The consumer is 65% of the U.S. GDP according to the article. I checked and B to B accounts for 15% and government is the other 20%. I think this should worry us. The bigger the government grows the more it encroaches on consumer and business spending.

What is actually happening is government spending is exploding due to the combination of inflation and the national debt. The debt is over 125% of GDP and the interest rate has boomed to close to 5% thanks to inflation and the resulting action of the Federal Reserve. Thus, the interest on the debt is very close to a Trillion dollars per year! Under Trump it was $300 Billion, so it has basically tripled due to Bidenomics. Isn’t that the real story?

Our Democrat leaders during the first two years voted to spend enormous amounts on the New Green Deal and forced the Fed to borrow Trillions we did not have in tax receipts. That is what caused the explosion in inflation and sped up the bankruptcy process for America. We should thank them! They created the problem by design and now they have taken the giant step to bring America to it’s knees! That was their goal over a century ago.

It won’t work. We cannot be brought to our knees because they made one huge miscalculation. We the People are in charge and we do not need Democrats to help us any longer. In fact, we never needed them. They sold us on the idea that they were needed and picked our pockets for over 100 years to sneak socialism into our society. But America is waking up. If the government declares bankruptcy, America just keeps on working!

If what we are being told by Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes is correct, President Trump declared our bankruptcy in 2018 for God’s sake. We have been kaput for six damned years and business is still going strong.

All that needs to happen is for the rest of America to figure out that we do not need the government that we have been sold. All we need is the government that was designed for us by the Constitution in 1789. For instance, where was student debt relief called for in the founding documents? Do you see how corrupted our design has gotten? Where is the New Green Deal? For that matter where was the original New Deal? We have been sold a piece of goods that is not helping us in reality. It was all socialism in disguise. We can do without it.

So, let’s put Trump back in charge and let’s fix this mess the Left has created. We can do it!

I continue to state that we need to eliminate 90-99% of all government agencies. We would not miss a beat.

See how easy this is going to be? We need the military and borders. Look at the Constitution, it defines what we need very clearly. The rest is superfluous. Let it go!

Great post!

A wee note just to say that the govt’s lending to students was never called for in the founding documents either.

What a great set of Takes today y'all hit multiple homeruns!

It starts with GBPH pointing out how the DS Rat Bastard EU leaders will have to arrest Bibi because they all agreed to the asinine Globalist court... boomerang :-)

My wife & I have 2 retail stores in a small lake community, you can't fool us about how shitty Bidenomics is. Business is down 25% this year. OUCH... hurry back Trump!!!

Bitcoin is a key part of the solution.

GBPH I love your history lessons. I loved history when I was younger and now you are bringing true history back. Thanks!!!

Oregon moving to Idaho is GLORIOUS. We have a daughter and son-in-law in Portland... what a Commie shithole the DS Rat Bastards have turned that once beautiful thriving city into.

Finally, the Kim story is great to help restore faith in humanity. Once the strings are cut amazing things are available and quickly!

Keep sending the heat.

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

The good thing about ready the brief later in the day is that all I have to do is like 👍 what all of you have said. GBPH's history lessons are welcome relief after decades of false information. As are other important contributions by Ashe, BB, et al. My little opinions feel fully validated, and don't feel so little after most readings of the brief. Thank you, everyone! At age 73, it's nice to feel I've learned, and retained, a thing or two over the years! 🎊

“Every culture institutionalizes certain forms of behavior that communicate and encourage certain forms of thinking and acting, thus moulding the character of its citizens. To the degree that the individual is made an object of constant mental manipulation, to the degree that cultural institutions may tend to weaken intellectual and spiritual strength, to the degree that knowledge of the mind is used to tame and condition people instead of educating them, to that degree does the culture itself produce men and women who are predisposed to accept an authoritarian way of life.”

👍🇺🇸👍 Thank you, Ian Smith, for fighting (and winning) your long fight against the power of the unconstitutional government!

