There’s a new feature to the Anything-Goes-and-Nothing-Matters economy: Nothing-Adds-Up. The magicians who pretend to measure the growth of GDP (Gross Domestic Product — the monetary value of all the finished goods and services) came up with a second quarter “adjusted” figure of 1.2 percent. That would have to be construed by anyone acquainted with basic econ stats as perfectly dismal. And yet the Bureau of Labor Statistics put out a sparkly Nonfarm Payroll Report of 255,000 for July, way above the forecast 180,000.
There were so many ways to game the jobs number — between people forced to work more than one shit job and the notorious “birth/death model” used to just make up any old number for political purposes — that no one can take this information seriously. Anyway, the GDP number was instantly forgotten and the jobs number launched the stock markets to previously uncharted record altitude.
It’s that time of the year for the hedge fund boys, with their testosterone flowing, to start burning down their house rentals in the Hamptons. And it’s also the time of year for an ever more stressed financial system to go down in flames. And, of course, it’s a presidential election season. Even for one allergic to conspiracy theories, it’s not farfetched to imagine a coordinated effort by central banks — under government direction — to generate Money-Out-Of-Thin-Air (QE) for the purpose of allowing “liquidity” flows to end up in US equity and bond markets in order to paint a false picture of “recovery” so as to insure the election of Hillary Clinton. I think that is exactly behind the recent money-printing activities by the Japanese and European Central Banks, and the Bank of England.
Why would it end up in US markets? For bonds, because the Euro and Japanese bond sovereign yields are in sub-zero territory and the BOE just cut its prime rate lower than the US Federal Reserve’s prime rate; and for stocks, because the value of the other three currencies is sliding down and the dollar has been rising — so, dump your falling currency for the rising dollar and jam it into rising US stocks. It’ll work until it doesn’t.
Why do this for Hillary? Because she represents the continuity of all the current rackets being used to prop up belief in the foundering business model of western civilization. If she doesn’t get into the White House there may be no backstopping of the insolvent banks and bankrupt governments and a TILT message will appear in the sky. That TILT message is likely to appear anyway because, remember, the authorities are only pretending that they can manage events. In fact, all of their “management” strategies and shenanigans only insure the further distortion of the basic operating system, which is already so far out of whack from twenty years of previous management efforts that nothing in banking and markets really works anymore.
Companies don’t make money, despite rising share prices. No one in his right mind buys bonds with negative yields — that promise to pay back less over time — so governments have to pretend to buy them. (In fact, they don’t so much “buy” them as simply extinguish them by playing three-card-monte with national treasuries.) And, of course, the masses of people in all these nations — including the patsy USA — sink ever deeper into penury every month.
The release of tension is being felt in the ground game of politics where outsider candidates here and abroad are rising on a tide of rage and resentment. The fecklessness and stupidity of the elites has been epic, sacrificing everything to maintain the illusion of normality. Nothing is normal and “the people” are finally onto it. Sadly, it looks as if both politics and finance are veering toward crack-up simultaneously. The daisy-chained Too-Big-To-Fail banks are already choking on the suicide bolus of derivatives. The equity markets are one algo accident away from cratering. The bond markets are a sick joke. And Hillary may win the booby prize of presiding over the smoldering wreckage of it all. When it happens, she will have no idea what to do.

There is a website, ‘News of the Weird’, and last week it noted that
Montpelier, Vermont is going from paved roads to dirt roads.
Montpelier will discover that dirt roads require FREQUENT maintenance i.e. grading and ditch clearing.
It’s all in how you want to structure the cost. First-class paved roads have a high upfront cost but, last a long time. When they do require repaving, the cost is high but, a responsible government will create a road fund that gradually accrues tax revenue for that day.
You either pay forward for repaving or you have a road that requires semi-annual payment in the form of regular grading and ditch clearing. Take yer choice.
I’m thinking that if dirt roads were really all that, they never would have been paved in the first place, and I’m not someone who is a fan of asphalt.
Not a fan of mud, either.
Jim,
By your handle I’m guessing you don’t know what Vermont winters are like. Even a well designed and constructed road needs extensive rework every few years in the north. Grading a rock base road costs a fraction of repaving and they don’t “frost heave”.
Well, you’re right. I’ve never experienced winters in the Northeast except for brief vacations. Down here in Florida, asphalt roads last a long time.
There are reasons people don’t move to Vermont, and they are the same reasons people leave. After 6 months of wearing long underwear, wool socks, and 4 months of 3,4,5, layers of cloths, hats, gloves, shoveling snow, slipping on ice, lighting fires in the stove, every day, comes April, the second half is Mud Season. Thats when gravel roads go washboard, and paved roads heave. Bedrock ledge is an inch or two below the road in lots of places.
But then the people with money don’t piss on poorer people, because anyone could slide off the road, and anyone passing will stop to yank you out. Because you could freeze to death. You could be the only one passing that night, you might save a life or two. Then again, folks have guns, because you don’t know about the people with out of state plates.
Yes, considering that the Hippies took over, an amazing synthesis has been attained. The Crunchies have accepted that guns are a way of life among the old Yankee Americans. Thus the old and the new embraced. No doubt they secretly desire change though….
Believe me, we know this already. Vermont has a higher % of dirt roads than any other state, well over 60%. 2 of our 4 houses in VT have been on dirt roads, less than 15 miles from the largest city in the state. We know full well how to manage and maintain them, we have something called “mud season” every spring.
With proper crushed gravel a dirt road can be pleasant to drive on. The problem is that people drive too fast. The surface gets ripped up and flies off into the woods. People cannot be taught to drive slowly.
I have seen a freshly graded dirt road degraded after just three days of traffic.
You can’t fix stupid.
I can attest to that; there is a stretch of road near me (~2 miles) that is unpaved, and would most likely be very difficult to pave. Using it cuts off an otherwise circuitous route on the various paved roads. The County has to regrade and tend to this stretch of road every 6-8 weeks, especially if we get heavy rains. It’s also treacherous; several fatalities and countless wrecks in that short stretch over the years.
Well, for the 12,000+ buck-a-roos that I pay for property taxes, on a lake in The Green Mountain State, I get my dirt-road re-dirted at least 5x a year. More in the summer, as the torrential rains create wash-outs and yes the dust is awful, and what else can I say. We have a failed Guv’na, who they love in Birmingham, and the state in general is a disaster. But, we are lucky, this year anyway, in that there are no mosquitoes. Really, no mosquitoes. We had a pretty snow-less winter in the Champlain Valley, a very dry spring and a pretty dry summer so far, except for the torrential rainstorms, and that being said, a favorite comment said repeatedly by an attorney that I worked with in another life, All is good.
Hey twomartinilunch, I thought they called that town “Burlington” not “Birmingham”. Are you sure you’re not living in Alabama? Or perhaps downing too many martinis?
I believe he is making reference to a Randy Neuman song about a provincial Alabamian he believes all is great iwth his state.
“We had a pretty snow-less winter in the Champlain Valley, a very dry spring and a pretty dry summer so far”
Hope you’re not including those factors in the “all is good” category. Here in NE Vermont they’ve meant no skiing in the winter and carrying buckets of water uphill to the nut trees and berry bushes this growing season.
Bernie said Whites don’t know what it means to be poor. Guess he forgot or doesn’t care about you folks.
He was projecting.
Here,
Sanders—the Socialist One Percenter….
Bernie Sanders doesn’t ride the sardine packed subway every morning to work because now he has his own private plane, and he can retire on the royalties from his $20 million book deal.
“Just 48 hours after the senator from Vermont endorsed Hillary Clinton for president during a rally in New Hampshire, the publishing company Thomas Dunne Books announced it will publish “Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In” a week after the election in November.”

For a slacker like Bernie to have done so well for himself is truly the American Dream.
Nice sleuthing, m.
Costa Rica uses a very interesting method – instead of paving roads with asphalt or concrete they lay down a grid which allows grass to grow somewhat and also drainage but does not dissolve into mud or scattering gravel like traditional roads. That method makes a lot of sense to me in not requiting constant repaving but still providing a supported structure for vehicles, while also allowing drainage and green to grow somewhat. Of course Costa Rica also GROWS most of their fences with short trees/ bushes instead of dead wood fence posts and then stringing wire across the short trees/bushes!
I took my family to Costa Rica in 2009. We took a van from La Fortuna to MonteVerde Rainforest. It was 100km and took 4 hrs. As a major road it was pathetic. I could have gone faster with a mountain bike going around the potholes. The trip was great–and I would go again but the back roads are slow.
That sounds like the traditional paved asphalt road.
With a polymer tic-tac-to pattern grid you will not get potholes.
The grid just goes right into the dirt or soil and provides stability…
here is an Indian article on polymer grid roads:
https://trid.trb.org/view.aspx?id=366465
This is an increasingly common phenomenon, letting blacktops revert to gravel. It began in the west (Dakotas, WY, CO, etc) and has spread east.
No, the upkeep is not so much. A grader once to twice a year, gravel,and maybe even sealcoating if you are upscale.
They don’t even repave the Sherman Blacktop anymore. Patch the potholes and seal coat the fucker biannually, that’s good enough.
Anyways, get used to driving on a washboard kids…

Yes, but remember climate change isn’t real.
Noel,
Nothing is as constant as change….
If it remains socially acceptable to vote Hillary come November then I can tell you with some generality that what she proposes will be like a woman of her type, it will be petty, small minded, cruel and inward focused. Think of a typical office matriarch suffering from a fatal disease and spiteful to her co workers to the point of visceral hatred.
The punch bowl is spiked, the lines are cut on the mirror and the party will continue till they are literally doing these lines on air at CNBC. As predicted above it will end and stress upon the country will be enormous and the D ruling party will need a distraction.
If the D party of Chicago tells me, that great distraction will be guns. When a D in Illinois is cornered they reflexively reach for the distraction of gun control, never fail. You will buy it, never fail.
Sigh… There are plenty of valid criticisms to be made of Hillary Clinton from both the left and the right that are based on her actual policies. Is it possible we could hear one of those just once? Does it have to be ad feminam all the way?
I think, if I were Trump, I would play that video of “We came, we saw, he died” over and over. This captures both policy, and her “petty, small minded, and cruel” side.
It’s a shame. We could use a genuine woman in the White House, one who might refrain from war, not vote for Iraq, not because she supported it but because of how a no vote in a successful war would look for her Presidential ambitions. Hillary will ruin the chances of Democratic women for a generation.
Current American society is incapable of producing women of quality. If any do exist, they are the fading residue of a distant memory of the Old Republic.
The only female worthy to be POTUS would be Queen Maria Theresa of 18th century Austria, if she suddenly manifested from The Great Beyond to take the job.
She would probably demand hardship pay for ruling such an Orwellian dump.
Someone once pointed out to me that the women we embrace as having leadership qualities are the ones that follow the male model. Hmm. There’s a lot in that.
Maggie Thatcher used to take male hormones.
So any time a woman acts badly she simply acting like a man? In other words, if a woman acted like a woman it would always be good.
This is classic female psychology. Complete unwillingness to take responsibility. And of course, profoundly misandrist. And your vote cancels out mine – that’s just not right.
Another example: “If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.” See how throws the onus on men avoiding the Fact that Abortion already IS a sacrament among Feminists. It’s a revival of the ancient sacrifice of children to Moloch.
I’m not so sure about that. I think Elizabeth Warren benefited from being in the national discussion, short of sullying herself by actually running with Hillary.
If there even are elections in a recognizable United States in four years, a generation of young liberals who feel betrayed by Bernie’s “endorsement” of Hillary will be more than ready to support a true alternative.
If the TBTF banks haven’t burned the economy to the ground by then, many more voters will have to recognize the fact that we need an enemy of the banks in the White House.
But what’s a “true alternative”? Wall Street Lizzie?
Speaking of small minded and petty Katherine Kane the AG of Pennsylvania was convicted on all counts in her corruption trial.
As she was going down in flames, can we guess her attempt at distraction, yes it was gun control.
Of course in my illustrious state of Illinois a former governor the Hairstyle one as he labored under investigation for everything he would throw out “gun control” as the magic elixir for the dimwitted Dem masses. Of course he was at one time a privileged white male, now he is an inmate in Florence, CO, hope he don’t get shanked by someone railroaded on gun charges.
In the one party petty tyranny known as Mass. their AG I assume is following state tradition of felony indictment since her cause celebre is gun control by whim.
So if you are in that progressive bastion of corruption expect a new AG and the present one a Ms Healy is packed off to tennis camp with high fences (hope she don’t get shanked by some inmate whose man got railroaded on stupid gun charges)
I think the American people are being played like a slick fiddle by the MSM regarding how rosy the economy is (just wait until the Obamacare premium hikes hit the masses in October) and also regarding the “polling” showing Hillary Rodham Clinton being ten points ahead of Donald Trump.
They may be “telling” us she is winning in the polls, but the size of Donald Trump’s rallies everywhere he goes is in the thousands with people outside who cannot get in, whereas Hillary Clinton cannot fill the downstairs of a public library!
People I chat it up with here in Marina del Rey, whether at the bagel joint or CVS or the post office or the local pub for happy hour are NOT that into Hillary Clinton!
She is roundly loathed as a liar and fraud and nobody I talk to is going to vote for her.
On the other hand people are into voting for Trump because they “think” they will be giving the Establishment a giant middle finger salute by doing so. I saw today where Congress is now looked at with lower esteem than cockroaches!
And related to the MSM, I am linking a comment made from Sibel Edmonds with Newsbud who started looking into where NBC got the idea that Erdogan had “escaped Turkey and was looking for asylum” during the “coup”.
The only problem with that reporting is that he was NOT escaping and looking for asylum. What was the “source” of the reporting? The Pentagon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_7kgSxLBB8
Sibel and her team, with just a bit of surface scratching, are discovering that all the media “watch dog” groups in the United States are not trying to keep the media on the straight and narrow. They are “watching” the news media lie like rugs to the American people and keeping themselves muzzled.
As for the November election, I see where Jill Stein will be doing a Town Hall with CNN on August 17th at 9pm EST. They are in it for Clinton so I fully expect them to “try” to sandbag Stein during that hour. You can bet the farm that Clinton and her team will be paying very close attention to this Town Hall (not to mention all the Sanders supporters who are seriously considering Stein over Clinton).
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Town Hall gets preempted so we can all watch Milwaukee burn to the ground.
I’m afraid I’m looking forward to certain cheerleaders for Obamacare getting smacked hard by reality. This is what we’ve come to, at each other’s throats and fighting to keep the last shred of ‘privilege’ over one another.
A young woman I know recently had minor surgery, and has been having problems related to that. Not unusual, but from what I’m hearing all the problems are either caused by or related to the government’s further intrusion into medicine. She voted for Obama and was in favor of Obamacare. I told the person who was relating the woman’s woes to me, to tell her to embrace the suck.
” embrace the suck”
Semper Fi….
abbywood,
I can’t stand to watch the lyin’ MSM for more than about 10 minutes at a time. But the polls they take are only adding up to about 80% when they count only the two major party buffoons. How about the other 20%? Are they undecided or don’t care? Are they for Johnson or Stein? Are they for NOTA? These polls are so obviously rigged against third parties. Both Johnson and Stein have enough support that they should be in the debates. But the D&R controlling parties are demanding that they must be at 15% in the polls to get in. How is their support supposed to register when national surveys don’t even count them? That “Catch-22” is quite a catch!
America’s best chance is with Trump. He’s tough, he can inspire and he has the acumen to listen to people who know what they’re talking about. Unfortunately, Trump or Hillary–there will be a new civil war. It won’t be like the last one where great armies took to the field, but it will result in a breakdown of the political, social and financial orders. Grab your asses and hang on to your hats.
“Grab your asses and hang on to your hats. ” – Layne
The CFN Commenters Motto.
From what I have read Trump’s managers are begging him to read their morning summaries and spend just an hour a day studying the issues. He won’t do it and prefers to shoot from the hip. In over a year he has learned nothing about statesmanship. At 70 he will be the oldest President ever elected. Perhaps he is senile.
Hillary is a fraud. Neo-liberals like her cling to the domestic issues of the 60s and call themselves Democrats but have embraced the one-world, globalist elite agenda at the point of a gun foreign policy. I think she is a lying scumbag who will probably drop dead during her first 90 days in office. Either that or she will be impeached like her husband before her.
She and Trump may be both totally discredited by November. (both are partially discredited now) I suspect something big is going to happen – something we have not heard of yet. Or maybe Gary Johnson will win. I’m certainly considering voting for him – or not voting at all.
On the other hand, if Trump suddenly becomes Presidential (I can’t define it, but I’ll know it if I see it.) and stops blundering I may take a chance on him.
I like his take on foreign policy. No more damn wars. But he has backtracked on his immigration policy. He went from barring Muslim immigration to making them take a test. I also like his fix for healthcare. Repeal the laws that give healthcare a monopoly and exempt them from anti-trust laws and make pricing honest and transparent. Let insurance companies compete across state lines. Ultimately though, we are going to have to do something to control prices – especially for drugs. An no more $300,000 bills for 2 days in the hospital for a snakebite.
“She and Trump may be both totally discredited by November.”
The Great Race to the Bottom has begun!
Well, once she’s in power, she won’t need to know what to do. Events will take over and lead wherever we go and it isn’t possible now to know where that may be, even though we all talk as if we know.
Elites are as ignorant as every one else, but they have had the power and used it quite effectively to this point. They are still in charge, aren’t they and life for them and, us, continues on its merry way. I had a nice breakfast this morning, after a comfortable night’s sleep. The day that stretches ahead seems predictable and secure. The sun also rises. What comes next is what has always happened; destruction followed by rebuilding until God determines otherwise.
“a TILT message will appear in the sky”–Like the fallen tributes images projected into the air after sunset in the “Hunger Games” books and movies, no doubt. When it happens to the economy, it won’t be as funny as when Stephen Colbert said “Bye, Bye, Bernie!” on his show last month. Also, the young people might not get the reference. They’ve been playing video games for so long they might not know what happens when they abuse a pinball machine. They might even confuse it with a marble music machine they saw on YouTube. To them, a failure of the system is a Blue Screen of Death. That wouldn’t show up well against an already blue sky, would it?
“Hillary may win the booby prize of presiding over the smoldering wreckage of it all.” Based on what I saw last week here in metro Detroit, I’m expecting it. Clinton’s forces are much better organized than Trump’s. Trump showed up a week ago today and was greeted by protestors–hundreds of them, including more than a dozen who were thrown out of the hall. The news coverage focused on the demonstrations more than Trump’s message. When Clinton appeared on Thursday, the news coverage focused on Clinton rebutting Trump and much less on the pro-Trump, anti-Clinton protests. The group was smaller, maybe fifty tops, and were not well-organized. They certainly weren’t able to infiltrate the hall where she was speaking and disrupt her message. Better organization on her part in both venues. As long as this election maintains a semblance of business as usual, that will matter.
Someone told me that if you didn’t already believe the media was working for Hillary, imagine what would have happened if Donald Trump had Dylann Roof’s parents sitting right behind him at one of his rallies.
Trump is self destructive. The only reason he’ll have a better electoral showing than McGovern is because many Republicans will show up and vote “R” like robots regardless of the candidate.
On my tin-foil-hat days, I wonder if Trump didn’t get into this show at the request of his old friends the Clintons to make Hillary, who is only slightly less repugnant that Romney was, look like a reasonable choice.
SteveO,
You’ve got that backwards. Historically, it’s the D’s who show up like a plague every year to pull the D lever. Many who lived through the depression (now a fast dying breed) have never voted for a Republican in their lives.
An issue that has not been mentioned thus far is Hillary’s (failing?) health. A persistent cough, falling down often and giving herself a concussion, an inability to climb stairs, and evidence of seizures to mention a few. According to Hillary’s personal confidante, Huma Abedin, Hillary can be easily confused. Perhaps that’s why she doesn’t hold press conferences. Will the MSM be able to gloss over all these issues before the election? Watching a doddering older woman go down hill for the next four years won’t be a pretty sight.
That was funny like JHK used to be.

And a CFN Commenters Official Song!
Layne you gotta get in the ad business.
Doesn’t Hillary Clinton have a pattern of dealing with disasters? Won’t she find some way of extricating herself from REALITY by blaming someone else for the weaknesses (Benghazi) or saying she had no knowledge of what her friends were doing in the other room (DNC Scandal) or that her plans involving huge amounts of monetary donations from Saudi elites will work for the USA no matter what obstacle (misogynists, rising health care costs, starving children, WWIII, etc.)
Will Trump follow his pattern of dictating to banks and contractors what they will lend, write off and accept as fair payment? Will he freeze prices like FDR? How does he feel about Julian Assange and Edward Snowden when it comes to reining in the press? Where’s the obligatory minority candidate for VP?
Exactly on the mark, as always.
And I thought, with a title like the one JHK utilized this morning, his missive was going to return to the civics lesson being engaged in in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Alas, not that but instead the macro-economic house of cards known as the hyper-finance capitalism.
This sucker IS going down but only when Empire cannot back up the tough talk and the Central Banker Cabal with 15 aircraft carrier battle groups; and 20 divisions for exercises and the global intel infrastructure.
Take away the petro-dollar and whoooooosh…………..down the shitter the USA, and most everyone else, shall go.
Although counter intuitively in this case, and ironically, just like at the casino, The House always wins.
There is a 40 meter Ferretti, crewed, provisioned and rarin’ to sail for French Polynesia, to a small islet with typhoon proof bunkers, 1000 bottle wine cellar, and very private beach. Don’t forget some Gauguinesque lovelies to pass the time.
The oligarchs, kleptocorp operatives and otherwise evil bastards have it both ways and laugh all the way to the bank (and there will be some sort of banking institutions left after the Great Flushout.)
Well here again, as always, the short-term view prevails. What happens a few months down the road when fuel for the power generators runs out? No refineries abutting French Polynesia. And how about the various minions (boat crew, guards, service staff)? They all have dependents as well. Are their loved ones going to be abandoned to the free-for-all so the Masters can be served in the style to which they are accustomed?
At some point a cabal of the more ambitious armed guards are going to figure out that they don’t need Massa no moah, at which point boss-man and his pretty daughter and mean wife promptly end up floating in the lagoon and feeding the sharks or earning their keep as coconut gatherers & sex slaves.
18 months down the road the long-life antibiotics run out. Don’t cut your finger on that machete or you’ll get blood poisoning and die. And tough luck for the half-dozen or so comrades who develop diabetes: the romantic palm trees aren’t secreting insulin. And so on.
The 1000-bottle wine cellar is a tipoff: these goofs swindling each other with CDOs and property deals on Wall St. don’t really have a clue about long-term survival.
Why do this for Hillary? Because she represents the continuity of all the current rackets being used to prop up belief in the foundering business model of western civilization. If she doesn’t get into the White House there may be no backstopping of the insolvent banks and bankrupt governments and a TILT message will appear in the sky. That TILT message is likely to appear anyway because, remember, the authorities are only pretending that they can manage events.
The fecklessness and stupidity of the elites has been epic, sacrificing everything to maintain the illusion of normality
This is a little like NYC at the end of the 80s, when a severe crime and crunch was headed to the city. Dinkins was handed a city with a lot of problems, and was unable to fix them, let alone not make them worse. I figured the same with Obama in 2008, but then the demographic change in the country parallels that in the city: in 1993, the white ethnic working and middle class could back Giuliani against the incompetent Dinkins. No such revolt will dispose of DeBlasio today.
Just the same at the national level. Hillary might be getting handed a catastrophe, and I think she is. I do not expect the revolt against it to succeed in 2020.
“No such revolt will dispose of DeBlasio today.”
“Hillary might be getting handed a catastrophe, and I think she is. I do not expect the revolt against it to succeed in 2020.”
THERE WILL NEVER BE A REVOLUTION IN NYC.
THERE WILL NEVER BE A REVOLUTION ON THE USA.
Revolution is the Internet Bravado-Speak.
Time to retire the Star Spangled Banner as the National Anthem. We are not worthy to sing it because of the final declaration, “Land of Free and the Home of the Brave.”
We are neither Free nor Brave.
The very fact that the FRENCH are willing to go on strike for any slight against their hard-won rights makes them far more Free and Brave than we are!
How many times have We Teh Sheep bombed WTO meetings where our jobs were being negotiated away?
How many times has Wall Street been bombed for the countless evils they have financed and participated in?
How many shooting insurrections have been fought against Federal tyranny?
How many fought it out with the Sheriff when he would come to evict a family from their home due to the Mortgage Fraud crisis a decade ago?
How many coup d’etats have been carried out against the POTUS for any number of crimes against The Sheep or national security?
How many CEO’s and their cronies have suffered personal injury and property damage for closing down a factory and moving it to China?
How many factories, slated for relocation to China, were torched rather than allow the insult to stand?
Free and Brave…. MY ASS! We need a new National Anthem!
I nominate Beck’s, “Loser,” as the new national anthem.
I do agree with part of your grievences, especially:
The Sheriff when he would come to evict a family from their home due to the Mortgage Fraud crisis a decade ago?
How many CEO’s and their cronies have suffered personal injury and property damage for closing down a factory and moving it to China?
How many factories, slated for relocation to China…
But we’ll be the Best Losers in the World!
“When it happens, she will have no idea what to do.”
As the certified lesser of two evils in the eternal false dilemma of POTUS candidate choices the thinking must be going that she will have no idea what to do a lot better than the Trump would have no idea what to do whenTSHTF.
Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Cthulhu (pure evil), K-Dog (no evil).
There are other choices. *
A big Tilt in the sky just before the steel ball hops up and raps the glass!
* I’m kidding about the K-Dog choice so the Secret Service can kindly just please leave me the fuck alone this time.
“As the certified lesser of two evils” K-Dog, you missed two obvious slogans that riff on this very theme. Let me help you. First, Jill Stein’s slogan is “Time To Reject The ‘Lesser Evil’ & Stand Up For The Greater Good.” I did my part to help her message along when I reported on Michigan Green candidates from the bottom of the ballot to the top. As for Cthulhu, his campaign slogan has always been “Why settle for the LESSER Evil?”
She has a huge crush on the Black racist rapper Immortal Technique.
40 million people were allowed to come into the country since 2000.
An unmitigated disaster for the planet. And Americans have completely lost their political economy to the unbelievable dogmatic hubris called the “nation of immigrants” narrative.
Your vote of protest accomplishes exactly nothing. Both candidates may do damage but only one seems poised to stop the flow of Americans. In 2100, this election and these candidates will be long gone, and so will all of us,. Do something for your planet- and your children’s children- before you go.
Try and prevent North America from ending up a crowded, chaotic mess.
At this point, all other problems are run-away. They are happening and will continue, and no meaningful solutions can be implemented except by a people who somehow come together to sacrifice. Ain’t gonna happen. National polity has the power to control a discrete variable in the I=PxAxT game. Population growth is the only issue that comprises a substantial difference between the likely candidates.
As for Abortion, leave for sick moms, and the rest of the entitlement bullshit, I say screw these constituencies. They are trading polity for benefits. They don’t want to fight in the streets for their rights to party. They want to kick back and sacrifice nothing while receiving a supposed benefit. These people are so full of hubris they don’t see that kiddie-kare leads directly to compulsory education in a gladiator academy.
Either you believe in issues which put you in bed with strange fellows, or your issues really don’t have common cause. Vote against your interests this election, the difference is completely moot.
There is over and above a protest vote the Russell Brand positure of not voting at all.
Lil Deb, the Great and Infernal Truth of Election Packaging is that We Teh Serfs were not permitted to have a choice! Both sides offer puppet candidates who are completely unacceptable. All we can vote for is the propaganda we like.
We Teh Serfs can no more elect our POTUS than we can vote for the Australian Prime Minister or the CEO of General Motors. Our “votes” are just a form of polling data.
Our so-called, “Government,” is a semi-private corporation literally named, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INCORPORATED.” We haven’t been under the organic Constitutional Federal Government since 1861. The debts of the U.S. Government, caused by the Civil War and Reconstruction, forced a bankruptcy reorganization and redefinition of what Washington DC represents. That was codified and put into play in 1874.
Therefore, we are literally ruled by a foreign power! The Stars and Stripes represent a flag of MILITARY OCCUPATION of the 50 States. The States have had NO SAY in the Senate since the 17th Amendment was passed in a debt restructuring move and subsequent privatization of our currency. The only real representation in Washington is on behalf of the BILLIONAIRES and their toadies.
Wait a second!!!
Isn’tit supposedto be ‘No taxation without representation!”?
Yet “The only real representation in Washington is on behalf of the BILLIONAIRES and their toadies.” …and they DON’T pay taxes.
The billionaires pay something BETTER than taxes. They pay campaign contributions. They make things happen to help their Congress Critter or Senator get reelected.
THAT is how, and why, they get representation!
I have to agree with Mr JimInFlorida.
“At this point, all other problems are run-away. They are happening and will continue, and no meaningful solutions can be implemented except by a people who somehow come together to sacrifice. Ain’t gonna happen.”
Yes, Solutions abound for the problems at hand, but there is no will to make the hard choices. Well said.
” make the hard choices” – Make the hard choices men/women!
Be stout.
‘try TO prevent’
Glickman, president and CEO of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society and formerly a spokesman for the U.S. Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, was quoted here
on VDARE.com in 2003 as saying:
“The more diverse American society is the safer [Jews] are.” [Community
Questioning `Open Door`, by Nacha Cattan, Jewish Daily Forward, November 29, 2002.]
This seems to be the same idea that Earl Raab expressed, the first time the Census reported that whites would become a minority in America:
1965 Celler-Hart Immigration Act:
We have tipped beyond the point where a Nazi-Aryan party will be able to prevail in this country.
We [Jews] have been nourishing the American climate of opposition to bigotry for about half a century. That climate has not yet been perfected, but the heterogeneous nature of our population tends to make it irreversible—and makes our constitutional constraints against bigotry more practical than ever.”
[Earl Raab, San Francisco Jewish Bulletin, July
23, 1993]
Emanuel Celler, a Jewish Congressman from Brooklyn, made his first ever speech in the
House of Representatives against the massively popular and extremely necessary Johnson act of 1924. Celler, who served in the House for over 49 years, was able to reverse
this success with the Hart-Celler Act, which was to become the Immigration Act Of 1965. His biography in the Jewish Virtual Library makes it clear that he opposed immigration restriction and endorsed mass immigration for ethnic reasons.
As the JVL puts it
Today, nearly 75 percent of American Jews descend from immigrants from Eastern Europe. In this season in which we celebrate the ancient Hebrews` exodus to freedom, it is fitting to recall
Emanuel Celler`s efforts to make America a promised land for Jewish immigrants, and for all victims of persecution.

