Ranging from the most expensive stock market ever to the dis-similarity in the economic situations
facing Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan; and from the excess liquidity driving the price oil to
the extraordinarily dangerous
growth of credit (debt) relative to GDP, Raoul Pal's Real Vision has
expanded its exceptional services into
investment research by publishing the "killer
charts" that every market participant should comprehend in
the first quarter of 2017...

The
political establishment has tricked itself into believing in the same illusion
it’s been promoting to voters, that it’s possible to stave off, for a number of
years, a deeper crisis, depression, by borrowing and printing ‘money’. But in the end
no amount of fake or false news on the economic front will allow you to
continue the facade for too long, because people know when they
can’t afford things anymore.
…
For many people, Obama, Merkel,
Cameron and the EU cabal have been disasters. For too many, as we now know. That
doesn’t mean that Trump will fix the economic problems, but that’s not the
issue. People have voted for anything but more of the same.
But in the end no amount of fake
or false news on the economic front will allow you to continue the facade for
too long, because people know when they can’t afford things anymore. The
evidence here is somewhat more direct than with regards to political fake news,
though they may well both follow the same pattern of ‘discovery’.
Our societies are still run as if there is no real crisis,
as if it’s all just a temporary glitch, as if the incumbent models function
just fine, and as if recovery is just around the corner. And we can make it
look as if that is true, but only for an ever smaller amount of time, and for
an ever smaller amount of people.
The basic issue here is not a
political one. It’s economic. Our economic systems have failed, and they can’t
be repaired. We should always have realized that no growth is forever, but at
least we now know. Or could know, it’ll take a while to sink in.
Next up is a redo and revamp of those economic systems, but
that is not going to be easy, and may not get done at all. The resistance may
be too strong, warfare -economic or physical- may seem like a way out, there
are many unknowns. We could, ironically, get quite far in that redo if we
simply cut all the waste for our economic processes, but then again, that would
have us find out that much of the system runs entirely on wasting stuff, and
wasting less kills the system.
However that may be, and however it may turn out, this is
where we find ourselves. Protesting Trump and
Brexit is inevitable, but it doesn’t address any core issues. From a purely
economic point of view, Obama failed spectacularly, as did David Cameron, as
does Angela Merkel. And as do, we will find out in 2017, many other incumbent
‘leaders’.
Summarized: for most people, 2017
will be the year of the inability to understand where their favorite worldview
flew off the rails. Change can be a bitch. But change is needed to keep life
alive.

and then clean ultra-war-mongers inside GOP and indict H Clinton (Libya’mail scandal).
If the Zionist VP want to continue nuke-war mongerism .. then assassination is
the last option. ]]

In his
first full interview of the new year, Donald Trump told the WSJ he would be
open to lifting sanctions on Russia and wasn’t committed to a longstanding
agreement with China over Taiwan, suggesting he would use any available
leverage to realign the U.S.’s relationship with its two biggest global
strategic rivals.

Krugman: Nasty accommodation or real mental illness..
It appears The New York Times' flip-flopping,
hate-mongering, fact-twisting, Keynesian poster-boy Paul Krugman is
not coping well with hearing

stability, which is ironic given how he began yesterday...

Posted on January 14, 2017 by WashingtonsBlog
Until now, getting
into the news and reports about Russia and Trump meant getting into some
rather dense weeds (PDF of declassified report here), but with the recent release by Buzzfeed of
the full 35-page dossier on
Trump and Russia (the explosive one, with the women peeing on Obama’s former
hotel room bed), which was distilled into a two-page appendix in the classified
version of the report, the road to clarity just presented itself.
So I offer the text
of three tweets (mine), a longer discussion of those main points, and comments
by Glenn Greenwald on the latest Trump-Russia-intel community contretemps.
Everything else, as I now see it, is detail, a gloss on these three points.
First, the tweets, a bullet-point capsule of all the
main points up to now: OPEN http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2017/01/whos-blackmailing-president-why-arent.html#greenwaldtrumpcia
This hits, I think,
the main elements to watch in tightly compressed form. Read on for the long
version of these three points. Click here to jump ahead to Greenwald’s take on
all this.
Blackmailing the U.S. President
As I said above,
there only three elements to “get” this story. First, there’s
the blackmail element. According to the 35-page dossier, Russia (supposedly)
prepared blackmail material on Trump but isn’t using it.

By Eric Zuesse, originally posted at strategic-culture.org
It’s true not just
because of the sad realities such as that “Top
Ex-White House Economist Admits 94% Of All New Jobs Under Obama Were
Part-Time” — or, as the economists Alan Krueger and Lawrence Katz wrote in
the original of that study: “94 percent of the
net employment growth in the U.S. economy from 2005 to 2015 appears to have
occurred in alternative work arrangements.” (“Alternative work arrangements”
referred there to Americans who were involuntarily working only part-time jobs
— they simply couldn’t find full-time, though that’s what they wanted.)
In other words: Obama’s failure isn’t just because of America’s
increasingly sales-clerk, and burger-flipping, workforce.
And Obama’s failure
is also not just because “Poverty
Rose In 96% Of U.S. House Districts, During Obama’s Presidency”. (However,
that reality turned out to be decisive in Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald
Trump on November 8th, as Nate Cohn pointed out in The New York Times on
December 23rd, headlining, “How
the Obama Coalition Crumbled, Leaving an Opening for Trump”. Hillary
was running on Obama’s poor record.)
Obama’s failure is also because of other important reasons.
Among them is the uncounted thousands of people who were killed in, and the
uncounted millions of people who became refugees from, the places where
Obama (or else his installed regimes) bombed
and caused the residents to either die or flee. George W. Bush’s
destructions of Iraq and even Afghanistan were now being followed by the
destructions of Libya by Obama and Sarkozy, and of Syria by Obama and Saud and
Thani and Erdogan, who armed the tens of thousands of jihadists and sent them
into Syria to overthrow and replace Assad — and Bush’s destructions were
followed also by Obama’s keeping in power
the barbaric
junta-regime that replaced the democratically elected Honduran President Manuel
Zelaya on 28 June 2009 shortly after Obama entered the White House (and
this junta-regime, in turn, caused Honduras’s murder-rate to soar 50% to become
the world’s highest, which then caused hundreds of thousands of Hondurans to
flee and become undocumented U.S. immigrants, against which Donald Trump
campaigned).
The Obama regime has thus created far more misery outside
America, than inside it. Failures such as those didn’t cost Hillary
Clinton many (if any) votes (because most voters didn’t even know about these
foreign-affairs matters), but those failures were actually even bigger than
Obama’s failures in purely domestic U.S. policy matters (which voters do know
about). Trump campaigned against ‘illegal immigrants’, but he never even called
attention to those people’s fleeing the hells that the U.S. regime had created
in not only Honduras but earlier in Guatemala and El Salvador — coups and
U.S.-trained death squads.
