I expect a global collapse in 2017 or 2018. The debt bubble is bigger than ever. However, with good economic leadership and a quick discharge of the debt I expect a recovery within 9 months and massive increases in economic growth as Trump destroys the regulatory state.
The unofficial magazine of the EU
Globalist - singular
Globalists - plural
My father in law, always claimed he was a conservative. He said he subscribed to this magazine. They endorsed obama in 2012. Today he told me that he wanted Hillary to win. Wolf in sheep’s clothing. The way the Cival war was. Houses divided.
Not to mention, "Spirit" Pizza?
This Economist is worse than the New York Times in its bitterness against Trump.
I'll just quote one sentence of its venom:
This truly must be the magazine the globalists read.
Not one mention of the incompetence and corruption of Hillary Clinton. Perhaps to the globalists and liars at the Economists, any power grabbing and corruption is to be praised. That's what they do. The end justifies the means.
They are not journalists, they are animals, terrorists against the truth -- the worst kind of arrogant politician. If you want to learn what Merkel and Hollande really think, I suppose you should read this bile.
I guess on the European continent, these bureaucratic tyrants/politicians take great care who they should style themselves, posture, give winks and nods, and spout meaningless words so they can be sure to never be perfectly understood. It's a game of conceit and maneuver, and therefore not accountable to the voters.
Maybe this is why Obama fits right in -- and why the EU globalists so ahbor the directness of Trump and his reach out to the lowly deplorable voters.
Of course, with the EU, voters within a country have no rights at all. The parliament of the EU has no power either. The sovereign nations within the EU surrender their rights to more or less faceless bureaucrats.
All of this is explained very well in a great pre-Brexit movie (on YouTube) starring Nigel Farage, among many others.
I wrote a little intro to this YouTube movie that is very well put together and clearly understood: Brexit Documentary Explains How EU Globalists Strangled Britain's Republic
You got me curious, too, Enlightened.
Looks like they are mostly children and young people. Haven’t the foggiest idea what that means.
What we need to do to these globalists is to make them look like the fools and con artists they are.
The best weapon of all is satire and laughter.
How can FR play a role in taking them down to size?
OK, here’s my interpretation...of the meaning of the Stars card in Economist/Globalist doctrine:
The many stars are the many personalities on social media — the hopes and dreams people (childish Trump followers). It represents the dumb and stupid voters who tweet, comment, and attend Trump rallies. These deplorables shouldn’t have anything to say about the master plan the globalist bureaucrats have in store for us.
So it is written, so it shall be done... Achtung! Merkel
We can start by mocking their cover. Your reply offers a seed: Redo the logo for "The Economist" with a logo that says "The ConArtist".
The Death card does not actually mean physical death of people or a person.
It can mean the end of an era or idea.
So, it could mean the end of Liberalism and the beginning of a new era of prosperity.
It usually signals a turning point from one path to another.
Like crossing a threshold of a door.
It is not always a negative thing either.
Also, the tower is not exactly what it looks like as well.
From:
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/tower.shtml
” This is a card about anything we believe to be true, but later learn is false. This realization usually comes as a shock, hence, the violent image. It is, quite simply, that moment in any story where someone finds out a shocking truth, one that shatters their perceptions and makes them reassess their beliefs.”
It is a card about following your dreams and allowing them to lead you on as a star can do to keep you on track.
Again from: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/star.shtml
"The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing, even unexpected help to offer us sustenance in bleak times."
All in all, looking over the actual meanings of the cards, the fortune it portends looks very positive.
Tower - A rude awakening to the reality and loss of illusions.
Judgment, where you look back into your past and forgive yourself of all your failings and your past can find forgiveness for failing to listen to the wise.
The World card symbolizing successful completion of a goal and or journey.
The Hermit who now sees things as they are and introspects himself to gain wisdom
Death - A crossing over to the beginning of something else
The magician, who provides all the tools for success and energy to complete the journey.
The wheel - good fortune or luck.
and lastly, The Star - guiding you forward to your next dream goal
.
Interesting and mostly positive.
if this is an actual reading it looks like a lot of changes will occur and they all end up being positive and ends with a new beginning and promise of the next fulfilling dream. And since there are quite a few stars on the card, it may mean this process will be repeated for generations to come.
You certainly know more than me about the Tarot .. Interesting that the Economist would have these cards on their cover and then have the title *Doom” .. They surely could have had someone research their message better.
Your interpretation sounds like we’re on the good road ... Which I’m certainly in the mood for.
In my experience, very little is as it seems to be.
Predicting the future is very much this way.
At face value, the cards would seem to predict doom but a closer look reveals something different.
Keep in mind the Japanese symbol for “Crisis” has the characters of Danger and Opportunity.
I believe Trump understands the possibilities and the progs are blinded by what they want to happen instead of the opportunities for growth that are present.
A Malignant Narcissist has many opportunities to accept the truth. But to remain a narcissist, they have to deny the obvious truth and believe the lies they tell themselves plus impose those lies upon others as a matter of will.
Americans aren’t buying the lies anymore and the fools living in the fantasy world get increasingly insistent to even the point of death to maintain their illusion.
It’s all about “The Matrix” question:
If all you believe or know to be true were to be proven beyond a doubt, in fact, a lie, would you want to know the truth. These are people addicted to the blue pill.
It is much easier to believe a palatable lie than the painful truth that we do not live in the dream they want to remain in. However, as adults, we have to face facts and truths that can be painful but honesty works out always in the end.

But not until it is finished with you.”

bummer. All those refugees from the Obama administration will be able to get jobs after all.
I've found the same.
Years ago I opened a used bookstore and immediately found more riches in its patrons then selling books.
My interests in reading was like many, for history (geopolitical and spiritual belief systems). The quote .. history is written by the victor .. Always fascinated me and so my reading intent was to learn what the loser had believed in, especially so much that they were willing to die for their cause.
One of my patrons had an interesting self imposed mission that had great affect on me. He tasked himself with reading editorial pages of old news papers then comparing how well history did at proving the editorialist out.
Was the expert, who's task it was to inform the public, doing his job accurately? My friends overall summary was not complimentary of editorialists. And they were not even “predicting the Future”.
Another customer was a Hannibal nut and went on about source documents from not only Hannibal and Scipio's personal historians view from the battlefield but the spies for Carthage and Rome's political class who were to report what was really happening. Each country apparently didn't fully trust their own generals. Years later, a Greek historian, Polybius shed more light on what really happened from the perspective of the mercenaries and actual places the battles had been fought.
Every information source pretends to understand what is happening. The Internet is wonderful for the amount of info available but the quality. Meghhhh.
Except for this great website, news sites are there to sell advertising and your aptly named “blue pill” people are willing to pay to have what they need. Even we could just be cheap conservatives hanging out here on someone else’s dime (there are still dimes?)
In the end, because there is always an end, I believe people will achieve complete information fatigue and reach for simpler concepts.
The eternal soul is one of my favorites.
In the meantime there are some serious economic and geopolitical obstacles out there. For me, The divide in belief systems in our great Country are the most troubling. But then it is an amazing time to be alive and I have confidence now in real hope and change which oddly seems to be to return to who we were.
There are some great opportunities Right now in this leadership vacuum. I hope Trumps team identifies and executes these in a fashion that is simple and understandable for even the blue pill people without thinking we have to embrace progressivism. We shall see FRiend Jcon
