It was a sobering dinner party last night (6/16). Hosted by a London billionaire in his exquisite home - a Boccaccio hung on the wall behind me -
the wine flowed liberally, but the conversation between the ten of us was
stone-cold serious.
There were lighter moments, as when I proposed a toast to "a great hero of
Europe - Geert Wilders." Every one raised their glass in a smile, but the
biggest smile was that of a spectacularly gorgeous super-model (you've seen her
in many a high-fashion ad). She was from Holland.
Then a well-known Hollywood producer raised his glass to toast his hero -
Ronald Reagan. "We need him again," he commented. I guarantee you've
watched one of his TV shows.
But when a self-made billionaire with an 11-figure private equity fund and a
clear grasp of Austrian economics starts to talk about America's prospects, you
listen. So we all listened.
Being in London, he started there. "To call (new Brit PM David) Cameron a
disaster is like calling Hurricane Katrina a squall. He's as much a Conservative
as I am a Moslem. I have already started preparing to relocate to Switzerland.
If he succeeds in his current push to raise capital gains taxes from 18% to 50%
-- and it looks like he will - the British economy and the London real estate
market will crash. The best play around will be to short the pound.
"In short, Cameron and Osborne (George Osborne, David Cameron's Oxford
classmate and now in Cameron's cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer,
equivalent to our Treasury Secretary) lead secret lives. Just as they hide from
the public that they are homosexual behind the pretense of a marriage, they
hide their liberal agenda behind the pretense of being conservative. They will
destroy Britain's economy just as sure as Obama is destroying Americas."
There followed a spirited exchange about financial escape hatches -- if the
euro, the pound, and the dollar fall off their respective cliffs, where does
anybody go? The time-worn adage of "buy gold, buy silver, buy Swiss
Francs" may work for individuals, but world equity markets are in a trap
from which there is no clear exit.
One opinion was, "The best run governments around today are those of
Canada and Singapore - having one's savings denominated in their currencies is
not a bad idea." Then we got back to America.
"You know what my biggest fear is?" our host asked. "It's not
really Obama, for what he's done is to accelerate what the liberals have been
slowly doing for decades - so quickly that their socialism is obvious to
everyone. Which means the solution is obvious to everyone. My biggest fear is
that voters will give Republicans the power to repair America on November 2nd -
and the Republicans won't have the courage to do it."
All I could respond with was "Ouch," to shake my head and sigh. I
mentioned an email I just got from a friend of many years in Las Vegas. He's a
very successful banker and businessman who knows everyone in Republican
politics in Nevada - and I had asked his opinion of how Sharron Angle might
possibly beat Harry Reid. The reply I got back shocked me. He will do nothing
to help her, he said, as she is too "extreme."
Why is she considered extreme? our host asked, not on intimate terms with
Nevada primary elections. Because she wants a government restricted to
constitutional activities, I replied, which means, for example, eliminating
such things as the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Our host leaned over the table to look at me as if his eyes were lasers.
"Jack, you need to explain something to your friend. You need to explain
something to America and all those Congressmen you know. Amputate or die.
That's the choice America has right now. That's the choice Republicans will
have after November 2nd, because they're the only surgeons around who can do the
surgery."
Everyone was quiet so he continued. "Gangrene will kill you. If you don't
amputate a finger or other limb that's gangrenous, it will spread bacterially
[via Clostridium perfringens], and you will die. Look at these unconstitutional
growths of government on the body public as gangrenous infections that have to
be amputated for the body to continue living."
He looked around the table at all of us. "You know that I know all the
main players in the world economy. Some are fools who don't know what they are
doing like Strauss-Kahn (Dominque Strauss-Kahn, head of the IMF, International
Monetary Fund), some are not like Trichet (Jean-Claude Trichet, president of
the European Central Bank). America has no adult on the economy's lever -
Geithner is more of a hopeless disaster than Bush's Paulson was, and Bernanke
is worse than Greenspan.
"So I don't know any player whose smarts I really respect who has much
hope for America, who doesn't see an alternative future than the destruction of
America's wealth through hyper-inflation. They think elephants will fly before
Republican elephants will do what is necessary if the voters give them the
power to do it."
He looked at me - so everyone else did. "Are they wrong, Jack?" The
question hung in the air as I felt my face redden.
"Thanks, pal," I responded with a smile to gain a little time.
Everyone did laugh for just a moment, then I had to jump into the waiting
silence. Here's what I said.
"The situation is dire, there is no doubt, the gravest since the Civil
War. The only hope I see is with the anger of the TeaPartyers. That anger is
directed just as much towards Republican cowards as towards Democrat fascists.
We don't have to wait long to see the power of that anger. Just six days from
now (6/22) in South Carolina, Nikki Haley the TeaPartyer is going to wipe out
Gresham Barrett the RINO, even though the state GOP establishment is doing
everything slimy to smear her.
"I think your player-friends have to see things not as Democrat vs.
Republican but as the Court Party - the establishment in power be they Democrat
or GOP - vs. the Country Party, the TeaPartyers who want an end to all the
corruption, Dem or GOP. Your players are part of the Court Party. The
TeaPartyers you might think are like those who led the French Revolution - but
they are like those who led the American Revolution instead.
"Yes, the TeaPartyers own most of the 300 million guns in America, but
they don't want blood unless there's no choice. Note the ‘unless.' November 2nd
better be an honest election. What the TeaPartyers must grasp is Churchill's
call after the battle of El Alamein [November 1942], that November is only ‘the
end of the beginning.'
"So you are right - the only hope is radical surgery to cut out all the
metastasizing cancer, to amputate unconstitutional gangrene, or another
metaphor, to be like Alexander and cut the Gordian Knot with a swordstroke.
"But the question really is not whether Republicans have the courage to
perform the surgery, to defund ObamaCare, to defund the entire Obama agenda, to
defund entire agencies like the Department of Education, Energy, and the EPA.
It is whether the TeaPartyers have the courage and capacity to force the
Republicans to. I mean, how is eliminating the EPA extreme, and EPA unconstitutional
fascism not extreme? We'll find out, because they are America's only hope
now."
Everyone waited for our host's response. "And the hyper-inflation? The
debt's already baked in the cake, no matter what future spending is cut."
"Hyper-inflation is only another word for total default. The only way to
avoid it is a government default on its debts only. Then we can switch from a
worthless fiat currency to an asset-backed currency." I smiled. "Gold
brings freedom."
He smiled in return and raised his glass. "We can all drink to that. To
gold, to freedom, and these TeaPartyers - may Jack be right about them. May
they amputate fascism before the fascists amputate our freedom."
