  • Monetary theory

    We have Keynesian theory,,, that has obvious flaws.
    We have MMT that would have CBs printing nonstop, Ignored for Years, a Radical Economic Theory Is Gaining Converts - Bloomberg Business
    We also have Mercantilism,,, keep em poor so that they keep producing, Mercantilism: Six centuries of vilifying the poor
    The NWO and the CBs are pushing for socialism. Straight capitalism has been given a bad name by crony capitalism. The corporatocracy is pushing for a technocracy of fascism.
    Then, there is thermoeconomics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoeconomics
    Sadly, none of this will work. The PTB have picked socialism as the panacea for the future. This just isn't compatible with human nature . We derive much of our personal value from our employment. The industrial revolution is working it's way up the ability ladder. Many writers like Kurzweil are predicting the end of employment. At the same time, the birth rate is falling. Automation is taking over everything. Even agriculture is more automated, day by day.

    The world has lots of monetary theories but, none of them have ever dealt with birth control, automation and a demographic crash.

    • CBs, socialism and the SDR

      There are many claims that ZIRP will be around for many years. ZIRP kills almost everything!
      Armstrong, "The central bankers are simply crazy, not evil. " "Then we have the trading public. If the central bankers have gone crazy with this whole negative interest rate theory, then the public is simply out of their minds" "All they see is that lower interest rates “should” stimulate but ignore the fact that they never do. They are too stupid to grasp the fact that raising taxes cannot be offset by lower interest rates."

      In every foot race, there is a winner and a loser. In every academic decathlon, there is a winner and a loser. Socialism is the firewall between Darwinian pressures and those who come in second in the game of life. Creeping socialism has created an underclass who can't compete in the private sector. They see the writing on the wall.

      As time goes on, there will be fewer and fewer people needed in employment. The PTB want to get world socialism fired up before that time closes in on us. They need to destroy the current system to get world socialism in place. ZIRP is destroying anyone and everyone who depends on interest income. THAT is straight out of Keyne's book; The euthanasia of the rentier: Why the assault on savers must end - The Commentator

      ZIRP kills capital formation. The PTB are pushing for the Special Drawing Rights as the reserve currency of the future. From the IMF, "The SDR is an international reserve asset, created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement its member countries’ official reserves."
      The IMF has screwed the pooch as far as the U.S. dollar. The rest of the world wants nothing to do with the SDR. It will be printed as necessary by,,, the IMF.

      The R.O.W. wants to bring back gold. If you look at the giant mess made out of the U.S. dollar, you can see their point. The CBs are pushing collapse, socialism and the SDR.
      Creeping socialism for decades has saddled America with a lot of people who will never have a job niche. The PTB want these people to receive continued support, no matter their numbers.

      • The East is rejecting socialism and U.S. treasury debt

        "The Quantitative Easing (QE) monetary policy is highly destructive. It combines with another equally destructive measure in the Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP). Together they are a double barreled shotgun killing the USEconomy and its financial structure. Worse, they are killing the Global Economy and its financial structure based upon the USDollar."
        "It is indeed curious that almost no mainstream economists or analysts mention the permanence of the current destructive monetary policy. They might mention its permanence, but they do not attribute blame for the systemic breakdown on the monetary policy, which is highly destructive."
        MSM is controlled by the same jews that have always pushed socialism.

        The R.O.W. has no intention of going down in flames to facilitate socialism. They want competition. By virtue of having the reserve currency, America could just print to buy what it wanted. The R.O.W. has had enough of that. We use the power of the petro dollar to wage war everywhere. They are going to refuse to take treasury bonds to pay for their exports. They (plan) to cut off our imports.

          “Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws.” Mayer Amschel Rothschild
          Banking is very attractive to people who don't want to actually work for the money. Socialism is very attractive to people who don't want to actually work for money. The central bankers are all pushing world socialism. The CBs grew credit at 3+ times the rate that the productive economy grew. This (temporarily) created support for a lot of people who didn't do any actual work,,, bankers, beggars, and bureaucrats.
          They see the unwind coming and, world socialism is their solution. A one world digital currency would ensure that the wealth keeps flowing to them.

          Deutsches bank is crashing and the big 3 American banks are buying their toxic derivatives. This will ensure that the contagion spreads everywhere.
          Armstrong said that the banks are not evil, just crazy. Durden said that this is all intentional and moving as planned. The bankers and GOV bureaucrats want world socialism AND, they are pushing the meme.
          I’m pretty sure the derivatives meltdown will take down every paper currency on earth and major corporations asset values creating urgency, forcing the quick transition into a one world digital currency

          See, we URGENTLY need to switch over to a digital currency.

