DRIVING THE DAY

"Nine months ago, Republicans were questioning DONALD TRUMP's place as the lead fixture of their party. Saturday night provided the clearest evidence yet that they want him right there."

This morning's must-read piece comes from Meridith McGraw, reporting from Saturday night's Trump rally in Des Moines, Iowa, where we saw a clear glimpse of two interrelated dynamics that are shaping the GOP as it marches into the 2022 midterms:

1) There's a big gap between the GOP message and Trump's message. On Saturday night we heard both from Trump himself — the former when he read the speech that was written for him, and the latter when he said what he really thought.

— The GOP message: "After just nine months under [President JOE] BIDEN, violent criminals and bloodthirsty gangs are taking over our streets; illegal aliens and deadly drug cartels are taking over our borders; inflation is taking over our economy; China's taking over our jobs; the Taliban has taken over Afghanistan; lunatic leftists are taking over our schools; and radical socialists are taking over our country — and we're not going to let that happen."

— Trump's message: "I'm telling you the single biggest issue, as bad as the border is and it's horrible, horrible what they're doing, they're destroying our country — but as bad as that is, the single biggest issue — the issue that gets the most pull, the most respect, the biggest cheers — is talking about the election fraud of the 2020 presidential election."

That's a problem for Republicans. Many of them want to make the midterm elections about the issues — inflation, the border, Afghanistan, etc. — to set the election up as a referendum on Biden's presidency. Trump doesn't. The bulk of his speech, Meridith writes, "was devoted to his baseless claim [that] the 2020 election was stolen." In focusing on that issue above all others, Trump effectively makes the 2022 election a referendum on him instead of Biden.

2) The GOP establishment is now along for the ride. "Trump has held rallies since leaving the White House," Meridith writes. "But never have elected Republicans of such tenure and stature appeared with him. And the presence of [Sen. CHUCK] GRASSLEY in particular signified that whatever qualms the GOP may have had with Trump are now faded memories; whatever questions they had about the direction of the party have been resolved. …

"Back in January, Grassley offered a stinging condemnation for Trump's behavior in the aftermath of the 2020 election — the type of statement that, at its heart, suggested a desire to rid himself of the messiness. … But Grassley is in a different place now. He recently announced, at age 88, that he is running for an eighth term. And with it, Trump has gone from nuisance to needed. …

"For Trump, this is a wonderful gift. The ex-president has been openly discussing the likelihood that he will run for president again. To be greeted with open arms in the all-important, first-in-the-nation presidential caucus state of Iowa was a flashing-neon light signal to voters that this party remains his. And he's done it all while still launching broadsides against current leadership (he eviscerated Senate Minority Leader MITCH MCCONNELL at various points on Saturday for striking a deal with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling and for not having the 'courage to challenge the election') and without offering a morsel of remorse for how his presidency ended."

DOWN TO THE WIRE IN VIRGINIA — Three weeks out from Election Day, WaPo has a trio of stories on its front page about the Virginia gubernatorial race: a curtain-raiser by Marc Fisher, and dueling profiles of the two main candidates:

— For TERRY MCAULIFFE, the election is a test of whether he "had a hand in permanently changing Virginia's political complexion or just whipped up a blue blush in reaction" to Trump, writes Gregory Schneider. It's not just a test of how much Virginia has changed; it's also about how much the Democratic Party has changed, how much McAuliffe himself has changed, and how all of that interacts to affect turnout.

— For GLENN YOUNGKIN, the election is a tug of war between two competing images voters are receiving, writes Laura Vozzella : "Is he a Trump 'wannabe' and conservative social warrior, as his Democratic rival contends? Or a common-sense businessman and basketball dad who just wants to lower grocery bills, strengthen schools and boost the economy? … Youngkin has managed, at various times, to come off as all those things." In part, that's the same messaging conundrum faced by every candidate. But one thing that makes it different for Youngkin is that it's also a byproduct of a GOP that is torn about its own direction, and the particular challenges that presents for someone who seems as establishment in his bearing as Youngkin.

— QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Because I'm an email-signing slut" -JAMES CARVILLE. That's what the famed Democratic operative told Zach Montellaro when asked why he has sent 47 fundraising emails for McAuliffe's camp since mid-July.

