Bright Brief - The Biden Depression

Don't Buy the Bull

In a recent Bright Brief, I dove into the FEDeral Reserve Bank (our favorite Deep State control mechanism,) and discussed my thoughts on the prospect that we might see attacks on the private, government-adjacent institution ramp up as the economy continued to decline heading into the fall.

On its face, that’s not a very bold claim. We’re in an election year, after all, and historically, incumbent parties that head into Midterm Elections without the public morale boost that comes on the back of a roaring—or even merely stable—economy fair less than well, losing approximate 30-40 House and Senate seats on average.

That’s before taking into account the enormous Red Wave/Tsunami implicit in Kari Lake’s recent victory in Arizona, another subject of the most popular Bright Brief thus far.

So, what made my FED take relatively unique, if we know the FED is—to be reductionist—'bad,’ and we know that patriots and a large portion of the electorate will be highly critical of it heading into the Midterms?

Because the substance of criticism for the Federal Reserve is less important than the source of said criticism. Many of us in this community understand that, in order to reach the reachable unawakened minds in this 5th Generational War, the opinions and therefore psychological reach of America First patriots such as Donald Trump and his allies only goes so far. That reach likely strengthens by the day, as moderate voters continue to have a serious case of buyer’s remorse—that is, assuming many moderates actually voted for the current ‘Admin,’—but still, the point remains; to reach the folks we need to reach to take meaningful ground in the Narrative, and thus, in public sentiment, the source of criticism must be taken into consideration.

This is why it is either a gross miscalculation for the Biden Administration and its defenders to publicly criticize the very financial institution they have used to strip the United States Dollar of much of its purchasing power over the last 18 months … or it’s a sign that [they] are running out of scapegoats to blame for their continued malfeasance, incompetence and barely-concealed corruption.

In short, the word is out, and the word is that the Federal Reserve’s reputation is on the chopping block by all factions—sovereign and globalist—in the ongoing war for the future of American society.

But even if the dreaded establishment turns fully on the FED, what happens next, from a narrative perspective?

Here, I think it’s worthwhile to get ahead of the next turn in economic messaging I expect out of Deep State proxies, that being the inevitable and ramping arguments concerning whether or not we are heading into a Depression, or whether we’re already there.

As we’ve seen with previous media and Biden Admin PR campaigns against the very concepts of ‘inflation’ and ‘recession,’ I believe we’re going to see the same thing with the coming Depression … something Donald Trump warned about in stark, sobering and confident detail leading into the 2020 election.

As for the details of their projected arguments, I think the most likely scenario is that the establishment will rally around the false hope narrative of falling consumer prices on big-ticket items, such as TV’s, computers, entertainment systems and furniture heading into the Holiday buying season. In other words, prices are likely about to fall dramatically for a lot of the ‘stuff’ in the American economy due to the stagflationary environment we find ourselves further mired in by the week.

Of course, the powers that would be will attempt to draw attention away from the fact that U.S. production (GDP) is falling drastically while the things that actually matter (food and energy) continue to rise in price. While the Biden Admin and its defenders won’t be lying when they say prices on consumer goods are falling, they may be less than honest about the reasons why, and the baseline reason that ‘things’ will start to get cheaper is the fact that the American people will have less purchasing power, with an increasing percentage of whatever purchasing power they do have going toward absolute essentials.

In short, the coming price cuts at all your favorite Big Box stores will be the first major sign that the Biden Depression is starting rather than ending.

Put another way, you might think about the flow of currency (the U.S. Dollar, in this case) as being indicative of underlying monetary energy. If you picture said currency as a river, you must also consider that water always seeks the path of least resistance en route to reaching its level. This is the same with currencies. Higher prices in a given economy either signifies lower production (resistance) or higher volume of currency (inflation.) When you get both at once, however, you get the 2022 Biden Economy.

When prices start to fall on consumer goods in such an environment, it is a clear signal that the inflated currency is losing both energy and momentum, as the path of least resistance for prices to take in a stagflationary—low production with high inflation/money supply—environment is downward.

That downward pressure on consumer prices—again, on the things that matter least to our survival—on the back end of a recession should be taken as an obvious sign that the house of cards is falling down, as happened during the Great Depression. Practically-speaking, this will be representative of the corporations and producers of such (largely) useless goods attempting to mitigate losses before a catastrophic collapse, since the consumer will already be tapped out.

If you picture the economy as a person, you might think of this downward consumer goods price spiral process as them taking one last hit of a wonder drug before it kills them.

So, when you see SALE SALE SALE signs on your local Big Box stores in the coming months, don’t fall for the bull in the ‘Bull Market’ narratives.

And, as I always argue, the narratives at work are the psychological moves and countermoves that bear watching most closely.

If you keep an eye on the economic news cycle, which is beginning to dominate entire fronts in the Mind War as it consumes the minds of stressed American citizens from the lower income ladders all the way up, I believe you’re going to see Trump and Trump-adjacent allies dial up Depression-themed rhetoric in the coming weeks as the economic headwinds turn powerful enough to send GDP, employment, consumer sentiment and any other spreadsheet banker terminology vastly negative.

This is to be expected. After all, if the current powers that would be are making mistakes, either through incompetence, ill intent or the base effects of losing a 5th Generational War via Game Theory, it makes sense for the opposing side to call attention to it, weakening support for the other side while growing it for their own.

That said, the real turn to watch out for will be for the current Controllers’ response to these intensifying attacks, as I believe that, in refuting claims that we have entered or are entering a Biden Depression to rival a certain ‘Great’ one our grandparents and great-grandparents might have witnessed in the past, they’re going to choose the lesser narrative evil in embracing the very Recession that simply didn’t exist a few weeks ago.

The thing is, every time the enemy denies a negative and apparent reality the American populace is facing, that populace finds it harder and harder to defend them. A lack of support and enthusiasm might initially take the form of disappointment—even apathy—in the reachable unawakened mind, but as these denied realities become more difficult to ignore, requiring increasingly-absurd spin out of the very leaders these folks either enthusiastically or grudgingly willed into power, apathy will turn to a simmering anger, and in less time than you might think, that anger will turn to a quiet rage.

Call it Narrative Whiplash, if you will, which I wrote about extensively this week.

And, based on little more than directional intuition and some educated guessing, I’m going to guess this negative public sentiment will hit its peak JUST before a specific date on the calendar.

November 8, 2022.

A day that will live in infamy, and for all the right reasons.

Until next time … stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly, stay Bright.
