    Animal Farm Film A Hollywood Perversion Of Orwell’s Anti-Communist Classic George Orwell’s prognostications about the future of authoritarianism have proven consistently accurate.  They have only been limited by his inability to foresee the creation of certain technologies which make the future look even more bleak.  The reason his books, like 1984 and Animal Farm, are considered classics of literature is because they are […]

  • The Permanent Distortion Theory
    by Tyler Durden on May 4, 2026 at 1:00 am

    The Permanent Distortion Theory Submitted by QTR’s Fringe Finance “This time it’s different” is supposed to be the dumbest phrase in investing.

    by Tyler Durden on May 4, 2026 at 12:25 am

    China Tries To Assert Dominance Over Canada After Carney Trade Deal Historically speaking, crawling to communists for help has never been a good idea; there’s always a catch.  By extension, making trade deals with China and the CCP from a position of weakness usually ends with diplomatic concessions instead of mere economic concessions.  That is to say, the Chinese are less interested in economic benefits, and more interested in […]
