Creative Not Pragmatic

Over the last few days I have been mulling over using the word 'pragmatic' here - as in 'behind the front that this place shows, is a pragmatic...'

Except it is not pragmatic. 'Pragmatic' means matter of fact and practical, which yes, this whole place is that behind the scenes - but the word also contains the implication of lacking the intellectual or to the exclusion of the artistic, the idealistic, or the creative -, and it is anything but that.

This, I guess is a little bit
pragmatic...

So yes we are doing things at the end of the day for an Autism Youth Employment project - which is a pragmatic goal. But even in that there is no intention to be dull and boring and lacking the intellectual dimension or 'not creative.' Gee, far from it!

The front end (this place here where you are reading) is designed to be at least somewhat interesting as much as we are able to make things.

But if you have that intellectual sense about you, you will at a certain point not just be able to 'read between the lines' but suddenly get a surge of energy, a sense that there is a lot going on, and some of it will be very interesting to you personally.

Take this, for example - here is the promised V. 1:0 of the White Paper on Wines (still needs to be close-copy edited; probably has some typos in it):

Authentic Aged Wines in a Global War Economy Era

This document does not deal with the marketing of or the eventual selling of or even any of the storage requirements for keeping collector wines.

Nevertheless you will find it pretty interesting and it should lead your mind towards wanting to get a grasp of the practical (pragmatic - lol) aspects.

You trust me when I tell you this. In a world where there are all sorts of problems out there - and each and every day you have challenges in your life. 

This is less pragmatic...

...There are characters at your work who harbor no good will towards you (or likely as not, to anyone), there are costs of living pressures that eat away at plans you want to make and follow through on. There are economic conditions breaking apart social bonds, and there are people in ivory towers who have subverted the democratic ideal and act with powerful financial and monetary tools to advantage special interests at the broad public's cost.

People die because of Recessions and Depressions. The Fed has been accused by politicians in the past of being nothing but cold-blooded murderers in behalf of elite interests disconnected from ordinary people.

Farmers and saw-millers and cattlemen lost their livelihoods many times in the past, before the Twenties and then again in the Great Depression and afterwards too, and sometimes those industries or the privately-owned segments of those industries never 'came back.'

We are at the same spot again now.

But you are not at that spot. You are, yes, in the same times as others, and you are in among them, and are surrounded by them, but you are not accurately-speaking, exactly one of them.

Right now maybe you still don't see how this can be so...

Yet read the short text the link takes you to, and roll it all over in your mind what you read in there. Perhaps some thoughts and ideas will arise by themselves from out of your own thinking. Perhaps not yet.

Hindsight is of course, an exact science. But for those who have literally been to the future and are able to as it were, 'look back upon us now,' from that vantage point - it is an art what they do with what they have seen.

This is not pragmatic at all!

Remember this: property and estate are generic things now, and they are commodities - they are all packaged up into 'mortgage-backed securities' and sold as commodities for real.

Now commodities go down, because of volume and efficiencies of scale; they don't go up.

The story that there is a shortage of supply of real estate and a larger demand for it is a fairy tale told by the marketeers and banks.

And by politicians and by central bankers operating on the money supply.

Just keep all that in mind when you think you know what is going to happen next.

...There are always some, a tiny few, exceptions here and there.

But what are the metrics behind any idea that some real estate can or will appreciate ten or twenty-fold from here, in a few short years from now?

The expansion of the money supply required by such a scenario, would send the currency down the drain so fast your head would spin watching it all gurgle away.

And then the inflationary effects would be staggering.

So consequently those things will not be allowed to happen by a combination of government administrative actions and central banking money supply interventions.

But here is the thing - no one, not anyone in either government or the Fed (or any other central bank in the world) can 'control' inflation and nor can they control the monetary velocity circulation once it takes off, not by quick effects of policies alone.

Because.

You can't 'control' money. You might think you can, and you can certainly convince the dumb voting public that you can and have the power - or the powers - to do it, but you will always end up making excuses for why you didn't.

'Money' is what the users of it all say that it is.

At one point it was gold and also silver - according to an arcane or magical ratio of 1:13.5

At another point it was what Lincoln said it was because he had just won a Civil War.

And then later it was what Marriner Eccles (Chair, 1948) said it was because the US had 'won' World War II. At the start of WWII US national debt was around 8 billion - at the end of the War it was at around 280 billion. Debt on its own does not cripple a currency.

