Herewith, a few tweets on events of the day. It’s food for thought while we wait for the shape of events to come.Thanks for reading Meaning In History! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. First up—Credit Suisse. Gotta luv Culy’s line—”Pivot or Credit Suisse comes home in a body bag. Interestingly, in that regard, Goldman Sachs today came out with a sorta special plea for Credit Suisse—its competitor. Shakedowns to come?
I've said it here before...well, actually Eisenhower said it, but its worth saying again:
"This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. . . .Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. . . . In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
If things get as bad as predicted here in Europe, I'm going to replace the poster on my bedroom wall of Kim Kardashian with one of those Hak pickle jars. "No doubt the European public, and nowhere more than in Germany, is paying attention to this." Sorry, but I think most Euros still think Nordstream is a Swedish porn channel.
If they can fix the pipeline(s), they should announce that fixing NS2 is much easier and quicker which will explode more neocon heads. Also, announce you are sending the bill to Brandon...

I have a plausible theory about who blew the Russian pipelines and why..... it may surprise you.

Tom Luongo, he's a jolly good fellow
Prof. Sachs, caused pearl clutching attacks
The Federal Reserve has powers it doesn't deserve
2 percent inflation target, in deeds or only in words
The United Nations is a great farce, as is NATO
Ukraine makes me insane.
Can someone please provide a link to the Luongo tweet thread that Mark referenced recently?
I tried searching Luongo, but...does substack search intentionally suck?
Sounds to me like the fat lady is warming up off stage.
Why did the stock market go up today? Was the pipeline really blown up? Why should we believe anything?
