It would be nice if worldwide debt was only $300 billion. I think you meant Trillion.

I just paid $95 for 3/4 tank of gas, so I'm getting used to big numbers now. I don't have the vocabulary to describe $700 trillion. Insane, maybe.

A dollar bill is .0043 inches thick. A stack of 700 trillion dollar bills is 47.5 million miles high and would take about 22 million years to count at the rate of one second per bill (assuming I did not make a math error)!

Question the narrative & you will get censored, that’s the easiest way to discern fact from fiction. What they label disinformation is in fact the truth.

Any election that allows postal voting is likely to be fraudulent. In the UK the most convictions for electoral fraud are based on postal votes.

Is there anything more corrupt, or corruptible, than science?

Perhaps only the love of money.

But money is satiable. Power is not. And Science has always been the foil of the powerful.

Many if not most of the perpetrators of the global carnage we are witnessing, economic and otherwise, have more money than they can spend in a lifetime. It is more Power they are after, power over you and me and the entire world. They have 5 big tools in their tool chest: Media, Money, Public Health, Technology, and technology’s servant: Science.

Elizabeth is quoted by Bill saying, "Autos competed with horse drawn carriages…iPhones competed with the pony express… central heating had to prove itself in competition with open fires."

Well, I just attended an Amish wedding up in my mountain valley and the autos were well outnumbered by the horse drawn carriages; news was shared via word of mouth and paper newspapers printed in Pennsylvania Dutch and there was no cell service for any modern electronics devices; and the home/barn/workshops are all headed by a coal burning furnace in the basements of the buildings.

Proof that hard physical work, living off the produce of your land, and avoiding modern devices and time wasting stories of Johnny and Amber will still result in living better/healthier and on more valuable property than that produced by the modern world and our government elites.

Lot's of Amish near me and I've used one Amish carpenter several times. They aren't allowed an answering machine in house so he had one out in a shed. I had to call and leave a message at the ' phone shed '.... He would use a phone of a non Amish friend to return my call.

! 'they'ARE 'burning' dissentors - Julian Assauge ; all who have lost jobs due to their personal VIEWS; all who have died from the JAB(s ) and will succumb to illness because of shattered immune systems; here now all are living in exceptionally distopian planet while witnessing genocide against the unruly masses . . . . .

Julian Assange's imprisonment and torture tells you all you need to know about the state of the world we currently reside in. Americans celebrate his heroic acts while U.S. Citizens detest him as he thoroughly embarrassed their corrupt leaders and institutions. They say Truth eventually prevails, but so far Statolatry is holding its own.

Bill, there is a solution. Declare a JUBILEE YEAR! It is absolutely "old school", but it worked in the old days. And everyone continued on with their life. Some got skinned and some got skint, but it worked cause the Bible said it did.

The investor elite designed to over use this resource intense system to failure. The resources needed are now declining in value and availability requiring increasing amounts of energy to utilize. This social/economic system will fail very soon, it can not possibly recover as the easy to obtain resources are long gone, having flared up this century of frivolous pursuit. Harder to obtain resources will not increase easy living, and all those who rely on money will all fail too.

And no, I don't expect small holder natural food growers to even accept Gold for the food they are growing for themselves.

Either grow food for yourself or eat bugs, that's the choice even those stupid investor elite will have to make..

Bravo Bill! Thank you for injecting a bit of humor into a serious subject. Swift would be proud! Oh, the sweet irony. A wealthy white man griping about a system set up by wealthy white men for wealthy white men. This is exactly who the Founding Fathers were. Excellent relevancy; we all can identify with Mr. Bruno who lived 400 years ago under a monarchy when the Church could hang or burn anyone they wanted to without objection. Just like now, right? An analogy that almost makes one laugh out loud. BREAKING NEWS: For over 5,000 years, the haves ( the elite ) have always been hated by the have-nots. That's why much of this piece could be used by AOC as a fundraising letter and might be. This is the danger of satire; many people erroneously think the satire is serious. That's always the risk that bold and brave take. But, your regular readers know when you're being funny and when you're not. Thank you for the laughs. Brilliant!

Bill and Elizabeth, Maybe we can't figure the Davos group out,because they have cut a deal with the Devil for more money ,power and control.Do we cut our own deal with the devil to fight them and win or lose.Option 2,round them up and burn them at the stake.Option 3 continue on the positive spiritual road and let them bury themselves.Thanks

I believe the Catholic Church is returning to the 16th century joining the elites of the world. I just received an email from the US Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) to encourage my congregational representatives to pass new gun laws. These are the same people that said religious services were not essential during the pandemic at the request of globalist governments. Don’t they realize that denying “people of good will” to have the freedom to possess guns will soon result in the loss of freedom of religion, or do they.

First and foremost, “We don’t talk about Bruno” no no no!!! 😂

There is nothing happening economically and globally that threatens the stability of the world stock markets YET. It’s brewing, but on low to medium heat right now. We are still having breakfast, and boiled frog soup dinner will have to wait a while. All of the negative data out there amounts to a pile of bunk. Nothing real, in the sense of a market crash. War, famine, pestilence, and death riding on ponies is real, but they are not strong enough to crash the markets YET.

Normal day for the markets. No red flags or ominous signs. Keep on trucking for now. 😀

Here's the good news. Even though the fed will continue to print money, we will not have to haul it around in wheelbarrows as they used to do in Germany. We have 2.125 X 3.375 inch pieces of plastic that will handle as many "ones" and "zeros" you can throw at it.

The conclusion of the cancel woke culture will parallel the atrocities of the Inquisition.

Note the typo, world wide debt is $300 trillion.

Divide and conquer is truly an effective strategy. Both Tribes would be extinct if they hadn't employed this strategy. Results don't matter when your constituency is comprised of useful idiots. Most of the big issues we're dealing with currently were birthed during the last progressive era. It's a tall order, but I'm confident the current crop of progressive dullards can finally kill off Lady Liberty. I'll have little patience hearing this phrase from the useful idiots: "you don't know what you have until its gone."

If every debt has a creditor, then who is owed all these trillions? Somebody or something is very rich!
