Kunstler: The Sound of One Wing Flapping

And suddenly the storms of early Trumptopia subside, or seem to. The surface of things turns eerily placid as the sweets of May sweep away the toils of an elongated mud season. Somebody stuffed Kim Jong Un back in his bunker with a carton of Kools and the Vin Diesel video library. France appears resigned to Hollandaise Lite in the refreshing form of boy wonder Macron. It’s been weeks since The New York Times complained about the Russians stealing Hillary’s turn as leader of the free world. We’re given to understand that Congress managed overnight to cook up a spending bill that will avert a Government shut-down until September. Rest easy America… oh, and buy every dip.

A calm surface is exactly what Black Swans like to land on, though by definition we will not know they’re out there until our reveries are broken by the sound of wings flapping. Some kind of dirty bird showed up on Canada’s thawing pond last week when that country’s biggest home loan lender suffered a 60 percent pukage of shareholder equity and had to be bailed out — not by the Canadian government directly, but by the Ontario Province’s Health Care Workers Pension Fund, a neat bit of hocus pocus that amounts to a one-year emergency loan at ten percent interest.

If that’s a way for insolvent public employee pension plans to find enough “yield” to meet their obligations, then maybe that could be the magic bullet for the USA’s foundering pension funds. The next time Citibank, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and friends get a case of the Vapors, let them be bailed out by the Detroit School Bus Drivers’ Pension Fund at ten percent interest. That ought to work. And let Calpers take care of Wells Fargo.

The situation across Western Civilization is as follows: virtually every major financial institution has become a check-kiting operation or a Ponzi scheme, and we’ve reached the point where they can only pretend to be rescued. Bailout or not, the Toronto-based Home Capital Group is still stuck with shit-loads of non-performing sub-prime mortgage loans — its specialty — and Canada’s spectacular real estate bubble has hardly begun to pop. The collateral is starting to turn, like dead meat in the May sunshine, and the odium will waft across the border.

It doesn’t take much to blow things up, as the world discovered in several other historically recent episodes. The 1998 banking contagion started with the collapse of Thailand’s currency, called the baht. I doubt you could count on one hand the number of people in Wall Street or the Federal Reserve (with its 300-plus PhD economists) who gave a flying fuck about the Thai baht. Before you knew it, South Korea and Indonesia started whirling around the drain. And then Russia felt the suck. And then the Nobel Prize winning economists at a Connecticut hedge fund called Long Term Capital Management found out the hard way that their “secret sauce” investment formula which “could not fail in the life of this universe or several like it,” fatally poisoned its balance sheet on a repast of Russian sovereign bonds after only about eighteen months. And it took all the poobahs of American banking to paper over the firm’s death about five minutes before the global banking system would shut down via the greatest daisy chain of cross-collateralized financial booby-traps ever assembled.

And ten years later, there was the fiasco of 2008, starring Lehman Brothers and a demonic host of grifters trafficking in worthless bonded debt around the sub-prime mortgage racket tied into a toxic web of “derivative financial products” — i.e. bad bets between insolvent counter-parties masquerading as “insurance” against unsound investment. Trillions of bailout monies conjured out of thin air fixed that, oh yes it did!

So enjoy the festivities around the Maypole today, and the suddenly calm waters of global affairs, and keep your ears pricked for the sound of wings flapping.

    We Grow a Lot More Than You May Think

    Ag Facts

    Why is the agriculture and agri-food sector so important? It’s a colossal contributor to the lives of all Canadians. It feeds us, as well as our economy. It employs us, and depends upon the environmental stewardship of our farmers. It is fuelled by innovation and ingenuity. In short, it grows a lot more than you may think!

    The agriculture and agri-food industry contributes over $100 billion annually to Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP). (That’s more than the national GDP of 2/3 of the world’s countries).

    http://www.agr.gc.ca/eng/about-us/publications/we-grow-a-lot-more-than-you-may-think/?id=1251899760841

    We have so few humans here and so much land and resources it’s obscene. Hell Canada is even going to be feeding many Americans too and still have plenty.

    Two Days After Climate March 80 Million U.S. Residents are Under Threat of Severe Weather

    “Massive Jet Stream Wave Produces Severe Heat, Storms

    Still vastly under-reported in mainstream broadcast weather media is the fact that polar warming in the Northern Hemisphere appears to be having a harmful influence on middle latitude atmospheric circulation. The south-to-north energy transfers contributing to a more rapid warming of the northern polar region as the world heats up overall is combining with larger warming producing more powerful heatwaves and droughts over highly populated areas.”

    80 Million Under Severe Weather Threat

    Saturday and Sunday, this storm system generated record river crests and related extreme flooding as 5-10 inches of rainfall inundated a region including Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. Vicious tornado strikes ripped through East Texas. A late-season blizzard dumped as much as 20 inches of snow on the high plains. And, as mentioned above, record heat stifled the Eastern U.S. ahead of the storm.

    We have so few humans here and so much land and resources it’s obscene. Hell Canada is even going to be feeding many Americans too and still have plenty.

    ApneaTurd, you have no idea how proud I am regarding the giant Canadian performance in all things agricultural. Chapeau! You folks are quite the Ubermenschen. And just to put the matter in perspective a little, here some statistics, to make Canadian achievements shine even more:

    http://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0712/top-agricultural-producing-countries.aspx

    Agricultural exports (2010):

    USA $118B
    Netherlands $79B
    Germany $71B
    France $68B
    Brasil $55

    For some reason, mysterious to me, giant Canada is not listed. So I looked it up.

