not all, as we know from the $20T missing in govt budgets plus the ‘off-budget’ one-time accounting, plus the FAASB changes that insure there is NOOOOOOOOOOOO government accounting ever again. Any dept. can hide any expense for any reason and call it ‘national security’, which is why democracies don’t have such things. But the exponential curve must increase, and at an increasing rate, now vertical for arguably 8 years, or they collapse. The Donald was installed by military intel to cope with the collapse/reset of that obvious curve, and negotiate our/everyone’s bankruptcy. He is being prevented because, how can they buy up the nation at 10c on the dollar and erase the Constitution if he does?
“Who the heck is buying all this debt” … is becoming increasingly nerve-wracking”
We are, in the PPT and ESF. We have been for years, but all the other nations had no other currency to go to. “It’s our currency but YOUR problem”,c. 1974. China had bailed FHA and crashed us way back when, and Operation Twist was just to cope with their flopping maturities. They already nuked us, financially. We just ate it like the Blob. Here’s the thing: after 100 years of open auctions, rigged by the back door in rate swaps and direct monetization Fed-to-Morgan bond purchases, now even THAT facade is dead. There is NO foreign bond buying. None. They moved the auctions to private, on a private phone call, to hide how bad it is. But as above, we’re in a vertical compounding set in 1971, or even 1963, and math doesn’t care. We can hold it off through direct Zimbabwe means, and are, but the clock is short and we’re here to negotiate the bankruptcy and reset. Worldwide. China bailed out three DeutscheBanks this month, so apparently our trade war is having an effect, and giving us leverage for later.
“Prime Minister Boris Johnson … Westminster parliament cannot stop Brexit”
Speaking of negotiating. The agreement is irrevocably screwed thanks to May’s “treason” but that’s what it is, he’s finally getting them to budge. A little. Probably won’t get much, but neither will it matter. The core currency drops last, so the EU will drop 1st or 2nd and make the UK look prescient. Then it won’t matter. Everyone will finally have bigger problems, and some dose of reality in their ninny little nonsense worlds.
“The Gall of Ghislaine Maxwell”
I wouldn’t call it gall. She’s doing some “In-n-Out” and getting photographed reading “A History of CIA Agents”in public. What do you think she’s saying, this daughter of Mossad who according to Acosta, was the world’s top “Intel” blackmail operation even low-life dummies like me knew about for 30 years, to say nothing of the FBI, CIA, MI6, and Prince Andrew’s security detail. (But Boy Scout Mueller let go on as child after child was raped.) So she is telling them, what, exactly? Since I’d bet 95% THOSE agencies already knew where she was and have been following her from house to house, friend to friend.

Speaking of bailing our Boeing and all-good-friends-of-mine:

Both a major arms contractor and a major financial player, though less than before. What a coincidence. That financial vest strapped on and showing it to the taxpayers. “One wrong move and your wallet gets it. Right after the Constitution.”
“US Yield Curve Inversion Highlights Recession Fears, Fed Dilemma (R.)”
Market trading says the Fed was one Point, or five rate cuts behind the curve. There could be many reasons, but almost certainly a contributor is that the U.S. economy is terrible, only slightly better than the world’s.
However, the core currency fails last. The U.S. non-markets, which are entirely rigged, can collapse 17,000 points to 10k and still not break the technical charts. That’s a LOT of money to flush into our bond markets as Powell starts (continues, rapidly increases) printing money and handing it out to his rich friends. Like bailing all of Boeing? That would just be an appetizer, and someone can explain to me how, as a major defense contractor, the U.S. would ever NOT bail them out of their reckless idiocy, as a matter of double national security: once for their equipment, and once for their financial domino avalanche.
Welcome to the monopolistic merger of corporation and state. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
“Trump’s recent imposition of 10% tariffs on the remaining $300 billion”
They did this when RMB fell below 7 and called them a “currency manipulator”. Want to take odds on that the ESF and PPT did a reverse-raid on China and MADE it fall to that level, since China shoved it right back up in hours? Then we used the raid WE made on China as a premise to re-load the now-empty tariff threat, and by classifying them as a currency manipulator, get another couple hundred billion legally in play to hammer them with. Would we? I would. Why not? All we’re asking is for them to pay intellectual property rights and stop spying in their phones and routers. Is that so hard?
Of course China has to say, “WE? WE are the currency manipulators??? Why you @#*$^! And after 40 years of your rigging the Dow, oil, and the USD.” Well, that’s the big game, they all are lairs and frauds.
“Trump Ties China Trade Deal to ‘Humane’ Hong Kong Resolution (R.)”
Speaking of lies and frauds, I can’t believe that the only way to get Democrats on board is to create a foreign-sponsored CIA color revolution in Hong Kong. Now they are saying “Muh, human rights!” after 50 mass shootings in Chicago and shutting down the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendments at home. Well, whatever works, I guess. We’ll somehow get them to support American Union workers and American prosperity kicking and screaming, tricking them into doing something good despite themselves because apparently they care only about foreigners and non-citizens like Honduras and Hong Kong and not their own citizens. Sigh. Someday they will think of the working man again. Someday. While they’re burning the flag, Hong Kong is flying the American flag and singing the national anthem in love of the freedom we attempt to stand for.

“UK Labour Vows to Bring Down PM Johnson and Delay Brexit (R.)”
That’s nice, except it was a lot of the Labour districts that strongly voted Leave. That’s why Labour was mock-pretending they didn’t have a position while fully undermining their own base. Now that that’s off, they’re trying to divert it into “Oh no: just a No-Deal Brexit.” Sure pal. Whatever. And you support workers and Democracy by importing a million foreigners and ignoring referendums too.
“Why is it Bolton who’s talking trade deals?”
Because he sends maniacs when he wants to make a mess. And he has to have his handlers think they’re still in control, their bois Bolton and Pompeo are running things, or they’d attack him more than now and probably nuke somebody. Unexplained sub launches, incoming scares, and sunken Russian subs anyone? Meanwhile, once he’s gone around them and come to an understanding, written in beautiful paper letters that are not intercepted, he sends in Rand Paul to settle Iran, and Bolton to Mongolia. Ignore what’s said. Talk is cheap.
“Half of UK Farms Could Fail after No-Deal Brexit – Report (G.)”
There is zero chance of this happening voluntarily. First, food is getting in shortage worldwide, with snows in Australia and Germany, and second, the farm subsidies to France are legendary. They can of course attack farmers accidentally on purpose, but they could also, as Trump is doing, take the billions saved on one hand, and hold the farmers even on the other. After all, Britain is home of “Butter Mountain”. But then people would live and not die, and who wants that?
Hey, remember those “expert reports” that the FTSE and Pound would collapse even we even had a vote? And how they were all completely wrong, just as they were with the Dow? It’s the same crooked people cooking these reports, and the same crooked Guardian publishing them next to the RussiaRussiaRussia Skripal Syrian gas WMD ties-to-al-Qaeda safe glyphosate stories, with a byline by Brian Williams, “Live from the moon”. I mean, if after 20 years you haven’t noticed.
“Gibraltar to Release Iranian Oil Tanker on Thursday (R.)”
Aw. Britain has given up pirating but not international war crimes against civilians. How sweet.
Brazilian President Bolsanaro is way ahead of me and Vallianatos on this. He says to save their earth, we just have to eat half as much!
https://www.foxnews.com/world/brazil-president-poop-every-other-day
P.S., being President, and a moron (but I repeat myself) he phrases it “so they can poop half as much”. Ah, Jair, Jair. If only you had ever done a lick of work in your poor miserable life, you’d know that poop is the very BEST thing for the environment. It’s called “manure”, it’s fertilizer and plants love it. From Terra del Fuego to Mexico City all of the south lands were greened and turned into a lush, productive Amazon with just this “pollution” of which you fear.
But anyway, they have it worked out from top to bottom: You’re not going to be eating. They said so. Let’s see if that goes any better for these guys than it went for Marie Antoinette.
This was interesting. In an article where he cites “Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck,” and the first 7 paragraphs are pointless venting and opinion, he then opposes the food system that is keeping food 20x lower than it otherwise would be.
I quite agree with Vallianatos: we should stop mass agribusiness, and the poisons and methods used for more than 100 years are counterproductive. However, he’s trying to kill the bottom 30 Million poorest (and according to him, brownest) people in America by raising food prices 20-fold. Does he have a productive answer to this? Nope. Just like every other Schmarty-guyz with a typewriter. And like them, he shows no interest in ever getting his hands dirty helping grow anything. No, that’s for the French Peasants he mentions. He’ll stay in Paris and whip them to a fury of envy during a farming failure, as his peers did in 1789, directing them to estates and golf courses just as his peers did then, and to the same result.
To show how non-schmartz he really is, he adds, “when the Democrats capture the Senate and the White House, these chemicals should be banned immediately” completely ignoring that Democrats and Republicans have run the country roughly 50 years each. Every combination has occurred. As recently as 2013, Monsanto’s CEO became FDA head under Democratic administration of Obama. DDT was introduced under Truman and banned under Nixon. So since all parties are wildly pro-poison and anti-farm, as proven by a consistent 100 year track history of utter destruction, approved and legally required by farm tax bills and farm subsidies, how shallow can your thinking be to believe that 2 years into a zero-change policy, this President, or either party specifically has anything to do with this?
You know what does? “Democracy”, where two wolves and a sheep vote on what’s for dinner. In this case, two cities and one farm are voting on food policy, and – shocking! – guess what? Cities want food prices low, even if it runs every farmer out of business and desertifies the nation from sea to shining sea. They’ve wanted that since they got the upper hand sometime back in the 1890s and have relentlessly added policies each year to grind and ruin all farmers, farm states, and farm towns into abject poverty and peasant status, reaching the point today where they openly mock them and call for their open murder en masse. …Just as was done in France with a complete, successful, joyful genocide against the Vendees, and as Vallianatos calls for now.
…But this is the cycle of all civilizations. As with Rome, the cities, being concentrated, centralized power, change from a fair and equal cooperation of country and city, and the “civilization” (in this case meaning “city”, as cities are arguably the least civilized locations) then naturally, automatically, advocates for its interests. At first this is small, but the ability to raise their own prices (stocks, manufactured goods, real estate, and currencies), control taxation, and thus increase their own wealth, tirelessly poaches talent to the centers even as the wealth gradually transfers there too. Eventually the imbalance, the deal and human agreement between farm and city is so great that open conflict breaks out, and generally the city attacks and destroys the farmers, aka ‘rebels’. Also being so pin-headed, arrogant, and ignorant, they not only don’t see the root of the problem: that is, abject slavery combined with a hate and smear campaign against the dirty, ignorant, violent subhumans, which the underclass eventually gets sick of. Even today, and worldwide we use the words “Peasant,” “Villain,” and “Churl”, as well as “Robot” “Provincial”, “Hillbilly” and several others, each one a specific smear: city good, smart, and moral; rural bad, stupid, and low.
