Permanent Depression

Posted on January 3, 2024 by jamesq

I want to make sure I am on record in forecasting a permanent depression. This is while others are calling for a recession or a simple depression. What if an economy experiences two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth? That by most is deemed to be a recession. Government statistics are always as positive is they possibly can be. The real situation is always much worse.

Now, some are challenging this time honored definition of what constitutes a recession. Why call it a recession if we don’t have to? Certainly we shouldn’t want Americans to be discouraged.

I don’t follow government statistics. Continue reading →

A Fear I Wish I Didn’t Have

Posted on December 28, 2023 by jamesq

I have developed this fear over time. It is the fear of being right. What I suspect initially…. always seems far-fetched. Often it comes true and I wish it hadn’t. When I suspect something these days, I am scared that I will be right.believing the lies of life and atypical perceptions begin popping into one’s head. It isn’t clairvoyance. It is just that atypical perceptions, that fantasy replaces, are intact. Understanding is based on what is real and not what is acquired in life as a comforting mechanism.

Mankind is so docile and compliant in front of authority these days that it can’t be explained by even a variation of what is normal Continue reading →

Psychopaths Presidents and You

Posted on December 25, 2023 by jamesq

Are there psychopaths in politics? Politics, especially in presidential elections, is highly competitive, right? Who is the most powerful person in the world these days? Many would cite the president of the United States. Not a bad observation. Even if he isn’t, he is pretty close.

Presidents have pleasant personalities. They often look wholesome and grandfatherly. How could anyone expect one of these gentle souls to be a psychopath? Lets reason this out. Continue reading →

America’s Luck Running As Rising Rates Start To Bite

The stubborn unwillingness of Americans to think astounds me. Has anyone got their eyes open? Anyone willing to open his eyes? Can anyone see his hand in front of his face? Does anyone want to see his hand in front of his face? Who is not afraid to look Continue reading →

Like Dogs Without A Master

An American without his government is like a dog without a master. We have a nation of people who identify as Republicans, Democrats, liberals and conservatives. Ostensibly, these self designations represent a person’s actual posture in the world. They don’t Continue reading →

Picture Of Huge Mis-Understanding

Posted on December 10, 2023 by jamesq

There is a huge misunderstanding voters have when they cast their votes in a national election. Sometimes a picture can explain an issue where thousands of words fail. Many understand the perils U.S. citizens face today. Few understand that choosing a new leader will make little or no difference with respect to the future of the country. That is, unless citizens impose predominance over those they elect. There must be constant tension between voters and leaders. Constant demonstrative action is essential. Continue reading →