Right now you think you know what money is because you have (maybe) been paying 'it' (or something, some 'token') to your mortgage.

And then when enough players in the generic commodity world of 'mortgages' find they cannot pay it, why then the 'money' they are/were being asked to hand over will have less moral cause to them although it might yet still have essential monetary meaning.

Except not that either.

It will have restricted monetary meaning.

It will not have actual broad monetary meaning. 

What You Need To Know About, Right Now

The most highly-classified research and development programs a group of Western nations had been engaged in funding, and what you have not been told about, have to do with what are known as Tokamaks and Stellarators.

These are usually quite large pieces of equipment whose purpose is to generate and then confine or contain, magneto-hydrodynamic plasma - or MHD plasma fields in short.

Because a plasma is a continuum just like water is a continuum, once it interacts with any other magnetic field of a specific frequency, for instance a harmonic, something that is not necessarily even anywhere near to its own actual frequency level but could be much much much higher, the energy is transferred directly into the circulating plasma torus (in the example of a Tokamak containment).

Interior of a Tokamak device.
This is a real thing.

The putative 'conspiracy theory' satellite video of the disappearance of MH370, which shows three small white orbs shooting in and forming up around the center of mass of the plane, and then rotating around it and next lining up in a vertical arrangement before the whole group including the plane all completely evaporate from view - is arguably what a magneto-hydrodynamic plasma toroid could do to enable some displacement effect that we do not know about in ordinary scientific circles but that we can speculate about.

Tokamaks and Stellarators are real things and the science behind them is perfectly legit and completely real.

Probably one of the worst, most obscene misuses of science fiction or futuristic science theory at least, was the so-called 'Heaven's Gate' suicide cult - which was not originally actually called that by its founders and members. They referred to themselves as 'Overcomers Anonymous' believe it or not.

But these people were just a small group of private individuals.

MHD research and development is funded by large governments and huge - and in the case of their activity here - secretive corporations.

Human neurons and neural connections
generate their own light.
Fact.

The individuals committed suicide but it is unlikely that governments will commit suicide.

Much more likely that they will yes, 'suicide' themselves after a fashion (as the structure of government that they had been, in other words), only to turn up again in a different format and then having much greater power over you.

Whether all of this or even any of it, will simply remain in the realm of conspiracy theory, or whether it will suddenly emerge as an overt matter in the public's mind and in the lives of everyone, is irrelevant.

But if, if, anything along these lines begins to emerge very publicly, backed by 'official' recognition and sources and promises about the efficient availability of energy and a whole lot of other amazing benefits and technology things - it is a very sinister matter indeed, since a lot of the lead-up science and technology was hidden from you for a very long time.

How can people make public policy 'after the fact' so to speak, of some earth-shattering new development in science - when they knew all about it all along but without divulging it to you - but then hand you the 'solutions' to so many global problems without giving you the chance to assess the meanings of those 'solutions?'

Why is the juxtaposition of the old and the
run-down, with the new always
'art?'

Man is not God, just remember that.

And, to quote from Acts 10:34 'He is no respecter of persons...'

What does that mean?

It means that when you do good things and give what you are able, to people less well-off than you might relatively speaking be, then your actions are 'had in remembrance in the sight of God.'

He is no respecter of people no matter what their human position and status, otherwise!

Further,

'But in every nation he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness is accepted with Him.'

In every nation, not some nations.

The thing is only some people do good and are good.

It will never be that some man-devised system be it of government or a system of morality or anything else, will supplant a 'God-level' way of doing things.

ET Aliens (of the kind that might be speculatively linked to weird things like the MHD plasma field 'disappearing' of the plane full of humans) of a truly advanced nature cannot come to Earth governments, somehow selectively but without actual moral reasoning that is sound, and prefer those ahead of you as an individual who does good and is just and is good.

And certainly it is not tenable either that governments have acted secretly with certain corporations to further some really advanced technology, and then spring it on you along with a plan for domination and control in exchange for the presumed benefits to you of that technology.

But why then is 'God' better than human people? Why cannot humans devise perfect systems and ways to live, leaving out any necessity for there even to have to be such a thing as 'God' at all?

This is something to address to the Roman soldier Cornelius, who prayed for four days and then was visited by a man in bright clothes...

