There was a really bizarre dichotomy on display today within the teleprompter script prepared for Joe Biden to use.
Dear Leader took to the microphones to brag about his economic accomplishments and remind Americans how all good thinking people should be feeling:
“Since I took office, families are carrying less debt; their average savings are up. A recent survey from the Federal Reserve found that more Americans feel financially comfortable than at any time since the survey began in 2013.”
Do you hear what he is saying? Americans have less debt, their savings are up, and they are more comfortable financially today than ever before.
If those remarks were based on reality, then why was the following segment stated exactly 52 seconds later in the same script?
…”one way we can make things a little better for families is by helping them save on other basic items their family needs on a monthly basis, like their utility bills, their Internet bills, their prescription drug bills, and other costs like housing. My goal is to make sure that at the end of the month families have a little more breathing room than they — than they have now.” (link)
These are not two different speeches; these are two paragraphs a few moments away from each other in the exact same speech. [Full Transcript Here]
This speech should ring massive alarm bells, not because of what is being said – but because the people behind Biden are just phoning in the propaganda now and not even trying to hide it or give the illusion of a president in control. No president, in command of the office and the issues, would read those two paragraphs of a prepared speech and not point out the literal hypocrisy his handlers were telling him to read.
Full Remarks, filled with denial, lies and some of the weirdest gaslighting to date.
.
Examples from speech:
…”The price of gas is up $1.40 since the beginning of the year when Putin began amassing troops at the Ukrainian border. This is the “Putin price hike.”
Example #2:
…”Putin’s war has raised the price of food because Ukraine and Russia are two of the world’s major breadbaskets for wheat and corn — the basic product for so many foods around the world.”

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the May jobs report {DATA HERE} showing a net 390,000 jobs added overall.
The leisure and hospitality sector gained 84,000, as restaurants and hotels appear to be recovering from the massive pandemic losses. However, within the reporting there is concern about the sectors that are now showing signs of increased employment weakness, including 61,000 job losses in retail.
The unemployment rate remains the same at 3.6% in May. About 330,000 people joined the labor force, however the participation rate remains below prepandemic levels.
Most analysts like the Wall Street Journal are explaining the contradictory sector specific numbers by saying, “Consumers, who loaded up on goods such as televisions and furniture early in the pandemic, have started to shift their spending to in-person services such as travel or restaurant meals.” While there may be some truth to that outlook, it appears that most macro-perspectives are still discounting the extreme increases in price that are now baked into this new ‘transitional economy.’
Consumer purchasing is very prioritized because food, fuel, energy and housing are now eating up much more of the average person’s paycheck. People cannot pay 30 to 50% more at the gas station and grocery store and still retain disposable income for durable goods purchases. That’s the basic issue.
The durable goods sector shows the contraction in employment due to the loss in disposable income.
Here’s the main graphic [Table-B] showing where the jobs are being gained and where the jobs are being lost.

Democrat House of Representatives member David Cicilline (Rhode Island) delivered remarks during a congressional hearing about the second amendment rights of Americans. Within his prepared remarks Representative Cicilline says the quiet backroom part out loud and introduced the modern democrat perspective on the constitution. WATCH:
.
When people show you who they are, what their priorities maintain and how they structure their outlooks, it is generally the best idea to accept it.
If constitutional rights are “bullshit,” then what control mechanisms remain to restrain excessive government power?

