I have two Youtube videos to share that, while equally serious and departing from more or less the same starting points, arrive at different conclusions.Thanks for reading Meaning In History!
We're old and we're not rich, but we don't have a mortgage, a home equity line or a car loan. We pay off our credit cards every month. We wear old clothes. As Mark may remember I, too, have a reel mower and mow my own lawn in the summer. We shovel the snow from our driveway ourselves in the winter. My iPhone is 9 years old. We don't have any health insurance payments other than the Medicare premium deducted from our Social Security. We have no chronic illnesses, recurring doctor's bills or drug expense. Our main recreation is pretty inexpensive: walking. We're retired and too old to fight or get drafted. Even our adult kids are now too old. We live frugally on less per month than our SSI checks in a small town in a mid-continent Red state with low taxes and a low cost of living. If SSI is reduced we'll tighten our belts. If SSI disappears we'll tighten more and dig into savings. Our savings are well-diversified, but not immune from a stock market crash. After that?
I'm one of the lucky ones (We worked hard for nearly 50 years...)
Credit Suisse was highly aggressive in freezing Russian assets and applying sanctions. Then China aligned with Russia. China is Saudi Arabia's biggest customer. Then Saudi Arabia refused to bail-out Credit Suisse. Now CS is de facto nationalized. See how it all works?
Amazing how quickly they declassified the MQ-9's MTS-B sensor footage of the Su-27 collision but we still haven't even gotten a single still frame of the 3 objects NORAD shot down over North America during the great balloon hunt.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Admits Joe Biden’s Inflation Crisis is Linked to the Banking Crisis (TGP)
So Yellen says today that Powell has to address inflation. Guess what? That's what he's been doing. Don't expect rates to go down. TL is saying Powell got 90% of what he wanted in this deal.
France is on fire. Mass riots in response to Macron overriding the legislature. Started in response to raising the retirement age and morphed into passing laws without citizen opinion. twitter
"The same kinds of scenes were replayed in cities all over the country. Storefronts were smashed and banks were attacked. A vote of no confidence in Macron is being proposed in the Parliament.
That was only the beginning of the response. It is building and intensifying.
Refineries have gone on strike all around the country. Labor unions are calling for a general nationwide strike. Train stations have been shut down by demonstrators and train tracks blocked."
In Sweden I think, after an anti immigrant group / party gained more votes, the other parties united to freeze them out of power.
Another typical tactic is tar any opposition as racist, fascists, nazi’s etc. Add in a false flag / plant with the security services infiltrating the group, and it’s been very successful. Hmm, what a coincidence- same thing happened in Europe, Brazil, Canada, and the US? Latest boogie man is Russia!
I'll take the rapture, Steve, but unlike most, I believe it comes immediately before our Lord sets His feet on the Mount of Olives and it splits in two. Hard to see Him letting all these believers be martyred and deeply persecuted for two millennia (and they are still even today), but then He suddenly respects us and pulls us out early. God tells us He is no respecter of persons. But however it is, all of us believers will know when that glorious and terrible day comes.
We woke up, lots of us, and decided to go back to sleep. Wake me up when we hit the iceberg, so I can see if there's room in the lifeboats. It has a very high probability of becoming far, far worse than anything we saw in the 1930s. "Remember, large numbers of people in Washington, in the defense industries, in the political structures--they're all making lots of money." Not me. I can survive on very little, and I haven't got much to lose. Shouldn't they be more careful with their money?
I'm talking about the money they already extracted out of the system and the 'big guy', Pelosi and all the others running the show have in their private accounts. Government money they also spend as if it is their own, but it doesn't even exist. Modern Monetary Theory: the more you owe the richer you are. When the economy tanks...
Dissent is not allowed in wartime.
Uh Jane Fonda and most every other rabid hippy lib in the 1960s?

Why don't I feel very good about the future?
New post offers some hope.
Interesting breaks in the wall / narrative:
1. 67% Majority believes Covid came from a lab.

2. Majority believe the gop and Dems worked together to defeat Trump.
Rasmussen:
How likely is it that Republican politicians in DC worked secretly with Democrats to keep Trump from being reelected in 2020?
55% – of all voters agree it is likely.
67% – Republicans
51% – Democrats

Ahhh, Forbes, and I’m sure it was just an oversight, you left off two zeros. I in 50,000, yeh, there that’s better:-)
Or to put it in the vernacular: no way in hell this gets covered by any network news.

The collective West is spinning out of control, or rather--out of the control of the Woke establishment:

I hope the vote has an impact.

What will happen when the uncomfortable slavery kicks in?