          It the Bretton Woods discussions, most of the free world favored a paper reserve currency. America had all the gold and demanded a gold backing. Times have changed and America's gold is gone. The R.O.W. is demanding gold backing and America wants a paper backing.
          We're going to have crash and chaos, alright. The CBs are doing their best to erase gold from the system. Socialism and gold just can't exist on the same planet. I suspect that the R.O.W. will successfully resist the implementation of the SDR. This will leave pox Americana isolated and broke.

            • The new religion of social justice

              Venezuela has the same population but, more oil than Saudi Arabia. Venezuela is bankrupt; The World?s Worst Central Bank | Zero Hedge
              Socialism sounds OK but, it always seems to over reach on raising the standard of living for the poor. One of it's fatal fallacies is; everyone is equal.
              Herbert Hoover could write classical Latin with his right hand at the same time that he wrote classical Greek with his left hand. Some people are FAR superior to the norm. Socialism shies away from this and ends up placing incompetent people in important positions.
              Socialism is just a distribution system with little focus on productivity. The original socialists are children. They receive everything but, don't work in return. They all want to continue the free ride. They all think that they are special. By definition, most of them are NOT special.

              College is the cauldron that whips up a dangerous brew of self-important do-nothings who all want to be respected.
              "The religion got started on the campuses, where social science careerists ginned up an elaborate doctrine to justify the self-importance of their new departments in so-called race, gender, and privilege studies — the main point of which was to create new categories of sacred victims suffering spiritual torments (“traumas”) that could never be healed. These crypto-religious “studies” led to a multiplication of demons that had to be exorcized by an equal multiplication of diversity deans and committees aimed at punishing blasphemies — such as arguing against affirmative action (“racist”), or wearing a Mexican sombrero at a tequila party (“cultural appropriation” + “racist”)

              "The religion of the social justice warriors, got a huge boost with the deaths, and subsequent canonization of the new mega-saints, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, and other black youths who were killed"

              "Possibly the worst blasphemy — which I will now state — is the idea that the new religion of social justice exists to disguise the vast disappointment over the failure of the civil rights movement to uplift — that is, raise out of poverty, illiteracy, and crime — a substantial part of the black population. In fact, much of the official policy of the civil rights era only made matters worse, especially the well-known failures of the welfare system with all its disincentives to economic striving."
              Was Chicago The First Skirmish In An Inevitable Civil War? | Zero Hedge

              Venezuela isn't doing anything new. "A little over a month after announcing that the Zimbabwean dollar - which, you’re reminded, was phased out in 2009 after inflation rose modestly to 500 billion percent - would be demonetized and exchanged at a generous rate of $5 for every 175 quadrillion"
              "15 Years After Land-Grabs, Mugabe Invites White Farmers Back To Zimbabwe"
              White privilege is very much connected to white competency.

              The bankers in America financed the election of a Marxist president in their push to American and world socialism. They are REALLY down on Trump because he has no interest in socialism. He wants people to actually work for their survival. SO MANY people are talking about assassination because so many people get a free ride.
              Armstrong predicts a crash in public debt. There will be a lot of self-important people who will find that the public food trough is empty.

                • Figuring it out as I go

                  I don't post for profit or gain. I have no ads. The count on this thread goes up steadily every week. The main reason that I post is to give some warning to people who don't have the time to read and interpret the large body of financial news. The secondary reason is; when I write stuff out, it gives me a clearer picture than what I get from just a mental picture. I veer into social systems because they affect financial systems so much.
                  My profile page has over 4,000 visits even though it has almost no information. I'm probably on a few government lists. I explained how the Terrawatt device works and they took down their site. I've written more controversial threads before but, I haven't been picked up for "re-education" yet.

                  If I read an article from a gold-bug site, I have to take their "slant" into consideration. If I read something from yahoo, I have to have a full block of salt handy. GOV sites like the BLS are discredited by other GOV sites. There is so much dis-information in the battle between fascism and socialism that it is very difficult to get an accurate picture.
                  I post lots of links so that everybody can read the source and make an informed decision as to accuracy.

                    The gross income in the West is falling fast. Corporations have 2 sets of books. One set, they show to investors. The GAAP set that they present to GOV auditors (under pain of prison) generally show 30--40% less earnings. BUT, when their earnings statements come out, there is hell to pay.
                    Many investors have deserted the stock market. The FED, PPT, ESF, etc have pumped tons of money to companies to keep stock prices elevated. The companies buy-back their own shares to hold up perceived valuations.

                    Here is a fascinating article on the rise of energy consumption and, the concurrent rise in entropy. Gail Tverberg Blog | Our economic growth system is reaching limits in a strange way | Talkmarkets
                    In his book, The Collapse of Complex Societies", John Tainter writes that a society collapses when it can no longer support it's exponentially growing energy needs. He refers to ALL types of energy.

