Look Ye, Shipmates — He Breaches!

James Howard Kunstler
Like the white whale of legend surfacing close to the mainland, special counsel John Durham popped up this week with one Michael Sussman in his jaws, a smallish fish among the squamous and tentacled monsters hiding in the depths of the Deep State below the raging political seas. Who he, anyway? Among the now well-known cast of creatures involved in the panoramic episode of perfidious sedition known as RussiaGate, Mr. Sussman was a bit-player, ...

We Are Going To Have A Much Smaller Federal Government

Nathan Lewis
The original Federal government of the Constitution was framed on the principle of a limited government of “Enumerated Powers.” In other words, it would handle a short and definite list of responsibilities. All other functions of government would be th...

Ordeal by Narrative

James Howard Kunstler
Has doctor Anthony Fauci booked passage to Paraguay yet? Like, on a smallish container barge registered in Cote D’Ivoire, conveying a six months backlog of cars stolen out of Essex County, New Jersey, for detailing and re-sale way up that lazy river to Asunción? The captain has a comfortable guest cabin, price negotiable, but better bring your own food. The US Intel Community will not find the good doctor down there because they will not bothe...

Ponzi Schemes

Nathan Lewis
I have been arguing that a decline in population (“demographic collapse”) need not be a bad thing. If per-worker productivity remains high, or better yet rises considerably, then individuals and the society in general will remain wealthy and prosperous. The main issue, as I see it, is not the total population, but the increasing skew toward seniors that results when birthrates are low. Seniors have already become a very high percentage of the ...

Using the "Natural Interest Rate" In Setting Monetary Policy Is an Impossible Dream

Frank Shostak
"The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist."–John M. Keynes1 It is held by many commentators that the Fed’s monetary policy, which is aimed at achieving price ...

Can Economic Data Explain the Timing and Causes of Recessions?

Frank Shostak
Most economists are of the view that through the inspection of economic data it is possible to identify early warning signs regarding boom bust cycles. What is the rationale behind this way of thinking? During the 1930s the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) introduced the economic indicators approach to ascertain business cycles. A research team led by W.C. Mitchell and Arthur F. Burns studied about 487 economic data points in order ...

Then What…?

James Howard Kunstler
The strange demeanor of CNN’s news readers is telling us something: check out Erin Burnett in the seven o’clock time slot. No affect, like she is on drugs, in a kind of trance… or just going through the motions against her will. Same thing with Kate Bolduan, a sort of permanent half-scowl, as if she’s been told to carry out a detested chore, like cleaning the carpet where hubbie’s old dog had another “accident.” Is it, perhaps, that they just ...

The Game in Review

James Howard Kunstler
The upcoming twentieth anniversary of 9/11 is soon upon us and the horrifying videos are back in your face. Whatever way the twin towers came down — and, personally, I think those airplanes got’er done — the demolition provides a potent image for what is happening now: smoke billows out of the top floors, rather like a person with his hair on fire… and then each giant structure slumps into total collapse, sending shock-waves of toxic dust thro...

Demographic Collapse

Nathan Lewis
There’s a certain amount of hand-wringing these days about “demographic collapse,” or, declining population due to low fertility rates. Virtually the whole world these days has fertility rates below replacement rates of about 2.1 children per woman. Africa has been the exception; but fertility is plummeting there too, and may fall below 2.0 in not very many years. Concern has been particularly acute for the developed countries, including th...

We Don't Need a Central Bank to Deal with Changes in the "Demand for Money"

Frank Shostak
Historically, many different goods have been used as money. On this, Ludwig von Mises observed that, over time, . . . there would be an inevitable tendency for the less marketable of the series of goods used as media of exchange to be one by one rejected until at last only a single commodity remained, which was universally employed as a medium of exchange; in a word, money.1 Similarly, Murray Rothbard wrote in "What Has Government Done to Our ...

We are under attack

George F. Smith
Air Force veteran Brandie LaCasse told CBS News recently she is owed more than $23,000 in unpaid rent on three upstate New York properties but cannot force her tenants to pay or leave because of federal and state moratoriums on evictions.  She has become a homeless landlord, living at friends' homes and out of her car with her young daughter. “I've cried many nights, like thinking, 'Where's my money?'” the single mom said. “I don't understand ...

Coiling and Rattling

James Howard Kunstler
Actually, Progressive-Liberal abortion policy never went far enough. If only abortion were retroactive! We could send “Joe Biden” (and maybe all of Wokedom) back to the pre-embryonic cosmic darkness preceding conception? Otherwise, we’ll have to run him out of the Oval Office like some short-timer Guatemalan generalissimo, since he has completed the transition of the USA into a Third World backwater… and thus, served his purpose. Was that it, ...

Macroeconomic Data Is a Tool for Government Intervention

Frank Shostak
In a free, unhampered market, businesspersons in the pursuance of their goals will not require macroeconomic indicators. Entrepreneurs require an entirely different kind of data than what government data provides. Original Article: "Macroecono...

A Heedless Aftermath

James Howard Kunstler
For all the seeming power of the Deep State — a.k.a. the “Intel Community” — one really has to be impressed by its stupidity and desperation. It can’t keep secrets or cover its tracks. Anyone who was paying attention to the RussiaGate operation has seen the published evidence of all the lawless behavior it spawned and knows the names of all the players. Ditto, the effort to engineer the 2020 election and install an obviously senile puppet-stoo...

