What’s Collapsing Can’t Be Saved: Our Fraudulent Economy
Pulling the sleeve down to hide the tracks doesn’t mean the addict is cured.
Just for a change of pace, can we be bluntly honest about the U.S. economy? It’s difficult to do because we’ve chosen to ignore all the realities, much like a family that hides all the addictions, drunkenness and lies in a dysfunctional household to maintain the outward illusion of a happy functioning family.
It’s extraordinarily costly to maintain such a demanding masquerade. The psychological toll is immense, and the financial ruin that’s always threatening to collapse the flimsy facade feeds the most destructive coping strategies.
Please don’t claim that Daddy and Mommy aren’t really addicts, addicted to lies, cheating and stealing to fund their corruption and maintain the absurdly threadbare happy-story facade of normalcy.
Being honest is painful but freeing. Once all the ugliness is exposed to sunlight, then healing becomes possible. As long as reality is cloaked, hidden, explained away, etc., the destruction only deepens until complete collapse of the masquerade is the only possible outcome.
We’ve reached that point: we can no longer deny the U.S. economy is little more than a grab-bag of skims, scams, fraud and corruption. Even if Covid-19 vanished from the Earth tomorrow, or the entire economy opened tomorrow, the collapsing of the fraud bubble cannot be reversed, any more than the addict can be “cured” with some makeup to mask the devastation and clean clothing to hide all the tracks.
Let’s start with the most risible fraud: “value.” Every skim and scam claims to be “creating value” for shareholders, customers, the planet, etc. But it’s all fraud and lies. No value is being created; what’s really happening is entrenched insiders have established corrupt relationships that funnel income streams into their own pockets at the expense of everyone else, who must be kept in the dark about how the skim/scam actually works.
“Value” is now defined as private gains skimmed under the false claim of “value to customers.” Behind the bogus PR, product quality is ruthlessly slashed, quantity reductions are hidden by larger packaging, planned obsolescence is the Prime Directive of every corporation because all these frauds increase profits, which flow to an increasingly thin slice of America’s financial elites.
The entire stock market rally of the past 20 years is nothing but a gigantic fraud based on stock buybacks funded by debt. Stocks go up because the majority owners of the stock borrow money from a banking sector that gives nearly free money to financiers and corporations. The corporate insiders buy back shares with the borrowed money, and the company services the loan.
The company’s income is devoted to paying the debt taken on to boost the personal wealth of insiders. That’s fraud. Or if you prefer, embezzlement.
Take away the stock buyback scam and the U.S. stock market collapses. Take away a Federal Reserve devoted to lavishing nearly free money on financiers and corporations and the buyback scam collapses.
Consider WeWork, all the scooter start-ups, Netflix and Tesla. WeWork was a scam from the start, but there was so much money to be skimmed in selling the fraud to the public that everyone in Wall Street and the corporate media promoted the scam by refusing to look at the actual business.
The same dynamic fueled the absurd explosion of scooter start-ups, as if the business model could ever be profitable. No, the business could never be profitable, but unloading worthless shares in multiple rounds of venture capital was extremely profitable–for insiders.
As for Netflix and Tesla, the more money they lose, the more valuable they become. The key fraud here is “disruption.” If a company can be promoted as a “disruptor,” the sky’s the limit, Baby, because “disruptors”, well, disrupt, and presto-magico, somewhere down the road they become immensely profitable because, um, they disrupted something or other.
The greater the emotional pull of the scam, the easier it is to promote. Garsh, isn’t it wunnerful how a college degree guarantees a lifetime of high earnings and financial security. Except that isn’t guaranteed at all. What’s guaranteed is insiders are skimming fortunes in the higher education cartel and its fraudulent handmaiden, the student loan industry.
Then there’s sickcare, Corporate America’s rip-off skimming operation masquerading as “healthcare.” Caring has nothing to do with it; the driver is greed, maximizing profits by establishing corrupt relationships with politicos and regulators to insure staggering sums of federal monies are sluiced into sickcare’s insatiable maw.
National defense is another emotional cover for boondoggles and insider profiteering. We won World War II, doggonnit, so just ignore the $1,000 hammers and the $100 billion over-runs.
Every institution in America is little more than a cover for insider profiteering via skims, scams, rackets, fraud and embezzling schemes, all sanctified as “legal” via a thoroughly corrupted legal system and judiciary.
Debt-serfdom is packaged and sold as a “middle class lifestyle.” Political neutering, i.e. powerlessness, is sold as “party loyalty.” And so on, in an endless parade of skims and scams packaged and sold to cloak the ugly ascendancy of greed, fraud and lies.
We live in a constantly distorted house of mirrors devoted to maintaining useful illusions of “democracy,” “free markets” and other fairy tales we tell ourselves to reduce the pain of living a vast, all-encompassing fraud in which everyone who isn’t a grifting insider is the loser.
We don’t just have financial bubbles that are popping; we have bubbles in trust and credibility that are popping, too. All the lies, skims, scams, excuses, frauds, bezzles, artifices, profiteering, promotional schemes and rackets are unraveling, not because the virus shut down the economy but because the enormity of all the corruption, lies and fraud is now so great that the entire status quo is collapsing under its own weight.
Pulling the sleeve down to hide the tracks doesn’t mean the addict is cured. The illusion, the facade, the masquerading of normalcy, are no longer sustainable. The Monster Id can no longer be hidden, and simulacra no longer substitute for reality.
Trust, credibility, transparency and accountability have all been sacrificed for personal gain, at the expense of the stability of the entire system.
Once the system collapses, we all lose, even the insiders who have traded every shred of their soul for financial gains, at the expense of everything that was once held dear.

