Martin Armstrong: "Those In Power Will Risk War And Civil Unrest To Preserve It"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Martin Armstrong via ArmstrongEconomics.com,

Nigel Farage may be the only practical politician these days because he came from the trading sector. He explains the Euro-Project and its failures. He makes it clear that the Greek people never voted to enter the euro, and explains that it was forced upon them by Goldman Sachs and their politicians.

 

Nigel also explains that the Euro project idea that a trade and economic union would then magically produce a political union – the United States of Europe and eliminate war.

Greek-Protest-Natzi

 

He has warned that the idea of a political union would end European wars has actually filled Europe with rising resentment in where there is now a new Berlin Wall emerging between Northern and Southern Europe.

 

cyprus-fuck-europe

 

The Euro project was a delusional dream for it was never designed to succeed but to cut corners all in hope of creating the United States of Europe to challenge the USA and dethrone the dollar.

That dream has turned into a nightmare and will never raise Europe to that lofty goal of the financial capitol of the world.

 

Draghi-Lagarde

 

The IMF acts as a member of the Troika, yet has no elected position whatsoever. The second unelected member is Mario Draghi of the ECB. Then the head of Europe is also unelected by the people.

The entire government design is totally un-Democratic and therein lies the crisis. Not a single member of the Troika ever needs to worry about polls since they do not have to worry about elections.

This is authoritarian government if we have ever seen one.

 

Draghi-Euro

 

The ECB attempts by sheer force to manipulate the economy with zero chance of success employing negative interest rates and defending banks as the (former?) Goldman Sachs man Mario Draghi dictates.

 

european-parliament

 

Now, far too many political jobs have been created in Brussels.

This is no longer about what is best for Europe, it is what is necessary to retain government jobs.

The Invisible Hand of Adam Smith works even in this instance – those in power are only interested in their self-interest and will risk war and civil unrest to maintain their failed dreams of power.

What Nigel doesnt get is everything is awesome if you are a 1%er..... After the shitshow the past couple of weeks, I can but conclude that they are going to defend the markets irregardless of the real economy, until the bitter bitter end.  CDS's wont be allowed to cook off, and their can be no dip greater than 5%....  When it ends it will end spectacularly...  But my horizon for that is not until the next shemitah, or what the fuck its called.  In the mean time more made up stats, and more facism for the 99%

This is a DUH statement for many, but after being short and trying to rationalize, well time to change the course.

The Shemitah does not fail.  Ever.  I would challenge anyone to study it's pattern, for when you add a 3 month window to the tail of it - it hits 100% Johnathan Cahn's book The Shemitah Year : Long title is a great starting point.

I have a strong expectation of what is going to happen to fulfill the Shemitah which is going to finish on September 13th, 2015. I expect the first event about mid-late August.  I am not sure to even share it in this forum because people would not believe it even if I told them.  The events that will fall around this finishing date will be biblical.

Buy Put options with impossible strike prices, buy inverse ETF's like FAZ, buy puts on QQQ.   And do it with brokerages that will not go belly up in a market panic. 

And when you cash them out - close out the account and never look back at the market again.  Just sayin.

The little DeWalt work site radio I just purchased says in the manual..

DO NOT INJEST BATTERY..

OK.. I go along with that, but WTF planet am I on that needs to put this sage advice in a manual?????

How about..

Do not consume your feet.

Assure that red hot pokers do not penetrate your eyes.

Keep large, invasive proboscises away from your sphincter (optional for some folks).

Attempt to leave all rounds out of the revolver when playing Russian Roulette.

Do not drive your car after imbibing a half liter of Jack.

When diving off of balconies strive to hit the deep end of the pool.

I could go on..

1.    "To turn the radio on and off, press the ON/OFF button (A)."

2.  "Turn the dial (B) clockwise to increase the volume. To decrease the volume, turn the dial counter clockwise."

 

 

and so.. the thing has a 110V primary cord power for power along with the fact that you can use an 18V or 20V DeWalt battery to power it up.

So,  do you think that whist plugged into the 110V mains that the thing would charge the battery?

Well I would,  but then I am not the maroon who spec'd or designed it.. no such luck..

