“Gaslighting” is essentially a term used to describe an abuser continually lying to victim in order to make the victim misbelieve reality.
Economic “gaslighting” is a process of lying about the nature of true cause in order to continue advancing the abusive policy.
Combine the economic gaslighting with the historic leftist approach of pretending not to know things, and you get this dynamic on CBS Face the Nation today. In this brief segment describing inflation, we see all the classic strategies deployed by ideological media.
First, notice they blame: (1) the pandemic recovery, (2) consumer demand, (3) Ukraine, and (4) a supply chain ‘muddle’. Not only are these issues ridiculous, but none of them are the cause of supply side inflation. Blaming “consumer demand,” which has transparently collapsed for the last year, is beyond nonsense. WATCH, and also pay attention to the graphics they use to manipulate the audience:
The true cause of inflation, and yes that includes ‘global inflation‘, is the collective western economy jump into climate change energy policy known as “build back better.” Stopping the use of oil, gas and coal as the source for cheap energy, has resulted in every element of the inflation they outline.
As an outcome of their ideology, the central banks of the western economies are now trying desperately to lower economic activity to reduce energy consumption. The goal is to lower human activity to the point where windmills and solar farms can sustain it. Everything else is pretending.
.
Notice the synergy between the western economies who are following the Build Back Better climate change instructions from the World Economic Forum (yellow map) to the actions of the central banks who are trying to support the political agenda (blue map).
Coming out of the pandemic, western oil, coal and gas energy development was blocked. Immediately energy prices skyrocketed, driving up the costs of everything. Using the justification of “too much demand” the central banks (including the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank) are raising interest rates to lower the need for energy.
Western political leaders are pretending this is not a collective intention.
This is all being done by specific design.
Controlling a global population; controlling human activity; is the collective goal.
Show me the powerful political voice who will stop pretending and call this process out directly, and I will show you the most powerful global politician in history of the modern world.
…Who is John Galt?
This is why they are trying so hard to eliminate him.
It is hard to understand why any plutocrat would want to jeopardize his fortunes by actively working to destroy the foundations of the economy that created that fortune. Those foundations are entirely the product of cheap, efficient energy.
It is also hard to understand how anyone in power could actually be stupid enough to believe the Climatists and their Popular Delusions of imminent danger to the Earth by burning ‘fossil’ fuels.
Yet I don’t doubt that Sundance is at least partly right that the current inflation is based on plutocrats and officials working to destroy the foundations of Western economy.
But why? Where’s their financial interest? In short-term bound-to-fail boondoggles like Solyndra? It makes no sense.
Unless perhaps the idea is to destroy the Western economy to make room for some kind of tyrannical collectivist utopia, where they will be the sole rulers. . .
It is a war.
The global elites believe in scarcity and climate change and want hoard the planet’s resources for themselves. Thus the drive to kill off as many pensioners as possible, so the resources to keep them alive aren’t expended. This was the reason for the “plandemic” and the banning of already known effective treatments.
AI and a much smaller contingent of serfs will keep the elites in the lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed.
Or, at least, that’s what they think. But, as any rational observer knows, they’re stark raving mad.
Mad Hatter’s Tea Party!
We all fell down the rabbit hole!
Wake me up from this surrealistic nightmare.
It is truly unbelievable!
“Yet I don’t doubt that Sundance is at least partly right” He is right
And you answered your own question,
“Unless perhaps the idea is to destroy the Western economy to make room for some kind of tyrannical collectivist utopia, where they will be the sole rulers. . .”
They aren’t jeopardizing their fortunes. They got to the top, and now they are pulling the ladder up so they can’t be followed. They are fully dependent on trillions in government counterfeiting each year. And they get the trillions and we don’t, they win, we lose.
Ding, ding, ding.
Correct answer.
Add in the wealth to be generated for themselves through the carbon credit system and you will begin to see the trillions of dollars these plutocrats see as their “rewards”.
Trillions will buy nothing when there is nothing to buy.
