Kuntler: “Good Trouble” and Not-Good Trouble
And so, the party of the Resistance has completed its solemn four day confab of info-ceremonials and sent forth its Primero Ingenioso Hidalgo, Joe Biden, on his limping horse of platitudes, armored by news media hosannahs, a saintly woman-of-color at his side to assist, tilting onward with his lance of moral instruction to bring love, hope and light to a world darkened by the shadow of MAGA-Diablo, Trump-the-Terrible. Plus, Joe promised to stop Covid-19 and cure cancer.
The convention organizers contrived a schedule Thursday night that did not put Mr. Biden before the cameras until eleven o’clock, preceded by a cavalcade of his former primary election rivals and family members pouring on soporific encomiums to a tinkly-treacly musical sound-track — aiming, apparently, to lull as many viewers as possible to sleep before the speech. But finally, the candidate appeared out of the studio mists, and acquitted himself ably reading from the jumbotron teleprompter, while his handlers cringed off-stage in little pools of flop-sweat.
The speech itself was wholly an invocation of righteousness in opposition to the manifest evil as represented by the current occupant of the White House. The question is: how many voters actually believe that when the party of the Resistance tacitly supports mobs looting, shooting, and burning across the land? Earlier that day, the Terrible Trump sallied forth diabolically to Joe Biden’s place of birth, Scranton, PA, where he inveighed against “the crazy people on the other side.”
He had a point. The Democrats are crazy people with a mostly crazy policy program — which a large number of non-crazy Americans actually see for what it is: the drive to run America on sheer coercion, pitting the supposedly under-privileged against the supposedly over-privileged, telling everybody what to think and punishing all non-correct thinkers. The catch is that life in this country has gotten a whole lot harder for everybody economically and, before long, matters may turn quite desperate. So, will the months and years just ahead become a fight over the table-scraps of the bygone 20th century banquet, with dreadful racialist overtones, mobs rioting and battling in the streets?
The Democrats have not called off their war-dogs and really everybody is aware of that. Antifa rioters have insulted the public order for eighty-some nights in Portland, Oregon, while the Democratic mayor, Ted Wheeler, and the Democratic governor, Kate Brown, do absolutely nothing to stop it. Similar campaigns against civil order are run by Democratic mayors Lori Lightfoot in Chicago and Bill deBlasio in New York City to the degree that these places may never return to the old normal. Mayor Jacob Frey allowed “social justice” mobs to burn down Minneapolis, leading the city council to logically propose abolishing the city’s police force. The Democratic regime in California uses hordes of the mentally ill homeless to prod its productive citizens to flee the state. Baltimore, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Richmond, Louisville — all yield to Democratic Party inspired violence and anarchy.
For Mr. Biden, the party’s Don Quixote, and his sidekick Kamala Harris, yesterday with all its infomercial glitz will be the apogee of the campaign. Antifa is promising a big Saturday night of “good trouble” in Portland to end the week. The NFAC black paramilitary gang is promising a show of armed “resistance” at the Louisville racetrack on the rescheduled Sept.5 Kentucky Derby day. Last time the group came out, in late July, they accidently shot three of their own troops. Just a week before the Democratic Convention, looters on Chicago’s ritzy Michigan Avenue announced that their robberies should be written off as “reparations” for slavery. Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris haven’t said a word about any of it. The voters are not supposed to notice, or care.
Personally, I don’t see how this amounts to a winning election strategy. And the Democrats themselves may not either. Rather, their aim may be to generate as much disorder as possible from the election process itself to paralyze governing the USA at every level and paint Mr. Trump as Hobgoblin-in-chief in order to keep their hustle going: the mau-mauing of America. It’s a really dumb and reckless game and it will bring on a whole lot of not-good trouble for a country reeling into full-blown economic collapse.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-decoupling/trump-says-could-decouple-and-not-do-business-with-china-idUSKBN25I0S7?il=0
“WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump, in a Fox News interview airing Sunday, raised the possibility of decoupling the U.S. economy from China, a major purchaser of U.S. goods. In a video excerpt, Trump initially told interviewer Steve Hilton “we don’t have to” do business with China, and then later said about decoupling: “Well it’s something that if they don’t treat us right I would certainly, I would certainly do that.” Trump entered into a high-stakes trade war with China before reaching a partial Phase 1 trade deal in January. Trump has since shut the door on Phase 2 negotiations, saying he was unhappy with Beijing’s handling of the pandemic. In June U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said a decoupling of the U.S. and Chinese economies will result if U.S. companies are not allowed to compete on a fair and level basis in China’s economy.”