C'mon... be honest.  The Euro was created to consildate the power of the international banksters - period - human nature be damned.  Everything they've done has been on the road to a debt-based world currency of some kind.

If you or I had designed it, we would've built the radio into the charger itself as the charger is typically plugged in at the core of the jobsite anyway.  These engineers knew exactly what they were doing in assuring the sale of additional batteries for otherwise useless accessories, radios, work lights, pencil sharpeners, etc.  I used to work as tool manager for an electrical contractor and would go through these things like candy.  The tool portion, the drill, light, saw, etc. was a throwaway and was used strictly to sell batteries.

Charger-45.  (2) Batteries-45.ea  Total drill kit (in a handy carrying case) for 99.bucks.

I suspect Elon’s business plan is quite similar.

There is also a blood moon occuring during the same time the Pope will visit DC on the solstice. Got a funny feeling about late '15.

In a side note, the Jade Helm manuveours are suppose to end mid September. With the money they have spent to get all the trucks there (earthmovers?? wtf?), I suspect they have designed the keeping forces for the forseen problems that will coincidentally occur.

Following this Shemitah we see the 'Super Shemitah' immediately after it - and every single one of those has resulted in large land masses  being given to the Israelites. Hate it - Like it what ever your opinion is this is what is going to happen.  But the important factor to realize is in order for Israel to capture a bunch of land - there must be a large war in the middle east some time in 2016.

So yeah, that means on-pair probability & causality with these ...

You do realize that there are many other people in the World...Yeah..They are the MARKET PARTICIPANTS...You know?

 

Without their PARTICIPATION there is NO MARKET...AT ALL.

 

And if there a lot of those MARKET PARTICIPANTS, who ACT UPON THEIR MYSTICAL BELIEFS...and then SELL THEIR SHARES...then there stands a good chance that PRICES WILL PROFOUNDLY DECLINE as a EMPIRICAL DIRECT RESULT of the what you consider THEIR IRRATIONAL AND MYSTICAL BELIEFS.

 

And since there are many, many more of them, than there are of you, then YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY POWERLESS to DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

 

So WHEN IT HAPPENS will you consider their MYSTICISM a CORRELATION? Or will you consider it a CAUSATION?

 

You are PARTICIPATING in these markets, populated by those whom you consider inferior and irrational?

 

Perhaps you ought to take a GOOD LOOK IN THE MIRROR and understand that YOU MUST BE IRRATIONAL for irrationally expecting that the irrational will behave rationally.

Point taken.  OK, so what happens when I make proper use of these events shaping up to occur in September and ride out the storm for what, another 20 orbits?  The fact remains that I'll be 20 years older then and as Pink Floyd aptly says, and I've heard resounding in my head from the 70's, "shorter of breath and one day closer to death".

The only answer is not that there will be those spending an eternity in Hell, but that there will be those who will be united to our common self-existent God throughout Eternity.  This is a far more important event to prepare for in my humble opinion.

“…And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?  But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.  Matthew 9:11-13  kjv

I agree that once irrational decision volume reaches a certain critical mass it can cause the system to move in the same direction as it would have had due to the cause being anchored in reality - reverse causality. However, before it happens it is still irrational and panicking over it is just wussing. being prepared must be a continuous state, a way of life and shouldn't be influenced by random causation, potential events due to people's mysticism.
Then, where the fuck u see me calling anyone inferior, where did i called the irrational to behave rationally and why the fuck u screaming?! Did you use any scientific method to estimate satisfactory the outcome of potential actions of significant social groups? You just panicking and laying rotten eggs of fear. Actually you may very well try to influence the perception and drive the decisional act trough cheesy generalization. So without correct scientifically assessed forecast a mystical belief value remains the same *0* like in ZEROhedge. Should we conclude it will not happen? Of course not, i'm not aware of any scientifically correct study in this direction and the same for the opposite. So, remember failing to prepare is preparing to fail, however, put cold water on paranoia and irrational fear and prepare consciously.
and for the ones quoting the most delusional story book in the humankind history - just useless farts against the wind.

Being aware of any scientifically correct study may increase one's mathematical possibility of taking advantage of a future event if one acts on the knowledge and if all the given propositions / suppositions to the model are identical to the actual event one is comparing them to.

