Maybe globalism wasn't such a great idea after all. Chinese stuff is cheap for a reason. How about bringing manufacturing of QUALITY merchandise (and pharmaceuticals) back to the USA?
I agree. I read https://www.amazon.com/Bottle-Lies-Inside-Story-Generic/dp/0062338781 and was horrified. Many generic/off label drugs are polluted with contaminants and lacking in quality ingredients. The majority are made in India or China by companies who open flout regulations or even worse, show contempt for any quality control at all. And that doesn't take into account the CCP's relentless weaponization of every industry, including healthcare.
I follow some American medical preppers recommending fish antibiotics from reputable companies. There is a huge market need for safe, affordable medical supplies.
Here in Oz we are concerned about the potential withdrawal of vital pharmacy drugs like AB's unless your digital ID says you've been jabbed.
I'd really like to see people supporting the rebuilding of a new economy like https://x.com/JonathanMcPike work together with health reform groups. We need to produce our own drugs, herbs and medical equipment. New technologies like 3D printing and robotics could be used far more widely.
A startup weekend bringing together interested players would be wonderful. I'm a director on the group https://wowintl.org/. I'd jump on a plane and come to America for a conference like that and I know others that would as well.
This recalls the fall of the American car industry. People began buying to buy foreign cars because they got more for their money. They were cheaper.
Americans, without unlimited money, shop on price. In this age of our government debasing the currency, people are even more hard-pressed. I confess I shop at Walmart and Aldi supermarket.
Quality merchandise will continue to be outsold by cheap merchandise. Seems that Asian economies are positioned to control that market.
Sorry, just wishful thinking. The tariffs will just result in trans-shipments through other countries like Vietnam and India to get around the tariffs. It's already happening which means we collect no extra tariffs plus consumers pay more. China is a manufacturing powerhouse and no way we can bring it back unless you want all prices doubling or tripling.
A good assessment of what is transpiring and is being accelerated by the war mongers! Where are all the peace keepers? Where are the religious leaders? All afraid of speaking up?
I still have not gone back to listen to the last half. I find Jeffry irritating because his knowledge has never enlightened his positions on life, liberty and the pursuit of personal property. He is all about sustainable development and economic development.
Jeffrey Sachs is an expert in economics and extremely knowledgeable about foreign relations. He was in Russia meeting with top officials when they declared the end of the Soviet Union. He also understands the complexity of the Ukrainian conflict and how to negotiate an end to the war.
Yup, heard all that. He also has met with the heretic Pope Francis. He let his thoughts be known on a US president only in office for a few months in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhyD-fPS0vs (interview with Sachs)
Take note of the viewer's comments posted below the video - they agree with you. The link to this video was saved in the Agenda21/30 section of As A Mom website, posted in April 2017. We at AAM keep track of everything antithetical to America. Have been since O took office.
During Dubya’s Torture Administration the religious leaders were mostly silent, or even supportive. Today religious leaders of the Christian variety are enthusiastic about the genocide by Israel. What can be inferred by that? The Pope pushed the bioweapons. Religious leadership in the country appears to be immoral.
Perhaps a belief that the 'chosen people' are still the chosen people and Christ was a Jew.
'Lifesitenews' is a Christian website, Catholic actually, and it only reports the current facts without weighing in. You might think that not doing so it support but I don't think so.
Yes, I'm familiar with Lifesitenews. They have done great work during the Scamdemic.
As for me, I would like someone like that to "weigh in". Are we (and religious leaders) supposed to pretend there is nothing to talk about in the secular world? If the religious leaders (and many individuals including family for me) support Bibi's genocide, what can be inferred?
I have a really hard time being concerned about importing less from china since I never believed we should be so heavily invested there in the first place. And much of what comes here from there is such poor quality another source (US maybe?) would be nice.
