All you need to know about the JFK Assassination in one graph. Sixty years after the crime the evidence is still secret. The coverup is ongoing. To solve the crime you simply follow the money.

2. Assassinations:

5. The Rabbit Hole:
It’s been sixty years since the president of the US was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was murdered on November 22, 1963. Everybody agrees on that. Everything else is still debatable, apparently. That’s because the official investigation was flawed past the point of an intentional coverup. It doesn’t matter who did the shooting, those guilty of the coverup are responsible for the crime now. The coverup continues to this day, by the establishment. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and then Biden all could have released the classified records about Oswald and Russia, Ruby and the Mafia, the FBI and the CIA, for a better understanding of the relationships that allow for the ongoing injustice. As if we need the records. As if releasing a smoking gun document is going to make any difference. It won’t. But, it says a lot about our government, that the public is still not allowed to see the evidence related to the murder of our president, sixty years after the fact. The ongoing coverup equates to an admission of guilt for the crime, imo, by the establishment. They are all accomplices after the fact.
Having examined evidence and testimony over the decades there’s no doubt in my mind that a criminal conspiracy assassinated JFK and our government has been complicit in at least the coverup of that crime ever since. Oliver Stone nailed it to the wall in 1991. Congress passed the buck to the president and our presidents have bowed in obedience to the CIA, ever since. I think that says enough right there. Mystery pushers are looking for profits, not justice.
Sixty years later and the National Geographic has just released a three part series on the Assassination of our president. It dares to embrace the Warren Commission narrative despite that theory being consistently debunked ever since its release. The commission was a coverup from its inception. It’s indisputable. The commission was instructed to find Oswald as the long gunman, and that’s what they did. That lie has been hiding in plain sight my entire life.
There’s no point in pointing fingers at the obvious culprits because the entirety of the establishment is complicit in the coverup. As are the mystery pushers. So it doesn’t really matter anyway without political reforms. I will however point out that JFK fired the CIA director and then LBJ hired him to investigate the assassination. What else do you need to know? That’s an absolute betrayal of an honest investigation. They intended to protect the conspiracy that killed our president. The mission of the commission was a coverup. It’s totally obvious to anybody who looks at the evidence. Failure of the conspiracy was not an option.
They’re all in on it. Case closed.
The History Channel has released an eight part documentary. I’m watching it now. It seems a very respectful tribute, so I applaud their efforts, despite the mystery pushing self-censorship. The History Channel also featured the JFK assassination in an episode of the Great Mystery’s show in early ‘23. That show chases conspiracy theories down implausible rabbit-holes. Every theory in that show could be easily debunked with an honest counterpoint. But no. The common theme in all of the corporate establishment conspiracy theory mystery shows is that the CIA didn’t do it. You can’t prove it, they say, so the truth remains a mystery. Which is a lie. It’s totally provable.
They always dismiss the CIA / Mafia connections. And the history of the CIA overthrowing democracies and running drugs. Oh, look, Jack Ruby was working with Mafia, just like the CIA was, and he was also good friends with the Dallas police. Better not connect that dot. Or how about Oswald being radicalized on the right and the left at the same time? He was obviously a double agent working both sides, which are actually the same side. The evidence goes on an on like that. The Warren Commission covered up that information and the government continues the coverup now. We don’t really need any more evidence. There’s plenty of evidence available now that proves the assassination was a conspiracy and the official investigation was a coverup.
All the bad guys were playing kissy face with Castro behind JFK’s back. The Bay of Pigs was lost intentionally to provide a base for the Hole in the Wall Gang. The CIA overthrew dozens of countries and yet we are to believe they just couldn’t take out the Beard. Wrong. The deep state runs both sides of our conflicts, that size. Connect the damn dots.
Corporate America has milked the JFK assassination for over a half century now. Despite the simple pieces of the puzzle that point directly to the inevitable conclusion, they just don’t know. It so obvious it goes without saying. Hundreds of hours of details and opinionated probabilities are shared for commercial profits. It’s a great mystery because the most important evidence is always withheld, or dismissed, to keep it that way. The establishment produces corporate propaganda to normalize their mystery, and disguise the truth. The truth is the mystery is intentional because to conclude the Warren Commission was lying proves the establishment is complicit in the assassination coverup. Which is undeniable because the coverup continues to this day. Despite the records release act from thirty years ago, the records are still classified. There wouldn’t be a coverup if they didn’t have something to hide. They do. It’s called complicity, and the coverup proves their guilt.
The establishment, sixty years later, is hell bent on clinging to the Warren Commission coverup. The Looking Glass is a montage of relevant moments that unravel the mystery. The video contains what I consider to be some of the most important facts to know about the JFK assassination. It serves as a counterpoint to the typical corporate coverup, as they cling to their mystery. They need the mystery to shield their complicity and to maintain the facade that your apathy is really a sign of your faith, in them, and that they are doing the right thing, for you. It’s all about trust, they say.
If the establishment concluded that the CIA killed JFK, that would mean the conspiracy succeeded and would be ongoing. Which it is. Our present would be the result of our past. Which it is. It’s one giant generational crime perpetrated against the next, like the filibuster, or crypto-currency, or our pyramid scheme economy. Our democracy was overthrown, like so many other democracies, by the CIA. The establishment wants you to think that the CIA is inherently working on behalf of America, which is preposterous. Our government works for them. America is supposed to stand for democracy, not privatized globalist relationships that profit from extraction and inflation.
Slavery and forced servitude are the root political struggles of humanity. That’s what divides us ideologically and economically. The opposing sides of that conflict are defined in many ways and to different degrees. The institutional divisions are public vs private, Main Street vs Wall Street. Democracy versus every other theory of government that there is. To personify the struggle between good guys and bad guys, consider JFK and Lincoln were both good guys. They were assassinated because they opposed slavery and advocated for democracy and representative government. Our presidents were murdered for promoting ethical justice and honest democracy. And an ethical distriution of wealth. The bad guys are against that. They have killed our presidents to maintain power. These assassinations are ideological crimes against the public, to profit the bad guys. It’s important to understand the distinction because the struggle is ongoing.
The video opens with JFK asking the most important question, about the direction that we will go as a nation. Will it be towards slavery or freedom? JFK pointed out the direction the world would take regarding slavery, would depend in large part to what we did here, in the United States. Which at the time was the most powerful nation on earth. Six decades later the result is in. “We” might still be, but we went in the direction of more slavery. Our president was killed and we have been at war, for sixty years, making enemies and racking up debt. It’s not rocket science. That money could have been spent on education and health.
We have a war economy that takes money from the public to profit those investing in war. They control our government. Violence is how they resolve their political conflicts. Democracy is the only threat to the authoritarian conspiracy vying for total control over the public to perpetuate their scam.
The establishment hates democracy.
Eisenhower, in his farewell address warned us about the military industrial complex. That complex now controls our government. They must control our government in order to continue profiting from war. As repugnant as war is to most people, the industry has been thriving forever. The struggle for humanity depends on understanding the difference between profiting from conflict and profiting from health. There is an alternative to the current paradigm.
War would not be affordable without the federal reserve and the unlimited credit the establishment has to leverage on themselves, to do what they want for profits. At this point the public debt is beyond any ethical rationalization. Private interests have been robbing the public interest for generations. The crime has been normalized now, bankrupting nations to create billionaires. Now we have a hierarchy of money controlling our government to protect and defend that system of looting the public for private profits. That’s not a democracy. That’s a scam, intended to control public policy, economically, rather than democratically.
It’s a global conspiracy based on corporate extraction of public wealth that divides the population economically and therefore, ideologically. Those concepts are synergistic. Those who have the wealth are not for government. They don’t like the idea. They are the private interests competing against the public interest. Those who don’t have excessive wealth prefer a government. They are the public interest competing against private interests. That’s why the middle class is so important to civility. That’s why inequality is a bad thing. That’s why some people are against education for others.
The government should mediate between public and private interests to create a middle class, but they don’t. They serve the private interests almost exclusively, in the form of institutionalized corporate collusion. Public assistance is just another way to extract money for investors. Every dime of welfare the government gives to those they deprive of jobs, gets consumed and trickles up to the owners of industry. Which is still not enough profit for them. So the government subsidizes corporations directly for even more profits, using bonds, bailouts, taxes, and inflation. Oh, and judicial dereliction. They all profit from the market fluctuations and quantitative grifting scams. And statistically, that probably includes you. And me, too. Hey, wuda ya guna do?
We are all the establishment now.
With the JFK inauguration, the torch had been passed to a new generation of Americans. Unfortunately, three years later the loser generation assassinated JFK and took the torch back. They decided to kill him for it and keep it as their own. And they have been using it ever since, for generations, to help light the way towards more war profiteering and a more profitable slavery. They used that metaphorical torch, which is our government, to enact policies profiting their own private interests. Which is ultimately a pyramid scheme based on you investing in their scam. You can invest in their pyramid scheme.
That’s how the “system” “works”.
The opening tune in the video, Accusations, was written, performed and produced by me in 1998. The video opens with a montage of the presidents who were complicit in the overthrow of our government. They killed our president and then took us to war, foerevermore. They’ve been doing that, over and over, ever since, getting rich from more and more public debt. They normalized a war economy.
Then, as they spent our money, we supposedly voted for them again and again, while they outsourced or jobs and plunged us into massive debt. They have borrowed so much money for their profits, that we have to pay them now, a trillion dollars a year, to service our debt, to them. Or is it that their profits? It depends on how you look at it. I see an extraction scam by economic vampires sucking a trillion taxpayer dollars a year, from the public’s neck.
They have quite literally bought our land and economy using money that they leveraged on the public’s credit card. Now we buy from them at inflated prices.
The entire system is an outright scam. It’s an absolute robbery of our treasury by a privatized global conspiracy that controls our government and prevents our democracy and therefore our sovereignty. Instead of a representative government we have a corporate/criminal conspiracy protected and defended by a fraudulent consensus that favors the privileged snobbery of our newfound internet app culture.
The misguided majority.
All administrations in my lifetime have been complicit in the looting of the treasury. And global treachery. I assumed that I was benefiting from that somehow but I don’t assume that anymore. The betrayal of our nation is becoming too hard to hide. You can only over-leverage your profits for so long. Sooner or later some generation will crash hard. It’s inevitable. And some will pass along untold riches of royalty to their heirs.
The Torch
In the grand arch of history the injustice remains the same. At least on this topic. There has been a conspiracy in charge of our government since the JFK assassination. The following decades of corrupted governance by a criminal conspiracy culminated in the 911 attacks, which was followed by endless war for war-profiteering and increased government debt, as well as more authority to control their enemies, foreign and domestic. Whatever it takes to rack up the debt. That’s what they did, for profit. That’s what they still do. They want war and they instigate it for a living. It’s what they do.
The Video starts with Sarah McClendon. She deserves an award for calling BS on the nonsense back in the day. She helps define president Herbert Skywalker as being the big cheese intelligence director guy. Ford goes on to inform us he sent Bush to China. The point is to establish Daddy Bush as the poster boy for the conspiracy that killed JFK, otherwise known as the CIA. Bush was the absolute benefactor of the assassination.
Note the similarity to the classified documents trial now against Trump, to the allegation of stolen classified documents by Bush, as seen in the video. It mirrors the notion of “privatized intelligence records for Bush. There was no consequences for the shredding and stealing of classified materials about CIA activities back then. There never was and there’s not now any accountability for the overly rogue agency who remains above the law, and our presidents.
They, the CIA, will be the main villain in this story. They are the architects of the anti-democratic scam. The establishment defers to them on all matters. It doesn’t matter what you call the antidemocratic conspiracy that has declared ownership of our production. They’re all in on it. They are the monster.
The monster in this story is the global establishment. I’m sure they’re all great people individually. But institutionally, they are the bad guys in the story simply by doing their jobs in service to the monster. Which is the system itself. It’s the result of the system that matters. The monster hates democracy. The conspiracy of self interest rules and deregulations from them, back then, has evolved into a massive inequitable mess for the public, now. Corruption and bribery rule the day. That’s the way the bad guys want it. That’s the way it is. That’s the way it’s been for at least sixty-some years now. The establishment intends to keep it this way for their nepotistic privileges and so that their prodigy can celebrate them as the forefathers of our democratic deconstruction. Without democracy, they will be the new forefathers.
The corporate royalty. They are the political opposition. They are the status quo. They resist democratic reforms to protect and defend their scam. The transition to a more representative government is not a mystery, it’s a secret. Reform is not what the establishment wants and they control the narrative. So, you never hear about it. The current trend has the voters electing to end our democracy, they say. Who needs democracy when you have so much money?
The democrats will continue to resist democracy but the republicans want to dismantle it completely. They don’t need it. They both stole the public’s money and now they want to shut down its democracy. It’s been a multi-generational theft so it makes it hard to see it happening, until it’s too late. That’s where we are now. The public is ready to concede our experiment in self-governance has failed, they say. The irony is that’s not what we have. So the narrative is a fraud. It’s being written by frauds. That’s why I’m compelled to share this counterpoint.
As I write this, the establishment is increasingly at war with civility. The conflict-based economy creates its own enemies to justify its own relevance, for authority and profit. The corporate narrative serves the monster. It is the monster. The corporate media is the appendage of the monster that provides the false narrative that is in need of correction with a more truthful and logical counterpoint. Without funding that notion remains nearly impossible. Funding favors the scam.
Our high court is politically motivated and mired in corruption now. The establishment never makes that connection. The corruption in the court is bribery to the bench for constitutional misinterpretations, to kill our democracy. It’s like the detective focusing on the payments to the hitman and ignoring those who got shot. There’s evidence of unearned wealth here, the detective alleges, totally missing the real crime. The detective, being congress here, is also on the take. The authorities are guilty so the resulting mystery is not surprising. Official denials and coverups cause conspiracy theories.
The congress is derelict in correcting the court and the court is derelict in correcting congress. It doesn’t matter what party controls the White House the executive can practice the royal authority of the unitary executive theory on behalf of them all. The establishment remains happy to see all three branches of government violating constitutional intention to protect and defend their pyramid scheme.
It’s making them a ton of money. Millionaires and billionaires profit from public debt. They pay our corrupted government to keep it that way. The government is derelict in taxing massive profits properly, to reconcile the massive public debt. I contend that their debt based profiteering “system” was made possible by the JFK assassination. That’s why it remains a mystery, to them, when it’s not.
I’m looknig forward to finding time to write an article about Israel at War. It’s another horrifying indicator on the timeline that signals we’re all heading for trouble. It’s a perfect example of the conflict-based economy. We’ve got the money hoses ready to spray gasoline all over that fire. I’m going to save that story for later through because of time constraints.
I’m just passing by to note for the record that the house rules cited below in this post, about electing the speaker, are interpreted differently by me, compared to the house. Apparently the majority as cited in the rules means a majority of all members voting and not a majority of their votes. Which in typical fashion is ridiculous.
McCarthy got the boot as proposed by the luney tuner Gaetz and now the republicans can’t get a majority to elect a new speaker.
Jim Jordan, the insurrectionst who defied a Jan 6th subpoena, is nominated but can’t get enough votes to be the speaker, leaving the house without leadership. It shows how stupid the rules are. If you need over 1/2 the members voting for one member to choose a speaker, it’s quite possible nobody will win. And that’s what is happening now. It also happened in 1849. The duopoly was fractured with an anti-slavery party called the Free Soil Party. So to elect a speaker they just changed the rules to a plurality threshold for victory. Which is the way it should be and should have always been.
The current speakership debacle shows two things. First, the two-party system is incompatible with the constitution and second, the house rules circumvent that constitutional intention by imposing a threhold of loyalty to leadership that is anti-democratic. What they want is the majority party to choose the speaker but that would be unconstittuional. So instead they wrote the rules so that the minority party members get to vote but they can’t win. The speaker of the house should be chosen by a plurality of the members voting. That’s what would happen if the elected officials dropped their partisan name tags at the door. The members would then simply vote for a speaker of the house without party affiliation, as the constitution intended.
I intrepret the house rules incorrectly in this article because the house rules are just that stupid. Practicing the constitution with political parties is like trying to put square pegs into round holes. The parties would love to primary their candidates for speaker. That would achieve their interpretation of the rule, but that would likely be unconstitutional. No matter how they write the rules, if they use party labels, the practice will violate constitutional intention. I will leave my misinterpretation below unedited because I think it’s right. It’s near the end of the article but I will make my case for correction right here. The House rules should be rewritten to be more democratic and comply with constitutional intention, because they don’t. There are no parties in the constitution so congressional rules are written to get around that. There should be no majority/minority divisions in the rules at all. All partisanship should be removed from the rules, imo.
From the house rules:
To be elected speaker, a candidate must receive a majority of votes from the members present and voting.
The house is misinterpeting their own rules, imo, or they are poorly written. To say “a majority” could be interpreted as “the most”. As in: To be elected speaker, a candidate must receive the most votes from the members present and voting.
That’s how I read it because that’s what it says.
The house is following the rule as if the rule said this:
To be elected speaker, a candidate must receive a majority of all votes cast.
That’s what they’re doing. The ambiguous language is typical throughout the rules in the house and the senate and therefore should be rewritten for constitutional compliance.
/End Update).
I have to admit that I was surprised to see Trump get Indicted by the Feds for conspiracy to obstruct justice and election interference. But I have to say I’m disappointed he wasn’t charged with insurrection, because that’s what he did.
Insurrection is the charge that matters. If Trump was convicted by any court, a military tribunal for instance, every state in the nation would have legal grounds to keep him off their ballots. That would ensure his loss in 2024. Which is imperative.
Ex-president Trump should be charged and convicted with insurrection, to prevent him from holding any public office, as is mandated in the constitution. That is what the law requires.
This is what the constitution says: 14.3: No person shall ..hold any office who.. shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion..
This is how the dictionary defines insurrection: “A violent uprising against an authority or government.”
This is how the dictionary defines rebellion: “An act of violent resistance to an established government”
The attack on the capital to prevent the counting of electors was a premeditated conspiracy against the government. It was a violent crime by design in resistance to the electoral certification process. That is an insurrection by definition. And an act of rebellion. Trump was the leader of that insurrection but has not been charged with Insurrection.
There is an ongoing conspiracy to overthrow our democracy, legally, by an antidemocratic organization. They call themselves republicans and Trump is their leader.
President Biden and AG Garland don’t want the prosecution of Trump to be seen as political. Even though it is political. The loss or our democracy to a global conspiracy is very political. So their decision is ultimately judicial dereliction and poltical failure. Trump has been charged with a metaphorical kitchen sink full of dirty deeds. All true, no doubt, but ultimately those charges do nothing to protect American democracy, even if he is convicted of the crimes. So it’s all lip service to themselves.
To not charge Trump with insurrection is just another example of the establishment misinterpreting the constitution for its own advantage. And to distract you from other more important deceptions.
The establishment wants Trump to be president or they would lock him up, imo. Just because he was president doesn’t give him license to break the law.
The democrats give him license with judicial deflection. They have conspired with the republicans to capture our national sovereignty, under the banner of their global economy.
The professional left are shocked and outraged but they are complicit in the dereliction. The pundits don’t mention the importance of charging the insurrectionists with insurrection. Electoral Interference? Seriously? So what. Racketeering? Okay, whatever. You know they will all walk. After years of drama and lawyer fees, the pardons will rain from the new royalty.
Establishment policies are almost always antidemocratic and therefore anti-American. Left and right, it’s a dance the establishment does as they pretend to represent the public, but they don’t. They empower their global conspiracy to loot our treasury and neglect to legislate an adequate electoral infrastructure, to transcend this mess.
It’s their fault.
Clearly, an organized and globalized opposition to American democracy controls all 3 branches of our government now. We need a new apportionment act to transcend their legislative stranglehold. The duopoly is killing our democracy. We need a class action law-suit against both parties, for conspiring to deprive the public of our constitutionally guaranteed form of government.
We need a convention to identify the laws and practices of our government that violate the constitution. I’ll do that here, by myself if I have to, time allowing. Nobody in the hierarchy of money is going to do that. Which proves the point of the public voter project. Money is representation. Nobody really cares what anybody else thinks and they shouldn’t have to. We should stop pretending the greedy idiots on the internet are somehow the majority of us. They’re not. The majority of the public is unorganized, apathetic and generally ignorant to the wisdom necessary to understand the importance of the common good. If they have enough food, they’re seeking entertainment, not political solutions.
Polls show Biden and Trump are in a dead heat. It’s a winner take all contest for control our country. The presidents are polar opposites, ideologically, they say, as are the parties. The establishment is unified into a binary division. You are on one side or the other. So says the poll.
You can select either A or B from the menu of presidential candidates. It’s like ordering a large combo for the family at a Chinese restaurant. It’s not a buffet, like rank choice voting would be. You take the good with the bad, like it or not.
It’s funny how people say we have the greatest form of government when the other forms of government offer more social benefits to the public. Instead of the republicans debating each other, maybe they should have to debate representatives from foreign countries, to better understand their options.
I’m going to save my ranting for a later post. I expect I will update this blog post as relevant news to the Trump Indictments break. This story is going to go on for years. In the end the corporations will win. They always do. They’re always searching for new ways to extract unethical profits from the public. I’ll get back to that.
I will just make a couple of mentions though, of current topics I think need more clarification. Starting the list with my appreciation for Senator Whitehouse. He warns that our courts have been captured. Though I would extend the allegation to all three branches of our government, he deserves encouragement for the very important work he’’s been doing in exposing judicial corruption. He is truly a hero among men.
Legalize Equality
The inflationary extraction scam has predictably increased prices on almost everything. The workers who didn’t get automatic cost of living increases, like the lemmings did, are striking across the country, against the scam. Even if they don’t understand the scam they know they need more money. Who doesn’t? That’s because of inflation, which is caused by the scam.
After extracting trillions of dollars of easy money thrown into the economy, the public still doesn’t have enough of it to keep their government open, supposedly. The lizards are reporting.
It actually has nothing to do with money. The massive public debt is ultimately just a way to facilitate unethical earnings. It’s funny how many lizards have come forward to warn us about the debt. They want you to know the debt that made them all so very rich is going to be taken from the public, which probably includes you, and millions like you who are not listening.
They raised the debt ceiling to spend more. And though all of their fraudulent gains have been paid for now with more public debt, the crisis looms for them, again, they say.
The establishment wants to cut public services even right after their record profits. Which shows you the system is a cycle of never ending downward pressure on the workers to create more profits for the owners. Their quest for profit is institutional and unrelenting.
