Is Biden destroying the economy and weakening America on purpose?

[Foxfyre]

Stephen Moore, economist, doesn't think it is on purpose, but says:
". . .if this were a scheme to burn down the village in order to rebuild it, Biden and his administration are doing a great job of it. . ."

In 1992, the infamous Democratic strategist and campaign adviser, James Carville, famously coined the phrase "It’s the economy, stupid" as part of a campaign effort to win voters to Bill Clinton.

Is that the whole story this year? Pretty much all the main issues out there--inflation, energy, spending, border security, crime--affect the overall health of the economy and are the driving force creating a red wave. (Abortion isn't even in the top 10 of issues important to Americans but dividing us up into confrontational groups and dumbing down and indoctrinating children with anti-American and 'woke' agenda is.)

But will it be enough? Some polls suggest Democrats are ahead in some key races. The media is still burying most of the news that would make Democrats look bad while reporting Biden et al who blame Trump and Republicans/MAGA people for all our problems and that is all a lot of people who only get their news from the alphabet sources see.

Stephen Moore suggests Biden and the Democrats are destroying America seven ways:
1. Dismantle the nation's energy supply
2. Don't enforce the border
3. Devalue the nation's currency through inflation
4. Destroy the nation's finances by running up the debt multiple trillions of dollars
5. Divide rather than unite the nation
6. Dumb down and indoctrinate our children with anti-American propaganda in the schools and media
7. Decriminalize a lot

Is he right?

Biden's Destroying the Economy. Is It Intentional?

Everywhere I go, people are mystified about President Joe Biden's economic agenda. So few of the policies comport with basic common sense that I'm asked the same question over and over: Is Biden intentionally trying to take a wrecking ball to the economy?

Defeat The "Great Reset" To Save American Freedoms| @amacforamerica

The "Great Reset" is coming, and it's going to be catastrophic. We need to defeat this idea and save our freedoms.

amac.us

1) elect national, state, and local leaders who will adamantly and fearlessly fight against the goals of the radical Great Reset; 2) pass federal regulation and, ultimately federal legislation that will make it illegal for banks and financial institutions to make lending decisions based on anything other than financial concerns; 3) defund leftist-controlled programs at the United Nations; 4) pass a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution; and 5) reform American education at the college and K-12 levels so that America’s youth are fairly taught both the good and bad of America’s history.

In conclusion, the Great Reset is a challenging, complex subject, and this article is not intended to be an all-inclusive description. But now that its fundamental tenet has been exposed, i. e., controlling people’s thinking, speech, and behavior by controlling their money, Americans must pull together to fight/defeat this insidious effort—an effort by many of the world’s “elites” to gain control and power over the nations and peoples of the world. America needs bold, courageous leaders who are unafraid to do whatever is necessary to defeat the leftist promoters of the radical Great Reset.

IF you're trying to rest the system you must first make it fail..

How to create a socialist state, Saul Alinsky:

Do these remind you of the Democrat National Committees basic play book? They should. Every item is being worked on by todays left wing extremists.

1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

 

[Votto]

Where are all the Biden Groupies at?

Have they conceded defeat or are they celebrating the destruction of a country they deem evil and systemically racist and the worst nation on earth?

 

[Billy_Bob]

Let's take on these eight areas of our social structure that are being attacked.

1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people.
Every socialist, top-down model requires the state to have total control of your health care. When a person is responsible for their own health care they choose the items, they want to deal with. What they eat. What they Drink. How they exercise or choose not to exercise. what illnesses they get seen for and treatments for diseases are done to them or for them.

When the Government controls this, they now have a vested interest in what you do because they are paying for it. Now everything you want, or need is now decided by bureaucrats. They can now dictate your diet, you exercise, what treatments you get or do not get. They will use a cost benefit analysis of your productivity potential verses the cost to treat you. As you grow older you become a burden and you are denied treatments. Your will and want to live have no bearing on their decisions. You are nothing more than a number.

The potential for abuse is massive. Places like China use a "social Credit Score" system. This means if your political stance is disliked by those in power, they can deny you and your family treatments. Here in the US they are using a new ESG system that is nothing more than a social credit score. Banks will no longer loan to you if your political stances are disliked. It's Here!


