Transcript for 10/17/24: PEASANT DREAMS – BE WISE AS SERPENTS, AND INNOCENT AS DOVES W/ ALAN JOHNSON
Is anyone experiencing election fatigue? I am -- but it is because I am tired of hearing the same old scripted words about the economy --especially when these hollow solutions are being said by Kamala Harris.
While we squabble over which side is winning this losing battle to lead the country, there is something being concocted in the dens of power, far beyond the public eye, and it doesn’t bode well for the future of this country-- It is a conspiracy that I have constantly warned you about.
It is the conspiracy where the Oligarchy benefits from creating a peasant class so desperate that they will work till they bleed as they step up the rungs of the ladder to the middle class.
From the pages of Orwell's 1984 we read:
"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.”
It is the stick and carrot -- it is always the stick and the carrot -- but what is sad is that now people seem to be satisfied with sticks -- they have a choice to either eat the sticks or use them as weapons.
Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by the antics of the political ruling class that they are oblivious to all else, you’d better beware. Anytime you have a government that operates in the shadows, speaks in a language of force, and rules by fiat, you’d better beware.
And anytime you have a government so far removed from its people as to ensure that they are never seen, heard or heeded by those elected to represent them, you’d better beware.
This is the way of things now -- and the truth I’m afraid is ugly -- the results of this election are certainly going to be a turning point for the future -- as we are now edging closer to a civil war --and this war will not just be over political ideation -- but for the survival of a nation that is staring and fighting to rebuild what they have lost.
We are no longer facing poverty --- we are facing the true peasant class.
This is how good, generally decent people—having allowed themselves to be distracted with manufactured crises, polarizing politics, and fighting that divides the populace into warring us vs. them camps—fail to take note of the looming danger that threatens to wipe freedom from the map and place us all in chains.
We’re in a national state of denial, yet no amount of escapism can shield us from the harsh reality that the danger in our midst is posed by an entrenched government bureaucracy that has no regard for the Constitution, Congress, the courts or the citizenry.
No matter how often the team colors change, the playbook remains the same.
You know the agenda -- and so it is time to act. It is time to protect yourself spiritually, mentally and financially.
I am hearing loud an clear -- what is being said between the lines --but now we also have to read between the lies as well.
There is nothing more aggravating than being stuck in traffic and listening to the radio and how we are blatantly being gaslighted with regard to the economy. Every interview I hear where Kamala Harris is asked hard questions about economy. She detours the question and says that the billionaire elite will be paying their fare share of taxes --and that he number 1 priority is to stop the price gouging that she says is responsible for the three grocery sacks that run up to $150 dollars.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ Food Price Index, which tracks the international prices of a basket of globally traded food, averaged 124.4 in September, up 3% from August and 2.1% higher versus the same month one year ago.
In July, a separate report from Isabella Weber of the University of Massachusetts Amherst warned, “More regular supply shocks are likely for food,” indicating the dire need for a new stabilization approach involving a buffer system to mitigate price volatility in essential commodities to promote economic stability and growth.
When Kamala Harris is asked if she can do anything now to change things since she appears to be the one in charge -- she says that there is nothing comes to mind that she would change.
Meanwhile later in my commute- the top of the hour news reports that Walgreens, the company that I use for my medications is going to close 500 stores soon.
It is bad enough that there are shortages of drugs being shipped to these stores and now I may have to find another pharmacy to get the medications I need.
Here is a question-- did you ever think that you would live to see a day when hundreds of 7-Eleven stores would be closing? Sadly, that time has now arrived.
Seven & I Holdings, the chain’s Japan-based parent company, revealed in an earnings report Thursday that 444 locations of 7-Eleven are shutting down because of a variety of issues, including slowing sales, declining traffic, inflationary pressures and a decrease in cigarette purchases.
True Value hardware has been forced to file for bankruptcy and will be “selling substantially all of its operations to a rival.” True Value has been in business for 75 years.
Home Depot is hastily exiting warehouse space, to the tune of 3.2 million square feet in a month, according to Bisnow.