THREE MORE TOP SUNDAY READS …

— A big sticking point in Dems' reconciliation talks: drug prices. And with the deadline for an agreement hitting in a matter of weeks, "Democrats have yet to bridge their differences" over "how aggressively to take on drug prices," Alice Miranda Ollstein and Laura Barrón-López report. The debate features an odd assortment of players: Sens. JOE MANCHIN (D-W.Va.) and BERNIE SANDERS (I-Vt.) agree that Medicare should be able to negotiate drug prices; Rep. SCOTT PETERS (D-Calif.), a pharmaceutical industry ally whose San Diego district has a large life-sciences sector, wants a narrower plan than most Democrats; Sen. KYRSTEN SINEMA (D-Ariz.) hasn't made up her mind; and the White House is pressing the issue with moderates in the House and Senate.

— The next few weeks are make-or-break for the Biden administration. WaPo's Jeff Stein and Seung Min Kim write that the coming weeks will be critical in turning the tide for a White House that has endured months of negative headlines. "Beyond that, the coming weeks will tell whether Biden's central message — that America's democratic system can still tackle big problems — will hold true. Even if the president cannot push through his major goals by month's end, he faces enormous pressure to show at least some progress, with White House aides looking at the months leading up to Christmas as a crucial window."

— There's a prominent doctor who has consistently crusaded against vaccines, medical consensus and government guidance — and he's also a U.S. senator. AP's John Hanna looks at ROGER MARSHALL, the first-term GOP senator from Kansas who sticks "Doc" at the top of his official office's press releases, and finds that "he has company in other GOP doctors, dentists and pharmacists in Congress, several of whom have also spread sketchy medical advice when it comes to the pandemic."

A message from Amazon:

As the largest job creator in the U.S., Amazon's investment in free skills training can have a huge impact for hundreds of thousands of families across the country.

 

SUNDAY BEST …

— House Minority Whip STEVE SCALISE (R-La.), pressed repeatedly on "Fox News Sunday," refused to say whether he thinks the 2020 election was stolen and instead tried to argue that states didn't follow their laws. (Regular reminder: It was not stolen.)

— McAuliffe on Dems' legislative struggles, on CNN's "State of the Union": "Why haven't we passed this infrastructure bill? … I'm traveling all over Virginia: They're worried about minimum wage, they want child care, they want elderly care, they want to see paid sick leave, family medical leave … They want them to get their job done. They're paid to get up in Washington, get this done, and the frustration is: Why isn't it done by now? Sixty-nine votes in the Senate two months ago. Get it done this week. Do your job."

— Sen. AMY KLOBUCHAR (D-Minn.) on Facebook, on "State of the Union": "The time for conversation is done. The time for action is now."

BIDEN'S SUNDAY — The president has nothing on his public schedule.

VP KAMALA HARRIS' SUNDAY — The VP has nothing on her public schedule.

CONGRESS

RECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES — Sanders isn't holding his tongue any longer as Democrats negotiate their reconciliation spending bill. In an interview with WSJ's Eliza Collins, he said of Manchin and Sinema, "They have a right to fight for their ideas, they have a right to get concessions for their ideas, as does every other member of the caucus, but it does seem to me to be basically unfair and undemocratic for two people to say it's my way or the highway." And Sanders said his number is still $3.5 trillion.

BIPARTISANSHIP ISN'T DEAD — Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill are finding rare agreement right now: Big Tech is facing its "Big Tobacco" moment. The result for the Silicon Valley giants, NYT's Cecilia Kang writes, "is likely to be a yearslong, complicated path toward new rules and regulations, with no guaranteed result."

ALL POLITICS

IOWA'S BIG LOSS — Despite its big win on the football field Saturday, Iowa could be eyeing a huge loss in the coming years as Democrats debate stripping the state of its "first-in-the-nation" status. "[T]he day of reckoning for Iowa Democrats is fast approaching, as the national party starts to create a new calendar for the 2024 presidential nomination that could remove Iowa from its privileged position for the first time since 1972," WaPo's Michael Scherer reports . "The caucuses' reputation has been damaged by high barriers to participation, a dearth of racial diversity, the rightward drift in the state's electorate and a leftward drift in the Democratic participants."

THE PANDEMIC

THE VACCINE DIVIDE — Moderna has created a highly effective vaccine to fight the coronavirus. But the company has also contributed to a growing disparity between rich and poor nations as the globe tries to beat back the pandemic, NYT's Rebecca Robbins reports. "About one million doses of Moderna's vaccine have gone to countries that the World Bank classifies as low income. By contrast, 8.4 million Pfizer doses and about 25 million single-shot Johnson & Johnson doses have gone to those countries."

POLICY CORNER

FED UP — After another weak jobs report, some experts question whether the Fed has an adequate grip on the current state of the economy. A "growing number of economists and experts acknowledge that the nation's top economic policymakers underestimated the delta variant's threat to job growth, inflation, global supply chains and people's own comfort levels going into the fall," WaPo's Rachel Siegel writes.

