When the Future is Unclear

I was often called Question Boy when I was younger and appreciate this title.

I recently read a post questioning vaccines which might cause some to stop and ask questions but numerous people demanded that the post be taken down, infringing upon one’s freedom of speech. I was intrigued by the general response to remove the post. Everyone is happy to strip the persons freedom of speech but probably has no scientific or legal basis for doing so. In science most stuff is considered theory and thus questionable. Things should be questioned, tested, and not blindly accepted. There is a lot going on in our country that should cause us to question what’s going on. Remember that the motivation of money can blind and distort anyones truth. This relates to many of the current issues facing our economy and it’s citizens, and the world as a whole.

The Government

In the US, you have government members who sold stock before making announcements. The government historically is not innocent in worldly affairs and lobbyist push to help corporate agendas. Those that are in it are often greedy and yet with all of the corruption that’s frequently seen we blindly accept everything and shoot down those that question it or our ways. No wonder why government is so quick to infringe on people’s rights, because people freely allow it. The government cares more about maintaining control than your well being. Don’t believe this wasn’t planned for. People have been preemptively conditioned. “When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

People are generally accepting of authority as we’ve been conditioned that way. They join a herd mentality. Society is constantly lied to, even sometimes in our churches. As it’s been said, tell a lie enough times and it becomes the truth. People no longer can tell the difference between the truth and a lie. The government will use this event for their benefit to achieve things that wouldn’t normally be accepted. One such possibility is the installation of 5G in schools during the quarantine. Some believe that 5G “small cell” antennas and “Hot-Spots” could have negative health consequences.

As the nations Coronavirus-Response Bill gets delayed by Democrats, I'm sure both parties through the influence of lobbyist will attempt to interlace their requests for non related items rather than just focusing on the problem at hand. There is often a lack of focus when dealing with issues due to everyone personal agendas which is a problem in politics. People no longer no how to create a simple one page legislative proposal. Society has created to many hoops to jump through which has become cumbersome in a time of crisis.

Big brother is watching us but we need transparency in government. We need our vote to count and our voices to be heard. Elected officials need to remember that they are public servants and responsible to the public.

The Monetary System

What Martin Luther King, Jr said now applies to everyone more than ever, “In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men- yes, black men as well as white men- would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens (of color) are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the (Negro) people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.””

Some may not realize that the government does not own the Federal Reserve. The printing of money, really is the printing of debt. We are all indentured servants to the Federal Reserve. You may be unaware of the $6.9 trillion in unfunded US pension liabilities that needs to be paid out. Maybe your aware of the coming debt crisis which we are currently making worse. Sadly this viral event could actually help reduce the governments liabilities to retirees. Assets will fall to new lows due to the destruction of capital from speculation with synthetics, derivatives, and margin trading. These tools create artificial value in the market that is now collapsing similar to the collateralized debt obligations that crashed the housing market. The same thing has been happening in the crypto market which is more transparent. Debt has inflated the value of everything in our society. In 1955, the cost of a home was approximately one years wage and college tuition was significantly cheaper.

It’s hard to say when we’ll hit bottom. What is our governments intentions? Is a reset required or could we simply shutdown the stock market as we’ve done with the rest of the economy? Is it really better to hit circuit breakers day after day or have a sudden drop like the 1929 crash. Past civilizations realized the unsustainable burden of long term debt and thus would have a year of Jubilee canceling those debts. With so many bailouts, maybe we should have a Biblical year of Jubilee.

Baby Boomers have and continue to create a debt burden for future generations of unrealistic proportions. The velocity of money has been decreasing as the wealthy and baby boomers alike have been saving cash while being afraid to invest or spend. There is a large imbalance of assets in this nation. We are in a Millennial boom yet they lack the capital to participate. This event has all been called out and was anticipated by many without the how and when. The virus will be used as a guise for some thing bigger such as financial restructuring or bailing out pensions funds or corporate debt. We live in a debt based economy where long term deflation is unhealthy thus they needed an event that would allow for the creation of long term inflation. Assets will be devalued until the rich are willing to step in. The government will reach their goals by continuing to inject money into the system and create an increased velocity of money which will result in long term inflation. 401K’s will continue to pour money into ETFs. Equities will appear to increase in dollar value but will likely remain low in terms of inflation providing a false sense of wealth. Bigger issues will arise in approximately 2030 when Millennials hit their peak purchasing power and spending again begins to level off and slow.

