Debt Rattle December 19 2024

Gold down $62. Really? Does that fit with the worldwide bond issues right now?

Uhhh, .50c – no $1.00 — on the US$, 108!! 10% since October?? Would that say yes and related? GDX/USDX And nothing in the news? Really? So sort of media blackout as this happens underground, that means they don’t want YOU to move yet. Sell/Buy yet.

Dow down 1,100 in one day! …Of course at ludicrous speed, 45k that’s only 2% now. Follow any Cullom, this is true of all the old timers who have all given up, the valuations are like 40x fair value. Minimum. A 2/3 drop to FAIR value (they always overshoot, so 90% which is standard). Trying to phrase that another way, the whole market is unmoored from reality, that’s why it can go from 36,000 to 45,000 on a deadly recession and world war. What you may not get, since it is rare and only at the end is, it has nothing to do with sales, values, companies, anything. Money FLEES into Stocks in a “Hyperinflation”…or the front edge thereof. The manipulators have figured out how to SLOW a hyperinflation and blowoff and do pretty well with that. But to an extent, that’s what’s happening.

Okay, and THEN? To me – and I’ve got nothing to go on, these forces will suddenly blow out and reverse, then reverse again – the US$ keeps going UP, it dies by going UP. So you’ve got a US$ up 10% AND a Dow up 30%, so for foreigners in foreign money what does that look like to them? You tell me Canada, you’re in the middle zone of seeing this. Gold is $4k/oz there.

$1,500/year. That’s over 50%.

“Trump-Dump: Markets Plunge As Post-Election Powell “Unexpectedly” Turns Ultra Hawkish

Do they live in a different universe than I do? I thought Powell CUT .25? That’s not “Ultra Hawkish”, that’s not even “Hawkish”, that’s “Mildly Dovish”. AND doing that with Inflation and etc also re-starting (It was 12%, prices then doubled, it had plateaued for a while) back to 12% as seems likely is arguably Ultra Dovish.

Okay, words no longer have meanings because everybody’s lying. But what’s the game-play? Powell is 4% above everybody else IN a better country/position/economy. Than Germany, UK, and possibly China. So we remain the world currency and rising to 108. We die by going UP. Invest in the Dow and if it goes nowhere, foreigners make 10% on currency arb.

Adding, if it doesn’t immediately occur: what is Trump’s position on entry in such an economy? Dow 45k, High dollar keeping commodity prices “down”, world investment, currency flows.

“Poland Mandates Firearm Lessons in Schools” –Armstrong

Liberals love firearms! Safety first! If even ONE life is saved…

“One would think that the government would permit the people to protect themselves after the Nazi occupation. Instead, Minister of Public Security Stanisław Radkiewicz invalidated all gun licenses on July 15, 1945. Strict regulations remained in place until 1961…”

Stop conquering us! Or I’ll shout “Stop conquering us” again! Don’t make me signal at you: you’ll be very, very sorry!

Meanwhile, Russia says nothing and shoots things. Your choice.

Speaking of, the SPECIFIC guy they murdered in Moscow, sooo…what you’re saying is, you’re trying for a false flag but this guy was too good for you and had been stopping them all, right London? That’s why we have drones stopping them right there in NJ, but no drones on the Thames because you like that sort of thing, shut off all the cameras for it? Got it.

“..The Israelis – within days – totally eviscerated the defence infrastructure of the state in more than 450 air strikes: missile air defences, Syrian air force helicopters and aircraft, the navy and the armouries – all destroyed in the “largest air operation in Israel’s history”.

Carrying on with Turkey’s takeover of the Ottoman Empire (including Greece) what does that mean? Well it’s d—n terrible for Syria, but it also means ISRAEL IS OUT OF WEAPONS. Roughly. I know they didn’t waste as many as usual, and militarily they almost couldn’t help it, but they very suddenly had to shift from shooting off a few .223 rounds a week at 12-year-olds throwing rocks, to leveling a nation three times their size.

Sooo…If you all turned around and invaded Israel today, what would happen? Egypt, Jordan, Iran, Turkey. ‘Just asking.

“..The Anglo-Americans would love to have Iran’s oil again – as they did until the 1970s – to collateralise and build a new money system tied to the real value inherent in commodities.”

