Grandpa, Tell Me about the War

Guest Post by Freed Radical

“Grandpa, tell me about the war. My friend said that ten dillon people died in it.”

“No, that’s not right. Dillon was a Marshall on TV. It’s billion, with a ‘B’. And it wasn’t ten billion, only seven and a half.”

“Ok, but I hate fractions! What happened? Why did all those people die?”

“Well it started a hundred years before the war, when the communists started corrupting our country through colleges, and radio, and books, and churches.”

“What’s a commun…”

“Don’t worry about that. They want to run other peoples’ lives. Not good. Anyway, I could talk for days about what caused the war, but I’ll skip ahead to the stuff that you’ll be interested in.”

“Crazy Amount Of Requests:” Private Jet Demand Soars As Elites Flee Asia Amid Pandemic

Via ZeroHedge

The outbreak of Covid-19 is negatively impacting business aviation networks across South East Asia and the world. However, there’s a new emerging trend that says otherwise. Elites are dodging commercial flights to avoid large crowds. They have opted for private jets, reported the Financial Times, citing data from WingX, a firm that provides market data relating to business aviation flight activity.

While top airline carriers in Asia warn of a significant drop in year-on-year performance in the first half of 2020 amid the virus outbreak in China, South Korea, and Japan, the number of private jet flights between Hong Kong to Australia and North America soared in January by 214% compared with a year ago.

Why the elites hate Trump

Guest Post by Bill Bonner

POITOU, FRANCE – What a rollicking good time we’ve had these past few days.

The G7… the North Korean summit… Canada’s “backstabber” chief… trade wars… U.S. midterm elections…

Did any generation before us enjoy so much cheap entertainment?

Place in Hell

The highlight was probably Peter Navarro’s comment, referring to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, that “there’s a special place in Hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad-faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump…”

Thoughts On Elites

Guest Post by The Zman

A famous line from the movie The Usual Suspects is “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” Even after all these years, it turns up in comment sections and social media. It is a good line to have in mind when thinking about who is actually ruling over us. In America, our elites have spent a very long time convincing us that there are no elites. The fact is though, every society has an elite and it is usually a stable, semi-permanent one. The people in charge tend to stay in charge.

CHILD TRAFFICKING | THE RED-PILLING OF MAINSTREAM AMERICA BEGINS

The anons have been talking this up and creating relevant memes since PizzaGate, well before Q arrived on scene. Things ramped up when Q came along and there has been steady chatter and research going on. From what I’ve read this affects every city and nearly every single town in America.

Places exist where girls and women are held captive specifically to be used as breeders to supply the market with the youngest of victims. Sadly these practices are not limited to the USA. Europe and the Middle East are said to be worse than the USA but I suspect that can only be judged in volume, not depravity.

Child trafficking is the part of Trump’s Swamp draining that I think will break America’s heart and it will only be prelude to the Satanic ritualistic torture, abuse and sacrifice that goes on as well. I cannot even imagine what it will be like for families of children that have simply vanished from the Earth with no trace once these everyday horrors are revealed. 

I can only hope that once the political, economic and inhumane practices of our overlords are revealed that the human race will never forget and never trust our leaders so freely again. Our leaders need to be held to a much higher account from here on out. Failure to do so will only allow it to happen again.

Counterfeit Elitism

Guest Post by Victor Davis Hanson

Those damn dairy farmers. Why do they insist on trying to govern? Or, put another way:

Why are Republicans trusting Devin Nunes to be their oracle of truth!? A former dairy farmer who House intel staffers refer to as Secret Agent Man because he has no idea what’s going on.

Thus spoke MSNBC panelist, Yale graduate, former Republican “strategist,” and Bush administration speechwriter Elise Jordan.

Jordan likely knows little about San Joaquin Valley family dairy farmers and little notion of the sort of skills, savvy, and work ethic necessary to survive in an increasingly corporate-dominated industry. Whereas dairy farmer Nunes has excelled in politics, it would be hard to imagine Jordan running a family dairy farm, at least given the evidence of her televised skill sets and sobriety.

Stabbing With Their Steely Knives, They Just Can’t Kill the Beast

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor…

– Ezekiel 28: 15-17

In horror stories originating from the times of the first songs there have always been common enemies.  Creatures of sinister intelligence, blind violence, disingenuity, clever crafters of schemes, or often containing the capacity for all of these; lurking in the dark, or hidden in plain sight, but always waiting and watching.  Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs suffered through the antics of wily wolves. Rapunzel and Hansel and Gretel agonized before the wicked wills of warted witches; and with Jack of Beanstalk fame it was jeering giants who longed to grind his bones for bread, alive or dead.  Star Wars had Darth Vader and the Lords of the Sith, whereas it was the evil eye of Sauron that ruled over J.R.R Tolkien’s shadowy land of Mordor.  And for most of the world’s religions today it remains Lucifer, the morning star, who fell from heaven by the weight of a prideful heart and now reigns as the Prince and Power of the Air; tempting, taunting, and tantalizing, all of mankind.

The Elites Are Privately Warning About A Crash

Authored by James Rickards via The Daily Reckoning,

Many everyday citizens assume powerful global financial elites operate behind closed doors in secret conclaves, like the scene of a Spectre board meeting in the recent James Bond film.