After the crash, we will see massive hyperinflation as the velocity of money sets in from the monetary injections and bailouts. This will not be good in the long run due to debts that can no longer be refinanced as rates begin to climb over the coming years in an effort to slow inflation. Companies will default, assets and remnants will be picked up by the government with the Fed who is currently buying up bonds. Currently the Governor of California has been proposing the acquisition of PG&E. This sounds a lot like the start of a communist state.

When inflation sets in, tangible assets such as gold, silver, physical goods and possibly cryptocurrencies should all see increases in value as the purchasing power of the dollar declines. In the meantime as every asset has more or less been held down, the dollar stays strong as they continue generating more. Economics clearly shows that the values decline with increased supply. However the paper price on silver was being quoted cheaper than what you can actually physically buy it for, leaving a puzzling disparity in the market. The divide will continue to widen as those that hold assets will become wealthier and those that have none will afford even less.

A new standard is coming. As stated in a Fed meeting, the government doesn’t like cryptocurrency simply because it’s to transparent. Currently most cryptocurrency records every transaction publicly. People would be able to see where money actually goes which is a benefit to all those unless they have something to hide. But unfortunately this issue of transparency could be changed. The Fed will go to a digital base currency which can be seen by the actions of Steven Mnuchin of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency appointing Brian Brooks, chief legal officer at cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, as first deputy comptroller, the agency's second highest position to oversee banking. No currency last forever. Banks will likely be transitioned in the coming years and may have to adopt a new digital currency. We may see an adoption of stable coins such as Coinbase’s USDC and cryptocurrency as the rest of the world adopts it. Countries like China and Russia are trying to get off the dependence of the dollar and already heading this direction.

The Media

As it’s been said by people within government, “never let a good crisis go to waste”. Yet the media is concerned with how many masks are in production and how we will produce more. Something will come out of this and most people will blindly accept it. Most people panic from media and believe all that they hear and see without questioning because they want to remain ignorant, as ignorance can be bliss. Yet, when someone calls something out to be questioned or to be reviewed, we want to silence them and maintain our ignorance. Why not just use facts and sound reasoning? Compare ratios and not numbers. But remember that even statistics can be used in spreading lies. There are people who have been virally infected but aren’t being tested or accounted for so that the ratio of deaths can be reported higher to create fear and panic.

The Sickness

First, realize that I’m not playing down the significance of the virus. I completely acknowledge that it’s highly contagious and could be significantly worse for those with pre-existing conditions but realize there are things far worse than this.

It may be that your not familiar with the toxins that are in many shots or that there are alternate theories on the origins of viruses. Some people have a valid concern for shots in general. One’s bias could be the fact that drug companies have immunity from lawsuits should a death occur as vaccines have been labeled “unavoidably unsafe”.

When sick, the symptoms that you see and feel are the bodies natural immune response to fighting a issue within the body, yet most want to take drugs to weaken or stop this natural process which has developed over thousands or millions of years. Some how people believe 100 years of medicine is more successful than the million years of evolution, yet medical issues continue to grow and profits continue to increase.

Use logic, if you believe in taking shots, get them and then there should be no reason to fear those that don’t get them. But don’t enforce your values or beliefs on others as it violates their civil rights and liberties. The argument to violate one’s rights for the good of the whole is a fallacy to strip everyone of their rights.

The Free

With things like 5G and AI, surveillance is coming. If we don’t have people that are willing to speak without being silenced, then we will never further evolve as a nation or species and your giving up the very rights our forefathers fought to keep who believed “a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing.” Don’t silence the freedom of speech or attempt to extinguish an idea or opinion that might cause us to question our system and ways. People should not be afraid to share their dreams, visions, and view points. Seek and hold on to what is good and true. If we don’t search to improve our future we could be stuck holding onto our past.

Be positive and plant seeds of wisdom and enlightenment. If you don’t like or disagree with what is being said, don’t support it, maybe ignore it, or refute it with fact based constructive criticism. Help educate others with kindness and compassion; be open and ready to listen. If you don’t know or don’t have such facts, do your research and become educated. Remember that hate or harsh words won’t change perspectives and only makes others defensive. Instead, show love, compassion, and understanding.

The Conclusion

Currently the future is unclear. Remember though that we are all one race and all are entitled to have an opinion. Our freedoms are slowly being eroded away and our futures stolen from us financially. As a people we must stand united against corruption and tyrannical policies. Let people keep their freedom of speech and allow for others to decide for themselves. Be vigilent, yet remain compassionate.
