Woah... new conservative hat thrown into US presidential race??

Well this is very unusual to say the least: right before the US presidential elections are set to take place, a new "3rd party" candidate has entered the scene with financial backing from the conservative GOPs old school, what little may remain of them.  As I have been saying for a while now, Trump is a liberal who is simply a different liberal than Hillary.  Both are sneaky little shits.  Would it not be something if that conservative wind that I have been writing about for some time now has finally blown someone into the playing field who will be a true conservative?

I'll be sure to write more about this Evan McMullin as I learn more about him and analyze the things he says.  McMullin is at least leading with the right words, "In a year where Americans have lost faith in the candidates of both major parties, it's time for a generation of new leadership to step up... It's never too late to do the right thing, and America deserves much better than either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton can offer us. I humbly offer myself as a leader who can give millions of disaffected Americans a conservative choice for President."

I think this guy is going to get a serious look by the herd.  Gary Johnson just didn't have the financial backing to be a serious contender but McMullin just might.  People are ready for change and Trump/Clinton are just the same old shit.  Is McMullin really any better?  After all, he's ex CIA and ex Goldman Sachs.  So the answer is "probably not".   So I assume that he is in league with those who want to remain slave owners of the US herd.  At the same time I think that someone with his background will know that when things get into this state that there is high risk that the people will revolt and so if you want to head off revolt you have to give the people some real hope.  Neither Clinton nor Trump have any idea how to do that but the CIA and Goldman Sach's likely do.  A vote for McMullin therefore is likely a vote for medium term but broad sweeping reduction of organized crime in the government in exchange for extension of the longer term banker control of the people.

In any case, the people will benefit for some period of time under a McMullin IMO.

What do you call these bitcoin users?

Following up from this recent post it has now been verified that hacked bitcoin exchange has imposed a 36% "stupid tax" on all bitcoin assets under its control.  Yes, the exchange's crap security allowed the theft but the users of this fake virtual money are eating the loss.  What do we call that??  Yep: privatizing gains and socializing losses.  An old trick of the elite.

The only thing I can think of is to remind all users of fake money that they should change their names to Mark and Patsy in order to best reflect their understanding of what is going on here.  In other words, they have the same understanding as any target of a confidence game.  Namely, little to none.

John Mauldin's best prediction ever.

John Mauldin is a well known economist who I have been reading for quite some time now.  I have generally observed him to be shooting behind the duck a bit but he recovers more quickly than most of his peers and gets back on point pretty quickly.  His latest FreeMail was written by someone named Patrick Watson who John calls his associate.  So even though Mauldin didn't write the following, he allowed it to be written in his FreeMail so I assume he agrees with it.  In any case, Patrick writes,
"Globalization ramped up slowly for a century or so before entering a new phase in the 1960s. I was born in 1964, so the explosion of the global economy roughly spans my lifetime. Mine is the first globalized generation. But if I reach 100, I suspect I will see children of a de-globalized generation.

That’s my theory: We are going full circle.
Humanity spent the last 50 years globalizing. Now, thanks to certain technologies, that whole process is going in reverse. I think historians will mark the 2008 financial crisis as the turning point:  Peak Globalization.
 I don’t say this because I want a de-globalized world. What any of us want or don’t want is irrelevant. I believe the transition will happen whether any of us want it or not.
It will not happen in a linear fashion, though. The process that brought us to this point had starts, stops, and slowdowns. Reverse globalization will have ups and downs, too, but a new set of technologies will keep pushing it forward.".

Ding ding ding.  We have a winner.  This is exactly how I have been describing things as well.  The run up of global debt make everyone want to work together but as the credit peaks there will be dis-unification and a trend toward nationization.  At a lower fractal level, states will take back more and more power from the federal government.  I suspect that there will even come a time when some state, perhaps my home state of Texas or maybe conservative Utah, will announce a state currency that competes with the greenback.  I know, I know, sounds insane.  But how many times have my insanities eventually turned into common sense in the fullness of time? More than my fair share I reckon.  And the reason for that is simple: I understand how fake money works; how it changes the behavior of the herd.  As the hold of fake money weakens upon the herd, the herd will go back to the old ways of us vs them.  Trust will no longer be given out easily for the con men to take advantage of.  Once bitten will again result in twice shy.

