Are you going to believe the government produced statistical mumbo jumbo designed to mislead, misinform, and keep you sedated? Or are you going to believe your own two eyes? No one in their right mind should believe inflation is 3.7%. The CPI is a manufactured number based on false assumptions and massaged to create a happy ending for government bureaucrats and central bankers. It is completely made up by people paid to make their bosses (Biden, Powell) look good.
You can see your grocery store receipt is 40% higher than it was two years ago. The price of beef has doubled, so most people stop buying beef and buy chicken. The BLS uses this in their model to say that beef didn’t really go up 100%, because you switched to chicken. These financial wizards are f**king brilliant!!!
The average price of a new car now exceeds $48,000, up 25% since Biden took office. But Biden’s BLS will massage that number back to single digits by saying the new car in 2023 is far more technologically advanced than the 2021 version. Average home prices are up 30% since 2021. Rent is up 25% since 2021. They fake the housing CPI by using a formula that drastically reduces the inflation compared to reality. Anyone filling up their car to drive to work every day knows gas prices are up 60% since Biden was placed on the throne. And he has drained our Strategic Reserve for political gain.
The true rate of inflation, when measured as they did in 1980 is about 12%. If you measure it as they did in 1990, after Greenspan “tweaked” it to keep Social Security viable for a few more years, it is 8%. In your real life, does inflation seem to be 8% to 12% or 3.7%?
Jerome Powell can act like he is tightening to get inflation back to 2%, but it is nothing but an act. He loves inflation. It is the only way to make our $33 trillion national debt manageable. He needs to deflate it away through inflation. With real inflation at 8% to 12%, he would need to raise rates into the double digits, which he would never do. Because he is a coward. He has lied since September 2019.
The financial system was crashing and the Covid scamdemic was used to unleash $4.7 trillion of QE, with $3 trillion printed in a three month window in early 2020. When he started raising rates in early 2022, he also said he was going to start QT to reduce his $8.9 trillion balance sheet (it was $875 billion prior to 2008 crisis). Eighteen months later it is still $8.1 trillion. Notice the difference in QT versus QE. $3 trillion printed in 3 months and only $800 billion reduced in 18 months. This is all setting the stage for the next rug pull which will require his balance sheet to go to $12 trillion.
Meanwhile, they will continue to lie, obfuscate, misinform and propagandize us about inflation. But you know the truth. Just remember Carlin’s first rule.

It gets more like the movie ‘ Brazil ‘ everyday.
Speaking of Brazil, did you see how Biden dissed the President of Brazil?
But hey it’s only a country of 217 million people.
I wonder what The Federal conquerers would do if Brazil demanded the right to arm up with nukes to defend itself against corrupt nuclear armed neighbors. To deter agression so to speak? I am sure theyed get respectful, humane treatment right?
I’m making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning 16,000 US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website… http://www.Payathome7.com
Sorry to post off topic, but the Portnoy WAPO story is blowing up….
Heads up admin!
https://twitchy.com/dougp/2023/09/20/barstools-dave-portnoy-wapo-reporter-n2387511
I watched that already. You could HEAR the “reporter’s” butt puckering as she spoke!!! Her glory hole was probably following suit…
He definitely made her look like a liar and an unrepentant one at that.
He can’t be so ignorant that he doesn’t know what tortious interference is or how to pronounce misogyny though, can he?
LOL. No I don’t think he is, which makes it funnier. “Treacherous interference” is funnier.
Another story that seems important, Biden is high jacking the Americorps by creating American Climate Corps…so that is some HUGE MISSION CREEP!
She didn’t even have enough fucking grace to stand by her statement. To me that’s the biggest problem: she’s nasty piece of shit but a nasty piece of shit that doesn’t have any values she is willing to defend.
She’s talking to the guy she clearly hates like they are friends. What a cowardly empty just of a bitch.
It’s pretty hard to lie about something when the people you’re lying to are LIVING THE TRUTH!!!
The question now is… WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT???
