The only reason someone starts an auto company is because of passion or stupidity or both.   Sometimes that combination actually can be a winning one for obvious reasons.  That is, if you are passionate enough, you can often create solutions to large obstacles.  If one contracts m… Read full post »

I want to start this post off by reminding readers of remarks made by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson back in 2007 before the collapse.   I remember Paulson giving a TV interview where he waxed poetic about unprecedented strength of the global economy and unprecedented global prosperity.&nb… Read full post »

This is a very long post and may be my last for a while.  I’ll be back.   Probably May or early June at the latest.  If the title topics are of interest, the most pressing analysis of what is really happening today is near the end.  This is a pulling together… Read full post »

I’m highly dubious of the purity of Obama’s just announced brain research initiative.  With DARPA (the defense department’s research agency) involved and with institutionalized secret government, I suspect this may have less than honorable intentions.  Especially since bot… Read full post »

Well, what is there to say?  Obama doesn’t have a clue what he is doing.  Period.  About anything.  Well, I suppose he must be pretty good at basketball and golf because he spends so much time doing both.  I’ve said all of these crony investments are going to fail and tha… Read full post »

I have shown this graphic before.   It is a composite of European sovereign debt in red overlaid on the S&P.  The correlation is nearly perfect except since the start of 2013 when the S&P disconnected and pushed to new highs on the threat of new debt concerns in Europe… Read full post »

I actually agree with most everything Hedges writes in this article.   In fact, in some way, shape or form, this article’s premise has been a topic on this blog numerous times.  That said, I certainly do not believe there has been any treason of intellectuals.  True intellec… Read full post »

I thought this post fitting today because it is April Fool’s Day.  And, because we have been fooled repeatedly for the last two hundred years by banking criminals.  It’s time to end the truly unjust, antidemocratic, criminal foolery of private, for-profit banking forever. … Read full post »

When I used to to write about the massive money laundering by global banks, I’m sure many thought I was fringe.  The global corruption of finance is incredible and well beyond what any one person most certainly knows.   That includes major U.S. and European banks.  The whist… Read full post »

We’ll see how this BRIC plan develops but this has the potential to be a huge sea change.  Although I certainly don’t believe any political or state-driven development in this environment as necessarily having lasting value.  ie, As an example, just because our king, Obama, make… Read full post »

My last post was very explicit in its nature.  A single, almost imperceptible perturbation can lead to incomparable devastation.  There was a reason for that remark.  And, that reason has now come to pass.  That is, the seemingly imperceptible banking crisis of a very small nation… Read full post »

Anyone watching the financial industry has to be aware of what is going on in Europe but if you are busy raising your family or watching your favorite reality show or listening to political idiots tell you the economy has recovered, the EU has recently threatened to withhold a bailout for… Read full post »

I received the italicized remarks below in an email yesterday from Environmental Working Group and wanted to share them.  The statistics are so outrageous that I don’t know what is accurate without doing any diligence but some numbers show 70% of antibiotics sold in this nation go into animal… Read full post »

We certainly know this type of predatory and violent democracy-killing behavior happens all across the nation.  To deny it exists is ridiculous.  Kudos to The Nation, even though I am linking to Truth-Out for the story and Nation video. 

This issue brings up a mainline issue with the… Read full post »

I'm a big fan of Dr. Weil.  He's authentic.  He's smart.  He appreciates esoteric factors affecting our existence.  He's outside of the system.   And, he understands the mind-body,  food and social connections to both mental and physical illness.  

The c… Read full post »

Years ago I wrote that we are likely entering a war cycle and laid out a very detailed analysis of what I thought were going to be the likely drivers.  Without rehashing everything, that driver was deregulated capitalism.  Since then a few other well-respected people have also made the same… Read full post »

The corporate state continues to tighten its grips on criminal secrecy. 

"All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed."

Almost no large businesses today would exist without the force of the state.  On some level I would say all of them fall far short of serving democracy in varying degrees.  And in many ways that aren’t quite obvious, almost all major companies are looters of democracy that rely on the… Read full post »

I have followed substantially what is considered to be the paleo diet for most of my adult life.  The paleo diet is a ketogenic diet.  Although I eat substantially more raw and fermented foods than is probably associated with this type of diet.  And I probably eat less muscle meat and… Read full post »

 A friend sent me this video this morning. I guess it has become highly popular on the web so I might as well be part of the crowd.  Ha.  I just watched it and would highly recommend it to everyone.  It will awaken many minds to a greater truth.  Grillo is… Read full post »

More disturbing news.  Our perceptions are often that these issues are manmade.  Electromagnetic pollution, millions of tons of farming chemicals that even show up in our rain, genetically-modified foods with unknown consequences and endless manmade toxic poisons are everywhere.  There… Read full post »

New investigation reveals the Pentagon sent a former thug in charge of it’s brutal Central American campaigns to set up Iraqi torture centers.  This is an incredible bit of investigative journalism by the Guardian and BBC highlighting very serious human rights abuses.  This goes right… Read full post »

This is the fifth in a series I started in the fourth quarter of last year.    Positive volume, or demand, and price are always correlated in any functioning market.  In other words, without demand or with waning demand, prices fall.  That is, unless prices are rigge… Read full post »

This is very interesting.  At some point the human ecosystem is able to either ward off or even assimilate pathogens.  We now see that much of the human DNA that was once considered junk by “junk science”, is now comprised of viruses and pathogens that once infected us.  We… Read full post »

When the shit hits the fan for corporate-funded social media, no one should be shocked.  The small perturbations are already being felt.  Albeit, they are also being ignored or brushed off.  No surprise.  Standard fair actually.   Right now, because of macro factors, ad… Read full post »
