MOMENTUM

 Guest Post by Just John

Momentum: the strength or force that allows something to continue or to grow stronger or faster as time passes

Momentum is what America is losing; in several categories.

Manufacturing

Ever since the 70s we have systematically exported our basic strength – manufacturing.  Jobs that provided the means by which a large swath of all Americans to grow and prosper like never before in American history.  Especially post World War II.  We came out of WWII physically unscathed with our manufacturing systems and transportation systems intact which allowed us to produce and export to the rest of the war torn world untold amounts of goods.

And as technology grew and improved, newer and better paying jobs emerged giving rise to a Middle Class like never before seen.   A Middle Class that also created the back bone of our manufacturing strength which are small businesses.  Businesses that created not only products, but millions of jobs that provided enough income to allow a large majority of our population to own new homes and new cars like never before.

Yet now, we are finding out that our massive consumption of imported goods is becoming more and more unreliable.   We have outsourced an estimated 80% of our daily needs to overseas suppliers which has put us in a very vulnerable position.

Financial growth

Loss of good paying jobs is decimating the Middle Class which is rapidly shrinking.  Couple that with the continued loss of small businesses and accompanying jobs due to both lockdowns and shrinking demand and what we see is an all out assault on the Middle Class.   And the bill is coming due for so many people that have taken advantage of easy credit and increased debt that accompanies it because they can no longer afford the new homes, new cars, new boats, etc.   The American Dream is turning into the American Nightmare for those not in the top 10% of income earners.

Social

For decades now the moral and social fabric of America has been unraveling.  At this point, it doesn’t really matter why; but it is.  It is the fabric that bonds and holds a general population together, and it’s unraveling faster and faster.  I’m pretty sure that we have all heard at one time or another from our grandparents and then our parents that “We’re going to hell in a hand basket”.   I used to laugh at that statement until I realized that they were right.  It’s something that happens over time and can only truly be seen through the lens of generational time frames.

Education

A system of public schools, universities and colleges that was literally the envy of the world gave us a workforce like never before.  Well educated and innovative people who produced things.  New and sought after items and technologies.

But now we are finally realizing that our Public Education system has become a system of indoctrination that is actually dumbing down the students, teaching them not to think for themselves but to follow whatever the ever increasing tyrannical government tells them to do and think.  To become totally dependent on the government from cradle to grave.

Governance

As we have slowly realized, our government has become absolutely and totally corrupt.  Our elected politicians have sold their souls and our future down the drain.  Sold out to the increasingly powerful corporations that are now actually calling the shots as to what our government does or does not do.  Entities like the Industrial/Military complex, Big Pharma, Medical and Healthcare complex, and the Financial Sector which includes banks and the stock market as well as Silicon Valley and associated technologies wherever they may be.

Global influence

I guess this can best be exemplified by our hasty and poorly executed abandonment of Afghanistan.  Given the fact that we shouldn’t have been there in the first place, once we were it was our responsibility to some extent to insure that the bulk of Afghanistan people were protected.  And we did that for 20 years; until we didn’t.   We not only abandoned them to the Taliban, ISIS and Al Queda but we left them defenseless against them.

We also blindsided our allies in the region without warning which put them in a horrible position to get their own military and civilians out of the country to safety.  So now we are not seen as an ally, but a wildcard that can not be counted on as dependable.  We no longer lead the way.  Period.  And this has put us in a very vulnerable position globally.  If, in the future, we as a country need help, who would even want to help such a poorly run country who evidently has no future and no global standing or influence.

So, as a country we are losing our Momentum.  Like the pendulum on a clock, as it unwinds it slowly and eventually stops.

Liberalism is a mental, moral and economic positively reinforcing death spiral; liberals behave like lobotomized lemmings; America on this course cannot avoid a spectacular crash, massive destruction and deaths. Affirmative Discrimination (Reconstruction II) succeeded and we now have a showplace Kakistocracy that the Karens and Brandons can be proud of, and invite all their Third World Friends to come and be citizens . Communist Heaven on Earth; Universal Income, Welfare, free Rainbow Stew, and medical marajuana….

rhs-Thanks for the current update on the problems in America. If only these insane demon possessed people would wake up. In my 75 years I have never seen a group of people so smug and self assured. Well written!

