Kunstler: Marching to Gilead
I suppose Mr. Trump dangled visions of North Korea’s future as a Buick showroom and the mysterious Kim Jong Un detected some kind of trap there. A correspondent with military intel credentials writes: “[Eric] Hoffer’s observation that people only revolt when things are getting better seems applicable to DPRK. I can only assume that Kim and his cabal in NK know this or somehow instinctively understand it. In short, as I see it, he can’t afford to let things get really better for North Korean people. So, I believe Trump’s carrot of great economic success for DPRK’s people probably scares Kim badly.”
It was certainly hard to imagine the two leaders in conversation: The President with his larval vocabulary and Mr. Kim in his life-long solipsistic haze. Perhaps they compared hair-dos, both equally strange, would you not admit? Something tells me that Mr. Kim is not a golfer, so that was out as an icebreaker, though it’s said he does enjoy firing artillery at human targets — one thing that Mr. Trump has not been accused of by former consiglieri-turned-pagliaccio Michael Cohen. Perhaps Mr. Trump let Mr. Kim in on the glorious beauty of an American Cheeseburger, a sure-nuff wonder of the world!
In any case, the US president trundled home without nailing that ole coonskin to the wall, as one of his predecessors put it, but the game isn’t over. For now, it’s back to war on the home front against the armies of Wokesterdom. That movement appears to be floundering a bit too now as Jussie Smollett whirls down the memory hole, and #MeToo sputters, and the various congressional committees scrape the bottom of every barrel for the always-elusive triumphal “gotcha” in their crusade to correct the 2016 election. The fishy barrel that Michael Cohen came out of provided disappointingly thin sludge, so now The New York Times (official playbill of Wokesterdom) informs us that next up they’ll be hauling Mr. Trump’s financial officer, one Allen Weisselberg, into the star chamber for a ‘splainin’ session. Pretty soon, they’ll make the amazing discovery that the New York City construction scene is run by the mob. Won’t that be a revelation?
Let’s face it, March is a month that drips with fraughtness. Everybody is good and goddam sick of winter, yet it lingers sadistically, not unlike the Mueller investigation. Then, you get to the middle of the month and what’s there? The sinister Ides, an age-old ceremonial turning point of the year recognized by the ancients even before Julius Caesar got whacked in the Roman senate. I propose that mid-March this year will be the occasion of so many shoes dropping that Washington will look like a road show of Shuffle Along.
Everybody and his/her/zhe/they’s uncle expects Mr. Mueller to cast down his report from on high. In a non-Bizarro world it would be a catalog of indictments for most of the FBI executive leadership circa 2016-2018, and a few cherries-on-top from the DOJ, CIA, and the DNC. More likely, it will be a stuffed, roasted rump of innuendo drenched in Russian dressing garnished with rinky-dink “process” crime convictions. One way or another, it’s sure to disappoint the minions of Wokesterdom.
But once that’s out of the way, more interesting action may be in the offing. Mr. Trump, despite all the Twitter bluster, has at least patiently held back on declassifying reams of documents pertaining to official misconduct by many of the investigators themselves, perhaps even Mr. Mueller and some of his colleagues. I expect a steady and measured release of that classified material, and it will tell a tale that may even startle the Wokesters out of their dark raptures.
Nobody knows exactly what the new attorney general, Mr. Barr, might do. So far, he has not done anything. I will be surprised if that continues. He is probably also waiting for the Mueller report before he starts dispatching folks to grand juries, perhaps even a former president, and certainly some of his foot-servants and handmaidens. Upcoming too are actions by the DOJ inspector general, Mr. Horowitz, federal prosecutor John Huber’s forgotten commission, and the reappearance of General Flynn in Judge Sullivan’s DC courtroom.
March is also looking like the moment when the financial world starts rockin’ and rollin’ on the recognition that the global economy has stalled. The fantasy of economic triumph is the one float that the Golden Golem of Greatness has been able to parade around on. Both the real estate markets and the car business have gone south now, and the financial entanglements entailed by them, in the form of securitized mortgages and loans, are janky enough to start blowing up pension funds, insurance companies, and state treasuries just for starters. The complacency on Wall Street ought to be a prime signal for the sentient to duck-and-cover.

