“I love the inflation,” says the man who told the rubes that if elected, the cost of energy and food and housing would all decrease mightily. You might even say hugely, to use one of the man’s favorite words.
Well, as everyone who has to buy things like gas and food knows, the cost of those necessary things has gone up hugely, especially recently. And the man who is most responsible for this loves it, he says. Just as he loves Lindsey Graham, the homosexual man who loves to reference the Bible in support of the wars he loves, even though the same Bible condemns men who “lie” with other men. Lindsey loves war even more than Trump does (and the rubes vote for both because they believe the Bible tells them they must).
Trump loves inflation because it is what drives the stock market economy of grift. It is a boon to those with the means and in a position to speculate, profiting off the misfortune of average people just trying to do an honest day’s work to pay their bills. These latter, ironically, constituted the bulk of Trump’s political support during his 2024 Comeback Tour. No doubt this is why the disappointment – which is becoming anger – is both deep and welling up. Biden was an awful jefe but he was at least an honest one – in the sense that we all knew what was coming. It would have been the same had Harris become jefe rather than Trump. Unpleasant, certainly.
But not unexpected.
Trump is a dishonest jefe – but that does not go far enough. He is a betrayer of stupendous stature. He is even worse than your best friend who turns out to be banging your wife in his truck while you’re working to pay the bills. He’s unashamed of it, too. The kind of guy who would boast of it.
Is he just unhinged? That is possible. He is after all 80-years-old and while that dees not mean he’s necessarily suffering from dementia, the age does correlate with the onset of second childhood. A symptom of this beginning is the blurting out of things best kept to oneself, such as “I love inflation.” And “I don’t think much” about Americans’ financial struggles. A person fully in control of his thoughts would surely not utter such thoughts, because doing so serves no good purpose. It is gratuitously obnoxious. He either has to know this – in which case he’s an almost indescribable asshole – or he can’t help saying it out loud, in which case it is evidence of etiolating dementia. Or – another possibility – almost unbelievable stupidity. The kind of stupidity that is displayed by a not-smart person who believes himself to be smarter than everyone else.
None of these options is pleasant to contemplate. None of the consequences are pleasant to contemplate.
For Trump, of course, there are no meaningful consequences. He is a billionaire whose wealth has increased hugely since he acquired the power to direct the grift to his benefit and that of his family and close associates, including his son – who though only just 20 years old is already, mirable dictu, reportedly worth $150 million, which means he does not have to worry about the cost of anything – ever. He could stop “working” today and not have to worry about the cost of anything for the next 60-plus years or however long he lives. The main source of this munificence? He is “co-founder” of World Liberty Financial, which profited hugely from the crypto currency grift. It is what Dire Straits meant when they sang about money for nothing and chicks for free.
Barron has not yet signed up to fight for freedom, either. That’s for losers who need to figure out how to pay for things. That is, people like you and I – who do not “love inflation” because we are not in a position to manipulate it and so to benefit from it. Trump’s class of people get the inflated money first and use its inflated buying power to buy up things and leverage things that by dint of this end up costing you and I more – and you and I do not have the inflated dollars to offset these costs. By the time the inflated dollars reach us, they have already lost much of their buying power and that waning continues the longer we hold onto those dollars, pitiably trying to save them – which is something like trying to save the Titanic by scooping buckets of water off the rapidly submerging forecastle.
The upside is we know where we stand now. Like the man who finds his wife in the truck with the guy he thought was his best friend.

You are correct, Norman, thank you.
Honey is a great hedge against inflation. I’d take it over silver and gold any day of the week. But it’s the owners of the income producing assets who are making bank through all of this. If you want to be like them, just become a house flipper or whatever. If you don’t want to be like them, raise bees or grow fruit trees if you’re lucky enough to be in an area which experiences rain. Great book apropos of the times right now – Your Sins & Mine, by Taylor Caldwell.
RE: ” I’d take it over silver and gold any day of the week.”
Ah-hem:
“When we adjust for inflation, we see that the price of honey actually peaked in 1974, when it cost $3.05 (in today’s money), and was at its lowest in 2000 when it sold for $0.94. […]
the most current price [is] $2.41 “.
https://moneynotmoney.com/historical-price-of-honey-in-united-states/
Sure, honey IS good stuff. A great hedge against inflation? Idk.
What’s propping up that $2.41? …The Fed? Idk. Idk.
I wonder if this betrayal is driven by fear from blackmail and by death.
Notice Trump’s rhetoric before the Butler incident and notice it following. He went from being a massive critic of neocon warmongering to its greatest proponent. I’m sure our best little friends in the Middle East and their agents (I’m convinced that too many of the tribe have no loyalty to this country) here let the Trumpster know that we can take you out at any point with one of our disposable, brain-addled, MK Ultra sleeper zombies.
The inexplicable errors and lapses committed by the Secret Service at Butler show they’ve been either compromised or deliberately staffed with inferior personnel (like Emmett Fitz-Hume and Austin Millbarge in Spies Like Us).
Trump is an unrepentant, narcissistic man who is mentioned thousands of times on the Epstein files.
It still irks me that Trump betrayed his base so spectacularly, but I think he was sent by God, but not in the way our biblically illiterate and heretical “Christian” Zionists friends think.
I believe he is a great chastisement, much as God allowed awful kings to rule Israel when the people became sinful, proud and unrepentant.
The good is he proves that our whole system is so rotten and corrupt that reform is impossible. Voting provides the illusion of choice. As Dennis Reynolds said about politics on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia:
“Am I supposed to vote for the Democrat who’s gonna blast me in the ass… or the Republican who’s blasting my ass? Politics is just one big ass blast. It is a coast-to-coast, nationwide ass blast.”
Trump is, and always has been, a wall-kissing jew.
Which explains EVERYTHING about him.
Morning, Letmepic –
I think anyone who kisses/humps the wall ought to be automatically barred from holding office in this country. It’s embarrassing. A demonstration of fealty.

