Michael Snyder: "There are highly qualified [unemployed] people that can’t even get an interview even though they are sending out hundreds and hundreds of resumes. What are they doing wrong? They aren’t doing anything wrong. The employment market is far tighter than we are being led to believe, and that isn’t going to change any time soon."
"The elite are trying to do their best to convince us that everything is just fine, but meanwhile the Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators has now
fallen for 19 months in a row…"
"Right now, there are only 6.5 million U.S. adults that are officially considered to be “unemployed”.
"But another 99.9 million U.S. adults are considered to be “not in the labor force”. So they don’t count as being “unemployed”. When you add those two numbers together, you get a grand total of 106.4 million U.S. adults that do not have a job right now."
At no point during the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 did that number get anywhere close to that.
Below: observe the data from Shadowstats.com, and check in with them from time to time when you question the dishonest government and media numbers. If inflation was measured the way that it was back in 1980, the official rate of inflation would be well into double digit territory. If honest numbers were being used for unemployment, the official rate would be about 25 percent right now.
Here's a list compiled by Open Source Defense:
Repeal Bush 41’s assault weapon import ban
Redefine “armor-piercing ammo” to re-allow banned ammo types
Redefine 922(r) out of existence
Bring back kitchen table FFLs, and make a new internet-sales FFL (this is in the 2017 ATF white paper)
Repeal the photos and fingerprints parts of ATF Rule 41F (an Obama-era rule change), so that trusts don’t need photos and fingerprints for their members. (Careful here: Rule 41F also changed “you need CLEO approval” to “you just need to notify your CLEO, but they can’t stop you” — that was a very important positive change to keep.)
Expansive allowance for pistol braces. Make it official that anything goes.
Grant a blanket lawful purposes exemption for gun possession to people in the country on nonimmigrant visas (tourists, students, etc.)
Machine gun amnesty
Presumptive approvals for Form 1s and Form 4s. They approve it instantly, and then can claw it back ...
“It is impossible to maintain an integrated multivalent society once neighbors start kidnapping each other's children and murdering them with hand drills, blowing up each other's cultural events, slaying each other's teachers and religious leaders and tearing down their icons. Crucially, it is soberingly worth noting, moreover, that plenty of instances of all those things have occurred already in the West, and all of them have occurred in France alone in the last five years.”
David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at King's College London.
Dr. Betz does not mention crimes of rape, perhaps because in France it is so enormously underreported. Only ~6% of victims report to authorities, because of fear of being blamed and charged with Islamophobia or other “hate crime.” Based on these few reported accusations, rape by migrants in France exceeds 10,000 cases in the last five years. Multiply that by the 94% non-reported cases. Sometimes there are witnesses. In ...
The theologian Robert Dabney, in writing against public education, claimed that the half-educated man is worse than the man without any education, for the latter at least knows his ignorance and will look to his betters humbly for guidance, whereas the former thinks he’s educated and proceeds without caution into abject foolishness.
Fast, dumb AI catering to the impatient risks creating a society of not half-educated but entirely pseudo-educated people whose self-appraisal of what they know will reach historic lows proportional to what they actually know.