So here we are again, and Vallianatos is leading the parade. We’re entering a food crisis, and they are again attacking their own food source, and like the Holodormir, kill all the belligerents who know how to farm and replace them with Schmart guyz, because like Idiocracy, you just turn the giant lever at the end of the field that turns on the Brawndo, then harvest 6 months later, right? No one will be mad when they follow his suggestions and food rises 20x in the cities as everything adjusts, right? Just like AOC and the Green New Deal said: kill everyone, be it via food, heat, economics, or delivery transportation.
Let’s not. Instead let’s start a slow, steady transition to required, sustainable, more efficient processes and raising the relative prices slowly so nothing breaks, and city people slowly transfer bodies, wealth, and talent back to the countryside. …But that’s not what history says happens. Prepare accordingly.
No surprise on FDR or other (fake) Socialists and Progressives, but literally none of those 6 things listed can be a “Right.”
Why? Because they are not inherent in one’s self, but require the assets and cooperation of other people. To be a RIGHT for the receiving party, they must be a SLAVE to the providing party. So let me rephrase this. FDR is for the open Slavery of:
1) All Employers
2) All Salary Providers
3) All Homebuilders and Mortgage providers
4) All Doctors, Nurses, and Hospital staff.
5) Anyone he feels like, or everyone in society, who must therefore put you up in their home and nurse you.
6) Every Teacher, Professor, and Apprentice Tradesman.That’s quite a list of slaves: EVERYONE. And who runs that Plantation? Apparently the government, just like Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union during the same period. Therefore, the government employees and party members are the only effective non-slaves. Hey, we know.
Of course each of those things can be legislated for taxation and supported as a Social Good, (albeit not at the U.S. Federal level), but that doesn’t make them “Rights”. You don’t have the right to someone else’s life, their work, their expertise, their time, or their property. You can ASK for it, you can even tax it, but by definition, human rights cannot infringe on OTHER PEOPLE’S human rights. Were it any other way, some animals would be more equal than others, which is Socialism, as above, and is what we have now.
But then, putting all three of those Socialist heroes on the cover of “Time” magazine as “Man of the Year”, and were breathlessly admired among FDR and the “smart set”, and FDR wanted to call his campaign “Progressives”, but couldn’t because Hitler was already using the term. Ah, history! How soon forgot. The one thing we learn from history is nobody learns anything from history. I’ve got an idea! Let’s do it again! One more time for old time’s sake!
“ How Jeffrey Epstein Got His Hooks Into Les Wexner (William D. Cohan)”
Cool story bro. Problem is, we already know that he was using the Victoria Secrets catalog, not for clothes, but for women you would like to ****
buy. No way that was happening without him being in hook, line, and sinker. Was he blackmailed? Almost certainly! But for what? And he never attempted to escape? Or protect his collateral women? Yeah, whatever. These 15-year-old runaways have more bravery in their pinky finger, for still going after this even years later, against the combined force of the Palm Beach and NYC police, the FBI, MI6, and the Queen of England. But aw, he was just a poor wictim, who never meant to rape and traffic all his models for 30 years.
“We may be living through an attempted rightwing revolution,”Uh, no, we are not. What would that revolution be?
“What has happened in the US after the atrocities in El Paso and Dayton”
Where two registered Democrats, including one confirmed to be Antifa shot some folks? The third one wrote about hating “White S.F. Tw-ts” and shot white people at a white festival. And this is “Rightwing” Strange definitions.
“The National Rifle Association may tell Donald Trump repeatedly that any attempt at gun control will not fly with his political base… For the Republicans to become the party in de facto defence of “
Defense of what? Of literal, written, Federal law? That’s what the 2nd Amendment is, though everyone treats it as a sort of optional suggestion. Oh wait: like all laws-I-don’t-feel-like-following. So the Republican revolution involves having and enforcing existing law, or changing laws legally and appropriately with a discussed, debated, approved amendment? Sign me up. Otherwise the Law will be “The Guardian” just following laws they feel like, and ignoring laws they don’t feel like depending on how powerful and connected you are, and that’s what we have now.
So far, fake or false in every paragraph.
“Too many Americans now fear becoming the victims of random murder.”No, they don’t. And nothing has changed. We’ve had this discussion since 1968, and every year they add a new gun law, the shootings get worse. Are we slow on the uptake?
“Few can dispute that, astonishingly, while the US has 5% of the world’s population, it has 35%-50% of civilian gun ownership, a trend that simply has to be reversed.”
We have for centuries, and for the 20th c most of the world did as well and no one was getting shot. Now “The Guardian’s” home, London has that, and higher murder rate than NYC continues briskly with knives as the Bobbys confiscate spoons. Neither are there any stats. If you remove the top 12 Democratic cities, most of which have stringent gun laws, violence is identical to the world average. Neither are white supremacists anywhere – ANYWHERE on that list — nor statistically even whites themselves. But since objective statistics are racist now and used by Hitler, I’ll let you look them up for yourself. Oh wait: “The Guardian”, nevermind. Everyone in America would tell you this if you called both sides on the phone and asked like a “reporter” does, but you didn’t, because when you already know everything from your 6-figure flat in West London, why bother talking to people or reading facts? They just get in the way and confuse the conclusion the smart set told me was “In” when they didn’t look at “stats”, “facts”, or “evidence” either.
“Forty years on, continued rightwing political ascendancy has morphed into today’s menacing rightwing ideologies.”
Again, with facts, don’t think so, as the GOP has moved wildly left, with Trump holding almost the same political agenda as Bill Clinton in 1992. On what are they “right”? Well obviously not racism, since it was the Right that fought a bitter battle for equality against the Southern (All) Democrats. Does the Right want to re-establish the Christian state, with required Church attendance? Oh wait, we never had that. Are they going against gay rights and gay marriage? Nope, not really, and especially not this President. Are they reversing suffrage and equal protection laws against women? Not that I’ve heard. Let’s go old school: the Right are Monarchists; so are they trying to re-establish the king? No? Supporting the government and protecting everyone in Congress and Justice departments, right or wrong, refusing to attack corruption there, regardless of cause? I don’t think so. Expand government to grab power? No? Maybe culturally, they wish to erase technology, get rid of smart phones, PCs, re-establish slavery, go back to the 1950s? Nope.
So I’m at a loss. “The Right” means literally nothing, it is only a scare word to invoke bad feels among a certain body that has been carefully engineered to respond that way. On the other side, “Liberal” serves the same function, but they no longer have meaning. Tim Pool yesterday ran a story of the *real* FBI caution, which was NOT against White Nationalists, since they’re apparently harmless cranks who take no action and all of them would fit in a county stadium, but against their equivalent Black Nationalists, who are ALSO looking for segregation and their ethnostate. I don’t care for either side, that’s not the point, the point was: these two groups who are functionally equivalent, the White side was considered “on the Right” and the Black side, which has the exact same beliefs, were “on the Left”.
Howwwwwwww? How? Because just as this reporter shows, “Left” and “Right” mean literally nothing anymore. There is no definition. The FBI had a definition though: they said since speech and belief are protected under the 1st Amendment (the same Federal Law and Amendments “The Guardian” feel are strictly optional) they don’t really care about the beliefs of their perpetrators. Only whether they COMMIT CRIMES or not. Only whether they are violent. And they don’t care what color they are, violence is a crime. Somewhat refreshing to hear, and also they they are punishing wrong ACTIONS which are real and can be proven, and not wrong THOUGHTS, which cannot.
P.S. the “anti-state instincts” he mentions exist exclusively on the Right, which is how you know Hitler was a Leftist. Tell me how Republicans, who want a government so small you could drown it in a bathtub, are going to have the government apparatus and secret state to oppress anyone? Isn’t that a bit counterproductive? Yet astonishingly, on the Left, they think Donald Trump is Hitler who is coming to kill them all, and they STILL want larger, more powerful, more intrusive government, and believe so highly in Authoritarian dictatorships, the even when their enemy is in power, they believe in increasing state power MORE, and in the opening days of the administration approved a multi-billion dollar Pentagon/Spy bill to make that happen. We on the outside: “How. Is. That. Possible???” If anything would disabuse the Left of worshiping government, surely it would be the rein of Satan-in-charge, but no! Not even that will dissuade their religious fundamentalism that Government-isGod.
“The Very Idea Of A United Kingdom Is Being Torn Apart By Toxic Nationalism (G.)”
Um, how could that be, since Nationalists by literal definition keep their nation together? I won’t expand on this, but “The Guardian” is ON today. With an EU that is nearly collapsed and provably harming its people, lied about everything, following no rules but power, and in a few short years has accomplished the remarkable task of being worse than Westminster, and they’re STILL worshiping the biggest Authoritarian who pretend to the throne, because Government-is-God, there shall be no gods before me. Not even life, income, or self-preservation, apparently.
Article language? They are “Populist” and “National” meaning they are a democratic people who which for self-determination as a nation. How dare they???? Darn you Democracy all to heck! Do what we in Brussels and Westminster, and The Guardian, all your betters, DO WHAT WE SAY! Or I shall taunt thee a second time see if I don’t. And after we taunt thee for being peasants you shall vote for us, you’ll see.
No wonder they hate all and any of us who don’t think Government-is-God, or even (shhhh) that there may be a real God. We are heretics, and burned daily, for we get in the way of their petty tyranny.
“Trump’s Financial Carelessness Could Cost His Kids $1.3 Billion In Taxes”Nice! If he does, he’s a criminal, if he doesn’t, he’s an idiot. Aside from other considerations, the estate tax in the U.S. is this way because it would destroy every (remaining) farming family in every state in Flyoverland and give 100% of that land to ADM, Monsanto, and Chinese front companies. But they attempt to do that every year anyway. Here’s a thought: maybe The Donald just doesn’t care that much about money. I know this is hard for non-rich people to believe, but he is clearly willing and able to transfer the “money”, which is power, to load parts of his family according to their talent and ability without breaking them under the responsibility and strain. This tells me the others are not well-suited to winning the lottery as it were, and having their lives turned upside down, which government and private vultures — and the Madoffs and Epsteins of the world circling and pecking at the fortune daily. He’s holding it so HE can take those assaults instead of them. Would you FORCE your children to sit in that position if it harmed them? Isn’t protecting them, NOT giving it to them, how you would WANT it to be? Talk to some (non-psycopathic) rich people some time; you’ll find it illuminating. Most only use money to keep score because, who can use it? What good is it? It’s more responsibility than treasure. But when “Government-is-the-only-God and Mammon-is-his-prophet”, who would notice? We can’t understand this because money is our God, and the very thought of anything but money — like family — is incomprehensible to Forbes reporters.