                    One component of intelligence is ;planning for a secure future. Many decades ago, in England, a couple weren't allowed to get married unless they had a place to live. This tended to reduce procreation for unmotivated people. In animal husbandry, the weak are weeded out. By supporting people who are lacking in motivation and abilities, the gene pool is weakened. Thoughtful, intelligent people are more likely to limit family size than people who procreate recklessly. Over time, there is an increase in the % of unmotivated people.... pissing in the gene pool.
                    What is the end result when a big part of the population is unmotivated and uneducated? What happens when too many people vote for a living instead of actually working for a living?
                    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzspsovNvII

                    Socialism always breaks the bank because it promotes an indolent, non-productive lifestyle. At the same time that it tries to raise the standard of living for everybody, it demotivates the producers. Rising consumption meets falling productivity.

                    • GEAB, downer from the IMF

                      As many of you can well imagine, it gets more difficult every day to interpret and predict financial movements. It isn't just me. I found an excellent summation from a large, well-informed European group.

                      "Considering the barrage of change indicators, our GEAB team currently feels like they don’t know where to start in order to provide a coherent and complete picture of the crisis. Yet, this feeling is probably nothing compared to what our leaders and their advisers experience. A sense of loss of control of the flow of events probably characterizing the Western leadership in 2016 is what makes the rest of the year quite difficult to predict. "

                      • The FED will get stiffed

                        As I've mentioned before, the bankers don't have any armies. They often pair up with GOV to create lots of wars and arms sales but, they don't have their own armies. What happens if their interests diverge? What happens if GOV goes broke and the banks have money?
                        The U.S. treasury sells bonds to the FED and the FED creates money for the GOV. In 1913, the FED got the power to print the money. During the world wars, the FED printed tons of money. GOV (me and you) eventually paid off this debt. Several parties have publicly announced that the debt is FAR too high to ever be paid back.
                        The treasury got the cash and the FED is left holding bonds that we can't pay back. The FED would like to inflate the snot out of the whole economy so they could at least be paid back in inflated dollars.
                        The FED buys bonds but, doesn't get a lot out of the deal. ONLY when they resell the bonds do they gain something. The cash has been spent and the bond is worthless if it can't be re-sold. QE becomes debt cancellation.

                          The FED gave us ZIRP. The banks wrote $ trillions in interest rate swaps that locked in ZIRP. The FED couldn't escape ZIRP unless it was willing to blow all the derivatives. ZIRP wiped out everyone who depended on income from interest. Millions depend on interest income. With that gone, they quit spending. That crashed earnings for equities. So, interest-income crashed. Stock earnings crashed. Hedge funds depend on these earnings.

                              Global wage arbitrage wiped out our jobs. We no longer have wages. GOV is so desperate that they want to send us free money to keep consumption going. Also, they would like to avoid revolution. GOV created an enormous dependent class. Now, they can't make good on their promises.

                              • Paying for immigrants and pensions

                                The U.S.S.R, showed us pretty clearly, that socialism doesn't work. Putin warned obummer not to try it.
                                After birth control was introduced, the birth rate fell. The PTB knew that something would have to be done to keep the population rising. Japan didn't learn this lesson. It is now painfully obvious that you can't grow an economy with a shrinking population. Our southern border was thrown open to keep population growth going.
                                "The number of immigrants rose by 1.7 million since the same time last year. Immigrants currently comprise 13.3 percent of the nation's total population, reaching the highest level in the nation in 105 years. " It's actually higher.
                                BUT, with birth control, Mexico's fertility rate went from 6.2 to 2.6. Our next people donors are the arab countries. They still have a high birth rate because women have no say in the matter. The latinos had / have a good work ethic and generally good Christian values. The dregs from the arabic countries have neither of these two qualities. They have an illiteracy rate of 20%. The PTB are adamant that America must have population growth no matter what kind of trash comes in.
                                The mothers never teach their little boys to respect girls so, women are just chattel with no say. This cultural clash is a horrifying surprise to the Scandinavian countries. It is impossible to fathom how bringing in millions of illiterates is going to help the economy.
                                The "driver" of an increase in our living standards is SCIENCE, NOT brute consumption. We do attract a LOT of talent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK0Y9j_CGgM

                                Socialism allows people to reproduce who would not otherwise be able to. BUT, GOV has made a lot of promises that it can no longer pay for. Our negative net worth grows by $ 5 trillion a year. GOV paid for a lot of babies. They will need lifelong support. Our unfunded liabilities are reckoned at $ 212 trillion. Money creation is going up,,, wealth creation is going down.
                                If GOV prints to try to satisfy all of it's promises, it risks hyper-inflation. The private sector also made too many pension promises. When manufacturing left, it took the pot of money that was intended to fund pensions. Credit is a tool for reaching into future earnings. We never thought about losing our jobs.
