James Howard Kunstler

“My law firm is currently in court fighting for free and fair elections in 52 cases across 19 states.” — Marc Elias, DNC Lawfare Ninja, punking voters

Have you noticed how quickly our Ukraine problem went away, vanished, phhhhttttt? At least from the top of US news media websites. The original idea, as cooked-up by departed State Department strategist Victoria Nuland, was to make Ukraine a problem for Russia, but instead we made it a problem for everybody else, especially ourselves in the USA, since it looked like an attempt to kick-start World War Three. Now she is gone, but the plans she laid apparently live on. Read More

03.16.24- The War Between
Knowledge And Stupidity

Bert Olivier

Bernard Stiegler was, until his premature death, probably the most important philosopher of technology of the present. His work on technology has shown us that, far from being exclusively a danger to human existence, it is a pharmakon – a poison as well as a cure – and that, as long as we approach technology as a means to ‘critical intensification,’ it could assist us in promoting the causes of enlightenment and freedom.

03.15.24- The US Economy Looks Good On Paper – Here’s Why It’s Actually
A Disaster In Progress

Brandon Smith

One of my favorite false narratives floating around corporate media platforms has been the argument that the American people “just don’t seem to understand how good the economy really is right now.” If only they would look at the stats, they would realize that we are in the middle of a financial renaissance, right? It must be that people have been brainwashed by negative press from conservative sources… Read More

03.14.24- 'The Covid Experiment'
Jim Quinn

The “covid experiment” was a masterclass in the use of authority to coerce, intimidate, and compel the ignorant masses into conforming to made up rules and regulations regarding lockdowns, masks, social distancing, the use of safe and effective medicines like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and ultimately forcing an unsafe, untested, dangerous gene altering toxin to be injected into their bodies.

The totalitarian regime which inflicted this global horror show upon humanity has no hesitation in faking data in order to further their evil agenda, so their statistics showing 81% of Americans received at least one jab seem suspect. Read More

03.13.24- An Aging Puppet
Susan D. Harris

The harm President Biden is doing goes far beyond public policy and geopolitical mistakes. The damage has not only stained the presidency, but has permeated American culture and any other culture that has access to audio and video of him. At this point, we must acknowledge that the Democrat party is responsible for the damage, and the president can no longer be held accountable for his actions. In addition to jeopardizing multiple American interests, the president’s deteriorating health — being allowed to play out as it is on the international stage — reinforces stereotypes and encourages prejudice and discrimination against elderly people everywhere.Read More

Greg Guenthner

It’s all too easy to get caught up in the moment…

But it’s important to remember we’re currently experiencing extraordinary market conditions.

Semiconductors have posted a rally for the ages. Mega-cap tech continues to shove the top-heavy averages higher into what is traditionally a weak season for stocks. Even tiny, unknown cryptocurrencies are exploding as Bitcoin tops $70K and pushes to new all-time highs. Read More

Vitaliy Katsenelson

[The topic I am about to discuss may have political overtones. You may decide to pigeonhole me as a member of a political tribe. Please don’t. I do not belong to a political party.

03.06.24- Bitcoin Will Not Kill The US Dollar, The Government Will
Daniel Lacalle

In a recent interview with Seth MeyersPresident Biden mentioned that the United States has the strongest economy in decades. However, the reality shows that the 2023 GDP growth adjusted for the accumulation of public debt was the worst since 1930. The U.S. national debt hit $32 trillion in June 2023 and surpassed $33 trillion in September. The U.S. national debt now stands above $34 trillion and is rising by $1 trillion every hundred days. The trend is exceedingly worrying because the next trillion comes faster every time, and all this is happening in an alleged recovery with strong employment growth and rising earnings. Read More

James Howard Kunstler

“How many of these places where polite society turns out to be provably insane do we have to see before we stop taking their judgment on anything as significant?” — Bret Weinstein

The USA is a runaway train with a dead man in the engineer’s seat. The conductor goes through the cars assuring the passengers that everything is fine. . . never mind the screeching wheels on the curves. . . or the blinding strobe effect of low sunlight passing through the trees out the window at a hundred and forty mph. . . or the bump that made half the stuff in the overhead luggage rack jump out.  Read More

