The financial press is a propagandist institution, complete with phony statistics and fake data. It was true under Obama and it’s still true under Trump. The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act accelerated this 1984 world we’re living in.

I’m not saying anything that hasn’t been said before but America has become a massive fraud in every respect. The government lies as a matter of necessity to preserve its privileged position, the rule of law is dead. I’m old. And every time I go out, I see nothing but 3rd world on a comparative basis to the America I knew. It’s gone, kaput, fini and there’s no bringing it back. So you younger folks, you go out there and shuck this slimy oyster called the American Dream any way you can. It’s jungle rules now. Take care of you and yours.

I gave up on voting after Reagan couldn’t stem the growth in gov’t. I figured then that it was baked in that the federal gov’t would continue to grow unabated, like any parasite, until it sapped the strength of the host and both died, albeit with one side the winner and the other impoverished. Have you seen the opulence in d.c. lately?

Work: I grew up in Alexandria in the ’50s. Those row houses then were occupied by black folks, the poorest of the poor. Back then DC was a literal swamp. Today it’s a figurative swamp. My old man in the early ’60s bet and lost 100 acres in Great Falls, Va. in a poker game at the Moose Club in Alexandria. Ain’t that a peach…………..

This decline of living standards for average working Americans has been in decline for decades . As our nation circles the drain the powers that be or that Circle Jerk from Wall Street to K-Street to Capitol Street will continue their unified front of plunder . This time the “THEY” have probably overplayed their collective poker hand and the have nots are lining up against them and their army of Badge Wearing Armed Minions that are feed just enough of the circle jerks pirated gains to stay loyal to the story line of War On drugs , terror , poverty , homelessness . All federal jobs programs nothing more . 100 MILLON idle working age Americans and countless others working in shit jobs with shit hours for shit pay . I know they are all bums and don’t want to work Bull Shit !
They just won’t accept the shitty pay or conditions you loyal Americans offer to illegals with the excuse of how hard the illegal will work , more bull shit !
If the illegals are such hard working honorable people why is their home countries corrupt shitholes . With such hard working ethical people illegally in the US one would think they could turn their homeland around rather that drag mine down with the help of our government and of course the flag waving assholes that hire illegals !
Notice carrier , when Trump & the cameras were gone so were the jobs ! Make America Great Again , sure ok with who and with what ?

In my opinion from ’08 to now has been nothing more than the prequel. What awaits is a major shit show of epic proportions. Call me a permabear, but I began my education on this a few years back.
Whether you believe in the Fourth Turning or whether you follow the Elliott Wave Principle, Armstrong’s Economic Confidence Model or Harry Dent’s belief of the Demographic shift: Winter is coming!
I’m long on ammo and short on hope. Damn the torpedoes!
Many years in the future, those generations will look back and compare the fall of the USA to the fall of Rome.

DJT will get the blame, regardless, but he may be the last duly elected President of the Republic!

Ya can’t have the old used up serfs hanging around to stink up the joint, not when there’s new debt-serfs chomping at the bit to borrow into the comfy middle class. Asia ascends, the west descends… to enter an era of dark ages. We’ve been here before and will be again until enough people figure out how this game is played. Who will be the hundredth monkey?

He’s also the lead idiot sucker that jumped on the Q bandwagon on TBP. You all can take it to the bank that if you come back to this site in six months or six years you’ll read the same idiots spewing the same bullshit none of which comes to pass.
Then there’s the chem trail morons and that bitch that has to remind everyone she enlisted in the Air Force. BFD.

It’s said that every few generations, money returns to its rightful owners. That’s what’s happening now.

Amerika emerged relatively unscathed from the Second World War whereas most other countries in the Northern Hemisphere were bombed back into the Stone Age. The Marshal Plan helped rebuild countries that were to become America’s customers. Amerika’s war production factories switched over to consumer goods, the demand for which was aided by Edward Bernays’ marketing propaganda.

The U.S. also stole most of the gold that the Nazis had stolen, and that wealth temporarily propelled the U.S. far ahead of other nations until eventually the undeserved prosperity of the 1950’s and ’60’s began to run out of steam. President Nixon defaulting on the dollar in 1971 by “closing the gold window” signaled the end of Amerika’s good times. Debt creation unrestricted by gold helped to cushion the blow, but wealth was now flowing to Asia along with well-paying jobs.

For 5,000 years, China was a world super power with a short, two-century hiatus that is now ending. China is again emerging as an economic super power. And, money is flowing back to its rightful owners.

All the finger-pointing and wailing and gnashing of teeth … not even Trump can stem the tide and make Amerika great again as money flows back to its rightful owners.