Also there’s not much room on the down side rates. Its China or bust folks. Oil is done. Soon Germany will be cozying up to the Russian gas fed fire. USA is running out of countries to bully, things are so bad they have to do 9-11 part 2, “Hamzain a blast”……. Won’t you guys feel pathetic using your magnification glass to burn Venezuelan bugs like retarded bullies. Can’t say much for the UK, we can’t even break free from the EUSSR. Thats what you get for 30 years of brainwashing people to think joining up with the Nazis is a good idea

I have to disagree with JHK’s view of NK and Trump. It is not that Kim wants to keep his people poor. It’s that he wants the best deal for them and it ain’t giving in to Trumps tantrums. NK is NOT going to give up any nuclear advantage until Trump gives in to taking down some of the US’ sanctions. Since that did not happen, no change in the situation.
As for the freak show circus in DC…not worth my time to follow. A greater collection of psychopaths has never existed. My only hope is that there is enough common sense left to keep us from a nuclear war. Will it be “Buckle UP!” or “Duck & Cover!” or both. We shall see.

BTW Anon, if the US had not butted in long ago, North Korea would now be just part of Korea, and would not have developed nukes. It would not have needed them to keep the rabid US away. The US would not have 28,000 troops in South Korea.
The US has to control everything or they destroy it. North Korea is a perfect example of that fact. As is Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc. The sooner the rabid dog America goes down, the better for the rest of the world.

Kunstler’s ignorance of international affairs is on par with the vast majority of his kind. He may be a good critic of car-dependency and urban blight in amerika and related issues, and he even does a credible job when describing his own corrupt nations political and economic decline. But, when he tries to venture outside the borders of the uS, he is as appallingly ignorant as any of his fellow amrikcants could hope to be.
The idea he is advancing this week, that NK’s leadership wishes for, and hopes for the permanent impoverishment of its people as a deliberate matter of policy, is, so wrong it is not even wrong. JHK does himself no favors by displaying his ignorance and myopia with statements like these. But, parading their ignorance to the world seems to be a national pastime in the land of demockracy and Freedom Fries, James is no ‘exception’. He seems to regard amerika’s sworn enemies with the same casual contempt shown by CNN, Faux etc. Only fit for ridicule and scorn. He gives Russia a bit of pass from his usual contempt for foreigners, but that is only because he recognizes they at least, are big enough to push back.

Well compared to what you know about the rest of the world he is a genius. You are a narrow minded anti-American Canadian creep who Jew baits and practices mindless personality games instead of intelligent contributions.
“He may be a good critic of car-dependency and urban blight in amerika and related issues, and he even does a credible job when describing his own corrupt nations political and economic decline.

Wow that is some anti-Americanism drooling. What an idiot
“The idea he is advancing this week, that NK’s leadership wishes for, and hopes for the permanent impoverishment of its people as a deliberate matter of policy, is, so wrong”
Well, I agree with that. NK is not looking to impoverish its people but it does want total control so in a way the loss of freedom is impoverishment.
“Is so wrong it is not even wrong.”
WTF, planet do people talk like that

Check out the population of NK and try to tell me they have the ability to have 10MIL men under arms?? What about all the logistics and so forth. Look at NK by night. It is dark. You are beyond dumb on this one. Their people are under fed and in a serious depression at the moment. You are ignorant of these things but you sure put your faith in some stupid site you googled.

The US is an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state.
Those who warned about black helicopters and jack-booted thugs twenty years ago were called nutjobs.
Ten or fifteen years ago, patriotic and thinking Americans really started to worry about the direction of the USA.
Today most Americans know something is wrong, but they either don’t know what or don’t care.
The few Americans who are awake are increasingly becoming more pessimistic as the US obviously declines. The situation in USA looks hopeless.
Everyday the elites make more laws, the debt rises, wars are conducted, and Americans become more immoral.
Courts won’t rule against unconstitutional laws, politicians don’t repeal laws, the Gestapo has become more brazen, no one cares about government spending, wars are not being ended, and Americans are not flocking to churches and embracing morality.
Trump is either part of the establishment, naive, or being drugged or threatened to build the police state, increase the debt, and keep the wars going.
Some say the USA could last another 100 years, but that outlook seems unlikely.
Concerned Americans who once didn’t take the US collapse seriously are wondering what to do.
Buying guns, gold, and food is good advice, but something more must be done other than just waiting for the US Ponzi economy to implode, riots to happen, Civil War 2.0 to break out, the concentration camps to open, and WWIII to start.
Having a few thousand prepared Americans won’t do much good against the evil ruling class when they launch their final solution against the 99%.
The US needs millions of Americans to get out into the streets with pitchforks and torches now. Windows will need to be broken, people are going to be arrested, and people are going to die.
Americans must start making sacrifices today to wake people up, prepare, protest, and resist.
Americans need to talk to everyone to get the word out. Americans need to spend some money to start websites, print up flyers, and rent billboards.
If Americans remain quiet then there is nothing to stop the ruling powers from sending the 99% off to the gulags.
This is no joke.
Anyone who has eyes and studied a little bit of history can tell you what’s going to happen.