At the same time thousands of failed startup equites go down, from the extraction scam, thousands more are going up. Wall Street profiteering is a shell game with a whack-a-mole strategy. The house bets against you with computers. Your holdings go lower and lower, locking up your money, until you sell.
Look at any number of startups from five years ago. Their profits sky-rocketed from coronavirus stimulus and then collapsed as the profits were extracted from the public at rates that made banks fail. It’s an obvious scam, but the sheriff is busy, I guess, charging Trump with election interference.
These startups had nothing to do with the pandemic, but their values all shot up like rockets. Then after all of that emergency easy money chased those quantitative market gains, those rocket stocks all crashed nearly as fast as they took off. You can see the spikes in the five year graphs. Thanks to the coronvirus. Wink wink.
It puts Wall Street as the main benefactor of the coronavirus pandemic. And of course their economic allies in China. Wall Street and China are synergistically intertwined and mutually dependent on each other to perpetuate the global scam for ever-increasing profits leveraged from public debt.
That’s how the system works.
Which helps define the current political divide. The political divide is the establishment versus the public. To better understand that distinction consider that American patriots prefer the American Main Street economy and the well being of the American public. The opposition prefers profiting from global corporations to the determinent of the public. That’s the corporate establishment.
I’m a Main Street Progressive Patriot
Global corporations and American patriots are incompatible ideas. Trump being an American patriot is an oxymoron because he is a corporate globalist. He can only be one or the other and he is a corporate globalist. His claims of patriotic intention are as fraudulent as anything else he does.
Trump and the establishment support global corporations. Especially the looney tuners pretending to be anti-communist. Most of our politicians are corporate agents, not American patriots. That’s how the public got into this mess. The insincerity of our politicians is biblical. It’s a religion of hypocrisy.
The gestures of fiscal sanity by the popular corporate agents are insincere, at best. They are the scapegoats on a mission to take the blame for their party. Their stupidity helps you to understand how government can be dysfunctional, and against you and the public. Let’s blame some district in Texas, or Georgia, is implied, to blame our collective government lunacy on a few crazy personalities.
There’s a government shutdown looming in a week unless the looney tunes allow appropriation bills to a vote, they say. The news pundits never explain the procedural rules that validate that nonsense, but there it is, again. The shutdown is ultimately a way to validate the notion that our government is at the mercy of the minority. They can interpret the law however they want because the public is ignorant, and ultimately helpless to do anything about it.
Despite the looting of our treasury, and no debt ceiling, it’s reported that the public can’t afford a government. Don’t worry though, they caught a senator taking bribes. Menedez took some gold bars, apparently. And some anxious lizard has already announced he’ll run, and take his spot. I expect the senator is guilty but I also suspect that most of them are.
The entire place is like a back-stabbing casino, where the drunken gamblers take their winnings from the public vault. Our treasure chest is open and the contracts have been flying for years. So they all get along. The investors sit at their slot machines and the winning bells just keep ringing for the establishment. The public debt sustains it all.
We’ve created a culture of billionaires who won’t be taxed. Our economy is their monopolies. The trickle down allegiance to the scam is the problem. The government protects and defends that scam for the obesely wealthy, against the public good. That’s why we need a more economically representative government compared to what we have now. For economic equality.
The borders are pouring thousands of immigrants a day into our workforce. It’s a plan to ensure corporations can keep wages low and keep republicans in office with a winning issue.
Joe Biden apparently just permitted a half million immigrants into our workforce, to end their welfare programs. We prevent immigrants from working so we give them welfare instead, I heard recently. That’s a program they’re ending, supposedly. We will however continue to give forgivable grants to immigrants to start businesses. If you can believe that. It’s all intentional dysfunction with easy and logical alternative policy. The problem is the establishment profits from government spending.
Impeach Joe Biden
This is now the clown show I predicted back when the clowns took the house. The dems refuse to resist. McCarthy never won the vote for speaker of the house in the first place. Jeffries won on the first round of voting.
This is what the house rules say:
To be elected speaker, a candidate must receive a majority of votes from the members present and voting. If no candidate wins a majority, the roll call is repeated until a speaker is elected.
It doesn’t say only members of the majority party can be the speaker, but that’s what they all did. Jeffries won the majority of the members present and voting so by the rules, the democrat won. Jeffries had the majority of votes, but conceded to the opposition, as democrats do. They lose on purpose.
And McCarthy is allowing an open-ended impeachment witch-hunt against the president now. They’ll find something, sooner or later, he says. It reminds me of the Whitewater impeachment cigar and a stained blue dress. It was totally shameless pandering to the public started with fraudulent intent.
That’s why the Hush Money charge against Trump, now indicted, should have been the first impeachment hearing against him. The American public is smart enough to understand the sordid details of bribing porn star prostitutes for their silence. But the democrats prefer the high road. To their own detriment, the democrats always want to play fair, and lose, to the republicans. The public loses either way. It’s a rigged system, by the establishment against the public, and should be changed, asap.
Politics is a money fight, but we vote for our beliefs against those who believe differently. It’s a horrible system. The democrats bring their beliefs to the money fight and lose to the republicans, who beat them with their money. The conservatives bribe the progressives into defeating legislation that would benefit the public. That’s why political solutions for the public remain so elusive.
Money versus Belief
The political divide is the establishment versus the public. The establishment has the money and the public is broke. The public requires a representative government to include all citizens in growth and prosperity, which is resisted by the establishment.
Instead of expanding our social security system our government has chosen to privatize our pension process to profit their private Ponzi-scheme. The establishment has monopolized growth for themselves by creating a system of investing for excessive profits via capital gains, made possible by massive public debt in an era of easy money.
Low rates, High gains, Bailouts.
The public’s political opposition is the institutionalized tax-dodgers bribing our politicians into an era of over-leveraged low interest easy money loans. The profits are digitized and artificially maximized and actualized with public debt. They’ve manipulated our policies to create so much debt that they will perpetually extract trillions of dollars from the public, moving forward.
Our government spent money we didn’t have on things we didn’t need to profit investors. Now we’ll pay a trillion dollars a year to those who loaned us the money, even though they created it out of thin air. And don’t pretend it gets paid back. The massive market profiteering extraction scam is leveraged with inflation and more public debt.
They call it an easy money policy, as our treasury is looted.
The ongoing scam has been institutionally accepted yet it is clearly a fraudulent form of wealth creation that profits the few by screwing the many, much more efficiently than before.
The money is a hierarchy of authority and opportunity that flows from the public debt, and controls the public. The public’s own credit is used against them by those they elect. They profit from policing the chaos they create, legislatively, which requires more tax revenue to pay for the resulting authoritarian militarism.
We borrow from those we should tax.
I try to keep in mind the difference between narrating the national demise and advocating for political solutions. The news can be very distracting, but also very important to understand, in context.
Trump
Trump was just indicted for hoarding classified documents, probably stolen with a profit motive in mind. These indictments will keep the cult leader top story in the narrative for the foreseeable future, if we’re lucky. As in, I hope things don’t get worse.
Trump was probably going to auction off the sealed boxes to the highest bidders or something. You know he wasn’t going to read anything. He just knew he had something golden, and thought he could get some easy money with it.
Maybe, Trump ran for office plotting the theft of classified documents. He was the populist Trojan Horse candidate hired to infiltrate the White House and succeeded, for his conspiracy of lizard overlords. Trump had over two years to copy the documents so the bad guys already had their way with them. We have no secrets. He served his puppet master well and has already received his payment for services rendered. And everybody is sniffing our dirty laundry.
Trumps’ defense will be political persecution by deep state liars, and he’ll probably win. He can claim all of the evidence against him was fabricated with deep state technology, which could be true.
Who knows?
It could also be true that there’s a global network ripping off this country as we speak. And, they’ve been at it longer than most people here have been alive. They’re always looking for somebody to corrupt. Somebody with little loyalty except to themselves, and money.
The ongoing MAGA movement thinks Trump is being framed by the Deep State. The Trump fans also have an ongoing vendetta against Biden & Sons dirty deals. True or not, it’s a blatant deflection from their own stinkables. They didn’t care to question why Trump’s son-in-law would get two billion from the prince of darkness.
Treason
I hate to give the deep state the benefit of the doubt. So I won’t. Justice is starting to look awfully political. It might be a good idea to declassify an accusation. Otherwise we got Liar vs. Liar. It’s a perfect post-truth society court battle, with classified evidence. You can believe whichever side you like better, politically, and be right.
When DC starts locking people up for corruption, we’re gonna lose a lot of our elected leaders. Corruption is not what Trump is being charged with, though. He’s been charged with espionage and conspiracy to obstruct the investigation into his treasonous betrayal of our country. There’s a bucket load of counts that add up to bad news for the former president, unless he’s conspiring with the DOJ.
A premeditated exoneration would be a nice rubber-stamp for the history books to provide legal justification for authoritarianism.
Trump is not only a grifter he’s a traitor and we elected him president, supposedly, and still think we have a great political system. What does that say about our political system? It says it sucks. Now that are ex-president has been charged with Espionage, we might elect him again. That’s how smart our democracy is.
Our democracy failed, they’ll say.
If the charges against Trump are true, and you know they are, his intention has been a national betrayal beyond the imaginations of most Americans. Especially those who voted for him, and will vote for him again. We have to assume they will, no matter what.
What if Trump “wins” the next election and prosecutes his political opposition? Or quickly puts them all in prison. What if he sides with Russia against Ukraine? We’ll soon be shooting ourselves. That’s how stupid our divided government is. Which side of the war are we on this year? Well, ah, It could go either way depending on the electoral college and the courts. Looks like we will be funding the war against ourselves either way, despite the election. It’s absolutely nuts.
It’s a great system, they say. Which is another big lie.
If Trump stole documents to betray America, for money, which is believable. It would show he is a traitor without any allegiance to our country at all, or the law, or his constituents. His guilt would show just how gullible all of those who believed him are. They don’t care if he is lying to them or not. They voted for his arrogance and admire his brand of confident ignorance. He tells them what they want to hear.
A large segment of the electorate would rather side with a liar than side with the “neoliberals”, who ironically are also lying. So, they really are all a bunch of liars, now divided. Both sides have sold out our country and pretend that the other is exclusively guilty.
Equivalency of guilt is nearly irrelevant.
Both sides are heavily invested in the division. That’s the way we roll around here, as a country. We’re all in this together is a cover story to distract you from the betrayal. We have been pushing global trade deals to find the cheapest labor to sell products to the era of easy money for maximum profit made possible by public debt. It’s no wonder why nobody works anymore. It’s a great scam.
The scam is practiced by both sides of the aisle and now the republicans are blaming all their dirty deep state trade deals on the democrats. And now King Joe wants to save democracy for Ukraine as ours falls apart. The looney tuners call him a war monger and they’re not completely wrong. He’s failing on both fronts, foreign and domestic. Don’t piss off your enemy, is his strategy for victory.
But getting on to the grand scam, I have to start by mentioning, now that a deal has been done to raise the debt ceiling, the fears of recession are collectively fading. The markets are rising and the economy is doing great, because of the loan. Recession avoided. It’s a total coincidence, they must think, without making the connection to their newfound no-limit credit card, that they’re borrowing from the public. The financial panic is fading fast.
The Debt Ceiling
You know that feeling you get when you should stop but you don’t, you just keep going? Your addictive behavior is selfish and unfair but you can’t help yourself so you just keep eating, or smoking, or writing, or raising your debt ceiling? That’s what the establishment just did.
President Biden just claimed victory for increasing our debt. By raising the debt ceiling to sustain the economic crisis that’s so profitable for the corporate lizard class. Biden has become the extractor in chief, like we knew he would. He is the sugar daddy now, for corporate lizards everywhere. After the debt ceiling speech, the money junkies are lining up for another fix. The kissy face bipartisan sellout song and dance sung tonight by the liar in chief was about as empty as any rhetoric I have ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot of shallow rhetoric.
The republicans had nothing to leverage their empty threats with because passage was a forgone conclusion. Without complete dereliction from the Dems or outright self-sabotage, an economic depression was never on the table, except as a scare tactic.
They want you to think that the government is a luxury that they can take from you, and if you do, they will. We’re just a vote away from catastrophe, they say. Your lawless dystopian nightmare is now on the table for consideration, unless you raise the debt ceiling.
I heard Biden say that democracy is not guaranteed, but he’s wrong. It is guaranteed in the same legal document that validates his office, and authority. The constitution says, in Article 14.4, Our republic is guaranteed, and you can’t have a republic without a democracy, so both are guaranteed, is how it reads.
The president wrapped his betrayal of workers and taxpayers in a lot of lofty goals and promises that we’ve all heard before. He should have negotiated for those goals, but he didn’t. The lizards and their armies of lemming soldiers will continue to label him as a radical leftist socialist, as he helps them fulfill their greedy “conservative” right-wing agenda of false profits. The partisans always come together for that.
It’s business as usual for the bi-partisan extraction scam.
The scam has been rubber-stamped again and will continue for at least two more years, this time without limits. The era of easy money just got easier with another fuel injected infusion of public debt. That was the fix they were banking on. Here comes the rush..
Now we know where Biden will get the money to bail out the uninsured deposits at the failed banks. He’s wading in the swampy slush funds now. There’s money for everybody. Equality never had a chance.
Somehow, despite unlimited funding for the growth scam, the threat of an economic collapse remains on the table for next time, when the looney-toons will again insist on their dystopian vision of maximum chaos and division, for the public.
Our government might implement draconian cuts, they say, for the services you need, in order to pay for the tax cuts they keep giving themselves. They keep cutting their taxes and your services, to put our cities into even more chaos. It appears now almost certain that’s their intention because that’s their result.
They want cheap labor. That’s why they’re against abortion. That’s why they destabilize the southern hemisphere, to import cheap labor to compete with Americans. See the race to the bottom. The social dysfunction is amplified to distract from the extraction scam and the massive inequality it has created, in the name of capitalism.
When the public has spent over $30 trillion of money they didn’t have, in thirty years, it’s obvious that those who got our money aren’t paying their fair share of it back, in taxes. It’s money that they “made” from excavating the public debt, like debt miners.
The public has paid for excessive corporate profits with our debt. Corporations have all the money now, so they should have to pay it back, in tax revenues. We need excessive tax revenues to reconcile our excessive debt, and upgrade our democracy.
We need economic balance.
Instead, the public money hoses keep gushing money to the rich. Our debt keeps flowing down their bottomless money holes. It gets lost down there and comes back up as digital assets to bribe the corrupt into their new economy.
Global, dark, and digital.
Tens of thousands of bank regulators missed the recent bank collapses if you can believe that. I don’t. It’s just another multi-billion dollar scam in a long line of scams normalized by judicial dereliction.
Law enforcement is totally complicit in the crypto crime and the dark money slush funding, which tells its own story if anybody cares to think about it. Congress will drag its feet until the sheriff comes to town, and that ain’t happening, so whatever. Anything goes, Take out another loan and buy some more crypto, if you dare. The volatility could be extreme because it’s an obvious Ponzi-scheme.
Two trillion of the three trillion in alleged crypto value was “wiped-out” last year and now the globalist intruder economy brags the value of their scam is back up 350 Billion this year. The trillion and a half dollars that was extracted from the overcompensated investors profiting from the era of easy money, now belongs to the dark money globalists, who are buying the world. As if we didn’t notice.
They commingle their borrowed money with your investments and then yank the rug out from under you. You hardly care because you have so much disposable income you see your last loss as a buying opportunity to get some more. That’s the era of easy money.
Now that the debt ceiling has been raised again, it’s a safe bet the crypto scam will gain in value soon, rapidly, because its value comes from public debt. It’s a digital money laundering scam for the establishment and they’ve got a lot of money to launder now.
Until it’s declared a crime, expect volatility.
The public debt hole is a bottomless pit of virtual wealth for some that does nothing for those that need the public assistance, like our cities and retirees. Measure the stated intention to the actual results and it’s easy to see our government is failing in its mission, for the public.
The public is in debt while the establishment invests in global capital. The constant squeeze for shareholder profits increases without compassion and it degrades almost everything, for the public. The public gets smaller portions, longer hours, higher prices, and devalued wages, because of inflation. Thanks a lot, lizards.
The corporate lizards get rich.
The lemmings get a cost of living increase. They are largely unaware of how the public debt is designed to work, unfairly in their favor, because of the inflationary and monopolistic economy. They don’t care. They don’t have to. That’s how our system works.
We’re heading for a government of robots who, if you need their help, will put you on hold or deny your concern. AI devices will soon serve the public, for the government, so bureaucrats can work for private insurance companies, or some other predatory scam, from home. The intentionally dysfunctional government services will be automated so that bureaucrats can stay on vacation, administrating overpriced corporate contracts awarded to the friends and cronies of their superiors. It’s a system designed for efficiency, they’ll say.
Please hold because your call is important to us.
The establishment has a million ways to transfer money from the public to themselves, including price-gouging, tax-cuts and loopholes, no-bid contracts, stimulus packages, grants, bailouts, bonuses, an so on. The list of contracts goes on and on, invoicing the taxpayers for services they never get, while spending money they never had.
We pay over a half trillion a year just to “service” public debt. It’ll be a trillion in no time. The nations biggest expense will soon be paying our tax-dollars to those who loaned us unlimited money so we could buy the things we didn’t need. They created the money out of thin air to loan us and will now charge us for that loan, forevermore.
The public is in debtor’s prison.
The professionals call it easy money. They profit from our debt. It’s an industry of administrative wealth extraction based on public debt and owning the monopolies that employ the workers who serve the consumers. The small percentage of people, who sponsor our government, own the automated closed loop economy. They subsidize the corporate culture with public debt, while abandoning the pubic at large, dividing our society economically into those subsidized by the public debt and those who must actually pay that debt back with money they make actually working.
The commingling of fake money with money made from actually working is how the scammers profit. The public debt is where the fake money came from in the first place. The debt is used to impregnate your investments for future extraction. If you can stomach holding your investments after the “easy money” ends, and your investments suddenly crash, your returns will be anemic.
Without another infusion of public debt, prompting the alien impregnators to reinvest their “earnings”, your investments will wither away. You need your investments to “grow”, so of course you support more public debt. If you tax the scammers they might not reinvest.
The system design itself is a political crime, it’s unsustainable, and unconstitutional and it’s the reason our cities are in chaos with drug-addicted zombies and bureaucratic corruption running amok.
The social divisions are increasing and the tensions are rising, and it’s all by design. The establishment is complicit in the political crime.
We need a more representative government to legislate public policy designed to favor the public. Both parties represent those profiting from the public debt. “They” have created a system based on a hierarchy of money, where they borrow the money for their own financial supremacy and force workers to compete with each other for access to it. “They” are administrating while vacationing.
We all work for them.
That’s why it’s important to understand that there’s an alternative to the massive inequality created by the scam. Tax the rich. First, in order to tax the rich, we need a more representative government, based on a new apportionment act, to update our democracy.
As explained in; Tax Bracket Apportionment
I’m trying to watch the news here about the debt ceiling. I keep reaching for the remote to mute the bombardment of pharmaceutical side effects and insurance jingles. But alas, the constant back and forth eludes me quite often and I just watched a guy for about a solid minute telling me we can supply me with Viagra for as little as 87 cents a tab with free shipping. I couldn’t help but juxtapose that with the ongoing battle against abortion rights being waged against women. We’re gonna make guns and boners as easy as possible to get, for men, but we will outlaw health-care options for pregnant women? And allow men to compete in their sports.
That is so hypocritical it boggles the mind. I would love to explore that debate further to better illuminate the conspiracy dividing us. The binary choice of the duopoly inevitably compromises your ideology to conform to one side or the other, when both sides are wrong about something, to most people.
It’s always a great debate when the debt ceiling debate comes to town. It’s a discussion as important as the filibuster but just as confusing, for the public. The debt ceiling question is simply this; Do we tax those making massive profits? Or do we borrow their money to pay our bills. Should we tax or borrow?
It’s a democratic decision.
The government just decided. Instead of taxing billionaires and corporations, they will keep selling our debt to them. We will pay them to buy our debt so we don’t have to tax them.
The obesely wealthy will “invest” in our “bonds” for more profit, as they have done over and over, instead of being taxed. For over thirty trillion dollars now, the public has borrowed their money to create private profits for them, instead of taxing them.
We went broke and they got rich. It’s pretty simple math.
The policy is backwards. The public debt is a double whammy for democracy. It deprives the public of representation and it gives massive advantage to those billing our government. The revolving door between corporations and our government makes them one and the same, extracting the taxpaying public because they can.
The establishment, as defined by those who invest in the system of inflation, are adversaries, politically and economically, to the public. That’s the problem. The public debt creates more inequality, favoring the establishment, which is backwards and in need of correction.
The establishment is heavily invested in the military budget. Like crypto, and other investments that require public debt, they are overfunded as policy to extract maximum private profits.
Stimulus = Inflation = Debt = Inequality = Scam
Concerts have become money laundering scams now as well, for investors. Where the children of the over-invested corporate lizards drop a grand a ticket to see their favorite stars perform. At the same time public assistance allowances are being slashed, for the public.
Trillions of dollars created from public debt over the last decade was not fairly distributed. It has created separate economies. The inequality is intentional, unethical, and in need of political correction asap. That could happen with a more representative government.
The era of easy money from public debt needs to be reconciled now, with taxes, to correct the inequality the era of easy money perpetrated against the public. The rich got massively richer from the public debt, and will continue to do so, now without a ceiling.
The economy has been privatized and monopolized and sold to those who can afford to invest in the anti-democratic scam. The easy money scam makes investing for some very easy, to profit from the public debt, so they can afford to pledge their allegiance to the division.
The Debt Ceiling 2
The debt ceiling debate is a window into the grander scam. The rising public debt is an ongoing political crime. The public debt allows massive and unjustifiable profits to remain untaxed. The public debt is the beating heart of the scam and the lizards keep it tax-free for maximum shareholder value. Our debt should be reconciled by taxing the establishment, not by raising inflation on the public, like they do.
You get another cost of living raise.
Think of big government as big public debt, because that’s what it is. The bigger our debt the bigger our government is. The less the public gets for its debt the more corrupt the government is. The lizards will say they are against big government while creating more and more public debt, like clockwork. So they’re all lying. The profits come from their purchases of over-leveraged investment scams, bailed out with pubic debt. Now that the ceiling has been removed, they can pay our debts to those that loaned us the money, again, so they can buy more and more of our debt, for a profit, again.