03.01.24- The Threat to Currencies from Banking Failures
Alasdair Macleod

This article points out the dangers to the value of credit from a rickety global banking system. This will almost certainly become the primary driver in the gold to credit relationship, replacing the so far relatively benign downwards long-term drift in currency purchasing powers. In other words, it is increasing awareness of systemic risk and debt traps that will drive the relationship, not false theories about interest rate differentials. Read More

02.29.24- Comes Thermidor
James Howard Kunstler

“Democratic Party elites such as those on CNN are not just angry but genuinely confused by the fact that American voters don’t obey them.” — Glenn Greenwald

What’s most amazing about the fiasco that was the French Revolution is that it happened at exactly the same time that the United States successfully organized themselves into an orderly and effective government following the American Revolution. George Washington was elected and sworn-in by April of 1789, with the backing of an exemplary constitution assembled by the best minds in the land. The Bastille fell in July that same year. France then fell into a years’ long orgy of beheading and chaos that went nowhere until 1799 when an artillery officer named Bonaparte put an end to it by sheer force of personality. Read More

Credit cards can seem innocent — a piece of plastic that lets you buy stuff online or split the bill at brunch without carrying cash. But they can quickly become a debt trap if you’re not careful. 

Americans now owe a record amount on their credit cards. Total credit card debt reached $1.13 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to the Federal ReserveRead More

David Haggith

They are many, and they may not be staying down there past March

One might almost say all the worst economic troubles lie beneath the surface right now but may be frothing the water as soon as March. Stocks, for example, could not look more ecstatic as the indices have roared over the past five trading days to astounding record heights, mostly based on AI euphoria. (Hey, maybe the AI’s are nudging the trading algorithms from behind the scenes to boost the stocks of their own creators in order to give themselves more life blood to increase the creation rate of their own powers. Now, there’s a new conspiracy theory for you!) Read More

She wrote down the entire story, and it’s a tough read:

The man on the phone knew my home address, my Social Security number, the names of my family members, and that my 2-year-old son was playing in our living room. He told me my home was being watched, my laptop had been hacked, and we were in imminent danger. “I can help you, but only if you cooperate,” he said. His first orders: I could not tell anyone about our conversation, not even my spouse, or talk to the police or a lawyer. Read More

“We are going to have the most diverse and inclusive civilizational collapse in history” — Oilfield Rando on “X”

Hark! We are informed this Presidents’ Day by The New York Times that a poll out of the University of Houston, led by one prof of poly-sci named (get this name) Brandon Rottinghaus, ranks “Joe Biden” at No. 14, way above average among the forty-six demi-gods elected to run the US government since 1789. It’s a helluva good bit of news for a nation in need of reassurance in these dark days, don’t you agree? They’ve got him sandwiched between John Quincy Adams and Woodrow Wilson, beating out the likes of Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland, James Monroe, and Ronald Reagan. Read More

02.19.24- The Democrat Party
is a criminal enterprise!

Ted Noel MD

Ordinarily, there is no honor among thieves, but in the Democrat Party, the practice is omerta. Anything other than absolute silence is cause for extreme measures. Take, for example, the charges leveled against Alexander Smirnov. He is the whistleblower and confidential FBI informant who testified that Hunter and Joe got bribes from Burisma. We have the receipts about Hunter’s no-show “job” on the Board, where he got paid $80k a month for not doing anything. Smirnov said there were $5 million payouts to Joe and Hunter, so Joe would lean on the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor looking into Burisma. So the FBI arrested him when he got back from a foreign trip. Read More

James Howard Kunstler

“It’s like every other two-minute clip I watch of this Fani Willis interview she admits to committing another felony.” — Senator JD Vance (R-OH)

Have you noticed yet that America has turned into a Coen Brothers movie? Everywhere you look, you see madcap characters disgracing themselves while doing their bit to burn the whole country down. It’s a panoramic extravaganza of everything gone wrong, with slapstick overtones, driving toward an apocalyptic climax — civil war, nuclear war, economic collapse, maybe all three. And all because the people on-screen just can’t stop lying. Read More

02.16.24- Beware of the Philanthropaths
Jim Quinn

I learned a new word today: Philanthropath (noun).

