The Big Business powers-that-be in the United States – that actually run the United States? Have spent the last century-plus instilling and institutionalizing illnesses of all sorts.
Not to sell cures. Because cures end the remedy purchases. They want everyone and everything to be perpetually sick. Chronic illnesses mean perpetual payments.
I speak of “illnesses” both literal and metaphorical.
Literal
The titanic Covid lie finally began to awaken people to the fact that the entire US “heath care” system is utterly corrupt.
How did we get here? The original sin appears to be 1910’s Flexner Report. Which robber baron John D Rockefeller commissioned as his plan to seize control of the entire US medical system.
Spoiler alert: He did. He took over the medical schools – and with it medical research. (Sound familiar, undergrad college fans?)
Now medical schools teach to the Flexner test:
Reject holistic care. Specialize in specific parts of the human – as if we are all detachable-part Mr Potato Heads. And write LOTS of prescriptions as a first (and only) response to everything.
Rather than teach medical professionals to, you know, make and keep us well.
Why? Money, natch:
“Rockefeller’s strategy was clear: focus on pharmaceutical-based treatments rather than natural or holistic approaches.
“This focus aligned with his business interests, particularly in the chemical industry, which provided the raw materials for many of the drugs being developed.
“By promoting a pharmaceutical-centered approach to medicine, Rockefeller helped create a market for chemical-based treatments, establishing a system in which drugs, rather than preventive or holistic care, became the primary method of addressing health issues.”
Obviously, this is a recipe for chronic disaster. If you get better? You stop seeing doctors and buying drugs. So perpetual treatment has become the name of the game.
A century-plus later? Our entire medical system is polluted – beyond recognition as a medical system.
And when someone tries to do something, you know, actually healthy and healing for us? Big Medicine gets governments to attack.
Attack the symptom (unsanctioned natural and effective health care) – to save the disease (fake, sanctioned, perpetual “health care”). Because the system is making trillions on the disease.
NO ONE involved in the worldwide Covid lie has been arrested. But raw milk sellers get arrested all the time.
Etc, etc, etc….
The Rockefeller-polluted American Medical Association (AMA) is a HUGE problem.
To wit: The AMA is perpetually blocking chiropractors from wider system access and acceptance. Because why periodically have corrective spinal adjustments – when you can instead have major, debilitating surgery?
In April 2021 the AMA said this:
“The American Medical Association (AMA) today urged governors to oppose state legislation that would prohibit medically necessary gender transition-related care for minor patients, calling such efforts ‘a dangerous intrusion into the practice of medicine.’”
Because that’s just good medicine.
And in November 2020 the AMA said this:
“(T)he AMA has taken action to explicitly recognize racism as a public health threat….”
Because that’s just good medicine.
Etc, etc, etc….
Metaphorical
As we discussed a fortnight ago, the US has spent the last century-plus eviscerating the value of its money. And has rapidly accelerated the destruction in the last half century-plus. Just since 1971 – when we went off gold – the dollar has lost 87% of its value.
But because the US economy is so huge? And because we have spent the last half-century-plus sending business and jobs out of the US to the rest of the planet? We have successfully bullied and bribed everyone into continuing to use the US dollar as the global currency.
But these people aren’t stupid. They can do math. They know what a US dollar is actually worth. And they know the US is 37+ trillion of them in debt. And rather than doing anything about it? The US is actually expanding its $2+ trillion annual deficits.
So the planet’s peoples are starting to talk seriously about stopping their use of the US dollar.
BRICS-Plus has been thinking about it for a while.
And Burkina Faso’s President Ibrahim Traoré is the latest African leader talking about a pan-African currency…backed by gold. (Uh oh.) As a part of a vision to unify the continent to better enable its nations to prosper:
“From the era of Kwame Nkrumah to the tragic fall of Thomas Sankara, Africa’s struggle for authentic sovereignty has always hinged on the rise of visionary leadership – figures who dared to defy the status quo. In an age of global disillusionment, 36-year-old Captain Ibrahim Traoré has ignited fresh hope. Rising from the embattled Sahel in 2022, he speaks a language long missing from African politics: dignity, self-determination, and Pan-Africanism.”
You know who else spoke of a pan-African currency backed by gold? Muammar Qaddafi. Right before he…died.
President Donald Trump’s response to these countries that can do math – and have said so publicly? Attack the symptoms (real money) – to save the disease (the US’s fake money).
Trump Threatens 100% Tariff on BRICS Countries If They Pursue Creating New Currency
I’m hoping Burkina Faso’s Traore gets the BRICS treatment – as opposed to the Qaddafi treatment.
Speaking of money….
The Globalist, multinational Big Banks have swallowed whole their giant portion of the US economy. And thanks to their corrupt collusion with Big Government? Their giant portion keeps getting bigger and bigger.
The US’s governments aren’t the only ones in inconceivable debt. We the People are drowning too.
$18.2 trillion in total household debt. Included therein is $1.21 trillion in credit card debt – at an ABSURD, predatory average interest rate of 25.27%.
And those households? Are carrying mortgage debt totaling another $20.83 trillion. At an average 30-year rate of 6.89%.
And the Big Banks are loving ALL of it. Because they’re the ones collecting all that ABSURD, predatory interest cash.
Running out of options, We the Indebted sometimes turn to short-term lenders to make ends meet.
The traditional “payday lenders” have been around for a while. Because the US economy has been broke-and-broken-and-Big-Bank-dominated for a while.
And then the Big Banks get the government to attack the symptom – to save their disease.
DC Destroys the Economy – Then Bans Loans for Poor People:
“Congress is looking to price cap what are called ‘payday loans.’…“‘Payday loans’ are so named – because poor people take the loans when they run out of cash prior to payday. Like, say, when their car breaks down – and they need to get the car running…to get to work to get paid on payday.”
Why Is ‘Too Big to Fail’ DC – Mega-Targeting Tiny Short-Term Lenders?:
“What has the (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) CFPB been doing – over and over and over again – instead of looking at the Big Banks for which the CFPB was created?…(T)ormenting teeny, tiny short-term lenders. All of whom in the US combined – don’t have but a teeny, tiny fraction of the Market Cap of any one of the Big Banks.”
There are some newer tiny lenders on the scene. The “Buy Now – Pay Later” (BNPL) loan movement has arisen alongside “payday lenders” – especially amongst those 30 years of age and younger. It’s particularly popular – and enticing – because most lenders charge zero interest.
We looked in March at WalMart’s use of BNPL lenders. But it’s WAY huger than just huge WalMart.
And, of course, BNPL is just another symptom of the disease that is the US’s broke-and-broken-Big-Bank-dominated economy.
We the Indebted await the Big Banks demanding DC give BNPL lenders the “payday lenders” treatment.
Because you know it’s coming.
Because DC has to attack the symptoms – to save the diseases.