They live off of our public debt, like super-rich welfare vampires, guilt tripping you for not having a job while they suck your money from a hypothetical future that depends on them monopolizing growth even further, and maximizing profits, and squeezing you, even more.
The Fed trying to reduce inflation as the government raises the debt ceiling is irreconcilable. It’s like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. It’s a totally insincere gesture by the establishment, against the public, and proves the system itself is a construct of, by, and for, the scammers, against the public. The fed will skip a rate hike.
The public debt feeds the golden goose that props up the fraudulent profits of the investor class, who buy our politicians, who pretend to be against the debt while they raise the debt ceiling, again and again. Each time they do it increases the inflation further for the rest of us. Raising the debt ceiling will raise inflation. It’s the same thing.
The public debt is a theft from the public by the establishment. You can tell it’s a scam because as the public debt keeps getting bigger, the inequality keeps getting worse. Our government is increasing inequality with public debt which proves who they serve, and who they don’t serve. They serve the extraction scammers, not the public.
You can almost smell the greed.
Investors buy and sell the deeds, called securities, to profit off of the work of others. Those profits are actualized by depriving that money from those who actually work. That’s a form of slavery subsidized by corporate bonds and public debt, to maximize profits for investors. Shareholders squeeze their adversarial demographics for maximum profiteering. As bad as that is for the workers who are getting squeezed, it’s still not enough profit for the greedy shareholders. It never is.
The massive profits comes from public debt.
I just heard it argued that the public debt already costs every citizen $9000 in personal debt. Which is the wrong way to look at it. Not every citizen will ever pay taxes, or should have to. And even if they do, that’s not the point.
A more accurate and relevant way to look at the scam is to consider the advantages given to the few people who profit massively from the rising public debt. They buy the bonds with the money that the government should be taxing them for, but doesn’t.
The scam can last a few more generations, they say, before the full faith and credit collapses in a collective cry of calling foul against the establishment, for cheating the public for decades.
Their economy is an accumulation of digital wealth now, through financial sector fraud that goes unchallenged by the hyper-partisans, who collectively serve themselves with favorable law. They have profited from the looting of our treasury one generation after the next. It has become a business model you can invest in. And probably do. The irony and hypocrisy of that reality appears to go unnoticed by most in the establishment, I’ve noticed.
Massive wealth from corrupted ledgers.
This economy keeps making untaxed multi-millionaires and millions of people are okay with that, supposedly, which shows that they are either profiting from the scam or don’t understand it. Either way the scam remains the same. It’s normalized corruption rationalized as legitimate. The scam is being committed by the establishment against the taxpaying public who make money from actually working. Workers who make money with their time, not with their money. That’s an important distinction to understand. Time versus Money.
Time = Money = Representation
To prevent being scammed, we should peg our currency to the amount of time that our projected population is expected to live. The more people who are alive, the more money is allowed in circulation. It’s more politically accountable in a digital world, where the financial sector industry becomes exponentially richer by the editing of their own digital ledgers. Which probably happens a lot.
The extraction scam is a business cycle that happens over and over, leveraged each time for even more and more bigger bubbles of fraudulent profits reconciled only with either debt or taxes. The scammers are not about to tax themselves. They never do. And you ain’t got any money. So they’ll tax your future, by raising the debt ceiling, again, and again.
All the while the establishment threatens that the public will be decimated if the debt limit isn’t increased. If the extraction scam profits are interrupted the poor working class masses will be the ones to take the hit, so says the multi-million dollar news pundits on my favorite corporate propaganda channels.
The truth is, like all of our laws, the implementation of any enforcement will be arbitrary and decided by those in power at the time. There are no rules they can’t change. Our government is funded by the benevolence of our corporate lizard overlords. They pay our legislators to enact tax-cuts for them, and service cuts for you.
They will do what they like and rationalize it however they have to. Our politicians are winging it as they go, improvising as necessary to explain their ulterior motives as honest. I suspect most of congress hasn’t even read the rules, or they would object to the chronic constitutional violations that have become normalized.
Congress rolls like Justice Thomas with his ongoing ethics scandals. He said somebody told him his corruption was legal. That was good enough for his jurisprudence. The interpretations of law are always debatable and they are now most likely to be misinterpreted for investor profits.
Lawrence and his pundits are claiming that the unlimited debt ceiling hike is a victory for Biden and the dems. Which is wrong. So I have to point out his conflict of interest is self evident. Mr. O’ loves the debt. As does the entirety of the establishment. The public debt allows for their multi-million dollar salaries to exist, and they know it.
To me, avoiding disaster is another loss disguised as a victory by the “progressives” who are too “conservative” to demand a more equitable and more ethical distribution of our public debt. A win would have been closing loopholes, or a wealth tax, or a gains tax, or a targeted appropriation for democracy, or Main Street relief, or some token taxes on the rich, at least, would have been a small win.
So many problems we can’t afford to fix, as Americans.
But no, nothing. There’s was no attempt to prevent the inevitable consumption of our money by the monster. It’s all business as usual on K Street. Now the establishment investors with their pools of dark mystery money will continue to saturate themselves in the swamp, over-leveraging their profits to buy our politicians and to betray the public interest, for the foreseeable future.
Expect increased covert appropriations for the “war” effort.
I saw the looney tune reps stepping up, pretending to be fiscally sane for the cameras, for political points. Why give Biden a blank check? They ask. We all know they are disingenuous servants of the lizard class, but nobody cares.
The dangerous political entertainers ask the wrong question. The right question for all of the disingenuous and sanctimonious corporate freedom caucus shills out there, is this: Do you think we should raise taxes on the wealthy to reduce the debt? Shouldn’t we make those who get rich from public debt pay more in taxes? Shouldn’t we fund the social security system and other social health programs necessary for the sake of domestic civility? To make life better for the public?
You know they’re not for that.
No, they want to squeeze the poor masses further into debt, as opposed to taxing those profiting from the scam. Even if they look, which Is unlikely, the scammers don’t see it as a scam.
I’m still waiting for a counterpoint in my forum.
The partisan logic is to blame, again. The democrats are always quick to fail, for the public, while calling their loss a victory. That’s what they do best and that’s what they just did, again. The dems could have demanded taxes and got them, if they wanted to, but they don’t. Both sides like it just how it is. The partisans are economic allies against their opposition, the public. The betrayal is self-evident.
Make no mistake, the republicans will not threaten the golden goose, so the dems had leverage up the wazoo, and they didn’t use it, as usual. It’s totally inexcusable yet totally typical and once again unifies the partisans to the scam, against the public. The public by and large remains clueless, because of our “news”.
The taxation alternative was not even really discussed. Taxation should be the only discussion on the debt ceiling table but somehow it’s all about the looming disaster. The dems should not negotiate with terrorist extremist threats from the right, foreign or domestic. But they do. They have decided to stay the course, to protect and defend the scam, for them, and pretend to avert a disaster, for you.
Biden should have called the debt a national emergency and told the house to take a hike, or take him to court. He should’ve said the payments will continue either way. The debt ceiling is unconstitutional in the first place so forcing the court to rule on it is the right thing to do. Biden won’t do that. I hear he’s gonna build a pipeline for his oily overlords, or something. They always lurk behind the scenes pulling their secret strings of persuasion, and the partisans oblige.
What the dems do is more of a collusion than a resistance.
This vote is more proof that the duopoly occupying our government is not economically or financially representative of the public, which is the kind of representation that matters most. Our government is increasingly made of globalist shareholders who are milking America for money, like a cow, for profit. They represent the establishment.
Politicians are, by and large, agents of the financial services sector pretending to be community organizers. Corporate news pundits are on that team as well, along with all executives of all publicly traded companies and those who profit from them, and the other institutions funded with antigovernment tax policies. Collectively they are all the establishment. They have abandoned the public. The entire system is now a scam of invested and leveraged debt for private profits reconciled with more public debt. It’s a political crime in progress and should be reversed with a new apportionment act, legislated by a representative government, elected in an honest democracy and facilitated by a new, commercial free, citizens’ network app.
To pay for it, we should tax monopolies properly.
Taxing the scammers is the right thing to do. We should reconcile the deficit and reduce the debt with taxes. But, we won’t. That won’t happen here because the scammers control the government that legislates our foregone conclusion.
Here, have some money.
We will, of course, raise the debt ceiling, because we have a debt-based economy, making the establishment rich and very sensitive about tax increases. Their multi-million dollar paychecks depend on the ever-increasing public debt. Of course the debt limit will be increased as necessary to validate their meritocratic belief system.
That’s how our system works.
The logical alternative to raising the debt ceiling is to tax the over-compensated ill-gotten gains of the financial sector. Those who profited most back then should be over-taxed now to reconcile the public ledger. All of the tax loopholes should be ended, and money removed from politics, completely, for an honest democracy.
Capitalism
The professionals say world disaster is looming for the global economy if we don’t raise the debt ceiling. That means we must extract more money from the taxpayers or risk a potential market crash and cutting services to those who need them most. Everybody is for raising the debt ceiling because of the unimaginable consequences if “we” don’t raise it, they say.
Proving capitalism requires public debt or it will fail. Those who got rich from the corporations and public debt would rather millions of people suffer than pay more taxes. And they’re in charge.
Which proves what I’ve been saying about debt-based prosperity here all along. It’s a fraud. The gains realized by today’s establishment are largely stolen from the public’s future. It’s not capitalism at all. The system is a scam. They just call it capitalism in hopes you will confuse that word with the word commerce. Commerce is necessary.
Capitalism is about leveraging debt for greater marketshare for private profits, that should be taxed. If the government actually taxed massive profits properly, the system might work as theorized for the public. But they don’t so capitalism only works for the establishment and it works against the public. Any benefit to the public is incidental.
It reminds me of the great financial crisis bailout when these same experts said we must bailout the investors instead of the mortgages. And nobody went to jail. It’s a little like the recent FDIC insurance scam with derelict bankers and regulators making a fortune for failing, all legal, apparently. These are all tactics of the extraction scam they call capitalism.
The practice is actually political corruption which is considered legal and normalized by and for establishment profits. Profits are created from over-leveraging the full faith and credit of our country, to build privately owned monopolies they ironically call public. Anybody with enough money can invest in the scam.
It’s a globalized private profit pyramid-scheme.
The corporate lizards want unlimited and uninsured debt guaranteed by the taxpayers, from now on. What could go wrong? The lizards don’t see a problem with that. They will legalize the scam, moving forward. And president Biden seems eager to please them all, like the loyal institutionalist that he is.
I’d love to see a debate on the final bill but, you know, they all agree, and it seems good enough to them to say, no limits, let’s move along. Which to me, proves that what we practice here is not capitalism at all. It’s a Treasury robbery without rules that trickles an allegiance down to the establishment, from public debt.
Being against raising the debt ceiling is like being for the market crashing, they say. It’s like being against poor people eating. Of course you are for raising the debt ceiling. Everybody is for taking more money from the future, right? What’s the problem?
Inflation is skyrocketing for those not on vacation.
Instead of taxing the disposable income of those becoming rich from the scam, the establishment will steal the the public’s money, again, from the future. That’s what they do. That’s where all the profit came from in the first place. They borrowed it. So it’s a tried and true process, for now. Ironically it’s really just a way to keep paying themselves way more than they deserve, with taxpayer money paying for their excessive earnings.
And then they complain about the public debt burden we’re leaving to their children, right after paying a grand a piece for Taylor Swift tickets, so the entire family can enjoy a night out at the show.
The irony escapes them.
The establishment doesn’t like the debt ceiling debate. The debt ceiling forces them to rationalize their irreconcilable profits in public. So the conversation is constrained. It’s a shameful duty that kicks the can from one greedy administration to the next. Raising the debt ceiling rubber-stamps our corrupted economy one increase at a time. You know they don’t like that. Eventually they’ll end it, effectively ending our “democracy”.
We had no choice, they’ll say.
Ultimately, ending the debt limit will allow unlimited leverage to some who will purchase everything, for themselves. The establishment will own everything eventually, from the money they borrowed from us, to monopolize growth for themselves, because they could. There’s no conspiracy here, is there? You can invest in their monopolies. If you have enough money.
Move along now, they’ll say.
Then when you complain, they will call you a communist and act like the debate is about ownership of private property, when in reality the question is about the validity of their wealth creation. The method in which their money was “made” in the first place, was a fraud. So the gains are part of the same crime and should be confiscated with taxes and fees by the government, imo, for civility, and justice, for the public.
We should take the money back. That’s what a representative government would do. Ours won’t. They’ve got 30 trillion dollars leveraged in fractional reserve profits that are impossible to pay back because they never really existed.
The establishment has rubber-stamped their advantage again, this time without limits. The spending will not be questioned, as we spend a trillion bucks a year just to service our “debts”. There will be no limits to the amount of public debt we can spend for capitalism to “succeed”, or at least to prevent the disaster of it failing. Which ironically, is exactly what it does, constantly.
You see the irony? It’s not capitalism.
The intention of the 14th amendment, the debt will not be questioned, is if some rogue conspiracy undermines our government by bankrupting us, and succeeds, as is happening. We, as a voting public could then have a democratic recourse by raising taxes against them, the rogue conspiracy. After the public regains control of the government we raise taxes on those who looted the treasury, is the theory of the amendment.
That’s the intention of the unquestionable debt clause.
That’s what we the people should do. Take the money back. We should eliminate the deficit, and the debt. We should balance the budget with taxes, and tariff imports, and create domestic job guarantees, for starters. Then clean our cities of poverty and crime. That’s what we should do, for the public.
And then some idiot asks, “Who’s gonna pay for it?”.
A debt ceiling that can be raised is not a ceiling at all. It’s a credit card without limits at a party for drunken billionaires, all trying to outspend each other, with our money, and they do. They have for decades. They keep getting richer spending the public’s money.
Our democracy will remain impossible and corruption will rule the earth, forevermore, without a representative government.
Corruption is already intractably embedded in our political system and can’t be removed by voting for whoever occupies the party seats. The government needs to be corrected structurally, and the only viable solution for that, at this point, is a citizen network, and expanded congressional delegations apportioned based on the public income distribution. That’s what we should do.
It’s important to understand that because money is representation. The power to legally counterfeit money is politically invincible, which makes our democracy completely impossible. The good news is there’s a solution. Get money out of politics, totally. The socioeconomic corrections will become possible after that. Until then, they’re not
Whenever there’s a squabble over the debt they always say “this money has already been spent”. So now would be the time, with our current no-cap on public spending, to invest in a fully functional, verifiable, and official, system for voting, commercial-free and as convenient as possible for all citizens.
Why don’t we do that?
The choice is either raise the debt ceiling or tax those with the money. The public doesn’t have the money, so the establishment will raise the debt limit. That way they can avoid taxing themselves, as usual. And that’s the problem.
The debt ceiling question should be forced into the court.
Is the debt ceiling limit legal if it violates the constitution? The 14th Amendment says the debt will not be questioned? That language is pretty cut & dry. The topic is off limits and for good reason. The government can create as much debt as it needs to survive. So the debt ceiling is indeed, by honest interpretation, unconstitutional.
Case closed.
The court won’t rule on the debt ceiling or the filibuster because it would set a precedent that the court could actually serve its constitutional purpose of determining if congressional rules are constitutional, or not. The debt cap and the sixty vote threshold are both unconstitutional along with a long list of other misinterpretations in progress that should be corrected by the court. That is a slippery slope towards democracy, though, with a crossroad to hypocrisy. They won’t be going there if they don’t have to. That’s a safe bet.
The public debt Is the lynch-pen of the scam. Stop the debt and the scam breaks, which is inevitable, sooner or later. The public must assume more debt or capitalism itself will fail, as it does, over and over, Which proves whatever you call it, it doesn’t work, for the public. Capitalism would not require an ever-rising amount of money from public debt, to prosper.
Capitalism is corruption rationalized.
The debt based prosperity from public debt is corruption. At its core, it’s a form of fraudulent profiteering that comes from investing in growth with borrowed money commingled with money people earned by working. It’s a way to leverage wealth to steal the earnings of workers and taxpayers, and the business model should be ended and the inequities of the policies financially corrected with taxes to fund our democracy.
The government should provide a network to the citizenry that is commercial free and equipped with an interface that has the capability to communicate properly without anonymous interference. Then, there would actually be a debate happening somewhere that wasn’t rigged by the establishment, but there’s not.
It’s just a bunch of lies and noise.
Watching the news has become a difficult challenge because of how stupid and fake the entire narrative has become. The democrat media outlets are All Trump all the time. The entire weekend was spent speculating Trump would be arrested because he said he would be, and of course, he wasn’t. And even if he was, at this point, who cares? Whatever. It’s a shameless clown show.
The republican alternative channels are even worse. But what’s worse than all of it is the commercials. Corporate ads are repeated in idiotic redundancy. As if we all have AIDS, and we’re going to ask our doctors to prescribe your overpriced crime. Commercialized news is a poltical crime and survives like everything else, on poltical dereliction.
Pharmaceutical investments, like their commercials, are a political crime. Our medical system is surrounded by insurance companies and institutional investors milking the public like some kind of cow, oh yeah. That’s where milk comes from. I wonder if they still teach that in public schools. No, not anymore, milk comes from the markets, children. You can invest in it, if you have enough money. So be sure to work hard and save your money in the monopolies that control the economy.
That’s critical cow theory.
But already, I digress into investors. I don’t have much time for writing lately because I actually manufacture a product myself, as opposed to just being invested in the grand private/public market scam. I don’t profit much from the public debt scam or the market of fluctuating prices scam. I pay more for everything because of those scams. I don’t get the cost of living increases necessary to compensate for the inflation, like investors and corporations do. That’s because I work on Main Street. I am competing with the crimes perpetrated against the public by our government and the corporate crooks who control them, and conspire with them, for economic domination and democratic suppression.
So I’m at a disadvantage.
The government hands out bribes to every district in the country and that money trickles down to their political allies who collectively pretend their successful economy is not a publicly subsidized political crime against democracy, in progress. When it is.
They call that free market capitalism. It’s not that at all, but it sounds better than the truth. So that’s what they say. Like our commerce is somehow decided by supply and demand and not a generational scam to monopolize “growth” profits for those who “own” the production.
Oh, that’s rich.
Those who looted our treasury, pick winners and losers based on their political allegiance to the scam. If you are against the corporate overthrow of our democracy, like myself, you don’t receive the corporate gravy-work that you need to succeed in business, like ’the connected”. So the corporate conspiracy economy can literally control who succeeds and who fails on Main Street. They can provide or deprive work to businesses based on their political allegiance. And they do, while they invest in taxpayer bailouts, and succeed.
That’s how the system works. I’m not gonna do a deep dive into the minutia of that right now. Suffice to say the economy is sustained by corruption and public debt. The massive inequality produced by our public debt is a political crime.
Then you say wait, it’s only 150% of our GDP, we can sustain that. That’s when I stick my middle finger in your face and say your full of it. The financial sector is so corrupted that the GDP is as fraudulent as their earnings. The profits are a scam and can only be sustained by a government corrupt enough to prevent the economic correction the public requires.
The list of political crimes around here is very long. A political crime is when the government breaks the law or refuses to interpret the law correctly. Or when they neglect to prosecute those who break the law. They become the crime.
Judicial dereliction is a political crime. The Stormy Daniels hush money scandal has not only reared its ugly head again, it’s dominating the news cycle, along with a long list of other crimes committed by the cult leader. News is a very sick spectacle nowadays, watching them try to sell hope for justice with their drugs, insurance, and investment company ads. It’s twisted.
The news media is absolutely complicit in this fake news conspiracy. Three banks failed and the coverage lasted for as many days. The lone gunman who ran the SVB bank into the ground was hardly mentioned and nobody knows his name, like we knew the name of the lizard kid, Sam, from FTX. The news would prefer to inform you about Donald Trump, to keep their ad revenues up and keep you stupid, when it comes to political solutions. Seems to be working.
I’m too busy and too smart to waste my time with the fake news. I gotta mention though, what the lizards just did. They robbed the banks and the media pleaded stupidity for them. This kind of crime can only happen with the collusion of the entire establishment. Like the filibuster the establishment is wrong in a form of harmonic stupidity. They’ll call it group think, someday, but it’s not. It’s corruption. It’s a denial of their own complicity in the crime, disguised as stupid.
They’re all in on it.
Without that harmonic stupidity there would be justice for the public. These bank failures were massive premeditated crimes that they actually had to legislate to be legal in order for the crimes to succeed, and they did. Their political crime paid off, resulting in the bailouts they invested in.
Insert Deposit Here. Ka-Ching!
Which proves what I’ve been saying here for over a decade. Investors are investing in bailouts and it’s succeeding. It’s an extraction scam against the public, and it’s a political crime in progress.
Our monetary policy is a political crime against the public. It is an act of institutional fraud for profit that is allowed by the establishment. And nobody notices. Nobody seems to care.
The establishment has no clothes.
From left to right the professionals are calling the bank failures out as some kind of incompetence, as opposed to the crimes that they are. The system is fine, they say, as the banks “fail”. The problem is not systemic, it’s just bad risk management and that’s not a crime, they explain.
The system is working fine.
I’ve watched about all the news on the bank failures I could find, which became increasingly little, real fast. I’m not going to do a “news” breakdown on the details because this “system” pays people to do that for you. I’ll just point out how you can tell that they are all lying to you.
These bailouts are a crime pure and simple. Bailouts are a business model by design, to steal money from the public. Money, which equates to political representation, and because money is representation, the bailout is taxation without representation. Those were fighting words.
Like the American Revolution.
The entire establishment will tolerate the lies because they depend on the scam for their overcompensated investments. Public support will be denied in the name of fiscal prudence while investor profits are subsidized by public debt.
Success from failure.
First and foremost, bank bailouts don’t need to happen because banks don’t need to fail. The fed has unlimited capital to recapitalize banks to prevent insolvency and defaults. The reason banks fail is to extract public money through bailouts. It’s a scam.
The scam is a business model. If the bank didn’t fail they wouldn’t get bailed out with public money. So, the bank had to fail. The failure is always intentional. It’s a way, after stealing their market gains, to get a bailout.
FDIC Robbery
Then somebody parrots Biden, bank fees are paying for the bailouts, not taxpayers. Then we see my middle finger rising again, pointing at the kids table and telling you to go sit down, with the president. Banking should be “nationalized” but that’s a different discussion.
The forum is open for your harmonic stupidity.
There’s more holes in this official story than in Swiss cheese. A few notable mentions are that the depositors got bailed out this time, not the investors, they say. That’s because the investors and the depositors were the same people in the same scam.
