RISK: STRATEGY VERSUS TACTICS

EASY READING CULTURE OF LIFE NEWS:  RISK: STRATEGY VERSUS TACTICS « Culture of Life News 2

YouTube – Risk Strategy versus Tactics Part1

The US military is supposed to have the best military minds working for it. Yet, they seem utterly incapable of understanding the concept of ‘strategy’. They mix it up with ‘tactics’. Since our politicians have no clue about war strategy, either, we end up making the same mistakes all previous empires make: trying to hold as much land as possible, using military force. I use the 1957 edition of the game ‘Risk’ to explain how this works. Continue reading

PUBLIC/PRIVATE ECONOMIC MESSES

 

Understanding the dynamics of economic and social systems is the key to preventing future travails.  We all would love to avoid catastrophes, yet these things seem to always happen, like clockwork.  We are now in the middle of the collapse of a World Order.  All World Orders, new or old, are usually situations where one or two empires control world trade and finances, usually via military dominance.  When these empires collapse due to accumulated war debts on top of ‘bread and circus’ overspending, we get chaos and a breakdown of the global consensus.

THE IMF AND THE DERIVATIVES BEAST

EASY READING CULTURE OF LIFE NEWS:  THE IMF AND THE DERIVATIVES BEAST « Culture of Life News 2

This is the latest IMF GDP growth graph.  The redder the country, the greater the growth rate.  The green parts are the slow or no growth parts.  Note that China is the biggest ‘fast growing’ portion.  Europe and the United Kingdom parts [Canada and Australia, for example] are all very slow growing as is Japan.  The US grew its GDP but did this via growing our debts.  Notice how the graph above shows a sudden surge from a bottom that is the beginning of 2009.  Right.  Also, the lines of the chart are, blue is the BRIC nations like China and India, grey is the world total and red is the G7 nations.  And guess what?  The differential in growth rates are supposed to remain?  In 1998, they were the same growth rate.  But even in this massive decline, are still nearly as wide apart as at the height of the credit bubble!  Not good news for us, in the US.

FAA ORDERED TOP SECRET AF1 FLIGHT OVER WTC SITE

EASY READING CULTURE OF LIFE NEWS:  FAA ORDERED TOP SECRET AF1 FLIGHT OVER WTC SITE « Culture of Life News 2

 

FEMA’s “Scary Thing” – April 29, 2009  coloring book made by the complete lunatics working for Homeland Security.  Note the psychobabble undertone in this children’s coloring book!  The lady sees a book with the same thing on TV while IT IS HAPPENING OUTSIDE IN REAL TIME!  Gads.

The paranoid business of the Air Force One terror photo op game gets more and more interesting as new details emerge.  For example, it turns out that the head of the Military Affairs in the White House wanted to keep this all top secret.  This has to be investigated because the entire business was totally insane.  How do you keep secret, an immense jet followed by two fighter jets, buzzing lower Manhattan and Jersey City?  The US government has gone stark, raving mad.  At least, at important junctures.

$360 TRILLION MYSTERY: BOND MARKETS CAN’T SUPPORT IT

EASY READING CULTURE OF LIFE NEWS:  $360 TRILLION MYSTERY: BOND MARKETS CAN’T SUPPORT IT « Culture of Life News 2bankrupt-financial-services

While everyone is finger pointing at everything under the sun, trying to evade responsibility for causing the entire planet’s financial systems collapse, we can plainly see that there is a deeper and more distressing melt down underway: the end of the US control of world currency and world trade.  Like all previous empires, ours is collecting debt relentlessly and thoughtlessly.  And extending these roll-over debts into longer and longer bonds which is why we have opted for a zero-interest rate regime.  Which means, we are committed to a very long depression.

WARREN BUFFETT IS A LYING, CHEATING BUFFOON

EASY READING CULTURE OF LIFE NEWS:   WARREN BUFFETT IS A LYING, CHEATING BUFFOON « Culture of Life News 2

world-trade-distortions

The deification of various hot-shot financial wizards is now coming to an end.  The very last ones, the Perot clan, Warren Buffett, the Donald Trumps of the high-flying super-rich are all going into the dustbin of history.  It was very easy to be fooled by these con men.  Buffett, for example, made a huge show of PRETENDING to be against the madcap derivatives market only to see his own ship begin to sink due to this exact same market.  And Perot, the guy with the charts and graphs who seemed to know what was going on, went piratical and ended up leveraging itself straight to the doors of bankruptcy.  And Trump is going bankrupt, yet again.

SWINE FLU FEAR VIDEO

EASY READING CULTURE OF LIFE NEWS:  SWINE FLU FEAR VIDEO « Culture of Life News 2

YouTube – Swine Flu Fear

The swine flu is a viral event very similar to the 1918 Spanish flu and the 1969 Hong Kong flu. It causes the immune system of very healthy people to go haywire. The lymph glands swell and the lungs fill with fluid and this is what makes this flu so deadly. I was one of the earliest victims of the Hong Kong flu and because I was an athlete and very healthy, it nearly killed me. Continue reading
