RUSH: If the Democrats win, if Biden, whoever wins the presidency, New York is the model for where we’re headed, from nursing homes, to riots, to everything in between.

RUSH : This is Chris , my adopted hometown , Sacramento , California .
Hello , sir .
CALLER : Just as a segue from what you were just speaking about before the break , you know , the theory that I proposed to your screener was , you know , living in this blue state , I feel like the blue state governors are actually hoping and praying that Trump does something , and the reason I say that — and when I say something , send in the National Guard or send in some sort of aid — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would fix the problem that they have with the rioting , the looting , and the issues that we ’ re having out here .
But it would also give them the capability to condemn it .
And it would give them the capability to call him a racist and give ’ em that point that they ’ re looking for .
So I think the best thing that he could do is to stand by , not do nothing , but be ready and say we ’ re ready to roll whenever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you ’ re right .
It ’ s one of two things .
They ’ re either waiting for Trump to send in the Guard — and I think this is what de Blasio wanted .
I think de Blasio wanted Trump send in the military .
If somebody died , if a New Yorker died at the hands of the U.S. military , the left was all ready to go with that story .
“ U.S .
military in New York illegally due to presidential order kills innocent New Yorker , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blah , blah , whatever .
The second thing these governors want is bailouts .
So it ’ s one of two .
They ’ re looking at the opportunity here because of the virus at first and now the protests and the unrest .
They ’ ve got so many financial obligations that they don ’ t have any prayer of meeting .
Illinois , too , in terms of unfunded pension liabilities , obligations , their budget deficits .
And I think that they ’ re holding out that , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can ’ t be a national economic recovery without New York and California , so they might ultimately get bailed out .
I think Trump ’ s gon na leave ’ em alone .
I think New York right now is serving a really great purpose .
New York is a preview of what a Democrat win in November will mean for the whole country .
If you want people like Cuomo and de Blasio running where you live , take a look at New York .
If the Democrats win , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York is the model for where we ’ re headed , from nursing homes , to riots , to everything in between .
RUSH : They ’ re still talking about George Floyd in Minnesota , the Minnesota attorney general increasing charges against the officer and there ’ s also report that the other three officers are going to be charged .
We don ’ t know what with .
You know , the original charge was third degree murder for the officer who had his knee on the neck of George @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s making it look like that charge may be changed to something — well , worse for the officer .
Senator Klobuchar is the source for this .
And she was on the committee , by the way , she was on the committee today that was hearing testimony from Rosenstein , and she was complaining that they were talking about that when there ’ s so much other stuff that they could be investigating , such as the virus and such as George Floyd .
I want to go back to one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the previous hour , the end of it .
We had a caller who thinks that the governors , California and New York , do indeed want Trump to call out the military because nothing good can happen there .
Military gets called out and somebody gets killed , somebody gets hurt , and that looks bad for Trump , and then the states are gon na have to be apologized to and all that .
I don ’ t think that ’ s gon na be the case .
In fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually hoping for is — they may be hoping for the military be deployed so that something happens that can harm Trump , but I think what they really are angling for is an economic bailout .
Many of them , California particularly , still much more attached to things with the virus story than they are with George Floyd .
They ’ ve got their share of protests and they ’ ve got their share of property destruction , Santa Monica , Los Angeles , Rodeo Drive , I mean , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but the virus is still a dominant subject there .
And it wouldn ’ t surprise me if both Cuomo and J.B. Pritzker in Illinois and Newsom are doing what they ’ re doing angling for a federal bailout .
A federal bailout to wipe out every debt they ’ ve got , including unfunded pension liabilities and all that .
And I hope Trump doesn ’ t do it .
I do think — you remember Kent State , remember the song by Crosby , Stills , Nash & Young , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Nixon ’ s come ?
Remember all that ?
I think they ’ re hoping for something similar here .
I think they ’ d love for the military to take out some innocent citizen if they ’ re deployed in New York or California .
But I hope what really happens — I hope Trump leaves ’ em alone .
If you want a preview of what awaits this country if Democrats win the presidency , look at New York .
Look at Minnesota .
Look at California .
Look at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no opposition .
From nursing homes to riots , everything in between .
Everything that ’ s happened in these states was avoidable .
The governor New York , the mayor of New York , they ’ re wannabe little , you know , almost miniature dictators .
And they don ’ t like each other , and there ’ s none of this we ’ re in this together stuff .
There ’ s , no , we ’ re stronger together stuff .
These two guys don ’ t like each @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cuomo .
Both of these guys , de Blasio and Cuomo , both of them botched the coronavirus response big time .
They both botched the lockdown of the city and the state .
It was not necessary .
They have destroyed so much , restaurants and other businesses that will never come back .
These cities , if these people don ’ t get a handle on things , these cities in these states are gon na end up being unlike anything anybody remembers .
There ’ s gon na be no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ With telecommuting having been a success , there ’ s no reason now that you have to live in New York to work there .
There ’ s no reason you have to live in Connecticut and pay those exorbitant rents and commute to New York .
Ditto , New Jersey .
There ’ s no reason anymore .
It ’ s not an accident New York is imploding .
It ’ s not an accident that people in New York are destroying it .
It ’ s not an accident that Macy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the door open for ’ em , in and out .
And Joe Biden is just as incompetent as Cuomo and de Blasio .
The sad thing is , voters get what they want , and voters in New York voted for what they ’ ve got .
They got exactly what they voted for .
Now , I made mention of the fact that it may be tough to have a genuine nationwide economic recovery if we don ’ t get New York and California on board , that they are a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and we need them rejuvenated economically if there is to be a national economic recovery .
I had some people say , “ I don ’ t think you ’ re right about that , Rush .
You say the U.S. economy has to have New York and California , but I think we ’ re about to see , Rush , that we don ’ t need New York or California .
And here ’ s why I think so , Rush .
New York City ’ s a war zone .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ York City is done .
Who in the world is gon na move back there now ?
Who in the world is ever gon na feel safe there ?
Who is gon na ever want to go back to that city and pay what it costs to live there when nobody is gon na lift a finger to protect you or your property ?
Now we got barbed wire , Rush , protecting Saks Fifth Avenue .
Who in hell wants to live in a place where that ’ s required , Rush @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Avenue , Macy ’ s looted on all of its floors with the looters holding the doors open .
And in one case the looters arrived in a $ 350,000 Rolls .
Did you see that ?
Or Bentley ?
You see that , Mr. Snerdley ?
The looters arrived in a $ 350,000 Bentley .
The looters get out , hold the door open , some looters go in .
A forklift was used to get rid of some window plywood .
No leadership to be seen .
“ The thing you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York was dying and sick before the China flu and the riots .
The only thing different now is New York has no pulse .
Just pull the plug .
We ’ re gon na have to figure out how to live without them .
And we will.
” I got ta couple of notes along those lines .

