The hidden agenda in the so-called tax reform bill is to act as stop-gap quantitative easing to plug the “liquidity” hole that is opening up as the Federal Reserve (America’s central bank) makes a few gestures to winding down its balance sheet and “normalizing” interest rates. Thus, the aim of the tax bill is to prop up capital markets, and the apprehension of this lately is what keeps stocks making daily record highs. Okay, sorry, a lot to unpack there.
Primer: quantitative easing (QE) is a the Federal Reserve’s weasel phrase for its practice of just creating “money” out of thin air, which it uses to buy US Treasury bonds (and other stuff). The Fed buys this stuff through intermediary Too Big To Fail banks which allows them to cream off a cut and, theoretically, pump the “money” into the economy. This “money” is the “liquidity.” As it happens, most of that money ends up in the capital markets. Stocks go up and up and bond yields stay ultra low with bond prices ultra high. What remains on the balance sheets are a shit-load of IOUs.
The third round of QE was officially halted in 2014 in the USA. However, the world’s other main central banks acted in rotation — passing the baton of QE, like in a relay race — so that when the US slacked off, Japan, Britain, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of China, took over money-printing duties. And because money flies easily around the world via digital banking, a lot of that foreign money ended up in “sure-thing” US capital markets (as well as their own ). Mega-tons of “money” were created out of thin air around the world since the near-collapse of the system in 2008.
And magically, with no negative consequences! Yet. Now, Europe and Japan are making noises about dropping their batons. China’s banking system is so opaque and perverse — because it is unaccountable except to the ruling party with its own agenda — that it’s quite impossible to tell what they are really doing, though the signs of mal-investment are obvious and startling. And the UK’s finances are tied up in its messy divorce proceedings with the EU (with the British standard of living dropping markedly meanwhile). In short, the torrent of global “liquidity” looks to be slowing to a trickle.
The expectation is that this would make stock markets go down and bond interest rates to go up (fewer buyers), perhaps a lot. The dirty open secret here is that these central bank interventions are the only means for keeping the capital markets up, and that the markets are just a Potemkin false front for Western economies that are drying up and blowing away. That is certainly the experience here in the USA, where banking hocus-pocus now accounts for about 30 percent of GDP, and most of that activity is either out-and-out fraud or swindling, or collecting rents and dividends on past frauds and swindles.
Dem/Prog America in its Silicon Valley gourmet employee bistros and Hamptons lawn parties thinks that the flyover Trumpist Red State world of meth, joblessness, and anomie is some kind of a Netflix hallucination. But no, it’s for real. The center of the ole US of A is hollowed out. The bad news is that it probably has enough juice left in its disaffected youth, and certainly enough weaponry, to start a very serious insurrection if it continues to get dissed.
Enter the joker in the deck: Bitcoin. Though it pulled back a couple of thou overnight, this strange investment vehicle blasted through $18,000-per-Bitcoin in the past 24 hours, roughly tripling from $6000 in one month. It even endured the hacking of one of its exchanges, NiceHash, where $70 million was looted without so much as a stutter in the upward thrust of the chart. Whatever else Bitcoin is — and I would suggest a “Ponzie,” a “mania,” a “con” — this thing is a message. The message is that financial circulatory system of the global economy is in some kind of distress. Another take-away is that the rush into Bitcoin represents a loss of faith in matrix of rackets that world banking has become, and a flight to perceived safety in a putative financial instrument beyond the clutches and the lying propaganda of nervous, self-interested governments.
For the moment, Bitcoin is doing the job that gold used to do: indexing the loss of value in paper currencies and the things that affect to represent them. Except that Bitcoin has no material reality. It is a figment of mathematics. The vaunted blockchain “technology” is just a formula for packaging information and assigning it to live in various places. It appears to have some worth as a ledger system, for keeping track of accumulated value in an allegedly transparent and honest mode. But the thing it is toting up and sending chits around the world for — Bitcoin — has no value in and of itself.
If “money” can be said to represent a future claim on work, or energy, or things that they produce, then Bitcoin is not money at all because it only represents energy burned in the computer exertions necessary to “mine” the Bitcoins. In other words, it costs a lot of energy to create Bitcoins, and there’s no claim on future energy, or work — it’s already gone. That energy use is catching the world’s attention and is beginning to look pretty profligate. Like, if Bitcoin happened to shoot up over $100,000-per-unit, it would hog an unseemly portion of the worlds electric power.
Anyway, that’s only one interpretation of the Bitcoin rush. In the end, I believe it’s simply telling us that the global financial system is headed for some serious trouble. It is vectoring right smack into the same lane as the gathering political crisis in the US government, as a fight to death between Donald Trump and his adversaries comes darkly into view.

“The Missouri goat herder is bleating again. Couldn’t hack being a real farmer and dealing with the real world that doesn’t give a shit about who he is or thinks he is.”
So translation is I am right you do not farm and know nothing about farming. You are never at the fantasy farm. You spend your days in the westernized part of Manila railing against the western world. LMFAO. That means you are talking about yourself. What a twisted and corrupted old man in pre dementia.
You know nothing about animal husbandry. I have cattle and goats in a grazing system. It is all about using animals in a mix and a rotation to fully utilize pasture without the use of chemicals and heavy equipment. You would not know that hence your derogatory comments on goats. You are always talking up the poor subsistence farmers of Asia. Do you realize Asia as a huge population of goats? Nope, because you live in Makati, Manila which is little different than NYC. You are just a fake and a blowhard. I constantly see the end of your comments “Are you prepared”. You are in the worst possible spots in the world in regards to overshoot. The very worst in terms of population density on an Island with nowhere to go. IOW, you are screwed, blued, and tattooed. Not to mention you are an old man in a 3rd world country without health insurance. The first major health problem and you are SOL. Did you forget I am supposed to be ignored? What did I say that got under your skin and got you to forget I am on your ignore list. LMFAO

