Time to ring out the old economic paradigm and ring in the new one.

Linked below is a bombshell article about the US (and by extension, world) economy, or rather what is left of it. Kindly read it and my commentary below the link.

An outmoded graphic; it only goes up to 2005

In the old US (and much of Europe, for the most part) and its old economy, your economic success was tied to your energy, intelligence, ingenuity and risk-taking willingness, and also to your integrity and willingness to sacrifice yourself at times for your clients. In the new economy, that paradigm has dwindled and is being lost, especially the last part, integrity.

The people who run our world are truly destroying this whole system and taking us back to the feudalism of the Middle Ages, where precious few owned it all and the rest broke their backs working for them. What we now have all around us running the economy are not entrepreneurs but a bunch of con artists, who are taking America apart piece by piece, à la Goldmann-Sachs, with the government’s blessing and with taxpayer assistance. They aren’t doing this through the free market, as the Left assumes, and they aren’t necessarily doing it entirely through oversized government, as the Right proclaims. Rather, they are accomplishing their wanton destruction through a partnership between government and business that cuts out newcomers and creates a static society.

This is the same system Mussolini developed. It was called fascism then. You are welcome to call it that today as well, although many are calling it “corporatism.” Whatever you call it, it is destroying your savings, your income, your buying power, and you and your family. If America is still standing today it is by the sheer grace of God. But don’t expect Him to keep helping those who will not help themselves!

Under the old paradigm, if you pointed out that the richest 1% control two thirds of the wealth (according to #48 below, that is true!), conservatives would blast you for saying that, claiming you were envious. Some die hards are still saying that.

But envy is no longer the operative term. The term today is survival, as you will see from this eye-opening article (link courtesy of Steph Jasky of FedUpUSA).

The old (freedom) paradigm:

Business and government were separate and we were free to be prosperous.

The new (slavery) paradigm:

Business is stifling the economy by teaming up with government.

Government is stifling the economy by teaming up with business.

Solution:

Never vote for a Democrat, even for dog catcher, and never vote for a RINO, even for dog catcher. Educate yourself as to who the RINOs are. As you dig deeper, you will be surprised how many “conservatives” aren’t. Get involved, fight for economic freedom and an end to the banker-controlled autocracy supported by corrupt government. Spread the word. Time is running out.
