At the bitter end of a long, long argument about it, I stubbornly maintain
that being paranoid and hostile is not, in any real way, related to my
being such a sub-par husband and father, which, now that we are talking
about it, is actually the result of a lot of other people (not naming any
names) having wildly unrealistic expectations that were WAY too high.
Like, by a mile, in most cases.
On the contrary, being paranoid and hostile is a natural, organic
reaction, namely, where sections of one’s DNA turn on or off as a
self-preservation response to the huge exogenous shock to the nervous
system of the evil Federal Reserve creating so impossibly much excess
money and credit that asset prices (stocks, bonds, real estate) have been
inflated to unbelievable, unsustainable heights, and half the country is
now receiving a government check each month.
These are, unfortunately, big, big, BIG, economy-exploding things that are
now long, long overdue for a huge, painful correction back to, in yet
another irritating spate of Mogambo Pointless Alliteration (MPA), some
scattered semblance of sanity.
Unfortunately, big deflations in asset prices would, at a leverage of 90%
borrowed and 10% capital -- or more! -- cause instant, massive bankruptcy
at the slightest downturn, since virtually all money is in the leveraged
stock, bond and derivatives markets, whether you like it or not, which is
kind of stupid of me to say since nobody would like it, which just proves
how weird things are these days.
But who wouldn’t be an angry paranoiac after a lifetime of suffering
treachery after treachery? Like, for example, how teachers, police, and
court-appointed morons always immediately fixate on blaming me, as some
mythical “bad parent,” for the misbehavior of my stupid children when they
are accidentally left unsupervised for a few hours, or a couple of days,
max.
Like all I have to do in life is watch a bunch of stupid kids, instead of
out frantically scratching and scraping for more dollars with which to buy
gold and silver to save the butts of the aforementioned stupid kids, and
the sweet butts of their wonderful, delightful parents, when this whole
bizarre, Keynesian-inspired deficit-spending stupidity finally destroys
the world.
Or how about how I am always losing my stupid job? Why? Because the other
employees secretly plot against me just because (they claim) I am lazy and
incompetent so that they end up doing my work, too, even though we all
know they hate me because I know that they are idiots who are not buying
gold and silver in perilous economic times like these, even though I tell
them over and over and over to do so.
I mean, who’s the victim here?
Or how about all my neighbors being rude to me because they are hateful
little rodent-people, bristling with resentment about being informed that
they are stupid, as in one recent episode where I was charmingly friendly
and convivial, casually asking a neighbor out mowing his stupid lawn,
“Hey, moron! Are you buying gold and silver bullion because the evil
Federal Reserve and all the other central banks of the world are creating
so insanely much cash and credit, under the laughable delusion of
Keynesian economic idiocies, that we are doomed to an inflationary
collapse, or are you still a moron?”
And then they get all huffy because they refuse to understand.
“Don’t be obtuse, you morons!” I haughtily say, knowing that they
don’t know the definition of obtuse is to refuse to understand something,
because then I would have something ELSE to throw in their stupid faces
the next time they say to me “Well, Mister Know-It-All Mogambo (MKIAM),
you have been wrong about silver and gold for more than a year, so that
anybody who listened to your stupid advice lost money, and they also lost
all credibility by actually believing anything you said, you horrible man,
whose own children think you are horrible, too, as revealed in the first
paragraph!”
Like most Earthlings, they are morons about gold and silver, even though I
have told them countless times How Things Always Are (HTAA), which is that
you have to own silver and gold at the end of long monetary booms, and if
you don’t, then you are a moron, regardless of any temporary aberrations
caused by deliberate manipulation of the gold markets by the Federal
Reserve. Nice and simple. So
where’s the justice for ME?
But, mostly, my paranoia and hostility stems from contemplating the
world’s One Big Problem (OBP). Namely, backbreaking debts created by
central banks that are now so incomprehensibly huge, incalculably huge, so
impossibly huge that it is an overwhelming sum, involving, as it does,
virtually all the money, assets and debt in the Whole Freaking World
(WFW), which is a pile so gigantically big that not even Superman, strange
visitor from another planet with powers and abilities far beyond those of
mortal men, could lift it.
And it’s all leveraged to the maximum, all-or-nothing hilt to magnify
looming losses, with so much debt known and unknown, so many parts and
players known and unknown, pandemic political corruptions and frauds known
and unknown, with so many divided loyalties back-stabbing each other, with
so many treacherous cross-currents, cross-ownerships, grudges and revenge
blood-lust that it cannot possibly be understood except as the supreme,
swirling, stinking cesspool of everything turning to valueless crap,
stinking and swirling and spiraling down the old crapper, which,
fortunately, is merely a problem of hydrologic engineering, which is VERY
well-understood.
So, what’s new? Internal metrics of the stock, bond and housing markets
deteriorating? Sub-zero bond yields? The Swiss voting on owning more gold?
The evil International Monetary Fund (IMF) suggesting that we dump the
fiat dollar and fiat euro in favor of a fiat Special Drawing Right (SDR)
drawn on the selfsame IMF?
Foreign countries forming trading blocs to the exclusion of the U.S.
dollar? The Ebola virus being a Black Swan Event, or even a Butterfly
Effect event? Asteroids plunging into the Earth? Volcanos erupting?
Earthquakes? Drought?
Invasions of ravenous vampire zombie space creatures from Mars?
It gets -- yikes! -- worse every day, in every way, and the only thing of
which one can be absolutely sure, beyond a doubt, take it to the bank, is
that the foul Federal Reserve, along with the other intellectually-corrupt
central banks of the world, will create all the gigantic, exponential
amounts cash and credit necessary to, if they have to, literally, buy up
the entire stock market to keep prices high, just as they are doing for
bonds. How can you NOT have stock market and bond market booms around the
world when the central banks are busily creating the money and debt with
which to buy stocks and bonds?