ANTITRUST, SO HOT RIGHT NOW — DOJ has been quietly escalating its antitrust enforcement since Biden took office, even though the department's chief has not been confirmed yet, WSJ's Brent Kendall reports . "Antitrust staff, whether at the department or the FTC, tend to be oriented in favor of bringing cases … This year, career Justice officials have been empowered by the department's top brass to push forward when there is a case to be made."

AMERICA AND THE WORLD

TALIBAN TAKEOVER — The Taliban said Saturday that it would not help the U.S. contain extremist groups in Afghanistan, AP's Kathy Gannon reports in Islamabad. "Senior Taliban officials and U.S. representatives are meeting this weekend in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Officials from both sides have said issues include reining in extremist groups and the evacuation of foreign citizens and Afghans from the country. The Taliban have signaled flexibility on evacuations. However, Taliban political spokesman SUHAIL SHAHEEN told The Associated Press there would be no cooperation with Washington on containing the increasingly active Islamic State group in Afghanistan."

TAIWAN LATEST — "Chinese President XI JINPING vowed on Saturday to achieve 'peaceful reunification' with Taiwan, and did not directly mention the use of force after a week of tensions with the Chinese-claimed island that sparked international concern," Reuters' Carlos Garcia and Yew Lun Tian report in Beijing. "Taiwan responded to Xi by calling on Beijing to abandon its coercion, reiterating that only Taiwan's people could decide their future."

— Taiwan has become the center of the "deepening discord between China and the United States," NYT's Chris Buckley and Steven Lee Myers write . "The island's fate has the potential to reshape the regional order and even to ignite a military conflagration — intentional or not."

FOR YOUR RADAR — French President EMMANUEL MACRON wants to push for a worldwide ban on the death penalty and is planning to use France's upcoming turn for the presidency of the Council of the EU as a jumping-off point, POLITICO Europe's Vincent Manancourt writes.

BAIER BEGINNINGS: With Fox News celebrating its 25th anniversary, its big-name hosts have been making the media rounds to talk about the network's rise. We caught up last week with a man who's been with the channel for 23 of those years: Bret Baier. Even though he feels like a Washington staple, he didn't start his career running around the halls of Congress as a print reporter or as a local reporter who caught his big break at a D.C. bureau.

He was a one-man band running Fox News' Atlanta bureau from his apartment with a fax machine, a cellphone and a freelance photographer. Despite having such a small footprint in the city where CNN is headquartered, Fox still had to flex, so they erected a billboard right outside of CNN's parking lot. "It said, 'Fox is here, fair and balanced,' but it was just me," Baier told Playbook. At the time, Baier was desperate to get on Brit Hume's show — the program he eventually took over — so he pitched political stories from around the country. But it was 9/11 that finally brought him to D.C. "I started doing live shots outside of the burning Pentagon," he said, "and never left."

IN MEMORIAM — "Gen. Ray Odierno, Former Army Chief and Iraq Commander, Dies at 67," by Military.com's Travis Tritten: "Retired Army Gen. Ray Odierno, who rose to be the top U.S. commander in the Iraq War more than a decade ago, has died … He was 67 years old. He died of cancer … The height of Odierno's nearly 40-year military career was serving as Army chief of staff from 2011 to 2015, but the towering New Jersey native was most known for his service in Iraq, which mirrored the entire trajectory of the war itself. Odierno helped lead the capture of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein."

Allen West was hospitalized with Covid-19 but is still sticking to his anti-vaccination message.

TRANSITION — Jake Oken-Berg is now a senior policy adviser at Summit Strategies. He previously was a senior business adviser for Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.).

WEEKEND WEDDING — Allyson Marcus, political director at American Bridge 21st Century, and Dan Weaver, technical architect at WaPo, got married Saturday night in Tilghman Island, Md. Friday night's welcome party included a traditional Maryland crab feast. Guests gathered at the Wylder Hotel for a bayside ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour with a raw bar and espresso martinis. The bride and groom danced to David Bowie's "Heroes" and guests enjoyed burgers, fries and Jell-O shots at the afterparty. Pic SPOTTED: Rep.

Revolutionary new battery could break Tesla... | 10 October

Posted: 10 Oct 2021 07:04 AM PDT

The American Crash

Below is a message from our partners that we thought you'd enjoy:

Tesla has been one of the greatest stock plays of all time.

Investors who got in immediately after its IPO could have clocked a whopping 22,817% return!

