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.
I have no idea how to prepare other than be debt free and exist on absolute necessities.
Maybe join a farmer’s co-op so you can get local foods. Unless you have land of your own, to grow your own.
That’s the silver lining here. Bring it back home – local jobs, local food, local production.
I think states’ leaders are ready to break some laws and get their own state economies going again.
We have been setting up a barter system to get through long term. I give you eggs, duck, rabbit, and chicken, in return, I get fish, deer, hog, beef, etc.
A good thing for sure. But where does the feed come from ? In the old days we produced our own feed or traded for it. Now many people rely on feed stores.
At least for chickens, choose breeds that are good foragers. Hybrids are selected to thrive on laying mash. Heritage breeds can thrive on grass and bugs
If you have big gardens you can grow many kinds of food for chickens. They are omnivores like us, and need not depend on grain.
We will feed ze birds wis ze bugs they give to us to eat!!
But, seriously, growing worms and soldier flies isn’t that hard. I should think seriously about that. I still rely on feed in addition to their foraging and kitchen/garden scraps.
All of what you say is very good so long as you have water for crops, animals, etc. I live out of town, have a small garden with some fruit and nut trees but none of that is possible if they shut off the electricity and I can’t pump water. I have enough land that I could sustain several head of cattle, sheep, etc. But, again, if there is no water all I have is dry land.
Solar and wind have been hyped to the point beyond reality, but they ARE practical and useful in SOME situations, and pumping water is one.
Because they have been overhyped, there is a big market, which in term justifies mass production, which in turn lowers the price.
Take a look at alternative sources of energy, to keep your water pumping?
Wind is not really an option here as there is very little wind other than an occasional soft breeze. We have plenty of sun in the summer but our winters tend to be foggy. In winter we can go weeks without seeing the sun shine.
Wind mill pumps. It’s old-school, but a few in the Midwest are still working. Wind turns a crank at the top shaft; it’s connected by steel rod to a conventional manual water pump handle. Trough overflow goes back into the well. If the wind doesn’t blow, you pump.
Pumping from 400 feet deep would require more muscles than my 70 year old body has.
I hear you. It’s a catch-22. I live in an area that receives a lot of rain. Stuff just grows. However, it’s hotter than hades during the summer and without air conditioning, you could die from heat stroke due to the high humidity. There’s no perfect place to raise animals.
Look up the history of your place. What did the pioneers do? The answer to that question is the answer to yours. Perhaps the answer was that the land was too inhabitable, so they moved. But there is always a remnant of tenacious – or crazy – people who dig their heels in. Think how nice it would feel to become self-sufficient.
Majority of people live in the cities. Those people cannot barter so it is going to be epic watching the ghetto rats without food, burning the cities to the ground. What is going to be interesting, is to see how long the people put up with this BS anymore. The people are getting ready to revolt, we just need that one spark to set it off. I have faith that we will overcome them. When the majority of people wake up with hunger in their bellies along with their families, is when it will happen.
Gated communities are in for a shock, as they are an example of people drawn to the ILLUSION of security, and 1-2 unarmed Security guards are no match for a hoard of hungry ghetto dwellers,…
I remember a story of an older couple who lived in a “gated community” somewhere in Nevada. Some punk just hopped that back fence of the gated community, robbed and killed the older couple. I remember thinking, “I will never live in a gated community”.
Us Florida gaters don’t rely on the security guards or police.
Skills and labor trades for food and clean water. Water is critical; learn to capture, clean, sterilize and store. Transportation is critical; build or acquire manual cycle capable of carrying freight or an extra person. Clothing is critical; learn to sew and acquire a sewing machine which runs off of 12v, which is a car battery and solar charged. Peddlers are critical; develop a network gradually of food supply and customers who will buy from you. Animals are critical; besides food, people need protection and that is dogs!
People did live quite well mid 1800’s without gasoline energy, electric power or a nanny government. But they did need each other, taking care of themselves and helping one another WITHOUT WELFARE!
Keep talking Grumpy Grandpa. You have wisdom.
What makes you believe the savages will limit their activities to the cities?
take a city, put a 2 mile ring around the city limits and you probably have as far as savages will travel. the country is filled with families ready to defend themselves.
A more likely outcome is as described….
https://survivalblog.com/2008/08/12/the-golden-horde-and-the-thin/
Prepare accordingly…look for EBT riots in an area near you, and then make a “snap call” about hunkering down or high tailing it…
Going through the “haul ass boxes” at the end of the month.
They won’t. They’ll just hit what’s convenient initially. There will be roving gangs and their ability to travel will be solely based on their ability to steal fuel. That is why everyone should have layers of security (dogs, cameras, booby traps, guns, etc.) and live more than a tankful of gas away from a major city.
In my opinion.
I would like to believe that people will defend themselves and property but it’s a pipe dream. Does anyone here actually believe the starved masses will not find your little garden? The hungry will kill you for your beans, squash etc. How many on this site have actually been in combat? 2 years in Vietnam and 10 as a LOE. My partner was shot and I got lucky taking a bullet through my hat. I’ll assure you that perp didn’t come down for dinner. I can tell you with personal knowledge that being in a riot is terrifying. Blood will flow. Of this I’m sure. How can’t anyone believe that this personal destruction of our country can be managed. As you loose everything you’ve worked a lifetime for are you just going to make believe that you’re not a target. This is not a game. It’s not a survivor show. Communist want you gone. Do you understand? Gone/removed from life. Our safety lies in numbers and a plan of removing the garbage that is destroying America. You and I will not have the luxury of invisibility.
Didn’t Mel Gibson star in a Movie like this?
Why do you think it’s nearly impossible to buy an affordable copy of Camp of the Saints? It’s practically banned. The scenes in that book are like your predictions. (You can get a pdf on archive.org.)
Except, as in holland they will get rid of farmers and “buy” their land.
Isn’t Bill Gates already doing that. He is now the owner of more farmland than anyone else. And China is right behind him buying our farmland also.
The thing is, planting your garden in another man’s yard only works if contracts and the law allows you to. If things fall apart, Bill Gates doesn’t have the boots to hold that land, and likely neither will the Chinese.
Yes he’s been busy buying up farmland.
Faux farmer Gates is beyond wimpy and wouldn’t know which end of the pitchfork to hold.
Reducing oil and gas prices also hurts Russia.
How quickly we forget RussiaRussiaRussia!
