Zerohedge

overarching premise is wrong
Zerohedge has the overarching premise that money is wealth and that history repeats itself, which wrong. Money is only a claim to past, present and future energy production. We are flooded with 1kwh/sqr meter of energy from the sun and all we need is a cheap Heliostat Mirrors solar tracking device to make our own steel, bricks and food. You don't need land for food production, only energy. Your own waste then gets endlessly recycled as you re extract the precious phosphate, growing duckweed, eaten by Tilapia fish, creating ammonia for plants.

One has to navigate the rhetoric and unfalsifiable conspiracy theories to get some good articles. For example only Zerohedge warned us a head of time that Cyprus was about to implode its banking system and that the Chinese were Rehypothecating the same pile of copper to different entities. The hysterical tone they have does get annoying, some sort of AI filter would be nice to give more neutrally stated views.

Comments are AI chat bots

 * "....https://www.economist.com/node/21701119/comments I'm extremely happy with The Economist's timing of this cover topic and special report, mainly because just last week I discovered an online 'AI' software that made more than 1500 human-like clever comments to 100 or more articles  for over a year unnoticed, I even got a confession from its programmers! If you're curious about this highly sophisticated 'AI' software called Don Dehart Bronkema, you can read its comments at:  http://disqus.com/by/don_bronkema/ and mine at: http://disqus.com/by/yamancakiroglu/ Now the question is: in the future will we, as humans, accept an 'AI'  software trying to fool us as if it were one of us, or not? ...."

IMF: deep negative rates
https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2019/04/29/Enabling-Deep-Negative-Rates-A-Guide-46598 The experience of the Great Recession and its aftermath revealed that a lower bound on interest rates can be a serious obstacle for fighting recessions. However, the zero lower bound is not a law of nature; it is a policy choice. The central message of this paper is that with readily available tools a central bank can enable deep negative rates whenever needed—thus maintaining the power of monetary policy in the future to end recessions within a short time

FED will bailout China
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-19/something-just-broke-china-repo-rate-soars-1000-overnight repo rate spiked to 1000% July 2019, forcing the FED to cut rates end of July or they risk collapsing the Yuan. Oil is unlimited, hence unlimited money printing by the US and EU is possible. Problem is that many are still stuck in the history of high oil prices, history never repeats itself as each generation has different circumstances. Because of the false premise that money is wealth, many have developed a mental health problem, all the way from Keizer report to hyperbolic blogs like Zerohedge.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Voqht3i3xtg intermarium this increased German hostility to the United States and to Poland. Germany had agreed to impose sanctions on Russia, but since Berlin did not want a significant confrontation with Russia, let alone a war, they were fairly inconsequential. Poland and the United States seemed far more prepared for conflict than Germany could afford to be. This was the foundation of the U.S.-Polish relationship. The Americans and the Poles both wanted an active containment of Russia. Germany wanted an accommodation. German hostility toward the U.S. and Poland was rooted in this, as was U.S. and Polish distrust of Germany.

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1spvr6n Julian Assange proposes the democrat base breaks away into a separate party. The US isn't a multiparty democracy but a constitutional republic. Such an event, together with Jill Stein's Greenpeace would forever keep the presidency republican. It should be obvious that Assange is a CIA troll, the democrats know this and are hopping mad but wouldn't dare to implicate the CIA.

Nancy Pelosi is fuming that she was played for the fool by the CIA: she drank from a poisoned chalice. Gulping down all sorts of secret information was a ruse, now the Democrats can't ever implicate the CIA in electing Trump.

OIL
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/tverberg-why-great-reset-based-green-energy-isnt-possible 1] The economy isn’t really like a computer that can be switched on and off; it is more comparable to a human body that is dead, once it is switched off.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-09-03/debunking-lower-oil-supply-will-raise-prices-narrative The basic issue is that the economy is nterconnected, because energy is required for every activity that is considered part of GDP. Energy is required for any kind of heat or any kind of movement. Energy is even required for electricity. Without energy from the sun, food can’t grow; without supplemental energy of some kind (such as using electricity to heat an electric stove or burning animal dung or sticks), it becomes impossible to cook food or smelt metals.
