Let Them EAT BLACKOUTS

The 'green energy transition' is an impossibility.  Don't buy into it.  Don't even think it's going to happen.

Let's review.  

In order to have electric devices; from cars to refrigerators, there has to be copper, lithium, cobalt, graphite, and many other Rare Earth Elements.

All of those things have to be mined.

Newsome and all the rest can pass all the laws they want.  Either people are going to have their electricity bills, rise 600%, or there will be rolling blackouts, or energy rationing, or the "green" and "renewable" energy change won't happen.

Your politicians are ignoring chemistry, math and physics.  The aren't following the Science!.

The first wave of the green energy transition movements in the USA and the EU demand more copper than exists in the world today.

For those of you who need evidence, here it is.  Invest your funds accordingly (I'm long everything I can in the Energy sector, as well as the Gov't idiocy sector), and position your life around what is real.

You should know that not only did Prof. Michaux explain this to EU officials, they proceeded to explain they did no know any of this information, and they then proceeded to ignore what he said.

Why You LOSE

Irina Slav has a great substack on energy.  It's helped keep me informed, as well as helping my investing $$$ bottom line.

Here is her latest:

Germany is about to freeze this winter, their energy costs are spiking in ways heretofore unseen ... and young people are protesting using Liquid Natural Gas LNG to stay warm.  

Psychologically, this is amazing. The evidence, the proof, that fossil fuels are going nowhere is rampant.  Irina Slav is looking for answers within the psychology discipline.  She found some. 

Here statement here is what caught my eye.  It's why any rational, staid, conservative movement fails:

Here was my response - and here is why intelligent, rational, conservative people repeatedly FAIL:

"I’ve stood away from the whole “Is there an emergency or not” debate because I’m not a scholar and I lack the knowledge to contribute to this debate in any way. "

This is why rational, nominally conservative people lose. The leftist lizard brain, progressive mindset is to use fact free rhetoric, fear, and whatever else it takes to get their way across, or gain power. While you're caring about getting it right, or carefully analyzing the issue, they are OK with children crying and fearmongering the younger population to their ends. These are sick people, and deserve to be isolated and shunned. But the leftist / enviro loon has learned that you will bend the knee if they call you a name. Pick one - it works to get you to acquiesce (proverbially).

Do you think the name calling doesn't work?  Calling someone a "climate denialist" obviously does work, or they wouldn't do it.  The Prometheans want you sick, stupid, broke, and afraid.  In Germany, they've added 'frozen' and 'powerless'.  The German people, under those conditions, will accept anything, just to make the misery stop. Unless things change quickly over there, things will become quite dire.

That's how they do it.  That's why you lose.

Now THEY Are Going After the ... AMISH FARMERS

This is something out of a 1990's era (aka funny) Saturday Night live skit.  Except this isn't funny.

The FedGov just raided an Amish Farm.  An holistic, organic, no middleman, chemical free, no preservatives, no artificial anything, all natural farm in Pennsylvania.

Tucker Carlson interviewed the reporter who broke the story, and the reporter gets it.  He put it out there that the farmer:

• uses no gasoline on the farm
• uses no fertilizer
• has cut out the middleman - sells directly to customers
• is successful

And there you have it.  This farmer sells what must be impossibly healthy food that will create free thinking, physically, intellectually and spiritually healthy people.

The Beast simply cannot stand by and have that happen.  The reporter says that the other local farmers know for a fact that FedGov is doing this to 'set an example'.  They've slapped him with a $300,000 fine and told him to stop producing meat.

I suspect the meat he produces is robust, healthy, protein rich wondrousness.  The 'meat' at Costco and McDonalds is what they want you to eat: grey, downer cattle, steroid rich, mad cow Frankenmeat.  That stuff is fine - the Pennsylvania Amish meat is verboten.  This is your D party Biden administration. 

Ok, I'll say it: "I wonder what would have happened if this Organic Farm were raided under the Trump Administration?  Could you imagine the headlines?

Do you see the pattern yet?  You don't have to answer.

