Is it me, or is personal behavior and achievement mirroring the collapse? Are people just not trying very hard any more, or has the bar been set that low? I’m very disappointed with Mr. Ure and his explanation/justification on deflation. Now, in his defense, he’s been giving away his pearls of wisdom for free for fifteen years. We are getting what we pay for. And, his site is wonderful and he is usually on the top of his game. However, I wouldn’t be the well coiffured cuss you have all come to love if I didn’t kick someone when they’re down, so today we will poke fun at his expense. But first I’d like to rant a bit on other folks incompetence. Again, I know it is free, by I’ve come to expect a certain level of performance with broadcast television. Such as the damn signal coming in ( piece of crap mother humping dillhole bastard puke Feds, thanks a million for forcing us to go to digital where a single cloud a hundred miles away will interfere with the signal ). I know the government is mostly to blame, but since I’ve gotten all the major channels for years after the changeover, I can’t help but blame the private companies themselves on this one. Or is it the counties fault? I’ve vaguely heard of some elected official having something to do with TV, I think re-broadcasting the signal. Anyway, for weeks I’m not getting half the channels, but I chalk it up to lightning and such. But, still no luck after clear skies. I’m getting a bit miffed at my nighttime TV watching being disrupted.

And I shouldn’t resubscribe to Netflix ( just watching seasons worth of TV on disc ), since that company just went on a rampage of stupidity. You want to gradually do away with DVD’s and encourage the instant downloads? Even if that crap substantially slows down all of our Internet access? Thanks a lot for being a selfish prick. And, haven’t you been paying attention to the cell phone companies? They are having issues with the amount of air time folks are using. And the Internet is not far behind, with diminishing resources and increased demand. Yet your company model is now being based on yet more resources being needed? I understand the post office won’t be with us much longer, but even before they go under, the Internet providers will be bankrupting ( the trend to unlimited pig downloads, as folks cancel expensive broadband access means a shrinking group uses more as less income comes in ). And that is even before thieves start ripping off the copper line needed for The Last Mile.

Even politicians aren’t trying hard at all anymore, throwing out stupid crap and expecting us to buy into it. Obammy throws some BS our way about taxing the rich? He would be in that group, and you could put a gun to my head and I still wouldn’t buy that he really means to penalize himself ( of course I don’t get the good TV channels, but I would still pick up the channel that keeps advertising that idiot home make over show, with the group of grinning jagoffs pulling the bus up to the white house, kissing the ass of our First Lady [ granted, her ass looks better than her face ] and showing that scary looking crackhead grandma getting the new house- I don’t need free entertainment enough to watch that kind of crap, I’d rather buy some more books ). Obammy is throwing so many lies our way ( phantom jobs, a phantom Bin Laden assassination, phantom compassion for the people he made poor by bailing out the banks for many trillions ) that anytime he opens that fly trap, just assume he actually means the exact opposite.

Okay, now it is Ure’s turn. Again, his writing is some of the best, but I have a major disagreement with him on this one subject ( well, I disagree with his other stuff like time shifting and other voodoo subjects, but we’ve already covered that ). He is simply trying way too hard to justify his stance on deflation. I’m not saying I’m necessarily right and he is wrong, but his analysis simply doesn’t sit right with me. Falling house prices are not deflation. And neither is unemployment. Just because you have no money, that doesn’t mean the economy doesn’t. The almost complete stoppage of the velocity of money is not deflation. All that is is the slowdown of the arrival of hyperinflation. You can’t print up tens of trillions and think it isn’t inflationary. The deflation is in areas that has an oversupply. Houses and employees. That stuff running out, oil and food, is inflationary. But that is supply and demand, commodity inflation. Currency inflation is what the Federal Reserve Bank is doing- creating tons of money. That is inflationary. A rising supply, so each bill is worth far less. Also actually just commodity inflation. Supply and demand is all there is to it. Velocity doesn’t make or break inflation, it just dictates a timeline. We have had inflation in the currency since the Fed was created. A lot of times the deflationary effect of our vast sea of petroleum masked that. As is the vast oversupply of housing right now. But currency is still being created, which is inflationary. I’m betting on inflation. The government and bankers have no choice but to create more and more money. I don’t care if it is in paper bills or computer entries. I don’t care about velocity or overseas demand. Eventually, money creation is inflation that directly effects you.

Sure, it can be difficult to point to any one cause for prices. Are gasoline price increases due to dollars being worth less, or oil running out? Or both? But that is merely academic masturbation. Just keep in mind, supply and demand. Shrinking cropland, less water, more people, more dollars, food goes up. Too many houses, of poor quality, grossly overpriced and overtaxed means falling prices. Rising population won’t effect the price for some time because less jobs means more people start doubling and tripling up in housing. The only market for new houses, and that is even debatable due to rising unemployment, would be true energy saving dwellings.

Okay, let’s end on an upbeat note. I am so excited I could soil myself. The new book I’ve been eagerly awaiting is here. It is a book on the design of the Ferguson rifle. Also about the inventor. But the exciting part is, they seem to have discovered the secret to the design that allows the weapon to be fired rapidly for dozens of shots without stoppages from fouling. This would make it a true blackpowder assault rifle ( obviously the tolerances would be sloppy to allow this, so it is a mass volley fire weapon, not a sniping/hunting weapon ), perfect for post-apocalypse armies. I’ve already ordered a copy, and should have a review in two or two and a half weeks ( you can order a Kindle version for one third the price and no waiting ). The site is