There are many economists who discount the need for a monetary standard based on precious metals (silver or gold) but a standard is the only way to keep the banksters and country treasuries honest. In the old days, the only way to “short” a coinage was to “shave” the edge from silver or gold coins; hence the process of “reeded edges” on coins (grooving the edge of coinage) which was instituted to keep the banksters and everyone else honest.
Now, back to a gold standard…
The same amount of gold that would purchase a car in 1920 will purchase a car today. This is due to gold having intrinsic value which is free from manipulation or the printing of “more dollars” (which reduces the true value of every existing dollar).
The last thing the banksters or world leaders want is a monetary standard that (((they))) cannot manipulate.
We know who (((they))) are…it is long overdue for a country 110 to institute the process…
RE: “a standard is the only way to keep the banksters and country treasuries honest.”
…Why does that seem a bit untrue?
banksters = honest?
country treasuries honest, a.k.a. honest politicians?
Seems like, it takes more than P.M.’s,… it takes an unconquered honest people. …Have you seen many of those lately? …Blue greasy hair,… a flare for the frivolous.

Once Elon has floated his latest con, complete with ‘free energy-powered orbital data centers’, scenic flights to Saturn for the peasants at Greyhound bus prices, and endless abundance for everyone thanks to Optimus robots (possibly still remote-controlled from India) – with no need to work, of course – he and The Don will be sending every American that DOGE check, many times over!
I’m told tens of thousands of predominantly young Americans – presumably all Tesla owners – are lining up to ‘invest’ in SpaceX; an IPO whose prospectus several serious hedge fund managers have described as ‘a science-fiction novel’.
Reality and physics be damned. That’s so yesterday.
BTW, I can’t wait to see the long-overdue ‘Roadster’ and just how its real world specs will turn out to be. Because doing 600 miles per charge, with jet plane-style acceleration to boot, means Elon must have discovered that ultimate, physics-denying battery at last!
Maybe Trump will be getting a Roadster for himself, too?
The official $TRUMP meme coin reached a peak
all-time high price of $73.00 to $75.35 per coin
on January 19, 2025, one day before Trump
was inaugurated for his second presidential term
As of June 11, 2026, $1.75
The price decline tells you almost everything
you need to know about Grump, our corrupt
gangster president
The $TRUMP coin was never meant to be an investment. It was a money laundering dodge around accountability for investors in Gaza via the Board of Peace. Even though dollars and euros are funny money they still leave a trace. The $TRUMP coin generated $10 billion most likely from rich oil sheiks and global bankers behind it all.
This POS is owned, lock,stock and barrel by the heebs, they got him by the balls for the kid fuckin and the bankruptcies. Sad part is he’s 4 billion richer for mocking us in some sick jew ritual humiliation. As they merger US military with genocidal idf, people better realize how far fucking gone this country is. They won’t. Heeblot is gonna tell me it ain’t all jews. It’s just 99.9% of them. Bibi’s speech in finks bar summed it all up.
I agree with you quite often Celticbiker.
You might want to stop letting helot live in your head rent free. He’s not all bad. He’s still learning that the leading cause of anti-semitism is jewish behavior.
You guys crack me up.
Nary ever a word about Zionism. As if it never existed?
https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/israelis-protest-gaza-war-netanyahu-wftw9xpj
Nothing about Zionist/Christians in America, neither.
Odd, that.
Nobody that knows anything talks about zionism because that would be akin to calling tentacle #4 of the octopus evil while ignoring the other 7 tentacles. What are you, some kind of re-re that thinks it’s cool to target the “zionists” while leaving the globalists, talmudists, communists, satanists, feminists, child traffickers, LGBTQers, all ignored? All those constructs exist independent from “zionism”, and all are jewish constructs. Grow up, kid.
And yes, if you pay attention, we quite often call out the judeo-zio-cuck-‘Christians’ quite often.
Jews and jew apologists can sod off.
A bit off-topic, but since you included the Dire Straits music video, which was the original version:
Have you noticed, when hearing that song on the radio, that it has been censored? In one version, the word “faggot” was bleeped out, like it was a swear word. In another version, the whole stanza containing that word was removed.
I have heard a similar censorship of the Bob Seger song, Turn the Page. In that censored version, this stanza was removed:
Most times you can’t hear ’em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, “Is it woman, is it man?”
And you always seem outnumbered so you don’t dare make a stand
I guess anything that might be offensive to the LBGT crowd is now verboten.
I noticed too, and it was recent, at least around these parts. 1984 shit right there.
Most of the stations in Western WI still play the words, including the Stones’ Start Me Up (You made an old man cum,) and Aerosmith’s Mama Kin (Smoking Tea) line.
Dead man come.
I would like to point out that there is absolutely no such thing as “inflation”. “Inflation” is yet another propaganda word that is used to obfuscate the truth from the person hearing the word.
It doesn’t, by matter of fact, get more expensive to produce goods over time. It gets CHEAPER to produce goods over time. Remember when flat screen TV’s first came out, and a 40″ 720p set was several thousand bucks? Now, you can pick up a 65″ 4K tv for like $300 bucks.
If “inflation” existed, that wouldn’t be possible. There is only 1 force at work when it comes to the value of the dollar, and that is DEVALUATION.
One might ponder, but aren’t they the same thing, in essence? The net overall effect of the 2 words might be the same, but the way we PERCEIVE those effects changes with the word being used.
When you hear “inflation”, you perceive some external market force that is a natural result of just living and buying things. This is patently not the case.
When you hear “devaluation”, suddenly there is a perceptual shift. Suddenly, it’s not some outside force causing the change. You can now perceive that the “devaluation” comes from someplace much different.
Someplace like the people PRINTING the money.
When America was on the gold/silver standard, our money was a little different. It had the word “CERTIFICATE” on it. That word was important – it was CERTIFIED to be worth that much in gold or silver.
Take a look at your money today. The word “certificate” DOES NOT EXIST. The word that DOES exist on our money today is “NOTE”. The word “NOTE” was NOT found on certificate money.
