Its late October 2026

… just after a do-nothing Fed, as expected.
Why would anyone have expected the monetary maniacs at Print Central, to raise rates immediately before the midterms?
I posted about it around mid year, back when most were expecting no rate hikes. Some were calling for rate cuts… a few still are… for this Dec’9th.
Its partly just mainstream-sheep ignorance. Most of them copy each other, just as they did in school. Pathetic.

Ohh, and if you’re still reading, congrats. Most have already stopped. Now we can really speak freely, can’t we?
It sure is crazy out there isn’t it? Partly midterms related, but partly… just the unconscious understanding by the dumb sheep, that western civilisation is being systematically destroyed. Is it intentional, or was it merely inevitable?
As I’ve said for years, a sick society/species will one way or another, inherently destroy itself. We’re in the middle of it, not least in the UK/Europe. You’ve seen the videos. You’ve read the denials from the political class.
Some can see through…
… but we’re talking about a minority, no more than the usual ‘15%’, which would make for a good book, but I’ve not the time or energy for such a thing, and besides, too few would read it.
Only 3% have made it this far down. The further we go… the less will read, leaving only the truly enlightened left.
Whatever happens on Thursday in the market won’t much matter to me. My HOOD position will remain a disaster at least for another week… even if it starts to recover.
Anyway… I was meaning to bitch about the click-bait issue.
In the past week or two, I’ve hit unfollow, unsubscribe, or blocked a number of people on X and Youtube, some of whom I’ve followed for a considerable time, in some cases… years.
What is the percentage of videos on Youtube within the financial sphere who use the word ‘crash’ within the title or description? It feels like its almost nearing 100%.
CRASH ! Crash !
See… its a powerful word, whether upper or lower case.
It draws attention… even from the sceptics.
Most can’t resist but click on the video or article, and settle in for some doom-porn.
From a creator’s perspective, its all about the audience size. Whether to maximise ad revenue, or perhaps to draw someone into subscribing. Yes, the latter applies to me, but I sure as hell never posted click-bait since I started my public blog in Feb’2012. Those 14.5 years were pretty horrible, if ironically less for yours truly, than any of the sheep.
Anyway, I’m tired of the bulk of the financial blogosphere. Most have nothing useful to say. No original ideas. Nothing bold… just worthless slop. Is human slop worse than the AI kind ?
Most are highly partisan of course, and whilst I understand the Trump haters and lovers, both camps are intellectually retarded. Does the bulk even qualify as sentient? I’d accept the 85% can just be seen as NPCs.
I could never pander to the partisan hacks. Even if someone put a gun to my head. I’d ask them to pull the trigger, or maybe try to reach for the gun, and then initiate a murder-suicide. It sure seems better than pandering to the dumb, partisan, indebted, and of course… vaxxed… sheep.
Ohh yeah, we’re still on that issue. Its never going to go away for those who watched the other 85% go psycho, play along to the C19 mandates, and then line up for their mRNA shots.
Whilst it made for an incredible thing to witness, it remains a horror movie that I wanted no part of. It should be clear, all those sheep are ready and waiting to do it all over again. Less than a fraction of a percent have ‘woken up’ across the past SEVEN years. Yeah, its been seven years.
So I sit here.. late October of another year, as today was worse than yesterday, with tomorrow set to be worse than today.
For the one or two people who made it this far… congrats. You are the elite. You’re better than almost anyone else out there. Revel in your superiority above the dumb masses.
There is no realistic hope… as applies to both yours truly, and western society.
I was hoping I’d get to witness the downfall into 2032, but I guess not.
I’m open to the notion that were I able to post click-bait content, I’d have far more subscribers, and perhaps be living the life I use to believe possible.
But no. I can’t do it. Not even now… as I face the end.
