House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has proposed the next multi-trillion dollar “coronavirus relief” spending bill that will support testing, tracing, treatment, isolation, and mask policies that have been part of a “national strategic plan” she has been advocating. The Trump administration is not opposing Pelosi’s plan on principle. Instead, it is haggling over the price. But, even if the strategic plan could be implemented at little or no monetary cost, it would still impose an unacceptable cost in lost liberty. Pelosi’s plan will lead to either a federal mask mandate or federal funding of state and local mask mandate enforcement. Those...
“It is an act of evil to accept the state of evil as either inevitable or final.” Abraham Joshua Heschel—The Prophets, 1962, Volume 1, p. 181 We are in the midst of evil at every turn, and the driving force behind it is apathy and false fear. In the past, (and currently) the state, allegedly in the name of good, committed acts of aggressive war against much of the world, all without cause. The ruling class always needs fear and distraction in order to gain wealth, power, and control, and so long as the people accept the state narrative and do nothing, the evil...
Escape From New York: Wealthy Residents Flee In Droves As The City Degenerates Into A Hellhole Tyler Durden Tue, 08/11/2020 - 23:25 Authored by Michael Snyder via TheMostImportantNews.com,
Hundreds of thousands of wealthy residents have already left New York City, and more are leaving every day as America’s biggest city rapidly degenerates into a hellhole. This is incredibly sad to watch, because in many ways New York had been an incredible success story over the past several decades.
The 1970s and 1980s were nightmarish times...
Gundlach, Who Correctly Called The 2016 Presidential Election, Predicts Trump Will Win Again Tyler Durden Tue, 08/11/2020 - 23:05 Back in early, DoubleLine's Jeff Gundlach made a prediction that was viewed as anathema in "serious" circles: he said that Donald Trump would win the 2016 presidential election. And much to the chagrin of all his "serious" colleagues, he was proven correct which is why earlier today we said that the one thing we were most curious about from Gundlach's latest webcast was who...
Precious Metal Pummeling Continues In Early Asia Trading Tyler Durden Tue, 08/11/2020 - 22:45 As Bloomberg's Mark Cranfield noted this evening, small reversals are just not gold’s style after a major advance (typically somewhere between a 15% and 20% drop is more common), and the selling pressure on precious metals has continued as Japan and then China opens this evening with Silver futures back at a $23 handle and Gold futures back below $1900.

Al een half jaar hangt de donkere corona wolk boven ons. Jensen is erg pessimistisch over het terugkrijgen van onze vrijheden. Maar ik zie toch een paar lichtpuntjes. Op mijn Facebook pagina zie ik meer en meer mensen de acties van overheden in twijfel trekken. Hopelijk worden de verantwoordelijke politieke partijen afgestraft voor de vergaande […]
2 % van onze energie komt van wind. (cijfer Nederlandse Vereniging Duurzame Energie). Terwijl nu al het hele land vol staat met die vlees-vogel-molens. Denk je eens in als we 8% uit windenergie zouden moeten halen: 4 keer zo veel molens: bijna geen horizon meer en staan ze onderhand in elkaars luwte. “Ja maar dan […]
Judy Shelton, a Trump nominee to the Fed Board of Governors, may not have coined the excellent term “Fed Bug,” but she used it to delicious effect in this 2019 Financial Times interview: “People call me a goldbug, and I think, well, what does that make them? A Fed bug,” she says. Can anyone the New York Times attacks this dishonestly be all bad? For our purposes, Fed Bugs are people with a faith-based belief in the power of central banks (and central bankers) to engineer economic growth using “monetary policy,”despite decades of history and current evidence to the contrary. They believe tinkering with inputs and rates and velocity and flows...
Het heeft geen zin, het volgende onder het tapijt te vegen. Ook wie voorstander is van een meer libertarisch immigratiebeleid, zal moeten incalculeren, dat in de nabije toekomst curruptie en aan corruptie gelieerde verschijnselen in de Nederlandse samenleving in niet geringe mate zullen toenemen. De immigrant vanuit de zonnige corrupte landen brengt bij immigratie immers […]
