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

 

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.

Crashing the food supply? Got eggs?

Using fraudulent PCR tests to crash the food supply.  This is why the egg section in your grocery store is empty.  Got chickens?  How about a chicken coup?  You need the protein, the choline, the sulfur, the vitamin A, E, and others from eggs.  They are your daily multivitamins.

Are taxes paid by the British people our penance for making it possible for 8 billion people to be alive in the world at the same time courtesy of cheap, efficient energy . . . ?

Cynic that I am, I conclude that all possible efforts are being made to impoverish and so destroy once and for all that upstart, aspirational middling class its very existence so infuriates today's rulers.  --Neil Oliver

5:05  For the crime of having been born in the home of the industrial revolution that changed the world for the better and lifted billions of people out of poverty this latest generation of British people is to be punished, diminished, made dependent upon a state that openly despises us and treats us with contempt.  Setting aside, for example, the fact that China has pumped out more pollution in the last 8 years than Britain managed in the 220 years since the Industrial Revolution began.  More of the taxes paid by British people might be handed to the developing world, perhaps China included.  Who knows? as our penance for making it possible for 8 billion people to be alive in the world at the same time courtesy of cheap, efficient energy, plentiful food and all the benefits born of the modern medicine and technology our ancestors efforts made possible.  The fire kindled here more than 200 years ago made life better, made life possible for billions, and in returned we are to be mugged in broad daylight, our wallets emptied, and our hard-earned cashed handed to anyone around the world who wants it.  

6:19  A good whack of China's CO2 output came from burning coal to make our wind turbines and the rest of the vanity projects that let our remotely controlled leaders spout lies about cutting emissions, but hey ho, never let the facts get in the way of a good global scam.  Back to the point, British money earned by hard-working and struggling British people is being funneled out of Britain and into the wider world as fast as the leaders can make it flow.  Cynic that I am, I conclude that all possible efforts are being made to impoverish and so destroy once and for all that upstart, aspirational middling class its very existence so infuriates today's rulers.  

6:58  Natural law is summarized in three words: do not steal.  It underpins all lawful behavior.