If you're not angry about this story you should be ashamed of yourself.  Carlson brings up a good point as well: this farmer has eliminated the middle man, and doesn't use the things that this administration has made expensive.  He is immune to the weapons of the Establishment.  Carlson also mentions that the Federal Agents should be ashamed of themselves: "When you're told to raid an organic Amish Farm ... that's when you say no and bow out."

Carlson is right.  They know they can't stop everyone, so they try to set an example.  They're going to fail, but The Prometheans won't go down without a fight.

Here is the interview:

Financial PLANdemic

My post 'Plandemic' is the 10th most popular in the 10 year history of this site.  Turns out I didn't know the half of it.

Looks like the Federal Reserve big shots were wheeling and dealing around the plandemic, making sure that they cashed in big. Eric Salzman is all over it:

"Federal Reserve Vice-Chair Richard Clarida was cleared of wrongdoing by the Fed’s Inspector General. Clarida moved between $1-$5 million out of a bond fund into an equity fund a couple of days before the Fed launched its unprecedented pandemic support to financial markets."

But wait - it gets better:

"Clarida said his move was a “pre-planned rebalancing,” which had a slim chance of not being a lie until it was disclosed that he had sold $1-$5million of the same stock fund three days before. In other words, his “out of bonds and into stocks” trade was really an “out of stocks and into bonds, then back into stocks again” trade — a rebalancing of a rebalancing! He appeared to reverse course when he knew stocks were probably going to skyrocket after the Fed announced its rescue package."

Remember waaaaay back, 2 years ago when you mentioned that the lockdowns were causing severe economic damage?  When you told people that the lost income would destroy families, wreck savings, increase suicide rates, drug use, and obliterate quality of life - particularly among the most vulnerable?

I mentioned all of these things, as did others, and we were told by the NPC's that we "shouldn't value dollars over human life."

Here's how it works.  The NPC's are told, via talking points on Social Media, how to respond to such valid criticisms.  Then the people at the top of the plandemic pyramid can subsequently use the Blue Check NPC noise as cover.  The Richard Claridas of the world come out on top, while Karen is screaming at me about not wearing a mask outside, and the Laptop Class is howling at people to "not value money over lives."

It's all quite incredible to watch.

And yes, don't worry, Clarida will be fine after surviving what must have been a stressful exoneration.  He not only magically worked his portfolio million$ just ahead of key events, he's also back in the private sector:

Perhaps when you get angry as someone like me saying 'plandemic', you should get angry at yourself for buying into their nonsense.

Clarida is laughing at you .... all the way to the central bank.

Sanction RUSSIA: Russia STRENGTHENS

Here in Clown World, aka the section of the world that is ruled over by the Neo Liberal Rules Based World Order, we put Ukrainian flags on our bios, we celebrate 'diversity', we have Pride Month, we support 'green' energy, and we worship St. George F.  We also think rhetoric and feelings rule the day.

In other parts of the world, parts that are based on real things and consequences, they understand that rhetoric and feelings are meaningless if you flip the switch and the lights don't go on, or you turn on the heat and there's no power, or your grid has rolling blackouts.

Energy is life, and you need energy to survive. 

Putin! did something that the NWO didn't like.  There were many reasons for it.  The pets in the Western Corporate Media dialed up the rhetoric, put flags in the bios, told us all sorts of lying nonsense ('In 10 days Putin runs out of weapons' .. that was 2 months ago), and yet the Russian economy is fine, and the ruble is stronger than before.  Why?

People need energy, and they really need oil and gas and coal.  They are buying it from Russia, because they have it:

"Despite looming sanctions and import bans, Russia exported $97.7 billion worth of fossil fuels in the first 100 days since its invasion of Ukraine, at an average of $977 million per day."

Look at all the EU and NATO countries on the list.  They seem to think that you can wish for something to happen, and that's all it takes.  

The countries NOT part of the Neo Liberal Order are going to buy fossil fuels from whomever has it, and Russia is one of the top suppliers in the world.

You have China, India, and S. Korea on that list above.  Not only have they NOT condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they will continue to buy from Russia. Not on the list (yet) are Indonesia and Brazil.  What are the combined populations of all of those countries: 4 billion?  Brazil isn't part of the Neo-Liberal clown world.  Bolsonaro openly mocks the leadership of Ukraine.  Those 4 countries probably represent at least 2/3 of the world's population.