A quick Jewgle search will reveal that the word “NOTE” as it pertains to money means AN INSTRUMENT OF DEBT.
In other words, gold and silver backed money was certified to represent real-world existential elements of gold and silver. If you had a $10 silver certificate, it was certified to be backed by $10 worth of actual silver.
And your $10 today represents $10 worth of DEBT.
Here, folks, is the REAL source of the “national debt”. The “national debt” arises from the very issuance of DEBT NOTES, or what we call “money” today. Thus, it is 100% impossible to pay off the “national debt”, because to do so would require them to print more money. Which means more debt. It is literally an endless circle of debt you can never pay.
The differences between these 2 methods of issuing money is what causes either consistency in value, or DEVALUATION.
When money is backed by metal (ie commodities), there is a NATURAL INCENTIVE to maintain the value of that money. Why? Because if the value drops, you can simply exchange your certificates for gold and silver with someone else. So, it behooves the issuer of metal-backed money to maintain the value of said money, or they lose control of the market.
When money is issued as DEBT, as our fiat currency is today, there is a NATURAL INCENTIVE to devalue the money. Why? Because when the value tanks, you have to go looking for more money. And so, they can now loan you some more money. With interest, of course. This is how banks (especially jew central banks) make money – by issuing loans at interest.
And so, it becomes clear that the whole reason they desperately wanted to get us off the gold and silver standard, IS SO THEY COULD ENSLAVE US WITH ETERNAL DEBT WHICH CAN NEVER BE PAID.
What’s truly funny is this is literally our entire monetary system in a proverbial nutshell, but so very few people grasp how or why it works the way it does. This is how and why it works the way it does, folks.
There is no “inflation”.
There is only “devaluation”. And every time we use their jew-word replacement “inflation”, we do ourselves an intellectual disservice and at the same time do our own little part to keep us enslaved to this nonsense debt money system.
Anytime you hear someone use the term “inflation”, you should take it upon yourself to correct them. Because the fact that “inflation” doesn’t exist is demonstrable. Our money is devalued – daily, weekly, yearly, so that what we earn today will be worth less tomorrow. It is intentional and by design, and it is the #1 thing in this life that we should be resisting with every tool at our collective disposal. Including extreme violence.
You make some good points but most people do not think in terms of high finance. All most people care about is buying food, gas, and paying for rent or the mortgage. Of course we have to keep up with the Joneses if we are concerned about social/economic status, which most people are.
I have a few words of advice to people who are concerned about finances; 1)Don’t drink 2) don’t smoke 3)don’t gamble 4)don’t use drugs and 5)don’t consort with prostitutes.
If you follow my advice you’ll have plenty of money for food, rent, gas etc, etc.
If we did away with the jewbank fiat money system and went back to the gold/silver standard, everyone would have money for food, rent, gas, booze, cigarettes, the few odd lottery tickets, a fat bag of weed, and the occasional hooker.
We don’t need to “do without” to live good lives. We need to take control of our money system away from the jews to live good lives.
And for the record, this really isn’t “high finance”. It’s far from a master class in Austrian economics. This is literally grade school economics – it just seems like “high finance” because the jews own our schools as well as our banks.
Morning, letme –
I don’t disagree with any of your points. That said, elimination of income and property taxes would restore America in the sense that it would be possible for anyone willing to work had during their 20s and 30s to be a home-owner by their 40s and no longer have to work in order to be able to just live.
Elimination of property tax is an absolute must. Property taxes aren’t just a plank of communism, they are the actual CORE of communism. The abolition of private property is the singular goal as per Marx himself. Anyone that isn’t aware that property taxes are the absolute elimination of property rights and thus are the very core tenet of communism hasn’t done even the slightest bit of study on the subject and they should just be quiet and let the grown-ups talk.
As far as income taxes go, there is no law requiring 90% of Americans to pay income tax. The Supreme Court has stated that federal income tax is an EXCISE TAX, and as such it is a privilege tax. First and foremost, as an American citizen, you have the absolute right to earn money in the united states. Foreign nationals DO NOT have that has a “right”. And so, if you read the tax code and understand what is being said, “income tax” is to be paid only by CORPORATIONS and FOREIGN NATIONALS.
You have to stop being afraid of the IRS. The simple fact is, most people have flat-out been DUPED into thinking they have to pay income tax.
I haven’t paid federal income tax in over 20 years. If I was doing something wrong, they would have come knockin by now. Where people get into trouble is when they are acting as a corporation (business owner) and don’t file, or when they file and either lie and hide income, or fail to pay period. If you tell your employer that you’re exempt, and fill out your W4 stating “exempt” right on it, they won’t take any federal income tax from your check, and then you don’t file income tax returns because that would just be moronic.
If you work a regular job and you’re paying federal income tax? You should quit that shit right now, lol, it’s dumb.
Excise tax which means permission to do something that would otherwise be unlawful. Only people liable by law are corporations and foreign nationals. This is actually very easy stuff.
You still have to do away with fiat money and return to a gold/silver standard, and take 1 final step, the OUTLAWING OF INTEREST as it is USURY. Just like Hitler did. Smart guy, that one.
Do all those things, and we can explore the cosmos together forever in peace and harmony. We’ll finally be able to afford it.
Idiot says, ““inflation” doesn’t exist”.
Eric writes, “I don’t disagree with any of your points.”
Yeesh.
“When, in the 16th century, American resources of gold and silver were discovered and exploited, enormous quantities of the precious metals were transported to Europe. The result of this increase in the quantity of money was a general tendency toward an upward movement of prices in Europe. In the same way, today, when a government increases the quantity of paper money, the result is that the purchasing power of the monetary unit begins to drop, and so prices rise. This is called inflation.” …

