Fake Vaccines…and their Unintended Consequences

Trust in the American government – a massive blob – is at an all-time low.  But that doesn’t mean it can’t go lower.

For example, President Biden’s recent efforts to dial up the fear gauge on the omicron variant, warning of a “winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated,” are clearly dishonest.  Virus breakthroughs of prophylactic mRNA vaccines are widespread.  Biden’s words are political.  Not words of honest counsel.

The mRNA vaccine, after several rounds of coronavirus mutations, has proved to be a major dud.  Does anyone believe a thing Biden says?

The public-health complex, like the overall blob, has been visibly disgraced due to deliberate lying and corruption.  The National Institute of Health funded the Wuhan lab’s dangerous gain of function experiments on the tax payer’s dime.  Fauci lied, again!

The blob, and its army of dependents, are fed by damaging fiscal and monetary policies.  These fake money policies – somewhere on the order of a combined $8 to $10 trillion over the last 24 months – have wrought raging price inflation.  They’ve also wrought extreme wealth disparity and a grossly stratified society.

The Solution to Inflation

President Biden and his cohorts in Congress and at the Federal Reserve have delivered an early Christmas present.  They’ve given Americans the gift of raging price inflation.  The cost of just about everything has gone through the roof.

Consumer prices, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI), have increased 6.8 percent over the last year.  This marks the largest 12 month surge since the period ending June 1982.  In truth, the CPI is rising at more than double the rate of what’s officially reported.

Can the Fed stop raging price inflation without triggering a deep recession?

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers doesn’t think so.

Summers, if you didn’t know, has an axe to grind.  He always fancied he’d be Federal Reserve chairman one day.  But he’s too much of a dirty fellow to ever get the job.

Summers is better suited to the ivory tower of Harvard academia.  There, sequestered from public life, he can play Fed chairman from the ease of his lounger.  He’s good at it.

Summers is also a paid contributor to Bloomberg.  For entertainment purposes, Bloomberg makes a habit of dripping out utterance from Summers when the time is right. Continue reading

The Joy of Stealing

I’ve been caught stealing
Once, when I was five
I enjoy stealing
It’s just as simple as that

Well, it’s just a, simple fact
When I want something,
And I don’t want to pay for it

I walk right, through the door
Walk right through the door
Hey all right!
If I get by, it’s mine
Mine all mine!

Been Caught Stealing, by Jane’s Addiction

“No Cause for Alarm”

Robbery.  Theft.  Stealing.  These actions take many different forms.

There’s fraud.  There’s force.  There’s white collar theft.  There’s crafty pickpockets.  House burglaries.  Insurance swindles.  Breaking and entering (B&E).  Hanoi-style.  Credit card scams.  Government kickbacks.  Hold ups.  Carjacking.  Embezzlement.  And much, Much More…

They all generally roll up to the same thing.  Taking another person’s property (including money) without permission or legal right. Continue reading

The Upshots of the New Housing Bubble Fiasco

“The free market for all intents and purposes is dead in America.” – Senator Jim Bunning, September 19, 2008

House Prices Go Vertical

The epic housing bubble and bust in the mid-to-late-2000s was dreadfully disruptive for many Americans.  Some never recovered.  Now the central planners have done it again…

On Tuesday, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) released its U.S. House Price Index (HPI) for September.  According to the FHFA HPI, U.S. house prices rose 18.5 percent from the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021.

By comparison, consumer prices have increased 6.2 from a year ago.  That’s running hot!  But 6.2 percent consumer price inflation is nothing.  House prices have inflated nearly 3 times as much over this same period.

Here in the Los Angeles Basin, for example, things are so out of whack you have to be rich to afford a 1,200 square foot fixer upper in a modest area.  Yet the clever fellows in Washington have just the solution. Continue reading
