How To Triumph In 2021 Or Die Trying

 

''ā€œWe had seen God in his splendors, heard the text that Nature renders. We had reached the naked soul of men.ā€ ā€” Ernest Shackleton''

One Essential Insight

 

Welcome to 2021!

 

The New Yearā€™s edition of the Economic Prism is a place of wild conjecture. This is where we squint our eyes and peer out 12 months through our proprietary prism and report back what we discover.

 

Make no mistake, 2021 will be the year where everything under the sun happens precisely as it should. Some good. Some bad. Each day shall unfold before you with reciprocal imbalance. You can bet your bottom dollar on it. But what else?

 

Will gold top $3,000 per ounce? Will bitcoin hit $100K? What about the S&P 500, the yield on the 10-Year Treasury note, and the price of oil?

 

Will collateralized loan obligations (CLO) be roiled by mass corporate defaults? Will Walmart run out of toilet paper? Are we fated for complete social distortion? Did WWIII just commence in the South China Sea?

 

The answers to these questions weā€™re leaving to you this year. Trust your gut.

 

After a dismal 2020, and with Joe Biden returning to the White House, weā€™re eschewing predictions of the 12 months before us. Why bother? The Fedā€™s already said it will leave interest rates near zero through 2023.

 

Instead, weā€™re doing something different. With humility and modesty weā€™ve zeroed in on one essential insight. Our objective is to provide you something of practical value; something thatā€™ll help you navigate through the 2021 unknown.

 

Suckers, Chumps, and Fools

 

As context, those counting on government stimulus or relief payments to keep shoes on their feet and food in their bellies are going to be lacking. Indeed, many already are. But as disappointment has slipped to disenchantment something remarkable has happened. The populace has made ever greater demands for the government to do something.

 

In the midst of this, Americaā€™s fake news media recites the story of the national struggle with delicate and excruciating regularity. They frame all happenings from the locus of the two party political system. Any diverging views are carefully sifted out. Whatā€™s reported is only what the story script editors allow to pass through their single micron particulate filters.

 

We are told a never ending Marxian tale of the evil rich exploiting the noble poor. Weā€™re offered story after story with arduous focus applied to gradations of skin color, fractions of ethnicities, and the virtues of non-binary gender designations. Political correctness condescends any exceptions with forceful rigor. Step out of line and youā€™re brutally cancelled.

 

Even worse, weā€™re told the individual must submit to the greater good of the collective. That whatā€™s yours is theirs. Those who object are cast as selfish lowlifes. Thus, we must hunker down so that we may bend the curve.

 

On top of that, the goal of hard work and paying oneā€™s way in life has been reduced to a game for suckers. Stealth taxation through currency debasement has turned workers into chumps. Small business owners who believe in doing things themselves have been made out for fools.

 

But whatā€™s the alternative? Being crippled by dependency like everyone else?

 

By this, we firmly stand amongst suckers, chumps, and fools. Because suckers, chumps, and fools stand for freedom and independence. They want no part of endless government. They downright refuse it.

 

Moreover, in the face of todayā€™s assaults on liberty, suckers, chumps, and fools have come to embody the human spirit. And the human spirit, as we understand it, will triumph or die trying. Hereā€™s what we meanā€¦

 

The Human Spirit Writ Large

 

Henry Worsley should have called it quits. His hero, early 20th century Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, did. In 1909, Shackleton and three companions went closer to the South Pole than anyone had previously gone. But at 97 nautical miles away, and with death knocking at their door, they retreated.

 

ā€œA live donkey is better than a dead lion, isnā€™t it?ā€, Shackleton later asked his wife.

 

May you face the 2021 unknown with the human spirit of Worsley. May you triumph or die trying.

The CHINA threat and the rise of Globalism

 

by globalintelhub - Friday, Jan 01, 2021 - 23:28

 

''The real multi-threat is China, not COVID or Russia. Politics is no longer Democrat vs. Republican it's Globalist vs. Nationalist. ''

 

The real China virus spreading through the West is not COVID-19 or whatever the PC name of the Wuhan Virus is. The real threat to the current system is a virus of the mind, or memetic field. This is the clash of civilizations (as a metaphor) that intellectuals have discussed for decades. How deeply are the Chinese embedded into the American consciousness? In a recent leak, communist party members of the Chinese government were found working at corporations such as IBM, Microsoft, and others. They have made high level political alliances (financed by bribery and blackmail) in the US with powerful families like the Bidenā€™s, Rockefellerā€™s and many others. In an article titled ā€œRockefeller family's connection with China:ā€

 

The Rockefeller family's connection with China date back to 1863, when John D. Rockefeller sold his first kerosene to China and presented his first gift to China missions. The Rockefeller Foundation entered China in early 20th century when the West was moving toward modern ideals of evidence-based medicine. The foundation bought the Union Medical School and renamed it the "Peking Union Medical College."

 

Letā€™s take a step back and contrast China with other powers. Western Europe, South America, Japan, and most of the world operates their system in an open ā€œDemocratic Styleā€ system based on a mix of free market capitalism and state sponsored socialism (welfare state). Living in New Zealand is not so different than in Canada or Charlotte, NC, USA. They drive on the wrong side of the road down there, and drink a cuppa (thatā€™s TEA). In China there is internet police, you can spend 30 days or more in prison for using Facebook.com or watching NBA basketball. China has a domestic law that any technology or trade secrets must be shared with the military. The ā€˜Chineseā€™ joint venture company idea is for the explicit goal of IP theft.''They are a hardworking, wise, intelligent people, but not innovative, creative group. All this talk about how China is taking over the world, is mostly marketing by Chinese propagandists. In reality, their high IQ engineers have a problem of building their own jet engine:''

 

''*China faces urgent ā€˜unprecedented challengeā€™ to develop jet engine as foreign hostility grows''

 

''*A senior Chinese aviation engineer says it is an ā€˜urgent political taskā€™ for China to speed up development of its own jet engine''

''* Access to crucial technology is no longer guaranteed due to external hostilities and China must become more self reliant''

 

The mainstream media has even reported on this problem extensively, but at the same time claim itā€™s racist to name a virus after the town where it originated, the method used for the past hundreds of years (i.e. Spanish Flu). Why are the US Elite protecting these guys?

 

Recently it has been divulged that major news outlets like CNN, Fox and others have taken ā€˜private dinnersā€™ and ā€˜special tripsā€™ paid for by the Communist Chinese Government. Places where itā€™s easy to exchange a piece of paper with a BTC address on it, or slip a hard wallet and the key into someoneā€™s pocket. One thing is clear ā€“ you donā€™t see these facts being presented in the media, you see the opposite. Hiding the truth with false threats, leaving out critical points. For example, itā€™s a fact that Bill Gates predicted the pandemic down to the week. But they leave out the fact that the foundation (BMGF) ā€“what an abbreviation- was funding gain of function research on Coronavirus which was so controversial, it had to be done in Winnipeg, Canada under the supervision of constantly drunk Frank Plummer. Or that BMGF is the largest private contributor to the WHO, making the WHO basically a marketing arm for Bill Gates Vaccine Empire.

 

China is like a single Monopoly state run capitalism, whereby they can make a business deal with you in New York, but the IP and money all flows back to China, but in China, itā€™s a totalitarian dictatorship thatā€™s totally Communist. In other words, you can strike a deal with the Chinese government which tries to act like the worldā€™s largest hedge fund. In the Pre IPO industry, it is said the Xi monitors the ROFR on Chinese Unicorns and if he doesnā€™t bless the selling then the punishment is unknown, the perpetrators just vanish.