Excellent list Europeasant.
Don’t get divorced as well. Thats a real wealth killer. I have one other to add. Went fishing recently with my son and his cousin. Nephew was complaining about not having enough money. He’s been a lineman for almost ten years. Makes pretty good money, I assume. He’s covered in ink. When I asked hime about a few of his tats, and how much they cost, then did some back of the envelope math in my head, it came to like 10 grand. When I mentioned this he agreed, ‘About 10 grand.’ He cant even tell a good story about any of them. Just the first one he got when he went to Iraq. Made me think of the Bible verse, sumpin, sumpin, ‘my people perish for lack of knowledge.’

Excellent explanation on language terminology being manipulated and under the influence of globalists.
“inflation”
I like the term devaluation the best.
In an episode of the Rockford Files, A Material Difference, a Russian agent asks another why it costs $1000 to see a movie on some kind of arms exchange.. the woman agent says “devaluation. The dollar just took another dip.” The show reflected the period it was broacast, late 1978.
I haven’t head that word in a while. Gonna use it. Thanks for the reminder.
I’m actually old enough to get a “Rockford Files” reference, ty for that. Yes, sometimes in older TV shows, they accidentally tell us some truth that becomes inconvenient 20 years later. I still pick up things from “The Twilight Zone”, and I’ll never forget when Ralph Cramdon on “The Honeymooners” predicted 3-D TV.
Glad I could be of assistance, too often we use THEIR terminology and it’s to our detriment when we do so.

The people who rise to the top of this system are not immoral, they are amoral, lacking even the ability to concern themselves with morality, to discern right from wrong. Everything is permitted in the pursuit of the win. Ask Trump, he’ll tell you inflation hurts you because you are a stupid loser. You see, morality is a hindrance, and the purpose of such a trait is perplexing to people like Trump. “Can’t these people see I’m winning?” he says to himself.
I demand reparations from all participants, i.e. voters. May your ballot hand wither and die, then may you be condemned to smite yourself about the face for all eternity with your good hand.
Inflation is theft, it is immoral. Money should hold it’s value forever and ever. Back on the gold standard, a loaf of bread was 5 cents for 100 years. Everyone knew what bread, flour, bacon cost, the price never changed.
But then the Jews came along with their central banking fiat money scam. Everything Jews do is immoral and wrong. Trump is a Jew wannabe. Trump loves inflation because the wealth of society is transferred from the working class to the ultra rich, those with savings or on fixed incomes are impoverished, and those who borrow money get a reduction in what they owe. Inflation is an invisible transfer of wealth from the moral to the immoral.
If you understand that, then Trump should be put to death for trying to rip us off, steal our money. Deficit spending leads to inflation which leads to unstable prices, and unstable society, which eventually leads to revolution and a lot of dead people.
Never forget what happened in the French Revolution during the inflation, the elite lost their heads. Not long thereafter, hyperinflation in Weimar Germany led to the rise of Hitler. Look it up, Hitler came to power EXACTLY when inflation was peaking, the entire German currency was worth less than one US cent.
Screw Trump, a POS with no morals whatsoever, I hope he gets his fat orange face blowed off by an angry Marine sniper. Really, truly, I say unto you, Trump deserves termination with prejudice. We don’t need him, we would be much better off with that asshole gone.
Trump loves inflation and underaged girls, Orange con busted:
An FBI tip memorialized in the Epstein files alleges Trump knew about underage sex parties at a Trump golf course.
By Natasha Yee
June 9, 2026
An FBI document from the U.S. Department of Justice Jeffrey Epstein files contains extraordinary allegations involving President Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and a Trump-owned golf course — claims that appear to have originated from a single tipster who contacted federal authorities in 2021.
The FBI intake report does not identify the golf course referenced by the caller. However, the allegation appears in files connected to Epstein, whose sprawling Palm Beach mansion served as the center of many of the activities that ultimately led to his conviction and the federal sex-trafficking investigation that followed.