Since late August, Home Depot has put up nearly 4 million square feet of warehouse space for sublease, including a 1.3M SF Phoenix warehouse and a 1.1M SF distribution center in the Inland Empire, according to CoStar Analytics.
If you have recently lost your job, I feel very badly for you, because the employment market has gotten a lot more “complicated” than it was in the old days.
Once upon a time, being good at what you do was enough.
But now other considerations are often more important than pure merit.
A top Oregon state official has been put on administrative leave after a pink-haired, DEI-obsessed subordinate complained he was making hiring decisions based on qualifications instead of personal identity considerations, according to a report.
Mike Shaw, who until recently served as the Oregon Department of Forestry’s second-in-command, was put on blast by Megan Donecker, the department’s former DEI strategy officer, for looking “beyond gender and identity in hiring, seeking only candidates most qualified for the job.”
Primerica’s latest Financial Security Monitor report for the third quarter found 55% of middle-income households now rate their personal financial situation negatively, a 6-point jump from the previous survey.
“For the first time in a year, a majority of middle-income households are feeling negative about their personal finances,” said Glenn Williams, CEO of Primerica. “In fact, this latest report represents the highest negative rating we’ve seen since we began fielding the survey exactly four years ago.”
What is interesting is how game shows and variety shows now are able to somehow giveaway a million dollars as a grand prize. The reason why is sounds so appealing is because it used to be that a Million dollars meant that you were set --and that you could live the American dream -- well with new housing costs being half a million and all of the other tax considerations -- a million dollars no longer buys the American dream.
You can live the American Dream, but it will cost you.
The lifetime tab for such aspirations as owning a home, driving new cars, raising kids and taking annual vacations comes to a cool $4.4 million, according to Investopedia, the financial media site.
That’s more than the average American earns in a lifetime.
So you think If I could jut win the lottery all of my dreams would come true.
Lottery officials announced Monday that it will cost $5 to play Mega Millions, beginning in April, up from the current $2 per ticket. The price increase will be one of many changes to Mega Millions that officials said will result in improved jackpot odds, more frequent giant prizes and even larger payouts.
It’s the second time the price of a ticket has increased in Mega Millions’ 22-year history: In 2017, the price jumped from $1 to $2 — the same cost of a Powerball ticket. That’s also when Mega Millions adopted its current format of choosing six total numbers from two different pools – and when all the numbers match, including the gold Mega Ball, the player wins the jackpot.
Since those changes, the jackpot has breached the billion-dollar mark six times including, most recently in 2023, when a record-breaking $1.6 billion ticket was won in Florida. Notably, of the lottery’s top 10 biggest-ever jackpots, three occurred this year.
This too is an indication of just how bad our economy has declined -- from Big Macs, movies, beer and lottery tickets going up in price -- the conspiracy of creating the peasant class is becoming more and more evident.
It is inevitable that most Americans are getting used to being thrown into the peasant class and they don’t 3seem to care that this is the conspiracy to weaken the country morally and financially.
A perfect storm of war in Eastern Europe and broadening conflicts in the Middle East, snarled maritime supply chains, extreme weather across croplands, de-growth climate change policies pushed by the far-left , and rogue central bank money printing have all contributed to inflation.
The majority of us live in a low-value, low-trust economy of shoddy goods and services hidden beneath high-tech frictionless, faceless transactions -- and we have acclimated to it as a normal part of our living.
But it is now just a matter of existing and hoping that no unforeseen financial circumstances force you into homelessness or worse.
Social trust is eroding --and people will one day wake up and understand that they are equally destitute and always on their knees praying for some miracle because they did not listen to the warnings that have been issued about the secret agenda of the World Order.
Social trust manifests in all sorts of ways, and it’s often amorphous and difficult to measure. We sense its presence or absence, but exactly what is it? Is it our trust in strangers, or our trust in institutions, or a warm and fuzzy feeling that our society isn’t falling apart?
In several critical ways, social trust isn’t warm and fuzzy, it’s all about the money. In high-trust societies, transactions are frictionless and low-cost. In low-trust societies, transactions must go through multiple levels of verification, trusted third-parties.
