Make Guillotines Great Again

 

It would seem that young people increasingly see socialism as preferable to capitalism these days because for years they have been indoctrinated by left wing professors and the legacy left media mouthpieces, promoting the Mandamis, AOCs, Bernies and Pocahontases of the world. It doesn’t matter that the socialist/communist agenda has a 100% proven record of being erroneous and economically disastrous anywhere on earth it has been implemented, with millions of dead as proof. The truth is we have not experienced true free market capitalism since the unholy conception of the Federal Reserve and initiation of the Federal income tax in 1913.

“The top 10% of US households now hold 87% of all US stocks owned by households, with the top 1% alone owning 50%. By comparison, the remaining 90% hold just 13%, while the bottom 50% hold only 1%. The wealth gap has never been bigger.” ~ from the Kobeissi Letter

The accusations regarding who is responsible are predictable, endless, and mostly wrong. The “tax the rich” crowd are loud and ignorant of facts, but that doesn’t stop them from bloviating and screaming shrilly on the left wing media channels. The top 10% aren’t the problem. They constitute the entrepreneurial class, who open new businesses and hire employees. Most of the top 1% are also hard working creators of wealth. It’s the .01% globalist billionaire class who are mainly to blame for the economic shitstorm brewing on the horizon.

Those in the top 10%, who own all of the stocks and businesses, along with most of the real estate, feel little or no pity for the bottom 50%. They think they are lazy, ignorant and stupid, and in many cases, that is an accurate assessment. But there are millions of hard working people in the bottom 50% who are there because the .01% like it that way. George Carlin’s famous rant captures the reality of their situation:

“They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that.

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money.”

A very tiny contingent of psychopathic pedophile billionaires and their cadre of well compensated legions of apparatchiks placed within the government, media, universities, finance industry, “think” tanks and fake “charitable” foundations, believe the bottom 50% are nothing more than mouth breathing parasites., worthless eaters that can be replaced by AI and robots.

The causes of revolution are always the same: 1) A privileged elite class reap all the wealth while pissing on the lower classes; 2) The lower and middle classes are taxed to the point of poverty; 3) The government increases debt to an unsustainable, unpayable level; 4) wasteful military adventures drain the Treasury; 5) rampant government corruption; 6) societal discontent & chaos; 7) economic/financial crisis. All the dominoes are lined up, just waiting for the trigger flick which will start the cascade of consequences. Fourth Turnings never fizzle out. They build to a crescendo of violent upheaval with clear winners and losers.

The real question is who is to blame? It is certainly not the top 10%, or even the top 1%. Whether you refer to them as the ruling elite, oligarchy, globalist cabal, or satanic psychopaths, they constitute only a fraction of the 1%. There are approximately 3,000 billionaires in the world, with about a third of them in the U.S. That means they make up about .0003% of the U.S. population and an even smaller percentage of the 8.2 billion global population. Many of these billionaires are just the children or spouses of men who accumulated that wealth. That leaves a few hundred men meeting the criteria of psychopaths in suits, with totalitarian tendencies, ensconced with a heaping helping of greed, thirst for power, and desire to rule the world, but do not lose sight of the fact that the common folk of this country own over 300 million firearms. If or when they feel they have nothing left to lose, the protected privileged classes should start to worry. Their gated palaces and hihg-paid security will not protect them from the consequences of their actions. We may decided to Make Guillotines Great Again.
