OF COURSE BERNIE SANDERS SOLD OUT — WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED?
JULY 14, 2016 | DISINFO

*** begin quote ***

In a move that shocked faux-socialists everywhere Chairman Sanders went out on stage and officially endorsed none other than the Lizard Queen herself.

It was a sight to see, Sanders led in chains and forced to beg not only for his life but the lives of his devoted followers as Hillary watched from a chair made almost exclusively of Syrian children. “I have come here to make it as clear as possible why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president,” Sanders uttered under armed guard, “Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nomination and I congratulate her for that.” Sanders would spend the next 45 minutes slowly assuring his armed party cadres around the country that this was exactly what he wanted, that all his talk of healthcare and socialism had been “window dressing,” simply too much to ask in these “dangerous times.”

The worst was yet to come however. As Hillary’s forked tongue began sniffing the air and tasting the tears of millions Sanders brokenly said “I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States.” Democratic Socialism, a new ideology that might have left a lasting impression on the political machinery of the United States, disappeared in an instant.

The political revolution was over.

*** end quote ***

Anyone surprised?

He’s a politician that has never had a real job.

And a closet communist besides.

He was a political cover for HRC that distracted the liberal left from repudiating HRC.

Argh!

ECONOMICS: Krugman is Obama / Clinton cheerleader

Ep. 43 Krugman Says Investors Have Given Up Hope…So, What Happened to that Obama Recovery, Paul?
16 July 2016     |     Tom Woods  

This week, Krugman considers several possible explanations for why long-term interest rates are so low around the world. The one he settles on: investors have concluded that the weak economy is the new normal, so to speak, so they’re willing to accept low yields. But this explanation contradicts Krugman’s repeated insistence that the Obama recovery is stronger than ignorant right-wingers give it credit for. Which is it?

# – # – # – # – # 

If “economics” is a natural science — which I believe it is, then how can it’s “laws” be ignored without consequences.

Imagine physics if the speed of light was not a constant?

Imagine chemistry if elements’ characteristics were ignored.

Imagine math if π was published as 3.14 exactly. 

Chaos!

Economics’ supply and demand is an observed logically consistent “law” (i.e., lower your price and people can buy more; raise your price and the opposite happens).

Interest rates are a reflection of people’s time preference. Not what the Gooferment says it is.

Argh!

When the FED just “prints” money, people make terrible decisions!

MONEY: A Gold Bull Market?

Sunday, July 17, 2016

Peter Schiff: We’ve Entered a New Leg of a Gold Bull Market
By Samuel Bryan 
SchiffGold.com
July 16, 2016

*** begin quote ***

We still have a tremendous price that needs to be paid for the mistakes of the past. Even if we correct those mistakes in the future, we still are going to have a day of reckoning. And that day of reckoning is going to evolve a much lower US dollar and a much higher gold price.”

*** end quote ***

I think the WORST part of fiat currency is that we have lost is the objective standard of value!

“Money is a matter of functions four, a medium, a measure, a standard, a store.” He repeated that four times like poetry. “Six Characters in Money: Portable – Durable – Divisible – Uniformity – Limited Supply – Acceptability.” — CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 110

The paper produced by the FED ——

 The Federal Reserve Bank is a misnomer. IT ain’t “federal”. It reserves nothing. And, it ain’t a “bank”. It is a private cartel of the elite banks run for their benefit and that of the entrenched politicians.

— — fails three of the four functions — a measure, a standard, a store. 

So when we hear numbers kicked around they lose all sense of reality.

I’ve griped about the three silver dimes for a gallon of gas many times on this blog before. But it still states an essential truth. Silver hasn’t really changes and the gas is actually “better” gas. So what accounts for the delta (i.e., a gallon of lesser quality gas in the Sixties versus two plus gallons of today’s better gas)?

It’s the value of the money stupid.

The dollar 1960 value has been “inflated” away by the politicians and bureaucrats who put the difference in their pockets.

In the old days, it’d just be called what it is — theft.

Can’t you see it?