In general, countries that have energy have seen their currencies strengthen, while those who import it have seen their currencies weaken.  The ruble, dollar and loonie have done well.  The euro, Turkish Lira, and the yen have collapsed.

Now that we're in WWIII, you have to, more than ever, stop listening to Corporate Media, and find reliable sources that will explain things in real world terms.  The 'western' corporate media has some of the worst despair merchants, always lying and projecting what they want, and not what is.  As we've learned in the past, Social Justice Warriors always lie, and they always project.

Don't give them your time.

I Will SURVIVE: Russian REMIX

While you're getting whipped into a frenzy about how many ways you can detest Russia! and Putin!, the Russians seem to be doing fine.  Even though the NeoLiberal World Rules Based New Order (do I have that right?) has put sanctions on Russia, Russia seems to be surviving.

Why?  How?  Witness:

In other words, Russia hasn't been buying into the NeoLiberal Globalist nonsense, and has set itself up for economic and energy independence.  

• Russia has been buying gold for years.
• Russia produces and refines oil. It sells only the oil it doesn't need.
• Russia mines and processes Uranium.
• Russia has a balanced budget.
• Russia was fearless: 'if you sanction us, you'd better be prepared to buy our oil in rubles.'

"Putin's demand for buyers of Russian gas to pay in rubles was a masterstroke. After initial resistance, western gas buyers are increasingly toeing the line, with one of Germany's largest natural gas importers, VNG, recently opening an account with Gazprombank for payments for Russian gas under Moscow's terms.

According to Maria Demertzis, deputy director at Bruegel, a Brussels-based economics think tank, EU payments for Russian pipeline gas have been playing a big role in propping up the currency.

For all the tough talk about abandoning Russian energy commodities, Russia is still managing to sell a good amount of its oil and gas, thanks to the fact that some of the world's biggest commodity traders have little compunction against financing Putin's war machine.

Indeed, Oleg Ustenko, economic adviser to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, has written to the four companies demanding that they stop trading Russian hydrocarbons immediately since export revenues are funding Moscow's purchase of weapons and missiles.

According to ship tracking and port data, Switzerland's Vitol, Glencore, and Gunvor as well as Singapore's Trafigura, have all continued to lift large volumes of Russian crude and products, including diesel."

Basically, the Russians haven't been playing the stupid Globalist game, because they not only don't want to ruin their own country, they also can see how globalism hollowed out These United States over the past 30 years.

So now the USA and Western Europe, areas that are soft, stupid, ineffective, weak, unproductive and clownish, are supposed to fight Russia.  How?  By putting the Ukrainian flag in the bio?  By railing against cishet normative colonialism?  By wearing a pussyhat and calling Trump a nazi?  Somebody help me out here please.

Putin understands that without energy, there is no life.  Energy is life.  While Americans and European citizens and politicians were weeping with joy watching Greta reprimand them about Global Warming, Putin (and China and India for that matter) was stockpiling the things you need to live at the first world level.

In summary, will the Ukrainian flag in the bio, or the "I stand with Ukraine" lawn sign have any meaning when you flip the switch ... and the lights don't go on?

Think about that.  We have shortages, inflation,  and supply chain disruptions.

They are having barely any effect on Russia.

So why are we doing it again?  Why are we at war with Russia?  

No one seems to ask these questions. But the virtue signaling and rhetoric are at a fever pitch.  That has to count for something. Right?

Orange Man GONE - Forever War HERE

This isn't too difficult to see, but I'll lay it out there for all to see: 

The Pimps of War, who lost Afghanistan as a cash cow, needed a new venue.  Now they have it:

That second paragraph is exactly how it should be said.  These people are sick.  They need the Ukraine conflict to not only keep their fantasies of World Power / World Government alive, they use the American Empire that they stupidly built to line their pockets.

What hurts them the most, in my opinion, is that Putin! didn't bend the knee to the 'Rules Based Liberal World Order', and allow his country to be swallowed up by banksters and financial pimps.

It looks like a win - win for them.  Have you seen this?