The issue within the DOJ filing an appeal to force U.S. airlines to reinstate the masks for air travel has nothing to do with public safety or benefits of mask wearing on airlines. The core issue is raw government power.
At the same time as the European Union has lifted all mask wearing restrictions for airline travel, Joe Biden is filing an appeal with the eleventh circuit court of appeals (Tampa, Florida) to overturn a judge’s ruling that lifted the mask mandate for airlines. The extreme leftists within the Biden administration want to retain the power over people as an essential element within their larger agenda.
Freedom and self-determination are antithetical to the Build Back Better agenda, which necessarily includes the power of the federal government to make unilateral decisions that impact the lives of the people beneath it. The airline mask mandate is just one small visual demonstration of the power of government over the people.
The need for raw power and forced edicts is why Biden cannot allow his fiats to be ignored.
WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice has appealed a federal judge’s ruling that vacated the federal mask mandate for public transportation.
A filing was made Tuesday, hours before the deadline and more than a month after the DOJ said it had filed a notice of appeal following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saying it was requesting the challenge.
Several airlines and other sources of public transportation dropped their masking rules after U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa, Florida, vacated the federal mask mandate in April. The mandate, instituted as a means to stop the spread of COVID-19, had been set to expire May 3 after it was extended by the Biden administration.
[…] The appeal seeks to reverse the ruling from a lawsuit filed by the Health Freedom Defense Fund, a nonprofit legal organization that specializes in healthcare cases. In its lawsuit, the fund argued that the CDC overstepped its authority by enacting the mask mandate “without any public comment, or serious scientific justification.” (read more)
The people behind the Biden administration are operating on an agenda that is entirely hidden by the willful compliance of a corporate media apparatus. Almost everything associated with the Biden agenda to fundamentally transform the U.S, requires everyone to pretend the agenda is something else.
What they are doing is extremely dangerous. However, it is the national pretending that is really killing us.
The facemasks are just one small sub-set of an example.

With barely more than a third of the country supporting the installed occupant of the White House, Joe Biden took to the podium tonight to demand a litany of new gun restrictions. Biden called for the banning of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines through reinstating the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, noting that if that can’t happen, the government should raise the legal age to purchase such weapons from 18 to 21.
Biden also called on congress to construct new federal background checks, which sounded a lot like a federal registration of gun ownership. Also, he is demanding “red flag” laws that will allow schools, counsellors, doctors and others to flag an individual as a threat to themselves or others, thereby removing their right to gun ownership. Biden also said he want’s congress to ban large capacity magazines limiting all firearms to five bullets. WATCH:
“Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Idi Amin, Castro, Pol Pot… All these monsters began by confiscating private arms, then literally soaking the earth with the blood of tens & tens of millions of their people. Ahh. The joys of gun control.”
Justin Trudeau will join the list of dictators who forbid citizens from self-protection. “It will be illegal to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada,” Trudeau said, using the tragedy in Texas as his platform. “Other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives.”
The cowardly armed cops in Uvalde, Texas, sat idle as the children were massacred. They even tasered desperate parents who tried to enter the school. Any parent would have attempted to eliminate the threat given the opportunity. The heroic teachers protected the children as best as they could, being unarmed, as help from the government (i.e., the cops) never arrived. The government is not here to protect you or your children. Relinquishing guns is the first step toward becoming completely defenseless.