Imagine my surprise, Trump raped little girls, who could of known our glorious Orange BLOTUS was a serial little girl rapist?
Read this, Trump is a rapist:

I mean, we’ve all seen the photos of him with young girls in bikinis by now. At this point, people that haven’t figured this shit out for themselves really aren’t worth talking to. 😀
In the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 1990s THE place to party was Hugh Hefner’s Playboy mansion west. Celebrities, centerfolds, wanna-be centerfolds and lots of skin, booze, drugs and general debauchery. Pictures published in the magazine. Middle America knew what was probably happening there, what pictures didn’t make it to the magazine, what the real ages of some of “the girls” were.
There were only ever a few men on the cover of Playboy magazine. Trump was one of them. He was seen at the Playboy mansion. DK if he was a regular or not, but given his “the sort of man who reads Playboy” lifestyle in the 80s, and desire to break into that world, it is very likely he participated in a lot of activity there.
When the Playboy empire collapsed, Epstein took over. But culture changed, the majority of boomers aged out and got sober, and found religion when they had kids. Suddenly the stuff they’re ashamed of doing in their youth was happening to their daughters, and no way will that stand! And the wholesale takeover of media by the female gender just reinforced the turning of the tide to puritanical treatment of men’s desires.
Of course when it comes to politicians, sex was always in private. When Trump became a politician, his Playboy lifestyle became a liability. Somehow he managed to keep it from becoming a campaign issue, mostly by playing the born-again card. But it’s all still there, in the archives.
Maybe there’s a reason why Playboy keeps their content behind paywalls and off the Internet. Investigation of Trump’s past requires going to libraries and searching the stacks, not just letting Google do the work. No journalist is going to get out of “their” jammies and trudge over to some dusty old library full of homeless people looking for old Playboy magazines.
An example of the Neo-puritains who run journalism today:

(Notice he keeps going on about the greatest stock market ever. Greatest for *whom*?)
https://www.youtube.com/c/thejimmydoreshow
This marks the third time this year that Trump has thumbed his nose at the American people. First he said he thinks the Iran war and its attendant high gas prices is “worth it.” Then he said, “Not even a little bit… I don’t think about Americans’ financial situations, I don’t think about anybody.” Now he said he loves inflation.
He has also openly mocked Jesus by inserting his likeness in place of Christ’s in some online posts. Between his blasphemy and his contempt for the public’s economic suffering, he has revealed himself as an enemy of Christianity and an enemy of the people. Have we ever seen a president stoop to a level this low?
Bill Clinton…..
Everybody’s turning on capitalism when a central bank, income tax, and government schools are three of Marx’s ten plankes of communism. When you point this out to people infatuated with communism though, it goes in one ear and out the other.
Government has got to go. Humanity must give self rule a try if it is to survive. The reason America never had a chance to make things right with the red man and slavery is because it had a government. It’s time for total freedom for all the Henry Fords and Colonel Sanders’s out there. Let creators and producers create and produce on ten, limited only by their own resourcefulness.
Don’t give me this nonsense about marauding gangs or Vikings crossing the sea, either. Bull-shit. Not when everybody has an AR. Nobody is going to forgo planting crops to gather resources to cross the sea just to face a hail of .223 and 9mm rounds on arrival. The firearm ended the need for government.
Free-thinking men came up with the automobile. Government is destroying it. Government is the sole cause of permanent poverty and war. If humanity is to survive another millennium, it will move past government. Government is highly irrational, an anachronism and slavery.

Everything you say about government is undeniably true. But.
When everyone’s got an AR (who is going to make that happen?), a certain minority of people will form a ‘group,’ complete with leader, which will out-gun any individual who isn’t in a group.
Presto, government is born.
Hi Cobblestones!
I think Nock made an excellent point separating government from the state. Government is a way of saying rules and rules – when they do not impinge upon rights – are by no means a bad thing. There is government – rules – in every household. Government – to provide a framework for the orderly resolution of disputes and to protect everyone’s equal right to be self-governed and to be free to pursue happiness as they define it (without impinging on the rights of others) and to be sure in their property – can be a very good thing.
The problem is the state – which is the negation of rights.
Exactly. Governing as you describe begins in the household, the family, and percolates up from there. Very Confucian observation. 🙂
But the reality is that every government in history eventually devolved into the state, as did ours. How does that happen? I maintain it begins with, or at least includes, destroying the family, which is exactly what’s going on in the world today.
And (so sorry for attacking the sacred cow of egalitarian liberalism) women bear the brunt of the responsibility for this.
You don’t need government to have order.
Lawlessness framed as chaos is lack of rules and occurs when there is nothing left to lose. Apocalyptic chaos.
When free men get to control their own destiny and reap the fruits of their labor what occurs is spontaneous order and voluntary cooperation.
That’s not to say criminals don’t exist. They do. There’s always anti-social people. But when they are not given the keys to the control room they can only exist as loners and maybe small gangs.
They are dealt with by individuals who agree to cooperate as watchers for each other, perhaps form commercial security businesses.
The court doesn’t need to be government either. You can employ a neutral arbiter to hear your dispute, a People’s Court if you will.
Where a private security and court gets murky is with real crimes and the appearance of neutrality. How do you show your arbitration company is truly independent?
However, the problem occurs with government courts, judges have shown themselves time and time again to be corrupt. The reason a private judge will be less likely to be crooked is all they have is their reputation to sell. Word of mouth will ruin their business no different than a plumber who does shoddy work or a restaurant selling tainted seafood.
Well, KMose, there’s capitalism , and then there’s *capitalism*. I guess the word means different things to different people, depending on which end of the busted sewer pipe they’re looking through, or sucking on. No doubt Larry Fink of Blackrock and whoever (or whatever) runs Vanguard and similar outfits has a vastly different perspective on it than some poor loser who rents a trailer from him/them.
Black mold and water damage have been found throughout Aliea Brown and Mason Obradovich’s home.
“About 22 million people live in mobile home communities across the U.S. They are among the only options for Americans unable to afford a house or higher-cost rentals.
But in recent years, mobile home properties have become less affordable
as an influx of _large corporations and investment firms _have bought up the parks and raised rents and fees,
experts and residents say,
further endangering some of the most economically vulnerable Americans at a time of rising income inequality.
NBC News interviewed 20 residents of manufactured home communities in Florida, Illinois, Mississippi and New Hampshire.
They described significant changes and challenges in their communities
_after they were purchased by investment firms or large corporations._
In addition to higher rents and fees, these people said,
maintenance and services declined
and relations between management and residents sometimes became toxic.”