What makes it that you cannot be the Roman soldier Cornelius?

Why do you need a government to give you 'technology?'

Is four days too long for you?

The 'make a fortune in wines' White Paper is ready, btw. 

Governments and the criminal elites make barriers and hoops for you to climb over and crawl through.

You need do no such thing/s! ...To get where you want to go, to have what you want to have. 

You Will Be Highly Solvent

Of course, being only human, it is natural to sit on your hands and wait around, denying in your head what is happening in front of your eyes - until it is way too late. Again.

Done that kind of thing before, ever?

All of you who have read all of the texts linked up here since the beginning will already know that this 'Humane AI pin' thing-y was talked about by us years and years ago now. And that's because people saw it. From the future. Because that's what they can do.

The 'Humane AI pin' technology.

One of our clear objectives here is to enable everyone who comes here and reads to be solvent.

There is not much point carrying on about all cool stuff and that, and then people are being poor or broke!

So all that will achieve is to make people want for things they cannot buy or cannot have.

Sure it will seem from beforehand, that something like buying a few bottles of wine would never give anyone cash in their pocket - but that is not how this place works...

This place is literally about those individuals who can get up into the little white craft and disappear into the clouds and way up into the sky far beyond the human eye can naturally see and go to places very far away and even break through what the science of today thinks is some kind of time/space barrier.

Here is a very short list of things we said would happen before they did (actually happen):

• the now publicly-covered ET Alien flap inside of US officialdom
• Covid - a widespread biological weapon affecting virtually everyone
• Massive earthquakes and flooding
• The death of the Q of E although I remember saying anyone could have guessed that
• the Humane AI pin technology

I know that I personally held back people from talking about any and all of the conflict violence that has been happening all across the globe - but we could have 'gone there' and in quite some detail. It's just not very nice what has been going on and some of the real details (which are completely missing in the standard media too) are extremely disturbing.

Ukraine I know is listed in the very first book that we put out. And that was a long time ago now. Well before even there was any hint in the public space about the Hunter laptop or any of the Hillary emails about dealings with people inside of the Ukraine.

And there are some subtle other underlying issues also talked about in these 'fiction' narratives which I think virtually no one has noticed - but in one specific case we linked a certain matter to the Covid biological weapon and that is indeed the truth of it too: 'something' going on inside of most or all Western military ranks to do with gender actually has to do with how Covid can affect certain people. And that is never going to be admitted by any of the authorities or through anyone in official channels of information.

Yet none of these things are all that significant in the grand scheme of things necessarily, when it comes to your personal finances.

I made some money shorting insurance companies when earthquakes and fires and floods took out thousands of businesses and dwellings in New Zealand and right across the East Coast of Australia. 

But people's memories are short and that set of incidents hardly is recalled by anyone in the normal course of daily events any more and does not feature at all in people's frontal memories now.

The recent space transiting ballistic missile launch from somewhere in Yemen, aimed at Israel and shot down or at least destroyed in space - is literally the basis of one entire book. And we even specified that Iran was behind (or, at the time 'would be' behind) it. 

These wall-hangings are called
'erased heritage' tapestries.

The also very recent apparent splitting away by Russia and the US from their START commitments was discussed as well - but the reality is that the Russians certainly need to give themselves enough bilateral scope to explore their high-altitude EMP technologies inclusive of controlled nuclear explosions in near space atmospheric strata, and most of the rest of the nuclear safety protocols are well and truly still in place albeit they involve more secret units than anyone even in the Pentagon is generally privy to regardless of what they think they have clearance for.

Believe it or not there are a few people inside the FED who have absolute clearance to read cables (and all other electronic communications) from the CIA and the Department of State...

These people (at the FED) may have an inkling that there are other units even more top secret than anything handled by the orthodox CIA establishment. Although then again, who's to say they actually understood what it was they were reading.

Traditionally, probably for decades and decades, maybe since as far back as the Sixties sometime, investors have all assumed that it took quite a lot of initial investment dollars to be able to rationally expect to turn a meaningful profit out of any ventures in financial speculating - and by the time of the Eighties, leveraged futures was a big thing and anyone and everyone could get into those financial products. In other words, the mindset was automatically tuned to scale thinking: namely that yes you might make a percentage profit on something, on some position, but you needed to scale up to really clean up.

Not this one, but this one
is pretty good enough all
the same: Rutherglen Shiraz

However that perception is actually not based on any true fact in the final analysis.

