You always know when the American Empire is failing on a number of levels.
First, the media — owned by Corporate America — begins to publish only stories that are only tangentially connected to our lives. Real NEWS is viewed as being too controversial and disturbing. You know the old motto: Keep them smiling at all costs!!
Nothing ever bad happens in America. NEVER.
Therefore, economic, foreign wars, political and national security stories are often omitted or simply censored by editors. Example, the US economy is booming! Pure b.s.
Second, when real writers who either identify or point out this garbage journalism that flows out of Washington, DC. These writers are often attacked by partisan hacks in BOTH parties. Or, they get fired and broadcast news by podcast!
What am I talking about? The ‘Job’ creation numbers for the last two months.
Absolutely Pathetic.
MARCH 2021
Wall St. Estimate: 916,000 (Bloomberg News were orgasmic over these numbers)
Main Street Reality: 770,000 (after a more thorough examination two weeks later)
APRIL 2021
Wall St. Estimate: 1,000,000 jobs (Bloomberg News (again) orgasmic)
Main Street Reality: 266,000 jobs (The morning hosts looked like they were fired!!)
NOTE: Most of the “new” jobs are in the low-paying service industries. FACT.
SCAPEGOATS: The ‘usual suspects’ in America —
Those who refuse to work for garbage wages and NO benefits
Lazy workers/Workers who want a “Living Wage”/Workers who get unemployment aid
Of course, NOTHING is said about the thousands of Small Businesses or Department Stores closed - permanently!!!
NOTHING is mentioned about America’s Four-Year Colleges and Universities dismissing 650,000 professors, staff and administrators; plus, NOTHING is mentioned about the thousands pushed into “Voluntary” retirement!! ALL this in (1) year!!
America. Beware of the Wall Street b.s.!!
The country is in serious decline. The evidence of this truth is all around us.
The top 10% are doing great. The bottom 90% are fighting for their economic lives!!
Are we truly looking America in the eye? Or, are we looking away on purpose?
