| People Are ‘Dying In Hospital Corridors’ Under Britain’s Socialized Healthcare System |
| There’s new outrage overseas, as people are literally dying in the corridors of hospitals because of Britain’s overrun socialized medicine scam. In case Venezuela didn’t do enough to prove that socialism is a deadly joke on humanity, Britain’s healthcare system should be the last nail in its coffin.
The patients are dying in hospital corridors as safety is jeopardized by intolerable conditions say doctors in Britain, according to the BBC last week. More details continue to emerge surrounding thTuesday, January 23, 2018 |

| Speculating Our Way to Prosperity |
| We have been discussing the consumption of capital. Last week, for example, we concluded with:
“We see people eating more of the seed corn.”
Morally, socialism is the enslavement of man to man. If you create something, they want not just to take it from you, but to render you unable to create anything else. They declare that the ideal is “from each according to his ability.” This is about the most perfect expression of envy ever put into words. By envy, we mean the hatred of the good for being tTuesday, January 16, 2018 |

There could be more trouble than we ever imagined headed our way on November 4th when a bunch of folks who aren’t happy about Trump and Pence attempt to overthrow the government in a Communist revolution.
Groups like Antifa, Resist Fascism, and the Revolutionary Communist Party have been meeting for months to openly plan sedition and organize what they promise will be massive protests all over the country. Don’t be surThursday, October 5, 2017 |

| Bitcoin vs Dollars: Which One is a Fraud Which One is a Ponzi Scheme |
| Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan CEO, made quite a headline splash last week when he proclaimed “Bitcoin ‘is a Fraud“.
Is Bitcoin a fraud? Or are dollars, euros, yen, and yuan a collective set of frauds? Which, if any are Ponzi schemes?
Modern Finance is the Fraud
In an article that I wish I had written myself, Viktor Shvets, head of Macquarie’s AsiaPac equity strategy, accurately explains “Modern Finance”, Not Bitcoin, Is The Real Fraud.

| Bad Ideas About Money, Bitcoin, and Gold Report |
| Most false or irrational ideas about money are
not new. For example, take the idea that government can just fix the price of
one monetary asset against another. Some people think that we can have a gold
standard by such a decree today. This idea goes back at least as far as the
Coinage Act of 1792, when the government fixed 371.25 grains of silver to the
same value as 24.75 grains of gold, or a ratio of 15 to 1. This caused problems
because the market valued silver a bit lower than that.

 The Folly of Democratic Socialism  |
| How apropos that on the weekend of the annual convention of Democratic Socialists of America taking place in Chicago the socialist government of Venezuela is demonstrating yet again the inherent incompatibility of socialism and democracy. It was not just a coincidence, in other words, that twentieth-century socialism was defined by tyranny, dictatorship, and oppression – and not democracy.

 Holy Hell  |
| The abiding enigma of this tormented era remains: why has the thinking class of America abandoned thinking? The answer is: it’s the reaction to their own failure. Failure to do what? To produce the utopia that Gnostic liberalism promised — a perfect world based on altering human nature.
The result is an essentially religious hysteria, like the witch frenzies of Medieval Europe that were sometimes provoked by ergot poisoning — a fungus with toxic psychotropic properties that grew on the harvestedFriday, July 14, 2017 |

Things To Come  |
| As our politicos creep deeper into a legalistic wilderness hunting for phantoms of Russian collusion, nobody pays attention to the most dangerous force in American life: the unraveling financialization of the economy.
Financialization is what happens when the people-in-charge “create” colossal sums of “money” out of nothing — by issuing loans, a.k.a. debt — and then cream off stupendous profits from the asset bubbles, interest rate arbitrages, and other opportunities for swindling that the artifMonday, June 12, 2017 |

| Warning: The Last Two Times Stock Did This Were 2000 and 2007 |
| The number of S&P 500 companies reporting negative earnings is rising rapidly.
Why does this matter?
It matters because this usually signals right before a stock market peak.
Below is a chart illustrating the percentage of S&P 500 companies reporting negative earnings running back to 1999.
As you can see, we are now at levels that have usually occurred just before stock market peaks (the last two times we were at these levels were 2007 and 2000, respectively).

| Venezuelan Escalates “War on Bread” As Food Shortages Continue to Plague a Hungry Population |
| This article was written by Tyler Durden and originally published at Zero Hedge.
Editor’s Comment: In the great logic of governments, the Venezuelan dictator has essentially ordered an end to hunger by making a rule against food shortage. But no rule, no matter how strictly enforced, will work if there is no supply for the food. The shortages of imported food staples is the source problem here with the bread, not the conduct of the bakers, and yet they are facing new, and somewhat bizarre, impleSunday, March 19, 2017 |

| Trump's Top Econ Guy Just ANNIHILATED the Market's Growth Fantasy |
| The single biggest story this morning is Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin pouring ice-cold water on the market’s mania.
Since Trump was elected November 8th 2016, the market has gone almost straight up on the notion that an economic utopia has arrived and that GDP growth of 5% (yes, CNBC ran numerous stories on this) was just around the corner.
The mania has been incredible. The last time the market had a 1% down day was OCTOBER 11! From a daily RSI reading the S&P 500 is more overbought today Thursday, February 23, 2017 |
