The Deadliest Government Illusion

The Deadliest Government Illusion

By ZeroHedge - Breaking Point - 17 October, 2024

Everything the government tells you is a lie. They are lies that are designed to destroy you. That’s not a flaw. That’s a feature. The winners are elites who’ve bought and paid for the manipulations.

Remember these whoppers? (If you believed them, you came to regret it deeply.)

  • This vaccine is safe and effective
  • Fannie Mae is well-capitalized
  • Iraq has weapons of mass destruction
  • Fluoride is safe

Of course, this is only a tiny sample of the lies they’ve told.

And the most important lie they are telling right now is about our economy.

It’s a lie that virtually every American believes. And, as a result, virtually every American is about to lose 50% to 75% of their wealth – or more.

Here’s the lie. Does this sound familiar?

  • “Inflation is contained”
  • “Inflation is transitory
  • Inflation was caused by COVID supply disruptions

None of that is true. 

And neither is the magic of continued job growth: The reality is that by creating the largest wave of immigration in U.S. history and by expanding the government’s employment rolls to new record levels (785,000 new government jobs in September!), the government is creating the illusion of a strong economy.

The lie of America’s economic growth is being fueled by the largest accumulation of debt in the history of the world: America is adding $1 trillion to its government debt every 100 days.

Our government’s spending and its manipulation of our economy is completely out of control. As soon as this election is over, these incredible excesses will set off a hyper-inflationary spiral that will see Americans’ savings and purchasing power decline by another 50% to 70% almost overnight.

What we see in America today is a country on the cusp of a major collapse in our standard of living. By real-world measures, America is becoming a third-world country. Life expectancy in the U.S. has fallen two years in a row, for the first time ever. Infant mortality is up 60% (!) since 2020. And electricity consumption per capita (which is the best real-world measure of a country’s wealth) has fallen virtually every year since 1980.

In real terms, our country has been getting poorer for decades. All our economy’s gains to productivity are constantly inflated away by the government’s phony money.

You believe you’re working for money. But you’re not. You’re holding an illusion.

How can you protect yourself… your family… and your assets? 

A start: Watch this interview with Heritage Foundation economist Peter St Onge. We can’t stop America’s destruction, but we can make people aware of what’s happening – and show them how to protect themselves, and even profit from what’s coming. 

And as you’ll see, there’s never been more urgency to this because on November 5, the moment the polls close, the next phase of the crisis could begin. 

Everything is explained in this interview with the brilliant Peter St Onge.
