  • Welcome to the sixteenth century! When Queen Elizabeth couldn’t afford to go to war against Spain so created ‘letters of marque’ which legalised piracy against Spain and its empire. Single handedly created the pirate economy.

    Then, welcome to the eighteenth century, when america created the fiction of the Barbary Corsairs to legalise american piracy of the atlantic trade.

    Isnt it Mark Twain who states that history rhymes?














  • Lets see if I understand the situation.

    • Trump starts trade war with China.
    • China retaliates, stops buying agricultural products from the americanos.
    • Farmers sales crash.
    • Cropping Loans for fertilizer, seed, herbicides, fuel, etc come due.
    • Farmers start defaulting. (Looks like the opening scenes of the “Big Short” movie, where casual drive through housing developments shows big houses financed with short term debt starting to weigh on bank balance sheets.)
    • Farmers plead with Trump for more welfare.
    • Trump stiffs them
    • Chinese buy all their soy beans from Argentina
    • Trump gives $20billion USD to Argentina, thumbs nose at farmers.
    • Farmer groups blame Biden policies, vote Republicans again in mid-terms.