Thoughtcriminal! Spotlights are instruments of anti-Semitic hate crime.
Queen Maria Theresa of 18th century Austria did more than just expose the Jews. She kicked them out completely!
Greetings from Nevada City, CA! Not sure but this burg way up in Gold County may be a good hideout from the gathering storm. At least we get to swim naked in the Yuba River this time of year.
“There were so many ways to game the jobs number — between people forced to work more than one shit job and the notorious “birth/death model” used to just make up any old number for political purposes — that no one can take this information seriously.”
As for the BLS, they ought to remove the “L”.
I think the Bank of England had to print money because a few people in En-ger-land wanted to ‘Make Britain Great Again’ by cutting off relations with our biggest trading group. We will see how great we are…

Its autumn, leaves soon turning, then swirled in eddies of wind to curbside, then raked and piled for dumpsters. Sort’a reminds me of how some posting on this site selectively collect “facts” to dump into their dumpster(ish) meme. God, its bad enough to have the media obscuring our nation’s intellectual atmosphere, but now we have this site too filled with the ash cloud of inflamed PC. Does a particular regular poster come to mind?
The Chinese policy of getting rid of US Treasuries gradually makes a lot of sense. Their economy has many problems, but the manufacturing sector is still strong.
Of course, if their markets crash, their government has the ability to conduct mass arrests and roll out the tanks built in those factories. I’m guessing the Chinese yuppies would simply go along with it for the sake of stability.
Here, anything goes until, eventually, everything will go.

Wait – you think they are tied to the United States? They are the Internationals, the Cosmics, the Mercurians! They have plans in place to go other places when this goes down. America going down may well be part of the Globalist plan anyway.
“And Hillary may win the booby prize of presiding over the smoldering wreckage of it all. When it happens, she will have no idea what to do.” –JHK
For decades Hillary has known exactly what to do. She has become a multi-millionaire. We are being asked to believe that all that accumulated knowledge and experience will suddenly mean nothing. Suddenly Hillary will not be able to defend her wealth and that of her Wall Street friends?
“This sucker is going down” has been repeated so often here, for so many years, that it is losing its scare effect.
Pretend and extend worked. QE worked. QE2 worked. QE-infinity is working.
Every time doom is predicted here, the establishment finds a way to avoid complete collapse. At least for the last 17 years I have been following JHK’s periodic predictions of collapse.
The long emergency is a long-term contraction. It not a disaster. It is a motivation to get your house in order and live below your means… after decades of gluttonous, excessive and diseased consumption.
Contraction is good for us. Gardening, bartering, creating community… all good for us.
Good point! I wonder how many people who comment on this site, predicting doom, actually garden, barter and create community. It’s one thing to constantly wring one’s hands in catastrophe and another to quietly go about your business with hope and determination. In case you wonder, no, I do not garden, barter and create community; well, a little gardening.
At least pick *one*; garden, barter, create community. If you can at least see the mess that we are in, it is a start.
Yes, if the soil was healthy, we could live on one tomato or apple a day. The Hale Bopp cult taught that the ET’s have messed with “the Garden” and now we have to eat all kind of things all day long.
Janos,
The cult you referenced once held a meeting in a building I owned…I did not attend.
How are you not responsible then? For want of a nail, the horse shoe was lost. For want of shoe, the horse was lost. For want of a horse, the message was lost. For want of the message, the battle was lost. For want of the battle, the war was lost. For want of the war, the Race was lost. For want of the Race, the World was lost. All for want of a nail.
Are you not a nail? Just say no. They intended to kill themselves for a while and would have found one nail or another.
Janos,
I was not aware…my brother gave them permission (he was running a business in the building at the time)…I only found out about it the evening of the meeting. At the time, the cult was considered benign, and referred to as a “spaceship cult”…vague rumors. This was outside Grants Pass, Oregon in the mid-late 70’s (?). We also had the Bagwan and his group running around the county, but later, in the 80’s. Josephine County was always a hotbed of counter-cultural crap.
You’re missing the point of nationhood, and particularly of the order crafted into our nation’s founding documents. Essentially, we can’t survive individually against the onslaught of global forces or the despotic tendencies of those always lurking amongst any human group; remember “enemies from without and within”? I know, I know, wpa-ccc believes only among Whites do evil wiles manifest while the PC crowd general blather incessantly that nationalism is inherently racist, xenophobic, etc., etc..
A nation is inherently only one race. Or as the Founders said, “for us and our progeny”. They would have been utterly aghast at minorities being allowed in. As would the Chinese. The Hindoo. The American Indian. The African Negro. And so on and on.
Check for all the above. What exactly do you have to barter? I have veggies up the yazoo this year( as long as I can keep them in water).
Small Jap bikes 100-150CC, and bicycles as well. Do you pedal?
Yea, Jap is derogatory. Sorry. They do however make a kick-ass one lunger bike!
You can grow those? What about American? You’re gonna get beat up by the Hell’s Angels. They hate that Jap crap.
I sharpen handsaws; I have a 5 gal bucket of honey I barted for 7 saws, some restoration involved. I do drystone walls; antique restoration, including tools; wood canvas canoes; masonry heaters; mushrooms; pine tar; pine charcoal; light welding.
I traded $85 for dinner. Fair-and-square.
Hey Yuri, I probably have 20 or more old handsaws, Rips and crosscuts. Mostly Disstons. Maybe we can make a trade. Ebay sucks now,shipping is too expensive.
I recently dumped my 1911 Old Town ceder and canvas canoe on eBay to a guy in Virginia. He drove all the way to MA. to pick it up. I still have the ’36 Firestone 3.5 HP motor that I got from the 96 year old who owned the canoe. I loved that canoe. It just got to heavy for me to through on top of the truck by myself.
I’m fond of Greer’s take on it. There will be a series of economic “events” or recessions (they won’t use the word crash) like 2007, 2001, 1992 where things get bad, but not 1930s bad) and then “recover”. But the recovery doesn’t get us prouls all the way back to where we were initially. So what you get is a step down function over time. Since it is relatively gradual, and those of us who remember what things were like before about 1970 are dyeing off, most people won’t realize how badly their lifestyle is degraded. Young people will assume that things never really were as good as their grandparents say they were, they’ll think we’re just senile and pining for our youth.
Yeah, that makes sense. Incrementalism is one of their greatest weapons. They can do it because they are already living the life of gods. This is just a hobby for them, but one they are passionately fond of. And of course, they see the destruction of nations and races and the reduction of global population as an investment in their future. You probably agree with much of their platform. Indeed they could do nothing without their mandarins.
Attempts by the American hawks to play back already lost situation after Brexit and counter-coup in Istanbul only lead to further losses of their already weak position.
It is clear that the provocation in Crimea was started not by Ukrainians. Just Ambassador Payette, representing not Obama and the United States, but Hillary and globalists-Neocons, decided leaving office, slam the door loudly behind him.
However, very few people care about the fate of resigned American Ambassador to Kiev after the dramatic turn in Turkey position, turning its back to the West.
Much more important for the global balance of power is the cancellation of communication channel between the “hawks” in Washington and the militarist wing in Moscow – in the person of Putin’s Chief of Staff Sergei Ivanov. That is a political punch in the gut to American neocons, is much stronger than any loss in Kiev. Precisely now, when the situation is extremely precarious – and the elections in the US, and most importantly – the heated struggle for the key geopolitical control nodes of the global trade, one of the two main contending parties is prevented even to bring not only their threats, but also backed by these threats proposals of compromise to the player, on whom obviously depends the balance of power in the world.
Besides the main rival of American Bankers – City of London – still keeps their communication channel opened and maintained by PM Medvedev.
Quiet and polite resignation of Ivanov – is a much more reliable indicator of the strategic defeat of US hawks and Hillary Clinton in the world than any of the most stringent steps with respect to their puppets in Kiev or somewhere else.
If the Kremlin has estimated the chances of Hillary and her wing of the global elite as a non-zero, it would have used other ways to influence the out-of-hand American hawks, that is, on the contrary – would have had to carefully preserve high-level communication channel.
This could have happened (in theory) if the provocation in the Crimea was a relative success and Russia would have to battle the Ukro-Nazi Crimean Islamists for at least a couple of days until all would be all finished.
However, they lost first Brexit, then hurried coup in Ankara. At the same time, in Yerevan the color revolution dedicated to the Turkish coup failed as well.
In general an attempt to take revenge for the Turkish defeat only led to more losses, now in Crimea.
Current informational “surge” of Hillary’s election campaign, the dirtiest in the history of USA, is very reminiscent to the “100 Days of Napoleon” in 1815 just before the final defeat at Waterloo.
And Hillary may win the booby prize of presiding over the smoldering wreckage of it all. When it happens, she will have no idea what to do.
Based on what has been happening over the weekend in my current city of residence, she may well have to start off by declaring martial law and calling out the various state national guards!
Regardless of who wins the election, Obama may have to declare martial law before either one takes office. The Trump v Hillary sides are so dug in that this cannot end well. Civil unrest will be much greater if Trump wins. If we are in martial law, can Obama cancel the election and continue as president to prevent the country from descending into chaos?
Hillary represents the faction for war. If she wins the booby prize of figurative “smoldering wreckage” the next step could well be to complement that with actual smoldering wreckage. It’s not as though this a novel concept.
Thank you! It is so obvious to me that the fix was supposed to be in for the Clinton/Bush Dynasty candidate, and it is even more glaringly obvious that we are now seeing the corporate propaganda machine, the “media”, going full-out for the remaining side of that coin toss.
The Republican branch of the Uniparty did not reckon with The Donald, just as the Democrats did not reckon with Bernie. The Democrats were just more experienced and adept at rigging things. How Bernie can live with himself after throwing his support to the corrupt candidacy which was the reason for his entry into the race in the first place, is beyond me.
Fortunately for him, his family owned property in an area rapidly becoming the domain of only the very wealthy, so he is able to trade it to be able to afford a place amongst ordinary working folks, a place on an island, where any middle-class person with a spare $600,000 or so can enjoy the same lifestyle.
This is a man who still believes we have over twenty kinds of deodorant, however. This is not 1972.
BTW, the polls are telling us that Donald has already lost the race. I remember telling people, around a year ago, that Bernie Sanders was a way more serious candidate than the MSM was allowing us to hear about. That was true. They were misleading on purpose then, and they are doing it now.
If Sanders had had any backbone he would have thrown his support to Jill Stein. I said all along that he was only in it so that Hillary had a sparring partner. A coronation without an opponent would not have looked good. When he endorsed Hillary I knew that he is a fraud.
Yeah and how about Liz Warren? All that passion against TPP when she was thinking about running. Nothing afterwards when she became part of Hillary’s team. No doubt she’s been placed “in line” for a future presidency. Blonde ambition.
During the convention, they cut away to Bernie’s face a few time. He looked like he was in hell. He betrayed everything he believed in and he knows it.
Are you saying that Governments lie to their populations? Really? I had worked that out by the age of 19- that would be 50 years ago. It applies not just here in the Uk but I far as I can see worldwide and throughout time.
I fact you could say that it is a fundarmental requirement of good governance that “we” are lied to the whole time about most everything. We all want them to “look after us” right? LOL
The Government is not your friend.
Eight years ago, when the credulous were all excited about a slightly black-looking man running on a platform of “Yes we can,” the old good guy / bad guy paradigm still prevailed. Since Mitt Romney, the chief vampire squid of Bain Capital Ventures, was obviously the Bad Guy, a little known but articulate Joe Lieberman clone must be the Good Guy, even if he had a funny name.
Now a great many Americans, including pretty much an entire generation of Millennials, has finally figured out that there is no good guy. Given Trump’s innumerable and ghastly flaws, it’s impossible to paint him as one, but he could, if enough American voters wake up, still destroy the Republican Party and at least temporarily stymy the Deep State. Those would be two very big, positive outcomes- and a hell of a lot better than what Hillary’s masters are ready to ram down our throats.
Yes, electing Trump as president is a terrible risk, but bending over and spreading our cheeks for the Deep State at this juncture is certain suicide. Hillary represents the final victory of the Deep State over the American people. The best-case scenario, such as it is, would be that Trump might prove the adage that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Yes, it has come to that.
Well said. That’s how I feel about Donald Trump. I am well aware of his flaws. I think that his worst character flaws, the opposition to him has in spades.
I’m not going to vote for the lesser of two evils. IMO, Donald is not evil. I used to feel that way about Hillary too, but not any more. I’m voting for a chance over no chance.
This will give you a better idea of what’s going on. Trump retweeted a tweet of himself as the god, Kek.

Then how do you explain that sneer?
Yes, electing Trump as president is a terrible risk
Look, in general, it turns out that she is not very healthy person. I tell you now I will not repeat everything that was written out there, but the result is absolutely monstrous. Just get out there, it is epilepsy, because it is a type of epileptic seizures. This is called thrombosis, venous sinus, ie venous network through which the blood pours from the brain – there is huge blood clot – that this blockage of blood vessels in the brain. This is an element of autism with a tendency towards psychopathy. This cognitive impairment and personality disorder, meaning it at certain moments simply do not understand where she is and what’s going on.
But then there is the same sub-cortical encephalopathy, ie, a disease of the brain sub-cortical, a progressive loss of white matter of the brain on a background of hypertension, ie, high blood pressure in the arteries often leads to it. And this dementia, that is the destruction of personality. Such person belongs in a hospital. Such a person does not belong in the presidential office. The woman, in fact, is incapacitated.
Given her poor health, the situation could be flipped from ’92. When Bill was president, many thought that Hillary was actually telling him what to do. I’ve read that she is the one who talked him into bombing Serbia – a terrible war crime, but what else is new. This time, maybe Bill would be the power behind the throne. If that’s really the case I’d breathe a little easier. Bill wouldn’t start WWIII. Hillary can’t wait to show how tough she is, and her declining health could make her even more reckless.
I tend to agree. I do not sense the depth of Evil in Bill that comes out of his wife.
Not sure though, that Bill will make it through inauguration. There were already hints in Flying Monkeys Media (Huff Post, for example) about him doing more harm than good to Bastinda the Great and Terrible.
Some say she has a hole in tongue. What could cause that – all her lies? And someone is always with her carrying an anti-seizure hypo.
Aren’t they supposed to release their health records? Or has her advent ended that tradition?
She should release her health records at the same time that Trump releases his tax returns. That would probably end both of their candidacies. Personally, I’d rather have a tax avoider (probably all of his deductions are legal), than a very sick, easily confused woman with her trembling finger on the button.
“Facts and evidence” were on the side of the Remain camp and delusion and xenophobia were the domain of the Brexiters. So sez the Remain camp.
Well, more than half of the voters scoffed at the alleged “facts” touted by the Remain camp. It wasn’t information, it was mis-information. That why Brexit won.
Now, there’s lessons here for the touters of – cough – “facts and evidence” on this side of the pond. If said “facts and evidence” don’t square with the reality of ordinary lives, that reality being jobs, paychecks and mortgage payments or, just as likely, minimum wage work, pay-day loan-sharks, eviction and food stamps, there will be a reckoning.
As reckonings go the Brexit vote was pretty mild. It was, after all, an actual vote and not armed revolt. Mind you, a vote that Cameron and other Remainers figured they could lie their way through. So, aside from the one politician shot dead, no violent clashes, no cities burned down.
But the reality of everyday life in large parts of the UK, didn’t square with the official Remain narrative. Just as seriously, the Remainers clothed themselves with all kinds of virtues. And hurled insults at the other side. You know, you hear it on this side of the ocean all the time: ignorant, un-educated, fearful, hateful, racist, this phobia, that phobia. More than half the voters weren’t having that either.
It’s like Abe said, you cannot fool all the people all the time. Thankfully, blue-sky bullshit and insulting people and insulting their intelligence didn’t work.
It worked on this side for a long while. No more though. People can see with their own eyes what’s what. They may not have college degrees in statistical manipulation. They merely see what’s happening with their own lives and their relatives and neighbors. There’s no arguing with a bank account and paycheck. You want facts and evidence? No money is one hard fact.
Well said. Trump is the last chance for peaceful change. And his supporters have been overwhelmingly the well behaved in all this compared to the Democrats and their hired Soros minority muscle.
As always, the millennials are hopelessly confused on both sides of the pond. They were raised wrong and given nothing but lies so the fault is not theirs alone.
After Communist terror prevented Trump from speaking, Bernie Sanders said “Good job, everyone.” Nobody picked up on that, but he was a Communist for most of his life and probably still is.
The Ninth Wave of compromising materials about Hillary Clinton nobody yet knows about except President Obama and his closest aids is about to hit unsuspecting public.

Document dumps can be made to say anything. Yet you believe them.
“Facts are meaningless. You can use facts to prove anything that’s even remotely true.” — Homer Simpson
Theoretically, it is necessary to declare a state of emergency, and President Obama is vacationing on the islands and he was in between golf parties briefed about riots in Milwaukee, but he’s not coming back to Washington.
And rightly so – why return to Washington and take responsibility if one of the presidential candidates removed him from power two months ago and now steers on his behalf? Stamp the wrong decisions he could in between the golf parties.
The only hope for the return of the president from his holiday is the emergence of urgent need for his participation in some electoral activities of the candidate, who steers on his behalf.

“briefed about riots in Milwaukee, but he’s not coming back to Washington” _ Fink
You must know that this is NOT a national emergency.
Last night at Kennedy airport there was a large-scale panic after a small-scale false report about the shooting in the two terminals, which were duly evacuated, and a few hundred! Police purposefully searched nonexistent shooters.
And also in New York about the same time Imam and his assistant were killed near the airport and I was not able to find the exact time of these events, but I have the impression that with the help of panic at the airport the police was distracted, and then a well-trained group of fighters attacked the Muslims, and disappeared without a trace.
That is, people are acting in a very well organized way and this is not going to be limited.
After that it is easy to throw in the trash all assurances by the media that in America the civil war is impossible. How it is impossible, when here it is, it is already underway, hybrid, civil war, and the question is not about its prevention, but about its termination.
And all this is happening against the background of the election campaign in which a presidential candidate is accusing the other presidential candidates that she wants to de-legitimize the elections and whack her rival.
But the real fun begins when one candidate accuses the other candidate that his anti-Islamic rhetoric has provoked the killing of Imam, rather than her obsessive desire to bring in 65 thousand Muslims with combat experience.
And if in response he hints back in the style of his allusions to the Second Amendment that she herself organized killing of Imam, in order to blame him with the responsibility for this unfortunate incident, it will be a point of no return, after which begins a huge dump of all sorts of compromising materials and such military operations in the informational theater of military operations that the US citizens will get a chance to watch it through the windows of their living room, rather than on the large plasma screen.

From a NY Times article;
“He described hearing something like a loud pop, followed by the sight of a herd of people running his direction.
“When you see 80 people come running around the corner,” he said, “and they break a door to get out, you think ‘Oh my god, what is happening?’”
He said he saw “people working for the airline taking off their shirts,” and saying, “This is not worth it, I am leaving.”
Within minutes, he said, police officers with their guns drawn were shouting, “Show me your hands!”
Dannyboy, just another incident in “fun city”…what is abnormal in other venues goes unnoticed in New York?
Existential sewer.

But now I see that you consider the New York Times the paper of record.
That is, people are acting in a very well organized way and this is not going to be limited.
You see, for David Koresh in Waco, attack by Hillary was a surprise – they did not know who she was, and then they still fought back.
Now WASPs know what will happen if they lose…
HRC will be a TERRIBLE executive in a time of crisis. She has already proven that she is inept during her tenure as Secy. of State. So, her term as the top executive isn’t going to make her any better, folks.
She isn’t decisive, lacks charisma to inspire others, and is of questionable integrity.
So, for those out there holding their collective noses while they consider voting for her to simply “keep the other guy out” are making a huge mistake.
My question is this: Why are you being so cowardly to vote for these two clowns?
You have a choice. Use it. There are people out there who have integrity, heart & effectiveness (Jill Stein, for one.)
“Is of questionable integrity?” Quite the understatement, Pete.

