Trump’s hatred of anyone else’s shadow has now manifested itself in the destruction of the Kennedy Center’s iconic weeping willows. The trees are fixtures of Boston’s Common and were, at the time of their planting, representative of a country’s sorrow. It’s death by 1000’s cuts.
The problem is beyond Trump.
1. The world no longer trusts the US electorate not to elect globally destructive nuts.
2. The world sees nearly every major US institution lay down & allow this. The entire view of AMERICA is broken.
Countries will decouple from America long-term.
Scott Bessent looks to be intentionally crashing the $.
I studied currency collapses and found that there were 7 indicators that preceded every major currency collapse in modern history.
I then measured the US dollar against those 7.
And as of right now, based on what Scott Bessent did last week, we have hit all 7 indicators.
No country in modern history has met all 7 and avoided a currency collapse. None.
And this doesn't look to be happening to us, it looks to be being done to us, by the people who swore an oath to prevent it. And they are getting rich while they do it.
Full article is up on Substack now (link in bio and it's free). I also give the things I am eyeing to hedge it and what we can do to fight it.
Hardly anyone will understand this, but if u have a really high IQ, u'll eventually run away from materialistic illusions. Most high IQ people do, only a handful fail to realize it bc they had no guidance. The materialistic world is largely a competition of second grade intelligence. Osho spoke about this.
Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn’t misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn’t agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover.
They’re not broken. They’re calibrated differently. They don’t avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it’s deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn’t mean loneliness. It means higher standards.
That’s not antisocial behavior. That’s emotional intelligence.
Why do y’all act like ending up as a 40 year old single cat lady is the worst case scenario??? My worst nightmare scenario is ending up as an undervalued mother and house wife to an incompetent man.
Scott Bessent executed FX trades for George Soros early in his career. Somehow, he learned nothing from Soros.
Soros made money by carefully betting on the difference between what governments should do vs what they were doing.
Bessent never understood this. He believed that governments can dictate prices as if he worked for Soviet or Chinese Politburo. When he went on his own, he never made money and his fund got decimated.
Bessent believes that US Government can dictate bond or oil prices. He is the type of politician Soros always bet against successfully.
It is amazing that most of the commentators cannot see this and still praise this man. We are accelerating to the wall and clowns are applauding.
