    'I see everyday #politicians repeat like parrots #economic propositions they don't even start to understand, defending a model that a central #bank admitted was wrong over twelve years ago. ... The #Greens propose actual structural change and get labelled "communist" by people who have never read a balance sheet or a #Lenin text. The heterodox approach #predicted #2008, predicted the #housing #crisis, and predicted the current private #debt trap. The orthodox models predicted none of it ...'

    'The orthodox model was declared wrong by the Bank of #England in 2014. Their paper “#Money Creation in the Modern Economy” stated plainly: #banks do not lend out deposited #reserves in a multiplier chain. Banks create #deposits when they make #loans ...'

    (NZ's Social Credit Party got a Court to agree five decades earlier.)

    'The consequences are not theoretical or academic. When you worship the wrong model, you can’t do anything else than design the wrong #policy. You pretend not to see the #monopoly extracting over 6 billions from a #mortgage market they control 87% of. You don’t see that raising rates shift #income from #borrowers to banks and does not touch the supply of housing stock. You end up believing the #household metaphor is literal — that the Crown pockets are empty — when #NZ’s #Crown debt is 44% of #GDP...'

    (The OECD average is about twice that.)

    '... #Galileo was almost burned at stake for simply asking the #Inquisition #judges to look in the telescope. Same old, same old.'
    '.....
    'Gentlemen, it is clear cut #class #warfare, and the #vested interests are so encrusted in #society that they are winning. Remember that their main weakness is in numbers, they are damaging and literally #robbing the majority of us, of the New Zealand society and brainwashing many trees to think that voting for the axe is the #prudent, #family sensible thing to do. The only chance you have is when numbers talk. The #election is coming...'

  3. The Séance Court: Original Intent and the Fraud of Speaking for the Dead

    Nine lawyers in black robes sit in a marble temple in Washington and commune with the dead. They ask James Madison, silent since 1836, how he feels about bump stocks. They ask a Virginia planter to rule on geofence warrants and a Boston merchant to weigh encrypted messaging, and they transcribe the answers with straight faces into the United States Reports. Every other corner of American life has a name for this ritual. When a widow pays for it in a candlelit parlor, we call it a séance and we call the medium a fraud. When five justices perform it in October Term, we call it originalism, and law schools award tenure for defending the candles. […]

  4. #Judges appointed by presidents of both parties have often agreed. None have taken punitive action to try to force #compliance, however, allowing the admin’s defiance of orders to go on for weeks or even months in some instances.

    Outside #legal analysts say #courts typically are slow to begin #contempt proceedings for #noncompliance,
    especially while their rulings are under appeal.

  5. …A longtime force on the #Judiciary Cmte, Mr. #Durbin became its chair in 2021, resisting calls from progressives that he make room for a younger member given his leadership role & other #legislative responsibilities.

    He subsequently oversaw the confirmation of 235 federal #judges during the Biden admin—including one #SCOTUS justice—surpassing by one the number of judges confirmed by #Republicans during an aggressive push in #Trump’s first term.