THE 2016 RACE
Hillary Clinton has kept a clear lead in the days since the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. The State of the Clinton-Trump Race: ******Is It Over?******
HRC has a 30 point lead in some states. Trump is burning down the Republican house… and the senate… and the Supreme Court… and enjoying the attention. He must be an HRC covert operative.
He has alienated people his whole life.
His only success came from bullying immigrant construction workers.
But now he’s turned on them to appeal to The Angry.
Interesting election strategy.

ISIS is what happens when you invade and occupy someone’s country disbanding their military, leaving the soldiers unemployed and pissed off and ready to organize ISIS against you and your coalition partners. You broke it. You pay for it. Pottery barn 101.
Don’t forget, America paid them not to conduct an insurgency. Obviously, they saved all that money for the rainy day that is now. If Dubya was cofounder, and Cheney the Chief Architect, then BHO & HRC are leading Board Members with BHO as Chairmen of the Board.

Not quite: you’re implying that the US citizenry has been knowingly and willingly complicit in raining death and destruction upon innocent citizens of other nations, not, rather, that special interests have propagandized false motives for commandeering our military as a private mercenary force toward enforcing global corporate ambitions (BTW, in violation of our Constitution). You know, there is such a thing commonly referred to on this site as “deep state”. Oops, I forgot; the US remains predominantly White, so…at least according to you, they can’t be a “victim class”, only evil doers who deserve to be displaced by all other flavors of humans who — contrary to all scholarly evidence — are blemish free (war, slavery, genocide, racism, tendency toward conquest, etc.).
Trust me, nobody believes the swill being fed to us by the corporate media. I read a lot of the on-line financial websites; they have the real news of the sorry state of the U.S. economy. And when I’m not staring at their pie charts and graphs, I’m talking to people at the Scranton PA flea market, where I’m selling my belongings to pay my taxes (and I discover I’m not alone).
There are many people who can barely afford a $1 item and will carefully count out small change or hand me a crumpled dollar they have stashed away. Meanwhile, I live in a rural area that’s supposed to be made richer by fracking (it isn’t unless you’re a farmer with 30 or 50 acres). You should see all the For Sale and For Rent signs out here. It’s also because the Republican legislature refused to put a 1% tax on the frackers. Instead they just added a $2 tax to a pack of cigarettes and every municipality keeps raising the school and property taxes because they are going broke.
This is not confined to my area. A friend in Wisconsin (a lawyer, no less) cannot earn enough to live on and pay her mortgage; her house is in foreclosure. She is hoping to get into charity housing.
These are the reasons both Trump and Sanders pulled in big crowds. Hillary will probably win, nothing will change, and when the next financial implosion occurs (which it will), I’ve got my fingers crossed that the revolution will finally happen. If not, we’d all better find a plot of land far away from the cities just like Kunstler.
We should just make a Supercomputer POTUS. Like Watson. What do we have to lose? Watson sure as hell beats the shit that’s been served up so far. Maybe a mate so there can be a First Lady. Monica? How sweet — Watson & Monica. No last names are necessary.
Scranton? I grew up in that area, or at least the first eleven years of my life. It’s a very different place these days. Depressed. Actually, it was Dallas, Pa. which isn’t too far from Scranton. A lot of weird people, though. Crazy motherfuckers. I remember the snow. It snowed and snowed and snowed when I lived there in the mid to late sixties and early seventies. One Thanksgiving we got over two feet of snow and the drifts were eight to ten feet. It was the best Thanksgiving EVER. Now, it hardly snows there during the winter, or at least not anywhere near like it did during my youth.
If not, we’d all better find a plot of land far away from the cities just like Kunstler.
I already have plans to move in with Jim when and if that happens. Maybe he can name his Spread in upstate New York, Clusterfuck Nation, and we can all move there and become characters in his books. Life imitating art.
How cool would that be? I call dibs on Andrew Pendergast.
Regarding the first two paragraphs of JHK’s article, I’m sure he remembers how Jimmy Carter was destroyed in large part due to honest inflation and unemployment numbers.
Every POTUS Administration after that has gamed the methodology so that the unemployment and inflation numbers will NEVER touch 10%, ever again.
To get the correct unemployment number, all one had to do is find out the percentage of able-bodied adults out of work vs. the workforce participation. That works out to a ***37%*** unemployment rating!!!
If you figure in ONLY those who have real full-time payroll jobs as being truly employed, now you are looking at a 56% unemployment-underemployment rate!
If you’re looking at inflation, we’ve been hovering around 10%, +/- a point or two.
wpa is right. We can lie our way through anything! It’s all good.
Isaiah 28:15 was written specifically for US.
“Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death and with Hell are we at agreement. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us, for we have made lies our refuge and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.
“If you’re looking at inflation, we’ve been hovering around 10%, +/- a point or two.” – JimInFlorida
“Monetary deflation has been underway for years because that’s what happens when debts can’t be repaid: money vanishes. Now we will encounter the other dimensions of deflation: the contraction of manufacturing, trade, wages, and all the familiar markers of expansion in the waning techno-industrial era.” KUNSTLER
Please discuss among yourselves.
MONETARY deflation may be happening but, we have an odd paradox underway. Lower money supply AND price inflation.
Because our credit supply is backed, in part, by performing debt, you are right, the money is vanishing. BUT…, because the underlying “assets” of performing debt has disappeared, we ALSO HAVE a decline in the purchasing power of this currency.
Thus, we have money supply contraction AND inflation at the retail level. It takes a bit of mental gymnastics to grasp how this happens but, it’s not hard. I just explained it.
Is that the final word?
KUNSTLER…got a rebuttal?
Then I declare tonight’s Debate Winner to be JimInFlorida.
Congratulations to our Winner!
Why not ask God? He’s always about in the Quad…
27The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 28The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: 29And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 30Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 31Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 32Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. 33The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: 34So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 35The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 36The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. 37And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
You admit America is botched – so why not try someone new? You admit (I assume) that Muslims are dangerous, so who will keep them out better than Herr Drumpf?
OK, I’ll be cordial:
“You admit (I assume) that Muslims are dangerous,”
DON’T ASSUME THAT YOU KNOW ANY THING ABOUT ME.
“…so who will keep them out better than Herr Drumpf?”
I JUST GOTTA’ BELIEVE THAT YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOUR LANGAGE WILL NOT BE PERSUASIVE WITH ME.

“with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.”
Damn, I think I got some of that….
It’s that time of the year for the hedge fund boys, with their testosterone flowing, to start burning down their house rentals in the Hamptons.
================================
JHK:
What does the above mean? I clicked on the link to the Zero Hedge article, but that was no help.
Do they literally burn down rented houses? Or what?
I’m serious;I really do not get this. Sorry, everyone–I guess I’m just dense, at least about this.
As a Hamptons habitue [accent], I can interpret KUNSTLER’S remarks for you.
The rich guys party, and sometimes, as a display of their wealth, burn the house to exhibit how little such an expense means to them.
Very funny Danny, and probably true.
Last winter I read a few biographies of Hemingway; I was particularly interested in his life in Key West in the thirties. These were the depression years and Key West was particularly hard hit, eventually filing for bankruptcy around 1936. Nevertheless, Hemingway, with his income from Esquire Magazine, his novels, his wife’s trust fund, and his wife’s rich uncle, bought a pretty nice fishing boat (from the Wheeler yards in Brooklyn), had a Ford Roadster, a new Buick every year, went on Safari in Africa, drove to Idaho every winter, and took in the bullfights each season in Spain. My point, as long as the rule of law still holds, if the money is rolling in, in spite of what’s happening around you, you can still live large.
this is not to denigrate Hemingway. He earned every penny he had.
brh
Dear brh,
Your generous complement moved me.
Your generous complement [compliment] moved me.
===============================Corrections like this are what I do best.
My comprehension of this week’s discussion of finance, money, and banking is at about the level of an astrologer attending a graduate-level lecture on astrophysics at MIT.
I did watch a Talking Heads video titled Burning Down the House a few minutes ago. It did not increase my understanding by much.
Stick to your spelling corrections. In fact, get a Big Red Pencil!
Also, derogatory remarks about the Talking Heads “is at about the level of”….Grade School.
So grow up.
It is impossible to imagine a better messenger of opposition to the status quo than Trump. Better that is for the linkedin beneficiaries of the system. The elites riding the waves of global liquidity.
He is so profoundly ignorant of most everything and is such a deeply flawed personality that any opposition to the asset inflation via money ‘printing’ or skepticism about the daily two minuets of Putin hate emanating from the NY Times can be and is deemed a fool and a kook, just like the Donald.
Back in the 50’s and early 60’s the John Birch Society wanted to eliminate the Fed for kooky hard money reasons so to this day ‘liberals’ will brook no criticism of the Fed unless it involves a call for more money printing and more debt. Now as it turns out the Birchers were sort of right but for all the wrong reasons. It was 30 years later that Greenspan and the neoliberal thought collective ushered in the activist Fed. That didn’t have to happen but since ‘liberals’ were always too pure to study money and finance they opted to let the high priests of money at the Fed do it for them.
So there will be no questioning of the coming war with Putin or the tsunamis of money printing that Hillary will launch.
“Suicide bolus” and “Presiding over the smoldering wreckage”.
That’s our James.

“asset inflation via money ‘printing’” – rapier
“Thus, we have money supply contraction” – JimInFlorida
Our second Economics Debate this evening concerns Money: More or Less of It?
Gentlemen, your Opening Remarks, please…
“Kooky hard money reasons” – like not printing endless amounts of money backed by nothing or not linked to any economic standard. I prefer the latter btw understanding. Gold and Silver can be messed with in too many ways. And what if you don’t have any? For all we know, Fort Knox has been looted already. Doesn’t have to be the end but it means the Constitution would have to be amended since it explicitly dictates gold and silver as backers of currency.
You relying on the Constitution?
…good luck with that!
the JBS was right bc it knows about 1 World Government and how
the ‘European’ Bankers [code word for ykw] and the UN collude to bring about communism and tyranny for all.
The Fed is a huge part of this plan.
rapier,
Trump’s campaign has been successful thus far for not following the conventional wisdom. So, with him now behind in the polls, why not throw all his cards on the table and say that, yes, he will end the Cold War 2.0 and become best friends with Putin. He will remove the NATO troops from Russia’s borders, and get out of Ukraine, with sincere apologies Further, he should go on national TV and tell the people that the Cold Wars with Russia/USSR have been lies from the start foisted on us by the Military/Security Complex and our captured corporate media. The time is ripe for a complete break from our post-WWII time of hegemony and Empire. The people have become so disgusted with the dreary status quo that it might just work. Hell, Putin is probably more popular in the US than either Trump or Hillary anyway.
Excellent idea! Does anyone have Paul Manafort’s email?
How about an in-the-blind email to the Maitre’D at Mar A Lago; he could get this message to The Donald.
Be sure to include a post – sorry I’m not going through last weeks comments – that said Trump should make an ad that has Hillary saying “We came, we saw, he died…” over and over and over non-stop until the election. Great idea to include in the message.
“We came, we saw, he died…” over and over and over non-stop until the election. Great idea to include in the message.”
Yes, all the while flashing portions of the Ghadaffi death video….
“Now as it turns out the Birchers were sort of right but for all the wrong reasons.”
Gravity won’t kill you if you jump off a tall building.
Is this “sort of right”, or a “wrong reason”?
Unless something drastic happens, it seems that Hillary, in a gentle glissade, will glide right into the ultimate Grotto.
Her sanguine smile and stretched lips, baring seemingly friendly teeth with a hint of menace, has carried her far. That cavernous grin, that mighty mouth, mother of lies, still looks to swallow us all.
And on the night of November 8th, she will have us. All chewed up and ready to digest.
Re sprawlcapital above;
Maybe churning or turning?
Basically right now it is possible to make a lot of money by publishing a thriller, which will describe the life of a certain lady, and her attempt to take over the world a la “The Garin Death Ray”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garin_Death_Ray
And when a month later the events in this thriller will start to be carried out if not in Washington then in compromising materials that will gush from all the dark corners around the world, a lot of people will buy this infotainment, and advertising on TV will just ran wild.
But unfortunately all these publishers do not earn money, but conduct informational policy.
Russia ‘prevented’ potential NATO launch of 624 cruise missiles in Syria – Defense Minister
Moscow’s actions following the Syrian chemical weapons attack in 2013 could as well have saved the country from a possible massive strike by NATO forces, Sergey Shoigu, Russia’s defense minister, said.
It would’ve been “very hard” to restore the Syrian state structure after such a large-scale attack, he said.
https://www.rt.com/news/356054-russia-nato-strike-syria/
Fortunately, for Washington, Bashar Assad is a mild-mannered President and Alawite who fears taking military action. He just lets Israel attack Syria and then runs crying to the U.N. rather than fight back. He ordered his forces into action against the FSA and Daesh only because Russia finally showed up to motivate him.
If Assad were a batshit crazy Sunni Muslim, at the first sign of U.S. hostility, he would have launched everything he had at Israel. Win or lose, he would die a martyr. Washington would be blamed for instigating it and Syria’s image in the Middle East would be sky high.
Yet, Bashar Assad is the twice-elected popular President that Big Oil and the Saudis want OUT. They will turn Syria into a fractured hellhole, full of Wahhabi warlords, if that’s what it takes to get their oil and gas pipelines through Syria and onwards to the E.U. market.
Obama’s undeserved Nobel Prize should be stripped from him and given to Putin.
Then Putin would have to give him his horse in-trade.
…and then, how would he get around?
“GET THAT WHITE BITCH”
Quote heard from Milwaukee riots … black mobs on the hunt for white motorists, dragging them from automobiles for beatdowns, or worse.
A few media types got their asses kicked, too. “Fellas, I’m on your side”, didn’t work this time. I’m really broken up over it.
US finances falling apart? LeBron James just got a $100 million contract from the Cavaliers, and I just read all Ohio State’s home football games are sold out for the 2016 season. That’s 100,000 fans per game!
That might be an indication there’s still plenty of excess swag floating around inside the United States.

life during wartime
I’ve figured out the next debt adjusting scheme between Washington and Beijing: … Chinese Red Army battalions and brigades for hire as an extralegal municipal security forces! Somebody, somehow, will find the legal loophole to allow that. In the thousands of pages of Bush and Obama Police State rules and regulations, I’m sure it can be found.
A city is overrun by crazed Black mobs and the regular cops’ hands are tied. Give it 1-2 hours and the rented Chinese Red Army security would have things locked down, the survivors put to work cleaning up the mess (and the bodies), and the disturbed areas put on a strict curfew schedule.
Now THAT is where ‘Made In China’ would redeem itself!
As for LeBron James and others of his ilk, a 95% top tax rate on that kind of income would do wonders to relieve the extortionate student load debts of most Ohio State grads!
“there’s still plenty of excess swag floating around inside the United States.” –brh
Yep. Thanks for the stats, brh. 100,000 per game, sold out all season. Seems the economy is not so bad after all.
We are definitely better after eight years of Obama than we were in the crash of 2007 after eight years of Bush, when we were losing 800,000 jobs per month and 20 million people did not have health insurance and were at risk of medical bankruptcy.
US finances falling apart? [yes]

“The black POTUS plays golf during the Milwaukee race riots.” –Pucker
Trump says he is the founder of ISIS, so ISIS may be keeping him busy, or maybe he is busy releasing Guantanamo detainees. Are you sure the golf story is not a false flag operation to distract from his terrorist activities? /s
“Forty acres and a mule”….post civil war concept for reparations to former slaves How things change. I remember that phrase from my American history class in high school and who would have thunk it would sound like heaven to me now.

Lol.
There’s a theory of propaganda that holds that ideas , perspectives, and contexts, can and do behave like viruses.
So, for example , assuming all these Coca Cola commercials are dumb because they don’t have a snowballs chance n Hell of convincing You to drink Coke instead of Pepsi, or you don’t even like soda anyway , is YOU looking at it the wrong way.
It could be the intent was never to convince YOU of anything, persuade YOU .
It could be that no more thought was given to YOU than is given to YOU when he coughs or sneezes.
” Get a life” ?
Pfffffffffft !
If you folks are pissed because , like High Schoolers, you are peeved because Janos won’t wear your uniform and parrot your canned narrative , then perhaps you should say that.
You might actually get some action that way.
if, on the other hand, as you folks claim, you don’t have a crush on Janos , then all your high school peer pressure faux ridicule directed at someone who isn’t answering the phone anyway and doesn’t care to , is very amusing at your expense. ^-^
All of us here at CFN should know exactly just which type of uniform Janos would like to wear.
When I gotta ‘pass water’, I gotta pass water if he’s in the way.

period after come. My purple pluperfect prose often gets the better of me grammy.
“Danny is innocent in contrast…you’ll see he’s just like me.”
TAKE THAT CURSE BACK
Trump can be batshit crazy, but its the visceral anger that Clintilla evokes ( in me) that’s way way stronger than the anger I had in Chicago during the Democratic convention in the summer of 1968 as a twenty year old “radical”. It’s personal.
I’m reminded of an incident a few months back ; A homosexual, and a stalwart Republican, was asked how he could possibly stand hanging out with a bunch of Bible-thumping fascistic bigots?
And he replied that he would rather hang out with people who told him to his face that they disliked him, rather than hang out with people who claimed to love him , but in reality despised him no less, or even more, but in either case did not even merely respect him.
And I said to myself, That describes me !
What I have seen so much of “liberalism ” the past 40 years is endless talk about love, and concern, fairness and dignity.
But I see no love in their eyes, no concern in their voice, nothing in their behavior remotely resembling fairness ,
and not even the dignity and respect imparted by admitting you wouldn’t invite the other to dinner.
The facts are neither here no there , because it is clear they don’t feel anything they claim, no sincerity, even if it is true.
The problem isn’t the script . Even a really bad script can be made into gold if the actors are enthusiastic.
But these indifferent actors would make garbage even of Shakespeare.
“But I see no love in their eyes, no concern in their voice, nothing in their behavior remotely resembling fairness, and not even the dignity and respect imparted by admitting you wouldn’t invite the other to dinner.” –KesaAnna
I don’t care one bit about all that romantic bullshit. What I care about is which party is more likely to change national minimum wage to $21 an hour, or more of a living wage.
Elections and political parties are not about getting people to have “love in their eyes, or concern in their voice” … they are about getting public policy changed to get basic human needs met: universal health care, debt-free education, expanded social security, paid family leave, etc.
If food service workers in Denmark can have full benefits (health care, pension, etc.) plus a $21 an hour salary, we can do the same in the USA. But a political party will have to force it to happen. Don’t vote for the political party that whines and makes excuses and tells you that will ruin the economy. Vote for the party most likely to make the lives of working people better.
Kesa makes a good point, but hanging out with people who don’t like you could be a real problem.
“Vote for the party most likely to make the lives of working people better”. Like Obama’s Democratic Party?
Here’s his economic record for his own people, yes, blacks, his own people:
the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate for blacks across the board is down.
home ownership among blacks is down.
% of black food stamp participants is up a staggering 58%.
real median income is down.
the % of blacks struggling below the poverty line is up.
No romantic bullshit here. Even Tavis Smiley criticizes his failed policies. But this diddy boppin’ jive ass could give 150 billion to the Iranians! Then $400 million more!
And it’s still very much in doubt what the over all effect of a minimum wage at those levels would be. The Democrats would make it $50/hr. if it would get them elected.
Hey, but I know that I’ve been taken care of. Obama love whitey.
“…about getting public policy changed to get basic human needs met:…”
The way to get “basic human needs” met is through [ need I say personal ] gumption, not asking someone [ because you are too much coward to do it yourself ] to steal from others to provide them for you, after taking a cut for themselves..
” I don’t care one bit about all that romantic bullshit. ”
— Neither do I. Indeed, in my estimation I’m rather cold-hearted.
I could just as well have written the same about ” Conservatism”.
They wave the flag and say they love America. Since America is largely a bureaucratic abstraction, I suppose then they mean they love Americans ?
But then, for example, regarding our criminal justice nightmare which makes North Korea look moderate , ( even with North Korea’s practice of sending the entire family to a camp for the crime of one of its members , an American STILL has a higher chance of winding up in a cage than does a North Korean )
Their reaction even now is to make jokes about child molesters getting raped and murdered in jail. — Except child molesters are a mask . They are really laughing about jaywalkers getting raped and murdered in jail.
There is nothing “conservative” about it, and I wouldn’t give a jar of piss for their love.
” Elections and political parties are not about getting people to have “love in their eyes, or concern in their voice” … they are about getting public policy changed to get basic human needs met: ”
— sounds like romantic bullshit to me , or empty dishonesty.
Since I don’t know you, I can’t say which.
For example ;
” If food service workers in Denmark can have full benefits (health care, pension, etc.) plus a $21 an hour salary, we can do the same in the USA. ”
Comparing elephants to hummingbirds , that is comparing this continent – spanning empire to the much-esteemed Scandinavian countries. Sweden is roughly the size of one state, Tennessee ? As for Denmark, it is not too much of an exaggeration to say that you can easily WALK from the farthest reach of that kingdom to its seat of government .
No, any proper comparison must be based on something that is actually comparable to the elephant. Russia, China, or Brazil for example.
A not-particularly-bright 12-year old can figure out why nobody really wants to make such comparisons , and it has nothing to do with basic human needs.
No, lets compare it to countries the size of a suburban lawn , not to million-acre plantations.
So the USA is pissing on the little guy ?
What did , and do, you expect?
This USA thing began with the dispossession of little people.
One of the major beefs in the lead up to the divorce from the King of England ( rarely mentioned anymore ) was the Proclamation of 1768 ; that is, the King announced he would not screw-over ( at least not completely ) the natives west of the Appalachian mountains, or the native French Catholics of Canada.
We all know what happened to the Aboriginal natives west of the Appalachians after the divorce was effected, and as for the French Catholics of Canada, they luckily played Finland to The USA’s Russia . That is, surprisingly, they kicked our butt twice. If not for that, there is no doubt that today they would be living in some ugly swamp in Florida and practicing this odd religion where it is claimed God is an American Jingoist.
Then came the dispossession of Loyalist little old ladies who had the cheek to publicly say, ” God save the King ” despite the terroristic pressure of types like the Al Capone – like rum runner John Hancock and his Frank Nitti – like hatchet men like Samuel Adams.
Then came the , at least attempted , dispossession of Southern Crackers who naively thought the union was a voluntary association for mutual benefit. . I say attempted, because while the US Army did win the war, largely the peace was won by the KKK , and dare I say , rightly so ;
You think you will engender respect for human rights by shooting a mothers husband, brother , or son , for simply wanting to leave your company ?
you expect to accomplish good with scorched earth ?
Romantic bullshit says I.
— Not to mention the former slaves, really still slaves, ( that is the cheap labor we imported . Ring any bells that ? ) got screwed anyway because the Unionists never really cared about them anyway.
So now the little natives are getting screwed, and the imported cheap labor likewise ?
That’s very old news.
Oh, a halfway decent society WAS built in America for awhile.
— Despite its origins, despite its government.
I suspect the Roman Republic was a halfway decent place for awhile.
And I admit that lots of room to play Jerimiah Johnson , and cheap energy, worked miracles for awhile.
Excellent.
“Their reaction even now is to make jokes about child molesters getting raped and murdered in jail. — Except child molesters are a mask . They are really laughing about jaywalkers getting raped and murdered in jail.”
There is no justification for “jail” except as a temporary place awaiting trial. Man’s so-called justice is based on punishment and revenue enhancement. God’s is based on restoration to the lawful order. People that are being paid to administer justice are tainted with job security concerns.
Your comment is gold, dear lady. Thus the “Feminists” say nothing about the Muslim rape of White Women because they don’t care about Women. It’s all a cover for being Anti-White Male. After all, they are Marxists and admit as much. And Marxism is about overthrowing Societies, in this case, ours. Of course they care intensely about their own little cliques and do help each other and/or make love/war on each other much as Afghan commanders have tank battles over dancing boys. I guess this can pass as “loving women” and thus is Feminism of a kind.
Check out this talking Death’s Head. She dropped a dime on a man who was trying to distract the Munich terrorist with insults. Moral self righteousness becomes mental illness becomes sin. And being a traitor is one of the worst. Their place in on one of the lowest tiers of Hell, nigh unto Satan himself. It’s a place of great cold not heat….

Speaking for myself, you can fit my knowledge of economics, macro or micro, into a salt shaker. My theory of economics is … if after the bills are paid there’s enough cash left over ice and beer for the cooler, a day at the river, and more ice to put the trout into (if I catch any), maybe a sandwich and beer at the general store on the way home … then things are good. If not, things are bad.

The Entire Truth of Economics lies in: “My theory of economics is … if after the bills are paid there’s enough cash left over ice and beer for the cooler, a day at the river, and more ice to put the trout into (if I catch any), maybe a sandwich and beer at the general store on the way home … then things are good. If not, things are bad.”
Everything else is the Bullshit that Wall Street funded Economics & Finance Departments at our ggggggggggggggreat universities spew on their behalf.
I can recommend a book that lifts the veil on the whole shitshow.
“I can recommend a book”
Please do so.

