The goal of this outline is to answer a frequent question about what the alignment of government and private sector officials mean when they say, “managing the transition.” Some of this is self-explanatory, some of this has been astutely explained by others (with specific reference points), yet much of this is what they cannot say publicly. So here we go.
As you are well aware the various western nation central banks including the U.S. Federal Reserve, are raising interest rates into a global economic contraction, a drop in demand. Raising interest rates into a contracting economy is counterintuitive, it runs against the expressed interest of government to grow economic conditions. However, there is a purposeful design to the contradiction. [A TLDR Version Here]
I will further expand, and hopefully this will provide information so that you can make decisions on how to protect your interests.
The central bankers are trying to support western government policy. Unfortunately, the government policy they are under obligation to support is the fundamental energy shift, or what the World Economic Forum (Davos Group) has called the “Build Back Better” climate change agenda.
Monetary policy can only impact one side of the inflation challenge. The western bankers (EU central bank, U.S. federal reserve bank, and various banking groups) are raising interest rates in order to “tame inflation” by “taming demand.” However, as you know the global economic demand has been declining for several quarters. Raising interest rates into an already contracting economy only does one thing, it speeds up the rate of economic contraction.
Economic contraction is the lowering of economic activity. Raise interest rates -in a general sense- and businesses invest less, borrowers borrow less, consumers purchase less, employers expand less, and the economy overall slows down. When the economy turns negative, meaning less products and services are produced, we enter a recession. Some businesses and employers do not survive a recession and subsequently unemployment rises.
During recessionary periods people buy less stuff, people have less income stability, and economic activity drops. When the banks raise interest rates into an economy that is already stalled or contracting, unemployment and general pain on Main Street increases. Workers are laid-off, incomes shrink, consumer spending drops and that leads to less employment. Recessions are bad for middle-class and working-class people.
However, that said, there is one benefit from a recession…. Energy use drops.
People travel less; businesses operate shorter work schedules; manufacturing stops; overall fewer goods are produced because less consumer spending is taking place. From the perspective of the groups who want to see overall energy consumption drop, a recession is a good thing.
A recession also brings along a natural drop in energy prices as less overall energy is used inside an economy that is slowing, stalled or contracting.
Oil prices drop as less oil is needed for the manufacturing of goods. Energy use in transportation also drops and generally gasoline prices drop because less transportation fuel is needed, because fewer goods are being transported. When the economy goes into a recession, energy use and prices always drop.
Put these factors together and you start to see how the transition to a new western energy policy, the Build Back Better agenda, benefits from a recession.
This is the essential understanding needed to reconcile why central banks would intentionally create an economic contraction. The bankers are supporting the governmental objective of transitioning the western economy into a new energy system away from oil, coal and natural gas. The banks are supporting the policy makers.
The central banks cannot openly admit what they are doing to support the politicians and policy makers. In this weird new era, the banks are being instructed to support the policy makers without actually admitting they have changed their monetary mission. The central bankers will continue to say their job is to manage and/or balance employment and inflation. However, what they will not admit is their unspoken agenda to support the political decisions.
Instead, almost all the central banks are saying their interest rate hikes are intended to cool inflation by lowering demand. However, it is not demand that is driving inflation; it is the policy making behind the energy transition that is driving higher costs on everything.
The supply-side of the inflation dynamic is being overwhelmed by massive increases in energy costs which are the results of intentional western policy. Extreme increases in consumer prices are the outcome of these energy price increases. The overwhelming majority of consumer price inflation is being caused by energy policy, not demand.
The various central banks and monetary policymakers know this. In fact, they are lying about their motives. They have to lie, because if they were to tell the truth there would be an uprising, and the sucess of the energy agenda would be put at risk.
In order to support the energy objectives of the various governments’, the central banks are trying -and succeeding- to lower economic activity.
Less economic activity means lower energy needs. This is what they call “managing the transition” to the new economy based on “sustainable energy.”
The banks and policy makers are ultimately managing the economic decline in order to Build Back Better in the future. This is why the originating charter of the central banks is being ignored, and the banks are raising interest rates into an already contracting economy.
None of this is being done accidentally. All of this is being done with forethought and implicit intention.
Unfortunately, for the average person this means the banks and policy makers have entered a phase where it is in their interests to shrink the global economy. They are trying to control the collapse of the various economies by working together. This means less jobs, less work, a lower standard of living, and a period of extreme financial pressure for the average person.
Eventually, we will reach a point where the government(s) will need to step in and fill the gap from the declined economic activity. Bailouts and subsidies will be needed as they were in the COVID lockdown test run. Unemployed workers and the people being impacted by a prolonged economic recession will need subsidies in order to survive.
The government policy makers are planning to do just that, spend more. They practiced during the COVID economic lockdowns, now they will execute a similar policy path as they manage the energy transition.
