December 16, 2020 | Where Americans Splurged & Where They Cut Back in 13 Whiplash-Charts
Retail sales in November fell 1.1% from October, the second month in a row of declines, and they even fell with restaurants and bars removed from the total. Sales at nonstore retailers, the placeholder for ecommerce, eked out a new record. This is the second month now of what I called a month ago Stimulus […]
December 16, 2020 | Do You Smell a Top, or Just Kona Gold?
I’d be lying if I told you I smell a top. That would be like noticing a fart in a coffee roasting plant. With exuberant expectations of stimulus until kingdom come, the aroma of Kona dark is all that investors detect when they sniff the air for the scent of trouble. After all, what could […]

December 15, 2020 | Politics – It’s Over – Finally?
Can Trump still win without lawsuits or invoking the fraud provisions of the Executive Order of 2018? I am not trying to give anyone false hope. Many people have written in because they do not understand the system. The overseas readers seem to be upset the most for they were hoping for Trump to […]
December 15, 2020 | Time to “Turn The Page” on Opposing Trans Mountain Pipeline, says B.C. Cabinet Minister Murray Rankin
Though he long had “difficulty” with the venture, British Columbia’s new Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Minister now acknowledges the project deemed to be in the national interest has its approvals and is going forward.

December 15, 2020 | Rand Quantifies Income Theft From Workers by Corporations and Their Owners
Recent analysis by the RAND Corporation quantifies what increasingly corporate-centric policy shifts over the last 50 years have cost 90% of workers in terms of lost income. The study was American, but similar trends have transpired in most other countries in varying degrees as similar thinking and policies have spread throughout the world. The numbers […]
December 15, 2020 | Squandered
Why, I asked him, are you calling it that? Actually he never answered me. That was consistent, because Jim Flaherty (I’m pretty sure) hated me. He was a Stephen Harper man. I was radical, populist, blogger MP with the heretical view that people should tell government what to do, not vice versa. It didn’t end […]
December 15, 2020 | Long Term Gold/US Dollar Cycles Show Big Trends For Metals – Part I
Over the past few months, my research team and I have published a number of articles suggesting a broader market depreciation cycle has set up in the US/global markets that may propel precious metals much higher over the next 5+ years.

December 14, 2020 | The FBI Is The KGB For Democrats
The line about the KGB and Democrats appeared in the American Thinker on Sunday and is a scathingly accurate observation by Don Surber, a blogger. In thinking it might be a caption for a cartoon a check of “Images” listed some variations but no cartoon. For those old enough to recall network radio shows, there […]
December 14, 2020 | Time To Heel – Or Fight
In Part 1 of this article I discussed how our country has devolved from Huxley’s Brave New World of distraction and irrelevancy into Orwell’s world of Big Brother surveillance and Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago. Now I will make the case for joining the fight against the Great Reset. As more than half the country sleep-walks into […]
December 14, 2020 | Bubbles are ubiquitous, bubbles always burst
Those who say that it is not possible to recognize financial bubbles in advance are paid not to see them; this group includes most in the asset collection/investment product-selling business and central banks. Asset valuations, in themselves, cannot tell us when bubbles will burst, but they suggest when we are witnessing them and the depth […]

COMMENT: So now something that has been on the books for 95 years is suddenly a problem and UNCONSTITUTIONAL? So now it`s unfair to 1 man who in 4 years his only major accomplishment was to pass a tax break that the bulk of the tax break only benefited the top 1% ? In which […]
December 13, 2020 | Another 25 Books You Should Read
Since books are so central to the work that I do here at The Corbett Report, it should be no surprise that one of the most frequent requests I get is for a recommended reading list. In response to those requests, I compiled a New World Order Reading List back in 2015. But that obviously wasn’t enough […]
December 13, 2020 | This Time the Shoeshine Boy Is a Player
Here was a reassuring headline last week from Forbes online: Airbnb’s Higher Valuation Is Reasonable. What a relief! We can always count on the financial news media to provide a list of reasons why a stock is not overvalued no matter what its price. The trouble is, the story appeared before ABNB went public last Thursday. The IPO had been […]

She made $5,000 last year baking cakes in her home. Covid hit. The wedding biz plopped. She applied for CERB to supplement household income (hubby kept his job). The cheques rolled in. After collecting $18,500 in dole a letter from the CRA arrived questioning her eligibility for assistance. Pay the money back, it said. By […]
December 13, 2020 | Time To Heel
“Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. Within the next […]
