Anatomy of Money and the State
Across Europe, under the EU, and in the UK, whether an individual government is “left” or “right,” every single one is so indebted to Brussels, big banks, and major bondholders that it has no policy flexibility.

Are We Already in Recession?
My base case has been that we’re repeating the 1970s disaster driven by out-of-control government spending and out-of-control Fed money printing. The official numbers are matching that almost to a tee.
What Is the Real Economic Story of Our Times?
We want to get to the bottom of what has happened to the US and world economy since the disaster of lockdowns. Something doesn’t feel right, and we would like to take an objective look and tell a different story.

Is the Global Inflationary Depression Already Here?
Going back to that commercial real estate crisis, for the New York Times story, most of the large banks would not talk to reporters doing the story. It’s a don’t-ask-don’t-tell economy. No one wants to say hyperinflation or economic depression.

UK Technocrats Sharpen the Knives of Manipulation
My recently published research leads to a startling conclusion: in every sphere of daily life, our thoughts and actions are being psychologically manipulated so as to align them with what the state’s technocrats deem to be in our best interests.

The 3 Drivers of US Consumers Hit a Wall
In short, consumer spending over the past year has been propped up by 3 things: incomes, savings, and debt. All are now out of runway.

On the Edge of the Programmable Ledger: CBDCs
New Zealand’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ), has opened a consultation on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). RBNZ believes that around 2030 they will ‘introduce digital cash to Aotearoa New Zealand.’

Nihilism Strikes with a Vengeance
Today our concerns about nihilism have less to do with capitalism than with the cynical nihilism evident in the actions orchestrated by the group of multi-billionaires who are hellbent on destroying the lives of the rest of humanity by hook or by crook. These sub-humans evidently hold human lives – in fact, all life-forms – in such low regard, that they did not hesitate to promote bioweapons as legitimate ‘Covid-vaccines,’ while probably knowing full well what the effects of these experimental concoctions would be.
2020 Pushed Minnesota Toward the Third World
When government takes on core tenets of civilized life, such as the right to associate, and presumes the right to manage the whole of private and public life including all civic institutions, under whatever excuse, what you end up with is something other than civilized life. Minnesota is just one case in point but the same afflicts many other places in the country and world, as the fallout from the disaster cascades through our lives.

Renters and Owners Live in Separate Economies
In short, renters are in dire straits financially, while homeowners are “continuing to reap the rewards” of cheap pandemic money that left renters with nothing but inflation.

A Fork in the Road of the EU
Sooner or later, EU citizens and political leaders will have to decide which Europe they wish to back: a highly integrated political union with major policies decided from Brussels, or an economic union of sovereign nations with central coordination reserved primarily for issues of mutual economic interest. Neither of these two options is guaranteed to succeed. But trundling along in a political and institutional halfway house, with policies that upset a lot of people but no serious attempt to articulate a shared vision of where Europe is headed or what it stands for, is a recipe for political mediocrity, disillusionment, and chronic instability.
Media: Gen Z is Doomed
Years after the fact, the mainstream media is discovering that Gen Z is doomed. As CNN puts it, Gen Z is “earning less, has more debt, and higher delinquency rates than Millennials did at their age.”