@ Joe
Germany WAS forced into war. Yes, the elites have successfully molded public opinion to believe peace-loving and weak little Poland was attacked by an ever-marauding National Socialist Germany. This is a convenient and oversimplified understanding of history that supports the elite narrative.
Are you aware that numerous diplomatic efforts were made by the German government to defuse the ever more dangerous situation the two countries were facing? These efforts were ALL rejected by Poland. One of them comes to mind: on January 6th, 1939, the German Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop met with the Polish Foreign Minister Josef Beck in Munich to discuss the differences between the two countries. Von Ribbentrop proposed the following solution: the return of Danzig to Germany. In return, all of Poland’s economic interests in this region would be guaranteed, and most generously at that. Germany would be given access to her province of East Prussia by means of an extraterritorial highway and rail line. In return, Germany would guarantee the Corridor and the entire Polish status, in other words, a final and permanent recognition of each nation’s borders.
Even worse, Poland was involved in a scheme of ethnic cleansing Germans from Polish territory. Those Germans who were able to flee (400.000) with just the clothes on their back to Germany were the lucky ones. Some 55,000 ethnic Germans (German authorities claimed 78,000 murdered Germans!) were murdered, often under the most bestial circumstances. A German mother grieving for her sons wrote on October 12th, 1939: “Oh, but that our dear boys [her sons] had to die such terrible deaths. 12 people were lying in the ditch, and all of them had been cruelly beaten to death. Eyes gouged out, skulls smashed, heads split open, teeth knocked out… little Karl had a hole in his head, probably from a stabbing implement. Little Paul had the flesh torn off his arms, and all this while they were still alive. Now they rest in a mass grave of more than 40, free at last of their terror and pain.”
The British government issued Poland a guarantee that England would come to its aid if Poland should be attacked. This was on March 31st, 1939. Its purpose was to incite Poland to escalate its endeavors for war against Germany (as the US did with Georgia to attack South Ossetia vis a vi the Russians). It happened as planned: England declared war on Germany on September 3rd, 1939, but not on the Soviet Union who also attacked Poland, and this is proof enough that it was England’s intention in the first place to make war on Germany. Thus WW2 was arranged by a complicity between Britain and Poland. It was not Hitler’s war, it was England’s and Poland’s war. The Poles were merely the stooges. Some of them knew it too – Jules Lukasiewicz, the Polish ambassador to Paris, for instance, who on March 29th, 1939 told his foreign minister in Warsaw:
“It is childishly naive and also unfair to suggest to a nation in a position like Poland, to compromise its relations with such a strong neighbour as Germany and to expose the world to the catastrophe of war, for no other reason than to pander to the wishes of British domestic policies. It would be even more naive to assume that the Polish government did not understand the true purpose of this manoeuver and its consequences.”
Freda Utley wrote in 1945 after she visited destroyed Germany:
“War propaganda has obscured the true facts of history, otherwise Americans might realize that the German record is no more aggressive, if as aggressive, as that of the French, British and Dutch who conquered huge empires in Asia and Africa while the Germans stayed at home composing music, studying philosophy, and listening to their poets. Not so long ago the Germans were, in fact, among the most ‘peace-loving’ peoples of the world and might become so again, given a world in which it is possible to live in peace.”

Cloggie on Sun, 10th Dec 2017 8:10 pm
Wow Loose Hound, what took you so long?
Agree with most, except for this one:
“Thus WW2 was arranged by a complicity between Britain and Poland”
Chamberlain did NOT want war, neither did the French and certainly not the Germans. The fact that after September 3 and the British-French war declaration nothing happened for 8 months…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War
…is enough proof.
Eventually it was Churchill, in the pay of US jews, who got the war started in Norway by attempting to cut off iron ore supply from Narvik to Germany, which again forced.
Also I do not think that 55,000 Germans were killed by the Poles, certainly not before the war. But it is true that the Poles had begun to ethnically cleanse Germans from Versailles-Poland and that by September 1, 100,000 Germans had fled into Germany proper and more were to come. And THAT was what really triggered Hitler to invade, not this insane alllied acquisation that Germany wanted to “conquer the world”.

Anecdotal information comes from my family members who lived through this. While you may not “believe” 55.000 ethnic Germans were killed by Poles, then you need to read German archival records. if you have credible information to the contrary, then I want to review the information; however, a “belief” does not constitute compelling evidence.

MM, better review your history.
“…late on the twenty-sixth Chinese forces struck again on the Eighth Army�s right flank, with the goal of exploiting the collapse of the ROK II Corps while attempting to flank the entire Eighth Army from the east. Attacking heavily in the east and center sections of the UN line, the Chinese threw five field armies into the fight while sending another against the 24th Division to the west on a holding mission…The initial warning attacks and diplomatic hints by the Chinese were ignored by the overconfident Far Eastern Command under General MacArthur.”
https://history.army.mil/brochures/kw-chinter/chinter.htm
“The Korean War was a war between North Korea (with the support of China and the Soviet Union) and South Korea (with the principal support of the United States).”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War
Both have already recently indicated their support for North Korea if the US attacks. Do you doubt them? Theyv’e been there and done that already. Neither Russia or China want another American controlled country on their doorstep.

Some only use it for porn and fluff articles from the US MSM propaganda department, not for an exploration of the real world outside the US Iron Curtain. He has internet access so there is no excuse for his ignorance other than a narrow, brainwashed mind.
Maybe he doesn’t know that WW2 was fought mostly for resource control and $$$, not ideology. Just like the ME ‘wars’ of today. Oh, that’s right, he claims to have superior intelligence and some piece of paper agreeing with him so he ‘knows’. LMAO