The reality is because of monetarism becoming the guiding economic philosophy of central bank boards and committees everywhere in the Western World (never mind that none of them actually knows in what ways to apply monetarist concepts), there is way too much volatility and unexpected collateral consequences from the wanton but still deliberate artificial expanding and also contracting from time to time on the basis of thin air real economic reasons, of the M1 money supply - and so if you scale a seemingly sound position one day, next night you can lose bundles when a sudden market dislocation occurs because of an errant and arbitrary money supply decision of the FOMC and the FED itself that ran counter to the real factors-of-production equations or the authentic demand-supply numbers in the real market.

You are playing against more than just the other 'investor' animals in the market - you are playing against monetary policy which is being run by idiots.

But what never 'takes a haircut,' as the trader parlance has it, is the psychology of the people playing (or in fact attempting to rule and to control) at and from the top.

That psychology is stable and predictable in its instability of mind, in its lunacy.

If a snob thinks and believes that a certain French classic wine is worth $30,000 - then when they have a get-together of other idiots at some secretive spot in order to buttress their own self-delusions about how important they all are and what a great and also what a difficult job it is that they are all doing...

...it takes very little to introduce into the snob mentality the fear of missing out on the expected lifestyle of the privileged brats that they all are.

Doctors, many lawyers and virtually all judges today, and high-level commercial and 'money center' bankers are all nothing but snobs, and middle class snobs at that.

So, they buy French wine.

They own it, they stock it in their cellars, and regularly enough, they get others to open a few bottles of it for them to pour down their vile throats.

And they will continue to do that until there is no drinkable French wine left for them to drink.

And there is no one on the planet that will tell you that come a day, and soon, there will be no such thing as a drinkable French wine left still being produced in France.

'Once upon a time, a boy called
Jack, climbed up a beanstalk...'

However, the true concept of 'wealth transference,' is when the thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) in the pocket of some FED exec, goes into your pocket from out of theirs.

 

Now this is all just a game for people such as myself...

Right now most of you still are resisting accepting that there are such things as beings 'from not here.'

But I tell you this and I say it most sincerely - the world that you know and that you have been used to will not be around ten years from now. 

What that actual cataclysmic difference in the world of humans will be though, is not possible to say outright in just so many words here and now. 

Where you will start to use your own internal self-confidence in support of the previously unimaginable - is after you have acquired yourself a case or even just a few bottles of something, but not just any something, but a something we will talk about and disclose over coming days and weeks, and then you suddenly find that one day your possessions are worth impossible sums when you spent nothing but a hundred or so dollars to buy them...

It's much harder to accept that so-and-so really does hang out with actual literal ET Aliens and gets to fly around in little tiny space ships or even simply absolutely massive ones - when your pockets are empty.

And when your pockets are full of the beans of Jack from the Beanstalk story, and all of those beans are made of gold and silver and maybe rubies and topaz too and whatever else there is in the shops along Upper 5th Avenue, then you can bear to hear the Jack and the Beanstalk story again and again from actual Jack himself without being foolish and gainsaying ol' Jack because you have watched one too many Richard Dawkins and 'Professor' Brain Cox video clips already and think that you know everything about truth and what is true and what constitutes science fact as opposed to what is only very weak science fiction.

The Coming Inflation Disaster

I am very conscious that so many people around me right now will be exposed to the problematic forces confronting real estate and equities markets everywhere.

There are no places on the planet Earth right now that are completely immune to severe risks in the ordinary kinds of assets that people everywhere are constantly told are 'safe,' or 'as safe as houses...'

Georges Cinq, I think.
Yes.

Because we have all come to live in a monetarist central banking paradigm over the last forty years. And so ever since the tenure of Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, the expansion of the money supply is the most critical factor to the pricing effect of inflation on just about anything. But then, the fact that the monetarist mindset has taken hold and is entrenched in - literally baked into - the national debt structure of the funding of government, does not mean that the policy leaders really fully understand what monetarism actually is and how to manipulate circulation velocity with optimum economic and social/political efficiency using the monetary taps.

It is not going to be easy for me to discuss with you the coming massive problems and dire straits of the middle classes as they attempt to stave off their looming inability to stop spending on their presumed 'asset values' using debt.