Let’s start with a two week case of National Blue Flu. Enough of us just stop what we’re doing for a couple of weeks, and state and federal coffers start bleeding red ink. If that doesn’t work, …IT’S TIME…
Thanks to this site and others I saw this coming. I bought a freezer in early 2021 and stocked up with all kinds of meat. Got cases of canned vegetables, fruit, meat, soup, etc. Stocked up on coffee (haven’t bought any in a year and a half and still have 6 months supply). pasta, dried beans, rice, seasonings, etc. I’m set for a couple years.
Well__Inever, Great job and a quick learner. I remember reading articles around 2017 written by a Venezuelan doctor who went through their hyperinflation. He said the number one thing to do (if he could prepare for that time) was to stash away canned protein like tuna, beef, chicken, sardines, spam, etc. He said it was a very short time of shortages then none was available at all. He said that way some got to eat, and saved money, but the chief value was not having to spend hours each day waiting in line for the gov. handout of sugar, some rice, and occasional beans. I have done so every month since then.
Concerning shelf life, I have this little story from an old friend of mine. He was activated to active duty from US Army reserves during the Cuban missile crisis (1962). We were woefully unprepared for a mobilization. He was sent to a training camp in Texas where they were fed only WW II c-rations for over two months. The dates on the cans were 1944. No one died from the training or the food. Then they were just as quickly sent back home fat and happy and ready for some home cooking.
Not mumbo jumbo from.Biden, more like mumble jumble
But why stop at Biden, the entire system has been corrupt for decades. He’s just a system of the disease they want you distracted by. Getting rid of Biden or blaming it on him won’t change that.
…EVER.
Perception (erroneous though it may be) is everything.
bosses = (Biden, Powell)?
🤣
Marionettes. With strings being cut.
Can everyone not see our rights stopped here in perpetuity?
Biden and trump are IRRELEVANT. They have nothing to do with what is happening to us.
democrats do it worse
Biden lies and he (or more correctly his handlers) weaponizes government agencies to lie for him to prop him up because his approval ratings are so low. This is nothing new in US politics. The BLS like most government agencies is not on our side and does not tell the truth. Not only are their inflation numbers not true, their employment/unemployment “statistics” are false. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate Much of the so called job creation is seasonal work or part time work.
Usually after the BLS comes out with their monthly “statistics” a week or so later they come out with a “revised” report that is rarely front page news that shows their original figures needed to be “adjusted”.
Sadly the US is in rapid decline on so many levels: morally, economically and socially; most astute people feel this but are unwilling to do anything about it because they’ re afraid. They’ve seen how the Deep State, the legacy media demonize dissidents and free thinkers and they want no part of it. So the great unravelling will continue until America becomes the latest casualty/victim of the globalist elites.
Nice meme!
Ritual humiliation is the only thing that can explain it for me. During Trump’s time in office we learned the dems are evil. Now that he’s not in the White House we learn the repubs are just as evil as the dems. Actually they might be even more evil since they’re also hypocrites. At least the dems admit they hate America and will do anything for personal power, money and celebrity
We people on SS are getting a 3% COLA starting in Jan. due to the “3%” inflation rate. YEAH RIGHT!
Okay the cars are more technologically advanced which costs more? What about a simple car with automatic transmission, hear & AC, AM/FM radio and crank windows. Nothing fancy–about like the 1960’s VW Beetle.
I don’t gamble much, but if you modify a current car back to that level, removing all the regulatory requirements, I would bet you’d find a doubling or more of gas milage. This would HALF the need for gas, if people just used a car like they do today. Which would not only lower cost to the end user, but less ‘carbon’ emissions used to create the fuel in the first place.
It takes a lot more carbon to manufacture all the stuff you removed, as well. The overall savings to the end user would be HUGE.
But it would put the fuel industry into a slump before shipping to needy countries would ramp up and stabilize the industry and raise our costs only slightly. While delivering economic life to energy hungry areas, increasing THEIR standard of living.
But, no, we must make profits always and expand production. So, the ever increasing screams about ‘climate’ go on screaming while we get no consideration on either side. Typical DC.
If you read it in a newspaper, automatically assume it’s an attempt to jerk you off. For profit businesses will CHARGE WHAT THE MARKET WILL BEAR, and not cry or apologize about it. Blame biden all you want, but chances are the real problem is a lot closer to home.
