The Fed IS the Ugly Truth
The Fed IS the Ugly Truth Rembrandt van Rijn Man with a falcon on his wrist (possibly St. Bavo) 1661 This Fed thing just keeps going on, and it needs to stop. There is nothing in the discussion about the Federal Reserve these days that has any value other than it provides even more proof […]
2019: Zombie Markets Before The Fall
2019: Zombie Markets Before The Fall Francis Tattegrain La ramasseuse d’épaves (The Beachcomber) 1880 I haven’t really written about finance since April of this year, and given recent fluctuations in what people persist in calling the markets, maybe it’s time. Then again, nothing has changed since that article in April entitled This Is Not A […]
Dumping on the Donald
Dumping on the Donald Rembrandt van Rijn The Adoration of the Magi 16xx I still had some things I didn’t talk about in Sunday’s Trump Derangement International, about how the European press have found out that they, like the US MSM, can get lots of viewers and readers simply by publishing negative stories about Donald […]
Trump Derangement International
Trump Derangement International Diego Velázquez The Spinners 1655-60 Dirk Kurbjuweit, deputy editor-in-chief of Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine for the past 4 years, unwittingly put his foot a mile deep in his mouth this week when he reacted to a letter written by US Ambassador to Berlin Richard Grenell. His reaction presents perhaps the most […]
2018 Chaos, 2019 Mayhem
2018 Chaos, 2019 Mayhem Titian The rape of Europe 1560-62 It took me a while to decide which word(s) best define the past year and the next one, but I think this is pretty much it. 2018 was chaotic more than anything else, and that chaos will give rise to mayhem in 2019. What I […]
Fairytales and Snowflakes
Fairytales and Snowflakes Rembrandt van Rijn Bathsheba at her bath 1654 (see video at the bottom) There are not many things that I’m allergic to. But there are some. Here’s a good example: bigotry. Behold, in the article quoted below, the danger of political correctness in all its glory. A 30-year old Christmas song, Fairytale […]
Macron Heralds The End Of The Union
Macron Heralds The End Of The Union Paul Almasy Paris 1950 The concept of the EU might have worked, but still only might have, if a neverending economic boom could have been manufactured to guide it on its way. But there was never going to be such a boom. Or perhaps if the spoils that […]
Smear Slander Rinse and Repeat
Smear Slander Rinse and Repeat Frans Masereel Montmartre 1925 The way ‘news’ is reported through known outlets changes so fast hardly a soul notices that news as we once knew it no longer exists. This is due to a large extent to the advent of the internet in general, and social media in particular. On […]
You Are Well Inside the Matrix
You Are Well Inside the Matrix Berthe Morisot The old track to Auvers 1863 Our politicians and media are not going to allow us to see Russia, and any incidents the country can be linked to, in any other way than black and white, in which we are the good party and they are the black, evil and […]
Quantum, Jazz and Dada – 3
Quantum, Jazz and Dada – 3 Max Ernst Ubu Imperator 1923 Ilargi: This is part 3 of Alexander Aston’s view of how upheaval and collapse can lead to new insights, new bursts of creativity, in science, religion, society and the arts. Part 1 of Quantum, Jazz and Dada can be found here, part 2 is […]
Nationalists and Patriots
Nationalists and Patriots Ivan Kramskoy Christ in the desert 1920 If and when a former Rothschild banker starts telling us what the words in our respective languages actually mean, beware. Even if he has dozens of professional speech writers and spin doctors to do it for him. And even if the meaning and interpretation of […]

Quantum, Jazz and Dada – 1
Quantum, Jazz and Dada – 1 Marcel Duchamp Nude descending a staircase 1912 Ilargi: Much to my surprise, I received a mail from an old friend. Alexander Aston last wrote for the Automatic Earth in 2014. But he hasn’t been idle. Alexander is presently finishing his doctorate in archeology at Oxford, after prior degrees in […]
Bubbles, Balloons, Needles and Pins
Bubbles, Balloons, Needles and Pins M. C. Escher Meeting (Encounter) 1940 It’s no surprise that China has its own plunge protection team -but why were they so late?-, nor that Beijing blames its problems on Trump’s tariffs. GDP growth was disappointing at 6.5%, but who’s ever believed those almost always dead on numbers? It would […]
Chill!
Chill! René Magritte Pandora’s box 1951 They can’t help themselves even as they hurt themselves. Look guys, chill! I saw someone imply on Twitter that Donald Trump is an accomplice in a murder cover-up. This person knows as well as all the ones who liked the tweet that they all just don’t know. They don’t […]
