Here It Comes - Rising Nationalism

We are about to enter the fifth year of discussing rising nationalism. Something I still don't believe anyone else is talking about. I suppose this too will be a dynamic the status quo eventually states was never predictable. How about we take a look at four dynamics which have unfolded in the last two weeks alone. (links below) Something else we have written of extensively, which is an outcome to rising nationalism, is that unbeknownst to the savants at the G20 meetings, the banksters or politicians is that globalization and global finance are both dead.

One of the larger themes of this blog is that we are now in a cycle of volatility. In the last few months Marc Faber has publicly discussed war cycles for those who follow any type of cyclical rhythms or cycle theory. We wrote a few years ago that we were entering a period of heightened potential for global conflict. I'm sure most people would have laughed reading my remarks at the time. Most still will. But fewer will now that Marc Faber has publicly remarked of it. Whatever you want to call it, cyclicality is not a theory. It is a reality. The forces well misunderstood or not understood at all are theory, not the cyclical patterns themselves. One of our first posts was on cyclicality. The world around us is driven entirely by cycles. The cycle of gestation, the heart's rhythm, the cycle of planets, the cycle of life, the cycle of seasons, the cycle of time, even the cycles of electricity delivered to your house or the cycles driving your computer and on and on and on. Without cycles the world would not exist. Now comes the cycle of volatility.

It is hilarious to read the term Great Recession over and over in the financial press. A term of arrogance and propaganda. That any savants who were in the ozone before this crisis started are now predicting its exact demise is preposterous. There is no recovery. There never was. Even government data corroborates this. There is only temporary stabilization at a new state. Anyone who understands state theory will understand when I say that we are likely in a transitory state which will be replaced by another new state. A final state which will be the new normal without transformational change. A state reached by the introduction of new inputs not anticipated by the status quo. One which cannot be "fixed" by printing money, backstopping all of Wall Street's criminal behavior, G20 tea and crumpet parties or global bureaucrats at the United Nations pledging peace and prosperity. ie, Writing checks they cannot cash. Making claims they have no ability to back up.