Like I said, capitalism is a word that means different things to different people.
War and profit
‘War and profit are intimately tied together. The billionaires cannot secure their profits without war, or the threat of it – whether it is against workers at home or against other nations abroad.
The “end of history” has brought not a unity of interests, and end to struggle, but ever greater polarisation between the haves and have-nots, between powerful nations and weak ones.
War drums sound ever more loudly across the globe. Ask Venezuelans, Cubans, Greenlanders, Ukrainians, Russians, Palestinians, Lebanese, Iranians how the “end of history” is working out for them.
Ask Europeans and Americans too, now permanently mired in the politics of austerity.
Ever more workers have been forced into the gig economy, with zero-hours contracts. And that is before an AI “revolution” makes swathes of jobs redundant.
The ever-growing arrogance of the Epstein class, however, is catching up with it. A mood of unrest is beginning to find its voice, recognising that we are already deep in a class war.
Meanwhile, Iran – by refusing to submit to US and Israeli aggression, and in realising its power to throttle global oil supplies – has shown that full-spectrum dominance was never as complete as the “masters of the universe” assumed. It has an Achilles’ heel, after all.
The truth is we should all have been terrified by the idea that our leaders might assume and behave as if history had come to an end.
In practice, it could mean only an end to constraints on capitalism – an end to any humanising limits on its reach, on its ambitions, on its cruelty.
Like King Midas, the Epstein class expected to monetise everything it touched. And like King Midas, hubris will be its downfall.’

Texe Marrs said it thusly:
COMMUNISM is when jews take over your government first, then your economy.
CAPITALISM is when jews take over your economy first, then your government.
FASICISM is what jews cry out when you try to prevent either one.
How is the question I must ask. How?
Inspired by his mixed martial arts heroes, the Orange Flake confabulates a fictitious future full of bright explosions and kicks to the head:

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away.
Inflation Man’s next move:
‘Republican strategist Ron Bonjean encouraged the White House to “clarify very quickly that Trump thought the inflation number would be much higher and that he is confident the number will come down once hostilities end with Iran.”
‘The president attempted to do that in an interview with The New York Post on Wednesday afternoon.
“I was talking about inflation numbers that will be so good as soon as the war ends. The numbers will come way down, that’s what I’m talking about,” Trump said. “I’m always taken out of context.” [‘And my grandparents died in the Holocaust,’ he could have added, but didn’t. — Ed.]
‘CNN’s Manu Raju caught up with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who said Trump’s remarks were taken “totally out of context” and that the president is “laser focused on the domestic economic situation.”
“What he [Trump] was saying is, it’s going to be great to have that number and compare it to what comes next when we get these situations resolved,” Johnson said. “That’ll be a fun thing to consider and to compare.”
https://thehill.com/newsletters/morning-report/5919569-donald-trump-inflation-messaging-gop-midterms/
‘As soon as the war ends,’ bloviates the BLOAT [Biggest Liar Of All Time], as he announces that ‘We’re taking Kharg Island’ in his next lying breath. WTF?
Meanwhile, the Louisiana dickhead Mike’s Johnson thinks this is all ‘fun.’ Fun like a haymaker that punches your front teeth down your throat, right Mikey? November is payback time for a party that doesn’t merely hate us, but also can’t resist openly mocking us with snark and endless lies.
Remember when ‘Doctor Jill’ constantly covered for the cognitive errors of Dementia Joe — completing his mumbled sentences, steering him off the stage, and so forth?
This is what desperate Repukes are now doing for Donnie Demento, as he blurts out offensive new whoppers every day. But it won’t work. They are turds on the run.
“A party that doesn’t merely hate us, but also can’t resist openly mocking us with snark and endless lies”
Absolutely correct. The Dems hate us as well, but a least have some degree of honesty about their intentions. I will not participate in this years voting charade, but I hope the Dems get enough of a majority to start impeachment hearings against not only the Orange Douchebag, but Kegsbreath, Narco Rubio, Nutlick, Bessent, JD (not his real name) Vance, and everyone associated with this criminal administration.
The Louisiana dickhead Mike’s Johnson thinks this is all ‘fun’. Proof that Christian Zionists are the among the most evil, immoral people in the world despite heavy competition. Their leaders are all TRAITORS and should be treated accordingly. A large percentage of their followers are too stupid to breath and when karma whips around to bite them in the ass I will have less than zero sympathy.
Once again, the disciple of Norman Vincent Peele finds it impossible to admit error. Because to admit error is to have negative thoughts. And when you have negative thoughts you are a loser. And Trump’s not a loser, you’re the loser!
ChatGPT provides a pretty concise summary of Peele’s doctrine:
Peale’s Core Message
Peale’s most famous book, The Power of Positive Thinking, can be distilled into a few principles:
1. Believe success is possible
* Doubt is the enemy.
* Confidence attracts success.
* Act as if you can succeed, and eventually you will.
2. Use affirmations
* Repeat positive statements about yourself and your future.
* Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.
3. Visualize desired outcomes
* Picture success before it happens.
* Mental rehearsal helps create real-world results.
4. Reject defeatist thinking
* Never dwell on failure.
* Focus on opportunities rather than obstacles.
5. Faith amplifies confidence
* Peale combined Christianity with psychology.
* Trust in God and trust in yourself were closely linked.
Much like George Constanza’s advice to Jerry about to take a lie detector test “It’s not a lie if you believe it.” Trump’s delusional rhetoric is all about affirmation, not factual information.
Doesn’t help the rest of us, of course. His “reality distortion field” only works for him and his cult. The rest of us see with our own eyes what he did to drive the dollar into Argentinian inflation levels. Unfortunately we’re not used to it, nor are we prepared for it. We got used to deflation from tech advances and globalization, but now that’s all done.
At the rate things are going we’ll probably see people starting to drive Polaris side-by-sides on secondary roads, because a compliance vehicle will just be too expensive. Upside is the long throw suspension will soak up the massive potholes that will go unfilled. And I imagine the local cops will just have to look the other way, perhaps for a crisp new Trumpback tucked in with the expired license.
The freeways of course will be empty, except for government vehicles, and maybe big trucks hauling containers. They’ll be like the train tracks that run though town, only used a few hours per day but always there, taking up space.
We are a long way from empty freeways.
I faintly remember a time when they were empty. As late as the early 1980s, you could get on a rural freeway and see no one around, although that gradually came to an end.
In all fairness, negative waves gets bridges blown up