At the same time of course, no commercial banks will ever reign in their own propensity to extend debt based on valuations of real estate. This lending of money by banks is the basic underlying cause of consumer goods and services inflation - since limitless new 'money' is chasing the limited supply of existing products.

Most people will at this point have a strong pre-commitment out of their own pockets to the position that their investment stance is sound and that all of their 'assets' are never going to be worthless as such.

In fact they are already much worse than simply 'worthless;' they have stolen decades of people's time and work-lives and will not be able to return anything to them on those things.

It makes a lot of difference...
What you serve things in.

You will never be able to shake people's hypnotized fixation on the idea that 'government' controls everything practically speaking, and that 'government' will do something to save everyone and that besides only 'government' makes new land available and can permit who gets to build what onto where. The theme with that kind of thinking being that houses/buildings are in short supply compared to the demand for them.

It is one thing for someone who has a large percentage of ownership of their land and house/s, and quite another to discuss what most ordinary people are doing. Most ordinary people have no idea what a sound equity position in a mortgage-funded piece of real estate is, and no self-discipline to stay away from so-called 'home equity loans.'

And there is absolutely no possibility that governments will ever cease wasting money on private-interest schemes and paying out vast sums of taxpayer money to lobbies.

Until there is a disaster.

When you buy a new house you pay an inbuilt premium for 'newness.' When you buy an old house you buy an expense and a depreciating asset. ...And a 'thing' that has a 'foot-print' of many square meters all of which are land 'rate-able.' And which is immobile. It cannot be moved away from some poor economic environment to another, better-off one.

When you buy a case of 100 year old port wine you buy something that can last another hundred years. ...Which occupies very little space or 'footprint,' and that has a very low maintenance cost if anything at all. And that is mobile in that you can, if needs be, move it around quite easily.

And which goes down in relative supply terms as the years pass (there's less of it available from such-and-such a particular vintage).

Now whether there is either a consistent demand for such non-essential premium items, or whether these things always go up in price just because of a rampaging money supply and secular inflation is moot.

The unthinkable of course, is that a bottle of 1,000 dollar vintage tawny port today will be worth 10,000 dollars in the near future.

The 1 million dollar house will not be worth 10 million dollars. But if it is - then so too will all the on-costs and land rates and capital gains taxes and everything else the government can suck out of the situation, have gone up equivalently, although more likely even much more than -.

My parallel projected forecast is unthinkable.

Which is namely that land and property will have gone down ten-fold or literally be worthless and less than worthless - and that wine of all things will have gone up tenfold.

You would think that it is wine where people's self-discipline goes out the window and where they over-indulge and do foolish things. Because that is what everyone is told from youth after all.

And they are told that property is the only safe form of investment.

And that property never goes down.

You are prudent and wise if you stay away from wine and stay entrenched in real estate investments.

No modern-era person respects the saying, well-known to people of the ancient past, that whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad, and then the second idea which goes along with the first -, that wine is the invention of God and sacred and that far from making a sane person mad, it has the capacity to let them gain truthful insights.

The gods do not suggest and nor do they like, humans with a lack of self-control. That is not the point here. 

This place actually has an odor
of pink musk lollies about it
in there, or real marshmallows
not the fake synthetic scent of that stuff!
The Palazzo Brancaccio.

They love people who strive to have self-control.

But more than just sometimes, freeing someone from the false and the fraudulent conceptions about 'self-control' (and more often control by others), is the pathway to being able to see what is true and being able to distinguish it from what is abundantly, yet tragically, seemingly invisibly false.

People have zero memory.

No one today in the world of market commentary recalls that their idol Paul Volcker, completely stuffed up his 'brilliant genius' plan to shift to a monetarist view of economics and central banking and how to 'stop inflation' - and that he by mistake instead created the biggest recession since the Depression and guaranteed that Carter lose the election then, pinning everything on the political establishments, when it was all due to his own arrogance and ignorance of monetarism and the mechanics required to control inflation.

In the same way, no one recognizes that governments and central banks have totally 'lost the plot' so to speak, and moreover, have actually lost control of the near-term future outcomes to do with insane credit expansion using 'free money' for stupid assets such as 'real estate.'

You cannot eat a brick.

As the pharaohs all found out in their end.

Rich Muslims in London do not bow down and worship Allah; they bow down and worship money and middle class mercantilism and property development and real estate investment.