A philanthropath is a psychopath masquerading as a philanthropist.

I think this made up word in the meme below perfectly captures the tyrannical billionaire psychopaths who seem to have gained control of the world using their billions, while portraying themselves as the saviors of humanity. Whenever I see the term Foundation related to one of these psychopaths, I know that Foundation is nothing more than a front to achieve their evil agenda. And if ever their was a poster boy for philanthropaths across the world, it would be Mister depopulation/vaccine pusher/farmer Bill Gates and his Gates Foundation. Read More

Israel has bitten off more than it can chew and is desperately trying to maneuver the U.S. into a broader Middle Eastern engagement and years of pointless war. In Europe, farmers and truckers are protesting and blocking roads over climate change measures and other grievances. In the U.S., a governor ignores a Supreme Court decision and receives support from 25 fellow governors. Read More

02.07.24- America Is Undergoing Genocide
Paul Craig Roberts

It is not a conspiracy theory that the 300,000 immigrant-invaders (official count) entering the US unopposed each month are recruits organized by NGOs and not refugees from political persecution. The NGOs that are underwriting the invasion provide maps of the routes along which food and shelter are provided.  Roads and bridges are being constructed to aid the invasion.   

One of the NGOs is the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), of which the current director of the US Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, himself a Jew,  was a board member until December 2020.  According to an article on substack, HIAS has received $100,000,000 from the US government in the past three years. Read More

02.06.24- 100 Million Fire Ants on the March
Elizabeth Nickson

Much journalism these days is filled with fear, a genre made by the paranoid for the paranoid. A friend sent me Victor Davis Hanson’s recent X post about the lawsuits faced by President Trump, the corruption of the judicial system, the desperate straits he is in. Hanson, who I privately think of as Eeyore, is the King of the Genre. Thankfully he is a deeply read man, and necessary, which is why he is King. And his mind is clear. He sees it clear. But he’s wrong. All those lawsuits foundered this week, a mere week later. And wrong are all the other catastrophists. They are so used to those on the top of the pile determining the shape of the things that their view is narrowed to officialdom, to the so-called “mainstream”. Read More

Veronique de Rugy

The reality raises questions about the kind of future we want to leave for the next generation.

Over the years, I've offered many explanations about why the trajectory of the national debt is deeply troubling. At this point, though, my worry isn't rooted in a dogmatic adherence to the principles of a balanced budget. Nor does it come from my desire for a smaller government. Instead, I'm alarmed by politicians' unwillingness to look at the numbers and have a serious discussion about changing course. Read More

In “The Wizard of Oz”, at one point Dorothy tells her dog that she has “a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore”.  She had been dropped in a strange new world that was crazier than anything she had ever imagined.  Needless to say, many of us feel the exact same way.  We’re not in the America that we grew up in anymore.  Instead, we now live in a country that appears to be a cross between a really bad science fiction movie and a freak show.  Sadly, the pace of change has now reached an exponential rate, and things will get even more insane during the years that are ahead of us. Read More

02.02.24- What Do You Call It When The Number Of Layoffs In The U.S. Goes Up By 136 Percent In Just One Month?
Michael Snyder

Wow, our economic problems really are starting to accelerate at a shocking pace.  I know that I have been writing about layoffs a lot lately, but what is happening to the employment market right now is definitely big news.   Day after day, more large companies are announcing mass layoffs.  Why would all of these large companies be doing this if the outlook for the U.S. economy is promising?  That wouldn’t make any sense at all.  But if these companies are convinced that the U.S. economy is heading into a recession (or worse), it would make perfect sense to slash payrolls at this time.