Just John- You can thank ZOG and their owned media for this sorry state of affairs. And you can throw in any other commies that fit in the equation as guilty.

I blame the citizens for their morals but occupied governments happen historically and falters until there is a house cleaning or complete eradication of a people.

Read the headlines of this article, bummed me right out.
100% correct, we are facing some really great challenges.
Like Chesty Puller said when surrounded, “Great. Now we can shoot at those bastards from every direction.”
And, “They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away from us now!”

Psalm 9:17. The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the nations that forget God. “God is dead” said the bumperstickers in the 1960’s. January 22, 1973 The sewerpreme court decided to allow murdering babies in the womb in America. The promotion of sodomy as a viable lifestyle, transgenders, freaks of every shape and color, animism, and every vile invention of demonic people raised as an alternative lifestyle. Back to Psalm 9:17. Did it not say ALL NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD shall be turned into Hell! It’s quite simple that a nation can’t physically be put into Hell. So, let’s go back and figure it out.Add an a to the equation. The nation that forgets God shall be turned into -a- Hell. We are fast approaching that scenario. Will God allow a way of escape this time? II Chronicles 7:14. If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven; and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. V 15 Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attent to the prayer that is made in this place. What will America do? Better yet, what will YOU do?.? Will you turn and pray or will you go on your merry way to the (Bill) gates of Hell. America, in God, you have a choice to make TODAY!

When I stop expecting hell to be anything but symbolic of a concept then I don’t have to struggle so hard understanding what it means.

It makes more sense to me that demons and hell are the rejection of God individually and socially, respectively.

100% this. A nation that forgets their creator falls subject to all the logical conclusions that will follow. Without God there is no justification for morality. There is no diginity or value to human life beyond what an individual gives it, which is ultimately meaningless. There is no purpose in life without God as all life ends at the grave and the universe ultimately does too.

If there is no God we’re subject to the blind pitiless indifference of time and chance acting upon matter.

We’ve been pushing this garbage philosophy since the 60s and now wonder why functional atheism leads to the chaos in which we find ourselves.

That is what jumped out at me from the article: how your points were not even mentioned.

Very nice post. I go one step further. Trust in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, His Blessed Mother, and in His official representative on earth, the Holy See. This is all that is needed to restore America back in favor with God. This is becoming less likely every day because people refuse to believe that the Catholic Church is the only church recognized by God Almighty. This breaks my heart. Everything is now about diversity and inclusion which only leads to Satanic perversions like Protestantism. You sound like a good Catholic. I will instruct my wife to pray the Rosary for you.

Just John has zero idea what the fuck he is talking about re manufacturing. Zero. Th US has outsourced 80% of its daily needs? That is an outright untruth. I stopped reading right there. It is total horseshit. The US is still a mighty manufacturing nation. I have posted links tI e and again to that truth, as well as links showing where almost anything you want can be bought US made.

ESTIMATED “DAILY” NEEDS. Walk through Walmart or Target and see if 20% of the items on the shelves are made in America. During the plandemic, did you read that 90+% of our antibiotics and other medicines are produced in China? Much of the produce in the supermarkets are from Mexico, Chile, South Africa, Central America. How many of out cell phones are made in America? How about televisions and other household electronic equipment? Walk through Best Buy and compare US to foreign made products.
If we’re so self sufficient in manufacturing, why are there still shiploads of goods being imported daily from around the world? Why is our trade deficit so lop sided? Sure, we still manufacture a lot of things here in the US. But I still contend that the majority of overall goods that we purchase are imported.
I had my own business for 25 years selling industrial safety equipment and medical PPE supplies. I watched as one line of products after another became imported rather than made in the US in both the safety equipment and PPE supply lines. For 12 of those years I exported containers of medical masks, N95 masks, caps, gowns and shoe covers to Japan until they started buying from China instead. And today there are only two major manufactures in the US that make N95 respirator masks and those are Gerson and 3M. Until the plandemic the last major N95 earl loop manufacturer in the US was Prestige Ameritech but since then there are several minor manufactures, but the majority of masks continue to come from China.
So, yes we were once a great manufacturing power but not so much any more in an overall sense. I do believe that if we survive the coming financial collapse and currency reset that we will have to become self sufficient in manufacturing the majority of goods we use domestically, but it is going to be a very rough road if possible at all.
