Silent Obedient Consent
by James Quinn
The Burning Platform
Yesterday we took advantage of another beautiful Fall day in Cape May. We decided to check out the Cape May Lighthouse State Park. It is at the very end of Cape May. It is an example of what the government can do right – Preserve a natural habitat without glitz or commercialization. It is just miles of wetlands and walking trails. The lighthouse, built in 1859 by the U.S. Army is still functioning today. Two previous lighthouses succumbed to the sea. It is a majestic structure, reaching 157 feet into the sky.
On the beach, not far from the lighthouse, is Battery 223. It is a crumbling concrete structure from World War II which was designed to protect against invasion by German forces. The structure was built with six-foot thick reinforced concrete walls and a thick blast proof roof; the entire building was covered with earth. The 6-inch guns had a nine-mile range. It is an interesting relic from our past. The dilapidated condition struck me as symbolic of our crumbling empire.
Reality On Post-Election Challenges

At this point all the screaming for money is treading dangerously close to the line of outright fraud and money-laundering.
Let’s cut the bull**** folks — there is no path in Congress in January.
The process is called out in 3 USC Section 15.
The first order of business for the new Congress is to seat its members. You could try to stop enough Democrats from being seated to deny them the majority, but since it’s a Democrat majority that won’t work unless you physically stop them. The only legal means to prevent it would be to have them under arrest on some charge; otherwise, since Congress makes its own rules on what is disqualifying you can forget it. Such challenges to seating members have been made in the past and occasionally succeed, but again — unless you’re talking about violence this is unlikely to go anywhere since there is a Democrat majority.
Global Inflation Watch
by Alasdair MacLeod
Gold Money
This article posits that fiat currencies are on the path to hyperinflation and looks at the evidence in the prices of financial assets and commodities. So far, gold has notably underperformed, which indicates that the early signals of hyperinflation are confined to the cryptocurrencies, whose participants broadly understand fiat debasement, to equities reflecting the desire not to maintain cash and deposit balances, and in international trade, where commodity prices of all stripes have risen in price.
Given that the early warnings of hyperinflation of money supply are here, the article then looks at the qualities required of a sound money to replace fiat currencies.
Introduction
Figure 1 shows how prices have moved from the Friday before the Fed’s announcement on 23 March that it would go all-in on its support for the US economy with unlimited quantitative easing. It amounted to a commitment to hyperinflate the money supply if needed. Before the Fed cut its funds rate to zero on 16 March nearly all these prices were falling.
Why the “Velocity” of Money Has Suddenly Turned Up

Final Day of the Quarantine
SAN MARTIN, ARGENTINA – Marta works for us at our house at the ranch. She comes down from her mountain puesto (outpost) on foot, a hike of about six hours.
She and her family are about as unsophisticated about money as anyone in Christendom. They live in a mud house, with a dirt floor and no microwave nor washing machine.
Their hands are as hard as boot leather. They get no newspapers. They see no TV. They are not readers of the Diary.
But even Marta is hip to the dangers of inflation.
“Could you change pesos for dollars?” she asked on Saturday.
You know you are near the end of a stock market bubble when taxi drivers begin giving you stock tips. But where are you when subsistence farmers high in the windswept Andes begin to trade currencies?
Trump Praises Carter Page’s Lawsuit Against FBI and DOJ, Asks ‘Where’s Durham?’
by Chuck Ross
DailyCaller.com
President Donald Trump expressed frustration Sunday at the pace of Justice Department investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, while praising a lawsuit that his former campaign aide Carter Page filed against the FBI and Justice Department on Friday as “good news.”
“Where are they with Comey, with McCabe, with Brennan with all these people? They lied, they leaked, they spied on our campaign,” Trump asked during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Trump was lamenting that the Justice Department was not investigating allegations of voter fraud in various swing states. He brought up an investigation led by U.S. Attorney John Durham into FBI and CIA intelligence-gathering activities related to the Trump campaign in 2016.
Michigan’s GOP-Led Legislature Does Not Schedule Hearings with Trump Attorneys Like Arizona, Pennsylvania
by Kyle Olson
Breitbart.com
President Donald Trump’s lawyer, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, is visiting key states to detail voter fraud allegations, but a source with direct knowledge of the situation told Breitbart News that statehouse Republican leaders in Michigan will not approve a similar appearance.
On Tuesday, Giuliani and fellow Trump counsel Jenna Ellis reviewed numerous allegations of “election irregularities” in Pennsylvania.
“In the case of Philadelphia and in the case of Allegheny County and one or two other counties, the mail-in ballots that were received were not inspected at all by any Republican. They were hidden from Republicans,” Giuliani told a Senate committee, CBS 3 reported.