Even CNN warns the UK against signing a trade deal with the US. It will be a diktat, an outright take-over:
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/01/business/us-uk-trade-deal-brexit/index.html
“Britain’s hopes of a trade deal with America just suffered a big blow”
The British, who love to imagine that they have a “special relationship” with their US “friends” (in reality the US was responsible for the largest degradation in British history, namely the intentional demolishing by the US of the British empire, the largest in history and since the war the US deep state is after the eradication of white Britain… but hey, the evil Natzis were defeated!).
Not that CNN cares about white Britain or its empire of former fame, it is just that they hate Trump so much that they can’t stand it would be Trump incorporating the UK as the 51st US state.
The list of priorities, which runs to 18 pages, makes sobering reading for a British government that was hoping for a quick deal on trade with the word’s largest economy after Brexit.
“This is an uncompromising document from the US point of view, with no mention of mutual benefit,” said David Henig, the director of the UK Trade Policy Project and a former UK trade official…
Scrapping those barriers could open Britain’s door to genetically modified crops, animal feed with antibiotics and chlorine-washed chicken products that are banned in the European Union but common in the United States.
Whatever.
Eurasians (EU, Russia, China, 2 billion) merely need to watch from the sidelines how the Anglo-Zionist world is going down the drain, faster than anybody else.
Two Anglo centuries will come to an end on the very moment that a group of frustrated white guys will form a beachhead, somewhere in the US, that won’t be taken out in a couple of weeks. And China will immediately seize the opportunity and invade Taiwan. And if the US would have the nerve to intervene, China will declare the western Pacific a no-go area for Anglo naval ships.

There is a reason why you will never discuss both world wars in detail, because you know very well that the historic truth is vastly different from the official lies of the empire, you stinking lying white trash hillbilly.
US involvement in WW1 was the result of the Balfour deal between the British who were facing losing WW1, instigated by them and US kikes, who arm-twisted Wilson into the war, using the Lusitania as a pretext.
WW2 was a setup by US jews from the beginning (1933) who planned the destruction of Europe (including Britain) together with their kiken brethren in the USSR, using the services of the best politician, jewish money can buy, that is half-American Winston Churchill.

270 Watt solar panels in Holland now cost 120 euro.
270 Watt means annual yield (in grey, rainy Holland) of 0.85 x 270 = 230 kWh.
Panels can function for 40 years or more, deteriorating to merely 80%:
https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2019/02/16/solar-panel-still-working-after-40-years/
So average total yield to 0.90 x 40 x 230 = 8280 kWh or 0.014 eurocent/kWh.
Double that amount for installation, wiring, converter etc. and you arrive at 3 eurocent per kWh.

This clown cannot be anything other than a Kike. If he is a white man, then he is the sickest, most masochistic individual that I have ever encountered.

Antius, I think he is a white–white hater. He comes from small town Indiana (so he says) that is not populated much by people of color nor Jews. I think he just has bought into the rabid extremist identity politics of the left. He loves promoting conflict and discontent. He wants an anarchist rapture so he can do a mad max joyride. This is likely just fantasy though. MOB is big talk but little backbone. I imagine he will cower in fear if SHTF.

“270 Watt solar panels in Holland now cost 120 euro.”
Good news. The 270 watts is peak power at peak sun. Assuming Holland has annual insolation of 1000kWh per square metre per year; that means 230kWh per year for a 0.85 square metre panel, just as you say. That implies an efficiency of 23%.
The economics of solar installation are strongly scale dependant. To calculate realistic cost, you also need to make some assumptions about discount rate. My general assumption for these sorts of calcs is to assume a 10% payback per year at start of life (5% repayment and 5% interest) which would fall to 5% payback after 20 years, at which point interest would be small. So say 7.5% capital repayment per year on average. Over the first 20 years of life, the panel will accumulate radiation damage, but let’s assume it produces 80% of initial efficiency after 20 years and degradation is roughly linear with time. That means the panel will produce roughly 90% of rated power over the first 20 years, assuming it is optimally positioned and kept clean.
(0.075 x 120) / (230 x 0.9) = 0.043 Euro per kWh.
Not bad at all – easily competitive with domestic electricity rates in west European countries. The economics generally turn to crap as soon as electricity storage is factored in. Not only is there capital and maintenance cost associated with storage, but energy costs as well. Our ancestors had different ways of dealing with this problem.