Thanks, ordered a copy.
You admit then, that the Fed is a private consortium of banks? “European” (Rothschild) for the most part? And thus utterly unconstitutional?
A WORLD AT WAR
We are under attack
by Bill McKibben
https://newrepublic.com/article/135684/declare-war-climate-change-mobilize-wwii
We would be better served with this information:
http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/chuck-norris-a-government-cover-up-of-epic-proportions/
Even within the vast wasteland of idiocratic mendacity that constitutes the Establishment Media, the New Republic stands out for its grand buffoonery.
McKibbon is a good example. Climate change is a real issue, but McKibbon is an ignorant boob on the matter.
Bill is in favor of mass immigration. Nothing he says has any value since he is for sale and without honor.
“I work for McDonald’s and I make $21 an hour,” Rantzau wrote.
“An agreement between our union and the company guarantees that workers older than 18 are paid at least $21 an hour. Employees younger than 18 make at least $15.” The company paid the mathematically average full-time worker about $46,700 a year.
A copy of the latest McDonald’s union contract shows the lowest hourly rate is 115 DKK, or $20.70. Anyone who works after 6 p.m. or on Sundays is paid more.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American fast food worker makes about $9 an hour. Compare that to the $20.70 paid in Denmark.
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the average tax burden in Denmark is 38.2 percent, while in America, it is 31.3 percent. So taxes are about a fifth higher. Most people, if given the choice, would accept a 20 percent hike in taxes in exchange for making twice as much.
And how much do a Big Mac and a Happy Meal cost there, wpa?
In Denmark, a Big Mac and Happy Meal costs what they are worth in a true 1st World country. The U.S. is a 3rd World country with 1st World credit to cover up the truth.
Fortunately for Denmark, they do not worship the blood-stained idol of, “Always Low Prices.”
So how is it that Europeans are better off?
1). Let Uncle Sam pay for your national defense.
2). Don’t flood your country with illegal aliens requiring massive public expenditures for such things as K-12 education.
3). Don’t waste vast amounts of money on idiocracy like progressive Americans love to do.
TRUMP CITIZENSHIP CHALLENGE
In a foreign policy speech Monday, Trump said people should take a test before being allowed to immigrate to the United States.
“In the Cold War, we had an ideological screening test,” Trump said to a crowd in Youngstown, Ohio. “The time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today. I call it extreme vetting.”
In a statement Monday morning, Reid called on Trump to take “the one test every immigrant has to pass to become a United States citizen.”
“He would almost certainly fail, given his general ignorance and weak grasp of basic facts about American history, principles and functioning of our government,” Reid said. “The fact is, Donald Trump is nothing more than a spoiled, unpatriotic drain on society who has earned nothing and helped no one.”
In the statement, Reid talked about his experiences attending naturalization ceremonies with immigrants who “work hard to learn American history and civics, while Trump appears ignorant of basic facts about this country.”
“Indeed, the naturalization test is just one part of the process immigrants undergo to become citizens, but Trump would almost certainly fail that test,” Reid said. “Immigrants make America great. Trump makes America small, petty and mean.”
And you (whatever you are, a glockenspiel – er, glockenspeak for the Lerftist “Imagine” fantasy) have advocated what essentially is absolute dissolution of sovereign nationhood. Knowingly you do this as evidenced by how selectively you are able (seemingly mechanically) to lift from the record of history “facts” in such way as to empty them of contextual meaning. Its a travesty of scholarship — the worst form of pedantry; mocking of historical record by turning it into anecdote for the trite purpose of supporting your neurotic, racist rants.
Well, Harry Reid doesn’t waste a chance to prove what an idiot he is.
Sort of like Donald Trump on steroids.
Ah , a test on American history and civics ! 🙂
George Washington — it’s hard to imagine a guy who was given greater advantages or more privileges by the British empire.
He was commissioned as a colonel in the British army , which means to enjoy that status, those privileges and advantages, means he swore a loyalty oath to the King of England.
Ditto taking his seat in the Virginia House of Burgesses , another loyalty oath.
If he wasn’t the worst kind of traitor, or at least an example of the grossest kind of ingratitude, then I have no idea what words like traitor and ingratitude could possibly mean.
Benjamin Franklin — In his capacity as a public official, supposedly working for the crown, essentially rifled through the panty drawer of a political opponent and stole his private letters, and had these incriminating letters, proof of the opponents hostility toward America, printed in newspapers. Except they didn’t actually print the letters in newspapers. There was actually nothing incriminating in the letters.
And rather than proving hostility to America , proved a deep fondness for it. If anything the actual letters were dull and boring.
So they wrote their own letters out of whole cloth and passed them off as this guys . The victim of this character assassination, Thomas Hutchinson, a third generation American, was subsequently forced to leave the only home he had ever known, when past 60 years of age, and lived out his remaining years in penury, on the charity of others , proven guilty of……nothing.
Not to mention that Benjamin Franklin would screw anything with a heart beat, but why get personal ? The bare facts of his destruction of Thomas Hutchinson should demonstrate to any fair person exactly what sort of creature Franklin was.
Abraham Lincoln — a great humanitarian and egalitarian who could write pretty , like Vladimir Lenin.
And , like Lenin, oh, if only he had lived ! The outcome of the American Civil war would have been kinder and gentler, like the outcome of the Russian civil war would have been kinder and gentler if Lenin had lived !
World War II — The Nazi Party was politically so weak that even as late as 1943 they were producing more refrigerators than tanks because Hitler feared losing the support of German soccer moms.
But never mind, Hitler was some sort of God ( never mind strong evidence that even if he won he didn’t have long to live. As early as spring of ’44 he was all but an invalid. ) and the Nazis really were Aryan Supermen. So that problem HAD to be solved.
The outcome was that a good chunk of Europe and Asia , many, maybe most , of these people being non-white by the way, were delivered into the tender mercies of comrades Stalin and Mao .
This is called victory , and proves the wisdom of American foreign and domestic policy, and shows how liberal it is.
Elections — The fourth largest country in the world, and yet only two viable political parties for over 100 years.
I Like Ayn Rand’s comment on that ; ” we had free elections in the Soviet Union too . ”
Pfft, I’m pretty sure I would ” flunk” such a ( kooky religious ) test.
Not that that would break my heart . My birth certificate says I’m a Canadian . Despite registering for selective service 20 years ago and paying taxes for 40+ years, the only way I can get a drivers license , and prove I’m not a North Korean spy, is give FALSE answers on a bullshit test and spend a few thousand bucks besides , to buy one.
Perhaps eventually they will deport me . I suppose then some American patriot can volunteer to play unpaid nurse, gardener, and maid to my elderly American parents.
Except for ten years past now no such person has volunteered to do so , so this enemy of yours can be released from the job of serving two of your citizens.
that’s American patriotism and family values for you. ^ – ^
“Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, Dear Napoleon!
Happy Birthday to you!” (August 15th)
Is Hillary a knave, or a simple soul?
Mirriam-Webster defines a knave as “a playing card that ranks below a queen and above a 10.”
I don’t even think she’sa “10”, I reserve that for Bo Derek.
Maybe she “ranks below a quess”, but has big aspirations.
So you want more Muslims in America? Why? I’m not assuming, I’m axing. And axing for an explanation.
It hasn’t worked out for your people in France. Bibi has advised them to get out. Yet some Jews apparently hate us more than they love themselves….
Are you on a Thread about Hillary Clinton?
you obsessively write about Muslims and Jews. Quit jerkin so much.
Then why are you talking about finance? It’s about whatever we want to talk about. Think like a free man, willya?
“Then why are you talking about finance?”
BECAUSE THAT’S A TOPIC CHOSEN BY OUR HOST FOR DISCUSSION.
” It’s about whatever we want to talk about.”
JANOS THAT IS HIJACKING KUNSTLER’S BLOG FOR YOUR OWN RAMBLING. HAVE SOME MANNERS!
“Think like a free man, willya?”
RAMBLING LIKE A CONFUSED PERSON IS NOT BEING FREE. IT IS BEING NUTS. IN PUBLIC.
A FREE MAN RESPECTS HIS HOST.
If the thread was about finance, they why are you talking about Hillary?
Only the Fascist can match these devils stroke for stroke.
The fecklessness and stupidity of the elites has been epic, sacrificing everything to maintain the illusion of normality.
==============================
No problem for me in getting the meaning of that sentence.
And kudos to JHK for using a real word, normality, instead of the lazy neologism “normalcy”. The latter was popularized by one of our lesser presidents, Warren Harding.
Similarly, another lesser president, Bill Clinton, popularized the misuse of the word “grow” as a transitive verb with inanimate objects that do not actually grow organically. A farmer grows corn, but Clinton got elected in ’92 by promising the masses that he would “grow the economy”. (His Eminence should have said “build the economy”.)
This misuse of “grow” will be the subject of a more detailed essay, the Universe willing. Stay tuned
“This misuse of “[His Eminence]” will be the subject of a more detailed essay, the Universe willing. Stay tuned…”
English is alive and useful new forms are appearing. Thus the Clintons have disappeared people. How could any conventional phrasing say it better?
We need a collective 2nd person, though. Y’all is far too benign for my hate filled philippics. So I often just say “You” which isn’t fair to the you in question. But it’s fine if they are a sterling example of the mass in question. Also when haranguing my audience, the you gets each of them to examine their own conscience, at least hopefully. So “you” isn’t out – I just want to add to my repertoire.
I agree that the recent usage of disappear as a verb that can take a direct object (transitive verb) is useful.
In the allegations against the Clintons, though, the dead bodies have all been found, so the victims have not been “disappeared”, unless there are some facts I am not aware of.
“Is there an attorney anywhere in the United States who, along with a good PR agency, would like to file a billion-dollar suit against the Florida Health Department and the CDC and the FDA? There are plenty of potential plaintiffs in Miami right now.”

I wanna know.
I’d rather see the major media outlets sued for spreading agit-prop to scare the Sheep into taking toxic immunization shots and stoking abnormal mass behavior.
This is the same fake scare as the Bird Flu and Swine Flu. All B.S. I haven’t taken a flu shot since 1996 and I’m healthier than most, by far! The best prevention for infections and sickness is to maintain the body’s own defenses and to live a clean life.
If there are any contagions, the carriers are FILTHY 3rd Worlders who come here, whether they are here legally or not.
JimInFlorida, you can have whatever personal attitude about vaccines you want. Your invective makes it clear that you find vaccines disgusting and I suspect that is your primary motivation. You don’t have a reasoned position — your rhetoric follows on the primary fact of your feeling of disgust.
The fact is, vaccines work and are responsible for enormous public-health victories. From now until doomsday, no child will ever again be killed or permanently scarred by smallpox. We are within a hairsbreadth of eradicating polio as well. All of human posterity from now until the end of time owes an enormous debt to the inventors of vaccines and those who employ them conscientiously.
If you refuse vaccination for the flu or whatever else, that’s your decision, but you and others like you are parasites on responsible people.
Sharonsj, good for you, you SHOULD believe yer lyin’ eyes. And ears.
Because, notwithstanding all the superior talk about – cough – “facts and evidence” and about 5% unemployment and “growth”, it is swill, like you say. Pure b.s.
No matter, the people (liberal Democrats) who are supposedly on the side of the people, look lengthwise and sideways for excuses. They make up all kinds of amazingly stupid shit.
They say, just like Eleonor Clift did on this week’s McLaughlin Group TV panel discussion, that off-shoring is the scapegoat for what’s going on in the economy. What’s going on? Oh, you know, mechanization, essentially what’s been going on for more than 200 years.
Now, Eleonor thinks she’s really clever. She sneers and chuckles scornfully. She’s way, way smarter than you ‘n’ me. She touts “data”. And ooh, look out, she went to college.
The problem is that the Eleonors of the world, and the statistical propagandists that people like Eleonor quote, forget that you have eyes and ears and so have I.
Off-shoring isn’t a scapegoat. For one thing, mechanization PRODUCES jobs domestically provided it’s done ON-shore. This is because you need people to build and service machines be they mud movers or robots or computers. I’ve seen it and I imagine that you have too. If it’s done this way, life gets easier just like it was up to about the mid 1970s. But, since then, just like all sorts of manufacturing, those jobs were moved off-shore.
And those millions of jobs in manufacturing in China and Mexico and other places would not have arisen over there were it not for American Oligarchs moving American industries to take advantage of buck an hour wages. Those jobs were formerly done by you and your neighbors. You’ve seen it. So have I. Easy enough to miss it the first ten thousand times a factory got moved overseas. But I’m sure you didn’t miss it the last fifty thousand times. “Scapegoat” my ass.
On top of this, the bi-coastal intelligentsia piss all over hard-up people like in your neck of the woods for being un-educated and xenophobic and lazy. They say that your situation is YOUR fault.
Democrats are not on your side. They are just one side of the bought-and-paid-for DemoRepublicrat Party. Hillary and Bill make no bones about it. They took tens of millions for themselves for, um, “speaking” fees (and if this isn’t corruption then please find me a better word). They work every day against you. They want your money. Do you have a dollar in your pocket? No Sharon, that’s not for you, hand it over to them, you’re not worthy.
Machines put people out of work. That’s the point. Capitalism doesn’t serve humanity but only the owners. The Luddites were fucking Heroes. HEROES. They weren’t anti-machine. They simply said, sell or rent us the machines and we’ll make your clothes as we always have. Nothing doing: they were crushed – imprisoned and killed.
Capitalism is Anti-human. If machines can do things better and cheaper, all humans will be replaced. And then kept alive to live like the Jetsons? Or gotten rid of as useless eaters and users of resources? Consult the Georgia Guidestones for your answer.
An excellent post otherwise.
Glad I went back up to browse through old comments!
[APPLAUSE] I though I was the only one who sees how our worship of High-Tech has destroyed us and thrown people out of work! The more we worship at that bloody altar, the more we are required to sacrifice to it.
We have far too much technology chasing too many tasks that are better left to organic human-scaled technology. I know the argument always is, “Things would be too expensive if they were done with actual workers and in the U.S.”
How does one explain the superior macro-social development of 1950’s America where Americans did a LOT of work and a Man was able to support his family on his paycheck?
The problem is that JEWS and the Top 1% are taking FAR TOO MUCH and THAT is why Corporations and banks are constantly chasing newer and higher profits, even though it has destroyed us. We have a Top 1% that needs to have its ill-gotten gain from Reaganomics (and Thatcherism) torn out of their hands and the economy reindustrialized to where we can produce much of what we consume.
Yes, what used to be a $2.00 screwdriver will then cost $10.00 but, that will reflect the TRUE COST of producing a screwdriver in a true 1st World economy. As the wealth is redistributed back to Labor, both producer and maintainer, the cost of that screwdriver won’t be a problem because wages will actually reflect increased PURCHASING POWER. Thus, to purchase a quality American-made screwdriver for $10.00 will not be a burden.
The only losers will the the Top 1% who won’t have the excess money to buy political access!
Why West for at least 1000 years wants a war with Russia?
I don’t think it is all about resources. Actually, not at all.
I have only one answer: West wars with Russia to destroy hostile ideology.
For the Russian motto: Strength in Truth, not in Wealth
For the ability to fight to the death for a just cause and never quit, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem.
For the forgiveness of enemies, and for being the first to extend a hand.
That is the main reason why West wars with Russia for centuries, using the same technology, and ALWAYS with the same outcome.
As Klyuchevskii once said, “the History is not a Teacher, but a Punisher. History teaches nothing, but severely punishes for lessons not learned.”
From the history lessons I personally know that the Russians took Berlin twice – in 1760 and in 1945, and from the literature classes I know that “God loves a trinity”.
See you in Berlin. After Constantinople…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQrKZcYtqg&feature=youtu.be&t=30
No one’s thinking about a war with Russia, because no one cares about Russia.
“For the ability to fight to the death for a just cause and never quit, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem.
Finc,
Vaslov? 2 Million Russian prisoners?
“For the forgiveness of enemies, and for being the first to extend a hand.”
Yes, they “forgave the Hell” out of the captured 6th army…what was the survival rate…15%? I had a friend, now dead, that was captured by the “forgiving” Russians and spent several years in the Kolyma….
Oh, and Russia never forgave Rudolph Hess…rotted in Spandau prison.
This is not necessarily an indictment of Russian harshness, just the reality….
FYI, it is general Vlasov, not Vaslov.
And I was speaking about forgiving the enemies, not traitors.
Heh he it won’t be a “TILT” message written across the sky it will be a “TRUMP” message. Probably including an 800 number to sign up for a casino or golf course trip.
Most of us remember the lines from the movie Field of Dreams:
Is this Heaven?
No, it’s Iowa.
I’ve been picking green beans in our backyard garden, and the perfect weather, the soil that’s beyond fertile (it’s positively fecund), the bounty of the harvest have combined to made it a heaven right here in good old Iowa.
I’m picking a variety of bean called Roma II, an Italian-type flat bean. These are my wife’ favorite, so they’re the priority for picking and freezing.
The main crop is called Provider, and it lives up to its name. It’s a larger, more vigorous plant than Roma, and the crop is prodigious, simply amazing.
As I’ve note before the garden is chemical-free, compost-fed. and rainfall watered. The beans are mostly without blemish, despite no bug killing chemicals. There are some holes in the leaves from insect damage, but the yield is not noticeably reduced.
Early in the season the bean leaves are pale green, but as the weeks go by the newly formed leaves are a beautiful dark green, almost blue.
The bean seeds are from an excellent co-op in Maine called Fedco. They test for germination, and the test results are printed on each packet.
As I pick, I also pull weeds. The ample rain we have had makes the weed roots loose in the ground; the poor plants give up their feeble hold on Mother earth without much struggle.
My large garden is a square about 20 ft. on a side, so the crops are packed together. As I pick beans, I reach over and pick a ripe, red tomato. Delicious right off the vine! (I have a second, smaller garden, 10 x 16 ft. for collards and carrots. (Earlier in the season it grows lettuce.)
So, food production in Iowa for survivors of a collapse of civilization should not be a problem. The challenge will be defending our bounty from roving bands of hungry hedge fund managers,
. . . to made [make] it a heaven . . .
. . . my wife’ [wife’s] favorite . . .
==================================
I forgot to mention the wonderful fragrances in the garden from the moist soil, the weeds, and the crop plants, especially the tomato vines. Heaven.
There are certain fast growing hedges you can use. Grow them over a metal fence. Since barb wire is illegal under six feet, cut branches of the hedge itself into points. Inside your enclosure? Rhodesian Ridgebacks, a Christ like dog that is willing to die for its flock – or you.
Any minorities yet? Or is Heaven still heaven. Vermont has a few and the “good” Liberals are quietly amazed at how much of the crime they commit. Their reaction? Bring in more. As the exquisite KesaAnna said, there is simply no relation between their inner and outer selves. Perfect hypocrisy.
If ((( ))) are 10 million and if world population is 7 billion, thats
1/700 th of total.
Amazing how powerful this ‘oppressed’ minority is.
Glickman, president and CEO of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society and formerly a spokesman for the U.S. Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, was quoted here
on VDARE.com in 2003 as saying:
“The more diverse American society is the safer [Jews] are.” [Community
Questioning `Open Door`, by Nacha Cattan, Jewish Daily Forward, November 29, 2002.]
This seems to be the same idea that Earl Raab expressed, the first time the Census reported that whites would become a minority in America:
1965 Celler-Hart Immigration Act:
We have tipped beyond the point where a Nazi-Aryan party will be able to prevail in this country.
We [Jews] have been nourishing the American climate of opposition to bigotry for about half a century. That climate has not yet been perfected, but the heterogeneous nature of our population tends to make it irreversible—and makes our constitutional constraints against bigotry more practical than ever.”
[Earl Raab, San Francisco Jewish Bulletin, July
23, 1993]
Emanuel Celler, a Jewish Congressman from Brooklyn, made his first ever speech in the
House of Representatives against the massively popular and extremely necessary Johnson act of 1924. Celler, who served in the House for over 49 years, was able to reverse
this success with the Hart-Celler Act, which was to become the Immigration Act Of 1965. His biography in the Jewish Virtual Library makes it clear that he opposed immigration restriction and endorsed mass immigration for ethnic reasons.
As the JVL puts it
Today, nearly 75 percent of American Jews descend from immigrants from Eastern Europe. In this season in which we celebrate the ancient Hebrews` exodus to freedom, it is fitting to recall
Emanuel Celler`s efforts to make America a promised land for Jewish immigrants, and for all victims of persecution.

Howdy Vlad, You mentioned the H. Angels up a few comments, Send ’em by, I would love to talk bikes with them. . Do you actually know any? I do. They are not as badass as people think , at least not in these parts. Most of them are normal dudes. I have big bikes also. I am a car and motorcycle person.
USE TAXIS MUCH?
Mostly joking. But I heard that Bikers hate Japanese bikes with a passion. Not true?
Janos,
1% er’s view foreign bikes, other than BMW’s with contempt, as they do their riders.
Sonny Barger, in the last of his two books, stated “that if he knew then (60’s) what he knows now, the Angels would be riding Hondas…” (paraphrased). He ended up in Arizona running a motorcycle repair shop…died a number of years back.
Janos,
Owned a Rhodesian…great dog…raised him from a puppy. Interesting story. My son had a place in the hills outside Grants pass and had two dogs, a large German Shepherd, named “Sarge”, and the Rhodesian, named “Nasty”. Sarge came across a mountain lion a few hundred yards from the house, and was getting his ass beat…Nasty charged into the fray, Sarge bolted for the house, leaving Nasty to fight the lion alone…. Nasty was torn up a bit but survived the incident. I also saw him stare down a bear once, also near the house. Great dog, died at 14 years…old age for a dog of his size.
Rhodesians are beautiful dogs. “Nasty” was a heroic dog.
I have a 3-pound teacup Maltese named “Lola.” She’s a sweet, tiny ball of white fluff. All I can say is that in a dire emergency she would bark like crazy–especially at any man wearing a hat. Also, if there was a food shortage, she doesn’t eat much at all–3 oz. per day.
Jen in San Jose
I love Ridgebacks! I was always a G Shepard man myself. How’d the Catamount make out? I bet he had a few scars as well!
The Mass EPA says Mountain Lions are extinct in MA. I have seen one and so have many of my friends. I think they hide the truth so as not to scare people. My buddie has a trail cam pic of a Timber Wolf, yellow eyes and all. They are also in MA.
Saint,
The battle was conducted in heavy brush, the cat got away… Nasty’s real name was Nosferatu…Nasty for short.
I, too, have seen wolves near the Oregon coast, where I currently reside.
“The challenge will be defending our bounty from roving bands of hungry hedge fund managers.” –Sprawlcapital
They may be armed with pencils or pens or ipads, but they can be reasoned with. Chances are they will never find their way from the coasts to Iowa. Don’t worry about them. And don’t shoot them. Nothing ruins harvesting that ripe tomato from your garden like the rotting smell of hedge fund manager corpses.
You don’t get it, wpa. Hedge fund hyenas (and billionaires) need to be distributed evenly in a field that’s been fallow for a couple of years.
First, bring out the bulldozer and roller chopper (pasture aerator) and crush them into the dirt, along with the vegetation.
Then hook up a stout 5-bottom-16 moldboard plow (five plows 16″ deep) to turn and mix the hedge fund hyena corpses into the soil.
Prepare the soil for planting by discing the field until it is nice and even. The hedge fund hyenas make magnificent fertilizer for GMO crops.
They may be armed with pencils or pens or ipads, but they can be reasoned with. Chances are they will never find their way from the coasts to Iowa.
============================
Yes, wpa. I hope all that is true.
In writing about my garden, I was intending to convey the peace and beauty to be found there. I included the part about roving bands of hedge fund managers only to touch on the topic of JHK’s post this week.
http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Politics-And-Diplomacy/Hacked-Soros-e-mails-reveal-plans-to-fight-Israels-racist-policies-464149
Donald Trump saves his resources and means and this proves that he is running for a long distance and, despite his awareness of the overwhelming opponent advantage in the field of administrative resources (which she obtained illegally by seizing power over the Institution of US Presidency), intends to seriously compete for the White House and his program, which was developed by the leading American scientists and industrialists, who are confident that the United States has national interests that are different from the interests of NATO.
Especially as NATO in combination with EU seems to imagine itself a kind of Super-state, which all must obey, including the United States, and Hillary Clinton seems to imagined herself a Prophet of that State and is racing to the White House not in order to observe the national interests of the USA, but the interests of that quasi State.
And it has been already understood by a lot of Americans, which paradoxically highlights the election campaign relationship with Russia, as the only country capable of resisting NATO if the US will remain a part of this organization and make it a dangerous nonsense, if the United States in accordance with Trump’s words will put a question mark next to their obligations under NATO.
The latter fact can be decisive and transform the presidential campaign into the vote on the Third World War, especially after the New York Times found in the so-called “ledger” of Party of Regions in Ukraine a record of unregistered cash payments in the amount of $12.7 million in the period from 2007 to 2012 to Paul Manafort – the head of the Trump election campaign. Thus Clintonites true to their tactics of doubling down after a loss in the US, have added to the threat of civil war in US a threat of starting World War III in Ukraine, if Hillary Clinton becomes president.
In this case, the issue of falsification of the election results shall cease to be an internal US affair, and it is not surprising that against this background, one of the most influential US Senators Rand Paul, who had warned about this danger even during the debates, became the first of the senators, who stated the need to indict Hillary in a court of Law, but also of his inner conviction that she is guilty and should not remain free.
And Trump openly trolls his rival, and then enjoys watching how she, in spite of all available administrative resources, in response to his provocations begins nervously soap the rope, and rearranges the stools, and sometimes after especially successful jokes about the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, she starts to add up to a stack of firewood.
And the fact that Trump has so far refrained from making a serious and fairly obvious accusations, says that he is really highly experienced negotiator who has a plan for how to use jokes and trolling to wear down in the rearguard battles administrative resource of Bastinda the Great and Terrible and deliver US from having to turn into a flock of the Flying Monkeys.
“Donald Trump saves his resources and means and this proves that he is running for a long distance” – Finc
It actually means that he sees the futility, and has thrown in the towel.
I got an email last night from the Trump campaign asking me to donate and that they had a goal of something like $10 million by noon today. That reeks of desperation. I gave Bernie $100 in June. I’m not giving any of the other candidates from the major parties one thin dime of my hard earned money.
same here
“When it happens, she will have no idea what to do.”
It’s a vast rightwing conspiracy dontchaknow?
Indeed Herr Kunstler you are all too accurate once again with your analysis, except of course for one small point. Hillary will know exactly what to do when it all craps out – stuff her valise full of cash and valuables and head for the bunker. Bill of course will grab a couple of floozies and some cigars, then off they will go to the Hide Out that they have certainly already prepared for the occasion. All of the scumbag sellouts have an exit plan (I even know a couple myself) they are just hanging in there till the last possible moment so they can fleece us all out of every possible red cent we can mortgage ourselves into. Then into their holes and shut the doors behind them letting us all to slug it out for what little of value remains up top. If we are fortunate, a large asteroid, some other Wormwood like object, or a massive CME will shorten the suffering of the remaining surface creatures. If not it will NOT be a fun place to be stuck, but better to die as free men up here than as slaves to the kings of the underworld.