That would have turned every $500 into $114,600!

But if you missed that historic wealth-building opportunity, I have good news.

A brand-new type of battery is about to flood the markets that could dethrone Tesla forever.

That's because this battery is 10 times more powerful than Tesla's famed lithium-ion battery...

Can be fully charged in less than five minutes...

And is absolutely tiny — roughly the size of a drop of water.

But most importantly, this new battery offers the same kind of ground-floor potential as Tesla did...

Only much, much bigger.

I explain exactly why right here.

But mark my words.

I expect this battery to be rolled out en masse in just a few short months.

And once it hits the market, the tiny company that designed it could become one of the most valuable companies in the world.

So this is a rare second chance to take part in a world-shifting innovation.

And for the lucky few who get in on time, the rewards could be absolutely enormous.

Click here to see the details.

The American Rebirth

Here's an important message from one of our colleagues:

Dear Reader,

Forget Tesla….

It's the company that's been supplying this key piece of tech to Elon Musk that will shock everyone.

Most investors have never heard of this company….

But it's supplying a piece of technology that will play a key role in Elon Musk's next big project. 

This is all part of a $30 trillion megatrend.

And I'm not talking about blockchain, artificial intelligence, 5G, robotics, or the Internet of Things.

At $30 trillion, this trend is BIGGER than all of those things COMBINED!

Click here and get all the details now…

Because if Elon Musk mentions this company in a tweet, there's no telling how high shares could go.

��Beware the morning of November 2nd��

Posted: 10 Oct 2021 06:05 AM PDT

WATCH: Wall Street Insider Pounds the Table on Shocking Prediction...
EDITOR'S NOTE: WATCH: Wall Street Insider Pounds the Table on Shocking Prediction Read below to learn more!

Dear Friend,

Mask mandates, Vaccines, Delta, and a government propped stock market.

Those seem to be the subject of every talking head in the mainstream press this week…

But come the morning of November 2nd 2021 during one private government meetup...

A new headline is set to make its way towards every news station across America.

This headline will have nothing to do with inflation… interest rates… or which vaccine will be FDA "approved" next…

Instead…

It will have everything to do with a rare occurrence that has Wall Street banks and certain billionaire investors quietly betting $108.5 BILLION will happen.

In fact, It's for this reason that legendary Wall Street Insider Chris Rowe is pounding the table saying,

"Those who make the right moves now, before November 2 stand to make a lot of money… while those who stay in the dark will be left out of the greatest wealth opportunity this century"

Because of this urgent matter, Chris decided to get on camera and lay out every detail on what's really going on…

And why every American needs to be aware of the lucrative opportunity looming closer.

We've gone ahead and published Chris' shocking research on our website - right here.

I strongly encourage you to hear Chris out...

It's completely free to watch and I guarantee you've never seen anything quite like this before.

Again, here's a link to Chris' detailed research of what's to come.

All the best,

Bill Spencer
Editor-in-Chief of True Market Insiders

P.S.

During his prediction, Chris lays out the #1 step every mom and pop investor must take in order to cash in a potential fortune.

In fact, this step could be the difference between completely changing you and your family's financial future…

Or being forced to wait decades to retire.

Click here to get the full details on his latest big prediction.

Funeral March for the First Cosmonaut: Artist, Poet, and Philosopher Etel Adnan's Stunning Painted Poem About Life, Death, Loneliness, and Our Cosmic Redemption

"When you realize you are mortal," the polymathic poet, painter, journalist, novelist, and philosopher Etel Adnan (b. February 24, 1925) wrote in her sixtieth year while wresting wisdom from the mountain, "you also realize the tremendousness of the future. You fall in love with a Time you will never perceive."

These questions of space, time, morality, and transcendence, which continue to permeate Adnan's century-wide body of work and wonder, had come into formative focus two decades earlier, in one of her most original and unexampled works: a hybrid of poetry and painting — a new form Adnan christened leporello, after the Italian bookbinding term for concertina-folded leaflets — reflecting on a triumphal and tragic moment in the history of our species.

In 1961, the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin had become the first human animal — of all the hundred-some billion of us who ever lived and died — to leave the planet on which we had evolved several million years earlier. It was an era of terror and wonder — science had swung open new portals of possibility for knowing the miracle of life more intimately, and politics had hijacked science to build new weapons for destroying that miracle.

When Gagarin perished in a plane crash seven years later under mysterious circumstances, Adnan composed an eleven-part epic poem in ink and watercolor, titled Funeral March for the First Cosmonaut — at once a memorial for the new Icarus and new scripture for the human mythos of space, painted into an accordion book, exploring the largest questions of existence: life, death, loneliness, longing, creation, destruction, the relationship between the ephemeral and the eternal, our relationship to the cosmos and to each other.

