Armstrong; "True, that that $1.9 trillion bill is just a Democrat’s wish-list. The $1,400 checks are for about 100 million. The fact that 70% of Americans approve of this and assume they are getting $1,400 checks, that is only 0.013571429% of the total bill."

Armstrong, "We still see that this cycle into 2024 will be one of inflation. Our computer has projected that this inflationary cycle would be one based on shortages"
"has led to the deflationary wave which our model shows bottomed in January 2020. Yes, they increased the money supply, but they also reduced disposable income. Those conflicting trends caused one component behind the failure to stimulate the economy."
"This all points to a rally on a different type of economic recovery based upon inflationary shortages and our target of 40,000 we warned about several years ago no longer sounds so crazy."
"The shortages are appearing everywhere from electronics to food. These governments in following the World Economic Forum which refuses to be transparent in its finances have disrupted the supply chain in just about every possible sector."
"Once we begin to accomplish a monthly closing above the $67 level, then the more pronounced inflationary spiral should begin."

These Four Giant U.S. States are About to Go Bankrupt
Updated January 16, 2021
https://investinganswers.com/article...ut-go-bankrupt

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s suggestion that maybe states and cities should just go bankrupt amid the coronavirus-induced economic crisis they’re facing has not been particularly well-received. A big part of the issue: As the law stands right now, states can’t declare bankruptcy."

OK, the blue States were on the verge of bankruptcy. Naturally, the Dems are going to vote for a big bailout.
The Reps will vote for a bailout because the blue States & cities owe the money to the banks. The Reps will save the banks.
No big surprise that it was a bi-partisan bill.
Parkinson's Law states that a GOV bureaucracy will grow by 6% a year regardless of work load.
So the State bails out the State bureaucracy. The money ends up in the banks.

The banks went crazy with speculation until they had reached gargantuan size. At this point, the State was forced to bail them out to avoid a full-on crash. Once the banks had convinced the State that they were too big to fail, the state could NOT risk NOT bailing them out. This continued to this day with the bailouts getting increasingly expensive.
While the abandonment of the gold standard started a perennial decline in effective wages, it was deregulation that got us ripped off on a daily basis.

Keynes, "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose"
America is definitely on the road to destroying the dollar.
Controlled by the tribe and the British, America went on a campaign of acquiring an empire. Our post war gold & reputation gave rise to our status as the reserve currency.
We serially devalued our currency in the name of preserving market share against others who were devaluing their currency to maintain domestic employment. This is called a "race to the bottom". We are sliding towards a "global mean wage"

Our manufacturing industry has been gutted by outsourcing. This is all done by speculators making a buck from global wage arbitrage.
Unfortunately, the non-producers are in a position of control.
Congratulations US Worker - You Make 13 Cents More per Hour Than You Did in 1973
The abandonment of the gold standard allowed runaway currency inflation.
The Reagan era embracement of Neo-Liberal economics allowed the destruction of a system that worked well for the worker but, NOT for the speculator.
The Clinton era rollback of the Glass-Steagal act by way of the Graham-Leach-Bailey act allowed the banks to speculate in everything using your money.

The millions of speculators are joined by millions of non-producing State employees in stripping the working man of the just proceeds from his labor.
This strip-mining of the working class has proceeded to the point where there is nothing more to take.
The non-producers have been reduced to relying on wet-ink money to survive. 1/4 of the entire money supply has been created in the last year.
Seeing a looming crash, the State is trying to create an even-more draconian control structure.
The plandemic was supposed to allow the framework of this structure to be implemented.
Fascist control augmented by big tech and AI was to allow the State to maintain control.
This is doubtful.

John Hussman;
"See, the thing that defines a bubble isn’t that valuations are extremely high, or that expected returns are extremely low. Instead, what defines a bubble is that investors drive valuations higher without simultaneously adjusting expectations for returns lower. That is, investors extrapolate past returns based on price behavior,"
"In March 2000, at the height of the technology bubble, I noted: “Over time, price/revenue ratios come back in line. Currently, that would imply an 83% plunge in tech stocks"
"The collapse of the 2000 bubble would ultimately erase half the value of the S&P 500, and would take the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 down an implausibly precise 83%."