Besides Watergate and the exit from Vietnam, getting in bed with china was another monumental blunder via "nixon". You don't feed the tiger that wants to eat you.
Watergate was intel agency entrapment. Another coup by the deep state.
Are you calling the exit of Vietnam a blunder? The deep state throws tantrums when forced to leave wars they never want to end. Same thing happened with Afghanistan.
And the choice to send almost all of America's manufacturing to China was a decision well above Nixon's pay grade.
Trumped up charges against Agnew too, so their CFR person Ford could be installed before the Nixon take down. Congress was behind (corporate $$ donors) the writing of new regulations making it lucrative to corporations to take their production overseas. And what did the WTO ever do to stop China's abuse of the system and Bush 41 giving China permanent normal trading relations with the US. They are all in China now pocketing excess $ and worshiping the McKenzie group who found them cheap labor and a billion plus buyers.
I have never believed the USG's pretense that their expectation was China dropping communism.
My point exactly. Same as Afghanistan. A travesty. Nixon opened the door to relations with china. As with our "government" today, someone else offering lots of money most likely made the decision.
If nixon wasn't guilty, why did he resign? Both parties were doing it, he just got caught.
And then there was the creation of the EPA which we will think fondly of as we suffer the heat this summer during brownouts and freezing our butts off next winter
Micheal, you forgot eco-nomic/eco-friendly thrones that require a double tap (sometimes 😊) to achieve the same level of performance as the previous models for an additional increase of 50% more water usage. [I also think they clog easier - but ( 🤔 butt?) that could just be me]
I agree 100%. It's always been about the money to be made by the military contactors and the "politicians" they buy to initiate these unnecessary wars. Lets not forget the media who maliciously and knowingly sold those lies to "we the people".
Sacrificing the lives American men, women and millions of innocent civilians in the name of democracy was a means to and end, as always. Using our tax dollars to pay for it was of no concern to the dc establishment. This time, the war is against America and its citizens. It was always about power and .money.
I believe it is a disservice to label supply and demand price rises as “inflation”. Inflation is the expansion of the currency supply in excess of the pace of productivity growth. This erodes the relative value of the currency. It then takes more fiat to purchase the same goods.
Both inflation and shortages/ transportation bottlenecks result in higher prices. But we need to be accurate and hold our corrupted government who robs us by debasing the currency through printing $= inflation for most of the price increases we are facing.
FYI, the shift of goods away from America started -- a lot of work went into this -- under the Clinton administration. To enable this it was FIRST necessary to weaken our Patent and Trademark Laws. Which was hard to do, because the right to own property of the mind was embedded in our Constitution -- Article One, Section 8.
The battle was hard fought in Congress -- with the media being silent -- for many years. Long story short,-- in the end, America lost. Greed prevailed. It was cheaper and easier for CEOs to license to China or Japan than to build the infrastructure and goods in the US of A, Greed prevailed.
Evidence of this sell out -- to favor outsourcing -- is scant. One article that remains (there may be others, but I wrote this one) is The Patent Wars, by John D. Trudel. It appeared in the special 70th anniversary issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact that was published in January 2000.
If it would be useful, send me an email address, and I will send you a pdf file.
Walmart stands as an interesting example. Old Sam Walton insisted that as much as they could they were American made only. After he died the new broom dictated that entrepreneurs wishing to have their newly developed merchandise sold at Walmart must have it made china to lower its cost.
The article I referenced was written during a time of my career when I was working as a Management Consultant to High Tech firms. My company was The Trudel Group and clients included Tektronix (I worked for Tek for many years), Intel, IBM, HP, etc.
The premier Management Consultant at the time was the famous well published Dr. Peter Drucker. Drucker was in his 90s, as I recall, but still going around giving warning messages -- tethered to an oxygen tank. The result: Drucker lost all his large corporate clients.

