Let’s You and Him Fight  (52)
Kerry -- a haircut in search of a brain -- good one Kunstler!

The Snapback  (20)
Even though I'd rather be dragged over a bed of hot burning coals, I have to admit that old Jim C. really nailed it this time. Kunstler must have emerged from a three-day drunk just before deadline to pen this rambling, semi-coherent screed. While I generally appreciate his insights, it is quite amazing that leftists and even old line leftists like Kunstler start foaming at the mouth whenever a Tea Party membe...

The Deep End of the Risk Pool  (19)
Jim C. continues his merciless rant against Kunstler for the unpardonable offense of voting for Obama who was running against the bellicose, crazed, foaming at the mouth warmonger, John McCain, who probably would have gotten us into a full blown nuclear exchange with Russia by now over that insignificant Caucasus backwater Georgia. Obama against the likes of McCain or Romney is a damned if you do and damned if ...

Limbaugh's 'Big Lie' Technique  (19)
What kind of a society listens to and enriches the pockets of an ill-educated, mediocre intellect the likes of Rush Limbaugh? Doesn't that send shivers down anybody's spines? What accomplishments can he claim to justify his radio pulpit? Has he served in the military or some intelligence agency? No. Has he ever studied anything at some institution of higher learning or foundation? No. Has he traveled exte...

Neo-Con War Addiction Threatens Our Future  (20)
Ron Paul is all too kind in his critique of that irritating little neocon twit, Bill Kristol. It seems as if no amount of flag draped coffins or wounded and maimed veterans returning from our endless wars satisfies the blood lust of Kristol and his ilk. Not surprisingly, neither Kristol nor most of his foaming at the mouth comrades have ever served a day of their lives wearing the uniform. But, of course, it'...

Raging Gold Bull Disputed Propaganda  (11)
Just when the overwhelming torrent of mainstream media propaganda threatens to sweep me into a zombified, catatonic mental state where I have delusions that Bernanke knows what he is doing and Krugman and Jim Craemer really know that they are talking about, good old Jim Willie pours a bucket of ice water over my head and I awaken to the shrieking horror of the reality of the global financial situation. Of cours...

Chris Ecclestone: Gold Will Fall, Time to Switch to Specialty Metals  (6)
Ecclestone is either blind or a moron -- probably both. Has Ecclestone even looked recently at the bad economic data coming out of Europe? Or the burgeoning political and banking scandals? He should stay underground checking on his lead and tungsten analyses. When it comes to economic trends above ground, he is clearly blinded by the light.

Going To the Movies  (20)
Q: What do Django Unchained, Zero Dark 30, Lincoln and the German gold deposit at the NY Fed all have in common?

A: They are all works of fiction.

On Obama's New National Security Team, Keep Your Eye on the Policy  (13)
In his last several posts, I was beginning to think that our old friend Jim C. was beginning to emerge from his dark place and rays of light were beginning to penetrate. Alas, Jim has fallen off the wagon and is once again throwing down shots of his toxic brew of jingoism, military adventurism and American interventionism in every hidden nook and cranny on the globe. What a shame that America's growing insolve...

Did he say "elections" in China? What a surprise, the Communists won!

The Case for $136,604/oz physical silver  (10)
Government regulatory and law enforcement agencies actually prosecuting illegal market manipulation? Not in my lifetime.

 Adam Hamilton - Zealllc
US Debt Crisis  (2)
This is an outstanding article which clearly outlines the catastrophic consequences of the wild out of control spending policies of the Obama administration which are highly likely to continue for the next four years. As Peter Schiff also points out, the so called "fiscal cliff" side show is merely a charade to divert the public's attention away from the "real cliff" -- the fiscal black hole of spiraling govern...

 Jim Willie CB - Hat Trick Letter
Immutable Gold Laws  (19)
Once again, Jim Willie rips aside the facade of propaganda and the fog of secrecy to expose our fraudulant financial system for the massive criminal ponzi scheme which it really is. No one comes closer to putting the pieces together than him. But I must admit I am amazed that the rigging and manipulation can continue unabated month after month and year after year. Just today, there was another huge takedown i...

KeithGram: The 'Crash JP Morgan'Campaign”  (17)
Right, Keith. We, the pathetic sheep of America, will meekly stand by and allow the reckless financial terrorists at JPMorgan's and other institutions gamble away their depositers and shareholders' savings. After all, after they engineer another financial crash, we taxpayers will gladly allow them to conduct another raid on the U.S. Treasury to bail them out once again. We have nothing better to do with that ...

The Tides of Event  (24)
Predictably, Jim C. hits all the usual sour notes in his weekly anti-Kunstler diatribe. How can anyone listen to Romney and not think of "Bozo?" Romney's bluster and constantly shifting positions have all the elements of a clown act, a John Wayne Gacy clown act at that. The only difference is the shrill warmongering Romney will send far more young men to their deaths than Gacy ever dreamed of. Jim C. exhibit...

Death Knells for the USDollar  (42)
OK, I take it all back. You are obviously not worth the price of gas to drive across town much less a plane ticket to confront in any way, shape or manner. You have no sense of humor and are obviously having a bad day. I hope things go better for you in the future. As far as I'm concerned, this is the end of it.

 Ron Paul
Interest Rates Are Prices  (39)
There is every reason to fear for the future of our Republic with Ron Paul retiring from Congress. His absence will leave an almost complete void of sanity and reason in the halls of the capitol. He will go down in history as a great prophet whose words of warning were ignored with disastrous results.

Death Knells for the USDollar  (42)
Well, it was a semi-facetious remark and Jim reacted in good humor. Jim has received far worse criticisms in these posts. I had no idea the post would drive some people over the edge. Speaking of misconceptions, you called me a "little twerp." I stand six-feet-two and weigh 235 pounds and lift weights frequently. If you would like to cast any more aspersions at me face to face, all I can say is "anytime, an...

Death Knells for the USDollar  (42)
In a world fouled by a fog of lies, damned lies, half-thruths, untruths and anything but the truth, evasions, distortions, contortions and concealments, I find Jim Willie to be a concentrated beacon of truth impossible to find in the mainstream media. I await his blogs desperately to restore my sanity with real and honest reporting on the Matrix of lies and disinformation around me. When some certain people tr...

Male Energies  (93)
The U.S. military itself has stripped the art of war of all manly attributes of heroism, bravery and sacrifice to craven, degenerate cowardice. Gradually, the battlefield is shifting from the brutal hazards of the battlefront to air conditioned, heavily guarded installations in the U.S. where souless and dispassionate botton men scan images on TV screens broadcast from pilotless drones to hurl their murderous h...

Elegy  (15)
Last fall while returning to the Midwest for my 50th class reunion, I also revisited that same area where I grew up during the 1950s and early 60s. I remembered that this was once a thriving industrial powerhouse whose mills and refineries provided tens of thousands of living wage jobs. It was never a scenic paradise but I remember it as a colorful fabric of Poles, Hungarians, Serbs and Croats who enjoyed full...
