I haven’t been shy about warning the dollar is doomed. The long run is fast approaching, but that doesn’t mean it will arrive tomorrow. It could, but it probably won’t. We have seen a powerful dollar rally over the last year and many people believe it will continue. I think they’re wrong. We’ve declared war on work
A speech by Mike Rowe of the TV show “Dirty jobs”. If you can get passed the first few minutes of disturbing imagery he makes an interesting point. The Housing Collapse of 2009 May Be Worse Than 2008
The true history of the Arab-Israeli conflict
The origins of this problem are found in the aftermath of WW1. This remarkable video from Mark Bruzonsky is over 15 years old, but you wouldn’t have known it if I didn’t tell you. It’s incredible how little has changed. There are actually experts in the world, sometimes. Amer-Israeli empire strikes back
I have stood silent for too long. Ask any Israeli supporter, “who started the 1967 war?” and they will answer, Egypt. The Nasser government imposed a blockade of Israel’s southern Red Sea port which they considered an act of war; Israel responded with a massive air and ground assault, capturing Gaza and the Sinai from Egypt, the Golan heights from Syria and the West Bank from Jordan. More than 40 years ago, the occupation of Palestine began. For many decades there was practically no violent resistance: no Hamas, no rockets, no suicide bombers. So much for Gandhi, the global community did nothing to restrain Israel as it tightened the noose and continued to expand settlements. Before this latest conflict, Israel imposed a near total blockade of the entire Gaza strip, yet none of those same people who declared Nasser’s actions an act of war in 1967 are honest enough to also call Israel’s actions more recently an act of war. They still maintain Hamas began this conflict, as if the occupation began last week, bull shit. Who won WW2?
I’ve been listening to The Tarp Song all afternoon and it reminded me of these clips with Peter Schiff and Stephen Leeb arguing about an auto sector bailout. Can you discredit doomsday?
This week I had a short discussion with a family friend who happens to be a financial advisor. He was asked for his take on the whole financial mess, below is a summary of what transpired. Keep in mind he has been in the business for a long time and is very mainstream. There isn’t a single original bone in his body, he strikes me as the kind of guy who will read all the research provided by his firm and believe every word of it. He’s smart, educated (PHD) and generally quite unremarkable in every other way. Discovering Psychology: The power of the situation