2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
Dependence on the government is paramount in a top-down socialist model. Those who depend on the government for their very lives are much less likely to revolt. This model will create poverty. It requires the destruction of the middle class. As long as a populace has the hope of making a better life, they cannot be totally controlled. Those who control will make the ability to move and go places very hard to accomplish. This is the exact opposite of the capitalistic model of self-reliance.

3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
Increasing of taxes, increasing the fuel costs, increasing food costs, increasing the housing and heating costs, anything that can be done to strip independence from the people must be accomplished. When you make them create unsustainable debt, they become dependent on the government. Thier financial collapse makes them wholey dependent on the government.

4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
This is step one in any control process. IF they can defend their God given rights, they cannot be turned into servants. The ownership of weapons, to remove tyranny, scares these people to death. The difference between a free man and a slave is his right to keep and bear arms. TO KEEP is to own. TO BEAR ARMS is to have the ammunitions, training, and spare parts to keep them functional. Our founding made it very hard to do anything to this right, "The right to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" they knew from the very start the importance of this right. They are trying to tax and limit our guns, parts, and ammunitions. All of those attempts are unconstitutional given the very definitive and deliberate wording of the US Constitution.

5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
The welfare state is a direct attack on the core family. Lyndon B Johnson created the welfare state in the US. As it grew the rules were designed to break apart the family. Woman and Children could not have a man present to receive benefits. This caused men to be separated from their families during the great depression. The housing projects in the 60's were created where no black father could be with his children. Women became baby producing mills to keep benefits. Children without good role models led to the fractures we see today in Black families.

Food programs were started, and the state began to take control of what the family and church's rolls were. The welfare state was the beginning of the destruction of the reliance on faith and family.

6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
The last sixty years we have seen the takeover of our schools and colleges. The socialist's and Marxists were very sly when they moved into positions to teach our young. They started in our colleges and began teaching those who would then teach our young. Slowly but surely, they indoctrinated our young. Today these people no longer hide, and they are in full view.

Today the Marxists control our libraries, colleges and schools. They are now "Grooming" our children to accept transgenderism, gay, and other lifestyles. They take our children to drag shows and attempt to normalize pedophilia. The absolute opposite of most people's deeply held religious beliefs.
They have instituted Critical Race Theory. This is institutionalized racism which Martin Luther King waged war to remove from our lives. They tell our young people of color that they cannot amount to anything because of white people and then tell white children that they are oppressors and must yield all authority and give up what they have created. They make slaves of children, ripe to become hate filled activists.

7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
The US Constitution prohibits the create of a government religion. It does not prohibit the expressing one's religion in any way, even if working in government. This one area has been a direct assault from the Marxist and socialists. The belief in God is one of the base tenets of the US constitution. It is placed in the preamble of our document. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, among them are life, Liberty. and the pursuit of happiness."
It is this core belief that our inalienable rights come from God and not man. This makes them rights that cannot be taken away by men. IN order to enslave men, you must deprive them of these basic rights. This is why the government has attempted to take over the duties of the church in welfare and caring for the old and ill. They assume the duties in an effort to remove it.

It is this conscious effort to remove God from our schools and government to keep our young from learning it at a young age. They do this also with our pledge of allegiance and prayers. We have every right to be proud of America as founded but a proud people cannot be enslaved. They must remove all national pride in order to enslave us.

8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
The Bible is clear, a house divide against itself cannot stand. Abraham Lincoln also made this point with our nation. It is the reason he would not allow succession of the southern states. History is littered with nations that tore themselves apart due to intentional divisions.

Today's democrat-Marxist-socialist agenda is one of divide and control. The lines of division and factions are many today and all created on purpose. Men vs Women, gay vs straight, black vs white, wealthy vs poor, and list goes on and on. The wealth gap has increased, and this gives the left the leverage to take more in taxation to "be fair" or "Pay their fair share".

As long as we allow the left to divide us, we will be vulnerable to being made slaves to the top-down collectivist model.


