Don’t kid yourself: the “inflation” and Iran War have very little to do with why you are being fleeced as billionaires keep getting richer.

It is a form of control: Economic Terrorism.

You don’t see the C-Suite cutting back or losing their jobs.

That is big red flag Number One.

They are lining their pockets with increased salaries and bonuses.

That is big red flag Number Two.

Those are two signs that the recession is manufactured.

Whenever Donald Trump is in office and he is in trouble, there is some terrorizing event that begins. In his first time, there was COVID-19 terrorism. While the Left co-opted it, Trump kept trying to pin it on China, calling it the “Wuhan Virus”. That was supposed to be the way he wanted to weaken China, but it backfired. The fatal flaw was others trying to gain an upper hand by trying to control everyone and not have a designated out-group, which was flawed propaganda, and it ultimately failed. (Was COVID-19 real? Yes, but real doesn’t mean it isn’t exaggerated or exploitable. Every lie needs a kernel of truth to take root. More people died of cancer than they did of COVID-19 in 2020, and yet we never had a ghoulish Cancer Death Tracker on newscasts. Get a grip. We don’t have death trackers for car accidents, sexual assaults, domestic homicides, mass shootings or serial killers, either).

The problem for propagandists is that once you prime a person’s brain, it stays primed for years, and all subsequent propaganda campaigns fall flat for a generation.

But Trump is in a corner again, and the attack on Iran has less to do with war or even deflection from the Epstein files than to spike prices to keep the masses under control.

Economic terrorism is a way to do it: if people are afraid of homelessness, failure, bankruptcy, and the inability to feed their families, they are less likely to go protesting or feel big enough to challenge people higher up the pecking order than they are. The thinking is: if there are people who can succeed, and I can’t; then there is something wrong with me.

Never mind they are robber barons fleecing you and shaking you down rather than competent. Never mind if they break the law, they pay a fine they can easily cover, but everyone else goes to jail.

Even government grants are structured in a way that only the wealthiest companies can even qualify for funding (such as having so many employees, are insured for a certain amount of money, or some other factor that a new company could not possibly achieve).

But people tend to suck it up and look for passive and covert ways of coping, such as cutting back or getting a side hustle.

They don’t think of making demands or questioning the economic terrorists.

But economic terrorism is a short-term tool: eventually, jealousy, pride, vanity and rage get the better of some people; common sense gets the better of others.

And you don’t need a majority. You need only one.

You need only one person to say, it’s not your fault, and it’s easy to be rich when you are terrorizing people through their wallets.

Because a good leader solves problems. A bad leader creates more.

There is no such thing as “short-term pain for long-term gain.” Look at the wealthiest and most powerful in control. Where is their pain?

It’s only gain.

And that’s all you need to know.
