This country is a f*cking disaster. Entire swaths of the country look like post-apocalyptic war zones. Most people donât have enough money to survive more than a week without a job. Even if that job is nothing more than slavery by another name. Donât buy the nonsense that things are going great. The reason why the stock market is in a massive bubble is that there is no demand for capital; something noted on here many times before the 2008 collapse as an apocalyptic future omen. In other words, because industrial capitalism is already in systemic failure, all of the money printing done by the Federal Reserve and other central banks is rolling into renter capitalism assets like stocks, bonds and real estate and just blowing prices through the roof. Every new dollar created just makes the disaster larger.

Superbowl Ad Hijacking Martin Luther Kingâs Message Of Selflessness
I donât pay much attention to TV. Iâve noted on here it has been decades since I watched a TV news broadcast. I did watch the Superbowl this weekend. I watched it as much as a sociological experiment as I did for the game. Frankly, I havenât watched a Superbowl in so long I canât remember. But, itâs very interesting to gain perspective watching the halftime shows, the TV ads, etc.

It is no coincidence I posted that the stock market as a percentage of GDP was in the ozone and that Robert Schillerâs earnings calculator were screaming warning signs just weeks before the market started gyrating wildly to the downside in 2018. There were some external factors pointing to a very overheated market.

I donât post often anymore but the world is starting to heat up again. While Iâm not a big fan of Donald Trump, I did write on here the day before the elections that if I used history as a guide, he would win the election. No one, and I mean no one, in the mainstream gave that thought even the most remote of possibilities.

Before I get to my next post where I'll talk about China, the U.S. and trade, just a few remarks of the insanity of this world. The world certainly is a profoundly interesting place right now. Not in a good way, either. And, so are the political wranglings in Washington. It appears FBI Director McCabe was investigating the United States Attorney General before he was fired. It appears this may have come at the request of some in Congress but to be honest, I have no idea what the law is around this.I'd imagine the answers can be found online if I really wanted to find out. But, can a few congresspeople seek an investigation of the attorney general and use the FBI? Or, does this need to be voted on by one or both houses of Congress? Or, what is required to direct the FBI to investigate the AG, whom the FBI reports to? I don't know off of the top of my head. But, I doubt anyone else does either. That's how bizarre this world is.

Just a quick post on an interview with Alan Dershowitz that is completely on point regarding special counsels and how our legal system has been headed down the rabbit hole for generations. The article and interview are here. (A long time theme on here is the ultimate collapse of both political parties in this nation.)

I want to get up a post on trade, tariffs and China in the coming week or so but I also want to address what is happening in our nation at this very moment. First, some quick remarks about Trump and the investigation into his behavior and then a post about Facebook and the dystopian corporate state.

I watched about ten minutes of Mark Zuckerbergâs testimony before Congress and thatâs about all I needed. To hear the terminology Facebook uses inside of the company and referring to its users as the âcommunityâ was very uncomfortable. When he referenced the happiness of the community, it was even more disturbing. Especially, since this is an overriding and incredibly movement within all corporations today. Iâll be talking more about this in an upcoming post on Jeffersonâs reference to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Itâll expose just how f*cked up our society is and how ignorant corporations have made us.

First off, I have a post written on the âtrade warsâ we are witnessing today but I need to shorten it a bit. Trade tensions are not going away. For the last dozen years Iâve written extensively of what was coming. Itâs now here. The status quo and the economic aristocracy are both fighting to hold onto what they have gained albeit often ill-gotten. They will fail.
