Michael Lewis on the Trump/Bannon experience 🔗

1518346033

He finally gets it. Trump got elected because he tapped into the anger and fear Bannon sees is stewing in the electorate since the screw-job in '08. Unfortunately, Trump wasn't self-aware enough to figure that part out, it seems. To be fair, since he is himself one of the bailout queens, his blindness to this is understandable.

Social media: authoritarian thought control 🔗

UH DUUUUUH! It's that way everywhere, including the US. It's weaponized horizontal enforcement, man.

Of course, the magazine doesn't notice that part, instead crying for the poor teachers. In any case, the schools should privatize post-haste to solve their funding problems.

The feds don't want the public to know how much they're paid 🔗

Redacting their salaries left and right. Seems they sensibly fear pitchforks and torches.

Israel now saying they're attacking Iran in Syria 🔗

Pretty flimsy excuse for acts of war. Not a smart one considering the longer term either. Here's Elijah Magnier on the whole mess:

CIA paid $100k to Russia for bogus dirt on Trump 🔗

The security apparatus is always looking for blackmail material, and they don't care if that means "colluding" with foreign powers. But all the people who say we must trust the CIA when it claims Trump has colluded will totally ignore this.

“We wanted to surprise everyone and bring world peace and then we’re being escorted out by security guards, which I think is really unfair,” he added. “Doesn’t everyone want peace?”

Stockman calls this as the point of no return 🔗

1518261684

Given the rate of increase in the debt, it's not like this latest debt enabling law would have made a difference; it was a fait accompli. On the other hand, rates hitting 3% means that 100% of federal revenues are swallowed entirely by interest payments. Which means this is indeed a very real point of no return for the feds. Something's gotta give sooner than later.

Syrian-Israeli war? 🔗

1518259712

While it sounds like Israel was backing down yesterday, it sounds like they're still retaliating. I suspect different factions in the Israeli state are having something of a power struggle here.

UPDATE: There's now suspicion that the timing of the US attack last week is not coincidental. Meanwhile, the Russian fleet moves into Lebanon. A very, very dangerous game is being played -- but hey, I suspect they'll need a war to keep people's mind off the coming crash & recession.

The gold bucket thief's story 🔗

1518258441

Had been practicing for quite some time, and made off with the heist of a lifetime. Hard work pays off.

Nivelo’s lawyer told him there was no fighting it; Ecuador wouldn’t extradite him back to the U.S., but due to an existing treaty between the two countries, Nivelo would have to serve time for the gold heist. Counting on his clean record in Ecuador, Nivelo figured his time in prison would be short. He got a year, and with good behavior, he was released after nine months.

“Listen, if you commit crime, you gotta pay. So I didn’t complain about that,” he said.

He got in the way of the revolution they were planning. I think this is a correct interpretation of events, and serves as a valuable bulwark against the religion of revolution. Violence can only transform society into a worse place.

Very interesting in the context of Elijah Magnier's piece in al rai, Iran is losing influence in Iraq. It sounds like the Iraqis have more or less figured out through the PMU that they're gonna have a permanent insurgency on their hands if they just let Solemani have his way on everything. Listen to Scott Horton interview him in the audio above; it's worth listening to.

Doge was seeing this as being "the way forward" for quite some time now. Glad a chinese company is making it happen with the Ehang 184. Technically it has 8 rotors, but the article itself refers to it as a quadcopter, so...

These people sound like real winners. This is quite possibly the most thinly veiled plundering operation disguised as a bank.
