R.I.P. Daniel Hopsicker
Over many years, it was Mr. Emory’s privilege and honor to have interviewed Daniel Hopsicker frequently and at length. In the wake of his passing from cancer on 8/22/2023 at the age of 72, we mourn the loss of this professional, and yet can be very glad for his having shared his work with us.

Heads We Win, Tails You Lose Your Retirement: Private Equity, Pension Funds, and the CRE Double Down
There’s blood in the water. With regional banks potentially looking at years of trouble ahead and interest rates well above the historic lows, distress is permeating the US commercial real estate (CRE) markets. That’s been the CRE news, with the private equity now palpably excited about all the distressed real estate that’s bound to come on the market. A supply and demand dislocation that can turn blood in water into a gold laced silver lining for the entities with cash on the sidelines. As we’ve seen, being the ‘cash on the sidelines’ opportunistically waiting for things to fall apart or blow is a big part of the ‘Heads we win, tails you lose’ private equity business model. A business model also rooted in the fact that the fund managers charge high fees whether they’re investments pan out or not. So we shouldn’t be surprised to learn that one of the big investment opportunities private equity has been steering billions of dollars of public pension money into in recent years is...*drumroll*...commercial real estate! With plans on shoveling billions more into the sector going forward. JP Morgan is now predicting these pension funds are going to create a ‘floor’ in the CRE markets. Yes, private equity-led pension funds are going to save the CRE market from complete collapse. At least that’s the plan. A plan that’s going to pay its private equity managers handsomely no matter how it pans out. It’s all part of how American’s growing retirement crisis is translating into private equity’s growing opportunity. The kind of crisis-driven opportunity that pays handsomely whether the underlying crisis grows or not.

Grateful, Tearful Farewell to Roy of Hollywood: Rest In Peace, My Brother
Since 1987, For The Record and the other Archive Shows and lectures I have recorded over the decades have gone out on the Southern California airwaves from Santa Barbara to the Mexican Border. Those broadcasts were realized by Roy of Hollywood, real name Roy Tuckman. His long-running program has held down the midnight to 5am slot on Monday through Thursday nights (technically Tuesday through Friday mornings) for more than 40 years. Early on Thursday morning (4/20/2023), Roy passed away roughly two months short of what would have been his 85th birthday. Dr. Jeffrey Sachs “pretty convinced” Covid came from a U.S. Bio-Lab.

Murdering History: Franz Halder’s Post-Reich Career
General Franz Halder has played a decisive role in the Nazification of America, working for the Pentagon, along with hundreds of other Third Reich alumni to rewrite the history of the Second World War. “. . . . Halder’s job was to rehabilitate Nazism for the benefit of his new American patrons. If the Nazis could be ideologically separated from the German people and the German Army, America could use the most useful of Hitler’s soldiers in their war against the Soviet Union without raising suspicion. Halder oversaw a team of 700 former Wehrmacht officers and intentionally set about rewriting history to present the image of a clean Wehrmacht and a German people ignorant of Nazi brutality. His deputy was CIA agent Adolf Heusinger, a Nazi war criminal who was largely responsible for planning the endless massacres of ‘security warfare,’ and was later a commander of both the German Army and NATO. . . . From 1955 to 1991 his works were cited at least 700 times in academic publications, especially by professors and researchers in Western military academies. Since Western historians were forced to drink from Halder’s well, they passed down the poison to their students, and from there the lies worked their way into the public consciousness. Eventually, Nazi propaganda was laundered into ‘truth’ through simple repetition and careful control of sources. . . . .” Dr. Jeffrey Sachs “pretty convinced” Covid came from a U.S. Bio-Lab.