Yes. This is the whole “Long Plan”. We put Iran’s resources on ice not to have a bidding war between them that drops the oil price to $5/bbl. I mean, no Kissinger Rockefeller wants that! Then later, you take them OUT of storage, flip the regime pro-west, and steal all their stuff. You know – a day after Gawar begins to fail. Who’s with me?

Now HOW do you do it? You need a forward operating base on tap. And shucks whaddya know we just happen to have one! We totally were only keeping there for no practical reason at all! Who’s been Iran’s single arch enemy, 400 miles away, no common borders at all, their whole lives, while Iran ignores them.
I mean: What are the odds?

So if you want to know why we didn’t ally with the smart people, the people with the oil who do NOT run genocides, who have the largest native regional Jewish population that’s why. If they were already our allies, on what premise would we lock up and not sell their oil? If their oil is locked up, how do we make SURE, and also have leverage 24/7 both to keep it that way and open it up on demand, in just a few months whenever they want. (To make Saudi disposable and keep them in line.)

But I am a coincidence theorist and the government tells me this is not happening. That’s good enough for me!

“Leftist Officials Move To Delay British Elections As Their Approval Ratings Collapse

Democracy means no elections! When we want your vote we’ll beat it out of you. That’s the Moosilini way!

Speaking of: Freeland was obviously the real PM. I mean, seems so to me. So Ukraine/Kpop Mafia failed, So Canada’s govt’ already fell, but they need to remove the puppet. ON THE BUDGET. Her budget is what 50% over expectations? All this crap is just distracting from that? But how/why? They need YOU to rise up and DEMAND him out, to ACT. Until you ACT, nothing is learned. They are teaching you to DO something, to be citizens again, and when you do, they hand you the cookie to train you to WIN. It’s right there for you, like a dog biscuit: but you have to learn to sit, and grab it. Good Boy.

Will you take the only candidate on earth that’s worse? Mark Carney? Budget/Bank/UK? No.

Same in UK, but a lot worse, way deeper underwater, far more entraining, far longer to undo it and make the citizens human and active again. UK is more brainwashed and evil than North Korea, and at this point almost as poor and dark. You can take Starmer out in a fortnight, but I can’t do it for you, I’m busy.

“Al-Qaeda Linked Julani Meets With British Diplomats, Discusses Removal From Terror List

You see AFTER you cut off 10 or 20 thousand heads, and rape say 1,000 women, that’s all in the PAST! Context! “What difference does it make at this point??” Let’s not worry about who genocided who, that’s all in the past! We don’t prosecute crimes that happened in the past! What matters is POWER, the “Eternal Now where the Party is always Right”.

Want an example? From yesterday, Assad is NOT a psychopath. He inherited the position. And that didn’t work at all, did it? He was soft. Putin and Iran are sitting looking at him with a non-stop Picard slap. What are you doing??? You need to BEAT these people! Show the Generals who’s boss! Make heads roll! Nope: he wants to flirt with his wife instead BECAUSE HE’S NOT A PSYCHOPATH.

…So if you were wondering my position on why Generals are Should be can be psychopaths and that may be a functional career choice for them. But they would need to be restrained by US, the non-psychopaths. Why? Well, “I’m in the Military: I get up every day and think excitedly, passionately: how do I kill the most people today?” Then I get up tomorrow and do the same thing! Every day of my life, every day of my career, with joy in my heart and that’s normal! You have to LOVE it, be happy about it, ready to go!

…And you expect NORMAL humans to accept and prosper at this job? No. NORMAL humans will NOT be good at figuring out how to kill the most people with no feeling each day, then not only planning it, but DOING it. No. However, again, that’s why they have to be restrained by US, the People. Like Dr. Strangelove and his General’s theories. I know you’re all psychos, but you work for ME. Like Mike in Breaking Bad. Mike wouldn’t even — necessarily – kill you: It’s work and it’s annoying. It’s unsafe. However, if you annoy him properly, he also would kill you just for talking to him wrong. That’s fine, it makes good manners. Most grizzlies won’t kill you, but some will. That’s life, I can’t stop that. Now do you want a killer in the military, or a non-killer?

We’re all making fun of Israel’s Tranny Army, so I guess we all know how we stand here.

Expectation: Somebody want to put some drones in that painting?

Kind of. But that takes the other 500 guys too. They’re weaker than he is. WTF would you not shut down the government right now? That keeps Biden from doing some of the s—t he’s been doing. People will have to come in and shred documents on their own nickel now.