The (Obama III) Biden regime (it's not an administration as it wasn't duly-elected) continues to poke bears - to the degree that it must be intentional:
1) Domestically poking the MAGA bear - e.g., Trump verdict and possible jailing of him - presumably hoping for someone(s) to do something kinetic - whether genuine or to a false-flag - thus reprising the "insurrection" shtick;
2) Russia (now authorizing strikes within its homeland), and continued escalation of the types of our weaponry sent there;

In this case, Taiwan might be the Pearl Harbor, with us providing a pretext for the CCP (whether valid or not).
All three potentially escalating to require the attention of our military, Our depleted military - arguably more "hollowed out" than when Jimmy Carter was President. Ammunition stocks seriously low (thanks to Ukraine); woke instead of warrior leadership; vax-injured personnel.

Agree with your 1,2,3 Tom. There are so many ways to bring about destruction and OBiden has been using many with more to come I'm sure. Zelenskyy outlawed elections cause, you know, there is a war on. Biden best not try that here by escalating the world into WWIII.
I don’t think there will be elections in November. I m sure a reason to declare a national emergency is coming - foreign or civil war, another PlanDemic, engineered climate catastrophe or some scheme they are cooking up right now.
I remember thinking that it 2016, that O might try some national emergency . . . they would not let 2016 happen again so we got an installation, so yeah, I understand your thinking and many other's as well.
It's Obama pulling the strings. And it's difficult to predict what an evil mind will do in the future. Look at how many stunning events we've had since the 2020 steal.
It seems a defining characteristic of globalism: the ability of sanctimonious governments to insert themselves into problems on the other side of the world. Isolationism, globalists have always told us, is demonstrably bad.
To me the idea of "country" includes this: We have a clearly defined sphere of influence and self-determination, and it is with that that we concern ourselves.

Nor do we bankrupt ourselves by immersion into failures and problems not of our own creation. It's a fantasy, I know, that requires ignorance of our IC's history of meddling and dirty tricks around the world; a history to which we awaken when such is turned on its own host.

Nice day here. Hope you'll be able to get out and enjoy your homesteading and many creatures!
Primary cause of inflation is federal government overspending and the endless creation of money, which is directly related to an out of control federal government that has usurped powers the Constitution does not grant it. For instance the federal government has no power over health and health issues, but yet we have a huge, expensive Department of Health and Human Services which has almost innumerable subagencies and employees; Medicare, Medicaid and “Obamacare”; the federal government has no power over education, but yet we have innumerable grants to colleges and universities, federally subsidized student loans (which the current occupant of the White House believes he has the power to forgive in spite of a recent decision from our Supreme Court); the list of federal usurpation of powers goes on and on and the cost to taxpayers in taxes and inflation continues to escalate at an accelerating rate. The federal government needs to be stripped of its usurped powers with those powers returned to the states and the people. Ironically one of the powers granted to the federal government, specifically Congress, is the power to coin and regulate the value of money, yet they gave that power away to the private consortium of banks known as the “Federal” Reserve in violation of the Constitution. The “Federal” Reserve also needs to be eliminated. The currency printing presses need to be moth-balled.
As to China and other foreign nations with which we trade; as a nation we cannot fairly trade with other nations that do not meet similar clean air, clean water and labor standards as enforced here. Before the income tax became law here in the United States the federal government’s budget revenue came partly, if not primarily from tariffs. Those tariffs made the manufacture of goods profitable here, creating wealth and jobs for hundreds of thousands of citizens and newly arriving immigrants.
Every cargo ship sailing the oceans and seas displaces water, huge amounts of water. The number of cargo ships and their carrying capacities has increased dramatically; coincidently with the reports of alleged rising sea levels.
We have no business being involved in the corrupt cesspool known as Ukraine. It’s past time to bring all our troops and military equipment home. Hypocritically the same government officials calling for a cease fire between Hamas and Israel refuse to call for a cease fire and negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia.
There is a reason why the billionaires are building underground bunkers. The problem with Russia using tactical nuclear weapons is it will start a chain reaction all over the world.
Dr. Malone, with all due respect this post is a bit of a bark up the wrong tree. Punitive tariffs on chinese imports are a good thing - it's time we stopped supporting a hostile commie regime by buying chinese sh*t!
The REAL issue is that our incompetent governments have, once again, brought in punitive measures without giving people any options. Our manufacturing should have been repatriated or friend-shored years, if not decades ago. That has not happened, at least not on a scale that would make a difference.
Inflation grew 15-18% per year under Carter and interest rates hit 22%. We moved to OR in 1979 and purchased our third home with an outrageous interest rate and moved back to the Midwest in 1982 purchasing our fourth home with another high interest rate. We dropped some thousands in a CD with a great interest rate. Funny how those rates can be both bad and good. It took Reagan several years to tamp down inflation. It won’t happen again unless the right person is sitting in the WH come January next year.
Is anybody listening that matters or is this news only for the "deaf, dumb and blind". The people that it will hit the hardest don't seem to be paying attention. The upper middle class are too involved in their comfort, will there be gnashing of teeth? You bet. The credit card debt is already over the top, just gotta keep up, just gotta keep up must be the mantra. Being my age has its advantages, I need very little to subsist and survive, let alone thrive.
I have edited this substack to add a voiceover.
I like the voice overs. Thank you
Maybe globalism wasn't such a great idea after all. Chinese stuff is cheap for a reason. How about bringing manufacturing of QUALITY merchandise (and pharmaceuticals) back to the USA?
I completely agree. and yes, we need to start with OTC and prescription drug supplies!
I agree. I read https://www.amazon.com/Bottle-Lies-Inside-Story-Generic/dp/0062338781 and was horrified.

