Many of Biden’s economic advisors are from Blackrock. They’ll own everything, You’ll own nothing and be happy!

They've abandoned the "be happy!" part. We're down to "You'll own nothing."

they’re current message is that your life needs to be neither meaningful or happy.

We all need to stop pretending this is incompetence. This is by design and with purpose which makes this so much more scary.

Which is weird in itself, cause much of what they're playing with is OUR money. We shouldn't let clowns like Larry Fink 'force behaviors' in us using OUR money. Perhaps it's time we claim it back...especially if they're just gonna use it to build back redder!

First easy step is stop banking w FED thieves.. Citi, BoA, Chase, Wells Fargo, HSBC all perpetual money laundering, consumer fraud thieves.. find a local credit union or rare community bank and see the local benefits. https://www.peoplefirsteconomy.org/move-your-money/

Can't like for some reason but yes I agree 💯 let's take back our money. They had their chance and it's not working! Break away from the Federal Reserve and let's really start building a better America!

Actually, the problem is it is not our money, it’s not anyone’s money, it has been produced out of thin air and consequently is backed by no value.

Consider barter: A produces something B wants and B produces something A wants. They swap, each gets something they value more than what they swapped, both are wealthier. Wealth is created in the exchange and flows reciprocally.

But Barter is inflexible because A might not have what B wants or B has enough of it, so by using money as a means of exchange, B can get something from A, and A can get something from someone else later. Both then swap something, both get something, both are wealthier, wealth flows between the two. Money, not in itself of any value, but stores potential wealth as it can be exchanged for something of value.

But the start point for money is it is created by producing something of value which backs it and can be used to make someone wealthier.

All money then is backed by something and this gives it its value.

Except… enter Government which has a monopoly on currency, and doesn’t have to produce anything of value to create money - it just creates it out of nothing, thin air so it is backed by nothing and has no value.

People get this valueless money via ‘stimulus’, quantitive easing, subsidy, welfare, etc, and buy goods. They hand over nothing and get something in return, producers hand over something and get nothing in return.

Wealth now flows from producers (who get poorer) to the people with the money who get richer.

Thin-air-money pumped into the economy produces a mis-match between the amount of money in circulation and the goods backing it. Only part of that money is actually the result of productive activity. This dilutes the overall value of the money in circulation - each unit is worth less than before.

When there is more money to buy goods than goods available to be bought, then prices go up = inflation. Anyone who shops can understand that. If weather has been bad and the strawberry crop is poor, fewer strawberries are on sale in the stores and prices are higher than last year when there was a bumper crop and tons of strawberries at low prices.

So prices do not cause inflation they are its result, just as higher strawberry prices do not cause bad weather and poor harvest. Too much money chasing too few goods.

And increasing output of goods - which evidently has physical limits - is not the solution, because those goods will not be creating money, still they will be bought by funny-money of no value. And that funny-money is all the way through the productive process pushing prices up, compounding the effect for ever higher end-user prices.

Solution? Start taking money out of circulation. Usually done by monetary policy, don’t replace spoiled bank notes, bank rate being increased above level of inflation, and fiscal policy - reduced Government spending higher taxes.

Tough, but the alternative is economic collapse. Of course if that’s the aim…

Largely correct. But there's are uses for a credit (and equivalent, debt) economy. Done within limits, it can increase the overall efficiency and prosperity. Alas, as with any human institution, the system can be (and usually is) hijacked for the gain of a few at the expense of the rest. In a "real" credit economy, the debts would be paid down. In our present world, the debt is ever-escalating. In principle, it is unlikely to ever be paid off, at least not in money that's worth anything. History recounts several such disasters. However, there is no historical precedent for the scale of our current make-believe money world economy.

I think so too. He's riveting here, calling out gov't liars who said the Disinformation Governance Board was not in process since 2021. According to the leaked documents, just QUESTIONING mask efficacy, 'rona origins, and jab safety makes one a 'domestic extremist.'

Sen Ted Cruz co-signed the letter with Sen Ron Johnson to the FDA questioning COVID-19 vaccines for children.

Expand full comment

Seems too little, too late for me with Cruz.

Expand full comment

He is a politician and it takes a lot to go against big pharma. As the number of deaths/disabilities caused by the COVID shots grow (i.e. Sudden Adult Death Syndrome), more people will pressure their elected representatives to take action. At some point a tipping point will be reached.

"I was just doing my job" doesn't cut it at that level. He are 1.5 years in on vaccines. Years, not months.

As for the pressure, vote them all out. A handful stood against medical tyranny. The rest can go rot in prison for killing kids.

Voting won't change the system. The rot is too deep; the nation too far gone.

I guess we’re about to find out if the combination of an ignorant population kept perpetually infantilized with electronic toys, a shockingly corrupt political and business class, a debt-based Ponzi scam of a monetary system, and a grotesquely oversized and incompetent central government are a sustainable recipe for national prosperity.

it is called modern monetary theory: they thought they could print money forever.... and not make anything in the usa!

unfortunately, for the destroyers, the people that do things consider milton friedman and the observation: inflation is always and everytime a monetary miscalculation.

the federal reserve was doing modern monetary theory, and saw the light a year too late.

good thing build back better was not passed or there would be another $6 trillion in printing!

What if their subconscious intention is destruction?

Expand full comment

I'm pretty sure it's conscious intention.

Expand full comment

There's no way. That would mean there's some master evil playbook they're all following and keeping secret. It has to be some subconscious collectivist ideological instinct, which we have no understanding of. In cases like this, you can't appeal to personal experience. You can't rummage through your own basket of vices and find the one that applies. You have to imagine what someone else might be feeling based on their actions. The hard part is considering that they might be sensing a legit problem, but since it's in the subconscious, they don't really understand it themselves.

Whatever you say... It's done on purpose. How do you think the public will be made to accept cbdcs? Even the idiots that think nothing weird has happened in the last 2 years and who are living and partying like it's 2019 won't be that keen on accepting cbdcs unless they have no choice. Ruin everyone except the very rich and the public will bend over and accept whatever the psychopaths have in mind.

The CBDC is sort of a red herring, in my opinion. Just what would it usher in? Government payments systems? We already have EBT, direct deposit and other programs. Government surveillance over your purchases? This already exists too (except when cash is used). Even if the government tried to mandate all commerce (payment) via its system, it is likely that the underground economy would still exist.

I'm not excusing anything. They consciously did what they did and deserve full condemnation. I guess my point is they appear to be under psychological duress for some reason, the reason for which I've theorized on these boards. We have to live with these people, and I would think discovering the reason for their distress might be a prudent strategy for avoiding future insanity. Maybe their distress is warranted, only they're feeling it and we're not.
