KARL DENNINGER: Crap (Mandalay Bay)

https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?singlepost=3428330

This incident will be used to confiscate guns ahead of declaring martial law as our economy collapses. 

The speculations by the pundits on TV is becoming ludicrous. 

Also, this incident now takes attention away from the disaster in Puerto Rico, and the damage done in Florida and Houston which Trump appreciates.

Is this another 'false flag' to get the populace terrified enough to ask for more police state protection? 

The police break into the room and find a dead white guy and a bunch of guns and ammo. Was he planted there? Was he actually the shooter?

WAKE UP AMERICA – THE DOLLAR IS GOING TO ZERO

https://goldswitzerland.com/wake-up-america-the-dollar-is-going-to-zero/
 
For news to be read and understood by a great number of people, it must be simple, sensational and forgettable. Most individuals are not interested in “heavy” news or complicated issues. Just compare television and newspapers today to say 50 years ago. At that time, newspapers had very few pictures but instead covered serious matters with in depth analysis. Same with television. In the 1960s there was serious news and many programmes which raised important issues in society or politics, which many people listened to and grasped.

Today everything must be dumbed down to the lowest common denominator of readers or viewers.  For a paper to sell or a television station to receive advertising revenue, any news must be superficial and short. Most content must have an entertainment or gossip value. Same with television. All serious matters are either left out or covered very briefly. We are now in the age of instant gratification. Viewers’ interest can only be kept by short superficial language, lots of big images and constant change of focus. On television, no camera position must remain on one subject for more than a few seconds because people’s attention span only lasts for a brief moment.

The US Economy Is Failing — Paul Craig Roberts

http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2017/09/29/us-economy-failing-paul-craig-roberts/

 In America Government is not in the hands of its people. Government is in the hands of a ruling oligarchy. Oligarchic rule prevails regardless of electoral outcomes. The American people are entering a world of slavery more severe than anything that previously existed. Without jobs, dependent on their masters for trickle-down benefits that are always subject to being cut, and without voice or representation, Americans, except for the One Percent, are becoming the most enslaved people in history.

ALICE MILLER: Child Mistreatment, Child Abuse

http://www.alice-miller.com/en/

Alice Miller is one of the most understanding of how we are all raised in an atmosphere of violence and how it continues from generation to generation and affects everything we do including how it influences what our 'leaders' construct in our national and international policies.

Google search her name to see her books. I recommend them highly. They will allow you to see how you have been influenced by the punishments you received from the adults in your life and how it has affected how you now behave and treat others including your own children.

Lying for the National Security State

http://powerofnarrative.blogspot.com/

Arthur Silber is very ill and may not live very  much longer. He is a brilliantly incisive writer who exposes the truth of the American Republic.

Read this to the end. You will learn lots, especially if you are old enough to have lived during the Vietnam War years.

For those who are younger, you need to watch Ken Burns' series on the Vietnam War on PBS online and then reflect upon what Arthur has stated here. 

It wouldn't hurt any of you to link to some of his earlier articles which can be found on the upper right of this article. Just keep clicking links on each article and you will find earlier articles and more links. I haven't found a compendium of all his articles but you can try to Google search by his name. 

UPDATE:
This URL: http://powerofnarrative.blogspot.com/2007/01/worth-it-or-not.html lists some of his earlier articles from which you can discover more of them.

Percentage Of Young Adults (18-34) Living At Home In 2005 vs 2015

https://moverdb.com/us-young-adults-home/


A few facts from the United States census bureau:
  • More than 1 in 3 young people, or about 24 million 18 to 34 year olds, lived in their parents’ home in 2015.
  • This is an increase from just over 1 in 4, 10 years earlier.
  • Between 1975 and 2016, the share of young women who were homemakers fell from 43% to 14% of all women ages 25 to 34.
  • Of young people living in their parents’ home, 1 in 4 are idle, that is they neither go to school nor work. This figure represents about 2.2 million 25- to 34-year-olds.
  • In the 1970s, 8 in 10 people married by the time they turned 30. Today, not until the age of 45 have 8 in 10 people married.
