Half a decade ago (remember Covid?) I published a theory:
That the government was lying about inflation and it would destroy millions of lives.
Fast-forward to this past weekend, where I nearly choked to death at the grocery store upon sighting a package costing C$2 for a single slice of ham.
This, followed by my horror at discovering a latte is now ~C$10 and a chocolate croissant is the same. Forty bucks for a couple to go out for coffee.
Inflation has made life miserable for billions of people.
Homelessness in America is up 33%.
Canadian poverty is through the roof.
The U.K. housing crisis is at record levels.
But don’t worry! Politicians say inflation is almost back to their target 2% annual compound theft-of-your-purchasing power.
But here’s the truth:
“The cost of living” crisis will not go away because it cannot go away.
To paraphrase Bill Clinton’s campaign slogan: It’s the inflation, stupid.
Here’s how it works:
You deposit $100 in the bank.
Your deposit is the ammunition that enables the banksters to create $100 in new debt-money out of thin air, a credit which they lend to a borrower at interest (which is still a biblical sin.)
Congratulations! Your nation’s money supply has just inflated by $100, meaning the purchasing power of your money is guaranteed to decrease as prices go up. Meaning more people will have to borrow… meaning the doom spiral will only get worse… forever.
There isn’t a politician in Parliament/Congress who cares about this, because their masters are the very lords of credit who profit from this demonic money-multiplying system.
It’s called fractional reserve banking, and until it is abolished along with interest, prices will continue to rise.
Guaranteed.
And remember: That fake 2% inflation the politicians keep lying about… that’s a 2% fake/10+% real price hike on top of all the previous price hikes.
Prices don’t return to their original levels and then re-inflate again.
If a loaf of bread was $5 and experienced 12% real inflation last year and 8% real inflation this year, that loaf now costs $6.05… 21% cumulative inflation. When real inflation is 10% next year, that loaf is now $6.66… 33% higher than three years earlier.
In case you’re wondering:
Real inflation — when you inflation rising prices, shrinking quantities, collapsing quality, and the move to suscriptions instead of permament ownership — is well over 10% per year.
How much longer can you survive?
Do the actual math.
Right now.
Compound it out.
Okay fine, I’ll do it for you:
Next year, your pay will buy you 90.9% of what it does today.
Year 2: 82.6%
Year 3: 75.1%
Year 4: 68.3%
Year 5: 62.1%
By the end of year seven, the value of your pay will be chopped in half.
In the year 2023, you will have 48.7% of today’s purchasing power.
Who am I kidding?
It will probably be far worse.
That’s the magic of compounding, kids.
It destroys lives.
What you can/can’t do
1.) We cannot tighten-our-belts out of bankers hyper-inflating the economy.
The vast majority will never be able to cut their bills to the bone because inflation will keep raising those bills.
2.) Nor can the vast majority outwork/outrun/outpace inflation.
You can work three full-time jobs like a mule and in twenty years and it will still buy you less than it does today.
3.) Nor can the vast majority invest their way out of this by enslaving others via stocks and bonds.
Nor should they.
The entire Mammonomics system must burn.
Basically the only thing people can do in the meantime is band together in communities and get off the fiat-money grid.
It’s time to start building counter-economies and lighting spiritual fires.
In Conclusion
There is no cost of living crisis.
It’s purposeful inflation caused by willful greed.
Let bankers inflate the money supply → prices go up → governments cut services and increase taxes = compounding debt until literal slavery.
It will not stop until interest and fractional reserve banking are abolished.
I hope this article makes you righteously angry.
I hope it makes you hate greed, fractional reserve banking, interest, inflation, and theft.
I hope it makes you want to stop collaborating with evil and sell all your banking stocks, real estate stocks, rental properties, and bonds.
“Hate was is evil, hold fast to what is good.”
Buy books that will make you smarter:
A God Named Josh will help you see Jesus like you’ve never seen him before (even if you’ve been going to church for 40+ years.)
A Devil Named Lucifer will teach you how to resist Satan and actually use him to advance the kingdom of God.
A Year of Living Prayerfully will make you laugh in the moment and smile for years afterward.
Your friends and fam will thank you for getting them copies, too.