As Watson says, it doesn't matter if you want it or not.  The writing is on the wall for those with the eyes to see it.

Bitcoin is a total scam.

A bitcoin exchange trading out of Hong Kong was hacked and according to their reports, $68mn in bitcoins were stolen.  In response, they want to generously "share" the losses with all the users.  What kind of a shitty, shady deal is that?

If you store your money in a bank and the bank is robbed, the bank is covered by insurance and you lose nothing.  But in the new world of even faker money if someone breaks through the exchanges cyberwall and then ransacks the place, the idiot morons using the faker money take the loss.  Who is to say that the exchange was even hacked???  Take their word for it??  If so, that is just too gullible.  How do you know it wasn't an inside job?

This cannot happen when using real money but many are not happy with the security of gold and silver coins and so this is what they get.  They asked for it, they got it.

The Supernova Economy and what will warn us to take shelter.

I've been posting about something I've been calling the SuperNova economy for a long time.  There are two meanings that I have always had for this:

- A supernova dies by collapsing in upon itself.  This is analogous to deflation.  In other words, there is not enough new credit being created to keep the money supply from shrinking as many pay off or default on their debts.  Since credit creation increases the money supply, debt destruction (be it be pay off or default) shrinks the money supply.  Once a supernova collapse hits a critical stage it triggers and explosion and everything is blown outward resulting in most of the matter being ejected from the dying star.  All of this happens very quickly.  The economic equivalent of the explosion is called a currency event.  Essentially the people lose confidence in the issuing authority of the currency and so they get rid of it like a hot potato as quickly as possible.  The velocity of money sky rockets and we have hyperinflation which, when complete, leaves little value remaining relative to the original currency.

- super no va.  "Ir" is the Spanish verb meaning "to go".  "Va" is the conjugation of that verb meaning "he, she or it goes".  So no va means it doesn't go.  Add the super to the front of it and it means it really doesn't go.  And that is perfectly descriptive of an economy which is first racked by deflation and then subsequently pounded by hyperinflation.

In a recent goldseek.com article, smart guy Gordon Long tells us why it must eventually happen while mixing in a bit of light technical analysis indicating when he thinks it will happen.  It's all very complex looking for most people so let me keep it simple.  The following chart is one I have been watching for a long time now. It shows the velocity of money being in absolute free fall since just around the time of dot bomb until now.  You see, the world never really recovered from that even though the stock markets have gone much higher.  The real economy is not the stock market.

In any case at some point relatively soon 5 waves down will have transpired and when that occurs this chart is going to turn up again.  That could be the start of Gordon Long's expected currency event.  He's now stating it should be in the 2017 time frame where I have long said that I see evidence enough to suspect that 2017 to be a key year as well.



The rise of conservatism, today's evidence point

You very rarely hear the conservative element in Hollywood speak their mind strongly.  Oh sure, Charlton Heston and Clint Eastwood got away with the occasional conservative spouting off but they are Gollywood royalty (was in the case of Heston of course).  The rank and file don't get to talk like that without career limiting repercussions.

That is the message of Antonio Sabato jr. today as you can read in this article.  Of course, poor Antonio doesn't really understand that Trump is a flaming liberal in action if not in name anymore.  Trump has been a democrat in the past and has been very chummy with his new "enemy" Hillary:





But let's forget all that.  Let's forget that Trump is a serial bankruptcy artist (and therefore not conservative in action).  Under control of the peak of global liberalism and the growing conservative wave, the herd wants to pendulum away from the liberal politically correct crowd and they are willing to support anyone they can find who they think has a chance. 