While you're spending $5.25 per gallon for gasoline, trying to figure out how to cut food costs and wondering how in the world you'll save for your children's college, these sick pimps are out there in your name fighting for 'democracy in Ukraine'.

Can you see why they did what they did to Trump?  He wouldn't start a new war.  He called the Iraq invasion a "big fat mistake".  They can't have that.  The money, and this bizarre fixation on achieving a World Order (with them in charge of course), must continue unabated.

Trump couldn't be relied upon. Neither could Sanders.  Remember the so-called mysogynist "Bernie Bros"?

Hedges, who found Trump repellent, but is congenitally unable to lie, spells it out:

So now you have quagmire part IV.

But at least there aren't any more mean tweets. That has to count for something.  Right?

Investing and Thinking about the FUTURE

I told some friends at work that I have done well recently with my investing strategy.  I will put down what I told them right here:

"Commodities stocks: Oil, Natural Gas, Uranium, Coal, Copper, Lithium.

None of these things has been invested in or developed at a normal rate over the past few years. There will be a price squeeze. You see it already with the oil / gas price.

Oil:

• Baytex Energy 
• Athabasca Oil 
• Journey Energy 
• Tamarack Valley Energy 

Uranium:

• Sprott Physical Uranium Trust 
• NexGen Energy 
• Paladin Energy 

Natural Gas:

• Tellurian 

Coal:

• Corsa Coal Co. 
• Thungela Coal 

Rare Earth Elements / Metals:

• Greenland Resources 
• VALE Copper & Mining 
• Millennial Precious Metals 

I own most of these companies. Many of them are in Canada, so you’ll see them on the American exchanges with an “F” at the end on the ‘Over the Counter’ (OTC) markets. It is very early in the commodity cycle, so this is a good time to get in. I’m not a financial professional, and this is not financial advice. I am not a financial advisor. I am a broken down English teacher who is getting between 70% and 500% return in the last year on some of these names. This is a combination of retirement planning and future real estate purchases. I read a lot, listen to many podcasts and YouTube videos, and read countless reports from sources I trust.

I use Interactive Brokers for most of my trading, because you can trade internationally. I also have a TD Ameritrade account, as you can see it below. I began buying on Feb 1st, 2021:

I got into those names (except TNGRF) in the first  quarter of 2021, and that is their performance so far.

With the current Russia / Ukraine conflict going on, the commodities world seems to be one where there will be scarcity and pretty serious rising prices.

Unlike many of your friends, I did not become an expert on Eastern European border relationships over the past 72 hours.  What I see from my reasonably informed vantage point is Russia, China, India, and Iran going their own way, breaking away from the NATO World Order.  Naturally the NWO is thrashing about and screaming about it.  You can see this through their mouthpieces in the Corporate Press.

Information and analysis is key. One axiom / philosophy I've used with success over the past 15 years is that the Corporate Press is always lying.  In fact, the opposite of what they say is probably closer to the truth.

"They have weapons of Mass Destruction" and "Housing prices will always go up" are two of the statements that began my Red Pilling process.

Instead of relying on regular voices regarding investing, I began to look at those who are not 'standard', who are not only willing to go against the grain, but also have had measurable success.

Here are some of the outlets I follow regularly who have helped my bottom line. The below list is somewhat a chronological list of the path I went down to where I am now.  

The following all have a mix of: podcasts, interviews, quarterly letters, twitter feeds, subscription services, Substacks and YouTube channels:

• Tom Woods: libertarianism and Austrian Economics.
• Zerohedge.com news.
• RealVision Subscription.
• Harris Kupperman's Adventures in Capitalism.
• John Polomny (YouTube channel)
• Trader Ferg.
• Goehring and Rozencwajg.
• Justin Huhn at Uranium Insider.
• The Manhattan Contrarian
• Capitalist Exploits.
• Quoth the Raven.
• Eric Nuttall.
• Josh Young at Bison Interests.
• Tony Greer (RealVision and Twitter).
• Kevin Bambrough's Twitter acct.