P.S., I thought the deal – the only deal – with Gaetz, etc, was to have SINGLE BILLS. No omnibus roll-up bills. I blinked and forgot, that’s all in the past now.

“• Kiev Regime Kills Russian General To Hide The Truth About Bioweapons (SCF)

No need to belabor the point, but you did notice the BIRD FLU part of this, right? As they can’t find a solid DNA tie to all Russians (or Americans), they are planning to release migratory bird flocks which return to Russia carrying deadly bioweapon of our lab-created bird flu. It’s in the news because it’s on deck, as soon as we can make it happen.

…Meanwhile, back in reality, the PRESENT Bird flu is so dangerous, it’s impossible to tell you have it since you have zero symptoms. …It also refuses to transmit. Front Page News!! Panic!!!

““..there are rules of warfare and there are certain things that you just kind of don’t do.”

The point of this is not doing it or not doing it: everyone knows you CAN do it. It’s because if you START doing it, then your people likewise get whacked. Again, NBC, BBC, Times Radio, “Putin is Embarrassed…” Wtf should he be embarrassed and what difference would that make? Everyone knows all NATO is attacking him, are evil as f—k, and have no rules of war. These actions should make NATO embarrassed, not Putin. So they PRINT it, as if Russia will oust him, “Bombshell, walls are closing in, palace coup, news at 11.” Okay man.

“Ukraine can only hope to join NATO if it reforms its military and succeeds in improving its democratic institutions, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken”

Who? Blinken has NO POWER OVER THIS. In so, so, so many ways. First: he’s out, perhaps for good. Second, he decides nothing. Third, it would take all NATO members. Fourth, NATO can’t join during a war. Fifth, these words mean nothing, both Ukraine and Turkey have been strung along for 25 YEARS. Sixth, Did they ask Russia? Seventh…why go on? Blinken doesn’t run anything, everyone on earth ignores him including me.

“Pistorius added that, as the EU’s largest economy, Germany “would play a role there,”

The Expectation 1936 ~Richard Oelze

Oreshnik is Coming

From Andrei Martyanov’s Blog

Put on your Science & Engineering Hat Kids

Dmitry Orlov Came Up With A Hypothesis…

… about the nature of Oreshnik

A Theory

Around a century ago it was noticed that when a fast-flying lead bullet or shell hits steel armor, it releases an amount of heat many times greater than the kinetic energy of the projectile (which is half the mass times its velocity squared, E_k=1/2 mv^2)

Enough heat to burn a hole right through a steel plate.

The reason for this anomaly is the same: electron inertia.

The binding energy in the crystal lattice of metals is approximately twice as large as that released during the explosive oxidation of TNT.

At first glance, the explosion should not be much larger than that produced by a conventional explosive — about twice as large.

The difference is that the time it takes to release this energy is hundreds of times shorter than during the chemical oxidation reaction in TNT and the energy from it is much more concentrated.

Because of this, the destructive power of a Coulomb explosion can be 1000 times greater than that of a conventional explosive.

Of course, this is not a nuclear explosion: no atomic nuclei are in any way damaged during this experiment.

But it is comparable in its effects, which are much greater than what can be achieved using TNT.

For a bit of perspective, consider that 1 kg of uranium-235 can in theory (if every single atom of it undergoes nuclear fission) result in an explosion equivalent to 20 million kg of TNT.

In reality, uranium is never enriched to 100% U-235 (anything above 90% is considered weapons-grade) and only a few percent of the U-235 have time to participate in a nuclear chain reaction before the whole contraption blows up.

More realistically, a 1 kg nuclear charge is equivalent to about a million kg of TNT (or 1 kiloton).

Meanwhile, 1 kg of metal in a Coulomb explosion will release energy equivalent to about a thousand kg of TNT (or 1 tonne).

Nevertheless, these are still huge numbers.

And now we can address the question of what Oreshnik most likely is.

Here is what has been publicly announced about it:

Warhead temperature: 4000ºC

Speed: Mach 10 (2.5–3 km/s)

Mass of warhead: ~1.5 tonnes

Perusing Dmitry Mendeleev’s Periodic Table of Elements we find just one candidate for warhead metal:

Tungsten

It melts at 3422ºC and boils at 5555ºC.

