I’ve read that the United States is considered by some world economists as the world’s first failed rich state. Usually when Empires fall, they’re broke as hell. …ruined. Oddly we’ve fallen yet are still the richest in the world. Well…yeah, the wealth is still there. However, it’s held by a very small powerful group.
We're a third world country with a large military, and have been so for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Catherine Austin Fitts, a very sharp financial expert, our rulers have given up on the country. They are moving the money out.
A student of history whom I have found to be very astute over the years has the following observation. When a failing state is getting ready to collapse, or is in the process of doing so, it is commonplace for the legislature to vote themselves vast sums of money from the public purse. So far this year it's been about twenty trillion dollars, I believe. That's $20,000,000,000,000.00.
One further point. Fossil fuels, particularly petroleum, have become increasingly difficult and expensive to extract and refine. Lockdowns and travel restrictions amount to a form of rationing for the common people. But of course billionaires will continue flying around the globe in their private jets.

Yep...pretty much.
ReplyDeleteMind we may disagree on some details for lockdowns. However, the effect is exactly as you say. We go nowhere lose close contacts. The delivery chains are breaking down. Items scarce. This would I believe have happened without a pandemic.
They're just using it.
Handy how it showed up when it did.
Our owners are richer than ever. We're dumber than we've been since the Know Nothing Party was a thing. Our owners see what's happening.
They're sending their wealth overseas and are circling their wagons their gated communities against the coming pitch forks.
It's simply amazing to watch the rapid decline on all fronts.
