The Political Theater of Absurdity
The Political Theater of Absurdity Do we have to wonder just how long will the press allow this complete farse to continue? Journalists have no sense of honor, for what they are allowing to take is devastating their own families’ future. Truthfully, if my children were a journalist selling this BS, I would disown them. […]
Hiding in Plain Sight: Why We Cannot See the System Destroying Us
Hiding in Plain Sight: Why We Cannot See the System Destroying Us I rarely tell readers what to believe. Rather I try to indicate why it might be wise to distrust, at least without very good evidence, what those in power tell us we should believe. We have well-known sayings about power: “Knowledge is power”, […]
To Believe in Science, You Have to Know How It’s Done
To Believe in Science, You Have to Know How It’s Done I met a climate crisis denier today. It came out of nowhere. I was getting my camera repaired, and I was chatting with the repairman afterward. Just before I left, he dropped into our conversation that he didn’t believe in manmade climate change. After […]
Film in the Anthropocene
Film in the Anthropocene Film is of course the art form of Industrial Civilization and its mass culture, whether as a simple historical fact, a manifestation of technical possibility, or in the various ideologies it is adept at expressing. But it is also the art form of the Anthropocene. I am overstating the case somewhat, […]

This is a long and dense read and not intended for the faint-hearted While most of us would accept there are two states of mind when it comes to perceiving reality, belief and disbelief, I posit there are three. And this third state of mind, the suspension of […]

The Entire Global Economy Now Hinges on One Thing As I write these words we are now only hours away from The Most Important Event Ever to Happen in the History of the Global Economy. Investors are bracing themselves. Markets are anticipating. Journalists are spilling Olympic sized swimming pools of ink on writing headlineafter headline after headline after headline after headline after headline about this, the […]
The Era of Dissolution
The Era of Dissolution The last of the five phases of the collapse process we’ve been discussing here in recent posts is the era of dissolution. (For those that haven’t been keeping track, the first four are the eras of pretense, impact, response, and breakdown). I suppose you could call the era of dissolution the […]
When the Herd Turns
When the Herd Turns Once market participants realize the top is in and the only possible result from here on is a loss, the herd will turn and follow the leaders who are selling. A funny thing happens when the stock market herd turns–all the usual central bank tricks no longer push the markets higher. […]
THE DEATH OF HOPE AND BELIEF
THE DEATH OF HOPE AND BELIEF As much as we would like to ‘believe’ we are all clear headed, logical individuals who only deal with verified ‘facts’ while shunning hearsay, rumor, ‘hope’ and ‘belief’, the reality is to some degree or another we integrate all of the above, and so much more, into our personal […]
QUESTION EVERYTHING, BELIEVE NOTHING – CH. 2
QUESTION EVERYTHING, BELIEVE NOTHING – CH. 2 There is a pretty common ‘belief’ among many that to ask questions of some ‘things’ that others consider settled or ‘true’ is a sign of weakness, of someone who is weak minded, indecisive or one who just can’t be trusted when the nitty gets gritty. They ‘believe’ that […]
