BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Tuesday, 9-10-19, with special guest DAVID BLACKWELDER

Posted on by

Featuring Right thinking from a left brain, doing the job the American Media Maggots won’t, embracing ubiquitous, sagacious perspicacity and broadcasting behind enemy lines in Occupied Kalifornia from the veritable Belly of the Beast, the Bill Mill in Sacramento, the capitol building at 10th and L Streets, I continue to proffer my thanks to the SHR Media Network for allowing me to utilize their studio and hijack their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursday nights, thanks to my shameless contract — as well as appear on the Sack Heads: Against Tyranny Show every Wednesday night.

Hour 1: BZ spoke to DAVID BLACKWELDER, candidate for Wake County (North Carolina) Sheriff’s Office in 2022. You can find his campaign page here, which features more information, news, photos and issues. You can donate to his campaign here.

BLACKWELDER’s Twitter page is @PoliceWake. You can find him here on Facebook.

In the process of researching Officer BLACKWELDER, Wake County, North Carolina, and the Wake County Sheriff’s Office, I chanced upon this article about Sheriff Gerald Baker, from BlueLivesMatter:

Wake County Sheriff Bans Officers From Wearing Sunglasses In Public

by Sandy Malone

Raleigh, NC – The newly-elected Wake County sheriff has prohibited all sheriff’s office personnel from wearing sunglasses – even on top of their heads – when talking to members of the public.

Wake County Sheriff’s Captain Teddy Patrick wrote a memo on behalf of Sheriff Gerald Baker on March 29 that announced the new policy to the department.

“Per Sheriff Baker’s directive: Effective immediately, while conducting official business on behalf of the Wake County Sheriff’s Office, sunglasses are no longer allowed to be worn atop of the head/forehead area or worn on the face while conducting official business when engaging the public or citizens of this County. Should you have any questions, please contact your direct supervisor,” the memo read.

Your first days in office, Sheriff Baker, and you determine this is your priority? Are you kidding me?

If you’d like to discover more about DAVID BLACKWELDER, candidate for Sheriff of Wake County, North Carolina in 2022, please listen to the first hour of the show.

Hour 2: BZ talked about the shocking passing of our good friend, KEL FRITZI, Canadian blogger, broadcaster and radio producer. DAVE MILNER called in and gave some more details about Kel Fritzi. She was a wonderful person, brilliant, bright, insightful, intelligent and engaging. Our world is diminished by her passing and she will be seriously missed.

Please listen to The Memorial Show, Our Tribute to Kel Fritzi here.

BZ also spoke about the Netflix documentary AMERICAN FACTORY and its revelations in terms of China, tariffs, Gordon Chang, and the fact that China is in some serious debt and quite a bad place — not nearly the catbird seat people would have you believe. Stay the course, America. We will prevail.

Thanks to everyone who called the show!

It’s a wash

Posted on by

To recap:

On Monday we were down 600 points, Tuesday down 200, Wednesday up 600 and Thursday the Dow is up 200, at this point.

We’ve ended up in the same place, so far, that we began on Monday.

Still: volatility.  Mixed with emotions.

Down 588, down 205, today up 600

Posted on by

Stocks Up and DownToday is Wednesday.

Today, NYSE stocks “shot up” 600 points.

It’s being termed the “best day” since 2011.

One possible reason for today’s performance may be:

In addition to an oversold bounce, some analysts also attributed the gains to comments from the Fed’s William Dudley that a September rate hike looks “less compelling” and a strong durable-goods report.

Monday was termed the “worst day” since 2008.

And here’s another interesting point:

U.S. economy looks better than the stock market

The recent American stock market tumble stands in sharp contrast with sentiment about the U.S. economy.

Further evidence of that was received on Wednesday. The government said orders for big-ticket items like appliances and cars jumped by 2% in July from June. That was significantly more than economists had anticipated.

Clearly, you’d best buckle up for the continuous stock market rollercoaster ride.  Because I don’t think we’ve seen the end of this at all.  Down up down up down up.

This may be the start of a “new normal.”

On the other hand, don’t take a cavalier attitude.  Don’t place all your rocks in stocks.  Diversify.  And moreover, be prepared for the Mysterians to step in at any time and kick the slats out of the stock market.

