The Bernie Sanders Plan to Screw America

Rape of America & Few Seem to Notice...

Last year we slept through yet another election. Sure, a few got out and voted, almost 67 percent of those of voting age. Some of them voted, reluctantly, along with a ready pool of illegal and non-existent voters rounded up by community organizing groups, for the man who hid in his basement for many months and said nothing. A few voted for the incumbent, who said a lot, and often.

Dumbed down by government schools, pop culture and a sycophantic media, fed up with the flailings of the administration, driven by emotion and enticed by promises of "free" instead of freedom, they bought the lie that is Joe Biden. Then they smiled, turned over and went back to sleep.

Now it is summer, and some people are waking up to find the robbers, thieves and liars getting too comfortable in our digs, helping themselves to our comfy chair, warm bed and our snacks and looking for even more ways to steal from us and give to themselves – and the other non-producers.

When confronted they always show their arrogance. Emboldened by huge infusions of cash from the Corptocracy known as the U.S. Federal Government, they dismiss us as irrelevant. They now lord over us rather than work for us as they live their easy life being and further ram their Socialist agenda through very quickly, seeking to turn America into a European-style Socialist Democracy.

Sliding in

As Freebeacon.com points out, "Democrats are not trying to hide the fact ... Sen. Ed Markey (Mass.) said on Tuesday that 'the Green New Deal is in the DNA' of the Democrats' $3.5 trillion spending plan. Markey could have accurately stated that most of the Bernie Sanders campaign platform is in the budget's DNA. Whether it's lowering the Medicare eligibility age, offering universal Pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds, or providing widespread 'debt relief,' it's hard to see how things would be dramatically different if Sanders occupied the Oval Office himself."

Where is the party in opposition that has not decried its opponents in power as Communists, if not at least Socialists? It is not being heard from because it is compliant.

Let me again give you just a few planks of communism. They show that America is more a socialist and communistic than republican in form of government:

Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. (Private property rights are almost nonexistent today. You don't own your property if it can be confiscated for non-payment of tribute to the king, or if a government agency like the Environmental Protection Agency can arbitrarily tell you what you can and can't do with it. Landlords are now not allowed to evict anyone because of non-payment. We own nothing.)
A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. (Accomplished via the American tax system. Enforced via the Gestapo-like Internal Revenue Service and soon to be expanded by our new $6 trillion in spending.)
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. (Accomplished via rendition and drug laws allowing law enforcement to confiscate property if it is suspected of being used in the trade or manufacture of drugs — often without evidence.)
Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. (Accomplished via the Federal Reserve, which is not Federal and doesn't hold "reserves.")
Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. (Accomplished via the Federal Communications Commission and the regulated airline industry, Amtrak, public transportation and the regulated auto industry. Further attempts being made to seize more power through control of the Internet.)
Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country. (In progress via Big Agra conglomerates, and Agenda 21, "sustainable development" communities, etc.)
Free education for all children in public schools. (Accomplished via the public indoctrination system called public education under the control of the Federal government and soon to be furthered by "forgiving" student loans.)

These planks are supported by both major political parties. Why? Because politics in America is not a party system. It is instead a repetitive and insulting process of pacifying the national will with the illusion of freedom and political choices.

The nature of government is to perpetually grow, and the nature of politics and politicians is for wealth and power. They represent government, not you.

Governments and politicians mask their agendas and create illusions to deceive and misrepresent. They look upon the public as a herd that should be deceived and led for the benefit of government and the elite.

The answer for us is to inquire into government morality, the nature of which is universalism.

In the vision of utopian universalism, there are no races, colors, creeds nor standards of excellence. Sound familiar?

Universalism organizes around and goes forward under similar ideologies ranging from humanitarianism to egalitarianism. These politico-religious ideologies are akin in their humanist depiction of men as victims of history, victims of other men and victims of God and in the belief in human progress or works as necessary to salvation. Universalism incorporates Islam, Judaism and all brotherhood religions in the religious sphere.

