On the morning of October 5, 1789, dozens of women were looking for food at an outdoor market in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine neighborhood of Paris. But the store shelves were nearly empty. Bread in particular– a staple of the French diet– was in critically short supply. And what little bread the shops did have available […]

A Different Way To Think About The Evergrande Collapse by Simon Black
Evergrande has roughly $300 billion in liabilities. Even if that entire amount goes to zero, it’s a small fraction of the Chinese banking system’s $5+ trillion in capital. I’d be much more concerned about Evergrande’s impact on China’s notoriously overleveraged ‘shadow banking system’, and their high-risk ‘wealth management products’. But we’ll save that for another […]
Another Brick In The Great Wall Of Coolangatta by Simon Black
Many Australians reached their breaking points on Sunday, defying lockdown orders so that they could meet with family members who lived across the state line. They met at the Wall… fathers on one side, their children on the other. Honestly it’s heartbreaking to see kids passing gifts across the wall to their dads and trying […]

On Censorship And Heresy by Simon Black
Then, of course, there’s PayPal and the Anti-Defamation League, which recently announced their own inquisition of fact checkers to decide if your online free speech is too “extremist” or “anti-government”. These terms, of course, are defined in the sole discretion of the fact checkers. Do you have a problem with the current administration? That might […]
How Long Will The US Dollar’s Dominance Last? by Simon Black
History, however, is very clear on this point: wealth and power shift. Reserve currencies change. And it would be foolish to assume that this time is different. Reserve currencies hold their status because the rest of the world has confidence– confidence in the soundness of the currency, confidence in the power and prestige of the […]

China’s ‘Social Credit’ System Has Arrived To America by Simon Black
For example, PayPal has announced an inquisition in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League to research funding for extremism on its payment platform. “PayPal and ADL will focus on further uncovering and disrupting the financial pipelines that support extremist and hate movements. In addition to extremist and anti-government organizations, the initiative will focus on actors and […]
New Government Program Helps You Snitch On Your Family Members by Simon Black
Recently a senior White House official announced a “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism”. And this new strategy includes programs for people to “seek help” from the government on behalf of anyone they “perceive to be radicalizing”. Their objective here is to prevent violence and domestic terrorism. That sounds noble enough. But even basic truths […]

Giving Your Freedom Back As If It Were Theirs To Take Away To Begin With… by Simon Black
You’ve almost certainly heard the news that the CDC in the Land of the Free has now decided that fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear a mask anymore. The President of the United States subsequently sent out a demeaning ultimatum via Twitter – The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask […]
“If A Lie Is Only Printed Often Enough, It Becomes A Quasi-Truth. . .” by Simon Black
This assertion was just flat-out untrue. It was such a big lie, in fact, that even the ultra-liberal “fact checkers” at Vox and the Washington Post had to admit that Dementia-in-Chief was totally wrong. But that hasn’t stopped people from repeating his lie over and over again. Then there’s the most egregious section of all: […]
YouTube Censors Panel Of Medical Experts Over Covid-19 “Misinformation” by Simon Black
The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis recently held a panel discussion to discuss recent research findings related to Covid-19. The expert panel included four professors of medicine from Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford Universities, who are all PhDs and experts in a field of disease research. And that just scratches the surface of their credentials relevant […]
Some Clear Thinking On The Yesterday’s Massive Deficit Announcement by Simon Black
Central banks typically fight retail price inflation by raising interest rates. But again, if they do raise interest rates, the US government will have to refinance its maturing debt at higher rates. Think about this: if Treasury rates were only as high as they were in 2008 before the last crisis, the US government would […]
The Most Normal Place In The World by Simon Black
We’re not human beings anymore. We’re nothing but diseased vermin. Literally just BREATHING around someone is now considered impolite, at best, and a crime at worst. I’ve been inside elevators where masked people face the walls and remain silent… because of COVID. Or they refuse to enter an elevator if another human being is on […]
Let Them Eat Woke by Simon Black
Today, under the new elites, the priority is no longer truth. It’s about force-feeding the narrative they want you to believe, whether about Covid, race, politics, climate change, or anything else. For example, when a deranged lunatic went on a rampage and killed eight people last week in Atlanta, six of whom were Asian, the […]

Freedom Saves Lives Too by Simon Black
In California, kids have still not gone back to school, masks are still required even when you’re outside, and indoor activities are strictly limited. Californians are still only supposed to leave home for “necessary” government-approved reasons. Meanwhile in Florida, the Governor never issued a statewide mask mandate. Bars and restaurants have been back at full […]

Gold vs. The Stock Market by Simon Black
Last year the Fed increased the supply of US dollars in the financial system (M2) by 26% – the single largest annual increase since 1943.

According to the CDC’s analysis, between March 1 and December 31 last year, statewide mask mandates were in effect in 2,313 of the 3,142 counties in the United States.

“This Is A Financial Revolution. . .” by Simon Black
So these funds shorted the stock in a huge (and dubious) way, selling more shares of the company than were actually in existence. And a number of small investors saw these questionable short positions and said, ‘Enough is enough. We’re tired of hedge funds exploiting the market.’ So they’ve banded together and bid up the […]
Five Ways To Loosen Big Tech’s Grip On Your Life by Simon Black
It’s clear these companies have an enormous amount of unchecked power. They have the ability to erase you from the Internet, destroy your reputation, and, if you’re someone who makes money online, terminate your livelihood. But the only reason they have this power is because we’ve given it to them. Hundreds of millions of people […]

Just a few days ago, in fact, the banking giant JP Morgan was fined nearly $1 billion for illegally manipulating precious metals prices.It turns out that, for at least six years, several traders at JP Morgan were engaging in ‘spoof trades’ of precious metals.