RUSH: This is Chris, my adopted hometown, Sacramento, California. Hello, sir.
CALLER: Hey, good morning, Rush.
RUSH: Hi.
CALLER: Mega dittos and mega prayers.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: Just as a segue from what you were just speaking about before the break, you know, the theory that I proposed to your screener was, you know, living in this blue state, I feel like the blue state governors are actually hoping and praying that Trump does something, and the reason I say that — and when I say something, send in the National Guard or send in some sort of aid — because it would do twofold.
It would fix the problem that they have with the rioting, the looting, and the issues that we’re having out here. But it would also give them the capability to condemn it. And it would give them the capability to call him a racist and give ’em that point that they’re looking for. So I think the best thing that he could do is to stand by, not do nothing, but be ready and say we’re ready to roll whenever you want help.
RUSH: Well, you’re right. It’s one of two things. They’re either waiting for Trump to send in the Guard — and I think this is what de Blasio wanted. I think de Blasio wanted Trump send in the military. If somebody died, if a New Yorker died at the hands of the U.S. military, the left was all ready to go with that story. “U.S. military in New York illegally due to presidential order kills innocent New Yorker,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
The second thing these governors want is bailouts. So it’s one of two. They’re looking at the opportunity here because of the virus at first and now the protests and the unrest. They’ve got so many financial obligations that they don’t have any prayer of meeting. Illinois, too, in terms of unfunded pension liabilities, obligations, their budget deficits. And I think that they’re holding out that, you know, Trump will realize that there can’t be a national economic recovery without New York and California, so they might ultimately get bailed out.
I think Trump’s gonna leave ’em alone. I think New York right now is serving a really great purpose. New York is a preview of what a Democrat win in November will mean for the whole country. If you want people like Cuomo and de Blasio running where you live, take a look at New York. If the Democrats win, if Biden, whoever wins the presidency, New York is the model for where we’re headed, from nursing homes, to riots, to everything in between.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: They’re still talking about George Floyd in Minnesota, the Minnesota attorney general increasing charges against the officer and there’s also report that the other three officers are going to be charged. We don’t know what with. You know, the original charge was third degree murder for the officer who had his knee on the neck of George Floyd. And now this story’s making it look like that charge may be changed to something — well, worse for the officer.

Senator Klobuchar is the source for this. And she was on the committee, by the way, she was on the committee today that was hearing testimony from Rosenstein, and she was complaining that they were talking about that when there’s so much other stuff that they could be investigating, such as the virus and such as George Floyd.
I want to go back to one point I made also at the bottom of the previous hour, the end of it. We had a caller who thinks that the governors, California and New York, do indeed want Trump to call out the military because nothing good can happen there. Military gets called out and somebody gets killed, somebody gets hurt, and that looks bad for Trump, and then the states are gonna have to be apologized to and all that. I don’t think that’s gonna be the case.
In fact, I think what these governors are actually hoping for is — they may be hoping for the military be deployed so that something happens that can harm Trump, but I think what they really are angling for is an economic bailout. Many of them, California particularly, still much more attached to things with the virus story than they are with George Floyd. They’ve got their share of protests and they’ve got their share of property destruction, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Rodeo Drive, I mean, they’ve had their share of it, but the virus is still a dominant subject there.
And it wouldn’t surprise me if both Cuomo and J.B. Pritzker in Illinois and Newsom are doing what they’re doing angling for a federal bailout. A federal bailout to wipe out every debt they’ve got, including unfunded pension liabilities and all that. And I hope Trump doesn’t do it. I do think — you remember Kent State, remember the song by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Four Dead in Ohio, four dead and Nixon’s come? Remember all that?
I think they’re hoping for something similar here. I think they’d love for the military to take out some innocent citizen if they’re deployed in New York or California. But I hope what really happens — I hope Trump leaves ’em alone. If you want a preview of what awaits this country if Democrats win the presidency, look at New York. Look at Minnesota. Look at California. Look at anywhere the Democrats run the show with no opposition. From nursing homes to riots, everything in between.
Everything that’s happened in these states was avoidable. The governor New York, the mayor of New York, they’re wannabe little, you know, almost miniature dictators. And they don’t like each other, and there’s none of this we’re in this together stuff. There’s, no, we’re stronger together stuff. These two guys don’t like each other at all, de Blasio and Cuomo. Both of these guys, de Blasio and Cuomo, both of them botched the coronavirus response big time. They both botched the lockdown of the city and the state.
It was not necessary. They have destroyed so much, restaurants and other businesses that will never come back. These cities, if these people don’t get a handle on things, these cities in these states are gonna end up being unlike anything anybody remembers. There’s gonna be no reason to move back to them. With telecommuting having been a success, there’s no reason now that you have to live in New York to work there. There’s no reason you have to live in Connecticut and pay those exorbitant rents and commute to New York. Ditto, New Jersey. There’s no reason anymore.
It’s not an accident New York is imploding. It’s not an accident that people in New York are destroying it. It’s not an accident that Macy’s was looted with people holding the door open for ’em, in and out. And Joe Biden is just as incompetent as Cuomo and de Blasio. The sad thing is, voters get what they want, and voters in New York voted for what they’ve got. They got exactly what they voted for.
Now, I made mention of the fact that it may be tough to have a genuine nationwide economic recovery if we don’t get New York and California on board, that they are a large percentage of the American economy, and we need them rejuvenated economically if there is to be a national economic recovery.
I had some people say, “I don’t think you’re right about that, Rush. You say the U.S. economy has to have New York and California, but I think we’re about to see, Rush, that we don’t need New York or California. And here’s why I think so, Rush. New York City’s a war zone. New York City is over. New York City is done. Who in the world is gonna move back there now? Who in the world is ever gonna feel safe there? Who is gonna ever want to go back to that city and pay what it costs to live there when nobody is gonna lift a finger to protect you or your property? Now we got barbed wire, Rush, protecting Saks Fifth Avenue. Who in hell wants to live in a place where that’s required, Rush?”
Barbed wire at Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s looted on all of its floors with the looters holding the doors open. And in one case the looters arrived in a $350,000 Rolls. Did you see that? Or Bentley? You see that, Mr. Snerdley? The looters arrived in a $350,000 Bentley. The looters get out, hold the door open, some looters go in. A forklift was used to get rid of some window plywood. No leadership to be seen.
“The thing you don’t get, Rush, New York was dying and sick before the China flu and the riots. The only thing different now is New York has no pulse. Just pull the plug. We’re gonna have to figure out how to live without them. And we will.” I gotta couple of notes along those lines.