And they wonder why normal, sane people hate the media.
“ Albert Edwards: “Chinese Authorities Lost Control Back In 2015” (ZH)”
Not saying we can win the trade war, or that there are any winners, but this shows we do have leverage. As said 20x, they cannot shut off U.S. AG since if they buy from Brazil, Brazil’s buyers then buy from us. There is no surplus on planet earth, we eat the food we eat. Is it really that hard to just enforce patent rights and cut down fentynl? Everybody else manages it.
“ China Nationalizes Third Bank Since May (SCMP)”
It is hurting them, but they also can do what they want because they’re not a market economy. (neither are we) So is this all necessary in the currency/trade reset, or are they still trying to start a war with China the U.S. can lose 1919-style?
Like I said last week, I’d be shocked if nearly the entire protest wasn’t caused and run by us. Yesterday, we had the pictures. The U.S. said publishing the truth like that wikileaks guy was “gangster tactics”, i.e. illegal. Yes, we know you’d like to make real journalism illegal. You tell us every day when you call it “hate speech.”
“Who’s Afraid of Tulsi Gabbard? (Matt Taibbi)”
Tulsi is trying to help them, just as I am. What she said of Harris is true, so were Harris the DNC candidate what do you think DJT would say about her to voters? You want to hear this the first time then? There ain’t no safe space here, thankfully. If her flaws are too exploitable it’s critical you knock her out and not waste DNC effort with softballs and fake polls propping her up.
She only “burst into headlines” as this candidate most likely to pull swing voters has had a total media blackout rivaling Ron Paul’s. These stances were not standard, as Harris has the low honor of being the only person on stage who is literally a slaver: like the Dutch in the 17th century, she pulled up to her neighborhoods, rounded up children who were innocent or guilty of only petty crimes she carelessly participated in (i.e. pot), sent them to private prison making uniforms to keep profits up, then when their release dates arrived, refused to release them. That’s quite a record, and not a winning one for 2020. And how is this not like the African coast in 1700?
In response, the DNC breathlessly support her, then ignore this certain to be brought up, then attack and smear Tulsi with violent falsehoods who is doing them a big favor, then attempt to hide her entirely-public record by erasing Harris’ public data off the California government website. I can’t fathom the ways you are attempting to lose, by what breathtaking, awe-inspiring margins you are trying to lose by promoting a candidate like this. Apparently Buttigieg’s leveling of black neighborhoods and making them pay for it was not villainous enough; they had to find someone ‘more’. And it’s true: he’s just a piker in those terms.
Anyway, so now they’re doubly mad that a Democrat is getting excitement and rising in the polls among Democrats and Republicans alike. No! This well-spring of popularity for us and our party must be stopped at all costs and by all means!
And some would think it hyperbole that lifelong Democrat Kunstler says they’ve committed suicide.
“Also from the Miami Herald. Epstein was abusing girls while serving a sentence for abusing girls.”
So weird, and with all this sudden headline news this week, that the day this drops is the day the Federal Prosecutor retires. And they wanted her for the top job, overseeing Trump. Well, another mystery and coincidence, what can I say? Life is filled with them.
“a slimy perv who recruited high school girls”
To show we haven’t gotten to the bottom yet, he was also VIP at a Minnesota Girls’ theatre camp. Had his own house on site and everything.
“40 Rebuttals to CNN’s Bias on Assange (Fidel Narváez)”
Yes, well CNN attacks journalism every day they remain open. And attacks real journalists both within and without, which is their very reason for being: to pretend to be news to replace the real news with what their handlers prefer.
“all major newsrooms should also be called “election interference centers,”
You’re right! We need to shut them down immediately! And we’re working feverishly on that now, handing it all to Google, who openly vowed to interfere in both 2016 and 2020, then took visible, verifiable steps to throw perhaps 8 million votes, by colluding with MI6, GPS, and Ukraine.
“Conductor Boots Racially Abusive Teenage Girl Off Wellington Train (Stuff)”
This is quite likely to be harassment or even assault, which are not protected free speech. Neither are aggressive customers required equal service, as any pub knows. However, the only reason anyone published the article is because of WHAT she was saying to be disruptive, and the WHAT doesn’t matter: if she is arguably accosting customers, she is required to be legally removed. Another common day at work on planet earth.
“nobody is stopping to think about the impact it would have on the everyday lives of the people we serve as politicians.”
Great rhetoric, problem is, the PEOPLE TOLD YOU WHAT THEY WANTED. Now once again, the schmartz-guyz say, “Nah, we know best. That’s not REALLY what you want.” No, actually it was. “But it’ll be hard.” Yes, I don’t think a single person who voted Leave didn’t realize it would be very difficult, probably cause a recession, and possibly drive the Pound to 1:1, BUT IT WOULD BE WORTH IT. It was worth remaining British, worth having your freedom, that freedom should not vanish from the earth.
But of course they know better. “I want you to be a slave, why wouldn’t YOU want to be a slave, I care not whether to Westminster or to Europe, since we are the same.”
And his main beef? All those London-Westminster minions have to pay an extra C-bill for their sex-slave vacations in Romania and Ibiza. Well paint me with butter and call me a muffin folks, people in Blackpool will just be all broken up to hear that.
“unprecedented, unconstitutional and anti-democratic abuse of power”
May was ousted, and BoJo put in expressly TO enact this “major policy decision”, that was the point. So what you’re saying is, we need an election to clarify, but after we have the election, you’re not allowed to implement policy because a) we’re not really really really really sure about the last Referendum, vote of confidence, election, and outster…might just be an accident, should ask again, and b) we, the opposition obviously would love to have an election 100% the time, and prevent your policy 100% the time. Therefore you can’t enact policy because someday one of our election attempts will succeed. Do I have this right? Right.
By the way, no-deal is not a “Decision”, the decision was made in the Referendum, and confirmed in the election. It’s nothing new, no change at all. Doesn’t matter if he brought in a team to make it happen, that’s his right as PM, and those are his legal delegates. I’d say if you don’t like it, vote him out, but apparently elections don’t matter anymore: win or lose, you are not allowed to implement policy, and whatever the people want or express, the only thing that matters is what the “In” crowd in Westminster tells you to do. That’s Democracy!
Like or or not, if you start down this road, where elections no longer mean one side gets to steer for a while, then the immediate result will be shooting in the streets for means of control instead. Everyone good with that? I’m not. That way there be monsters.
“FBI Director Christopher Wray as “Trump’s personal enforcers,”
Gosh, these guys might want to wiki “FBI” because they have never heard of “J. Edgar Hoover.” Yes, the FBI is a lawless, crooked, political enforcement body* and always has been. There hasn’t been a year since their birth they weren’t spying, rigging, arresting, tampering, and oppressing. Problem is, these guys want all that crooked violent, illegal corruption for THEMSELVES and are mad somebody else is using it. Aw. (*I should add the caveat, “at the top.” Agents themselves are generally normal policemen, as in every occupation, subverted in their jobs by management corruption springing pals and playing favorites)
“Good people lie”
Sure, James. Policemen are always good and always mean well when they perjure themselves on the stand, fabricate and withhold evidence, and imprison unjustly, because they actually believe all the people they don’t like must be guilty of something we-not-sure-what. (Cue RussiaRussiaRussia) I’m sure us citizens will understand all the years of perjury and railroading, because we are subject to it all the time, and are imprisoned forever or shot for the slightest infraction. But so we have it, clear admission: Comey, and apparently all his managers and coworkers over the years, literally cannot tell good from bad, right from wrong, legal from illegal. We know, but thanks for making it clear in a simple quote.
P.S. he also has no loyalty, throwing anyone but himself under the bus to be mangled for life. I’m sure any other FBI boy scout would do the same. Because Boy Scout/mustache-villain, who can really tell the difference?
“Uber Loses $5.2 Billion on $3.2 Billion in Revenue (WS)”
Who cares? Powell will just spray Uber and everybody else (aka “all my friends”) with the money fire hose.
“Italians need certainty and a government that does things, not a ‘Mr No’,”
A lot of people disagree with this statement, since the government destroys literally everything it ever touches over the last 5,000 years. Best thing we could do is pay them to play golf instead of helping us. War on Crime and Poverty, anyone?
“It will be a peaceful protest as long as the police do not show up…”
Obviously, it would be a peaceful, perfect world if everybody did what I wanted and no one opposed me. By extension, of course, “All this violence is YOUR fault!” Spoken like any 2-year-old.
Should redo the slave map for human trafficking, which apparently only one half of one party cares about or is going after. It would be illuminating to see which party’s territory has nearly all the neuvo slaves, but apparently NY and Miami are on the “strongly support” list.
“The Japanese were guinea pigs and not white/caucasian.”
Aw V that’s horse-puckey. They immediately did the Bikini tests and irradiated all the U.S. and French sailors on purpose for amusement, for which thousands died. Today, we’re using D.U. throughout all our Iraq deploys and killing the soldier’s wives at home. Like Comey, sadly they cannot distinguish right from wrong, and are mentally unable to care which race or person they murder. Race is just meant to have us fight each other.
It is the most beautiful boat. I wish I could see it IRL.
Quite correct: they are desperate to start a civil war, and are most of the way along succeeding. Now the sides are not equal in several ways, their plan depended — the plan always depends — on the Leftist, Progressive, National “Democratic” Socialist “Worker’s” Party to have the levers of government. Why? Because they are so ineffectual that is the only way their side can be as strong as the people, especially in America. And we know which side as that famous historical party from Austria was the party of gun control, purges, censorship, billionaires, wealth transfer, and burning books.