It’s Not about money any more. They have all they need. Now it’s time to be rid of the useless eaters. The Rewilding of America is part of the plan. Read Agenda 21. It did not write itself. Clowerd and Piven, read it ,the Creature from Jekyll Island, read the book or watch YouTube, G.Edward Griffin, YouTube videos by Charlotte Iserbyt, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America. She was high up in the DOE. It stops looking Stewpid when the big picture comes into focus
also, “Camp of the Saints“, criminal border invasion envisioned long ago (planned?)
The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. There is no master plan by satan. He is heading to eternal fire and wants to take as many with him as possible through deception and chaos. Why else would someone like Zuckerburg spend a half billion dollars to install a government to trash both the economy and his business?
👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸 MAGA
I think we hinder our cause for smaller, less authoritarian government when we conflate price increases with inflation. Long term, I think we will be better served by insisting that inflation is an increase in the money supply: pumping (i.e. counterfeiting) money into the economy like pumping air into a balloon. Price increases are a symptom of inflation. They are also a symptom and maybe a goal of market manipulation. Just like a runny nose is a symptom of a flue and also a symptom of allergic reaction. Same symptom, different causes.
But the term “inflation” should be directly correlate to the act of counterfeiting money by banks and governments. Always. When we conflate the terms it causes mass confusion and, therefore, advantage to the anti-human globalists.
Foot stomp!
They hate him because their tyranny against this …one man … who accomplished so much, despite all their illegal slings and arrows—
has shed a big glaring spotlight for all the world to see.
Liberty vs. tyranny
Light vs. darkness
Construction vs. destruction
OR:
Good vs. evil
God bless him!🙏
and the US. We need God’s blessing but it is up to us to use his Power to defeat this Dark enemy.
I’m not a Christian in the Wesleyan Methodist definition of which I was raised but I know evil when I see it and I’ve seen it in
so many D’s as well as R’s that it makes me sick.
So I agree with you that this is a spiritual battle.

Don’t forget all those TRILLIONS in ridiculous deficit spending. They also are contributing to inflation.
Nice, SD. Call these heathens out for what they are. D, R, L ( i’m talking to you Mister Paul)!
They have tried very hard to eliminate him (OUR TRULY AND LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT) and even after ramsacking his home like the CRIMINALS THEY ARE he is still thriving and letting more and more Americans know how evil and corrupt our own government is.
The government that is SUPPOSED to be for the People and OF the People is just a wet dream of all that fought, died or still care about our Country.
We will keep fighting, We will keep voting cuz that’s how we were raised and we will keep watching every so called
REPUBLICAN who sits and watches our COUNTRY being destroyed and we will SEEK REVENGE.
REMIND EVERY CANDIDATE THIS NOVEMBER OF THE CIVIL WAR OF 1861 AND WHAT IT REEKED ON OUR COUNTRY!
THERE AIN’T NO MORE BLACK SLAVES ANYMORE….JUST HONEST FOLK OF EVERY COLOR WHO KNOW THE GUBMENT HAS TAKEN OVER CONTROL OF OUR COUNTRY AND WE ARE GONNA TAKE IT BACK.”’
AND THE REAL RACISTS AND CRIMINALS LIKE FJB ARE GOING FEEL THE WRATH OF EVERY AMERICAN WHO KNOW WHAT THE LEFT HAS DONE TO TRY AND DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.
I”m done here. There’s lots of work to do.
I wonder if they’ll use natural gas in the ovens at the camps or if they have some new “green approach” figured out?
Read Agenda21
Covid was the reason for the jabs. That is how they are kicking it off. Wait and see
ORIGIN: “Gaslight” = Claude Rains, Ingrid Bergman, Angela Lansbury 1944 … a little “chicky“, nonetheless killer flick
I live in the SF Bay Area … and last week, I filled the car at our local, independent, gas station for $4.89/gal. Finally! gasoline for less than $5.00/ gal. Well today … the same station? $5.09/gal. +$0.20/gal. in a week. FJB.
In 2020, the Covid1984 Shutdowns were clearly being used to take down the Trump economy, thus rendering him vulnerable for defeat. The economic damage was obviously intentional, and businesses as well as consumers are now paying the inevitable price. I find it odd that one of the central driving forces behind today’s inflation, the Covid1984 Shutdowns, is rarely discussed.
