Kunstler: Murphy’s Law to the Rescue!

Public Policy

What can go wrong will go wrong. It’s so fundamental to the operation of the universe that Sir Isaac Newton should have installed it between his 2nd and 3rd Laws of Motion — but he had his hands full losing a fortune in Britain’s South Sea Bubble circa 1721, after muttering to a colleague that he “could calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.” Note to all you hedge fund cowboys out there: Old Isaac was probably smarter than you (and all the algos you rode in on.)

Was it a fretful Thanksgiving this year, a family feud of political recrimination with a lot teeth gnashing through mouthfuls of candied sweets? Well, yes, coming after the extraordinary fiasco of the Kavanaugh hearings and the disputed midterm elections, but the glide path to Yuletide looks kind of bumpy, too, so here’s a short bill or particulars of things tending to go wrong:

Ukraine verges on martial law after a naval incident with Russian ships in the waters off Crimea. Say what? Martial Law? They might as well declare a Chinese Fire Drill. Details of the actual incident around the Kerch Strait between the Black Sea and the  Sea of Azov remain murky besides the fact that two Ukrainian gunships and a tug disobeyed orders from Russian ships to stand down in Russian maritime waters and shots were fired. Who knew that Ukraine even had a navy, and how can they possibly pay for it? But now NATO is trying to get into the act, meaning the USA will get dragged into just the sort unnecessary and idiotic dispute that kicks off world wars. Note to the Golden Golem of Greatness (aka Mr. Trump): this dog-fight is none of our goddam business. Russia, meanwhile, asked the UN Security Council to convene over this, which is the correct response. What could go wrong?

Late Monday update: I’ve heard reports this afternoon that Russia had intel Ukrainian ships were transporting an explosive device supplied by NATO which they suspected was intended to be deployed to blow up the strategic bridge across the Kerch Strait. Still unconfirmed chatter. Developing story….

Yesterday, about five hundred Central American migrants rushed the border at Tijuana. The US Border Patrol tear-gassed them and they backed off. Bad optics for those trying to make the case for open borders. Naturally, The New York Times portrayed this as an assault on families, defaulting to their stock sob story, though the mob assembling down there is overwhelmingly composed of young men. Complicating matters, a new Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, takes over next Saturday, a Left-wing populist and enemy of Trumpismo. Tijuana is now choking on the thousands of wanderers who were induced to march north to test America’s broken immigration policies. What could go wrong?

Congressional Democrats are said to be “loading the cannons” with subpoenas for Trumpsters to get raked over-the-coals in a circus of committee hearings when they take over the majority in January. They’ll be matched by Senators firing back in hearings controlled by Republicans, setting up the worst political pissing match since the Civil War. In a fair universe, enough dirt would come out on either side to disable the most sinister forces of the Deep State — especially the seditious “intelligence community.” But life is unfair, as Jimmy Carter once observed and the exercise will only fan the flames of already-extreme antipathy. What could go wrong?

The engine pulling that choo-choo train of grievance is Robert Mueller’s Russian Collusion investigation. I expect him to produce mighty rafts of charges against Mr. Trump, his family and associates, and anyone who ever received so much as a souvenir mug from his 2016 campaign. But I doubt that any of it will have a bearing on Russian election “meddling.” And in that case, the charges will be met by counter-charges of an illegitimate investigation, meaning welcome to that constitutional crisis we’ve been hearing about for two years. That’s a mild way of describing anything from a disorderly impeachment to troops in the American streets. What could go wrong there?

Finally, there’s the elephant in the room with the 800-pound-gorilla riding on its back: the economy and its diabolical engine the financial markets. Anyone notice on the lead-up to Thanksgiving and Black Friday that the markets have been going south (and not on holiday to Cozumel)? Stocks are roaring back up again as I write. The TBTF banks and their ringleader, the Federal Reserve, have had a few days to engineer a rally, and the sharper it goes up, the more remaining “greater fools” will get roped in for eventual slaughter. Bond rates are charging back up too, meaning the price is skidding down. Bad combo. The poison cherry-on-top is Bitcoin, which has plunged about 40 percent in ten measly days to a 3000-handle and is headed to zero. So sad, as The Golden Golem might put it. It seemed like such a sure thing less than a year ago. What could have gone wrong?

    US sees UK as a nice potential prey, attempts to encourage hard Brexit and keep the British bitch for itself, after the US stripped the UK of its empire first after 1945. Geopolitics, not for the fainthearted. But remember Britain, you won WW2! Honest! Third world USA can’t replace Europe. Hard Brexit would mean that the UK ends up as Europe’s empoverished own Cuba, isolated, America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier to be deployed against Europe after Trump. Joe would love it, Antius would have trouble making up his mind.