But it makes no difference. The war is “lost” when either side takes a shot, because the whole nation loses when there is civil conflict, even at a low level. We haven’t gotten there, but the specific lack of truth, no declassification, and no enforcement of law against parties small but especially big, means that this entirely fake nonsense is allowed to go on endlessly. As the other Mr. D. says, the plan was 1917, carefully engineered since the Rush Limbaugh days, to get a hollowed-out America in a war that they would lose, in this case with China, and as that unpopular war has unnecessary hardship and fails, you assassinate the Tsar and send a train of gold into Cleveland to let the Red Bolsheviks and the White Bolsheviks grind each other. Worked last time, and these maniacs have no imagination. Why should they? It works and they can even publish their plan for years and no one reads. Doesn’t matter who wins, as that rotten, anti-Feudal American experiment still ends, and the Bill of Rights is extinguished for 1,000 years, as they have now tried for 250 years to destroy.
Will that happen now? Perhaps not, as the sides are no longer equal. However, the full consequence of 100 years of dismantling and 50 years of universal lies and race-baiting cannot be easily undone. “We will know we have succeeded when everything the American people know is a lie.” –CIA Director Casey. However, you cannot have no truth, no law, no work, no morality, and just toddle off to green pastures. It always takes a crisis, a collapse, a hardship defining a generation, worse than 1933, to smash people with reality and get them even slightly interested in the straight and narrow again. Nothing can help that.
“The Hunt” is a good example of this in several ways. First, the face-levels, yes, that we idolize murder and is acceptable, fabulous, amusing to watch the most gruesome, inhuman acts 6 hours straight through CSI:Primetime, and yet go bananas if someone breastfeeds and shows a nipple. Aaaaaiiiiii! Call da Police! Life vs. Anti-life, #Logos vs. #AnitLogos. Yes, the face-level is it’s fun, amusing, and acceptable to murder any red person you see. Yet you’ve finally seen the Right get fragile and go ’round the bend too. As much as for 30 years they would spit in your eye and say “Molon” and “Laissez-Faire” (leave me alone) before now, they finally got them to go “They’re killing us!!!” When nothing’s happened except a camera crew showed up with actors. On the second level, they’re now fragile and being carefully engineered because the premise is Red v Blue, which means the Red side ALSO has a hero. So why not focus on that person and their heroism overcoming Mr (Mz? Hz?) Blue? I mean, what do you think “The Hunger Games” was about? Rounding up and murdering Flyoverland. Exact same plot, yes, we noticed, because for us it’s not fiction, but a Monday.
Continues with “time for talking is over”, and that the other side is non-rational. Which other side? There’s a lot of non-rational people around. Oh you mean the 1:1,000 people in your own town, a tiny minority of fringe people and ideas made to look large with careful story choice and camera shots? The neighborhood, the town, is mostly the same as ever; use your head. For better or worse, towns, peoples, cannot change that fast. That’s also how you know the nation that voted for Obama twice is not suddenly filled with white supremacists, but #AntiLogic, #AntiLogos, 247365. Maybe someday, but not 18 months after sharply approving of a black leader, and presently, black candidates, mayors, generals, Congressmen, and black cabinet members.
It’s all a scam, people: stay out of it. Enforce the rule of law and tell the truth in your own life for a change. You think the Amish kids are this deranged? Anyone ever ask why if you do hard work for your family in the open air from an early age and go to Church on Sunday, things go pretty well, don’t end up feral and drug-shattered nihilistic suicide like the Suburbs? But they cannot be moral, they cannot be for-life until their hearts change, and that takes hardship. One we are courting and certain to find, as all who pursue empire (on behalf of a tiny minority) find. Let us hope it won’t be too bad, and a minimum now. Strangely, I expect so, however, the nation will therefore turn isolationist again, dissolve into the 50 states intended, and unable to help and strengthen Europe’s vanishing freedom. You’re on your own.
And Trump does NOT have that power: Congress does. Why? Because despite calls and slanders to the contrary, generally DJT DOES follow the law — is that not a good thing? So he cannot help you. And they will not do it and it will not be enough. The only change that matters is the heart.
“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” –The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
“Boris Johnson is just a figurehead.”
What this is telling you is that, like here, two factions of oligarchs or Deep States are wrangling for control and direction. This can be a precursor to war because the population virtually never is aggressive to anyone without the oligarchs driving them to a fury on the basis of generally false hatred, as we see here now.
“Consider this: we now have a prime minister and a government, buttressed by a not inconsiderable rump of the Conservative party, who have made it clear that there is not a convention they are not willing to break, an institution they are not willing to smash, a precedent they are not willing to burn, in the pursuit of their goal.”
Thanks for the lies! On top of all the other lies you told before now! Well, let’s see, BoJo did not round you all up and have you shot on London Bridge, so I’m pretty sure he’s still following normal conventions, despite childish screaming to the contrary. They should go visit an ACTUALLY fascist, dysfunctional nation to calibrate their dial on what is or isn’t illegal, or hardship, or what-not. Chill, Winston.
But perhaps now that they’ve lost their balwark of anti-citizen moles, tirelessly undermining British interests, they are going to do as above and tell lies on false hatred to cause a fake civil war, as here. If you get to that war, perhaps then you will realize how good, how generous, munificent, fabulous you have it now, despite all. Same here. It doesn’t matter who shoots first, and the day after, no one is going to be obeying your pronouns. Consider carefully.
“Brexit: Michael Gove Accuses ‘Wrong And Sad’ EU of Intransigence (G.)”
It wasn’t sad and wrong. If Theresa May is going to undermine and sell out her nation with a hilariously fake negotiation, the EU should take full advantage of her. That was why they aligned and placed moles like her into government in the first place: to destroy and erase Britain, attack and impoverish the people, and establish the EU as an unelected, unaccountable, Soviet bureaucratic state that will still be killing Greeks 1,000 years from now. That’s the whole point. Ask Orwell, he only told you in excruciating detail since the 30’s, but apparently no one can read words.
“US Trade Deal – Larry Summers (G.)”
Speaking of moles tirelessly undermining their people and governments. This is the Schmarty-geniuz who both destroyed the U.S. financial system before ’08 AND lost Harvard endowment one B I L L I O N dollarz (cue Dr. Evil). It’s also rumored he and his posse embezzled all the gold bars from Ft. Knox. Please T-G, trust and credit everything he says like a good minion.
Like I said last week, “do you think the U.S. is going to stand around and let Britain sink and starve to help the EU, even despite that they are rigging our elections and undermining our democracy and institutions?” Well, we probably SHOULD, we probably SHOULD invade and bomb them, since that’s what we do now with Tony Blair’s approval, but point of fact we won’t because they’re family. And I’m fine with that, as I’m sure almost all Americans are too. Summers is lying, which you knew because he is an American adult quoted in the news.
“Met Police Examine Vladimir Putin’s Role in Salisbury Attack (G.)”
Wow, they have a warrant for Vlad’s townhouse now? Because otherwise, I don’t know where you get new evidence, or evidence discovered, to narrow responsibility beyond the Russian State machinery. I heard he pushed the FSU typing clerk aside, threw him to the floor, then sat down and hacked the orders and servers himself. Then rode a bear back to Moscow’s ring, mauling little children along the way. Summers said so, quoted in The Guardian.
“Pentagon Set to Prevent “Unacceptable” Turkish Invasion of Northern Syria (ZH)”
Hey, only WE are allowed to illegally attack, invade, murder, and hold those pipeline routes! Somehow our oil got under their sand again. And the U.N. says…. Ah, nothing, just like Syria, Libya, Ukraine, Yemen, human trafficking, OxFam rapes, British pirating…
“I can report absolutely that the Durham investigators have now obtained an audiotape deposition of Joseph Mifsud, where he describes his work, why he targeted George Papadopoulos, who directed him”
Oops. But don’t worry. Discovering the truth won’t matter: because minions, it won’t be reported and no one will be arrested, just like the last 20 years.
Ah another day in the magical 21st century.
“China Confirms It Is Suspending US Farm Products Purchases (CNBC)”
Amusing and makes good headlines, but the world only produces the food it produces. There is no surplus and is probably a deficit. If China buys Brazil’s grain, Brazil will buy Iowa’s. I’m sure China has some stockpiled for just this cause, but food is large and perishable and they can’t store anywhere near enough. Besides, the #3 is a paltry $6B? Congress wastes that kind of money before lunch. We bailed out $23,000 Billion, 3,800x more, admitted, when no one was hungry and nothing was at stake, just ‘cause we didn’t like the Dow going down.
“as well as human rights abuses,”
Pretty ironic considering this came out today: https://truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom/british-complicity-exposed-in-latest-cia-torture-unredacted-report/
ONE of these two nations is going around the world bombing without UN approval or acts of war, kidnapping, torturing, and dumping people, then subverting the totality of their judicial and oversight process to hide their war crimes, and the other nation is named “Venezuela.”
“Extract all the meaning and purpose from being here on earth, and erase as many boundaries as you can from custom and behavior, and watch what happens, especially among young men trained on video slaughter games. For many, there is no armature left to hang a life on, no communities, no fathers, no mentors, no initiations into personal responsibility, no daily organizing principles, no instruction in useful trades, no productive activities, no opportunities for love and affection, and no way out.”
This has been life since the day I was born. Every day it gets worse, we see the deadly results of our plans, our goals, our push towards fewer restraints, and are faced with a choice: should we keep going, or return to the #Logos? Every day, they say, NO!!! We WANT more collapsed bowling alleys, strip malls, hovering tattooed drug addicts and prostitutes, and every inch of America less safe for our children. WE MUST HAVE IT!!! So here we are, still waiting. You can go back, repent, any time you want, just like any other sinner or addict. They won’t. You can only see on T.V. the fever pitch that their rebellion against Reality, Order, and Sense has come to. Jerry Springer of the 90s now looks like Billy Graham. But not to fear: reality doesn’t get tired. It is waiting patiently for you.
What was that prophesy about this being the last President? When a nation is psychologically incapable of governing itself, incapable of showing restraint, not attacking and robbing others, when not watched hostilly and brutally ridden, I don’t know what to say. A system “made only for a moral and religious People…wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
“Their arrogance and hubris have grown to vast proportions and will eventually result in a bloody backlash from those they have screwed over.”
Yes, except they live in a gated bunker and like and have planned that sort of thing. In reality, it will be a backlash of all of us against each other, as “eat the rich” simply means, “kill and steal from anyone who has $1 more than me.” You know: the communist manifesto, the idolizing of the 10th Commandment, turning a mortal sin into God and doctrine. If you don’t want the #Logos, then you are free to do so! Then you may have the law of the warlords, no rules, where whoever is strongest does whatever he wants, and you are a slave. That is your Freedom. “Liberty” however, contains responsibility that you do not infringe on the life and property of others, as defined by a Constitutional Republic. Your choice, but there will only be one warlord in each area, he won’t be nice, and it won’t be you.