In an economic shutdown, life is cheap. Powermad politicians, unwilling to waste a crisis, seize the moment and turn chaos into a dictatorship. This is the current strategy of House of Rep speakeress Pelosi (who lies through her false teeth), horseface AOC, pencilneck Shiff and all the other crypto-Communists in and out of government. With the national debt now rocketing through $25 trillion, headed to infinity and beyond, there is no hope whatsoever that the debts incurred by the “war” on the ChiCom virus will ever be paid. In other words, America as a nation is bankrupting itself. Permanently.
Yes, the Sörös-like Davos oligarchs have taken advantage of the situation and greatly worsened it. But not without help from genosuicidists. White America sold its soul to the devil long ago with its religious, bloodthirsty fanaticism about equality, fratricidally massacring ~700,000 of its own flesh and blood in a Civil War to satisfy its madness. It subsequently repeated that psychopathy by murdering multiples of that number of kinsmen in Europe in two World Wars.
Satan is now about to collect his due. With the utter exhaustion of the American — and even the world — economy, all that is left is collapse. Or perhaps war. With nukes.
America the Beautiful.

“Pork Shortages To Strike America In Two Weeks”
https://tinyurl.com/y7xxg9ja zero hedge
“We have some troubling news developing deep inside America’s food supply chain network, suggesting rapid food inflation could be dead ahead. In the last several weeks, six major US meatpacking facilities have shuttered operations because of the coronavirus outbreak. That means 15% of America’s hog-slaughtering capacity has been shifted offline, and there is an additional risk that beef and poultry capacity could be reduced in the weeks ahead, reported Bloomberg. With every virus-related plant closure, farmers have been denied access to meatpacking facilities/slaughterhouses, resulting in herd overcapacity and suggests euthanizing hogs could be next. Dennis Smith, a senior account executive at Archer Financial Services, warned that “meat shortages” will occur “two weeks from now in the retail outlets.” That means by the first week of May, certain pork products could be out of stock at grocery stores across the country. “There is simply no spot pork available. The big box stores will get their needs met, and many others will not…If plant closures like these continue, it could add additional strain on the supply chain and cause “weird dislocations for prices — finished products are surging, while farmers are getting paid much less for animals,” Bloomberg notes.”

That’s only a little bit true. The prisons in the US are mainly populated by darkies and they didn’t volunteer to walk in, they were brought there by the police. But if there is a suspicion of a little bit excessive police violence, than indeed the political left in the US cries murder and mayhem and “racism”, to serve its political clientele.
“According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) in 2013 black males accounted for 37% of the total male prison population, white males 32%, and Hispanic males 22%”

“Cloggie/Abraham, I have been following and commenting on this board for about 7 years now. Your narrative on energy has not changed in all that time. You seem to have learned little from your time here. You perform too little arithmetic and appear to lack engineering knowledge.
Hydrogen has some promise as a short term energy storage mechanism if peak wind power is used to generate it and it is then burned in combined cycle gas turbines. Its overall efficiency will be around 30%. But the relatively low capital costs of the equipment involved means that it can still make sense, especially if you can recover process heat or if you can use it to generate high quality heat in niche industrial applications.
But it is no good for long term energy storage. It is a diffuse gas with a density of 88grams per cubic metre -it barely exists. You can store it at atmospheric pressure in a tank or bag. That is quite a cheap way of doing it, because it avoids the need for pressure vessels or cryogenic equipment. Try to pressurise hydrogen and you immediately need a pressure vessel, which is expensive for such a diffuse gas. The molecules are so small that differential pressure will cause them to seep through most metals. Liquefied hydrogen is unaffordable. You need to cool it to 20K and store it in austenitic stainless steel containers. Boiling losses from heat transfer into the vessel will cost you a lot of content very quickly. Insulating the tank is very challenging, given that air liquids on contact with it.
So there you have it. You need to understand the technology before you can talk intelligently about what options are available.”