Diamonds, Gold, Land, Cash (USD)….
“Scumbag sellout” seems a bit harsh….
Destroying the Great American Experiment deserves a harsh response don’t you think? On Thursday night I will be defending a Resolution I sponsored before our Township Committee in which I call for the sellouts in Trenton to replenish the stolen funds from our Transportation Trust Fund out of their our pockets instead of increased taxation from us. An old hippie in the audience two weeks ago called my words “angry” and suggested that we just shut up and pay. I can only assume that the years of substance abuse has dimmed her wits. The time for words of praise and love has past. You, we have been cheated, robbed, sold out. please, do not go quietly into the night.

are you relocating to Russia? We all know how much you detest Florida.
Russians probably regard the average American with disdain. We would bring nothing of value to Russia but our money and even that is sketchy.
The same reason I’m still in Flori-Duh. My paycheck is here and I am fortunate to have excellent co-workers. The latter make up for the human and suburban blight that is everywhere else.
“My paycheck is here and I am fortunate to have excellent co-workers.”
That ain’t bad!
No one will bite the billionaires hands that feed them for they have invented a control device that consists of pictures of dead presidents and such that allows those less blessed with wisdom to be owned and controlled outright. But fear not for those millionaire molemen shall be crawling down into their own tombs for so it is written and so it shall be. Going underground is only taking one step closer to hell and THAT shall be their final destination. Pity them not, their choice was made willingly.

The MSM is now piling on Trump. Everyday I’ll google “Trump” to peruse the headlines. One headline today is: “Donald Trump Tests Positive for Everything”.
I’m no fan of Trump, but you can’t have the mass media cheerleading for one candidate while disparaging his/her opponent. It’s rigged.
(In fact, they don’t so much “buy” them as simply extinguish them by playing three-card-monte with national treasuries.
[Referring to bonds with negative yields.]
====================================
I read this week’s blogpost for maybe the third time. and the above sentence is the only one that still puzzles me. Anyone care to help? JHK?
Well, if a sovereign government buys it’s own bonds from it’s privately owned central bank at negative interest rates, at some point in time, (at least theoretically and certainly if the negative rates were substantial enough) would not the money invested in the purchase not disappear? Over a long haul, negative interest rates consumes invested capital, leaving the investor with nothing which is the odds on result of Three Card Monte, right?
Walter,
Thanks for taking the time to answer!
. . . would [not (delete)] the money invested in the purchase not disappear?
================================
Deleting one of the two “nots” in you first sentence results in my understanding the concept. I have to always remind myself that buying a bond is the same as lending money to the seller of the bond. Also, I had to look up what three-card-monte is.
Now all is well. Except for the economy.
in you [your] first sentence
“Also, I had to look up what three-card-monte is.” – sprawlcapital
Sprawl Sir, where are you? I want to visit, it sounds so idyllic!
The three-card-monte is a common pastime here, as is EVERY SCHEME, SCAM, AND CON IMAGINABLE. What we learned in the Schoolyard has become a Career in Finance.
My advice is that if you’ve never mastered three-card-monte, then it’s best to stay out of the Markets.
My pleasure sir. The bond market remains a serious problem and perhaps even a huge bubble as well. Most people do not realize that when municipalities borrow money through the issuance of bonds that a lot of these notes have to, by law, go out for bid every year unless the bonds are converted to fixed rate at great expense. This year’s bond sale in our Township drew only two bidders for $3.5M in bonds, and when it was over our rate doubled. We are not exactly sure what we would have had to do if no one bid on the bonds, but the talk has been that we would have had to come up with the $3.5M which would have been damned near impossible what with us only having a $2.7M yearly operating budget. I suppose we could have deferred most of that out of our school tax collection but THAT is not a real answer and holds a number of consequences that are dangerous at least. None of it is good and it is all certainly a house of cards, so unless the wind never blows again surely it must fall at some point in time.

There won’t be large-scale civil unrest until the masses – the average person on the street – lose all faith in our government AND cannot provide the necessities of life for themselves and their families. I know I live in an area supposedly better off than the average but I don’t see widespread poverty at all. I mean third world type poverty. People are very cynical about the government, but haven’t lost their faith in the fed’s ability to prevent them from experiencing poverty. This is why the public will vote for the lesser of 2 evils.
The current attitude wiould change drastically if people have no food, but until then forget about rebellion. Those following websites like CFN often refer to the masses disparagingly as sheeple, but come on, that’s kind of the definition of consensus – the majority of people having the same feeling about a particular subject. There exists persons extremely competent in molding public opinion, so I don’t blame the public for not seeing the possible dangers facing them.
Paul Theroux in his book “Deep South” says that parts of the Deep South, in particular the Mississippi Delta, resemble places in impoverished Africa that he’s toured.
Pucker,
As I call, he opined that the poverty he observed exceeded that of Africa….
recall, dammit….
beantownbill,
I’m with you on this.
“There exists persons extremely competent in molding public opinion, so I don’t blame the public for not seeing the possible dangers facing them.”
This reminds me of the statement of Michael A. Hoffman II that “America is a huge open-air mind control experiment.”
I really do try not to lay blame either until I get in a discussion with someone like my brother-in-law who’s rejoinder was, “Are you really that paranoid?”
The destruction of Europe was premeditated murder. There is no longer the slightest doubt.

So you were wrong Mr Darling – and I was right. Ditto to all y’all who believed the media narrative on this: Elrond, wpa, Neon Vincent, Bro Job, Buk Beast, etc.
A ways up-log Pucker asked the LOADED question of the decade:
“Is Hillary a knave, or a simple soul?”
I’ll take the bait and say it is neither, instead, a four letter word that rhymes with the Republic of Ireland’s pre-E.U. currency name. exchange the first letter with a “C” and ensure it is capitalized. The result is Pucker’s unabashed answer.
Hillary is a simple soul. Her values come from Henri Nouwen. You can trust her to authentically care.

Reality check.
An estimated 21% of the people in the Third World (the 50 poorest nations) have access to electricity. What percentage of the poor in the USA have electricity? Answer: 99.9%
I don’t think you can really make a comparison of “impoverished Africa”… with poverty in the USA, where 99.9% of the poor have electricity.
Pucker, do you have any experience living in the Third World? Or do you get your ideas about the Third World from Hollywood movies?
It was Paul Theroux’s observation, not mine. Read his book “Deep South”.
“Paul Edward Theroux (born April 10, 1941) is an American travel writer and novelist, whose best-known work is The Great Railway Bazaar (1975). He has published numerous works of fiction, some of which were adapted as feature films.” – Wikipedia
LOTS of fiction
Deep South: Four Seasons on Back Roads is a 2015 non-fiction book authored by Paul Theroux.[2]
Check out his book on Africa, Dark Star I believe, if you still have any illusions about the Negro. Jews founded the NAACP, but did they have any gratitude? They threw Jews out a couple of decades ago, after decades of hard work on their behalf and against Whites (the real reason).

Whose fault is it that Africa is so lacking in electric power? If WHITE PEOPLE hadn’t harnessed electric power as we know it today, Africa would have ZERO electric power.
How many decades have soft-headed Whites, especially those Save The Children types, sent aid workers to show Africans how to do basic public infrastructure i.e. sanitation, water wells, modern farming, etc? Either it was all propaganda or, Black Africans failed to take the knowledge and grow it for themselves. Black Africa has received help for the past 60+ years from charity NGO’s. That is more than enough time to organically grow indigenous heavy industry and even build the kinds of machines once seen in the 1950’s entirely in house.
As far as poverty in the U.S. they live in a matrix that imposes vastly greater rents for the right to exist than their peers in Africa. There is a vast chasm between living in Section 8 and being homeless. There are no free public lands where people can homestead, squat, or legally settle without the accoutrements of infrastructure. In Amerika, if you don’t have a Social Security number and a Corporation ID (your fictitious name in ALL CAPS), you CANNOT FUNCTION.
In many African nations, individuals are able to work for themselves, travel by ox cart, and live in the countryside without being required to pay for insurance, car payments, rents, and other necessary evils required to function in the U.S. They live closer to the state of Nature and, if they are well adjusted to that way of living, then they are fine. It’s when they try to take on the White Western way of life, without the bondage contracts or prior investment in industry, that causes the dysfunction.
BTW, the poor in the U.S. have electricity thanks to FDR and LBJ. But, even they couldn’t deliver electric power to the poor had White Americans not developed it like they did.
For the record, thanks for your posts; certain of others posting on this site sauce their arguments with “facts” so narrowed in historical context as to reduce them down to factoid irrelevance (denatured, so to speak). The practice reveals neurotic self-aggrandizement cloaked in idealistic notions of human redemption which are totally unsupported by objective examination of history or humanity’s current circumstance.

Maybe things are looking up a little. I’ve been waiting since 1980 to hear any substantial number of Americans pull their head out of their kooky secular religion and see and say things like this.
Reminds me of what I said to my best friend, who lives in Sweden, about living in America ;
Believe it or not, I really don’t mind being poor.
What I DO mind is being arrested and thrown in a cage , not because I raped someone or robbed a bank, but because there are holes in my shoes and some paranoid suburban soccer mom called the Gestapo ,
Because…..well…. I’m spoiling her view of Candy land.
Jim,
The African continent does not lend itself to urbanization like North America and even Europe. It is too hot and arid in parts and too jungle dense in others. But as for poverty and electricity you are absolutely correct. The way of life that evolved in Africa is such that the lack of electrification is not an indication of poverty. Poverty is imposed not the result of selection. We impose poverty because we are [gulp] immigrants. Our way of life did not evolve here over a millennia. The native Americans survived just fine before we arrived.
The poverty that exists in Africa, and the lack of development and industrialization is the result of meddling. All those western missionaries had little effect on African civilization or it’s development because behind the curtains western governments were doing what they do best … meddling. Warring factions were armed to gain access to silver, diamonds and gold mining. There was little thought or care to morality. African wildlife was unique in all the world and access to hunting rights by European elites was paramount.
All these factors combined to produce what we see in Africa now. Transplanted western style poverty.
It’s a fascinating experience to read National Geographics from the 1920’s when they explore sub-Saharan Africa.
Yes, the Black Africans were primitive but, they were fully adjusted from centuries of living as they did. Everything they needed came from the jungle or the savannahs. They had their gods, medicine men, tribal ways, and whatever else they had. The explorers didn’t see any starving people because tribes migrated to follow the herds if they had to. The women were all turned out and brightly dressed, which means they had ample free time to create clothing that was attractive.
The kids had a very strong sense of who they were, steeped in the tribal traditions from birth, and could look forward to the dignity of adult life as a warrior/hunter or wife. The latter which had its own dignity and place in the tribe.
The season of primaries is finally behind us, which at times looked like a report either from the headquarters of the planners of the Third World War, or from the headquarters of the mafia, planning a robbery of the Federal Reserve System.
The latter association is particularly relevant due to the continuously growing list of people running into inexplicably violent thugs or committing suicide immediately after they tried to expose the Clinton “family” in the sense in which “family” in America is used by Italian Mafia. And there are five such people who left us early in August. However, the FBI, the police and the other law enforcement agencies, together with the “human rights activists” are as silent as clams.
Particularly impressive in this list of five names is one Seth Conrad Rich, the source, who leaked to Assange of “Wikileaks’ information regarding manipulation of the primaries by the Democratic National Committee in favor of Hillary Clinton. The very information that was not even discussed in the media due to the fact that Assange allegedly received it from the Russian hackers in order to ensure victory in the elections in the United States by Putin’s agent code-named “Donald Trump”. And as you know, the Russian hackers can not remove from the American server a single word of truth, without distorting it beyond recognition
In light of such talents, and family values of the Clinton “family”, the refusal of the FBI Director to present the charges to Hillary Clinton surprises, but not much.
Rather surprising that he first confirmed all the accusations that were imposed by others, such as by the Congress Commission to investigate the incident in Benghazi, during which US Ambassador Stevens and his four guards were killed. It seems that the director of the FBI, faced with the need to refuse to open a criminal case, came to the conclusion that for concealing incriminating evidence he may subsequently be brought to justice himself, and for giving an opinion regarding “no reasonable prosecutor would bring the case to court” bringing him personally to justice is impossible.
And it says that the forces standing behind Hillary Clinton are not only powerful enough to make the FBI director to obey, but also that they are not omnipotent, and FBI Director not only sees the limits of their power, but hedged his ass in the event of their sudden collapse.

Russia Uses Airbase in Iran as a Safeguard Against ‘Satellite Surveillance’
We would rather not point fingers but jihadists have managed to hide from Russian warplanes suspiciously too often. This could only be done if they have access to satellite surveillance data.
This is one of the reasons behind Russia’s decision to use the Hamadan airfield in Iran as a launching ground for airstrikes against Daesh and al-Nusra Front in Syria. Russian aircraft deployed to Iran need less time to reach their goals.
In other words, the militants have less time to hide even if they know that an airstrike is imminent.

Hillary Clinton is a healthy 67-year-old woman who suffers from hypothyroidism, seasonal allergies and takes blood thinners as a precaution against clots, according to a two-page letter from her personal physician released Friday afternoon by her campaign.
“Her cancer screening evaluations are all negative,” Dr. Lisa Bardack, chair of internal medicine at the Mount Kisco Medical Group, and Clinton’s physician since 2001, wrote, summarizing Clinton’s health history. “She is in excellent physical condition and fit to serve as President of the United States.”

What a Clinton Landslide Map Would Look Like, and How Trump Could Still Rally
NYTimes.com/upshot »
Unless Donald Trump can change his approach for a general election audience, he may be left hoping for an external event.
And if she suffered from seizures or brain lesions due to the concussion she suffered several years ago which could impair her ability to be President would her personal physician tell us?
Bannon’s hiring by Trump is
“a fitting consummation to a romance desperately pursued by Steve Bannon, who turned Breitbart into a national mockery to get close to Trump.
“He’s Trump — but smart. A loudmouth bully who cons his way into positions of power. I think he’ll double Trump down and tell him he’s winning even when he’s losing, because it isn’t about Trump — It’s about what Bannon can get from Trump.”
–Ben Shapiro, formerly an editor at Breitbart
I hope Mr Kunstler gets over his allergy to conspiracy theories. Conspiracies don’t have to be explicit with deals hammered out via telephone calls or face-to-face in smoke filled rooms in the wee hours or with trench-coated men meeting in dimly lit bars.
Loose arrangements can come about without direct communication between “schemers”, the schemers can see what the others are doing, they can hear and read each others public pronouncements, they understand the coded speech.
And general understandings can develop via small talk on the dinner party circuit, with hints and nods and winks and body language.
The world’s main central banks are all rowing in the same direction. Co-incidence? I doubt it.
Look at who backs Hillary. Can you say “Oligarchy”? Hillary is the chief of the Oligarchist Party, formerly known as Democrats.
This Party give lip service to “progressive” causes. In reality, as KesaAnna tells us, the Party couldn’t give a shit. It’s just politics.
Tell me, how has Hillary helped her most stalwart constituency – Black people? In reality, through their support for globalization, Hillary and the party she leads threw Black people overboard. What’s the matter with Kansas, liberal Democrats mockingly ask. But it’s Hillary’s supporters that have been fools. What’s the matter with THEM?
Does anyone seriously think that the Fed acts for the general welfare of the country? Of course it doesn’t. The Fed doesn’t give a damn about the country. The Fed does what Wall Street wants. Wall Street wants Hillary.
Hillary is trustworthy, with decades of experience to back up her trust. She is committed to all people in the sense that “all lives matter”. You agree with that, don’t you, Volodya?
While she is well aware of the poison of prejudice, discrimination, and hatred toward Blacks, she has positioned herself as a humanitarian and “keeper of the people”. You agree with that, don’t you, Volodya?
Make no mistake about it, she has been very supportive and have spoken very candidly in support of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement. Hillary is not afraid of naming issues that affect black and brown people all across this nation from mass incarceration to unemployment, and makes every attempt to not just talk about it, but she believes that it is mission critical that we as a nation roll up our sleeves and become foot-soldiers for justice.
I do not feel that Hillary would allow human atrocities at home or abroad to fester and engulf a people or a nation. She is committed to fairness, equity, empowerment, and progress. As such, she is a candidate that is willing to place herself in the shoes of others and respond with humility, compassion, and sincerity. She is a candidate of reason and has a level head.
Hillary is healthy and strong. I doubt Trump could have survived eight congressional investigations with tag-team interrogations lasting 11 hours.
The glockenspiel is clicking on all mechanical wheels, chiming out the tune punched into the control cards by the ministry of “truth speak”.
” Hillary is healthy and strong. I doubt Trump could have survived eight congressional investigations with tag-team interrogations lasting 11 hours. ”

Ooooohhh , So Mephistopheles has survived eight congressional investigations ?

Her domestic agenda is progressive and appeals to those too uneducated to consider broader issues. Her foreign policy, and that of her husband before her which she shares, is neocon. It smacks of confrontation, intervention and manipulation. Whatever it takes. If she is elected we will see more “Ukraines”, Libyas and Syrias. At the very least we will see a continuation. Cold and hot wars benefit arms manufacturers and gun runners.
“If she is elected we will see more ‘Ukraines’”
Super! I could look at those Ukrainian women ALL DAY LONG!

Hillary’s supporters are engaged in the exact same projection behavior they exhibited with the hope and change candidate, O’blammo. Checking the public record is just sooooo tiring and fantasy-killing, y’know?
All we have to do to separate the wishful-thinking bullshit from the reality is look at who she “owes”. Remember, she gleefully used her Sec. of State clout to make a lot of self-serving deals with a gaggle of worldwide, legalized gangsters. (Um, let’s just use JHK’s term: Racketeers)
Conspiracy “theories” can quickly morph into conspiracy *facts* when the particulars are brought to light. (I don’t find it that difficult to keep an open mind and flexibility to discern the difference.

Unfortunately for the puppet masters, Trump – even with his comedy of errors – still looks better than Killery Clinton.”

Trump’s current favorability rating at 32 percent, with his unfavorability exactly double that number at 64 percent, for an overall net -32.
Clinton’s current favorability rating at 41 percent, with her unfavorability at 55 percent, for an overall net -14.
Clinton is also gaining strength among white blue-collar men who do not have a college education. That white male working class support is why she is winning Pennsylvania, Florida, etc. and all the swing states that put her so far ahead of Trump in electoral votes. Electoral votes are the only votes that matter for being elected president.
If Trump does not drop out, he is going to be a big LOSER. Trump does not like being a loser, so I think he will drop out.

It wasn’t too long after Aivazovsky’s painting that Russia surrendered to the Germans! Russian romanticism, Russian nationalism, Russian patriotism, did not stop Russia’s surrender.
” Trump does not like being a loser, so I think he will drop out.”
Can’t he just declare election BANKRUPTCY?
The EU extended the economic sanctions targeting the financial, energy and defense industries of the Russian economy, as well as dual-use goods, until Jan. 31, 2017. These sanctions were prolonged because the European Council determined that the Minsk agreements concerning military activity in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine have not been respected.
The prolonged economic sanctions aim to do the following:
** limit access to EU primary and secondary capital markets for five major Russian majority state-owned financial institutions and their majority-owned subsidiaries established outside of the EU, as well as three major Russian energy companies and three defence companies;
** impose an export and import ban on trade in arms;
** establish an export ban for dual-use goods for military use or military end users in Russia; and
** curtail Russian access to certain sensitive technologies and services that can be used for oil production and exploration.
The sanctions are meant to hurt Russia, especially the financial sanctions. Business in Russia cannot get long-term funding, so it is very difficult for them to invest into any long-term projects.
For example, Russia showcased an MC-21 plane at the Farnborough air show in July of this year, but the planes are not selling abroad. European and American sanctions have been a nightmare for the MC-21 project, largely because the project has more than 20 foreign partners.
Putin will surrender to Western pressure after his invasion of Crimea, or the Russian people themselves will rise up against Putin.
so ;
Russia should not get its panties in a twist over Ukraine.
But it is perfectly understandable for the US to get its panties in a twist over tiny Cuba , or a Guatemala that most Americans don’t even know what a Guatemala is.
That is, you are going to convince your enemy to except a context you obviously flatly reject yourself.
the Russians and the Americans are far more alike than not.
I love Cuba and Guatemala!

Order No. 227. Not one step back!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_No._227
“. . . she will have no idea what to do.”
But “Its” (her) puppeteer banskters will – start a big-ass war with the Russkies and/or the red Chinks.
The concept of societal collapse may be gaining wider attention.
A lady of the Progressive Left named Laura Flanders has a talk show on Free Speech TV. In a program broadcast yesterday she commented that everything is so awful, it makes you wonder why anyone is still nice to anyone else.
Along those lines, it finally occurred to me that maybe “dannyboy” is not a computer. Maybe “he” is a suffering human being, maybe on “his” deathbed, “raging against the dying of the light”.
If so, let “him” rage at you all. Leave me out.