    Canada $46B (2013)

    Now if we offset this data against population and area, we get this list:

    Country, area in million km, population in million and export in billion $

    US 10 330 118
    NL 0.04 17 79
    CA 10 35 46

    If you look at these figures, one immediately notices what an agricultural giant Canada really is, in comparison to the US.

    Seriously, you have 250 times as much soil as the Netherlands and twice the number of people and yet all output you can scratch from the soil is half of what the Cloggies produce. With these embarrassing facts I would really feel ashamed of myself.

    Loser.

    The Chinese are a standard deviation smarter than Muslims and can be expected to take you over silently and effortlessly. Bye-bye Maple-Leaf country.

    Muslims in one’s country have a mobilizing effect of anti-immigration forces.

    Immigration maybe “inevitable”, but so is ethnic cleansing. It’s just like a clock:

L.A., Jew York, the uS fed, Palm Springs, London, Moscow, Paris, Florida etc. Your people are busy carving out their own little private enclaves in the west bank of Palestine. The Chinese have nothing on Cloggeds tribe when it comes to enclaves.

    Chinatowns are as old as….well hundreds of years anyway. Manila has the oldest.

    As for the Jet Stream wandering, yep, it is getting wilder and wilder as climates change and the world heats up. This past winter should prove that. This summer will only make it more obvious. Farming and crops depend on a steady climate. When that goes away, so does the food supply and it can happen in one growing season.

    American ‘food security’ is now just a few words in the dictionary, like the word “freedom” is. Gone.

    Hair clog, y’all count flowers and other non edibles as agriculture. The question is when the global food chain stops, can you produce enough to feed yourselves? How much of the Netherlands agri is faggety flowers grown in hot houses? Canada has thousands of kilometres of prairie and can feed itself without one single import and produce enough to feed the US too, but they grow even more grains. It’s grains, grains, grains that feed the world not flowers flown over seas on air planes.

    Starvation in the West is certainly coming. No doubt. First, nothing can be made 100% sustainable, not even agriculture with the best of intentions. Second, as more and more 3rd worlders take over the west, expect the “industrial’ performance of the west to approach corresponding 3rd world level as well. And the 3rd world is not known to be able to feed itself beyond some hunter-gatherer techniques.

    “All countries will be impacted by the coming economic hurricane, but the effects will vary. Those in the US and Europe will experience the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. Those in Australia and Japan will experience a Category 4. Countries in the third tier will experience a Category 3, and those countries that are either distant from or the least economically dependent upon the epicentres will experience Category 2 or even Category 1 damage.”

    Hard to say. Especially since practically the whole of 3rd world is dependent on food charity from the west. Biggest ape feeder being the US. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    As Switzerland was not engaged in any ww2 activity, but completely shut off from import during the war, every soccer field, slope, swamp and hill had to be planted with potatoes to be able to survive with food rationing. 60 years later population has doubled and a lot of beautiful and scarce flat land has been built over.

    https://twitter.com/Pamela_Moore13/status/858827330227060736

    I would guess that a 55-45 result would be likely and perhaps even a small chance of le Pen winning, although le Pen at this stage is further behind than Trump was. Le Pen is guaranteed to win though in 5 years max.

    Le Pen meanwhile did a concession to the traditional pro-EU right and is willing to accept the euro, at least as a parallel business currency for Eurasian trade and hotels, etc. and the franc for in the supermarket.

    It will probably be the same with these froggie media junkies, who will yet again be fooled by their globalist media and be talked into a Macron banker presidency, who after 3 months will have an approval rating of 5%, but stuck with him for another 5 years.

    Perhaps Switzerland, Britain, Iceland and Turkey can set up an alliance and together give the finger to Brussels.

    We’ll promise to “wave” back.

    LOL. Ok will do.

    Can’t believe you like it being conquered by germany just like that, the sneaky way via Brüssel. Have you no national pride, Clog? 🙂

    Yes I have, but European pride in addition. And why would I be anti-German; I am German myself, Anglo-German that is.

    But we have bigger fish to fry than dancing the clog dance:

    We have the potential to be the global #1, like we have been for centuries, and we’ll realize that potential, after this brief Anglo-Soviet intermezzo.

    You and your British friends can count money; we Europeans (world-wide) are going to explore the universe.

    Clog, that’s your problem you’ve got Grössenwahn. 🙂
    “We have the potential to be the global #1”

    You don’t have to be #1 to have a good life and you don’t have to be big to have a good life, either. Small, clever and agile is key.

    While I agree to an extent about why Cloggie blames nations for why German politics became so barbaric before ww2, Cloggie never attributes guilt fairly. He would have you believe the germans had no choice but to accept war. Germany was created by Prussia, Germany didnt exist until it was created in 1871 in FRANCE! The Prussians not the British exploited Germany, the house of Winsor is a Saxon house made from the former rulers of Sax Coberg Gotha. He blames the ‘BRITISH’ as if he knew what it was. He says Germany etc will be strong, hes a fool, does he not realise who owns the EU? The Saxons cant lose, they are on both sides of the fence… Its his precious Prussians who built camps and took the money and an Austrian led so called Germany to their doom. Now its a woman who will do the same. Not because Germany is a nation of robots, but because they are in the way. Nations are inventions, soon there will be a North Syria and a South Syria and a Kurdish Syria, all made up places on maps to perform one role, being exploited by the powerful. Cloggies stupidity is that he propagates the Soros message without realising it. Soros cant lose dude. Unless you get off your stoned dutch ass and start revolting from below. Its the poor they fear the most.