– 588 Monday, -200 today

Posted on by

Stock Market Roller Coaster

[Apologies for being late with today’s post; I had to go qualify at the range before the temperatures reached a post-apocalyptic 100-degrees. -BZ]

Yesterday, Monday, the stocks dropped over 1,000 points then rollercoasted a bit until, at the close of the day, they were down 588 points.  That’s some pretty serious shite.

Some people were saying that, because of it, Janet Yellen did some yellin’ of her own, to the tune of possibly considering a QE 4.

Today, Tuesday, the market rallied a bit until, again, the close of the day when selling took precedence and the market dumped its earlier gains, down over 200 points to 15666.

Get it?  That evil 666.

Time for pants-shitting-hysteria, or is this something of a correction?

I’m favoring the latter, for the reasons I explained yesterday.

The NYSE tried self-correction and it began to work.  Stock sharks picked up some good buys.  Then the Mysterians stepped in and kicked the slats out of the stock market.

Mysterians Fight The Earth With Terrible RaysAbove, Mysterians step in and kick the slats out of the stock market.

That’s as sage and cogent an amount of analysis as I’ve heard from anyone today attempting to explain the behavior of this week’s stock market.

P.S.

China is not done with us yet.

Zero Hedge: QE 4?

Posted on by

US Fiscal FutureChina is in terrible shape.

Essentially, the feelings about the economic turmoil in China is having its way with the NYSE and the Dow.

The Dow dumped over 1,000 points in the first five minutes of the market opening on Monday the 24th.  The numbers rollercoasted and the day ended at -588.

Nine “big” stocks today, including Walmart, Dupont and Apple, went down 20% on Monday.  That’s a pretty large chunk of cash in a rather disconcerting event.

So if you’re the Fed, what’s to do?

Janet Yellen raising your rates?  In September?  Some are saying — Barclay’s — that this plan may be pushed back to March of 2016.

Others, like ZeroHedge, are indicating there may possibly be a QE 4 in the offing.

From Tyler Durden:

Forget Rate Hikes: Bridgewater Says QE4 Is Next; Warns World Is Approaching End Of Debt Supercycle

That’s where we find ourselves now—i.e., interest rates around the world are at or near 0%, spreads are relatively narrow (because asset prices have been pushed up) and debt levels are high.  As a result, the ability of central banks to ease is limited, at a time when the risks are more on the downside than the upside and most people have a dangerous long bias.  Said differently, the risks of the world being at or near the end of its long-term debt cycle are significant.

Leading to the conclusion that “We Believe That the Next Big Fed Move Will Be to Ease (Via QE) Rather Than to Tighten“

Today meant: households just saw about $1.8 trillion dollars of wealth disappear.

And what about Mr Obama, his administration, and China itself?  Donald Trump said:

“I’m the one that says you better start uncoupling from China because China’s got problems, and they have big problems, and they’re bringing us down.”

The US is more dependent on China’s economy now than when Obama became president.  Our trade.deficit with China is on track to be more than double what it was in 2009.  US trade with China occupies a greater percentage of our total foreign trade than it did then.  Exports to China make up a greater percentage of our total exports than they did six years ago.  Chinese holdings of our Treasury Bonds have almost doubled since 2009, and direct foreign investment by China in the US has doubled under Obama.

“Experts” say that the US is staying at about a 2% growth scenario.  Some people say that’s a load of crap.  It’s worse.  Many are pointing their fingers at China for the entire schmeer.  Some people say that too is a load of crap, and can be traced back to George Bush and his TARP program, the beginning of the massive, massive bank and industrial bailouts continued and exponentially increased by Obama.

Some people say those entities should have been allowed to fail and, having done so, we would now be mostly out of our own fiscal woods and much more readily able to deal with China and Greece, in terms of strength and resiliency.

That said, what’s ahead?

I’m listening to Gordon Chang.

And he says: you ain’t seen nothing yet from China in terms of fiscal problems.  Further, the Chinese government is ill equipped to smooth things out.  Like because they’re, you know, Communists and all.  Which means their ability to “correct” is, well, not good.

In the meantime, Hillary says — in response — to increase capital gains.

Sure.

QE 4, here we come?