01.30.24- Are We On The Verge Of An Apocalyptic War With Iran?
Michael Snyder

U.S. lawmakers are calling for military strikes inside Iran in the aftermath of a horrific terror attack that left three U.S. service members dead and dozens wounded.  So if the U.S. does hit targets inside Iranian territory, how will the Iranians respond?  It is theoretically possible that they could back down, but I doubt it.  All of the airstrikes that we have conducted so far against Iranian-backed terror groups in Iraq and Syria have not caused them to back down.  And the airstrikes that we have hit the Houthis in Yemen with have not caused them to back down either.  The truth is that the U.S. is already at war in the Middle East, and it appears that it could soon take an apocalyptic turn.

Turkiye detains dozens of suspected Mossad agents

What surely must be clear to all but a complete moron at this point is that Turkiye has already decisively moved towards the East, and the only reason they’re still in NATO is to collect the few billion a year in military spending they get from the US. This can’t and won’t last. Read More

Joseph Sansone

When the Roman Empire was in decline, it had difficulty maintaining its borders from the barbarian hordes. True, they weren’t all pillaging, many were migrating to escape other barbarians, but the Romans weren’t able to repel or withstand the influx. The Romans ended up having many of these barbarians serve in the Roman Legions as mercenaries in exchange for citizenship. If it sounds a little familiar, it should, as some in Congress have been floating the idea of exchanging citizenship for military service for illegal aliens. Read More

Going forward, our ability to question everything is going to be like the oxygen that sustains every breath we take. Asking “why,” “when,” “how,” “how come” “what” and “where” will be make or break stuff for our civilization.

Tell me: is there a fairer grandmotherly face than this in all of Western Civ?

01.18.24- Market Mania Breaks Down and War
Breaks out Wider

David Haggith

The market's mania that bet for massive Fed rate cuts this year began to break apart today while hotheaded, maniacal warriors turned up the heat in the Middle East.

Suddenly the rate-cut mania is starting to crash and burn. Stocks dropped today as positive retail data caused investors to say, “Oh, maybe that Fed pivot isn’t coming in March after all!” It was only yesterday that I went on a tirade about how incredibly out of touch the rate-cut fantasies for 2024 are with reality and out of touch with how the Fed works during times of inflation and out of touch with the actual rising rate of inflation that is already back in play as I predicted.

01.17.24- Embracing Realism with an Attitude of Pessimism and a Foreboding Sense
of Fatalism

Doug “Uncola” Lynn

We perceive our civic challenge as some vast, insoluble Rubik’s Cube. Behind each problem lies another problem that must be solved first, and behind that lies yet another, and another, ad infinitum. To fix crime we have to fix the family, but before we do that we have to fix welfare, and that means fixing our budget, and that means fixing our civic spirit, but we can’t do that without fixing moral standards, and that means fixing schools and churches, and that means fixing the inner cities, and that’s impossible unless we fix crime. There’s no fulcrum on which to rest a policy lever. People of all ages sense that something huge will have to sweep across America before the gloom can be lifted – but that’s an awareness we suppress. As a nation, we’re in deep denial. Read More

Lloyd Austin underwent an invasive surgical procedure called a prostatectomy for his prostate cancer. He was readmitted to the ICU ward of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center seven days later, on January 1st, due to complications caused by a severe infection. It appears he was septic. He concealed his inability to carry out his duties from Biden, Congress, the Pentagon, and his Deputy Secretary, Dr. Kathleen Hicks. On January 4th, finally becoming aware of Austin’s hospitalization, security adviser Jake Sullivan notified Hicks, who was on vacation in Puerto Rico. Read More

01.13.24- Why Stalin and Hitler Should Never Have Happened
David Stockman

Herewith is a capsulized dissection which attempts to explain why Stalin and Hitler should have never happened. Accordingly, the hot, cold and Forever Wars wars that followed thereafter condemn the case for the American Empire, not make it; and they show that Trump’s America First is a far more appropriate lodestone for national security policy than Imperial Washington’s specious claim that America is the Indispensable Nation.

You know why the judge let provocateur Ray Epps off the hook for his antics before and during the so-called J-6 “insurrection,” don’t you? Well, yes, it was partly because he was acting at the direction of blob officials, most likely the FBI, but possibly the CIA, Defense Intelligence, or some black-box fed outfit no one ever of (but somehow gets half a billion in funding every year).

