Notes for Friday – December 16, 2016

December 16th, 1928, was the birthday of Philip K. Dick, who died March 2, 1982.

Readers can do some of this at home by taking sheets of copper and cutting it into push plates for doors, covering countertops, etc. However, it is extremely difficult to find copper doorknobs, except for cabinets. Perhaps taking regular doorknobs and having them heavily …


Economics and Investing:

I predict that there will be a directly proportional relationship between the rapidity with which President-elect Trump implements his planned reduction of government policies and the rapidity of the Federal Reserve banking cartel’s interest rate hikes. The harder that Trump pushes, the harder that The Powers That Be will push back. In the end I believe that they are willing to collapse the credit market, crash the stock markets and collapse the value of the U.S. Dollar on the Forex rather than see Trump make any substantive change. Be ready for the events that will follow January 20th, 2017. There …