Adnan's Funeral March for the First Cosmonaut on display at the Guggenheim Museum. (Photograph: Maria Popova.)

you were searching through the hands of the monkey tree
that pipeline to the sky
a light incoherent like a wave
was moving behind the clouds
and you went swimming into that distant
pool you went to be suspended there
cool as the western side of palm leaves
under the break of noon

there are potholes in the skyes
familiar to the wanderers of the sierras
moving icebergs which taste like
antimatter when physics go wild
Gagarin Scott Gherman Titov McDivitt
Komarov   the new hierarchy of archangels
bringing messages from outer space
decoding the protons and moving under
a shower of travelling electrons.

seven sunsets for a single evening
and the uninterrupted moon
growing into their eyes with the look
of mothers looking back on us from the other
side of our deaths

Seven sunrises for a cosmonaut!

Born in Beirut and educated in Paris, Adnan was then living at the foot of Mount Tamalpais in California, teaching philosophy at a local university, painting and writing poetry — the polyphonous calling through which she soon met the Lebanese-American artist Simone Fattal, now her partner of half a century, who has made the most astute observation about Adnan's paintings of rising and setting celestial bodies, horizons perched on infinity, and mountains rising toward eternity: that they do for us what icons used to do for believers, conferring upon our everyday lives a certain supranatural energy, an aura of awe at the sheer miracle of existence.

Ending of Funeral March for the First Cosmonaut on display at the Guggenheim Museum. (Photograph: Maria Popova.)

Funeral March for the First Cosmonaut is an elegy for humanity in the classic sense, a hybrid of celebration and lamentation — an elegy for us creatures forever "eating and remaining hungry," "kissing and remaining lonely," "speaking and remaining doomed"; creatures who bomb and imprison each other, but who also never cease to "struggle towards freedom, struggle toward meaning" with the fury of a song. In this respect, it is kindred to Maya Angelou's staggering poem "A Brave and Startling Truth," which voyaged into the cosmos aboard the Orion spacecraft a generation later.

Ulrike Haage with Etel Adan in Paris, 2019. (Photograph: Anton Maria Storch.)

In 2019, having just turned 94 and living in Paris with her partner, Adnan collaborated with the German composer and sound artist Ulrike Haage on adapting Funeral March for the First Cosmonaut into an experimental radio requiem — a kind of spacetime sound installation, beautiful and haunting, fusing musical elements from the classical tradition of Gagarin's native Russia and the ancient Middle Eastern tradition of Adnan's native Beirut, embodying the opening verse of the poem's third sequence:

In the beginning was the white page
In the beginning was the Sufi in orbit
In the beginning was the sword
In the beginning was the rocket
In the beginning was the dancer
In the beginning was color
In the beginning was music

Funeral March for the First Cosmonaut is the first artwork greeting the wonder-smitten visitor to Light's New Measure — the Guggenheim Museum's retrospective of Adnan's work, launched midway through her ninety-seventh year, titled after a line from her 2012 poetry collection Sea and Fog:

The heart is a stranger to patterns of matter or their distribution. In darkness, light's new measure.

Broken Tulips: How a Virus Gave the World's Most Prized Flower Its Beauty

In 1634, Rembrandt painted his wife, Saskia, as Flora — the Roman goddess of flowers and spring. One large bloom droops over her left ear from the wreath crowning her head, dwarfing the other blossoms in scale and splendor — a single tulip, its silken petals aflame with stripes of red and white.

These tulips no longer exist. Today, their closest kin are known as Rembrandts. In the painter's day, these living canvases of expressionist color transfixed the human imagination across cultures, casting a singular enchantment with their sudden and mysterious eruptions of contrasting color. Lay gardeners and professional horticulturalists all over Holland, France, and the Ottoman Empire planted tulip bulbs by the hundreds, by the thousands, hoping some would bloom in this inexplicable pattern of painterly stripes. On those rare and unbidden occasions when it happened, the tulip was said to "break."

Broken tulip by Henriette Antoinette Vincent, 1820. (Available as a print, as a face mask, and as stationery cards.)

Gardeners went to extraordinary lengths to force tulips to break, their techniques still insentient to the newborn scientific method, still resonant with the echoes of alchemy haunting the atmosphere of their time: They would plant beds of white tulips, then sprinkle over the soil pigment powders of the hue they wished to see stripe the white petals, hoping rainwater would wash the bulb with pigment and somehow imprint the flower-to-be.

