And yet the Republican Senators and Congressmen ON THE SAME BALLOTS were elected! Those devious Democrats figured how to hack one line of the ballot! We’re doomed to decades of “democratic socialism.”

But continue your paranoia if it makes you happy.

Shoshin, your nightmares might indeed again come true, be careful how you tread. You are used to Republican losers, that's another reason why you hate Trump so much. He doesn't lie down.

Besides, the obvious answer is that they shipped in ballots with just Biden's name on top. Come on, even a partisan hack should know what our response is going to be - oh yeah, I forgot, you don't think, you just cheat and act like everyone else should go along with it. Sorry, we aren't McCain and Romney anymore.

This fraud is just too blatant. And they have their minions waiting for any challenge to the contested results. This is what we thought we were insulated from while reading about nefarious forces controlling elections elsewhere. It's a good hard slap in the face for those of us who've been hoping this fourth turning wouldn't be so bad.
Maybe John could help us put it into perspective in relation to whatever we still have coming? Some of his recent posts have helped my nerves significantly.
Thank you John for your work.

** 11-Nov-2020 World View: Goldman Sachs predicts major market surges in 2021 and 2022

Goldman Sachs strategists are predicting huge stock increases
each of the next two years.

The S&P closed on Tuesday at 3545. Goldman is increasing its year-end
target to 3700 by end of 2020, 4300 by the end of 2021, and 4600 by
the end of 2022.

Goldman gives two reasons: the expected success of virus vaccines, and
the expectation of a divided Congress (preventing Biden from
implementing a lot of loony left policies).

This is an unbelievably dangerous prediction -- i.e., dangerous for
you.

Apparently the Goldman Sachs strategists, led by David Kostin, are not
bothered by the current level of the price/earnings ratio. The P/E
ratio has a historical average of around 14, and has been at
astronomically high levels in the 20-25 range for almost a decade,
indicating a large stock market bubble. The current S&P 500 P/E ratio
value is 39.81, which is so ridiculously high, there are no words to
describe it. (https://www.wsj.com/market-data/stocks/peyields)

But Kostin says stock prices are going to go even much, much higher
in the next two years, presumably pushing the P/E ratio up to 50 or
60.

Well, don't worry about that. Kostin and his team of "experts" has
an explanation:

"When thinking about the potential resolution of
today’s record valuation dispersion, investors often recall the
unwind of the tech bubble, which was characterized by a two-year
bear market and large negative absolute returns of the previous
market leaders. More often than not, however, value rallies tend
to occur in rising markets during which high valuation stocks also
rise but are outpaced by the lowest valuation firms. This ‘catch
up’ dynamic is what we expect will take place in coming months as
a vaccine is approved and distributed."
Hahahahahaha. This is all moronic garbage from someone who has no
clue what he's talking about. He's apparently dismissing the high P/E
ratio as no problem because of "the potential resolution of today’s
record valuation dispersion," by which I believe that he means: Don't
worry about high valuations, since some are low and some are high, so
it will all be resolved. And don't tell me that these are experts and
I'm not, because I used to write about jackasses like this in the
2000s decade, and they were too dumb to see the housing bubble and the
credit collapse. These people are really stupid, but they get paid a
lot of money to issue stupid opinions that people want to hear.

I'll repeat what I've said many times in the past: The size of the
global debt bubble continues to grow uncontrollably. We don't know
when that bubble will burst, but we can say for certain that it will
burst when everyone least expects it, and cause a massive
international financial crisis, including a stock market crash, which
means that a lot of people will lose their life savings overnight.
"If something can't go on forever, then it won't."

Here are some Goldman Sachs graphs:

** 11-Nov-2020 World View: A harsh new turning point in Hong Kong

Hong Kong's pro-democracy legislators have resigned en masse
from Hong Kong's Legislative Council (LegCo), after China took
a major new step to bring Hong Kong under full dictatorial control,
making the Legislative Council pretty much worthless and irrelevant.

On Wednesday, China disqualified four "pro-democracy activists" from
Hong Kong's Legislative Council (LegCo), as the immediate consequence
of imposing a new law disqualifying anyone supporting anything from a
list of "unpatriotic" views. This prompted the en masse
resignation of the 15 remaining pro-democracy legislators.

The law applies to anyone who supports independence, refuses to
recognise Beijing’s sovereignty over Hong Kong, seeks help from
"foreign countries or foreign forces to interfere in the affairs of
the region" or commits "other acts that endanger national security."

Pro-Beijing lawmaker Regina Ip explained why the new law, disqualifying
pro-democracy lawmakers, was in reality a benefit to democracy
in Hong Kong:
"They cannot be just democrats in name. They have to
not only embrace true democratic values in the sense of respecting
the rule of law and the rights of other people with whom they
disagree, they also have to respect the sovereignty, security of
our country.