“If there is any hint of fraud out there, we need to investigate,” Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R) said during the hearing.
We Have Immune Systems, New York Times Reveals
by Jeffrey A. Tucker
The American Institute for Economic Research
Scrub and spray everything with chemicals, bathe in Purell, mask up, stand no nearer to anyone else than six feet, stay away from crowds, douse yourself with alcohol, wash your hands and face raw, protect yourself from germs at all costs.
Some nations are closed completely. No one in or out.
We panic about “cases” even when they say nothing about severe consequences. Avoidance and finally suppression are the watchwords of the day, for a virus that is relatively mild by any historical standard, as Holman Jenkins just explained:
U.S. government scientists now estimate that 40% of cases are asymptomatic and 80% of symptomatic cases are mild—in short, 88% of subjects don’t know they are infected or have no great incentive to find out if they are suffering from Covid or some more familiar bug.
We could also mention the 99.9% survival rate, and that doesn’t consider the wildly disproportionate risk between the sick and healthy.
LA Cancels Christmas: All Gatherings Banned Except Protests and Church
by Mac Slavo
SHTF Plan
Residents in Los Angeles have been ordered to stay at home on house arrest until Christmas week. All gatherings except those done for church & protesting have been prohibited.
Residents are advised to stay home as much as possible and always wear a face-covering over their nose and mouth when they are outside their household and around others, according to RT.

Besides take-out and delivery, restaurants and bars will remain closed under the new demand. Certain other “non-essential” facilities, such as playgrounds and card rooms, will be closed altogether. Outdoor recreation will be “permitted”, but only for individuals from the same household, who will be required to wear face coverings and remain six feet away from other people.
Finding Value in an Over-Priced World with Dan Ferris
from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network
According to Dan Ferris, editor of Extreme Value, intrinsic value has never changed throughout history. How you go about analyzing it is another story and it has changed much over time. Whereas, we used to use book value, asset value and other objective measures, now we look more to future events. The idea of reducing the value to book value or p/e no longer makes sense to Dan. The numbers are all history and they’re the result of actions taken by management in the past. This type of analysis can easily miss the boat. You look at what management did and ask if they can keep doing it or do it even better? Are there hidden assets that could be put to better use? Hidden assets tend to find you. Dan looks for optionality. The ability to grow over time even if it’s a wasting asset. Dan gives an example of finding companies that are rolling up their industry and consolidating it. Insurance and waste management are examples. You never know when a deal will come along that will transform the company. Dan is is industry agnostic and will examine any and all industries. Right now he’s avoiding commercial real estate and retail for obvious reasons. He’s North America focused but could go outside the US should the opportunity arise, but Dan is reluctant. And why should he, he’s found amazing success right here at home.

Voter Fraud Exposed in Pennsylvania, Same Voter Fraud Everywhere, Happy Thanksgiving
Greg Hunter’s Weekly News Wrap-Up for November 26th, 2020
by Greg Hunter
USA Watchdog
Voter fraud was on display Thursday at a hearing put on by the Pennsylvania State Legislature. The hearing was given to legislators responsible for allocating the state’s 20 Electoral College votes for President of the United States. Massive voter fraud was alleged by Rudy Giuliani, who is spearheading the President’s election legal team. Giuliani highlighted dozens of people who witnessed fraud on many levels. One expert testified Biden had nearly 600,000 votes dumped on his side of the ledger, while Trump vote dumps were 3,200. All states have at least one illegal thing in common and that is mail-in ballots that were fraudulently counted and used. The Trump team says it will prove in court the President won on election night by a landslide, and fraud stole the election from him in several states.
Corona-Absurdity Collides with California, New York, and Thanksgiving
by John Tamny
Real Clear Markets
“The coronavirus takes a lunch break.” That’s the running joke among the students and parents at a rather elite grade school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Due to hysteria among the teachers about the virus, masks are required at all times of the day. Even on the fields of play.
The challenge for this school’s educators has been lunch. Amazing as capitalism is, it hasn’t devised a way short of intravenous feeding for human beings to eat without opening their uncovered mouths. Which means the coronavirus miraculously takes a lunch break each day. For about an hour everyone can rest – and breathe – easy.
This past Sunday, public health officials banned all outdoor dining in Los Angeles County for three weeks. Right as the Christmas shopping season begins, state employees who will never miss a meal chopped SoCal businesses off at the knees. If you’re even mildly compassionate, it’s hard not to be sickened.
What Should I Be Thankful For?
by Karl Denninger
Market-Ticker.org
Should I be thankful?
