Since i am blacklisted at naked capitalism due to disagreeing with their take on the pandemic, would someone be so kind as to point out to this poster that Yves consults for the soros open foundatin?

>US granted $270M to Soros-backed institute over 15 years: Data“The US has granted over $270 million to the East-West Management Institute, an organization partnered with George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, in the last 15 years, according to data from USASpending.gov.
Israeli Tel Aviv University received $615 million in grants from the US in 2023, according to its Form 990 filing, a document required for tax-exempt organizations.
While it is unclear how much of this funding came from USAID or US taxpayers, reports indicate that $462 million was spent on salaries and employee benefits.
I don’t think I quite have my head around this USAid story. Recently there were many Twitter/X stories of celebrities getting pay-offs which, which Yves pointed out were not substantiated. I would hope that some Congressional Investigation results from Trump’s poking this hornet’s nest, something on the order of the Church Committee of the 70’s, although I’m not holding my breath. Hopefully, NC will update this story as more info becomes available.”
Also please point out that the church committee did jack and shit and jack just left down
Here is a link to her investment/consulting firm as evidence:“Sure you can blame Trump, or Biden… but I’m looking at the 100 plus million American citizens who went full mass hypnosis psychosis, none of it could have happened without their ignorance, greed, or anger… the 3 poisons.”
Here here, well said!
The reason socialism/communism doesn’t work at a level larger then the family unit is because beyond that it is based in the abstract. It explains the crazy we see these days, too many people living in the abstract, i don’t think the internet is helping much.
“people are really nice.”
This isn’t true.
“america is wonderful. it’s the world’s best soup. i treat no one as a “foreigner” because we all are just animals. as in, plants and animals.”
This is why your prior statement isn’t true.
“think of how much nicer your life would be if humans calmed the f@#$ down.”
This is true, but somebody is stirring the pot. People are people, they need to belong to a tribe, otherwise they feel like they’re walking around naked and vulnerable. We are same now as we were back when Rome ruled the known world, and we will be the same 2000 years from now if we’re still alive on this planet.
@those darned kids
I don’t comment much anymore, but i do read the comments. You’ve been ultra animated lately, something wrong?
The Harvard guy interviewed is the embodyment of everything wrong with the world and the United States. Over educated, never worked a day in his life except “studies” and still can’t manage to not use the word “like” in a sentence. That is what Harvard is held in such high prestige for? And why does someone with a made up degree like public health policy do a stint at the world bank? Essentially what i’m saying, is too many people have gone thru life without life actually punching them in the face and he’s a perfect example of that. Probably has family connections. Also funny, before the DEI stuff came out of the blue in the late 2010’s and really went nuts in 2020, corporate america was not a meritocracy. The whole thing strikes me as two corrupt systems fighting for power over who’s nepotyees will get the job.
How is the Ukraine/Russia war any different? They’ve stated they want the Russians bleed and bogged down. But no they would have never done anything like that back in the 40’s. I’m sure
Yeah, and he couldn’t have been a stooge for English and American elites? Look how the west operates today, look how NATO operates. Is it so implausible they wanted Germany to destroy itself fighting Russia and vice versa? The casualty numbers seem to suggest so. Stalin also thought so, and i only learned that while reading a biography on him in college. Never once was that mentioned in American History books.
“Feel free to be free any time you choose, but that would also make you broke, now wouldn’t it? Little wonder why folks are so hesitant and reluctant to do so.”
They’re going to be broke anyways, so why not get it over with and let the young start to clear up the mess. This was always going to be the only option after the choices they made in 2008. Money is their entire control operation, if they would have let corporate america go broke as they should have in 08, after spending decades consolidating all business with cheap credit, we’d have new rulers and wouldn’t even be able to remember donald trump, but here we are eh? Those of us who were young in 08 have been screwed, so the old could pretend they didn’t fuck everything up
How do we know everything we’ve been told about things that occurred during WW2 aren’t just another version of covid or 9/11?
and its a shame the biggest covid believer didn’t shed her mortal coil during covid but did manage to move out of NYC after decades to alabama of all places, almost like she knew: Susan Webber aka Yves smith.
2020 was a financial crisis papered over with the flu
Dr. Tim Morgan is a priest selling indulgences for global warming and coxing you into enjoying your declining standard of living
Trump isn’t going to fix shit
half of this country could not survive without corporations or government
discussing this shit is becoming redundant after god damn 16 years and still nobody has a plan of action and waits for word from aboveSorry i’m under the weather and annoyed with all this shit.
You guys realize cutting 2 trillion from the FED budget only takes you back to 2019. Such an accomplishment! Yeah Dr. D, its been 1,000 years since we didn’t have electronic everything, people will never accept cash………. They’ll take bottle caps if you’re important enough and tell them its money.
And also the fact that these people are not talented. They honestly think that if you just put people in stuff from all walks of life, they’ll automatically come see your thing. And lazy, coming up with new things is hard, easier to buy IP and then repackage someone elses story.
@Dr. D
Its trying to create cash flow in failing monopolies, nothing more nothing less, and you generate hype by making it so “controversial”. Same as software companies wanting you to pay subscriptions for what you to be a one time purchase. Also who watches and reads comic books and movies mostly? Children, gotta indoctrinate em young.
Wonderful readers,
Lets play a game, can anyone here tell me the difference between these two links and why they might be different?