We have only just entered the beginning phase of this Build Back Better agenda. No one, including the banks and policy makers, have any idea how long this is going to take. We could be in this period of severe economic contraction for several years, perhaps decades, until their grand design of a new energy future is complete. This has been the discussion at the World Economic Forum (WEF), as the instructions were passed out.
The entire time the western government architects are doing this, they must keep the demand for traditional energy products like coal, oil and gas at the lowest demand possible. That is why the central banks and politicians must keep economic activity at the lowest -yet survivable- rate possible.
Prepare your informed long-term affairs accordingly.
Today’s inflation has two roots. Massive increases in money supply, Covid spending, and forcing high energy prices.
As Sundance says, they are using this to destroy the economy. Which will drop energy prices and make them repeat the massive increases in the money supply, recession spending.
But the goal is this transition, which requires high energy prices.
So they will have to work to crush yet more energy supply.
Expect more stifling diktats and more wars involving oil producers.
And a long Rollercoaster ride. Even more misery than the RonaCoaster.
Lots more misery. People in the South will die of heat stroke and people in the North will freeze to death. What wicked people.
And people in the 1% will die of heavy metal poisoning.
… and “oil cancer”, if we’re to believe Dribbling Joe
They quickly switched “cancer” to “covid” there, all fixed.
Yup, and the sociopaths will blame climate change for the deaths to justify more diktats…
All merely “useless eaters” and many of ’em on Medicare, too. TPTB are gleefully patting each other on the back.
I’ve read that only a little more than 1% of our energy is produced from these “Green Energy” sources, and it won’t even be able to exceed 5% of our current levels by the year 2040.
They know this. What’s the world going to look like if they succeed in cutting energy profuction by 95%? I would imagine a lot like their plan they had to lock everyone down for the ten years, until a vaccine (they already had) would be available to the public.
They want to cut the population by 95% as well. That’s how they intend to solve that problem.
The WEF thugs noted that, during the lockdowns, CO2 emissions dropped noticeably, thanks to mandated reduced activity. Now they wish to make that reduced activity our future norm.
Long term unemployed can’t survive on $1200 a year in Covid payments.
There are going to be a lot of unemployed and hungry and homeless and pissed off people.
During Covid they frightened people into staying at home. We are all finished with that, forever, so we will still be fraternizing and plotting. Must be another pandemic in the wind to prevent that.
And with that will be a significant increase in crime.
Polio in New York today.
Get your new phizer vaccine .
Invite the Third World

Biden DID warn us that the “next pandemic’ is coming!
It’s already swimming north thru the Rio Grande.
A very good point. I studied the Air Quality Index daily readings pre- and post-COVID in both US and Chinese urban centers. This is exactly what happened.
Practicing, learning how to be gray is another tool to have – blend in, to stand in line with everyone else when the rations get handed out, not letting anyone know about the vittles and whatnot being stored in the spare room and freezers. Think that’s what Sundance called it ‘going gray’?
The Republicans are where?????
In on it?🤷♂️
Definitely in on it.
DC Uniparty….Sundance on it early…

While I share your frustration, I would advise that we always remain alert to identifying allies and encouraging them whenever possible. These days it is hard to have integrity in the sewer. Those willing to enter the muck and resist must be recognized and supported. Protected even.
Let the great divorce commence.
We do not need them. Everything they have, use and control can be substituted, replaced or ignored. A parallel society is going to need building in the near future to rekindle liberty across the world soon enough.
Yes, I like the idea of a parallel society. We have our own farmers, truckers, medical groups, schools. We can do it if we have to and it’s looking like we are going to have to unless we want to get it over with in one fell tree-watering swoop.
Government officials are raiding and punishing Amish farmers.
Atlas Shrugged – we are the machine. They need us.
I have never understood one thing in their planning here in the US. The leftist/globalists/communists/socialists/progressives principally control concentrated urban areas. These cesspools produce, manufacture, distribute, process, and control almost nothing of the resources they need to survive. Electricity, fuel, food, and even water are controlled by the areas and people outside the leftist urban rat’s dens. These urban areas are pretty easy to encircle and cut off from everything they need just to continue living.
It seems like the globalists in this country are doing everything they can to instigate a revolutionary response from the pro-American pro-Constitutional citizens outside the areas under their control. How do they expect to survive?
I understand that Obama and his cohorts have set up their ‘retreats’ on Nantucket and Hawaii to be able to hide out when the SHTF but they need to salvage something from their army of dependent pawns. Do they not? Or do they just intend to sacrifice all their pawns and then plan on ‘exterminating’ the remaining deplorables?
