One common denominator that explains why previously successful societies implode is their descent into fantasies, lies if you will. Such a collective denial prevents even discussion of existential threats and their solutions.
Something like that is happening in the United States. Eight million illegal immigrants have entered the United States by the deliberate erasure of the southern border. Apparently, biden sees some unstated advantage in destroying U.S. immigration law and welcoming in would-be new constituents. Yet, the more the millions arrive, the more biden and his Homeland Security director mayorkas flat out lie that “the border is secure.” And the more the Americans are lied to that the border is secure, the more they poll — currently 77% — that it is not.
Biden praises this 3-year effort to borrow $6-7 trillion, and spike interest rates threefold to 7% on home mortgages — even as prices on essentials like food and fuel have spiked 25-30% since he entered office. In terms of total returns, this is the biggest bond market rout in 150 years. Last year was in fact US bond investors’ worst year since 1871, with a total return of minus 15.7%, even worse than the annus horribilis of 2009. For 2023, the year-to-date return has been almost minus 10%; annualized, that’s minus 17.3% — even worse than 2022. We are looking at bond investors’ two worst years in a century and a half. The more that biden brags about what he did to the economy, the more people poll — over 60% — dissatisfaction with his alternate reality of “bidenomics.”
Remember August 2021 in Afghanistan? The more retired Gen. Mark Milley, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Biden assured that the American military presence was stable, the more swiftly it crumbled and descended into the worst mass flight of an American army since Vietnam.
Consider natural gas and oil, biden waged war on both by canceling pipelines, drilling on federal lands, and entire oil fields. When the price soared and the 2022 midterms neared, biden suddenly begged formerly shunned illiberal regimes like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Venezuela to pump all the hated oil they could to lower the price. A desperate biden drained much of the strategic petroleum reserve — he has yet to refill it — simply to lower the price of gasoline and thus win voters back to the left-wing/democratic Party. When the midterms passed, biden resumed his attack on once bad, then good, and now bad again fossil fuels — at least until the 2024 election.
Stranger still is the denial of the current crime wave in our major cities. Predators and thugs have turned once iconic downtowns into either war zones or ghost towns or both. Smash-and-grab swarming of stores and matter-of-fact shoplifting are destroying commerce in our major cities. Stores either leave or shut down. Communities who vote for politicians who defund the police blame the stores for leaving — but not the criminals whose brazen thefts made it impossible to do business in the inner city. Now modern-day pirates with impunity storm, sink, and rob boats of all kinds in Oakland. leftwing/democrats, who all supported defunding the police, now cannot escape the resulting street violence and unleashed murderous predations.
Everyone knows the culprit is the biden regime's complicity — to defund the police, end cash bail, institutionalize catch-and-release of criminals, and show more sympathy toward victimizers than victims. Yet neither state nor local officials nor biden himself even admits to a crime wave. The more the public is attacked and avoids major downtowns, the more it polls furor over the crime wave. The more liberals/democrats in gaslighting style, claim such alarm is all in our collective heads, the more they themselves are attacked by the very criminals their policies empowered.
Sometimes the lies extend to the trivial. Sen. fetterman, unable to cognitively function, for months had dressed like an utter slob while on the Senate floor. As a gesture of approval, libs/dems junked the dress code so he could wear his sloppy cut-offs and hoodie. Americans were to assume his slovenly costume was normal apparel — and they were hypercritical for thinking otherwise.
left-wing/dem Rep. jamaal bowman pulled a Senate fire alarm to disrupt and delay a vote on continuing the funding of the government. But he got caught on a Capitol surveillance video committing the crime. bowman whined that he got confused. He preposterously claimed by pulling the alarm he thought he was opening a door to go vote. All of that was a lie. The alarm was clearly marked. A sign in front of the door warned not to enter. And the door itself was placarded with cautions that any attempt to open it would set off emergency alarms. bowman assumed by calling his critics nazis and using the race card, he could invent a virtual reality.
