Posted in Health Care, Medicine, Noble Prize In Medicine and Public Health on October 27, 2025 by e-commentary.org

. . .

K          “A prize dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the work of someone who or some organization that contributes to the advancement of medicine and public health.  Someone who adheres to the phrase ‘first, do no harm’ and if possible ‘second, do good’ for the public.  The inaugural award is to Dr. John Campbell who courageously and tenaciously works to challenge medical orthodoxy and advance well-founded but unpopular ideas in a subtle and diplomatic way while keenly aware that rich and powerful interests oppose his efforts.”

J          “I’ll vote ‘present’ on this one.”

Tenth Annual Noble Prize In Jurisprudence (October 20, 2025)

Posted in Law, Noble Prize in Jurisprudence on October 20, 2025 by e-commentary.org

. . .

K          “A prize dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the work of someone who or some organization that really knows something about jurisprudence and the impact of courts, judges, lawyers and police on the lives and livelihood of ordinary citizens.  Someone who lives the conviction that men and women should establish and respect some norms and standards that are promulgated clearly to all and enforced equally in favor of and against all.”

J          “Someone who advances the Rule of Law and stuff like that.”

. . .

J          “This is my year.  This is the year.  The recipients of the tenth annual Noble Prize In Jurisprudence . . . are those members of the judiciary who are confronting and challenging the illegal and unconstitutional machinations of the current President and King.  Some the actions and decisions are admittedly petty and personal, yet there is a tide of illegality that must be resisted.  The courts may be the last bulwark.”

K          “My reservation is that the same judges engaged in Lawfare and ideological attacks.  They first turned the courts into an ideological war zone and now must confront some of their targets who are now in power and have made them their targets.  However, I will accede to a general nod to the judges that is also a nod to the elusive rule of law.”

Tenth Annual Noble Prize In Eco-nomics (October 13, 2025)

Posted in Economics, Noble Prize in Eco-nomics on October 13, 2025 by e-commentary.org

. . .

K          “An award acknowledging and celebrating the work of someone on the planet who really knows something about eco-nomics.  Eco-nomics is about making and sharing; e-con-omics is about taking and stealing.”

J          “The Noble Prize in Eco-nomics is a delightful and playful replacement for the discredited and misnamed ‘Nobel’ Prize in Voodoo E-con-omics.  You get what you reward.  You need to reward what you want to get.  Who gets it this year?”

K          “The recipient of the tenth annual Noble Prize In Eco-nomics is . . . David Rogers Webb, the author of The Great Taking book and documentary who discusses ‘the taking of collateral (all of it), the end game of the current globally synchronous debt accumulation super cycle.  This scheme is being executed by long-planned, intelligent design, the audacity and scope of which is difficult for the mind to encompass.  Included are all financial assets and bank deposits, all stocks and bonds; and hence, all underlying property of all public corporations, including all inventories, plant and equipment; land, mineral deposits, inventions and intellectual property.  Privately owned personal and real property financed with any amount of debt will likewise be taken, as will the assets of privately owned businesses which have been financed with debt.  If even partially successful, this will be the greatest conquest and subjugation in world history.’  His work provides the clearest vision into the Great Scam that is our current nightmarish political and economic landscape.”

J          “I second the award.  We are allowed to play with our money and our lives until it is inconvenient for the Owners.  We are all slaves now.”

. . .

K          “The Swedes will reward someone who is promoting and advancing our conquest and subjugation.”

J          “That is their job.”

What is this book about?

“It is about the taking of collateral (all of it), the end game of the current globally synchronous debt accumulation super cycle.  This scheme is being executed by long-planned, intelligent design, the audacity and scope of which is difficult for the mind to encompass.  Included are all financial assets and bank deposits, all stocks and bonds; and hence, all underlying property of all public corporations, including all inventories, plant and equipment; land, mineral deposits, inventions and intellectual property.  Privately owned personal and real property financed with any amount of debt will likewise be taken, as will the assets of privately owned businesses which have been financed with debt.  If even partially successful, this will be the greatest conquest and subjugation in world history.”

J          “This term, the Supremes must squire the disputes between Trump and the lower courts and reign in the King.  The Court may not be capable of providing a review of all the policy decisions designed to swarm and overwhelm the system.”

K          “The power of the Presidency has expanded in starts and fits since the Lincoln Administration.  While in power, neither party has done much voluntarily to restrain the Executive.  Now the guard rails of self-restraint are gone.”

J          “On its best day, the Supreme Court’s power is incomplete if not inadequate.”

. . .

K          “This is also our opportunity to render a verdict on the legal system.  The whole system could be indicted and convicted of incompetence on a good day and willful venality on a typical day.  Someone is profoundly disappointed.”

. . . 

J          “Here be dragons.”