No, it really doesn’t. Look at the map again. Many countries are still paying top prices for gas and oil.
Sure wish the cowards running the big energy companies were equally willing to “break some laws”. But noooo, they might earn the disfavor of TPTB and see a reduction in their portfolio values.
I spent the day removing the hardware from an old oil barrel wood stove I used before getting a pellet stove, which needs electricity to work. Getting a new barrel and keeping it in my barn if things get to that point. I have about 2 acres of woods I can harvest if needed. I am getting a supply of oil for lamps. So I will have heat and light. Other than the usual storage of food and tools and ammo I dont really know what other ways to prepare either.
I would try and have several months of food on hand. Hey I’m a boring guy and it’s just me so I have large tubs of Peanut Butter and multi vitamins. This will buy you some time as you make the adjustments. It’s not a bad idea to have more than that. Make sure it’s calorie dense whatever you grow. Potatoes are excellent in that regard. Don’t waste time on very low calorie greens. That’s what the vitamins are for.
**Water is the most important and the easiest to overlook. Several days without and you are dead. Drink from a contaminated source and you will be dead as dehydration will be even faster once diarrhea and vomiting commence.
Prescriptions and medical supplies and batteries and light and heat sources will be very important as well. I know better than anyone once you start down this road it always feels like you are forgetting something and you undoubtedly will. Try not to be overwhelmed and understand whatever you can accumulate now is infinitely better than doing nothing.
I have a very deep well and a hand pump that can be attached. I also have 2 ponds stocked with fish so I can use that water for flushing toilets and bathing. I do have several fields that I used to board horses and raise sheep in before my arthritis got too bad. Maybe I will talk to some neighbors to see if anyone wants to raise animals here in exchange for some of what they produce. Lots of great ideas on here guys. Thank you!
Kim, would you ever use the pond water and filter that water for drinking, if ever needed?
I ask only because we also have a wildlife pond on our property.
We don’t have a pump for our well. We are considering getting water purification stuff so as a back up we could use the pond water if ever needed. I know little about water purification and will learn more about it.
Good idea on using the pond water for toilet flushing. Thanks!
I have a water gravity filter with extra filters just in case my pump breaks. No power required. I have had it for years but I dont think it was very expensive. It produces over a liter at a time using a ceramic candle(filter). My ponds are both spring fed and I had the water tested. A little high in a couple of areas that the filter would take care of. We have a lot of clay in the soil which does a nice job of filtering the water in my well. The hand pump with the extra length needed was under a hundred dollars 15 years ago. No idea how much it would be now but may be worth investing in that instead of a purifier with extra filters.
We used to lose power a lot out here and with 6 people the toilet got nasty. I learned that trick pretty quick!
Kim, thanks for your reply and info. i will check into this. Take care!
Freeze-dried food vacuum-packed in mylar with 20-year shelf life: https://mypatriotsupply.com/
So… I have friends who did an experiment once when they were in between housing situations. They had a large tract of land with a small lake/pond from a natural spring, several small rivers running through. The water was good. They moved a small storage unit onto the property, set up a bed, some chairs, inside the unit (as opposed to tent camping), brought the ol’ BBQ with them, etc. Had one of those porta-potties delivered to the property. They had their freeze dried “emergency foods” with them and some disposable dishes/cutlery. They had flashlights, etc. They aren’t really regular campers, and usually stay in nice hotels when they travel. It was a disaster as you can imagine and that freeze dried food tasted awful. After a few days of freezing their butts off, and trying to eat that stuff, they gave up, and went to a hotel. Since that time they’ve invested in making their home and property more resilient, and forged relationships with other like minded people.
But, I admired them for trying it all out. My two cents: most people will not be able to survive if they don’t have experience roughing it. A family should practice, at first just for 24 hours, without electricity during the summer and during the winter. After the initial shock, they can refine the approach. You don’t know what you don’t know, as they say.
Excellent advice, BFAW (first cousin to MEMAW haha) As a person who backpacked and rough camped with my two kids, I would like to add that when you rough it, you are not simply doing without the comforts of home. You need to be aware of the many positive things you can only experience when you are immersed in nature without your artificial shell(ter) — the same way you experience more when you grow your own vegetables than when you buy them at the supermarket. . You become immersed in the living world.
I will never make it, a few years back when a hurricane came thru we decided to stay even though we live across from the ocean. It was only a cat 1 and the hurricane the year before was about the same and we lost a few trees but no real damage. We evacuated for that one and our neighbor stayed and said we only lost electricity for 30 minutes so we figured we would ride this one out. Wrong choice, tornado hit down the street and my house felt like it moved, did not sleep all night. The worst part was we lost electricity for a week, I got over heated and almost had to go to hospital. We ended up at hotel for two weeks. Thought I was tough but I guess I’m not.
Lotta carbs here.
You must be self-sufficient with water. Capture sufficient rainwater, filter and purify, then store it. You must maintain your hygiene; Carefully selected location for an outhouse build, equip for all-weather, supplies and concealment. Secret cache of all-weather food and clothing not in your residence in case theft or government seizure leaves you seriously exposed to risk. And many more topics.
In lieu of outhouse:
Line a five gallon bucket with a large trash bag. Place a toilet seat on top of bucket. Hold a smaller plastic bag over posterior and sit down. Tie up small bag, drop in lined bucket.
– just sayin
Finally! Something within my level of capabilities that I could actually execute! Thanks.😂😍
Having zero debt is the only reason I’ve been able to get through these past two years. As someone once told me, you would be surprised how little money you really need when you have no debt. I feel bad for anybody trying to “manage” debt in this economy.
Agree. If it can be done, it should be. A worthy goal to work towards.
That is why I didn’t buy total dream home, but brought so no mortgage.
Yes I use my credit cards but only to keep up my credit scores.
The church I’m in is working with members so we can be self sufficient, along with help out each other and our neighbors if we can.
Excellent, excellent; I love the idea of church members helping each other! 🙂 That’s a GREAT idea for all of us to take to our local places of worship, develop a plan, and make it happen! 🙂
Credit scores are a scam. I use my credit card for online purchases for security reasons, but I pay it off so quickly that many times, my payment hits before the charge does, so I rarely if ever have a positive balance, and because of that, my credit score has been slowly ticking down since paying off my mortgage. The scam is that in order to have a good credit score, you must always maintain a certain amount of debt. If you have too much debt, your rating goes down; if you have too little debt, or no debt, your rating goes down. My best advice is to not worry about your credit rating.