Of course I am hopeful, because I believe that once again history is not being listened to. Once again the will, determination, and independence of the American people is being grossly under estimated. At least that is my hope and my prayer that may be the only thing that will sustain this country and ultimately human society and civilization.
Don’t forget how many of the true fighting generations have died or are getting very old. Too many in the younger generations only know how to scream and have no desire to put up a fight for the things or principles you are hoping they will fight for. Sad sad situation.
Atlas Shrugged
There is something of a precedent for this and that is NAFTA. I lived in the south when NAFTA was implemented and I remembered business after business folding. The net affect was to change the south from an independent minded, conservative people to a more government dependent people. The change was significant, but, incomplete — Thank G-d!
The change that these jerk leaders want is not on things like electric cars or whatever else. The change they want is us. They want us to change to a more controllable, malleable people, that is, government dependent people. And, they want to separate us from our G-d and the Constitution.
As Sundance mentioned earlier in another article, our politicians are actually fighting to keep us in state of cultural decadence. They do not want us to decide whether to have Roe versus Wade at the state level. They don’t want us to vote whether pornography is protected by the first amendment. Our American tradition is to vote on issues of morality. The left wish to impose issues of immorality upon us by means of a court packed by leftist, corrupt justices in the SC.
So, with people out of work because the leaders control the levers of the economy and with people surrounded by the cultural filth that they imposed upon us as if this filth was protected by the constitution, we shall decay spiritually which is the objective. They want us entangled in the wickedness and snares of the devil.
They want to control us by weakening us and destroying our family from within and we must resist this decay. They want drugs pouring across the border so, again, we destroy ourselves.
The great reset is to reset us so that they can build the new Man as they see fit — G-d forbid it!
Great summary of the current overall situation. Fortunately, I believe, there are at least two factors that will prevent the anti-American anti-Constitutionalists from success.
The first is that ultimately GOD is control. Of everything. HE may allow HIS people to suffer some what as a result of their transgressions in ‘tolerating’ society to decay to the level of Sodom and Gomorrah. But ultimately GOD will redeem HIS people if they will repent (turn away from) their sins and call upon HIS name.
The second is that historically the will, determination, strength, and ability of the American people has been grossly underestimated. Psychopathic megalomaniacs, due to their being psychopathic megalomaniacs, do not believe that there pre-destined superiority has anything to be concerned with history. Their belief in their own infallibility and under estimation of possible opposition has almost always been the downfall of every one of these self-ideologues that have risen throughout history. I pray that their underestimation of the people they seed to destroy will, once again, rise up to bite them in their throats.
“However, what they will not admit is their unspoken agenda to support the political
decisionsdelusions.”They had to stop The Great Migration out of the cities. They want us crammed into “smart cities”, eating bugs, and living on an Universal Basic Income doing exactly what they tell us to do. Can you imagine what the suicide rate would be then?
Ya know, those checks they handed out to everyone? Most people didn’t need the money. A lot of people just blew that on vacations or luxuries. The checks were automatically deposited. I don’t want any of their filthy lucre and I’d like to know how to block such deposits. Looking back, EVERYTHING in the plandemic was a test run for what is to come. I spit in their general direction.
I pray the Lord intervenes in their wicked plans!!
As an aside, I went out and talked to my cows. I told them that if the Federales come for them, I’ll shoot the bastards, and promised I’d do everything in my power to keep them peacefully, happily, grazing the land as the Lord intended.
UBI will be the first step in total control of the population.
Must crash the economy to do that….

Horrors! Thank you for posting Marilyn…I mean, Norma Jean!
I predict that suicide will be celebrated as a patriotic move, especially to those who might harbor non-complaint impulses. Murder of deplorables is already tacitly encouraged.
We only received one of the disbursement checks (in the mail) and that went to long term preparations. The reason that we did not receive the payments electronically is that we always seem to end up owing Uncle Sam a few bucks each year and send it to them via check.
Because they do not already have an electronic deposit set up with them it seemed to cause the ‘geniuses’ within our ‘government’ agencies to ’tilt’. Of course we were offered to ‘opportunity’ to set up an account and electronic deposit if we wanted to even check on any of the return of funds to us. But we opted out of that ‘opportunity’.
Bravo! Cows are such beautiful animals. Thanks for the inspiring post.
Ever watched Hud?
Look up “steady state economy”. SD might want to do an expose of it.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/steady-state-economy.asp
I read a steady-state economy as being permanently in stasis. It defies the natural order of things in that stasis is functionally equivalent to death in the natural world.
Are we assuming that nothing can be done against this?
The attitude of this section is concerning:
“We have only just entered the beginning phase of this Build Back Better agenda. No one, including the banks and policy makers, have any idea how long this is going to take. We could be in this period of severe economic contraction for several years, perhaps decades, …
.
Prepare your informed long-term affairs accordingly.”