    Confirmation of Kunstler’s assertion that the Ukrainians were plotting to blow up the new bridge between Russia and Crimea:

    https://kozpost.com/blog/wanted-to-blow-up-the-crimean-bridge-after-the-attack-on-ukraine-woke-lavrov-threatens-us-osce-and-the-world/20316/

    Plausible story but needs further confirmation. Ukraine wants Crimea back, the very Crimea that voted to be with Russia, because it is ethnic Russian.

    And I absolutely wouldn’t be surprised if NATO had a hand in this as well.

    The Russians are still silent. Perhaps reluctant to admit that NATO is busy provoking them.

    What an incompetent fools they would prove to be. Trump is right (again), NATO needs to be ditched. EU army now.

    I wonder if the NATO/US idiots understand that to blow up a Russian bridge on Russian Territory would be an act of war and Ukraine would be Russia’s in less than 24 hours? Russia doesn’t want the crumbling Ukrainian economy or the Nazis running it. It will destroy itself in a few years.

    “Ukraine would be Russia’s in less than 24 hours?”

    Our military wonder speaks again out his ass. Billy do you realize what it takes to hold a country that is as large as the Ukraine? In 24 hours???? What a dumbass. Russia can easily fend off anything Ukraine can throw at them but Russia will not walk across Ukraine without steep cost and it will not hold the place like we saw in the 20th century when German held France.

    “A new “secret” police study has found that Chinese crime networks could have laundered over $1B through Vancouver homes in 2016 alone, and that a surge in the city’s home prices are simultaneously tied to a surge in opioid deaths. The report examined over 1,200 luxury real estate purchases in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland during that year, and concluded that over 10% were tied to buyers with criminal records. Crucially 95% of those transactions could be definitively traced by police intelligence back to Chinese crime networks. While the study only looked at property purchases in 2016, an analysis by Global News suggests the same extended crime network may have laundered about $5-billion in Vancouver-area homes since 2012. — Fentanyl: Making a Killing Since 2016 we’ve chronicled the “dark side” behind the Vancouver real estate bubble, which it turns out has long been a bubbling melange of criminal Chinese oligarch “hot money”, desperate to get parked offshore in any piece of real estate, but mostly in British Columbia regardless of price.”

    “The American wife of a Chinese fugitive has been kidnapped and taken to a secret site commonly known as a “black jail” in order to lure her husband back to China to face criminal charges in a $1.4 billion fraud case, according to WRAL. Liu Changming, 53, the father, is among China’s most-wanted fugitives, accused of helping to carry out one of the country’s biggest bank frauds, in which $1.4 billion in illegal loans was issued to property developers. He fled the country in 2007. Sandra Han was detained during a trip to a tropical Chinese island after she and her two children – Victor and Cynthia Liu, traveled on US passports to visit an ailing grandfather. Like their mother, Victor and Cynthia are US citizens. Unlike their mother, however, they were simply placed on travel restriction and not able to leave the country despite saying they are not under investigation or being charged with a crime.”

    “Solar + Storage Minigrids Are Electrifying Towns Across The Philippines”
    https://tinyurl.com/yaac87gs

    “The small Filipino town of Paluan on the island of Mindoro has been electrified with the installation of its own Tesla battery powered solar plus storage minigrid. The new minigrid provides power to local residents who had been living on just a few hours of unstable electricity that came and went as inconsistently as the weather. To solve the situation, a new solar plus storage plus diesel solution was installed that provides stable power to residents 24 hours a day, 7 days per week for the first time ever. The system leverages a 2 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic solar installation and a 1.8 MW / 1.5 MWh Tesla Powerpack installation. The solar installation provides the bulk of the electricity required to supply the needs of residents, and the Tesla Powerpack installation stores up excess daytime solar production which can be used through the night. Three diesel generators with a combined capacity of 1,260 kilowatts (kW) was added to provide supplemental power during peak usage over the evening hours and to offset the seasonality of the solar generating system. The installation highlights how relatively simple it is for those islanded from existing electricity supply networks to install a microgrid, minigrid, or full-blown grid of their own, built on a foundation of currently available solar and storage solutions. Importantly, the installation was justified and funded without subsidies, demonstrating how competitive and practical solar plus storage installations are, even in rural regions. The new system in Paluan is effectively a smaller version of what Tesla installed in Samoa, with its Tesla Grid Controller taking over to manage the balance of the solar generation, energy storage, and hydroelectric storage on the island. No overpaid, overcomplicated, high priced, centralized, polluting power plant needed. This is the manifestation of a paradigm that has shifted, as is now being rolled out around the world as established business leaders pivot towards the next generation of energy generation and storage solutions.”