Why does she believe that taking power from one partner in crime, and giving all of it to the other partner in crime, will fix anything? She’s a light statist in my opinion and are largest problem as a society is accepting responsibility for stupid decisions. I’d rather have two crooks fighting over control of the system then just one running everything. Look how quickly it turned America to trash after the soviet union fell and we had no competition……….
@ Dr. Day
Read that Ellen Brown article because she’s been talking about this forever, and it was rather kind of pathetic. To me, it read like a drunk who has wrecked the car, killed a few people, and is desperately trying to think of ideas to escape responsibility.
This is rich, must be hard to be objective when you’re a george soros mouthpiece:

December 10, 2024 at 12:48 pmLaws are supposed to be related to social morality are they not? At any rate, there are many instruments of control in the financial community that are networked. Banks, international organization (IMF, WB etc.) who have strong financial desks, major banks the Fed and equivalents around the world do meet often and network to avoid crisis. I’ve seen, since 2008, dire predictions of major financial crises that never happened and were nipped in the bud by, in my view, cooperation among many international players when it was in their interest to do so. Anyway, it would be logical for finance oligarchs to cooperate in this increasingly networked world. I think unofficial (and outside the law) networks and are ultimately going to be the PTB eventually.

December 10, 2024 at 1:05 pmRichard Murphy is speaking of a crisis in the UK. I am extending the notion to the US.
The IMF and World Bank have absolutely nothing to do with bank rescues in either country.
I do not recall any “dire predictions of financial crises” post 2008 that yours truly took seriously. I debunked quite a few. I did point out systemic risk in central counterparties, that they were presented as a risk reducer but when a crisis hit, they would be a risk concentrator and contra official claims, would be bailed out. We did cover a bit the repeated Eurobank wobbles and various last minute kick the cans. We do admit to getting a bit excited when Unicredit got sick but never predicted a crisis beyond Italy for that (admittedly that would be very nasty in terms of the Eurozone). We pointed out repeatedly how weak DeutscheBank was but clearly said it would be allowed to fail. We debunked the repo panic [of 2019?].
The Fed does not network, FFS, save as it always has via getting some (no where near enough) regional real economy intel via its member banks. Jackson Hole is a meeting for economists to present papers. The Fed can get other central banks’ attention when it needs to. It does not need to “network”. Honestly I have no idea where you get these ideas.
I do not know what you are talking about re finance oligarchs. The systemic actors are top bank execs who may be very powerful and well paid but are NOT oligarchs. The oligarchs are private equity, and they are leveraged owners of businesses, not financial intermediaries.
“I typically believe that most of the people who post here have good access to clear, cogent thought: kindly utilize this skill.”
Well that was a bit of a backhanded insult! You do you i guess.
“That doesn’t mean that they are not out there, and it isn’t a large enough sample to calculate a percentage, but the number cannot be great.”
Faith huh?
@ Mister Roboto
Haven’t been following it so sadly can not fill you in.
“I know that there will be a small number of women who will use abortion as birth control.”
How do you know for a fact its a small number? I think what myself and others are arguing, isn’t that: Women bad! It is that society has removed any and all restraints from one gender while bemoaning and blaming the other non stop. Poor choices are rewarded or negated by taking from another person. How can you agree with that?
Tboc
Nice debt numbers, i wonder if we broke down the holders by gender who would have more debt? Met a lovely women last night, two friends introduced me. Divorced, two young girls, an optometrist (respectful line of work) and has about 400k in debt! Even being an optometrist, trying to raise two young girls, gonna be a nightmare trying to get out from under that. I have no debt, make it a point to be that way. Do i want to take on someone like that?
And honestly, most of us knew that was the game 20 years ago and didn’t mind. Until they became so obnoxious about it.
Give up Dr. Day, that dog don’t hunt. My entire life, women have never been treated as harshly as men, have had way more privilege then men. For anything. Heck i’ve seen them get men kicked out of bars just for saying hello to them, because they weren’t good looking enough.
I imagine you’re an old man, who let things get to this point, and now you like to complain about it. You have no marbles
Ha we’ve come full circle, but we all know they won’t be able to do, have no discipline and its everyone elses fault anyways!
the church made your son marry her? You didn’t notice she was off before they got married? Once again, nobody has agency, its everyone else’s fault!
“but there are plenty of other real rapes by respectable men”
How the fuck are you respectable if you rape someone? You’re an idiot
All i know is that both men and women can be equally shitty, and putting either group on a throne(which dems and government do) is stupid. Live by the golden rule and shouldn’t have many problem, eh?
“Telling women that they are bad for being raped is kind of sick.”
I didn’t imply anything along those lines. But you can usually judge a person by their actions before something like that happens. Its generally why parents try to keep their children from hanging out with some people while growing up. You’re still wrong Dr. Day.
“Take some responsibility for your action.”
This is really where the divide between democrats and republicans boils down to. Democrats don’t believe anyone has any agency unless its thru government. Women pick the men they sleep with, women decide to use birth control, women have agency. They don’t want it and they vote to give it to government in large numbers. I didn’t know a single person who died from covid and i don’t know a single person who has been raped. For all the people that scream and yell about it, perhaps you aren’t exactly hanging out with the best people?
