How To Watch Your Doctor Destroy His Life PDF Version

Lets get something out of the way to start. Doctors who practice medicine are not overpaid. Based on their education, they make no more money than those in other professions that require the same number of years training.

There are doctors who make huge astronomical amounts of money. These kinds do not practice medicine. Doctors who work their way up the corporate ladder do make millions per year. They are not practicing medicine. Patients contribute nothing to their incomes.

Physician’s pay makes up only a small portion of a patient’s healthcare bill. If all patients had to do is pay their doctors, they would all be doing back flips. Doctors get blamed by patients because doctors are the face of healthcare patients see. So, they get blamed for what they have no control over. State run healthcare is what drives up healthcare costs. Continue reading →

Although I no longer use technical analysis for trading it is easy to see that based on technical indicators, the stock market is ready to simply disintegrate. It might as well be held up with toothpicks. Without organized support, the market would have already collapsed. My position for years there has been, that there is an ongoing movement that is designed to concentrate assets into the hands of the world’s wealthiest citizens. The quote below is from a 2019 article, A Nation Of Fools.

“The goal of the asset enhancement initiative is to is to concentrate stock ownership in the hands of a few who then decide what everyone else pays for shares of stock. Is there a theory behind this process? Of course there is. The theory is that high stock prices become a new normal. Keep security prices rising and the economy will follow and so on. Has GDP responded well? GDP is officially very good but how good is it in reality? It is hard to find growing prosperity within the masses who work very hard and come home tired everyday. We do have more working and making less per hour. Government spending is counted. When GDP needs to look good, government spending can be increased in whatever amount is needed for the purpose of publishing good looking numbers.” Continue reading →

The Price Of Safety Security And Freedom PDF Version

What is interesting about safety and and security is that human beings will pay almost any amount to avoid living in fear and feeling vulnerable. They will pay as high a price for the perception of safety and security as the real thing. The difference is not easily discernible.

Does government provide safety and security? It can and does sometimes , but it is more likely to provide the perception only. Who knows the difference? It is the feeling that counts. Where do they look to get it? They look in the same place all animals look. That is  the herd’s leadership. It may be the head male in a pride of lions, or the most powerful male water buffalo. With human beings , it is their government. In any case, to the ordinary herd members, the cost is staggering. Continue reading →

Anyone who reads this blog even occasionally may grasp the value of the circumstantial evidence  I frequently cite, showing that the stock market is not managed solely by the Federal Reserve, but  split second by split second. It is also managed by the media or more accurately by  those who control what the media writes. This is not accepted in the slightest by even the most astute market analysts in the country.

Is circumstantial evidence relevant in economic issues?

Well, in the United State, by way of the  legal system, based circumstantial evidence, defendants are routinely sent to prison. Often criminals are put to death based on circumstantial evidence? Few argue with the with the outcome of trials where circumstantial has been the deciding factor. Are there are in fact bad jury decisions? Are the decisions any better if if these they are handed down from the bench? Think through those two two questions.

What Folks Really Want From Government PDF Version

What do folks want from government? How can we determine what folks want? Those questions are easy to answer.  Look at who and what they vote for.

People want to feel safe. Government has no way to make life safe. Politicians can get elected by promising to keep citizens safe. Imaginary threats are even created as a means of providing opportunities for getting votes by means of making citizens feel safe. What is the point of making the population feel safe? It is an extremely profitable undertaking. Continue reading →

Animal Behavior In Humans PDF Version

Human beings generally are offended when animal behaviors are ascribed to them.

But, take even a casual glance, and it is easy to notice, especially in the aggregate, animal behavior is mostly what us exhibited. But, we don’t want it to be that way, right? So, the thinking brain is always assumed to be in charge. Seeing animal, or instinctive behavior can be noticed just by looking at some parallels.

Suppose a person sees a dog and wants to make use of its time and energy, in other words own it. What does a person do? He offers it a treat. With a few more treats, the dog bonds with the human and becomes loyal. The dog will then serve the human in countless ways that are worth for more than the treats. The dog will remain loyal even after a man whips it with a stick.