People who have never seemed to notice crime and immigration are suddenly noticing crime and immigration. Grocery prices are through the roof, same with gas. liberals’ next Big Idea is to ban gas stoves — after the huge success of their demand that we ban gas cars! To make blindingly clear how crazy they are, left-wing democrats absolutely will not stop pushing transgenders. Republicans ought to be looking at a 1984 landslide. But if it’s Trump, the idiots who don't think will claim because of his mean tweets, and those addicted to liberal ideology won't vote to save our country and for sane political leaders. Despite the left-wing/democrats' epidemic of lies, there remains reality. And we will soon rediscover it all too soon.
"Should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practising iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."--John Adams
There are those who believe in moral relativism, as well as cultural relativism. This is a rather untoward notion that any culture is a good culture simply because it’s a different culture. No culture can be any better than any other culture, therefore any culture that oppressed or usurped culture is a bad one. Any culture that insists it is a better one is the very devil itself. Hence America is a wicked and evil place, because it is a “colonizing” culture, insisting the way we live is better. Which it is, hence millions of people still try to get here every year. Moreover, the notion that one culture cannot be greater than another culture is also ridiculous, and one in which they do not believe anyway. How many times have people from the left criticized a culture of traditionalism rising on the right? A return to a culture that is more traditional where the Wife is a homemaker. Yet to them, this is an oppressive culture that is bad, or the leftist-atheists are often seen criticizing Christianity. A culture with which they disagree, some atheists believe that those who must believe in a God suffer some form of Mental handicap. This is of course another example of asserting that one style of living (a.k.a. a culture) is better than another.
There is the ridiculous notion of the 1619 project preaching false history, that America was rooted in racism. There is the false notion that the colonists in America would wantonly murder the Native Americans. A false notion that we were oppressive with enforcing our cultures and traditions onto the natives. I do not deny that there was some abuse, however, the degree can be debated. There can also be a debate on the exchange of abuses, the Natives by no means, were innocent of bloodshed.
The delusion of the modern culture is one of wanton ignorance, a refusal to assess and reflect. They have a false belief that America is not what she says she is, but rather that it is a dystopic land rooted in evil and false beliefs. I call it a delusion because not only is this false, but the founders were very clear about what the revolution was about and what values would be instilled in this country. Moreover, it is a psychotic belief, meaning that it is uprooted from reality, they are entrenched in this belief to the forsaking and negation of the real. Thereby making their beliefs about this country, about America, a delusion

JPMorgan’s chief market strategist Marko Kolanovic is forecasting a 20% nosedive in the S&P 500, a storm brewed by the tumultuous winds of skyrocketing interest rates.
As the White House continues to tout the alleged achievements of Bidenomics, a growing amount of data indicates that a gigantic economic crisis could be right around the corner. But 1 foretelling example: US consumers who borrowed money to buy a new car are on the hook for record loan payments, with 20% owing at least$1K/mo, as surging interest rates combine with costly inventory to make vehicles less affordable.
During the height of the coronavirus, governments unnecessarily shutdown the economy and spent vast amounts of money to keep the economy, financial system and stock market afloat. Trillions of dollars in additional government spending occurred, all of which was financed with debt and money printing. The never-before-seen levels of money creation were fueled by policies set by the Federal Reserve, which encouraged Congress to spend more money and kept interest rates extremely low, despite warnings from economists about the threat of future inflation. biden and left-wing/democrats opted to keep government expenditures significantly higher than they had been prior to the pandemic. The decision to continue high levels of government spending, coupled with the Fed’s choice to keep interest rates low and the fallout from the crisis in Ukraine, caused inflation to soar to levels not experienced in over 40yrs. Prices for nearly all consumer items skyrocketed.
In an effort to fix its mistakes and curb out-of-control inflation, the Fed started dramatically increasing interest rates in 2022, a policy that has continued thus far in 2023. Meanwhile, the biden regime and Congress have unnecessarily kept government spending much higher than pre-covid levels.
The result of these policies is that most consumer goods and services, as well as rent and housing prices, remain much higher than they were before the China virus started. However, the money supply – the amount of cash, checking deposits and bank savings accounts – has substantially decreased. That means even though prices are still going up, the amount of money available is continuing to drop, putting an unprecedented strain on Americans.
M2 money supply growth rate has been negative for the past 3 quarters, meaning the amount of money available is shrinking rapidly. In the past 110 years, the only other time Americans have seen the money supply drop this sharply was in the early 1930s, during the height of the Great Depression.
