“There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.” – Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Think you’ve had a great morning? Every day Joe wakes up and someone gets to explain to him that he’s the president.
Peter Grant over at Bayou Renaissance Man (LINK – if you’re not going there regularly, you’re missing out!) mentioned a quote from Monday’s post (The Winds Of War?):
The idea is simple – warfare encompasses absolutely every facet of the life of the enemy. Destabilize the government. Force their economy into chaos. Starve them. Own their communications systems. In other words, it’s just like a Biden presidency.
When I write these posts, there are generally multiple edits. First, I do a draft. Then I go through and edit that. Then I go through and use hammer, tongs, spackle and a welder to fill the post with jokes. The last bit I do is to go to work in the meme forge and sweat and pound and make (mostly) new and original memes.
If your only tool is a meme, every problem looks like a grumpy cat.
In this case, I wrote the Biden line in the first edit. I was trying to be a bit cheeky, but it just fit so well. When Mr. Grant noticed that line . . . I thought about it even more.
What happens when your government is making war on you?
Seriously – if a foreign government would try to:
- destabilize our currency (not money, currency) through massively printing it,
- produce and disseminate propaganda to further polarize the citizens,
- import millions of people with no ties to the country and no understanding of its governmental systems,
- work through an admitted conspiracy encompassing virtually all media(traditional and social as well as search engines), corporations, state and to make sure the vote produced the “correct” winner,
- make yet more Marvel movies,
- effectively purge from the military all senior officers who don’t follow the correct ideology, and
- create a culture of dependency on government programs,
we would say that was an act of war, or a copy of the secret Disney® business plan.
Sure, Donald Duck can walk around Disneyland© without pants and he’s beloved. I do it, and I’m “banned for life.”
From an economic standpoint, one goal appears to be: destroy the middle class and destroy small independent business owners.
Why?
Large businesses can be easily converged into following the Narrative with little actual damage in most cases. Need examples?
- Gillette® attacks traditional masculinity. It’s still in business. It doesn’t want my business, and doesn’t care. It’s doing fine financially.
- Coke™ reportedly provided access to training that told employees to “be less white” and its stock is up about 20% since that came out, despite my personal boycott.
That’s two. There are countless others. If you look at the major companies that financially support the radical Marxist organization Black Lives Matter©, they are overflowing with cash. They are free to take whatever political positions they want, as long as those positions are Leftist. Just ask Ben & Jerry’s®, which is a Leftist political organization masquerading as an ice cream company. I guess communists have finally fed someone.
I met a French guy – what a coward. He kept asking for “mercy” . . .
Big Businesses love Big Government. They love the huge shield that regulations bring – the more regulations, the fewer competitors they face. And, if you’re lucky like me, OSHA names a new safety regulation after you.
Big Businesses also don’t care what consumers think, because most consumers are mad for a week or a month and then forget. Me? I haven’t bought Levi® jeans since 2002 or so when they went full anti-Second Amendment. I guess I’m stubborn. Must be in my jeans.
Big Business also doesn’t really care about inflation. So what if a dollar is worth less? Their job isn’t to sit on piles of cash, their job is to create cash flowing through the business, while keeping some of the cash for themselves. Because the cash is flowing through, it doesn’t matter much if that cash is becoming less valuable every day, they’ll just make more cash and use it immediately to buy more raw materials.
Hunter wanted to be the Secretary of Energy until he found out it wasn’t pipes and lines.
Destabilization of the economy through inflation, though, is good if you want to create more government power. Another way to create more power is to make sure people are polarized. That means that they can’t come together to demand freedom.
Increasing poverty is a good one, too. Having people become poor makes them slaves to the government, and afraid to speak up at injustice. Microsoft® may choose to support Black Lives Matter™, but individuals can be fired for criticizing it on their own time even when not connecting that criticism to their employer.
Is it government suppression of speech? No, why would they bother when private businesses will do it for them. The effect, though, is the same.
At least he’s not French Vanilla Ice.
Is it too far to call it warfare against the Right? It’s more than that – it’s a war against every aspect of American culture and the basis of what made that great – Western Civilization. The statues are coming down not because the Left hates slavery or “colonialism”, the statues are coming down because they want to erase the history of America so that they can rewrite it to fit.
