“Pulling” the Wool

So very easy in Amerika. PCR notes how few media outlets were interested in the WTC7 report. (He missed my work with TPC if that makes any difference).

To pull a building means to bring it down by controlled demolition. Later, Silverstein tried to retract his admission and claimed that he meant the decision was made to pull the firemen out of the building, but according to reports no firemen were in the building as the fires were not regarded as of any consequence.

After 17 days, the report of the civil engineering team remains unmentioned in the American media except for a local Alaska TV station and a local Alaska newspaper. The report went straight into the Memory Hole. The vast majority of the American people will never know that the information has been kept from them.

The $ilverstein…

The good news is that the vast majority is vaguely aware that a new Joker movie is coming soon! More their speed.

The Wisdom of the “Family” Houses

The Ken Fishers say all is well, better than well, while the “Family” Houses – like the cosa nostra, but richer – hoard the cash.

Rick Stone, a former partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, sees treacherous times ahead for family offices trying to deploy cash.

The head of Stone Family Office said he doubts the bond market will provide any real return over the next decade, that equity markets will suffer a substantial drop and then be flat, and that too much venture capital and private equity money will continue to chase too few opportunities.

“It’s a very hard time for family offices to allocate money,” said Stone, 60, whose initial wealth came from class-action litigation fees.

Stone has a good vantage point on the action, since he runs the bi-monthly meetings of the Palm Beach Investment Research Group, a network of 35 family offices in Palm Beach, Florida. “The areas to invest in are fewer, and there is a lot of money looking for those spaces,” he said.

That view of the markets is shared by many of the 360 global single- and multi-family offices surveyed for the 2019 UBS Global Family Office Report, which was done in conjunction with Campden Research and released Monday. A majority expect the global economy to enter a recession by 2020, with the highest percentage of gloomy respondents in emerging markets. About 42% of family offices around the world are raising cash reserves.

Can you afford to raise your reserves? Ken Fisher would say “yes,” but call you foolish for doing so. They also project.

About the NY Fed Funny Money – From TPC

“Robbery in Progress at 33 Liberty Street!”

…Said no policeman ever.

“In globalist Amerika, banks rob you!” – old Russian joke (and true).

So, early last week, interesting news broke that the New York Federal Reserve Bank was deploying a little cash in order to maintain interest rates. When one eases quantitatively, the quantities are relative. It turns out “a little” equals about (or, easily could equal about) $2,300,000,000,000 (two trillion, three-hundred billion dollars). Chump change, right? Back to the climate hoaxes and football rape telethons!

But, this is serious. On Monday, September the 16th, the NY Fed started pumping $75 Billion per day into the commercial banks. This will continue through and until October 10th. That’s $1.875 Trillion right there. As a bonus, the crooks, er, the Fed will also spring $420 Billion in REPO BUCKS!!! (like a lottery game or something)(14 days X $30 Billion per day) in an attempt to gift yet more free fake money to the constituent ownership of the Fed. If this seems to you a tad self-serving, then you’re on to something.

All of this is happening during what we are assured are the very best of economic times. And, again, it’s all taking place in a span of less than a month. !Poof! Just like that the banksters have another $2.3 Trillion to play with, waste, or hoard. Temporally – and this is really fun stuff – $2.3 Trillion was the value of the entire economy as recently as 1950. In other words, what took previous generations 174 years to accumulate, the Fed just summons up out of the Dark Crystal instantly. This is why I now refer to what passes as practical economics as “sorcery.” There’s no other label that fits.

What’s the deal with the rates? The Fed, in acts of utter desperation to forestall a depression or worse, is lower borrowing rates towards zero. Then, they’ll go negative. How far into negative territory doesn’t really matter. Interest rates are the cost, the price of borrowing money – how much the money is itself worth as a stand-alone item. Negative rates indicate a situation worse than worthlessness, of positively detrimental values. The total fulfillment (and beyond) of Gresham’s Law.

The news suggests how bad things are. If the Fed adjusts rates downwards, but then has to bribe the banks to take the cheaper money, then that means the effective rates are already even lower and falling. It’s like robbing Peter, so they can afford to rob Paul. Literally anyone else would be in jail. Ask Bernie Madoff. Excuses aplenty will be quietly provided. The dog ate my liquidity, Mrs. Wall Street! You may safely believe whichever of them you like. Just know that all of it is a sham.