Economic theories remain in the realm of theoretical thought mainly because the replications of previous events are open to subjective interpretation.  A couple constants in trying to develop a workable solution to this moving target are to apply at least 2 knowns, one being the knowledge of the finite time one has on earth and another is the innate knowledge humans have of right and wrong.

I realize both of these have shades of difference from which demographics can help in broadly describing groups but I maintain in the final analysis, the only one that matters is the individual.  I can’t die for you and you can’t die for me and if history is any guide, the possibility that I will be dead for a far longer time than I will have been alive on this earth is very great.

Thinking people should realize that fact in my opinion, and the information contained in the literature you deem as “the most delusional story book” provides a far more logical and reasonable explanation as to the origins of these knowns than an off the cuff dismissal as you would propose.

"So, remember failing to prepare is preparing to fail"

Just my theory too.

When the actions of an unseen hand are attributed to a figment of imagination and fed to the gullible, the fantasy can resemble reality.

Simply because Santa Clause isn't real doesn't mean the presents being delivered in his name are also make-believe.

In fact, the presents serve to reward the false belief, and extend the con while also achieving the desired control of behaviour.

Its not a huge leap from "Santa only comes to good children" to "Sinners will burn in hell"...

Expect nothing less than fireworks for Shemitah, because anything else might break the established illusion.

I suggest reading the book before forming an opinion because to engineer these many market corrections in that consistency all falling inside the Shemitah windows  going back decades and decades is an impossibility by any group of humans no matter how elite or 'mystic' people think it is.

The math is the math, God doesn't force anyone to see his handwriting in the markets, and leaves everyone free to ignore His handiwork.. blame it on elites, or tesla technology,  blame it on the external events that all seemed to magically occur in precision to fulfill another Shemitah.  By This december it will have been 'written into' the markets again. 

People will blaim this crash as the ones before it on all the external events just as in 2008 it was the debt ceiling and bailout, and in 2001 a bunch of planes hitting towers, not seeing the super-force that oversees the whole show and rewards accordingly..

there is no 'good guy' in this scenario. Its a giant clusterfuck. the greeks shouldnt have borrowed so much money. The greek people shouldnt have kept believing socialists who promised them free lunch forever, the ECB/EU/IMF shouldnt even exist,  much less be lending the taxpayer dollars of member nations to insolvent govts like greece, the ECB shouldnt be allowed to conjure currency out of thin air and lend it out with interest, the other EU govts shouldn't have shifted the burden from private banks and hedge funds onto the backs of their taxpayers to prevent a banking collapse, the Greeks shouldnt have kept borrowing more money just to pay the interest on their outstanding debt. Its a giant ponzi scheme, and EVERY SINGLE ENTITY involved in it is at least partially responsible when it blows up. No matter how this all goes down, I want them all to lose, because they all deserve it.

Exactly.  It's cronyism or corporatism or whatever you want to call it.  The means of production are still solidly in private hands.  While all forms of totalitarianism suck, it is best to know what form you are living under if you ever want a chance of getting out from under it.

Even more dangerous than the production of goods is the production of ideas, thoughts...feelings.

Is the media capital of the world Washington DC?

No way.

So set aside mere "response times" for a moment and think "pupil dilation."

That can and without any doubt in fact is measured. "We are ourselves engineered." To do what and for what purpose is a darn good question.

If the "intermediary" is money however the term "pretty much anything" does come to mind.

The government does not own those companies.  Now add the SEC turning its head, and you have a bought off government.  The government is owned.  Not officially, but none the less, it is owned.  And who controls the valuations?  I think that you'll find that a privately owned bank has a very large influence.

"War" very much can be the definition of "self awareness"...perhaps consciousness itself.

So yes "they" or "them" (meaning "authority" or some type of "hierarchy") can indeed wish for a State of Paranoia in order to frighten the "mere mortals."

Gotta watch out for the "Human Being" though...they're curious about things and have crazy ideas like "God" and "math."

Psychology only goes so far.

Listen to this as you read...

 

"Hope" by Klattu

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNMrUJiz4j0

 

You are going to need hope and pray to God...THAT I AM WRONG.

