NEIL OLIVER: It's how you play nothing, it's how you present with nothing.

Glad to have found you through Neil, you speak my language.
Excellent analysis of the 5D chess @realDonaldTrump is playing and his ultimate goals. Looking forward to an ex president being brought to justice.

12:30. I'm often thrown back on movie analogies, and I think often about Cool Hand Luke, 1967, the scene where George Kennedy, his Dragline character, Clarence "Dragline" Slidell, you know, there's a card game and the Paul Newman character, Lucas "Luke" Jackson, wins, and Dragline says, "He beat you mullet heads with a hand full of nothing."  

And Paul Newman's character, Lucas "Luke" Jackson, says, "Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."  

And the lesson from that is if you have nothing, it's how you play nothing, it's how you present with nothing.  And I think when you . . . for people . . . when you get away from the . . . you know, they don't . . . so many people don't have enough slack in the system to buy gold.  They can't buy Bitcoin.  They just don't have it, and so what they have is nothing.  And yet there is a . . . there has to be a transactional possibility for people realizing that the nothing that they don't have is something that they don't want at a certain level.

17:00.  That's the interesting part about it.  This is what gives me so much hope is the fact that every other time that their system has reached an existential crisis, they had the majority of the capital.  They had the majority of the industrial base.  They had the majority of the trade routes and the political power and everything else.  They don't have that today.  

When you look at an emergent America, throwing off the vestiges of the shackles of Continental Europe on our policy, which is exactly what Donald Trump is doing, restoring the original Constitutional Republic and the executive authority of the president in his full article to Glory with a supreme court that is fully behind him, and now he all he's got to deal with is a traitorous Congress, along with a monetary system and the United States that is clearly deprecating the Fed, when you have that, plus Russia, plus China opposing old Continental Europe, that's an unbeatable combination.