Martin and Johnson

Nathan Lewis
Today, we will add to our look into monetary policy in the 1960s, and a tendency toward deterioration that culminated in the effective abandonment of the Bretton Woods world gold standard system in 1971. Before, we looked at some statistical data, such as interest rates and open market gold prices. Now, we will take a more historical approach. “Money Printing” in the 1960s Series In particular, we will start with this paper from the Rich...

American Prestige Stranded in Afghanistan

Peter Schiff
In the 50 years since Richard Nixon officially severed the dollar’s link to gold, many have claimed that the greenback’s strength rests primarily on America’s unchallenged power and prestige around the world. As the situation in Afghanistan moves from embarrassment to tragedy, we are witnessing the rapid evaporation of the remnants of American prestige. These developments are likely to further decentralize the dollar’s role in global finance a...

Glide Path Low and Dark

James Howard Kunstler
It would only be cruel to burden readers with more opprobrious denunciation of the pathetic figure pretending to lead the nation, but it might be fair to ask: what is to be done about him? It’s looking a little bit as though “Joe Biden” is skidding toward resignation. His body language suggests defeat. When newsman Peter Doocy asked him Thursday evening on live TV about the thirteen American soldiers blown up outside the Kabul airport, he fold...

Macroeconomic Data Is a Tool for Government Intervention

Frank Shostak
It is common for commentators and economists to refer to something called the “economy,” which sometimes performs well and at other times poorly. The “economy” is presented as a living entity apart from individuals. For example, various experts report ...

Throwdowns and Showdowns

James Howard Kunstler
Notice, there are two sets of hostages in this phase of what looks like an engineered US collapse: the thousands of stranded Americans who can’t get out of Afghanistan thanks to the history-rockin’ ineptitude of “Joe Biden,” Tony Blinken, and General Mark Milley, and the millions of We-the-People back home whose minds are hostage to the narratives concocted in a shadowland of sinister governance. Welcome to a week of throwdowns and showdowns, ...

“To us, the CDC was less than irrelevant: it was nonexistent.”

George F. Smith
Since the arrival of Covid, too many doctors are deferring to the proclamations of the health agencies.They act as if all valid health and medical measures emanate from lofty bureaucracies.To Dr. Simone Gold this is a nightmare. She has written a book that’s dangerous to begin because it’s impossible to put down. I Do Not Consent: My Fight Against Medical Cancel Culture is a real-life, page-turning horror story that won’t let you go until the ...

Rising Interest Rates

Nathan Lewis
We’re building up a little narrative of the latter 1960s, the leadup to the demise of Bretton Woods in 1971. “Money Printing” in the 1960s Series Today, we will just look at interest rates of that time, as things were getting out of hand. Here is the monthly 10yr Treasury Yield. The yield was very low coming out of WWII, due to extreme risk-aversion. It rose a bit as the economy expanded, although the 1950s were actually quite dif...

The Heebie-Jeebies of August

James Howard Kunstler
“Joe Biden” will interrupt his moveable vacation — for now, back in Wilmington, DE — to speak to the nation early this (Friday) afternoon. Will he dig himself deeper into the hole that the Taliban tossed him in, or just throw in the towel on running the executive branch of the government (if that’s what he’s been doing)? Let’s face it: “Joe B’s” actual doings in the White House these seven months are as mysterious as last week’s blitzkrieg thr...

Memo to the vaccinated: Get off our backs!

George F. Smith
Regarding the current push to get everyone to take an experimental vaccine, there is only one consideration: Whose decision is it? I’ll answer that.  It’s yours.  It’s mine.  Do as you wish but don’t tell me what to do.   But the reality is quite different.  Our freedoms are becoming contingent on getting vaccinated, with our inalienable rights swept under the rug.  The unvaccinated are being demonized as a threat to the obedient.  Some even ...

“Money Printing” in the 1960s

Nathan Lewis
I was going to do something on the last years of Bretton Woods, involving William McChesney Martin at the Fed, and Presidents Johnson and Nixon. But, to do this properly would take some serious research, which I never got around to. So, today — the fif...

This Is How Savings and Investment Pave the Way for an Advanced Economy

Frank Shostak
To maintain his life and well-being, an individual must have at his disposal an adequate amount of consumer goods. These goods, however, are not readily available. Without tools at his disposal and by means of his bare hands, the individual can only ob...

Biden’s Housing Gambit

Peter Schiff
The “transitory” inflation swamping the country has stubbornly persisted into July. This week it was announced that producer prices posted a second straight 1% month-over-month increase, which brought the full year number to a record 7.8%. It was also ...

Brace for Impact

James Howard Kunstler
My Pillow man Mike Lindell’s three-day Cyber Symposium demonstrated a couple of things about the current depraved state of our nation: You could prove pretty conclusively that the national election of 2020 was saturated with fraud; and that no one in the news business would either care or dare to report it. Otherwise, it’s a little early to tell whether the exercise will have any effect on the country’s mood, though it is apparently a fact tha...

Danger, Cover Blowing

James Howard Kunstler
Of all the inane ideas shoved down the nation’s craw lo these years of the Covid-19 virus, “stop the spread” was surely the worst. For one thing, it was impossible, as in not going to happen no way, because the gift from Dr. Anthony Fauci

The Very Fine People of a Civilized Society

James Howard Kunstler
The very fine people of the Progressive Left believe many things: that men can be women (and mostly should be); that two plus two should equal how you feel, not the same darn thing every time; That “Joe Biden” is not just president but the greatest one since Barack Obama (and the 2020 election proved it). The very fine people on the Left don’t believe in a couple of things: reality and the law. This is getting to be a problem in what’s left of...