Looking into what that means to wealth for individuals, let’s extrapolate what we know:
The United States government for over 100 years had gold and silver as money for a very special reason – gold and silver meant stability for the money of a country. You either have gold or you don’t. You can’t print more. Could you manipulate it? Sure, but it was certainly harder than running a printing press.
When FDR (press S to spit) took from American citizens the right to own gold, he was effectively robbing them. He bought gold from them at $20.67. A year later, he revalued the dollar to $35 dollars to the ounce of gold. It now took $1.69 to buy what a dollar did before Roosevelt’s heist.
“For example, the free circulation of gold coins is unnecessary, leads to hoarding, and tends to a possible weakening of national financial structures in times of emergency,” was what that philandering monster said to excuse the theft. Me? After I read that, I was glad he was in a wheelchair.
Fun fact: he never ran for office.
But the pattern is there: if the Left wants something you have, they will take it. Will they confiscate gold in the future? I don’t know. I tend to think not, unless it’s just for spite. In this case, they’ll inflate the currency, and lend freely to Big Businesses and Big Banks so that they can acquire houses and land and every asset with cheap, borrowed dollars. Why steal the gold when they can make people so impoverished that they sell it?
After the elite have bought all the stuff they want?
Inflate again if they missed something. Will they lose control and end up in hyperinflation?
Probably not, unless they want to. But realize that almost every person reading this doesn’t have a seat at the table, and the game is certainly rigged. We knew that.
But what happens when a government declares economic war against its own people?
What is missed by most normiecons and normielibs: Big Government and Big Business are two sides of the same coin. One doesn’t win and the other loses, they both always win and we always lose. They both hate us and want us weak and dependent. If food stamps disappeared, Wal-Mart would be the biggest loser so it is in their interest to have lots of poor people, including their employees, and if that means packing the country with mestizo consumers, so be it.
We have no allies in the halls of power.
Well put. No allies at all. Good thing we like a tough problem . . .
Great article, John. The main reason the government declares economic war on its people is of course to inflate its debt away. The desired 2% of inflation that was the goal (!?!) of the Fed for so long isn’t gonna be nearly enough.

This latest raising of the debt ceiling is specifically designed to kick the can down the road past the 2022 elections, only a year from now. So with this new Congressional action, over the coming year we are locking in to sell bonds / print NEW cash (most likely the latter) at $2.5 trillion per year = $7 billion PER DAY.
Note this covers ONLY the 2022 budget DEFICIT and does NOT include the additional “rollover” of maturing treasuries to cover the 1776-2021 DEBT, which have to be paid off by the issuance of new debt to replace them on a one-per-one basis.
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0452
The rollovers vary by quarter in the $500 billion to $1 trillion range, so another $5 billion to $10 trillion per day over a 90 day period. So the daily cost to accumulate THE COMING YEAR’S DEFICIT just approved Congress is in the same ballpark as the daily Treasury ROLLOVER TO SUSTAIN ALL PREVIOUS DEBT, a total of $12-17 billion total PER DAY that’s either gotta come from foreign investors OR a printing press at the Fed. Currently, the latter – read between the lines and crunch the numbers, foreigners are buying less than $2 billion per day in US Treasuries. This is a DISASTROUSLY low rate or foreign purchase, disguised in the “propaganda” by saying “look, look, their total is higher than ever!”
https://www.reuters.com/business/us-treasuries-foreign-ownership-june-hit-highest-since-february-2020-data-2021-08-16/
None of this is good. The days of exporting our inflation to foreign investors is over, and we currently gotta print on the order of $10-$15 billion PER DAY just to pull a Red Queen maneuver and “stay in place”.
Time to inflate harder.
Ack! “The rollovers vary by quarter in the $500 billion to $1 trillion range, so another $5 billion to $10 BILLION per day over a 90 day period.”
Yup. But I think they’ll succeed at limiting it. But inflation won’t end until the dollar does.
“…arrange and design shrubberies…”
Perhaps The Knights of Ne can come to our rescue.
To summarize wht’s going on today, consider this line from “Rancho Deluxe” – “Son, all large scale crime is ALWAYS an inside job.” – Slim Pickens to Harry Dean Stanton
Such a great quote!
That disney meme is one of the best I have seen, bravo.