The difference between Trump and George Costanza is that George’s advice actually is how you defeat a polygraph.
Sure sounds like the Protestant “Prosperity Gospel” with promises made by the likes of Hagee, Osteen, Graham, Beck and many other huckster preachers that “God” will reward you with wealth and success if you just “believe” (and put many shekels in the collection plate).
The Protestant “Prosperity Gospel” is actually “judaism lite”–the worship of money–a totally jewish concept. Protestants regard those who are unsuccessful in business as having a “moral failing”, not unlike jewish beliefs.
Protestantism had to remove six books from the Bible in order to justify salvation by “faith alone”, temporal good works having no validity within Protestantism. Add to that, the concept of “sola scriptura”, the insistence and belief that the Bible is sacrosanct as presently written, word-for-word, despite being written, rewritten, translated and retranslated by men, many with their own agendas.
That being said, Protestants are good people who have contributed greatly to improving the human condition…
A better phrasing would be “some people that happened to be Protestant are good people who have contributed greatly to improving the human condition”. Protestantism, particularly the Evangelical kind, has been a net negative for the human condition.
The sooner Evangelical Christianity gets cast into the dustbowl of history the better.
Agree 100%!
Thanks,
Hagee, Graham, don’t even get me started on those dispensationalist evangelical judeo-zio-cuck pseudo-Christians. I get mad when I hear their names.
Martin Luther did have one good thing he did, which was publish “On the Jews And Their Lies”. Seminole work, that.
‘I love the inflation’ — Viceroy Trumpstein, quoted by eric
‘How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb’ was the subtitle of Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 film Dr Strangelove. Ordinary people did not love the threat of nuclear annihilation. Indeed, the warmongering monster Lyndon Butthole Johnson — who turned a blind eye to Israel’s wholesale theft of enriched uranium from the Numec plant — famously used it to eviscerate his opponent Barry Goldwater:
https://www.whitehousehistory.org/videos/daisy-ad-1964-preserved-from-35mm-in-the-tony-schwartz-collection
To the possibilities raised by Eric, we are obliged to add Talmudic inversion: a deliberate strategy of projecting onto an opponent one’s own inner depravities. In Trump’s case, this likely diagnosis is best exemplified by his obsessive-compulsive insistence that ‘Iran cannot have nuclear weapons’ — after nuclear-armed Israel unilaterally attacked Iran.
Incredibly, as a matter of official policy, the US still refuses to acknowledge that Israel has nuclear weapons. This means that US middle eastern policy is based on a Big Lie. But the dam is cracking — last week Little Marco Rubio offered to give Rep. Joaquin Castro and his colleagues a classified briefing on the subject.
All well and good … except that widening the cover-up of Israel’s nukes to include Congress means that only the public — the voters — are frozen out. The authors of the Declaration of Independence were perfectly goddamned clear about the deadly response such a conspiracy against the people merits: the gallows.
Indeed, Jim –
Also: I do not like having to resort to rough language (as in this piece) but there are times when nothing short of it will do. One doesn’t – one ought not to – mince words when dealing with a certain kind of man. This man. He is far worse than a public embarrassment. He is a kind of evil clown coming at your kids with a leering smirk on his powdered face.
He is even worse than your best friend who turns out to be banging your wife in his truck while you’re working to pay the bills. He’s unashamed of it – and wags his dick in your face after he does it, with your wife glistening.
Is it any wonder I can no longer recommend this site to friends and family? Things here have pretty much become unhinged.
You’re right, Anon, that things have become unhinged.
But it’s not me that’s unhinging them! Are you defending Trump? I’m genuinely curious.
You don’t like the coarse language? Trump uses it all the time – and he’s the president. He has the power to wreck lives. He is wrecking the country. And you’re criticizing me for using coarse language to describe who he is, what he says and what he has done.
It’s early yet but I need a drink.
I thought it was a very apt analogy for the betrayal felt by those who believed Trump, me included.
And it made me think of the best country lyrics ever penned: “My best friend ran away with my wife and I miss him”.
Thanks, MH!
And I love that lyric!
I’m certainly not defending Trump, but my 10 year old likes to look over my shoulder sometimes when I’m reading, and he certainly doesn’t need to see that, even as an adept analogy as it is.
I hear you, David –
I’ve just gotten so tired of this malicious, bilious clown that I let my anger get the better of me.
Thanks Eric. My son is pretty intelligent for his age, and has developed an interest in world affairs. You have a lot of great insight on world affairs, and you are a daily read, along with Lew Rockwell. I want my son well prepared for the future, so I do share much of what I gather from LRC and EPA with him. BTW, I enjoyed your interview on the Kate Dalley show. The entire show was great stuff, and does a great job of unlocking some of the trajectory of the 20th and 21st centuries. The protocols continue a pace….
Thanks, Dave!
It is sometimes a challenge to not blurt out something perhaps best not said out loud. We live in an un-civil age. This is a tragedy – especially for those of us who can remember a civil time.
I am sure he hears worse language from his friends so the pearl clutching “think of the children!” just doesn’t cut it.
Actually he doesn’t. And any kid that does use that kind of anguage isn’t being raised right. That isn’t pearl clutching. It’s proper etiquette and it’s also teaching self respect. Eric’s analogy for Trump is correct, as Trump is just plain trailer trash who just happens to have a lot of money. But there’s no need to stoop to his level. We’re better than him.
“She may be better than you, but I ain’t”

