The Piper Demands Rubles

He’ll get them too, either grudgingly from the fools in the EU or else, happily, from China and India. Karl Denninger writes about the wider implications of the new financial-monetary order for the free nations and the WereWest.

Medvedev, Russia’s deputy chairman of their Security Council, has specifically pointed out that our inflationary credit policies — in the US and Europe — will no longer be tolerated by either Russia or China.

‘No matter if they want it or not, they’ll have to negotiate a new financial order,’ Medvedev said. ‘And the decisive voice will then be with those countries that have a strong and advanced economy, healthy public finances and a reliable monetary system. And not with those who endlessly inflate their public debt, issuing more and more pieces of paper into circulation which aren’t backed by national wealth.‘

The United States and, to a large degree Europe as well, have run monstrous deficits for the last two decades.  Europe did it to “rescue” the PIIGS, if you recall during the time of the “great financial crisis”, and that “stimulus” has never been withdrawn.  The United States did the same sort of thing during the time of the housing blowup, which followed the tech wreck and again, that was never withdrawn.

Europe, as with the United States, thought they could add to their fiscal insanity without consequence by importing a whole bunch of lower-skilled people who couldn’t pull their own weight at or above median per-capita GDP in the name of “diversity”, never mind the cultural divide brought by such immigration that further exacerbated the fiscal cost of doing so beyond bare economics.

Read the whole thing. Tomorrow, Russia may well and truly start this thing rolling by turning off the gas to Europe. Either way, it’s a new world. And no, the idiots in Mordor will not do what needs to be done. You see, the conventional (wrong) wisdom in Gorgoroth holds that restoring the real dollar and nixing all the fake debts would destroy the economy, so it’s much better to simply destroy the economy. Please do your part by watching TV, jabbing^10, and voting this fall.

All Gassed Up

economy, gas, money

With nowhere to go.

It’s a little ironic: gas is the cheapest we’ve seen since almost the end of the previous century, and yet we have no place worth driving to.

U.S. crude prices fell to their lowest level since 2002, briefly dropping below $20 a barrel, as investors grew more pessimistic about oil demand.

West Texas Intermediate futures, the main U.S. crude gauge, were down 6.5% at $20.11 a barrel after hitting their lowest level since February 2002 on Monday. Brent crude, the global benchmark, fell 6.4% to $26.18 a barrel.

The taxes are up, but by the old metrics, going below $20 per barrel should yield gas under $1. I’ve seen it, where I am, for around $1.60. I’ve heard it’s $1.30 elsewhere. It’s gonna be like 1995 again! Minus the functioning society.

gas, lies, missiles, OPCW, Syria

Both sides of the story, smelling something like due process, are woefully out of taste in the West. Here, another story I’ve been on for nearly three years. Ivanka cried and daddy fired some missiles at Syria: first-class foreign policy, let me tell you. I did, in 2017.

A year after the fact, long after the weather reports and the first responder handlings disproved the official lie story, there was still (one-sided) debate about whodunnit. Now, ever more uncomfortable facts roll out.

In accordance with the FFM’s mandate, the report of the FFM does not draw conclusions about possible perpetrators. In the June 2018 decision, the States Parties mandated the Secretariat to put in place arrangements to identify the perpetrators of the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic. The IIT—established by the Conference of the States Parties—examines cases as specified in the June decision. The FFM Douma report falls into this category of cases.

Who needs positive identification or facts when the first daughter has tears? At least in the interim, there have been no additional loosey-goosey missile strikes anywhere. Oh…

The Importance of Paying Attention

gas, prepping

I’ve had my head deep in a project or two for the past two days. So it was that I did not hear about FSU’s monumental loss to Louisville. Also I didn’t hear about the Alabama gas pipeline break and impending shortages until this afternoon, late.

I was able to rush out and fuel the cars without much hassle. Yet I’m still a little disappointed in myself. I’m usually the one who knows these things first. I had a good excuse but still. Wow.

CNN.

And to think just today I was talking to a young relative who just started driving. I was telling him how costly and terrible cars are. The subject of gasoline came up. I even mentioned that, long ago in another age, I even had a gas reservoir at my house. (I did!) We talked about the last pipeline outage and how I was prepared for it.

This evening I found myself unprepared and out of touch. That’s bad. Yes, I was busy. But that is usually when a crisis strikes. This one will likely be over in a few days at most. Colonial could stand to lose %tens of million$ every day. They’re not going to be slow with a fix. By the way, if you live in AL, GA, TN, SC, NC, or VA, make sure you have a full tank now. The governor’s in the first two states have already declared emergencies.

The Chinese say crisis is the same thing as opportunity. I’m taking this opportunity to reprimand myself for two days of slack. Pay attention.