 

THE HISTORY OF THE GREAT ECONOMIC COLLAPSE OF THE 21st CENTURY...A Requiem written as a warning to the Universe, as there is only one Lighthouse Keeper left.

 

People had become too complacent and satisfied in the developed Nations. The people were basically kept distracted by Televison entertainment. They were far too interested in the exploits of the Rich, the Famous...the DEGENERATE CLASS.

 

But the cracks in their Financial foundation had become far too massive to contain. In September, 2015, the Derivatives Markets had blown up. This in turn caused every single Financial institution to implode. The Death and Debt paradigm, that which they had used affectively, came to a crashing stop. This Mortal Event was called Credit Freeze II by those who were aware. And there were far too few people aware.  And then all Hell broke out.

 

As the Banks were selling everything, attempting to stay alive, they sold off everything...everything. The massive Developed Nations' Bond Markets had collapsed. There was absolutely no trust in any Financial Institution by any other Financial Institution. All loans stopped. And without the creation of any new debt, the facade, the House of Cards, collapsed under its own weight.

 

By November, 2015, the price of Gold had declined from an all time high of $1921 in September, 2011, to just a little above $1000 and the price of Silver, had collapsed from a all time high at $48 in May, 2011, to roughly a little over $10 for an unprecedented Gold/Silever Ratio of a stunning 100 to 1.

 

These were just symptoms of the massive imbalance in the World's Financial Markets. But, by far, they were not the only indicators.

 

The most important indicator, as it really demonstrated the advance or decline in the Global Economic Activity as it was the mainstay of fuel which was the main driver of all activity. Oil. Yes we had lived on a Petroleum based Energy sourced civilization.

 

That price of Oil had begun a long decline in September, 2014, but nobody, well very few, understood the implications. There were all sorts of theories, from the attempt to place economic sanctions on some Nations, intentionally attempting to cause them economic pain, suffering, and lack. (Yes. Humans are not known for their kindness but their cruelty towards one another knows no bounds. It is actually good that their extinction was realized.) But it declined ftom $100 to $42 per barrel by January, 2015. The reason was not any political sanctions but their production had been CUT IN HALF. And that means that their Government Revenues declined by HALF.

 

But they were just to blind to see the implication. Furthermore their valuations of companies were not based upon real production but upon sophisticated dishonest and fraudulent Financialization schemes. Of course this added to the eroded trust after the September, 2015 collapse.

 

So by Novemeber, 2015, the price of Oil had collapsed to $20/bbl and this reflected a cessation of roughly 80% of all Global Production. 

 

The Dow Jones Stock Market had spectacularly collapsed as well as the NASDAQ and S&P 500 as we were in the depths of Credit Freeze II. Finally the people understood it. There is no value in any company if they are not producing any product to sell or if they have no customers with the money to sell those products. It seems so simple in hindsight.

 

But fortunately their cruelty is compounded by their stupidity and this served to limit their ability to damage others...at least for awhile..

 

After the Credit Freeze II had manifested they believed that their Cash was King. Yet by November, 2015 that had begun to ebbed somewhat as their Federal Reserve Bank's printing of Physical Dollars combined with the divestment of Physical Cash from the vaults of Foreign Central Banks had alleviated the shortage of Physical Paper Dollars by November.

 

The shortage of Physical Paper was the direct cause of the failure of electronic banking as the faith, trust, and confidence in the solvency of other banks by other banks and had caused the shutdown of the Credit Banking System. The only alternative which the population had to electronic banking was Physical Cash and there is just not enough of that to lubricate their economy. People were selling everything they had. for nothing if you can believe that, just in order to get those Paper Dollars...THEY WERE FOOLS!!!

 

The people were so short sighted and scrambling for cash...to fill up their Gas tanks, put  food on the table, and keep the lights on. They had no thought of what was down the road and were absolutely unprepared for this onslaught which had hit them.

 

Of course it was not just the USA was scrambling for liquidity.

 

Every single other Foreign Bank was also experiencing the ravages of Credit Freeze II.

 

Thus they divested themselves of their reserves to get needed and required goods and services to provide for their Governments and their populations.

 

The lack of Credit caused gross distortions, a lack of liquidity, and they were forced to divest themselves from their reserves.

