3, 12, and 26 for the three songs ask game!

Hi there! :D

3. three songs you were recently obsessed with

to keep it fresh, I'll mention 3 new songs:

Bombs Away by Shotgun Willy

J CHRIST by Lil Nas X

(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi by 5MIINUST & Puulup

I wasn't going to say anything specific, all 3 of these are bops.

Then I looked up translated lyrics to the last one, which basically goes like "drugs? what drugs? i don't know anything about drugs, officer" - in Estonian. Which should be mentioned I think.

12. three favourite songs from video games

welp, trip down memory lane time

Hood Gone Love It by Jay Rock featuring Kendrick Lamar; representing Grand Theft Auto 5 / Online.

My favourite day 1 song from the game, and it is no less a banger 7.5 years after I had heard it for the first time.

Black Wave by K.Flay; representing Need for Speed: Payback.

A great song from a sub-par game that will forever have a place in my heart. Whenever it's on, I can't not think of hauling booty through the desert in an offroad Chevy Bel Air superbuild.

Run by Vasco and Patrick West; representing The Crew 2.

If you enjoy long drives, TC2 has you covered. And because long drives often require music (and I was bored), I stumbled into some exquisite country music. Plus I'm pretty sure there was a challenge for that.

26. three favourite non-English songs

once again I'm going to list 3 new songs:

Piraten Style by Julien Baum & Joon Kim.

Truly silly German parody rap that got recommended to me by spotify algorithms once.

Tłoki by Oliver Olsson & Gibbs.

I never got to play the latest NFS installment, but I did listen to its soundtrack. I'd describe it as "thousand flavors of hip hop" and Tłoki is the Polish offering.

Hi-DRIVERS! by NIGHT BREAK, NANAIRO MONSTER, SIN DESTINY and DJUNGARIAN.

About half a y- *checks dates* nope, that was a full year ago - I found out about an anime being made that combined car racing and idols. It sounded exciting and the title track (mentioned here) slapped, but the project is in development hell as of May 2023.

Thank you for the ask! :D

Thriving in an Economic Bubble during Anarchy

1. The Christian Succession – Is Gathering Steam

My title for the last two weeks of blogs did not capture the challenge of making financial decisions currently. So, I changed the title for this series to reflect reality - these are abnormal times and the value of your assets are being impacted. The risk levels today are unique in USA history. The closest parallel is Venezuela when it shifted from a capitalistic society to socialism with the predictable result of becoming an economic disaster. The post-World War I period in Germany also provides some useful insights into a society experiencing hyperinflation.

Although we may not see hyperinflation, you should read “When Money Dies” by Adam Fergusson. Post-World War I Germany is a story of hyperinflation resulting in social instability while Venezuela is a story Marxist gaining control of a society resulting in hyperinflation. The common threads are social instability and hyperinflation. Extreme makes the lessons obvious.

History shows that Marxists and their cousins take control of a society using two strong forces - (1) fear and (2) destruction of historical guideposts. Their goal is the use of confusion and intimidation against anyone opposed to them to create a period in which laws are not enforced leaving them in power, a state known as “Anarchy”. The perpetrators are so consumed with their desire for money and power, both false idols, that they are in a state of dementia. Hence the origin of the term – Demented Marxists (DM).

In contrast to DMs, Christians recognize that we serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Some Christians believe that walking with Christ and turning cheeks means they must be quiet in the face of evil. Quiet is interpreted by DMs as agreement. Nowhere in the Bible are Christians told to meekly follow Satan into eternal life in Hell. Instead, Christians are instructed to put on the amour of God and stand up for our faith even in the face of persecution. We are there.

Fortunately, many Christians in the USA are mobilizing to counter the DMs. That struggle between good and evil will have an enormous impact on our economy and therefore the land market. A quick review of some of the most significant events of the last week frames the status of the current forces impacting our economy.

1. On Friday it was reported by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) that they have had in custody for three months the most senior Chinese defector EVER and the defector’s expertise includes knowledge of the Chinese bioweapons. Apparently, the DIA has not previously disclosed this defector to the CIA or the FBI because of the DIA’s concern that both the FBI and CIA are thoroughly infiltrated with Chinese spies. How does that make you feel? Does it provide some clarity?