Ghost is a wealth of information not found elsewhere and his analysis is excellent! I share his turnaround on Kim’s view and his progress since he was freed from the cabal’s control! Saudi Arabia’s leadership has proven to be a powerful force in the battle for honest nationalism. Both countries are in important positions for our future.

Our fearless Tiger’s comment on Trump traps, ‘Trump came out in favor of broader crypto acceptance, and so, the Biden Administration—and its media lapdogs—have been forced to capitulate….’ Progress up front and center while Biden and ‘Indian’ princess wanted NO freedoms to decide as serfs.😆

Ashe succinctly notes the divide between the masters and we the serfs, ‘In Bidenomics, the majority of Americans are just trying to survive.’ There’s a reason the most revealing statistics are kept out of the economic equations…

And….not to be left out, the CIA put the brakes on vital testimony regarding Hunter’s taxes. Hmm…bet the CIA was conducting some money laundering they don’t want exposed.

Bibi has no loyalty to his fellow elites….only forced compliance by his masters in the cabal. So as Israel continues to foment; emphasis is once again placed on Ukraine….

Awakened citizens in Oregon have had enough of the fascists in western Oregon. Of course Idaho has values….rural areas still posses common sense and loyalty to the Constitution. I’m beginning to think that Congress is going to look MUCH different in January.

God bless the Truthers as they continue to expose the truth about the Nazis in DC. Please keep them in Your protected hand as events escalate and accelerate over the next few months.🙏🙏

GBPH - oh I think that's exactly what happens next given he's already implicated prior leaders who committed war crimes after his arrest "warrant" was announced. Delicious.

It's gonna be Biblical.

GBPH: "I don't really care that the ICC was founded by George Soros-- who is probably dead, need to see proof of life-- or that it is an illegitimate organization. What I care about is the fact that we are witnessing the breaking of the controlled-opposition dynamic, and the tables turning to force the globalists to fight one another." I fully agree!

Also: "Samson Option"!

I tend to be a purist - meaning that I tend to think in terms of black and white. When I understood from the Revelation chapter 17 verse 17 that God "has put it their hearts to execute His purpose" when speaking of the ultimate destruction of the system of systems (Babylon) by its leaders, points like this (as well as many made by the Badlands team) became more "acceptable" to my sensitivities.

BB: "You don’t even need to subscribe to ‘Patriots in Control’ or Devolution scenarios to witness the sort of influence going on, here, as even the American normie is seeing it."

First - why does substack not recognize "normie" as a word (or "substack" for that matter). Second - I have never been a fan of derivatives. The implications of leverage and manipulation (think naked short selling or Freddie Mac) work for the wealthy but not for the masses (think Black Horse Rev.6:6). But on the same vein as Operation Warp Speed - I love that the infinite player is in control!

AiA: As for Greater Idaho...I graduated from HS in a small town in eastern Oregon, went to college and got married in Portland, moved our family to Boise in 1996...and then left for TN about 4 years ago. I hope this happens! It will mean nothing to progressive OR but could have a very positive impact on conservative OR and on Idaho - the capital of which has been shifting too far left from my perspective (trying too hard to be little Denver?).

I’m against crypto currency (even though I’d never use it) only because I think it will be used as a steppingstone to governmental digital currency which would then be used to supplant paper money. Image going to a local kid’s lemonade stand, how do you pay that kid with digital currency. There’s too much opportunity for government shenanigans with crypto.

I’d support a law saying the US government will always print physical money, and as far as crypto, if someone wants to participate in it, knock your socks off…

Who needs Cryptocurrency if America just goes belly-up but backs the dollar with Gold? If we are being told the true facts, America is holding 650 cargo planes worth of Gold to back the dollar. That should kill any need for Crypto. In fact, it may tend to make the Crypto worth very little.