RANT: The wrong questions — always the wrong questions

The Unasked Questions
By Butler Shaffer
July 16, 2016

*** begin quote ***

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers.
 – Thomas Pynchon

Human understanding is premised upon a continuing refinement in the quality of questions we bring to any subject matter. If our distant ancestors knew little more about their physical world than the proposition that “some things fall and hurt us,” their ability to safely function in the world might have been insufficient to sustain their lives. After centuries of trying to explain such occurrences by reciting such maxims as that things fall to their natural level in the world, our ancestors became better informed by Newton’s understanding of gravity and principles of motion. His views – like the more sophisticated opinions that followed from other scientists – emerged not from the recitation of other men’s answers, but from the formulation of more complex questions.

*** end quote ***

Argh!

How do we get society asking the RIGHT questions?

What is right question?

It’s the all about the proper role of Gooferment versus government!

If you’re a little L libertarian, government is “your nightwatchman”. Anything else, it’s someplace between the national “mother” and “father”.

Argh!

GUNS: The gun grabbers are aiming at conditioning children against guns

Latest Gun Control Legislation Takes Aim at Children, and Reveals a Sinister Truth
Posted at 3:05 pm on July 13, 2016 by Jenn Jacques

*** begin quote ***

The Help End Assault Rifle Tragedies (HEART) Act of 2016 as announced by Markey and Gallego claims to protect children by prohibiting anyone under the age of 16 from possessing or firing machine guns and assault weapons, specifying that the law would extend to gun shows and shooting ranges.

However, the bill clearly aims to shut down all youth shooting sports and young hunters’ ability to participate in any activity that uses guns.

*** end quote ***

Always and irresistibly chasing the goal of putting the people totally under their thumbs!

The New York Post first reported that the “Case Briefing Acknowledgement” was signed by the Clinton email agents, citing anonymous sources, but the Grassley letter is believed to be the first public acknowledgement by the FBI, and includes a sample copy of the non-disclosure agreement.

Can’t have any of those “messy details” leak out about another Clinton cover up!

ECONOMICS: $15 minimum wage

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Democratic party platform calls for $15 minimum wage in win for Sanders
Published July 09, 2016  FoxNews.com

*** begin quote ***

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ effort to shape the Democratic Party’s election platform scored a major victory Friday with the approval of an amendment calling for increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour.

*** end quote ***

Haven’t heard anything this stupid since the bit about Alabama setting the value of pi to be the “Biblical value” of 3.0!

Seriously though, how can a major political party defy the LAWS of economics?

It’s as if they think that, like King Canute, they can change the laws of the physical Universe.

The Laws of Economics are as real as any of the other laws of the physical Universe like the Law of Gravity.

Argh!

How STUPID can the average American voter be to vote for them?

Argh!

http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/pi.asp

*** begin quote ***

This wonderful bit of creative writing began circulating on the Internet in April 1998. Written by Mark Boslough as an April Fool’s parody on legislative and school board attacks on evolution in New Mexico, the author took real statements from New Mexican legislators and school board members supporting creationism and recast them into a fictional account detailing how Alabama legislators had passed a law calling for the value of pi to be set to the “Biblical value” of 3.0.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: HRC is an example of what’s wrong

Awareness is Key
By Luis P. Almeida
July 8, 2016

*** begin quote ***

The recent announcement by the FBI that Hillary Clinton did not break the law but simply showed “extreme carelessness” should serve as a shot across the bow to anyone responsible for their organization’s information security. The FBI’s recommendation does not provide much help in regards to determining where the line is drawn between criminal “gross negligence” and “extreme carelessness”. One theory is that the difference lies in foreknowledge and intent. If so, then all of us in the security space need to take a very hard look at improving and enhancing security awareness within our organizations. Our users must be informed, otherwise, we bear the responsibility for their actions.

*** end quote ***

HRC serves as TWO good exemplars:

  • First, that “security” MUST start at the TOP. I’ve been a mid-level VP in an IT organization and gotten little or no support. I could have run all the programs and awareness until “the cows come home” but the message from the top is overpowering.
     
  • Second, as a little L libertarian, HRC shows just how out of control the political empire is. One set of rules for ; another for thee.