Meet ‘Mayhem,’ the USAF’s multi-role hypersonic weapon
The new missile would be an air-breathing system – unlike the boost-glide ARRW – but would still use a solid rocket booster to accelerate to hypersonic speed. The air force said the technology will build on efforts in the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept, or HAWC, a joint program with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), as well as the High-Speed Strike Weapon (HSSW) program. USAF acquisition executive Will Roper said the new missile would be pursued with rapid prototyping, as the ARRW and Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW) were, Air Force Magazine reported. The air force dropped HCSW from its hypersonic plans in January, opting to devote its efforts to ARRW. Roper said at the time that he was impressed with the level of maturity of scramjet designs and he had previously expected them to come later than boost-glide. “I’m delighted to say that I was wrong,” Roper said. “Scramjet is much more mature and ready to go than I originally thought.”

China Investors Predict Record Defaults in Risky End to 2020
China’s fragile economic recovery is ushering in a dangerous new phase for the nation’s $4.1 trillion corporate bond market. With the economy now strong enough for policy makers to dial back financial support but still too weak to save the most distressed borrowers, some fund managers are bracing for defaults on domestic Chinese debt to hit record highs this year. Delinquencies have already started rising after a remarkably quiet second quarter, and pressure on borrowers is set to grow as 3.65 trillion yuan ($529 billion) of notes mature by year-end. While few see a crisis in the offing, debt specialists at SC Lowy and Adamas Asset Management are becoming more selective in China, arguing that the government-induced calm in local credit markets is unlikely to last. Analysts say non-state companies, lower-rated developers and some local government financing vehicles are particularly vulnerable as borrowing costs climb and refinancing becomes more difficult. “The government has neither the firepower nor the will to backstop it all,” said Brock Silvers, chief investment officer at Adamas Asset Management in Hong Kong, adding that he expects onshore defaults in China to reach a new annual record. That would mean another 72.2 billion yuan of delinquencies by the end of December, according to data compiled Bloomberg.

Gabbard says she ‘was not invited to participate in any way’ in Democratic convention
Gabbard says she ‘was not invited to participate in any way’ in Democratic convention Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) confirmed Thursday evening that she was not invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention after she did not appear in any programming for the event this week. “You’re correct – I was not invited to participate in any way,” Gabbard tweeted in response to a post noting her absence from the four-day confab. You’re correct – I was not invited to participate in any way. https://t.co/zQBOQB8Zw7 — Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) August 20, 2020 Gabbard, who ran for president before ultimately suspending her campaign, was one of seven contenders who earned delegates during the primary, though she was the only one not offered a speaking slot. The Democratic National Committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill. The convention has faced criticism over its speaker list, with entrepreneur Andrew Yang, another former presidential contender, initially not appearing in the lineup either. He was later given a speaking role near the top of Thursday’s activities.

“WFP Requests $5 Billion In Emergency Funds To Prevent ‘Famine Of Biblical Proportions”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/wfp-needs-5-billion-prevent-famine-biblical-proportions
“All the data we have, including WFP’s forecast of an 80% increase in the number of food-insecure people – from 140 million before the pandemic to 270 million by the end of this year – points to a real catastrophe, a famine of biblical proportions, “he said. The dramatic rise in the number of people who don’t have the means to feed themselves because of depressionary unemployment, supply chain breakdowns, and crop failures is set to cause long-term economic damage that could prevent a vibrant economic recovery. Beasley said, “it is clear that social tensions will escalate, migration will increase, conflicts will expand, and hunger can affect those who have not experienced it before… He added: “WFP’s mission is to provide food to 138 million people in 2020, the largest humanitarian operation in history. And this unprecedented crisis requires an incredible amount of money.” In a separate food insecurity report from June, the UN secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, warned the world is on the brink of the worst food crisis ever witnessed in the post-World War II era. All of this makes you wonder if the famine warnings are just hype or if the virus-induced downturn has really sent the world into years of crisis.”