Universalism is socialism, communism and democracy in the political sphere. Universalism trumpets perfect freedom while resulting in total slavery. In the United States, universalism has led to the state of affairs we find ourselves in.

Getting out

The key question then becomes, "How do people come to accept universalism?" One of the means is by secular, civic glory. That is, public sporting and political events take on a religious fervor, much as they did in the French and Russian communist revolutions.

Politics is not personal. Yet what conversation can one now have with someone who "believes" differently with regard to politics? Politics has become our personal belief system, replacing God altogether. The constant onslaught of humanistic and perverse propaganda disguised as entertainment furthers the universalist slide. Our senses are so dulled that we no longer have an imperative to inquire. There is no distinction in our minds that our individual and personal identity is different or should be different from the crowd.

Inquiry is more than a curious mind. It is a disturbance of thought when values and inalienable rights are challenged and violated. This disturbance welled up recently and was called "The Tea Party" which has since been quashed.

Yet, still, we must awaken, and continue to inquire and disrupt. What could be more degrading and insulting to our being than to imagine that we are free and never inquire? Then we will have allowed government mysticism to create an illusion of freedom that we have accepted as the real thing.

As you know, Joe Biden made just about every wrong call that it was possible to make with the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

However, there is one decision that stands above all the others that should get the president impeached. It was this decision that will likely leave thousands of Americans and allies stranded as the Taliban assumes control of the country.

Here’s what you need to know.

Making America vanish in ten or more steps

· Brainwash kids to embrace socialism and to hate America. This is what Mao, Hitler, Lenin, Pol Pot, Castro & other despots have done throughout history. Our Marxists use the BS 1619 Project & CRT false narratives to corrupt the innocent.

· Infiltrate and corrupt churches [or close them down]

· Get Wall Street suck-ups and billionaires to fund your Anti-Freedom/ America programs [Soros, Bloomberg, Zuckerberg, etc]

· Get your media allies to sew fear and division [using the ‘everything is racist BS platform]

· Take over media & use brainwashed, lying non-jopurnalists to funnel mis-information to a gullible public

· Take over law schools & instill the favored doctrine of ‘If you can’t legislate, litigate’ strategy [ever wonder why America is the only nation that doesn’t have Tort Reform? Lawyers are the largest donors to Dems]

· Normalize violence under the pretext of ‘peaceful protests’ even though Marxist thugs BLM & Antifa killed 25 & did $1 billion in damage-our DOJ has been AWOL on prosecution of these animals.

· Take over schools & colleges with socialist profs & convert students into warped anti-American radical terrorists.

· Prevent freedom of speech using Cancel Culture crap

· Make as many people dependent on government largess, discourage small business by over paying unemployment benefits [& welfare benefits]

· Bring in tens of thousands of illegal aliens each month that taxpayers are forced to fund [welfare, free medical, free schools, free housing, etc.] so they compete for jobs and have little education – most often not assimilating into US culture.

· Ban certain words and/or try to rewrite history [tear any statues lately]

· Vilify debate, freedom of expression or traditional thinking and values

How to live through economic meltdown

Financially, it seems as if the end is near. Economic Armageddon is upon us, as the Federal government lubricates the moving parts on the printing presses and new money begins to fly out.

In his special report, Shadow Government Statistics: Analysis Behind and Beyond Government Economic Reporting, John Williams wrote,

The U.S. economy is in an intensifying inflationary recession that eventually will evolve into a hyperinflationary great depression. Hyperinflation could be experienced as early as 2010, if not before, and likely no more than a decade down the road. The U.S. government and Federal Reserve already have committed the system to this course through the easy politics of a bottomless pocketbook, the servicing of big-money special interests, and gross mismanagement.

It is now a decade down the road, and this was written before the U.S. Congress passed and President Barack Obama and subsequently Donald Trump and now Joe Biden signed their multi-trillion-dollar economic stimulus bills into effect.

The amount of money being spent is unprecedented in human history.

So what will the enormous spending program do? It will push simple inflation (a continuing rise in prices due to an increased volume of money and credit relative to available goods and services) into hyperinflation.

