Bonfire of the Shorts

If you’re new to high finance, then the concept of “shorting” is bizarre and convoluted. People actually make money from stocks falling? How is this possible? Why is it legal? Does this contribute anything to society? Am I missing out? Here’s how shorting works. Let’s say you have a neighbor who is a cat lady that collects Beanie Babies. She has one prized beanie called Roary the Lion, worth $5000 (according to the intellectual darkweb, where these things are traded). Unfortunately, she’s got some bills coming due this month and she doesn’t want to be forced to sell Roary. So you offer to borrow Roary from her for 3 months in exchange for $200. ...

For far too long, the internet has been under the thumb of Google. The tech giant has infiltrated a vast majority of our daily lives with near impunity. We use Google for recipes, mainstream news, medical advice, GPS directions, email…the list goes on. This immense conglomeration of power has been largely ignored by the smartphone- satiated masses, who would gladly trade their privacy for convenience in this new digital dimension. But we must we wary of Google and the gravity of their monopolistic maneuvers. Their power is already far too great, and we know from investigative reporting that the corporation has no problem openly interfering in American democracy, thanks to the folks ...

Events are in the driver’s seat now, not personalities. Gil Scott- Heron was right way back in the day when he said, “the revolution will not be televised.” Only what he called “revolution” turns out to be collapse, led by the disintegrating news business, so that the people of this land are flying blind into a maelstrom of hardship. Everything is going south at once here, and you probably don’t know it. If you think we’re headed into a transhuman nirvana of continuous tech-assisted orgasm, social equity, and guaranteed basic income, you are going to be disappointed. Our actual destination is a neo-medieval time-out from all the techno-dazzle of recent ...

After Years of Secretly Buying Up Land, Bill Gates Becomes Biggest Private Owner of Farmland in America After Years Of Buying Land, Bill Gates Becomes Biggest Owner Of Farmland In America By Kipp Jones Published January 17, 2021 at 10:35am Bill Gates, the eccentric Microsoft co-founder who has no college degree but a lot of money — and interest in current events — is now the country’s largest private owner of farmland, and nobody seems to know why. According to The Land Report, which tracks statistics on major property ownership, Gates and his wife, Melinda, over the years have quietly purchased 242,000 acres of farmland, and an additional 27,000 acres of non-farmland, ...

We seem to be living in an era of the unexpected disaster: A virus that suddenly shuts down the US economy and ends life as we know it. A banking system that is at one minute solvent, and the next on the brink of collapse. Of course, such calamities are never totally unexpected. The banking system was flashing warning signs about a year before the worst of the 2008 financial crisis. The pandemic was ravaging China before it came to the US, even if we were told it would evaporate once the warm weather hit. Here’s another so-called unexpected disaster flashing warning signs that will have severe consequences for the American taxpayer if (or when) it arrives: A massive new housing ...
Bali: Study Shows Monkeys Identify Valuable Items to Steal and Ransom for Food

I think it’s kinda racist to report this story. Everyone who reads it is going to think of BLACK people, and that is going to lead to further irrational hatred for the color of the skin. CNN: The well known phrase cheeky monkey has some basis in fact, if a new study on the behavior of the primates is anything to go by. The paper, published in a Royal Society science journal, studied monkeys at Uluwatu Temple in Bali, Indonesia, who frequently steal items from humans — such as bags, hats, sunglasses, tablets and phones — and hold them to ransom in exchange for offerings of food. It found adult wild long-tailed macaque monkeys were intelligent enough to comprehend which ...

Biden's DHS Nominee Has Raked in Millions Working for Big Tech and Wall Street By Cameron Arcand Published January 12, 2021 at 3:12pm President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee for secretary of homeland secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, might face scrutiny from progressives for his legal background.

“Bitcoin has conducted some funny business.” Head of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde has called for global regulations on Bitcoin, labeling the cryptocurrency “reprehensible.” Lagarde made the comments during a Reuters Next conference earlier today, during which she asserted that Bitcoin was not a currency. “When you look at the most recent developments upward, and now the recent downward trend … for those who have assumed that it might turn into a currency, terribly sorry but this is an asset and it is a highly speculative asset,” she said. #Bitcoin ‘has conducted some funny business and some interesting and totally reprehensible ...

I was raised in the work-for-the-same-company-all-your-life-and-retire-with-a-gold-watch era. Today, however, we’re told we’ll have several careers over a lifetime; indeed, if you stay at the same job for more than a few years you’ll be viewed as dull and stagnant. I was ahead of the curve—for over 50 years I worked as a broadcaster, journalist, church pastor, primary and secondary school teacher, and a university professor. Perhaps only Sinatra did more, singing of being a “puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn, and a king.” Some jobs got more respect than others. Starting out in radio, a fellow disc jockey and I would tell the joke of the stricken ...

Ur-New Urbanist Andres Duany bucks some dogma and orthodoxy on the housing crisis. The following is a lightly-edited extract from a podcast conversation I had with Andres Duany, a principal founder of the New Urbanist movement. In it, Duany proposes the mobile home as an intelligent response to the affordable housing crisis—bucking the dogma and the orthodoxies of our horrified New Urbanist colleagues. The full interview can be heard here (no paywall). Kunstler: I know for a couple of years now you’ve been studying the mobile home industry, mainly as a way of figuring out how to deliver affordable dwellings to people. This has raised a lot of ire among our fellow New ...

Unfortunately, these messages have fallen into the hands of Fox News and they are damning. In 2017, these men were talking about setting up a deal with a Chinese energy company. Of course, this dynamic duo wanted to get Joe Biden into the fold as well. It would be a delicate balancing act to keep him involved because he would need to avoid face to face ...
Deadliest jobs in America statistics reveal racial disparities

More than 5,300 people died on the job in 2019. In a 12-year high, a worker died every 99 minutes, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported in its annual statement. This marked a 2% increase of 2018, but a 10.3% leap from 2015 to 2019. But it was the racial disparity contained in this increase that jumped out. While some jobs and industries were more dangerous than others, a glaring statistical change was in the racial disparities evident in a breakdown of the numbers. Among white workers the five-year rate increased 1.7%, while Hispanic and Latinx workers saw a 20% leap, Black and African American deaths jumped 28%, and Asian-American fatalities grew by 59%, as the National ...
Congress Works Overtime to Secure Completely Dumb and Pointless Coronavirus Relief Bill

The relief bill is the epitome of inconsequential. Whatever happens: The economy is going to totally collapse When it does, you won’t have any money Yes, a lot of people need a check. But all it will be is money you can spend for however long it lasts. You can’t build anything out of it. NBC News: Senior lawmakers reached a compromise over the Federal Reserve’s emergency lending powers late Saturday night, overcoming a major hurdle that prevented Congress from completing a $900 billion coronavirus relief package earlier in the week, according to multiple sources. A last-minute roadblock emerged on Friday as Democrats accused Republicans, namely Pennsylvania’s ...
Clearfield Doctrine

Clearfield Doctrine By Anna Von Reitz The Clearfield Doctrine (which Larry probably can't find, either) arises from a 1943 Supreme Court Case, Clearfield Trust Co. v. United States, 318 US 363-371. The essence of the case is that when an incorporated government uses private bank script as its currency it sinks to the level of any other incorporated entity, loses its sovereign status (if it ever had any) and becomes subject to the same laws as any other corporation. You can look up the actual case to your heart's delight, but it is also reprised in CJS, as I was kindly reminded tonight by a friend: Corpus Juris Secundum (CJS) 91 CJS United States sec. 4 ".....when the ...