The current situation is that; investors know that they aren't going to get any great returns. The FED is pumping in so much money that the value of their stocks go up.
Everything is dependent on the FED inflating the value of stocks. It can never let off the gas pedal.
As the FED inflates the value of the stocks with free money, it deflates the value of the money.

So, I'm up to page 279. You may think that I am obsessive. It may look like that at this early stage.
When I started the ,,, presidential election,,, thread, there were very few views.
Later, it became apparent that the election was a MAJOR turning point in world history.
ALL democracies collapse because of excessive public spending. The loss of the election ensured that public spending would run amuck. In 2020, the State created $27 billion in new liquidity every day. Trump was completely hogtied by a State apparatus that did not want to cede power or diminish spending.

THE BATTLE LINES HAVE BEEN DRAWN

Here is an excellent vid from Australia laying out just how private industry and private business have been destroyed, en masse.
At the same time, public employees have received their normal paycheck AND, many $ millions in bonuses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckgRaH_FxBE
Australian authorities have been some of the worst in the world at abusing their citizens. The cops seem to go out of their way to find an excuse to beat people up.
The State wants to make it painfully clear that there is NO alternative to compliance.

The administration in the District of Corruption has made it very clear that they are going to raise taxes WAY up.
FED debt has gone up astronomically.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-R...h184/image.png
The working age population has gone way down.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M...h241/image.png
The debt-to-birth ratio is close to vertical.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H...h229/image.png

The State is only concerned about the welfare of the State. They confiscated the guns in OZ some years ago.
The State demands it's fair share of your earnings. The State decides what is fair.
Armstrong's records / models go back centuries showing a recurrent collapse of public debt.
Zimbabwe shows us the common process.
BUT, we live in the digital age. That dollar bill in your pocket is proof that you worked & provided some service to the economy and, society in general.
The emerging digital dollar will never be in your pocket. Possession is 9/10 of the law.
The State has obviously embarked on a path to force everyone to pay the "inflation tax". Those who are not connected to the public food trough will pay very heavily to those who are.

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have."
A democracy grows without limit until it creates a financial collapse from insufficient revenue. As we see all around us, the public sector grows until it collapses the private sector.

Armstrong; "the FED is bailing out the world on it debts as fast as possible, including the 15 central banks with the “swap lines” loans to these central banks??
The sovereign debt on a global scale is unprecedented. This COVID-19 shutdown has pushed the debt system over the edge. Even British Gilts turned negative for the first time in history at the hand of the market. The Fed will try to save the day, but this is beyond control. We are looking at a massive crisis in debt and it does not appear that debt will be able to survive. Our sources confirm that over 100 countries have asked the IMF for help already. This is too big to deal with for the Fed or a group of central banks."

"locked down the world population where NOTHING of such a magnitude has EVER taken place in 6,000 years of recorded history. These drastic practices to contain this exaggerated pandemic have unleashed a Sovereign Debt Crisis our computer has been forecasting but never in my personal imagination would I have ever anticipated that this would be deliberate."
"Our warning of the pending Monetary Crisis Cycle and the simultaneous Sovereign Debt Crisis Cycle has created a world economic outlook that is just beyond ANYTHING we have witnessed in over 300 years. This is How Empires, Nations, and City-States die.'
The capitalist will protect himself by hoarding and refusing to invest while commerce, having no nationality, will leave in search of more fertile ground; but the wage earner, first to suffer under the ravages of a depreciated currency, remains incapable of prospering from the fluctuations in price and frustrated by his inability to hoard his own labour from the ever encroaching demands of taxation. His dilemma is without peaceful resolution for he can but only flee to another land or sacrifice his life in defiance of the injustices of the greedy ruling class."

The obvious conclusion;
Once again, public debt is crashing. The State is trying everything possible to keep many millions of bureaucrats well funded,,,, even if it means impoverishing the private sector AND, destroying the dollar.
There is NOBODY looking out for you.
