It Cometh from the Pit:And Hath a Knout
Posted on March 23, 2016 by Fred Reed
Once upon a time there was a fairy kingdom that lived inside a place called The Beltway, and was surrounded on all four sides by a land called America. The Beltway was aligned with another kingdom called Manhattan, inhabited by disembodied heads that spoke from the walls of bars, and with with yet another closed kingdom called Hollywood, the abode of half-educated narcissists. These kingdoms were in eternal political syzygy, and spoke not with the people of the surrounding lands, of whom they knew nothing. The following is a chronicle of what befell them, and why.
After years of peace, the Kingdoms were taken greatly aback by the rise of the Trump Monster, their surprise being proof that they knew nothing of the surrounding lands. They knew nothing for good reasons, of which there were two. The first was that they passed their lives with each other and among each other and talking to each other and writing about each other and reading about each other behind the high walls of their kingdoms. In organs like National Review and The Weekly Standard they endlessly wrote stories of the form “A soothsayer in Manhattan replies to what some other sayer of sooths said about yet another’s attack on someone else.”
They had all dwelt in monasteries called Harvard and Princeton, where they learned that they were the wisest of men, and inerrant. They had no idea that they were hated in the strange lands without the walls, which on their maps were drawn as fog with notations such as “Here dwelleth dragons.” They did not know that there were people who agreed not with them. For were they not right about all things?
What!
America Hits Rock Bottom: Cities Are Paying Criminals $1000 Per Month “Not To Kill”
It is widely known that in the past 6 months there has been a loud debate about helicopter money, i.e., giving out ordinary people (bypassing the banks) money directly printed by the Fed. What is less known is that when it comes to the most despicable underbelly of American society, cash to the tune of $1000 per month is already being “helicoptered” to some of the most brazen criminals living in the US today with one simple condition: “don’t kill people.”

Take the case of Lonnie Holmes, 21, who lives in Richmond, a working-class suburb north of San Francisco and whose four his cousins had died in shootings. He was a passenger in a car involved in a drive-by shooting, police said. And he was arrested for carrying a loaded gun. When Holmes was released from prison last year, officials in this city offered something unusual to try to keep him alive: money. They began paying Holmes as much as $1,000 a month not to commit another gun crime.
Samb, Auandag, Equisetum
It’s very hard to understand. If he’s wrong again this year perhaps he’ll double the price?
… on the other side I guess Bill Holter needs to eat too …
Samb @ 16:16 -Yeah-his whole mystique was built on his call of $800 gold in 1960
Then he comes out recently and says he was told to sell at the top. This whole gold market is full of bizarre characters!
Ipso @ 15:27
Maybe he is delusional. He completely buried his loyal CIGA’S with TRX. His calls on Gold were “This is it” flat out wrong. His call for Euro higher and Dollar to be smashed were 180 wrong. I mean who the hell is left to fool?? He thinks people are going to pay money to hear nonsense? I vote delusional.
Oh joy

Bible verse 20:16 !
Donald Trump was asked if he could quote any bible verses — Skinee, 18:03:04 3/20/16 Sun
He answered: Trump 20:16, “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Deport him and you won’t have to feed him again.”
Soros even turned his own Parents in to the NAZIS !Psychopath of the First Order !
George Soros sold out his Jewish neighbours to the Nazi’s and even went as far as stealing their valuable items such as gold teeth after they were killed. Trudeau met him in Davos and Soros told Trudeau that his financial management was a little misguided. My response would be that Trudeau is way off track and into the realm of a train crash. Why Soros hasn’t been eliminated by Putin is one big question. The other question is who is slated to replace him?

Bernie got over 70% in Washington State. Bernie signs all over town. Better Bernie than Hillary if it comes to that. I think he’s a lot more honest and I think he could be restrained by the legislature from actually implementing his agenda. JMO
WANKA @ 0:15
Maybe the people who’s handle you don’t have could give their street name or something like that so you could identify them?
Good to see you back. 🙂
Good morning Oasis