Because the history of our species is the history of humans longing for control of their fortunes and other humans exploiting this longing in the absence of knowledge and critical thought — from religions imbuing with mystical meaning yet-unexplained astronomical phenomena like comets and eclipses, to internet scammers — a new trade of charlatans emerged, promising surefire recipes (some involving pigeon droppings, others powdered plaster from the walls of old houses) to make the tulips break.

But what was really at play was something no one suspected, because no one had the reference-point nodes of understanding we call knowledge. What was really at play was an epochal intersection of science and culture, the story of which Michael Pollan tells with his signature enchanting erudition in The Botany of Desire (public library). He writes:

One crucial element of the beauty of the tulip that intoxicated the Dutch, the Turks, the French, and the English has been lost to us. To them the tulip was a magic flower because it was prone to spontaneous and brilliant eruptions of color. In a planting of a hundred tulips, one of them might be so possessed, opening to reveal the white or yellow ground of its petals painted, as if by the finest brush and steadiest hand, with intricate feathers or flames of a vividly contrasting hue… If a tulip broke in a particularly striking manner — if the flames of the applied color reached clear to the petal's lip, say, and its pigment was brilliant and pure and its pattern symmetrical — the owner of that bulb had won the lottery. For the offsets of that bulb would inherit its pattern and hues and command a fantastic price. The fact that broken tulips for some unknown reason produced fewer and smaller offsets than ordinary tulips drove their prices still higher.

In an epoch when the microscope was still a novelty known to the very few and owned by the very privileged, when the discovery of submicroscopic non-bacterial pathogens was a quarter millennium away and the word ecology was two centuries from being coined, what the ardent gardeners and the ardent bulb-buyers and Rembrandt did not know was that a virus brought by another species was responsible for the rapturous breaking of the tulip; a virus the discovery of which vanquished the broken tulips and broke the spell their beauty had cast upon this ever-living, ever-dying world. Pollan explains the biomechanics behind the beauty:

The color of a tulip actually consists of two pigments working in concert — a base color that is always yellow or white and a second, laid-on color called an anthocyanin; the mix of these two hues determines the unitary color we see. The virus works by partially and irregularly suppressing the anthocyanin, thereby allowing a portion of the underlying color to show through. It wasn't until the 1920s, after the invention of the electron microscope, that scientists discovered the virus was being spread from tulip to tulip by Myzus persicae, the peach potato aphid. Peach trees were a common feature of seventeenth-century gardens.

By the 1920s the Dutch regarded their tulips as commodities to trade rather than jewels to display, and since the virus weakened the bulbs it infected (the reason the offsets of broken tulips were so small and few in number), Dutch growers set about ridding their fields of the infection. Color breaks, when they did occur, were promptly destroyed, and a certain peculiar manifestation of natural beauty abruptly lost its claim on human affection.

Every time I think of the story of the broken tulip, I think of Richard Feynman's Ode to a Flower.

Couple this fragment of Pollan's altogether enchanting The Botany of Desire with Emily Dickinson and the nonbinary botany of flowers, then revisit Sylvia Plath's almost unbearably beautiful poem "Tulips."

MLK's Lost Lectures on Technology, Alienation, Activism, and the Three Ways of Resisting the System

"There is nothing quite so tragic as a young cynic," Maya Angelou observed in her finest interview, "because it means the person has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing."

A decade earlier, in his 1967 Massey Lectures, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929–April 4, 1968) examined the forces that dispirit the young into cynicism — that most puerile form of impatience — by mapping the three primary regions of reaction and resistance in the landscape of social change.

Launched in 1961 by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and named after Vincent Massey — the first Canadian-born person to serve as governor general of Canada, who had spearheaded a royal commission for Canadian arts, letters, and sciences, producing the landmark Massey Report that led to the establishment of the National Library of Canada — the annual Massey Lectures invited a prominent scholar to deliver five half-hour talks along the vector of their passion and purpose, which were then broadcast on public radio each Thursday evening. Eventually, the CBC began publishing the lectures in book form. But some of the earliest ones, including the five Dr. King delivered in the final months of his life, remained unprinted for decades, until they were finally released in 2007 as The Lost Massey Lectures: Recovered Classics from Five Great Thinkers (public library).

Martin Luther King, Jr., 1964 (Photograph by Dick DeMarsico. Library of Congress.)

In his third lecture, titled "Youth and Social Action," Dr. King presents a taxonomy of the three types of people into which the era's youth had been "splintered" — his own superb word-choice — by the era's social forces.