Despite the use of the Subjunctive Mood “could,” this paragraph seems to assume that a second term for President Trump cannot happen. It seems to assume that a first-term for DeSantis is impossible, or that he will be neutered by The Deep State.
ALL of this idiocy can be reversed within 18 months and a burgeoning, optimistic economy – and society – can be restored by President Trump or by anyone establishing Conservative policies.
It “could” take “years,” or even “decades,” but it WILL NOT happen, if President Trump can be restored to office with a true Conservative successor.
Or if a Conservative revolution occurs with other local and state leaders yet to be determined!
The attitude that nothing can be done against this idiocy will become self-fulfilling ipso facto.
I refuse to accept any such surrender.
“IF”
Were you paying attention during Trumps presidency and how he was not only blocked by the Democrats but the Republicans as well?
I’m paying attenting to all the MAGA candidates that are replacing swamp creatures
The MAGA 4D chess board is being set up for MAGA’s second Term.. precisely because Trump has learned a thing or two about the swamp.
Amen!
That is why I am not preparing for a depression/recession/stagflation lasting “decades.”
NEVER QUIT!!! NEVER!!!!
Much can be done – but we have to be willing to do it.
Demoralization and illusion are their greatest weapons.
Even the smallest defiance’s can be effective just because of our numbers. Boycott any woke company. Opt out of TV with your cable, I did several years ago. Help and encourage those who refuse to comply, whether friends, politicians or patriots who speak out. Join social conversations to stay informed and to inform others. Don’t be discouraged if you haven’t the money or physical ability to do more, just do what you can.
It is not likely that the globalist’s plan is going to be thwarted by the citizens use of the ‘soap box’ to air their grievances to the government. Our grievances are ignored by those that are supposed to ‘represent’ us and/or silenced by the media and technology propaganda arms of the government.
It is also not likely that the people will be allowed to use the ‘ballot box’ as a means of changing government in this country. This has been tried as well and those in power and control simply manipulated the electoral process in their favor. When this was made blatantly obvious our ‘judiciary’ told us that “no one has standing” to challenge the electoral process and the propaganda arms told us over and over again that all evidence had been ‘debunked’. Our ‘representatives’ are still repeating “no standing” and “debunked”.
There is no way that the 2024 election or even the 2022 election is going to be allowed to get out of the anti-Americans control. They have several options that are all still in play for 2022:
A) Create a crisis prior to the election that ‘justifies’ a sustained ‘postponement’.
B) Manipulate the election even more blatantly and challenge anyone to do anything about it.
C) Let the pro-Americans win in a landslide then ‘invalidate’ the election using proof, provided by their ‘intelligence’ agencies, to document that the election was stolen by the pro-Americans.
D) Create a crisis after the election so severe that it ‘justifies’ not implementing the results of the election.
Eventually the pro-American people may be forced to resort, once again, to the ‘cartridge box’ to resolve their differences with their own government. The people can and should attempt resistance via civil disruption, non-consent, and ‘extreme federalism’ on the part of the States. These actions, in and of themselves, may provoke a militaristic action on the part of our ungovernable Federal ‘government’. Once the ‘government’ chooses to ‘march their Red Coats’ out of Washington, DC that ‘government’ will have chosen 1776 as the means to test the will, determination, and righteousness of the American People.
Correct, Ausonius…Devolution and CoG in action.
But, if/when they dispence emergency govt subsidies, checks in mail, direct deposits to all, EBT cards for fuel, etc. doesn’t that just increase demand, which they SAY they are trying to decrease, to slow the rate of inflation!??
So, even if you try to accept for the sake of discussion, their twisted logic that DEMAND id fueling inflation, rather than their misguided policies effecting supply, their remedy will inevitably including “humanitarian” helping out the citisenry by more Covid relief type assistance, which WILL increase demand.
Insane Idiots In Charge
Those subsidies increase the demand and consumption of the poor so they can avoid getting even more poor while the middle class does get poorer to help “even the score”. That is then reflected in inflation, but not until months down the road at which point they cue the same song. More subsidies for the poorest to keep them there while the middle class gets still poorer. Eventually everyone is poor. Goal met.
If we can’t get PDJT back in the WH then we are eff’d.
Putin is @ play! Pay attention to him.
Will someone please explain to me how lower gas prices are going to make us want to transition to electric cars? I saw gas at $3.45gal here in Texas today. Was $4.40gal a month ago. I am in my upper 70’s with no debt and don’t intend to ever buy electric. I almost bought a new GMC 2500 PU several months ago but backed off when the dealer wouldn’t come off sticker price. I told him I never paid sticker price in my life and I wasn’t going to start now. I can wait till the dealers lots fill up with cars again and they are having to pay floor plan interest. Then they will be ready to deal.