One small sample of my thinking of late:  While everyone is screaming about ESG Mandates, Global Warming, Climate Change, Greta, and the melting of the ice caps, take a look at what Ferg tweeted out and included in his weekly newsletter:

Got that?  Rather than use NatGas, which is 50% cleaner than Coal, because Russia! has done something the NWO doesn't like, they'll pollute their own skies with smoke via coal plants.  Not only that, just recently Germany decided to shut down more nuclear reactors.  Nuclear power creates no CO2. It is the 'greenest' energy imaginable, and it isn't even close.

Finland gets almost all of its fossil fuel energy from Russia.  

Think about those things, and what will happen to prices and values. Avoid the unthinking Herd.

Trucks, Banks, the WEF, and CONTROL

There's a lot going on.

Taibbi has a substack post (I'm a subscriber) that's great for left leaning normies.  As always, I recommend it:

Get a load of that smug Karen.  She's the one freezing bank accounts, getting back at all of the unwashed mouth breathing regular people rabble she so detests.  She's in the club, and you're not.

Bow your head citizen.

Naturally, Taibbi, in every article, has to virtue signal his progressive creds:

"I’ve never owned a gun and have been sympathetic to gun control ideas for as long as I can remember. Sorkin, however, was not talking about gun control. He was theorizing a quasi-privatized vision of social control that would bypass laws by merging surveillance capitalism and law enforcement."

Taibbi makes sure he's not one of those awful gun people, that's he's on the good side of the force.  He does this quickly and then gets back to eviscerating the Establishment Big Bank Tool that is Aaron Sorkin. 

I felt compelled to comment:

""I’ve never owned a gun and have been sympathetic to gun control ideas for as long as I can remember."

Please don't virtue signal for your Liberal Progressive creds.

The people you so effectively criticize are surrounded by armed guards, or have exemptions to the gun control rules. When it comes down to it, they won't have to worry about you and your rhetorically fantastic laptop.

They'll win. They understand force. Eventually they'll say the quiet part out loud. That moment is coming close. Those bad people in flyover country get it. They've seen it coming for years.

They'll be fine."

Other than that, it's a great article.  Taibbi has a knack for bringing up things that your garden-variety liberals were against back in the W Bush days, and making the Bush policies look tame compared to what is going on now.  He's right about everything, and it is a great gift.  If I were to try to write to the Normie class I'd last about half a paragraph before shouting uncontrollably.

Maybe that's why Taibbi has a Substack page with thousands of paying customers and I have ... well, never mind.

Sprinkled within the comments are the usual "how could Trudeau, who I voted for, be so badddd!!!"

I replied to one comment like that, and told them to go into the conspiracy community, where they'd get more informed than anything in the mainstream.  

Hell, these 3 minutes will get you more informed as to what Blackface Justin Trudeau is about than anything you'll ever read in the Washington Post:

Maybe you get your info from the NY Times.  Here's what they expect the rabble to ingest in uncontrollably large gulps:

You see the double standard. Most sheeple do not:

Inve$ting 2021 - What I did This Year that MADE MONEY

I discovered the Actionable Intelligence Alert in late 2020.  It has paid dividends.

One of the things people ask is "what is your investing thesis?"  My thesis is easy to elucidate: make money.

After making tons of mistakes over the past 10 years, I've been smarter, more careful, and more diligent in investing.  Because of this I have landed in the commodities sector.  There has been an unnatural and cloddish move into 'green' energy and 'renewables'.  The problem with those two things is that they lack the energy to power the modern world.  It doesn't matter how you feel about global warming, global cooling, climate change, global dimming ... any of that stuff.  It's irrelevant. 

If you want to flip on the lights and have them go on, there has to be oil, coal, natural gas, or nuclear to power the grid.  It's that simple.  Solar panels and windmills cannot do the job.  They don't produce enough power.  That may not make you feel good, and it will get you on the bad side of GRETARD, but that's reality. 

Because of the lack of money in finding more 'old' energy, the world is due for a price spike. That's where my investing dollar has gone over the past 10 months, and it's been reasonably successful.  I'm in:

• Uranium
• Natural Gas
• Oil
• Molybdenum

I plan on adding to all of these positions over the next calendar year.  I will probably add exposure to copper, and possibly coking coal.

Here is one of the AIA videos - the most recent and one that will give you a small sampling of someone I listen to who is based and understands the industry.