The secret to the new module is the use of achromatic lenses that focus incoming sunlight on miniaturized multi-junction solar cells. A two-axis solar tracker is also employed to boost efficiency during the day. CPVMatch has been working toward the goal of making CPV technology production-ready for the past 3½ years. It has merged the efforts of researchers in Germany, Italy, Spain, and France. It is not enough to set records in the laboratory if the results cannot be translated into commercial products at an affordable price.”

    Fox Business host fears capitalism is in trouble because Americans will see companies “posting record earnings and firing people”

    CHARLES PAYNE (FOX BUSINESS HOST): But this is why, I think, capitalism in and of itself is in a lot of trouble in the country. Because, you know, these companies keep posting record earnings and they keep firing people. They keep posting record earnings and they buying back billions of dollars of their own stock. The American public is going to get hip to this and my fear is that they’re going to end up electing, not a democratic socialist, just a straight-up socialist because of these kind of shenanigans. They should have saw this coming a long time ago.

    You are all so much into the human matrix. One narrative figthing all the others, and all other narratives fighting every body else, but never really touching the core.

    The main problem – according to The Greater Biospere’s best judgement- is that there are too many humans with no other common goal than more riches for them selves, and absolutely no respect for the needs of other species.
    But lately great improvements have been achived in central africa where human life-restricting diseases are in great progress. Even the food processing pigs in china and elsewhere have been hit by mortal epidemies. These adjustments are seen as positive developments by a majority of The Greater Biosphere’s members.
    The Greater Biosphere is expecting more similar advances on other fronts, but won’t yet comment on that. Let’s just say it’s comming.
    This is of course not a threat to the existense of Homo Sapiens, but just an adjustment of the numbers of individuals that should be allowed to inhabit a given area with the sustainability of the area in question.
    We wish all good for Homo Sapiens, and we wish to help them adjust to future changes and challenges.
    The greater Biosphere also wishes to welcome all species into a dialog about the future of common interests and eventual actions taken to preserve the good life on Earth

  22. makati1 on Tue, 27th Nov 2018 10:20 pm 

    claes, the human species is well on its way to extinction in the not too distant future. Perhaps by 2100. Nothing humans can do will stop the rush to the cliff. The human lemmings are programed to fail and we are running faster and faster to that end every day.

    Maybe you don’t read current events around the world or believe in climate change/global heating? Denial does not change anything, nor does “hope” or “prayer”. It is already too late. We are killing the very systems we need to survive. At some point we will hit the tipping event that ends it all. All we can do is prepare so we can ease some of the pain as it progresses.

    Mak, I’m basically in favour of the georgia guidestones, but with that extra flavour that all the other beings on planet earth have an equal rigth to be here too.
    When we started exterminating other species by the day and the hour we lost our rigth to be the masters of this planet.
    I have lost my sympathy for modern human civilisation – although american music from the thirties up to the eighties are quite cool- but that’s it.
    Human exceptionalism is from my perspective our ultimate sin, which I can’t foregive us. I admit I’m a part of this extreme selfishness, but that doesn’t make it better.
    My best wishes for the biosphere would be a total collapse of the global industrialism and all the culture surrounding it. And it’s about time for a lot of animals and other species if they shall survive. The world today has none respect at all for life that is different from humans.
    And the basic power behind this cruel extermination is -wait for it- fossil fuels. With out it we would be just another living creature fighting for survival. Let peakoil begin as soon as possible.

    Von Mises theory is-if I understand it right- that the amount of money in a society should mirror the value of work done, and not value of work that has not been created yet (which is called debt). Our society is build upon debt, which is the reason why we have to have eternal growth in order to pay the rates of this basic dept.

    I don’t see extinction but I do see a bottleneck of sorts at least with a population drop to around 1BIL. I see a few decades of really bad times ahead maybe in 1 to 2 decades. This could happen anytime though. We can make it less bad if we get our shit together. Extinction is possible because we just don’t know how hot this planet will get.

    All signs are of a coming explosion in either France or the US or both are there:

    http://www.pi-news.net/2018/11/der-zusammenbruch-frankreichs/

    Gérard Collomb, until last month Macron’s minister of the interior, has warned that French and immigrants simply do not want to live together. The brother of a good friend of Macron, General Pierre de Villiers, has warned that the French state simply hasn’t enough manpower to contain immigrant areas, if they would revolt. And that moment isn’t very far away.

    Breaking down of the leftist order means civil war and the end of empire and either a victory of the immigrants or hard right. I bet on the latter. There are sufficient forces in Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Russia to restore European order in western Europe and hang every NATO official and commie journalist to the highest tree.

    Darth Sidious and his ilk are slowly losing control of the West and have so far failed to provoke the Russians into a shooting war.

    The problem is that they have altered the ‘demographics’ of the western world to the point where very soon it will no longer be white European. That is a nightmare scenario, but barring something very dramatic, it appears to lie ahead of us.