“Order No. 227. Not one step back!” –Finca
Order No. 228: Impose stronger sanctions against Russia, hitting the energy sector, esp. Russian oil exports.
Order No. 228 would have a deep and immediate effect, because of the large share of energy export revenues in the overall Russian state budget.
Order No. 228 will destroy the ruble because of the close relation between the ruble value and Russian energy trade.
Order No. 228 could lead to another significant drop of Russian state income from energy exports, for instance, as a result of the US’s sanctioning, like in the case of Iran, international companies that buy oil from, or transport oil for, Russia, above a certain level, or that assist Moscow’s energy trade otherwise.
Order No. 228, within a couple of months, will cause the Russian state to be unable to pay salaries, pensions etc.
Order No. 228 will lead to another ruble collapse and ensuing inflation would even earlier drive down the real income of much of the Russian population.
Order No. 228 will put Russia’s whole social system in turmoil. Many in Moscow, of course, know of this dependence and fear the Order No. 228 scenario.
Order No. 228 energy export sanctions against Russia should thus be more or even far more effectual than examples from other sanction regimes in other periods and against other types of states suggest.
Certainly when it comes to the Donetsk these guys know what they are doing.
After all, they have done such a wonderful job on their own tobacco road. 😀
“Russia should not get its panties in a twist over Ukraine.”
To make things perfectly clear, the question of Ukraine for Russia is the question if the future battles of the future war will again rage on the Russian territory – or not.
Certain things are non-negotiable.
” the question of Ukraine for Russia is the question if the future battles of the future war will again rage on the Russian territory – or not. ”
Precisely so.
— Speaking of Putin and the Russian people ……..
Ronald Reagan looked good, and he sure could give a nice speech.
And, in the main, he went a long way toward demolishing any conservative principle that conservatives, at least supposedly, believe in.
Going back further, I never know whether to burst into tears , or roll on the floor laughing, whenever someone describes the NSDAP as , ” Right Wing ” . the only thing right wing about the NSDAP was the costumes .
My point being, politics seems to at least be as much about emotion as about any empirical data, or a mundane process of getting things done.
You should re-read the “Foundation” by A.Asimov – emotions do get things done.
“the Russians and the Americans are far more alike than not.” –KesaAnna
Really? The United States is a SUPERPOWER. Russia is a minor regional player.
The United States spends half its budget on war-related expenses (preparing for future wars, fighting current wars, paying all the maimed veterans of past wars for the rest of their lives). Russia spends only 20.8 percent, or 3.36 trillion rubles ($84.19 billion) of its national budget on war… because Russia is a minor regional player. Russia comes nowhere near the $900 Billion the US spends. See the difference? Russia is a minor regional player.
The United States has 800 military bases all over the world. How many military bases does Russia have outside Russia? Ten, and mostly in neighboring areas, in former Soviet republics. See? That is the meaning of “minor REGIONAL player.”
Get real, KesaAnna.
hmm, thanks for sharing with me those statistics — which I already knew.
You quoted me why ?
On second thought, ok, maybe they aren’t more alike than not.
These statistics seem to show, if anything, that the country led– for how many years now ? — by the former KGB colonel, a graduate of the school of Beria and Yezhov ,
is LESS steeped in fantasy, MORE reasonable, than yours .
still, both seem to me to be , regardless of political label, uniform, flag, or acronym, nations dominated by a kooky, fantastic pseudo-religion – that-isn’t- even-a-religion.
Like the james Dean movie, rebel(s) without a cause” , nay, worse, like tom petty said, ” a rebel without a clue.”
“You quoted me why ?”
Because you don’t seem to know the difference between a world superpower (USA) and a minor regional player (Russia).
“by the former KGB colonel” –KesaAnna
Former midget coward KGB colonel who had young women singers in Pussy Riot arrested and sentenced for their prayer/protest in Christ the Savior Cathedral. Big brave man!
But Putin surrendered to world pressure and released them early. They got their message across. Pussy Riot is saying “Don’t look to God for help, you’ve got to get out on the streets and demand change!”
The Virgin Mary, who is purported to stand with the downtrodden (and not, presumably, with institutions allied with authoritarian regimes), must support Pussy Riot in their fight for justice.
wpa–Russia is a minor regional player.
===============================
Arguing against Russia being a mere minor power is their space program. Remember that American astronauts depend on Russian rockets to get to, and–more importantly–to return from, the International Space Station.
Also tipping the scales in favor of Russia being more than a minor power is the fact that they possess hundreds, if not thousands, of nuclear warheads.
“Why isn’t Michael Moore down in Venezuela” –brh
Michael Moore is a white male and is the champion of white men… and he is from Flint, so he has his hands full.
Did you ever see WHERE TO INVADE NEXT? Several months ago you said you were going to watch it.
What’d you think? It is a patriotic movie, pro-national borders, pro-America, pro-poor white folks, pro-working class.
“How many military bases does Russia have outside Russia?”
Not really sure, but it seems we got the one that matters
We got one in Crimea, one in Hmeimim, Syria, a brand new one – Hamadan air-base in Iran.
Also I heard that the Turks are seriously considering kicking Yankee’s ass out of Incirlik Airbase and renting it out to Russians.
It is Iran’s base. On Iranian territory. Iran is sharing its base because it furthers Iran’s goals. Little man Putin is the bitch of the Ayatollahs. (The word “bitch” in this context means: “Modern-day servant; A person who performs tasks for another, usually degrading in status.”
Putin is furthering Islam. Iran is a majority Muslim country, in which Islam is enshrined in the constitution and all laws are subject to Islamic principles. Indeed, the country’s official title is the Islamic Republic of Iran. Now Iran has Putin as its errand-boy, doing Iran’s Islamic will.
“sentenced for their prayer”
You calling a public masturbation on an altar a “prayer”? That’s original.
The sleep of reason produces monsters

Sran’ Gospodnya! Public singing, not public masturbation.
You are trying to make the political, which should be protected freedom of expression, into something sexual. Here is what Pussy Riot sang:
“Patriarch Gundyay believes in Putin
Would be better, the bastard, if he believed in God!
The Virgin’s belt won’t replace political gatherings
The eternal Virgin Mary is with us in our protests!
Virgin birth-Giver of God, drive away Putin!”
So, where they moaning when cumming? I didn’t know, but I could see how in your sick imagination that makes it more “artistic”.
“I didn’t know, but I could see how in your sick imagination that makes it more “artistic”.” –finca
Again, you and your sick imagination are perverting art. You know they were singing and that is artistic expression. You know it was the content of the lyrics that Putin objected to. You know there is no freedom of expression in Putin’s Russia.
Hmm, drive to closest Methodist church on Sunday during the service and try masturbating on the Altar – see what happens.
Better yet, do it in Mosque – they’re more “peaceful” religion.
The church they went to is a restored church, a major draw for international tourists. No liturgical service was taking place. It is not the same as interrupting a protestant church service on Sunday morning or an Islamic mosque full of Muslims in prayer.
There was no congregation gathered there when Pussy Riot arrived. No liturgy was being performed. The church was empty. Pussy Riot was praying directly to God at the altar. They were singing a religious hymn, “Bogoroditsa Deva” (in the original Russian, which means “Mother of God.”) Theotokos = God-bearer = “Mother of God”
The song Pussy Riot sang to the Virgin Mary is a plea for a religion free from politics and corruption. Very Christ-like, in other words.
Trump has openly said that crooked Hillary is preparing to forge the election results, and her supporters in response arranged a hysteria that “Trump wants to de-legitimize the elections, which invincible Hillary is sure to win”.
And after he cautiously hinted at a crucial role of the Second Amendment to the Constitution in this campaign, which guarantees the right of Americans to bear arms and to create a militia to counter politicians who falsify election results, her supporters just went crazy and began to discuss ways the US military could suppress the uprising of the people against the American President-elect Hillary Clinton. And despite the fact that the US Army in these elections supports Trump, overwhelmingly voting for him in the cities of America, where there are military bases.
And Trump himself is not pushing the subject of the Civil War and keeps all his trump cards up his sleeve. We can say that he knows what forces he faces, and that popular votes will not protect him.
Last week all the American media were enthusiastically discussing the possibility that in fact he does not want to be president, and just takes the opportunity to show off his acting talents. But the fact of the matter is that Clinton supporters themselves hyped in the media theme of possible riots and civil war, and now it has got the life of its own.
“keeps all his trump cards up his sleeve”
isn’t that cheating?And wouldn’t you be against that?
No, it’s a legit Russian military tactics of deceiving the enemy – maskirovka
Russian military cheat at cards?
Trump might end up being tried for sedition and serving a long prison sentence.
18 US Code Chapter 115 – TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES
Sedition is conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state.
Like the British colonel George Washington maybe ? the Royal Postmaster Benjamin Franklin ? or the Crown Jurist John Adams?
“Subversive” to who?
And I might end up laughing my ass off when you SUPERPOWER !!!! your way into poverty, swatting flies with your 357 magnum , as you American Protestant ( but without the excuse of actually being Protestant ) religious cranks are given to do.
again, no recognition for the American Jews, who contribute to social well-being.
Yes, like Hillary, you set out to do good, and end up doing well.
The whole take down of Europe is being spun as a social service issue. This kind of thing has really gotten out of hand. Such “morality” is simply a psychic cancer even when genuine.
Your comparison of meto Hillary is farfetched.
What is it that prevents you from seeing individuals?
You have advocated abolishing national sovereignty, including borders, immigration laws, the exclusionary right of citizenship,….. hell, the whole ball game.
“Trump might end up being tried for sedition”
And for being a Putin’s agent code-named “The Donald”.
Finca, don’t confuse sedition and treason. Trump is guilty of both, but what he did with Putin was treason, not sedition.

What could be more environmentally and socially advantageous than an entire country going 100% organic?
The Danish government has actually announced that it will transform the entire country’s agriculture into organic and sustainable farming.
This means that Denmark will be the first country on the planet to become 100% organic.
Bhutan could within a decade become the first country in the world to go wholly organic in its food production, according to key politicians in the Himalayan kingdom. Unless Denmark gets there first.
Agriculture and forests minister Lyonpo Yeshey Dorji and opposition leader Pema Gyamtsho, who held the post in the previous government, say there is a united commitment to rid the country of chemical fertilisers and pesticides.
So previously I believed that perhaps Jill Stein was somebody who could be supported as a presidential candidate.
I take that back.
She spoke a couple days ago at the University of Minnesota on reparations for slavery.
So, again– I do not support Jill Stein. She sounds very apparently a Marxist.
What I am for is a country of anti-monopolists. I am for small business people & entrepeneurs.
Thanks for letting us know. I support reparations, so I’ll take another look at Jill. I will be voting for a woman presidential candidate. I just have to analyze all of them to make a decision.
Meanwhile, in the USA, 13 million people live in food deserts. A food desert is a low-income census tract where a substantial number or share of residents has low access to a supermarket or large grocery store. Food deserts are defined as parts of the country vapid of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful whole foods, usually found in impoverished areas. This is largely due to a lack of grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and healthy food providers.
Here is a map of food desert locations nationwide (no car and no grocery store within one mile)
http://americannutritionassociation.org/sites/default/files/food-deserts.jpg
Food desert?
We have so called ‘food deserts’ here.
Back in the ’68 riots local supermarkets and food stores were looted and burned out. They were never rebuilt. Why bother, really? There have been many attempts along the way to put regional food stores into ghetto neighborhoods; they don’t last long, maybe 6 months or so, what with employee pilfering, shoplifting, outright theft, muggings in the parking lot, stolen cars (you try to do business under those conditions) … what we have now are ‘Bodegas’ with bars on the windows and armed local thugs guarding the entrance, a big sign that reads ‘We Accept Food Stamps’, and where a gallon of milk costs $6.

None of those women candidates are fit to clean the toilet of Queen Maria Theresa of 18th century Austria.
THIRTY YEARS OF REAGAN TAX CUTS HAVE NOT WORKED
Tax cuts for the rich do not inexorably result in more economic activity, but create a growing income gap between those at the top and those at the bottom. The rich tend to save more of their disposable income and growth slows down.
Ha-Joon Chang, the popular economics writer from Cambridge University, is another veteran critic of the idea. “The trickle-down argument crucially depends on the assumption that, when given a bigger slice of national output, the rich will use it to increase investments”, he has written.
He describes this as “an assumption that has not been borne out by reality”, and goes on: “Once you realise that trickle-down economics does not work, you will see the excessive tax cuts for the rich as what they are: a simple upward redistribution of income, rather than a way to make all of us richer.”
UPWARD REDISTRIBUTION OF INCOME
That is what Reagan has wrought
Take it back! Tax the rich!
As a general, overall introduction to economics,Ha-Joon Chang’s, “23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism” is pretty good. The jacket describes it as “…a lighthearted book with a serious purpose…”
Any arroyo stories you care to share?
I have to agree with this particular posting 100%.
Of course, all of this was foreseen back in the 1980’s when it was going down. But, we were called Conspiracy Theorists for pointing that out.
Wharton students posted an open letter to Trump, rejecting his bigotry and arguing that a Trump presidency would hurt the country.
Since then, more than 3,800 members of the Wharton community have signed the letter, including students, alumni and at least five current professors.
“Your insistence on exclusion and scapegoating would be bad for business and bad for the American economy,” the letter reads. “An intolerant America is a less productive, less innovative, and less competitive America.”
NOTE: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ? 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ? from entering the U.S.
I used to recruit at Wharton. Very hospitable.
What do you have against Trump Tower btw?
It was the first skinny tower buiding in NYC. Previously zoning prevented such density.
The outsized density affects the public space that we share (sidewalks, subways, etc), increases noise levels, decreases fresh air and light.
Kinda’ anti-life.
Like Trumpet, who blows his own horn annoyingly.
How is a skinny tower different than a skyscraper?
The Trump Tower is skinny and tall. Way out of proportion (contrast that with the grandeur of Empire State, Chrysler Building and many, many others).
The engineering developed to the point where there was less need for width to anchor new building. Trump influenced the Zoning Laws to allow this CRAP.
Originally Jacqueline Kennedy led the opposition to this monstrosity. She noted that this building would set a precedent for others, which would one day cast a shadow over Central Park that would be ominous. That day has come.
Ok, that must mean what Ivanka meant by iconic. But let’s face it: architects and builders want to stand out and many are now doing similar type things, are they not? Putting Central Park in permanent shade may well be a real concern, but a regular building would have done the same or worse. From what I’ve seen, it probably is time to stop building tall building in downtown Manhattan. Why don’t they expand north or south if the need is there? Or to other boroughs?
“Why don’t they expand north or south if the need is there? Or to other boroughs?”
The Expansion to the South is Underway. It began with the World Trade Center.
Northern Manhattan is residential.
The “Boroughs” don’t have the Panache that Manhattan does.
You see…
…it’s complicated

Few people trust Hillary Clinton and now the Democratic party’s ethics have been called into question.
Therefore, the only ethical course of action to ensure the best possibility to place a Democrat in the office of President of the United States, is for Hillary Roddam Clinton to concede the nomination to Bernie Sanders and endorse his campaign.
Conservative Louisiana Flood Victims Are Suddenly Silent About Big Government
Now that the Louisiana Flood of 2016 is beginning to recede, guess who is outraged that the federal government isn’t moving fast enough to help them? If you guessed the conservative residents of Louisiana who do not understand how government or federal disaster declarations work, you would be correct.
For a bunch of folks who believe in rugged individualism and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, I find it pretty typical that these individuals are the first to complain when a natural disaster hits them, instead of some disadvantaged minority neighborhood like the Lower 9th Ward.
Louisiana conservatives love to politicize tragedies for their own agendas, but are now wailing bitterly that it is wrong and inhuman of me to have written this story. Remember all the gun fanatics who called Sandy Hook and the Orlando Pulse nightclub shootings “false flags” designed to take away guns?
To apply the classic conservative victim-blaming logic, you didn’t have to buy a $300,000 house in a low-lying subdivision, and then suddenly act surprised when you end up flooded without the proper insurance. These are your poor life choices that you made, but the rest of us are expected to bail you out? See how that works? Thoughts and prayers, bro.
Burning down Chris Christie’s debt…
The New York Times reports that after Trump’s failing Atlantic City casinos racked up as staggering $30 million of unpaid taxes, Christie took office and $25 million of Trump’s tax burden was conveniently written off.
Perhaps Christie was expecting Trump to return a favor. When Trump started in Atlantic City, he refused to put any of his own money into the casinos, financing them instead with junk bonds and personal debt. He repeatedly landed his businesses in bankruptcy court, even when Atlantic City was thriving. Investors, and eventually shareholders, foolishly bet on Trump’s reputation as a competent business man. As Trump paid himself millions in salaries and benefits, and used casino revenue to pay off his personal debts, stock and bondholders lost over $1.5 billion.

Putin’s Caliphate
Russia + Syria + Iran + Turkey + Iraq
Russia inexorably becomes the world geopolitical leader.
Under the Moscow’s direction the war on terror in the Middle East is entering a new, decisive phase. The most important states in the region – not only Syria but also Iran, and Iraq are becoming our open allies in the fight against the jihadists. Turkey, humiliated by the participation of Washington in recent coup attempt, too, seems to be ready to abandon its pro-Western orientation.
US influence in the region is about to collapse and Moscow finally becomes the leading geopolitical force in the vast region from the Eastern Mediterranean to Pakistan.
Yeah, cause Russia did such a good job fighting for ten years before surrendering and leaving Afghanistan. “Jihadists” cannot be defeated militarily.
I would think Russia’s ten years of failure in Afghanistan would have shown the futility of using military might against “jihadists”.
Good job, Hillary!

As Cavepainter said the mechanical glockenspiels are multiplying. I counted 27 posts, 12 by one poster. It’s a well known trick to obscure inconvenient commentary. The truth wields a mighty stick so lies need a helping hand against it. Hence all the posts. Take it as a compliment, you must be onto something.
In any case, the Democrats laugh their superior laugh and do their superiority dance, but it’s like Jill Stein sez, nothing that came out of Trump’s blow-hole is as bad as what Hillary’s done.
No, Obama is Bush with heaping helpings of incoherence. Obama’s boys and girls, including Killary, looked at all Dubya’s frat-boy fuck-ups, struck mighty poses, put on the airs of the greatly educated and wise and proceeded to fuck up more.
Obama’s circus clowns come out on TV to pontificate most hilariously about “moderate” Syrian opposition. They say head-slappingly stupid stuff like “we know how to do this”. And Obama and Killary made Putin and Medvedev look like Julius Caesar and Cicero.
I love Dmitry Anatolyevich, but he aint no Cicero:

Comrade wpa_ccc! You are MORE than human! You are a valuable agit-prop asset for BB and Oceania! I have glorious news for you.
Because of your tireless work and saturation posting, CFN has been purged and cleansed of White Identity crimethink! Thoughtcriminals, like Janos and JimInFlorida, have been drowned out by the glorious voice of INGSOC!
Your faithful insertion of Ministry of Truth news was praised by BB himself! The standard of living under Obama and Hillary has risen by no less than 20 per cent over the past year. All over Oceania this morning there were irrepressible spontaneous demonstrations when workers marched out of their offices and paraded through the streets with banners voicing their gratitude to Big Brother Obama for the new, happy life which his wise leadership has bestowed upon us.
And NOW we can look forward to a New Morning in Oceania when Hillary is the new Glorious Leader. Quotas will be raised and the happy workers will applaud as Hillary looks down upon them, from every wall, every iPad, and every telescreen.
From water, land and sky, she protects us on every front. To thank Chairwoman Hillary, lets all sing a song for her.
And to YOU, Agent wpa_ccc, you will be awarded the People’s Red Pen for outstanding Agit-Prop insertion and for liberating CFN from White crimethink. Congratulations!

Unless you carry suitcases of cash – and this too can be done – money leaves footprints that small children can follow. For that matter, even bags of cash leave traces.
Now, I said “small children”. I did not say FBI, nor DOJ. After Comey’s monkey-like see-no-evil-email investigation, the FBI and DOJ are void of credibility. Utterly empty as in not a drop. Hillary can reasonably conclude that she can bloody well do as she pleases. And she’d probably be right.
But she’d be right only within limits. Because, much as she may think that President H R Clinton runs things, she’d be wrong. There’s a lot of guys that run their own show in their own corner of the world and she’d better beware of their toes especially if she owes them.
The other thing is this, Hillary is so roundly loathed that you have to think that some of her most seemingly rabid see-no-evil supporters are just in it for themselves. They could give a fuck about Hillary and about “progressive” causes. Too poor to be one of the Oligarch set, they could still be one of the relatively well paid clerisy in service of Hillary and indirectly her Oligarch paymasters. If it came right down to it, this clerisy would sell Hillary out in a minute. Just like she’d sell them out.
Oligarchs ALWAYS look at the price tag. Money in anyone’s pocket but their own they see as a searing injustice. But time is limited so they have to be practical about it. Some things need to get done and so some money needs to be dispensed. But no matter how much the Oligarch pays, to the Oligarch it’s still dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
The point is that there’s a lot of hangers-on and enablers in the racketeering bizness. Politics is crawling with them.
V.,
Agreement on everything here except for your belief that suitcases and bags of money always leaves footprints and traces.
Maybe it does/they do because that (leaving footprints, traces and evidence) is for pikers and rank amateurs.
So I ask you to consider the humble pallet. It was suggested that some 17 billion U.S. dollars were flown into Iraq in the initial months following the conquest of the country in 2003 and that cash went disappeared in a hurry. Without a trace and no accountability. Nice work if you can get it right?
Think about the “Money Meltdown” of 2008 engineered by some of the world’s mightiest Economics Phds and assorted other Bankster thieving bastards. Henry Paulson, then U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, told the government a few things that needed to be done or monetary and economic Armageddon was on its way. The result of this was the now infamous Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Check it out all 700 BILLION US dollars of it. Even Chairman of the Federal Reserve at the Time, Ben “SHalom-Suckers” Bernanke told a congressional committee (can you feel the Bern in this famous exchange?!) just where to put it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id04EMU6OIw
Then of course is the mother of all known American monetary magic acts. I saw an article that says over the last couple of decades that the Pentagon, yes our protectors of the U.S.A. in the form of the Department of Defense, have made about 6 TRILLION U.S. dollars to become lost somewhere in the bowels of the Puzzle Palace. That’s a few bucks anyway you slice it.
Maybe the Aliens got it?

Last week I dropped into my local library to suggest that they acquire JHK’s latest novel, The Harrows of Spring. To my great surprise they already had it and it was on hand and available for loan. I took it out and, over the course of 4 days, read it. All in all an action-packed yarn and fitting conclusion to his 4-part World Made by Hand series with all the loose ends tied up in a neat bow. It is a quick and easy read…317 pages, 75 mostly short chapters.
Curiously, I noted that the word harrow never appears in the novel. (My Random House Dictionary says a harrow is “an agricultural implement with spikelike teeth or upright disks, drawn chiefly over plowed land to level it, break up clods, root up weeds, etc.” but a secondary definition, and the one Jim, no doubt, had in mind is “to disturb keenly or painfully; distress the mind, feelings, etc.” as in a harrowing experience.)
If Jim was ever a “progressive,” by the time you reach the end of this novel you will be assured of his complete aversion to socialism and conversion to sensible hard-money capitalism.
As the spelling, language and usage pedant of CFN who has so often annoyed our host enough to be banned as “a self appointed school marm,” I was greatly amused by a scene on page 98 of the novel where a virulently left-wing group from the Berkshires in nearby Massachusetts tries to pass off on the people of Union Grove, NY a scheme for use of their own money, a red ink on paper currency, in exchange for silver. A scrolled banner at the top of these notes said Berkshire Peoples Republic. Union Grove mayor, Robert Earle, immediately advised them, to their embarrassment and dismay, of the missing apostrophe in People’s.
Although the novel is less than perfect on a couple of scores — e.g. (1) ten or more failures of proofreading resulting in missing words or the doubling up of words such as “the the” and (2) the overuse throughout the book of the word “stole” as in the shadows ‘stole’ across the landscape as the sun set in the west — one could easily imagine it as a movie or a TV mini-series.
Does the Leader of the Berkshire People’s Republic resemble Ozone? Is Mr Kunstler “mining” us for literary treasure? If so, do we have any recourse a la the royalties?

No, dannyboy, that role went to Janos, but you are still in consideration for the role of the nebbish….

Some musings on this week’s topic;
One could equate the hunt with survival, more so in the distant past.
Today, money is survival. So the hunt and money have interconnections, even though these may be somewhat murky and abstract.
One could take the view that agriculture and the hunt are the most fundamental of underlying assets. In financial markets today, with derivatives on top of derivatives, CDOs, CDOs squared, cubed, etc., credit default swaps, etc., we move further and further away from the underlying assets like “real” money, or corn or wheat or silver, or land, etc.
So one would think people in those markets move further and further away from the hunt. But no. They hunt in a jungle of their own, and what they hunt is money. The bigger the kill, the bigger the thrill.
it is all about the ‘thrill’
most have too much money to care about more

“…we threw a piece of the sun at them-twice”. Nice effect and I get your point, but technically not true. Sun is fusion, A-bombs then were fission.
What are they now?
Is not the arroyo a fit metaphor for what is happening to our society? If only we could all find a Kiva like Union Grove, a Willoughby were a Man can take full measure.
I’m not up to date on the nuclear arsenal, so I’m guessing that the bombs are still of both varieties, A and H, as we knew them back when. Fission and fusion. I do know that “smart”, or perhaps even “smarter”, nukes are being developed. Pinpoint accuracy and in flight adjustable yields? Wow!
Forget the arroyos. Find the hoodoos and the canyons. Bathe under a starry sky or a full moon’s glow, while the wind whistles and the coyotes howl.
And never forget. Coyote waits. Coyote always waits.
I said earlier this week that you should stay tuned for a detailed essay on how the misuse of the word “grow” as a transitive verb acting on inanimate objects got started. Well, I will have to break that promise and give an abbreviated version.
Around 1987 Paul Hawken wrote a book titled Growing a Business. It sold very well, and the title is the first use of “grow” in this way that I know of. Bill Clinton apparently thought the misuse of grow was clever, so he started spouting “we will grow the economy” over and over during the 1992 campaign. He got elected.
Grow should either be used as an intransitive verb: the business grows rapidly.
Or grow should be a transitive verb acting on things that are alive and growing: the farmers in Iowa grow corn.
The 1956 edition of Merriam Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, 2nd Ed. is my source.
It is as absurd to say “I plan to grow my business” as it would be to say General Motors grows cars, or I want to grow a new house.
Of course, if we did not worship endless growth, Clinton’s “growing the economy” slogan would not have earned him so much political success.
i thought i’d comment as an act of encouragement
…because this topic is a real Conversation Stopper.
You are so right on this “grow the business” crap sprawlcapital. Other annoying verbiage such as ” at the end of the day… going forward…it is what it is” is just more nonsense, Everything is just so wrong. It’s insane. Thanks JHK for keeping it in front of us. Rant rant rant.

This election campaign will undoubtedly go down in history as the pinnacle of political cynicism, but particularly impressive is demonstration of the unity of the Democratic Party, in opposition to split of the Republican Party.
Unity in the Democratic Convention in 2016 left far behind the trial of the instigators of the Reichstag Fire, but Hillary Clinton is not going to stop there. Without further ado, she immediately after the Convention has tried to win the election without any of these stupid things such as voting at the polling stations. Accusing Trump of inappropriate for a candidate for US president sympathies to Russia and Putin, she tried to just take off her only rival in the elections, if she can not send him to prison or a concentration camp.
She immediately tried to find fault in Trump attempt to turn to Russia asking to find and publish those 30 thousand letters that a person without a definite occupation Hillary Clinton removed from her private server used by her in the Secretary of State office to hide from state control US government correspondence.
By law, such actions of government officials are a crime, and in the so-called Servergate it almost became an occasion to withdraw Hillary Clinton from election. But when she mysteriously twisted out of this sling as a snake pinned to the ground, she immediately blamed Trump and Putin for everything.
In this sense, she acts as an artist-postmodernist, who is not just trying to build an alternative reality, but denies the actual reality as such. In this, she went even further than her predecessors and did say that the vote count is more important than voting. She did not count the votes in California at all (!) And we can only wonder that the resulting vote was enough to announce her as nominee on the “legitimate” grounds.
California is a very large state and 87% of the votes in California would give her the necessary minimum of pledged delegates, but apparently she was in the mood for contemplation of crying Sanders when he will nominate her by acclamation, and did not want to deprive herself of such exquisite pleasure, impudently drawing herself 87% of the California vote.
“blamed Trump and Putin for everything.”
The Technical term is “Patsy” or “Fall Guy”. These guys set themselves up.