Update from ROOM 227

I just listened to David Sirota on Matt Taibbi's podcast. Some of the seeds for today's clownshow were quietly planted back during the 2007-2009 financial crisis. The Power Elite are slick, as they still manage to escape blame. The housing crisis / financial crash and Obama's role in it, the toothless regulations, the incredible bailouts for the banks, while the regular people get smoked ... these things I share with upperclassmen at work in ROOM 227.

Aigil Gomez Pays With Bitcoin Cash in Caracas Venezuela

Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency have been in the news recently.

BTC (Bitcoin) has been spindled and mutilated into 'digital gold' and 'diamond hands' and 'HODL'.

That's not what the idea was.  The point was to have peer to peer cash payments available to all.  This increases financial freedom.  This Venezuelan influencer hottie shows you how useful Bitcoin Cash (BCH) can be in a failed state like Venezuela.

Lyn Alden - BITCOIN is Not a Ponzi Scheme

Lyn Alden has been on Youtube a lot recently.  I've watched all the videos.

Because I've finally gotten into Bitcoin, I am burying myself in information as I go.  Alden takes on one of the most common misconceptions about Bitcoin - that it is a Ponzi scheme.

Bitcoin is many things, but it isn't a Ponzi scheme.  It isn't guaranteed to succeed at this stage of its young life; it's been around only 12 years.  However, the criticism of it is mostly unfounded.  Not only that, the criticism of Bitcoin sounds ridiculous when you compare it to the fiat dollar.  Those slips of paper in your pocket, or the digits on your screen are about as 'solid' as thin air.

Also, you have no control over the dollar.  Someone can print and create as many dollars as he likes, but not you.  With Bitcoin no one can create more at any time - including you.

One of the things that got me to take a deep dive into Bitcoin was that every argument against it I thought of, I came up with the same argument for the fiat dollar.  "Fiat" = created on a whim by some entity.

Additionally, as I have watched the value of the dollar collapse courtesy of the Federal Reserve, I have watched Bitcoin rise in value.  Despite all of this, otherwise smart people seem to have an inability to see what I and others see as obvious.  

Here's Nassim Nicholas Taleb making an argument that could be made about any stock on the NYSE:

Notice the hedge 'at least for now'.  That's the tell.  Even Taleb is watching the price.  And what's with the COVID comment?  I've learned over the years that experts in one field can be cloddish and idiotic in others.  Taleb shows it here with that crack.

"Bitcoin was launched in the fairest way possible.

Satoshi first showed others how to do it with the white paper in an academic sense, and then did it himself months later, and anyone could begin mining along­side him within the first days as some early adopters did. Satoshi then distrib­uted the devel­op­ment of the software to others and disap­peared, rather than continue to promote it as a charis­matic leader, and so far has never cashed out.

From the begin­ning, Bitcoin has remained an open source and fully trans­parent project, and has the most organic growth trajec­tory of the industry. Given avail­able infor­ma­tion, the market has priced it as it sees fit, out in the open."

Charles Payne Goes OFF on National TV While Paper Silver and Real Silver DISCONNECT

Cavuto had 2 establishment guys on his show on Friday the 29th of January.

Charles Payne, at around 5 minutes in, goes OFF on Gasparino's total inability to unshackle himself from his Establishment Elite position.

Payne goes crazy, and he's justified.  This idea that the retail investors are stupid and need to be corralled in to a small, safe pen, while the Hedge funds go about rigging the market and enriching themselves at everyone's expense is insulting and absurd.  Gasparino doesn't seem to mind the leverage of the Hedge funds, but is somehow offended when the regular people do something that causes hedge fund pain.  

Charles Payne sees it immediately and calls him out on it - loudly. (around 5:00).

Ironically, Gasparino's defense of short sellers at the beginning of this video is correct.  He's 100% right.  Marc Cohodes, David Einhorn, and Jim Chanos have been doing legitimate short selling for years.  They attack fraud and protect investors from danger and predators in the stock market.  Cohodes upset the apple cart so badly that he got a personal visit and threats from the FBI.  He went after top of the pyramid connected fraud and took serious heat.  We want short sellers like Cohodes out there.

