The Ruling Class Sits atop a Boiling Pot

The Ruling Class Sits atop a Boiling PotJ.B. Shurk – In the history books, great social revolutions are often distilled into digestible reasons for their emergence.  Rising unemployment, widespread illness, cultural upheaval, and rapid technological change have all been diagnosed as the proximate causes for various sudden shifts in society.

If you look past those antiseptic historical autopsies, though, and concentrate on the feelings and passions of the people who experienced the revolutions firsthand, you will find another symptom present in every single movement for great change: popular rejection of ruling class lies.

Yes, We Have Gone Bananas

Clarice Feldman – The two big stories this week illustrate the corruption of the legal system and of the Democrat party, which controls key portions of it. As well, they illustrate the media’s continuing effort to deny us the truth we see with our own eyes.

The Indictment of President Trump

Yes, We Have Gone BananasNew York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr. has indicted former President Trump. Arraignment is scheduled on Tuesday.

America’s Animal Farm

America's Animal FarmJ. B. Shurk – Ordinary people have extraordinary power.  Don’t believe me?  Watch what happens if tens of millions ever decide to close their bank accounts all at once.  Or critical sectors of the workforce decide to stay home for weeks.  Or a sizable percentage of the population refuses to obey arbitrary and capricious government orders.  When citizens become fed up enough to take matters into their own hands, those with government-bestowed titles learn quickly how little power those vaunted titles actually have.

Tsunami of Truth Coming in 2018 [Video]

holterGreg Hunter – Financial writer Bill Holter thinks revelations from the so-called Washington D.C. swamp are going to intensify in 2018. Holter explains, “I would call what’s coming a tsunami of truth. . . . I think it’s going to affect the mood of the country.  It is going to enrage some people.  I think it will scare some people.  It will definitely affect capital flows.

There is a debate about arresting people and perp walks, whether that would be good or bad for confidence.  It’s my opinion it would initially be bad for confidence because there are so many people (that would be criminally charged) it would blow their minds.  It’s beyond anything that they even thought of.  So, I think confidence would initially break, but longer term, it is good for confidence because it will be a sign that the rule of law is coming back to the United States.”

Holter contends the politics of crooked Washington D.C. have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar. Holter says, “One reason I think the dollars has been weak since the beginning of 2017 is there were an awful lot of truth bombs that hit last year.  There is more truth with this four page memo from Congress that was just voted to be released.
