A million seconds is ~12 days.
1 Billion seconds = 32 Years.
1 Trillion seconds = ~31,600 years.

National debt $31 Trillion.

If you paid a dollar a second, it would take you 979,600 years.

Or if every American agreed to pay, we'd each have to stroke a check for ~$240,000
🧵
(this math was done when the debt was $14 Trillion Image
Image
The Interest payments ***ALONE*** on our $31 trillion in US debt exceeds what we spend on the Defense Department. Image
Stanley Druckenmiller (famous investor) on CNBC. "The intrest payments on the debt alone wil consume everything."
Here's what the media says: Image
Here's what Nobel Prize winning Economist Milton Friedman says:
Here's what pundits and propagandists say.

(This one in particular is heir to a banking dynasty so he know better...or something) Image
What politicans said: Image
Here's what politicians and media said in unison Image
More of what the media said Image
Image
Image
Well we dont know who to trust here....so what are companies and bankers doing and saying?

Smart guys like head of Goldman and JP Morgan...what is their take on things?

oh. Image
Image
Maybe we misheard the politicians....let's check back in.
Wait a minute:
"if governments can just print money, why are we paying taxes?" 🤔🤔🤔 Image
Why does inflation exist anyway?

oh. Image
Ok ok .....So how much inflation we talking exactly, is it *REALLY* that bad?

Let's check the purchasing power of $100 over time. Image
Ok, that can't be right, let's check another source...
The power of dollar over time (infographic) Image
With our personal finances, and with common sense, everyone knows you cant spend your way our of being in debt. You have to cut expenses. Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and Keynesian economics tells bureaucrats that this is wrong and that you CAN spend your way out of debt. Image
"You can't Keynesian stimulate your way out of Cost-Push Inflation"

-- P. NAVARRO
So how bad could it get exactly?

In Oct2022 Charlie Munger (Warren Buffet's long-time investing partner) said exactly what others have been saying since late mid 2021. "The troubles that come to us could be worse than what Volker was dealing with."

So if smart people know this why are they doing this and not reversing course? 🤷🏾

We can't know their motivations but maybe we can look at what they did in past crises:

In 2008, 4 of 7 Federal Reserve Bank seats departed just weeks before markets started imploding.
We are in competent hands. Jerome Powell at the Fed and that loveable apsy gnome Janet Yellen at Treasury.... What's she been saying lately?

Oh here's something from 21March and then the very next day.

oh.
Image
Image
Ok so maybe they're just busy and overwhelmed... how bad could it be? Maybe smart hedgefund guys like Ray Dalio (creator of the largest hedgefund in the world) knows....What has he written recently?

ah crap Image
is there anything to substantiate Dalio?

ugh Image
If things were really not good, the media and politicians wouldnt outright lie. There would be some kinda indication they were obviously wrong. Image
Is the Fed *really* to blame for this stuff? Oh sweet Milton Friedman has a talk on it called "Policy Blunders of the Federal Reserve" here is a segment.
(Recorded at University of San Diego & San Diego Chamber of Commerce ©1978 full talk here: )
Ok but what about my homie Thomas Sowell on the Federal Reserve?

ok, well damn.
Ok, well what about "maestro" Alan Greenspan. He was the Federal Reserve Chairman himself...so he might offer a balanced opinion

ok damn Image
Well this dude says there is infinite cash at the Fed and not to worry..... Thats what I wanted to hear.

*phew*

It's spooky how much what's happening right now PERFECTLY mirrors what happened back then.

The "hidden history" behind the "official history" makes the similarities even more obvious. (1/4) Image
The lawfare, the civil unrest, the fake protests, the media misdirection, the coverups, even EXACT words of politicians themselves.

Back then, something was pushed ENTIRELY by a secretive group of elites but they masqueraded it as "public opinion" and 'democracy'. (2/4) Image
Only now, looking back, do we see the grand plot of power politics. the parapolitical drama. the revolution.

Nesta Webster wrote about the French Revolution. The similarities to present-day will blow your mind. Even if you only read the prologue. (3/4)

What was previously "conspiracy theory" in books (like "Boys From Brazil" and "Boreman Brotherhood"), was all quietly validated in recent months via declassifications.

Hitler survived WW2. Guys like Mengele died decades later on beaches of South America. We were warned tho 🧵👇 Image
The Mengele stuff was already pretty public. People just dismissed it (2/7)
Even hints about the size of the deception itself were always right in front of us. We just had to ask and go looking

We were warned about the U.N. and the State department. Image
Regarding the State Department:

He goes on to expose (using their OWN words) the hidden-in-plain-sight plan for the State Department to transition to "World Governance".

There it is again! "Psychological Warfare" rears its head again. Specifically, how it's used against the general population

FUN FACT: The British ran a secret intel office out of Manhattan to propagandize Americans into joining WW2. Where? Rockefeller Plaza aka "30 rock" aka NBC

The "C" in "CBS" (Columbia) comes from "Washington D.C." They made dictaphones for Congress (src: x.com/s7ephen/status…) x.com/s7ephen/status…Image
This pattern repeats A LOT

The natural inclination is to think these companies formed organically and were later "infiltrated" BUT

what if they are founded, incubated, & stoked to serve one purpose: Projection of State Power (think: Dutch East India Co)
Re: "Room 3306" and British Propaganda in the U.S. during WW2:

NOTE: By WW2 the Bank of England & British War Cabinet was indebted to one Family who'd outsmarted them with a brilliant stock bet documented in this 1934 film and Niall Ferguson's books

I wonder if Ms Easterly of CISA (formerly Army Psychological Warfare at Ft. Meade) knows Emily Rainey the Army Psyops officer from 6Jan

How does the Army Psyops promo song go? "grippin at my skin, the walls [are] closin in...around meeeeee" 🤣

Technocracy is just rebranded Communism. Communism is just rebranded Feudalism.
The global "Royals" want to make Feudalism great again.

IMHO, we've been living thru their latest push to implement it globally. Canada makes a great case-study. 👇 (1/3)

Ukraine is also another case-study in this same global revolution.

In this thread (👇) I show how Ukraine is a long-running Brzezinski-planned strategy to foment GLOBAL revolution under the guise of bolstering the U.S. by toppling Russia. (2/3)
Covid was the "starter pistol" fired by the World's largest Technocracy (the CCP in China) It signaled to their functionaries around the World to pull off their decades-old masks and make the FINAL push to world governance. (3/3)