“Things Fall Apart (Michael Krieger)”
Yes, but the point of the whole plan going back before HW was to destroy, or as O. said, “fundamentally change the U.S. as we know it.” by erasing the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Middle Class. Use your eyes: it’s not like they hide it. The plan is going off-track now, but the careful undermining and conflict sown for 50 years can’t be undone in a month or two. So when the unsensible Iraq war gutted all our working hardware and all our men so China would prevail while we paid Google to help them with the Scandia Lab patent book and Google’s Dragonfly, the whole POINT was to make China strong enough to compete with the U.S., and therefore take a swing once they felt powerful. And the U.S. would lose, but cannot be occupied, so the HW’s, the Deep State kids would be the unopposed rulers of the former United States, and build it again on the new cycle, only without all those stupid “laws” and “rights” and “caring”. Things don’t just “Fall Apart,” they have to be helped, and we have recorded all the thousands and thousands of NY Times stories of their “helping it along” for 40 years. …But no, it’s all one big accident, and when 10,000 of these “mistakes” were made, no billionaire got mad and ran that Senator out of Congress and plugged the leak. We just accidentally hit blackjack 8,500 out of 10,000 times.
“her buccaneering spirit sapped by a culture of dependency.”
I dunno. Seems like Britain is still stealing gold, pirating ships, and starting new false wars all the time.
“He’s a prime minister who is intent on taking us out of Europe against our will,”
Not to fear, Nicola! No one is leaving Europe! Scotland and England are both in Europe, and will be in 9,000 years when no man can remember your name or even that your nation existed. What they might leave is an unelected, unaccountable EU that is enslaving and even murdering you by the 10,000’s, as in Greece. …Not that other governments don’t, mind you, but one must have standards.
Basically this:
Have you not been up to speed on how this is what one must always, always do upon encourtering “ideas”? And then ban them and the web hosting service they run on.
Yes, but we DO say that about the United States, almost every day. When you spend 100 years getting into trouble, there’s a lot of blame to go around.
I can only think there are 10 supercomputers on each side scenario-planning these moves. That’s literally beyond our ability to foresee, but you’d be surprised how far a little common sense gets you in comparison.
Traders today are apoplectic about the moves and Trump (and a bit oddly, as they are generally GOP). “The dollah is a gonna devalue!!! Incoming!!!” Okay, point taken, obviously. But devalue against what? Not the Yuan, I guess, as China beat us to it. The Pound? Don’t look like, at least for a while. The EU, with $10-ish Trillion in derivatives waiting to go off, and the EU possibly ceasing to exist as soon as Italy can figure? Nope. Canada and Australia whose commodities are sagging and housing bubbles are popping? What’s the next currency? Don’t know: it’s so small and far away you can’t read the print without special equipment.
Not saying that won’t happen, but the goal of politicians is to screw their people white by spending money on their golfing pals and devaluing the currency, you know, like Venezuela, Argentina, Zimbabwe, and for Cobb’s benefit: the United States. But as Bastiat noted, “the great fiction [is that] everyone endeavours to live at the expense of everyone else.” Mathematically this is impossible, but you have irresistible force, i.e. Bernanke’s “device in the basement of the Fed, the printing press”, and the immovable object, i.e. everyone else ALSO has a basement device called a printing press. And they ain’t afraid to use them, clearly.
But this is only a problem when, as usually happens, you think about the world in terms of “money”, which it isn’t. Money is a fantasy, just a token language you use to represent REALITY, and you can’t print or devalue REALITY on demand. So currency devalue against what? Well, stocks, bonds, blah blah blah, since 10x overvalued, maybe not in this cycle. Houses? Probably passed too. How about WHEAT? How about PORK? How about oranges, corn, zinc, gold? Um, definitely? In that we have clearly and ALREADY started a 50-year delayed cycle in commodities because no one on earth has been about to plant, and no one has a surplus, despite all China’s protestations to the contrary that their people don’t need to eat. What else is “Real” thing, which has no overcapacity and it mathematically constrained? Bitcoin, $12,000, doubled in 3 months. P.S., who will have a trade surplus if Iowa corn rises 20x vs. Keds and iPads?
And there you go. They CAN all devalue as is their ardent wish. By raising food prices 20-fold, back to the historic average. They CAN do it, but they won’t like it, by swapping the dollar we owe too many of in a partial default, and go back to a gold, and now crypto-standard.
Oh wait: that’s what the “Global Financial Reset” is. And it’s what people like me have been saying will have to happen for 20 years in order to stop lying, stop endless war and corruption, and right the system. And it’s what China and Russia…and Germany, and Netherlands, and everyone else wants and have been planning for, since they’ve been buying and repatriating stacks of gold. And here we are. A lesson in government and socialism coming up: everyone can NOT live at the expense of everyone else.
Whoops, forgot FHA and $2 Trillion College loan rigging. …But if I named all the rigging that’s openly and illegally going on, I wouldn’t have time for anything else, and I have lot of work to do for all those Harvard guys, inside-trading the market and not paying taxes, and all the guys complaining while eating doritos and watching cable in sweet, paid-for A/C.
““The fact that they have now stopped defending 7.00 against the dollar suggests that they have all but abandoned hopes for a trade deal with the U.S.,” he said.”
Yay? We’re getting billions of revenue in tariffs and almost none of that cost is passing through?
Unfortunately we’re almost certainly precipitating riots in Hong Kong, and as they need a war to escape with their $50 Trillion heist, they’ve pivoted and decided it’s going to be with China.
“Job Growth in Trump Land Is Dead in the Water (MW)”
Yeah, they know. The difference is, one part says, “I hope you all die,” and the other says, “It’s going to be tough, but how about plugging the leak and getting a job?”
“25 cities that are home to about 30% of Americans will capture about 60% of the job growth”
Yeah, we know. 100 years of tax, compliance, and incentive laws have arranged that only oligopolies merged with banking and government have any financing or customers. That’s why people are mad at them. But don’t worry, that’s the fault of Flyoverland, who voted against all this since Perot, and a lot of it since Carter or Truman.
“The
New York metro area,Wall Street added more jobs over the past year than all the small towns and rural areas — with 46 million people — did combined.” Fixed it.Same story in London and worldwide. Since Gordon Gecko: if you produce anything, you get screwed, get nothing. If you do and make and create nothing — or even sit around, say you’re a victim and complain — you get all the money of all the guys who DO created something. And how can that happen? Only with the help and force of government. Otherwise, it would right itself.
“We’re going to have a lot more immigrants. A lot. They’re expecting a net 22.5 million more immigrants to come to the U.S. over the next 20 years.”
Yeah, we know. 2 Million a year, since we’re so ungenerous, and the U.S. is such a hateful, racist country that 2M people will sneak in locked in a shipping container with the good chance of being trafficked/raped while their child dies of dehydration dirign your $10,000 trip. Obviously any nation you’d risk that to live in has to be terrible. And with probably 17% real unemployment, and deep government incentives for robots and mass-punishments for employers, naturally there are jobs for all the poor people we have now.
For the rest, or maybe even that, it’s all un-perceptive straight-line projections of cyclical patterns and unsustainable trends. Surely if we can get to $100 Trillion we can get to $1,000 Trillion debt, right? $100,000 Trillion? A million billion trillion? Why not? Marketwatch says so.
“But it seemed like every few years, another great massacre would unfold”
Yes, because only insiders and friends of banks can get financing for golfing pals when you crash fire-sale real assets to 10c on the dollar. ….And then the great mystery in yesterday’s billionaire-financed economic schools about how all this income disparity happens, the rich getting richer and all. It’s called “Disaster Capitalism” and besides Mises for 100 years there’s been a best-seller on it, but nobody knows nothin’. What we need is MORE control, MORE market-rigging, and MORE pals from Harvard Business School and Goldman Sachs alumni at the feeding trough.
Only in the past? “one of the most epic communication f–k ups by a central banker.”
Really? And his golfing buddies he signaled ahead of time? Did they think it was a f–k up? How did their trades go? By the way, although Morgan and Sachs are openly rigging (see fines paid), AND the Fed by definition rigs or “controls” interest rates, AND the PPT rigs markets by definition, AND Congress rigs markets via new legislation or even discussion of such (see Google/media last week), AND the President rigs markets via twitter and trade talks, you might be forgiven for forgetting that there is ALSO a “Exchange Stabilization Fund” far larger than all these, far quieter, who is ALSO rigging every market. …And then there’s the illegal-but-ordained HFT’s who ALSO rig, and do so because their trading covers all the other rigging going on, by every insider, every where, at every time.
…But we’re a free-market system, and the problem here is Capitalism.
“the world is one step closer to collapse as a clueless PhD hack is in charge”
Author not up to speed here. There have been 100 years of “experts” matched with 100 years of failures, and NOW he’s worried about an amateur? Clearly with 100% failure rate, you could pull a golden ticket from a national cracker jack box and have better luck than Princeton, Harvard, and Yale. Even a blind squirrel – or average high-school dropout, doing part-time welding in Akron, Ohio – would manage to succeed in high finance at least once on sheer accident. Not these guys. And every time they fail, their pals at Princeton, Harvard, and Yale get richer. Wot a coincidence! Now why is everyone but the top 25 cities failing? I dunno, it’s a mystery to dummies like me!
“All of this is known to be true by every Blairite, every Clintonite, by the BBC, by CNN, by the Guardian, the New York Times and the Washington Post… is the article of faith for the political elite who cannot understand why the electorate rejected the triangulated “consensus” the elite constructed and sold to us, where the filthy rich get ever richer and the rest of us have falling incomes, low employment rights and scanty welfare benefits…. Except virtually none of this is true.”
Wrote it myself.
“
PovertyMurder as a means of getting rid of the unwanted.” Supported by every Blairite, every Clintonite, by the BBC, by CNN, by the Guardian, the New York Times and the Washington Post… an article of faith for the political elite who cannot understand why the electorate rejected the triangulated “consensus” the elite constructed and sold to us, where the filthy rich get ever richer and the rest of us have falling incomes, low employment rights and scanty welfare benefits. But I repeat myself.“Bellingcat Unloads 4,000-Word Hit Piece on Tulsi Gabbard (RT)”
They just don’t like her because she’s the only present Democrat who could win. Nein! Achtung! Verboten: must relive ’16, over and over, forever. Besides, Bellingcat is hilarious, and like Dennis Gartman, a perfect indicator: it is always the precise opposite of what they say. You can make a million dollars with this advice. You’re welcome.
