On how he became disillusioned with the organization. Basically, he realized they gave up on peace when they decided humanity was the enemy.

Hope it's good.

God bless the AMA for fighting this. Of course, the bureaucrats don't give a tinker's damn if it's illegal; though this case can buy freedom a little more time (hopefully).

This time a KKK member tries to build a "death ray" to kill Muslims. Don't they know the Red Skull runs SHIELD?

It's a huge giveaway program to the mega banks with huge amounts of "excess reserves" that can use it in reverse repo operations, which are now unlimited.

Adams has some good insights on Trump. Kind of funny that Adams uses some of Trump's own methods in questioning Horton's positions :)

UPDATE: Adams' considered response. I'd say both Adams and Horton have it right on this one -- Trump is the master persuader, and his positions can all be taken with a grain of salt. That said, Horton understands that this means America will buy a Pig in a Poke, to our great hazard.

By the way, the other master persuader in Moscow recognizes his own kind. I have to say, this theory puts a lot of things into perspective; think about Obama, Trump and Putin when reading this:

When the top persuaders do their thing, about a third of the public can be expected to literally hallucinate.

Excellent news.

Y'know, like journalists.

Good luck. Smuggling is about to be a very lucrative business in corruptoZone.

For the same reason Galveston did, frankly. Too corrupt.

It raised mortgage rates in the equal and opposite direction. Of course, no sane saver will park their money where it will be guaranteed to lose it's value. They'll instead demand a return, as is sensible.

...but they also removed all reverse repo limits. Which means that banks can effectively evade all reserve requirements via overnight covering loans (reverse repo). Clearly they want to have the member banks keep things pumped up while they keep up the appearance of taking the air out of the market. This won't end well.

New book comes out making the same point I've been making for years: even angels centrally planning angels is worse than the private property alternative. As long as the angel in charge can't read the others' minds, it will have incorrect resource allocation. Whether the others' needs are met is effectively random, and this will corrupt said angels, as random reinforcement tends to do. In contrast, capitalism and private property rewards the individual prioritizing their highest goals, which as angels reinforces their better parts.

Paul manages to get in the best lines of the night. In general, the top 3 all opposed the Neocon line, and got away with it, which is probably why the neoconmen are looking to bandwagon behind Trump now. They know he's a lying sack, and that they can probably sway him.

The story of libertatia. Like most libertarian colonies, it was quickly liquidated by natives, as they did not anticipate the aggression of statists and other bandits.

Could be natural liquidation; they are fighting an expensive war, after all.

Freedom? In MY America? I don't believe it.

Quickly becoming the most searched economist. Excellent news.

In other words, if a farmer from 23 centuries ago had sold a quart of barley, he would have received 0.171 grams of silver.

Fast forward to today and that 0.171 grams of silver would buy almost the exact same amount of grain as it did 23 centuries ago.

When the paper speculators are out of the market, it still fulfills it's primary purpose: being a good store of value.

Using the "need" for a border guard as the excuse.

...we want the Islamic state to rule the place forever.

Great new piece by Cockburn. Just lays it out how it's US policy once more to side with AQ.

Because it would work out as well as all other central planning schemes run by fatasses.

Thanks to their city monopoly water system. The market is the only refuge, as usual.

It's so liberal