“Gillette® attacks traditional masculinity. It’s still in business. It doesn’t want my business, and doesn’t care. It’s doing fine financially.
Coke™ reportedly provided access to training that told employees to “be less white” and its stock is up about 20% since that came out, despite my personal boycott”.
I have only two ideas but they are hard to achieve just like putting gillette and coke out of business. Coke because Warren Buffet is a globalist greedy piece of shit. He wants more taxes on the rich, well write a check asshole.
First if a few or several million would cut the cord the msm would be in an extreme panic. Second but a long shot but lots of chaos write in Thomas Massie from Kentucky as president in 2024, It may slow the counting and catch them with their pants down.
He is the ONLY one who will speak his mind publicly and fight the good fight. His Christmas card went viral and was awesome. MIT grad so he is not stupid.
ps When the jobs are lost during the crash there will be many with nothing left to lose.
People died of starvation in the Great Depression, with long term malnutrition effects to some born in that era. No one rose up.
10-15 million died of starvation in the Holodomor, with widespread cannibalism even of their own children. No one rose up.
There is no magic button where suddenly a bunch of individuals all decide to form an organization and begin marching on the capital and win. People need to get organized before-hand. We need several flyover states to have pro-freedom governors willing to raise a legal private army like Desantis is, and tell the feds to F off. There are no other realistic options I see that don’t rely on the government conveniently collapsing in a timely manner. Which isn’t going to happen, as this is all going according to plan.
Haven’t heard of Massie . . . will give him a look.
Unimportant note. I quit buying Levis®️ when they removed the 50/50 blend. Except for underwear, I like my clothes to be rugged.
Gotcha. I don’t really miss them, which is good because I hold a grudge.
John:

BCE, noted an posted atop the next post. Thanks for spreading the word!
The third way or crony capitalism with all the central planning control freak tendencies of communism and a biomedical police state on top.
It is all planned as part of the Long March this not so Great Reset Leap Forward.
They have put the pedal to the metal for some reason and Crüella Pantsuit (Hillary) did say that they must move quickly before the smoke and mirrors of delusion evaporate.
O/T-doing a search for Covidiocracy and some Wilder memes came up!
The what diet always works known as communism with empty shelves and the Nick Cage meteor for a much needed laugh and morale boost.
Thank you for Jedi Supreme memes Sir, well played.
Yup, and Hillary wants back in. 2024?
I figure I make 1,000 or so memes a year, times three or four years . . . they add up. It cracks me up when I do a search and see one of mine . . .
Of Course, “the mess is all Planned”. Read all about it, in the ‘communist manifesto’ and the ‘zionist protocols’. Look into ‘cultural marxism’ and the ‘frankfurt school’. Listen to what the (((parasites))) like Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, and Anthony Fauci have to say about “Depopulation” and “White Genocide”. All are Complicit in the Genocidal Biowarfare that is the “vaccine” for a mild Disease that they created in a Biowar Laboratory.
Don’t try to Avoid the Truth (and your impending Impoverishment and death) by listening to (((those))) who say it’s “Conspiracy Theory” or “White Supremacist” rantings. Freedom in America, and the Entire World is targeted by the (((parasites))) for their Benefit.
Only Severe, Sustained, Merciless, Beautiful and Brutal VIOLENCE is going to save Civilization from the Dystopian Tyranny that the satanic, anti-life, anti-freedom, anti-white judeo-communist wannabe ‘overlords are working towards.
Conspiracy Theory in 2021 is “plot spoiler.”
John, I have no doubt that Our Political And Social Betters (OAPSB) are doing everything they can to advance their cause – if the economy is ruined, not their issue. At the same time, I wonder if part of this effective “economic mismanagement” is due to the fact that people who cannot manage their own income somehow believe in theories that have no basis in reality. More than one company has been sunk by individuals that made extraordinarily bad choices.
The odd thing to me is – even for those that are pushing for the extirpation of Western Civilization and its philosophies, thoughts, and values – is that they give little thought to what will replace it. History is pretty suggestive in terms of what happens when power becomes the only law and any means to maintain that power is acceptable. I fear many of these people that glory in today’s Great Remaking are only marching to their doom.
A great point! Where do we go next? Because what led us here didn’t work . . .
