Even a modest bear market will go a long way towards destroying the deep state. Deep State operatives are buying outright to control the trend of the market. What is their alternative?
The choice is to invest more outright or have ones wealth completely devastated by natural market forces. The Deep State has absolutely nothing to loose by using their own resources to support the value they already have. The only alternative is to absorb a guaranteed loss and run the risk of ceasing to exist. Continue reading
Thinking devoted to the task of survival is a different task than thinking as a way to create happiness. At times it makes sense to emphasize thinking for survival. Without survival happiness is not a possibility. Without surviving somewhat above the subsistence level happiness is not very likely. 
Why do Americans complain about corruption? Americans create their own corruption. 
There are three socialist armies currently vying for power. These are:
In the summer of 2018 Robert J. Jackson, Jr a Trump Appointee discovered that there is not a lot of innocence in the area of corporate buybacks. He noted that insiders sell stock just as the corporate buybacks are ongoing. Wow, what a surprise! It doesn’t take a genius to figure these things out. It does take a genius to know the best time to figure these things out.
The campaign for the 2020 presidential election has be begun. Donald Trump has less than impressive polling numbers. Those numbers are extremely high in today’s political arena. Although he is well under 50%, there is not a politician in the western world who rates anywhere near that high. Donald Trump has his supporters focused on building the wall. He has them repeating meaningless mantras like “Make America great again.” Meaningful news is never reported. Congress never shares knowledge with constituents. If they did most lawmakers would lose their jobs. In a free society, citizens need information to accomplish the task of managing government. Since only a handful of constituents know what is really going on in the world or what genuine issues are in play, ordinary people have no effect on what government does or doesn’t do.
So the stock market gets organized support. Is the news bad? If it is the market gets extra support. Is the news good? Then the market get just enough support. I have written a lot to the effect that there are advantages to centralizing and concentrating stock ownership into strong cooperative hands. Each day that goes by, corporate buybacks and central bank purchases take trade-able stock out of circulation. With every passing day, the task of elevating stock prices gets easier. There is less supply so moving stocks higher gets easier and easier. What is the end game here?
How much difference does it make if the president of the United States has been a whore monger for most of his life? In my opinion it would make a world of difference except that with presidents, a thing like whore mongering is perfectly normal. The president of the United States is the person who is the current winner of life’s ongoing dominance and subservience competition. Winning at the dominance and subservience game requires certain personality attributes ordinary people don’t have. One of those is a sense of entitlement as in everything in the world is his. He just has to figure out how to get it. 
A political event like a presidential or congressional campaign can be easily explained with some analogies.
