So I never really quit anything. I am a passionate man, and am driven by them. It is good and bad. It is both something to be managed and something I accept.
Here is my latest idea: given that it seems OBVIOUS that China interfered in our election in a number of ways– from perhaps direct vote changing via connected machines, to buying off politicians and journalists, to paying Big Tech to enact censorship and manipulation–could Donald Trump use his own Executive Order to cancel all of the national debt held by China? They hold a LOT of it, perhaps $10 trillion or more. This might precipitate an economic downturn in China that could change everything.
It would of course affect the dollar too. This idea would need to be evaluated by people who know more than me. But it would be an audacious stroke.
I think everyone needs to understand Xi is not solidly in power: he is CLINGING to power. He is an horrific leader, and his people in rebellion more or less continually, or at least they were until recently. They have protests and riots and demonstrations and acts of violence that they just hush up and make disappear. When the Tibetans were setting themselves on fire in desperation, when they could think of nothing else, the Chinese solution was to put squads of soldiers on permanent stand-by to put them out and hustle them off the street within an ideal of five minutes, no matter where it happened.
Why not counter-attack? Why grant China more power than it has? It is in fact a fragile, weak nation, filled with people who loathe its government. And why not? They are ruled by hateful, loathsome crooks and psychopaths.
And while I am at it: as I have stated numerous times, American money is not real. Why not use the “Stimulus” to pay down the individual debts of American citizens and small businesses? Why not create a website where people can go as individuals to cancel up to, say, $10,000 in personal debt? Businesses under $20 million in revenue, perhaps a MILLION in debt?
All of this shit, all of this $900 “Stimulus” is, as far as I know, being created for the purpose by the Federal Reserve. This means it is a tax in the form of inflation that we have not paid yet. The inflation will not show up until money starts moving again.
And on that note, I will comment that this is a near ideal situation for the people who control our money, and who have used that control to become essentially infinitely rich. They want to buy up the world with created money that is given to them in the tens or hundreds of billions. What they have done is engineer a situation where large sums of money are being CREATED, but not CIRCULATED. This means the money supply has increased, allowing them to buy up America cheap, but the EFFECTS of that money creation have not yet appeared.
And I will say again: if and when hyperinflation appears, it is not hard to solve. What we need to do is create enough money to pay off all debts, public and private, then revalue the currency and either fix it’s quantity permanently using some form of technology–my vote–or tie it to gold, which is at least something.
All of our problems have relatively simple solutions, which amount to not allowing psychopaths to create unnecessary problems in the first place, and then prevent their solution.
