From Brandon Smith
Ever since the crash of 2008, a trend has developed in U.S. election debate: the near complete avoidance of serious discussion about the economy. Ron Paul was the last candidate to attack the subject with any energy, and that was quite a while ago now. The economic decline of our nation is being aggressively ignored, even though it is the most important issue of the past century.
For example, talk about the actions of the Federal Reserve over the past decade has fallen off the radar. Both sides of the aisle love the Fed and both sides are happy to let the central bank print the dollar into oblivion. Both sides have mentioned little or nothing about the current stagflationary wave hitting the country, causing price inflation in many necessities, from food to electricity to rent (except for certain major cities where no one want to live right now). And all examination of globalism and forced interdependency has ceased, even though global interdependency in manufacturing is one of the major causes of supply chain shortages and price inflation right now.
The real unemployment rate remains high, holding at 26.9% when accounting for U-6 measurements. While some jobs have been recovered from the initial COVID lockdown, most of these are part-time, low-wage retail and fast food jobs. The question that might arise during the election is: Which side is more likely to keep the lockdowns going despite the economic disaster they are helping to cause? That award obviously goes to Biden, though the President continues to leave lockdown decisions to state governments, which means they will probably remain an issue regardless of the election outcome.
The small business sector was decimated by the “Retail Apocalypse”, which started in 2018 and has hit critical mass in 2020 during the lockdowns. Yelp data recently showed that 60% of small business closures due to the coronavirus are now permanent; that’s over 97,000 businesses gone in the blink of an eye. This showcases and proves that the small business bailouts were a complete failure. That’s what happens when you put global banks like J.P. Morgan in charge of which businesses get bailout dollars and which businesses don’t.
Add this to the 25,000 major retail stores set to close so far in 2020 and one can see that this is a very real crisis that could have repercussions for decades to come, but almost no one is talking about it.
Debate about the trade war with China has also taken a back seat to the pandemic, though the trade war continues and many tariffs remain in place. Both Trump and Biden have indicated that there will be no change to the trade war posture of the U.S. post-election, and so tensions with China will only increase. While China is one of the worst human rights violators on the planet and, in my opinion, their communist government should be erased from existence, there is a little issue of debt and monetary investment that, again, no one is talking about.
China not only has the ability to dump trillions in U.S. Treasuries back on the market, but it also has the option of dumping the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency. As the number one exporter/importer in the world, China could cause significant damage to the U.S. if they drop the dollar and their trade partners follow their lead. I believe this threat will become clearer in 2021, after the election is over.
The problem of U.S. dependency on Chinese manufacturing has been mentioned during the campaign, but merely in passing. No serious plan to bring production back to the U.S. has been presented by either side, and this seems to be the predictable narrative of every election for the past 12 years: Use buzzwords on the economy to pretend as if candidates care while never offering a practical plan for solving the underlying problems.
Tax cuts or tax increases are irrelevant and do nothing beyond causing minor short-term shifts in cash flows. The very root of the U.S. financial system (and the global financial system) is rotten, and NOTHING is being done about it by either political party.
There needs to be a reckoning, and certain figures within the money and banking structure need to answer for their criminality. International banks like Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan contributed directly to the creation of the mortgage and credit crisis of 2008, and they did so with full knowledge that the derivatives bubble was about to collapse. Yet, to this day, they continue to operate with impunity around the world and offer “advice” to investors and governments on economic management. To this day, they continue to enjoy bailout dollars from the Fed, and when they are exposed for fraud, they simply get a slap on the wrist and a fine.
The outcome of all this is rather predictable: Small businesses are going to disappear and what’s left of the localized economy in the U.S. is going to be destroyed. International corporations, the only businesses enjoying reliable protection from the Fed, will remain as the only game left in town. It is almost as if the economy is being forcefully streamlined into a global centralized model with the major corporations at the helm.
For those people who put a lot of stock in elections, I think it is important for them to remember that very little of actual importance changes in the course of political events. Problems are not solved by politicians or presidents; problems are always solved by the people, if they get solved at all.
This means that the ongoing downtrend in the U.S. economy is assured even after the 2020 election, and no matter who ends up in the White House, the crash will likely accelerate because the causes of the crash are never dealt with. Fundamentally, local production and trade is the key to saving America. This is how America’s economy was able to survive and thrive at the formation of our system, and it only makes sense to return to a free market model that was proven to work.
If major manufacturing is ever going to return to the U.S., companies need to be incentivized. Why are corporations enjoying lavish tax cuts without having to give anything in return? Shouldn’t tax cuts come with strings attached, such as a requirement that they bring home a large portion of their factory base to U.S. soil?
Decentralization means more than just moving away from globalism; it also means that each and every community has to pursue self-reliance and establish its own production model. Instead of trading our wealth and work to international companies that siphon dollars away from our communities, we need to develop our own local trade and keep at least a fair portion of those dollars circulating in our own towns and neighborhoods. We also need to start focusing on necessities and being able to provide for ourselves in the event that the international supply chain breaks even further.
The elections do not, and probably will not, address any of the issues I describe above because they are a circus that distracts away from legitimate dangers. Elections are meant to control narrative, not give the public a voice. By all means, vote for whoever you like, just keep in mind that our duty as Americans does not stop at the voting booth; it is our job to fix this country. The politicians are irrelevant.