So let’s do some math.
An electric car gets 4.6 miles per kWh. Let’s say you have 30 mpg car. BTW I have both types.
Let’s drive both for 1000 miles, assuming electricity is $0.12/kWh and gas is $5.00 per gallon.
So 1000/4.6 x $0.12 kWh is $26 dollars. 1000/30 x $5.00 is $166.
The electric car is over 6x less expensive to drive. Not buy mind you, but drive.
For a few years. 15k for a replacement battery?
By then, the battery will be more.
Lithium is in short supply and located in all the places that hate us.
Not to mention the initial cost of the vehicle.
Also remember the range of the electric car, beside the battery energy retention over temperature.
When refuelling a gasoline tank 20 gallons usually less than 10 minutes. Recharging an electric car, usually overnight.
Electric cars will never win an endurance race in Baja, 🇲🇽 Mexico
You said something about “temperature”.
How well does the battery stay cool in 110 degree heat?
Not really interested in EV-flambe’. I’ll pass on that one.
Until you want to go on a road trip. How many hotels and lost days of work for travel to charge the EV?
Then there’s the cost of either permanently leasing or always buying a new vehicle every few years and no used cars.
I have 3 cars – no car payments as I always pay cash. I bought one in 2005 a fully loaded Toyota sport ute – still going strong after 17 years. I bought a 2001 Ford sport ute in 2000 also still going strong. I have a 2018 fully loaded Toyota sport ute paid cash and expect to drive it for another 15 years maybe more.
Then there’s the personal property taxes and insurance being cheaper on old cars…
EVs are a huge waste of money.
That’s the price of freedom. I’m willing to spend a little more.
If you drive 1000 miles how many times do you stop to recharge your battery and how long does each recharge take? How much does the battery cost, parts and labor, and how many kWh is it good far? Since most people here in Texas have standard 200 amp service to their home that is currently being used, they will have to add extra service just to charge their EV. If the idiots now in control want 50% compliance by 2030, in a few years we will be paying triple or quadruple for our electric service. I could go on but I won’t. I might not make it to 2030 but I don’t want my wife and children paying $1500/$2000 a month for electric service. I would prefer to spend $166 to drive 1000 miles.
Wanna race my corvette?
From an E2E CO2 pov, hybrids make much more sense.
CO2 isn’t a pollutant.
Okay. Now do the equation for battery replacement, because the battery will be dead from rolling blackouts and not nearly enough charging stations. And..with the “demand” for more electricity, prices will go up per kWh.
Then do the equation for infertility, because you’re sitting on a battery that will have an extreme detrimental effect on the body.
Your 4.6 miles per kwh is wrong. A 1 kw motor is (roughly) a 1 hp motor and propelling a usual auto at moderate speeds is maybe a 20 hp job. Get back to us with a more accurate number.
Furthermore electricity is only $0.12/kwh for an incremental kwh at the present level of production and demand. But in order to substantially convert to EVs — say even 10% of fleet — we would have to massively expand the grid. A 100% conversion means end-to-end doubling of capacity, all the way from mining of fuels to the wall socket.
That expansion cannot be priced because it is impossible — we don’t have the money, the skilled labor, or the manufacturing capacity.
What works for one person may be a disaster if attempted as policy.
Good start on the discussion but there are major parameters always missing from these types of assessment with respect to the vehicles being powered.
The balance has to consider: Weight – Volumes (size) – Desired Speed – range (time) – amp hour draw – amp hours available – power density needed to generate and sustain the amp-hour draw.
Of note is that automotive electrical power systems are notoriously HEAVY and LARGE, thus contribute NEGATIVELY to the entire balance of the vehicle system involved.
Yes, by all means let’s do some math. https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?singlepost=3860507
When ALL costs are considered, EVs do not make economic sense.
While recharging at stations that use oil and gas to make the electricity. Even electric car owners will eventually be relegated to riding the bus and eating bugs.
So then it gets a few years on it and it needs a new battery…$14,000 – $18,000 are the prices I hear about. Keep talking.
And if every one of your neighbors buys an EV and is charging their car over night. Don’t even go there with 2 cars.
How well does the residential grid hold up to that kind of draw? Then extrapolate that out to just 50% of all cars. Where do you plan to find the massive increase in generation required? Solar? Using lithium batteries for overnight charging? Lithium at that rate will never be available.
And then when electricity becomes scarce, how will that impact your .12/ kwh?
The fairy dust plan has no chance without a huge shift away from the pipe dream of solar and wind and lithium.
Period.
Ridiculous to go through this without the cost to purchase, maintain, and repair. Would you buy solar panels because they provide electricity for free once they are purchased and installed?