investmentwatchblog--2020-06-04--The Fed Just Got the Perfect Cover for the Collapse of the U.S. Economy

The scapegoating has already started .
In almost every sector of the economy that is collapsing , the claim is that “ everything was fine until the pandemic happened ” .
From tumbling web news platforms to small businesses to major corporations , the coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent national riots will become the excuse for failure .
The establishment will try to rewrite history and many people will go along with it because the truth makes them look bad .
And what is the truth ?
The truth is that the U.S. economy – and in some ways , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The system ’ s dependency on ultra-low interest rates and central bank stimulus created perhaps the largest debt bubble in history – the Everything Bubble .
And that bubble began imploding at the end of 2018 , triggered primarily by the Federal Reserve raising rates and dumping its balance sheet into economic weakness , just like it did at the start of the Great Depression .

This is the danger that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unrest distractions , and it is a threat that the government has no means or intention of saving us from .
We must save ourselves , and doing that requires preparation and acceptance that the world is changed .

The scapegoating has already started. In almost every sector of the economy that is collapsing, the claim is that “everything was fine until the pandemic happened”. From tumbling web news platforms to small businesses to major corporations, the coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent national riots will become the excuse for failure. The establishment will try to rewrite history and many people will go along with it because the truth makes them look bad.
And what is the truth? The truth is that the U.S. economy – and in some ways, the global economy – was already collapsing. The system’s dependency on ultra-low interest rates and central bank stimulus created perhaps the largest debt bubble in history – the Everything Bubble. And that bubble began imploding at the end of 2018, triggered primarily by the Federal Reserve raising rates and dumping its balance sheet into economic weakness, just like it did at the start of the Great Depression. Fed Chair Jerome Powell knew what would happen if this policy was initiated; he even warned about it in the minutes of the October 2012 Federal Open Market Committee, and yet once he became the head of the central bank, he did it anyway.
For a year leading up to the pandemic, the Fed was struggling to maintain and suppress a repo market liquidity crisis. National debt, corporate debt and consumer debt were at all-time highs. Companies were desperate for new stimulus, and they were getting crumbs from the Fed, rather than the tens of trillions that they needed just to stay afloat. The central bank had sabotaged the economy, but they had to keep it in a state of living death until they had a perfect cover event for the collapse. The pandemic and inevitable civil unrest do the job nicely.
What many people do not understand is that the Fed does not care about the economy. In fact, every Fed action since its inception in 1913 has led to the downfall of the U.S. The Fed is not a maintenance man trying to stave off collapse; the Fed is a suicide bomber willing to destroy everything including itself in order to serve a greater ideology.
Total global centralization is the goal, and every new disaster is exploited to this end by the establishment. “Order out of chaos” is the motto of the global elites; in other words, in every crisis there is “opportunity”. This crisis has been no different. Suggested solutions have ranged from the creation of a cashless society operating on a digital currency system, to permanent lockdowns in the name of stopping “global warming”, to a surveillance state and medical tyranny utilizing 24/7 tracking of citizens in order to “stop the spread of the virus”. But how does the establishment plan to get people to go along with such freedom-crushing policies?
The pandemic by itself is not enough. The George Floyd riots may be a motivator, but they might fizzle out over time. The real catalyst, as I have said for many years now, will be an ongoing economic crash. This crash, engineered in 2008, has been a long time coming. Everything that is happening today is an extension of what happened over a decade ago. That said, the current phase was set in motion in 2018, as noted above.
The virus and the lockdowns solidified the crash, and for those people that were calling for a V-shaped recovery, I think it’s time they admit that this is not going to happen.
The latest Fed models predict a GDP plunge of 52.8%, and the manner in which the Fed calculates GDP is actually rigged to the upside. It is difficult to predict the REAL fall in data, but we know it will likely be larger than 52%. Keep in mind that this crash is in the 2nd quarter, while the Fed pumped trillions into the system. What exactly did this money printing buy? Well, stock markets stabilized, but the rest of the economy didn’t, and stock market optimism isn’t going to last much longer either.
The primary reason we now face a second Great Depression is because the small business sector has been destroyed. Small businesses are vital to the U.S. economy, representing around 50% of the job market. The closures have already resulted in around 40 million job losses in the past two months. Add that to the 95 million Americans that have been out of work but not counted by the BLS as unemployed – as well as the 11 million people that are counted – and you are looking at nearly 150 million working age people not generating an income.

The public doesn’t realize it yet, but many of the businesses that shut down over the past couple months are not coming back. Sure, a lot of them will try to reopen, and there will be a last gasp of activity during the next month or two, but the levels of debt attached to these ventures was already high before the pandemic hit. The recent small business bailouts seemed as if they were designed to give people false hope. According to figures out of JP Morgan, of the 300,000 clients that applied for the small business aid, only 18,000 actually received any. And, of that 18,000, many were larger corporation, not small businesses.
Business sectors most affected include retail and service, which crashed a record 16.4% overall in April. Food service lost approximately 30% of sales. Electronics and appliances lost 60%. Clothing plunged 78%. Auto sales fell 33% in May, and the expected rebound after the reopening has been disappointing.
The businesses most likely to die first are those that had large debt obligations before the lockdowns, as well as those that received no bailout money. Even though companies like General Electric, Verizon, IBM and Tesla all have massive debt issues, they may be kept alive by government bailouts, at least for a time. Small businesses, on the other hand, appear to be slated for destruction.
In particular, I suspect most restaurants besides major chains will go into bankruptcy. Boutique stores and clothing outlets will run out of money fast. Movie theater chains will collapse. Car rental outlets will collapse. Tourism businesses will close en masse and tourism towns will suffer profit losses despite the “reopening” in some states. Larger companies, like airlines, will continue to decline, and they will have to diversify into other areas, such as shipping, in order to survive. The auto industry is not coming back any time soon.
There are a number of reasons why this will happen. In the case of restaurants, the social distancing requirements reduce the number of customers that they can seat at any given time. Restaurants were already suffering major declines before the pandemic, and while take-out venues might have seen an uptick because of the lockdowns, this will not last as people begin to run out of cash and start cooking at home.
The same goes for small boutique stores, which rely on consumers with expendable cash flows. Such consumers no longer exist, and notions of “extra cash” will disappear along with waning government checks. As for tourism, I think there will be some travel, as lockdown restrictions are partially lifted. Many people in the cities will try to get away for a week or two just to escape and feel normal for a little while. However, I also think mainstream economists are underestimating the number of people who will refuse to travel because of concerns about coming in contact with the coronavirus. Just as retail refuses to rebound, so will tourism profits.
Air travel is unlikely to improve for the same reasons. Social distancing makes airplane flights a losing investment as passenger capacity is reduced. New car sales will remain stagnant because people are traveling less, and the used car market is being stocked with product as average people sell off vehicles to get extra cash to make ends meet.
All of these factors result in long-term job losses and debt defaults for small businesses as well as some larger companies. Which means much higher poverty rates and further dependency on government welfare programs.
The real test for the public will come when lockdowns return. I realize that there is a bit of denial in the population when it comes to this idea. I see many people operating on the assumption that the “reopening” is a long-term situation. I assure you, it is not. As I have noted in many previous articles, the establishment intends to use what I call “wave theory”, or a cycle of shutdowns and openings over the span of a year or longer. There WILL be new lockdowns, if not in the name of a resurgence in COVID infections, it will be in the name of stopping the national riots.
The response from the American people will be critical here. Will we support further lockdowns or martial law, even though the measures would harm us economically? Or will the public resist? Will the political left embrace a second lockdown in the face of further infection spikes? Will conservatives embrace lockdowns in the face of leftist protests and riots? Both sides of the political spectrum are being tempted with the use of a totalitarian government response in order to ensure their personal “safety”.
People must be made to understand the reality of our situation: the economy has already been undermined and this threat is far greater than either the virus or the riots. This is the danger that is being hidden by the pandemic and civil unrest distractions, and it is a threat that the government has no means or intention of saving us from. We must save ourselves, and doing that requires preparation and acceptance that the world is changed.

