If
you think everything in America is just fine…So how ready are you, really, if we're
indeed headed into another 2008-style market crash?
And the people “behind the curtain” of our financial and
political system care about you and your money…
This might not be for you.
Here are some updates on
how the pirates are ruining our political and economic system…keep in mind,
this applies to both sides of the aisle.
The Democrats, for instance, are planning to go beyond their usual
scourge in the event Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh gets the nod by impeaching
him once he’s appointed. Their dark
goals will not be satisfied in their effort to thwart the President and the GOP
no matter how much damage it does to the nation…
The
fiscal year of the federal government goes from October 1st to September
30th. During the fiscal year that just ended, the U.S. national debt
increased by
1.271 trillion dollars…
The
federal debt increased by $1,271,158,167,126.72 in fiscal 2018, according to data
released today by the Treasury.
The
total federal debt started the fiscal year at $20,244,900,016,053.51
according to the Treasury, and finished the fiscal year at
$21,516,058,183,180.23.
Famed
investor Howard Investor sent out a memo…
The Seven Worst Words in the World, came out last week. And those seven words are
– “too much money chasing too few deals.”
Everything points to
another major correction coming soon…
Ray Dalio, founder of
Bridgewater, the world’s largest hedge fund, says we’ll see a recession by
2020. He even wrote a book called A Template for Understanding BIG DEBT CRISES,
which he’s giving away for free.
These
days, there is a lot of discussion about the political gains that “Democratic
socialists” have been making all over America, and Republicans are trying to
assure us that the American people don’t actually want socialism.
But
you know what?
We
have already gone most of the way down the road toward socialism. I think
that Ron Paul made this point very well in his most
recent article…
We
know socialism does not work. It is an economic system based on the use of
force rather than economic freedom of choice. But while many Americans seem to
be in a panic over the failures of socialism in Venezuela, they don’t seem all
that concerned that right here at home President Trump just signed a massive $1.3 trillion dollar spending bill
that delivers socialism on a scale that Venezuelans couldn’t even imagine.
In fact this one spending bill is three times Venezuela’s entire gross domestic
product!
Did
I miss all the Americans protesting this warfare-welfare state socialism?
People
must be psychologically conditioned to trade freedom for the illusion of
safety. Sometimes this takes generations. Every attempt at a totalitarian
framework inevitably elicits a rebellion. Therefore, the most successful
tyranny would be one that the public demands.
They have to think it is their idea, otherwise they will eventually fight it.
Globalist
financiers and power addicts need something more than mere military might or
bureaucratic force to obtain their ideal slave society. They need 4th
Generation warfare tactics. They need to con the masses into loving their own
servitude.
There
are two tools that make this outcome possible: The first is controlled economic
decline, the second is the integration of a technological gulag into every
aspect of public life.
Economic weapons of mass distraction
It
is no coincidence that dictatorial governments gain prominence as the global
economy suffers; it is extremely difficult for people to remain vigilant to
tyranny when they are completely distracted by their own survival. This is why
my focus as an analyst has always been primarily on economics and solutions to
fiscal disaster. If the public can be prepped to develop their own alternative
economic systems before a crisis occurs, then they will be less distracted by
the chaos and more apt to notice when the globalists offer tyranny as a
fix-all.
Without
alternative markets at the local level there is no redundancy, no protection
from a crash. With most people dependent on the existing system for their
livelihoods, the economy becomes a very useful weapon for the globalists.
Holding
the economy hostage creates numerous advantages. Through deflationary pressure
wages can be kept low while higher paying jobs disappear. Manufacturing can be
phased out or outsourced overseas, as in the U.S. Small business ownership becomes
difficult as taxes generally rise as financial conditions decline.
Through
inflationary or stagflationary pressures, low wages and the inadequate job
market are combined with exploding prices. This makes survival for many people
untenable without government aid.
In
this environment, the working public becomes reliant on the service sector,
which provides no useful skill sets. Soon, you have entire generations of
people with no production abilities whatsoever. They become drones working in
meaningless office and retail jobs squandering away their days knowing that
they are accomplishing nothing beyond a meager paycheck.
The
lack of a greater purpose or mission in life and the nagging realization that
the average person has no productive capacity creates a palpable atmosphere of
desperation. They do not own their own work, and they have nothing much to show
for their labor; nothing to point at and say, "I built that." The
public gets to the point that they may even welcome an economic collapse simply
to escape the drudgery.
This
is where movements to support totalitarianism come from — the subset of
citizens that are fed up with fighting against the economy and have no sense of
independence. These people do not know how to solve their own problems, they are
always looking for someone else to do it for them. The globalists are happy to
suggest their own predetermined solutions to the public once the financial
structure hits a point of maximum pain.
However,
once the economy is repaired in exchange for the submission of the citizenry,
people might still decide one day that the trade was unfair. Thus, a deterrent
is needed to keep them in line.
The technological fish tank
It
is important to understand that there is no major country in the western oreastern world that is not
building a digital control grid, and this helps to support my position that
eastern nations are just as subservient to globalist demands as western
nations. All the geopolitical drama surrounding events like the trade war, the
Syrian war or various elections, etc.; none of this matters. When determining
if the strings of a particular government are being pulled by the globalist
cabal, all you have to do is look at how quickly they are implementing
oppressive systems that serve globalist interests.
