- 26Posted by CaptainKirk 7 hours, 19 minutes ago to Money and Power: Fiat Currency, Monetary Corruption, and the Architecture of ExtractionYes. Imagine a simple system:
No Fed (The Treasury USURPS it).
We control the Fed Window (where the leverage happens).
We get paid 1%/yr PER LEVER. Banks lever 10-20x (Creating money out of thin air to create a loan).
This 1% would pay a 10% - 20% interest back to the Treasury. That number (M3) is much bigger than the M1 (What we create by issuing bonds).
We could literally pay down the interest, and have profits. Enough to pay down extra principle. And get out of debt.
IMAGINE... I think Trump understands this.
But who loses? (The "Banksters" who keep the current X% times M3 without paying $1 in taxes).
Don't tax the rich. No need. Just take control of the money, properly.
Want the banks to give better CD rates. UP the Fed Window Rate to 3-5% on levers 3+...
Suddenly banks would want fresh CD money to lever up again...
Either that, or switch to a Currency NOBODY can inflate or counterfeit... And has a transparent worldwide blockchain to record all transactions so you can trace where government money goes, and how much of it goes there... (But the Gulch is NOT ready for that!) :-) - 27Posted by CaptainKirk 7 hours, 32 minutes ago to RIP Dilbert creator Scott AdamsPriceless.
We lost a hero. He had F-You money, and they forced him to use it!
Unfortunately, he did NOT LISTEN and got Vaxxed. The good news is he acknowledged his mistake. And he even said ~"Now... We are in an interesting position where NOBODY who refused the vaxx has any regrets... But those who didn't do!" - 28Posted by CaptainKirk 7 hours, 35 minutes ago to The True Root of All EvilIrrationality reminds me of this quote "The markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent".
And it is a huge problems in MARKETS. Where the market itself expresses emotions, and trading against it with logic often fails. Buying when there is blood in the streets seems IRRATIONAL at some level, but logical at another.
Which is part of the problem. An IRRATIONAL Person (typical Leftists) see THEMSELVES as normal, and USE (logical) as IRRATIONAL. (It's a relative concept). We certainly look irrational to them.
And it's why "generic Labelling works" (Call Trump Dark... Without a single example. It lets the other side fill in what THEY think makes him dark, and therefore it is an accurate attack/depiction, and therefore hard to defend against.
If they gave a specific example. It becomes easier to defend, for some people will NOT see "Threatening Greenland" as "Dark", and it immediately loses it's power. - 29Exactly Correct!
- 30Great guy. Huge contribution! When I worked at General Dynamics, we got an idea turned into one of his comics and a thank you. “It is time to Trashercise”
- 31They think they are.
Semi-retired, for a few years I chased the better paycheck (easy to do with my background) by working for various security guard companies. Trained for a first week when I joined Wackenhut for a couple of years, I was told "Perception is everything." For example, if you're looking down reading something at a desk, a newcomer may think your eyes are closed and sleeping on the job. Here's another from my own experience. An approaching businessman briefly sneers for catching sight of myself. Why? My security guard uniform make he's way better than me. Guess what I think of him while being professionally polite? - 32Maybe some UK idiots thinks they still own the USA
for imagining we came running like loyal puppies to save their dumb butts during two world wars. - 33Posted by craigerb 8 hours, 59 minutes ago to RIP Dilbert creator Scott AdamsI wrote to the editor of the San Jose (Silicon Valley) Mercury News to end the virtue signaling and run all the "Dilbert" comic strips they have been depriving their readers for years.

- 35Posted by mccannon01 9 hours, 16 minutes ago to IN THE MEME TYME NEWS Updates: War Plan RedI didn't see that coming, either, LOL!
- 36Posted by mccannon01 9 hours, 17 minutes ago to Carrying an ID while hikingAgreed!
- 37Posted by mccannon01 9 hours, 19 minutes ago to IN THE MEME TYME NEWS Updates: War Plan RedVery interesting video. It's going to take a second (or third) visit to really absorb the details. The gist is Trump knows what he is doing, but the Main Stream Marxist Media isn't going to tell us.
IMHO, the British Empire is only a shadow of what it was and as it converts to Islam and Marxism it will fade even faster. What we are seeing here are vestiges of the old empire clinging to existence and relevance in attempts to save itself from history's final judgement. It's the same as saying Stalin is dead, but his plan for converting America to a Marxist state still lingers on.
As I watched certain parts of this video I thought maybe this is one of the roots of Field Marshall Montgomery's disdain for Eisenhower and Patton during WWII in Europe. I figure a big reason some things went the way they did is because Churchill's mother was an American from NY so he had roots on both sides of the pond and didn't take too much of Monty's crap.
I thought Canada became independent from Britain in the early '80s? - 38WaPo is WaPoo.
- 39Having watched this, me dino is all the more in awe of all that patriotic genius Trump knows and is trying to do.
Yes, OUC, I could have never guessed what all the "More" was also. - 40I agree. I wouldn't want to pay WaPo either.
- 41Thanks for responding.
As for PayPal and The Washington Post, I blow my nose at both and smelly methane in their general directions. - 42I thought you might like that.
- 43Well, I'll be! What a cheeky thing to say to me!
- 44+1 for your wife, too!
- 45Your manager was someone I would have liked to work for.
- 46I guess you have to pay for the Washington Post. That is part of value for value exchange, I suppose.
- 47This may be kinda new for being sneaking up sneaky.
But how do I get rid of the pop-up PayPal ad that freezes my ability to scroll down the article. Can't even find a "X" to click on. - 48That thought is correct. When I was working at Prime Computer (now very long ago) my manager discovered that his most important job was to deflect the people that got in the way of our department's work. For example, we had been told that company policy was to solve problems at the lowest level and only to escalate unresolvable issues. The manager of another department said, "I don't want you talking to my people. Everything must go through ME!" Our manager took that problem up another level and got it fixed. He also reached up and fixed the company policy in which all accounts payable were pushed out 90 days whenever possible. Our department's artist (on 1099, not an employee) was starving as a result. Right to the top! Fixed!
As Scott said about the Dilbert strip, people often told him, "You work as MY company, right?" Dilbert's problems were at many companies. - 49Don't let your tongue get stuck in your cheek!
- 50Posted by jack1776 10 hours, 23 minutes ago to IN THE MEME TYME NEWS Updates: War Plan RedHave you seen any other links to this explanation; if true, this is unimaginable. I've heard stories in the past that UK thinks it still owns America and they were only allowing self governance. I dismissed these assertions as BS at the time.
I do know that narcissism and megalomania are impossible for normal people to conceive of, these people are on a different level then you and me.
My idea of going Galt on a catamaran with a few others is looking better and better daily. Looking at GTFO....