Live in Mexico 🇲🇽
Two words – drug cartels.
We will be relocating to Mexico if Gavin is installed. Mexico pumps oil. One of the nice things is we know Mexico is corrupt going in!
We’ve mulled relocating to Mexico at some point down the road. But if lots of seniors on SS leave the US do you think there’s any chance our corrupt congress would stipulate one must live in the US to get ones SS check?
I do worry about congress making a change of that nature especially when one plans to exist mostly on SS each month.
If you are debt free, your 90 percent of the way there.
That and if you’re able, start taking SS. Make the feral gov pay for your existence. Can’t wait to see the COLA in January lol
Whatever it is, Medicare will obliterate it, and then some…
Medicare has 4 years before broke, SS has 6.
Yes…someone’s hands have been dipping in the cookie jar.
Western leaders will have us in such a tight spot, we’ll be begging for foreign assistance.
From whom exactly?
China most likely.
Puke! 🙁 That’s a hard NO–no way; ugh uh; not happening!!! 🙁
They already own us.
Federal Reserve
Nobody is coming to assist.
When it comes down to necessities, even private jet fuel might become dangerous to get near.
You mean like baby formula?
And to think, all of this complicated process comes down to one word: control.
Arrogant, power-hungry monsters.
…..and they must also know this was going to be very unpopular, thus the need to rig elections.
If they push this too fast, which they are, then you get Sri Lanka, and their illegitimate stooges flee for their lives.
Hungry people do desperate things.
Unfortunately, it may be more the case that you get Sri Lanka only if you have Sri Lankans.
I haven’t seen any western population come close to mass popular uprising in numbers too great to control.
Also, it says something about western governments that the Sri Lankan government didn’t attempt to use police force to harass, arrest, and eventually shoot at the Sri Lankan people. From what we have already seen with COVID, you have to assume western government and the police would be far more likely to use violence rather than let go of power.
They actually did shoot their people. Not many but even one is an abomination.
Notice the enemy, Congress, today made an admission that their hearings on making AR15s and like guns illegal is actually about confiscation.
Blabbermouth Nadler said it, Supreme Court rulings not withstanding.
As the Good Witch said to Dorothy in Oz (with one substitution), “Hang on to your weapons. Their magic must very powerful, or else they wouldn’t want them.”
Right on, Betsy! 🙂 ‘Love your posts by the way! 😉 I often learn a lot! 🙂
What a lovely thing to say, Faithful Patriot. Thank you.
I learn from everybody here. The most wonderful group of commenters anywhere. A community like no other.
At the onset of World War II. As the bad guys were winning.
Don’t insist that the good guys hit you over the head with the truth. Be a grown up.
Prepare for the evil in the best of times. Reagan knew.
I am a long time student of history and current events. As best as we can as seniors we have prepared.
I agree.
Even if Congress manages to pass a bill, and the Senate, because they’re all so compromised, managed to pass it, and whatever degenerate pResident signs it, we never, ever, give up our weapons. They can make it all ILLEGAL and we will laugh in their faces. One thing Americans are good at and that is playing Chicken. We know our rights are God given and not government given. They can even shred the Constitution and burn it publicly. We do not care. We will not comply. God be with us.
The law is dead in this country, and the left/libs/Dems killed it. One rule for one, one for another.
I think all right thinking people are sick and tired of waiting for the Rs to rise up on their hind legs and fight for the people who sent them to DC. They don’t know how.
So it will probably be up to us to play by the rules the Dems made. It will make them furious, because apparently when you treat people as they treat you, they get upset.
Let’s hope Senate Rs earn their taxpayer paid salaries and shoot this one down the minute it hits the floor. The stakes are existential.
We need to peacefully, but LOUDLY (and within the law), defend the Second Amendment with everything we’ve got–ALL OF US!!! General Flynn has been saying for quite a while that all of us need to get involved in our communities and/or local politics–school boards, city council, etc.
Something that Catherine Austin Fitts said long ago. Work where we have the most influence as opposed to the federal level, where we have none.
I agree 100% that we work where we have the most influence.
I agree 100% to peaceful noncompliance.
Until… they threaten me, my family, or property.
Then, I will defend it with all I’ve got.
If I die, I die, but at least I actually did stand for something important: Freedom
So right, so right! I hear a lot of threatening going on. I suspect they know what will happen if they try to carry those threats out. There isn’t enough manpower to disarm the whole country. That is, without their suffering serious losses as well. They need to think about that.
The notion of liberalism, of individual rights and freedoms, is now America and Americanism.
It is not the Enlightenment. How many in a thousand could identify this term the Enlightenment?
If the torch that is America goes out, only the black void of leftism remains. And the demonic Left knows it.
The left are vile creatures of that void. It is their natural home. Which is why they’ve done their utmost to destroy anything of value, which is our heritage, culture, history, anything of beauty. But above all, they want God gone. It offends their satanic natures. And such is their foul arrogance and atheism, they actually believe they’ll be successful.
Further, having taken over the “education” system in this country, they have buried or defiled all of it.
So I think you’re right. Mention The Enlightenment, and all you’ll get are blank stares.
Plus they will use AI and robots.
They shoot up pretty well, fun to watch.
Sorry, humans aren’t all that different.
If your kids are hungry you will find a way, even if it means putting these monsters’ heads on a pike.
But still, once these evil people are in Hell, we still have the basic problems they caused us to deal with.
Actually, I think maybe they are prepared for some uprisings.
Sri Lanka may be a test run.
Yes, the corrupt leaders fled, ….BUT there was an immediate call to ‘form a new government’ SO THAT the new government could begin talks with the IMF on an emergency aid package.
And WHO is going to ‘man’ this New Government?
A disgruntled shop keeper or farmer? No, they are going to call on someone with EXPERIENCE in government.
Who will negotiate for LOANS from the same IMF that imposed the ‘no fertiliser/all organic’ requirement, in the first place.
So, another version of “new boss, same as the old boss”, as we see happening in Britain.
Whether its a political insurrection, like in Britain, or a pitchfork revolt, as in Sri Lanka, they just move right back into positions of power, vacated by the predecessor.
The new Sri Lankan leader is a close colleague of the deposed one.