In cultures where cunning and deception are seen as laudable, business transactions are slow, proceeding only carefully, in a time-consuming way because both parties have to ensure the other’s compliance at every phase of the arrangement.
With inflation at a high, the dollar losing its purchasing power, average people are losing faith in the financial system altogether.
In the future, it is a sad reality that those who were considered middle class will drop to a peasant class --and will have to somehow learn to climb the ladder to at least get back to any sense of normalcy.
People will have to relearn the principles of “thrift, prudence, negotiation, and hard work” in order to gain their footing and fight against those who wish to bankrupt you.
It is a very real and criminal endeavor provided by the world's oligarchy -- where the idea of monitoring every cash transaction will be common with the arrival of the CBDC.
Which is Central Bank Digital Currency.
Remember before all of this new socialized monetary monitoring can begin the ladder to middle class security has to close and the economy has to stagnate.
This will be the next shock on the agenda that was mentioned by The United Nations -- that will more than likely provide more fodder for the implementation of the Pact for the future.
Once the elites devote themselves to suppressing adaptations and defending extremes of the wealth-income-power inequality that benefits them, the system decays and collapses.
The top 10% want the status quo to continue as is, even as the bottom 90% fall behind. When enough of the bottom 90% decide to “let it rot,” the entire rotten structure collapses under its own weight.
If we want social / economic renewal, we have to make it straightforward for anyone willing to adopt the values and habits of “thrift, prudence, negotiation, and hard work” to climb the ladder to middle class security.
We cannot succumb to the idea that we will own nothing and be happy-- because this is self defeating--and halts progress. If e leave it up to the corporate rule --we will certainly see fascism rear it's head.
The Pact for the Future risks conflicting with the U.S. Constitution, undermining principles like state sovereignty, freedom of speech, and individual liberties. It could open the door to executive overreach and subordination of U.S. law to international regulations, violating core constitutional protections.
The Fifth Amendment protects against the seizure of private property without just compensation. However, global sustainability goals outlined in the Pact for the Future could impose land use and environmental regulations that violate property rights.
These regulations may infringe on economic freedom and property ownership, particularly if governments are required to comply with global mandates without adequate compensation. Organizations like the World Council for Health argue that these initiatives pose a direct threat to property rights and economic freedom.
You have the right to life liberty and the ownership of land and gold-- you have the right o prosper in a land that is supposed to be constitutionally bound to a thriving republic.
None of this applies today -- as we see the moves being made towards a state socialist form of control.
That is why moves are to made now to avoid being thrown into the peasant class. This is why you are hearing about having a diverse portfolio with precious metals so you have something that is solid with value that has been around since time infinitum
You need to at least understand that at this time of election interference and hateful propaganda -- it is the world government that is a threat to all of us financially and constitutionally.
The Pact for the Future aims to address global challenges, its potential to undermine U.S. sovereignty and erode constitutional protections is deeply concerning. The U.S. Constitution enshrines the rights of individuals and states to govern themselves, and any international agreement that threatens these protections must be scrutinized.
The health of the economy has been a major determining factor in many past presidential elections, and the health of the economy is certainly going to have an enormous influence on the outcome of the upcoming presidential election.
In fact, according to a poll that was just released by Rasmussen the economy is the number one issue by a wide margin for voters in the ultra-important swing state of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately for the Democrats, most Americans are not pleased with how the economy is performing.
Life is good in America for the privileged few, but... it’s getting worse by the day for the rest of us.
Those who are really listening are preparing for the moment that it all crashes down.
Analyst keep saying that it is now time to Get liquid. Be a prepper and set aside a few months’ worth of essentials in case the going gets tough.
Build your savings not necessarily in dollars, but in gold, silver, and other precious metals. The markets will become chaotic. At some point, the markets will start going up and down like an elevator with a lunatic at the controls.
Imagine the mental health psychosis that will follow the election -- this is going to be the worst ever -- when we have been programmed into believing that there is one group more virtuous than the other we will begin to see the mistreatment of Americans based on ideologies alone.
As the bible states it will be time to be as wise as serpents, and innocent as doves. Beware of government agents with self serving agendas and be wise with your money and your financial safety net.
