    DBS, i’m 72 and know citizens of the US my age who still believe the Gulf of Tonkin bs and have a deep sense of affection for Ronald Reagan. Anyone who has read Killing Hope and still seeks the status quo at my age has probably lived up to their potential.

    DBS, no that is not what we have all done. Some have had a taste of corruption from very early in their life. My definition of IQ is usefulness to empire. My IQ is 0. i heard at least once a week for ten years, “You’re not living up to your potential”. This statement was based on the old apptitude test. Work to make yourself the most profitable employee, give the knowledge you have gained to your fellows, and walk away when there is injustice. You get an adventure and the one who learned the most gets a raise. Make em pay for violating the social contract. Always punch above your weight. Don’t get mad, get Justice

    The best thing about The Smartest Man In The World?
    I personally know several.

    Stake yourself to your position and draw your sword. Stand tethered and firm atop your hill.
    The archers will arrive in due time.

    The best thing about being the dumbest person in the world?
    The quest for knowledge will never be fulfilled.

    for many faith is like their socks – black or white, worn out and full of holes
    a little dogma here a little dogma there, next thing you know you’re talking real fantasy

    What does it feel like to know you invested your entire life in the status quo? Will you do what the leaders of the free world do? Double Down? Is that not what The Smartest Man In The World suggests?

    15% known matter and energy, 85% dark matter and energy
    15% developed nations, 85% global south (choose the description that suits you personally)

    the 85% dark matter and energy drive the expansion of the verse
    soon the 85% global south will drive the human economic engine. A moment of discovery is on the horizon. In a manner similar to the verse the rate of expansion of the global south is increasing and will be seen to overcome the mass of the developed nations.

    the standard model theorists cannot accept their model is inadequate to explain the physical reality just as economists in the developed nations cannot accept their model is inadequate. The hidden overcomes what is seen. There are things which cannot be touched or measured that are real.
    No store of value, no profit. A black hole deals harshly with that deemed to be indispensable. Still, information can escape a black hole.

    Today, November 23, 2023, is celebrated as a day of thanksgiving in my home, my nation. As the preparation for the thanksgiving meal begins please let me share some of the things i am thankful for. I am thankful for singularity. I am thankful for the information that created space. I am thankful for clouds of charged potential. I am thankful for fusion. I am thankful for the the stars that forge the material world. I am thankful for the curiosity and intelligence in a precious child’s eyes.

    I am thankful that i am not limited to observation. I am thankful for the greatest of human blessings, the ability to measure. I am thankful for physics, logic and ethics.

    I am thankful for a peace that exceeds understanding. I am thankful for those things i cannot yet understand.

    I am thankful for the one thing, above all others, that I cannot understand. Why is human consciousness not enough? Why is the ability to discern beauty and loving kindness not enough?

    I am thankful for hope and the knowledge that light overcomes darkness.

    I am thankful for all of my sisters and brothers and their children.

    I am thankful that I am blessed with the ability to speak and write. I am thankful i may say, I Love You.

    don’t know why all of the angst about the money. The invisible hand of the market will straighten it all out. Well that’s the story i have heard most of my life. The market is self correcting and can not be be deterred from unerring eficiency. Laissez-faire, the only good regulation is a dead regulation! Demand for labor increasing? Let the invisible hand sort it out. What? Never tried that approach? Hell no, got to protect that efficient use of capital. Raise interest rates increase the returns on capital and starve the labor market. All of those years with a skilsaw in hand the only part of the hand i saw was the thumb pushing my sisters and brothers down.

    @MOA
    “The Biden administration has been providing Israel with the location of humanitarian groups in Gaza for weeks to prevent strikes against their facilities. But Israel has continued to hit such sites.

    The information included GPS coordinates of a number of medical facilities and information on movements of aid groups in Gaza to the Israeli government for at least a month, according to three people familiar with the communications. All were granted anonymity because they feared speaking publicly would make it more difficult for aid groups to operate in Gaza.

    Still, Israel has launched operations against Hamas in or near aid sites, including hospitals, leading to the destruction of buildings and the blocking of fuel and other critical supplies.”

    time has finally driven a wedge between Mr. Jefferson and myself. Mr. Jefferson feared for our nation, that divine justice would not sleep forever. I no longer fear for our nation, I anticipate the meting out of divine justice. The capitalist sphincters will not buy themselves out of this one. My hope is to go with the martyrs.

    wonder why Dr. EJ Antoni did not note that interest on the debt will consume two times the amount of corporate tax revenue or an amount equal to sixty three percent of FUTA/FICA withholdings. Personal income tax is ± 50% of total US federal revenue. Spin the narrative doesn’t have the pleasant result found in the game spin the bottle although there is some kissing involved.

