Introduction (Unrelated to Main Article Content)
The development of my TV show is at a bit of a standstill as I await my dear partner to acquire better internet access. We will begin doing a fake podcast soon, as I practice my ability to speak without constantly saying “um.” It’s a complex developmental journey for me personally. Regrettably or not, some of my oratorial eccentricities are simply going to have to be incorporated into my professional presentation. Speaking has never been my strong suit, but as Master Yoda said, “weakness can be a strength if you shamelessly embrace it.” A challenge is always good, particularly a challenge such as this, where there is actually no objective bar by which to measure success. Even the standard internet bar of popularity does not apply to me given the censorship.

We should always push ourselves. I could have moved into a different format of writing, or I could have just quit the internet and worked at well-paying writing jobs. But I like being creative, and I like creative challenges.
Point being: I have some time to write now, and I think with most of the groundwork having been laid for the show, even once the fake podcast gets going, I should be able to keep a writing schedule that keeps people happy and keeps people visiting the site. I also think the article by Tony went over well, and he may start contributing more. I’m also open to other contributors in the future, if they are good enough.
Beginning of Main Article Content
Yesterday, I sat down with a plan to write about Trump’s fifty-year mortgage scheme. However, that quickly went in another direction, as I decided that the ridiculousness of the failed tariff scheme and its theoretical connection with the Silicon Valley transhumanist utopianist agenda was a topic worth covering in some detail. (To be clear: that was indeed a theory I was presenting. However, it is not a theory that the Silicon Valley people gave Trump more money than the Israel people, and it is not a theory that the Silicon Valley people have an agenda to create chaos in order to establish a new world order. Given that the tariffs made no logical sense on any level, it seems to be the simplest possible explanation that that whole mess was part of a larger program to create a new order in America. The fact that we now see it leading into a potential UBI type program further goes to bolster that theory. But although I think it was clear enough from the context, I will state now that the conclusion I drew was necessarily a theory, as without someone leaking documentation of insiders saying it was the goal, it couldn’t ever be proved. However, I have not seen anyone explain what the purposes of those taxes were.)
The fifty-year mortgage thing is much less important than the Silicon Valley conspiracy, particularly given that it is unlikely to ever happen and is just one of these things that Trump throws out there. Still, thinking about this has caused me to think various thoughts I find worth sharing.
Needless to say, a fifty-year mortgage is a kind of lunatic concept. However, after:
- The tariff lunacy (see yesterday’s article)
- Claiming the Epstein files don’t exist and if they do exist they are fake, then attacking his own supporters and vowing revenge on them for talking about the Epstein files
- Refusing to end the Ukraine war despite no one being able to explain why it should keep going if you don’t believe, as the liberals did, that “hurting Russia” is valuable for its own sake because Russians are white Christians
- Attempting to do a regime change in Venezuela in the weirdest way possible
- Blowing up random boats that can’t possibly cross the ocean and claiming they are drug boats headed for America (instead of just easily interdicting them, and then sending out Tubs McGee AKA Jim Bowman to pretend to be a badass talking about murdering random people)
- Inventing the term “narcoterrorism” (are they distributing drugs for political purposes? If not, how is that a word?)
- Attempting to deal with tens of millions of illegal immigrants by rounding them up one by one
- Everything Pam Bondi has said since she took office (including when she told Stephen Miller’s wife that “hate speech” was illegal and she was going to start arresting people for it, and when she appeared before Congress and acted like she was a panelist on Piers Morgan)
- Everything that Kash Patel has said since he took office (including that his girlfriend, an alleged Israeli spy, has done more for the country than most Americans will do in ten lifetimes by singing very terrible songs, which remind you just how good Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” actually was)
- Taking full control of the curriculum of colleges and forcing them to teach that everything Israel does is good
- Using the FCC to threaten to remove Jimmy Kimmel from the air
- Deporting people for not supporting Israel hard enough
- Threatening to invade Nigeria (“with guns blazing,” mind you, like in a cartoon such as Quick Draw McGraw)
- Attacking healthcare while expanding the military budget to $1 trillion and refusing to make any serious attempt at actually deporting people (as well as a refusal to shut down H-1B, instead “reforming” it in a way that allows new regulations to be easily bypassed in like six different ways)
- etc.
no one should be surprised by lunatic concepts coming out of this administration.
The first thing to understand about this is that the mortgage system itself is a huge part of what has driven up the cost of homes. Mortgages allow people who can’t afford homes to buy them, and because there is a limited supply of homes, it raises the price. The difference between the cost of the wood, concrete, and plastic that homes are made out of (plus the labor), and the cost of the home, is in large part a result of the mortgage system. If people were required to save up to buy a home in cash, homes would be much cheaper across the board.
