The Shortage Report

7/27/2023

Lions and Tigers and Bears... OH MY!

The Globalists want you to be terrified of Scary Scarcity.   Global shortages of this, that and whatever continue.  Some are due to natural causes but all shall be blamed on Climate Change and evil white capitalism.

Rice
India has restricted exports of non-Basmati rice again this year which has caused massive panic buying in America.   But, please keep in mind the panic buying is among Indian and Pakastani customers who are afraid that they will no longer be able to purchase their favorite imported brands.
Picture
We at neoTerra consume a lot of rice (I prefer rice over potatoes or pasta).  Personally, I prefer Basmati (which, fortunately, is not restricted) and Jasmine (which isn't from India) so this 'panic' does not affect me in the slightest.

Observing this irrational, panic behavior saddens me.  I honestly don't understand how intelligent, well-educated people can go insane scrambling over rice (here in America) when there is no actual shortage.  I understand that people have a preference for their home-town variety or brand... BUT there are so many excellent alternatives. Storming the gates, like third-world, famine-starved Ethiopians is so disappointing.

There is NO SHORTAGE of rice in America so DON'T PANIC.

Clown World - Snow POC and the Polyamorous Seven

7/17/2023

I wrote this story a few days ago but did not publish it because the folks at the Mouse House stated the photos were fake.  AND, here at the neoTerra News Network we never propagate fake news.

They have since admitted that the pictures are from the studio but are "not official".   So, for your amusement, the latest edition of Clown World.  YAY!

In the midst of the Budweiser boondoggle and Target missing the mark, Disney's self-destruction wins the Clown World award for July, 2023.


Then
We all remember the charming story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.... a true Disney classic.

I should point out that the story is ancient, passed on orally for generations and finally put to print by the Brothers Grimm over 200 years ago.  The Disney classic follows the theme of the original tale.

You may wonder... Why Dwarfs??   Well,  it would be very difficult to portray Snow White as sweet, innocent, joyful and virtuous if she was shacking up with seven sailors.   A band of doting dwarfs allows us to admire her purity.

NOW
The Disney remake is truly worthy of Clown World.   It features Snow POC (Person of Color) because white is deplorable, and seven diverse, shaggy, badly attired meth-heads.... referred to as the "Seven Magical Creatures".

Personally, I cannot convince myself that Snow POC is sweet, innocent or virtuous living with this motley crew.   Perhaps the remake will dispense with the politically offensive kiss from a Prince and have a magical excursion to Planned Parenthood instead.


As icing on the clown cake, the Disney spokesperson stated that the company did not want to reinforce negative stereotypes of [dwarfs].... and "[W]e are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community."

What ever happened to childhood innocence?

Random Thoughts - Debt, Inflation and the Myth of a Gold Standard

7/10/2023

0 Comments

 
This is a long post, my friends, because our nation faces complex problems and our enemies (both foreign and domestic) are doing everything they can can to splinter and divide us.  Please bear with me.

Pax Americana
The United States has enjoyed unchallenged financial/economic power since the end of WWII and has enjoyed global hegemony since Ronald Regan triggered the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The unilateral power and authority of the United States has resulted in what many refer to as the 'Pax Americana'.  This has been an 80 year period of relative peace (i.e. no massively destructive wars between global economic powers) and the resultant, unprecedented growth in global prosperity.

Many people around the world resent American prosperity... sadly, many Americans have been convinced that America is evil, racist, colonial, greedy... etc & so forth.  We have become a house-divided.  Perhaps Diversity = Division.


The End of America - The End of Prosperity
There is a lot of chatter lately about the decline of the United States and the advent of a 'multi-polar world'.  A world where the United States is no longer dominant...  a world with two (or more) powerful adversarial blocks fighting over resources.