More than half a century hence, it is a useful exercise, temporally sobering and culturally calibrating, to consider what the equivalents of these archetypes might be in our present time, in our present language. Our language might have changed dramatically — Dr. King was writing in the epoch before the invention of women, when "man" denoted all of humanity; an epoch when the acronym BIPOC would have drawn a blank stare at best and "Negro" was his term of choice — but we are still living with the underlying complexities which language always seeks to clarify and contain. The social forces splintering the present generation of youth have changed, and they have not changed — an eternal echo of Zadie Smith's observation that "progress is never permanent, will always be threatened, must be redoubled, restated and reimagined if it is to survive."

With the caveat that the three principal groups sometimes overlap, Dr. King describes the first:

The largest group of young people is struggling to adapt itself to the prevailing values of society. Without much enthusiasm, they accept the system of government, the economic relations, the property system, and the social stratifications both engender. But even so, they are a profoundly troubled group, and are harsh critics of the status quo.

It is easy to picture the young of our own time, roiling with the same restless ambivalence, the same resentful submission to the system, perched on their standing desks across the glassy campuses of Google and Facebook, drinking corporate kombucha on tap while composing impassioned tweets against police brutality, homophobia, and climate change, tender with the terror of being a person in the world, a budding person in a world that feels too immense and immovable. Dr. King captures this ambivalence with his characteristic compassionate curiosity:

In this largest group, social attitudes are not congealed or determined; they are fluid and searching.

Illustration from How to Be a Nonconformist — a high school girl's 1968 satire of conformity-culture.

He contrasts the first group with the second — those in outright and outspoken rejection of the status quo:

The radicals… range from moderate to extreme in the degree to which they want to alter the social system. All of them agree that only by structural change can current evils be eliminated, because the roots are in the system rather than in men or in faulty operation. These are a new breed of radicals.

This claim of novelty is somewhat ahistorical, or perhaps too narrowly American, for Dr. King's perceptive description of that generation's spirit is an equally apt description of the spirit of the generation that fueled the French Revolution two centuries earlier, an ocean apart. He sketches the radicals of the 1960s:

Very few adhere to any established ideology; some borrow from old doctrines of revolution; but practically all of them suspend judgment on what the form of a new society must be. They are in serious revolt against old values and have not yet concretely formulated the new ones. They are not repeating previous revolutionary doctrines; most of them have not even read the revolutionary classics. Ironically, their rebelliousness comes from having been frustrated in seeking change within the framework of the existing society. They tried to build racial equality, and met tenacious and vivacious opposition. They worked to end the Vietnam War, and experienced futility. So they seek a fresh start with new rules in a new order.

In a sentiment that fully captures today's social media — that ever-protruding, ever-teetering platform for standing against rather than for things, a place increasingly unsatisfying and increasingly evocative of Bertrand Russell's century-old observation that "construction and destruction alike satisfy the will to power, but construction is more difficult as a rule, and therefore gives more satisfaction to the person who can achieve it" — Dr. King adds of these so-called radicals:

It is fair to say, though, that at present they know what they don't want rather than what they do want.

Art by Ben Shahn from On Nonconformity, 1956.

Identifying the third group as the era's "hippies" — a group the contemporary equivalent of which is especially interesting to identify and locate in our present generational landscape — he writes:

The hippies are not only colorful but complex; and in many respects their extreme conduct illuminates the negative effect of society's evils on sensitive young people. While there are variations, those who identify with this group have a common philosophy.

They are struggling to disengage from society as their expression of their rejection of it. They disavow responsibility to organized society. Unlike the radicals, they are not seeking change, but flight. When occasionally they merge with a peace demonstration, it is not to better the political world, but to give expression to their own world. The hard-core hippy is a remarkable contradiction. He uses drugs to turn inward, away from reality, to find peace and security. Yet he advocates love as the highest human value — love, which can exist only in communication between people, and not in the total isolation of the individual.

Art by Corinna Luyken from The Tree in Me.

In an especially insightful comment that applies to so many fleeting but vital and vitalizing movements across the sweep of history, he adds:

The importance of the hippies is not in their unconventional behavior, but in the fact that some hundreds of thousands of young people, in turning to a flight form reality, are expressing a profoundly discrediting judgment on the society they emerge from.

He proffers a prediction substantiated by history, contouring the possible future of some of our own social movements when they have become another era's past:

It seems to me that hippies will not last long as a mass group. They cannot survive because there is no solution in escape. Some of them may persist by solidifying into a secular religious sect: their movement already has many such characteristics. We might see some of them establish utopian colonies, like the 17th and 18th century communities established by sects that profoundly opposed the existing order and its values. Those communities did not survive. But they were important to their contemporaries because their dream of social justice and human value continues as a dream of mankind.