Suppose, Facebook want you to subscribe, so that they can make use of you as a target for advertising. What does Facebook do? It offers you a treat, which turns out to be a page where you can advertise yourself and all you do in the world.

Both dogs and humans will undergo substantial stress and hardship before giving up a treat.

Facebook can take away a human’s First Amendment rights, manage his opinions and expose him to propaganda from the state. This is abuse that rises to a higher level than whipping a dog. So, what does the human do? By no means is he going to leave Facebook. Facebook is the source of his treats.

Stocks will crash in the absence of a successful plan to save them.  Is there a plan? I can say this. For two years, the smart people have been drawing the public into the market. Any, chance the elite have been selling to the public throughout this period? What do you think?

When it crashes, the elite will ready. After it falls they will spend the next ten or so years buying more stock and further consolidating the ownership of equities.

In an earlier post, Expect The Announcement, I suggested that there was most likely an arrangement whereby major industries, especially big tech would be nationalized, with insiders being paid the high market value their stocks command. That makes sense, but the tech sector has been losing political power. This seriously diminishes the probability that this will happen. If techs fall fast enough, it won’t. Don’t think your lawmakers have any loyalty to any industry. They support them because they provide them with their political essence. Techs, banks and healthcare can easily be thrown under the bus and replaced with other moneyed interests.

The fact is that no one is in control of the economy or the government, no not anything or anybody.

Do expect trading platforms to fail at the most critical moments. This will be no accident. Trap the public so that the elites can get out with as little damage as possible. Also, look for online financial news sites to quit working or at least slowed down to a crawl.

I typically cite the healthcare industry to be mob owned and controlled. However, in reality, the mob controls all three branches of our government.

Why The European Union Is So Miserable PDF Version

Have ordinary citizens ever petitioned their government wanting to consolidate their governments into one unit? I remember no such initiative. So, does that simple observation mean anything? No, not unless you think about it.

Where do ideas for political initiatives come from? Do they just spring up from out of the concrete and embed themselves in the minds of the people? Probably not, but they do have to come from somewhere. Some might argue that these kinds of initiatives are divinely  inspired.

There are other possibilities. In today’s world all political initiatives are for profit. So, having all Europeans submit to a higher authority must be good for the various entities which make these things happen.

Here is exactly where the misery ensues.  Remember the old and underused adage of natural law, that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Unfortunately that bit of ancient wisdom and logic is only used as a platitude. Take it seriously and the world looks a lot difference and what happens makes sense.

The consolidation of power is much more conducive to absolute corruption than is the corruption present in the governments of each individual country. So you folks in Europe end up living in a hopelessly corrupt system.

One other point is that anonymity renders each individual as meaningless to a system’s leaders. So, if it seems nobody at the top loves you and you are only a cog in the wheel, that is because it is absolutely true.

Folks in Europe, don’t think I am picking on you alone. Here in the U.S., we are already further down the road to destruction than you are. Organized crime owns our healthcare industry. Our life expectancy is plummeting. Our citizens are compliant to the point of self destruction. Join us if you wish but I seriously advise you not to.

The Righteous and Ridicule PDF Version

Here is  a good definition of ridicule.

“The act of using words, gestures, images, or other products of expression to evoke laughter or contemptuous feelings regarding a person or thing.” American Heritage Dictionary.

Is ask you. is there ever an occasion where a good thinking, highly sentient, honest person should  use ridicule as a tool or for any reason? At first glance it seems one would  lower ones self considerably by engaging in such unsophisticated simple minded discourse.

Even non Christians seem to believe Jesus was honest and straight forward. Here is Jesus engaging in, lets say, righteous ridicule.  “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to” (Matthew 23:13

This is ridicule. Why would Jesus lower himself to engage in ridicule? Is there anything honest and straight forward he could say or do to change their behavior? No, absolutely nothing. Debating them would gain nothing. They were not truth seekers. They were the kind who would say or do anything to get what they want. Continue reading →
