Bravo Brexit!<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

At long last the tyranny of the global financial elite has been slammed good and hard. You can count on them to attempt another central bank based\u00a0shock and awe campaign\u00a0to halt and reverse\u00a0the current sell-off, but it won\u2019t be credible, sustainable or maybe even possible.<\/p>\n

The central bankers and their compatriots at the EU, IMF, White House\/Treasury, OECD, G-7\u00a0and the rest of the Bubble Finance apparatus have well and truly over-played their hand. They have\u00a0created a tissue of financial lies; an affront to the very laws of markets, sound money and capitalist prosperity.<\/p>\n

After all, what predicate of sober economics could possibly justify $10 trillion of sovereign debt trading at negative yields?<\/p>\n

Or a stock market trading at 24X reported earnings in the face of a faltering global economy and a tepid domestic US business cycle expansion which at 84 months is already long in the tooth and showing signs of recession everywhere?<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s to say nothing of the endless ranks of insanely over-valued\u00a0\u201cstory\u201d stocks like\u00a0Valeant was and the megalomaniacal visions of Elon Musk still are.<\/p>\n

So there will be payback, clawback and traumatic deflation of the bubbles. Plenty of it, as far as the eye can see.<\/p>\n

On the immediate matter of Brexit, the British people have rejected the arrogant\u00a0rule of the EU superstate and the tyranny of its unelected courts, commissions and bureaucratic overlords.<\/p>\n

As Donald Trump was quick to point out, they have taken back their country. He urges that Americans do the same, and he might just persuade them.<\/p>\n

But whether Trumpism captures the White House or not, it is virtually certain that Brexit is a\u00a0contagious political disease. In response to today\u2019s history-shaking event, determined campaigns for\u00a0Frexit, Spexit, NExit, Grexit, Italxit, Hungexit and\u00a0more centrifugal political emissions will next\u00a0follow.<\/p>\n
