Tomorrow Decides Who Gets the Blame for the 2026 Great Recession

Tomorrow, the UK electorate will be voting. To decide on who gets the blame for the 2026 Great Recession. 

The Recession vehicle is mortgages. The asset is real estate. The net affect will be 30% correction in house prices overnight. And either 1) government bailing out all single homeowner mortgagors or 2) 1 in 10 families losing their homes and families. More likely a bit of both.

By the end of 2026 we forecast the economies of the western world will have collapsed, so that they're in a position to recover from the past 20 years, and re-establish themselves for the next 20.

Whichever party wins the 2024 election will bear the brunt of blame in 2026 for causing the recession. It will not have been their policies which caused it but the majority who elected them. Nevertheless, this majority will blame the incumbents for the recession. To such an extent that another snap rejection will be forced onto the government and the other side of the Uniparty will be back in power.

Notice how housing comes up with high visibility in all manifestos on the ballot. Yet no one dares talk about restitution. Only jealousy of wealth and punishment of those who have a lot of it. Never a root cause analysis of periodic recession in spite of huge productivity. The biggest driving factor in global finance will escape.

How come? There are 27 million households in the UK. Each with 2.2 votes - an overwhelming majority. Democracy is a sham. The reality is this so called one man one vote is about getting rent and hanging onto it in spite of the consequences. Be that by getting a mortgage or buying second homes. Or beyond that trading in derivatives and securities which follow housing indirectly, AKA global finance. Which is largely monopoly profits, or economic rent, which eventually  ends up coming out of land values anyway. Only a fecund householder and voter knows this intuituvely and will never adopt any other investment policy. The feckless homeowner who does not have this wisdom and authenticity should be seen as no better than a gambler who's family should divorce him and put as much distance between them and him as possible.

For the candidates, it's forbidden to discuss homeownerism. It will make you unelectable for the reasons above. Discussing the eminent possibility of solving most large scale economic and financial problems is not on the table if you want to be elected. So do not blame the politicians it's You the house buyer who in the final analysis decides and has the real power. And the majority of you will vote for homeownerism as normal. This election is no different.

This is great news for Landlords like me. Tomorrow will be an entertaining day to observe. That is, how intensely will homeowners vote for rent this time, notwithstanding where they stand politically? Whichever way it swings is irrelevant to the economy. Whichever way it goes will be driving rental values anyway. I will observe the entertainment while smoking cigars.

Be authentic, and live.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