investmentwatchblog--2020-06-04--Doug Casey on the Coming Bond and Real Estate Collapse and Where the Next Bubble Will Be

International Man : The bond super bubble continues to get bigger .
Interest rates seem to be headed even lower from here .
Is this the blow-off top in the bond market ?
What do you think will cause central banks to lose control and for interest rates to head higher ?
Doug Casey : Even with the Fed bailing out major institutions—which it will continue to do , just like back in 2008–2009—the fundamentals underlying many businesses are so bad that a lot of them are going to collapse .
I ’ m not just talking about the obvious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ board .
As that starts happening , people will realize that the cat ’ s really out of the bag , that this isn ’ t just another cyclical downturn—it ’ s genuine depression .
And almost everything the government is doing is not only the wrong thing but the exact opposite of the right thing .
The worst possible place for money today may not even be the stock market , as dangerous as it is .
It ’ s the bond market .
Bonds aren ’ t just in a bubble @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The bond hyper-bubble is serious because there ’ s so much debt in the world at such low interest rates .
When reality reasserts itself , interest rates start heading up—not just to levels that show a real yield after inflation but levels from the early ’ 80s , which ranged from 10 % to 20 % .
The bond market is heading toward its long-overdue collapse .
It will take down pension funds and insurance companies with it as well as the property market , which is built on a mountain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be really ugly .
Most of their assets are in bonds .
And many pension funds—particularly those for public employees—are already severely underfunded .
That ’ s really serious because we ’ re not at the bottom of a stock or bond bear market , where insolvency would be understandable .
We ’ re at the top of bubbles in both , and things are as good as they could possibly get .
As a consequence , a lot of cities and states are either going to have to increase contributions a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Regarding bonds themselves , as an investment class , they ’ re nothing like what they used to be .
Bonds are now a triple threat to your wealth—currency risk , interest rate risk , and solvency risk .
In the long run , currency risk is the most certain and perhaps the deadliest .
Despite the current demand for dollars—debtors are desperate for dollars to service and roll over their debts—the dollar will reach its intrinsic value .
The US Government , as the world ’ s biggest debtor , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can get all it wants by selling its debt to its central bank , the Federal Reserve .
Why make a bet on the value of the dollar ?
Second is interest rate risk .
Interest rates are at all-time lows , substantially below the rate of inflation everywhere , and actually negative on about $ 17 trillion of European and Japanese government debt .
I used to think interest rates below zero were metaphysically impossible but forgot that we ’ re now living in Bizarro World .
Artificially low rates are highly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do things that they ordinarily wouldn ’ t dream of because they think they can afford it .
That ’ s because of massive misallocations of capital and malinvestment .
The government needs low rates since interest on $ 20-some trillion is a major cost .
Low rates also discourage people from saving .
They make normally sensible folk act like foolish grasshoppers .
Instead of setting aside wealth for the winter , like wise ants , it encourages them to consume today and even live out of capital by borrowing .
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know the old fable .
The third threat is solvency risk .
With all the debt in the world , a lot of people just aren ’ t going to be able to pay their debts .
This includes governments .
For example , the Argentine government can ’ t pay its debts .
The US government is just a cycle or two behind the Argentine government .
Of course , since the US dollar is a reserve currency , the US Government has a lot more runway before it crashes .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ status .
The dollar will be replaced not by another fiat currency , but by gold .
International Man : The global pandemic seems to have changed the value proposition for many to live in big cities .
What do you think the effect of this hysteria will be on the real estate market ?
Doug Casey : This is one of the second-order effects of the hysteria that I ’ ve previously discussed .
The recent rent protests are going to roll over into a third-order effect .
The government will say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You don ’ t have to pay your rent or mortgage because we can ’ t have 20 million more families living under bridges .
We ’ ll pay it for you.
” The same goes for utilities .
This is something a lot of politicians are talking about right now .
That said , there ’ s an increasing tendency to get out of the big city and move to small towns , or maybe the countryside .
Not the suburbs , though .
The burbs of cities are the worst of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are a huge consideration when it comes to real estate .
With unemployment as high as it is right now—and it ’ s going to stay high—every kind of tax revenue is collapsing .
Meanwhile , their expenses are exploding with unemployment and related benefits .
Unfortunately , government employees aren ’ t being fired or laid off at anywhere near the rate of the private sector .
The government always takes care of its own , of course .
Pelosi is trying to get a near trillion-dollar bill through Congress to bail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can only hope it doesn ’ t pass , so they ’ ll be forced to trim their bloated employee rolls .
If that happens , however , they ’ ll cut back on desirable and essential services first , so the people will feel it , and scream for Federal funds .
It ’ s a bad idea to stay in the city or the suburbs .
I ’ ve said that for years , but the current epidemic of riots underlines that .
As does the trend of working at home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s smarter to be in a small town , which has some cohesiveness , or in the countryside .
Amazon and Walmart , FedEx and UPS have made it quite possible and convenient to live anywhere now .
You no longer have to live in the city to take advantage of most of the things that cities provide .
Cities , at least in the US , are all in decline anyway .
They ’ re crowded , noisy , dirty , expensive , and dangerous .
It ’ s unfortunate in many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cities was one major indicator of the decline of the Western Roman Empire in the 3rd through 6th centuries .
But that gets us into a gloomy conversation about the collapse of Western Civilization itself .
Right now , we ’ re just talking about nearby financial and economic problems .
The real estate bubble has primarily been in major cities like New York , LA , and San Francisco , and their equivalents around the world .
In Vancouver—which was an ultra-hot market—transactions now are happening at 40–50 % discounts from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cities are a bubble that ’ s bursting as we speak .
International Man : Many retirees and savers hold large positions in risky stocks and junk bonds in a search for yield .
What do you say to these people ?
Doug Casey : First of all , the average guy generally gets killed in the markets .
Even in a bull market , he only gets the table scraps , the poorest and worst of everything .
Right now , the public thinks everything will be just fine .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yields that are both high and safe are like unicorns or hen ’ s teeth .
Oh , and speaking of unicorns , the public is looking , en masse , for the next Facebook , Amazon , or Apple .
They ’ re spending ridiculous amounts of money on highly promoted newsletters and all kinds of scams .
I don ’ t doubt infomercials pushing magic trading programs are going to show up on late-night TV next .
Tech stocks for people who know nothing about technology and trading services for people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s perverse .
But the public often thinks the party is still on—they ’ ve heard about 8,357 % and 10,523 % returns—and pile in like lemmings .
John Q Public doesn ’ t realize that he ’ s going to get eaten up by bid-ask spreads .
He doesn ’ t realize that he ’ s going to get killed by the commissions on both sides .
Even if the person he ’ s taking advice from is right , the average guy gets and acts on the information too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t have the psychology that it takes to be a trader , a speculator , or even an investor .
These are all different things , incidentally .
What the latecomers are is gamblers—but they don ’ t know it .
That is what people are doing in a desperate attempt to outrun the collapse—and they ’ re making their situation worse .
Trying to trade is one thing .
The other is buying all kinds of tech stocks , which always happens late in the game .
People often pile into tech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but they don ’ t know that it has burst .
The old expression “ high-tech , big wreck ” is going to become very obvious in the future .
Most tech companies have to constantly raise lots and lots of money .
They ’ re science projects .
Most of them are burning matches—very much like mining exploration stocks .
How many are going to be the next Amazon or Facebook ?
Most of them are going to wind up trading for about zero .
What do I say to these people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
You ’ re just going to lose the rest of your money .
International Man : What speculative opportunities do you see in this environment ?
Doug Casey : Unfortunately , the main opportunities are speculative .
All the phony money being created will create other bubbles .
The question is , where will those bubbles be ?
They ’ re not easy to identify .
My guess is that the next bubble is going to be driven by both fear and greed as well as prudence into gold and , to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And , for different reasons , into commodities as a group .
That ’ s where I would look .
Gold is no longer at giveaway prices like it was in 2001 , at $ 250 .
It ’ s been an excellent place to be for a long time .
But it ’ s going a lot higher .
There are about 2,000 gold mining stocks .
Or , at least , companies that claim to be gold mining , gold development , or gold exploration stocks .
These are three different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Some of them are still very depressed right now .
Gold mining—which is generally a risky , crappy business—is one of the few profitable businesses out there .
Of mining companies in production today , most have “ all-in sustaining costs ” of about $ 1,000 an ounce , but gold is trading at $ 1,700 .
Fund managers—most of whom , like Buffet and Munger , neither like nor understand gold—are going to start piling into these things .
So will the public , but much later .
I think this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to be the next bubble .
Forget about common stocks , bonds , and real estate .
There ’ s plenty of time for conventional investments after the economy bottoms .
Editor ’ s Note : The ripple effects of the government lockdown are only stating to take shape .
That ’ s not to mention the unprecedented amount of money the that is being pumped into every corner of the economy by the Federal Reserve .

International Man: The bond super bubble continues to get bigger. Interest rates seem to be headed even lower from here. Is this the blow-off top in the bond market?
What do you think will cause central banks to lose control and for interest rates to head higher?
Doug Casey: Even with the Fed bailing out major institutions—which it will continue to do, just like back in 2008–2009—the fundamentals underlying many businesses are so bad that a lot of them are going to collapse. I’m not just talking about the obvious candidates—retail, restaurants, airlines—but across the board.
As that starts happening, people will realize that the cat’s really out of the bag, that this isn’t just another cyclical downturn—it’s genuine depression. And almost everything the government is doing is not only the wrong thing but the exact opposite of the right thing.
The worst possible place for money today may not even be the stock market, as dangerous as it is. It’s the bond market. Bonds aren’t just in a bubble. They’re in a hyper-bubble.
The bond hyper-bubble is serious because there’s so much debt in the world at such low interest rates. When reality reasserts itself, interest rates start heading up—not just to levels that show a real yield after inflation but levels from the early ’80s, which ranged from 10% to 20%. The bond market is heading toward its long-overdue collapse.
It will take down pension funds and insurance companies with it as well as the property market, which is built on a mountain of debt. It’s going to be really ugly. Most of their assets are in bonds. And many pension funds—particularly those for public employees—are already severely underfunded.
That’s really serious because we’re not at the bottom of a stock or bond bear market, where insolvency would be understandable. We’re at the top of bubbles in both, and things are as good as they could possibly get. As a consequence, a lot of cities and states are either going to have to increase contributions a lot or cut retirement benefits a lot.
Regarding bonds themselves, as an investment class, they’re nothing like what they used to be. Bonds are now a triple threat to your wealth—currency risk, interest rate risk, and solvency risk.
In the long run, currency risk is the most certain and perhaps the deadliest. Despite the current demand for dollars—debtors are desperate for dollars to service and roll over their debts—the dollar will reach its intrinsic value. The US Government, as the world’s biggest debtor, is most in need of dollars; but can get all it wants by selling its debt to its central bank, the Federal Reserve.
Why make a bet on the value of the dollar?
Second is interest rate risk. Interest rates are at all-time lows, substantially below the rate of inflation everywhere, and actually negative on about $17 trillion of European and Japanese government debt. I used to think interest rates below zero were metaphysically impossible but forgot that we’re now living in Bizarro World.
Artificially low rates are highly destructive. Low rates encourage people to do things that they ordinarily wouldn’t dream of because they think they can afford it. That’s because of massive misallocations of capital and malinvestment. The government needs low rates since interest on $20-some trillion is a major cost.
Low rates also discourage people from saving. They make normally sensible folk act like foolish grasshoppers. Instead of setting aside wealth for the winter, like wise ants, it encourages them to consume today and even live out of capital by borrowing. When winter comes, grasshoppers starve. You know the old fable.
The third threat is solvency risk. With all the debt in the world, a lot of people just aren’t going to be able to pay their debts. This includes governments.
For example, the Argentine government can’t pay its debts. The US government is just a cycle or two behind the Argentine government. Of course, since the US dollar is a reserve currency, the US Government has a lot more runway before it crashes. But it’s going to lose reserve status.

We’ll pay it for you.” The same goes for utilities. This is something a lot of politicians are talking about right now.
That said, there’s an increasing tendency to get out of the big city and move to small towns, or maybe the countryside. Not the suburbs, though. The burbs of cities are the worst of both worlds in some ways.
Taxes are a huge consideration when it comes to real estate. With unemployment as high as it is right now—and it’s going to stay high—every kind of tax revenue is collapsing. Meanwhile, their expenses are exploding with unemployment and related benefits.
Unfortunately, government employees aren’t being fired or laid off at anywhere near the rate of the private sector. The government always takes care of its own, of course.
Pelosi is trying to get a near trillion-dollar bill through Congress to bail out state and local governments. We can only hope it doesn’t pass, so they’ll be forced to trim their bloated employee rolls. If that happens, however, they’ll cut back on desirable and essential services first, so the people will feel it, and scream for Federal funds.
It’s a bad idea to stay in the city or the suburbs. I’ve said that for years, but the current epidemic of riots underlines that. As does the trend of working at home and doing business electronically. It’s smarter to be in a small town, which has some cohesiveness, or in the countryside. Amazon and Walmart, FedEx and UPS have made it quite possible and convenient to live anywhere now. You no longer have to live in the city to take advantage of most of the things that cities provide. Cities, at least in the US, are all in decline anyway. They’re crowded, noisy, dirty, expensive, and dangerous.
It’s unfortunate in many ways, though. The disappearance of cities was one major indicator of the decline of the Western Roman Empire in the 3rd through 6th centuries. But that gets us into a gloomy conversation about the collapse of Western Civilization itself. Right now, we’re just talking about nearby financial and economic problems.
The real estate bubble has primarily been in major cities like New York, LA, and San Francisco, and their equivalents around the world. In Vancouver—which was an ultra-hot market—transactions now are happening at 40–50% discounts from the peak. Property prices in fashionable big cities are a bubble that’s bursting as we speak.

THEY told us if we didn’t leave our jobs, destroy our businesses and lock ourselves in our houses that “We will Kill our Grandparents”…but now THEY are telling us that “Social Injustice” is much more important than “Killing our Grandparents!” WTF are WE DOING?!


investmentwatchblog--2020-06-04--Civil Unrest Is Inevitable – Here’s How It Will Be Exploited To Bring In Tyranny

Mass civil unrest is a cumbersome weapon for societal change ; like an oversized caveman club made of oak .
You can barely swing it , and when you do you might destroy an enemy with it but you could also unwittingly destroy innocent people at the same time .
Once the weapon is in motion adjusting its direction or momentum becomes difficult .
I prefer the scalpel approach – Find the cancer and cut it out directly , rather than bashing at the whole body just to get at one tumor .
Another problem with protests and riots is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or they lose track of their goals almost immediately .
When the initial protests started , they targeted the police precinct in Minneapolis which was home to the officers that killed George Floyd .
In my view this was perfectly acceptable .
At this stage a majority of Americans were on their side .
Many conservatives and law enforcement officers even came out in support of these measures and admonished the actions that violated common police procedure and led to unnecessary death .
But now , the situation has turned into something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It has become a vehicle for agendas and not surprisingly the establishment benefits most ; the very establishment the protesters think they are fighting against .
The riots have been co-opted .
Where whites and blacks , conservatives and liberals alike were mostly in agreement , now there are attempts at racial division .
Why is the death of Floyd being presented as a race issue in the first place ?
Why is it not being presented as a psychopath issue ?
There are psychopaths in every race in equal numbers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focus .
In other words , psychopaths must be removed from society , whether they be police , politicians , business leaders , “ caretakers ” , etc .
How about some examples… In Mesa , Arizona in 2017 , a white man named Daniel Shaver was murdered by officer Phillip Brailsford after an anonymous tip told police he had a rifle in his hotel room .
Though it is not illegal to own a rifle in Arizona and certainly not illegal to bring one into a hotel , a team of officers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and arrest Shaver .
Brailsford ordered the frightened Shaver to crawl across the floor instead of asking him to lay on the ground with his hands and feet spread as is normal police procedure .
The man , sobbing in terror , reached to pull up his shorts which were falling off , and was riddled with bullets by Brailsford .
Watching the video , it is clear that Brailsford created a situation in which Shaver could easily “ make a mistake ” and thereby manufacture an excuse for the officer to kill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turned out , the rifle Shaver had in his room was a BB gun .
A jury later acquitted Brailsford of any wrongdoing on the grounds that they could not determine “ his thoughts and feelings ” at the time of the shooting .
This sounds strange to me and I don ’ t think most people on trial for murder get anywhere near the same latitude with so much evidence on hand .
On the same day in North Carolina an officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
The motorist in South Carolina was black .
The point is , psychopathic cops kill people regardless of their skin color .
White people are at risk as much as black people .
But at least when a black person is wrongly killed , the public and the media might take serious notice .
There were no nationwide protests or riots for Daniel Shaver .
The establishment works in favor of psychopaths , not white people .
In fact , Phillip Brailsford was fired and then REHIRED for a short time by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still apply for his pension .
What about psychopaths that aren ’ t white cops ?
Oh , there are plenty of them , too .
How about Mohamed Noor , a BLACK Minneapolis police officer that killed an unarmed white woman , Justine Ruszczyk , in 2017 while responding to her 911 call ?
Leftist activists including those at the NAACP at the time claimed that Noor was being “ unfairly targeted ” because he was black .
There were no protests or riots for Justine Ruszczyk .
Though , luckily , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his crime .
And if we are going to continue following the thread of violence and psychopathy vs. race , I can ’ t leave out the black resident in Detroit that filmed himself torturing elderly nursing home patients by beating them repeatedly in their beds , completely unable to defend themselves .
The man has been arrested , but again , no riots yet over this horror show .
There are evil people of every race and ethnicity in this world that do terrible things , however , the worst people are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evil people create in order to turn crisis into opportunity .
The reason there are riots happening globally now in the wake of the death of George Floyd is because people are angry , but also , people are malleable and easy to manipulate when they are angry .
The country has just partially “ reopened ” from the pandemic lockdowns , and more lockdowns are likely before the year is out .
Over 40 million people lost their jobs during the economic shutdown and the government checks are not going to sustain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % to 18 % of small businesses that requested aid actually received money from the small business bailout , and most of those that did not get money are facing closure .
Government restrictions have been accelerating , and people are already on edge .
Riots are now an inevitable part of daily life in America .
But with events like the death of George Floyd , the riots can be manipulated .
The rage of the masses can be directed on false issues of race and surface level left/right politics instead of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elites that created the economic mess we now see before us .
The protests over George Floyd started out by raising questions on abuse of power by police , a legitimate cause .
Now they have been poisoned by race politics and outsiders seeking to create useful chaos .
Provocateurs have infiltrated the protests and are attempting to trigger indiscriminate violence .
Pre-staged weapons such as piles of bricks , bottles and other items have been appearing magically in protest zones .
Property is being destroyed by people not connected to the main @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up everywhere .
Here is where this is all headed… As I predicted in 2016 just after the election of Donald Trump , it appears the goal of the establishment is to produce extreme division among the American public and then exploit the hard-left as a weapon to frighten conservatives into supporting martial law .
In my article ‘ Order Out Of Chaos : Defeat Of The Left Comes With A Cost ’ , I stated : “ With Trump and conservatives taking near-total power after the Left had assumed they would never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to transform .
They are stepping away from the normal activities and mindset of cultural Marxism and evolving into full blown communists .
Instead of admitting that their ideology is a failure in every respect , they are doubling down .
When this evolution is complete , the Left WILL resort to direct violent action on a larger scale , and they will do so with a clear conscience because , in their minds , they are fighting fascism .
Ironically , it will be this behavior by leftists that may actually push @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might decide to fight crazy with more crazy.
” Donald Trump has consistently discussed the use of the National Guard in response to the pandemic and the protests .
And now , he is apparently considering using the Insurrection Act to deploy heavily armed military forces to US soil .
Is it just a coincidence that conservatives were the most opposed to medical martial law only a week ago in the face of the pandemic , and now they are considering the merits of martial law in the face of the leftist influenced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this ?
Perhaps the elitist establishment that ’ s been calling for martial law measures from the very beginning ?
I have been hearing the narrative everywhere in liberty movement circles that “ civil war is here ” and “ we have to support Trump and martial law to stop it ” .
Firstly , I have been warning for years that Trump is controlled opposition .
His cabinet is overflowing with the same banking elites and globalists that the liberty movement stands against .
Giving Trump martial law powers is no different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law powers .
If you support martial law and overarching government then you are NOT a conservative , you are a statist , and statists must be opposed by all who value freedom .
These people also don ’ t understand what “ civil war ” actually is .
Groups of people protesting is not a war .

Mass civil unrest is a cumbersome weapon for societal change; like an oversized caveman club made of oak. You can barely swing it, and when you do you might destroy an enemy with it but you could also unwittingly destroy innocent people at the same time. Once the weapon is in motion adjusting its direction or momentum becomes difficult.
I prefer the scalpel approach – Find the cancer and cut it out directly, rather than bashing at the whole body just to get at one tumor.
Another problem with protests and riots is that they often have no discernible goals, or they lose track of their goals almost immediately. When the initial protests started, they targeted the police precinct in Minneapolis which was home to the officers that killed George Floyd. In my view this was perfectly acceptable. At this stage a majority of Americans were on their side. Many conservatives and law enforcement officers even came out in support of these measures and admonished the actions that violated common police procedure and led to unnecessary death.
But now, the situation has turned into something far beyond the killing of George Floyd. It has become a vehicle for agendas and not surprisingly the establishment benefits most; the very establishment the protesters think they are fighting against.
The riots have been co-opted. Where whites and blacks, conservatives and liberals alike were mostly in agreement, now there are attempts at racial division. Why is the death of Floyd being presented as a race issue in the first place? Why is it not being presented as a psychopath issue? There are psychopaths in every race in equal numbers, and this should be people’s focus. In other words, psychopaths must be removed from society, whether they be police, politicians, business leaders, “caretakers”, etc. How about some examples…
In Mesa, Arizona in 2017, a white man named Daniel Shaver was murdered by officer Phillip Brailsford after an anonymous tip told police he had a rifle in his hotel room. Though it is not illegal to own a rifle in Arizona and certainly not illegal to bring one into a hotel, a team of officers was sent armed with AR-15s to approach and arrest Shaver. Brailsford ordered the frightened Shaver to crawl across the floor instead of asking him to lay on the ground with his hands and feet spread as is normal police procedure. The man, sobbing in terror, reached to pull up his shorts which were falling off, and was riddled with bullets by Brailsford.
Watching the video, it is clear that Brailsford created a situation in which Shaver could easily “make a mistake” and thereby manufacture an excuse for the officer to kill him in cold blood. As it turned out, the rifle Shaver had in his room was a BB gun. A jury later acquitted Brailsford of any wrongdoing on the grounds that they could not determine “his thoughts and feelings” at the time of the shooting. This sounds strange to me and I don’t think most people on trial for murder get anywhere near the same latitude with so much evidence on hand.
On the same day in North Carolina an officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder of an unarmed motorist. The difference? The motorist in South Carolina was black.
The point is, psychopathic cops kill people regardless of their skin color. White people are at risk as much as black people. But at least when a black person is wrongly killed, the public and the media might take serious notice. There were no nationwide protests or riots for Daniel Shaver. The establishment works in favor of psychopaths, not white people. In fact, Phillip Brailsford was fired and then REHIRED for a short time by the Mesa Police so that he could still apply for his pension.
What about psychopaths that aren’t white cops? Oh, there are plenty of them, too. How about Mohamed Noor, a BLACK Minneapolis police officer that killed an unarmed white woman, Justine Ruszczyk, in 2017 while responding to her 911 call? Leftist activists including those at the NAACP at the time claimed that Noor was being “unfairly targeted” because he was black. There were no protests or riots for Justine Ruszczyk. Though, luckily, Mohamed Noor did go to jail for his crime.
And if we are going to continue following the thread of violence and psychopathy vs. race, I can’t leave out the black resident in Detroit that filmed himself torturing elderly nursing home patients by beating them repeatedly in their beds, completely unable to defend themselves. The man has been arrested, but again, no riots yet over this horror show.
There are evil people of every race and ethnicity in this world that do terrible things, however, the worst people are those that exploit the tensions that these evil people create in order to turn crisis into opportunity. The reason there are riots happening globally now in the wake of the death of George Floyd is because people are angry, but also, people are malleable and easy to manipulate when they are angry.
The country has just partially “reopened” from the pandemic lockdowns, and more lockdowns are likely before the year is out. Over 40 million people lost their jobs during the economic shutdown and the government checks are not going to sustain the public much longer. Only 13% to 18% of small businesses that requested aid actually received money from the small business bailout, and most of those that did not get money are facing closure. Government restrictions have been accelerating, and people are already on edge. Riots are now an inevitable part of daily life in America.
But with events like the death of George Floyd, the riots can be manipulated.
The rage of the masses can be directed on false issues of race and surface level left/right politics instead of being directed at corrupt government and the elites that created the economic mess we now see before us. The protests over George Floyd started out by raising questions on abuse of power by police, a legitimate cause. Now they have been poisoned by race politics and outsiders seeking to create useful chaos.

