Congratulations, Great Britain!

From SLL, “You Say You Want a Devolution?” 4/29/16:
The most important election this year is the British referendum June 23 on EU membership. The EU has followed the US’s disastrous policies in the Middle East and Northern Africa and has been unable to deal with the refugee and terrorist blowback from those policies. It has no strategy for resolving the issues stemming from the debt of its de facto bankrupt members, other than have the ECB buy it. Growth has been smothered by taxes, regulations, cronyism, and monetary idiocy. European youth have the “opportunity” to pay some of the world’s highest tax rates to fund the world’s most generous welfare state benefits. Those looking for other opportunities—private sector jobs, leaving home, starting families, building wealth—must look elsewhere.
While the world roils in Brexit pandemonium my day has consisted of:
Riding my bike on the boardwalk to the rocks
Taking a leisurely stroll among the obese tattooed masses with Avalon
And now I’ll be working on my Irish tan at the beach
I’ll get a nice healthy dinner at Mack’s
Oh, boy! The Brexit (stupid name) passed and the world is imploding. Duck and Cover!
A few weeks ago Admin published a piece by Micheal Snyder about Millennials not getting married. The results are in and my generation either refuses to grow up or don’t have the tools to be mature adults in their 20’s and 30’s.
I wrote a tidbit of knowledge to pass on to my age group considering our love lives are stereotyped as hook ups, casual flings, and friends with benefits.
But the lack of self-worth and epiphany of being a placeholder in life can be a good truth bomb to other areas in life.

I am baffled by the logic of girls with low self-esteem who think being the “female best friend” is a special prized position in a man’s life.
No, honey. You’re a placeholder, a filler, a distraction; you’re working a temp position hoping one day you’ll be hired full time to prove you’re not replaceable.
In the meantime, you’re a confidence builder and an ego boost on tap. You’re job is to prove that he’s not a mess. You’re only in his life to reassure him that he’s not a bad guy and to distract him from gaining any self-awareness.

Stripped of its excesses, Donald Trump’s Wednesday speech contains all the ingredients of a campaign that can defeat Hillary Clinton this fall.
Indeed, after the speech ended Clinton was suddenly defending the Clinton Foundation against the charge that it is a front for a racket for her family’s enrichment.
The specific charges in Trump’s indictment of Clinton: She is mendacious, corrupt, incompetent and a hypocrite.
“Hillary Clinton … is a world-class liar,” said Trump. She faked a story about being under fire at a Bosnia airport, the kind of claim for which TV anchors get fired. She has lied repeatedly about her email server.
She lied to the families of victims of the Benghazi massacre by implying the atrocity was a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Islamic video, not the premeditated act of Islamist terror she knew it to be.
Drop “world-class” and Trump’s case is open and shut.
His second charge: “Hillary has perfected the politics of personal profit and theft” and “may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency.”
I got goosebumps this morning when I heard the news that the people of Great Britain spit in the face of the EU. To quote Ron Paul “Freedom is popular”! I’m sure they’ll collapse now, lol.
The questions are..How big a deal is this really?
Does voting matter after all?
And will the U.S. experience the same euphoria with a Trump, or Libertarian victory in November?
Yup LLPOH, 3 questions and I started a question with and. Happy Friday all!!!
“Still another danger is represented by those who, in their insatiable greed for money and the power which money gives, do not hesitate surreptitiously to evade the laws designed to safeguard the public from monopolistic extortion. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”

I took a long walk on the boardwalk with my wife and mother last night, after a long day of packing, doctor appointments, travel, unpacking, food shopping and buying enough liquor to get me through the next week. I was confident the oligarchs had the Brexit vote rigged in their favor. I went to bed exhausted at 10:00.
I wake up this morning to global pandemonium. I just wanted to ride my bike on the boardwalk in peace, but Noooo. First it was raining, so I have to wait for the showers to end. Then I flip on the radio and hear about stock markets around the world crashing because the British people grew some balls and told their keepers to fuck off.
My first thought upon hearing the news was “Fourth Turning”. It’s all about the mood of the people in these countries. The establishment is constantly baffled during Fourth Turnings because they think their old methods of propaganda, fear and control will continue to work. They don’t realize the cyclical nature of history and how the current generational configuration will lead to earth shattering change and a complete destruction of the existing social order. Brexit is just another brick in the wall.
I also find it interesting that over the last month or so some of the most renowned investing billionaires in the world have announced their bearishness and had placed large bets on such an outcome. George Soros is the perfect example. He switched his position to shorting the market recently. Then he constantly blathered in the press about what a disaster Brexit would be for global markets. Then the captured legacy media convinced the world Brexit would never happen. When it “shockingly” happened last night, stock markets around the world crashed. Soros and his billionaire cronies made hundreds of millions in profits. Meanwhile, the poor schmuck with his 401k gets clobbered again.
Since I was 100% wrong in my prediction regarding Brexit, you can take my following observations with a grain of salt. But this is what I see:
Fourth Turnings never peter out. They intensify to a crescendo of turmoil, chaos, violence, war, and bloodshed. This Fourth Turning intensification just got turned up dramatically. It will eventually be turned up to 11.

The moon over Miami was bright and full as we drove over the JFK causeway. It’s reflection made Biscayne Bay look like a dancing sea of lights. With the backdrop of downtown Miami’s skyscrapers jutting up from the ocean like giant colorful Lego creations, the scene made me want to soar like an eagle over the entire bay just to take in all the beauty. But our marina destination held a greater calling.
My nephew and I had awoken at 3:30 am, stuffed down a quick breakfast and swallowed a few ginger caps to ward off any future motion sickness. All the essentials were packed the night before in boyish anticipation of the next day – coolers, lunch, water, and some fishing gear for any interesting roadside culverts that we might happen across. The ride down 95 from Pompano to Miami was fairly deserted, only having to dodge a few big scary trucks and old pickups packed with illegal migrants weaving from lane to lane at 90 mph. The saying “no license, no limit” drifts through my tired consciousness.
Many of you (including me) are headed for the FEMA Camps when TSHTF. You use nasty words and have bad ideas about those elected to govern us. “So what! We still have freedom of speech!“, you say. Oh, really?
The man in the video was just arrested by the FBI. No reason for his arrest has been given. None. However, we do know that he is extremely distrustful of the government. He has tweeted such horrible words as this —–“This country will NOT be fixed by down loading an app. or playing with your keyboards. GET INVOLVED! Be one who actually did something! CALLING PATRIOTS TO UNITE.” Clearly, this man is demented, and his arrest is warranted.
Here is a 90 sec video of Bill talking about making a fallout shelter in the mountains. Who needs a stinkin shelter when our government is here to protect us with thousands of nukes? He’s a batshit crazy dude, fer sure.

Yesterday morning, around 9AM, I watered the two hanging baskets by the front door. I didn’t lock the door after I was finished … cuz we live in a nice neighborhood with no crime.
Sometime around noon Ms. Freud checks her voice mail. Somehow she missed a call from earlier in the morning. It was Bank Of America, and they want her to come into the nearest branch office, ASAP. She leaves just before 1PM.