That's because fiat money implies by its definition that it self-destructs through depreciation (inflation). Anything that can be created to infinity with political incentive eventually becomes worthless. There are no exceptions. For paper money to work, its issue must be equal to the production of goods and services.

Does anyone think that is the case today? Dream on, if you do.

There is plenty of historical precedent for prolificacy of money creation bringing hyperinflationary chaos which then collapses into depression. The stark reality is that the public has no clue until a collapse arrives and completely destroys their assets and their lives.

A currency collapse is progressing every day with each new dollar that is printed. Now is the time to realize it, rather than later when chaos reigns and everyone is trying to survive at the same time.

We can't have wide open money printing and have a viable and strong currency at the same time. Again I would say dream on if you think so.

So, what are our predictions? Long-dated Treasurysys will show huge losses when interest rates begin to rise. In time, Treasury securities will reach "junk status," and in the long term all U.S. debt will become junk. This outcome is near.

You may ask, "But Bob, why would the Federal government leave us vulnerable to such a dreadful occurrence as a spiraling crescendo of hyperinflation?"

Does greed, corruption and general cluelessness sound like a good enough reason?

Even at this time, Treasurys pay less than the rate of official inflation, never mind the unofficial inflation numbers. Millions of retired people are now experiencing a lower standard of living.

The same is true with certificates of deposit, which pay an interest rate less than the rate of inflation. In other words, if you have your money stashed in what you believe is a safe return CD, you are losing money every day.

Though most are oblivious, U.S. dollar savers are being routed. Savings accounts are paying interest rates less than the devaluation of the dollar. This U.S. dollar crash syndrome is an autoimmune disease where people (the rich and the poor) are impoverished because they were thrifty and saved.

But saving your money by putting it under the mattress is no good either. As the value of the dollar shrinks so does the value of your savings.

With depreciating currency comes rising prices. Depreciating currency brings a lower standard of living and equally a permanent loss of asset values. Look to Venezuela as a current example. And Zimbabwe before that. In December 2008, inflation was over a trillion percent and the economy had been "dollarized," signifying that local currency was virtually unacceptable as legal tender. But Zimbabwe is not the only modern example of an economy ruined by government overspending. In fact, there are many other examples:

Turkey, 2007 — Turkey has suffered from chronic inflation for decades. In 1980, one U.S. dollar was worth 90 Turkish lira. By 2004, a U.S. dollar was worth 1.3 million Turkish lira. As a result, in 2007 the government simply declared a revaluation of the Turkish lira. One million Turkish lira would, from then on, be worth only 1 lira.
Romania, 2005 — In 1998, the highest denomination in Romania was 100,000 lei. By 2005 the highest had become 1 million lei. The Romanian government then devalued its currency, declaring that one new leu would be worth 10,000 lei.
Argentina, 2001 — Overspending by the Argentine government resulted in massive inflation in the 1980s and ‘90s. By 1992, one new peso was worth 100 billion pre-1983 pesos. (Because the old peso had been devalued so much, if Argentines had stuffed their pesos under the mattress in 1982 they would have ended up with nothing.)
Russia, 1994 — Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the new Russia saw annual inflation as high as 2,500 percent in 1992. By 1994 it had dropped to 850 percent because of a tightening of monetary policy and the failure to pay wages to workers in state enterprises, a policy that kept prices low by depressing demand. The value of the ruble declined from 40 rubles to the dollar in 1991 to 30,000 rubles to the dollar by 1999.

If the annual cost of living increases just 5 percent or 6 percent, the purchasing power of money will rapidly vanish. And because of negative real interest rates, consumer price inflation will accelerate, a fact not known by the public. The real spending power of households whose income depends on fixed interest instruments will be cut, reducing their standard of living.

For example, in 1933 the Consumer Price Index (the price of a basket of common goods purchased by the average consumer) was 12.8. In 2008 the CPI was 225. In other words, that same basket of goods has increased from just under $13 to $225. Currently, it's 271, and that's without goods and services that actually price inflate — because they have been taken out of the CPI. Who knows what it would actually be, comparatively speaking.