    Where, might i ask, has Mr. Rubino been since January 2020?
    and Greg Hunter – “Rubino talks about plunging home prices, more trouble coming in the commercial real estate market and why you need gold and silver as core assets during a currency reset”

    Never heard of asset seizure, never heard of frozen bank accounts, never heard of sanctions, never heard of BRICS+, never heard of a $945bn trade deficit, never heard finance, real estate, business services and government comprise 44% of the US economy, never heard manufacturing is 11% of the US economy, never heard agriculture, fishing and hunting take a 1.1% share of the US economy

    In the midst of a global financial meltdown gold and silver assets will be safe? Which of the two is more deluded, Zelensky or John Rubino? London and New York will not set the exchange rates and when the tide goes out The FED and Fort Knox will be seen wearing a G string and pasties.

    no greed to enliven my mind

    Holy Sonnet 10: Death, be not proud
    John Donne
    Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
    Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
    For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow
    Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
    From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
    Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
    And soonest our best men with thee do go,
    Rest of their bones, and soul’s delivery.
    Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
    And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
    And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
    And better than thy stroke; why swell’st thou then?
    One short sleep past, we wake eternally
    And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die

    there is a global staging, a reenactment, of the final scenes from the movie The Magic Christian underway here on the third rock from the sun. I remember leaving the theater in Tallahassee and riding back to campus and musing that most of the students i encountered each day would wade right in and get their Free Money. The nauseating reality is that this reenactment is not a fictional parody but the actual reality of a subspecies or conspecies of humanity in the 21st century.

    the following word salad is a musing on The Zeroeth Law of Thermodynamics, Thermal Equilibrium and the Permeable Connection. Of course the laws of phyics don’t apply to human beings. Language is wonderful!

    The thought that US tax dollars are being used to purchase anything needs some serious abuse. In 2022 total US tax revenue was $4.71 trillion and the 2023 budget deficit is $1.71 trillion. The budget deficit is equal to 36% of tax revenue. The 2022 outstanding value of US financial corporate and non-financial corporate debt securities can be presented as $24 trillion. The 2022 GDP of the US economy can be presented as $27 trillion. The Federal Reserve holds 25%± of the $33 trillion US debt and the balance is debt liability. The $24.75 trillion dollar debt, as an unfunded liability, represents 92% ± of the 2022 US GDP. As i am not a member of the Chicago school i can organise the above this way: $24 trillion in corporate debt plus $24.75 trillion in national debt, $48.75 trillion of debt, carries a GDP valued at $27 trillion. I will attempt to be discreet and only give passing mention to unfunded state and US federal pension liabilities. The recent announcement that interest on the US debt reached $1 trillion and is in the neighborhood of 20% of tax revenue did not cause Mrs. Yellen to lose any sleep. One wonders if she is awake. US federal and US corporate debt is the punch bowl not US tax dollars. The value of the back window at the FED is unknown. No audit please.

    now put this into context within the current geopolitical debacle. To make the numbers easier to handle let us use 8 billion as the global population. The global south contains about 80% of that population or 6.4 billion human beings. What would be the result of 6.4 billion humans withholding $0.01, a penny, from western goods and services each day for a single year? No boycot, no divestment and no sanctions just a little grassroots demand side economics. The amount that would be withheld is $23.01 trillion. Want to ring the margin call bell? One less Coca Cola or Pepsi per week, one less cup of Starbucks coffee, one less trip to McDonalds at the global level. A moderately secure family decides to purchase four scooters valued together at $5000 versus a used car. There goes a large percentage of a $1.5 trillion dollar market and the compound interest generated. Will the Global South continue being the pipeline and the medium of it’s own demise?
    Will there be equilibrium, will all of the world’s value be financialized to the point that there is no differentiation of asset value and entropy overtakes the human experiment? Or will the connection to western debt be broken and entropy reign supreme in the west?
    ask a socialist or a communist or a capitalist i’m sure they know and each knows why the other is wrong. and humanity continues to murder children for profit. and i am encouraged to take this foolishness seriously. i have been and will continue to be disadvantaged because i do not take any of this seriously. angels on the head of a pin in the 21st century. and we continue to murder children for profit. and declare with all of the joyous pomposity of an idiot “I’m A Capitalist”. and we continue to murder children for profit – thermal equilibrium, count on it