Honestly, when I first witnessed such a prayer, I was shocked, but then I realized that’s not for me to judge them, as it is this prayer is the channel through which the writings affect the readers. I have no other explanation for what is happening. The words could not explain it; you could only take them to the church, where they will be met by an American priest, loyal to the US government more than President Obama.
Still, the link is working and that’s why Hillary Clinton wants to ban these prayers!

The Story Behind Days of Elijah – Robin Mark
“I have had quite a few people asking me for an explanation of the roots and meaning of the words and themes contained in “Days of Elijah” since I wrote the song way back in 1994.
The song is generally and principally a song of ‘hope’.”

dannyboy,
Mildly intrigued, I clicked.
Marines selecting a song of such blatant expressions of fealty to and belief in a sky-ghost and the phantasm’s supposed diktats screams, “Gott Mit Uns”. Of course, I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was to make this part of the repertoire, but covering highly-trained killers in the cloak of gawdly righteousness is the height of cognitive dissonance. (Should help on the battlefield however; knowing you’re doing gawds butchery for him is always a nice motivator.)
Ah, the blood-drenched splendor; I’ve been fervently praying for these days of massive murder all my deluded life! Inshallah and Huzzah!

Pucker, your question is a good one. How long will it take before those ethnic groups you reference collectively understand that Hillary doesn’t give two shits about them and that, in fact, Hillary and her backers are out to exploit them?
Cooter and Buzz and the ethnic group THEY represent – blue collar Whites – are onto it. Other Whites, those being higher on the income ladder but seeing the peril in front of them, voted for Bernie. They too are waking up to it.
It’s not just in the U.S. You see it also in Europe, for example with the Brexiters and their one finger salute and in Marine Le Pen’s support and other political movements.
As Peggy Noonan sez, the American and European upper classes impose the costs of globalization on those below them on the economic pyramid and clothe themselves in mantles of virtue for doing so all the while deploring those below them for daring to object to the imposition. The gall of it.
As Messianic Druid sez, “uneducated” doesn’t mean stupid. It doesn’t take a degree to see that you have no money that your job pays shit, that every year your situation gets worse.
And “educated” doesn’t mean smart. If “education” serves to blind people to the obvious, then whacking huge tuition costs and a piece of paper that sez bachelor of this or that are all for nothing.
Coming out of university and witlessly supporting an unsustainable political and economic system is for less than nothing. It is a criminal racket that destroys families.
Pequiste, of course you’re right, cash leaves fewer traces than electronic transactions. But cash is a red flag in transactions and leaves footprints if somebody eventually dumps the money in a bank. A bank can spot patterns of unusual deposits.
People can turn into regular chatterboxes if a government agent flashing a badge starts asking questions and starts threatening indictment. What if they ask who gave you the money sir? Are you going to lie?
Of course, if the people involved are “connected” then law enforcement suddenly becomes blind. Nope, nothing to see here folks, move along. Haven’t seen that recently have we?
WRT the pallets of billions that melted away, as long as the PTB intended it, nobody goes to jail. Same with all the magic acts to bail out Wall Street’s ass. It’s pretty clear that Hillary is immune to prosecution. The PTB can bring themselves to not see yard-deep muck of criminal intent even if it sucks off their boots. But following the money is still a useful exercise to see what’s going on.
This comes back to “question authority”. First of all to see if it is legitimate, then whether it is exceeding it’s limits.
You should be asking the questions, not answering them.
SteveO makes excellent points. The younger generation is clueless as to the quality of life in the 1970s and prior. That’s the way the PTB want it and that’s why history is so sparingly taught. Down the memory hole it goes.
What takes its place is a Big Brother re-write. The say, especially in institutions of – ahem – higher learning, the bad old days were rotten. The – cough – “educators” confidently and sneeringly tell us that depictions of life like in “Leave it to Beaver” or “Ozzie and Harriet” were TV-Land fantasy.
Except it wasn’t TV Land fantasy because there’s still people alive like myself that can attest to it. I did a fair bit of travelling, I saw a fair bit, we had relatives and friends hither and yon. The way of life as depicted in those supposedly fantastical TV shows was actually widely enjoyed by ordinary folks like us.
And so, the degradation in ordinary people’s living standards, starting with Black people, is real. The difference in how people live as compared to the 1970s is like night and day. If people talk about the Third-World-ization of the United States, it’s because life for a huge swathe of Americans is going down the drain.
In the days of my youth a single working class wage – like my own father’s – supported a family – like ours – in a house, with a car and telephone and TV. Nowadays a single working class wage is a ticket to homelessness.

Reliance of the Traveler (p. 746 – 8.2) – “Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible (N:i.e. when the purpose of lying is to circumvent someone who is preventing one from doing something permissible), and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory… it is religiously precautionary in all cases to employ words that give a misleading impression…
Reliance of the Traveler is a classic of Islamic Law, a veritable manual for the observant Muslim. The parallels and similarities between Islam and Judaism are amazing when it comes to how they deal with the truth and unbelievers.
There’s an Arabic word for what Pinsky does in particular. He’ll do his best not to technically lie, but without telling the truth either. He loves that. For example “I don’t have a penny in my pocket” would usually be taken to mean that the person has no money on him or at least very little. Minsky would say this with satisfaction if he was carrying hundreds but had no actual pennies in his pocket.
You got a friend named Pinsky?
…surprises me.
You’re going to Pinsk? Lie! You’re only saying that so I think you’re going to Minsk!
One aspect of the rioting that has faded into obscurity is, in some respects, the most important: the savage killing of Dr. Melville Edelstein. He was a social worker who had devoted his life to helping blacks. Although the apartheid regime is today denounced as practically “Nazi,” it had put a Jewish man in charge of welfare in Soweto. His PhD thesis was called “What Young Africans Think.”
The 57-year-old Edelstein could easily have survived the riot; he got word of the violence and drove away. However, he decided to turn back and make sure a young white social worker, Pierrette Jacques, was safe. She was warned in time and had escaped, but Edelstein was cornered by a black mob and murdered. His killers then hung a sign around his neck saying, “Beware, Afrikaans is the most dangerous drug for our future.”
In a recent TV documentary on Edelstein’s life, a lawyer close to the South African Communist Party, George Bizos, explains that if the rioters “had known who Edelstein was, they would not have killed him.” But do rioters pause to consider whom they are killing? Mr. Bizos continues:
The crowd returning from being witnesses to a cold-blooded murder of one their number, . . . they didn’t know that he was really their friend rather than their enemy, and this is what happens when unjustified violence is used, particularly by the police.
Janos here again: So the Police were to blame! How familiar. They’re in control now though so all this is a thing of the past? By no means: Blacks riot every day against White power, institutions, or let’s just say it, Civilization in general.
Did Jews learn from this horrible incident or ones like it? By no means: they remain passionately committed to the destruction of Western Civilization via the use of Black and Brown savages. People like Dr Edelstein are apparently acceptable collateral damage in the Jewish Jihad.

Yeah, in SA, the author of ‘Cry, My Beloved Country’, had passed on by the time whites lost control and he could see the results of his work, but his wife was around. I believe a ANC mob broke into her compound and beat her to death.

Right on. At one point, a couple exchange glances and the dreadful, painful realization blooms; the man can’t support his family. For awhile, sex will substitute for money, but eventually the marriage goes. The family is broken. As may be the nation.
Destruction of the Family is by design by the Evil-Fuckers-In-Charge.
Destruction of the Middle Class and the Family are key components of the “New Society” (civilization) that is being constructed by the NWO.
Cue Georgia Guidestones for guidelines.
For their (Evil-Fuckers-In-Charge) betterment and improved rulership.
All human males are being developed into drones, criminals or useless eaters. Females are developed onto drones (workers) or less frequently breeders; due to being more easily manipulated than full raging hormone aggressive males ( think Yzlamik male hordes invading Europe.)
Current “Working class” pay is just enough to maintain the status quo without causing a serious rebellion reaction.
The sex as “substitute for money” never really works as there is never a suitable substitute for either sex or money.
Both stand on their own as perhaps the MOST important factors of the current construct of Human civilization. Curious as how the most important human biological function(sex) was subsumed under money and the sweet balm of money metamorphosed into the sole criteria for success in the the world.
This will certainly change in a “World Made By Hand” (thanks JHK.)… you can take that to the Bank boys and girls!!!

Talk about Instant Karma!
I’d just recommended Econned and elysianfield got a copy. So I kinda’ got ‘repaid’.
Here’s an idea for CFN that Kunstler would approve. How about we all become cooperative and help each other out. You know, share.
That would be in accordance with Kunstler’s POV.
JHK has been trying to get people to relocalize themselves and prepare for the time when their life horizon will seldom go beyond 10 miles from home.
I’d like to see School districts reintroduce 4H and FFA clubs and congruent agriculture classes that allow the students to integrate their club activities and academics together.
In addition, I’d like to see schools with arable land currently used for school sports to be converted to row crops and chicken coops! This would teach kids where their food comes from. I was fortunate to have an active 4H club and a school yard farm where we grew row crops of all kinds. When it was time for harvest, most of it went to the school cafeteria! There would be a little card that said these peas, beans, squash, etc. were grown in our own field! That was in the early 1970’s. Last time I checked, that field has long since been paved over…
The cooperation must begin with our educational institutions before it can become part of our local lives and prepare us for what’s coming.
That is ambitious.
How about we begin with a Book Discussion?
Remembering five victims that appeared in the path of Hillary Clinton in the last month alone
The first was Victor Thorn, author of books critical of the Clinton family. He created a series about this couple, including the trilogy “The Sex Volume”, “The Drugs Volume” and “The Murder Volume”. His last work was the work of “The Coronation of Clinton. Why Hillary should not be in the White House.”
Thorne wrote that Bill and Hillary have made Arkansas, where they began their journey, into the center for cocaine trade. He counted more than 130 people killed by the gangs associated with the Clinton family.
The journalist led the fight against the presidential couple to the end, did a lot of writing on the Internet, as a blogger. Two weeks ago he was found shot dead near his house in the mountains.
“Suicide”, – concluded the police.
Less than a day after, Sean Lucas, the lawyer who dealt with the case of fraud in the Democratic Party leadership was killed. He was tolerated as long as it is until confronting the Secretary of the Democratic Party Wasserman Schultz with charges of cheating in the primaries. The thing smelled of trial, and the patience of Hillary supporters was exhausted. The next day, Lucas moved to the better world without leaving the bathroom in his apartment.
“Cause of death is unknown”, – stated the police.
The Clintons know many, many people. Statistically, a lot of them should have died. I wonder if anyone has done some type of actuarial analysis to see if the number of deaths is really out of whack. I, too, know a lot of people and a number of them have died over the years. I don’t remember, however, killing any of them.
What about Dead Bankers? Odd series of deaths among bankers.
To smear Hillary you are willing to stand up for the bankers!
A curse on both Hillary and her friends, the banksters.
If any legitimate bankers were greased by Clinton Crime Family operatives, they were probably the ones ready to spill the beans on Bill and Hillary.
Your usual misdirection. Died under mysterious circumstances is the operative clause. How many people do you know like that?

I don’t know what the problem is, wpa. EVERYTHING Trump said in your list is either correct, needed to be publicly said, or represents suppressed anger FORBIDDEN to be expressed by the Jewish media.
Only slight comments need to be said on specific comments listed.
Regarding #7, the debunking is technically correct. It was JEWISH MOSSAD operatives who rejoiced that the terror event went off and that Israel would be the primary beneficiary.
#13 and #18,,,, that WAS cheezy pandering to blocs who won’t vote for him anyway. Hopefully, he will finally pander to a lost and anomic Silent Majority.
#27 Trump HAS to put the Jewish NGO’s on notice that he is NOT cowed by them and is ready for political nuclear war by publicly quoting their own malevolent views of the White Goy. All Trump has to do is QUOTE the Talmud’s slanderous opinion of Jesus Christ, Mary, and anybody else who is not Jewish.
#34 He was extremely understated and generous towards McCain.
#36 Trump could clarify things and illustrate how Hillary’s cowardly handling of Erdogan caused ISIS to grow into the cancer that it became. Obama could have done something about it but refused to because they are Wahhabi Muslims.
#37 What’s wrong with a white supremacist campaign chairman? You wouldn’t complain if Hillary chose an openly militant LGBTQ campaign chairman!!!
“I wonder if anyone has done some type of actuarial analysis”
Actuarial my ass.
Sergei Markov, the spokesman for one of the Kremlin Towers, in an interview given to Israeli channel, which should be called “Judeo-Bandera TV”, quite seriously argues that there is a planned joint operation of Russian and US Special Forces, during which all the Ukrainian government will be arrested, all the commanders of the territorial battalions, and taken to the German city of Nuremberg, where they will appear before the tribunal and hanged for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Well, I think, that’s it! I have hearing hallucinations. But I go on the internet and found it!
olympics almost over here in brazil, actually went better than we’d expected.
still, the typical south american pathologies on display, lots of muggings of tourists and some athletes (not that swimmer ryan), shoddy facilities, no security outside of the olympic village and little within it (security personnel caught multiple times not even checking badges etc)
i’m personally looking for a house in preferably south/southwest florida to rent for 2-3 months just to take a break from this hyperdangerous place i live in and relax in a safe anglo-saxon-dominated environment with respect for the law

Not by PC, but by McCarthyism and Democratic Party turning into National Socialist party.
Complete nonsense. The Democratic Party has turned into a homegrown form of Communism. Hopefully, Trump’s Republicanism will turn in a National Socialist direction.
Finc, I think you have a misunderstanding of National Socialism vs the Democrat Party.
Unlike the real Democrat Party of FDR and Organized Labor, the Democrat Party since 1972 became a rat’s nest of New Leftism. The deep core under it is Jewish and of the Frankfurt School. It is the ideology of the cancer cell.
National Socialism is, by its name, an ideology that promotes the ORGANIC representation of the Nation-State; which must be Nativist. To preserve the White populations, there must be a clearly dominant political and economic order that attends to the cultural needs of Whites first. Enabling them to feel secure enough to reproduce and invest in the system. Since the old medieval kings are not available to protect the Commons from Jews, Muslims, and other pests, a nativist-oriented Socialism is believed to be the best guardian. Hence, National Socialism.
That is NOTHING like what the Democrats have to offer!!!
boys, boys!
see this is the reason i don’t discuss Politics.
Well, I think, that’s it! I have hearing hallucinations
The UN was originally created so by armed force to stop the existence of the Nazi states like the current Ukraine, but first some people in US will have to take a ride in a special chair…. In general, a lot of that has to happen first. And here again, War and Peace and all at he same time!!!
I really do not know what to think.
National Socialism is, by its name, an ideology that promotes the ORGANIC representation of the Nation-State — Jim
National Socialism is, by its true nature and historic implementation in the Third Reich, is an ideology that promotes he welfare of the exceptional Race or Nation at the expense of the inferior Races and Nations.
In other words, the Internal Social Policies of Bernie Sanders in conjunction with the foreign policies of Hillary Clinton.
Nice try but, Sanders and Hillary are NOT National Socialists by 20th century standards.
Both Sanders and Hillary are internationalists and neo-feudal corporate imperialists. The internal social policies of Bernie were common boilerplate populism. Nothing wrong with that but, he wasn’t making any demands to systematically unravel all Immigration Laws going back to the 1965 Immigration Reform Act. Bernie was a weak voice for the New Deal and did a disservice to it by his feckless campaign.
Hillary is a straight up warmonger on behalf of Israel, global corporations, and the Washington Consensus. Hillary is all about predatory capitalist imperialism, whether by war, fraud, lies, blackmail, murder, etc. to steal wealth.
National Socialism, left to itself, is inward looking and capable of generating wealth internally; without the need of private banks. German aggression in the 1930’s arose from Bolshevist threats and not by any economic need.
Words, words, words…. Where is the money, dude?
For example, Jill Stein in a recent Green Party town hall made a suggestion that Federal Reserve should buy $1.3 trillion of the US student debt by issuing additional dollars and buying aforementioned debt from the private banks.
I don’t know if you realize it or not, but this a very good example of conducting a Nazi policy in Finance, by printing the money into the pockets of the exceptional American students at the expense of the youth of the third world Nations who won’t be able to afford the higher education since their Nations will lose substantial amount of their National dollar reserves thanks to the Fed policy.
Finc, you keep missing the ORGANIC power of National Socialism. In other words, unless National Socialism is reflected in the SOCIAL FABRIC and the CULTURE, it is not National Socialism (NS).
At best, Jill Stein is echoing boilerplate populism. However, she dares not summon the NS that awakens White Christian awareness, which was well-known up to the mid-20th century. Your assertion that Jill Stein’s suggestion to refinance student loan debts at 0.75% is not NS but, a repudiation of a toxic and predatory lending system. We cannot destroy our future workforce for the sake of questionable debt contracts.
NS would nationalize the banks, triage their debts, and reissue debt-free money! College would be cheap for those worthy to attend college… HINT… not very many are college material. Therefore, to base a national economy solely on the college educated is a folly. Better to protect and reward skilled labor which can create wealth or maintain it. Labor-time itself must be paid FIRST. We have too many college grads, whose education is of questionable value and there are too few jobs for them anyway.
As for 3rd World students, they should be glad that we will no longer be funding or meddling in their school system! The American Education system is worthless as it is!!! American Higher Education was in a crisis condition in the 1980’s and superbly diagnosed by Dr. Alan Bloom in his book, “The Closing Of The American Mind.” .American education at all levels is now a rotting carcass that feeds only the vultures.
boys, boys!

President Trump’s motorcade was physically attacked yesterday.
they’ve crossed the line, and need to be met with appropriate force

Here’s an interesting meditation on wearing Trump ware as a political act.
http://www.counter-currents.com/2016/08/take-the-trumpwear-challenge/
You haven’t heard about it because it didn’t happen. Breitbart lies is all it is. “Leftists and Mexicans…” blah blah blah
Oh, and did you hear (from Breitbart): “Hillary could drop out of the race as early as tomorrow!” (more Breitbart lies)
Once Trump is elected, folks, there is nothing we can do. Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.
Every Southerner, black and white, knows exactly what Trump was suggesting when he said the “Second Amendment people” know what to do and the “Second Amendment people” may do the same to Trump.
Here’s an interesting meditation on wearing Trump ware [wear] as a political act.
============================
I soon realized that you meant clothing, but like a kid I tend to take things literally, and at first visualized someone walking around with a Trump brand skillet or sauce pan on a cord around their neck. Or maybe a plastic container, like Tupperware.
Sorry, Janos. I’m not trying to bully you. We have an entity here, or a team of operatives, which is/are all too good at that.
Janos,
It was not my intent to imply that it is even possible for you to be bullied. As for myself, it is possible–but only in the early stages. Then I figure out what is going on.

…you just make shit up?
I find solace in the US becoming less and less a place worth caring about. The people, the culture, the politics, the built environment, the arts, the economy, the reputation, the foreign policy, the immigrants. The taller our national trash heap of a country the less distance for the sky to fall.
When Hillary is elected we will begin to behave much more like Iceland, where concern with “me” is replaced by concern with “we” … where the first democratically elected woman president took office, where the only bank that did not lose money was a woman-owned bank, where male bankers who caused the crash were tried, sentenced, and imprisoned.
Sorry, but I have to admit to some skepticism. I mean, did those white male bankers hire the Icelandic woman president to give speeches for lucrative speaking fees?
The Icelandic Bankers received prison sentences.
wpa-danny (the same troll, thanks for pointing that out, Frankiti) —
You miss the point, which is how can Hillary put bankers in jail when they have given her so much money in speaking fees?
You do portray her loyal character. Not the-other-guy.
P.S. Sprawl, do you prefer to ‘meld’ WPA-CCC and I because you have trouble keeping track of more than one person?
That can be helped.

have you considered emigrating?
“I don’t know what the problem is, wpa” –JiminFlorida
Yes, that much is obvious! Think of it this way: Given its vagueness, who among the offended could claim Trump’s apology as their own?
Not U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who, according to Trump, can’t be impartial in the Trump University case because of his Mexican heritage.
Not Serge Kovaleski, the New York Times reporter Trump mocked for having a chronic condition that limits his range of motion.
Not Ghazala Khan, the Gold Star mother who Trump suggested wasn’t allowed to speak publicly because of her Muslim faith.
Not Megyn Kelly, who saw Trump retweeting posts calling her a “bimbo,” and whose tough questions Trump attributed to menstruation.
And not the millions of Mexican immigrants who live in the U.S. and are suspected rapists in the Trump worldview.
By not specifying what he is sorry for, Trump apologizes for everything and nothing at the same time.
Of course, you clipped out part of my opening paragraph. THERE IS NO PROBLEM with Trump’s comments because he is telling the truth or giving voice to the suppressed anger of a beleaguered Silent Majority.
If Trump is guilty of anything is that he has not been sharper and more forceful in his rhetoric. Maybe the vocabulary of a 5th grader is what has saved him, so far. If Trump actually had oratorical skills, he would have been killed by Hillary’s Flying Monkeys long ago.
George Orwell said it best, “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
“he is telling the truth or giving voice to the suppressed anger of a beleaguered…” – JimInFlorida
Justifying his ShitTalk becasue it is expressing the Beleaguered’s anger, is one hell of an excuse.

yes, Trump surely does think millions of mexicans are probably rapists…

CFN, Trump, Trump’s campaign and Trump’s surrogates would be wise to believe the polls when all of them say he’s down. Denial doesn’t win elections. Ask Mr. Romney.
PREDICTIONS FOR A ROMNEY WIN
** Kudlow said on his CNBC show “The Kudlow Report” on Oct. 25: ”I am now predicting a 330 vote electoral landslide.”
** Mitt Romney will carry Ohio and be swept into office by a comfortable margin. –Joe Scarborough
** “In addition to the data, the anecdotal and intangible evidence–from crowd sizes to each side’s closing arguments–give the sense that the odds favor Mr. Romney. They do. My prediction: Sometime after the cock crows on the morning of Nov. 7, Mitt Romney will be declared America’s 45th president. Let’s call it 51%-48%, with Mr. Romney carrying at least 279 Electoral College votes, probably more.” –Karl Rove
** George Will outlined a huge Romney Election Day in an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” predicting a 321-217 landslide that included nearly every swing state including Minnesota.
** ”Bottom line: Romney 315, Obama 223. That sounds high for Romney. But he could drop Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and still win the election. Fundamentals.” –MIcheal Barone
** Electorally it won’t even be that close. Romney will win many states that went to Obama in 2008. I’m predicting Romney victories in Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Virginia, Iowa, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Indiana. I predict a Romney victory by 100 to 120 electoral votes.” –Las Vegas oddsmaker Wayne Allen Root
** “321-217 victory for Romney in the electoral college.” –Glenn Beck
Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s next term should be a jail cell term. We’ll see if the Feds have the guts to put him in prison where he belongs. They ought to make him wear pink in prison…
“If Trump actually had oratorical skills, he would have been killed by Hillary’s Flying Monkeys long ago.” –JIminFlorida
Trump is behind in every poll being taken. The polls are not wrong, but they are not what matters. Electoral votes matter. In that race Trump is even farther behind Clinton.
The Flying Monkeys are content to sit back and watch Trump destroy his own campaign. It is entertaining to watch an idiot loser get his comeuppance, and to see his eager wish to collaborate in his own destruction (a la Breitbart)
FLIP FLOP GOES TRUMP
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump plans to present an immigration plan in Colorado Thursday that will include legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants.
Nope. Sorry Trump. We know what you really believe. You cannot buy votes by changing your position on you core issue by saying you now want to legalize millions of undocumented immigrants. We don’t believe you. Besides, that honor is reserved for the first American woman to be elected president.
LEGALIZE ALL THE MILLIONS OF UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IMMEDIATELY!
A blanket amnesty now!
NO jumping through hoops,
NO getting in the back of the line,
NO 15-year long “pathway” to citizenship!
Ahem, ahem,….just declare it so there can be no uncertainty in anyone’s mind: Immigration laws should be abolished, right? Or maybe be legislated into law by elected representatives as long as they default to however many foreign nationals choose to ignore them, right? That citizenship should not entitle exclusive privileges, right?
Wrong, wrong, and wrong. The amnesty is for those already here who came in the past. Immigration law is for those who want to come here legally in the future. Border patrol is to stop any new people from coming illegally in the present.
Ronald Reagan already played that feckless game of legalizing all illegitimates in order to close the door behind them. All that did was to keep the door open and bring in more, despite protests from We Teh Sheep and legitimate immigrants who had to jump through the hoops.
We have to systematically repeal ALL immigration laws going all the way back to the original 1965 Immigration Reform Act. Go back to where our immigration laws CLEARLY denied entry to 3rd Worlders, fags, freaks, felons, and those with contagious diseases. We already have too much of the aforementioned and are deathly sick from their being here.
With systematic arrests through routine police action and speedy repatriation, there might be a chance ZOG Amerika can stabilize itself, albeit as one suffering a persistent infection that has to run its course.
wpa is a tenured FEMALE Jewish professor of Women’s Studies at Bryn Mawr.
–That is a joke?
I appreciate the direct answer, how about another. Allow me to frame my next question: No one argues that those who’ve come here in violation of our immigration laws did so because prospects here were better than that available in nation of origin. That being granted, my question: Rather than demanding to be accepted as a legitimate force in our national politics why not express “thanks” for the tolerance of the US citizenry, all the benefits and advantages they’ve gained from domicile in our First World Nation, then voluntarily return to theirs’ to just as graciously share all they’ve gained (skills, work experience, education, wealth and familiarity with our advance form of civil government)? Wouldn’t that be tantamount to the service rendered by countless US citizens who’ve volunteered since J. F. Kennedy’s administration to share through the Peace Corps their First World advantages in disadvantaged nation?
Prefatory to another question along this topic line: Contended is that expulsion of illegal aliens will result in “broken families”. Is not this argument an oblique insinuation that national policy should shift responsibility for family cohesion away from the adults in the family (option being to either accompany illegal alien back to nation of origin or not)? In effect, doesn’t this argue to default our immigration laws such that the US citizenry are denied the protection that those laws were legislated by elected representatives to insure?
Tangentially, isn’t it contradictory to argue — on the one hand — that children of illegals who know only life in the US shouldn’t have to face assimilation into the culture of the illegal alien parent’s nation, while — on the other hand — contend the benefits of multiculturalism? Is this not proposing that our laws be ignored or rewritten to displace parental obligation to dutifully “parent” the child’s assimilation into the culture of the parent’s nation of origin?
Just asking.