There is a significant difference this time around, however. In the 1930s, when the money supply annual rate turned negative, prices dropped as well. Now, however, prices are still going up despite the collapse in the money supply. To the extent we're seeing it, this has never occurred before. Increasingly, more people are using savings and going into debt to cover basic expenses, like food, utilities and housing.
Survey data from the Federal Reserve shows the bottom 80% of income earners, representing the vast majority of Americans, now have less in real household savings than they did prior to the China virus. And savings for top income earners will likely fall below pre-2020 levels within the next 12 months. Americans’ credit card debt topped $1 trillion for the 1st time.
Higher prices, more government spending and debt, and lower levels of household savings – that’s what Bidenomics actually looks like. The U.S. economy is walking on thin ice. If prices and inflation don’t come down soon, something that can only occur if Congress and the White House reduce spending, then the U.S. is soon going to find itself in yet another massive economic crisis.
Our current national debt, standing at a colossal $33 TRILLION(1). That's the equivalent to the economies of China, Japan, Germany, India, and the United Kingdom, combined. In 2023, the government shelled out a staggering $663 billion to service this debt. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that by 2051, surpass even Social Security as the largest share of the federal budget. This is an existential threat of greater immediacy and severity than any other we face. It hinders our capacity to tackle all other concerns. Our present investment in energy alternatives not only worsens our debt dilemma but also gives rise to fresh challenges. It escalates short-term energy costs and, by transitioning away from conventional sources, jeopardizes the resilience of our energy grid in the long run. At that point, we might find ourselves financially incapable of addressing this issue.
We are teetering on the edge of financial collapse, a vital point poorly represented in our shallow political debates. The common refrain, "we are passing on a bill to our children and grandchildren," is overly simplistic and fails to highlight the significant danger of this situation. Higher interest rates, like we see today, make it harder to pay for the essentials, such as critical infrastructure, national defense, and entitlement programs. This forces the government to borrow more and more. It's a vicious cycle. Then one day the music stops. How will the government meet its obligations then? By reaching deeper into your pockets, which will already be empty.
The left-wing slant of our political environment is not conducive to ward off financial ruin, since the refuse to do what’s necessary.
1st, we need to implement responsible fiscal policies to control the growth of national debt. This means significantly reducing budget deficits, boosting federal revenue, cutting waste, and prioritizing spending on essential programs. In other words: stop unnecessary expenditures. Fiscal discipline is required.
2nd, we need to restructure entitlement programs. While crucial for the well-being of many Americans, they contribute significantly to the problem. Finding ways to make these programs more cost-effective and sustainable, as well as adding work requirements where possible, is essential. Often referred to as the third rail of American politics, politicians are going to have to find the guts to deal with these programs.
3rd, we need to stimulate economic growth. One way to boost economic growth is to reduce government regulation. Congress should pass the REINS Act to ensure a fair review of any regulation with an economic impact of more than $100 million. This would end the reign of unelected bureaucrats who impose costly regulations on businesses and individuals.
4th, it is essential to educate and mobilize the public. When more people understand the real impact of our national debt, they can put more pressure on their elected representatives to do the right thing, and at minimum, stop making the problem worse.
History teaches us that change does not always come from the top. Forcing our leaders to take action, even if incremental, is a step in the right direction.
1. Our future obligations increase that to over $100TRILLION.

Future of Warfare: Declassified Military Doc Proves EMF(less) Tracking & Use of Deep Fake Psyops!!
10 March 2023
A newly declassified military document has revealed that the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) will soon be using deep fake technology for online propaganda and deception campaigns in an attempt to sway public opinion into their desired direction.
The document also outlines their plans to use “Non-Radio Frequency Tagging, Tracking and Locating” in an effort to stay ahead of those who wish to remain undetected (by not owning a phone for example).

Listen to this. Pray.
We are fighting an evil that is unconscionable.
WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC
This is a level of evil beyond anything you can possibly imagine.
These people are more than sick.
You must see this video. It details how the child trafficking has taken a turn for the worse. The Traffickers are now forcing young girls to have babies instead of abortions so they can sell the babies. See the video, it will horrify you.
