Germany Falls Completely to Davos
If anyone was under any illusions that Germany wasn’t completely under the control of the Davos Crowd then I think this article from Politico should burn that perception into your retinas. The article details what’s in the new German government’s agreement between the parties. It lays out the goals of the coalition as well as the roadmap for its policy priorities. In short, this is literally a… → Read More
Being Thankful Is the Path to Victory Over Davos
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. It is the one day where we celebrate putting aside our differences and doing the most basic thing humans can do together, share a meal. It is also the one holiday that does nothing to aggrandize The State in all its rotten guises. For that alone it would be my personal favorite. Ultimately this is just a story about two very different people… → Read More
Have We Finally Reached Peak Davos?
If you look around the headlines from the past week or so, you will see a startling similarity among them. Coming in from all over the world are mandates from one country’s government after another instituting medical apartheid over the COVID-9/11 jab. Where these restrictions are the most draconian are within the walls of the European Union, that region where The Davos Crowd’s influence is… → Read More
Dumb Ideas Never Die
If you think the wealth tax is already in the rearview mirror, keep your eyes on the road. The beta test is over, but that was just the nose in the tent phase. Democrats knowledge of wealth is like the old saying about pornography, they know it when they see it (or in Hunter Biden’s case, when they film it). But unlike porn, they don’t know where it comes from. Also unlike porn, they know wealth… → Read More
The Bitcoin ETF – Dare I Say, “It’s a Trap”?
25So Tuesday October 19th, 2021 was supposed to be the day that changed everything for bitcoin. And it may, just not in ways anyone bullish on crypto should be comfortable with. Finally the SEC approved a Bitcoin ETF, the ProShares Bitcoin Futures ETF (BITO) began trading this week to great fanfare in the cryptocurrency community. There was much rejoicing as Bitcoin hit a new all-time high which… → Read More
European Energy Crisis — And Is That Gas You Think You’re Burning?
The European Gas Crisis keeps hitting new high after new high as gas prices around the world go ballistic. While this isn’t just a European problem, if you read the MSM, that’s all they seem to care about. You know, it snows in Japan as well folks, and China. Prices keep skyrocketing in Europe because there is no shortage of idiocy at the top of the European power structure. The confluence of… → Read More
Energy Subsidies, Bitcoin, and the Socialist Takeover That Isn’t
“When you subsidize something, you get more of it. RON PAUL I have a friend who once described Bitcoin to me as an organism which feeds on electricity subsidies. Bitcoin searches out the lowest cost of electricity available and consumes as much of it as it can to produce profit for the miners, since electricity costs are their biggest costs. This is partly why China, for years, attracted the… → Read More
The Fed Says, “Let Me Squeeze Your Dollars…5 Basis Points at a Time”
I still maintain no one will mark June 16th, 2021 as the day the world changed. Watching the dollar surge into this weekend thanks to a breakdown in the euro only validates that conclusion in my mind. Remember, on June 16th Presidents Biden and Putin met for a summit which altered the course of geopolitics forever, agreeing to disagree about Nordstream 2 and reversing the worst of U.S./Russian… → Read More
Now is the Time To Strike at the Root of Confidence
Government is the ultimate confidence game. It’s power rests on the idea that enforcing issued edicts through public pressure and policing is unchallengeable. That power, however, is anything but that. Policing is a bluff, and a dangerous one at that. That bluff is maintained through rational risk assessment we all do when deciding whether to challenge the policeman’s demands. This tension lies… → Read More
We Have Entered the Eye of the Davos Storm
Congress recessed for the summer passing neither the infrastructure nor spending bills that were the focus of all of Washington’s attention for weeks thanks to Krysten Sinema from Arizona. She personally torpedoed the Biden Administration’s signature piece of legislation that took months to wrangle to that point and then gave the whole thing a big John McCain-like thumbs down. The debt ceiling… → Read More
Nordstream 2’s Hard Lesson in Reality for Everyone
For more than six years everyone who is anyone in a politically sensitive position in Europe and the U.S. has wrung their hands over the Nordstream 2 pipeline. From the moment it was announced the howls of pain could be heard all around the world. Those screams were the screams of people who had grown fat and rich on the status quo realizing their gravy train was over. Now the project is all but… → Read More
Today Hungary, Tomorrow Poland — Will German Pressure Cave Eastern Europe?
Since it became clear that Joe Biden was going to be certified as the President-elect it’s been clear that Poland would become a major story. Poland is one of the bad boys of the European Union and with the return of The Davos Crowd’s favorite American, Barack Obama, to the White House all of Poland’s problems within the EU would inensify. With Nordstream 2 nearly complete, time is rapidly… → Read More
Less Electoral College? No, More Electoral College
For the past 20 years we have been assaulted by the Marxist left in the U.S. about how terrible the electoral college is. In their quest for a purely egalitarian society — you know one without enforceable rules, culture, sexes and differences of any kind — the electoral college represents the ultimate thwarting of their intentions to rule through mobocracy. It’s been a long and winding road… → Read More
Hungary and Poland Create the Unbridgeable Gap of the Great Reset
There comes a point where negotiation becomes surrender. Those actively undermining you will always demand more than their right. Those behind the Great Reset have been creating no-win situations for voters for decades to this exact end. Over the summer Hungary’s Viktor Orban and Poland’s Mariusz Moraweicki led the opposition to the EU’s budget and COVID-19 relief package standing firm that… → Read More
US Color Revolution: The Not So Phantom Menace
> “There is no civility, there is only politics… The Bureaucrats are in charge now…” — Senator Palpatine The Black Revolution in the U.S. is proceeding according to script. We are into the 3rd act of it. Act I was the Coronapocalypse setting the stage for vastly expanded government powers and the systemic undermining of the sitting President. Underneath the headlines the forces arrayed… → Read More
Trump Rallies or Struggle Sessions – A Lesson for Libertarians
This election season hasn’t been about Trump versus Biden. It hasn’t been about capitalism versus socialism. It’s not even about liberty versus authority. As I said in my last article this election is about a simple choice, facing a chaotic future with courage or fear. Regardless of who wins, my many libertarian friends and colleagues are correct that the ship of state cannot and will not be… → Read More
The More the EU Tightens Its Grip, the More Countries Slip Through Its Fingers
It finally looks like the four-and-a-half-year saga of Brexit is coming to an ignominious end. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called the final bluff of the incompetent bureaucrats in Brussels, walking away from trade talks while leaving the door open. But that door is only open if the EU is willing to crawl in on its knees and give the UK what it wants, a minimal free trade deal,… → Read More
ObamaGate’s Endless Saga — None Dare Call It Obstruction
Back during the early days of the Democratic primaries I told you that the real story behind the scenes was a three-sided civil war for control of the DNC. Not quite an equilateral triangle, the two major factions were the Clintons and the Obamas with the Soros-backed squad pushing them both farther and farther left, through the fake Progressivism of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. And with… → Read More
Do Debates Even Matter in This Election?
Last night’s debate was universally panned as many things not suitable for virgin ears. Honestly, I don’t disagree. Both camps are doing their best to put the best spin on it they can but a couple of observations I think are salient: * Biden was as good as he was ever going to be * Trump was as bad as he could possibly have been * Chris Wallace was there to make sure Biden stayed on script * The… → Read More
With Ginsburg’s Death Cue the Last Stand of American Marxists
For all of the bad things that have happened in 2020 don’t for a second believe that 2021 won’t be infinitely worse. It has been clear to me for months that the fight for the White House is one for the ages. While every election is ‘the most important one ever’ in the minds of the politicos who see the other side for what it is, an existential threat to their power, this election is, I feel,… → Read More