The bank only had large “depositors”.
They deposited their money into the banks to be insured so they could invest that money x10, into their stupid “start-ups” that are designed to extract money from market fluctuations from “the sheep” and then fail in a timely fashion to maximize their extractive profits from the taxpayers.
So much for the bank run. Oh no, people took their money out. So what? So what if you don’t have the forty billion in cash to cover the withdrawals? So what? It’s all electronic money anyway, so Insolvency is a political choice.
The choice was to take the public’s money with a bailout, so the bank had to fail on purpose. The idea that the banks investments lost so much value that the bank became insolvent is absurd. Somehow they lost so much money on long-term bonds and mortgage backed securities, they say, that the bank crashed. As if nobody is listening.
The SVB investment model was supposedly so over-leveraged that a few points of interest caused everybody’s money to vanish. And now your money is gone. Hey, Look at Trump!
Then Joe Biden, our fearless, tool for the lizard elite, leader, says everybody gets a bailout now. We will guarantee all bank deposits for any amount now, from now on, as he proposes a $7 trillion dollar budget, appropriated to grease the institutional funding required for capitalism to continue “succeeding”.
Let that sink in for a minute. The man who gets dragged into court for trying to bail out some student loans, bails out the bank scam without debate, with a bottomless check. And nobody complains. He’ll guarantee any deposit for any amount, he says. As if that’s legal. It’s not. It’s not legal. It’s not capitalism. It’s corruption.
Post de-facto bailouts for the corrupt.
Supposedly unaware of the obvious scam, our president is so naive he will give the scammers the benefit of the doubt. As does literally the entirety of the establishment. It’s by design..
Billions of dollars have disappeared but don’t worry, you money is safe, they say.
The AG is AWOL
The agency responsible for oversight of bank compliance to capital requirements in the United States is the Federal Reserve System (FRS). The FRS is the central bank of the United States and is responsible for regulating the country’s monetary policy. The FRS also supervises and regulates banks and other financial institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the financial system.
The FRS works with other regulatory agencies, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), to establish and enforce capital requirements for banks. These requirements are designed to ensure that banks have sufficient capital to absorb potential losses and maintain their financial stability. The FRS regularly evaluates and monitors banks’ compliance with capital requirements and may take regulatory action, such as imposing sanctions or restrictions, for non-compliance.
They’re all in on the crime.
The same drug, insurance, and investment commercials just keep pounding the news viewer, year after year, while the news of the bank failures passed as fast as the super-bowl, with less fan-fare. Nobody cares. Business as usual.
Except for being reported occasionally in the future, with irrelevant updates, it’s over now, till the next bailout. Bailouts are just business as usual. The establishment merely pretends to object to the moral hazard of financial conspiracies and unethical stimulus scams, but they don’t. The bailout and the bank failure are the same crime, legislatively designed, committed perpetually, to profit the establishment and those invested in the extraction scam of fluctuating values.
Business as usual.
Making robbing the bank legal is the only way that they can sustain such a massive extraction of wealth from the taxpayers. So that’s what they’re going to do, they say. They will insure all deposits for any amount from now on, and look forward.
After looting our social-security system, to profit their extraction scam, they have decided that the only way they can continue to protect and defend their unsustainable scam against the public, is to make the scam legal. It’s a much more efficient way to steal money from workers and taxpayers. The bankers will invest in the scam, leveraged for maximum gain, and then succeed by the public failing again and again. Their private profits will rise in tandem with ever-increasing public debt.
Capitalism, they call it.
Who needs to invest in growth when you can simply deposit your money in the bank so the scammers can steal it. They get to keep your money but the government will have your back. So don’t worry. What’s a little inflation among friends? We’re all in this together, they say. Trickle down is coming your way real soon. Someday you’ll have lots of money. Then you can go shopping. It’s good for the economy.
Former Vice President Mike Pence argued that backstopping all depositors amounted to a bailout, a depiction the Biden administration has pushed back against strenuously. Pence blasted the government’s decision to insure all deposits, in part, because the move would cover Chinese companies that did business with the bank.
In May, the FDIC proposed tagging the largest banks with billions of dollars in extra fees to replenish the US government’s bedrock deposit insurance fund after it was tapped to backstop deposits above the $250,000 threshold. At the time, the regulator estimated the decision to cover all depositors at SVB and Signature cost the fund about $15.8 billion.
FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg has previously said that at SVB the guarantee to uninsured depositors covered small and midsize business, as well as those with very large balances, and that the bank’s top 10 depositor accounts held $13.3 billion total.
The new document underscores that in addition to serving a legion of startups and fledgling businesses, SVB was a go-to bank for tech industry giants, including some that have kept their relationships with the bank confidential.
The $1 billion that Sequoia, the firm famous for backing iconic companies including Apple, Google and WhatsApp, had at SVB made up a fraction of its $85 billion assets under management. In addition to maintaining its own accounts at the lender, the firm also recommended every startup it backed do the same, Michael Moritz, a partner at the firm, wrote in the Financial Times. A representative for Sequoia declined to comment on the depositor list.
Kanzhun, which had $902.9 million in deposits with SVB according to the document, didn’t respond to multiple emailed requests for comment. The company, which was heavily backed by Chinese giant Tencent before it went public on the Nasdaq in 2021, was among the largest Chinese companies to IPO in the US that year.
Altos Labs Inc., a life sciences startup that works on cell regeneration, had $680.3 million in deposits with the bank. The privately held company has raised $3.27 billion from billionaires including Jeff Bezos and Yuri Milner, as well as Mubadala Investment Company and other investors. An Altos representative declined to comment.
Payments startup Marqeta Inc. had $634.5 million at the bank, according to the document. In a statement, the firm acknowledged that it had “significant deposits” at SVB, but was already in the process of moving money to other banks. “While Marqeta supported the decision to guarantee all deposits at the bank, our ability to execute as a business and meet our financial obligations would not have been impacted, even if it was a longer resolution process” the firm said.
IntraFi Network, which provides deposit services to financial institutions, had $410.9 million worth of deposits at the bank, according to the document. However, in a statement, the firm said that it didn’t actually have any of its own money with the lender, nor was it a client. The amount, rather, represents the funds of almost 2,000 different depositors whose balances were fully insured when SVB collapsed, according to IntraFi.
Crypto stablecoin company Circle Internet Financial Ltd. previously disclosed its SVB deposits, which at the time represented 8.2% of the reserves backing its USD Coin. A spokesman said the company had no additional comment. The USD Coin, which is intended to maintain a 1-to-1 peg to the dollar, briefly drifted from that $1 level on the news of Circle’s exposure. The document listed it as SVB’s biggest depositor with a balance of $3.3 billion.
Streaming set-top box maker Roku Inc. also previously disclosed having roughly 26% of its cash and cash equivalents parked at the bank. The document listed its balance at $420 million. A Roku spokesman declined further comment.
Fintech company Bill.com previously disclosed it had roughly $670 million at the bank. The firm said the amount included about $300 million of its money and $370 million that belonged to customers. A company spokesman declined further comment. The FDIC document listed Bill.com’s total balance at $761.1 million.
Imagine you are working hard for your money, digging for gold with the other miners. The precious metal can be used to acquire goods and services so you toil your days away, mining for the precious metal that pays your bills. It’s hard work but you’re doing okay.
Then, you hear about a new metal in circulation. The corporate lizards are saying that their new metal is better than your gold and it’s worth more. You might have to pay more now for goods and services because they can also be acquired with their new mystery metal.
It’s a Wall Street product.
It’s reported the value of their metal is increasing exponentially. It’s worth so much more than yours now, they say, and keeps increasing in value, that you start to worry. The price is going up so fast that you come down with a bad case of FOMO, and you decide to invest in their product to calm your fears of missing out on the easy money.
After a closer look, you begin to realize that you have been spending your money on polished turds. It’s not gold at all. It’s not even metal. It’s not even really worth anything. Despite the extensive efforts spent to polish the turds, they have no value excepting that you paid for them.
Your polished turd investment now relies on the success of the shady turd-exchange. The value of your turds must continue to increase, or else you lose your money. You hear that everybody else is getting rich polishing their turds to sell at the exchange.
So you buy a sophisticated dual-use turd polishing system and start polishing turds yourself, professionally. You become a turd polishing expert and it starts to pay off.
You start to earn more turds.
The turd polishing proves that the turds have value, they say. Surely, something as innovative as a highly polished turd is proof enough that it has value.
They call that, “proof of polishing”.
The polishing proves that the value comes from work. It’s just like mining for precious metals, in a way, they say, except that the computer does the work.
Polished turds will revolutionize currency and the way we transact commerce, they say, someday. So take a chance and invest.
You have plenty of disposable “fiat” gold, due to loose monetary policy, so you buy more and more turds and their value increases. Your turd-wallet is growing fat with turds and all is well.
But then the turd critics become suspicious. They contend that the turd polishing process stinks and it is also unfriendly to the environment, so it should be ended. The public begins to dislike the turds.
The lizards say no problem, their technology is flexible. The turd value validation process from polishing will now simply be replaced with proof of turd ownership. Those who own the most turds will validate new turd transactions from now on. They will keep a small piece of turd for themselves, from each transaction, for their validation efforts.
So your turd polishing expertise is now obsolete because the turd value validation process is coming to and end. It turns out the turds are just as valuable even if they are unpolished.
You decide to sell your turd polishing hardware. No problem, you say. You still have faith in the value of your turds, polished or not.
If everybody keeps buying and selling the turds they will continue to increase in value, like our stock markets. Traditional markets are suspiciously similar to the turd-trading exchanges, and collectively they now continue to crash.
If you can’t sell your turds, you will have lost your money. The volatility of your asset values are a gamble and you never know just how low your turds can go. So you buy and hold.
The lizards say buy and hold.
Then overnight, the value of the turds drop exponentially and your turd investment is now “underwater”, with the potential to becoming completely worthless. It turns out the turd exchange place was unregulated and the lizards took off with all of your gold.
Now you are left holding a bunch of polished turds that have no value. All you can do is hope that the government will step in and regulate the turd exchange to give the other lizard investors confidence that the value of their useless turds will one-day return. Maybe when the easy money returns, the value of your turds will as well.
If the exchange is regulated, they say, maybe you can get your money back, someday, during the next cycle of the ongoing, but now regulated scam, of fluctuating turd values.
The turd exchange is so similar to the stock-market it doesn’t matter to the lizards that there’s no underlying value to their turds. There’s no problem with the turds, say the lizards. As long as they can profit from the volatile margins between turd buyers and sellers everything will be fine. That’s how the lizards roll. That’s how they make most of their money, trading fluctuating turd values, guaranteed by the taxpayers.
The problem, they say, is that the lizards at the turd exchange were fraudulent actors. They ignored all the standard exchange protocols and violated all of the laws that regulate investment exchanges.
We have a fraud problem here, committed by bad actors, they say, not a turd problem. The turds are fine. They are just like other investments, but more profitable. Turds are a safe bet.
In reality, the lizards merely leveraged themselves so much disposable income that they could afford to start an industry of polished turds and take people’s money on the hype that the turds would be worth massive amounts of money someday.
You can create a turd economy if you throw enough money at it. And that’s what we did. We pay people too much to do a bunch of crap and they invest their disposable income into the markets, speculating profit bubbles until they burst. The resulting crash is the transfer of wealth from the unsuspecting investors that work, to the institutionally over-leveraged “market makers” that don’t, and their shareholders. Wall Street cashes in their commingled chips causing many investors to sell in a panic. The lizards buy back in for the low. Then the government injects more public debt into the markets and we start the cycle over.
The extraction scam is what the lizards do for a living. We throw public debt at the scam to make it profitable for them. But it never is for the public. The government chooses to print money causing inflation rather than tax the scam.
The turd exchange works like musical chairs, or the old hot potato game. The music plays and the hot-potato gets tossed around until suddenly the music stops. The turd values drop and the potato has nowhere to sit. You lose. Turns out you were the potato in this game, and the lizard controlled the music, so the game is rigged, by design. They call it “unregulated”.
Those who have stolen your money hyping the turds, now want their scam to be regulated, to validate their future turd scams. And now, so do you. Now that you are invested in their turd scam you are motivated to perpetuate it. It’s the easiest and laziest way to make money, they say, and that’s exactly what you want to do, for a living, make money managing turds. The industry is so profitable and so fun it’s hard to believe you can actually generate revenue trading turds.
But, there it is.
Polished turds are the future of the world, they say. The polished turd scam will prevail whether we like it or not. That’s how innovative the polished turd technology is, they say. Don’t get left behind.
Millions of people are knee deep in the polished turd industry now, evangelizing the beauty of the new value. They are trying to establish their turds as a currency, to be exchanged in the economy alongside your hard earned money.
In the end it was all a scam. There was never really any turds at all. There was no polishing of the turds. They were all just virtual assets with no underlying purpose, except as a token vehicle to buy and sell in order to make profit from the market of fluctuating values. The scam was only profitable due to the disposable income leveraged for the establishment to spend on itself, by the authority of the emergency borrowing powers they bestowed onto themselves.
Let them buy turds. The turd reserves are bottomless.
The profits came from public debt. The debt represents the goods and services that would have otherwise been available and provided to the public in an honest democracy. That money went to the establishment.
If we had a representative government protecting the public the leveraged debt would provide ethical growth for everyone, not just massive profits for establishment lizards, like the FTX kids.
I don’t really care about the crypto-lizard FTX kids, specifically. It’s clear to anybody with a half a brain that they could not have done this crime without a lot of corrupt collusion from the establishment lizard authority. Their power is derived from judicial dereliction and the unethical legal interpretations by our confederate courts.
Our entire economy is a conspiracy, imo. Anybody who can afford to invest in crypto deserves to be taxed for that same amount. Their crypto should be confiscated and any value deposited into the social security system to ensure an adequate retirement plan for the public. We need a senior citizen safety net.
We don’t need lizard overlords.
The purpose of a representative government is to ensure the common good by enforcing ethical law, which includes taxing massive profits properly. We don’t do that here. We say our system provides for unlimited profits to those who can earn them, by legal means, while they extract their fortunes from the public, illegally, by corruption and judicial dereliction.
The scam is allowed and institutionally missdefined to pretend that our monetary practices are within the constraints of the law, when they’re not, and that our policies benefit the public, when they don’t.
The office of legal council believes and defines corruption as technically legal and the Supreme Court has ruled for a buyer beware economy.
So it’s up to you. You must not only beware of being scammed, but also, you must stop the scammers yourself, as well.
The law ain’t gonna do it. It’s up to you, they say. They’re not into prevention. Much like our health care system, our judicial system is a reactionary practice that profits off of its own relevance, to the public. The more you need them the more money the establishment makes.
So it’s up to you, they say. And you ain’t gotta chance. The system has been designed that way or at least it is being interpreted that way, as “free”, so that the robbery they call our economy can be maintained.
Publicly mandated private profits go to the establishment and the global lizard elite, instead of benefiting the domestic population, like would happen in an honest democracy.
The disinformation about inflation has become cartoonish from the professionals. They get paid the big bucks to keep a straight face while lying to you in corporate harmony, about the need for an economic recession to combat inflation.
The lie is quite absurd.
I heard the pundits rationalize that inflation is caused by your mindset. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy based on your fears of scarcity and poverty. You did this, they say, because you were given too much money relative to your contribution to the economy. Now they want their money back, again. It’s a cycle of leverage and extraction.
The billionaires have taken over. They make untold fortunes for their contribution to society. They have declared themselves owners of production. They hold the deeds. They have monopolized profits for themselves, moving forward, and socialized their expenses by invoicing the public, with taxes.
The result of our economic policies are a matter of mathematical fact regardless of who says what. It’s merely a matter of how ethical that result is, and most people don’t know, or care. The inequality continues to grow, seeding a billionaire class from public debt, further dividing the population, economically, into owners and workers, royalty and peasantry, masters and slaves.
That’s the plan. The confederate lizards will once and for all crush the spirit of the American Revolution through privatization, extraction, and inflation. And they will call the freedom to oppress the public – liberty.
And they will be applauded.
Their financial supremacy in the hierarchy of money that serves as our democracy, will be unstoppable. Global lizard incorporated is designing a giant monolithic monopoly to sell shares to those in political allegiance to their unethical and antidemocratic ideas of corporate governance. It’s an ideology of greed.
Rather than regurgitate the absurdities that everybody already “believes” about the Fed and how interest rates are their only tool to reduce inflation, I’ll just briefly remind you of the money printing and how we could have taxed fat cats for it, and explain again how inflation is a tactic by an institutional adversary to sustain financial domination, over the voting public.
That national demise is intentional. The national demise is the loss of our democracy by economic inequality and that’s what’s happening.
Our monetary policy has been used to create massive inequality to sustain the financial supremacy of those that control the policy.
That’s corruption.
Monetary authority needs to be an elective office, directly accountable to the public through federal elections. The congress contracts our public monetary authority to a contractor, because they don’t trust themselves, they say, suggesting they might do what their contractor just did.
The government didn’t want to guard the treasury so they hired the job out to their colleagues, who robbed it. They had to loot the treasury or return their overcompensated incomes to the public. They took the money in order to cover their obscenely absurd market gains and bonuses. They declared their excessive profits and invoiced the public.
They looted the public treasury by public policy.
The purpose of monetary policy is to stabilize the value of our currency and to maintain employment for economic growth. The establishment failed on both counts without apology. Employment is as volatile as our money is now, they say. We need a recession to correct the easy money policies we have practiced for decades, that made us rich.
We have been looted.
The results are self-evident. Whether the disfunction is intentional or not the result is the same and so is the remedy. The problem is the establishment is against the remedy. They have legislated financial supremacy for themselves fair and square and they intend to keep it.
The remedy to the problem is a new apportionment act that recognizes money is representation, not belief. And that our congressional delegations should begin being apportioned by tax brackets and blah, blah.
I’ve noted the remedy elsewhere. Back to the problem.
Quick recap of what happened. The economy has been given emergency money made possible by the fed, who have unlimited credit to spend, for the public. The pubic has borrowed and spent enough money to cover the ongoing economic emergency for decades, to birth the billionaire class.
With the QE and the stimulus packages, and all of the government spending to float corporations, the cost to the public to finance the scam was what? Twenty trillion dollars? Give or take in the last fifteen years. All of the money spent by the government trickles back up to shareholders, so they have the incentive for more and more government spending, while pretending to be against it. They’re not,
They’re for small government, they say, as the welfare trickles up into their investments.
The establishment has made a fortune from public spending in the last few years. The money printing and borrowing causes inflation for everybody. Inflation invoices those who can afford it least.
The lizards can afford it.
Asset values are declining now and the lay-offs are being announced. We’re heading for a recession, they say, due to the quantitative money tightening policy. After decades of pouring zero percent loans into the ever-rising markets, they have decided to cool off the economy by raising interest rates. It’s just a cycle, they say. It was great while it lasted.
They don’t know how deep the recession will be, for the public, or how long it will last, but they need to take their money back now to prevent higher prices. They were too loose for too long with their easy money policy. Now that they’re rich, you will need to be laid-off to ensure price stability.
That’s how our system works.
In order for those who made fortunes from their investments, to keep their fortunes, millions will now lose their jobs. That’s how we do it. The method of money creation is a scam. It should never have been legal in the first place. I contend corruption was the original intent. And that it has succeeded. And now saturates our economy.
Everybody’s doing it.
I’ve got a great idea. Let’s start a bank and everybody can give us their money. We will invest it for them and make a good profit for ourselves, and give the depositors a good return. When that plan fails, and of course it will, because our profits always outpace their growth, the public will bailout our losses with public debt. The process can turn losses into profit.
The idea can turn turds into gold.
The moral-hazard of the idea proves that banking should be a government function accountable to the voters. It should not be private.
Banking would not be a private profit function in an honest democracy. Neither would healthcare and education. They should be government services provided to the public as necessary, just like the military and the police are, or space travel.
Back to the idea;
Then we’ll have investors commingle their money into our over-leveraged assets and we’ll crash the values, for a profit, for us. Then we’ll take our profits from that crash and start a new currency, and trade it back and forth, in our own markets, for never-ending profits, by exchanging values for more and more money, fueled by the perpetually extracted taxpaying public. It can’t fail.
It’s so synergistic. Aren’t we clever?
The growth of workers and consumers coming into the system will ensure the sustainability of the profits for us. As long as people keep giving us their money the plan will continue to work. The pyramid of profits will continue to grow. If our profits stall, we’ll just keep adding more and more public debt as necessary, as has happened.
That’s what we did.
Once the investments can no longer sustain the profits from growth, we’ll start a new market, with dark money, and call it crypto. Our ill-gotten gains from previous scams will be the seed money for the largest financial fraud in the history of the world.
What could go wrong?
First of all the plan can only create profits by creating more public debt. So it’s a political crime. The profits come from inflation and borrowed stimulus, and from other unethical derivative means, like counterfeiting or speculating.
Secondly, and more importantly, these examples of investment banking fraud make clear that banking, like our monetary policy, should belong, as intended, to the congress, that is representative economically, comparatively, to the public.
Monetary policy should be democratically elected and judicially accountable to the public for their actions. That’s how we should do it.
We should do that.
Currently, we subsidize excessive private profits for some, with public debt, which should have always been illegal. Our policy is now in need of a massive correction. We need action by taxation for the sake of fairness and justice for the public.
Instead, the dark money, will hide from taxation, offshore, and laundered in unregulated exchanges, waging war against the dollar to devalue our purchasing power and further undermine our democracy. And we are doing it to ourselves.
It’s what we do.
When the economy is stimulated by the government, with public money, to ensure consumers can afford to survive, all of that money eventually is spent by the public to profit the global monopolies of the conflict-based economy, and their shareholders, who have financially abandoned the public by monopolizing growth.
The bipartisan establishment has printed money for decades in order to cover the excessive gains on their private profit investments. That’s not growth, that’s inflationary counterfeiting that profits the establishment and penalizes the public.
For instance
President Biden has forced the railroad unions to cave on their demands for sick days. It is another perfect example of the establishment pretending that we’re a capitalist free market economy while the government intervenes to protect investor profits. The government overruled the union for investor profits, as usual.
Our entire financial system should be democratically accountable and reconciled for ethical balance, but it’s not. It’s a bipartisan scam that illustrates that the political divide is not republican versus democrat, it is the establishment versus the public and the public is being abandoned, financially.