This is the best podcast you'll ever hear on the topic.  It tells you the difference between real short sellers, the ones Gasparino talks about at the beginning, and the 'smash and grab' guys getting their asses handed to them courtesy of r/wallstreetbets:

Here's Payne bringing the pain (sorry, I lack discipline):

Meanwhile the silver market is in flux.  Paper silver products are disconnecting from the price of physical silver.

Just to check for myself, I went to APMEX to buy some silver.  Here's the screenshot:

I went to buy, and the price is over $42.00, and the silver will be shipped to me around Mid February, in 2 weeks. 

The proles are restless, and they're not all stupid. Payne is right.  There is clearly a class warfare aspect to this, and it will echo for years to come.

Is SILVER Next? wallstreetbets Takes Aim at Silver Stonk! Gonna Be LITT!

 Is this real?  Elements of it are.

Silver has been a manipulated market for decades.  I wrote about it during my hard-core libertarian phase way back when.  Hell, the second post on this blog in November 2010 was about QE, and we watched  Silver Bears discussing The Bernank and his FED shenanigans.

JP Morgan has paid multiple fines to the CFTC for getting caught manipulating the silver market.  That link gets you only to the latest one.

This has made it a target.

It looks like the austists have taken aim at one of the most manipulated markets in recent history.  The silver and gold markets are always hammered down my the Big Shots.  Gold and Silver represent 6,000 years of market testing by people asking: 'what is money?' and 'how can I store my wealth?'

The Power Elite want you to never store your wealth.  They do it, but you shouldn't.  You should use your political money, fiat, to waltz into a rigged game.  Buy bonds.  Buy annuities. Buy stonks.  Get your face ripped off at times ... win some, lose some.  The key to all of this is that you use the money that is backed my nothing.  If you win - great.  If they win, even greater.  If you lose - too bad chump.  If they lose - time for a bailout and and a bonus. 

(Ask yourself this: If precious metals aren't money, and aren't worth much ... why do central banks hold it? Why do the wealthy own it?)

Here is The Godfather of Gold verbally disemboweling The Godfather of Helicopter Fiat:

It is this ethos that is driving much of the r/wallstreetbets engine.  If the next target is paper silver, look out - this could make GME look tame:

One of the redditors is nice enough to give a bit of a disclaimer:

"Join me brothers. Lets take silver to the moon and take on the biggest and baddest manipulators in the world.

Please post rocket emojis in the comments as desired.

Disclaimer: do your own research, make your own decisions, everything here is a guess and hypothetical and nothing is guaranteed, not a financial advisor, I have ADHD and maybe other things too."

When people are doing it for the lulz, it's like fighting a hydra; cut off one serpent head and 2 take its place.

Silver was already in demand. Odd how the price has hovered around $23 - $29 for the last 6 months, even with demand through the roof.  Shouldn't the price go up?  

r/wallstreetbets may have already started the project.  I went to one of the biggest exchanges to look into buying silver coins:

"currently out of stock" (do they mean stonk?)

It would be exciting, to say the least, if the reddit crowd does this.  The reaction of the Financial Elite will be incredible.  Whenever the Human Ballast work together, they go crazy.  Remember, in Orwell's 1984, the Proles were the last and only hope.  It's why I cheer for the Proles - flaws and all.

This might make the GME Gamestonk GameStop even look tame.  Multiply this by 100:

Keep your eyes open people - if they go for this it's gonna be LITT!

Is the pandemic being used to mask a wealth & power transfer? | Russell Brand

Russell Brand tackles a few topics in this presentation. He looks at the economics of the pandemic, and the movement of money into the hands of those who already have a lot of money. He also analyzes, with some depth, the idea of politicians or newscasters 'crying' in public. Lastly, he looks at the system of rule / government we're in and asks about its legitimacy as a form and what it takes to maintain it.

Paul Joseph Watson also tackles the economics of CV19 as well in his latest video. You can check it out on his channel. The British are really on this topic ... more than we seem to be here in the States.

Comment on Brand's presentation. As he analyzes the methods of conveying emotion and legitimacy through 'crying' on camera, how is his presentation itself? He chooses clips, humor, rhetorical questions, and philosophy to get his point across. Explain if you think he has found a good way to get his messages across. How would you rate his presentation?

