Let's Talk About the State of Affairs in the United States Heading Into 2023
What to Expect When You're Expecting (Totalitarian Technocracy)
As we wind down 2022, there’s a lot to process from the past twelve months. A lot has changed, while a lot hasn’t changed, as per the usual of living in the United States.
First thing’s first, the inflation issue needs some attention. The initial driver of all inflation of the money supply is the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. The Federal Reserve creates debt out of thin air and hands it out to whatever financial institutions ask for it, regardless of the interest rate they charge for those loans.
This is a serious problem because we are paying for the ignorance and insolence of the Federal Reserve’s mindless $5 Trillion handout to corporate overlords through the so-called “CARES” Act. Care about whom, though? Congress doesn’t give a damn about what happens to the American people, because they do not work for them. Congress works for its corporate donors, that’s a well-known fact in 2022, just look at who makes up the 535-member dual-house legislative branch of the federal government.
The roster is a who’s who of corporate stooges and lobbyists for big business. Wall Street banks pay for whatever laws they want passed, there is no public input on any of it. If you genuinely believe that the American people have any say in the laws that are passed, you are either uninformed or were brainwashed by government schools.
Corporations decide what laws are passed by Congress. If a special interest objects to a particular passage within a proposed bill, they will pay their lobbyists to bribe the necessary members of Congress to change the language to what they choose. It’s not a secret that organizations like ALEC write the templates for bills proposed to Congress. That’s not a conspiracy theory, that’s an objective fact.
Anyone who watched Schoolhouse Rock knows that bills are supposed to be proposed by Congress members, but rarely are the representatives actually intelligent enough to form coherent thoughts, let alone craft 1600-page bills that no one will ever read.
This is the system we exist under, one where there is no representation of the interests of the majority of people, only a small minority gets to decide what happens. When you hear liberals scream and cry foul over the Supreme Court strike down Roe v. Wade, remember that so-called “Democrats” controlled all branches of government under Obama’s first term, and did nothing to protect abortion rights, whether at the state level or the federal level.
While the Supreme Court may appear to be your enemy, understand that they have never been on the “side” of the American people. They have always worked against the interests of the population - that is the entire point of lifetime political appointments of un-elected political operatives. Term limits on all government employees would go a long way towards cutting down on some of the corruption - but I digress.
All these issues that Congress publicly promotes are purposely chosen and curated to incite as much tension and conflict as possible. This is how the system is designed. You are not in control of the government, the corporations are, and it’s been that way for a very long time. The Founding Fathers, regardless of their shady political backers, opposed this, that’s why we were founded as a Republic, originally.
That Republic form of government was officially ended with the Act of 1871 that turned the United States of America into the United Corporations of America, a crown corporation, under the control of un-elected foreigners. This is how the US has operated for over 151 years. If this is news to you, then you haven’t been paying attention. If you question why nothing ever changes, just take a look at who is in control.
If you oppose the Endless War Machine and Profiteering, the global arms dealing, then ask who decides how much tax money is allocated to the military. They call it the Department of Defense, but before World War I, it was called the Department of War, a much more accurate label. The Department of War is responsible for perpetuating crimes against humanity, and if you want to change that, get rid of the corporate puppeteers who have Congressmen and women on their payroll.
If you oppose the domination of Big Pharma and the perpetual sickening of the American people, then ask why Pfizer is THE largest advertiser for the Mainstream Media in the United States. Regardless of the platform, whether it be tell-you-vision, print newspaper, or digital media, Pfizer bought all of them off. That’s why none of those mainstream outlets would ever dare question the narratives fed to them by their advertisers.
The same can be said about the state of the food supply in the United States. If you are a concerned citizen, wondering why your loved ones are sick, ask them what they eat on a daily basis. Ask them which brands of manufactured food-like substances they put in their shopping carts when they go to the grocery (assuming they even buy groceries). If the answers include names like Kraft, Mondelez, Hershey’s, Coca-Cola, or PepsiCo, you don’t need to know any more. You are what you eat, as they say, and if you eat junk, your body will be junk, and your health will be worse off.
Ever wonder why fast food and alcohol companies are the biggest advertisers on tell-you-vision broadcasts of sporting events? That’s on purpose. The advertising budgets of those companies are insane, and they make sure to saturate the airwaves, so that their branding is what you associate with watching and consuming their programming. It’s very easy, most people don’t realize how much of an effect advertising has on their spending habits.
Speaking of the food supply, if you ever ask why “fresh” produce is so expensive to buy at the grocery store, just look at where it is brought in from. Rarely will a grocery chain sell locally-sourced produce of any sort, it is almost exclusively driven-in by truck, on land, from California, Florida, or Texas. The vast majority of the fruit and vegetables that are consumed in the US come from three states. Talk about consolidation, there is no contingency plan in place, heaven forbid any of those states’ agricultural industries suffer droughts or crop failure.
Well, that’s partially true, much of the berries that are sold in stores in the US outside of the spring and summer months are imported from Mexico and South American producers like Peru and Argentina. Higher prices are due to transportation costs going up, which are dependent upon diesel fuel prices. When the supply of diesel dwindles, as it has this year, prices go up, it’s just basic supply & demand.
If we were to have localized food supplies, decentralized and present in every state in the country, the transportation costs would be minimized greatly, and there would be much easier access to fresh food. It doesn’t take much digging into the advertising budgets of the corporate food oligopoly of the United States to realize why the opposite holds true. The more consolidated the food supply becomes, the less choices we have as consumers, and the more pricing power the corporate producers and grocery store distributors have.