 

As there wias a lack of liquidity the first phenomena that was experienced was a profund decline in prices for everything.

 

Of course the overreaction by the US Federal Reserve was the massive printing of Physical Currencies. The other Nations did the exact same thing.  There was a massive production of paper Dollars, Euros, Yen, Pesos, Yuan, Rubles, whatever, from every single Nation on the Planet.  This is what led to Global Hyperinflation in the following years ahead.

 

Of course, with the Fed's overreaction of printing cash combined with the divestment of the $12 Trillion of Physical Cash held in Foreign Central Bank vaults, then the Hyperinflationary Inferno was certain in the USA as well, and it had followed throughout 2016

 

Now there were some who were not foolish and refused sell their Precious Metals at ANY PRICE. They unfortunately believed that there would be another side to this catasrrope. Sadly they were mistaken because they had allowed the foolish, psychopathic, and narcissitic "leaders" to have the keys to the Nuclear Arsenals. So these leaders spoke with their populations and convinced them, as they were foolish and cruel to begin with, that it was another Nation's fault for the deat, suffering, and destruction imparted by those leaders, and convinced them that a War, a Thermonuclear War at that, was not only winnable, but justified.

 

This Hyperinflationary Inferno had absolutely destroyed the US Dollar as a viable currency, The IMF, in a vain attempt in order to bring about a "peaceful" solution,  replaced the US Dollar with the Special Drawing Rights Currency as the Reserve Currency. Now they had claimed that it was in order to attempt to restore some semblance of confidence into the World's shattered Financial System. In reality it was an attempt to consolidate power and line their own pocketbooks. This failed as riots due to shortages caused vast destruction of the major population centers along with the supporting infrastructure. The people, understandably, no longer trusted the Financial Crooks although they still worshipped the leaders of their respective Nation States as demigods.

 

By the beginning of 2015 the World had passed into the Event Horizon, had crossed over the Rubicon, and were well into the abyss of civilizational collapse.

 

By 2021, after many yeas of death, hardship, and suffering the leaders of the World decided to commit Planetary suicide and every Nuclear Warhead on the Planet was unleashed.

 

Thus here is the requiem of this DEAD Planet as there is only a lighthouse keeper left...who has some hope...and unjustifiably at that.

Debasing the Euro towards parity and with the Cram Down of reforms in Greece being an example to the rest of the PIIGS, they might just pull it off.  How does that sound?

Europe would be pretty damn competitive at 0.95 to the dollar and a 40 hour work week, if the trim the dole enough to create a workforce.

I think this puts a hell of alot of pressure on Old Yeller not to raise......, and in fact print.

I read Bramley's "The Gods of Eden" twenty years ago along with about 200 other books. Bramley is correct on most of it as far as I can see. The House of Orange is heavily connected to the evil manipulators and yes they are either off world or ultra-terrestrials. The public is lied into a state of stupidity from cradle to grave. The upper layer of the elite know that intelligent life exists not in some distant galaxy but starts 230,000 miles away with neighbors on and within the moon. The Ruling Dirt-Bags have gone to incredible lengths to keep this from the public. This is the big lie... and the Ruling Oligarchy have a thousand hyenas and jackals to put you down if you bring it up.

...why would the Fed pump billions into Europe?

The US realized quickly there was an excellent opportunity of getting to control the entire EU by means of free money. What's not to like ? Whenever things don't go our way, just issue the threat of closing the central bank swap lines, and Euro banks credit lines with the FED, and things will calm down very quickly. That's why the Europeans toe the line in Ukraine, and that's why Schaulbe's (and even Merkel's) days in power are numbered...

Don't believe any of that crap. They think they are aligned with Obama on ideological basis and so they cooperate.
When Bush was president the "old Europe" was giving US the finger.
The French have not cooperated until Obama became president. Many of the other Western European countries were on and off in their cooperation. Once the Soviet Union fell the now independent East European countries were more than eager to make friends with Western Europe and US. They were the easy ones to pick up and cheap.
Once Obama leaves and the euphoria is gone there will be shifting in alliances again.

Obama, Google and Huffington Post, what do they have in common? Censorship.

Google is many things; but its most significant characteristic is its management and censorship of the Internet by the ranking of its search results.