Small NJ Gym vs. the Supreme Court: GYM WINS!

The Supreme Court, in one of the weakest decisions in its history, refused to hear the Texas case against 4 states.  Texas was joined by 21 other states.  

The Supreme Court's main job is to decide the outcome of conflict between the states.  All they had to do was listen. If the Texas case was weak, then decide against it.  But they didn't want to even listen.  Only Alito and Thomas were willing to hear the case.

That showed weakness.  

Juxtapose that with this owner of a New Jersey gym.  He refuses to bend the knee.  The NJ governor is arbitrarily closing businesses, just like the governor here in NY.  Remember, here in NY, starting tomorrow, I can't eat inside at a small restaurant, privately owned by POC.  But I can always to go Target, with hundreds of others.

NJ is dealing with the same kind of stupidity from its 'leader'.  I have always wondered why people don't push back.  Here is an example of someone who does.  He is just a person, a citizen.  The SCOTUS, powerful and protected, can't push back, wants to wallow in the status quo, and is afraid.  This guy will.

From Clint Lamb at Outkick:

"The fight for small businesses continues during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ian Smith, owner of Atilis Gym in New Jersey, has not let up in his defiance of Gov. Phil Murphy’s lockdown orders.

Despite constant fines from the state of New Jersey, Smith has left the doors to his gym open.

On Saturday morning, David Reaboi tweeted out a video showing Smith refusing to back down. Needless to say, it was pretty epic 48 seconds. Check it out below.

Smith also recently joined Fox News to discuss how Gov. Murphy has been going after his livelihood for defying his orders.

“Governor Murphy has thrown everything he possibly could to shut us down,” Smith told Fox News. “He has arrested my partner and I, given us over 60 citations, some of them criminal. He fines us $15,497.76 per day for every day we’re in operation. Our fines are totaling over $1.2 million, but every single day, Frank and I open our gym.”

This is a man trying to survive, and survival exists beyond the concept of life and death. Fighting for your livelihood is something every American has the right to do, and we commend Smith for his perseverance.

It’s unfortunate that Smith is evening having to go to these lengths in the first place, however. He built Atilis Gym from his own blood, sweat and tears. And now the government is trying to tell him how to run it.

Terrible."

A Nail in the School Industrial Complex Coffin

"I understand that $50,000 a year is a lot for college, but they need the 'college experience' and the time on campus'".

This is one of the things parents, teachers, and guidance counselors all say to justify the absurd tuition rates.

What if you're going to school on Zoom?  Never leaving your house, listening to lectures on 'Dismantling Whiteness" or "Race and Public Space"?  How much will you pay for that?  What is it worth to you?

Harvard recently announced that their $50K tuition will remain the same, even though Corona! has shut down the campus and classes will be done digitally.

Harvard might be able to afford that decision.  There are enough people who are willing to spend $50K a year to simply buy the credential.  For now anyway.

Southwestern Podunk State can't afford to do that.  Most universities can't.

When the Robot AI Historians write the history of this time, I think they'll recognize this as a turning point in the timeline.

Pay for classes on Zoom?  They can get away with it for a while, but not forever.

A Black Pill for Black Friday

I showed a short video called "The Madness of a Lost Society" to students in 2010.  It's one of those Black Friday specials showing herds of people maniacally going after $10 toasters and $49 microwave ovens.  My guilty pleasure is I love watching those videos.

Even more interesting to me and my students is analyzing not only why people act like crazed wildebeests on Black Friday, but how they can be trained to do so.  An interesting concept to think about is sales resistance.  It is difficult to sell stuff.  I struggle mightily to sell  exam services online.  Selling is hard.  People say 'no' in many different ways.  However, on Black Friday, there is no resistance.  It's as if someone has surgically come in and removed the Sales Resistance Gene from their brains.

Here is "The Madness of a Lost Society" part 3.  Apparently SGT Report made another version.  It's one of those short documentaries that makes you wonder how long the Fake America can last.  With a nation filled with people like this, what will happen when things go wrong?

Here is your Black Pill:
