Plugging into “Small Everything”: Wake Up and Smell the 3 Cs–Community, Cash, and Coin (Coffee optional)

Reversing from exploited division to creative and healthy solidarity will need to be the mantra and guiding principle going forward if we the people are to take back our economy .
Editor ’ s note : This is a guest post by my friend and colleague Zeus Yiamouyiannis , Ph.D. , who has contributed essays to Of Two Minds since 2009 .
In the last essay I remarked that through a combination of internal pressures ( disenchantment and material hardship ) and external pressures ( Covid-19 and catastrophic concentration of global wealth ) , Americans were going to have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a rigged and unsustainable American Dream , decline participation in its mandates ( i.e .
“ patriotic buying ” and slaving away in dead-end jobs ) , and actively rebel against the system by withdrawing energy , money , and work and putting it into new , fairer , more democratic , and more creative systems .
Threats by the big guys of ruining your credit , or you missing out on the next big thing don ’ t mean much when the emerging reality is leading AWAY from the proffered promises @ @ @ @ @ @ @ empires fall , without exception , and they fall for many of the same reasons–corruption of the original founding ideal , loss of creativity , boredom , lack of concern for others , and an indoctrination that demands no virtues or qualities of ultimate value from its citizens .
I talked about all the ways we can unplug from “ Big Everything ” , but what about plugging into SMALL everything ?

In the last essay I remarked that through a combination of internal pressures (disenchantment and material hardship) and external pressures (Covid-19 and catastrophic concentration of global wealth), Americans were going to have to learn to break trust with the promises of a rigged and unsustainable American Dream, decline participation in its mandates (i.e. “patriotic buying” and slaving away in dead-end jobs), and actively rebel against the system by withdrawing energy, money, and work and putting it into new, fairer, more democratic, and more creative systems.
Threats by the big guys of ruining your credit, or you missing out on the next big thing don’t mean much when the emerging reality is leading AWAY from the proffered promises of a future material heaven.
All empires fall, without exception, and they fall for many of the same reasons–corruption of the original founding ideal, loss of creativity, boredom, lack of concern for others, and an indoctrination that demands no virtues or qualities of ultimate value from its citizens.
I talked about all the ways we can unplug from “Big Everything”, but what about plugging into SMALL everything? Charles Hugh Smith has already devoted a good part of his writing toward discussing what this might look like. But let’s start the conversation again in light of Covid-19.
What have we learned about what we can do without? What have we learned about what we WANT to do without? What might we do for ourselves, and what wider trends might this generate?
In my book, Transforming Economy: From Corrupted Capitalism to Connected Communities, I talked about moving from an instrumentally-focused economy run on human capital, materialism, and scarcity toward an intrinsically-focused economy run on relationship capital, non-scarce resources, and non-material goods. I also talked about moving from a possession culture to an experience culture. Quality of life is NOT based on material, though escape from misery IS!

Beyond a basic minimum, material more IS NOT BETTER. This goes against a major commandment of consumerist culture. However, I propose, that MORE IS BETTER for non-material qualities like love, friendship, and, yes, COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY
When we wake up from our various Facebook stupors, we realize how much of our lives are mediated by the meaning frames and profit-motives of others, who are simply manipulating our participation and emotions for THEIR ends. It may be uncomfortable to consider, but what happens when we do unplug from that and re-awaken real community exchange rather than abstract “tribes” that “like” everything, but stand for nothing?
To this end, my wife, Regina and I, are attempting to put together a forum from her wildly diverse community of people interested in alternative media/knowledge connected with her website. This is being done alongside attempts to forge concrete connections with neighbors. The former satisfies the desire to avidly explore areas of interest, and the latter mutual bonds of trust and civic exchange (not necessarily requiring shared interest).
Community focus has a way of stimulating one’s own direct, concrete, productive engagement with original, authentically-generated economy. Whether it is discussion forums (exchanging the fruits of ideas) or farmers markets (exchanging the fruits from our trees), we come to know ourselves in relation with real others with real cares, hopes, and dreams and not through a haze of identity politics.
I don’t share much in terms of political or religious alignment with my nearby neighbors. A good many are Christian fundamentalists and Trump supporters, but I can (and do try to) generate good will with fruit box drop-offs, having conversations while walking dogs, and hiring their kids for jobs around the orchard.
We have noticed an explosion of family activity, walking, biking, and canoeing that was so pronounced in the wake of the Covid-19 television sports shutdown, that local bike shops ran out of bikes, and had additional bikes on back-order months in to the future! That’s not a bad thing! More local families have started organizing and participating in outdoor games and sports, rather than splitting up and watching them on TV alone in their houses.
CASH
Community offers a potentially highly effective and informal exchange of good will (which seems to be an immensely SCARCE resource these days), but what of more concrete, measured exchange? What about local currency (shared local monetary units), time banking (shared work exchanges), peer lending (shared enterprise funding), and volunteered, shared expertise and tools (shared talent)?
All these are mediums of exchange and untapped resources that do not run out and INCREASE in value the more they are shared (understood as an increase in community capacity and quality of life). The better such forms of exchange are promoted and engaged in, the less “official” income one has to make (and list on a 1040), the less tax will accrue, and the more official federal money can be pooled and peer lent into community building and support.

Wise use of cash in its most basic definitional sense, as a scrip-medium of exchange, especially when it is local and voluntary, not only boosts good will, but encourages circulation of money-energy, and develops relationship capital by its very use. So much of the non-material, non-scarce aspects of life can therefore be supported. Another bonus of this commitment to local exchange, is that it is hard to predatorily exploit, both because it is face-to-face and because the scale does not allow for much harvesting or skimming of productivity through inserted middlemen.
COIN
Yes, Big Banks and the Power Elite will try to control the price of gold, silver, and even of Bitcoin. However, there is nothing stopping individuals from buying up these metals and sequestering some precious metal basis for exchange in the event of a currency collapse. One should note the effort by the U.S. government in the 1960s to recall all silver coin.
My grandfather, like many others, hoarded them instead, knowing that fiat currency, backed by nothing would be worth exactly nothing. The full faith and credit of the FDIC on banking deposits might allow one to be made whole dollar-wise, but the wholeness is denominated in paper backed by nothing besides a printing press.
Silver coin could come into style again, much like the shells of island gift economies, as a token to be passed around as a form of appreciation (not so much in terms of investment value but in terms of good will). A thriving local economy would make unnecessary gold or silver backed currency, because local dollars would be back by real needed goods and services. But nostalgia is strong, and it would be unwise to think that federal policy will not affect local economies.
Maybe having a community trust of gold and silver metal would serve as a potential hedge against devalued currency. When the community for some constructive larger project and needed a cash infusion of “official dollars” it could tap into the gold and silver reserve. In addition, official dollars, grounded by personal or community gold and silver reserves might even be cashed in or used to buy up assets in periods of deflation (including residences and even medical debt) allowing communities to keep people in their houses rather than being bought up by private equity firms or other predatory entities.
Community investment or microlending, say, to start a local community coffee house, would pay rich dividends in non-material, non-scarce good will, relationship, and civic involvement. The intentional divisions driven by manic, addictive media could thus be reversed and healed to an important extent.
Reversing from exploited division to creative and healthy solidarity will need to be the mantra and guiding principle going forward if we the people are to take back our economy.

New York restaurants are taking the hit from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s extended coronavirus shutdowns, with almost two-thirds of owners saying they could be out of business by year’s end, according to a survey released Thursday.
The survey by the New York State Restaurant Association is based on responses from over 1,000 restaurant owners in the state and provides a window into the future of the previously booming industry, as the pandemic nears six months.

The sluggish global oil demand recovery is putting off the point of oil market rebalancing and adding downward pressure on oil prices .

The sluggish global oil demand recovery is putting off the point of oil market rebalancing and adding downward pressure on oil prices. At the end of the first half of 2020 in June, many analysts and experts predicted that the global oil supply-demand balance would be in a sharp supply deficit in the third and fourth quarters this year.
While there have been inventory drawdowns in recent weeks, including in the world’s most visible market, the United States, demand has failed to recover as much as analysts had predicted two months ago.
Combined with OPEC+ group’s struggles on the supply side to rein in laggards in compliance who continue to overproduce above their quotas, oil prices have struggled to break above the low $40s amid those bearish fundamentals.
Over the past month, analysts, OPEC, and the International Energy Agency (IEA) admitted that their earlier forecasts of global oil demand this year may have been too optimistic. Both the IEA and OPEC revised down their oil demand forecasts in their respective reports in August, pointing to still struggling fuel demand and continued high uncertainty about the pandemic’s impact on economies and mobility.
The OPEC+ cuts may have stabilized oil prices, but the slower-than-expected oil demand recovery continues to weigh on prices and market sentiment.
OPEC itself said after the monthly meeting of its panel reviewing the situation on the market that “the pace of recovery appeared to be slower than anticipated with growing risks of a prolonged wave of COVID-19.”
The oil futures already reflect the market’s view that rebalancing is still some time away.
In recent weeks, the contango—in which prices for delivery at later dates are higher than front-month prices that typically points to oversupply—has deepened to more than $2 a barrel for the Brent Crude futures between November 2020 and May 2021. The six-month calendar spread was in a contango of only $0.48 a barrel as of the middle of June, according to estimates from Reuters market analyst John Kemp.
The contango in the Dubai crude Middle East benchmark, which appeared at the end of July, deepened in August as refining margins in the Asia Pacific region stayed weak amid a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, Argus notes.

The fundamentals are not constructive for an oil rally right now, but prices have been supported by a weak U.S. dollar in some of the recent trading days.
In fact, one analyst, Vandana Hari, founder of Vanda Insights, told CNBC earlier this week that a weaker dollar was the only support to oil prices.
Later in the week, a sudden strengthening of the dollar pushed oil prices lower, adding to the general sell-off in equity markets that also weighed on commodities.

Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.
Mark Zuckerberg predicts civil unrest in November
File this one away under “No sh*t, Sherlock…” In a yet-to-be aired interview with Axios HBO, Mark Zuckerberg states the obvious that, come election night in the Land of the Free, there most likely won’t be a winner declared because it will take days, if not weeks, to count all the mail-in ballots.
Moreover, says Zuckerberg, there is “a heightened risk of civil unrest” especially between the end of voting and the time the results are announced.
(And to be even more obvious, depending on who wins the Presidency, we believe the resulting civil unrest will make all the rioting we’ve seen so far in 2020 look like a picnic in the park… but that’s another story.)
There may be no other large corporation that’s more woke than Disney. The media giant has changed everything– its shows, movies, rides, and attractions, to conform to the Twitter mob.
Disney has now opted to remove the song “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah” from its Disneyland theme park.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah was released as part of Disney’s 1946 film Song of the South… and as you can probably imagine, Song of the South didn’t handle the issue of race as delicately as it would be treated today.
(I mean, the movie title has the word ‘south’ in it, so it is automatically offensive to the Twitter mob.)
OK great. So the movie offends the Twitter mob. But Disney is cancelling a SONG that was part of the movie’s original soundtrack. WHY?
According to Disney’s official response, “The removal of the song from Downtown Disney’s background music is part of a continuous process to deliver an environment that features stories that are relevant and inclusive.”
What exactly are the lyrics of Zip-a-dee-doo-dah that make it so inflammatory?
“My oh my what a wonderful day / plenty of sunshine headin’ my way.”
Rage! Fury!

The encounter was recorded until police apparently turned off the recording in order to seize the cell phone it was being filmed on. “Any device in the house, we’re taking,” the officer in the video says.

It is a breach of law, under Covid rules, to gather in large groups. And encouraging people to break that law is also illegal.

Revolution Is Being Institutionalized in the Federal Government
Paul Craig Roberts
Most Americans are too removed from reality to be aware of the peril that they are in. Critical Race Theory, an anti-white doctrine designed to produce revolution in the United States in order to overthrow “white rule,” has long held sway in the universities and public schools. On an Executive Order from former President Obama, critical race theory now has infiltrated the Federal government cabinet agencies including the Treasury and FBI within the Department of Justice. US government employees, if white, are required to attend Soviet-style self-denunciation “sensitivity training sessions” and acknowledge their inherent racism as a white person. One wonders that no one has told President Trump about this. Our taxpayer dollars are paying for indoctrination sessions that make white people unable to defend their race and their rights to equality under the law.
In no previous country in history that was overthrown had the rot reached the inner sanctums of the government itself.
Tucker Carlson, the only TV journalist remaining in the US, and his guest, a researcher into the undermining of the US government under Trump’s nose by critical race theory, show in the first nine minutes of Tucker’s show (soon to be taken down by the censors at YouTube)—www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK5mtY6twTQ —the extent to which the US government bureaucracy is being brainwashed against White Americans.
What you need to understand, although it will be difficult for you, is that in the Trump administration itself, revolution against white people is being institutionalized within the US Government.
Stay with the remaining 30 minutes of Carlson’s show. You will learn that a Democrat experienced at stealing elections says that is what voting by mail enables. The Democrats already know that they have lost the election. They intend to steal it by throwing out mail-in ballots from Trump areas. Even postal employees are participants in the theft. No Trump vote that is cast by mail will be counted.

A confluence of factors led to this week’s sell-off in markets. In the lead up to this week’s market top we saw all the classic signs: Weakening participation, highly overbought readings, vast technical extensions, historic valuations accompanied by extreme complacency and bear capitulations.
And make no mistake: This sell off was intense. $NDX dropped 10% within 2 days off of all time highs, one of the fastest and steepest drops from all time highs in history if not the most in history. High flying tech stocks such as $AAPL and $TSLA dropped 20% and 26% in 2 days as well.
A mere flesh wound in what was an unstoppable rally or signs of the end or the beginning of the end?
I’m discussing these issues and more of the macro context in a new edition of Straight Talk. As announced this week I’ve moved Straight Talk to a podcast format and in the next few days/weeks I’ll make sure it gets listed in your favorite podcast directories such as Apple Poscats, Spotify and Google Podcasts and perhaps others as well so you can follow new episodes from there as well.
For now here’s the newest edition of Straight Talk:
As I discuss some charts in the episode I post some here for reference.
Namely:
The $VIX. In August I published $VIX 46 when $VIX was trading at 22 calling for a breakout to come with a target for 46. While the target has not been reached as of this writing we did get a major breakout and the $VIX hit 38 on Friday an over 70% move from the original post:
Also in August I mentioned the $DJIA having potential of its February gap and this gap was filled this week and it produced a rejection from here:
Also in August I kept talking about the weakening signals underneath and a warning sign on tech specifically the $NASI pointing to a coming correction in tech:

And I kept talking about the lack of confirmation in the value line geometric index $XVG with its message:
I repeat: New highs in select indices have been highly deceiving. They were driven by a few mega cap stocks.
The $XVG index suggests a border market still in a bear market.
Based on that measure $SPX would be trading at 2,600 were it not for mega cap expansions in 6/7 stocks. pic.twitter.com/UFSi7HchgD — Sven Henrich (@NorthmanTrader) September 4, 2020
While indices kept driving to new highs in ever more extended patterns, similar to rallies we’ve seen before with this being the most extended since the year 2000. $SPX traded the highest above its 200MA and $NDX reached prices 33% above its 200MA:
All this as put/call ratios hit historic lows:
I repeat: New highs in select indices have been highly deceiving. They were driven by a few mega cap stocks.
The $XVG index suggests a border market still in a bear market.
Based on that measure $SPX would be trading at 2,600 were it not for mega cap expansions in 6/7 stocks. pic.twitter.com/UFSi7HchgD — Sven Henrich (@NorthmanTrader) September 4, 2020
While markets levitated to the highest disconnect from the underlying size of the economy ever:
Maybe, just maybe, 187.8% market cap to GDP was just a little bit too much. pic.twitter.com/wfENglvVaA — Sven Henrich (@NorthmanTrader) September 3, 2020
And finally as outlined in Bear Capitulation and Panic Buying $SPX was reaching historic resistance as evidence by 2 key trend lines, both were hit this week and $SPX rejected from there:
In the context of history is this a coincidence that this all happened to come together at the beginning of September?
After all, following the market top in March of 2000 the subsequent counter rally peaked on September 1 and the top in 1929 ended on September 3rd, as did now this rally. This rally topping on September 2nd and in pre-market on September 3rd could all be a coincidence of course, but only time will tell.
The similarity in structure though between the historic run leading to the top in 1929 and the last 13 years is striking:
Pretty wild actually. Not sure if it means anything, but the structural similarity, despite all the differences in time and global technology is pretty impressive. pic.twitter.com/GHs15JDT81 — Sven Henrich (@NorthmanTrader) September 3, 2020
I’ll be publishing a detailed analysis of the technicals and implications tomorrow Sunday September 5th in the latest edition of Market Videos (if not signed up yet you can do so via the link)

San Francisco keeps private gyms closed, but has reopened city-owned gyms. Furious owners call out city leaders.
San Francisco gyms have been forced by the liberal city to remain closed for months as part of measures implemented to reduce the spread of coronavirus. But city leaders have applied different rules for fitness facilities used by city employees.
According to KNTV-TV, city-owned indoor gyms have been open for months, all while privately owned indoor gyms have struggled to stay afloat. The result, KNTV reported, is “crushing private gym owners.”
Daniele Rabkin, who owns Crossfit Golden Gate, told KNTV the city’s actions are “shocking” and “infuriating.”
Rabkin reportedly learned that city-owned gyms had reopened after texting several police officers, offering them her gym to work out. The officers told Rabkin that the fitness center at the police station was up and running — with enhanced safety protocols, of course.