Battery powered electric cars will become obsolete as soon as technology develops a super efficient generator that powers the electric engine. Not only does it use hardly any fuel it lightens the overall weight of the vehicle allowing a smaller lighter electric motor. Batteries are not the solution. An onboard power generator would also never require hours sitting to recharge.
We have this system right now with alternators charging your starter battery and running all your electronics, but that technology can’t generate enough power to run an electric motor. A small efficient generator could run on many fuels and will likely kill off all the big batteries right after society spends billions on charging infrastructure and has mega tons of old batteries we can’t get rid of.
We were also looking at GMC Denali 2500 HD (diesel).
Numerous dealers openly mentioned their “upcharge” to the sticker.
I recall saying to the first one, “excuse me?”
We are also waiting for things to cool off.
But this also leads to: “BRICS.”
Sensible humans who realize that the planet’s future does not, in fact, “follow a Western™ pied-piper.”
It’s just the re-make of the punchline of an old joke: “Whaddaya mean ‘we,’ paleface?”
The world won’t wait around for you to realize that you have made a colossal mistake. It won’t wait for you realize that, while you may have mountains of currency, you have no wealth. If you have thrown away the football, others will grab and run with it.
And, soon enough, your own countrymen will draw the same conclusions. “It isn’t pretty” what happens next.
Turkey comes to mind in that it now is applying to join the BRICS.
As the EU starves and is frozen this winter you will see an exodus from established petro dollar states to the BRICS+.
The world is already awake to the 3 letter agencies and central bankers schemes around the world to crash and plunder independent countries and this time will be different. But a lot of the population of the US is completely oblivious.
I am 110% MAGA. I am hoping for BRICS to be 110% successful. And then I pray the USA wakes the eff up and stops this nonsense and again becomes energy self-sufficient. It could happen if the election is not fraudulent and DJT is re-elected.
I think it was EO 13848 by President Trump that states ” my words ” about any entity involved in election theft can and will have all assets confiscated. Gates, Blackrock, schwab ect.
If this is ever enacted it’s a huge wealth drain of the wealthy and banksters.
This! 117% !!
Keep in the back of your mind that because of the western sanctions’ against Russia’s economy, Putin enacted UBI for all children from conception until 17.
He is also keeping Russia on track for UN 2030.
BRICS is a necessary vehicle to destroy the US$.
Once mission is accomplished, BRICS can also be dismantled to place WEFer control over the remaining countries.
Of course, the current situation in China could throw a little wrench in their plans……
Honestly, I hope the Chinese people don’t back down on this and they fuel a new revolution. Imagine that: Chinese citizens lead the destruction of the One World Gov,?
Hmmm … so BRICS can be dismantled – so they are just going to give up all their leverage? The world runs on affordable, efficient, energy. Maybe modern nuclear power can offer a serious challenge but thats at least 10 years out and the BRICS crowd will morph on to that too.
Nuclear power could be doubled, tripled, quadroupled quickly. All it takes is determination in the United States to build a lot of standardized units and plug them in. My prefered way would be to use the U.S.N. . Build powerships like liberty ships. Plug them in on the west coast, the east coast, the gulf coast, and the great lakes coast. Bypass the civilian regulatory gridlock.
Just look at Puerto Rico.
Sundance, when is the last time a new refinery was built in the US? What was the population at that time? How many vehicles were on the road at that time, both gas and diesel?
Now, ask the same questions with regard to the EU.
At bottom, this is a question of infrastructure, or rather its absence. And it is playing out in both regions against a background of massive demographic shifts. Birth rates have collapsed among the steadily growing percent of urbanized, educated and emancipated indigenous folk, who have opted to sculpt an indulgent material lifestyle at the expense of family. And they are not going to recover. At the same time, both regions have been inundated by scores of millions of illegals and refugees, who have little to contribute to a modern society. The cultural, economic and social costs of this diaspora are far, far greater than the trillions of which you speak.
I cannot emphasize too strongly that it is this transformation that is driving policy. In sum, Build Back Better is the cart, not the horse. Those of us who live in Minnesota are keenly aware of this profound shift, but here one speaks of it in the past tense because the damage has already been done. Look at our birth rates in the last three censuses, zeroing in on birth rates by ethnicity. It is in these banal numbers, which in my judgment are driven by a multi-generational effort to erect neofeudalism on the ashes of the American, French and Industrial Revolutions, that you will hit bedrock.
Quite.
The efforts are to undo all of the advances from everything in the last several centuries resulting from the west’s heritage of Greek philosophy, and Christianity. To say nothing of improving the lot of humanity with the scientific method. And to top that, America is/was a manifestation of all of those things.
They mean to kill that tree of liberty by uprooting it completely.
“when is the last time a new refinery was built in the US?”