Joe Biden sought counsel today from New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern about how best to remove firearms from Americans and force the U.S. economy to a dependency on renewable energy. Prime Minister Ardern took the top spot in the global progressive movement after the retirement of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
PM Ardern, a remarkable smiley-faced fascist, now represents the face of modern global leftism and boned-up her progressive bona fides with the totalitarian New Zealand COVID policy. The corporate fascists within the World Economic Forum love the government compliance model represented by Ardern to the collective global society they are creating.
New Zealand has a population of 5 million people, and a GDP of $205 billion (about the same as Nevada). By comparison the U.S. has a population exceeding 350 million and a GDP exceeding $21 trillion. That said, during their White House meeting today, Joe Biden emphasized that he welcomes the assistance of PM Ardern in helping to guide U.S. efforts for firearm regulation and a comprehensive climate change driven renewable energy economy.
[Transcript] – […] You understand that your leadership has taken on a critical role in this global stage — and it really has — galvanizing action on climate change; the global effort to curb violence, extremism, and online, like happened in Christchurch.
And — you know, we want to be — I want to work with you on that effort. And I want to talk to you about what those conversations were like, if you’re willing.
The United States is, you know — it’s just been — there’s a — there’s an expression by an Irish poet that says, “Too long a suffering makes a stone of the heart.” Well, there’s an awful lot of suffering. We’ve been — I — I’ve been to more mass shooting aftermaths than, I think, any President in American history, unfortunately. And it’s — it’s just — so much of it is — much of it is preventable, and the devastation is — is amazing.
Yesterday — or not — the day before, I was up — I was down in Texas. And people sat in a room — about 250 of them in a large room — with me for almost four hours. Not — nobody left. They waited until aft- — until I spoke to every single person in that room. Every single person, they waited to the very end. And the — they — the pain is palpable.
And you’ve been one of our closest partners with a long history and friendship. Eighty years ago, Marines landed in New Zealand before embarking on — into the Pacific Theater in World War Two. And I think I told you, when I met my — my — two of my mother’s brothers who were in the Pacific — they used to be able to deploy at the same time in those days, in World War Two. And one was shot down in New Guinea. And they never found the body. But it’s — you know, it’s — the history goes back a long way — a long way.
And I want to, by the way, recognize New Zealand’s significant support for Ukraine, as a lot of Indo-Pacific countries are doing now. And — because this is more than just a regional war going on.
So, I look forward to our conversations today. We have a lot to talk about. And I’m really, really delighted to have you here — really.
PRIME MINISTER ARDERN: Thank you. And can I say, Mr. President, thank you, so much — so much —
PRESIDENT BIDEN: You — you can do anything you want.
PRIME MINISTER ARDERN: Great. (Laughs.) Thank you. And we really welcome this opportunity.
As you’ve said, we’ve spoken on several occasions. And what stood out to me on both those occasions were we traversed such similar issues, and not — not least, of course, our shared history.
You speak of your uncle’s service in the Pacific; my grandfather served in the Pacific. And I think that speaks to the personal connection but also the depth of our friendship and relationship as two countries.
We are in an incredibly difficult international environment. But also, domestically, it is extraordinarily challenging as well. And can I bring the sincere condolences of the people of Aotearoa New Zealand for what you have experienced in Texas and in New York? And it’s been devastating to see the impact on those communities.
Our experience, of course, in this regard, is our own. But if there’s anything that we can share that would be of any value, we are here to share it.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Well, the work you’re doing with tech companies is really important, and I want —
PRIME MINISTER ARDERN: Absolutely.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: — to work with you there as well.
PRIME MINISTER ARDERN: And I absolutely look forward to updating you on some of the conversations we’ve had this week because I hold hope that we can make progress.
I also wanted just to acknowledge your leadership in bringing to the table the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. And whilst, of course, we are significant advocates for the CPTPP, the IPEF presents a significant opportunity to build the economic resilience of our region. So, I look forward to having a bit of a discussion about that opportunity as well.
I also want to acknowledge your significant leadership on Ukraine and how important that has been not only to us as we’ve looked to play a role as well, but globally as we look to make sure that we strengthen the international response to what is a threat to our values and, of course, the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine.
I do want to finish on a note of optimism. Climate change also is one of the greatest threats that we face. And I believe that, in you, not only have we seen the leadership but the opportunity that exists between our nations to work together on this incredibly difficult issue that will only be resolved if we work together.
So, thank you. With — as you’ve seen, we’ve got a lot to discuss, so —
PRESIDENT BIDEN: We’ve got a lot to do. And I want to emphasize the last point you made: “working together.”
PRIME MINISTER ARDERN: Absolutely.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: We are not coming to dictate or lay down the law. We —
PRIME MINISTER ARDERN: Yeah.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: — we have more work to do in those Pacific Islands as well. I mean, we’ve — and so, we talked at length about — in the past about my trip to Japan and Korea and then dealing with the Quad. And so — but I think there’s a lot of opportunity —
PRIME MINISTER ARDERN: Yeah, I agree.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: — to make the world safer and deal with the environment.
PRIME MINISTER ARDERN: I agree. I agree. So, thank you.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Thank you.
Thank you all very much.
Q Mr. President, will you meet with Senator McConnell on guns?
PRESIDENT BIDEN: I will meet with the Congress on guns. I promise you.

