Adam Rozencwajg: Peak Oil Arrives in the US Shale Patch. Are You Ready?

The main battle I’ve been fighting in the health space since Covid began is principally one between abstractions and reality.  Fighting against me were (are) those who think of their efforts in abstract terms like “the greater good.” They would say things like “We have to combat vaccine hesitancy in the interest of achieving the...

What Happens if Trump Repeals Income Taxes?

Janet Yellen left Trump a poison pill in the form of a maxed-out debt ceiling and only a couple of months of cash in the kitty. Deep Seek swarmed over NVDA and OpenAI's moat as if it were a muddy puddle. Trump coyishly hinted at eliminating individual income taxes. Wow! A turbulent table has been set.

China Rising: Has the West Lost Its Edge?

The Dollar Declines, Tariffs In View, And No Free Lunches

Ed sees a Fed rate cut coming as a result, and a market correction too – at least in the risk assets.  And heck – maybe the BLS will actually report the truth for a change, just to make Orange Hitler look bad, which will add fuel to the fire.  Of course, I thought they’d...

Trump, Russia, and the West: The Diplomacy That Wasn’t

Note:  Below is a comment pulled from a very long forum thread.  I thought everybody should read and discuss it, but very few were likely to encounter it (as it was #645 out of 664).  Let’s discuss.  ~ Chris Martenson This is such a sad and pathetic time in history.

If This Is Trump’s Strategy, It’s a Good One

Trump's actions are consistent with a strategy designed to confuse and dismay his (our) deep state opponents and get them either on board or fighting amongst themselves. If this is the case, I fully support the approach!

Incompetence on Parade: What the CA Fires Say About Our Future

The California fires are both literally and metaphorically alarming.  At face value, they represent an enormous tragedy for the afflicted people.  The same, for me, as those of Lahaina Hawaii, or Western North Carolina.  I do not place a premium on rich people’s suffering. However, the economic scale of the CA fires is magnitudes higher...

Gold In Euros At An All-Time High, It Was Payrolls Friday, & Here’s What’s Next

The new all-time high for gold in euros (and in many other currencies too), while silver lags badly, and the miners lag even more, suggests this isn’t about “inflation” (which of course still exists) – it is something else.  Gold and the buck rallying together is unusual – it feels like a flight to safety. ...

The Sloppy Doctors Behind The Latest RFK Jr. Attacks

Pharma is back on the attack, this time the target is RFK Jr, and they think that doctors are still a good attack vector.  This is weird because doctors have lost more trust, more suddenly, than any profession ever. And for good reason.  The majority of them proved to be mere cogs in a machine...