Provocateurs have infiltrated the protests and are attempting to trigger indiscriminate violence. Pre-staged weapons such as piles of bricks, bottles and other items have been appearing magically in protest zones. Property is being destroyed by people not connected to the main protest groups. Odd occurrences are popping up everywhere.
Here is where this is all headed…
As I predicted in 2016 just after the election of Donald Trump, it appears the goal of the establishment is to produce extreme division among the American public and then exploit the hard-left as a weapon to frighten conservatives into supporting martial law. In my article ‘Order Out Of Chaos: Defeat Of The Left Comes With A Cost’, I stated:
“With Trump and conservatives taking near-total power after the Left had assumed they would never lose again, their reaction has been to transform. They are stepping away from the normal activities and mindset of cultural Marxism and evolving into full blown communists. Instead of admitting that their ideology is a failure in every respect, they are doubling down.
When this evolution is complete, the Left WILL resort to direct violent action on a larger scale, and they will do so with a clear conscience because, in their minds, they are fighting fascism. Ironically, it will be this behavior by leftists that may actually push conservatives towards a fascist model. Conservatives might decide to fight crazy with more crazy.”
Donald Trump has consistently discussed the use of the National Guard in response to the pandemic and the protests. And now, he is apparently considering using the Insurrection Act to deploy heavily armed military forces to US soil.
Is it just a coincidence that conservatives were the most opposed to medical martial law only a week ago in the face of the pandemic, and now they are considering the merits of martial law in the face of the leftist influenced riots? And who actually benefits from this? Perhaps the elitist establishment that’s been calling for martial law measures from the very beginning?
I have been hearing the narrative everywhere in liberty movement circles that “civil war is here” and “we have to support Trump and martial law to stop it”. Firstly, I have been warning for years that Trump is controlled opposition. His cabinet is overflowing with the same banking elites and globalists that the liberty movement stands against. Giving Trump martial law powers is no different than giving the elites around him martial law powers. If you support martial law and overarching government then you are NOT a conservative, you are a statist, and statists must be opposed by all who value freedom.
These people also don’t understand what “civil war” actually is. Groups of people protesting is not a war. What I see primarily is a bunch of ignorant children posing for Instagram photos and pretending they are activists. And if as the evidence suggests there is a provocateur element infiltrating these protests to stir up violence, then isn’t it possible that their goal is to get us to back martial law policies?
If the infiltrators are extremist communist organizations like Antifa or Black Lives Matter that receive funding from elites like George Soros and his Open Society Foundation, then we should consider the possibility that the intention is not just to influence the protests, but to also influence conservatives to react by supporting violent government power. If they can trick conservatives into suddenly supporting the lockdowns, curfews, and a national guard/military presence to stop the protests, then they will have defeated us without firing a shot. We will have defeated ourselves and our own constitutional principles.
The bottom line? More government power is NEVER the solution to any problem. Totalitarianism is never the answer. There will now be endless excuses to declare martial law. When the George Floyd riots fizzle out, there will be some other trigger event. In fact, these riots are probably just a precursor to the riots that will rage when the public realizes the US economy is not coming back from the pandemic, and that more lockdowns are on the way.

The next best step is for businesses to secure and defend their own properties. We have seen it time and time again; the buildings that have armed personnel on hand to guard them do not get torched. Of course, right now a number of companies that have property damage due to rioters and looters are actually SUPPORTING the rioters and looters!

Wow.
The return to nationalism is, right along with the economic collapse, happening at breakneck speed.
Here’s more on the latest geo-political tensions, from Reuters:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration said on Wednesday it will bar Chinese passenger carriers from flying to the United States starting on June 16 as it pressures Beijing to allow U.S. air carriers to resume flights.
The move, announced by the U.S. Department of Transportation, penalizes China after Beijing failed to comply with an existing agreement on flights between the world’s two largest economies. Relations between the two countries have also soured in recent months amid escalating tensions surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
The order applies to Air China (601111.SS), China Eastern Airlines Corp, China Southern Airlines Co (600029.SS) and Hainan Airlines Holding Co (600221.SS).
Delta Air Lines (DAL.N) and United Airlines (UAL.O) have asked to resume flights to China this month, even as Chinese carriers have continued U.S. flights during the pandemic. Delta said in a statement on Wednesday that “we support and appreciate the U.S. government’s actions to enforce our rights and ensure fairness.” United did not immediately comment.
China “remains unable” to say when it will revise its rules “to allow U.S. carriers to reinstate scheduled passenger flights,” the Transportation Department said in a formal notice made public on Wednesday.
Of note is the shift.
That is to say, whereas in 2018 and 2019, we saw certain sub-sections of society affected by the Trade War with China, such as U.S. soybean farmers, now, in a Covid-19 world, we see that everybody is potentially affected, at least without having to manage some indirect work-around.
That said, here’s the question: Who needs the passengers more, and if neither nation wants passengers from the other country, does this mean that not only is globalism collapsing, but we’re headed for extreme isolationism?
Regardless, well, this:
Seems legit…

The Democrat Party has gone rogue. Pelosi is refusing to return to Washington DC to do her job because she’s conspiring behind the scenes with Obama’s shadow government. They have effectively nullified their own primary, bypassing the will of their own voters, and installed Joe Biden as the nominee. They are releasing criminals all over the country. They are passing laws to legalize voter fraud. They are supporting Antifa, rioters and looters. I don’t think it could be any more obvious that we are in the middle of a coup.