“Now, ask the same questions with regard to the EU”
NOW, ask:
“How many INFRASTRUCTURE bills have been passed by Congress over that time?”
Of course another way to reduce economic activity is to arrange for a good part of the population to no longer be around.
Why can’t these criminals be stopped?
FWIW…

It doesn’t have to be this way.
The more you show us, the more evil I see this whole Democrat agenda. Pure conniving evil. All while Big Brother is watching out for subversive dissidents – those who point out the agenda and the purposeful destruction of Americans.
After years of observation, I have concluded that Democrats have always been this evil. They have just hidden it better and only done as much as they could get away with without being caught.
Power through victimization.
Keeping victims suppressed and wholly dependent on them.
Scapegoating all their evil acts on their opponents.
Pretending to be good and then demonizing all who would oppose them as evil.
And those poor fools who think anything the left did was actually meant to help people, get attacked and mercilessly destroyed for trying to improve it so that people aren’t victimized and kept dependent. Even Democrats.
But the left thinks it is in the final stretch, and they have abandoned all restraint, showing the world what they truly are as they race for the final goal, totalitarian control.
Don’t let the Republicans off so easily. A simple case of bad cop, good cop.
Yes, the Republican Uniparty are fully complicit in the Democrat agenda.
The Covid lie left them giddy. They only have to destroy global economies to get people to stay home and accept scraps from the government.
We are all falling into a black hole.
Ok… but what happens on top of that when you flood a country with uneducated illegals and many of which are going onto our services we pay for???
what happens is you pay more and receive less
you don’t mind supporting a couple other families in addition to your own, do you?
A la Dr. Zhivago.
“…. going onto our services we pay for???”
That’s right

They’ll be put on Social Security … just because
Geez – talk about cutting the line …
Another brilliant piece, Sundance!
As Ive been saying for a long time, this gets much worse and you will never “out vote” this.
There is a major flaw in reducing economic output to lessen energy use. Without a bustling economy demand for electric cars will decline.
Musk’s original vision included achieving economies of scale. Less economic activity means less scale. The leftists see people as planetary parasites and wants to cull us.

#Trump2024 to Save America
Amen again! See my comment above!
OPTIMISM that we will overcome election fraud and unconstitutional ukases is an absolute necessity right now!
After the taxpayers bailed the bass💩 out of their last round of gorging themselves…
Perhaps they’ll be picked off.
Well, China, India and Africa are having a good laugh then. As the West contracts economically to facilitate their new energy economy, they’ll cede economic leadership to the BRICs. The West won’t be leading anything. Kind of a half-assed strategy isn’t it?
I have a feeling the Framer’s intended purpose for the 2nd Amendment is about to become blindingly obvious.
So, with the past recessions depressions they created and eventually fixed with their money spending and wars, won’t happen this time. They just let all the chip fall where they may? As long as they end up with their no energy pollution future and fewer humans to corrupt nature.
I don’t see this ending like they want. I know there is a spiritual dynamics at work here and their ignoring God’s ultimate authority over the affairs of earth and that mean they loss.
hmmmmm….we’ll see. Sri Lanka and the Netherlands suggest the plan may not unfold as expected.
The new president of Sri Lanka is a WEF ideologue who is implementing a QR code digital identity, supposedly for fuel rationing. He more than any other spearheaded the green energy, no commercial fertilizer push in Sri Lanka. So, I have doubt whether Sri Lankans will see any improvements.
I read somewhere today an opinion piece that said the current government leaders are simply place-holders, that the WEF is working to position the loyal ideologues, ready to institute the authoritarian governments that the WEF intends without any concern or caring about the masses. The place-holders are falling under the strains of inflation and popular discontent.
Interest rates have to rise with inflation. They were kept artificially low under Obama, to go with how they kept inflation artificially low. Exit polls in 2012 showed high prices as a major concern, even as government stats showed low inflation.
Brilliant analysis. I have watched the Fed go completely pro-cyclical. I know they are corrupt too. Powell saying he is surprised is poppycock. He knows what is going on, or he is an imbecile. Even money on either…
Here’s a glimpse of their long-range plans –
1) The end of personal automobiles
2) The elimination of meat products
3) The elimination of physical currency
4) Government-issued banking accounts which can be frozen for any reason by a technocratic bureaucracy

Alex Newman Explains UN Agenda 2030 Behind Farming Restrictions
The 2030 Agenda is a plan of action devised by the United Nations (U.N.) to achieve 17 sustainable development goals (SDG). … adopted by all UN member states in 2015.
The Agenda “specifically says that we need to change the way that we consume and produce goods,” he added.
In September 2021, the U.N. held the Food Systems Summit, which emphasized the need “to leverage the power of food systems”
Taking Over Farmland
The sustainable development agenda emerged in the 1970s when the United Nations tried to define it at a conference in Vancouver, Canada, in 1976.
