Loading ...I saw the beginning of the USA decline right after John Lenin and Yoko Ono’s song “Imagine” came out.
That trend ended for those dreamers with the 2008 real estate crash, and now Trump getting involved. I think 9/11 also pissed off a lot of people, that found out good guys finish last. No more Mr. Niceguy.
Even though this is from WaPo, it is info nonetheless.
Crazy for silver. Not so much for gold. Can anyone figure it out?
Donald is now President! Buy fracking, Uranium, oil, and now with his override of Dodd-Frank, buy banks!
America first! Hopefully no war though…
Donald, please eliminate the Fed and the UN and take us back to the gold or even silver standard…America first!
I just found out all those fracking stocks are in nice up-trends, and nobody here says anything??? Geez. Ones like EMES SLCA HCLP.
re Climate change……Wow that is a very big deal, I guess she is so dumb that she thinks she can admit it and I would suspect she is a Commie from South America…..and happy to boast about ending capitalism, while ignoreing it’s vile legacy, the 100’s of millions who died under communism.
The Donald will love that, as will Mark Steyn.
Anybody have the real deal on this?
Even Bitcoin is strong at $1,017. Must be the beginning of the weekend… Farmboy flew the coop, Buygold threatening to turn tail… what could go wrong?
Time for this rabid non-fan to ignore the Superbowl insanity and have a weekend, too. Great time to go shopping and avoid the crowds that are all at home glued to the flatscreen.
Volcano Watchers: Yesterday a building-sized block of the cliff at the lava ocean entry broke off and fell into the sea. The ‘firehose’ of lava is no more. It has been partially obstructed by rubble and no longer shoots out like before. But lava continues to flow into the ocean, building the newest land on earth.

Yeah we have crony capitalism, quasi-capitalism but most everything is under gov’t. control.
I do agree though that the whole climate change, is a huge money grab intent on destroying business, with the exception of the large corporate entities owned by the elite globalists who promote the phony climate hoax. Also promoted by the UN.
The US is just the last western nation to fall, and that’s what Trump is all about. He’s the resistance, the insurgent.
Re: Capitalism.
Understood.
Are multinationals enjoying capitalism or socialism by spreading the wealth while getting wealthier themselves at the expence of our economy? Then we had politicians making lame decisions to try to compensate for it causing the housing crash. The crash of socialism resulted I can agree. Some of these multinationals have become pupptsers to politicans thus making themsekves part of the shadow government.
Golbal warming is a hunt for money as well turned into a corrupt force that does affect capitalism. Strong arming companies to pay fines. The latest in Calif is not eliminating plastic shopping bags but charging you for them. How does that help the environment instead of just switching to paper. It helps their pocket book. It’s just another tax.
We got people like Soro’s whos wanna be dictator envious of true Americans who him not being one here or in UK and can’t run for office is working behind the scenes to try to control elections to people he can control as a alternative way to rule.
Everything he labels con plats and conservatives he is looking in the mirror. He can’t control Trump who is a constitutional conplat who can’t be bought. I hope he revokes his duel citizenship then his business deals.
A young man named Bill bought a horse from a farmer for $250. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day, the farmer drove up to Bill’s house and said, “Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died.”
Bill replied, “Well, then just give me my money back.”
The farmer said, “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”
Bill said, “Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.”
The farmer asked, “What ya gonna do with him?”
Bill said, “I’m going to raffle him off.”
The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead horse!”
Bill said, “Sure I can, Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.”
A month Later, the farmer met up with Bill and asked, “What happened with that dead horse?”
Bill said, “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at five dollars a piece and made a profit of $2495.”
The farmer said, “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Bill said, “Just the guy who won. So I gave him his five dollars back.”
Sorry ipso, ok I correct myself. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Not “fake news”, just wrong words. I should have said “some UN official posted imo, incorrect news. Somebody needs to show me where capitalism exists.”
I just hate to see my friends here get mislead into thinking capitalism exists. It simply doesn’t. Its all classic Keynesian economics. I can’t think of one place where the “invisible hand of capitalism” is doing its job.”
@eeos, copy that you’re right. Some entertainment purposes.
ZH just posted what some UN official said.
Just because you disagree doesn’t make it “fake news.”
Did ZH make up the story? No it did not. I think you don’t know what “fake news” means.
Zerohedge doesn’t have a filter. They just sort of post and run. Some of it’s reliable, some of it just bunk crap. Generally I enjoy reading his column, even if it’s for entertainment purposes only.
I don’t agree with that at all. The USA used to be the only capitalist country on a socialized planet. The globalization dragged the USA into socialism. The Global Warming Agenda was to keep and maintain SOCIALISM.
The Crash in 2008 was a crash and failure of global socialism. The only people enjoying capitalism, unfettered business activity were the global cross border multinational CORPORATIONS. They are now in panic mode since the USA went belly up.
I have suddenly lost more respect for zero hedge, posting fake news.

I see that Dollar and Gold reversed on the No’s….that’s new…..Maybe the Donald has changed the Rig as well ????
U.N. Official Admits Global Warming Agenda Is Really About Destroying Capitalism
abandoning your post and leaving me on duty? Dangerous thing to do as you know I have a tendency to turn tail at times… 🙂
If we finish around here for the week I’d think that is a huge win, especially on a week where we had a Fed Meeting, Jobs Report and Chinese New Year, triple whammy and we’ve withstood it.
I like the way we’re semi-tracking the USD
