Kunstler: Flying Blind

Events are in the driver’s seat now, not personalities.

Kunstler: Signs and Wonders

In case you don’t know what condition our condition is in, the name for it is a crisis of legitimacy. Four years of seditious harassment by a “Resistance” within-and-without the US Government culminates in the janky election of a mentally incapable grifter… run by whom? Does anyone seek to know who, exactly, is pulling Joe […]

The Fraying of the US Global Currency Reserve System

Since autumn of 2019, I’ve been bearish on the dollar, meaning I have a longish-term outlook towards a weaker dollar. This view began forming when the Federal Reserve cut interest rates in summer 2019, and then the view solidified with a catalyst after an overnight repo rate spike in September 2019 forced the Fed to […]

Klaus Schwab: 2021 should be year of the ‘Great Reset’

The pandemic has reminded us that we cannot aim solely for higher GDP and profits, on the assumption that maximizing these indicators automatically redounds to the benefit of society.

2020: The Year Consensus Reality Fractured

Virtually everyone agrees that 2020 was an abomination. An entire industry of opinion writers is busying itself with end-of-year handwringing, scouring every online thesaurus for adjectives to express just how horrible the last twelve months have been. But what facet of the awfulness to focus on? For the appalled chronicler, the most obvious starting points […]

The Great Reset: An Explainer On The New World Order

Necessity is the mother of all inventions, and the year although plagued with the horrible effects of the pandemic ends on one silver lining.

The Next Dollar Problem Has Just Arrived

It is not for no reason that cryptos are roaring, and precious metals are playing catch-up.

Kunstler: The Gyre Widens

The mind-numbing weirdness of Joe Biden’s insertion into the election of 2020 — like the furtive groping of an intern in a cloakroom — only signals the Democratic Party’s reckless drive to self-destruction, dragging the republic over the edge of an abyss with it. How did this hollowed-out figure of a grifting old pol find […]

Kunstler: Offstage Noises

Friday night, the US Supreme Court booted the Texas case against the swing state election janksters, the citation of “standing” likely a cover story for another reason that isn’t strictly legal doctrine but rather a sentiment, namely, that a presidential election dispute belongs more properly in the elected House of Representatives than in the unelected […]