The End of Education?

This insanely idiotic and evil proposal would do it.

Labour party members have voted to commit the party to integrate private schools into the state sector.

The motion calls for funds and properties held by private schools to be “redistributed democratically and fairly” to other schools.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said it would help build “a more cohesive and equal society”.

But Boris Johnson called it a “pointless attack” on education, based on a “long-buried socialist ideology”.

The vote by members signals a desire for the policy to be included in the next Labour Party general election manifesto.

Speaking at the party’s conference in Brighton, shadow education secretary Angela Rayner said “tax loopholes” that benefit private schools would be scrapped by a Labour government in its first Budget.

That includes the withdrawal of charitable status, other public subsidies and tax privileges.

That’s not just from the Labour manifesto…

I don’t think, even in a Britain without BREXIT, there’s a danger … yet. In America, many would love to try something similar. I’m surprised they haven’t gone after homeschoolers already. Now, it’s a little late. But, just remember that these lunatics and agents of the devil are always, always trying to undermine, corrupt, plunder, and destroy.

What would Tom Ironsides say? Do?

The Great Tandem Vanishing Act

The middle class is vanishing, by whatever measure one uses.

If you ask the mainstream media, they will tell you that about half the country is still middle class. In fact, a CNBC article that just came out says that “52% of American adults live in ‘middle class’ households”. Of course that is down from 61 percent in 1971, but considering everything we have been through in recent years, that still looks pretty good. But is it the truth? In the end, it all comes down to how you define “the middle class”. If I defined the middle class as anyone that makes from zero dollars to a trillion dollars a year, then 100 percent of Americans would be considered “middle class” by that definition. So we can’t just look at the final number they give us. Instead, we have to dig deeper and find out how they came up with the number in the first place.

The larger the household, the more income it takes to sustain a middle class lifestyle. And according to CNBC, the definition of a “middle class household” is extremely broad at every household size…

Household of one: $26,093 to $78,281
Household of two: $36,902 to $110,706
Household of three: $45,195 to $135,586
Household of four: $52,187 to $156,561
Household of five: $58,347 to $175,041

If you are single person and you are making just $26,000 a year, there is no way that you should be considered part of “the middle class”.

Ken Fisher would assure this is nothing but an accounting entry anomaly. Just part of our history – which is also vanishing.

If a ruling political establishment and its media organs offer lavish rewards of funding, promotion, and public acclaim to those who endorse its party-line propaganda while casting into outer darkness those who dissent, the pronouncements of the former should be viewed with considerable suspicion. Barnes popularized the phrase “court historians” to describe these disingenuous and opportunistic individuals who follow the prevailing political winds, and our present-day media outlets are certainly replete with such types….

World War II ended nearly three generations ago, and few of its adult survivors still walk the earth. From one perspective the true facts of that conflict and whether or not they actually contradict our traditional beliefs might appear rather irrelevant. Tearing down the statues of some long-dead historical figures and replacing them with the statues of others hardly seems of much practical value.

But if we gradually conclude that the story that all of us have been told during our entire lifetimes is substantially false and perhaps largely inverted, the implications for our understanding of the world are enormous.

*Poof*!!! Just gone…

Government Schools = Six-Year-Olds Fingerprinted

A charter school, the concept of which sounds like something the Kings of Old would have set up to facilitate graft, are nothing more than government “public” schools with fancy paperwork. Like the rest of the criminal operations, they abuse the children in their “care.” See another example out of Florida:

A Florida grandmother was shocked to find out her 6-year-old granddaughter had been arrested Thursday for throwing a tantrum.

Meralyn Kirkland says Kaia’s journey to the juvenile detention center by Orlando Police Officers began at Lucious and Emma Nixon Elementary charter school.

“What do you mean she was arrested, he said ‘there was an incident and she kicked somebody and she is being charged and she is on her way,’” Kirkland explained.

The disorienting chaos was too much for Kirkland to process.