Now let’s talk about the issue that affects everyone: housing. We live in a very strange time, Jim Morrison was right when he said over 50 years ago,
“Strange Days are coming, Strange Days are here”
Housing is an issue that affects everyone, as it is a basic human need for survival. We live in an era where we have extremely high rates of price inflation, high interest rates on mortgages, high credit card debt, and low incomes. This is a recipe for a systemic implosion, much worse than anything the American people have ever witnessed.
In an age of Airbnb paper empires, fueled exclusively by over-leveraged debt, the amount of inventory on the market is shriveling. Anyone who has looked at the available properties for sale in their local area knows the truth: a crash is already in-progress, it just hasn’t taken hold of America’s collective psyche - yet.
For Millennials, trying to find an affordable solution to their chronic housing instability problem has become even more difficult in recent months. As the 30-yr fixed-rate average mortgage eclipsed 7.2% (at the peak), even a slight decline down to 6.4% (as of December 9, 2022) isn’t all that helpful. The most financially-stunted generation in American history, Millennials are now living through their THIRD major economic implosion.
In 2000-2001, the Dotcom Bubble burst, wiping out trillions of dollars of paper wealth in the stock market, and ended nearly 6 years of unbridled price inflation in equities. Facing a lost decade, President George W. Bush came up with a great idea. What if every American who wanted a house could buy one? In theory, it sounds great, but in practice, it led to uninhibited speculation in the housing market, which, as we are all well-aware, imploded in 2007-2008.
That collapse, ignited by the meltdown in the subprime mortgage lending sector led to an exodus of millions of Americans from houses that they could no longer afford to pay for. Many Americans never recovered from this, even 14 years later, they’re still without stable housing. To those who might object to that, and claim that Americans recovered, especially leading up to the 2019 financial recession (the one that was “interrupted” by a global *cough* panic), just be aware, there were more vacant houses in the United States than there have ever been homeless people and renters combined.
As we approach the end of this year, there are many things that are coming next year that you need to be aware of, because they will affect everyone.
The first, and most glaring problem we are facing, is the impending forced adoption of a completely-digital US currency. If you can remember 2020, there were nationwide physical coin shortages, and cash was discouraged, out of a misplaced paranoid fear of germs on paper bills. This was not what it may have appeared. Much of the US economy is dependent on small businesses, and cash payments. Without cash, many small businesses will cease to operate, because they cannot afford to pay the fees that P2P payment processors charge.
This became even more glaring with PayPal’s blatant censorship of political speech. If you dared have a personal opinion on any subject that differed from the “accepted” left-wing point-of-view, you might find that PayPal no longer allows you have an account, or withdraw money that appears to be in your account.
This was always the plan, control over money ensures that the chattel cannot spend as they desire. You may say, well, isn’t that counter to the very nature of the US economy, which is over 70% consumption?
Yes, yes it is, but that doesn’t matter, because this has always been about control, and never about “protecting marginalized communities.” That has been the go-to talking point for leftist-infiltrated institutions like BlackRock, Vanguard, Twitter, Facebook, Google, and many more. PayPal was not the only offender, only the most-publicized one. CashApp, a fully-owned subsidiary of Block (formerly Square) is no different and should not be depended upon to provide uninterrupted P2P payments services.
Be aware that, if you are to use them for business purposes, they charge a 2.99% fee on all business-designated transactions on users. This is no different than PayPal, and may be slightly more nefarious than we realize now, as the recent Twitter Files proved, CEO Jack Dorsey lies through his teeth in front of Congress under oath, so how can he be trusted?
There is a much more nefarious plan in-motion that will become ingrained in US federal law as of January 1, 2023. FedNow was forced upon all US financial institutions under an illegal Executive Order Biden wrote in March of 2020 that compels the creation of what is known as a FedNow Account for ALL bank account holders in the United States. While this might not sound nefarious on its face, the intention is evil beyond anything we’ve seen so far from the financial services sector.
The concept is very straightforward: the roll-out of so-called “stimulus” checks authorized under the “CARES” Act was totally inefficient, slow, and in many cases, delayed by over twelve months. The forced adoption of FedNow accounts eliminates the friction within the financial system when it comes to distributing any future financial assistance to citizens.
This is the justification we are given for why everyone will have a FedNow account, however, I believe there is something far worse waiting for us with this insidious act. The concept of a Universal Basic Income has been floated around for years now, but no public discussion has truly been allowed, let alone led to Congressional action. With every bank account holder having a FedNow account, a UBI is not only possible, but there wouldn’t be any middlemen preventing the Federal Reserve from directly sending funds to everyone.
While this might sound nice in theory, all that a UBI will lead to, is further financial control over people’s personal spending decisions, and even more inflation. I don’t think that the American people can handle much more inflation in prices. Food, energy, housing, and healthcare are already expensive enough and draining the bank accounts and cash savings of the American population as they currently are. If every single American citizen (over the age of 18) were to receive a monthly payment from the Federal Reserve, all that will do is dramatically increase the size of the money supply.
From experience, we know Modern Monetary Theory is just another theory, not only impractical to implement, but also, dangerous to our future financial stability. If you want to be ahead of the curve, take control of your personal financial situation. Do not trust middlemen, they are thieves. Do not trust banks, they are even bigger thieves, and frauds (WellsFargo, Bank of America, Chase, Citigroup, anyone?).
Most importantly of all, NEVER, and I do mean NEVER, trust the government. They are organized crime with a monopoly on violence that they will not hesitate to use against you to coerce and compel your compliance with their dystopian plans to control every aspect of your life and further cement your enslavement into perpetuity.