May God keep him safe.
I have said this dozens of times and will say it again. How the hell are they going to build wind turbines and solar panels without mining, coal, oil and gas? The terminally stupid have to be removed from all positions of power everywhere on the planet.
6000 products require petroleum to produce. The foolish left will not have bike tires or the asphalt paths to ride on. They will not have their little tents and backpacks nor their fancy bicycle clown clothes. They will not have cell phones, headphones, electric cars, plastic water bottles, shoes, credit cards, or even shingles,and siding for their homes. They also wil not have electrical wiring or insulated windows or foam board insulation or their little stocking caps or vaping devices, all requiring oil to produce. There is no substitute.
What a bunch of mindless idiots!
THEY don’t intend on giving up any of their conveniences, including gas powered autos. The suffering is only meant for the masses.
Trump isn’t going to save us. The rest of this article is fine, but as with most of Sundance’s articles, all roads lead to Trump, which is a mistake in my opinion. Trump did many things very well, but he messed up COVID severely, and that huge blunder is the path which leads to the rest of this road straight to Hell. I don’t see a way out of this, frankly. Even if Trump is re-elected, the ship of global government is too huge and pervasive to change its course. If he runs again, he’ll get my vote, but I’m not naïve enough to believe the overall trajectory will change. Resist evil, and do good, but realize we live in an evil, evil world.
It you have not yet realized it I hope it has now dawned on you. CBS is this Country’s number 3 media enemy behind FaceBook and Google only. CBS is a thousand times worse than CNN because NO ONE really has any respect or trust in CNN. CBS has 75 years of goodwill that is giving them the ability to get away with their lies, disinformation and propaganda.
CBS needs to be held accountable.
Remember!
I watch videos of a guy walking the streets of a city in Texas during the big snow and ice storm that causing power outages. The videos showed the downtown core area, all the power on in an empty city ( parking lots banks office building ). The video showed him walking from a dark area to power on area.
The guy was livid, his neighborhood and all surrounding neighborhoods were dark! They call that, ‘surreal’.
I would suggest once again it’s more than about energy.
We are witnessing the decline of the US dollar as the reserve currency.
Many reasons for this as Russia continues to lead the world off US fiat currency. The governments of
4.5 billion people are not sanctioning Russia and 1.5 billion are. Which means 4.5 billion plus will take some kind of action with their currencies are not so attached to the US dollar and the Swift system. There is further concern that once this decline occurs it will not be linear but exponential in decline.
Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa and now others will be working on their own joint currency to stabilize their economies and reduce their risks to the whims of US politics. This new currency is reported to be a basket of currencies and/or with some commodity exposures. If and when that occurs, the dollar will devalue and we will lose some ground as the reserve dollar and our borrowing costs (deficit) will lead us into real, real inflation.
So why US supporting Ukraine in a proxy war? (Read above).
Why EU against Russia?
(Same fiat currency concern)
Why did Putin/Russia invade Ukraine?
(More resources but more importantly extending their border westerly before attacking Western economies by leading world off US dollar)
I always think back to when Obama told a Russian leader he “would be able to do more after the election.”
We never got the explanation but we do know Crimea was taken by Russia without a finger being lifted by Obama.
It isn’t hopeless my friends. I’ve noticed a change among the people who used to bash Maga. Haven’t you? They aren’t so smug and sneering now. The mindless mass are slowly realizing they were duped. Admitting they were wrong is a bitter pill for them to swallow. However, when they ‘shrug’, there will be hell to pay.
#1. we have got to get rid of this “administration”. Voting is it (although there are doubts) and we all have to do it, IMO.
#2. look up the activity of the sun. Solar flares have a lot to do (well, everything to do really) with the temp. on earth – not human activity. We only pollute. Our behavior has little to do with carbon dioxide, which we need, as in….photosynthesis.
#3. rumor has it that slowly but surely it is getting colder.
our “CREATOR” gave mankind the blessings of gas, oil and coal … and once again the ‘created ‘ motivated by the ‘ degenerate god of this world ‘ … turns it’s collective back on those blessings and drives mankind over the ‘collective cliff ‘ … due to it’s arrogance and stupidity …
