Bubbles,

Scams, and Energy,

America’s Permanent Direction? 

DYI:  Today’s world elite’s – financial planner controller’s owners for all phases of the financial sphere to the likes of investment banks, commercial banks, and institutional investors, handing down macroeconomic policy handled by world wide central banks and their respective Treasury departments.  Today’s CEO’s of major corporations 1^st priority is financial strategy relegating the backseat to industrial policy, labor relations or sales.  Today’s CEO no matter his or hers industry number task above all else is everything financial.  Pumping up their stock price by using earnings or borrowings, aggressive mergers and acquisitions, rearranging debts with bond holders, AND moving corporate domiciles with their profits to tax haven countries all of this expended energy and money has all come at the expense of R&D rather than expanding production all leading to downsizing of operations thus a creation of structural long term unemployment.

This primarily began in the 1970’s moving briskly in the 80’s and then in the 90’s at light speed culminating by the year 2000.  Since then despite a roller coaster ride prices have soared for stocks, bonds, and real estate as real wages have eroded along with never ending structural unemployment as corporations have ruthlessly downsized their operations [moving to Mexico, China, and other foreign lands].  During normal business cycles of the past after an economic downturn employment, wages and later consumer prices rose.  Not today as price gains are within the sphere of stocks, bonds, and real estate that has caused a class war between asset holders and the common man to a level greater than the notorious Gilded Age.

Monopolies, trade collusion [medical industrial complex] and the FIRE [Finance, Insurance, Real estate] economy that has now chewed up the common man’s budget as exampled here in the United States.  They are no longer able to compete in economy with a sky high monthly break-even as shown below.

• Rent or home ownership costs:  40%
• FICA wage withholding:  15%
• Debt Service (Credit Cards, Student loans, health care, etc.)  15% plus
• Taxes – Income and sales taxes:  15%
• TOTAL:  85%

Is it any wonder why large numbers of Millennials remain living with their parents despite many who are now in their 30’s, postponing marriage out of necessity that has dropped our birth rate below replacement pushing even further future pressure on intergenerational social Security and Medicare social programs.

This has international effects from the massive debt burden countries of Europe all causing debt deflation [austerity] along with rent extraction to the likes of selling off government projects [utilities, roads, railways etc.] to fund their indebtedness creating long term rent extraction that was once paid at cost or subsidized thus lowing costs for the common man.  This debt deflation is shrinking the general economy [along with the U.S.] forcing emigration as portions of their populous tries their luck elsewhere.  Currently today emigration to foreign lands is a trickle for Americans however as the pressure builds the upcoming Z generation will begin the exodus to the likes of Europe.

Politically here in the States and Europe power has shifted from democratically elected governments to the elite owned/controlled mega sized international banks and their financial cousin’s institutions either directly through the EU or here in the States through the use of bribes [campaign monies] AND by controlling our Intelligence Services all for their benefit.  Their strategy is akin to the Kings who owned everything by privatizing public enterprises scale back their versions of Social Security, pension plans, health insurance, and other social programs.

Scams

In the basket of tricks the elites use is outright scams.  These so called mass shootings such as Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and so many more are all fake.  DHS FEMA drills promoted as real; nobody shot; nobody killed or wounded promoted as real by the CIA controlled main stream media all to promote fear.

 

This is the classic psychological operation designed to create a PROBLEM thus a REACTION from the populous demanding that something be done, providing the SOLUTION that was already in place.  PROBLEM – REACTION – SOLUTION is the hallmark of a psychological operation for the basis of a scam.  Today’s school districts are now being besieged by salespersons all selling security programs.  These include bullet resistant windows, CCTV networks, metal detectors, scanners, and an assorted security services.  There are 94,500 plus public schools and 5,430 universities/colleges/community colleges many with multiple buildings.

 

This is big business who get the THRILL of increased revenues/profits and we the taxpayer get the BILL!  Totally unnecessary, the fear from the Mom’s and Dad’s that something must be done pushes the scam forward.  For those who see through the scam they are belittled and scorned by remarks to the likes of “Why are you against child safety?”

Add on the burden of net energy decline that I wrote about in the prior post.  As American’s unless we as a nation reign in elites/bankers/monopolies and forthrightly with energy over the coming decades will end up as serfs working for the King in a third world hell hole.  Sorry to be so negative but this is the direction we’ve been on since the 1970’s.

Till Next Time…