They’re working overtime to start a race/civil war this week. Don’t fall for this garbage, just swiftly and fairly execute the rule of law. Also don’t fall for the outrageous lies of attribution. The NZ was from a supremicist, yes, but a Trump-hating environmental extremist. CA was a Supremicist who somehow hated all the “white tw-ts from San Francisco” in his town, then as a racist, obviously went and shot exclusively white people — terrible aim. Now OH is a supremicist that is a communist, antifa, border-protesting Warren voter, and of course not-related-to-anything, let’s-not-jump-to-conclusions, a satanist. Then the CO guy, core Antifa, who tried to blow up ICE with all the Mexicans inside. So caring! Before that, the right-wing radical that shot up Congress was a Bernie voter. Not that both sides don’t get one off — or that France doesn’t either — but you can’t believe what you read without looking for yourself, because if an adult American said it, if it was reported in the news, it’s a lie.
So “Remember the Maine!” Perfect example of that OTHER false flag, fake premise, or whatever excuse you wish for whatever you wanted to do anyway, like invade oil-rich Iraq for something Afghanistan (maybe) and Saudi Arabia (definitely) did. Hey, I’ve got an idea: how about we INVESTIGATE, gather evidence, follow procedure, and the rule of Law, and hold the ACTUAL party responsible? Nah, that’s much less exciting. Besides, it might actually support #Logos, not #AntiLogos, and who wants that? I want the guys I already don’t like to be guilty, because it’s much easier that way.
Wow, PCR goes full Social Democratic anti-capitalist. Times they are a-changin’ Basically everything he says is false, carefully oversimplified to make his case. It’s often said the U.S. just arrived and plundered the environment with fish jumping in your boat and gold lying on the ground, but this is false. It may SEEM that way now, but the U.S. INVENTED all the mechanisms by which to turn a heartless desert and wilderness INTO a place where iron and coal were easy and cheap. Europe, while having been mined, quite the contrary had the advantage of the U.S. for several hundred years because they had infrastructure: roads, canals, skills, cities, ports, banking, the U.S. had to install all that. When the Spanish first met Iowa, they called it “The Great Inland Desert”, as the grass was so tall and the sod so thick, they reported nothing could ever grow there. It would be wasteland all the way through to the Napa Valley. That’s why they sold it off for nothing. Florida: useless, sandy, unfarmable, malaria-ridden swamps. Sierra-Nevadas: from alkali, unfarmable rock to 10,000 foot, impassable mountains, useless, an obstacle, as barren as the moon. Worthless. So the iron ore in Minnesota, as cold as Siberia and as remote, who cares if it’s there? It’s impossible to move to Cleveland, to say nothing of smelted and shipped out the St. Lawrence, trapped by impassable rapids. …And on and on and on. Why was it valuable? Because we INVENTED aluminum, essentially, we INVENTED suspension bridges large enough for the landscape, we INVENTED canals and waterworks that could contain the massive Mississippi, invented city-size smelters, deep coal mining, deep windmill wells, invented steam shipping, invented thousands of things that made the waterworks of the West into the California valley where a powder desert once baked with lizards. Apparently he prefers to live in caves and tipis, chasing stringy rabbits where Los Angeles used to be.
And so “Capitalism” attacked in WWI? So Napoleon, Charlemagne, Rome, never attacked anyone, nor Tecumseh, the Zulus or Chinese? Stalin never took Eastern Europe. Only “Capitalism”. Gotcha. And so on, lie after lie after lie. Toss the whole thing, would take all day to unwrap it error by error.
“neoclassical economics has so deeply entrenched the notion that markets are better than all other ways of organising life”
They have a problem in that it is the NATURAL way for humans to organize THEIR lives, thus private property exists in prison and black markets worldwide, forever. But they say, “No it won’t! I’ll tell them not to!!! And they will obey me as their Lord and Master!” No, they will ignore you and run you over, as they have the thousand petty dictators and officials before you. The difference is, when you run contrary to natural laws, like gravity, you can kill a few million people first. Don’t.
As I’ve said many times, the issue isn’t “Capitalism”, that only means I’m allowed to make and trade stuff – which every human society does and always has. How you arrange your family, politics, your religion, your values system, is not “Capitalism”, that’s a you-ism. Capitalism says slavery is fine and legal. Your SOCIETY says it isn’t. Capitalism of the Lene Lenape says imprisoning/domesticating animals is fine. Their SOCIETY said it wasn’t. And right now our society says enslaving Apple and Nike employees and fishing the last Tuna is good, and later they will say they/we were barbarians. That’s not capitalism enslaving and poisoning those people for profit: that’s YOU. Take responsibility for it and don’t divert the personal blame you so richly deserve, Mr Richy-Rich Schmarty-pantz.
“The idea of perfect markets under perfect competition, for example, asks us to believe in a world where everybody knows everything, there are an infinite number of companies, no barriers to setting up a business, where any product can stand in for any other (say, a banana for a tractor) and, crucially, there are no “externalities””
No one believes this. Only dummies like you believe this when you’re making straw-man arguments. Pretty sure if you took the 60 seconds to cover “VonMises: Wikipedia” you’d refute this, but you’re not deep enough a scholar to click “Google.”
“why students have rebelled,”
No, the schools were given million-dollar grant/bribes by oligarchs to destroy the old economics that mostly worked, and replace it with socialist/neoliberal (but I repeat myself) that will advantage oligarchs and interventionists who rob the poor and middle class. …But I repeat myself. They’re not robbing the oligarchs, and there are only two other classes to steal from, one of which doesn’t have any money. But hey: lie all you want. About everything! Then lie more. Apparently everyone will believe you for 100 years despite open, transparent, provable lies anyone can check.
“the special counsel’s office spent $25 million”While annoying this is probably about 10 minutes of Federal Spending. Besides, we’re not going to pay it.
“meat consumption will have to be cut to reduce methane”
Again with non-science lies. The CO2 methane of cows comes from where? The grass that locked up that CO2 last month. CO2 net Zero. But that would get us taxes and ambitious plans to enrich my friends and cause well-meaning fools to pursue a new Holodomir. How about we change it because it’s really inefficient and makes everyone unhappy? But that premise wouldn’t get mega-welfare for my oligarchs who are funding the research, just like the Economics schools above.
I don’t know where we’re going, but we’re certainly going there. No one’s steering the ship on these and a lot of other issues.
But human nature doesn’t need anyone in charge. Like a beehive, a lot of times self-organization, that organic, ground-up development works better. It’s messy and slow, but seeing the utter lack of imagination (and cooperation, hurtful stonewalling in these two news points) maybe it’s better to let history – or rather humanity, each party’s voters – push them along naturally until they can finally see where the parade is going and get in front of it and pretend to be “in charge” of the crowd that was going there anyway. …That’s politics.
These guys have been standing in front of the two parades, arms outstretched, saying “Stop! Stop!”, as if to a herd of Yellowstone Bison, and with similar results. They call us “cattle”, “stupid sheep” and so on, but you can only lead cattle in a way they want to go. You’re not free, and you’re not in charge, and you can’t lead them far too far, or in the opposite way that they wish. But hubris does not allow that. In Greek myth, Hubris is challenging the gods, the way, the natural order, the Tao perhaps. It is #AntiLogos.
Well, that’s a Liberal view, but here we are, with all the tin-pot dictators in charge, Merkel, The Guardian, Westminster, the secret DNC heads, and they ARE telling everyone what to do every minute, that the people’s every thought and act is bad and aren’t-you-ashamed-now-you-naughty-thing, and the people ARE ignoring them, and the world is spinning, they get up, food is delivered just as badly as yesterday, and out in the Sound, ships are sailing as they’ve sailed 300 years. If you institutionalized the lot of them, and I don’t mean the Institution of Parliament, we’d still get up and make breakfast for each other, sell bagels, sail ships, and hardly notice their passing, because they’re in charge of nothing and in general we don’t need them. For good or bad, Britain is going to just keep using the 100,000 existing laws out of sheer habit until somebody tells them otherwise, that’s human nature.
Ireland may be reunified over Brexit, and it’s hard to tell if that’s a good or a bad thing, but probably good in the 1,000 year view. And in 1,000 years will the drang and sturm look all that big? Not really, it will look like some ill-advised tin-pot, just like the tin-pots today, pushed colonists into Ireland, and later on over the years, some were re-located and some were absorbed until the natural order and boundaries were restored. The DNC will shatter, lose, split, perhaps change name, and reappear later under some other name and platforms, for they are the same people with the same priorities. History will mark them, but we won’t. And at 70, Donald will grow old and retire, leaving some different person in his place who will execute the public impulse he rode in on, but didn’t need him and would have anointed another, or two, or three, in his absence. So with Britain, it’s taking a few turns, but the national intent is established, the EU arc is pre-scribed, mapped, and set by time, and they will go their way. You see this in the time + trend people such as Martin Armstrong, or Strauss-Howe but the pivotal point is, they don’t need any leaders. History works despite them and their foibles. So, while entertaining, I wouldn’t worry all that much about it: ignore them and all their petty orders; they just don’t matter. …And saying so will drive them wonderfully mad.
“A majority of Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives now favor launching impeachment”
That’s odd, since they just voted last week and Impeachment was routed 3:1 against. Probably the same sort of reporting as the Leningrad Lindsey, i.e., completely made up, opposite, and false.
How about: just like the GOP and Obamacare repeal before them, now that they’re all quite sure they will never have to stand up for it, they all can be quietly for impeachment optics back home, while never facing the real consequences, like a business and currency crash, or, say, evidence. Personally, I think Trump dreams of being impeached and wishes it most devoutly. He would them turn off the NYSE-rigging machines, drop the currency, reset the economy, roll up the Fed back into the Treasury, and blame the Democrats for all the inevitable problems 100 years of mismanagement have left him.
“Democrats opposing impeachment say the best way to remove Trump is by defeating him in 2020,”
Pelosi is exactly right in this, first because of the time, second because of the risk. If the American people don’t want him removed, — and despite the press, very few care — then would your impeaching him – even for a real crime, one you can’t yet name – help your cause/party? No, you’d be the party that removed him to SPITE the American voters. So get a platform and vote him out! If he’s so awful, should be easy.