Obama is famous for his flippant lie to productive Americans: "You didn't build that"

And, now, in another version of managed censorship, The Huffington Post has banned Donald Trump from the “news.” The Left is being driven from the field of battle.

Donald Trump’s single attack on America’s massive Mexican immigration is generating such support from displaced Americans that Marxist media is scrambling to escape the news. Today, the Huffington Post, perhaps the leading online Leftist mouthpiece, ran from the news and political opposition like no other publication has ever done. In Leftist parlance this is called censorship. Many instances of censorship from Huffington have been reported in the past, such as that of Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com and Columnist Paul Craig Roberts; but this one is different, it’s a pre-announced censorship of a presidential candidate

The Huffington Post will no longer cover the Donald Trump Campaign as part of its political coverage and instead will consign it to its “Entertainment” section. Here’s the censorship announcement:

HUFFINGTON POST

A Note About Our Coverage Of Donald Trump's 'Campaign'

Ryan Grim Washington bureau chief for The Huffington Post

Danny Shea Editorial Director, The Huffington Post

Posted: 07/17/2015

After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won't report on Trump's campaign as part of The Huffington Post's political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump's campaign is a sideshow. We won't take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you'll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/a-note-about-our-coverage-of-donald-trumps-campaign_55a8fc9ce4b089651

And back to Google.  It was just back in March that Google began the way it ranks websites, declaring it intends to use partisan, debunking outlets to “determine the truthfulness of content.”

Writes Steve Watson in Google “Wants To Cross Check Websites Against Debunking Sites Such As Snopes.com”:

In short, any web pages that provide information that contradicts or questions Google’s own established “truth”, will be bumped down the rankings.

In addition, some of those working on “truthfulness” ranking technology have expressed a desire to verify or rebut web pages by cross-referencing them to other sources, such as Snopes, PolitiFact and FactCheck.org. These websites exist and profit directly from debunking anything and everything. What’s more, they have been previously exposed as highly partisan.

It is a move that will set alarm bells ringing for fans of alternative media websites, such as Infowars, which are regularly attacked by the professional debunking websites merely for questioning official narratives, and popularising underreported information.

Presumably, the meters of truthfulness and trustworthiness ultimately implemented by Google will stem from government accounts and its mouthpiece mainstream media reports. The rise of the alternative media has directly correlated with the routine exposure of misinformation, propaganda, and outright lies emanating from these institutions.

In fact, the party – which is now the third biggest in British politics – will have just ONE representative in the House of Commons….

A host of parties will feel shortchanged by the first past the post system but Ukip supporters will be especially frustrated after the party polled nearly four million votes with a huge swing in their favour. …

At the other end of the scale the Scottish National Party would have been restricted to 37 votes rather than their current 56 after winning just 1.5millon votes

It's those fucking floaters...they keep bobbing up after the flush...like the Bush's, The Clinton's, the Kennedy's...the only way to get of turds like that is to blow holes in them.

Observation Bias

The act of observation changes the observed behavior, but keep measuring data dependency, with a mirror. I can wait to see what the actuarial ponzi accountants come up with next. Majorities voting to control minorities is ludicrous, and governments do fairly represent their constituents.

Not so ironically, the critters were given a dc computer, to chase Moore’s Law, which locks up when things don’t add up, when the unknown is encountered, and their solution is to mass produce the thing and make it their God, making work illegal for an entire generation of youth, subjecting them to prison for not working.

The resulting distribution is young people with no work and no check, middle-aged people pretending to work for a check, and older people getting a check to keep young people out of the economy, in yet another monkey-see, monkey-do, aspirational closed system, where choices are a product of habits, copied right out of the womb.

In fear of change, the majority is always printing itself a check, for being blind, deaf and dumb, expecting young people to get in line to feed the ponzi. You can follow, employ it as a brake, or employ is as a counterweight, for regeneration. That’s just the way it is, with critters cutting off the leading edge and placing it in back, to avoid work, misery seeking company.

An aircraft carrier didn’t win WWII. Ponzi demographics re-boots itself. The choice is a slow train wreck or a fast one, new boss same as the old, confirming History with a self-absorption bias. Propose all the solutions you like; the critters are going to spend all their time making up excuses, laws, to do nothing, and prevent you from doing anything, collecting sunk costs net.

