Forecast 2018 — What Could Go Wrong  |
| Markets
If you take your cues from Consensus Trance Central — the cable news networks, The New York Times, WashPost, and HuffPo — Trump is all that ails this foundering empire. Well, Trump and Russia, since the Golden Golem of Greatness is in league with Vladimir Putin to loot the world, or something like that.
Since I believe that the financial system is at the heart of today’s meta-question (What Could Go Wrong?), it would be perhaps more to the point to ask: what has held this matrix of rackeMonday, January 1, 2018 |

2017 Year in Review  |
| For your reading pleasure Mondays and Fridays
2017 was the kind of year when no amount of showers could wash off the feeling of existential yeccchhhhh that crept over you day after day like jungle rot. You needed to go through the carwash without your car… or maybe an acid bath would get the stink off. Cinematically, if 2016 was like The Eggplant That Ate Chicago, then 2017 was more like Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, a gruesome glimpse into the twisted soul of America. And by that I do not mean sFriday, December 22, 2017 |

What I Learned at the Racial Justice indoctrination Camp  |
| Several months ago the president of Loyola University Maryland, Brian Linnane, announced to the faculty that he had been thinking a lot about the Baltimore riots that took place two years earlier. (The riots, you may recall, were a response to the death of a local black drug gangster while in a police van after he had been arrested. All of the police involved, most of whom were black, were eventually acquitted at trial. The rioters looted the CVS pharmacies in town, emptying them of oxycodoneSunday, November 12, 2017 |

Ledbetter glided quickly over the period from 1914 to 1931, taking up the story again in earnest with the British devaluation of 1931 and, especially, the U.S. devaluation of 1933. This was treated with some interesting detail. However, Ledbetter made almost no mention of the fact that the U.S. returned to gold at the beginning of 1934 at $35/oz., andMonday, October 16, 2017 |

| The Dynamics of a Riot - Jeff Thomas |
| In my lifetime, I’ve had the misfortune of being present in two major
natural disasters and one violent social crisis. Each taught me
valuable lessons.
In the aftermath of a natural disaster, there’s the danger of the
loss of shelter, services and food. In most cases, people who experience
the loss of shelter and services realise that “things are bad all
around” and they tend to do the best they can, accepting that life will
be hard for a period of time.

| Within the US borders, the population remains largely ignorant of the true significance of the global currency reserve concept. It is of paramount importance, yet almost never discussed in the financial press. The public within the United States simply assumes the country operates with the USDollar as its currency, with near blindness to its global role in trade and banking. The end of an era is coming, as the change will be powerful in its effect. The shock wave could hit this year in some formFriday, July 14, 2017 |

| Researchers Discover That Social Media Posts Can Be Used To Predict Riots, Revolutions, And Even The Weather |
| Most of us don’t give much thought to what we post on social media, and a lot of what we see on social media is pretty innocuous. However, it only seems that way at first glance. The truth is that what we post online has a frightening potential. According to recent research from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Washington, the things we post on social media could be utilized by software to predict future events.

| Shock Footage: Protester Shot Dead On Live TV During Venezuelan Riots |
| We’ve repeatedly warned our readers that a collapse of life as we know it in America would quickly devolve into violence, looting and outright anarchy. As the economic landscape in America deteriorates it is likely only a matter of time before millions of starving Americans make their way to the streets in protest. When that happens they’ll be met with a heavily armed response. It’ll start with tear gas and rubber bullets, but that won’t be enough to stave off the starving and hopeless masses, sMonday, June 26, 2017 |

| Selling the Golden Goose - Jeff Thomas |
| Venezuela is a naturally rich nation. It's ranked seventh worldwide
for biodiversity and has the world's largest reserves of oil. This is a
country that deserves, more than most, to thrive. However, as in all
countries, it passes through economic cycles and, when on a downward
curve, would-be leaders take the opportunity to claim that the "greedy
rich" have sent the economy into a tailspin (which can sometimes be the
case) and that the solution is to adopt a collectivist approach to

| It is true that how you react to a situation will determine whether or not you achieve a successful outcome.
During an emergency, the strength and resolve of your mindset, and of your psychological state, will ultimately be the driving factor in whether you become a survivor or a victim. Your supplies and plans will be secondary to that. During a large scale breakdown, keeping calm under stress and resisting crowd forces to join into mayhem will be among the most valued traits.

The vehicle was developed by a Slovakian company called Bozena, and it looks like nothing you’ve ever seen deployed by any police department.
The vehicle is piloted from an armored cabin, and the cameras that are mounted on all sides allow the driver to see what’s going on. Not only does it have high pressure tear gas guns that can sprTuesday, March 28, 2017 |