It’s the money that matters
The value of the public’s money is being extracted from the dollar and moved into the the dark money world of crypto-currency. The dark ledger grows fat with corruption while the old world currency loses value by extraction.
Asset values have collapsed and the money has “vanished”. Law enforcement pretends they don’t have the authority to police financial crimes. In reality, the crimes are legal by current interpretation.
Is crypto a commodity or a security? The answer is that it’s neither. Crypto is software. The authorities say they have no jurisdiction because they just don’t know what it is. They haven’t gotten the guidance, they testified last week. The result is crypto, the biggest Ponzi-scheme in the history of the world, goes unregulated, and moving forward to normalization after stealing money from all the suckers who invested in it last fall, after the MSM shamelessly pumped up the value of that crap with commercial free programming in prime time. Crypto was totally hyped by the corporate powers right before the great crypto-dump of 2022, where 2/3 of crypto value disappeared into the global ether of cyber-wallets. The real money vanished.
Buy and Hold
Right before the big crypto crash MSM was pumping the crap out of crypto. It was a well-orchestrated scam to get the masses to invest in the pyramid scheme. I just heard some disinformation agent testify that as many as ten percent of the population has invested in the scam.
The main point about crypto is that it is merely a software product. It’s not money, it’s not a security, and it’s not a commodity.
Crypto is software and’s that’s all it is. It has no place in an index with other currencies yet there it is, bribing it’s way in, to establish that the value it proclaims to have is real, when it’s not.
It’s no wonder crypto is featured prominently on google finance. Their synergy of privatization reeks of self-interest and anti-democratic collusion by the confederate establishment.
Google, like twitter, and all of the other basic functionality that a computer system can provide should be made available to the public by the government, as a commercial free non-profit utility. If the government provided a citizen network, free from commercial profiteering, as they should, the ability of Google’s shareholders to make absurd profits, from “their” software, would end.
The authorities are considering what path they should take to best regulate the crypto scam. The irony is the scam has been illegal all along but practiced as normal. Crypto is the perfect example of a pure and potent corruption. Crypto should be abolished completely. Like other crimes it should be outlawed. Instead, the authorities claim no jurisdiction as justification for the dereliction to do their duty to enforce the law. They are complicit.
It’s up to congress to determine if the crime is a security or a commodity, they say. This is the organization that can’t even legislate itself the authority to enforce a subpoena against being overthrown. They’ll decide how to best regulate the crime that just occurred so that it might be considered legal and normal, moving forward.
The irony is the Crypto-turd crime seeks regulation for validation. Like a masked intruder entering the economy, seeking approval as it takes your disposable income, to invest, in them. If they can grow within the economy, of disposable income, you will also profit from the scam.
Corruption is the best investment.
But the Fed is cutting off the disposable income now, they say, which proves our free-market economy is actually a publicly subsidized extraction scam, disguised as an economy.
Our economic policy is actually corporate welfare paid for by the government and if the government cuts off the hose of money that the public spends, as it supposedly is doing now, our free-market capitalist system will collapse, or at least shrink into recession to reconcile previous profits on the backs of the working poor.
They took everything for themselves and now they own it, so you’ll need to work for them, to survive, and give them a cut of whatever you make, or buy, from now on. That was their idea. They own it.
You can invest in that.
You can’t actually make much money making people make cheap products, so the markets profit from the margins. They make money on fluctuating asset sales, at hyper speed. The practice doesn’t produce any tangible good or service to society. It makes money by buying low and selling high, over and over.
Asset values have been crashing lately. It doesn’t matter what they cost, the values are incidental to business. Asset values can always go up or down. Your assets could be worth nothing, we can’t be sure. Which proves the system itself is a fraud. Security valuations are as arbitrary as our laws are, or at least the ones we decide to enforce.
Investors are warned when they sign up that there’s no assurance the system is not a scam. The meaningless valuations prove there’s no inherent value in the asset in the first place.
The value of a company’s stock has very little to do with the actual functionality of the company, or their performance. The security is bought and sold merely as a means to get your money. There is no inherent value in securities, period. It’s a scam and always has been since the early days of the stock exchange. Every dollar earned by ownership comes from workers getting less or consumers paying more, and the owners got rich. The investors got rich.
It stands to reason, If the owner/investors made as much money as they have, then the consumers couldn’t have afforded to buy their products. So their profits don’t come from growth or sales, they come from illegally allowed leverage pretending them the profits they claim to make. They claim our debt as their profit.
Recessions come from the public being forced to reconcile establishment profits that were generated from the leveraged public debt. Debt that we still have and by contrast, wealth they still have. The necessary correction is self-evident.
We are thirty some trillion dollars in debt now, they say, with a straight face. It’s hilarious, in a way. As if our public debt isn’t proof positive that our economy doesn’t work, for the public. The lack of debt reduction is an ongoing theft against the public.
It has been reported that another eighty trillion dollars is missing from the bank of international settlements. It’s just gone. Who knows where. It’s off the books though, so that’s cool, they say.
If you add the debt and the missing money together we can estimate the extraction of profits is well over $100 trillion. Contrast that with those who will need to reconcile that by paying taxes on their labor and sales and you have the most historic accounting fraud in the history of the world. Those who took over 100 trillion from the taxpaying public have also stuck taxpayers with over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities.
Here’s two articles discussing the profits from public debt.
They used that money to corrupt our political system and to protect and defend the scam. The scam against the public could be ended simply by reducing the public debt to a point private wealth could no longer afford to buy our elected officials.
We’ve just passed the midterms in 2022 and now we’re heading for Christmas. MSM has been teasing the notion of justice for two years now, for the political crimes of the previous administration.
The Dems lost the house. A hundred or more reps who refused to certify Biden as president were re-elected. So the insurrection against our capital was okay with most of us, apparently. It really doesn’t surprise me. The public is saturated with empty heads in search of endless entertainment. The need for more money is very instinctive.
The highly paid punditry endlessly gossip about what might happen and what should happen. They’re paid to rationalize the normalcy of the highly abnormal corporate narrative that dominates our concerns. The narrative is so superficial and irrelevant to political solutions it should make even the most pseudo-intellectual minds among us blush and turn away, imo.
But, nobody seems to notice. The never-ending parade of pharmaceutical commercials that sponsor our “news” and endlessly repeat the side effects of their drugs, goes on and on. Side effects might cause nausea and diarrhea and a dozen other unspeakable things you don’t want to think about, but there it is, over and over again.
You can quote me on this,
Those in government, empower the billionaires to control the economy, and to pick winners and losers in a trickle down bribery scheme, for political allegiance and loyalty to the scam.
The privatized government rewards obedience to their hierarchy of money. If you are a political ally your Main Street organization will be rewarded with corporate contracts, for goods & services. They can afford to subsidize your success in the “free market” for your political loyalty. If you are a political adversary they will subsidize your competition in order to put you out of business. So your success depends on your allegiance to the scam.
Resistance is required.
The goal is to force you to work for somebody with political loyalty towards the corporate social security system. They prefer unlimited dark money and the private funding of political campaigns, to control our government and sustain their scam, legislatively, against us, for money, our money.
Money earned working on Main Street.
We have an adversarial subculture hell bent on controlling the law to prevent democracy and to maintain the extraction scam in their own favor, for their own economic benefits. More public debt equals more private profit.
It’s called the squeeze.
We have an economic system where companies pay dividends to investors from the profits extracted from public policy. That’s the system we have now, costing taxpayers over a trillion dollars a year.
Our current corporate government collusion profits investors simply by extracting wealth from taxpayers. Their profits are based on the full faith of their no limit credit card. The card is about maxed out, they say, so there’s nothing left for the public, but invoices.
Investors have made a fortune on public debt. They call it “trickle-down” but it’s really an antidemocratic conspiracy of nepotistic privileges, based on the hierarchy of money and violating the law. It’s a political crime in progress.
It’s like a monarchy here. It’s a system of the few preventing the democratic potential of the many. All of the intelligence and technology is being used to suppress dissent and to maintain our current course.
It’s the establishment against the public.
The establishment interprets and litigates the law to their own advantage, to protect and defend the scam. The scam prospers them unfairly, compared to the never-ending squeeze they legislate against the public. The illusion of a representative government is an act of faith based on ignorance, and practiced by nearly everybody, in the establishment. They are true believers.
Money is representation not belief. What you believe is incidental to freedom. Money is the measure of our freedom and freedom is self-representation with comparative choice. That’s what freedom is, regardless of what you believe.
Democratic success should be measured mathematically, by wealth distribution, and decided democratically by voters. Increasing inequality is democracy failing. Reducing inequality would be a democratic success. The success of a democracy is measured in the degree of the inequality that is allowed.
The government taxing corporate lizards and the like should be mandated by law to end the deficit and reduce the debt. That would be a democratic success, mathematically.
Poverty should be ended, literally, for everyone. And the services that have been made scarce, to maximize private profits for investors, should be nationalized. That includes health, education, and energy.
We need to train a generation of antitrust attorneys who will litigate corporations into submission, to serve the public. The government has the authority.
The Laugher Curve (intentionally misspelled) theorized that tax cuts would generate more revenue than increasing taxes would. It was a laughable hypothesis at best and still is. The results are in. A few guys own everything now, they say. The Laugher logic is an ongoing lie of massive proportions, sold as a plausible theory, when it’s not.
The establishment still clings to crap like that as much as possible simply because they don’t want to pay taxes. They’ll report the absurd as normal undisputed conventional wisdom even though it’s a lie. Their allegiance is biased towards their money being maximized and their taxes being minimized.
The economy is corrupt with fake money. We invented it, they say, it’s really complicated but trust us, the value is there. Here, buy some, the price is bound to shoot to the moon. We’ve got everybody in on this scam, accepting our new money in harmony with the old. Nobody sees a problem because anybody who understands the scam is probably making money on it, or has plans to.
To create an ethical and sustainable economy, simply peg the currency in circulation to the population of those participating in it. That way people could not earn money that didn’t exist. The value of the money would increase over time, instead of decreasing in value like it does now, by inflation.
If the amount of money in circulation is determined by the population of that economy, taxes would be required to reduce the public debt, which is the correction our economy needs now.
A debt based economy is a fraud perpetrated against the public by those that prosper from it. More public debt is the wrong policy. That’s what we do now. That’s where the money for the fraudulent profits came from in the first place, from the public debt.
Massive fortunes have been created by public debt. That same debt causes massive misfortune for the taxpaying public.
Monetary policy is backwards.
To end inflation we must end the public debt and tax massive profits properly, and retroactively. The public debt is what allowed for the leveraged-based profits in the first place. The creation of more money devalues our purchasing power and sustains preferential scams, like overcompensation, which increases inequality.
The public debt is a political crime in need of correction
Those who would disagree with that are confused, or profiting from the public debt. I wouldn’t believe them, if I were you. Our opinions are biased towards our incomes. Self-interest dictates our ideological disagreements. Our opinions are as stratified as our economy is. That’s because of the unchecked judicial dereliction to enforce the laws against corruption. That’s how crypto happened.
Corruption is Nepotistic.
Democracy is an attempt at creating a government based on citizenship, and not relationships. A government by relationship results in unaccountable corruption, like we have now.
Our massive inequality is due to the democratic failure to prevent financial crimes. Financial crimes are political crimes and without correction of some kind, will increase the massive inequality that we have now into a national security emergency.
The recession is the scam. The socioeconomic design itself is a scam. The business cycle itself relies on theoretical economic nonsense. It’s a simple debt-based accounting fraud and it’s being perpetrated against the public as if it’s ethical monetary policy. It’s not.
Our policy is to allow some people to make outrageous profits for as long as possible. Then everybody else must pay back the over-leveraged and overcompensated profiteering, someday, with an economic “depression”.
Great Plan.
As if a civilized society with a representative government would create an economy with massive volatility and cyclical recessions in order to reconcile their bullish profits. Our economy is rationalized to the public as a mysterious ritual they can’t quite understand. Don’t bank your money, invest it, they say. The public will subsidize your profits, is what they don’t say, while they do.
Our work will reconcile their profits, eventually.
Ending inflation is necessary to create value stability for the currency used in our economy. That requires ending the massive debt. The entire debt should be clawed back, starting with those who have the most money.
The distribution of our currency and its value should be decided democratically by the participants of our economy.
We currently contract our monetary policy out to the geniuses who made a fortune looting this place. They just won a Nobel award for their brilliant idea of using public money to cover their insanely profitable ill-gotten gains. Oh, nobody’s ever had that idea. Give the man an award, they say.
The profiteers counterfeited more money than was available in our economy, to overcompensate themselves. They’re always printing more money to cover their ill-gotten gains. That’s what causes the inflation. That’s how they can make so much money for their administrative failures.
The establishment quadrupled the amount of money in circulation and now predict a depression. All of that new money means they don’t have to pay taxes on the billions of dollars they stole using their fraudulent business model, where they just give the public a bunch of money and it all trickles its way back up to them, the shareholders.
The profits are the problem. Our economy is a scam based on wealth creation through the administration of increasing public debt. That’s not an economy. That’s a bank robbery sanctioned by judicial dereliction. It’s a bipartisan extraction scam by the establishment against the public.
One more time.
The establishment looted the treasury, legally and administratively, by profit-taking from leveraged debt. Profits should be made by manufacturing something or by providing services to the public, not by invoicing the future. The lizards have made their money by simply assuming the public would “back-stop” their losses, and so far, they’re right.
They made their profits from speculating that the public would pay for their ill-gotten gains, with public debt. And they were right, we did.
Investor profits should be taxed to prevent public debt. Those who got rich should pay the public back by paying their fair share of taxes. I know I’m quoting Joe Biden there, but it seems to me the logical correction to our mathematical malfunction is decrease the divisions amongst people, economically, for peace and prosperity.
When the government covers the losses of private sector corporate market scams, that’s not capitalism. It’s the public paying for excessive private profit. It’s a strategy to steal money from the public, institutionally, as a business model, for economic advantages based on personal relationships. That’s not a democracy.
To summarize the context of this rant, a conspiracy that controls our money has used their authority to borrow enough of it to buy our economy and monopolize it for themselves. The means of our production, our resources, and our land, are all bought and sold on Wall Street for artificially inflated profits made possible from a government sanctioned counterfeiting scam.
Because the conspiracy includes the politicians that occupy our government, the unethical deficit is reconciled with inflation and increasing public debt. The public is being abandoned.
A social security system is the solution.
Our current economic system is a privatized system that benefits some and abandons others, based on their relationships to, and their investments in, the corporate security system. Their private system is profitable, for them, because the public system, SSI, has been abandoned, by them. They are the establishment.
The Establishment is against the Public
To divert your attention from that understanding, the bipartisan incumbents have conspired to outlaw abortion rights, and abandon democracy, to protect and defend their scam.
Think back a little. The majority leader nixed our current AG from being considered for a seat on the high court. Schumer could have done the same thing McConnell did, to stop Trump’s nominees, but he didn’t. Not one senator forced a filibuster, which allowed the judges to be confirmed and promptly overturn abortion rights.
The negligence of the democrats in reciprocating with the filibuster against the Trump Judges, has resulted in the public flocking to the democrats to restore their legal access to health services and to prevent our future from becoming some kind of authoritarian nightmare.
The democrats win by losing. The strategy to motivate voters to participate in the political process, by losing, is a great example of the lesser of two evils strategy. The lesser evil benefits from the greater evil becoming more evil so the lesser evil can gain more followers. The strategy makes the duopoly more evil, collectively, and our policies more unfair, to the public.
Dystopian Quagmire
The Midterm elections are an establishment horse race, as usual. Because of the primary process the unsponsored are defeated before race day. The primaries filter out the “extreme” right and left wing candidates to constrain election victories to the center, with establishment candidates, exclusively.
The problem with that is the right wing extremists have been winning for a long time and the left wingers don’t win at all.
The center establishment candidates are called left wingers and described by the right as radical leftists. Which is absurd.
Which proves the extreme right wing filter never worked in the first place and we are now about to swing so far to the right we may never be coming back. This generation will rubber stamp the audit for the crimes of the last century, as closed, and look forward, pretending justice was done, when it wasn’t. It was all legal, by their interpretation of the law.
The establishment has abandoned the left’s only hope, Bernie. He’s sitting nearly alone out in left field somewhere, under appreciated. He has the truth on his side, but the establishment is not really interested in that. Money is their motivator.
Money matters most.
So now we’ll be debating abortion again, like we did back when America was great. Back to the days where pride was reserved for racists and everybody else had a fearful respect for their law and order, whether we liked it or not. We all knew who was in charge back then, supposedly, and they want it that way again.
Most states are heavily infected now, with the bribery and the mercenary mentalities. The trickle-down conspiracy has soldiers across the country that are against democracy. They are ready to enforce the extraction scam against the public, for a living, and to prevent a representative government, from now on, in order to maintain their minority rule.
It’s the most important election In history, they say, to save our democracy. I’d say democratic failure is a foregone conclusion and I loathe to open the voter’s guide at all. What a waste of time. Either way, the public loses. It’s just a matter of how much and how fast the inequality and injustice crushes civility. The establishment will be forced then to militarize our domestic political solutions to maintain order.
Voting has become a simple choice of teams now, It’s like a sports game. You are either for team A or team B. The name of the player and their position is nearly incidental as long as they’re on the team, they will vote the same, for the team. So why read the guide?
I’ll vote for team A. Do not vote for Republicans, ever.
The Democrats can be corrupted by the scam but the Republicans embrace the scam religiously. Their Ideology is supremacy, not democracy. Whether they admit it or not, republican ideology, like slavery, is not compatible with an honest democracy. Undemocratic ideology must be resisted. The republicans must be resisted.
Vote for democrats and hold them accountable.
We have a political system where two adversarial institutions compete for control of our government. That’s not a democracy. That’s another scam. It might have been great a few centuries ago, for some, but not any more. The plan looks good on paper, but it needs to be interpreted correctly and enforced.
The divisions between the parties are extreme and irreconcilable now. By contrast, the extraction scam is bipartisan. It is the most sacred belief, shared by both sides of our divided establishment.
The system is broken for the public. It’s the system that needs to change, according to our technological ability. Changing the players on the teams is not good enough. That’s not change. That’s the same old counterfeiting/bribery scam that got us into this mess. The system itself needs to change.
Our elections have become a popularity contest where we choose who gets the job to protect and defend the scam. The scam will not change despite the vote. The revolving door shuffles the names and the faces in and out of office but the scam remains the same.
The scam goes by many names and includes many tactics. They call it capitalism, market economics, free trade, trickle down, supply side, and so on. But, by any other name, the practice is the same.
Our economy is an anti-democratic scam, from the past, posing as a political solution for the future. The establishment uses the scam to extract money from the public, to profit themselves.
Justice is blind, and dumb, intentionally.
Considering we just passed 31 trillion dollars in debt, as a country, in less than thirty years, it’s easy to do the math to understand the magnitude of the rip-off. The result of the scam is the government spends over a trillion dollars every year, of money that we don’t have. The result is an economy that creates billionaires with taxpayer money, with public debt, which has intentionally increased economic inequality and corrupted our government, beyond the point of cartoonish villainy.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so dangerous.
The correction requires an apportionment act to produce a more representative government that would tax big money properly. That’s the only way to save our democratic potential from the tyranny lurking over our government, and our futures.
The establishment says that the government doesn’t produce jobs, but of course it does. They create the most. The public provides the demand that produces the jobs. We are the customer. The government could regulate our economy to be more ethical and equitable, but they don’t. So the result of our policies is a chasm between the obesely rich and the desperately poor. It’s a political choice that needs to be corrected with a giant clawback.
Fix the problem with a reverse extraction.
Let’s do the math. A trillion dollars equals one thousand billionaires. We have fifty states in the nation. That makes our deficit equivalent to 20 billionaires a year for every state in the nation, just from public debt.
One billionaire equals one thousand millionaires. So our annual deficit of a trillion dollars could pay for twenty-thousand millionaires a year, for every state in the nation. If that money was divided equitably there would be hyperinflation, which would be more ethical than what we do now, creating millionaires.
Our public deficit creates the wealth that’s makes investors rich and leaves everybody else behind. That wealth should be taxed to provide the public services that everybody needs, rather than pretending trickle down market economics ever worked, for the public. It never has. That’s why we need a more equitable distribution of wealth, moving forward.
But I digress, further into my digression.
So what did we get as the taxpaying public? What did we get for our money? We got a bunch of billionaires who got rich from public debt. That’s what we got. That was the result of the public policy by those that crafted our economy. That was the result of our “democracy”. We got massive inequality from massive public debt.
That’s a political robbery disguised as public policy. And still, some are serious about their philosophy of meritocracy. It’s not so much an ideology as it is a preservation of supremacy. And that’s why we have democracy with majority rule, to prevent supremacy in order to preserve ethical justice.
The political result of our monetary policy has been the massive unethical extraction of wealth from the taxpaying public.
Our public debt has nurtured a wealthy investor class and the establishment still believes that’s normal and preferable. They rationalize inflation as normal. It’s the current concern this election, along with losing our democracy. The professionals just say it’s complicated, never mentioning that’s where investor profits come from. Those profits are not coming from growth, they were leveraged from the recession we’re about to have now.
The Monster
The monster is large enough now to protect and defend the authority of our economic overlords, against us. The only thing that can threaten the iron grip of the monster now, is democracy.
And the monster hates democracy.
The monster is poised to abort the public and abandon them in some dark alley like an unwanted child. The burden of supporting an under-employed generation of unnecessary freeloaders has compelled the establishment to abandon the public, apparently, and toss their costly social security safety-nets out the window, in favor of tax breaks for themselves.
The investors profit with credit, on publicly traded free-market monopolies. That seems fair, to them, they say. It was their money in the first place, or so they believe, incorrectly.
Those who work will be required to compete for access to work the automation owned by the establishment. For most people, it will cost just a little more than they can afford, to live comfortably. The unsubsidized Main Street workers will struggle to compete. The establishment will profit from their toil.
The race to the bottom is a generational theft. It’s a first come first served system where the owners of the automation squeeze the workers for more and more until the gray areas of institutional slavery become too fuzzy to see, for the public.
Justice is blinded.
So the establishment is shutting down our democracy. They are against democracy. Both parties will blame each other and they’ll both be right. They’re all to blame. The republicans will be glad and the democrats will comply, as is the custom.
Who needs a democracy when the establishment can print all the money that they want? for themselves, to ensure their financial supremacy over the public, by bribing their political opposition.