In Britain, the ex Goldman Sachs Schwab chosen candidate, Rishi Sunak, looks to be slipping badly against the Foreign Secretary under Johnson, Liz Truss.
She’s no Thatcher. In fact I know little about her affinities (or not) for the WEF. She seems none too bright or capable. But, assuming she is a British patriot, if she prevents Sunak from the office, I’ll consider that, for the moment, a sweet victory.
The proof of the pudding we won’t know until it’s a done deal.
Why would you assume for a second that this woman is a British patriot? There will be nothing sweet of her victory.
She is a Neocon’s neocon. Will immediately work to rejoin the EU (she’s a “remain” diehard), defines victory in Ukraine as a return of Crimea to Russia and will aggressively push for war. Open borders and free trade is the order of the day.
The Indian banker is obviously nearly as bad – the delight in Sunak is seeing an Indian (a severely compromised Indian) running England. The colony has become the colonizer and we’ve come full circle. Diversity worshipping England will get exactly what it deserves.
England is finished. It’s over.
Actually, she has disavowed her Brexit stance. Does she mean it? I have no idea. But people do change. I cast a gimlet eye on her in any event.
And yes. I do agree with you. Britain is well and truly done. You can take the fork out now.
…and once the new WEF stooge ‘also’ doesn’t restore food, then what?
People, know when they are starving, and their children are crying from hunger.
If whatever government forms that doesn’t solve these basic needs; will be gone soon as well.
My fear is that the WEF stooges have already sabotaged food production and the general economy, that no government can recover it, even if run by Patriots, top to bottom.
At some point, math and physics take over.
May be why they are still pushing it hard here WE haven’t pushed back enough to get their attention.
Sri Lanka just I talked a WEF alum as president I think
“People who resist the New World Order will have the help and protection of God.”
His Excellency Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.
I believe him.
Counting on it. God bless and protect Archbishop Vigano!
Amen, john.
Was this from one of his letters to DJT, or something more recent?
Very recent, in one of his addresses to us as the flock of the Good Shepherd.
Amen, Bet.
CR, I have come to believe, as I’ve said so many times, that Almighty God speaks through this good man and servant of his Lord.
I view him as the true Pope, and I hear his words as the true words of the Church. Not so the bleatings of the antipope Bergoglio.
Bergoglio has sold his soul in my view. He sent a message to European youth recently to consume less meat, and to consume less fuel. No mention of Christ. He has publicly announced his allegiances.
I second that!
test
Counting on it. God bless and protect Archbishop Vigano!
See above, john. I did answer both your posts.
Was this from one of his letters to DJT, or something more recent?
He has issued many pronouncements? statements? missives? addressed to ,…basically the World.
Spot on, calling out ALL the WEF, Klause and company, etc.
Not just letters to DJT.
TGP usually has them, when he puts out a new one.
And Lifesite.
The evil attracts the stupid.
The stupid attracts the evil.
Hello, AOC!
She bores me.
Amen, he is the Pope and thus the vicar of Christ on Earth at this point.
I tend to think of him as God’s emissary. I’ve never seen such a cleric whose innate goodness and love for people absolutely radiates from him.
Yes Betsy, even if the road becomes treacherous, I believe He will never leave our side.
Promises made by Him are always kept. Especially when the road is treacherous. Of this, we have always been assured. Amen.
Our children and grandchildren will live lives of hardship with limited options, while these people and their offspring live lives of indescribable excess and wealth.
At what point, do the people rise up?
When brave people have had enough pain.
More than that, Fangdog.
Let’s say it out loud: people will rise up when they are willing to be arrested, tortured and killed. When will that be? Sadly, when they determine they have nothing more left to use, which is usually too late, if history is any indicator.
Personally think that armed defense of productive farm land and any crops we’ll be able to produce will be coming. We’ll be scaling back operations after this coming harvest
I’m Irish & we need a different plan!
The mad rush at the border is an attempt to import a large group of persons unfamiliar with rising up against the oligarchy…
However…others have a more optimistic view… Col Kurt Schlicter for one…
Fix the Military First!
“Social media is the communications vehicle of the future whether we like it or not. The censorship of conservatives and Christians, and most especially conservative Christians, by big tech is a huge problem,” Brett Bozell Media Research Center
Keep them away from this website!
Agree.
At what point, do the people rise up?
After Christ tells us to, with any luck, the delay between His command and our action will be the briefest moment of this fight. Best I can tell, God is gathering an army now and the ranks haven’t quite been bolstered with those He has decided will be in it.
I know not where this fight will go and perhaps liberty will only be achieved when Christ comes back himself. But, since He is only here inside us, then I am to assume that we may still have a chance of holding off the hordes destined for Hell with Him inside us.
But, who knows, maybe this is the beginning of the last fight and even if we fight our best with Him in us, He will decide to make his triumphant return. Regardless, freedom and liberty lives on as long as we don’t kill it inside ourselves.
Firstly, you seperate the wheat from the chaff, …
The # of people who “just live their lives, and don’t get involved in politics or religion” is getting smaller and smaller.
People are being forced by these events, to pick a side.
Think of this like the point where Moses came down of the mountain, broke the tablets, and drew a line in the sand, that would soon run red with blood.
Pick a side. Your either WITH me, or yer agin me, there ain’t no straddling the line.
Got to sort out who is on which team, before you can start to scrimmage.
In a small way, I drew my line in the sand over c19. I refused to comply with what I could see were wrongful actions. I refused to take an experimental gene therapy injection. I refused to participate in the fear porn and censorship and rejection of loved ones, even though I myself was rejected by these so-called Christians. To me, it was like a mini separation of the wheat from the chaff. I could see clearly who in my extended family would willingly comply “for the greater good” that did not exist. I could see who was easily manipulated, even if they, for good reason, decided to comply – their compliance was emotional, not logical, and in some cases financial. It was sad and fascinating at the same time.
I too saw it as a winnowing.
“I too saw it as a winnowing.” So do the globalists.
One of Klaus’ buddies said that, those who essentially volunteered to remove themselves from the gene pool are no great loss.
You mean those who refused the vaccination/ The vaccination which does not prevent Covid ? The vaccination which screws up women’s menses ? That gene pool?
Yes, I am talking about the fully human gene pool. The one untainted by gene edits and frontal lobe updates.
The gene pool that God created. That one.
Globalists are not satisfied to render us sterile or dead. They intend to damn our souls with the mark of the beast.
