Our biggest problems are NOT as complicated as the establishment claims them to be. The ultra wealthy own establishment media, so that media reports the issues we face as so complicated as to be beyond the comprehension of most people. We, the majority couldn't even understand the World 's problems even if they were explained to us in great details or any any detail at all. Don't believe this? Ask yourself when was the last time whatever news person you watch and trust actually explained one of our biggest issues instead of simply stating how complicated those issue are?
When I look out at America today, I see the rates of homelessness, poverty and crime and I question why such things are happening today. While the main stream media has been reporting on how rates of things like crime are falling, retailers like Walgreens are having to lock up more shelves or shutter locations all together and more videos of mobs blatantly stealing clothes and other goods from all manner of stores has become a thing. Would people really steal from Walgreens or other retailers if they could afford the products they're stealing?
Of course some would, they are called cleptomaniacs, but have so many people become cleptomaniacs? Have they somehow found one another in the internet and decided to join forces so they can overwhelm the security at these stores. Is there an app called "Cleptogether" of which I am unaware? In this case I think I will use the K.I.S.S. methodology and keep it simple stupid. I think people are forming mobs to pillage because they don't have money. In America, this would be smething at odds with the fact America is the richest country in Earth with the largest economy (China might be larger by now) on Earth. This, in turn, would be at odds with the fact that America can print it's fiat currency out of thin air and the rest of the world has accepted this new magic currency since 1971.
To wrap up this segment of this post, I posit the fillowing:
If America can print currency out of thin air and entire countries must accept it, why couldn't America distribute that money in an equitable manner that doesn't force people into poverty, homelessness and acts of desperation as those evidenced in videos depicting flash mobs raiding retail stores?
Until a single main stream media (MSM) news source can logically and rationally dispute this statement or at least explain a flaw in this premise, I refuse to believe a single thing they say. My wholesale approach to ignoring the MSM is borne from my belief that if the MSM can lie about the biggest issues impacting our world, they can lie about every issue impacting our world. If newspapers like the New York times can lie us into an 18 year war in Iraq when the evidence that George W. Bush and his administration was knowingly lying about the "knowns, unknowns and unknown unknowns", whatever the hell that means, it could lie about a war in Ukraine or a genocide conducted in Gaza or the growing inequitable distribution of wealth imposed on most Americans.
So, I believe I've simplified the question of why there is an increase in poverty, homelessness and crime in America. What would be the remedies for such issues? There is but one solution needed and that would be to redistribute the wealth in America's economy. Though a single strategy, the solution put forth in the previous sentence would require several tactics to accomplish the intended goal of equity. Following, I will list just some of the tactics I would deploy: First, I would review some of the practices implemented in recent years by corporations seeking to increase there profits regardless of the morality of said practices. As an example, I would look at the rates of interest that credit card companies are charging today and define them as a form of usury as they once were considered. And when your population has to finance the necessities of life such as purchasing groceries with loans at Walmart, the government should definitelybmake certain that the interest rates of such loans are not excessive. In a just society such loans would occur, but that would be part of a subsequent tactic in my strategy.
In the following Buy now, pay later report, notice how the news readers emphasize the increased profits of the corporation offering these loans and refer to the fact that people can't afford these purchases as an after thought. This leads to yet another tactic I would deploy.
I would repeal Bill Clinton's communication act which allowed the 50-60 media companies to be consolidated down to 5 or 6. This has allowed news programs to only present the narrative that only those with billions of dollars wish to be presented. Instead of talking about the impacts that an inequitable economy as exists in the United States, our news is rude with stories that divide and distract us from those who control, manipulate and decimate the wealth of others. A few years back, I tried to convince people that, while racism is something to be addressed in America, the racist statues being torn down were much less important than the 20% interest rates we were being charged for credit card debt or the thousands of dollars in rent that some were paying or the fact that homes were being out prices for most Americans because corporations were bidding up single family homes across the nation. A bill to prohibit corporations from buying residential properties should have been a law several years ago and news stations should have been broken up several years ago. And paired with breaking up news stations would be a law prohibiting pharmaceutical companies from advertising on TV in America. How can a news service report honestly on a company that is being promoted on that medium? If all other countries prohibit such advertising (except for one) why can't America prohibit such practices?
If I don't continue listing the tactics I believe we can use to correct America's course in this post, I will continue listing them in subsequent posts. Check back tomorrow, but in the meantime check out my book as mentioned below to find out how I think the masses can differentiate between the lies they have and are being told a everyday and the reality in which they and their friends and family live.
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