Taking the mass of the Oreshnik warhead (which, we assume for the sake of simplicity, consists entirely of a single shaped piece of tungsten) at 1,500 kg:

It produces the equivalent of 1,500,000 kg of TNT or 1,5 kilotons

A respectable amount for a small tactical nuke.

This is why Oresnik is such a genuine Game Changer

The punch of a tactical nuke, the accuracy of a sniper rifle

The penetrating power of multiple giant bunker busters

And no radiation or dust blast going into the stratosphere…..

What not to like ;>)

Hmm…
Populism is powerful — it tends to have gurus who are old, adherents of many ages, and followers who are young often have fervent zeal. Likewise, populism is dangerous — masses of people will operate under a “hive mind” rather than thinking issues. through on their merits. Communism and Nazism and Robespierre and other such movement have shown us how populism can be harnessed to take people down dark paths. At the same time, there are populist movements that have achieved noble purposes: the American Revolution, Ghandi in India, the ending of Apartheid in South Africa, etc. We have powerful entities today who try to create and/or steer populist movements for their own purposes (the CIA and others, with movements such as BLM, LGB@#$&, Maidan, countless terror groups,) as well as hamstring any organic populist movement that they cannot control (Tea Party, MAGA, Occupy Wall Street, Canadian truckers in ‘22, etc.)

I suppose that one of the terrifying outcomes of communism is that it showed the powerful that steering a populist movement could successfully keep a small group in control of masses of people for decades, for generations. At the same time, “red fear” and branding others as “Nazi” has been stoked to attempt to brand all organic populism as dangerous and leading to communism/fascism. What is really going on is that populism condoned by the powerful is fomented and/or steered by the powerful, while those in power try to destroy or co-opt all populism that is not under their sway.

.

I have a few problems with “Communism works when it is done at the family level”

First, this sounds like standard meatsuiting – I am that thing you love, so kneel before Zod.

Second, current-year marxists are actively working various strategies, policies, etc to destroy family.

Third, those current-year markets SAY that’s what they are doing and what their goal is. As far as they are concerned Family = Capitalism and Year Zero will only be achieved when it is smashed. Also nations. Ie TRIBES.

So – “You like tribes? WE are that thing you love. Kneel before Zod. You like families? We are that thing you love. Kneel before Zod” WHILE as 1st priority destroying family and nation – the micro and macro ends of normal human interaction and organization. (they concluded they need to be anti human to achieve the desired Year Zero)

Claiming to BE the thing while trying to DESTROY the thing. NOT in any kind of cognitive dissonance or confusion. Pragmatism is what advances communism. If claiming to Be That Thing You Love and destroy it are both Pragmatic, then they are perfectly aligned. NOT at all conflicted.

Fourth, if Family is a form of Communism, then I would expect to hear QUITE a lot of marxists, communists, and socialists being continually, ubiquiotously, loudly against current year marxism — STOP!! STOP RUINING MY SOCIALISM/MARXISM/COMMUNISM!!!! But nary a peep.

If the people claiming Communism is Family are ALSO the people not raising a peep, logically, I have to presume that is because it is PRAGMATIC. Family is a basic part of being human. Very common. Part of most peoples’ lives, thus particularly important. Like having air to breathe. Family is Communism, but there is no vocal bloc of – of course! naturally! – traditionalist Family-Tribe Socialist/Communist/Marxist traditionalists vehemently defending Family and Nation (their TRIBE)

I’m not even communist and I’m unhappy with the current-year marxists, find myself complaining bitterly. Being part of geek culture, I’m mad about marxists ruining Star Wars and D&D. It’s my thing, and one way you can tell I care is, I overtly say stop ruining my thing. Where are these staunch Pro-Family Traditionalist Communists complaining about marxists ruining their marxism, their traditional family marxism? So the family claim is pragmatism. Not an actual idea at all. Just the proper lever to be depressed at the proper time. Certainly not conversation.

Not being myself a Communist, I need to check around with experts – the communists themselves. To find Traditionalist-Communism that is pro family, pro tribe therefore pro nation (nationalist socialism? Tribes are, after all, nations) what lengths do I have to go to?

I cannot get away from current year marxists and at this point, I cannot even avoid being browbeaten with the hegalian underpinnings OF their thinking just to have a JOB. My TV and my Chair and my Toaster are screaming current-year marxist epithets at me at this point. Inescapable and ubiquitous.

