The Economic Collapse

Where did all the workers go?  That is a great mystery that continues to be unsolved.  All over America, businesses are literally hiring anyone with a pulse and there are “help wanted” signs all over the place.  But the number of people that are actually working is still close to four million below the pre-pandemic peak.  What happened to all of those extra workers?  They certainly aren’t on unemployment, because claims for unemployment benefits are the lowest that we have seen “in decades”.  So where are they?  It is almost as if millions upon millions of people have disappeared from the system completely over the past couple of years.

It is often said that history repeats itself, but usually it doesn’t happen quite so quickly.  If you are getting a sinking feeling because current events bear such a close resemblance to early 2020, you are definitely not alone.  All over the globe, the Omicron variant is causing a wave of tremendous fear that is unlike anything that we have seen since the first half of last year.  And based on the response so far, it appears that we haven’t learned much since then.  We are witnessing so many of the exact same patterns play out, and that could have very important implications for the year ahead of us.  Interestingly, many on social media are now reminding us that 2022 is pronounced “2020 too”, and that is certainly quite a depressing thought.

All of the shortages were supposed to be gone by now.  During the first half of 2021, the blind optimists were assuring us that by the end of the year the pandemic would be over, the spike in inflation would have proven to be “transitory”, the global supply chain crisis would be resolved, and the U.S. economy would be booming.  Of course the truth is that none of those things happened.  In fact, overall conditions are even worse than they were six months ago.  Now we are heading into 2022, and even the optimists are finding it difficult to say anything positive about the coming year.

Enjoy the times that you are able to spend with family and friends now, because things are starting to get really crazy out there.  The official beginning of winter is upon us, and just in time there is a frightening new COVID variant that is scaring the living daylights out of politicians all over the planet.  Of course those deeply frightened politicians are going to respond to this new threat just like they have responded to every other chapter of this crisis so far.  They are going to spend even more money, they are going to relentlessly promote the injections that the big pharmaceutical companies are pushing, and they are going to impose more absurd authoritarian measures.  Needless to say, that means that this is going to be a really bad winter for the entire globe.

It seems like it was just yesterday that we were told that a new variant called “Omicron” had been discovered in southern Africa.  Now it is being reported that Omicron is suddenly spreading like wildfire all over North America and Europe, and we are being told that a very “dark winter” is ahead of us.  Of course whenever case numbers start rising again, the Biden administration feels as though it must do something.  So on Tuesday, Joe Biden is going to deliver another “major address” to the nation.  Unfortunately, many are anticipating that he may introduce more destructive restrictions which could significantly damage the U.S. economy as we head into 2022.

In this article I am going to write about something that the vast majority of the U.S. population couldn’t care less about.  Sadly, most Americans simply do not care about Ukraine, Russia’s military preparations for war, or pretty much anything else that is happening on the other side of the globe.  But over in Russia, things are completely different.  There is constant talk about the potential for war with the west, and there is a lot of pessimism that it will be able to be avoided.

The World Health Organization has sent a “rapid response team” into South Sudan to investigate a mysterious new illness that is killing people in large numbers.  At this point, about the only thing that we know about this deadly disease is that it is “unidentified”.  I scoured all of the global news reports that I could find, and none of them are telling us specifically how these people are dying.  I am going to keep trying to find out more.  This outbreak may turn out to be nothing, but the past couple of years have shown us that sometimes a small outbreak can sweep across the entire planet very rapidly.  So we should keep a close eye on South Sudan until officials can tell us for certain that there is no cause for concern.

All throughout history, statues have had deep significance to those that put them up.  In some cases, statues were erected to commemorate a conquest or a pivotal battle.  In other cases, they were set up to honor leaders of historical importance.  But even more often throughout history, statues have been constructed for spiritual reasons.  In the western world, the worship of statues is very rare today, but the global elite are still obsessed with decorating key landmarks with “art” that has very special significance to those that are “in the know”.  It is not just a coincidence that capital cities all over the planet are adorned by extremely bizarre statues.  Every single one of those statues has a meaning, and the vast majority of the population is totally oblivious to what is really being communicated.