“Mueller described in detail the extensive contact Trump’s team had with Russia”
I must have missed this part. I saw his contact with Mifsud, a CIA/FBI agent, with a couple sting operations, and with agents of DNC-hired GPS fusion. The one thing I did NOT see in the report was contact with Russia. So much so, when he was unexpectedly elected, the Russians didn’t know how to contact him. Well, at least Taibbi knows how to read.
“Unless you’re a hedge fund manager or a holiday lettings firm in Cornwall, a weak pound is a disaster.”That’s the opposite of what I’ve always been told, that’s why there’s a determined +2% inflation rate that will erase half my savings in 50 years. And somehow it’s bad for BOTH importers AND exporters? Okay, well, gold standard for you, I guess, only then will the Pound not go up OR down, and be properly strong.
Look, make you case, tell lies, I don’t care, just please have your lies make sense, will you?
“ Pentagon Testing Mass Surveillance Balloons Across The US (G.)”
What was that about Posse comitatus at the border, against non-citizens, virtually the ONLY legal use of the military? (no one has seen self-“Defense” of the nation in so long they’ve entirely forgotten what a military does. The think it’s the OPPOSITE.) And yet when it is used against the citizens, in violation of BOTH posse, AND the 4A, silence. This after 100 continuous years of doing the same thing, just a little further each day? Well how surprised. Never saw that coming. And from Trump & co? No comment. Probably applause.
Ah, Huxley v Orwell, and we got the best of both worlds.
In Flander’s fields the poppies grow…
Judge said DNC “claims entirely divorced from the facts”.
That can’t be right. Nadler said they have proof on Trump corruption Six ways to Sunday. It’s just super-duper secret and they can’t tell us a single word of it.
“Trump Wants to Rein in Intelligence Agencies (R.)”
Like yesterday’s pic of Johnny boy, this is the epic battle. Someone is going to be taken out in a box, and somebody is going to be scattered to the winds. Either the people run the U.S., or the oligarchs and power-families do. Some progress has been made, but it won’t be enough when the people themselves are complicit.
“Trump’s Tax Returns Required Under New California Election Law (LAT)”
Not just overreach, imagine what happens when they use their precedent to find out how Pelosi became a billionaire on her 6-figure salary, and how Maxine Waters can afford multi-million dollar homes, and who Cuomo or Schumer know in NYC when they take 6-figure donations from Weinstein as a hunting license to rape any woman in the state. But: rules for thee and not for me! Pretty sure this is illegal by Supreme Court as the law outlines only two parameters for Presidency: age and “natural” citizenship.
“The Constitution is clear on the qualifications for someone to serve as president and states cannot add additional requirements on their own,” … The bill also violates the 1st Amendment right of association, since California can’t tell political parties which candidates their members can or cannot vote for.”
Actual journalism. Shocked. And the LATimes too. P.S. there’s essentially zero chance his taxes haven’t been accessed any of the 74,000 IRS employees – not to mention Cuomo calling down to the State Tax Office for a sneak peak. That means there’s nothing there.
“China Gathers Forces on Hong Kong Border Amid Unrest (ZH)”
They have issues, but I’d be shocked if the Anglos weren’t involved in this. It’d be the first time in 100 years. In full disclosure, this is exactly the kind of meddling China does to us by buying Clinton’s WTO access, Hunter Biden’s $1B loan, and Nancy Pelosi’s husband. That’s how the game goes, if you suffer fools and traitors and let them.
“German Prosecutors Charge Ex-VW Boss with Fraud (AFP)”
Synopsis: U.S. steals $33B from Germany in a pique over VW not cutting off Russian factory expansion. They do this over a fraud every car manufacturer does, including GM and Toyota, and HAS to do, since the emission requirements are unrelated to the physics of creating a viable car. You can of course just eliminate all the cars in your area like AOC suggests and watch the economy collapse and a million people starve. In fact that IS what they are doing, in U.K. and elsewhere, but very, very slowly. Enforcing these impossible regulations will just speed up the murder and destruction. To be positive, there are other solutions, and easy ones: Europe didn’t need this many cars in 1930 or 1950, and they can go back to that infrastructure model if they wish. They’re not. Neither will electric cars work with present technology, apart from leveling all Afghanistan in a quest for adequate lithium.
“Jeremy Corbyn’s Finest Hour? (Varoufakis)”
What the heck is a “Trump-deal Brexit?” A garden-variety smear, and disingenuine lie? Trump had nothing to do with Brexit, and has not commented except that we would cut a rapid trade deal when they could make one. We should, and if they go there, they’ll need one, because EU is going to play the spurned psychotic ex-wife and irrationally attack them however she can. Corbyn’s plan was the same as May’s: crush democracy and double-cross the referendum by leaving in name only, therefore turning Britain into an unvoting vassal state of an extractive and murderous EU. (Footnote Greece: Varoufakis may have heard of it. Is he just jealous that the U.K. got out and Greece didn’t?)
“Mess with Good Friday and We’ll Block UK Trade Deal, US Politicians Warn (G.)”
He doesn’t have to get it through Congress, treaties only have to pass the Senate, which is Republican. Do you think the GOP senate, to say nothing of the U.S., is going to sit around and laugh while Britain starves on behalf of the EU and tiny Ireland? Uh, no. The House can go pound sand. Nobody cares what they think. And just yesterday I suggested a bake sale to buy “The Guardian” a book on parliamentary law and process. Probably wouldn’t help though, unless it was a picture-book with tiny, tiny words.
“Dominic Cummings: Tories Do Not Care about Poor People or NHS (G.)”
As per yesterday, where they were changing labor law. Here’s the thing though: they DO care, they just have different style, different solution. The Labour method is to take money (which effectively comes from the people) to pay the people off in subsidies. In practice, that’s corrupt, wasteful, and fails miserably everywhere it’s tried, but it IS a plan. Conservatives, however, want to make the ECONOMY better, whereby people don’t need the government because they all have ordinary, organic jobs and can help themselves. Getting a man a job in a stronger nation IS caring about people – ESPECIALLY poor people, and communities, since the people and COMMUNITY can decide how to spend it, what they wish to do without government ordering them. In practice, this is corrupt, wasteful, and fails miserably as the rise in overall economic prosperity gives an edge to the 1%, but it IS a plan that DOES help the poor as well. Right now, Britain doesn’t have an economy AND they can’t give social support to the poor, because like all socialist nations, they’ve ruined the economy and are broke. That’s why the worst-plan-except-all-others, Capitalism, works better. But don’t say the Tories don’t care. That’s successful PR by Labour, and props to them for succeeding with it, but they have ALSO helped destroy Britain for a century. For example: what’s Corbyn done for anyone lately? What did Blair? A lot of blather about caring and feeling, getting into wars, while their cities and nation slowly collapsed, the people poorer than ever, just like the Democrats here.
Just talk? Loose accusations by me?
“for the first time in 100 years, Britons are dying earlier. The UK now has the worst health trends in Western Europe.”
Just like DNC cities here, and now all Red areas in the opioid push. Pretty sure there were Labour governments equal on while all this was happening. Left foot, Right foot, marching ever on.
“The Roman Republic fell, not because of the ambition of Caesar or Augustus, but because it had already long ceased to be in any real sense a republic at all. When the sturdy Roman plebeian, who lived by his own labor, who voted without reward according to his own convictions, and who with his fellows formed in war the terrible Roman legion, had been changed into an idle creature who craved nothing in life save the gratification of a thirst for vapid excitement, who was fed by the state, and directly or indirectly sold his vote to the highest bidder, then the end of the republic was at hand, and nothing could save it. The laws were the same as they had been, but the people behind the laws had changed, and so the laws counted for nothing.” -Teddy Roosevelt”
“It would mean the complete breakdown of political relations”
Oh, stuff and nonsense. Nations are essentially immortal. What’s the EU going to do? Sulk forever? They won’t even be around as they presently exist in 10 years, maybe 3. They are THE major British trading partner, both directions. So VW is going to stop selling cars to their major market and Siemens is going to stop selling Euro-standard electric grid, collapsing the EU in spite? NO. WAY. These guys had a world war that ended in nukes and the invasion of the entire eastern bloc and were still talking to each other just a year or two later. The British royalty had THEIR OWN COUSINS EXECUTED, like what, three times, including exterminating every Romanov who had any remaining claims to Russian gold held in London and they’re still talking. Oh but if one trade deal gets rough, they’re going to erect a 1,000 foot wall in the English (now ‘Le Pond’ aka the non-English) Channel? Baloney. Does anyone read history and engage? Get a grip.
“Boris Johnson’s new Brexit chief wants to scrap Theresa May’s commitment to protect British workers’ rights, and has suggested Brexit is an opportunity to escape the EU’s “heavy labour market regulation”,
If I’m not mistaken, that is his political right, for which he will have to get Parliamentary support. Absolutely normal stuff, happens every time there is a leadership change. The real Trojan Horse is to create 100,000 regulations a year, mostly non-British, because you can’t undo them fast enough, or at all. We still have laws about horses in the streets and subsidies for the use of oak barrels. The government makes – intentionally – winners and losers to the highest bidder. That’s the whole point, or rather side-effect of government: they win, we lose. Now everyone who paid their Minister to (illegally) win is going to fight tooth and nail to hold their (illegal, socialist) advantage. Thus there are always MORE laws and never less, and like Tainter’s ever-increasing investment in complex bankrupting infrastructure, government has to collapse before the tired, old, useless, obstructing laws get swept away. Why? Because you won’t let Johnson do it the easy way. Instead Britain loses their world empire one idiotic rule at a time and is still getting ever-smaller and poorer to this very day. Congratulations, you’ve struck gold. More government, more regulation, more helping until we all die of help.
“Now, there is just suspicion that we’ve reached the limits of borrowing”
We have, but foreign government have been rejecting our bond auctions for years, and they’re just printing $21 Trillion in the back door “Exchange Stabilization Fund” and buying it. Totally legal, totally legal to hide it under FASAB elimination. That’s why it requires the currency to be rejected, and therefore the SWIFT system to be evaded and destroyed, all of which happens more each day. Doesn’t matter though. We were never going to pay it. Ever. Not since 1978. We were always going to default and we’re going to default now. So “Print all you want! We’ll spend more.” Remember “Welcome to the New World Currency: 2018” Economist, 1989? They had the exit completely planned by then, exactly on date, 40 years, and we’ve just borrowed time the last year, as well-known. The world is converting, just like they have to, just like they should, just like they planned, and if they’re too slow, just like we’ll MAKE them with embargoes and offronts.
