The government shut down is more complex and sinister than just raising money. It has been planned.  The last I heard 52% of the federal spending is for interest.   Military expenditures, social security, medicare and medicare take 46% and the remaining 2% fund everything we think of government doing – national parks  freeways, national archives.  That entire 2% could be cancelled and it wouldn’t even be a band aide on the national debt.  As Michael Hudson has said many times “When a debt is too big to ever repay it won’t be.”

We have DOGE people without paychecks, big layoffs in U.S. entities like Amazon, UPS and GE and the shut down government adds  thousands more people without paychecks.  What happens when car payments, credit card payments, mortgages stop coming in to the banks?  Banks have obligations they have to pay.  And there are the depositors wanting their cash.

This is just so coincidental. Set up so both the D’s an the R’s can blame each other. Lots of other agencies that could be shut down besides food stamps and air traffic controllers.  My best choice would be shut down the geoengineering.  I wonder if the short sellers are buying airline stocks?  Perfect timing for greatest misery right before the holidays.

Maybe this is the great unraveling.

To Mr. P #35064

We American school children were taught that the civil War was about ending slavery.   as an adult I wondered, since so few Southerners owned slaves, why this issue couldn’t have been settled without killing half a million young  men.

Now I know that slavery was a minor  issue in the Civil War.  Wars are fought with borrowed money.  The North was not about to let all those Southern tax payers stop paying back the bondholders who funded the recent Mexican War.  Tariffs were imposed to stimulate Northern industries and were a major issue.  Most of the port were in the South.  Southerners would get more imports if they didn’t have to pay the tariffs which went for Northern infrastructure.   Like most wars the Civil War was also about money.

The current Special Military Operation is also about money.  There is a definite uptick in the  MIC stocks.  Plus lining lots of private pockets. The empire is hoping for another twenty year revenue stream. For Russia it is an existential threat. No military weaponry and biological weapons labs on their border.

For those still hanging to the Civil War folklore here are a couple of good reads:

“The Real Lincoln by Thomas J DiLorenzo.  2002

“When in the Course of Human Events”  Charles Adams. 2000

The dissolution of a nation does not have to be a shooting war like the Civil War.Could be more and more refusing to cooperate with the desired narrative.  Recently I learned that the Attorneys General of twenty two U.S. states have announced that they will not enforce the WHO treaty.   Its starting!

Just wondering.  The Humas underground  tunnels, state of the art communications etc. are pretty pricey.  I didn’t think  the Palestinians had deep pockets.  but the Anglo Zs do.  Is anybody else wondering?

Thank you Mr. P for the secession article from Intel Slava. Marjorie Taylor Greene is not the only one thinking such thoughts.  Colin Woodard’s book American Nations convinced me that the U.S. is really several cultures and will  eventually separate into autonomous regions.

He says the first will be Southern California and next will be Texas.  It’s coming!