Hamas does not bow down and worship Allah, hoping to kill all the Jews and overrun Israel heralding the return of Isa ibn Maryam, ascending the minbar at Damascus, Syria and signalling the End of the World. They are instead obsessed with fighting the Jewish-dominated United States economy (so they think that it is) out of a sense of envy and jealousy and competition for worldly power - whereas a single crate of wine would do that on someone's personal level of things.

...He tramples out the Grapes of Wrath and you all fall for it every single second of the day if not for angels holding you back from falling into the Abyss.

I am right here and what I say is how it will be.

The only people getting out of here now are a handful, a lonely few. Could be, maybe, you. And not too many else.

There is no one on this planet who can tell you by strategic guesswork, or just wild attempts at prophecy, that Algerian terrorists do have nuclear devices with which they can, and they will, destroy French vineyards.

The only person who can know that kind of thing for a given, and can tell you it, is someone who has been to the future and that is only possible in little white Tic Tacs. LOL

And oh, btw, there is not a goddamn thing 'you' or Chris Wray or anyone else can do about it to stop people like me from going there and saying whatever it is that is waiting there for everyone.

Not a real pic...
Gee it's close but.

Pay me money - um ten, no now it is over a hundred million dollars, and I will show you and take you and give you access and pics and everything. Why t h not??

I can deliver. And guess what, there's not too many out there by the same token who can meet my price back. They in fact, cannot deliver.

Elon Musk is not smart enough although he would be tempted if he knew.

Do you think there is any chance whatsoever, that what I just said will not come to pass?

Ya think?

Maybe you should go back and re-read those books we offered categorically explaining about the Iranian military satellites and 'rainbow bomb' ballistic missiles, and specifying Ukraine as a key war zone, and literally showing you where and when the 'biological weapon' was released in Hong Kong (was in HK, not Wuhan) - and all of those things before they happened!

You think there is any chance at all that the French wineries will be able to stay intact?

LOL

And like, people still think there is no 'evidence' for ET Aliens, right.

And not TEOTW either, right?

But wait, what if what I said here happens? What then -, in your mind... 

What are guys like me really doing though, right?

Well for one thing I like to find great things and then I like to preserve them.

I don't throw good stuff away.

'I.'

'Us' I guess, really.

How about you?

The Fight Between Media And Money

Now considering that this place now does have some basic exposure to the world of mainstream commercial practices, then you'd have to expect that whereas maybe in the distant past we would have just outright said 'Oh so-and-so literally is a such-and-such -,' well today we would be inclined to be a touch more circumspect.

Personally I was this morning rather pleased to find out that not only is the author Frederick Forsyth totally alive, but that he is in very good health. One of his friends was someone whom I was vaguely acquainted with, albeit only for a brief period quite a long time ago, namely, David Tang -, Sir David as he became. Sadly Sir David passed away and I had presumed all of that generational group of Londoners were not with us any more but I am of course quite wrong.

Georges Cinq restaurant in the evening...

Forsyth is someone who, having also worked for Reuters, as Ian Fleming had done, was extremely good at researching his material and most of what he converted into fictional spy novels was derived from strict fact and hard reality.

...Now I mention all of this to point out that all of your corporate media, just about everywhere at the 'heavy-hitter' end of it - and that includes educational publishing (for schools and colleges) and all kinds of computer data companies involved with political analysis and party campaigning - is owned by just one German family. As those familiar with Forsyth's work might be awake up to what I am talking about here...

Not only that, ever since Saatchi & Saatchi self-destructed, virtually all of the heavy-hitters in CRM ('customer relationship management') - something also used by politicians and governments - is owned by exactly the same family.

Meanwhile though, the Bank of England has gone to sleep, and the German Bundesbank, at one time the largest central bank in Europe but now only another member of the ESCB, has sat on its hands on the sidelines as Germany went to economic Hell.

Right now too, the US Federal Reserve is committing suicide - well, actually, what I mean to say is bidding the US citizen to commit suicide over the obtaining national economic conditions and some kind of bizarre prevailing inflationary-positive policy mindset about money and interest rates.

So on the surface you might have thought that there was no friction at all right now between corporate interests who engage in controlling the political atmosphere and the entire sphere of politics as seen by the general public - and central banks who are all meant to be independent and who operate from their chartered objective of protecting the stability of the national currency of whatever nation each central bank looks after.