We must prepare to defend the Temple of the Living God at any and all costs.
NOW!
When they will risk their own lives to battle Evil so that their loved ones can live in Peace!
Hard times make hard people
So many ways to prepare.
My #1 resource is my Bible.
Tad, I agree. I’m memorizing Scripture in prep for the day I’m hauled off to the gulag.
I have lived in my house for 18 years. We always pay our mortgage via check on time every month. Never, ever have been late. I have a banking app on my phone to see when checks have cleared. I noticed twice in the past 3 months that my mortgage bank, Chase, has “sat on my check for 2 weeks”. When I called the bank to ask what’s going on, they say a computer glitch and low and behold the next day the check clears. I’m just a regular American citizen, but games and shit are going on at the banks affecting the little guy!
Chase, BofA, Wells Fargo etc. are some of the big banks going along with all of this Build Back Better B.S. I don’t know your financial situation, but if I had originally secured a mortgage with one of these banks I would be considering re-financing my mortgage through a financial institution that I felt more comfortable with. Rates have gone up over the last few months but if you could find a rate comparable to what you are paying now it would feel good to “stick it to the man” for causing unnecessary grief to the people who go out of their way to do the right thing and pay back their debts on time.
You have no say in who buys your mortgage. When I refinanced, I asked that it would not be sold to wells Fargo. I was assured it wouldn’t be–but it was. I at least got a great rate but refinancing again to get rid of wells Fargo would be stupid.
It won’t matter, the notes are sold instantly.
Correctomundo. No one has control over who ends up holding that paper.
Scary.
If you only owe a small amount after paying for 18 years, it might be worth considering to pay off your mortgage in full by getting a personal loan or even cash from your credit cards. It would be a bit more expensive, but your home ownership would be way more secure.
Obviously these totalitarians will be able to confiscate your property anytime they feel like it.
I am unsure (not confident) that titles or documents of ownership will be ‘worth the paper they are printed on’ if we either get full blown totalitarianism (how much did the deeds, mortages etc. mean for Jews in Nazi Germany, for example) or if we have anarchy.
If we go full mad max, it may be what you own is what you can defend against any who would try to take it.
I will live in my house. If the elite take it by hook or crook I hope they enjoy the cement slab as that is all that will be left.
Yep. Property taxes. Watch them get unaffordable real soon.
You should listen to the way your local county officials talk about…sometimes they are worse than state of fed.
Secure? Federal Property taxes are coming. These taxes will be raised to the point where you can no longer pay. And your property will be confiscated by the Feds. That’s when the shooting starts.
I said ” MORE secure.” The thing will proceed by increments, and at least he would be buying time.
Keep your head up; be smart; don’t just indulge in dark thoughts. The right path is always the positive path, under any circumstances.
I think you are onto something. Humanity has so many failed civilizations in its wake. Maybe this time we should try something different. Maybe we should follow God’s lead for a change. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
I thought the shooting would start when they went after our 401Ks and pensions via inflation. Probably gonna have to wait until those ebt cards no longer buy steaks and lobster.
I had my suspicions when pot was finally legalized and CBD became all the rage. They want us doped up and lazy so we don’t fight back.
Did the same thing. I write
check mail it around the 27 or 28 each month. July note did not post until the
20th , yesterday. Now i dont know if its the bank or slow mail but this has
happened the lasy 3 months.
It may be worth getting a “proof of mailing” when you send it. You’d need to stand in line at the post office and fill out a little slip that they then stamp with the mailing date. It shows who sent it and where it was sent. It used to cost $1.15, but that has probably gone up. Even if it’s $2.00, it is worth having for proof if they ever try to foreclose. Maybe even make a copy of it and send it along with the following month’s payment with a little note that asks to have payment timely applied. That may give them a little scare.
Ask if you can direct debit or pay via online portal. I would not trust USPS ever, even less than the banks.
At Wells Fargo and probably other banks a wire transfer under a certain amount is free if done on the app. See if you can pay via wire transfer. Cut out their games.
Its against the law for them to hold your money on their books, has been for 30 years, and and they do it anyway.
Gambling with Americans livelihoods again…
Seems familiar.
All about power and control. Zero to do with the climate.
I would advise them to stop before it’s too late. But they won’t…
@Sundance
“[O]verall less goods are produced because less consumer spending is taking place.”
“[B]ecause less goods are being transported. ”
*Fewer* goods. Typo.
“This means less jobs.”
*Fewer* jobs. Typo.
Cheerio.
@Sundance I edited the above and added one more. “Fewer jobs.”
Your writing is terrific. Forgive my bloodthirsty editing. Lol.
I know what they want to do, but I don’t believe they will be able to do it.
Me neither, carnale.
Obviously, they’re doing it daily.
The way it looks.
Food lines, gas lines, less medication and finally, the old are not useful anymore.
Forced insurrection against all western governments. In the case of America, they will do their best to take your guns, Military personnel will be selected based on their willingness to comply and so on.
There IS another angle on this worth investigating.
Tom Luongo believes that WEF & Co. seek to change the monetary system over in such a way that there’s no more room for traditional banking. JPM and Jamie Dimon see their entire agenda as an existential threat.
Blackrock and Vanguard, on the other hand, are on board the woke agenda.
Tom believes the ECB is broke, and their NEGATIVE sovereign interest rates certainly suggests disfunction.
Back in Sept 2019, while Reverse Repo rates abrupt ran up to 10% for overnight treasuries, folks asked what is going on? Recently, various folks have said that as of that point, US banks would no longer take european sovereign debt as collateral. This detail is just to highlight the ECB’s issues.
But Lagarde and the ECB are behind the WEF move. So Powell is raising rates, and will keep raising rates until offshore dollar funding evaporates, and the ECB folds, and new leadership takes root in Europe.
Better to tune in Luongo’s blog for vids and details, but this sets up a VERY DIFFERENT DYNAMIC.
Like it or not, if you don’t want the WEF taking over The West, it may be time to side with JPM+GS+WFC until the dust clears. Yes, most ironically, given the Occupy movement. And those three say they will support J-Po until the project is over. Like in the boardgame RISK, you take your allies wherever you can find them. Yeah, this may appear to be a stretch, and more than a tad distasteful. The entire game board changes if this is correct. gold guns goats is the blog.
