About jamesq

I write about economics, politics, and human behavior without the filters people use to protect their illusions. My work starts with natural law and ends with the world as it actually functions, not as citizens are encouraged to imagine it. Free markets evolved as an alternative to violence, and every modern trend away from them leads back toward coercion. I track those cycles, expose the incentives behind them, and explain how power really operates when the slogans are stripped away. Fantasy Free Economics exists to give readers an advantage: clarity in a world that rewards confusion. I don’t soften language, I don’t flatter tribes, and I don’t pretend that government, markets, or human nature are kinder than they are. My goal is simple—help people see the moving picture of events instead of the still frames they’re handed.

Logical Reasons For Legalizing Marijuana

Logical Reasons for Legalizing Marijuana.PDF Version

One important aspect of any law is how effective the law is in preventing the behavior it is designed to prohibit

When I taught high school I became certain that heavy marijuana use by teens and pre-teens destroys any chance they have of gaining much academically, by going to school. As a special education teacher, I learned that many of the students who qualified for the special education program were heavy marijuana users, A great number of those qualifying around middle school were actually stoned on the day they were tested. Marijuana was present all over campus and any student who wanted some did not have to look hard to find it Continue reading

World Domination And The Stock Marke

World Domination And The Stock Market
Posted on March 21, 2024 by jamesq¬
This is a question I answered on a public forum where I am apparently still welcome and for now uncensored.
Throughout history, when power has become concentrated, the strongest people have always made attempts to take over the world and run it the way they see fit. There has never been an announcement such as “”Hi , I am leader X. Now I am going to take over the world and make you and everyone else a servant to me. Is everybody ready? On your mark – get set – go! Here I come . Resist me if you wish. There was Rome, the Ottoman Empire, Spain, Britain…. Germany – and now some say the United States. Does anyone doubt that there are ongoing aspirations to take over the world and make use of all of its citizens?
The effort is being made, but not by a certain nation or even a group of nations. Corporate leaders, bankers and others have now figured out how to permanently subordinate the world’s population and use social engineering to keep them working on their behalf.Currently there is no nation expressly trying to take over the world. The militaries of the world now fight on behalf of the world’s richest citizens. In a sense we already do have a world government. We are all governed by elite business interests.
What is the quickest way to gain control of mankind’s time and energy? Control the sources of their essence. We are talking about human herding in its highest degree. Controlling the stock market and the financial markets is their ticket. Determine how much money everyone makes and folks will permanently be eating out of the hands of the world’s wealthiest members.
Few have figured this out. I say “Why wait forty years for history’s answers to emerge?” Here is the plan – and it has been going on for more than one decade. Use public money – which is basically free to its recipients , to concentrate stock ownership among a smaller and smaller group of wealthy interests. These are interests who are complicit in managing the time and resources of as many people throughout the world as is possible. This is a process of continuously moving equity ownership from weak hands into strong hands.
The plan is not only to move the stock market higher. It is more important to change the entire structure of the financial markets. To the degree the plan succeeds…. it will then be possible to dictate the direction of the stock market with more ease than with the current system. With most stock in the hands of citizens who will never sell, stock prices can be moved higher with earnings, without earnings….with losses….or under any circumstance.
Please understand that this effort will end in a catastrophe. That doesn’t mean it won’t be continued. Other attempts to take over the world have all failed eventually. As a motivating force, looking for ways to live off the efforts of others is actually stronger and more basic than the propensity to go out to work as an individual. As long as there is a viable chance to enslave the world’s general population , the effort will continue. This time, it is not a certain nation but a consortium of business interests , instead. As far as efforts to dominate the world are concerned, this one is a twist. It is taking folks a long time to figure out what is happening to them.

Facebook And Friends

Facebook And Friends.pdf

Big Tech firms face serious headwinds. The big one that confronts Facebook, is that people don’t use it anymore. Sure, the official numbers show otherwise.  There are ways to create official numbers. There is no way to hide reality when reality takes hold. Facebook is dead space. There is a limit to how long it can be presented as otherwise. For years, I used Facebook. I got off in 2020 because I was so offended by the censorship. At the time of my leaving, there were countless users who posted constantly – some all day long.