In summary:

Everything the socialist's/Marxists do is to create more poverty, reduce the ability to be mobile and the ability to protect your God given rights. The Man-Made Global Warming lie is another example of the attempt to control the populace. By artificially removing your ability to be self-sufficient they create massive poverty and dependence.

They have created an activist class of people who do as they are told and have little ability to cognitively think for themselves. This has always been a long game approach to the control and enslavement of people.

That list isn't from Alinsky though it is often erroneously attributed to him. Healthcare for instance wasn't even in his wheelhouse in "Rules for Radicals."

But the list does reflect what some, perhaps many, on the left have done or intend to do within a decidedly neo-Marxist mentality.

Alinsky had several works. He is best known for the "Rules for Radicals". There are many things Alinsky believed which are not in his RFR book. The creation of a socialist state is one of many things he opined about in his writings. Healthcare was just blooming when he died.

The attacks on social structure are very well thought out.

Here is what Democrats said they were going to do with health care before they passed Obamacare



1. It will cost more

2. It will keep people alive less to reduce costs. (and reduce carbon footprints)

And as we look around, we see this coming to pass.

 

[task0778]

First, let me say that the emphasis ought to be on the Democratic Party (DP) as a group rather than Joe Biden, who IMHO is a follower rather than a leader that finds himself in a leadership position but still needs somebody to tell him what to do and which direction to charge in. He's never been all that smart, but he is beclowning himself almost daily with the things he says. Which makes me think other people are pulling his strings but he gets the words wrong; he's like a lineman in football, where somebody else calls the plays and all he does is block or tackle somebody on the other side. So, I focus on the DP instead of Biden.

Is the DP destroying the economy and weakening America on purpose? Mostly I think not, the majority of them want cleaner air and water and they want to preclude the climate change/global warming threat to the existence of humanity that they have been convinced is at least possible if not certain. And so, their fear leads them to accept the policies that the DP leadership offers them without question. The cost and the efficacy are ignored, as is the collateral damage that could result to millions of Americans that are in no position to deal with it. The media, academia, and Hollywood among others bear some responsibility for this overreaction; the hysteria overcomes the wisdom of calm thought and prudent action, and the economy and the country as a whole are weakened from what could have been.

Some of that is due to greed on the part of those who will benefit, including democrat politicians who want to get re-elected. They probably take for granted that whatever riches they obtain from their fraud or theft won't make a difference, but collectively and over time it does kind add up. The pols convince themselves that even if they realize their policies are not in the best interests of the people that life will go on as before without consequence their misdeeds. Ditto the crooks making big money off of the gov't largesse, what's a few hundred million out if a $5 trillion budget?

And maybe there are some whose goal may actually be the weakening of America. I do not believe we should discount the activities of our enemies: the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and others who would delight in our destruction. Their influence may not be that great though, cuz we are already pretty good at screwing up this country by ourselves. No doubt there are many of us who believe that a large, controlling gov't is a good thing, even if our individual rights and liberties are forfeit. I don't think they realize how short and slippery that path is to a totalitarian gov't. The end justifies the means they say, knowing full well that they are not the ones who will suffer the most in the 'Transforming of America'. It's so easy to spend someone else's money, isn't it?

Today's democrat-Marxist-socialist agenda is one of divide and control. The lines of division and factions are many today and all created on purpose. Men vs Women, gay vs straight, black vs white, wealthy vs poor, and list goes on and on. The wealth gap has increased, and this gives the left the leverage to take more in taxation to "be fair" or "Pay their fair share".

As long as we allow the left to divide us, we will be vulnerable to being made slaves to the top-down collectivist model.


In summary:

Everything the socialist's/Marxists do is to create more poverty, reduce the ability to be mobile and the ability to protect your God given rights. The Man-Made Global Warming lie is another example of the attempt to control the populace. By artificially removing your ability to be self-sufficient they create massive poverty and dependence.

They have created an activist class of people who do as they are told and have little ability to cognitively think for themselves. This has always been a long game approach to the control and enslavement of people.