For
example, India's government has been hitting in the news feeds lately as their
supreme court recently ruled that the controversial Aadhaar biometric program
is legal. In a nation of around 1.3 billion people, around 1 billion have
already been biometrically profiled in a
national database.
This data can include fingerprints, iris scans and face scans.
I
have heard it argued that India is a rather odd place to experiment with such a
database, considering 60 percent of the population is under the poverty line
and most people barely have basic amenities. But I would point out that this is
why it is a perfect place
for the globalists to start cataloging the world population on larger scale.
Again,
financial desperation and a lack of productions skills tends to produce
subservience. Hundreds of millions of poverty stricken people in India's
sprawling urban sewers are voluntarily giving up their biometric data in
exchange for government aid programs.
For
the people not anchored down by the poor economy, India has instituted other
measures, including requiring anyone accessing government services, opening a
bank account or signing up for a mobile phone service also give up their
biometrics to the government.
In
other nations not yet impoverished at India's level, more subversive measures
have been instituted for surveillance of the population. Data is simply taken
rather than traded.
In
Russia, Vladimir Putin has put the Yarovaya laws he signed in 2016 into effect.
All digital data from phone conversations to emails is now recorded and stored
by telecoms for government access for a minimum of six months, this includes
Facebook and Twitter posts. The 2014 bloggers law also requires any blogger
with over 3,000 followers be put on government file and they cannot remain
anonymous. Any business operating a public Wi-Fi network is required by law to
identify users by ID, which is also stored for at least six months.
Russia's
FISA-style surveillance grid is vast, yet, many people in the liberty movement
seem to ignore this reality with misplaced Putin-worship. As I have noted in
numerous articles, Russia is heavily influenced by international financiers.
Goldman
Sachs is one of the largest investment banks in the country. Their central bank
works closely with the IMF and the BIS. The Kremlin has in the past called for
a global currency controlled by the IMF. And Putin even admits in his own
biography First Person that
he has been friends with New World Order salesman Henry Kissinger since before
he became president of Russia. In a latest show of how globalist Russia really
is, the Russian Foreign Minister
recently criticized the U.S. in
a speech to the U.N. general assembly over its "attacks" on the
"international order," including undermining the World Trade
Organization and global climate change agreements. Putin expressed similar
sentiments to the U.N. about a year ago.
It
should come as no surprise to anyone that Russia is playing right along with
globalist efforts to identify and track every single living person. It should
also come as no surprise that Donald Trump, surrounded by globalists within his
own cabinet, is continuing and expanding FISA surveillance under his
administration.
At
the beginning of 2018 Trump signed a bill renewing the National Security
Agency's warrantless FISA mass surveillance of the American population. Leading
Democrats happily supported the action. Despite all of Trump's rhetoric against
FISA recently, it was Trump that made FISA's continuation possible.
But
where is this all going? How does the combination of poverty and digital
surveillance translate to tyranny? I believe China's "social credit"
program is the answer. China is representative of the end game for the
globalist ideal for civilization. With mass economic struggle leading to dependency
on government welfare programs and employment opportunities, no citizen can
afford to be "blacklisted." China's social credit system creates an
environment in which any and every action on the part of citizens is tracked
and then "rated" for acceptance or consequence. This includes how
people express attitudes toward the government itself. Obviously, this is the
ultimate control mechanism, very similar to the Checka of Stalinist Russia, but
on a massive digital scale.
This
is why surveillance is evil, regardless of whether someone is breaking the laws
or not. It gives government the power to dictate behavior by inspiring
self-censorship. Individuals do not dare do anything outside of collective
norms for fear that it could be interpreted as socially negative. Punishment
might include loss of access to the economy itself, and when most people are
living from paycheck to paycheck, this could mean death.
Are
temporary tattoos the future of wearable technology?
Unlike
many young Americans, I dislike excessive tattoos-I was brought up in an era
where they were either gang/prison related, sideshow freaks or merchant
marines. However, there might be some
use for them after all:

Interesting Trends
He says the average American has 3 credit cards with a combined
balance of $6,000.
And the trend is not going in a positive direction.
“A recent survey conducted this year said that when you look at the number of consumers who report being debt-free, it’s actually dropped from 27 to 23 percent.”

More worrying, perhaps: 33% of those surveyed said they think that
dream is disappearing. Why? They have too much debt. “Americans believe
financial security is at the core of the American Dream, but it is alarming
that so many think it is beyond their reach,” said Mike Fanning, head of
MassMutual U.S.
Among the generations, older millennials (ages 28 to 37) are most
likely to say they lose sleep because they are worried about something, with 77
percent experiencing this problem. Most older millennials, 49 percent, are
worried about their relationships, with money concerns coming in second at 43
percent. However, this age group is the most likely to be stressed about money,
followed by Generation Xers (ages 38 to 53) at 41 percent.
The pay gap has risen dramatically, with some fluctuations, since
the 1990s. In 1965 the ratio of CEO to worker pay was 20 to one; that figure
had risen to 58 to one by in 1989 and peaked in 2000 when CEOs earned 344 times
the wage of their average worker.