I tried to undo this ,my fuck up.
Here ya go, SS. 🙂
Much appreciated:)
I gave my brother a 100 billion Zimbabwe Water Buffalo for Christmas, Apmex, I had to pay 30 bucks for it.
Just figured out that bit of code has as many permutations as all of the known molecules in the visible universe to the billionth power x 10,000,000,000,080. Give or take.
My feelings exactly. It could be that once the people, worldwide come to understand the Covin scare was a farce there will be a great upheaval ending with the destruction of central governments (praise God). But governments won’t go down pleasantly. We’re all going to see the real face of power and it won’t be pretty.
I have always said that an economic collapse will happen. so much debt, sending jobs overseas and corruption, and greed. I traveled the country as a trucker for years and at least a dozen times a month someone somewhere would tell me some sad story about a factory closing down. This went on for years by the way. Or a fellow trucker on the CB radio would talk about his company hauling a factory’s machinery to a port to go to Asia. One guy told me his company emptied a large factory and he picked up the last piece of machinery. He said the manager and him looked around at the now-empty building and the man cried.
I always wondered about how a country can make it when you send jobs away to foreign lands in search of cheap labor and few environmental regulations. President Obama’s reaction was to say we would have “Hi-tech” jobs. and while we do have those, they didn’t replace all those factory jobs that left by the thousands.
Another thing not talked about much is the stagnant wages that don’t match the cost of living.
when it takes years of saving by a two wage income household for the downpayment and then people are in debt for what I think are insane amounts of money for so many years, just to live in a house.
Look at the crazy price of cars. I wanted a truck and the local dealers wanted 20,000 dollars for fifteen-year-old pickups with 220,000 miles on them.
There’s a whole country of angry people who don’t understand why things are like this either.
I guess some join groups of other angry people. I wonder how long before the powderkeg blows and we are all caught up in it.
I watched as a child in the 70s as 3/4ths of the factories in our town closed and the exodus of people began. The old fields of the area also began failing in the same time period.
As Supply Clerk, I sent the last load of equipment of the ITT Wire Mill in Cairo Ga (after 19 years) to Matamoros Mexico, swept the floor, turned the lights out and locked the door per orders of the filthy Chicago owners, may they rot in Hell forever.
I believe the answer will be announced in late 2021 by Trump and it’s all related to the Dollar Note of Debt vs a Certificate of Real Value based on a basket of America’s Natural Resources.
The Deep State have plenty of Monopoly Money and they can keep the Fiat Dollars and digital entries and we will have the choice of holding Certificates.
The question all should ask, why and how does the FEDERAL RESERVE claim ownership of all American people and their land? See lien docs.

note; done on Obama’s watch with Bank of America. count the number of digits for how much we are worth.
We are Weimar….stage two….
Don’t worry.
Brandon’s “thermal evasion suits” developed as a “joint smoking project” with the fake Oath Keepers are going to turn the tide in favor of the good guys during Civil War II.
Or not.
https://oathkeepers.org/2015/06/defeating-drones-how-to-build-a-thermal-evasion-suit/
You really have a boner for Brandon in a gay Mormon like Mittens sort of way.
He has distanced himself from the oath keepers for a while now.
Keep posting your gay shit and be ready to get called out on it.
What they need to do is incentivize manufacturing here in the USA. Maybe a tax holiday or exemption for those who actually make something.
Did Ron Paul repent and distance himself from the Oath Keepers psyop?
Or did he know it was a psyop and promote it anyway?
BTW;
Mormontard crock of shit.
Being a straight, white male, one big reason I will always hate mormons and forever completely avoid Utah, is being hit on by old mormon queers in felt hats, jean jackets and cowboy boots when I lived in a rural part of Utah years ago. Mormons disgust me.
Hey Blather Mouth…what are you going to do…send them some looney tune Mormon memes???
https://oathkeepers.org/2020/08/call-to-action-volunteers-needed-for-hurricane-laura-disaster-relief/
Boom.
Shove it up your ass, mormontard.
Only one assured outcome? I can think of a few.
I was quite amused a few years ago when a large company called a meeting of all it’s management personnel. They had already shipped their manufacturing off-shore and maintained only the managers here , which had seemed fine with them. At this meeting the CEO told them the company was now going to ship the rest of their operations off-shore and they would no longer need these managers. He also informed them of his moving his home and office to Bermuda. I could almost hear the outcry from just reading the written page. I guess it is always alright to ship someone else’s job out so long as you don’t touch their’s.
The main problem I have always had with sending jobs to other countries is the question of how are the folks back here going to be able to buy what is made if all they have to live on is an all too small welfare check. With no customer base, it is fruitless to make any product. If there was a large demand for buggy whips, there would be a buggy whip maker on every corner, and they would pay their hands good wages.
Just think about that one for a while.
“It is almost as if the economy is being forcefully streamlined into a global centralized model with the major corporations at the helm.”
No, it is not “almost as if”. That is precisely what is happening. It is all part of the NWO push for their one world government and cashless society, which is being facilitated and accelerated by the COVID-19 scamdemic hoax and the BLM/Antifa riots. And they are going to achieve their goal. The breathtaking ease with which they were able to lock down almost the entire Western world with a hoax has removed any doubt about their ability to prevail.
