"I was satisfied that I wasn't personally to blame and that I hadn't known about those things. I wasn't aware of the extent of the crimes. But one day I went past the memorial plaque which had been put up for Sophie Scholl in Franz Josef Strasse, and I saw that she was born the same year as me, and she was executed the same year I started working for Hitler. And at that moment I actually sensed that it was no excuse to be young, and that it would have been possible to find things out."
Traudl Junge
“There is no middle ground anymore. There’s no standard. If you like Trump, you watch Fox. If you don’t like Trump, you watch CNN or MSNBC, or read The Times.”
Seymour Hersh
"You are anarchists in the realm of thought. And you are mad cosmos-makers. Each of you dwells in a cosmos of his own making, created out of his own fancies and desires. You do not know the real world in which you live, and your thinking has no place in the real world except in so far as it is phenomena of mental aberration.”
Jack London, The Iron Heel
It was a risk off day, as bonds sold off globally, and yields rose higher.
Stocks were in a swoon, just a day after the new highs.
Gold and silver lost a bit along with the Dollar. Go figure.
Non-Farm payrolls report for September.
If the number comes in weakly they will blame Hurricane Florence. If it comes in strongly they will credit Trump's tax cuts. And the news will be fixated on the latest from the pathological liars in DC.
It is as if there are any number of alternate universes, with individuals proudly crying out in wanton disappointment and impotent outrage from within deep wells of subjectivity. And no one cries louder than those who have the most. Greed knows no satisfaction, no bounds.
There must be a God, otherwise people would have no one to love them.
Have a pleasant evening.