For what?
For four more years of medical******of the American people? $3 trillion a year, more or less? That’s nearly $12 trillion stolen and zero people have been charged, convicted or sentenced. ******n every one of the people involved in stealing that straight to Hell.
For the intentional refusal to treat Covid19 symptoms early, leading directly to the death of over 250,000 Americans? I thought we had a right to try? Really? What sort of bull**** is that? How is it that the known early, yes, not peer-reviewed, data on Ivermectin and HCQ, when used early, has not led to immediate use by Americans on a routine basis?
Said Right to Try legislation allegedly permits someone who is terminally ill to use any “Phase 1” approved drug, whether completed with trials or not. But decades-old law permits any physician to prescribe anything “off label” they think might work; in fact 20% of prescriptions nationally are “off label.”
Some Rationality on Covid Lockdowns from President Trump’s Supreme Court
by Monica Showalter
American Thinker
The wisdom of President Trump’s Supreme Court choices, including Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, was laid out with this week’s ruling on whether New York’s leftist Gov. Andrew Cuomo has the power to capriciously order extended church, mosque and synagogue shutdowns on supposed COVID concerns.
According to John Solomon at JustTheNews:
In a 5-4 decision, the court said Cuomo’s restrictions violated the Constitution’s First Amendment right to freedom of worship and granted an injunction barring the rules from being enforced.
“Members of this Court are not public health experts, and we should respect the judgment of those with special expertise and responsibility in this area,” the majority opinion said. “But even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten. The restrictions at issue here, by effectively barring many from attending religious services, strike at the very heart of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty.”
Which was a wise ruling indeed. Cuomo had targeted religious institutions with special venom as if he wanted an entire young generation to go without any memory of religious services. He had a special little cold spot for synagogues.
Senseless Restrictions on Outdoor Activities Undermine the Goal of Curbing Covid-19
By arbitrarily foreclosing relatively safe social and recreational options, politicians encourage defiance, resentment, and riskier substitutes.
by Jacob Sullum
Reason.com
Nearly a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, many questions about the virus that causes the disease, including the infection fatality rate, the significance of mutations, and the efficacy of lockdowns, remain controversial. But epidemiologists and public health specialists have reached a consensus on at least one point: The risk of virus transmission is much lower in outdoor settings than it is indoors, especially when the latter spaces are poorly ventilated, crowded, and occupied by people who are expelling a lot of respiratory droplets by talking, singing, coughing, or sneezing. Yet some state and local governments have responded to the ongoing surge in newly identified infections by imposing irrational restrictions on outdoor activities that are bound to test the patience of Americans as they try to “hang in there” until vaccines are widely available.
“The Fraud Was Executed by Many Means”: Sidney Powell “Releases Kraken” with Dual Lawsuits in Michigan, Georgia
from Zero Hedge
Sidney Powell has finally released the Kraken – filing two lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia late Wednesday alleging massive schemes to rig the election for Joe Biden.
In Georgia, Powell claims in a 104-page complaint filed in the US District Court in Atlanta that the purpose of the scheme was “illegally and fraudulently manipulating the vote count to make certain the election of Joe Biden as president of the United States.“
“Old-fashioned ballot-stuffing” has been “amplified and rendered virtually invisible by computer software created and run by domestic and foreign actors for that very purpose,” the suit continues, adding that “Mathematical and statistical anomalies rising to the level of impossibilities, as shown by affidavits of multiple witnesses, documentation, and expert testimony evince this scheme across the state of Georgia.”
Biden Urges Americans to ‘Forgo Family Traditions’ on Thanksgiving as Democrats Flout Their Own Rules
by Penka Arsova
LaCorte News
Joe Biden pleaded with Americans on the eve of Thanksgiving Day to skip family tradition for the holiday and help hinder the spread of the coronavirus. Meanwhile, he has remained silent on reports of several high-profile Democrats who violated their own pandemic-related rules.
What he said: Biden gave a Thanksgiving address on Wednesday where he largely spoke about the coronavirus pandemic and his plan on how to handle it. He echoed calls from public health officials to scale down Thanksgiving celebrations and said he will do the same.
“We all have a role to play in beating this crisis. The federal government has vast powers to combat this virus. And I commit to you I will use all those powers to lead a national coordinated response,” he continued. “But the federal government can’t do it alone. Each of us has a responsibility in our own lives to do what we can to slow the virus. Every decision we make matters. Every decision we make can save a life.”
Biden noted that he and his wife, Jill Biden, plan to celebrate Thanksgiving in their Delaware home, with their daughter and son-in-law, while “the rest of the family will be doing the same thing in small groups.”
