That is the official narrative the U.S. is trying to peddle. Just as a month or so ago everything was COVID’s fault, and just as for over a year all the excess deaths and injuries have been “mystifying but definitely not the shots because they’re safe!”, now, with the official stats for things like food up almost 15% YoY, that’s Putin, not profligate money printing the likes of which only countries like Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and the Weimar Republic have ever seen.
The short version is that real inflation is likely closing in on 20% if still measured as it always had been until the 1980’s, when the government changed how it’s done in order to appear to have gotten it under control. Just as unemployment is over 20% if calculated as it was before the 90’s (when it was also changed for the same reason).
And the government and the bankers continue to lie, and look to blame anything external they can so dimwits don’t figure out it’s them, not anything else. Because then the masses might demand that a private bank deceptively titled “The Fed” not print its money (the Treasury is authorized to do so), enriching its owners at the expense of the nation. And then the whole con game falls apart and about sixty old white men in Europe and NY won’t continue to be the richest on the planet (while carefully hiding their wealth behind offshore banks and shell corporations that are impossible to penetrate). And the politicians who depend on these dynastic pecuniary interests won’t get their bribes, and then what would America do?
I’ve been banned from FB again for 30 days for daring to point out the glaring rot in the system. Apparently that violates community standards (the notice I got indicated that even if it was factually true it might mislead - how is that for some word salad rationalization that the truth isn’t a defense on social media?). You can’t point out that you were correct about every aspect of the untested gene therapy being a nightmare scenario for those who took it - again, the masses might start to get suspicious of what the machines they operate actually do, and can’t have that.
The U.S. empire has truly become the U.S.S.R., complete with fake stats, a police state, captured media that only touts official narratives. But the whole thing is coming apart, as the markets are showing in slow motion. And the empire is now actively murdering its citizens with the injected bio-weapon, as this brilliant post from the Second Smartest Guy in the World indicates.
Buckle up. It’s going to be a long ride down.
Thank you, Russell. Posted on your FB timeline.
I'd like to contribute something useful but feel a bit punchdrunk at the moment.
Ohhhkaaay... I'm trying to type this on my phone, so don't think I'm dumb because of the typos, mmkay?
We're seeing all the shit since 2015. OK, I am. That's when I woke the hell up, anyway.
My only comfort is that It's always been for shit, and it's only because of this internet that we're as conscious as we are.
Up till now, we were only able to see what was in our immediate vicinity for the most part. For example, you Rusty, knew Wall Street was a sewer because you witnessed it. Me? Well, what was done to George Floyd was just another day at the office from my time in the NYPD.
I've seen and heard the term The Great Awakening bandied about a LOT recently, and that's what I think is what's really going on.
And yeah, the so called elites are playing Whack A Mole trying to cope with it.
Sadly for them, that game is a losing one.
I agree w you in that things are goña get a LOT worse.
But what comes after makes me pissed off that I'm 63 and won't see that...the better that comes in the phrase 'Things are goña get worse before they get better' cliche.
If we all don't get nuked of course