Yes, limits of borrowing. What limits? In time, maybe, but not in price. It could reach $40 or $100 Trillion and probably will, because we’re not leaving this ship until there’s a new one to go to.
“Fake Cash, Fake Accounting: China Regulators Halt 46 IPOs, Bond Offerings (WS)”
For a change, the opposite of us. When Arthur Andersen accounted Enron CORRECTLY, Boy Scout Mr. Mueller shut them down and bankrupted them for daring. Later, when S&P attempted the same thing with USTreasury ratings, they were warned and backed off immediately. We don’t do truth here; you could end up locked in an embassy or something.
“Capital One: Information of Over 100 Million People in US, Canada Hacked (R.)”
But I’ve got an answer! MORE governments, MORE computers! And definitely, DEFINITELY more monopolies that pay 5% fines on their crimes like Facebook did.
“India was among the countries whose style of living would use up less than a whole Earth each year if practiced globally, which also has to do with [massive, widespread] poverty”
I’m sure everyone will go for that! Especially the Greenies. They can, and few even have, attempting living small, and they bailed out of the commune back-to-the-land life and go back to the city in just a year or two, 1,000x faster than the rural folks who grew up with it. But it’s okay, they’re going to stay in San Francisco and command all the poverty they don’t like for themselves onto those non-humans in Flyoverland! Because that’s love and caring! About the planet, and animals ‘natch, not the humans who are beneath animals and must be killed for the love and goodness of all.
Non-cynical point: Waste = GDP. Non-waste = Non-GDP, and worldwide economic and social collapse, which will immediately include starvation and war. And you ain’t seen nothin’ for environmental destruction until you try (force) that.
This the environment you’re looking for? This is the earth winning and humans losing! Please discuss how you will transition while keeping GDP/Debt in mind.
“The scariest thing about climate change is what it will make us do to each other.”
We know absolutely nothing about what happened to the Mound Builders, or to some extent, the Mayan/Incans. Essentially, they walked away from civilization and back into the mountains, much as the Romans did, and are still there today. Would that be bad? Why? Because you’re a bunch of journalists and scholars who prefer and defend the injustices and environmental devastation of cities? Why don’t YOU leave then? An off-grid cotter in Wales is just over the hill. St. Kilda is still there. When the height of the Mound builders and Aztecs were bloodthirsty mass-child-murderers, much as we are today, why would you mourn their complete destruction back to the sense and order of the Shawnee?
“The archaeological record shows traces of the desperation and bloodshed: skeletons with bound hands, pits full of strangled young women…. It must have been a very exciting place to live.”
Indeed.
“desperation and bloodshed that almost always accompany great upheavals”
Except the Aztecs and several meso-Americans did this all day long without any upheaval. Europe did this just 70 years ago without any climate change, actually for no plausible reason at all. The Zeta cartel is doing this today just for business profits. Care to modify your premises?
“This shift was likely associated with shifting temperature patterns in the ocean that affected the jet stream, pulling cool air down from the Arctic and displacing rainfall patterns.”
The guys who can’t make an accurate climate model given 30 years and 1,000 supercomputers claim to know how the jet stream moved in 1400. They don’t know what the jet stream will do next week. You know what really destroyed the Ohio? Hubris. And unfounded belief in their own era’s priests of science. Why not? Isn’t that what kills all cultures?
P.S., if they hadn’t noticed, the Ohio is a R I V E R, one of the largest in the United States, and is a place that rains all the time on the finest farmland on earth. Dry in Ohio would be comfortably wet anywhere else. Other places worldwide indeed chose to irrigate, which was another option, so I’m going to be skeptical of this essentially unfounded claim for which we have virtually no evidence, just like everything else about the Mound Builders. How about this: The Mound priests of Mound science and the Mound News Network were completely discredited and Jeffrey Mound was found to have been killing thousands of women and children with their hands bound all protected and participated in by the Mound Ruling Class. The people tied them to trees and walked away, lighting a match and let the civilization collapse behind them as all it deserved, going back to living in huts and finally becoming “civilized”: civil, orderly, non-murdering men. Just men without high-rises and digital watches. Why not? About as much evidence for my story as for theirs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mound_Builders
“The various cultures collectively termed “Mound Builders” were inhabitants of North America who, during a 5,000-year period…” AYFKM. 5,000 years and 2,000 miles apart and we call them the same people? Yes, those city-building Babylonian peoples from Copenhagen… In addition, the plausible culture and habits of mound building still existed in 1600 when the Spanish visited. They were still there, still doing the same thing. So when did they collapse, exactly? They’re still here today.
“This surge is arguably the only reason oil prices today aren’t above $100/barrel”
“U.S. offshore oil production has also made a big jump. Over the past decade, Gulf Coast oil production in the U.S. rose from about 1.2 million BPD to about 2.0 million BPD.”While point taken, the U.S. is not drilling either the East or the West coast, and we know the West coast is so covered in oil it bubbles up out of the sand. They are not going to do this until the rest of the world’s oil is gone (Saudi Arabia) or locked in and unobtainable (Libya, Iraq, Syria) to insure prices stay high. That brings the W. argument that it would have been cheaper to buy every barrel of oil from Saddam rather than invade. True. However, the point was not to sell the oil, the point was to DENY the oil to our enemies, just as we are trying now with Iran (and Russia). So keep in mind, the U.S. HAS oil. A LOT of it. We haven’t even tried. And shale oil tells you what we can do if we try. But were we to pump it, prices would crash, so we need to ruin everybody else oil (life) first.
“the most striking characteristic of China’s presence on the Global 500 remains the overwhelming—and growing—dominance of state-owned firms”
Wow, just like us. Must be where they learned it from. Google, Facebook: created/funded by DARPA. Amazon: funded by the CIA and protected from most U.S. laws, like sales tax collection. Sachs, Morgan: given incremental monopoly and completely protected from all legal and financial fallout. GM, United Health: same. GE, Lockheed: trillion in guaranteed no-bid war profits. Exxon: need I say more? Hey kids! What do we call a system where the government pays, protects, directs, and controls the corporations in a merger of corporation and state interests? And once they align and join together, are the people A) the friend and beneficiary of this merger or B) the chattel and tax donkey of this oligopoly tag team of extractive power and profit?
“When Hunter Sego realized the insulin he needed to manage his Type 1 diabetes cost more than $1,400, he called his mother in a panic…. “How does it happen 10 minutes away from the American border in Michigan, people here are paying one-10th of the price for the vitally important drug they need to stay alive?” Sanders asked, calling the disparity a “national embarrassment”.
Nope, that’s Socialism, Bernie, just like the Soviets with no shoes while party members shop in Zurich. Hey, what happens when government creates and protects billionaire monopoly insiders instead of competition and bankruptcy again?
“The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has warned the government that neither the UK nor the EU is ready for a no-deal Brexit on 31 October.”
Wow, whose fault is that? The EU for refusing to negotiate? Or Britain for not attempting to negotiate and sabotaging their own democracy and people in a fit of infantile pique? Reality happens while you’re making other plans. England has gotten through far FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR worse, and will get through this too, just like BoJo says. “Life is hard, but it’s harder if you’re stupid,” and these guys are making it as hard as possible using that method.
“Johnson Told No-Deal Brexit Will Crush Domestic Policy Plans (G.)”
That’s because the other parties have already promised to stonewall everything and keep any legislative help at all from reaching the people. Just like here. France is a little different, because they’re not even making an attempt that COULD be stonewalled. But blame Johnson for what you’re doing. That’s politics.
“More Than 4 Million In UK Are Trapped In Deep Poverty (G.)”
Getting out of the EU will liberate money, time, and policy, to care about such things again. Certainly being the EU is no help. Even the poor in Britain are nowhere near the levels of poverty, extraction, and destruction of Greece, which is nowhere near the EU’s Eastern Europe. When you realized you’ve joined the 4th Reich, the German conquest of Europe that intends to exterminate all resisters, the only moral thing you can do is leave.

“Papadopoulos to Head to Greece to Retrieve $10,000 Payment (Fox)”
The marked bills are on record at the FBI. So who took them out of the office to entrap Big Papa? But this is on the heels of Papadopoulos saying “it was so obvious they were recording and entrapping me that Downer was holding his phone upright and pointing it at me while recording.” Yet when his lawyer asked for that (exculpatory) evidence, they said they didn’t have any. …Except that these recordings were the same evidence they used to convict him. So they don’t have the evidence they have. Gotcha.
Oh wait: just like Butina yesterday, where Byrne immediately reported it all to the FBI (and CFR) and they didn’t warn anyone she talked to, hoping to get the NRA and every GOP candidate in compromising positions. Then when it comes out, the FBI somehow lost all Byrne’s testimony and records that would help her case. Land of the Free, amirite? Mueller/Comey Boy Scouts.

“How can someone who oversaw a campaign that is the subject of a serious criminal investigation pass that test?”
…Just like every single politician who was on the side of Leave. So we’re going to stop, de-power and stymie half the government and a majority of the public? Sounds like obstruction. The people will know, and it’s not a winning line. So what did you do? Nothing! We only made sure THEY didn’t get anything done for the British people either! Aren’t you glad? …Not exactly. We’re still in twilight exit of universal EU slavery, still no money freed up for NHS, no trade agreements, business still on hold yet leaving, and you’re going to make sure it stays this way forever if they can while time moves ever on, so no, not really all that pleased with you. I think I’ll vote for them again, only harder.
“Ex-Chancellor Hammond Plots With Labour To Kill Johnson’s No-Deal Brexit (G.)”
Point. And they will do anything –ANYTHING– to prevent the people’s will from happening, ANYTHING to prevent that horrible, horrible “Democracy” aka Populism. We must MUST destroy the people and their will by obstructing everything, ever. Take it from us. But you might also take it from us, “How’s that working out for those Yanks in the DNC? Winning/Not Winning?”
“Tanker Seizures and Resurgent Imperialism (Craig Murray)”
Britain does it, then sells the British Navy to the world to escort the dangerous seas where there’s PIRATES about. Pirates? Oh heavens! However did this begin??? Sells this service to Europe as leverage with the EU. So lying, cheating, and stealing things is working great for them. Steal all the things! So considering, should the U.N. put on a universal Russian embargo on them, maybe a food embargo like Venezuela or oil embargo like Syria, or should the U.S. nuke them and salt Southampton with depleted Uranium to promote world peace? I mean, that’s what we do, right? That is the good and proper way? Britain has approved of it so far, so why not sauce for a gander?
Stop stealing.
