Why Hardly Anyone Trusts The Virus Experts
Early in the pandemic, “trust the science!” could actually be used in a debate without attracting derisive laughter. But as the flip-flops, mistakes and, yes, lies have accumulated, a consensus seems to be forming that the health care authorities are no more trustworthy than the people running Congress or the Fed. For proof, let’s start […]

Social Media Purge 2021: Here Come The Unintended Consequences
As corporate social media platforms try to sterilize the global conversation, some funny-if-they-weren’t-so-scary statistics are emerging. Here, for instance, is a recent screenshot of conservative pundit Ann Coulter’s Twitter account. Note that her activity and notoriety are soaring (which you’d expect during a presidential election), while her followers diminish by 81,000. Does this make sense? […]
Mark Nestmann: We’re All (Hyper) Keynesians Now
From Nestmann.com: In 1971, President Richard Nixon supposedly told an ABC News reporter that he was “now a Keynesian in economics.” Nixon’s statement was an acknowledgment that he agreed with the ideas put forward by John Maynard Keynes. In his 1936 book The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money, Keynes recommended higher government spending […]

The Bailout Binge Begins
Incoming president Joe Biden just proposed that $10,000 of student debt be forgiven for each borrower. This sounds generous but is actually just the opening bid in a negotiation that will end in a very different, much more expensive place – and that will be repeated for many, many other groups of borrowers. Here’s how […]
Extreme Charts – January 8
This week’s theme is “spikes and crashes,” and why they’re great for gold and silver. Let’s begin with inflation, which is suddenly spiking after decades of illusory quiescence. What actually happened was that there was raging inflation, but only in “good” sectors like stocks, bonds, and real estate. Now price increases are migrating to the […]
Another Nail In The Coffin Of Big Cities
The riots, political turmoil, and other banana republic embarrassments seem to be ending – for now. So let’s get back to examining the real problems of this hyper-leveraged, dangerously-complex world.

The Two Best Interviews Of 2021
It’s a bit early to be declaring “best-ofs” for a year that’s just two days old. But this is a lock. Of all the great interviews sure to appear between now and December 31, none will be as meaningful or as well-done as these two. First, here’s Solari Report’s Catherine Austin Fitts explaining how the […]
Overconfidence Meets Impatience To Set Up The Crash Of 2021
Commentary on America’s overvalued stock market can be found pretty much everywhere these days. These arguments are compelling, and are becoming more so as stocks keep rising. The latest clue that we’re in yet another bubble is margin debt, which is money that investors borrow against their existing stocks to buy even more. A spike […]
Matt Taibbi: The Wokest News Stories of 2020
Excerpted from Matt Taibbi’s Substack: The year 2020 will be remembered in the real world for a terrifying pandemic, mass unemployment, a nationwide protest movement, and a historically uninspiring presidential race. The year in media, meanwhile, was marked by grotesque factual scandals, journalist-cheered censorship, and an accelerating newsroom mania for political groupthink that was equal […]
Tom Woods: Doctor accidentally tells truth about COVID, then pretends it never happened
From the Tom Woods Show: Two items for you today. First, I couldn’t resist this Politico headline from last week: “Locked-down California runs out of reasons for surprising surge.” After all, they’ve been among the most brutal, if not the most brutal, of the hard lockdown states. And yet they’re claiming that their hospital system […]