Anytime you hear the code-word “transition”, what the explainers mean is the change from traditional oil, gas and fossil fuels to renewable energy and the Green New Deal. The phrase “economic transition” is used to explain the economic collapse of Main Street that will happen during the switch. Remember THE GOAL? It has never changed.
National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, aka the U.S. version of Baghdad Bob, appears before several audiences today in an effort to use as many words as possible to explain the “transition,” without actually explaining the “transition.” Why? Because they don’t want the average person to know what the “transition” is all about…. Because if the average person knew what this “transition” is all about, then they might realize all of these massive increases in price are being done intentionally. WATCH:
.
Again, you guys are going to get sick of me saying this…. BUT, the number one problem our country faces is that the vast majority of us are PRETENDING.
The White House is pretending the U.S. government does not have full control over what is happening in the economy. The media are pretending not to know that the White House is avoiding admitting the agenda and economic pain is intentional and unavoidable. The republican politicians are pretending the Biden economic transition program is because the White House is incompetent. All of these -and so many more- are just pretenses.
What is being done by the government, in this decision to switch from an oil and gas economy into a wind and solar economy, is being done on purpose. Yes, everyone at every level of government, both political parties and every agency within it, and the entirety of the corporate media are pretending not to know this is the Green New Deal taking place.
We cannot confront or solve this stuff, until we -including media- stop pretending. Brian Deese is Baghdad Bob.

…..Quit Pretending
Joe Biden is not running this economy. Joe Biden’s economic advisors are not running this economy. Joe Biden’s cabinet members are not running the economy. The people running this economy are the climate change activists behind the scenes who have been elevated into positions in all economic cabinet offices throughout the administration. This was the deal in 2020 that led to Biden’s installation.
Professional political activists, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders types, within the Interior Dept., Energy Dept., EPA and other regulatory agencies related to the energy economy are in control. Not a single operator within the system looks to the White House or executive office for guidance. They knew they had a short window to carry out the unilateral agenda regardless of damage it does.
This is a full-throated assault on the energy industry under the auspices of the climate change agenda. And that is what is collapsing Main Street and pushing massive costs onto consumers via inflation. That’s it. That’s the background. No one in/around the White House has any control over the consequences. That was the 2020 deal made, and the reason why Biden was selected as the nameplate.
Oil prices have shot up to $120/barrel. Russia and Ukraine are being used as a smokescreen for the ‘Build Back Better’, or domestically, the “Green New Deal’, agenda. The same climate agenda supported by the entire Western government alliance who bow to the altar of the World Economic Forum.
Damn the consequences, full speed ahead. Main Street citizens are collateral damage. They don’t care. In the view of the operators, their urgent goals are bigger than our needs; and their high-minded, filled with superiority justification is, they are trying to save us from ourselves.
US NEWS – The jump of more than 50% for oil prices so far this year has been a big contributor to the very high inflation sweeping the world. Earlier Tuesday, a report showed inflation in the 19 countries that use the euro currency hit 8.1% in May, the highest level since records began in 1997. (more)
Of course, every American can feel the impact, even if they cannot identify the reasons outlined above.
WASHINGTON – Americans’ confidence in the economy has plummeted to a new low, hitting likely the lowest confidence since the end of the Great Recession in early 2009, according to a new Gallup poll released on Tuesday.
Gallup’s Economic Confidence Index (ECI) measured -45 in May, which is down from -39 in each of the past two months. (more)
The only thing we know with absolute certainty, is that things are going to get worse. They know how bad it is going to be, that’s why they are working to mitigate any risks to the centralized power. That risk mitigation includes the need to consider armed citizens as a threat to the process.
There will be electricity shortages. There will be even more “necessarily skyrocketing” increases in energy costs, both cooling and heating. There are going to be more, even larger, food price increases and potentially some shortages.
As each unavoidable item like housing, energy, gas and food costs more, there are less dollars available for non-essentials. Inventories on durable goods will climb as consumers hunker down with priority spending on the most essential items. If the demand is gone, employment layoffs in the goods sector will take place.
This process, a very predictable yet unnatural outcome from the consequence of completely restructuring the energy sector which underpins the economy, is not going to get better. There is far more downside yet to travel.
We are entering the ‘you will have nothing, and you will be happy phase.’
The sanctimonious and pontificating elite class are justifying all of this pain by saying they are trying to save the planet.
