Why Choose Sides on Inflation/Deflation?
A very good assesment of our current economic outlook as of November 2025. A summary to wit:
The way to cut the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation – Vladimir Lenin
Private Sector. If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading – Lao Tzu
Misallocation of Capital. The two great aims of industrialism – replacement of people by technology and concentration of wealth into the hands of a small plutocracy – seem close to fulfillment – Wendell Berry
Globalism and China. Over recent years, urbanisation, globalisation, and the destruction of local cultures has led to a rise in the prevalence of mental illness in the developing world – Iain McGilchrist.
Deflation and Chaos. The way you create deflation is you create an asset bubble – Stanley Druckenmiller
Inflation – The Main Event. In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation – Alan Greenspan
Conclusion. The inflation comes through either increasing the money supply or increasing the government spending, and that’s what happened under Biden – Scott Bessent

The Untold Story of Carter’s Fateful Foreign Policy

Many of Washington’s dysfunctions—and dysfunctional players—got their start under the Georgian.
Hodding Carter, a journalist who served as State Department spokesman under Cyrus Vance... condemned Brzezinski as “a second-rate thinker in a field infested with poseurs and careerists [who] never let consistency get in the way of self-promotion or old theories impede new policy acrobatics.”
Insanity
In looking at the insanity going on around us, much can be explained by the spoiled nature of our society. Viktor Frankl, author of Man's Search for Meaning described in 1979 how that generation (mine in fact) were generally not challenged in life as earlier generations were (unlike his generation including himself who went through the holocaust and those who came out were stronger for it in many ways) and had everything handed to them resulting in a society of spoiled little brats. Now we are reaping what we sowed. It manifests itself most egregiously with a bunch of middle class kids who have no skills to survive in life (they think food comes from the grocery store!) and will starve if left to their own devices. Their entire reality is defined by the devices they hold in their hands. Then there are generations of black citizens whose grandparents once fought and died to achieve their rights but now sit back waiting for so called white supremacists to give them what they think they are entitled to. And then you have upper class virtue signalers who give to causes like black lives matters and antifa only to perpetuate class divisions so they can sip fine wine while the country burns outside of their gated communities.
The Real ‘Fake News’ Crisis
Everything you need to know about “fake news” happened on July 19, 2017. That was the day the media stopped in its tracks and turned like well-coiffed, bronzer-addicted lemmings to collectively hurtle themselves into the abyss of infotainment. It was a truly telling moment because they actually had to hit the pause button on the morphine drip of TrumpTV to carry the live feed of O.J. Simpson’s piddling parole hearing in a Nevada conference room.
Amazingly — or, perhaps, predictably — this utterly inconsequential event was carried by CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and ESPN. That’s right, this scandalous ghost of obsessions past received the same treatment as a spectacular terrorist attack or a deadly hurricane or a political assassination.