“Land cannot be treated as an ordinary asset controlled by individuals … Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, therefore contributes to social injustice.”
Newman said that, in his view, the U.N. ultimately wants to get rid of private land ownership. “We see this all over the world. This is not just happening in the Netherlands.”
“They want to remove small farmers, even medium farmers, from their land, and they want to bring it all under the control of these—I think there’s no other term to describe it—fascistic public-private partnerships.”
“If you have agricultural land, do not sell out to these people. They’re trying to bribe the farmers to leave their land.”

Whatever Bill Gates’ intentions are with his farmland purchasing, I’ll bet a donut he’s got these UN/Globalist goals in mind
…therefore contributes to social injustice.”
Social Injustice is code for “I need to be buried in your back forty right now.”
What should be clearly understood is that this is a managed mandatory transition to a lower standard of living because our leadership believes ordinary Americans live too well.
A lower standard of living for normal Americans — though not for our elites — is the elite view of morality.
You could say that if we accept this we deserve what we get. But it’s worse than that: Large complex systems are non-linear and there may be randomness in response to changes. It is entirely possible that a reduction in standard of living that seems possible although not fun — say 50% — leads to a collapse of the system. We may not have the choice of going back to the economy of Russia in the 1950’s but may instead find ourselves on our way to the 14th century with only animal power for food production and manufacturing.
Survivors live as subsistence farmers, small tradesmen. A few elites live in fortified compounds. But nobody has a car, antibiotics, electronics of any sort …
I’m in disagreement that this thesis that Sundance outlines has a western government architects’ signature.
This does have the stink of the CCP’s / WEF all over it.
After our utility company announced increases of 20-40%, my bill went up 50% for this last month! And we were out of town almost 10 days with the thermostat at 78*
I have an alternate theory. This destruction of the West and industry is Chinese driven. China is systematically destroying all elements of resistance to its Belt and Road global hegemony plan. I speculate that the WEF is a front for the Dragon, and does its bidding.
I question the energy transition model because there is nothing to transition to. There are no electric cars, nothing like the batteries needed, no plans to build a grid that could sustain even home needs let alone transport. No, the idea is to end our ability to move around absent permission. Commercial air transport will likely disappear. The plan is that we no longer have cars. We live on collectives, as slaves, owning nothing, and most especially not ourselves. Consumer units.
We will live as peasants, and China will be the only industrialized nation, supplying everything required, including the devices that tether us to their endless propaganda. Human population will necessarily plummet in a hellscape where life is not worth living.
In the short term, China needs to defang its opposition. They cannot stand to have another Trump in the WH as he was on to their plans.
they don’t want survivors.
Some comments here about bartering and trading. Just remember, our IRS interprets those transactions as income. Be aware and don’t run afoul of the IRS, no matter how unfair you feel it is.
What form does bartering and trading get reported on?
How do verbal agreements, handshakes, winks and nods in reaching mutually agreeable and informal ‘deal’ actually get recorded and reported?
Look up Rep. Thomas Massie’s (KY) videos on off-grid living for inspiration. He really uses his land like Washington and Jefferson. If you don’t have land, find someone who does and enter an agreement to swap labor for the fruits of the land. Get creative. Here’s your moment to really use the brain and talents God gave you.
I, like Massie, have an EV and a lot of solar on my house, though I’m not off-grid. For me solar is a certain level of independence from the gubment being able to bankrupt our retirement investments with their bonehead energy policies. My solar produced 58% of all the power I needed last year in my two-story now all-electric house in Alabama (read lots of power needed for A/C, but lots of sun too). So I’m upgrading my solar system and got an EV (think of it as Phase II of getting more energy independence, knowing I’ll never be 100% energy independent). If my predictions are as accurate as Phase I, I’ll produce 85% to 95% of all the power we consume, even charging the EV to drove ~200 miles/week.
But I hate, hate, hate the idea of forcing solar onto people, especially at the utility level where bureaucrats always mess things up. Solar is good only at the individual level and only if you want to do it (and are in a good situation for it like I am).
Of course, we still have an ICE pickup so we have some energy diversification (in case our solar system goes down after the Dims make power as expensive and hard to come by as they do gas after they convince everybody to have an EV).
Ah, but you ignore the coming solar tax…
You will never be free in a Libtarded world.
The lunacy will continue till it collapses on itself . Somehow the government parasitic wonks and their puppet masters will blame average Americans for the collapse that the wonks and supporters planed and will show up with another plan to fix what they broke at a high cost to their victims and high profits for the wonks .
AND THE BEAT GOES ON
And we’re funding all this mayhem when we pay taxes.
Boom! This outline of what they’re doing needs to make it in to mainstream dialog as much as possible.