Yes, Ive been listening to Tom as well. I would love if his his theory is true. It would give a glimmer. Of hope that the really difficult time would be over within a few years. Check out the podcast everyone, its worthwhile.
Yikes, acronym city to those of us not in the field…
So, I did a search and my guess is that ECB stands for European Central Bank?
I already know – thanks to sundance – that WEF is World Economic Forum.
JPM I’m guessing is J.P. Morgan, GS Goldman Sachs, and WFC? No idea. Trying another search. Maybe World Finance Corporation? I’m guessing it’s not World Fish Center…
Is J-Po Jerome Powell, or what?
Your information is very interesting to me but it’s like doing a word puzzle!
wells fargo
I’m with you, Steph. Nuns taught from grade school through grad, the first use of an initialism is always accompanied by the term spelled out. Formerly considered a courtesy to the reader. Their convenience becomes your workload. I call it trickle down workload. 😒 Harrumph!!
Tom Luongo posits that Powell & Dimon are acting to destroy Davos (ECB) to keep federal control over the dollar and to preserve commercial banks in the US.
Interest rate hikes are particularly destructive to the ECB due to money moving from negative (EU) interest rates to the more positive (US) interest rates.
Luango explains that this will soak up all the Eurodollars around the world, particularly in the EU which effectively defunds the DAVOS.
I’m not well versed in economic matters, so apologies in advance if I’ve misstated Luongo’s thoughts.
I knew there would be winners and losers in Ogabe’s Economic Assault on America. This makes sense.
This is why we have the Second Amendment. I’m dead serious.
Obviously Nonads is working to make the 2A moot.
There are several problems with this…printed money flows into the sea of deep state corruption, why would we expect that to stop? The Fed isn’t serious about fighting inflation with rate hikes they would have raised rates sooner, and to higher levels by now. Also we can’t afford to finance massive debt and deficits without inflating our way out of debt.
Retired Magistrate here: My long term plan is already set; I have my reservation: it is called Heaven where I will spend eternity with JESUS CHRIST, who died for my sins. No global re set plan can pluck me from HIS hands.
Good for you. I’ll stay earthbound and slog it out in the trench making piles of brass.
Hope I am with you on that one. Retired, but have not made any reservations.
”Prepare your informed long-term affairs accordingly.“
I for one would be interested in a separate thread where the above was elaborated on and treepers shared their own thoughts.
I think it would be beneficial and help the resistance!
Yes, we do need a place for certain info that can be added to and read anytime. I know nothing about server needs software needs but hope it can be done.
I’m not sure how you can create demand destruction causing a reduction in energy prices, while interfering with energy production and trade thereby raising prices. As long as these clowns are running the show, energy prices will stay high, regardless of economic recession.
I think its a safe bet that no one, no group has ever before attempted what these insane idiots are attempting, on multiple levels.
Yes, Henry Ford changed society from horses to autos, creating the demand, to justify the mass production that would enable economy of scale to lower the price so that the masses could afford the cars,….but people WANTED cars.
And, when it comes to making changes to lifestyle, the desire is everything.
Nobody wants to make the lifestyle changes that are actually neccesary, and so they just don’t talk about them.
But they are readily apperent, they can’t hide them.
If you decide, say on a bet to eat a fried cricket, thats ONE thing.
If anyone tries to FORCE you, thats a fight.
Free will, making the DECISION makes all the difference.
That’s the point. It supposedly makes the switch to “renewables” “more economical”.
I have horses. That gives me fertilizer, a big garden, and transportation. Methane? What methane?
A wise man once said, “Everyone had a plan until they get punched in the face.”
Good will not be mocked.
The “punch” is coming.
Shrinking the western economy also reduces the funding of missionaries.
This is the spiritual reason behind what is happening.
Mike Tyson is a wise man?
Who knew?
https://www.commit.works/everyone-has-a-plan-until-they-get-punched-in-the-mouth/
He’s been reading Dr. Sowell.
That’ll do it.
“Shrinking the western economy also reduces the funding of missionaries.
This is the spiritual reason behind what is happening.”
Something is off about this assumption and it keeps leading back to the premise of “missionaries need money”.
The entire “Build Back Better” philosophy is a fraud. The western “leaders” are being put up to it by our enemies (China, Russia, Iran, etc..) in order to destabilize our countries, at which point we can be easily conquered- or so they think.
Every last globalist should be tried & hung for treason, even if they are too stupid to understand what they are doing (Biden).
The western leaders are our enemies! The bankers, corporations and govt. are the same. The bankers control western governments. We should not even pay federal tax on our labor. The bankers steal this money and our productivity from us. Big tech companies are the govt. They get their special loans from the bankers. It is one giant international family that works to subvert nations and they always start with banking and usury. Always! Notice big banks, big tech, big media, big pharma, big everything have something in common? It is not that they are Iranian, Chinese or Russian.
Brazille, china, Russia, India, saudi Arabia, iran, Hungary,Africa and all the rest of the countries scrambling to join brics will enjoy GREAT prosperity with lot’s of cheap oil to fuel their economies.
I read somewhere that 60% of the Brics. Nations. Have nukes..
While only 10% of NATO and the eu have them.
So much for the stick only approach to climate change foreign Policy.☺
Here’s a solution : https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-07-21-cold-fusion-commercial-breakthrough-could-end-food-and-energy-scarcity.html
Cold fusion – but I’ll bet the it will be ignored or bought and hidden
Kinda wish someone with big bucks would get behind it
nah
Because it’s not really about the climate or clean energy.
Exactly
Adams has this wrong. Fusion, cold or hot is not a solution.
Thorium reactors are efficient and reasonably clean but the technology got shelved because it would benefit the people.
Thank you for this informative article. As depressing as it is, I hope more people become aware of what’s happening.
This aptly describes a “transition plan” by lead by people in government (politicians, economists, bankers and academics) who have never physically developed and built anything in their lives. It is all bottom line dollar driven by Paul Krugman spawned theories. There are no material details, why sweat the details??
There is no planned “smooth physical transition”. It is all brute force with absolutely no thought of the pain and suffering nor time it will take to actually stand-up the BBB Plan. Notice how the only physical deadline is all related to when fossil fuels STOPS and there is no physical schedule as to when their utopia actually starts to function.