    D pattern recognition is not all it is cracked up to be. Jamie Dimon says he is a capitalist. Blinken and Biden say they are defending and protecting the Constitution. The EU says they are staunch defenders of free speech.
    “where of course under liminalism it both is and isn’t” Dr. D 11/16/23
    kind sir you wish me to view the present moment in terms of thought generated in 1848.
    highly charismatic, amoral, spiritually depraved humans rise to the surface from time to time and declare they are using one system or another. After a time another such rises to the surface and everyone declares the presence of the same system. No, another charismatic and depraved personality has risen to the surface and the less charismatic sociopaths and psychopaths are drawn like moths to the flame.
    Discovery of value precedes price discovery. When both of these mechanisms are absent in an economic system the system is organized theft, capitalism has nothing to do with it.
    Either there is transparency or there is not. The economic system without transparency is not capitalism. Of course as you so readily note, it is and it isn’t.

    “Objectivity has got to go.”
    “free itself from this notion of objectivity to develop a sense of social justice.”
    “I’m a Biased Journalist and I’m Okay With That.”
    these are the calls to democracy. democracy – the bastard child of tyranny

    please note the second quote does not call to establish social justice but a “sense” of social justice. i am not a journalist and i too am biased. My bias is bound to that which we identify as the Bill of Rights within The Constitution of the United States of America. In terms of the ideal, citizenship within The Constitutional Framework, The Nation and Her people, individual human rights must be upheld and defended whether an individual is withinin the minority or the majority.

    Let us cast aside and indeed trample under foot the idea that The United States of America is a democracy. A simple review of the Tenth Amendment, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” is enough to demolish the concept of majority rule within the United States federal government.

    Determining the outcome of a vote in any circumstance is a matter of logic and mathematics. A proposition is put forward a decision is to be made and a vote is taken. A point is placed on a number line and a measurement is made. To simplify the conditions a set of variables is stated, nay=n – yea=y -abstention=a(a=o), such that n≠y = y≠n and n+a=n – y+a=y
    The vote is taken abstention is noted and removed from the equation and n<=>y conversely y<=>n or
    n=y = y=n=null point
    n>y The nay takes the point
    y>n The yeah takes the point
    Null point and the proposition is discarded or the vote is taken again. Governance follows the vote and in the nation i am humbled to be a citizen of discipline, courage, honor and compromise temper the nature of the society. Providence Be Willing. The talley of a vote is either accurate or inaccurate, nay or yea or null point and is an objective measure. When the talley of a vote is not objective it reveals fraud.

    is there any device in the history of humanity that damns democracy to a greater degree than the guillotine?
    Do you think the journalists quoted desire subjectivity or democracy in the hands of the deplorable or in the hands of a faux majority?
    Stop looking to the past, the challenge is at hand. Vote with your life, today. Reap that which you sow.
    Courage or Cowardice. Defense of the weak or tyranny of the faux majority are your options.

    Central Bank Digital Currency – Central Banks within the western power structure are the engine whose purpose is to drive growth. Growth of industry, growth of trade, growth of ever expanding debt based capital is the function of the institutions. When i hear or read an opinion that central banks will create a prison planet by limiting growth and access to markets i am highly sceptical. i also know the source is one who lacks the courage to acknowledge there is another foot with another boot. Anyone who believes 15%, perhaps 1%, of earth’s population will control the universe is lacking in depth of perception or has an ulterior motive. Ask yourself this question, “Whose bread is this person attempting to butter”? There are two types of prison. In one setting the constraints are within the walls and in the other the constraints are outside of the walls. The paradox of course is who is the prisoner and who is free.

    Watters “I was told”

    i saw pictures and videos of members of the United States armed forces patroling and, thus by their presence, protecting poppy fields in Afghanistan. These images were created during the presidency of Donald J. Trump.

    What i did not see was a video of Donald J. Trump acknowledging the corruption and bringing forth court martial procedings for anyone in the command structure of the U.S. armed forces. Lest someone raise an objection. One of the functions of the Executive Branch under Article II of the United States Constitution is found in Article 2, the president is the commander and chief of the Army of the United States.

    oxymoron if i am “possibly another” i ask your forgiveness.

    When i was five my father was the chief deputy sheriff of a county that emcompassed a large southern metropolitan area. On a particular evening our family was loaded into our Plymouth Suburban station wagon and driven to witness a cultural event. Due to his postion we were able to park in a moderately close position to the extravaganza.