Trump's only advantages are his perceived iconoclastic nature and his complete lack of political correctness.  It's not the political correctness which the herd really hates, its the fact that political correctness has been used as a control mechanism pushing the herd far off the center that it feels comfortable with.  The herd was willing to put up with the increased control over it while the engine of temporary prosperity, AKA debt, was growing for everyone.  Now the debt is just growing for the government while fewer and fewer people avoid huge debt even if it means living in a prison of a home like the so called tiny homes which often total a meager 300 sq ft in living area.

In any case more and more people will see vocal push back like Sabbato's and it will inspire them to push back as well.  They will self organize and they will create a viable leadership threat to the existing liberal Hollywood royalty that is running the show today.  In 20 years people could even possibly be calling Hollywood a new conservative Mecca.  I know, seems crazy today.  But as the entrenched liberal idiots of Hollywood die off, people like Sabato who have a strong voice and who show no fear will likely take over the leadership reins going forward.

Clint Eastwood might have played the part of cowboy but he's still part of the herd.

Per this article today, Clint Eastwood proves that he is just as affected by societal swings as everyone else.  What does Clint like about Trump?  Well, there really is not much to like IMO but what little Trump has is clearly something that the herd wants badly these days which is leadership that departs from the control mechanism called political correctness.

Under the guise of words like inclusion and safety, the elite have been steadily ramping up their control mechanism.  If you say or do anything outside of these boundaries, the political correctness police will chastise you publicly or even have your job in revenge.  Most people don't see it happening, how it changes everyone from being independent thinkers and actors into docile sheeple following every stupid edict from a bunch of people who are corrupt to the core and who are gaming the system for ever nickel they can.

The result of this crap is obvious: those who are making these rules and running the show keep getting richer and richer despite having done nothing of economic merit in order to receive that wealth.  Folks, wealth does not appear magically!  It has to be created.  And so if someone ends up with most of it and you end up with little of it despite the fact that you work just as hard, just as many hours as the rich guy, then the ONLY way the rich guy could get rich was by either stealing your wealth from you OR more likely, tricking you out of with with what Aleister Crowley called "Magick".  Magick is essentially mind control of the easily confused if you haven't already figured it out.  Magick is taking advantage of the herding nature and the human nature of people and using it against them as a weapon of gain.  Gain control, gain power, gain profit.

Magick doesn't work forever.  It is, like every Jedi mind trick, a short term thing only.  Pet the crocodile's head a few time and you can stick your arm in its mouth to show how you have control over the beast.  Control, that is, until the croc unexpectedly wake up in the middle of the show, chomps down on your arm and twists it off.  When the big cats on the plains snarl and bare their teeth the water buffalo run away in fear.  That is until they don't.  Until they realize that the lions are basically fur rugs that can be stomped and gored into lifelessness at the very whim of the herd.

I've posted many times that the credit deflation will claim fake political correctness as a victim in many posts like this one which was done way back in 2010.  Nothing I said there has changed in any way.  In fact, the rise of a loudmouth ass like Trump shows an exponential decline in society's tolerance for, well, tolerance.

Folks if we think it is bad in the US then just wait until our entire debt bomb explodes.  Anyone who thinks that exponentially rising debt, which is exactly what we have all over the world, is some kind of sustainable strategy is a blithering idiot.  Sooner or later the people will give up confidence in the leaders and in the very system.  When that happens, and it will happen at some point in the next few years, the idiots who supported all this borrow and spend crap (i.e. liberals) will be the first to complain about the coming bust because they are counting on it lasting forever whereas we conservatives know it cannot.

Forget the 401k.  Cost average into gold and silver for the long run and then you will be assured of having something to sustain yourself in retirement.  Fail to do this at your own peril because people like me are not saving enough wealth in real money (gold and silver coins) to help those who had the chance but who did not help themselves.  No excuses will be heard.  And if some of the then newly awakened (AKA disenfranchised liberals) try to take by force what is the property of the savers (true conservatives) then it will be a sad day for the Loud Liberals because we have been saving our labor into guns and bullets in addition to gold, silver and food.