“Solar Panels Are Starting to Die, Leaving Behind Toxic Trash”
https://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2020/08/22/solar-panels-are-starting-to-die-leaving-behind-toxic-trash/
“SNIP: Solar panels are … complex pieces of technology that become big, bulky sheets of electronic waste at the end of their lives—and right now, most of the world doesn’t have a plan for dealing with that. But we’ll need to develop one soon, because the solar e-waste glut is coming. By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency projects that up to 78 million metric tons of solar panels will have reached the end of their life, and that the world will be generating about 6 million metric tons of new solar e-waste annually. While the latter number is a small fraction of the total e-waste humanity produces each year, standard electronics recycling methods don’t cut it for solar panels. Recovering the most valuable materials from one, including silver and silicon, requires bespoke recycling solutions. And if we fail to develop those solutions along with policies that support their widespread adoption, we already know what will happen. Solar panels are composed of photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight to electricity. When these panels enter landfills, valuable resources go to waste. And because solar panels contain toxic materials like lead that can leach out as they break down, landfilling also creates new environmental hazards…Recyclers often take off the panel’s frame and its junction box to recover the aluminum and copper, then shred the rest of the module, including the glass, polymers, and silicon cells, which get coated in a silver electrode and soldered using tin and lead. (Because the vast majority of that mixture by weight is glass, the resultant product is considered an impure, crushed glass.) Tao and his colleagues estimate that a recycler taking apart a standard 60-cell silicon panel can get about $3 for the recovered aluminum, copper, and glass. Vanderhoof, meanwhile, says that the cost of recycling that panel in the US is between $12 and $25—after transportation costs, which “oftentimes equal the cost to recycle.” At the same time, in states that allow it, it typically costs less than a dollar to dump a solar panel in a solid-waste landfill.”

“The Anatomy Of A Financial Crisis (& Why We Should All Worry About European Banks)”
https://gnseconomics.com/2020/08/24/the-anatomy-of-a-financial-crisis/
“In this blog, we present the anatomy of a financial crisis. A characteristic feature of a banking crisis is that it tends to follow, more-or-less, the same path regardless of the ‘shock’ or ‘trigger’ that initiates it. The next phase of the crisis is likely to be a global financial crisis, as we have been anticipating for quite some time (see, e.g., Q-Review 4/2017). However, few understand what a financial crisis is, though it is probably among the most feared economic phenomena of mankind…In the case of a global financial crisis we therefore have to be prepared for: Collapse of asset markets. Collapse in global availability of credit and banking services. Collapse in global demand. Collapse of global freight. In the worst case, the collapse of the global financial system (a global “systemic crisis”)… The coming crisis The European banking crisis has been brewing for some time. It is also likely to go global, as Europe holds the largest concentration of global, systemically important banks (G-SIBs). Italy and Spain, but also Germany (Deutsche Bank), are the countries to keep a close eye on. Return on Equity (RoE) of the European banks has been dismal since the GFC. First, the toxic assets, like CDOs, were allowed to remain and compromise the balance sheets of European banks after the GFC. Secondly, the misguided policies of the ECB (OMT, negative interest rates and QE) led to the deterioration of the profitability of the European banking sector…There is practically no way that the Italian and—likely—Spanish banks can remain standing against the hurricane-force of these accumulated economic losses. The onset of a European banking crisis is close, and it should worry us all.”

In reality there is only one entity going to collapse and that is his US-ofA, for ethnic reasons, as well as for delaying the inevitable renewable energy transition, by peddling opinions from Maddie Stone(d).
Solar panels aren’t “dying” at all:

My 6 panels on my roof will provide me with mostly electricity for 30 years, if I live that long. They will have been paid off in 4 years, after they already have been paid-off for more than 50% for the 5 years I already have them (2020 is going to be a record yield year btw). They weigh 6 x 30 kg, mostly plate material, that only serve as a support structure for the thin active silicon cells. The are working now on thin film solar, a few nano-meter thick active layer on plastic foil. Making all worrying about recycling of solar panels superfluous:

“Amid California’s heatwaves and fires, ‘world’s largest’ battery project is being switched on”
https://www.energy-storage.news/news/amid-californias-heatwaves-and-fires-worlds-largest-battery-project-is-bein
“Gateway is 230MW / 230MWh. In other words, it can discharge for one hour at 230 megawatts power. And that is phase 1. We are already expanding it to ~3 hours discharge capacity for next summer, then eventually its full capacity of 4 hours after that,” the representative said…LS Power announced yesterday that Gateway Energy Storage, in East Otay Mesa in the southern part of San Diego, is at 230MW of lithium-ion batteries but is on track to be up to 250MW in output size by the end of August…and SCE awarded 770MW of battery contracts to help replace ageing natural gas plants. These developments seemingly cannot come soon enough for California, which is suffering at the moment from heatwaves, storms, wildfires and power shortages at times of peak demand on its networks. Industry figures have called for the rapid deployment of battery storage, particularly storage charged from solar, to help remedy the situation from an energy supply and resilience perspective.”