This is the future world advocated by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum (WEF). One of their stated, public goals is 'the end of America as a superpower'.  neoterra.us/blog/sustaining-liberty-the-great-reset


In concert with the intentional destruction of America is the intentional destruction of prosperity and the middle class.  Last year, Emmanuel Macron (A WEF stooge and still the President of France) told his nation "we are living the end of what could have seemed an era of abundance …  the end of the abundance of products of technologies that seemed always available … the end of the abundance of land and materials including water,”  neoterra.us/blog/the-great-reset-europe-is-so-screwed-part-2

I am not surprised that France is burning,.. I am surprised this anti-French stooge is still President.

BRICS
China and India have been rapidly rising economically over the past two decades.  Quite honestly, I am happy to see growing prosperity and a growing middle-class in these large, populous countries.

Unfortunately, a new, 'multi-polar' block is forming to challenge the Pax Americana.  This block is called BRICS, which stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

China is the dominant economy (and military power) within BRICS.  China wants Renminbi (RMB) to replace the US Dollar (USD) as the global Reserve Currency. 
  • Sidebar - Renminbi (RMB) is the official name of Chinese currency similar to US Dollar.  The more familiar term of 'Yuan' is like the term 'Buck'... and refers to one unit of currency.
  • Sidebar - The concept of Reserve Currency is important to world stability.  It is THE Currency that is universally accepted for international trade.  It is the currency accepted for long term contracts on international commodities (food, oil, energy, metals)  because it is believed to be stable.
  • Sidebar - Massive printing of Monopoly Dollars and Bidenflation have allowed the Chinese to claim that contracts denominated in RMB are more secure/stable than contracts denominated in USD.  The dollar is losing credibility.

However, China's authority within BRICS is like Germany or France's authority within the EU.  It is a weak union... not based on actual unity of purpose, culture or ideals but only based on a perceived belief they can individually benefit from the decline of Pax Americana.

BRICS is fragile. The EU is fragile.


The Gold Standard
Members of BRICS are buying gold to create the illusion that their currencies adhere to a 'Gold Standard'.  This is BULLSHIT.  It is only a maneuver to further erode confidence in the Biden destroyed dollar.  It is psychological warfare.. and Biden/Yellen are the main useful idiots.

Gold cannot save the USD or establish the RMB... there just isn't enough gold on planet Terra... please read on.

The Global Economy
By 2022, the global GDP was roughly $100 TRILLION.  The United States has had the world's largest economy since 1871 (long before the start of Pax Americana). In spite of this, the Europeans looked down on us for more than 70 years (until the end of WWII when Truman established American dominance). China is now catching up.

All The Gold In The World - NOT Enough
Advocating a Gold Standard for currency is ridiculous.  It is a myth pushed by China and online investment scammers.  Gold has traditional, emotional value,  rather than economic value.

Please let me be clear... the fiat Monopoly money printed by the Biden Treasury is even worse. BUT there is not enough gold to support the immense global economy.  I'll go into that in a moment.

Let me be even more clear... if you want to invest in physical gold as a hedge against inflation... go right ahead.  Physical gold will certainly retain value and might even do better than the stock market in these troubled times.

BUT... gold is NOT useful as an international standard of currency.

It's estimated that there is roughly 197,000 tons of gold on planet Earth with a total value of about  $12 Trillion. This is a tiny fraction of the global $100 Trillion economy.

The United States holds the most (roughly 8,000 tons) which has a total value of less than $500 Billion.

Picture

$500 Billion is pretty small compared to the value of Apple ($2.3 Trillion) or Microsoft (More than $2 Trillion).
Picture

AND $500 Billion is just a drop in the bucket compared to our ever increasing national debt.  In fact, with soaring interest rates, the interest alone will be more than $1 Trillion.  In other words, there isn't enough gold to even pay the interest on our debt for one year!
national debt

Conclusion
Fiat Currency sucks and is always subject to escalating debt and inflation.  BUT gold is not the answer.   Perhaps currency should be backed by something tangible like a basket of goods such as food and energy.

Just a random thought.