2. The release of Dr. Fauci’s emails from 2020 provided fascinating insight. Apparently -

a. He emailed masks were not beneficial while demanding everyone should wear a mask.

b. He emailed that virus survivors were therefore immune but publicly demanded they should be vaccinated.

c. He stated that the virus was absolutely not from the Wuhan Bioweapon lab while knowing that (a) he had funded the Wuhan Bioweapon lab and (b) instructed the Wuhan Bioweapon lab to test the bat virus as a potential bioweapon.

d. The release of his book on his experience in 2020 was postponed due to the uproar.

3. In elections this week:

a. The architect of the opposition to Chick Fil- A coming to San Antonio was defeated.

b. McAllen, Texas, 85% Hispanic that provided Clinton a 40% margin and Biden a 17% margin just elected its first Republican Mayor.

4. Two pastors in Lubbock, Texas decided that community should become the largest “Sanctuary City for the Unborn”. Their effort that resulted in the passage of an ordinance declaring abortion to be murder except when the mother’s life is at risk. Planned Parenthood filed suit in Federal Court over the ordinance and the judge dismissed it.

5. So many states have now passed laws requiring biological males to compete as a boys not girls that the NCAA has quietly dropped their threat to withhold playoff games in those states.

6. The Washington & Lee University Trustees voted not to change the name of their university. It was so refreshing to identify some adults in leadership position.

7. The chief economist of Deutsche Bank released a statement this week that rising inflation will be the next global crisis. His forecast is the crisis will hit in 2023. The DM economists were quick to label his statement as wrong. The train wreck is coming.

The stock market is trying to price the impact of future increased interest rates. We continue to believe the highest probability is that by the end of this calendar year the 10-year Treasuries will have risen to perhaps 2.5 - 3.0% taking mortgage interest rates up to perhaps 4.0 – 4.5%. Rising mortgage rates are already slowing the housing market. The rates have not yet increased enough to move from slowing to damaging that market. As mortgage rates rise, the amount of mortgage that a borrower can qualify to obtain from a bank diminishes thus reducing demand as potential buyers/borrowers get taken out of the market thus slowing the real estate market. Economic growth in the USA will slow in 2022. This Bubble will burst.

The threat of higher tax rates, both increases in Capital Gains and Inheritance taxes, is already entering into business decisions. The top 40% of household pay all the taxes and the top 10% pay 90% of the taxes. Anyone who believes that only the rich will be impacted by the DM higher taxes is naïve, a fool, or both. Raising taxes on corporations (those things that provide employment for a lot of folks) carries a huge inflation cost. The value of the stock of publicly traded corporations is based upon the profits of that corporation. Raise their taxes and they will be forced to raise their prices for their goods to maintain their profits. That is called “Inflation”.

If you have read Mr. Fergusson’s book, “When Money Dies”, you recognize what is happening. Keep in mind that in Germany the cost of one egg in 1919 was the equivalent of the cost of a farm in 1914. The stock market in Germany rose substantially from 1918 to 19223 but did not keep up with inflation. Incomes increased between 1918 and 1923, but in 1923 the effective buying power of salaries was 20% of the effective buying power in 1918.

When an economy is already experiencing production shortages, the power of deficit spending is transferred in the economy to increased inflation. That is already occurring as demonstrated by the inflation rate reported in April rose to 4.2% for the previous 12 months and 0.8% for the month of April, a 9.6% annual rate of inflation. I laughed when I read that Biden has appointed a commission to correct the supply chain problems. Maybe Biden will appoint Harris to that since she is doing such a great job on her other four assignments…NOPE. What a stark difference between a career politician and a business head. At least consistency is a virtue, even when negative because there are no surprises.

149 days into the DM’s coup, more details regarding the fraudulent election last November emerge daily. The patriot attorney in Antrim County, Michigan says that the audit there has discovered those election machines were access by an unknown third party after the election and has called for the Secretary of State to resign or be impeached and the election to be De-Certified. The list of states either auditing the 2020 election or actively visiting Arizona and considering auditing the election continues to grow. Where are the Virginia Republicans?

Stay tuned. Can you smell the fear of the DMs?

A great piece of land remains The Best investment long term. Capitalism builds wealth, Marxism/Socialism consumes it in self destruction. Pray for a return to honest elections in the USA. God is in control. Men make plans, but God ALWAYS wins. Stay focused on this verse:

“Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.”

(Ephesians 6:13) New Revised Standard Version, Oxford University Press)

Stay healthy,

Ned