Brexit wrote a final chapter in the American hegemony in the post-Soviet world and the world in general. London is against US hegemony in the world and it is final and non-negotiable. Is London extremely stupid and made the biggest mistake in its history? I don’t think so.
US Syrian campaign is recognized by London as lost through Brexit, Syrian campaign could have still been reduced to a draw at the diplomatic table, nice and unobtrusively exchanged for something else. But alas, the Kremlin quickly closed the Ukrainian, Kazakh and Armenian plays. US have nothing more to offer for the exchange.
In the United States itself the problem is even more profound: complete inability for political bargaining with foreign players on the planet, a complete lack of strategic vision and ability to objectively evaluate the situation outside of Clinton’s syphilis of Saint Political Correctness of the 90s. The sanctity of the 90s in the United States can not be called into question, as Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion.
There could be no bargaining with Kremlin or Beijing, because our American friends can not understand within their reality, what the conversation is all about. It reminds me of the late USSR: object or phenomenon is already there, but the words to describe it are not and can not be within current US political reality.
Under the London’s sentence recently signed Tehran, not the last player in the Middle East. Could Tehran have provided an air base to Kremlin 4 years ago? Of course it could, but the losers have never been loved in ME, while victory always has a thousand fathers. Tehran certainly wants to play on the winning side of the Syrian conflict, regardless of whether it is US or Russia.
For Tehran, it is not so important, but today, in terms of official Tehran, we know the winner.
Worst of all, our American friends don’t even know that their Syrian operations are being laughed at all over the world. They will probably wait for a polite kick in the ass from the Syrian army. This is the result of 25 years of negative selection of American and global elites, a fundamental problem of the US system of governance.
London, Tehran, China, and Erdogan have already given their votes for Russia in the Syrian conflict. US losing in Syria, will find itself in an awkward position in the Ukrainian conflict. The United States refused to bring to a draw a confrontation with Russia it can no longer win.
At the same time pumping the military confrontation with China, to which Russia is a strong base, the United States will not be able to achieve strategic success there. To win over China the United States need Russia and there is no other choice.
Simple logical combination, but who needs logic when there is Clinton’s Saint Political Correctness of the 90s and forever?
“Clinton’s Saint Political Correctness of the 90s and forever” –finca
First, political correctness is a good thing. Used to be called etiquette, politeness, having good manners, something we taught back in the 1950s.
Second, the Hillary Clinton of the 90s no longer exists. She grows, she learns, she evolves, and she is a dedicated patriot. She is an even better person in the 21st century.
Third, nothing is forever, not even patriarchy. People change, things get better. We will love having a woman as president.
…nothing is forever,,, – ask your alter ego, Danny, diamonds are…
diamonds ARE forever!
P.S. I like that handle DannyDiamonds, I rhink I’ll use it. Thx!
Uh,…again you make reference to patriotism, then immediately confuse its legal construct (oaths of office, allegiance to Constitution and Bill of Rights) with mere notions of decorum “etiquette, politeness, having good manners..”. No question, social behavior is conditioned more by consensus notions of decorum rather than by prelates of church or jurisdictional law, but fortunately PC hasn’t yet fully been pushed into the realm of law. Ministry of Culture anyone? To date, the coastal elites imperiously act as though the Ministry is already a fact.
As always, you are wrong wpa.
Etiquette and good manners are reserved ONLY for those worthy to share in those social graces. ZOG Amerika is such a toilet that even the pretense of good graces in public seems awkward. Or, it could be that I live in a declining part of Flori-Duh that colors my outlook….
Political Correctness is the forced acceptance, at the point of a gun, of undesirables and accommodation of those who make no effort to conform to the rules of polite White Society.
Ask Britain if they enjoyed the despotic reign of MARGARET THATCHER!!! Ask them if they enjoy the cruel legacy of Thatcherism that still plagues them to this day! Heaven forbid she should have EVER troubled the Rothschild Crime Family to pony up a bit more of their ill-gotten gains.
Hillary will be MUCH WORSE than, “Thatcher Thatcher Milk Snatcher!”

And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Instead, it’s peer pressure to abide by a consensus decorum demonstrating respect for oneself and the community at large. It’s the most direct and immediate experience of democracy possible.
Anyone having just vague grasp of anthropology and psychology should know this. So the question: Why has Portland turned such understanding upside down with “keep Portland Weird”?
In Portland, “fitting in” is non-conformance to anything. You don’t “fit in” unless you are “off-the-wall”, perpetuating behavior that gets ever more zanily removed from congeniality.
Weird sloganized to city brand has made Portland, at best, a parade of village idiots, circus clowns, buffoons and the willfully cloddish, but at worse humanized sandwich boards of all things profane and defiled – whether as tattoos, body piercing or T-shirt slogans. Status is thereby accorded by your gross-out effect.
I see it as a carry-over from the 1960s when non-conformance registered as act of social conscience against the “establishment” (institutionalized mind-sets driving the Vietnam war and holding out against social progress).
The non-conformance witnessed today though appears devoid of high purpose – rather a style reflecting the self-absorption of adolescence. Replaced is intellectually weighed actions of Thoreau, Portland instead elevates to folk hero shiftless vagrants who despoil the Springwater Corridor or those who distract with cardboard sign begging at signal light controlled intersections.
It has devolved down to “I want to be different like everybody else”.
The End of an Epoch of Great Political Journalism in the United States
The last of the great US political commentators John McLaughlin has died. Patriarch of political journalism failed to survive the freedom of speech, and died with it.
He began his career as a Catholic Jesuit priest, but became an assistant to Richard Nixon, who fiercely defended him from the attacks of Iron Heel during the Watergate Scandal.
That was him who assembled a group of attorneys that Hillary Clinton against the law did not allow to President Nixon, thus depriving the president of the legal assistance so he fall a victim to Hillary’s deadening gaze and signed his resignation.
Last of his show “McLaughlin group” last Sunday, he spent lying on his deathbed, and after listening to this broadcast, I began to think that he, too, back then in 1970 had a vision a la “The Dead Zone ” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dead_Zone_(film)
, which made him quit a career of a Catholic priest to become a political commentator and speechwriter for Richard Nixon.
This is a recording of a show that made him a patriarch of political journalism in the United States:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaG0744mI_s
As soon as I saw this, I offered up three Hail Marys for his soul.
His reasoning to depart the Catholic priesthood was well founded at the time because of the pollution of Vatican II and the Jews who fed the infection, albeit out of sight. The light of SSPX (Society of Saint Pius X) had not yet reached its power to illuminate lost Catholics and show them the way out of Babylonian Rome.
John McLaughlin was certainly among the last of the great political journalists. Only Pat Buchanan and others of his genre remain, though exceedingly scarce.
When nobody else is left to witness for the fading echoes of the Old Republic is when the the Harpies of Hillary will be fully unleashed. The persecution of White Goy Men and traditional Christians (a tiny remnant already) will even be greater than that of Emperor Julian of the 4th century.
Are you Catholic?
What was wrong with Vatican 2? What was it?
Pope Paul Vl said the Church must open to the world. Since the Church is traditionally called “the Barque of Peter” that ferries us safely over to the other side, opening to the world is tantamount to drilling holes in the hull to let in the ocean.
The Novus Ordo (just like our dollar bill) or Vatican Two is about Man. The Traditional Church was about God. Indeed, the parallels between Pope Francis and Obama are amazing in and of themselves.
david ickes site has stuff about Jesuits.
Ave Julian!
Julian tried to bring the empire and Europe back from the Abrahamic religious virus of the eastern empire. He failed, and the Occident of thought and logic and philosophy and science fell to the dark ages of middle eastern religion.
They are seriously considering reconciliation with Rome. This in itself indicates diabolical disorientation. As did how they treated Bishop Williamson. Archbishop Lefebvre must be turning over in his grave.
At least Bishop Fellay has a fair amount of natural caution. That has saved them up to this point. But even to consider this act is rash to the point of madness. They can’t seem to escape normalcy bias and keep dreaming of a return to the good old days. They can’t accept the Buildings are gone and the catacombs beckon.

Would you care to apologize?
For anybody who thought Bernie Sanders is history. He has just begun to fight. He is takin the fight to Obama and will take it to Clinton or Trump or whoever is our next president.
Today, Bernie Sanders made it clear to the Obama administration that Dr. Michael Califf would not be in charge of the FDA.
Sen. Sanders announced the hold on Califf’s appointment to head the Food and Drug Administration, citing his close ties to the pharmaceutical industry. According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in five Americans — approximately 35 million people — can’t afford to pay for the prescriptions their doctors write for them. And in 2014, Americans collectively spent a record $374 billion on prescription drugs.
“Dr. Califf’s extensive ties to the pharmaceutical industry give me no reason to believe that he would make the FDA work for ordinary Americans, rather than just the CEOs of pharmaceutical companies,” Sanders said in an official statement.

“OPEN LETTER FROM TRUMP
To Whom It May Concern:
….
I’m sorry that I realized too late that all the great put-downs that helped me put away the 16 dwarfs don’t translate well to the general election.
I’m sorry that I’m causing the Republicans to lose control of the Senate and I’m sorry they wish I’d never been born.
I’m really not that sorry to be causing trouble for Paul Ryan, who’s going to lose seats in the House. He’s a prig and I wish he had lost his primary to that tattooed guy who likes me.
I’m sorry I pretended I was going to release my tax returns. Of course I didn’t pay any taxes. I have the all-time greatest real estate deductions and depreciations.
I’m sorry I asked African-Americans “What do you have to lose by supporting me?” in front of a crowd of white people. I’m sorry I can never find my African-American.
I’m sorry I continue lying about my wild gesticulations mocking a disabled reporter at the failing New York Times. And I’m really sorry that Hillary’s super PAC used it in an ad and made me look like an oaf.
I’m sorry I have to sacrifice so much to make America great again. No one would believe the hatred spewed at me on Twitter. It’s amazing how much super-nasty stuff can be packed into 140 characters. Cyberbullying stinks. I’m sorry Al Gore invented the internet.
I’m sorry, given how horribly I’m doing with women, that I need Roger Ailes to help me with the debates and my post-campaign media company. Many people are saying we should call it the “We Only Hire Foxes” network.
I’m sorry I didn’t google Paul Manafort and see that he had more shady Russian connections than a James Bond villain. I’m also sorry I had to cut him loose. He had a lot of experience propping up dictators. But Paul didn’t know how to play the Trumpet. He had these old-fashioned ideas that when I bravely took on the Khans and that rude baby at the rally that I was punching below my weight. And he didn’t appreciate the genius of my taco bowl tweet.
Speaking of tacos, I’m sorry nobody understood why a Mexican judge could not be fair to me because of the wall. Isn’t it obvious why a Mexican-American is the same as a Mexican but a German-Scottish American is a pure American?”

Syrian endgame or Kurdish Checkmate in Three Moves
Putin and Assad in Syria are certainly interested in division of Syria, that is, the ability to reset the Syrian Kurdistan and Sunni area in the vicinity of the Syrian Desert. It’ll give an opportunity to create a compact Alawite State on the Mediterranean coast, plus Damascus area and the foothills of the Golan Heights on the border with Israel.
But, as Putin said in the fall, this option only makes sense to go into negotiations with the major groups interested in a serious Nation-Building. It is impossible to conclude such agreements with a terrorist group such as Islamic State, as they still would continue to attack Latakia and Tartus, supposedly in response to “unprovoked aggression against an independent state”, as Ukraine is doing it now.
And so the first move: Check to the officer ..
Syrian aircraft bombs a little Rojava, in particular the base, where US instructors prepare Kurdish Peshmerga ostensibly for war with ISIS, but in fact to topple Assad.
The second move (return): Hillary covers with her officer:
Top US commander warns Russia, Syria
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/08/21/politics/us-warns-syria-russia-on-attacks/
Third move: Checkmate with a Queen
Lavrov announces that Rojava is de facto protectorate of the United States and Turkey can now all the questions on this issue address to Washington. And Putin promises to convince Assad who is mourning the territorial integrity of Syria, of the need to resolve differences of de facto and de jure.
“all the benefits and advantages they’ve gained from domicile in our First World Nation” –cavepainter
Wrong. Immigrants contribute a net positive. They give much more than they “gain”… removing them will harm the US and would be unpatriotic.
cavepainter, you and others often refer to people who are in the United States without permission from the government as “illegal aliens.”
Calling people “illegals” gives the false impression that they have committed a crime. However, being in the United States without documentation is not a crime. (It is a civil violation of an administrative regulation, not a criminal act.)
In immigration law there is no punishment for illegal presence. (The reason deportation is not punishment is that an 1893 Court decision, Fong Yue Ting vs. United States, still holds.)
Essentially, according to your “reading” (tidbit filtering) of the statues and legal history, any foreign nationals believing advantage awaits them here in the US is entitled (even above our laws and purpose of national sovereignty) to enter at will. My, my,….rather than just sourcing from the internet by search phrase, bother to crawl through the fuller body of judiciary record — not pinch out factoids stripped of context so as to paint your personal bias with the ring of supreme judicial authority. Naughty, naughty. And as to illegal aliens delivering benefits above consequence, uh…..funny how the opinion of the general public has been so overlooked.
I like your style Cavepainter.
The problem lies with the intended recipient of your rebuke.
Trust me nothing ever seems to work – – and as such I have taken Frankiti’s sage recommendation and just not respond to it.
You’er right, of course, but it is fun to joist with the superciliousness of pedants.
“the Occident of thought and logic and philosophy and science fell to the dark ages of middle eastern religion.” –Frankiti
It is hard to know where to start to deconstruct such a display of ignorance. The Golden Age of Arabic science was 800-1100. If it wasn’t for Islam, there wouldn’t be western science. In early Islamic philosophy, logic played an important role. The Muslim world was the beacon of innovation and triggered Europe’s Renaissance and Enlightenment periods.
The level of anti-Islamic bigotry on CFN is off-the-charts. And y’all are confusing civil government in an Islamic country with the religion of the country.
Compare women’s rights in Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Both are Islamic but, because of civil government, freedom of women is restricted in Saudi Arabia and is not restricted in Tunisia. In fact, Muslim Tunisia is more advanced than the USA when it comes to rights of women. By law 50% of elected assemblies has to be women in Tunisia. I doubt we will ever get there.
And that law, that 50% of elected assemblies have to be women, was instituted by male Muslim politicians.
When it comes to women in positions of political power, Muslim countries are far more advanced than the USA. Here many people oppose a woman named Clinton becoming president. The USA has yet to elect ANY woman as president.
Not so in Muslim countries. Muslim female leaders are former prime minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto (served 1988-1990 and 1993-1996), Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri (elected 2001), former Turkish Prime Minister Tansu Ciller (served 1993-1995), former Senegalese President Mame Madior Boye (elected 2001), Bangladeshi Prime Ministers Begum Khaleda Zia (served 1991-96 and 2001–06) and Sheikh Hasina Wajed (first elected in 1996), former Iranian vice president Masoumeh Ebtekar (served from 1997 to 2005), Malian president Cissé Mariam Kaïdama Sidibé (elected in 2011), current President of Kosovo Atifete Jahjaga (elected in 2011), and current President of Mauritius Bibi Ameenah Firdaus Gurib-Fakim (elected in 2015).
Is this another convenient fly-over on your part? Yes, as admiring of Western’s achievements in philosophy and logic were the Muslim scholars, in practice they were forbidden, regarding the Koran, from applying the analytical principles contained.
That didn’t take long.

I think Jim should consider writing an end-of-summer essay. Discuss how, perhaps, he has maybe heard the first whispers of Autumn in upper New York State; how the vegetables are looking prior to harvest; perceptions of trends concerning the low-key or outrageous freak show that he encounters when he travels to town or the “Big City.”
And then again he might make it bi-partite and could include some commentary addressing both the content and tone of the blog and also throw some general observations on his participant commentary section.
What ever JHK shall decide, and I’m sure he is getting his keyboard piping-hot for Monday’s missive, I’ll eagerly anticipate its usual morning publishing and will devour it whole. And then hope to have something salient, sarcastic, cynical, hilarious or ironic to contribute in the comment section as many of the participants have along the way adding to the quality of the debate (irrespective of those-who-shall-remain- unmentioned.)
“also throw some general observations on his participant commentary section” – pequiste
Kunstler doesn’t read the Comments much.
Since peak oil used to be a central theme of CFN, I thought I’d let you know there is a new book on the life of Hubbert, “The Oracle of Oil”
by Mason Inman.
In 1956, while working for the Royal Dutch Shell oil company, Hubbert calculated that conventional oil production in the continental United States would peak in the late 1960s, with a global peak a few decades later.
That provocative prophecy mired Hubbert’s later ideas and career in controversy. His work as a scientist for the U.S. Geological Survey was further complicated by his political views and involvement in the technocracy movement, which argued that technical experts should control governments and industries.
Even today, Hubbert’s critics and supporters still debate his oil forecasts. Inman continues his story beyond Hubbert’s 1989 death and discusses the recent boom in oil and gas production in the United States.
Hubbert’s critics contend that this production uptick, thanks in part to technologies such as fracking and horizontal drilling, undermines Hubbert’s assumption that new techniques wouldn’t significantly boost production.
Hubbert’s supporters, however, warn that oil and gas companies are racking up billions of dollars in debt to squeeze every last extractable drop of oil out of the ground and that production could peak by 2020.
“We’re setting ourselves up for a major fiasco,” Tad Patzek, an earth scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, tells Inman.
Inman paints a well-researched, well-written portrait of a driven and gifted scientist who stood up to politicians and oil conglomerates alike. The Oracle of Oil provides a compelling perspective on what Hubbert might have called society’s fossil fuel folly.

NATIVE AMERICANS OFFER AMNESTY TO 260 MILLION ILLEGAL WHITE EUROPEANS
At a meeting on Friday in Taos, New Mexico, Native American leaders weighed a handful of proposals about the future of the United State’s large, illegal European population. After a long debate, NANC decided to extend a road to citizenship for those without criminal records or contagious diseases.
“We will give Europeans the option to apply for Native Citizenship,” explained Chief Sauti of the Nez Perce tribe. “To obtain legal status, each applicant must write a heartfelt apology for their ancestors’ crimes, pay an application fee of $5,000, and, if currently on any ancestral Native land, they must relinquish that land to NANC or pay the market price, which we decide.
“Any illegal European who has a criminal record of any sort, minus traffic and parking tickets, will be deported back to their native land. Anybody with contagious diseases like HIV, smallpox, herpes, etc, will not qualify and will also be deported.”
European colonization of North America began in the 16th and 17th centuries, when arrivals from France, Spain and England first established settlements on land that had been occupied by native peoples. Explorers Lewis & Clark further opened up western lands to settlement, which ultimately led to the creation of the Indian reservation system.
Despite the large number of Europeans residing in the United States, historical scholars mostly agree that indigenous lands were taken illegally through war, genocide and forced displacement.
Despite the council’s decision, a Native American group called True Americans lambasted the move, claiming amnesty will only serve to reward lawbreakers.
“They all need to be deported back to Europe,” John Dakota from True Americans said. “They came here illegally and took a giant crap on our land. They brought disease and alcoholism, stole everything we have because they were too lazy to improve and develop their own countries.”

Hey wpa-ccc, how far back do you plan to take this reverse engineering of history to attain justice?

TRUMP BEGINS HIS PIVOT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A senior aide to U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump signaled a possible shift in his hardline immigration policies on Sunday, saying his plans to deport 11 million people who are in the country illegally were under review.
There will be no wall built on the border.
There will be no deportation of immigrants.
There will be no ban on Muslims entering the country.
There will be no Trump presidency. Hillary will win.
I remember all too well how Obama “pivoted” from his 2008 campaign promises! He betrayed his followers completely and then screwed them.
Trump is the manifestation of the same psy-op but, flavored for Republicans.
“July wasn’t just hot — it was the hottest month ever recorded, according to NASA. And this year is likely to be the hottest year on record.
Fourteen of the 15 hottest years have occurred since 2000, as heat waves have become more frequent, more intense and longer lasting. A study in the journal Nature Climate Change last year found that three of every four daily heat extremes can be tied to global warming.
This map provides a glimpse of our future if nothing is done to slow climate change. By the end of the century, the number of 100-degree days will skyrocket, making working or playing outdoors unbearable, and sometimes deadly. The effects on our health, air quality, food and water supplies will get only worse if we don’t drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions right away.” –NYT

TRUMP TAX PLAN WILL INCREASE WEALTH GAP
Imagine a country where 1% own almost all of the wealth and power. And the other 99% are so brainwashed, they fight to keep it that way.
Bill and Hillary amplified Reaganomics and laid the groundwork for Lord Bush and Viceroy Cheney to do what they did. Obama faithfully carried on the ZOG agenda as well, as will Hillary.
At least Trump is telling us what we want to hear. He will be less damaging than HIllary.
“At least Trump is telling us what we want to hear.” – JimInFlorida
well, no
He won’t be winning ANY elections.
But there is a sliver of insight in this. I now see that there are Trump supporters. I am very interested in the number voting for Trump. This will be a good gauge of how many disenfranchised live in this country.
TRUMP CONTINUES SABOTAGE OF HIS CAMPAIGN BY CHOOSING BACHMANN
Michelle Bachmann is already on Trump’s anti-LGBT Evangelical advisory board. Apparently, she’s done so well in her role there that she’s gotten a promotion to a position not only dangerous to America but the rest of the world as well.
Among the vast collection of stupidity that composes 100 percent of her congressional career, she had a few truly wonderful foreign policy gems.
She said that the Muslim brotherhood infiltrated and “influenced” the U.S. government.
She thinks the U.S. has a secret agenda to do away the dollar and embrace one global currency.
Benghazi — that needs no explanation of any kind.
Don’t forget that time she didn’t understand that Libya was in Africa
She invented fake U.S. air strikes in North Africa to use as a sound bite during a congressional hearing.
She still thinks that Iran is going to seize Iraq
She thinks the global initiative to cut carbon emissions is a waste of time because carbon dioxide is necessary to life on this planet.
She’s going to be telling Trump whether or not he should use the U.S. military to wage war around the world, as well as advise him on how to handle dealing with our allies. Just let that all sink in for a moment.
Michelle Bachmann is a vapid fool in the same manner as Sarah Palin. It also shows how the ZOG Matrix is infiltrating the Trump campaign and that he is not the self-financing candidate he claimed to be.
Some of Bachmann’s opinions in your list are correct and some are typical B.S.
Her ignorance of basic geography disqualifies her immediately.
In the case of Iran casing Iraq for an invasion, that would be a huge benefit for Iraq. Iran has every right to invade to protect themselves from Washington’s malevolence in Iraq. The U.S. would invade Mexico if the same chaos existed there as in Iraq.
Michelle Bachmann has no business advising anybody, let alone President Trump!
One of these days I’m gonna take a ride up rte. 7 into Vermont and check out Bernie Sanders new digs on Lake Champlain. In VT you can get a pretty nice place for $600,000. Like I always said socialism pays pretty good for the people on top. The Castro family in Cuba has at least $3 billion stashed away in banks in Switzerland and Spain, and in Venezuela, a falling apart state, the richest person in the country is Generalissimo Chavez’s oldest daughter. On the home front esteemed mayor of NYC Bill Di Blasio has some pretty sweet deals going on the side; don’t worry about Bill, he ain’t gonna starve. And just today we learn Hillary Clinton flies a private jet from the Vineyard to Nantucket (about 20 miles) for a Rothschild family fund raiser (for Hillary).
brh
She and Bill were dead broke.
Dead broke.
Envious of Self-Made Success?
My oft mentioned Billionaire Extermination Plan would take care of the Castros.
The only mercy extended will be to allow them to surrender 95% of their ill-gotten gain to the State for social spending, charity, and debt relief for the masses. In the case of the Castros, that would still leave them with roughly $150 million. That’s enough to get by on until the Castros can all find gainful employment.
As for Bill and Hillary being allegedly broke, they had LOTS of friends in high places. They can easily lose paper wealth and their Crime Syndicate will get it all back for them BECAUSE the Clintons are who they are.
