The above short video clip is taken from the 2008 cult classic movie called, “REPO THE GENETIC OPERA”. “By the year 2056, an epidemic of organ failures has devastated the planet and wiped out 99% of the human population. The megacorporation GeneCo provides organs on a payment plan. Clients who miss payments are hunted down by Repo Men, skilled assassins who ‘repossess’ the organs.” (Wikipedia.) While we could take this short blog a number of different directions, including the devastating long-term impacts of the COVID-19 injections, and the endless push from global elites like Bill Gates, to reduce the earth’s population, we will instead focus on another gruesome effect of the emerging “REPO MEN”.
Let’s set the stage for our different “REPO MEN” opera by presenting a scenario to you and asking what your responses might be. Assume that you have made a rather large deposit into a well-established bank. Your money is there for your use as you deem appropriate, and whether or not it gains interest for you is of no importance to this scenario. Now, suppose the bank all of a sudden chooses to steal your money and use it for their own purposes, because they don’t like how you look, or the clothes you wear, or the church you attend, or maybe even the politics you profess. Would you want to deposit more of your money into this bank? Suppose others familiar with this bank found out what the bank had done in stealing your money. Do you think any other potential depositors would dare take the risk to deposit any of their money into this bank? Do you suppose it would be likely that others with deposits in this bank might suddenly choose to withdraw their funds from this bank and deposit them elsewhere? Finally, what do you think the end result would be of the financial solvency of this bank? We believe your answers to the questions we’ve asked about the bank stealing your money would be quite evident. These really are rhetorical questions, as the answers are “no-brainers”.
Were any of you aware of the details of the aid package passed recently by Congress and signed into law by the current occupant of the White House? “The big U.S. aid package for Ukraine and other allies that [the current occupant of the White House] signed Wednesday also allows the administration to seize Russian state assets located in the U.S. and use them for the benefit of Kyiv.” (apnews.com.) Surprise! Our own government is becoming that “bank” we alluded to in our imaginary scenario presented before. The “REPO MEN” are hard at work.
We live in a world economy whether you like it or not. Very few things are totally made anymore in our Nation. Often times, what may even be “made” here is often simply assembled from materials manufactured and shipped in from abroad. Other nations from around the world invest in the U.S., in our institutions, factories, processing plants, and yes, even in our financial markets. Our Nation’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is dependent upon these foreign sources for the materials and goods consumed within our Nation. Since most of our Nation’s citizens have had little extra cash on hand to buy what is wanted or even needed, our GDP slumped to a skimpy 1.6% in the first quarter of 2024.
At FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM, we believe we are in a form of “Stagflation”. We addressed the foundations of this phenomena in several previous blogs. Three of them included, “IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!” (September 25, 2022), “GOOD NEWS! The Rate of Inflation is Pruned” (October 23, 2022, which we affectionately referred to as our Rest In Peace blog), and “THE GREAT CREDIT CRUNCH” (October 1, 2023). We would also note that many of our other blogs contained snippets of information about “Stagflation”, which is defined as “Sluggish economic growth coupled with a high rate of inflation and unemployment.” (Wordnik.)
But you say, “We have a very low employment rate”. What one needs to realize is that many illegal aliens are taking “lowered” (yes, and we mean to say “lowered”) paying jobs. “‘One of the most crucial forces driving the nation’s job growth and economic vitality over the last year has been immigration’, said Rebecca Dixon, president and CEO of the National Employment Law Project (NELP). ‘Yet immigrant workers are also at the center of a growing crisis of workplace abuse, with undocumented (read that as “illegal aliens”) and temporary visa migrant workers among the most vulnerable to abuses including wage theft, health and safety risks, child labor violations, and retaliation from employers’.” (nelp.org; March 8, 2024.) Many U.S. citizens have given up looking for work and are no longer included in the jobs numbers. Many working citizens have more than one job, just to make ends meet. Low employment numbers given by our current administration need to be viewed with a suspicious eye.
Do you wonder what the two trillion dollars over what our government takes in each year goes to? “In 2023, the U.S. job market experienced a trend where nearly 25% of all job gains were attributed to government positions, underscoring a significant reliance on public sector employment to sustain economic growth.” (finance.yahoo.com; February 28, 2024; Caleb Naysmith.) Your tax dollars, and increasing National debt, is being spent in large part to increase the size, scope, and power of our ever-bloating National government. Have any of the rumored 87,000 new IRS agents contacted you yet? Historical facts in the last couple of years have shown continuing higher rates of inflation beyond the government’s target of 2% per year. At last report, it was at 3.5%. Prices of food, housing and energy are not coming down, but are being added on to each and every month. Fewer people are buying stuff, because they don’t have the money to cover the rising prices, so our economy is becoming stagnant. We have stagnation in our Nation’s economic growth, and we have rising inflation making goods and services more expensive. Add the two together and we have “STAGFLATION”. The “REPO MEN” are at work by taking back more of your hard-earned money, as your dollar shrinks and as our economy slows.
What could be worse than “STAGFLATION”? Try adding to it a Nation that no other nation in the world wants to conduct commerce with for fear of that nation, our U.S., “nationalizing” another nation’s assets. Other nations will find other ways to safely conduct their commerce, using currency other than our dollar. The result being that the U.S. dollar will no longer be the World’s Reserve Currency, the only true remaining benefit our Nation currently enjoys. Losing the dollar’s status “. . . would likely mean less access to capital, higher borrowing costs and lower stock market values, among other effects. Having the world’s reserve currency has allowed the U.S. to run large deficits in terms of both international trade and government spending. If foreigners no longer want to hold dollars for savings, it would force significant belt-tightening at home.” (money.usnews.com; February 7, 2024; Ian Bezek.) Look out! Here comes cryptocurrency, and the potential governmental control over your banking and how you may or may not be able to use your own money. We’ve already addressed this in our blog on October 8, 2023, titled, “THE GREAT BANKING SCHEME”. The “REPO MEN” will not only take from other nations, but you as a citizen of this great Nation are at risk as well.
The “REPO MEN” in our current government are out to take from us our FREEDOM and LIBERTY, granted to us not by our current government, but by our Creator, and they are simply reflected in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The “REPO MEN” take from us our hard-earned wages to spend willy-nilly on pet projects and in the institution of ludicrous schemes, while giving little to no thought as to the impact on the well-being of our Nation’s citizens and the world at large. The “REPO MEN” will remove from us our rights and abilities to “. . . peaceably . . . assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”, guaranteed by Amendment 1 to our Constitution. The “REPO MEN” will squeeze us for more and more as we have less and less and they will eventually try to come take back from us our dignity, individuality, motivation, and respect, all those “organs” within us that make us who we really are, children of God. We must displace the “REPO MEN” by voting for a change. Do so for your own survival, but also for those who will follow you in this life. Only then, will those who have been laid to rest in years gone by, in battles fought for our Nation, welcome us as true patriots and fellow warriors who have and will sustain this great Nation in which we have been so richly blessed to reside.
