The Trump supporters are increasingly angry about the election rigging
and the massive censorship of conservative voices.

The Democrats are increasingly desperate. They've already sent an
army of over 100 lawyers to Maricopa Country Az to stop that audit.
And now the Justice Dept is launching a full-scale attack on the audit
process with the full force of the Biden administration.

The results of the Maricopa audit are expected in early August. If
the DoJ finds a way to stop the audit, then there will be a furious
reaction from the 75 million Trump supporters, and there will be
aggressive changes at the state level - which is already occurring
anyway.

If the audits prove that Trump should have won, it will be a political
disaster for the Democrats, but it will not flip the presidency, since
the results have already been certified.

This is a huge strength of America's federal system, and one of the
reasons why America's constitutional government is possibly the most
stable in history. Obviously, this is a big contrast to Cuba and
China.

According to Jonathan Turley, the Supreme Court has scheduled a series
of cases where they have a 9-0 vote, in order to show the leftist
loons that they have nothing to gain by packing the Supreme Court.
However, there are some really big split decisions expected in the
next week.

This is again an advantage of America's federal system. Critical race
theory is an indocrination system like the ones used in Cuba and
China, but now people at the local level are turning against it.

One of the ironic results of the pandemic is that it closed down the
schools and forced at-home learning (for people who can afford it).
So what happened is that parents were able to watch the online
sessions with their kids and see what was actually being taught, which
they found shocking. Some school districts tried to pass "laws"
making it illegal for parents to watch along with their children, but
that didn't work. Tsk tsk.

Yeah, that's really funny. Obama used to be called the greatest gun
salesman in the world.

Great, informative post.

2022 will be an inflection point in the "last stand" category of American history.
Yes, our last stand.
In other words: civil war.

So you think there will be deflation?
Yes, once the economic crisis hits I believe we will very rapidly move into serious deflation. This is the basic/simplistic explanation (I think it will be more complex than that), but the overriding attribute will be deflation, just as explained in the article I quoted.

The final straw that leads to the economic crisis will mostly likely be some aspect of the Biden administration's fiscal plans. Once they decide on tax hikes, for example, every financial advisor is going to tell their clients to sell significant portions of their stocks this year to lock in the gains at significantly lower tax rates. Once this starts, it will trigger a cascade that could well result in the kind of downturn predicted by many here.

Sounds like the banks don't want it because it gives people greater access to their money - oh, excuse me, I forgot that when you deposit your money it's not yours anymore, you trade it for I.O.U.s. Maybe this is a good idea after all.

I keep telling people that the media, swamp and culture overall in America is so bad the only resort left if you want to have a nation not totally demonic is via violence.

No one will actually listen to that until they feel they have little to lose anymore, and most boomers and older are hoping the government holds up so they can keep getting the free shit and world reserve bonus life they've had, though they robbed the future and still do.

This is a good analysis and quite likely. Navigator is correct in that if we see a big market draw down, the generational demographic of the 55+ year olds will further push the deflationary trend, and possibly to a breaking point. If they don't have their "retirement" they buy nothing, they wait even longer, etc - yes that is all deflationary, I agree.

Yes, but as Richard Werner has predicted, and this will happen, banks will go away entirely except the central bank. There will be no need for them once each person has an account at the FED, and the control mechanisms possible with that reality are amazing and scary. Yet another reason why BTC is so important for the world.

Because Bitcoin has demonstrated that it's possible to program a virtual currency which can be "mined" in finite numbers, this development mean that we may be (finally) going back to sound money.

But on the other hand, it also means that the system of checks and balances between the private and public sectors is in danger. And that we're headed for a financial tyranny much worse than what we have now.
