Has covid killed globalization?

The Economist magazine online wants to know, "Has covid killed globalization"?  Well, long time readers know that no, covid didn't really do anything.  Globalization was a liberal herding construct whose current form was trying to be rammed through for the wrong reasons by the wrong people.  A bunch of asshat liberals wanted to be little dictators in one big pyramidal structure so that they could sit on top of everyone and have a great life while doing very little.

We know covid did not kill liberalism nor did it kill the federal reserves balance sheet because both of these things were clearly predicted to blow up as part and parcel of the end of the Global Debt Ponzi (GDP) whose enabler was fake money but whose root cause was simply the cyclic peak of liberalism in the herd.  We know I'm right about these things because I have been predicting them in a fashion so straightforward, and to be sure, in your face for over a decade now.  Long before the social cracks were present I warned everyone that these directional changes of trend are turbulent, just like a spoon changing direction in your coffee.  These trend changes are actually healthy.  When it gets too one way, it sows the seeds for going the other.  My stock market experience has taught me that and since everything is a fractal, it has to be true at various degrees of abstraction and scale.

Covid was just a convenient excuse for the herd to cling onto as the turbulence got very bad.  It was something to focus on and in a way we are lucky to have gotten it because otherwise, as I warned many times, we could be headed to war.  In fact it is not clear that we will avoid war but if we can focus enough of our aggression fighting the battle of covid maybe we won't end up needing to kill each other. 

In any case, it's good to see that those who are slow on the uptake by about a decade are finally beginning to see things that I have been talking about for many years now.  When people see clearly, things go better and liberalism was like being in a virtual reality chamber.  It still hasn't broken down yet but more and more people are waking up, taking the red pill and coming out of their waking slumber.

When they do expect them to see clearly enough to understand that:
  • The stock market is for gambling, NOT saving your life's stored labor!
  • Gold is money, and nothing else is.  Silver and platinum are partially money.
  • Possession is 9/10ths of the law.
  • He who has the gold makes the rule.
  • Paper currency is not money, it's a con game and everyone who stores their long term wealth in paper assets will get the same treatment as Madoff victims.
  • The concept of a two man job is not strange; it is the most effective way to work.  But it absolutely does not take a village to do every little thing.  Those who give up their freedom for a false notion of being cared for or having safety will end up un-cared for and without either freedom or safety.
  • Real money can be borrowed and lent but doing either cannot change the size of the money supply.  Anything else is a fucking con game, period.  And anyone trying to institute it is a thief and a traitor to their nation because once this con game is put into play, at some point the debt will because the biggest matter of national security ever encountered by a nation.
  • Fractional reserve banks are a bigger threat to a nation than any standing army.
  • Those who give up their guns eventually doom a nation to a long period of servitude followed by an overly bloody revolt.  They are cowards and fools.

Ad based revenue model is slowly dying.

I predicted long ago that ad based revenue model was going to die off when the global debt ponzi (GDP) went into the collapse stage.  The reasons I gave were clear: debt is liberal and the collapse of the GDP is thus related to the collapse of liberalism in the herd.  The pendulum has swung too far left and it's become counter productive and the herd feels it now.  So the swing right will continue (until it too goes too damned far 50 years hence).  Since liberals tend to love free stuff even if it has ads whereas conservatives like me would prefer to pay for content and simply receive less of it but with no ads, the trend towards conservatism would be a trend to think more like me.

Today, NY post reports that financial news site Quartz is leaving the ad revenue model behind.

"Financial news site Quartz is laying off 80 people and shutting its physical offices in London, San Francisco, Hong Kong and Washington DC in response to the coronavirus advertising collapse that has forced dramatic cutbacks across a slew of publications.
CEO Zach Seward broke the news to employees Thursday, saying the eight-year-old company, which posted its first ever profit in 2017, would embark on a new strategy that emphasized paid subscriptions over advertising revenue. Seward said that the company had 17,680 paid subscribers at the end of April."

So now they will keep their most conservative writers and they will live within their means and they will stop chasing ad revenue model income.  Anyone who can think ahead even just a little bit should thus realize that Google's days as a market king are numbered.  Google is all about ads.  It's where all of their revenue comes from.

Congrats to Wisconsin patriots who demanded the end of corona con game

Wisconsin patriots filed a lawsuit against the state lock down edict on the grounds that the greasy liberal operative who mandated it, Andrea Palm, had exceeded her unelected authority.  Today, the WI supreme court sided with the people in killing the order by decree.  In addition there are now public calls for her to be fired coming from politicians who were actually elected.  Guess where this is heading folks?  The liberals will be shouted down because the American herd has had enough of covid bullshit fear mongering in order to drive socio-economic and political agendas.



Department of Health Services Secretary Andrea Palm can be identified as a liberal from 200 yards away  Just look at her.  There is certainly "a type" at work here.  It's not all by choice or by environmental upbringing that these people act the way that they do.  I'd bet a tidy sum that it is genetic.