Antius is fighting a rear-guard fight to promote his nuclear hobby horse. While I have no doubt that the British could copy the French and build a national power system based on nuclear, it comes simply too late. And it is too expensive. And too dangerous. And uranium is running out. And nuclear is absolutely no solution for the third world, where solar and hydrogen is. Perhaps that some day Antius his grandson will come up with a design for a thorium reactor, so we can tear down all these tens of thousands of wind turbines from the North Sea, but for the moment renewable energy it is going to be, since it has won the public relations battle for the hearts and minds all over the world and that is what really matters. The actions from a MAGA fossil are completely irrelevant in that.
When it comes to innovation, USA = Ukraine + reserve currency + nukes + darkies.
Completely irrelevant for the transition. No worries, we’ll teach you how to do it, after the break.

“The point is to optimize the conversion of renewable electricity into hydrogen. It has already been shown that you can electrolyse steam at an efficiency of 85%. In Rotterdam they are now scaling that up from the laboratory into a real plant:”
It may be trying to scaling up to a real plant but at what cost and will that scale up to a greater economy? Is there time for it to scale up to a continental sized economy or a global one? You are pissing in the wind especially now that the global economy may have stepped down with 30% output drop from globalism1 to globalism2. Renewable hydrogen will have niche applications. I am excited about it but not unrealistic with fantasy like you. You still have not scaled up renewables to primary power transition let alone electricity. You tend to get the horse in front of the cart with speculation and pretend things have materialized when they have not.

“Most here are collapseniks and don’t believe that a renewable energy base could ever work, an opinion based on no engineering background whatsoever.”
As opposed to a techno optimism with no financial and economic background. Your engineering background is limited. You think you are an energy engineer or something when all you do is sit on your nuts and speculate 20/7 and much of that is racist and Anglo derangement. You think way too highly of yourself.
“To get a grasp of what is happening in Europe at the moment, as well to appreciate the deep level of cooperation between EU/governments and the European industry, have a look at the annual report 2019 of Hydrogen Europe, the umbrella organisation of the coming European hydrogen economy”
Europe is locked in fantasy about their energy future. The whole project was stalling even before the pandemic induced hit to global output. Globalism was already in decline and it is that force that would surely be needed for an effective energy transition. That transition dream is likely dead now but you will not bury it no matter how bad the news. You are the lipstick queen
“All the big names are present (p2), like: Shell, Audi, Airbus, Alstom, Bosch, BP, Daimler, EDF, etc., etc. with a combined high-end scientific and engineering brain power that dwarfs all the self-styled collapsenik “experts” here, very opinionated, backed by no serious formal education.”
Big names in economic turmoil is what I see. LOL. The cloggo’s mind is so warped with dreams he can’t fathom how his reality has just changed. He is forum famous for putting lipstick on any event no matter how bad.

But but the cloggo said Iran was taking over the ME:
“Iran’s Ayatollahs Will Struggle To Survive The Oil Slump”
https://tinyurl.com/yc3xe54n gatestone institute
“At a time when Iran’s Islamic regime is already facing unprecedented pressure over its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, as well as its disastrous handling of the economy, the global slump in oil prices could well prove to be the final straw for the ayatollahs…According to recent estimates by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Iran needs global oil prices to reach the highly unlikely benchmark of $195 a barrel just in order to meet its budget requirements for 2020. With current predictions suggesting oil prices are likely to remain around the $19 a barrel mark, the ayatollahs are facing the prospect of an economic Armageddon: the oil slump means there is little prospect of a revival in the country’s economic fortunes for the foreseeable future. With inflation running at 35%, and the country facing widespread unemployment, the ayatollahs have become increasingly dependent on the country’s oil revenues to keep the economy functioning. Their ability to generate revenue from oil sales, though, has already been severely affected by the impact of US sanctions, with Iranian oil exports declining from their pre-sanctions level of two million barrels of oil per day to around 300,000 — a decline of more than 80%. Now, following this week’s slump, even that modest amount is under threat. The scale of Iran’s deepening economic crisis is reflected in the regime’s recent decision to seek $5 billion in emergency funding from the IMF, its first request for outside help since the 1979 revolution.”

libs are brainy but they’re creepy. just watch doc by whitey supertard michael moore and you see. behind the softness and cuddly tone of NPR, you can see the seething anger and the instinctivly mandated program of cill (control or kill) which culminates in blaming repugs. the whole libs in that movie look fit for a ride to comet haley in heaven gates …just pay attntio
why are libs so evil? they’re attack dogs for Big Sis and so are muzzies. if you see Big Bro floating on his 2 wheel rig on the highway and you see Big Sis behind on the same rig, you know Bis Sis is controlling that Big Bro.

libs are soft and cudly but sport a big stick. they like to convey their message in NPR tone, who wouldn’t like to be swayed by soft NPR tone? why is this? it’s the same MO used by Big Sis
who else is soft and cudly? muzies
For example, muzzie al baghdadi and soleimani are soft and cudly.
That’s why we all love soft and cudly muzies. our US navy spend 98% of budget toward proper burial of muzzies at sea according to muzzie, but they’re not muzzies (nevermidn muzzie has PhD in muzzying)
mind blown