Art by Nahid Kazemi from Over the Rooftops, Under the Moon by JonArno Lawson.

The most interesting challenge of applying Dr. King's taxonomy to our own time is that of seeing beyond the surface expressions that shimmer with the illusion of contrast, peering into the deeper similitudes between the attitudes of the past and those of the present. Escapism doesn't always look like escapism — escapism can masquerade as pseudo-engagement. A generation's drug of choice might be a psychoactive molecule, or it might be an intoxicating self-righteousness masquerading as wakefulness to difference. Technology might give the illusion of participatory action in democracy while effecting alienation at the deepest stratum of the soul — something especially true of the vast majority of pseudo-political uses of our so-called social media. Dr. King writes:

Nothing in our glittering technology can raise man to new heights, because material grown has been made an end in itself, and, in the absence of moral purpose, man himself becomes smaller as the works of man become bigger.

Another distortion of the technological revolution is that instead of strengthening democracy… it has helped to eviscerate it. Gargantuan industry and government, woven into an intricate computerized mechanism, leaves the person outside… When an individual is no longer a true participant, when he no longer feels a sense of responsibility to his society, the content of democracy is emptied. When culture is degraded and vulgarity enthroned, when the social system does not build security but induces peril, inexorably the individual is impelled to pull away from a soulless society. This process produces alienation — perhaps the most pervasive and insidious development in contemporary society… Alienation should be foreign to the young. Growth requires connection and trust. Alienation is a form of living death. It is the acid of despair that dissolves society.

In consonance with the animating spirit of this here labor of love, he insists upon the importance of mining the collective record of experience we call history "for positive ingredients which have been there, but in relative obscurity." Echoing Whitman's gentle long-ago exhortation that "the past, the future, majesty, love — if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them," Dr. King adds:

Against the exaltation of technology, there has always been a force struggling to respect higher values. None of the current evils rose without resistance, nor have they persisted without opposition.

Complement with Seamus Heaney's vivifying advice to the young, Kierkegaard on nonconformity and the power of the minority, and Richard Powers's antidote to cynicisms, then revisit Dr. King on the six pillars of resistance to the status quo.

Hey There,

There's one fascinating trend from the recent job numbers that we should watch closely.

It's not enough to figure out how many jobs we gained or lost.

You need to pay attention to where we gained jobs.

And in this case, that could give you an interesting insight to stocks that might move in the future.

Check this out.

Look at this graph of where we gained and lost jobs over the last month:
The large job loss in government jobs has a lot to do with public school teachers, sadly, as some districts are not reopening.

But look at the top of the chart:

Leisure and hospitality gained huge numbers of employees!

That is important for traders: it's a great sign for the overall health of travel and leisure stocks.

I've talked about one of my favorite leisure stocks, which is DKNG, recently.

But travel stocks are ones you should pay close attention to as well.

These include airlines, hotels, maybe even companies like AirBNB.

Of course, this job growth coincides with the end of the peak travel season.

But my guess is after the last year, people will take any excuse to travel, no matter the season.

Anyway, just wanted to point out this trend in case it became something we could trade!

Happy trading,

Markay

Hey Friend it's Tom again,


Yesterday I hosted my Hidden Breakout Event.

If you still haven't watched it, or need a refresher… then please Go Here To Be Taken To A Limited Time Replay.

You're going to want to turn off all distractions and pay close attention.

Because in this event I shared a setup that almost no one knows about.

I call it the High Noon Trade.

Those of us that know about this High Noon Trade, are able to consistently book profits week after week.


Take a look at some of the trades I personally took with this.

  • ADBE made 90% in One Day
  • AMZN made 56% in Two Days
  • DIA made 61% in Four Days
  • AAPL made 44% in Three Days
  • TLT made 67% in One Day
  • QQQ made 24% in Three Days
  • CME made 57% in One Day
  • AMZN made 87% in Three Days
  • GOOG made 110% in One Day


Imagine what being able to make these kinds of returns, in a matter of just days, and on a consistent basis could do for your life…

Would it help you pay the mortgage...or the car… or even eat at your favorite restaurants more often?

In any case there's no denying that these kinds of returns could make a positive impact.

That's why I want to help you start placing these same trades in as little as 20 minutes every week.

If that interests you, then you need to join and start receiving the High Noon Profit Alerts while you still can.