Actually, the opposite is true. Most of what the power elite does is hidden in plain sight in speeches, seminars, webcasts and technical papers. These are readily available from institutional websites and media channels.

It’s true that private meetings occur on the sidelines of Davos, the IMF annual meeting and G-20 summits of the kind just concluded. But the results of even those secret meetings are typically announced or leaked or can be reasonably inferred based on subsequent policy coordination.

What the elites rely on is not secrecy but lack of proficiency by the media.

Trump Is Exactly Where The Elites Want Him

Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,

Cognitive dissonance is a powerful drug. It makes otherwise-very-intelligent people goofy and incoherent in their thinking and blinds them to certain realities that they should normally see right in front of their noses. I witness it all the time in the field of economics — a key piece of logic, a key fact that certain people absolutely refuse to take into account simply because they have a singular idea of how the world works and they cannot allow that idea to ever come into question. They would rather leap into a mental gymnastics routine worthy of an Olympic gold medal than examine the truth. And if you confront them on it, they’ll accuse YOU of being the one in denial.

Aborting the Trump Revolution

Guest Post by Patrick J. Buchanan

Aborting the Trump Revolution

In taking that $915 million loss in 1995, and carrying it forward to shelter future income, Donald Trump did nothing wrong. By both his family and his business, he did everything right.

In a famous 1947 dissent, Judge Learned Hand wrote:

“[T]here is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. … Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.”

This writer’s father spent his career as a tax accountant who studied tax codes and utilized every permissible deduction to keep his clients’ tax bills as low as legally possible.

That was his business, as it is the business of every accountant, including those who prepare the returns of the politicians and journalists piling on Trump as some sort of scofflaw tax cheat who has evaded his moral obligations to the state.

One needs a machete to cut through this hypocrisy.

Trapped in a privileged bubble, markets can’t feel winds of political change

 

Elites need to figure out how to understand the demands of those left behind

LONDON (MarketWatch) — The pound is sailing up past $1.60. The FTSE-100 index is breezing past 7,000. The euro is strengthening, and business confidence is gaining ground across the continent.

A raft of M&A deals, and a few big initial public offerings are unveiled as the investment bankers push forward with deals that had been kept on hold until the uncertainty resolved itself. And British Prime Minister David Cameron is pictured disappearing off to the Mediterranean to enjoy a well-earned break.

Many investors must be hoping that somehow they can wake up from a very bad dream and get on with their lives in a world where the U.K. had decided to stay in the European Union.

That, as we now know, is not what happened. Instead, while the FTSE UKX, -1.52%   has been surprisingly buoyant, sterling GBPUSD, -0.9675%  has been plunging, and there is already plenty of evidence of deals being pulled, and a damaging hit to business confidence.

The Elites Have Lost The Right To Rule

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

In the end, the elites will be overthrown and a power vacuum will form.  The transition period will be extremely difficult as the elites will fight their demise to the end.  For you see, they care nothing for you they care about their power and control.  Nevertheless, rulers have always only ruled by the will (or apathy) of the people and when the people become overly taxed and abused they always rebel.  The main thing to think about is what kind of society do we want to rebuild from the ashes.  I am of the view that it must be a return to the Constitution and an elimination of central banking power and secrecy.  Let’s not fall for a demagogue or be pushed into a war when things are at their worst.

 

– From my 2010 post: The Elites Have Lost The Right to Rule

While the Trump and Brexit movements are indisputably fascinating merely as public indictments against the greedy and criminal status quo, they are equally meaningful from another perspective.

Signs That ‘The Elites’ Are Feverishly Preparing For Something Big

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,

What in the world are the elite up to?  In recent days, we have learned that the New York Fed is moving a lot of operations to Chicago because of concerns about what a “natural disaster” could do, the federal government is buying 62 million rounds of ammunition commonly used in AR-15 semi-automatic rifles for “training” purposes, and NORAD is moving back into Cheyenne Mountain because it is “EMP-hardened”.  In addition, government authorities have scheduled a whole host of unusual “training exercises” all over the nation.  So are the elite doing all of this in order to prepare for something really BIG, or should we just chalk up all of this strange activity to rampant government paranoia?

First, let’s talk about what the New York Fed has been doing.  What kind of natural disaster would be bad enough to completely shut down the operations of the New York Federal Reserve Bank?  It would have to be something very unusual, and apparently the New York Fed is very concerned that such an event could happen.  According to Reuters, the New York Fed has been transferring personnel to Chicago and building up its satellite office there just in case a “natural disaster” makes it impossible for normal operations to continue in New York…

The New York branch of the U.S. Federal Reserve, wary that a natural disaster or other eventuality could shut down its market operations as it approaches an interest rate hike, has added staff and bulked up its satellite office in Chicago.

 

Some market technicians have transferred from New York and others were hired at the office housed in the Chicago Fed, according to several people familiar with the build-out that began about two years ago, after Hurricane Sandy struck Manhattan.

 

Officials believe the Chicago staffers can now handle all of the market operations that are done daily out of the New York Fed, which is the U.S. central bank’s main conduit to Wall Street.

This seems very odd.

In all of U.S. history, there has never been a natural disaster in New York City that would have been bad enough to totally shut down the operations of the New York Fed for an extended period of time.
