I have a question. Do you honestly think that the US government, or those posing to be such, is salvageable? I mean the depth of the infiltration and corruption seem impossible to overcome by any other means except for complete dismantling. Then burn and bury, just to make sure it doesn't come back to life. Trump's picks are hardly lending confidence that anything will change for the better. I do not pretend to know the interworkings of government or finance. But my gut tells me that with both of those, we neither have the ability nor are they worth saving. I'm not trying to be negative, just seems logical. What are your thoughts?

Peace, love, freedom and a lovely Thanksgiving to you and your family!

It’s the boomer generation. Most selfish, spoiled generation in history. Raised hell in the 60s, then got into power and took us right to the brink, all while bulking up their 401ks, electing corrupt officials, turning a blind eye to unethical corporate profiteering in the ONE area that is absolutely off limits: Our health. Healthcare costs make up the biggest spending component by far, and what results did our “leaders” deliver? Half the kids are pre diabetic and chronic diseases & cancer are skyrocketing among young adults. They poisoned us. Literally. We give babies 72 vaccines, including preposterous jabs like vax for Hepatitis B (only contracted by sharing needles and sex, two things babies didn’t do). Why? Because it’s all part and parcel of maintaining a system that benefits the people who built it. You will see this becoming more and more recognized as the collective conscious can process all of this shit. History books will not have a kind word for anyone who’s over 60 right now, I’ll bet my bottom dollar on that.

History books have little or no truth in them. When they are written again, you can bet your bottom dollar it will most likely be the same. Just a thought.

That all changed a few weeks ago. We now have access to news and information that wasn’t available 10 even 5 years ago. The mainstream media is dead. MSNBC has literally 50,000 young adult viewers now. Independent / non traditional media sources, combined with real-time information synthesized by AI (the only source of which, and the only LLM with access to it, is X (Twitter) and xAI — owned by you-know-who). The days of obfuscation, false narratives, half-truths, and outright lies, are ending. That is what just happened. It just hasn’t sank in yet. But it will. And god help the people who’re about to be exposed in the next 12 months.

OK - we get that you hate people older than you, but pull your head out; its not the 'generation', its (((who))) was handed all the power and money by those before.

And if your 'generation' is so bleedin smart and wonderful, then go ahead on and fix it...

And by the way, they were “handed” a country, an economy, a military and a government, all of which were won through hardship and grit, by their parents, who battled through the Great Depression and World War 2, and earned the Super Power they created. Nothing has ripped harder than post WWII USA. It all started falling apart in the 1960s. You know, when democrats were still pushing hard for segregation (that is, the party of “tolerance” wanted racism to prevail), the sexual revolution armed Feminism with the tools to castrate masculinity, and the decade that began with “ask not what your country can do for you” ended with spoiled brats creating a system that benefitted them and only then — social security (funny how this problem went away, when boomers started retiring, right?), national debt, promising poor, uneducated black folks help that never comes in any major city (literally all of which are Democrat run), M&A that turned a blind eye to ethical considerations like poisoning US children, insanity-level regulations, and fighting tooth and nail to prevent what just happened a few weeks ago: A mandate to tear it down. But again: Please tell me who has collective accountability for the incomprehensible mess we are cleaning up while you go to your graves?

I'm my humble opinion, everything "went to hell", after the Fed, and the Flexner report. The invention of viruses and mass psy-ops that have followed. Giving an excellent way to induce fear, which is still in full use. Using humanities biggest weakness. The inability to think rationally while in a state of fear. Not to mention the constant insideous poisoning to the population, to not only shorten our life span, but to dumb down the entire population. Using Fluoride,(via the water supply. Bathing and ingestion for generations) lead, (via gasoline and paint), to name only a few. You have to admit, the 60's generation, or any others, have stood little chance.

I’m sorry but who should take responsibility for causing and exacerbating a corrupt and broken system which was taking us off a cliff, both economically and socially? There is such a thing as COLLECTIVE ACCOUNTABILITY. So who should own it, if not the people who’ve been in charge, and those who’ve put them in office? Almost every major problem in this country is a 1st, 2nd or 3rd order consequence of the 1960s / early 70s. Please tell me who else is responsible if it isn’t the generation that’s been in office / running corporations for the last 50 years? Please I want you to tell me. Who is collectively responsible? And before you say “collective action isn’t a thing” keep in mind that WE JUST SAW IT HAPPEN thanks to 18-29 year old kids who saw the despicable mess and reprehensible greed that we now have to clean up. Please, tell me who else is responsible in this republic? GOOD LUCK.

The population will be made to hurt and beg the government for some kind of relief. They will answer we can implement CBDC. First, we create the antidote, then create the poison.

I have the same sneaking suspicion. This has happened so many times throughout history—create the problem first, then offer the "solution" that benefits those in power. And, of course, the public will probably go along with it without realizing that the same people who caused the problem in the first place are now offering the antidote.

The Fed is cutting rates, yes… but they are also draining their balance sheet every week. This week they drained another $39.5 billion, last week was $21.5 billion. Over the past 2 years… $2 trillion has been drained… pretty soon something is gonna pop.

Good point, Ryan. Something potentially to write about too.

Yes, the richest and smartest guy I know keeps mentioning how the FED is handling their balance sheet and the pace at which they are shrinking it. He bought Bitcoin in the $300s, gold at $260 and silver in the $6 range… but he keeps saying that all the FED does is create and then POP bubbles…

It is time for someone with the power of a Musk to get the American taxpayer to understand that their elected representatives have "Stolen $36 trillion from them, and they have to pay it back"! There is no hiding from it, and it must be done now. But who has the knowledge, understanding, and balls to do it? We need a loud and public reckoning on what it is, how it happened, why it happened, our options, and what to expect from each option. Then, could we decide how we want it done? That will take an honest and forthright statesman and leader. Any suggestions?

Well, Musk has certainly been doing his part, especially as of late. Looking back, that’s probably exactly why he ended up buying Twitter and transforming it into what X is now—avoiding censorship for his views. He would have been kicked off, just like Trump was, under the previous management.