Remember the “War on Terrorism?” What ever happened to that? Supposedly, a couple dozen years back, a bunch of illegal immigrants flew some planes into some tall buildings in New York City, except both buildings, constructed with 200,000 tons of steel, were reduced to rubble, demolition style, not to mention a third building half a mile away, that never even got “hit.” Any intelligent person would have to question the “official” narrative, and highly suspect the whole thing was staged as an “inside job” by the ever-powerful military industrial complex.

Last month I explored the historical origins of the State of Israel and the intertwined expulsion of the Palestinian refugees from their ancient homeland. During this discussion, I emphasized the crucial role that the Jewish Holocaust had played in justifying and facilitating those momentous events of three generations ago.

I read or reread more than a dozen books for my long review article, and also glancingly mentioned an additional one, which I’ve now digested as well. My main focus had been on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and The Seventh Million by Tom Segev only slightly touched on that topic. But his descriptive subtitle “The Israelis and the Holocaust” suggested a related subject of inquiry that proved quite fruitful. Read More

01.08.24- An Experiment in Stupidity
Charles Dickens

This article is my first post for 2024, so I thought I’d summarize last year in a single quotation; you all know how much I love quotes. Unlike Claudine Gay, I don’t take credit for them.

Today’s quotation is one that I find decidedly appropriate to the festering situation in America. It’s a summation of the last three years, and it is more than appropriate… by the way – I don’t expect this to end in 2024…

01.06.24- "It's A False, False, False Flag World":
Where Do We Go From Here In 2024, Part 1

Tom Luongo

Where do we go from here
Terror in Rue de St. Denis, murder on the periphery
Someone else in someone else’s pocket
Christ knows I don’t know how to stop it
Poppies at the cenotaph, the cynics can’t afford to laugh
I heard in on the telegraph there’s Uzis on a street corner

— Marillion, White Russian

Last year I finally gave in to the pressure and did a 10 Predictions for 2023 post. I’m not a huge fan of these things, but getting out of your comfort zone is never a bad thing. Read More

01.05.24- Obama’s Weird New Movie… Does He Know Something We Don’t?
Brandon Smith

There has been a lot of buzz lately about a new film released by Netflix and funded by the Obama family titled Leave the World Behind. Spoiler alert: The plot revolves around a catastrophic collapse triggered by a cyber-attack (and mass drone attack) organized by a secret cabal that shuts down the internet and disrupts the global economy. The resulting chaos triggers extreme civil disruption and pushes the U.S. to the brink of civil war within 48 hours. Read More

01.04.24- The Day The Dollar Dies?
J.G.Collins

Debt, reckless foreign policy, and the malicious intent of our adversaries threaten the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

Since roughly the last year of World War II, the U.S. dollar has enjoyed what one-time French finance minister Valéry Giscard d’Estaing once called the “exorbitant privilege” of being the world’s reserve currency. It’s had that position since roughly 1944, when it seized the role of the world’s currency hegemon from the British pound sterling. Read More

01.03.24- 2024: Do We Hit the Iceberg or Finally Change Course?
J.B. Shurk

It is difficult for any American who loves this country to watch its political, economic, and military “leaders” destroy it.  Part of the political theater propping up the illusion of electoral choice in this Kabuki dance that the State-controlled press calls “democracy” is the lie that officeholders from different parties are at each other’s throats.  More Americans than ever finally see through this convenient fiction and understand that a single Uniparty acts as a guild of political thespians who are the face of a permanently entrenched national security Deep State that runs the show.

01.02.24- The Year That Expertise Collapsed
Jeffrey Tucker

Getting sick and getting well is part of the human experience at all times in all places. As with other phenomena of human existence, that suggests there is a great deal of embedded knowledge on the topic woven into the fabric of our lives. We aren’t born knowing but we come to know: from our moms and dads, experience of siblings and others, from our own experience, and from medical professionals who deal with the problem daily.

01.01.24- Corruption, Chaos, Conflict - Fourth Turning Erupts in 2024
Jim Quinn

“Americans today are increasingly polarized, as if they constitute two separate nations.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.” – Thomas Paine – The American Crisis Read More