They have been opposing everything that has to do with the nation,
whether it is national security, national education, national
anthem, co-location... anything to do with integration with the
nation. Hong Kong being part of China, this sort of position is
not viable."
One of the "unpatriotic" acts is filibustering, according to another
pro-Beijing lawmaker Martin Liao:
"We've been wasting a lot of time dealing with
filibustering by the pan-dems. If the atmosphere in Legco can be
more quiet, I think the establishment parties and members can
really monitor, look into the government policy, public policy and
legislation a lot more carefully and more critical about
it."
It's been obvious for years that the "One Country, Two Systems" concept
would not last. China's National Security Law, passed in
June of last year, pretty much killed it off, and the new
disqualification law is just beating on a dead body.

This has been an objective of Xi Jinping rose to power in 2011. In
2013, the CCP issued "Document Number 9" which listed evil "anti-China
forces," such as democracy, human rights, civil society,
neoliberalism, and a free press. In particular, the CCP considers
democracy to be not a method of government, but a Western ideology
designed to destroy Chinese Communism. At the time the document was
issued, it was believed that Xi Jinping wanted it particularly to be
used to target Hong Kong, and indeed it has.

The following is speculative, based on the timing of Wednesday's
actions, one week after the American election. I can't predict
what the CCP is going to do, except that I know that they do
one stupid thing after another, thanks to their dictatorship which
forbids criticism, even of the stupidest decisions. Some historical
examples are Mao's Great Leap Forward, which needlessly killed 50
million innocent Chinese and destroyed China's economy for decades,
and the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre disaster.

So now we speculate on the timing of the next major stupid thing that
the CCP will do. We know that the CCP plans a military invasion of
Taiwan, because they've said so many times. We know that for years,
they were trying to charm the Taiwanese by telling them they would get
the same wonderful "One Country, Two Systems" deal as in Hong Kong.
That whole charm offensive is now dead, and in fact is backfiring,
since the Taiwanese are watching Hong Kong and know that China has the
same plans for Taiwan.

We can be certain that China plans an invasion of Taiwan, because
they've said so, and we can speculate on the timing. The new Hong
Kong crackdown means that there is no longer any pretense. The
speculation is that the harsh Hong Kong crackdown is a signal that the
timing of the Taiwan invasion is imminent. If it's not imminent, then
the invasion still has to occur sometime, and the CCP thugs know that
they can't wait forever.

Really? Is that what I should worry about? The $6 million that Biden
wants from Trump?

There are easy solutions for Biden. Hunter and Joe have already
gotten a billion dollars from China in influence peddling. So he
could just ask his Beijing contact for another $6 million in return
for future favors. He could do the same with his contacts in Moscow
and Kiev. Joe and Hunter have plenty of opportunities to pick up $6
million for his "transition team," and a lot more for his other
cronies. So, problem solved!

(Oh wait! Did I just say something racist, sexist, homophobic or
otherwise deplorable? Omigod!)

Bomb Strikes WWI Memorial Event In Saudi Arabia Hosted By Western Diplomats

A terror attack has targeted a World War I commemoration event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, resulting in several people wounded and widespread panic.

The ceremony was attended by Western diplomats on the occasion of European countries observing Armistice day or Remembrance day, November 11, which this year marks 102 years since the end of the war.

Consular officials representing several embassies, including France, Britain, Italy and Greece were in attendance when the bomb went off. The event was being held at a non-Muslim cemetery and is suspected related to prior attacks on French soil over satirical cartoons depicting Islam's founder Mohammed.

France's foreign ministry described that an unknown entity or individual had planted an improvised explosive device (IED) at the cemetery grounds. "The annual ceremony commemorating the end of World War I at the non-Muslim cemetery in Jeddah, attended by several consulates, including that of France, was the target of an IED (improvised explosive device) attack this morning, which injured several people," the statement said.

Multiple European embassies in Saudi Arabia condemned what they called the "shameful" and "cowardly attack". It doesn't appear any diplomatic officials were among the wounded; but a Greek police officer that was present suffered wounds, as well as Saudi policeman, according to Saudi media reports.

How much has the family collected in bribes and kickbacks? (Is it really billions?) The evidence of gross corruption is glaring and yet the mainstream (liberal) media turns a blind eye to it. This is far more dangerous than anything Trump has been accused of. Biden has been highly compromised and is a very real secuirty threat. America is in real trouble now and few people say anything. The ones that do are silenced.

I love my country, but America is finished. It's over. There is no law and order anymore. It's not safe to walk around in the daylight in my hometown. The wolves are out. The illegal immigrants, the leftists, the deranged liberals, and the pathological deviants have won--albeit through cheating. You seem to believe America will survive, John. You are wrong. We are done for.