    I have no matrilineal claim to anything and i am caucasian yet this cultural event was directly related to a part of my identity. The KKK sponsored this event and it was staged just down the expressway service road from my families place of worship.
    I grew up in a region of the world that Righteously hated Jews, Niggers and Catholics. My father made damn sure i learned this lesson about the social construct i was immersed in. Politics being what it is and hatred being what it is there are two things i never told anyone as a child. I never told anyone my last name and i never told anyone i was Roman Catholic. I have understood that compared to my sisters and brothers with dark skin judicious use of language afforded me a shield from hated. I did not have to say “I’m Catholic” and that omission gave me the safety of just another little white boy. My black sisters and brothers have no such luxury.
    There are two things i know for sure. First i know being hated for belonging to a certain class of individuals. I also know being hated for not hating another class of human beings.
    Watching a cross burn down the street from your church brings a certain clarity of mind. In that state of clarity i know there is no “Righteous Hatred” or “Cultural Superiority”.

    as i said regulary as a child and from a now cemented realization, “forgive me for i have sinned”.

    Have you seen the video of the Law enforcement agent beating the Orthodox in Jerusalem? Would not want the Orthodox taken hostage by empathy, compassion or justice

    Words for today:
    Sect –
    1. A group of people forming a distinct unit within a larger group by virtue of certain refinements or distinctions of belief or practice.
    2. A faction united by common interests or beliefs.

    Sectarian –
    1. Adhering or confined to the dogmatic limits of a sect or denomination; partisan.
    2. Narrow-minded; parochial.

    Myopia – Lack of discernment or long-range perspective in thinking or planning.

    Those who become slaves to the Enlightenment may indeed be divided into sects. The sectarian divisions range from clueless arrogance to dogmatic, inquisitorial fanaticism. A trait common to all in service to the Enlightenment is myopia, though the depth of the malady differs among the various sects.

    The most romantic state of learning is discovering how much more there is to learn. The archaeologists were pretty smug before the discovery of Göbekli Tepe, which also put a hitch in the get-a-long of the Egyptologists. Now, with the aid of LIDAR and satellite imagery, the jungles of South America are yielding information that shakes the foundations of the history of the Americas.
    The problem with this new knowledge is the reduction of profit to and status of the accredited intelligentsia. Most of the “knowledge” held by the western mind is facing the same process. To paraphrase, “it’s hard to be humble when you’re Enlightened in every way”.

    Saturday and Sunday millions are drawn to their television sets morfphing their identity into that of a faceless crowd wearing a team jersey. Hour after hour multinational corporations pay to insure the identity loss drug is freely dispensed. James Taylor described a similar experience: “No I do not dig the big time rock n roll, sit in the dark be somebody else”. What a wonder is the satellite broadcast of faux pagentry and talk, nostalgia inducing sounds and talk and talk and talk at radio wavelengths. Please do not forget you are a profit center and the marketing arm needs your help. Proudly say to yourself, “I Am A Profit Center”. Careful! don’t injure yourself patting yourself on the back!!!!!

    The multinational corporations that dispense the identity loss drug and work assidiously to assure total lack of satisfaction might be compared to pin worms. What do these multinational corporations do with the profits so willingly provided to them? Profit driven, the sponsor of the intertainment you deserve invest in starving, maiming, poisoning and murdering children. C’mon man 10% for the Big Guy. This market has more potential than character assasination!

    How come no one can remember Ronald Reagan was suffering from dementia at the end of his second term and no one knew who was actually pulling the strings for the Executinve Branch of The United States of America?

    I have one phrase for the Congress of the United States:
    More funding for war.
    Impeach and convict Mr. Biden and sweep all of the murder and corruption under the rug once again.

    Don’t You Dare

    time to remember some of Mr. Jefferson’s stark observations, most importantly what must be done from “time to time”.

    i will sit down and be quiet now

    Returned at 11:00 P.M. last night from a 1600 mile two day loop around the Mississippi Delta.
    i now understand the lyric “the land of California
    my sweet home Chicago”
    The purpose of the trip was to attend a funeral. How many days in a row can a heart be broken? Listening to a sixty year old, sixteen year convert to Christianity testifying about the Tribe of Judah and remembering the images of the children in Gaza broke my heart and bruised my mind.
    The masters of the universe had better hope that “Survival of the Fittest” is not the true paradigm. Frank Zappa noted in the 60’s, “If your children ever find out how lame you really are, they’ll murder you in your sleep.”

    There is one man in the world i would go to for an hones and truthful answer to a quaestion.

    Oroboros do you remember when everyone was so sure that NATO would emerge victorious in Ukraine? The western nations dominated the narrative and the Russians were inept and clueless at narrative and social media and that sealed the outcome.
    Did you read how The Russian Federation had to Shock and Awe or be seen to “have no balls and” experience “a massive loss of face in the court of public opinion”? No i suspect not.
