Fed’s Attempt at Goldilocks Scenario (Soft Pivot) Will Crash the Economy
Powell & Yellen flipflopping on Rate Hikes and Bank Deposits signals greater Volatility
• March 23, 2023

Yesterday, the Fed raised interest rates by .25 basis points, as the Fed did in February before the banking crisis. I speculated that a bank scare could cause the Fed to pivot, but this modest rate hike did not surprise me, as the CPI came in at 6% inflation for February, and there are signs... Read More

Fed Trap: Financial Collapse or Hyper Inflation?
• March 20, 2023
• 2,000 Words • 99 Comments • Reply
With this banking crisis, which has serious Lehman vibes, it is a good time to revisit my article, Is This The End of The End of History, from March of last year. The article delt with the theme of collapse vs stagnation, and historical cycles, in light of the Ukraine war, the post-pandemic climate, the... Read More
Intersectionality of the Smart But Poor
• February 16, 2023
• 2,000 Words • 32 Comments • Reply
While the broke genius archetype may be a meme, the topic of the intelligent yet poor is especially relevant to how we view issues of wealth, privilege, status, and societal incentive structures. A stereotypical demographic profile of the smart but poor, might be of a starving artist or NEET, especially the terminally online underemployed intellectual... Read More
UBI Reconsidered for '23
The prospects for UBI in light of inflation, automation, polarization, and consolidation of power
• February 3, 2023
• 2,200 Words • 10 Comments • Reply
It could not be better timing for Universal Basic Income to rise in popularity and enter the public discourse, and then inflation sets in. Overall there is currently less discussion of UBI then during the 2020 election and the pandemic. The stimulus checks have been blamed for causing inflation, with the overall money supply increasing... Read More
Sam Bankman-Fried-On-Amphetamines
A speed-addled Manchurian candidate sent to blow up crypto?
• November 17, 2022
• 1,100 Words • 159 Comments • Reply
The New York Times is going a lot easier on Sam Bankman-Fried than it did on Bernie Madoff. As of this writing, they’re still hyping a Nov. 30 event headlining SBF alongside Zelensky, Zuckerberg, and Yellen. Why be nice to SBF and mean to Madoff? Maybe because Madoff made off mostly with the money of... Read More

Did Uncle Sam, a.k.a. Wile E. Coyote, Blow Up the Wrong Pipeline?
And what's behind the unending parade of acts of self-destructive imperial hubris?

After “parties not-so-unknown” bombed the Nordstream gas pipeline, Anthony Blinken celebrated the “tremendous opportunity.” He assumed the whole Nordstream operation was out of commission. That would have given US producers the chance to make billions of dollars robbing Europe blind selling overpriced gas. But Blinken may have celebrated too soon. According to Bloomberg News: An...

Matthew Ehret and I covered 30 stories on this week’s False Flag Weekly News. Fortunately, the one below did not make the list. If you appreciate the way FFWN combs through each week’s news stories in hopes of separating fact from fiction, absurd reality from barely-more-absurd parody, then by all means contribute to this week’s...

KATIE HALPER: Professor Michael Hudson, thank you so much for joining us. We're really excited to have you.