A few months ago, I logged into a page I opened using an AKA name created years ago. I have never used it. With that page, I only have four friends. Continue reading

How To Be Poor

How To Be Poor. PDF Version

Although not yet acknowledged, most Americans are going to lose everything they own. Why is this inevitable? Learn to think in the light of reality and it is completely clear. Do that and recognize what is obvious. Don’t do that and be suddenly surprised. Root causes become completely apparent. The United States has dismantled its free market system and opted for a system of central economic planning, though not stated and not in an easily recognizable form. Modern monetary theory solutions, i.e. QE etc., constitute central economic planning. With any kind of intervention , the government gets commandeered by the politically powerful who get laws passed and policies implemented which transfer resources to them. This practice has been ongoing in vengeance since the Reagan Administration. The damage is done. The consequences will be severe. This is reality. Continue reading

The Hard Sell Putin and Carlson

The Hard Sell Putin and Carlson.PDF Version

The truth is a hard sell. It has no market value. There are no bells and whistles, drama and such. Most anything sounds more appealing than the truth.  It gets replaced by fantasy. Fantasy becomes one’s real world. Instinctive behaviors guide most of mankind’s behaviors. I am sorry it is that way. Perhaps Jesus felt sorry when he said, “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” He never said the truth would make you so happy you would do back flips.  This is what Jesus also said. “Anyone who loves their life (fantasy life) will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world (fantasy life) will keep it for eternal life. (peace)” Substitute fantasy life for “life in this world” and peace for “eternal life” and this insight Jesus gave, applies to the secular world. Stop there if you wish. Those with spiritual  inclinations may understand that peace, not happiness is permanent and stays with a person after death. Whatever posture is assumed, the principle applies. Continue reading

The Future of Gregg Abbott

Prior to his new prowess as a border crisis hero, Abbott had earned a reputation as an admirer of the WEF and other collectivest  initiatives. Does one case of being a states rights hero change his stripes? Previously, I posted an article explaining the impossibility of a politician being elected to a high office without being a psychopath. As hard as this is to swallow, take the time to read the article (link below). Make a counter argument to each point made and explain to me how else it can be that way. Continue reading

The Pledge Of Allegiance

The Pledge Of Allegiance.pdf

Let’s look at the pledge of allegiance to the United States of America, in the light of reality. In doing this, I am not suggesting that any be disloyal to their country.

The pledge starts out, I pledge allegiance to the flag and to  the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands..

By taking the pledge citizens are pledging allegiance to the flag, and the country itself which is second in sequence. The flag is a symbol and an icon that stands for the country regardless of what it was, is, or is becoming . So, the country itself can change for the worse. The republic can lose its democratic principles. Citizens continue to focus on the flag. They may not notice when democratic principles are lost. Continue reading

Three Possible Paths To Reality

Three Possible Paths To Reality PDF Version
The escape from reality begins at birth.‭ ‬In the beginning,‭ ‬fantasy leaves reality in the dust.‭ ‬Early on,‭ ‬the reality gap gets wider and wider.‭ ‬Normally,‭ ‬reality catches up with a person several times during a lifetime.‭ ‬That occurs for a number of reasons.‭ ‬It can be a natural disaster,‭ ‬an ‬act of war,‭ ‬divorce or any number of emotional upheavals.‭ ‬The propensity to fantasize is strong and relentless.

In the end,‭ ‬reality catches us all.‭ ‬Since reality is the way it is,‭ ‬and fantasy is a false but ‭ ‬appealing alternative,‭ ‬the motivation to escape ‬is always with us.‭ ‬In the end‭ ‬,reality catches up and we all face what nature has in store Continue reading

Awareness Constitutes Self-Defense

The link is to the PDF book, The Great Taking by David
Rogers Webb

Not one in one thousand is aware of the dangerous situation they and the world they live in are in. Awareness truly does constitute self defense. With regard to unpleasant things and circumstances, all will be understood in time. With these things, it is better to understand soon as apposed to late. There is great insight in this book. It is the kind insight all will wish they had when it made a difference. It makes a difference now. It will make no difference at all later.

 

Immigration and Migration Insight

Immigration and Migration Insight PDF Version

Let us shine the light of reality on the global migration situation. Explanations and assessments so far have been on the “Let’s stop it now. All we have to do is stop them from getting in…” variety. That is the nature of life. That is the complete nature of politics. Politics is about the present moment only, There is no such thing as deferred gratification in public life. The suggestion of such a thing marks the end of any politician’s caree Continue reading

Life’s All Purpose Extra Strength Cleaner

Life’s All Purpose Extra Strength Cleaner.PDF Version

It is not wise to use a concentrated extra-strength cleaner without diluting it, especially any which are acid-based.

Possess and embrace the Fantasy Free Advantage. Then you are living in the light of reality. Reality is harsh. There is no way to do it. The light of reality is in fact, life’s concentrated, all-purpose cleaner. Reality is what is left when all of the lies of life are dissolved under the light of reality. Reality is harsh like an acid-based cleaner is.
