In Part One of this article I laid out
the argument Huxley’s dystopian vision of the future had played out over many
decades, but now I observe Orwell’s darker vision in motion since the start of
this century.
All the “solutions” being imposed by those in power don’t solve anything, because they aren’t designed to solve anything. These are nothing but short-term emergency sustaining maneuvers to keep the dying patient alive, while the criminals ransack his house, extracting whatever wealth he has saved. Throwing $1,200 bones and $600 a week bribes to what they consider the Main Street riff raff, while funneling trillions into the pockets of Too Big To Trust Wall Street banks, billionaire oligarchs, connected mega-corporations, and pliable corrupt politicians, is just what the doctor ordered for the ruling class.
Their
weak-kneed toadies at the Federal Reserve have dutifully fulfilled their
mandate of no banker or hedge fund left behind. While Main Street is beset with
potholes, boarded up small business storefronts (if they haven’t been looted
and burned), homeless drug addicts, and the unemployed lining up at local food
banks, Wall Street is being paved in gold, with its inhabitants eating caviar,
drinking champagne, and celebrating their brilliance in owning a central bank,
guaranteed to enrich them.
The paths being chosen by those in power offer no exit or happy endings. Driving the annual deficit over $4 trillion, pushing the national debt to $26.5 trillion (don’t forget the $200 trillion of unfunded welfare liabilities), because you chose to shut the country down for a bad flu, has virtually guaranteed a multi-year economic contraction and eventual financial collapse. The Fed has propped up a zombie economy and horribly managed zombie corporations with zero interest rates and purchasing of their bad debt.
Free
markets have been extinguished, price discovery has vanished, success is
determined by who you know, and interest rates can never rise again, or the
debt Ponzi collapses instantaneously. The $600 a week in unemployment produced
an economic recovery mirage, as money that has no possibility of being repaid,
was spent by millions on grocery deliveries, crap from Amazon, and buying
bankrupt stocks on Robinhood by unemployed day traders.
The
politicians who doled out this $600 per week to millions of people they
purposely forced into unemployment are now trapped. Any politician who votes to
not extend the payments will be scorned by the corporate media talking heads as
heartless and uncaring. With elections just over three months away, it’s now
just a matter of how big the newest debt financed debacle will be (somewhere
between $1 and $3 trillion).
Trump will
sign whatever comes his way, because not doing so would guarantee a loss in
November. Financially, none of this can work. The Federal government, with
their co-conspirators at the Fed, can get away with running massive deficits
for as long as the USD is accepted around the world as a safe investment. The
record price of gold and the 9% decline in the USD since April are early
warnings another financial crisis looms.
The real disaster is materializing in states,
counties, and cities, as unemployed people don’t generate income taxes while
collecting from the unemployment fund, bankrupt small businesses don’t pay
income taxes or property taxes, lockdowns have massively reduced sales taxes,
and remote workers don’t pay tolls or gasoline taxes. Coincidentally, many of
the worst fiscally run states, including Illinois, California, New Jersey,
Michigan and New York, already had a disastrous unfunded pension liability
crisis before they exacerbated their fiscal disaster by locking down their
states.
Nancy and
Chuck have over $1 trillion embedded in their porkulus HEROES package slated to
bailout the pension liabilities of Democrat run states. All Americans would get
to pay for the gold-plated pension and healthcare benefits of union teachers
who refuse to go back to work and teach their children. The fiscal
mismanagement at all levels of government and bubble blowing actions taken by the
Fed on behalf of their real constituents (not you) seem to fit into a more
diabolical scheme.
As a
representative of conspiracy theorists who question everything I’m told by my
government, the corporate media, and self-proclaimed experts, it appears we are
being led towards an outcome predetermined by the Deep State/Invisible
Government. When conspiracy theories have been confirmed and exceeded by
reality, government agencies at the behest of an outgoing president conduct a
coup against a sitting president, a flu pandemic on par with the 1957 and 2009
flu pandemics is hyped into an unnecessary national lockdown, a highly
coordinated campaign to start a race war mysteriously erupts, and behemoth
monopolistic social media corporations censor the scientific opinions of
physicians and any opinion contrary to the state sanctioned narrative, your tin
foil antenna should be picking up worrisome signals.