The only two certainties is this whole “plan” is the date the spigots and mines are turned OFF or CLOSED, while the “defined” elite WILL HAVE all they need to be comfortable. That was the lesson of maskless visits to salons by Pelosi, Comrade Obama’s 1,000 elite celebrity birthday party under a tent with NO restrictions, maskless appearance in public by other elites … during the height of the sham-demic.
The build back better is a lie . There is no real understanding of how it would work. It’s a lie plain and simple.
Their purpose is to destroy, steal ,and kill.
That’s what demons do.
Everyday another scripture is fulfilled.
Russia, Iran,and Turkey just formed an alliance this week.( they hate each other)
Today Russia stopped 165,000 Jews from being able to immigrate to Israel.
Ezekiel 38 &39 describes that alliance. That Russia with those and other nations will invade Israel.
Then Jesus will return so that everyone will know who’s Lord over all.
Knowing him protects us from fear of the future.
We get our meat from local producers but pretty much down to Beef and Bacon now. We have a little box garden but plan bigger next yr
What this means to me is the next President should pull out and dust off JFKs Executive Order, write Powell the $100 dollar check on the U S Tresury, and tell the Fed their services are no longer needed.
The vital is that the “Transition” is from liberty to dictatorship.
The various means to this end are incidental.
First they came for your gas car. Then your gas generator. Gas rec vehicles. Gas motor sports. Night athletics. Night store openings. We need that juice for the grid to charge elec cars. For the greater good of course.
Again! It’s the diabolical bastards in global banking. I’ve seen this for an extended time and am gaining further affirmation and insight to how they have plundered the world, and plunged it into multiple wars. They have a front row seat in Hell because that is their origin
The ‘hope and change’ BO always yammered on about.
“I HOPE I will at least be able to keep the CHANGE in my pocket!”?
They need stock markets in the United States and Western Europe to remain artificially inflated throughout this transition.
A complete stock market crash would put an end to all of this, but it would also hurt a lot of Americans.
The WEFs goal is by 2030. If the repubs win back control of the Politburo will they throw sand in the machinery?
My confidence in that happening is zero to none.
I plan on managing their transition, which involves weenie removal. Step right up…
You go, girl!
If you need a gopher, let me know. I will happily provide you with an assembly line of 5 gallon buckets for you to toss them in to. When you’re done we’ll have a huge bonfire and roast all those weenies into ash!!! :))
If interest rates are raised and spending across the board is less, we will have a depression which will be the worst since the 1930s. If the government steps in and throws money around, like green new deal, giving subsidies to all the low income peopls, and more, we will eventually have …. Zimbabwe. Which do you want? I don’t want Zimbabwe.
Keep it up. See what happens. They may not get the “transition” they think they will get.
I have made a point to walk my crazy dogs around as much local State forest and WMA land to identify areas for foraging and to locate as many game trails as possible in order to try to make myself feel more prepared for the inevitable. Then the realization hits that I am in peninsula of 20+ million people, and the city dwellers will be crawling all over my woods when the Big Ugly hits.
But half of them (plus .05% trannies) will be wearing spike heels, and thus at a disadvantage.
Not to mention how easy it is for the mosquitoes to poke through tight yoga pants.
So many factors to consider…
“….people being impacted by a prolonged economic recession will need subsidies in order to survive.”
Welfare will become universal and renamed as a universal income; that’s why they have been trial balloon testing “universal income” in many areas. When everyone needs welfare they rename it universal income.
They say we can own our own farm and ant farm. Hum
Like I’ve said Trump is bad for business. As with JFK to rich to control. I miss the Donald I served many years in the Air Force I would never serve today love my country but this is my not America anymore. Are we willing to stand up and be counted or will we go along to get along??? I fear the later is the answer to my question.
There have been two dominant ideas in human history. One great, one bad. Choose, choose now.
The American Revolution – individual human rights and liberal democracy. This requires tolerance of differing opinions, which drives leftists nuts. Notice that the modern media is most dedicated to stifling differing opinions. Occasionally a differing voice, like Donald Trump, will navigate around all the barriers. No one like Trump, and certainly not Trump himself, will meander through all the barriers in the near future.
Feudalism – When all the shouting is done, all versions of leftism passionately require a return to feudalism. A few rich and powerful people ruling a sea of peasants. Hillary lost in 2016 because she simply could not bear to campaign amidst the hoi polloi, the great sea of peasants. It was beneath her.
Did the Democrats learn they must campaign in 2020? Ha Ha! Biden and Kamala campaigned almost not at all. They just cranked up the campaign fraud. On a Spinal Tap scale of 1 to 10, the fraud was an 11.
I just came across a quote from Lenin, calling Mussolini a “first-rate” man. The enormous hoax of calling fascists “far-right” is a long-standing fraud of the intellectual Left.
America and Americanism, or barbaric, anachronistic feudalism. In this case, our reality is most surely binary or Manichaeism or freaking black and white.
And please stop citing the magical powers of the Constitution. You fight for these ideals or they die.
Yes…they are commonly referring to this attitude as “Neofeudalism”…which like most problems started in California, and has spread to everywhere there is High Speed Internet and a “Tech Oligarchy”
Think cities Austin, Ogden, Nashville, as well as any town with a noticeable University Population…
Even Eastern Washinton(WSU)/Northern Idaho(UofI) are not immune…
And you can be sure that heresy such as this will not be allowed on any campus…
PS: you had better be searching for this info, and reading commenting on this and other sites by at least two anonymizing methods…less you be moved to the top of the mandatory compliance list…
As the need for relief rises and Congress and the State decide to hand out more money to help those less fortunate, prepared, or self-reliant then we will get more monetary inflation added onto the energy price increases causing more misery but, like FDR before they will believe they are being helped. New Deal, Build Back Better, it’s just branding and sloganeering for the same old same old. Greatly supported by Keynesian economists determined to intervene at every turn and use their great knowledge and wisdom to manage this economy for the better for everyone they think and deride the Austrian camp for being do nothings and hating them for being lectured about their constantly foolish interventions. Like Darwinists, they claim there simply cannot be an invisible hand, a God. Unlike Darwin, they abhor natural selection in favor of their own intelligent design. Amazing how the selections always benefit a few, those most politically connected and favored.
I was tickled to recently learn, thanks to Dr. Peter Breggin, that Darwin actually believed in God. His popularizers [polluters??] gave him a bad rap. Breggin details this in his wonderful book, “Guilt Shame and Anxiety, Understanding and Overcoming Negative Emotions.” Worth reading on many levels.