But it would be high, as anyone who has gone to the grocery store or to buy gas has figured out. Once again, inflation is starting to outpace economic predictions.

As prices rise and the lower classes find it increasingly more difficult to buy necessities, O'Bidenomics will increase taxes on the producers and savers even more, hoping to spread the wealth around. As the spending kicks in, the formerly profligate-spending conservatives will claim to have had an epiphany. They will kick and scream at the thought of running up more debt than they already have caused. But that's a farce.

We are still trying to understand America in terms of capitalism and free enterprise, when in fact America is now a socialist country with a pretty face called democracy.

All fiat systems in history have been in socialist states, no matter the national pretense, as in our term, democracy. Socialist states have a history of suppressing their own people. And all socialist fiat money states/countries transfer wealth and production to the state without payment. Of course, as in America today, this transfer takes place via the depreciation of paper money. The owner of the money printing press owns and controls all wealth and production.

How to prepare

You don't have to just sit by and do nothing. There are simple, easy, inexpensive steps you can take right now to protect your family.

I've prepared a 21st-century survival guide called the Ultimate Hyperinflation Defense Manual that I believe can help you prepare for the worst financial threats America now faces.

This manual is chock-full of proven strategies, techniques and information that can make all the difference during the financial emergency that is inflation, or hyperinflation. In fact, my newly-updated and revised Ultimate Hyperinflation Defense Manual can make your life better even if, God willing, we sidestep some of the economic catastrophes that I fear are coming.

That's because the steps you take now to prepare for some of these possible disasters will end up making you financially stronger... more independent... and more self-reliant than you are now.

You won't find this privately printed dossier in stores. I've developed it exclusively for my extended family of readers, and I've packed it with practical, real-world strategies for coping with a financial catastrophe.

Let me give you some examples:

In addition to physical gold and silver, look to invest in companies that mine the metals. Stock in these companies, as well as those that are involved in the extreme push for green energy, which will have an effect on demand for old-fashioned fossil fuel-reliant systems and processes — especially chip makers — are good bets.
Consider buying stocks in foreign countries. However, remember that while China is still growing, it is cracking down relentlessly on different sectors, and those stocks are losing 25-50 percent of their value in a day and may never recover. India is still a growing economy in an otherwise dismal global market.
If you are getting into foreign stocks, be sure you find a broker that specializes in foreign stocks. There are a few in the U.S. When you think you've found one make sure it's not one that trades through domestic market makers through so-called Pink Sheets, which can cost you money.
There are some blue-chip stocks that are great hedge plays against inflation. These are large companies, foreign-owned, that pay dividends and produce products that are not only popular with Americans, but around the world.
If you do decide to invest in the stock market, be sure you take delivery of your stock certificates. Don't leave them in the hands of the brokerage house.
Although most investment advisors recommend government bonds as a conservative investment and inflation hedge, we have slightly different advice, as well as a different outlook on the keys to investing and the preservation of wealth during hyperinflationary times.

One of the most important lessons to take away from former financial crises is that you need to do careful planning for your own survival during the tough financial times that are ahead. We are facing an imminent era of hyperinflation and these steps and more, in addition to everything you need to know about buying and safely storing gold and silver, are included in my special report The Ultimate Hyperinflation Defense Manual.

For years now, we've been reporting on health, investment and personal survival strategies the government hopes you'll never hear about. It's a point of view that is fiercely independent and is focused solely on your individual well-being. That's why if you want even more advice, wealth-building strategies and dozens of ideas to protect yourself from what is happening to our economy right now, I urge you to take a moment and visit this page.

I will help you get your assets out of paper money and convert them to real, physical assets. I'm convinced that you can protect yourself and even increase your wealth over the next several years as the government depreciates the value of the U.S. dollar... inflation goes through the roof... and the price of gold continues to skyrocket. So please go here now! Times of great economic upheaval present rare opportunities to make life-altering decisions not possible at any other time!

Yours for the truth,