Nice street lamps in
Paris.

You will observe, I trust, how that recently, and despite my own private view, our 'friends' categorical stated that gold would not rise markedly in the current circumstances of nascent World War III (we are now in that War) - and that they were right and my private view was wrong.

Well our friends go on to say that many things are inclined to happen in world affairs, which are totally outside of anyone's capacity to realistically predict them from standard analysis or from any known or knowable data at any given immediate present moment.

I will return to what I have just now said here in this post, at some future time, and underscore those elements that one might have understood from reading any of the references earlier on in here (this post) - and which will stand out as very stark reminders that there is simply nothing that I have ever said here or elsewhere on the matter of these 'people' that did not come strictly from actual facts and real incidents. 

And no less will those things impinge on the prices and values of French classic wines, than certain other, if associated things that will transpire, also serve to drive a wedge once more between central banking and vast monopolistic corporate interests who specialize in lobbying all sides of politics, with the result that the cost of money will begin to reflect the idiotic and insane cost of capital when multiplied by the theoretical size of liquidated asset values and hence supposed 'dollars' to be raised as debt from real estate prices which are many many multiples of their true clearance values at purely supply and demand considerations.

In short, things happen which change the dynamics of even very cozy banking-political-private wealth relationships. And things can suddenly happen that alter the whole economies of nations - as we have seen be the case with a biological pathogen for example recently.

Without such fore-knowledge it is impossible to predict the future values of something will rise, which do not present any evidence from natural dynamics that they will rise in prices or value.

Going on current evidence, you would not say that interest rates will go to massively higher numbers and you will be inclined to harken to the media's drumbeat that 'this is near the end of the tightening cycle' and that interest rates will 'go back down in a year...'

What 'tightening cycle?' What such thing is that?

Look you're only
truly wealthy when you

Inflation is entirely a monetary-caused phenomenon, and the government (governments everywhere) have not stopped expanding their debt since forever and that is the express reason there is inflation - since so much more new money (by means of debt contracted with commercial banks by people and companies) has driven up purchasing and purchasing power of only existing levels of goods and services with zero authentic capability of anyone to produce new goods and services at the rate that governments and banks can issue fantasy 'dollars!'

While fantasy interest rates were 'zero' or close to zero (remember when it was mooted that 'interest rates could go negative?'), it did not appear that there was inflation being experienced - that is, on-costs were not rising as asset prices were rising. 

But the central banks knew exactly what they were doing back then. And they were very happy to support low costs of living and low on-costs (wages and energy, fundamentally) in order to drive up debts.

Now they have you in debt.

And you spend because you have access to borrowings against fantasy valuations of fixed assets - aka debt.

Well, spent when you had access to debt at cheap prices. And yet, cheap while they appeared to be, the quanta was always much much larger than say it would have been even in the Go Go Eighties.

So now you have more absolute debt and rising absolute costs of debt.

Let's see how you get out of that mess. 

And by 'you' I mean the average citizen everywhere around the Western World.

Let's see you sell every single condominium especially those half-built ones where the builders for some odd reason went broke, and my my, how many of those there are around the place these days...

In other words, lets see the clearance rate in the market actually happen.

Technically, there still are ways politicians can negotiate a way out of the mess for the average mortgage holder...

Louis Vuitton was not ever a genuine 'luxury' product company in the first place anyway.

They were a company pandering to the easy credit and the debt-running middle classes who thought their properties were 'wealth' and wanted to spend cash (debt source cash) on stuff to impress their 'friends.'

Richebourg Leroy is luxury. So is Penfolds Grange.

One is scarce and the other is good.

But what I could tell you about future 'scarcity' though is coming from people with little white Tic Tacs and no one else believes that kind of thing!

LOL

I mean you don't believe that do you?

I certainly could tell you about the future but it's very very unpleasant stuff. And I would get instantly booted from the platform and all the ad revenue would be taken away.

And then, then, afterward, when 'it' happened (IE the thing/s I said about the future events), no one would apologize.

But this time though, they would not apologize for two separate and different reasons which I am not going into. Am I??

...Don't take the lyrics of this song too seriously. It's just a hypothetical. It all still very much depends - on this or that, on whether it be in the Spring or Fall, and whether the little guys from Basel and their cousins or is it their brothers from Zurich, had met yet in those darkened evening places they meet, wherever it is that it is, and all decided.