As soon as the shooting is over we can begin to rebuild our country.
“Prepare your informed long-term affairs accordingly.”
How?
Growing your own food makes you a target for roving marauders, which means you need an army to defend your castle, and nobody has an army, and nobody is going to have an army, because housing and feeding and paying an army requires State level resources.
You could invest in precious metals, but if you invest at the wrong time — and right before a large stock market decline would usually be a wrong time — and the prices of precious metals takes a large dump, you have only succeeded in destroying your purchasing power even faster than losing it to inflation by leaving cash in the bank.
If you happen to invest at the right time, how long will it be before private marauders, or government marauders, seize it?
You could move to a red or redder state, but that doesn’t help anyone who already lives in a red state, and in fact, makes it worse for those who already live in red states, because the people fleeing blue states never leave their ideology behind that turned their home state into a 3rd world *&^%hole to begin with. They bring it with them, in order to create a new 3rd world *&^%hole.
You could move out of the country, but to what country would you go, when TPTB effectively control them all?
You could move off-planet, but have you seen the prices for oxygen in outer space? Assuming you can even find an oxygen station? Not to mention fuel and heating costs. Besides that, it’s lonely out in space. And that doesn’t even take into account the cost of rockets to leave earth, not to mention the difficulty in obtaining home financing if you happen to land on an unbanked planet.
It is nice to be informed, it’s good, but in the absence of any viable options — how does one prepare?
It’s sad that 0.0000000001% of the population is allowed to wreck the lives of 99.9999999999% of the population.
If only there was something the 99.9999999999% could do, to stop the 0.0000000001%…
What else can Atlas do under the weight of the heavens, but shrug?
“What else can Atlas do under the weight of the heavens, but shrug?”
He could stop the motor of the world.
Identify the members of the international criminal cabal.
Let the People remove the monsters from power, by whatever means suits their fancy.
Please Breathe…People fleeing the “Blue States” are often economic or political refugees…I hope to leave at some point, and am not a pariah, or have bad ideas…its just my neighbors don’t vote the way, think the way, or care about what I do…at least when they don’t have any stake in the outcome…be glad that the blue states have taken most all of the countries’ “feral homeless” over for you…
Not great for us stuck (money, business, time)…more “kulaks” than you might care consider, and we are not the enemy!
COVID put the escape plans of many of us on hold…I want to come to Y’all as a co-equal…not as a “reverse dust bowl” refugee…
I understand that, I was not referring to patriots behind enemy lines in blue states 👍
Interest rates set below private capital accumulation, below market rates of what a willing lender would loan to a willing borrower (absent government – the Fed and other Central Banks forcing down interest rates by buying their own debt) is precisely what has got us into this inflation and productivity destroying mess in the first place.
Inflation at 8 to 20% in real terms and Central Banks at ZERO to 1.75% has destroyed price discovery. But it certainly has served the purpose of increasing Government Spending and making the Non-Productive Class richer.
The only way any of these policies end is total economic collapse of the west. When western oil collapses from lack of investment, economic activity will come to a halt. There will be no green energy because the western populations will implode into chaos, riots, starvation and ultimately, suicide. What I don’t get, is why the west thinks the rest of the world will go along with any of this. The Brics and third world will be the last countries standing, without having to a shot – third world countries because they are used to poverty and the Brics because they will have all the energy, thus all the wealth.
The BRICS have their own problems, not least of which is their own indebtedness often help in dollars. As the dollar rises, so does their debt.
Also, the West imports about 80% of what China and SE Asia produces. As we import less, what happens to China? It implodes. Since China’s housing market is the biggest sector in their economy in size, and it’s now imploding, the CCP is going to have its hands full internally to not collapse.
These lunatics are going to crash and burn with all the knobs they are twisting at the same time:
Crushing the oil industry
Crushing airlines and airplane manufacturers, airports, the hospitality industry
Big pharma killing and maiming millions
The southern border invasion of useless eaters
Destroying farmers, Big Ag and the food supply
A war in Ukraine!
The world going off the petro dollar
No one could have possibly gamed out all these variables going haywire at the same time to think they can achieve their goals.
In essence “Managing The Transition” will allow more transition of wealth into the hands of these few, a kind of money laundering play.
This has inklings of the 70’s specifically the Carter years when he and Paul Volkner took interest rates to around 18.5% on a Mortgage. We had the malaise index, gas lines, told where to set the thermostat, inflation was out of control and unemployment was through the roof. Carter cured my last remaining liberal tendencies and remember Carter gave us Reagan, Barry gave us President Trump, B-B-B-Biden may give us Revolution, we’ll see.
Like a dog returning to his vomit these globalist swine are at it again.
I say again, this all ends when we put our foot down and Just Say No! They do not have the consent of the governed, maybe it’s getting time for lamppost decorations to come back into vogue.
The lead WEF goon, Klaus, isn’t even American citizen and has zero right to even dream of governing America, much less the entire globe.
I’d be happy to see Klaus decorate the first lamppost, Kissinger second, and third, Gates.
Have notice these transitions borne by government happen every 10-15 years. It’s as though politicians cannot help themselves in efforts to interfere with our lives.
Starting with the 1791 Excise Whisky Tax which impacted farmers with excess grain, they were forced to pay recovery of Federal government assumption of state debts.
Fast forward 2008 – Banks sell insurance to corporations while loaning 125% of home values and collapsed the economy. All directed by government entity known as Freddie Mac that guaranteed those 125% mortgages to unqualified loan takers. Government goal was to get more poor folks into homes to create wealth for them. Government policies merged with banking destroyed real estate market.
Now 14 years later, fraudulent elected president vowed to destroy the energy sector which the entire economy is based on. Without energy businesses don’t create or sell products and close doors.
Government must stop creating policies that destroy our economy. 535 representatives must walk to the White House and DEMAND a reversal of this administrations energy policies.
For that I think you need in the neighborhood of 525 entirely different representatives. Because UniParty.
This is assuming something like maybe 10 or so are already what we need – for example, Marjorie Taylor Greene. She would be leading that parade.
Even with a complete revolution couldn’t get the Senate overturned in one cycle… Just sayin’.
However, the House turns over every time. Worthy goal.
The safest strategy is to vote incumbents out. Especially those who are entrenched. Draining the swamp is like flushing the toilet. We can’t keep that stuff around too long.
