Powell Spills the Beans
The death cross on the dollar’s trade-weighted index (shown above) anticipated Powell’s speech, falling 1.6% in the last week. When it breaks the 100 level, a target of 90 is in play. But after its recent sharp falls, a countertrend rally is likely first, as short-term traders short of the dollar take profits. And they […]
Everyone Hates Fascism Except the Government
One of the few interesting things about America’s highly choreographed political conventions is the gathering of people outside these events. Supporters and protesters show up to yell at the top of their lungs for days. What kinds of taunts do these opposing groups scream at each other? Remarkably, they accuse each other of similar transgressions. Probably the most common […]
The Problem Isn’t the US Having the Wrong President, the Problem Is the US Empire’s Existence
The reason I find myself fighting with both Harris supporters and Trump supporters is because they see the other party as the problem while I see the US empire itself as the problem. They seek to make things better by ensuring that the empire is under the correct management, while I seek the end of […]
Mankind’s Ultimate Merger
Humanity’s millennia-long march toward the Singularity has become a sprint. — Ray Kurzweil, The Singularity is Nearer: When We Merge with AI If Ray Kurzweil is correct, and he usually is, by 2045 human life will not exist as we know it. As he writes in his newly released book, Eventually nanotechnology will enable [us […]
End of Hoaxes
“Kamala, you are supposed to drink AFTER the speech.” — Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA “The entire Democrat campaign will now be focused on gaslighting the country into believing Trump has been president for the last 4 years and Kamala has been an innocent bystander the whole time. They can’t run on her record, so […]
The Democratic Party Exists To Make Sure Good People Do Nothing
The reason I criticize the Democrats so much can be explained in the aphorism “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” The Democratic Party exists to ensure that good people will do nothing. Gaza is such a perfect example of this. When Instagram progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez promulgates […]
If Harris Wins, It’s Nuclear Winter for the Family
During the Trump-Biden debate the question of a child-care tax credit was raised. Biden mumbled the materialist priority of getting Mom back into the economy as quickly as possible. Trump missed the opportunity to reply that an ideal economy would be one where, should the spouses so decide, one parent can be at home until the […]
The Ever Widening War
The Kremlin has an amazing inability to confront reality. Peter Koenig explains that NATO has now invaded Russia by entering Kursk, and the Kremlin still pretends it is involved in a limited border conflict with Ukraine in Donbas. Indeed, the Kremlin is so far removed from reality that Russia’s leaders were incapable of imagining a […]
Israel Will Bleed America Dry and Discard It Like an Old Shoe
There are some simple truths surrounding all the nonsense being spewed by Israel’s agents and its cheerleaders in the United States, Canada, Europe as well as elsewhere in the Anglophone world. First of all, Israel is no democracy and never has been one since its foundation over seventy-five years ago. It used massacres of entire […]