The establishment supplements their economic supremacy with inflation tactics and counterfeiting. Most of them are against big government, but their entire scam is based on the full faith and credit of the tax-paying public. They don’t see a contradiction, or a conflict of interest in profiting from the massive inequality that they have created.
Economic Representation
Our monetary policy of creating new money ensures that the morbidly obese bonuses for corporate executives continue to flow. The overly-excessive profits will be under-taxed and reinvested for “growth”. The counterfeited profits for the institutional investors will continue to flow, over-leveraged, as usual. The balance sheets will grow, with fraud. It’s all a profit making success, for some.
Automation is to blame, they say.
Instead of having five guys stand around for eight hours, we only need one now, because of the automation. Rather than make the work day shorter for everybody by dividing the time, like a democratically regulated economy would do, the company is compelled to maximize their profits, and 80% of their workforce is now looking for your job. The other 20% are overworked and underpaid and competing with each other to access income.
Meanwhile, the lizards lie lazily about and slither from one scam to the next, rationalizing their gains and slurping their extractions. All the while the working poor, after so much effort, wonder why they still wallow in their own crapulence.
That’s how the system works.
Our society has become increasingly dysfunctional and it’s getting worse. That’s what the public got for their money. Law enforcement can’t even ping a transaction IP address for a clue to solve a financial crime. The politicians can’t seem to legislate against their own conflicts of interest. That’s just another job Americans don’t want to do, apparently, because corruption is more profitable.
Let’s fire up an app and an IPO. Maybe we can all profit by contracting others to do our jobs. We’ll hire them to make America great again, for us, for the low, so we can make max profit, off of them.
That’s the American way.
President Joe has supposedly hired a bunch of IRS agents recently. I expect they will help rubber-stamp the ongoing corruption or assist in some way to make students pay their debts. Whatever their efforts will be, you know it will largely fail, as intended.
You can’t be cynical enough.
Dark money now is something that’s accepted by the entirety of the establishment. The resistance is token at best. Where did all that money come from? Who knows? Who cares? We’re all just a couple clicks away from being rich now. What an amazing technology. Let’s make our own currency, they say. Let’s make a bunch of them and buy them with our extra money. I don’t see a problem with that, says the establishment.
Let’s buy some Crypto.
It’s reported that there’s 350 candidates on the ballots that are described as election deniers. None of which wants to upgrade our electoral systems. You can be sure of that. That’s because of 83% of the 10 Billion dollars of midterm campaign contributions came from dark money. Click click. Here ya go! We’ve increased the money supply. Give yourself a raise and donate to our political puppets, is what happened.
Hang Mike Pence
Turns out Trump’s insurrection conspiracy apparently included a plan to Hang Mike Pence. Somebody decided to erect a gallows at the capital just in case that possibility arose. That’s one of the most important plot points of this crime, still being ignored by the professionals. Who erected the gallows? Who did that?
Clearly, the establishment doesn’t want to know or they would. And of course they know. So they’re lying by omission. You don’t erect a gallows on the capital grounds without being noticed. Especially on that day. Of course there’s video of the construction. Of course there’s testimony. It’s just not being reported, and will likely be excluded from the pending report, I expect, along with other concerns, like institutional complicity.
The Jan 6th report should be quite a tale. The hearings were great but we’ll save that story for another day and just muse for a few moments over the Hang Mike Pence chapter of this massive crime.
The Jan 6th Insurrection Conspiracy
The testimony implies the vice president was supposed to be driven to the gallows by the secret service to be lynched by Trump’s mercenary mobsters. If Pence didn’t sabotage the electoral count, which he didn’t, they’d hang him, was the plan, supposedly. Pence resisted getting into the secret service car, the story goes and the plot was thwarted. The opportunity never arose to hang the VP.
Who knows? maybe that car really was heading to the gallows. Trump was heading there too. Just in case there was a photo-op with his freshly lynched VP, Trump would be there.
Who’s in charge?
If a hanging was ordered it would have happened. Just like the stand-down orders happened, that prevented the capital police from getting the assistance they needed, to help repel the attack against the capital.
Professionals follow orders. That’s how we know the stand-down order happened, but the hanging order did not. I would suspect the gallows plot was some drunken pipe dream, fulfilled and forgiven, and now forgotten by the establishment. That’s my guess.
The Hang Mike Pence theory is about as far-fetched as the plot to thwart the electoral count. Thinking that if the certification was not finished by morning, the election would be thrown to the house, which would have a republican majority, for the win, therefore handing the presidency to Trump, is ridiculous.
The only way that could have happened is if the democrats were dumb enough to capitulate to the idiotic logic necessary for that scenario to prevail. By legal interpretation, the senate could have finished their certification ceremony anywhere at anytime. Even if the conspirators did hang the VP, the new president of the Senate could still preform the ceremonial function, as written.
Any plausibility of the Hang Mike Pence narrative being true, if you can believe it, reeks of intentional failure by the democrats. Which is plausible. Failing is what they do best. So who knows?
The Dems were probably ready to concede, if possible, like they did 20 years prior. When Jeb’s crew threw the count to the court, they anointed their team to power for another eight long years with nary a peep of official complaint. The election of 2000 was an intentional failure, with little resistance by the Dems, despite the predictable and horrific consequences to the public and our treasury.
The Dems have a pattern of failing.
But, this time, Biden won. The VP was not hung, and it would have been ridiculous for him to say to some state, “Sorry, we are objecting to your electors.” That would have been a criminally crazy idea and a violation of the constitution. Like the so-called filibuster it would become another unconstitutional senate tradition to thwart democracy. The constitution does not provide for an objection when counting state electors. Recognizing an objection to state electors would be criminally unconstitutional, by an honest interpretation.
Legalize constitutional violations
Read the new electoral count act that just passed in response to the certification fiasco. The news reported that the language of the law was clarified to ensure certification, but no. They’re lying. Collectively, like with with the filibuster, they are all misreporting their misdefined information. The new electoral act actually allows for an objection to certification now. It redefines the process to allow for objections to the states’s electors, moving forward.
And you know they will object, or they would not have changed the language of the law to allow exactly that. The original intention of the constitutional language is to prevent the federal government from choosing its own members by excluding those they don’t like.
Duh.
The big and bloated fed club can now prevent their political opposition from being seated in congress. If they want. Thanks to the new electoral act, which unmasks the Orwellian intention, of our corporately controlled government, to prevent democracy.
The imperial presidency prevails again.
The extraction scam is so powerful and so profitable for the establishment, Mike Pence confessed he would still vote for Trump, even though Trump’s goons were plotting to kill him if he didn’t break the law for them. Mike would rather vote for those who would kill him, if they had to, than vote for those who might tax him, if they could.
That’s the power of the scam.
The establishment is unified against democracy. Violating the constitution is the only way to protect and defend the scam. Their lip service against the scam is always ineffective because the establishment loves the scam.
The Jan 6th hearings laid out a massive conspiracy for the public to witness and the public, for the most part, doesn’t care, apparently.
The insurrectionists are going to gain seats next week, they say. Which shows how unpopular democrats must be, with the public. It also shows the scam is more important than our democracy, to republican voters, and the establishment, by and large.
A red wave is coming.
Even though the establishment is a duopoly, the distinctions between the parties are super important to understand. The most important thing to understand is that democrats are trying to protect the public from the republicans. So vote for democrats.
The republicans fancy their victory as an elevator full of blood, pouring out onto everything as the doors open for them.
The republicans will begin to investigate democracy advocates instead of themselves, if they win. They will do whatever is necessary to maintain the scams that sustain their supremacy.
The democrats are selling belief in justice while the republicans are handing out stock buybacks, paid for by the public. Because money is representation, not belief, it’s pretty obvious who’s going to win.
The January 6th Committee has finally called on Trump to testify. Too little too late. They should have done that on day one. Trump won’t testify because he’s a liar. Too bad, it could be one of the most historic events in human history. Trump’s Jan 6th testimony could be the biggest pay-per view event ever, with or without the committee. He could go on for days, insulting members and lying about everything, and be applauded by his fans.
Trump could hire his own private committee to say whatever he wanted. Then he could berate them for not lying for him, and for their lack of loyalty, to him. The fans would love it. It could be his new show.
The Apprentice is now The Master.
That would fire up his “base”. The Trump cult has no shame. We’ve known all along Trump was the central character in the plot to attack the capital. Trump premeditated the entire treasonous mess with his conspirator friends. He certainly takes credit for it, because in his mind it was a victory. The Jan 6th Insurrection, though not ultimately successful in overturning the election, was a victory simply by happening. It was the symbolic first battle for the history books and possibly the last, for our democracy.
The midterms will determine whether or not our democratic potential is defeated forevermore, by the republicans. The irony is that both parties support the “system” of debt-based prosperity, which is what needs to change.
Either way we’re heading for a depression. Consider voting for the democrats as tapping the brakes, whereas a vote for republicans is like stepping on the gas, speeding toward increased conflict and militant authority. The destination is preordained.
The corporations and their lizard overlords funding our politicians are against democracy. They always have been and they always will be. They have no allegiance to, or concern for, the truth. They want to control the government for the privileges that come from doing exactly that, which includes authoritarian lawmaking to maximize private profits at the public’s expense, and to provide slush funds to political cronies.
That’s not a democracy.
We have a privatized corporate government where investors own the increasingly automated means of production and squeeze their ever-increasing profits from the working public. Investors are essentially monopolizing economic growth for themselves and depriving the public of the vital services they need.
The Democrats are paying lip service to the public to pretend they oppose losing our democracy to the “opposition”, but they don’t. They serve the money just like republicans do. The bipartisan duopoly establishment would prefer that the public debate abortion rights, while they continue to profit from public debt. You know that’s true or a Democratic senator would have filibustered Trump’s politically biased judges, and prevented the activist court from overturning abortion rights and voting rights,
Taxes are still off the table, as the debt hits $31 trillion.
The Democrats are always fighting to win back their last loss, but they never do. They might as well be called the loser party from now on because that’s the function they perform, for the public. Somehow, even with a majority, they would still lose.
That’s why a new apportionment act is so important.
Anyway, the committee laid out plenty of dirt in the hearings. Trump conspired with Team Crazy and a large cast of who knows who else? The crime was, and is, a massive conspiracy at the highest levels of our government. The elephant in the room is the crime continues to this day. There is an ongoing conspiracy to capture our government in order to sustain minority rule, and to preserve the extraction scam, for themselves.
The Trump Insurrection includes the secret service, with the inspector general colluding in their coverup. This was an establishment conspiracy by all counts. The dereliction of duty by authorities to prevent this illegal spectacle of violence against our capital in the first place, is implausible. The collusion is magnified by the fact that those very same conspirators are obstructing justice now, by destroying evidence. Which is another crime.
They’re all in on it.
The institutional collusion is inescapable, unless of course you ignore it, or cherry pick your concerns of distractions, as the investigators are doing. The establishment is guilty.
Rather than deconstruct this crime from the top down, our law enforcement focused on arresting protestors and tourists, as expected, from the bottom up, keeping the courts humming in profits. The DOJ has been dragging their feet in charging the real conspirators. Now it looks like they never will.
Those who planned and executed the mob violence against our government remain un-indicted, or uncooperative.
Justice has no appetite, they say.
A few mercenaries, who will be pardoned, may serve some time, but that is not the same as charging the intellectual architects of the crime. Law enforcement has chosen to focus on quantity, not quality. Justice prefers fining the pirates despite the commission laying out a red-carpet road map to the kingpins. The ongoing threats against our democracy remain legally unchecked.
The architects of the Trump Insurrection are getting away with their crimes. They conspired to overthrow the election and executed their plan with very little legal consequence. Now they openly plan to control our government using antidemocratic tactics like putting servants in positions of power. The irony is that they already have so the outcome is a forgone conclusion.
Our dying democracy is preordained, by design. Yet the news media demonizes conspiracy theories, not aware, apparently, that that once the conspiracy has solidified its control over our government the demonization tactics will serve the opposite purpose. Attacking our fraudulent democracy will be demonized as a big lie and a conspiracy theory. Despite being true, those who criticize our rigged and antiquated electoral systems as being fraudulent, will be punished for undermining faith in the system. Instead of fixing the system, the government will punish those who criticize it. That’s not a democracy.
Secret Documents
Just as the reports of institutional collusion and coverup about the Jan 6th insurrection started spreading into the weaponized wing of our government, instead of investigating themselves, authorities decided to “raid” Mar a Lago, to retrieve classified documents. Boxes of secrets that Trump apparently “acquired” for some reason have become the top-story now, for months. It’s a blatant departure from the pursuit of justice for the official co-conspirators, towards a nearly irrelevant and cartoonish villainy plot line that focuses only on Trump.
Nobody bothered to ask how he got the documents. We just all assume that the boss can walk away without any administrative protocols, if he wants to. No big deal, apparently, we’d assume.
The DOJ just gave immunity to a trump aide, Kash, for some crazy reason. As if he has information about the acquisition of the documents, which is the more relevant concern. The investigation should be at the national archives.
The motive to raid the resort was to change the subject away from the institutional collusion, to execute the insurrection. The redacted affidavit was a strategic diversion, from justice, by the DOJ. The concern for officials obstructing the commission, from the evidence necessary to hold the conspirators accountable, has been quickly forgotten by the pundits, in deference to the authorities, as usual. Move along.
Expect the main villain in the story to dominate the news for another two years now, until he regains the reigns of our dysfunctional government, where his real political motivations will remain secret and unreported, but understood and accepted by the establishment as the way it is.
Things look bleak now for the public and the future of democracy. There is the ongoing conspiracy to overthrow our government and it appears the institutions mandated to prevent that, are in on it. Antidemocratic forces are conspiring to prevent a representative government.
What is a representative government?
A representative government would reflect the electorate both geographically and economically. Voters would elect people from their own economic demographic. That would be more representative of who the voters are. Elected officials would then be more likely to represent those who elect them rather than serving those who buy them.
They say the old RINO’s, republican in name only, wing of the Republican Party is not undermining our democracy fast enough to satisfy the supremacist tendencies of the quickly growing crazy wing of the party. At least that’s how they spin it, to pretend their party is divided. But they’re not. They’ve always been the same by any other name, to some degree, those who are quite content to tolerate an ever increasing inequality.
The republicans have always been against representative government and democracy, so vote for democrats.
And I have to mention as I conclude my rant, the news is reporting that the speakers home was invaded and her husband was hammered on the head by some crazy right-wing freak, because she wasn’t there. It’s a horrible milestone in the escalation of violence between “sides”.
The crazy man apparently believes the speaker is part of a conspiracy that lies about not being communists or something. The perpetrator should be hauled in front of congress immediately to answer questions live, so the public can better understand the level of stupidity that motivated him to violence.
We need a public debate to make the truth self-evident. We should begin the televised truth commissions asap. I expect there will be no shortage of topics or inexplicable behavior based on the truth not being defined properly, or too unbelievable like our elections. We have the technology. We should be using it.
If reality is not debated and universally understood, it will be a good indication that the establishment would prefer the truth to be ambiguous, or elusive, or dictated to a skeptical public.
The adversarial intention of elected officials to provide the public with a representative government would then be even more self-evident than it is now.
By now, the inflation scam is self-evident to anybody who wants to see it. Robert Reich and others blame corporate greed, which it is. But that’s too vague. Our current inflation, rising prices, would not be possible unless the currency supply was increased to accommodate that inflation. Which it has, massively. The supply chains are an ongoing political crime but inflation is not because of shortages. Inflation is because trickle down economics has become a river of corporate corruption and crony capitalism, fueled by the excessive money printing to cover the absurd amounts of market profiteering.
Counterfieting causes inflation. Without the explosion of new money corporate lizards wouldn’t be able to make multi-million dollar salaries. There would be no alternative but to raise taxes on those who deserve exactly that. The following graph shows that Crypto is a theft from the taxpaying public. Crypto is merely a money laundering scheme by the Fed and their counterfieting friends. That’s why we have inflation. Take a look at the following graph. I have layed crypto value overtop the currency supply. Crypto would be impossible without the counterfieting. The graph shows billionaires have been “leveraged” into existence.
Crypto has crashed now, along with all the markets. Which proves the scam is monolithic and global. The easing music has stopped and the flood of free money is tightening now. The smart money has already cashed in their chips. The corporate lizards are fat & happy from the scam. The public on the other hand will be extracted. The spike in the graph is the extraction scam being reconciled, by counterfieting money, which causes inflation.
Inflation is a tax on the public by the establishment. Corporations and investors are protected from the scam, for the most part, by cost of living increases and putting their disposable income into “exchanges” or the “markets”. That’s where investors “trade” theoretical promissory values. They are bought and sold for fluctuating prices. The values rise from taxpayer subsidies and fall from investor profit-taking.
It’s an extraction scam.
The financial industry created their own financial crisis and to “correct it”, they decided they would become billionaires by putting trillions of dollars of public debt, “off the books”. That way they could keep the ill gotten gains they got from their hyper-inflated dot-com stocks. Those profits led to the money printing which became the most used emergency superpower in the Fed’s financial toolkit. The establishment has extracted trillions of dollars from the public for decades, and claim the only remedy now is going to be painful layoffs for the working folks. Hard times coming for the common man, they say, without mentioning the obvious solution, which is;
Tax the obesely wealthy, to the max.
The Chips Act is a perfect example to deconstruct the fraudulent narrative that serves as the definition for our so-called “free-market” economy. It’s a perfect example of the government being everything everybody supposedly believes it’s not. Funny how they don’t seem to notice what they don’t want to “believe”. Free market capitalism is what they preach but that’s not what it is.
Our money has been extracted from the very recession they say is coming now, which will reconcile the deficit. They profit by stealing our money from the future until the debt can no longer be leveraged. That time is at hand. So the easing now becomes the tightening and the real reconciliation will begin, with a recession.
The perpetual financial crisis that made them all rich is now a problem, they say, so the rest of us get to suffer. They will reconcile their market gains now, moving forward, with a monster recession for the rest of us. The workers and the uninvested will be forced to pay more with less. We get our savings devalued with inflation and our purchasing power diminished, and a bunch of your cozy little corporate cubby hole jobs will disappear. Turns out your job wasn’t really necessary in the first place. It was just “good” for the economy.
But I digress. Back to the example here with the Chip Act. I’d like to ramble on but the inflation has already got me scrambling to keep up here, in real life. So, I don’t have time to get into all that now. I’ll just focus on the semiconductor subsidy.
This was considered a political victory, somehow.
Here’s an article that reports the Chip Act, or CHIPS.
Nobody says where the money is coming from, but of course, we know. We’ll create 50 billion, or borrow it, on the public’s tab, and call it capitalism.
This time the thousands of millions of dollars are allegedly to keep chipmakers from moving all of their facilities to the Far East. Sure it is. In the final analysis the public will be paying investors for their free market gains, as usual, and it won’t make a lick of difference in the cost of the chips to consumers. In the end we’ll pay more and lose the jobs to China anyway.
Our public policy doesn’t benefit the public, because corporations control our government. They squeeze the public for more investor profits instead of representing us, as intended. This policy is not capitalism or the free market, or democracy. By any other name it is corporate socialism. It is another strategy among many to help sustain the larger scam of global free market economics.
The chip act is just another fang in the public’s neck in order to pretend that capitalism is a viable business model and not a political crime against the public. It is the conflict-based economy pretending to work when in reality, it only works for some, by working against the consumers, the public, and the greater good.
The amendments to the act, to prevent stock buy backs and stop shipping our jobs overseas failed, yet they passed a law against selling our chips to China. As if China wants our chips. So everything that could be right about this democratic victory is actually wrong, as usual. It’s just another way for the establishment to squeeze the taxpayers for profits, while pretending they’re doing something good for them, when they’re not. Their capitalist success is actually corporate welfare.
And it gets worse. In the three weeks since the act was passed the semiconductor stocks have crashed. Those companies that will be subsidized have lost twenty to thirty percent value in three weeks. That shows either, one, the wave of the coming recession considers the corporate welfare money already spent. (The value has already been consumed with previous financial exuberance and overcompensated profit-taking.) Or two, the stocks have intentionally tanked for another round of profitable stock buybacks for the investors. Or most likely a little bit of both. CEO’s will be buying into the recession, as usual, while workers sell their retirement money at a loss.
I’m including the graph here in the post, showing the beneficiaries of the chip act have tanked in the last few weeks, contrary to the promoted expectations. The entire effort seems to be a ploy to scam people into investing in their stinky stocks. Investors anticipated gains from the public’s money. But no, the market movers not only took the gains from those who invested before the crash, they will likely syphon off the funds allocated for the production of the semiconductors as well.
It’s a win win for the so-called free marketeers.
The free market is anything but free. The free market costs the taxpayers plenty. That’s how our “system” “works”. We should call it what it is if we want to revise it, and we do. By all accounts our money has been taken, and now, because the government believes in this kind of market profiteering they’ll let the public pay the tab, as usual, while the profiteers consolidate their wealth into illegally sanctioned tax havens.
The bottom line of our economic model is that it does not work for the public. It’s an extraction scam by people who have decided, for themselves, that it’s okay that they own the automation the public needs to survive. They charge you and consumers an ever-increasing amount so that they might maximize their profits, at your expense. You are either with them or against them.
We practice economic division by design. Division goes against the philosophical intention of a civilized society. Division is antidemocratic and goes against constitutional law and all moral thought as undoubtedly understood by all contentious thinkers whose minds have gravitated to such places. Usury fees were outlawed a long time ago. It’s not hard to understand why.
Imagine a fund where you deposit your hard earned savings, in hopes that one day you will have enough money to stop working. Imagine now that fund also has institutional investors borrowing money to help grow that fund. They pay near zero interest so their borrowed and over-leveraged investment grows along side of yours, like a financial cancer. Or a vampire if you will. Once your fund is artificially inflated beyond its logical growth, the institutions sell their shares and the value of your retirement is diluted to profit the institutions who borrowed the money to scam you. Your retirement relies on the timing of their extraction “cycle”.
You need your money to retire, so only way to pay for their excessive gains is by creating new money. The entire economy has become a counterfeiting and bribery scam now, pretending to be something other than unethical. And nobody seems to mind.
We have a system where one side creates money from thin air and forces the other side to compete for it. That’s the true political spectrum. The practice has a deficit of billions of dollars a day. And then we vote for people who supposedly believe what we believe, and we hope that will produce a representative government and reduce inequality.
That idea has long since failed.
Clearly something’s not working here. The correction starts with the fundamental understanding that money is representation and not belief. Nobody should have to care what somebody else thinks. The economic status and well-being of the public should be a primary variable in apportioning congressional delegations to the states, as previously explained on this website. I’ll get back to that asap.
