Since 2007, the U.S. has heavily relied on debt to support its high standard of living. This has strongly contributed to the proliferation of total nonsense in public affairs.
Recently I read Dr Suzanne Humphrie's Dissolving Illusions, a book that makes you rethink everything you've been taught about the allopathic medical model.
But you've taken it up a notch, and I think you're right.
"Such a crisis would, however, terminate or Age of Delusional Nonsense"
We're in for a ride, and not for the feint of heart.
If you appreciated, "Dissolving Illusions" (which I also read), I think you will also appreciate, " "Crooked": Man-Made Disease Explained, by Forrest Maready.
If I had the ways & the means, I would make these books available to the majority of the population who are sadly & woefully misinformed about vaccines. Also, "Turtles All The Way Down" (the one with the forward by Mary Holland, JD). There are now other books that have used that title, so need to make that distinction.
Yes, so many hidden truths but in these books. Like 90% or more of the diseases or infections were in FREEFALL prior to the introduction of the vaccines due to increased hygiene, sanitation and better nutrition.
Dr. Humphries & Roman Bystrianyk did a great job in researching this topic. My hat goes off to them. Someone else who has pointed this out in earlier books & publications is Russell Blaylock, MD - a retired neurosurgeon. I subscribe to his monthly newsletter, "The Blaylock Wellness Report". He is deeply knowledgeable about biochemistry & the way everything impacts our health. He is not supportive of any vaccines. I highly recommend his newsletter which is available through Newsmax as an on-line edition or a hard copy that is mailed. I opted for the hard copy as it is easier for me to refer back to prior issues. Also, as a subscriber, one can go to the on-line site & read all of the back issues. A password is needed, which changes monthly, & is made available in each edition. It is a valuable source of information.
And I'm sure you're familiar with the Baileys, Dr. Sam & her husband, doctors from Australia? They are doing amazing work there exposing the fallacy of the allopathic supposed "war on germs" by lifting up the true hero of it all, the terrain theory of real immunity. Terrain Theory will forever change the way we've done business in the last 100 years. As Dr Palmer once said "If the germ theory of disease were true no one would be alive to believe it.” 😊.
I used to read Blaylock years ago, yes, he is a very wise man. I interact occasionally with Roman here on Substack too when he puts out happenings 100 years ago that was going on. They've been trying to corral us in the Medical Cartel for a long time! Thanks for your thoughts!
Obviously, I can't speak for ALL government jobs. However, I did spend 31 years in a state government job at a university in South Texas. I can assure you that we always had productive work to do, except during a few summers in the early years. Later on, as administrative staff, we worked until the job was done, often working well before and after the usual 8 to 5.
I can also say that we were grossly underpaid until the last few years, after a survey showed our salary schedule was about 15% below the local pay scale, which was about 15% below the state average, which was about 15% below the national average. The story was likely apocryphal, but supposedly some secretaries in the colleges were leaving to go work at McDonalds for higher pay.
And we were considered state employees, but some state employees working at the same jobs in other agencies were paid at a higher rate. A threatened civil rights lawsuit resulted in changes for the better in the 90s. And no, I'm not a "minority" in any way: I'm about as white as they come.
That said, I'm fairly certain the average federal employee, what I'd call the bread and butter workers, have had little or nothing to do with the spiraling debt we're facing. That can be laid at the feet of primarily the politicians and the political appointees.
Very well written. The Federal level is to blame… at least for now. Tax and spend is broken. Lack of balanced budget is unsustainable. They could increase the salaries of good people like you if they eliminate the waste and fraud.
“When people are not constrained by reality in their daily lives and work their fantasies and delusions run wild.” Unfortunately this describes the majority of people. Personal credit use is a depiction of the same insanity.
The probability of Earth-impact will likely increase until it suddenly goes to 0% (or 100%). Why “city-killer” asteroid YR4’s impact probability keeps increasing
It's all about debt! And if you think it is anything other than a scheme to use the US Treasury to transfer wealth to Wall Street, you would be wrong...!
Illusion…. I’d contend 99% of what’s in social media posts
Delusion…. Everything- 100% that was promoted and propagandized during the Biden administration… surrounding the TRANS agenda … which told us men can be women …and women can be men …and minor children can decode this for themselves
And virtual reality… is all social engineering and an attempt to disconnect people from …actual REALITY!!!
And once that occurs
People are living in a state of illusion, delusion and virtual reality….
That $36 trillion deficit = 1/3 real spending, 1/3 accumulated interest added into the deficit, 1/3 fraud and abuse. Millions of grifters, a whole DC Swamp empowered army of them, have been sucking the taxpayer dollar dry for decades. May they all become homeless. They deserve no less.
Trump is getting rid of penny production. Bad move as the Fed had crumpled the dollar's value from a whole buck down to about 2-3 cents since they came into being 111 years ago. We are going to need those pennies.
I’m sure many of the do nothing bureaucrats are relatives of someone who got them a job! I feel badly for those who work hard and do their job. They’re taking some hard knocks. This audit needed to happen. Long overdue.