Do we only have hawks in DC?
No we have pols making big bucks on insider trading
With few exceptions, we also have traitors, sellouts and criminals.
Tucker's interview with Dr. Jeffrey Sachs is worthwhile, offering intelligent background to our Deep State's suicidal lunacy.
I still have not gone back to listen to the last half. I find Jeffry irritating because his knowledge has never enlightened his positions on life, liberty and the pursuit of personal property. He is all about sustainable development and economic development.
I have previously marveled at how such smart people were so late in waking up to the COVID fraud. But I give him credit for sincere intentions.

It seems like the doctors I follow don't want to talk about the genocide in Gaza. Wonder why?
Hamas has tunnels into Egypt for refuge so they can fight again. So, the plan is to push Gaza into the sea .
Solve the issue. Doesn’t stop the mantra” Eradicate all Jews! A never ending dilemma! Sad that we can’t stop killing humans.

I didn't say Nixon was innocent. He fell into a trap the agencies sprung on him. Media coverage from people like Woodward was part of the operation.
Can you imagine the tantrum we have coming when they get dragged out of the Ukraine?
That trap sounds familiar. I have seen that trap so many times in my 70+ years. Until 2016, I was too "busy" and too ignorant to know or recognize it.
Would not ha e happened with a closed china.
And then there was the creation of the EPA which we will think fondly of as we suffer the heat this summer during brownouts and freezing our butts off next winter
Well, must admit UN's Agenda 2030, which this Admin bows to, is a cause as well.
Seems the head of the snake(un) has slivered out in the open.

The monumental blunder was not getting out of Vietnam. It was going in there in the 1st place.

Inflation predicted to rise is a sign that things are going to get worse for the population. I wrote about this back (https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-federal-reserves-plan-for-inflation) but this financial attack is a clear side of Democide, when the government looks to cull its population: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/democide-and-menticide

Dr. Malone, with all due respect this post is a bit of a bark up the wrong tree. Punitive tariffs on chinese imports are a good thing - it's time we stopped supporting a hostile commie regime by buying chinese sh*t!
The REAL issue is that our incompetent governments have, once again, brought in punitive measures without giving people any options. Our manufacturing should have been repatriated or friend-shored years, if not decades ago. That has not happened, at least not on a scale that would make a difference.
Maybe our gov't is more wily than incompetent. It all depends on what their goal is.
That's a very good point Leonora! It all may well be part of the plan...
Inflation grew 15-18% per year under Carter and interest rates hit 22%. We moved to OR in 1979 and purchased our third home with an outrageous interest rate and moved back to the Midwest in 1982 purchasing our fourth home with another high interest rate. We dropped some thousands in a CD with a great interest rate. Funny how those rates can be both bad and good. It took Reagan several years to tamp down inflation. It won’t happen again unless the right person is sitting in the WH come January next year.
Is anybody listening that matters or is this news only for the "deaf, dumb and blind". The people that it will hit the hardest don't seem to be paying attention. The upper middle class are too involved in their comfort, will there be gnashing of teeth? You bet. The credit card debt is already over the top, just gotta keep up, just gotta keep up must be the mantra. Being my age has its advantages, I need very little to subsist and survive, let alone thrive.
Effective psyops? The media providing the messages leaderships want heard?
