'The America System' is hopelessly drunk on borrowing and taxpayers' money. It won't change until the US economy completely collapses. And that's exactly what China is cleverly engineering behind the scenes, using puppets like Biden...and Obama, who is still in charge with his moron cabinet.

Banana Republic USA!

From the London Daily Telegraph: Whether you love or hate Trump, this conviction should appall you. This is not about Donald Trump. It’s about the weaponisation of the criminal justice system against a political opponent. It’s the type of prosecutorial and judicial conduct we expect in Putin’s Russia. Prior to this case, America was deeply divided. Now it’s tearing at the seams.

Monetary policy is a third rail because fixing the issues mean that the people causing and benefitting from those issues will necessarily have to suffer losses. I think it’s delusional to assume any president is confused instead of bold face lying to protect the interests of the ruling class.

So the entire import of this article is that “the President confused the January 2021 inflation number with a number of other price statistics beginning with the number nine”? And I guess his claim of driving an 18-wheeler was actually some other vehicle that included the number 18? His son Beau being killed in the Iraq war was confused with somebody else’s son killed in the Iraq war? His claim of speaking with French President Francois Mitterrand in 2021, 28 years after Mitterrand died, was simply Biden’s confusion with some other dude named Mitterrand? What a stupid theory!

Occams Razor - Biden is a serial, pathological liar.

The Federal Reserve is a cartel of banks (some of which are owned by Rothschilds and other dynastic families) which is privately owned and has never been audited. Americans have no say in monetary policies and the Federal Reserve actually is in violation of the Constitution. The point here is this: "he who holds the purse calls the tune." If the Federal Reserve effectively controls the money supply in all of the US, then they decide the framing of the Overton Window. That frame right now is Federal Reserve cannot be blamed for inflation even though that is the truth of the matter. The ruling system goes along with this charade as they are recipients of the largesse from the Federal Reserve. Look up Cantillion Effect. The Federal Reserve is the primary source of corruption when it comes to monetary policy. If we want to change this country for the better, the Federal Reserve must be abolished.

Agree the Fed owns the liquidity trap however the corporatocracy and congress decide the budgeting and use of that liquidity to indebt us into infinity.

Two of a perfect pair

True. The US govt. made an agreement with the devil. They handed the keys to the kingdom (sovereignty) over to the bankers but in turn have a blank check from now to infinity to spend whatever they want without any limitations. It came to pass when Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971. (Look at the inflation numbers from before 1971 until now) So yes, Congress and the Corporations do decide the budget but there are no built in guard rails (gold redemption for every dollar) so the Federal Reserve allows them to spend with wanton abandon.

The problem is most people don't know what the Federal Reserve is and the role that its monetary policy plays in creating inflation and other bubbles.

And that is by design.

If folks really knew about WHAT the Federal Reserve did, they would be asking for accountability, etc.

The sole purpose of the Federal Reserve is to steal our wealth and enslave us.

If anyone doubts me on this, ask yourself WHERE inflation comes from and WHO benefits.

Off to get a detached retina repaired; at least I’m not detached from reality like President Joe…

Here’s a great breakdown from Ben Norton for anyone interested in why economic and monetary policy are third rail issues: https://youtu.be/ZJaJ4BST6Nc?si=KO-d-VJF6Bz74Sl9