Howdy Eric.
People that are emotionally upset by “language” are some of the most brainwashed people on the planet.
Writing is an artform. Everyone can agree on that fact.
In painting, oil colors are the medium of the artform.
In writing, words are the medium of the artform.
To be offended by words is no different to being offended by a color. There should be no emotional response to any word but rather the message in its entirety. Just like if you look at a painting, you take in the whole painting and the message therein.
If you look at a painting, and say, “You know what? I otherwise like the painting, but I find the color blue to be offensive.”, you know what will happen? People will look at you like you’re an absolute loon. And they would be correct.
As such, if you look at a word, and find a word to be offensive?
You’re a fucking loon.
Keep on keeping on, man.
“I can no longer recommend this site to friends and family.” Give me a break, Anon.
Perhaps you (Mister Liberty) have a different sort of friends and family? I don’t make a habit of sending mine to sites speaking of dicks and glistening wives.
It used to be that this was a pretty decent place to get people exposed to libertarian ideas and started down a path of critical thinking. That is no longer the case.
I’m no longer sure what Eric’s intent is. Maybe there is a market for giving malcontents a place to hang out and vent.
That’s fine. It may even be a decent strategy. But it’s not a place that I will use to introduce people to libertarian thinking.
Providing a place for “malcontents a place to hang out and vent” is exactly what the doctor ordered, especially given that most of those venues have been closed off online by the censor-crazy communists. This is one of the only free-speech platforms that I’m aware of that freely encourages this type of discussion. And FYI, you’ve reminded me that I need to send a donation to Eric for providing this service.
Let’s list the words woke ears can’t tolerate.
Faggot
Nigger
Retard
Cocksucker
Cunt
Words that are bad need to be memory holed, for the greater good. They’re just sounds that sometimes fit the bill.
Plus it’s Eric’s site and he can write whatever he wants and if you don’t like it please fuck off!
I agree, it is a bit over-the-top, but remember Eric works his ass off providing both daily content and a pretty good commentariat venue. That alone is worth cutting him some slack. Everyone needs to vent on occasion.
I am curious about something though. I could be wrong but there’s a whiff of greater blame for the friend than the wife in the wording. In other words, the expectations for a male friend are higher than for the wife.
Which is the greater betrayal, the wife or the best friend? I’m reminded of a novel by Larry Niven in which the antagonist came home and found some Chad banging his wife. The Chad was mercilessly beaten and abused, the wife made excuses and was forgiven with barely a harsh word. I thought the opposite should have happened.
I think you can make the argument that Trump was sent here by God. However, His sending of the Orange Wonder is not done as a blessing. It is, as is stated in 1Samuel8, a curse. It is the curse of worshiping GovCo as a god-like entity. “Governments are put in place by God”, is what so many Judeo-Christians spout. What they don’t get is that it is their worship of GovCo as a godly entity (see the pre-game festivities at any NFL game) that brings about this smiting.
As Mencken wrote, “be careful what you wish for…you just might get it…good and hard”, we’re getting it good and hard.
The thing is, voters (and Americans in general) gravitate to positive messages. The exception being Bill Clinton, but that’s because Bush the first wasn’t a real president, put in place by “The Agency” to help shift the focus of international spy craft to “terrorism.” Even Obama ran on Hope™ not Cash for Clunkers.
Trump’s positive message rang loud and clear, especially against the Harpy Hillary and Cackling Camilla, two of the worst run campaigns ever. But now it’s his great liability, because his religion requires him to put a positive spin on everything no matter what. And that’s not possible.