LMFAO “superfluous” cloggo forgets about transport and labor but also the whole manufacturing process. 6 pannels barely do shit BTW and pannels are just a little bit of the mix that makes energy. I have 12 and batteries and inverter. The cloggo just is a grid tied weenie. My point to the intelligence handicapped, cloggo, is energy is not free. A Kw is not a KW when put into the real world. You are a delusional tech guy with little economic understanding and completely emotional about all those dangers that lurk in your twisted mind.

What a crock of shit from the woksters and their saftyism. Lets use segregations to fight racism and segregation. This is madness of the Dumbcan Idaho crowd:
“New York University moves to implement racial segregation in student dorms”
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/08/24/nyur-a24.html
Since then, the university has officially given the project a green light, aiming to have NYU’s first segregated residential floor established by Fall 2021. A little over two months ago, a recently organized advocacy group called Black Violets created an online petition demanding that the university “implement Black student housing on campus in the vein of themed engagement floors across first-year and upperclassmen residence halls.” In its petition, the group argues that “Too often in the classroom and in residential life, black students bear the brunt of educating their uninformed peers about racism.” African American students, the group states, desperately require a “safe space” where they can escape from students, staff and faculty of other races.

“1 In 3 Cars Worldwide Is Produced In China”
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/1-3-cars-worldwide-produced-china
“Almost one in three – or 32 percent – of all cars produced worldwide in 2019 came out of China.
India exhibited one of the biggest increases – almost 15 percent in five years to 3.6 million cars annually. The biggest decrease in production hit the ailing U.S. car industry, which lost 40 percent of its domestic production between 2014 and 2019.“

“With European economies mired in recession, is the euro living on borrowed time?”
https://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3098555/european-economies-mired-recession-euro-living-borrowed-time
“Europe’s monetary pacesetter, the European Central Bank, seems to be fighting a losing battle, struggling to keep the European economy from slipping into a deeper recession. The more policy stimulus the ECB throws into the ring, the greater the damage to its monetary reputation, and to little avail so far. Despite close to 3 trillion euros of assets purchased so far under the ECB’s quantitative easing programme and interest rates steeped in negative territory, the economy of Europe is showing precious few signs of a return to normality…Europe’s three biggest economies, Germany, France and Italy, are all stuck in recession with little chance of output reaching pre-pandemic levels until 2022. Rumblings about throwing too much good money after bad are no surprise. The ECB’s defence is that it has no alternative, otherwise Europe might suffer an even worse fate. Germany has given up the ghost on trying to control the ECB’s monetary excesses. There seems to be a palpable sense of “if you can’t beat them, join them” for the sake of presenting a united front and avoiding a damaging public row…The worry for markets is that the triple-A-rated ECB’s vaults are bursting with a surfeit of lower-quality debt from nations like Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Ireland, countries which have required support in times of market stress in the aftermath of the 2008 crash. Like in the US subprime crisis, it’s fine while the charade lasts, but once confidence begins to wobble, that is where the danger lies. It’s a bit like the tale of the emperor’s new clothes – once someone calls attention to the reality, the pyramid of risk starts to implode. Jobless struggle to make ends meet in Hong Kong as city battles coronavirus and recession Whether it will come from a constitutional reckoning in Germany or a credit doom loop from a heavily indebted country like Italy remains to be seen. A small economy like Greece almost brought the euro to its knees in 2012, so a bigger country could easily push the currency, the ECB and the euro zone past the point of no return.”

LMFAO, juanPPee, cars are the wrong industry to be the biggest in anymore. They are going to crash just like the BRI is the wrong push in a collapsing globalism. You are an emotional wreck juanPPee.

The usual self-congratulating and name-calling, but no arguments.
Because he doesn’t have any.
Bluster from an uneducated goat-farming Yank, who knows he is on the way out, but doesn’t want to have that to be true.
Somehow I find it difficult to feel sorry for him.
