@Pete Yeah the CIA printing millions of fake Rubles and flooding them into the streets had nothing to do with it.

You ever wonder if the economy has already collapsed and people are just so hypernormalized that it just hasn't set in yet?

How would America react today to a 2008-style bailout for big-silicon?

I think this. And not just the economy, but also the idea of a “nation”. I think both have actually collapsed.

The economy was hollowed out by financialization and then collapsed with the dot-com bubble.

Only the scam bubble economy remained and it consumed the housing market. The financial crisis followed and they inflated the EVERYTHING bubble.

Crypto extended the cycle, but the everything bubble popped in 2019 and thus COVID 19 was born! Trillions printed! MOm and Pops out of business. The largest transfer of money from the Middle to the top in history!

The AI bubble is not gonna work. They need too much power and too much water To inflate it big enough to cover the popping of the everything bubble.

We are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

@Zardoz @djsumdog @Pete @Zahadoom Yeah, pretty sure Western Civilization was defeated with Hitler, and died at last in 2008 - along with “America”, whose cultural peak crested throughout the 90s, and died at Frutiger Aero.

I put my historical marking pin on 9/11. (For the end of the Nation). That was the end IMHO but Im open to all arguments.

The end of the United States was in 1948 when the Synagogue of Satan invaded the homeland of the true Israelites who were incorrectly called Palestinians

@shortstories @Zardoz @djsumdog @Pete @Zahadoom Well 1947 is Year One of the CIA, so …

The Dullus Bros were not Zionists. They could more accurately be described as “sympathizers” (To the Reich)

They lost control of the CIA, sometime around the shooting.

@Zardoz @djsumdog @shortstories @Pete @Zahadoom That’s a reasonable point; either way I tend to regard it as the spark, so to speak; the mischevous glint in the eye of a soon-to-be adulteress deciding she’s not happy with her marriage.