Capital buys from government low, and sells to government high, depleting you. The corporation promises to pay you for work, breaks the promise, and will not accept your promise to work for pay. An economy built on trade fraud by controlling agency goes nowhere accordingly, faster and faster, in search of a meal ticket, you.

The low cost critters are simply biding time, collecting trash left behind by high cost critters going over the cliff. There is nothing new about activist shareholders and debt issuers proposing a false choice, laughing all the way to a bankrupt bank, real estate, the old-fashioned way, crack me up. That’s it; leave Yellen and Clinton holding the bag. Is it just me or is watching their testimony painful.

Putin isn’t popular and Russia isn’t weathering the storm by accident. The US has voted to contain itself. Obama is just a highly paid scapegoat, but as a lame duck, he is saying some interesting things that his financiers don’t want to hear. Labor is only going to stick its neck out for productive kids, not real estate inflation, not welfare, not minimum wage and not prison, all the majority has to offer.

I just turned down 7 six-figure jobs, because the critters are too stupid to issue small business commercial lines of credit, preferring instead to continue collapsing community banks in favor of TBTF. So long as real estate inflation exceeds wage gain, as it has for decades, their money has no traction, so they increase capital control, brilliant.

You did know that France is controlled by a Germanic tribe, and a Germanic tribe built the bomb? That’s the German way, always fighting the last war, and losing, to Germans, in a game of useless information advantage.

What is the problemsolution of the if/else conditional statement? Corporations aren’t in the business of diverting family bridge financing, measuring the economic activity as goods and services, by accident. A consumer economy, the empire dream, as presented by Facebook in this instance, is an oxymoron.

A dc circuit has one and only one use. It’s a gravity sink. If studying gravity told you how to escape it, humanity would have been exploring the universe long ago, instead of its own back yard.

The people of Europe must take back their countries.

The EU is a demonic entity.

As is the United Nations and their Peacekeepers.

Nigel was in fact the victim of a small aircraft crash accident, circa 2010 during election campaigns... he obviously survived to tell the tale... and carried on with a stiff upper lip....

Any time that the USA doesn't have to send its young men over there to help them sort out their differences, things in Europe are awesome. I'm sure most Brits feel exactly the same way.

Farage always makes good sense partially a good orator, unfortunately too sentimental and biased.

True, EU is disintegrating, powers transfered to EU institutions are abused to detriment of nation states , ECB's misbehaviour against Greeece is one example.

 

Farage says greece and UK should leave EU, and I will vote for the UK and support Greece to leave, however there is still time to change before the fracture becomes a permanent split, CHANGE EU before its too late.

No nation should be able to bully and destroy others, Germany's misbehiour should never be experienced again, EU institutions must change radically NOW!

It does rather jarr the senses coming from an elected representative.

I used to get that strange sensation when listening to Ron Paul as a member of Congress.

An unapologetic Trump actually saying what most (rational) Americans know to be a fact is pretty astounding for an office seeker too.

What would happen to American politics if a rash of telling the truth broke out?

Oh yeah... Ron Paul.

Never mind.

You nailed it.  These speakers from England, Ireland and Scotland are absolute masters with the language, and with the tools to deliver it in a sparkling sashion.  Check out this incredible speech just this week from a young Scottish woman, her debut speech in fact.  Absolutely remarkable... and Mhairi (Mary) Black is only 20 years old for god's sake.

She is a cracker.

But the Scots are always better in the English language, than the English. Which is rather odd.

Or as somebody put it "they have a better turn of phrase".

The further north you go, the lower the influence of the Normans. English becomes more germanic and less french. A lot of what is seen as Scottish or Northern phrases, are Saxon.

I have actually noteced that... the Scots are indeed the best.  And the speech Robert Emmet made on the eve of his execution, where he absolutely ripped the ass off the judge who sentenced him to death... that speech has to go down in the history books as one of the most incredible speeches of all time, from a 25 year old Irishman.  Absolutely unbelievable.

It was so impressive that my great-grandfather named my grandfather after him.  "Robert Emmet XXXXX"