So, what is their end game? Where are we headed? Is there a method to the madness swirling around us? I certainly don’t have a high level of confidence in my ability to predict what is going to happen over the next year or two. We know they have succeeded in dumbing down and socially indoctrinating multiple generations through the government run education system. They convinced them to voluntarily relinquish their privacy rights to left wing social media corporations who act in concert with the government surveillance state.
Snowden
laid it out for all to see, but the sheep remained passive and willfully
ignorant, as long as they were entertained by cute cat videos and tweets from
their Hollywood idols. This concocted pandemic crisis has allowed those in
control to test how far they could use propaganda, fear, dictatorial edicts and
threats to make the masses do as they are told. It has been a resounding
success, as the humanity of citizens has been purged by muzzles, social
distancing, quarantining in place, banning gatherings (except BLM/ANTIFA
protests/riots), and convincing wage earners being forced into joblessness by
government mandate is being patriotic.
They have
used the pandemic to test universal basic income, paying people not to work.
It’s been so popular, most people don’t want to go back to their former jobs.
Those receiving the $600 per week don’t care where it comes from. They just
know they are making more than they were working. They are satisfied sheltering
in place, buying iPhones and ordering from Amazon, while tweeting about social
justice and doing their best Karen on Facebook about non face diapering
criminals.
That’s why these Silicon Valley behemoth
corporations have made billions during this pandemic, while hundreds of
thousands of small businesses go dark. It’s almost as if the powers that be
want to concentrate more economic power and control in the hands of a few
government sanctioned corporations. It’s much easier to control the narrative
when 6 corporations dominate the mainstream media and 4 corporations control
most of the social media platforms.
Herding large
swaths of the population in a particular direction, invoking mass insanity, is
not a new occurrence, as it has happened numerous times throughout history.
MacKay and Nietzsche have documented previous incidents, but the modern day
ability of evil men to socially engineer the herd through technology in a
direction beneficial to their agenda has changed the dynamic.
“In
individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it
is the rule.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
“Men, it
has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds,
while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.” – Charles
MacKay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
The goal
of the oligarchs is to not allow individuals to recover their senses, one by
one. Individuals who question or do not conform to the approved narrative are
canceled, attacked or financially ruined by the establishment attack dogs. When
assessing why insane falsehoods are peddled to the masses, it’s always a good
bet to follow the money. Who benefits financially from a particular narrative?
This entire BLM narrative of systematic racism is complete and utter bullshit. The cities in which the protests and riots have occurred have been run by left wing Democrats for decades. Blacks cast 90% of their votes for Democrats. The slaughtering of young black men is being done by other young black men. The blatantly obvious problem for black people is the 70% of households without a father, exacerbated by the welfare state implemented by liberals.
White
people keeping blacks down is a lie. But this big lie is being used to pit the
white working class against blacks. This false narrative allows the billionaire
class to further loot and pillage the nation through rigged markets and Federal
Reserve generosity, while their media corporations promote race wars and
conflict based on a false premise. The social media tyrants are worse than the
mainstream media. Not only do they promote false narratives on behalf of their
benefactors, they easily silence dissenters presenting facts to counter the
false narrative. They are disappeared with the click of a mouse. Orwellian
censorship is nothing compared to what is being done today.
Another
recent narrative which is entirely false is the national cash/coin shortage,
forcing people to pay electronically. Where exactly did the cash and
coins go, creating the shortage? Economic activity is dramatically down over
the last few months. That should have created a glut of cash and coins. This is
an engineered fake shortage, again gauging the reaction of the public to
forcing them into a cashless society, where the banking cabal syphons off a
percentage of each transaction.