I really wish humans would transition off electrical grid power. In a de-facto "phase one", you could run anything low power from a battery pack that's charged by solar, wind, or Honda Portable generator. This would be either 12 or 24 volt DC power and its distribution wiring would be totally separate of the 120/240 volt AC wiring. This low voltage DC system would power all your lights -obviously low voltage DC power like you have in cars and RV's. For your electronics, you just have separate inverters at each location where needed. You would never have to modify the existing grid 120 AC power. You would leave all the wall plugs just like they are. You probably could power mini refrigerators and even low power heaters using inverted DC to AC. This way when the transformer down the street blows up and your grid power goes out, you're not affected that much because most of your electrical needs are coming from the alternate system. The reason why you don't modify the regular grid system in de-facto phase 1, is because you need the grid power for washer and dryer and AC and possibly heat. The alternate system won't power the "big power draws". However in phase 2, you could bring in generators to start to power these bigger systems but you might have to purchase new equipment, such as replacing the equipment that runs on 3 phase current from the grid. At this point, you are pretty much immune to the effects of grid power outages. You can still use the grid power if you need to. In phase 3 you just call the electric company and tell them to permanently shut off your grid power. In phase 4 when the masses have done the same thing, grid power becomes obsolete and we can start tearing down these million miles of power lines and close power plants. If industry needs power for special needs, they can just generate their own power when needed. But good grief, we need to transition out of grid power. It's kind of ridiculous to run millions of miles of wires all over the planet to transfer power from centralized locations and be venerable to bad weather or terrorists or even regular wars. Also don't forget the energy losses from just transporting the power through millions of miles of wires. "They" say the loss is 5% or 6% but I just don't buy that. I think it's it higher. Plus phasing out high voltage AC transmission lines would be a whole lot safer, not just in terms of getting electrocuted, but from unhealthy RF energy.
Third and fourth level education has created a lot of policy writers, and report writers. Technical schools in USA from 1940s-1970s created a great amount of people who symbolised and embodied "american ingenuity". Over-taxation by the 3rd & 4th level elites in power in the North East and Rustbelt enriched those elites in the halls of power, and drove manufacturing created ingenuity out of town and state and country.
Lets get some commonsense people who know how to create wealth by hands on means using ingenutiy and commonsense, to restore a semblance of order and prosperity to all those devastated communities.
Entirely appropriate summation, John Leake...and appreciated, as I too have been closely guided by facts and reality, as a (multiple) tradesman and Professional Fire Fighter...we cannot lightly use vain imaginations in place of the grim truth, and expect to save any lives, or our own, and those of our fellows. Well done, John Leake, it is a pleasure to hear you. Thanks for the critique on the failed economy/ideology...maybe some will learn.
"I suspect that more than half of all government jobs consist of doing total BS activities that have nothing to do with producing and delivering a real product or service."
John, you do some good work. But that statement is not worthy of the same praise. It needs to be buttressed by research — that is, the "reality" that you laud. It may be true, or it may not. But I see it in the administration's "make a desert and call it peace" laying waste of the federal work force. What DOGE should be doing is at least demanding of each employee a brief description of what they actually do. But that would require taking some time and thought (admittedly risking counter-attack), just like what wasn't done in Operation Warp Speed.
Everything I think I know about economics (micro and macro) is total bovine excrement. Truly, my life is based on an illusion of working hard, saving, and living within my means. Might be time to just spend money I don't have because hey...big bro does it. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
We tried to always live debt-free. We bought a modest 100+ yr old house that needed work, and refinanced when interest rates dropped, changing from a 30 yr to a 15 yr term, and are now mortgage-free and totally debt-free. We buy used cars and drive them into the dirt until they die at 20-25 yrs old. We live within our means so we can completely pay our credit card bills every month. And all this on a modest single salary, because I wanted to be the one to raise my children at home, so I was a full time mom. It can be done, but one has to be willing to make sacrifices. IMO we're living in an age of entitlement and selfishness. More and more people feel they need to have more and more stuff, bigger better and more expensive stuff, status competing stuff. I was raised by parents who lived through the great depression. They could better distinguish between want and need, and they instilled that in us. Perhaps we need another depression as a reset? I guess it boils down to priorities, and that needs a reset as well.

only half?
Only suspect? 😉

This is precisely why I sometimes root for Team Meteor. We are in need of a restart.
Can you direct it at DC, Brussels, the City of London, NYC, or even at Kief?

Asteroid 2024 YR4, which could devastate a city’s worth of humans, has gone from 1.2% to 2.3% to 2.6% to 3.1% chances of impact. Here’s why. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/city-killer-asteroid-yr4-impact-probability/

Ah yes, the termination of the gravy train could well be upon us. Despite the delusions of those too young to know better, shit does indeed happen.