I just read this article by Robert Reich. Robert was also just “on” The Simpsons, explaining to the public that the fat cats have assumed control. I guess that makes it official. The corporations are not only people, they are super-human now. Or may as well be.
Replace the word corporate with confederate to better understand the coming “global war”.
Robert Reich gets the next political hero award from public voter. He’s been telling it like it is for a long time. Even about the filibuster, I liked that. I breathe a sigh of relief every time I hear Robert correct someone’s misguided opinion. I hope to start a hero category soon, to acknowledge heroic opinions.
Just to put this right up front, Robert is talking about an ongoing conspiracy that has been minimized for decades, by professionals. This conspiracy to monopolize our economy, prevent our democracy, and control our government, in order to farm the public for their money, was a political crime. It is a political crime. It’s the bigger lie.
That’s how our “system” “works”.
I think this was a crossroads moment for our country. Robert, being the most trusted truth teller, being on the biggest show ever, means something, to me. At least duly noted as happening. The screwing of the American middle class went mainstream in a classic commercial confession, tonight. Now they can stop pretending that they care about the common good. They earned that money fair and square, and bought your government with it. That’s just the way it is. Forget about it. If you were paying attention. It’s done now.
It’s a celebration in a way. Finally the republicans can officially walk away from that old kinder gentler thing. What was Bush thinking with that? The newfound royalty is a declaration and a celebration. They have been emancipated from any concern of compassion now, and have waded digitally, into the crypto-gold.
So let’s give this Opinion piece by Robert a read. The title is a ground breaking revelation compared to our traditional fluff & stuff, when it comes to referencing matters of class warfare. Though I suppose it’s nothing new, to you.
At first glance, of course the billionaires are supporting right wing anti-democratic forces. The problem with the headline is that it assumes the two groups are distinct and different, when they’re the same and always have been.
American billionaires are anti-democratic forces wether they like it or not. It’s not only a historical fact, it’s a mathematical fact. It doesn’t matter what you think, elections are determined by and for the money. That is the difference between a system based on belief versus a system that recognizes wealth when apportioning representation, like tax-bracket apportionment.
Robert’s subhead is a mouthful. I’ll summarize it: Trump and his billionaire buddies have bribed the republicans to surrender our democracy to them.
Bribery is a strategy that works because money is representation. It’s been working for a long time. Robert alleges they are ‘even questioning the value of democracy itself’. As if they ever cared about an honest democracy. As if the democrats didn’t always serve the same agenda as the republicans? As if they’re not doing exactly that same thing now with Joe Biden as president? It’s almost the same thing. The yo-yo goes up and down but the string remains securely in the hands of the ultra-rich, as they farm the public for their money.
I’m really starting to feel the padded pillow gloves on Robert’s title and subhead punches here. It’s still pretty good. Who are these “anti-democratic forces” Robert is speaking of? Are they violent? Who is the enemy of democracy? Let’s find out.
First sentence;
Caption to the pic, of Peter Thiel, why bother cite this? I guess he’s the poster boy for the sociopathic elite. He’s so happy to oblige in explaining how justified he is with his financial success, if you’ll listen. I’d rather not.
So Robert starts his article saying Decades ago, our monied interests bankrolled fiscal conservatism, anti-communism and constitutional democracy.
That all sounds so true, but deconstruct that. I have no idea where he’s going with his article but this first sentence says so much. My first thought is the republican establishment he is referring to, was bound by law, to abide and obey the constitutional democracy he says they believed in. They never cared for the democracy or the law. They have been at war with democracy and the law, this establishment that Robert is referring to, from the start. They break the law and the opposition lets the law remain broken.
The monied interests Robert mentions represented the colonial past. They were the masters of exploitation and asset accumulation, at the expense of the public, just to put his thought into historical context,
The first sentence goes on to say, these republicans who believed in constitutional democracy also believed in fiscal conservatism and anti-communism. It has to be noted this is the meat of the whole messy matter. These guys were never fiscally conservative. They always ripped off the public. If Robert ever believed in their fiscal sincerity, I would suggest he’s being kind, or naive, or misleading.
The republicans came in with all fangs out sucking hard for max extraction and they always do. They always have. It doesn’t matter if he means Nixon, Reagan, or Bush. Same party same agenda. I’m starting to think Robert is being a tad disingenuous now and I’m only on the first sentence. But, seeings how he brought up the anti-communism thing I also have to counter that.
Economic theory is used to justify war and it’s been obvious for a long time. It works well because economics is debatable. We demonize their economic theory while we embrace the greatest inequality ever, as a proud success.
Anti-communism was the main propaganda staple way back when to justify wars and other hideous public policies. The notion is an attack against what people believe or might believe. That’s enough to justify war, for some. But it’s the most anti-American thing a patriot can do and the republicans that Robert Reich is speaking of, did exactly that, repeatedly, as a party, whenever they’re in power, without fail, over the decades Robert is referencing. They called their enemy communists to justify persecuting them for personal and institutional privileges based on unaccountable authority.
Bottom line, there weren’t any communists at all. Communism is a theory that has never actually been used, in practice, except as a boogie-man to justify whatever “we” did.
Second sentence. Robert pretends the billionaire class was ever for democracy. They weren’t. The difference is they have enough money now to bribe everybody they need. The big lie, and I suspect Robert knows this, is the establishment he is referencing has been extracting money from the public for a half century or more. They are awash in the spoils of public debt. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they are buying this place with money they have stolen from our future, digitally, because they could.
They have all gotten rich by extracting money from the future with leverage and debt, because nobody cared to stop them.
The big lie that Trump beat Biden is a ruse. It’s an excuse to pursue permanent extraction status for the confederates. It’s an organizing argument to divert attention from the financial crime being perpetrated against the public. The big lie allows the republicans a grievance to remedy as opposed to a greedy grab for power and supremacy.
The Big Lie is an Alibi. It’s a distraction. The cheaters are screaming we’ve been cheated while they themselves cheat. It is a predictable ploy, never quite proven because truth no longer matters. The republican strategy to defend the army of billionaires that they are building with our tax dollars, is to blame their victims for their victimhood.
The republican pundits argue that the democrats are shameless and greedy, so you shouldn’t support them. The irony is they try to demonize the left for being like the right, hoping that’s worse, to you, somehow, than they are. It’s ironic that the right demonize the left for trying be what the right admittedly is, corrupt.
The billionaires have to have a plan other than stealing from the poor to give to the rich. So it’s election fraud. That’s the big lie. You would think the democrats would move to remedy the situation with a digital consensus network that’s not a global wasteland of corruption, but no, they don’t. The democrats embrace the unregulated cesspool of cyberspace or they’d move to fix it. Like Crypto.
They love it the way it is, broken.
But I digress. Where was I?
Robert goes on to blame Thiel for being a dickhead whacko for all the typical reasons. No doubt he’s blinded by his artificially inflated ego because of the meritocratic fantasy-land where he lives, where he’s oblivious that his success comes from a culture of unethical crime sanctioned by a corrupt government.
We need political remedy.
It’s almost as if Robert is trying to shame Thiel and his billionaire buddies into a more empathetic behavior, reminiscing the aforementioned monied elite. His is a misplaced persuasion, imo, because the effort needs to be directed at the corrupt system that produced them in the first place. The laws that increase our inequality need to be fixed. Billionaires are a relatively new phenomenon in our world. They should be outlawed as being unconstitutional or as a threat to our national security, or for tax evasion. How about bribing the government? The legal remedy to our political problems are resisted by the law, which sustains the corruption, which empowers the billionaires and prevents representative government.
Robert quotes Thiel. I’ll paraphrase. Theil thinks because we let women vote and give assistance to poor people, Capitalist Democracy is an oxymoron. That means those two words represent incompatible practices. Doing democracy prevents capitalism and doing capitalism prevents democracy. They are theoretically incompatible practices when practiced to the extremes. Theil thinks we, as a people, are getting too extreme with our belief in the common good, which is exactly backwards to what he thinks. He believes in his own good.
I’m to the Gilded age in Robert’s article and the paragraph is fuzzy. It’s as if he’s not talking about a crime here, legal or not. The rich investors ripped off the working poor and got away with it, because of judicial dereliction. The standard of living for those who work and consume dropped to pay for the extraction scam.
Then we got the Great Depression and bailed out the people who got ripped off with newly printed money. That allowed the banking industry to become a very profitable business. It’s a cycle now and our most profitable profession.
Stealing Deposits.
Robert goes on to mention this is a global thing. The world is conceding, I guess, to the strongmen, hey says. And he’s right, apparently. Everybody I know is somehow for a war. Not a real one, but something. That’s how I know you are all crazy, for the most part. And that’s the part that matters most, to me.
That’s why all politics should be online. More text, less talk. All public discourse should be documented and accessible. Your social security number is your password to your citizen network account that provides a way for you to vote and a way to pay taxes, on your devices, without commercial interference.
The absence of this service is inexcusable. I think Robert should be offering up some solutions, like mine. It’s time to breakout the democracy now, for the future, or democracy won’t stand a chance, But, I guess that’s what the Simpson’s episode was about. Game over for the middle class. The corporate ladder just lost a couple rungs. It’ll be a big step to management next year.
This episode is the cultural declaration of acceptance to the crime of the century. Who needed the middle class anyway? What did the middle class ever do for anybody? Good riddance, so long suckers. Hey, what are ya gonna do?
Got any bitcoin?
I hate to say but Robert seems the narrator here in this article. We have all known this for a long time. We want some solutions. We want some truth. We want some law enforcement. What’s likely he implies is that we are destined to fall for a Hitler-like strong man, as a people, to applaud the conflict-based agenda and the billionaires, who control the economy and the government, not by democracy, but with money.
The picture shows Biden surrendering a pot of Crypto to Putin. What is that supposed to mean? Maybe it’s just the fog of war but this picture made itself. It’s kinda like a Ouija board. The art has a mind of its own and follows the path of least resistance. I think it might be the manifestation of a conspiracy theory symbolizing the death of the dollar and the birth of the new world monster.
2022-02-27
So it appears the global war against democracy has officially begun. Russia has invaded Ukraine and the antidemocratic monster is on the loose. How far the monster will go or what it might do is yet unknown.
The events are still too fluid to know what’s really happening or how bad this conflict will get. Speculating about it seems futile. We can only hope the good guys will do the right thing, although that’s not likely. Their track record is dismal at best.
The opening salvo of what could be WWIII is starting off at a very measured pace. It’s not shock & awe, that’s for sure. The invaders have chosen not to overwhelm their victims, apparently, as a strategy. They’re not coming in dropping bombs but they are shooting missiles, they say.
Massive troops appear to be enroute towards the major cities, as I write, and the local men are being conscripted to fight the invaders, like it or not, to protect their homeland.
As unbelievable as it is, a major confrontation seems to be inevitable, by all reports, at the moment, which has got me thinking. How do we defuse this coming conflict and prevent it from spreading? There’s a delegation meeting to discuss concerns, of course, but that will fail.
How do we deal with Vlad the Invader?
If there’s anything more important to a civilized society than democracy, it is peace. Democracy is not possible without peace. So peace is the priority even before democracy.
If peace is not possible then it is incumbent upon the good guys to stop the bad guys. That’s why we have the biggest military in the world, so we can stop the bad guys, right?
So what are we doing to stop Putin? We are giving weapons to civilians in Ukraine, apparently, and have been funding their resistance for a while now, I heard. Like we’ve been funding their coming conflict and training new recruits. It seems like a no brainer to me, but what? You don’t give guns to the civilians, or create a new army.
Are you nuts?
You bring the best and the brightest of ass-kicking military professionals and use overwhelming force to repel the invasion, and then you end the violence, asap.
Then you put Putin on trial.
Russia invading Ukraine reflects the failure of the entire International order. What good is the United Nations if it can’t prevent invasions in the first place? And stop the overthrows and occupations of democracies?
What good is having military bases all over the world if we don’t use them to prevent the bad guys from waging wars against us, the public voters? What’s the point of paying our military a trillion dollars a year if they can’t stop Putin from doing exactly what he’s doing now?
This war is being started to profit the bad guys. Winning is not their goal. War is their goal. That’s how the conflict-based economy prospers. Good guys would stop the war.
That’s why this will likely be a long war.
There’s a ton of details to note, like Ukrainians don’t speak Russian. That’s all I need to know, to know Putin is in the wrong and he’s at fault here. We all know he’s guilty.
What we don’t know yet is the truth. If there’s one thing for sure I don’t trust the news reports that are being broadcast. There’s a lot of disinformation going on. I’m not going to take the time to cite examples now, except to say the information being provided by the news comes with a truth disclaimer.
I suspect it will take some time to understand what this war is really all about. I doubt the intent is to annex Ukraine like Putin did with Crimea, but we’ll see. I think it’s about money.
It’s always about the money. Follow the money, they say, if you want to solve the crime. We’ll get back to that. As this crime unfolds we’ll measure the official reactions with praise or criticism, depending on what they do. I’m worried.
This invasion is likely the beginning of the wars between billionaires and democracies, which will be measured by the war between crypto and the dollar, and other democracies and their currencies. The old world order looks to me to be in trouble. We’ll see.
2022-03-01
Bitcoin is up 20% in the last two days. The billionaires love the instability of markets. Despite what they might say they profit on volatility not stability and this is about as unstable as ever. Crypto loves to see the currencies in chaos. Crypto is the dark money alternative to law abiding banking and it’s at war with law-abiding banking. Crypto is at the ready to rescue those who should be in prison.
All gobbledygook aside, Putin is going to fund his war with crypto and the west will pretend they can’t stop him. Russia has no choice now, by design or circumstance, they will embrace Crypto.
Crypto is the bad guy in this narrative, as is Putin. So it’s no surprise they are working together. CNN is reporting Russians have switched to crypto, though they’re doing a very poor job of it. As noted here:
Biden did the State of the Union tonight as bombs were being dropped on civilian targets across Ukraine. Despite the increasing carnage the news is reporting Putin is failing and frustrated. He’s a madman just getting started and I think we can all expect the worst is about to happen, from now on.
Before I forget, this is what I’d do if I was president. I would have Ukraine a member of NATO before weeks end and then, with the coalition of the willing, we would be in Ukraine a day later. The Russian army would be home by payday and the war would be over faster than it started.
By all means necessary.
Imagine otherwise, you drag this out. Let’s say Biden doesn’t want to start a world war, even though it’s not his choice, and he drags his feet. The allies decide to feed weapons to the resistance, who will eventually lose, and the war drags on, even escalating to other countries.
Our plan is sanctions and isolation.
The pain and suffering inflicted on the public in the meantime will be regretted and second guessed forever, and rightly so. We are already making the wrong decisions, imo. And my whole schtick is antiwar.
The war should never have been allowed to start, but now that it has, the aggressors must be crushed immediately to end the crime, and to set the example for other tyrannical madmen thinking they can get away with invading or occupying places without repercussions.
Civilian abuse must be ended. What’s Putin’s problem?
It’s reported in the article that the bombs are being dropped onto Ukraine now, by the Russians. The war is escalating tragically and predictably now and we can only imagine the hardships being inflicted against the public.
There’s no validating war, yet somehow the propaganda seems to work pretty well on some people. All the liberal pundits want to fund the amateurs to fight the war. It looks like the allies will take a measured response to the invasion and we will all slowly ease in to the new normal.
Looks like we got out of Afghanistan just in time.
I think this conflict is scripted, more or less. All wars are. Even if this war is not a conspiratorial script loosely executed, as usual, it proves how insane the system is and how insane our political leaders can be. Nobody deserves that kind of power and this should never happen.
We did it too. And you know what I mean. Our war criminals are still celebrated as inspirational heroes around here, by the establishment.
We need a political system that will protect us from sociopaths seeking self-interest glory, or infamy, or money, or anything other than the public interest. That’s why democracy is so important. That’s why equality is so important. We need to prevent people from doing what Putin is doing. That will take a systemic approach to governmental reforms. We need a democratic upgrade, asap.
Imagine if Trump becomes president again, or some other republican, who I noticed tonight are still pretending to be against Putin. Imagine in the heat of a protracted war if the new republican president decided that Russia was in the right, because he was provoked, and we switched sides to fight against Europe. Our own army could be used against our allies, because of our political system. It’s antiquated and misinterpreted. It’s vulnerable and it prevents exactly what it’s intended to do, which is to create a representative government.
Biden’s album of broken promises from his failed build back better tour sounded a bit trivial to me tonight, in light of the pending conflict. The allies don’t want to start a war, they say, as fascist invaders storm across the border of an ally. We have been arming them and training them for years, they say. Now they must fight.
That’s the conflict-based economy.
2022-03-02
The propaganda is getting thick from both sides. Like most truth seekers I’m searching for more information about the history and motivation behind such a horrible event. Putin would have to be insane to invade Ukraine, you’d think. Why would he think he could get away with such a thing?
If he was provoked by western style nazi mercenaries he had more than enough troops to crush them. But no, he decided to take the entire nation. That pretty much makes him the bad guy by default. The carnage that is occurring because of his decision to attack civilians will be the first nail in his coffin.
Putin has made a lot of mistakes. He’s a madman with the mentality of a school shooter, or he has miscalculated beyond belief, measuring his response. You don’t get provoked into taking over a nation.
Maybe he was persuaded that it would be okay? Maybe certain people said go ahead and take it, Vlad, it’s none of our business. The diplomacy of April Glaspie telling Saddam it was okay to take Kuwait comes to mind. Maybe Putin was duped, liked Saddam was, which brought the Desert Storm.
It’s reported Putin has a convoy of military forty miles long, sitting dormant for two days now, on the road to war. He is hesitating before he passes the point of no return. Maybe he already has. We are all at the door of that decision and it looks like Putin gets to make the call.
The fate of the world rests in the hands of a madman. The UN voted to condemn Putin today in a vote where China abstained. China would rather not say if they support that type of behavior. They would likely extend the same courtesy to us if we did what Russia is doing, or should I say, when we were the invaders.
And I would be derelict not to mention the sanctions.
President Biden is talking all kinds of crazy talk, about saving democracy and confiscating the ill-gotten gains of the enemy. I hope he does but I doubt he will. He’s putting on his commander in chief boots and kickin’ up some rhetoric, as the missles and bombs start coming down on Ukraine.
Clearly there’s been some serious moves being made against Russia with financial exchanges and corporate boycotts. The relevance of those specifics are a footnote in the long run, at least for now. We’re still too early into this mess to know. This war is likely to play out over a long time, unless Putin changes his mind and retreats, and that’s not likely.
It was reported today that a million people have fled Ukraine because of the invasion. Millions more are living in a tense suspense of what might happen next.
2022-03-03
Predictably, Putin has said the invasion is going as planned, though it’s hard to say what the plan is yet. Whatever it is you know it’s not good, for the public. I’m not going to get bogged down in the details of the tragic events, unless I disagree with the official story, or the allied reaction to it.
The “west” is snatching the assets from the oligarchs and Biden it wagging his finger at them, and he’s right to do so. If it’s true I applaud him. We’re at a crossroads of justice. We’re long past that point I suspect of being able to stop these guys, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
The establishment has its supremacy financially solidified at this point so they can afford to ease off a little, on the policies of inequality and extraction. Maybe they will finally start cracking down on the people who have ripped off the public for so long.
We’ll see if they do, I’m skeptical.
Talking about ripping off the public, the king lizard said sorry today about not catching inflation on time. They supposedly printed 5 trillion dollars in the last two years because of our economic emergencies, while they, at the same time, enjoyed exponential growth in their asset values.
You probably didn’t notice that their fraudulent profit bubbles that caused the taxpayer bailouts, that caused the financial emergency that resulted in the QE counterfieting, that has now resulted in them all getting rich from public debt, was a massive criminal conspiracy considered as normal and acceptable by the establishmebt. It’s an extraction scam that loots public wealth for private profits, increasing inequality and providing compounding profits for the scammers.
The lizard king says there’s a rate hike coming in two weeks, ironically forcing the public to pay a higher interest rate to support the war they are determined to fight with both hands tied behind their back. He might want to rethink that plan.
Don’t worry, you can afford this. Crypto donations are on the way to help fund the war, on both sides. There’s very fine people on both sides, as somebody once said.
And the crypto is so plentiful.
The sanctions against Russia are forcing the crypto-conspiracy folks to confess that crypto is not what they have benn promising. It’s not a place to hide your money when your currency crumbles. It’s not an investment strategy or a hedge against inflation. It’s a black market bribery scheme to prop up the puppets in service to the scam with money extracted from the scam. The conspirators confuse the crypto conversation with misleading information, because truth doesn’t matter to the dark money overlords. They are a crime in progress and no amount of persuasion will convince them to end their war against our currency. They just want to conduct commerce along side of our currency, they say, so consumers have a choice.
I know I have tendency to generalize and see things in black & white sometimes. I don’t linger long in the gray area of any topic. Corrupt or confused for instance. Seems obvious to me it’s an over-simplification that I use loosely, not literally. Those who are not relevant to the subject are obviously not included in the generalization. I just thought I would mention that as a disclaimer to my previous infractions.
The war appears to be starting with too much to note. Putin is blowing the place up and the people are doing their best to get out of the way. Cities are being shut down and taken over and the citizens appear to be targets. The Russians are taking the entire country, very methodically now, without doubt.
The allies are sending tons of weapons and there’s tons of pressure on them to step up and do more, like a no fly zone, for instance, which would be an act of war, but also the right thing to do, imo. This invasion should be repelled.
So far the allies will not get on board with fighting Putin. Like having mutually assured destruction capabilities is license for the carnage that is likely happening, right now.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait, Herbert Skywalker said “this will not stand”. And then we proceeded to drive Saddam, back to Iraq. We didn’t give guns to Kuwaitis and say good luck against the invaders. We fought the fight for Kuwait. Ironically, we fought Saddam after funding his military. But that’s another story.
When Russia invades Ukraine, Biden opts out of the no-fly-zone and sends weapons to the locals. He doesn’t want to start a war over this invasion, hey says. I like Biden but this seems wrong to me. I know I don’t have all the information I need to make the call, so I’ll make the call with the information I have. And that call is by all means necessary, right now.
But, what do I know?
I’ll just share my observations here, time allowing, of what is being reported elsewhere. There seems to be two primary sides in the coming conflict, but I’m generalizing again. It’s not about geography or nationality. It’s about democracy and the rule of law. This is a battle between good and evil and it’s global.