I agree with most of this, but the Marx's goal was not more poverty but to strip the rich of their wealth and make sure no wealthy class redevelops by eliminating all private property and controlling all means of production. (We see this manifested in the leftist doctrines of 'make the rich pay their fair share'--the top 10% already pay 71% of federal income taxes but the initiative is for the government to control more and more of land/businesses/means of production.)

Ultimately there is complete equality and a totally classless society. When that is achieved everybody will share and share alike, there will be no poverty, and all will live together in a perfect utopia of harmony and happiness.

Of course Marx didn't take into account human nature in which no reward for the productive and no consequence for the lazy results in poverty for all. And he couldn't see the truth born out in history that those who achieve power in the totalitarian stage of Marxism never are willing to voluntarily give that up.

The Marxist ideology of goals achieved through total government initiative/control is reflected in all the items on Stephens list however.

Here is what Democrats said they were going to do with health care before they passed Obamacare



1. It will cost more

2. It will keep people alive less to reduce costs.

And as we look around, we see this coming to pass.

Think about this just for one minuet.

We have recently rationed baby formula. We are now rationing heating fuels and gas. How soon before we ration food, water, and other necessities? This is what they wanted to happen, a collapse. and they caused it intentionally.

Do you really think Democrats want that? Or are they just so misguided that their ideology is heading us in that direction?

The collectivist model, of which Marxism is, has two classes of people. The uber rich who hold their political beliefs and the servant class who may or may not hold that same belief. They cannot have a middle class. this would give people hope that they could escape poverty. This is why they are desperately trying to kill that class of people.

In order to reset the system into a top-down Marxist model, you must kill all hope. So yes, it is by design.

First, let me say that the emphasis ought to be on the Democratic Party (DP) as a group rather than Joe Biden, who IMHO is a follower rather than a leader that finds himself in a leadership position but still needs somebody to tell him what to do and which direction to charge in. He's never been all that smart, but he is beclowning himself almost daily with the things he says. Which makes me think other people are pulling his strings but he gets the words wrong; he's like a lineman in football, where somebody else calls the plays and all he does is block or tackle somebody on the other side. So, I focus on the DP instead of Biden.

Is the DP destroying the economy and weakening America on purpose? Mostly I think not, the majority of them want cleaner air and water and they want to preclude the climate change/global warming threat to the existence of humanity that they have been convinced is at least possible if not certain. And so, their fear leads them to accept the policies that the DP leadership offers them without question. The cost and the efficacy are ignored, as is the collateral damage that could result to millions of Americans that are in no position to deal with it. The media, academia, and Hollywood among others bear some responsibility for this overreaction; the hysteria overcomes the wisdom of calm thought and prudent action, and the economy and the country as a whole are weakened from what could have been.

Some of that is due to greed on the part of those who will benefit, including democrat politicians who want to get re-elected. They probably take for granted that whatever riches they obtain from their fraud or theft won't make a difference, but collectively and over time it does kind add up. The pols convince themselves that even if they realize their policies are not in the best interests of the people that life will go on as before without consequence their misdeeds. Ditto the crooks making big money off of the gov't largesse, what's a few hundred million out if a $5 trillion budget?

And maybe there are some whose goal may actually be the weakening of America. I do not believe we should discount the activities of our enemies: the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and others who would delight in our destruction. Their influence may not be that great though, cuz we are already pretty good at screwing up this country by ourselves. No doubt there are many of us who believe that a large, controlling gov't is a good thing, even if our individual rights and liberties are forfeit. I don't think they realize how short and slippery that path is to a totalitarian gov't. The end justifies the means they say, knowing full well that they are not the ones who will suffer the most in the 'Transforming of America'. It's so easy to spend someone else's money, isn't it?

Politicians on average are just corrupt and not that bright or just a flat out sociopath.

When I say not that bright, I mean they are sometimes dumb as rocks or they are only gifted when it comes to theft and corruption, but have no real common sense or wisdom to help others in need. As a result, you get what you have today, which is a government body mixture of sociopaths, morons, and morally corrupt individuals who just virtue signal regarding pretty much every societal ill they demagogue about.

They have no soul.

That would be the neo-Marxists of today. It was not what Marx himself advocated.