Gotta source for that? First I’m hearing about it…

I think it might have been discussed by Q. One of Trump's first trips he stopped in and told the Vatican that he was taking back all of the US gold stored in Vatican vaults. And I do recall there being 650 cargo planes; they were probably 747 freighters. Each one of which IIRC can carry ~100 tonnes of cargo. At today's gold price of ~$75K per kilo, each tonne would be worth $75 million. Each planeload, $7.5 billion. For a grand total of nearly $5 trillion.

Now that's a lot of gold, but not enough to pay back all of the debt the US 'government' has accumulated on our behalf.

We can pay down the DEBT with this treasure being taken by the Elite Scum as I type this. 4 trillion disappeared from the Fed Reserve3 months before Obama left office. Im sure if we ever take these thieves into custody, they'll start ratting each other out, and we will find much more treasure thats been stolen from the working man and woman of the USA.

Thats right about the time Gates and other shady insiders showed up at the Popes palace to offer him millions. The pope remarked that "everyone should be like Bill Gates". Epstein had a personally signed photo of the Pope. Could the Pope have known what Epstein did for a living? Its not enough to be sitting in a palace filled with the world's artifacts worth billions, surrounded by a walled fortress. 'Bring me your millions of dollars' cries the Pope as he wears his PEDO "Boy Lover" symbol all over his sacred robe made for "YOUTH DAY", and the stage, designed as a serpent, its backdrop mural of Christ as a DEMON adorns the wall... EVIL!!

Sort of reminds me of the Monkees song 'The Door Into Summer' from their 3rd album in late '67:

"With his fool's gold stacked up all around him

From a killing in the market on the war

The children left King Midas there, as they found him

In his counting house where nothing counts but more."

-- Chip Douglas and Bill Martin, "The Door Into Summer" (1967)

I have a hard time trying to figure out exactly who the King Midas reference links to today, there are so many of them...

Just listened to the song.... first time I think...... I like the analogy.

No where in Catholic symbolism does this pedophile symbol of BOY LOVER exist. A special robe to mark the TRUTH, out in the open finally, on "YOUTH DAY". There is no more shame for this beast of prey. Guard your Children

In one picture, he has Mary Mother holding the GIRL LOVER Pedophile symbol.

This man, the Pope, appeared to me as a DEMON the first time I laid eyes on him.

It'd make it easier for that kid with her lemonade stand to file her taxes. The government would already know how much money she earned that year. And, they could take out her taxes as she earned, like the rest of us wage slaves. Easy-peasy!

They always sell their BS with 'convenience.'

Thessalonians 2:3–12

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but what pleasure in unrighteousness.

Im pissed at the cost of toilet paper. With 30 million illegals here since the open border and 1/2 that many Got-A-Ways, WE are paying the prices to wipe their behinds! 22 dollars for jumbo toilet paper? Has anyone figured out what that comes out to per wipe, per illegal? Im not a finance person so Ill leave that to smarter folks. COVID was also an excuse to hike up the price of basic essentials and especially the things we cant do without like TP, and since the plandemic, the price is still rising. The product is so flimsy that you need to purchase Baby Wipes to finish the job correctly, so thats even more $$$. Target not only targets your kids and your toiletries, but ALL Toilet paper producers are targeting our wallets! Target and Macys, Starbucks and others have learned that will not remaining complacent. They've been a pain in our backsides. Will it all come down to toilet paper? I think it should!! We are coming together to defeat them all 2024! Thanks be to GOD!

I would find it very entertaining to see a headline like "ICC issues arrest warrant for George Soros". It would be quite difficult for him to declare it an illegitimate organization.

My family moved from Canada to Oregon in the 1970s to escape the burgeoning socialist government there. We still have a ranch run by a family member. IMO the solution to Oregon is to kick out the commie government and save the whole state. Maybe with a solid “blue” Burrough like the Bronx going red (did you see Trump’s rally there?) then there’s hope for Oregon.

“Will the government stop and listen to the people?”

And uphold the Constitution? It does have an amendment process, if the people wish to use it.
