The Empire Strikes Back, by Robert Gore

The Empire is striking back. Stocks can go down, Donald Trump leads the polls, and the US has been humiliated in Syria. All hands are on deck to put the world back together again, at least cosmetically. Nothing they do will stop the burgeoning debt deflation, and more central bank sugar will just make it worse, but the powers that be are trying to reassert their control over what the media calls “the optics.” The more apt term would be "myopia-tics": smoke and mirrors that temporarily obscure reality. The reality of debt deflation is that it's getting worse, which is why the Europeans and Chinese are taking action, and why the Fed is now on hold until 2016 and probably forever.

This is an excerpt. For the full article please click the above link.

    All I know is that I dont want any debt any more. I dont even want what I have already (mortgage and small car loan). I just want to pull in the horns on all expenses at this point. If you arent close to the federal reserve spigot, things are going to get worse before they get better. If the federal reserve wants ME to spend, they will have to just give me printed money directly

    the first is an old army saying speaking of human rats. the second is Forrest Gump's Mother's famous saying. Stupid is as stupid does.

    One other was southern 'kock you half in two. As in troop if you don't get with the weight control program I'll knock you half in two so hard you'll be on weight gain program. Right before adding another twenty pounds to the rucksack.

    Mamagumpitis? Sounds like a condition of not being able to see the Forest Gump for the Trees Gump (caused by eating too much from that box of chocolates?).

    For sure and they already have said that. Welcome to the world of Marxist Leninist tactics. The Cycle of Repression and we're the f'n target. Is said in the beginning the Government Party would get 95% of the votes cast either because of dumb asses who vote for them or by stealing them.

    I have to date received no one answer the bet or producing the $1.00 ante. at 100 to one odds.

    Yes. A criticism could be that your views are a bit paranoid, but I think more true than not.
    ' the Europeans and Chinese are taking action' I hope you did not mean this a complement for what thy are doing, it is the usual cheap money prescription, hard to see any good outcome or even a soft landing.