Mom and
pop stores prefer cash because they can’t afford the banking fees for debit and
credit transactions. A cashless society would put more small business owners
out of business. Electronic transactions can be tracked and taxed. Individuals
who don’t conform and obey could be electronically canceled. More control and
wealth directed into the hands of the powerful.
I know I’m
experiencing increasing feelings of anger and disillusionment the longer this
contrived crisis is prolonged by the authoritarians dictating from upon high to
the normal/deplorables. The anger borders upon depression, as I see no way to
reverse the course of this country towards a Marxist future and civil
insurrection when they push their agenda too far.
There is a
simmering fury building in those being called racist, denied the ability to
work, imprisoned in their homes and commanded to face muzzle by tyrant
governors. While the biggest banks, retailers, and social media
corporations, along with their executives, have enriched themselves during this
pandemic, the average American is seeing their lives destroyed and their future
getting bleaker by the day. The saber rattling towards China and Russia is
another narrative which will be pushed harder as the pandemic panic wears off.
They must keep fear alive, to further their aims. War is hugely profitable for
the Deep State and Military Industrial Complex.
This
Fourth Turning still has five to ten years left before it burns itself out. One
thing is for sure. It will not de-intensify before a climax is reached, with
clear winners and losers. Much bloodshed is likely to befall the globe before
its finale. The rest of 2020 is likely to be chaotic and wrought with the
potential for civil conflict. The mail in ballot clash has the potential to
sever the Constitutional binds holding this nation together. With the losing
side refusing to acknowledge the winner of the presidential election, if it can
even be declared on November 3, the civil unrest in the streets seen thus far
will look like a walk in the park.
But this
will just be a prelude to much larger clashes in the next three years. Just
examine events from the prior three Fourth Turnings on an eighty year look
back: 1941 – 1943 (Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Midway); 1861 – 1863 (Battle
of Antietam, Battle of Gettysburg, Battle of Vicksburg); 1781 – 1783 (Battle of
Yorktown, Treaty of Paris). The turning points of the prior three Fourth
Turnings occurred during these eighty year increments. What awaits us in 2021 –
2023? Whatever the challenges that lie ahead, it will require courage, guile,
cooperation, and a patriotic love of our country to defeat the globalist scum
enslaving the world with their warped, sadistic greed.
Huxley’s vision of the future dominated
the western world for decades, as mankind has proven they could be trained to
love their servitude by satisfying their infinite appetite for distractions.
Trivialities, satisfying your ego, passively accepting what you are spoon fed,
and seeking pleasure have kept the masses under control until this century.
But, 9/11 began ushering in the future Orwell always feared. The Surveillance
State was born, with the Patriot Act providing cover for the Deep State to
watch everything we do and say, with the social media conglomerates providing
the access to our personal information.
Anyone who doesn’t see the connection between this
pandemic lockdown and the central theme of Orwell’s 1984, where the government
controls the individual by suppressing individual happiness and freedom through
a combination of propaganda, manipulation and fear, is choosing to be willfully
ignorant. The Thought Police are patrolling social media platforms and
censoring the free speech of dissenters, effectively suppressing truth.
Everything is cyclical and we are most certainly
entering the darkest period of this cycle. The Fed has created another fake
boom in the stock market, but this fictitious prosperity will end in
depression, as all credit driven booms do. The American Empire, as we know it,
is coming to an end. The only question is whether it goes out with a whimper or
a bang.
If you think the world doesn’t make sense and you
don’t understand why people aren’t acting rationally, don’t worry. You are the
one who is sane. It’s the rest of the world that is crazy. Don’t lose faith.
There are others out there who refuse to embrace their servitude. Don’t follow
the crowd. Think for yourself. Question everything. Prepare for the worst,
because it’s coming. Use your time wisely. Keep your loved ones close. And
befriend like minded people. The future of our country hangs in the balance.
“When the
whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite
direction appears to have lost his mind.” – C. S. Lewis
