Barge Movie Review – Mr. Friday Night
I grew up watching the barges ply the waters by my home. They were always mysterious…ships from a distant land, just passing through. Each with different colors and designs, carrying different loads. Coal, rock, liquid containers. So this movie fascinated me. Finally getting a glimpse into what it is like to live and work on …

Cancel your rent, buy a van and set up your home. “If you …
How Corporate Stores Impoverish Cities
Corporate is building one of the chain tire stores in my town, which was allowed of course by the great overseers on the building committee or zoning dept or whatever hideous name they use. Besides already having many tire shops in town, we needed more. Especially a corporate chain store. What they don’t understand is …
How to Become Rich…and Why It’s the Last Thing to Want
Nothing is sacred for a businessman. Everyday is a good day to acquire more money. It is their god – to get more money. All other values are below that of acquiring more money. I’ve known a few wealthy people throughout my life…and to a man…they were uninteresting…plain…dull. There was nothing to separate them from …

Michael Pento – Crash in 3rd Quarter?
I like Michael Pento. He seems like a good guy, a Christian, trying to do right for his clients…which is a hard ask in an economy created by devious central bankers. I want to give him some space on this page.

Must Read… This is a fascinating account of what happened regarding vote fraud and the Trump campaign’s half-hearted attempts to investigate it.

Mr. Friday Night Movie Review – Shenzhen: The Silicon Valley of Hardware –
A fascinating look inside a manufacturing ecosystem. Learn why America is falling and China is rising… I can’t say enough about this movie.

Coming home from the Gulag
I love this painting…showing a father unexpectedly showing up at home after political exile in Siberia…with the whole family in various shades of shock upon seeing him. From the housekeepers waiting to see how everyone will react, to the wife, to the apprehensive little girl, to the boy about to be overcome with joy. What …

A trip to the distopia that is Lowes
I had to go to Lowes yesterday to grab an air filer, and it felt unwelcoming and inhuman…almost dystopic. Of course, everyone was cowed and wearing the mask of submission. Driving up in their car, in the parking lot etc…almost total submission and compliance. I had to return an item and waited in the 6’ …

Here at Man and War we appreciate those people who stand up for what they believe in, regardless of if we feel their position is correct or not. It is the act of standing up which is beautiful.

Patience during a Bubble, Or, “The Fine Art of Snoring” as Nock wrote.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is have patience. You want in…when the whole world is grabbing at something, making it seem like the greatest sure-fire thing in the world to do, it’s easy to get caught up with the herd. Maybe the herd is right and you miss out on a great opportunity, or …

Home Prices are Now Soaring at “4.5 Times The Fed’s Inflation Target In All US Cities”
As I said in my last post: Once people realize that prices are moving higher in earnest, they will dump cash even faster, pushing prices even higher. At some point, the people will understand that the Fed has been, is and will continue destroying their society and entire civilization. How long it takes for them …
