The quoted Wall Street Journal piece says that Germany became dangerously dependent on Russian natural gas due to a "market failure." IMHO, that's not true. The German government decided to shutdown all German nuclear power plants in 2011 (for political reasons, nuclear power was now "bad") and replace them with "good" renewable energy sources. When the renewable energy sources, primarily wind power, did not become available soon enough, Germany had no option but import more Russian gas. Putin had Germany under his thumb. The German government failed the German people, not the market! So Bidenomics wants to make similar decisions here in America. I say Hell No!
Exactly! So the Germans pulled out their Luger pistols, made sure they were locked and loaded, put them to their collective temples, and then pulled the trigger. Only in Marxists'/Leftists'/Democrats' ignorant heads would this be "market failure".
Those choices of โworkersโ rights to climate policy and tax compliance,โ are not really economic issues. Itโs not โBidenomics,โ itโs enslaveonomics.
You wonder if Oren Cass actually believes the bullshit he spews. Anybody with a modicum of intelligence knows Capitalism in American has been dead for decades. What this miscreant really intends to say is this: "We really like Economic Fascism, but we recognize its not working right now for our Tribe." In this era of Peak Stupidity this quote from Mark Twain reigns supreme: โIt's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.โ
Brilliant observations and exposure of the who, what, where, when, how and of course why.
Coincidentally I had just read an article regarding the shadow 4th branch or Executive Branch had somehow been modified by a certain ex-president, Woodrow Wilson back in 1913. Essentially replacing those powers of the people with the Administrative shadow brach or what the author calls the 4th branch of government where the sitting presidents can pretty much do whatever they want.
The most reckless part of the modifications basically created the sum of it's parts. Not working together as One but separately. Whereas the 3 branches were designed to work together or the constitution is null.
The Decorations of Independence has been obliterated, in other words. According to that author. But it's difficult not to agree.
I thought for many years that pretty much everybody but me was wrong, but I have observed over the past decade or so that many many people see truths that I do not see. Can Bill's summary of the last 2 years of BPR, and Joel's further summary here be a truly realistic appraisal of the present, and the most likely prediction about the future? Where are the flaws?
In Aug 2021, Dan Denning summarized things thusly: "The [so-called] elites, using the machinery of the State, have all but declared war on your rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
It all fits together into a seemingly accurate, at least internally consistent description of reality. But nobody's perfect - where are the flaws? โฆand do the flaws change the prudent action steps that BPR recommends for us individually? Investments, personal food production and reserves, lifestyle, locationโฆ?
We all still have choices in America, but those are fading rapidly.
You don't need to bet on anything, just make the right choices, as I sometimes do, and don't, but its still my choice...
As a once highly rated chess player, Logic and common sense always directed my choices over others opinions. My choices sometimes had flaws, but never as many as the opinions out there.
In the end, we only have ourselves to blame for our decisions/choices, so do your homework, use your intelligence, and I agree brother Starboard, listen to your soul, as sometimes it's God directing us:)
Hello, thanks for your interesting comment and questions.
Sources of my posted comments are included.
I totally understand your frustrations regarding the state of the world and what to believe or not.
I follow this formula.
There's known trust:
Based on ones own experiences, environment and/or seeking out, diligence/research/exploration/ examination
Indoctrinated trust:
Institutionalized pre disposition
Blind trust:
The game for fools...
I agree with our BPR friends whom so graciously respond to our conversations and concerns.
This is the way and much like the empathetic professors, will keep you in check for your own good.
Please consider subscribing to whatever you can get your hands on by these seasoned generals.
BPR is awesome. Bill Bonner & the crew are in the top tier of their profession and they don't take or give any bs. They refrain from marketing hyperbole, buzz phrases, cryptic acronyms that which attract the self serving, reckless adrenalin junkies you probably want to avoid I'm assuming.
Back to your questions:
Wisdom and knowledge is a double bladed dagger of protection and virtue. Like the ruling classes have known from when it was discovered. We can appreciate the care taken to preserve their way of survival. As relentless and apocalyptic it may appear.
Confidence in your decisions can be achieved through experience wisdom & knowledge, not control. Although they can walk hand in hand when required.
Irrationalities in human behaviors, rules and laws, must be addressed by citizens immediately through reinforcement. Due process (lawsuits: Summons and Complaint), in the USA for example,. Regarding any governing organizational flaw in operation that is verifiably true. In theory this is what our responsibilities are as US Citizens.
(Information purposes only not legal advice nor am I your attorney)
Now, in order to identify any malfunction we must understand the intended operational design. That which requires knowledge devoid of environmental or blind trust. Research allows the formation of opinion when used to confront issues pertaining to procedures, rules and laws.
Fact's matter because they reinforce opinions particularly in the court of law that which precisely fit your particular concerns. And resources to that informational knowledge is readily available through right to know information for expressed opinion. To that which is clearly stated within the Declarations of Independence.
All the best.โ5

"Movement" within the U.S. is often impossible for the American family because moving to take a better job, for example, means losing your health insurance for at least three months - most families cannot take this risk.
I don't have health insurance, except through the divine Physician, and have not been to an allopathic doctor, in 45 years. I can still dig ditches, even though I'm an old fart. Health insurance should be for trauma, like breaking a leg, getting shot by a cop, and so on, not for degenerative diseases, as those shouldn't exist. Americans spend more money on "health care" than any other nation, and get the least in return for it. Our life expectancy is now going down, and diseases, like autism, are through the roof. Did you ever ask yourself why? Only one candidate for president has an idea why, or at least, he is the only one that said it out loud (this is not an endorsement, just an observation). For those that might be interested in alternative health insurance:

Bill and Joel Dan and Tom simply excellent .. like a glass of ice cold water right in the kisser after a night of to much Malbec or whatever .. It's a wake up call to ALL but how many are really listening?

One of my more intellectual posts.
Double hell no!

Bidenomics = Economic Fascism on Steroids. Give a monkey a hammer and everything looks like a nail :-)

We are betting our lives on this stuff.
Hi Jonathan -
At this point we have to "bet our lives" on something.
IMO, BPR is the second safest advice to bet on, right up there behind what God had to say...
We all still have choices in America, but those are fading rapidly.

Hi Dean -
Surely Bill would love to tell us all about them.
But then he'd have to kill us, so...
Bill and Joel Dan and Tom simply excellent .. like a glass of ice cold water right in the kisser after a night of to much Malbec or whatever .. It's a wake up call to ALL but how many are really listening?
Can only hope that there are more JFKjr types around or beltway warriors who are willing to hear/see the truth of what you've been exposing all these years .. perhaps we have to CREEP along for some years yet before a major financial/social reset can occur ..?

Heh, heh!
Jackasses is a polite word amongst good company Bill, I have some reserved for those who "earned" it.