“She has a medical condition that we are working on getting resolved and he says, ‘what medical condition, she has a sleep disorder, sleep apnea,’ and he says, ‘well I have sleep apnea and I don’t behave like that.”

First grader Kaia was handcuffed and carted off where Kirkland says she was fingerprinted and even had a mug shot taken.

“They told us we had to wait a few minutes because Kaia was being fingerprinted, and when she said finger printed it hit me like a ton of bricks,” Kirkland said. “No six year old child should be able to tell somebody that they had handcuffs on them and they were riding in the back of a police car and taken to a juvenile center to be fingerprinted, mug shot”

Kaia is happy to be back home.

And, from the happy safety of her home, she should be homeschooled. This little case speaks volumes about what’s wrong with this nation. At the heart of it, civilized people don’t arrest small children, who by law, cannot form the requisite intentions necessary to commit crimes. If I were the judge, I would hold the entire damned State in criminal contempt for daring to instigate this bullshit. Any and every associated government agent would be locked in jail … until. Further, regardless of injunctive powers, I would order, pursuant to the contempt action if nothing else, every school in the jurisdiction closed … until.

As-is, this case will be dismissed and forgotten about. It’s sad that we can’t do that with the “schools.”

I looked at a few pictures of the child abuse children’s crusade for climate hoaxes this morning. Here and there, one can glimpse parts of the real agenda at work. But, for the “intended” purpose of spreading the alarm, it’s all old hat. The climate nuts have been wrong every single time in the last 50 years.

  1. 1967: Dire Famine Forecast By 1975
  2. 1969: Everyone Will Disappear In a Cloud Of Blue Steam By 1989 (1969)
  3. 1970: Ice Age By 2000
  4. 1970: America Subject to Water Rationing By 1974 and Food Rationing By 1980
  5. 1971: New Ice Age Coming By 2020 or 2030
  6. 1972: New Ice Age By 2070
  7. 1974: Space Satellites Show New Ice Age Coming Fast
  8. 1974: Another Ice Age?
  9. 1974: Ozone Depletion a ‘Great Peril to Life
  10. 1976: Scientific Consensus Planet Cooling, Famines imminent
  11. 1980: Acid Rain Kills Life In Lakes
  12. 1978: No End in Sight to 30-Year Cooling Trend
  13. 1988: Regional Droughts (that never happened) in 1990s
  14. 1988: Temperatures in DC Will Hit Record Highs
  15. 1988: Maldive Islands will Be Underwater by 2018 (they’re not)
  16. 1989: Rising Sea Levels will Obliterate Nations if Nothing Done by 2000

Plus 25 more! Every one of them dead wrong. The real purpose behind the global warming hysteria has always been spreading world communism. Well, that and herding the gullible children up for nefarious purposes. Slap these shameless liars down and kick them – for the children.

Very, Very Small Liquidity Crisis

What the hell is going on in NYC? Why aren’t the police down at 33 Liberty Street making arrests? Something is very wrong.

The New York Federal Reserve Bank said Friday it will inject billions into the US financial plumbing on a daily basis for the next three weeks in an effort to prevent a spike in short-term interest rates.

The Fed will offer up to $75 billion a day in repurchase agreements — exchanging secure assets for cash for very short periods — through October 10, it said in a statement.

In addition, it will offer three 14-day “repo” operations of at least $30 billion each.

And, this started on Monday (not starting today or next Monday) – 25 days of crisis cash? Plus another ten days of REPO BUCKS!!! (Like something out of the “education” lottery, no?) Run those numbers and this adds up to a $2.3 TRILLION DOLLAR* BAILOUT of the G-D banks! Out of thin air! I ain’t buying any of the excuses – bond-buying sprees, CDS collateralization, Antonio Brown getting cut, whatever. This is financial sorcery running amuck. The Goldman Sachs says we’re in for a rough October. No kidding, guys.

*$2.3 Tn, again just *POOF* created out of nothing, is almost enough to pay off all existing student loans and all credit card balances. Remember that, Ma and Pa Debtor, when the government runs up even more debt, on your backs, for another, larger future bailout, while telling you “we all have to do our parts” to help the “Too Big To Fails.” Remember and vote or something. Hold your breath.