It’s a tricky subject and my time and talents have their limits. But I’ve been watching this show for a long time. And the narrative has just taken a drastic turn for the worse. Which is confusing, The war compels me to help define the variables that might be happening now in our post-truth dystopian wartime adventure story, in case somebody is curios. It’s hard to know what the truth is because the public is so divided and each side embraces conflicting biases towards their own beliefs.
To war or not to war.
This war could be a long war or a short war. If this war becomes some kind of proxy war between the east and the west, it will likely last for a long time and the world will slowly accept the expansion of the conflict-based economy and the destruction of a civilized society in Ukraine by a corrupt tyrant, for profit.
That’s what I expect. Russia will take Ukraine and the resistance will keep the nation in turmoil for a generation. Ukrainians have no choice but to fight because if they surrender the brutality against them will likely continue. That’s about the best case scenario at the moment.
The other option is off the table.
2022-03-05
So we’re ten days in since the invasion now, and things are starting to become a bit more clear. Zelinsky, The president of Ukraine, is calling for a no-fly zone and the allies are denying him the high tech assistance he needs to defend his country.
The exodus continues from Ukraine and the reporting is a blend of propaganda and censorship. If the normal level is 3 we are at a 6 and Russia is probably at a 9. The news is presenting images of destruction while they discuss strategy options. The images are just a glimpse of some undefined acts of institutional violence. It’s pretty creepy.
Ukraine supposedly blew up their own bridge to slow the Russians from entering. We don’t know if any Russians were slowed but we can see video of people slowly struggling through the rubble to escape. The exodus is tragic.
What is actually happening, for the most part, is not being reported, I suspect. There’s too many things going on and they’re all too horribly tragic to report it all. There’s a lot of generalizing going on and what seems to me to be propaganda coming through my TV. I have no doubt the censorship on Russian TV is at an all time high.
Watching the news this morning I saw Malcom Nance, one of my favorite strategists who consistently argues the Trump-Russian connection, that is dangerous, nefarious, and criminal, said he talked to a Ukrainian General who doesn’t want allied boots on the ground. He just wants weapons so he and his rag-tag team of motivated underdogs can have their war and their moment of glory for their country. Give us guns, not troops, he said. It is an idiotic strategy regardless of who said it. Overwhelming force is a self-evident strategy.
And so there’s Malcom repeating that tripe as if the General’s right. He’s not right, and neither is Malcom. So in a sentence his previously consistent commentary becomes part of a larger propaganda strategy to sell a new Cold War. At the very moment when his wisdom matters most, he’s wrong and his credibility is now gone, with me. It’s easy to spew hyperbole about what Trump and Putin might do. I’ve done a lot of that myself. When the time comes to make the tough call, for democracy, and it has, Malcom is AWOL. He’s wrong. I no longer trust him.
I’ve seen a parade of personalities over the years speaking logically about policy and then when it matters most, they start singing the opposite tune. The only logical explanation is the corruption of money in politics. Not just government politics, but the politics of professional relationships that require loyalty and obedience to public betrayal, for money.
Advocates of the coming Cold War.
And we can only hope at this point it remains a Cold War. Ambassador Vinman, the guy who Trump fired for leaking the Trump blackmail plan against Biden. The, withholding military aid from Ukraine unless they dig up some dirt on Biden, whistleblower guy, followed Nance on the news. He also rubber-stamped the Cold War idea suggesting that Ukraine just needs our weapons, so “we” don’t need to go to war.
Prepare for a Cold War, don’t expect a solution is what the whistleblowing ambassador said. That sentiment summarizes the Allied strategy at this time. At the same time we’re seeing new drone video of residential buildings that have been turned into rubble, cities are in flames in Ukraine and the professional are advocating a Cold War. That’s the wrong decision.
The Cold War strategy is based on the idea that Putin will detonate nuclear weapons. I don’t think he would. I think it’s a chance we have to take to secure democracy for humanity.
If there was a nuclear winter from our mutual destruction, maybe the survivors would negotiate accordingly and make sure that the world was safe from powermad sociopaths and even implement the technology for better representation.
This is a battle for democracy.
If we don’t fight to win we will lose. Hasn’t every previous war taught us that by now? The only winners in a war where we lose are those invested in the conflict. Those getting rich from publicly-funded conflict will win. They’ve been winning for a long time and no doubt by now they are very rich.
Speaking of illogical advocations for a Cold War where we pour taxpayer money into a bloodbath, I have to mention a few other names, which I don’t like to do. I like to pontificate systems analysis based on the goal of human betterment.
I don’t like to point fingers generally speaking and avoid calling out people I disagree with specifically, but there’s no other way. So I do. It’s important to note the contradictions in logic by the professionals to better understand how we are being propagandized to an allegiance against our best interest.
Worse than the party of the lesser of two evils, there are propagandists planted amongst the intellectually enlightened to argue against doing the right thing. Like our saboteur senators voting against the team, they are deployed years ahead of their propaganda mission. Like Malcom, they gain credibility over years of consistently credible logic and then out of nowhere, they turn, to the dark side.
In service to the monster.
There’s lots of examples to consider. I’ll just name a few for now and move on with my day. The latest example is about the ongoing Russian Collusion story. There’s a wave of pundits singing in harmony about the alleged liberal Russian collusion hoax theory. As if the nefarious relationships undermining our democracy are all concocted by Hillary and the deep state dems, and therefore nothing more than a failed political strategy by “Neo-liberals” to win the White House. The notion is misleading and absurd and designed to minimize the danger of the actual collusion that cannot be credibly denied.
A few notables I must mention, but only briefly due to time constraints, are Glenn Greenwald, and Matt Taibi, Krystal and Sagar, and their universe of cutting edge internet news pundits. They are all super smart yet dismiss the danger we face from the fascists. They actually joke about the concern.
I would also add the RT shows and the republicans, and their special prosecutor. They would all have you believe that the threat against us from Russia is not real, when it is.
Putin and Trump are the opposition to our democratic potential, and quite likely a clear and present danger to our safety and our security, personal and national. I’m sure all of the pundits mentioned would agree, if pressed, that fascism is bad. But they don’t say. They complain about “liberals” while they roll their eyes. As if “liberals” are to blame, comparatively.
Now I have to define liberal. Labels can be confusing because in politics they are likely misleading. The program to steal your money is probably called the safe money act. So I have to say. Liberal means the left leaning democrat type who never has enough time or money. We’re the good guys. We work hard and obey the law and like to see a fair deal. When Liberals do what conservatives do, we call them “Neo-liberal”. The liberal label is modified to pretend that thery’re still on your side, when they’re not. The labels help to disguise the corruption.
Sadly, most democrats serve the same swampy corporate monster as republicans do.
All labels aside
The battle for Ukraine is between corruption and democracy. It’s between supremacy and slavery. It’s between conflict and health. The struggle of humanity is not between Russia and the United States. The struggle is for democracy. The struggle is for a system of government that is representative, for all of us, now and in the future. We need to ensure that the world is safe and secure for the public, everywhere, by preventing supremacist power, anywhere.
Putin represents the supremacists. As does Trump. As do those in the Republican Party. These recently activated, or misguided, internet propagandists are actually trying to spin the narrative to get the public to believe that the liberals are the threat and not the supremacists, despite the history that shows republicans have traditionally and deceptively, started our wars, and then lost them, after milking the taxpaying public for all they could get. Blaming democrats first is simply wrong.
The deep state republican supremacist war-mongers call themselves conservative, though they are anything but conservative, but that’s not the point. The point is that propagandists saturate our media-sphere and regurgitate big money conventional wisdom to spread the confusion, for the monster, wether they know it or not. They are misleading the public because the public by and large wants to be misled, or they just don’t pay attention.
Those participaitng serve themselves.
Saying what people want to hear is a very profitable industry, especially in cyberspace, with all the digital money floating around. All those x’s and o’s that found their way to your crypto-wallet, and counts now, as your money, supposedly, is a very different economy than most of the public still operate in.
Cyberspace is the new world order.
The public, by and large, are not paying attention. They’re not buying the crypto or the non fungible tokens to launder their dirty digital money. Unless of course they are being bribed with the virtual value of the cryptos-scam. They have other things to do. Only those invested in the industry, or the resulting economy, pay enough attention to effect the outcome of our democracy.
The electorate is constrained.
Most know enough to know that the democrats support the public compared to republicans, yet the establishment is all in agreement that the republicans will take back the congress in the midterm elections.
Illogical conventional wisdom.
Thousands of misguided comments praise the wisdom of the cutting edge internet pundits because they are all proprietary to their own echo-chamber. Our grammas aint clicking thumbs up on your news show. Most of the electorate are oblivious due to constrained information.
The people clicking their agreement, to the smarmy advocates of inqeuality, are a demographic with interests of their own. Their interests conflict with the public, who are not participating, by and large.
Propagandists help to normalize the narrative that constrains our politically acceptable expectations. I don’t mean to be overly critical because I know there are a lot of people who have done a lot of good for a lot of people, and it goes on like that. But there also has been people who have done things like starting wars, like now in Ukraine.
Democracy is the remedy and the prevention to avoid what is happening in Ukraine. We can prevent that from happening here with democracy. It is the consolidation of power and the loyalty to relationships, despite the law, that manifest in governments that serve power mongering fascists.
aka: the monster.

We’re a dozen days after Russia started rolling its army into Ukraine. They were all lined up forty miles long, they said. Instead of bombing them, like we do, Biden declared he would not start world war three. He’ll just help sustain the war against Ukriaine. So war is okay, but not world war. Is the logic.
Excuse me, but, that’s not cool. I don’t need to be a west point grad or a russian spy to see what’s happening here. And I’ve been describing it for about 10 years now, on this website.
The conflict-based economy.
The latest scuttlebutt aparently is the no-fly zone because it defines wether we are at war with Russia, or not. The truth is we are at war with Russia wether we like it or not. Because they are at war with us, already. It’s just a matter of time before they attack. That is unless we don’t stand for democracy, militarilty, and we dont. I expect President Biden will continue our contemporary traditions of debt-based conflict.
That means the war is over, yet the conflict has just begun. It looks like the bad guys have won. It’s now just a matter of time and statistics. How many people will die and how long will the suffering go on before peace is once again possible in Ukraine?
Biden should step up and lean on some of those crypto-patriots to give the US some money. If you want to save Ukraine we are going to need some money, he should say. Some of that money you stole from us would be a good start towards supporting the good guys.
Tax Crypto Transactions a lot.
It looks like we are going to abandon Ukrainians because they’re not members in our club. I expect it will become irrefutably obvious that we have made a mistake. Despite historical precedent, this proxy war will be a prelude to a suckerpunch that will force the war on us, like it or not.
Let’s hope the smoking gun is not a mushroom cloud.
Dropping bombs on forty miles of the Russian army when we had a chance, was a choice. They were sitting ducks for days. Our frearless leader decided to feed the monster instead. The longer he does, the stronger it gets. The stronger it gets the harder it will be to stop. Soon, it will be too late.
Despite the gory details that will saturate my newsfeed from now on, the time for diplomacy has passed and the endgame seems predictable. Democracy will lose. My thoughts and prayers are with all of those suffering from this crime, and with those who will be sufferning soon. But unless, or until, something compells me back to this post, I’ll get back to what I was doing.

The Russians appear to be leveling cities and and targeting civilians as the number of displaced is in the millions now.
Biden and the US have taken saving Ukrainian democracy off the table, because of the mutually assured destruction thing with the nukes. It’s bogus logic because there’s other treaties than Article 5 of the NATO charter that obligate us to protect Ukraine from a criminal invasion.
Biden saying he’ll sacrifice Ukraine to prevent war implies he’ll have the same policy when Putin starts attacking other NATO countries. What’s the difference? If you won’t defend an ally when they’re barbarically invaded, escpecially when your military dwarfs the invaders, then you’re not really an ally at all.
Are you going to start WWIII to protect Poland? But not Ukraine? That’s like the sherrif saying, here, have a gun. Good luck.
This is the first real war that I can recall that we didn’t start, and now we are chosing to sit this one out. Content, apparently, to provide weapons as long as we can, until they lose. That is such a losing strategy I have to assume that is the intention.
At the same time, Crypto is being promoted everywhere as invetible. As if we can’t see the connection between this global currency fraud and this war. The bad guys brought their own currency. You can invest in it, everybody’s doing it.
Crypto already has a place next to the other world currencies on the Google financial page. You know, the guys who could afford to map the earth and put it on the internet, and give you access to it for free. Those who brought us the capability to transfer our money to global finance, will now provide us with their own currency.
It’s digital money based on a bunch of bullshit.
Those who looted the treasuries of the world are now bribing everybody into their corrupt currency. You don’t have to be an accountant to figure out the math. You don’t need to be a detective to understand the scam. Where did the money come from? And why is it necessary? It’s not. The entire scam is a massive money laundering Ponzi scheme. It’s a conspiracy by those who will win this war. I’d bet a scam-coin on it, if I had one.
Things don’t look good for the US or our currency. Apparently China is slowly siding with those blowing up cities and killing civilians. That’s how they roll. Same with India, I expect.
And the fine people on both sides, both sides.
Our coalition looks lamer than those defending our capital on Jan 6th. At least the Capital police tried. They had no choice. They were on defense. The US military is locked and loaded on the busses, waiting for orders to engage. Still waiting.
Those orders aren’t coming and the carnage continues.
Maybe the Taliban can help Ukraine fight the Russians. I hear we gave them a lot of weapons. Or maybe they can sell them to Ukrainians so that the Afghans can buy some food and have something to eat.
The US would be well advised to stand down, or stand up. Because what they are doing, as usual, is wrong.
Tonight the senate voted against voting rights. With this vote, the anti-democratic monster has officially taken off its mask. The vote was a partisan divide with the two saboteurs siding with the opposition, as expected. Voting rights protections have been defeated because the senate voted to maintain the sixty vote threshold to start debate.
The status quo won by majority vote.
Public policy that benefits the public requires at least a supermajority vote count to pass in the senate. The senate changes that 60 vote threshold to 51 when the legislation benefits investors. The establishment calls that scam “The Filibuster”, but that’s wrong. The filibuster refers to senate floor time for debate.
They call their scam the filibuster to hide what it really is.
This filibuster scam is the senate killing legislation by depriving majority rule with a vote count requirement that is out of order. The cloture count is incorrectly applied to a motion to proceed, which makes proceeding impossible, unless you’ve greased the senate wheels, sorta speak.
This is a senate rule scam that violates the constitutional intention of majority vote and ultimately it deprives the public of a representative government. The filibuster is a political crime in progress by the senate that prevents democratic reforms and increases inequality, social dysfunction, and public debt. Their sixty vote obstruction scam should be ruled as illegal by the court and the senate should be required to correct their rules to comply with the constitution.
That’s what should happen.
The senate has just voted to rubber-stamp their crime as legal. They will call it the filibuster to pretend it’s not what it is. It’s a scam. What they call the filibuster is actually an arbitrary vote count that serves investors by putting a higher threshold for victory onto their opposition, which is the under-invested and over-worked tax-paying public, who consistently lose with a simple majority in the senate. The senate obstruction tactic is illegal and if you believe republicans, which I don’t, it is original intent and righteous and has been going on for over two-hundred years.
This voting rights debate was actually a debate about procedure. It was a great debate. But, we also need a debate about voting rights. Imagine the horror stories of the past that could be shared, and visions of the future to promote political solutions. It’s time for the senate to put out their cigars and write some rules that make sense, and then follow them, from now on.
Rules that can be interpreted differently are no rules at all. The senate bends the rules as necessary now, in collusion with their parliamentarian scapegoat, for their corporate overlords, in service to the monster.
That’s how our “system” “works”.
The senate protects and defends the scam. It’s what they do. Which makes them an adversary to democracy, by vote now. A majority of senators voted to violate their oath to protect and defend the constitution in order to preserve the “filibuster”, and they won by a majority vote.
Oh, the irony.
But then you say, “Well what about when the republicans return to power, the senate minority dems won’t be able to filibuster.” As if that matters. The dems got three strikes in a row on the court without a filibuster one. The establishment does what it wants and the public always loses. That bipartisan trend was solidified long ago.
Because of the coming electoral subversion, it looks like elections will be determined by the establishment from now on, like before.
The growing population and public debt will eventually force the electorate to correct the growing inequality and social dysfunction, democratically. To protect and defend the scam, the establishment must prevent that democracy, moving forward, in order to maintain their control over our public policy. That’s what’s happening now.
When the republicans do take power back, make no mistake, it won’t be because people voted for them. If they win without cheating, and they won’t, it will be because people voted against the democrats. The republicans will win because the establishment has rigged the duopoly with a binary choice. The choice is false because it’s not really change. Both parties are fueled by the same establishment money. Together, the partisan duopoly have extracted, and counterfeited, and inflated the wealth in their favor based on the speculated growth of the scam.
You can vote for one of them.
Investors are harvesting the profits that they believe they can squeeze out of workers. Some of it trickles down, they say, to those who need that money to survive and pay taxes. Money that is constantly devalued for them, by inflation, to maximize shareholder value. Our allegiance is to that money, like it or not.
Politics is a money fight.
Extraction is the process of borrowing unlimited money, leveraged with the speculated profits of increasing marketshare and collateralized with the promise that the scam can be maintained, politically. Or is that capitalism? Either way, you can’t beat that. It can however, be regulated by law. But I digress. Back to the senate.
That’s cool, they say, the senate has voted. Let’s all move along now to protect the democracy in Ukraine. That is insane. I’m not going there now but I can’t believe what I’m seeing and hearing on the news. This is the perpetuation of the conflict-based economy.
Whose agenda does this government serve by abandoning public voters while sending weapons to Ukraine?
State legislatures are working overtime here, to make sure they can steal elections legally in the future with “voter subversion”. That’s where you can vote for somebody who the establishment has pre-approved. If a democracy advocate somehow accidentally wins, they can be legally eliminated by the incumbents, apparently.
By killing voting rights, the senate just rubber-stamped their allegiance to the subversion scam, and to the other legislative conspiracies being waged against the public now, by state legislatures across the country.
It’s like one big orchestrated plot against our democracy, by Putin and Trump and their billionaire oligarch buddies. They steal their money from our future and launder it back into our economy for a bribed allegiance that protects and defends the scam, our conflict-based economy.
Maybe Biden should start sending weapons to the democratic resistance in the US now, before it’s too late. Before the corrupt start stealing our elections. You know it’s going to happen, contested or not.
This “voting rights” debate was historic beyond any current consideration, as the minority turtle mentioned, possibly ever, in the senate. There was so much truth on the senate floor today and so many lies, about senate procedures, it will serve as a window into our intentionally dysfunctional truth, for generations.
In the end as predicted, the republicans abandoned the public without concern of consequence and the democrats couldn’t stop them, apparently. The democrats have been outmaneuvered again. Their list of failures is getting long. The public generally forgets.
I was however extremely impressed with the democrats for their efforts. At least they gave it a good try. At least they forced the matter to a vote to demonstrate to the public that the republicans are united against democracy. The republicans only care about their supremacy to increase economic inequality. It’s like a political inflation. The power consolidates at the top by further diluting the power at the bottom.
This was a great debate because a healthy dose of the truth about senate procedure was discussed. That alone was worth the watch.
The senate actually debated. It’s a huge story and it’s already being forgotten, or spun as if the fight for voting rights is not over. The bad guys just got the green light. The only reason that the fight is not over is because political narrators and democratic defenders make a living selling hope. They must remain optimistic even while being defeated, over and over again. Their job is to protect and defend the constitution from those who are violating it. And they are failing. Failure is not an option and yet somehow it’s always the result.
That needs to change.
I appreciate TRMS for sharing some long overdue truth about the filibuster, as seen in the video. I will point out however senator Manchin’s sign was called deeply wrong. Rachel didn’t explain how it was wrong, but it is incorrect. The orchestrated confusion goes to the heart of the deception, which I will explain now. It goes something like this;
First, I want to see Rachel ask Schumer to explain the rules that allow him to move to debate without a cloture vote. Ask him to cite the rule by number. It wasn’t long ago he said “wait and see”. He’s got some tricks up his sleeve, was implied. Well, we just saw how that went. He failed. He said they were going to get this thing passed, but alas. They’re always outnumbered.
Senate rule 8.1 violates the constitutional intention of majority vote.
Back to the floor. Here’s Manchin with his big sign that says:
The senate has never ended the debate with a simple majority.
Rachel says his sign is deeply deeply wrong. Which it is. It’s wrong alright. But it’s also correct. By the rules, it takes a supermajority in the senate to end debate. So it’s not deeply wrong because it has been done before, as was implied by TRMS, it hasn’t. Manchin’s sign is deeply wrong because it’s a deception by deflection. Nobody wants to end debate with a simple majority. That’s not the issue. The issue is that the senate requires a supermajority to open debate, which is what he and his co-conspirators are defending.
The republicans are pretending to be defending extended speech in order to preserve a sixty vote threshold to open debate.
The senate rules should require a supermajority to prevent the debate, not a supermajority to allow the debate. The current misinterpretation prevents debate and kills popular legislation. And it’s illegal.
The Manchin sign is a deception in that it relies on the viewer to be persuaded by their own confusion, and then Rachel confuses the issue further, whatever. The truth is Manchin and his republican friends don’t care if you know the sign is a deception. Those who preach the same flawed logic are in on the scam. They’ll do what they do despite what you or even forty-eight senators think is true. You are either with them and the scam or against them. It’s important to understand that choice because it was just made for you, by senators, who are collectively by majority, against you, and the public, and their voting rights. They say you are with ‘um.
What say you?
The first step towards honest political correction is to acknowledge that the conflict-based economy is a scam being perpetrated against the public by an adversarial government, and that it can be changed. The political correction required now for the systemic corruption causing the public abandonment and democratic decay can be nothing short of tax-bracket apportionment and income-based representation, as I’ve mentioned previously, for honest political reforms.
Unfortunately, because of the betrayal by the senate to protect and defend our democracy, and the concerted efforts by states to suppress voters, our democracy is on the path to ruin. Much like the procedural debate on voting rights, our democracy seems destined to sunset now, with little understanding of why.
Rather than have a democratic revival in celebration of our newfound technology and wealth, this government has decided to steer the ship of state away from democracy and towards a foreboding future. A future that we learned about in history class studying the misfortune of others from the past, who had lost their democracy. Our destination now, it appears, is toward the future we were warned to avoid.
The irony that we lose our democracy to billionaires is that it also illuminates the corrections necessary to take it back from them.