By contrast, I can find ONE person saying Communism is Family. Back when I took a marxist “anthropology” course, I was assured Tribes Are Communism, We Are That Thing You Love, but with my recent refresher course in current year marxist critical theory from a few weeks ago, it occurs to me that these tribes would be full of traditionalists who would regard the marxists as totally alien in worldview as well as horribly toxic.

If it WERE so, if it were remotely plausible, I’d see hordes of Democrats, Socialists, Marxists, Communists fighting shoulder to shoulder with Christians for traditional family values, right? And that’s totally happening. Somewhere in the multiverse perhaps.

I’m sure there’s some word-cloud of double-triple-meanings invented to overlap real words people use for me to wander around in for the next year figuring out, deciphering, that “explains” it to me, but I’m pretty sure, having followed that path multiple times in the past decade, that’s where it goes. Not interested in the same marxist goldberg machine with a new paint job for the millionth time.

I do not believe it. It’s obviously just another case of being pragmatic.

Rather than jumping in and saying, “Yeah, maybe Marxism DOES = Family’ I’m going to watch and see if a horde of Traditionalist-Family-Value-Communists rise up to overthrow the current marxists, broadcast their family values message, change the college curriculums and stuff through their Long March to be Traditionalist Family Values, engage in a relentless full-spectrum slandering of current-year Marxists based on THEIR take on families, and so on. I’ll just watch for it.

Almost forgot – the whole premise of Communism, Socialism, Marxism is like a Banker – to insert oneself as a middle-man in person to person transactions.

Just, instead of only financial transactions and taking a cut, it’s ALL human interactions, ALL associations.

Inserting oneself BETWEEN everyone: “No. Stop Cooperating. Instead, you must cOoPeRaTe through me, always through me” Also like the Catholic Church saying you have to go through a Priest to have your Person-God transaction. Same bankster-type transaction/middleman relationship.

Just like the Protestant movement saying no, humans can have a DIRECT relation with god, I’d need to see a Communist Reformation that affirms direct human interaction. I don’t know what they’d have left of their own belief system after they do that, but THAT is specifically the Revolution Of Communists Against Current Year Communism I would need to see to give credence to Communism = Family, Communism = Tribe.

NYT Panics Over Outrage at Insurance Companies
​ The Wall Street Journal and New York Post, as well as Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post editorial board, not only decried the widespread support for Mangione but fought back against legitimate criticism of the health insurance industry.
​ Now the New York Times is in full-scale panic mode over the widespread boiling anger against the health insurance industry the killing has laid bare (CNN, 12/6/24; PBS, 12/7/24; Reuters, 12/9/24).
​ Times columnist Bret Stephens (12/12/24) wrote that because Thompson came from small-town beginnings, whereas Mangione was from a privileged background, it was in fact the slain CEO who was the real “working-class hero.” This shows that Stephens doesn’t understand class as a relationship of power, where people like Thompson have economic power, regardless of their cultural background.​ https://fair.org/home/nyt-panics-over-outrage-at-insurance-companies/

​ The game plan running up to 2030. Eva Vlaardingerbroek:
​ “The farmers need to give up their farms before 2030, specifically that year. Yeah, so that’s not a coincidence. That year doesn’t come out of nowhere. So that year is basically the deadline that our global elites have given our country and will probably give you to abide by these new regulations. And that agenda is called the 2030 agenda.” “And now I have a slide. showing you what that entails. So the 2030 agenda is a United Nations agenda. So there we go, everybody is part of the United Nations, right, the entire world. And this agenda consists of 17, what they call sustainable development goals. And when you take a look at them right there, you’re like, well, what’s wrong with that?” “They all seem very noble, no poverty, no hunger. Who could be against that? However, if we take a closer look at how they actually want to accomplish all of this, anybody with two functioning brain cells realizes that this cannot happen unless there is an active and maybe even forceful redistribution of goods, foods, property, and our rights, which basically comes down to the obliteration of all of our basic liberties and our rights.”​ https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1869034872318185888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1869034872318185888%7Ctwgr%5Eb56ce7090c2357bcaee5335a938de8c4f3e5f3d6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theautomaticearth.com%2F2024%2F12%2Fdebt-rattle-december-18-2024%2F
