Patriotism Completely Explained

Patriotism Completely Explained  PDF Version

Here is the first definition of patriotism that turns up on a DuckDuckGo search. With this definition in mind, countless U.S. citizens plus even more from other lands, enemies and foes have died in wars,….had bombs dropped on them…. and many are buried in graveyards where only patriots are allowed to be buried. Internments in a special graveyard is a patriot’s reward. Being honored as a veteran is another reward. Proclaiming oneself as Patriot Joe or Patriot Bill gains the eyes and ears of other citizens and exalts the professed patriot in the eyes of others.

What to Expect in an Economic and Political Crisis

What to Expect in an Economic and Political Crisis PDF Version

Evil does not recognize itself because, to it, lies are the truth.
We have to remember that ,what is evil, is becoming exposed, each and every day..
People can either believe the lie or be fooled into complacency. .

By election day, fewer will believe the lie, and as hardships accumulate, complacency will wane. Unpleasant things will happen but they won’t be in line with popular  predictions. The fact is that we don’t know what those unpleasant things will be, but, chaos and confusion for sure.

Treacherous Dangerous Times

 

Treacherous Dangerous Times PDF Version

This is a question I answered on a public forum where I am apparently still welcome and for now uncensored .This is a question I answered on a public forum where I am apparently still welcome and for now uncensored. American citizens along with the rest of the world’s population are in serious danger. Danger from outright violence is present of course. Economic danger is present, growing and certain to increase. In the face of this there is a genuine lack of awareness of the gravity
of the situation. There is a black out of any relevant non superficial news. There is little concern and little meaningful information available that might make folks concerned. Continue reading

Another Silly Recession Headline

I clipped this headline off of Zerohedge this morning.

So, why is it suggested that the U.S. might be in a recession, when it obviously is to anyone with at least one eye, who is looking?  We have a growing homeless population. Banks are failing. Small banks are losing deposits. Retail stores are closing. Home prices have started falling and so on. 

 

So, why is GDP still o.k. but just might head into a downturn? Continue reading

I am on record as predicting a tech train wreck. The Coming Tech Train Wreck. With respect to that…. so far – so good. I am also predicting a depression without a recovery and a bear market that lasts at least two years. Permanent Depression. The combination of a devastating depression and the crumbling of tech – the most dynamic sector of the bull market, will guarantee unfathomable losses in all other sectors.

When I make these kinds of predictions, certainly it appears that I am simply grabbing some attention – getting notion out of the air, and claiming it is going to happen without presenting any numerical evidence. I can do that because I view the world without the handicap of looking through the prism of fantasy. I start with natural law by checking first the most basic influences. Continue reading

The Central Planning Depression

 

The kind of Depression the United States is entering is permanent. There will be no free market recovery because the free market system has been replaced with central economic planning. Recessions in a free market system are short and temporary. There is no free market so there will be no recovery. So, once a recession begins an all out depression will occur ensue. More central economic planning will be initiated on the hope that central economic planning will generate an economic rebound. In a centrally planned economy a natural recovery will not occur.

The cause of the depression is the practice of using political power to determine economic outcomes.  All kinds of theories based on fancy statistics and presumed numerical relationships will be tried and retried. What Fantasy Free Economics does is provide the genuine reasons for economic phenomena in terms of what causes the occurrence of the statistics on which sophisticated economics rely. In mainstream economics, one number causes another. One number alone does not cause another. The cause is always explainable in terms of human behavior in just a sentence.

Americans believe government solutions not the free market system is what causes economic growth. This misguided approach is the cause of the severe depression the global economy is entering into. Widespread prosperity or even well being is not possible when the system that completely causes prosperity is eliminated. That is what has happened. The state of being in a depression will be impossible for the economy to recover from given that the only path to recovery is being rejected.

I am not saying an economic recovery is completely impossible. Even economists who call themselves free market economists are offering no free market solutions or good advice. To return to free market influences it is necessary to repeal laws, close and rein in government agencies. The practice of using legislation to rig and control markets would have to be eliminated. These things are not being done, suggested or even considered. When citizens of a country are rejecting the only available path to higher living standards, there is no where for a country to go down.

The western world understands the self correcting nature of the business cycle theory. It is out with the old and in with the new. A recession is a natural resetting when resources have become inefficiently allocated. When recessions are avoided through central economic planning, the reason and causes for the recession continue to worsen. In time, even though an economy grows to new highs in terms of GDP, the income distribution between different income classes widens and continue to widen.  This is because political power rather than price, determines who gets what in the economy. It is natural then that the wealthy become more wealthy during central economic planning because they are the ones with most of the political power.

What the United States is experiencing now is similar the situation in place within the Old Soviet Union when it finally collapsed. That is the natural outcome of a system of central economic planning. Without free market influences that type of outcome is normal. Based on our economic policies and the mentality of those who have taken charge, failure is the only possible outcome.

The truth is a hard sell. Fantasy Free Economics gains readers one at a time. Major search engines simply do not list blogs which disagree with their political agenda. As long as folks share the link to this blog and others speaking out against the grain, the truth will at least trickle into the public consciousness.

Simple Answers

Simple Answers  PDF Version

Where human behavior is concerned all answers are simple. Complex answers evolve out of mankind’s propensity to avoid entertaining the truth. How is the truth avoided? It starts by ascribing the most flattering definition to each human being, each public institution and all legal human activities. <!–more–>The brutal system of dominance and subservience in which we all must participate, is explained away, with human beings occupying some sort of imaginary special high ground within the universe. Dispense with those reassuring but false notions  and explanations do become quite simple.
