What Is Propaganda? Am I A Product Of These Forces?

Image
Dinner with family can be a wonderful thing—not just for the company, but for the wildly differing views and spectrum of thought that come together around a table. Hopefully not as unhinged as my own, but nonetheless a useful experience to expose yourself to. For posterity and context, going forward we’ll define propaganda as: "Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature (but not necessarily), used to promote a political cause or point of view." The term woke falls under this umbrella. Soros , Rothschilds , BLM , Antifa , COVID , the banks , transgender issues —these are all words or phrases that strike a conditioned narrative in your mind. This is propaganda. Each one has been cultivated by various media outlets to deliver a political message you can instantly identify with. Whether your reaction is positive or negative, the result is the same. If you watch too much Sky News , you may be tempted to think woke is bad—a pejorative, selectively and proudl...

The Economy is Trump’s Piggy Bank

Image
OPINION We have just seen a rebound an hour ago following Trump’s pausing of the tariffs for 90 days.  Today is the day that the tariffs were meant to go into effect . This article is conjecture so take this with a grain of salt, but what we are seeing from where I’m standing is corruption on a level we’ve never seen before in the free world.  Keeping in mind that the president is the face of the deep state, here’s how Trump specifically appears to be taking advantage of his position in the current moment: The administration cause market panic and crash the stock with announcements of blanket tariffs for select nations on Liberation Day.

The administration pause the imposed tariffs (ostensibly for 90 days—slight certainty in future investment decisions), on the day they to be enacted causing FOMO and market rebound....

Make America Great Depression

Image
So here we are. America is on the brink of a recession—perhaps even a brand spanking new Great Depression. It’s not like we haven’t been here before . Protectionism has been tried in the past and failed spectacularly, exacerbating economic pain. Maybe you think the last time it was done incorrectly. Perhaps you believe it wasn’t a pure enough attempt. Or maybe you think it was simply due to the circumstances of the time, and that this time is different. Whatever your view, we are all in this boat together. And now is not the time for “I told you so’s”—that can come later, once we’re in the trenches of Normandy. This is the time for solidarity. The market is crashing, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing anytime soon. If you voted MAGA, this is the bed you made for us to sleep in. No, this is not Joe Brandon’s fault. And no, the pain we’re all about to feel from this is absolutely not necessary—contrary to some populist's opinion. Tariffs are a useful tool when use...
