Government Gaslights People About the Economy

Public opinion polls consistently show the economy is one of the top issues, if not the top issue, for American voters. This may strike some as odd, since official government statistics show low unemployment and declining price inflation, suggesting the Federal Reserve has engineered a “soft landing” bringing down inflation without causing a recession. So why the concern over the economy? One reason is more people are realizing government economic figures hide the truth about the economy.M

“Recession Since 2022: US Economic Income and Output Have Fallen Overall for Four Years” is a Brownstone Institute research paper by Dr. E.J. Antoni, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and Dr. Peter St. Onge, a fellow with the Mises Institute. It details how the federal government understates inflation, while making wages, profits, and economic growth appear stronger.

Dr. Antoni and Dr. St. Onge use a more accurate measure of inflation than that used by government to uncover the true state of the economy. Their calculations show that the US economy has been in recession since 2022. The government claims that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by approximately 13.7 percent from 2019 through the first half of 2024. When the more accurate inflation number is used, the result is a 2.5 percent decline in GDP.

The federal government’s figures also show the American people’s disposable income increased by 12.9 percent from 2019 through the first half of 2024. However, when the more accurate way of calculating price inflation is used, it shows Americans’ disposable income declined by 2.3 percent. Dr. Antoni and Dr. St. Onge are hardly the first to expose how the government uses doctored statistics to make the economy look stronger. John Williams’s ShadowStats has regularly shown how government manipulates data to underreport unemployment and price inflation.

YouTube May Be Suppressing The Rogan/Trump Podcast And Bombarding It With Kamala Ads

The Joe Rogan interview with Donald Trump is impossible to hide, it’s been seen by tens of millions of people, yet some people believe YouTube is having a damn good go at it.

Several commentators have noted that it appears that YouTube is suppressing the video on its platform.

It seems YouTube is hiding the podcast from the search results.

There might be another explanation, however.

Rogan tweeted Friday “There is no issue with YouTube censoring the trump episode. It was just supposed to go live on both Spotify and YouTube at the same time and there was a glitch in Spotify’s upload system and so we delisted the YouTube link until it’s fixed. It should be fine now.”

But is it fixed?

Many have said that they still cannot find the video via a Google search or the YouTube search box.

It has also not been featured on YouTube’s trending page, despite having millions of views.

Kamala Backs Mass Amnesty for Illegals in Rambling Interview.

Vice President Kamala Harris is backing mass amnesty for illegal immigrants instead of mass deportations, which are supported by a majority of the American people. The immigration policy revelation came during a disjointed response by the 2024 Democrat Party presidential nominee to a question posed by Telemundo.

“Right now, we’re talking about border security and there’s nobody—no Democrat—talking about a pathway to citizenship, an immigration relief,” pressed Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro before Harris interjected: “I am!”

Vaqueiro continued, emphasizing Democrats are not talking enough about the “benefits migrants bring to this country.” At this point, Harris engages in one of her signature rambling, nonsensical interview answers.

“Oh, but there is no question that [pause] migrants bring. America is a country that is, was built, in part, by immigrants,” the vice president says, appearing confused by her own response. When pressed further by Vaqueiro regarding concerns among immigrants about mass deportations, Harris—becoming visibly frustrated and angry—says: “I’m not talking about other… Uh, we need smart, humane immigration policy in America that includes a pathway to citizenship.”

Kamala Supporter Outlines ‘Survival Guide’ If Trump Wins

A Kamala Harris supporter provided a survival guide for leftists if Donald Trump wins the presidency, suggesting that Democrats would be rounded up and put in camps by a fascist government if they don’t keep quiet about politics.

The leftist suggested that if Trump wins, “MAGAheads” will proceed to engage in violent attacks against Americans who voted for Harris, despite the fact that this didn’t happen in 2016 and it was in fact leftists who reacted by engaging in violent riots.

“Keep your mouths shut,” asserted the leftist, advising that Democrats should hide the fact that they know anyone who is transgender, an immigrant or “left-leaning” in general.

“Anyone you don’t know that tries to talk about politics around you, you shut that shit down immediately because that is fishing for information and people they can report,” he added.

Biden-Harris spent $1 billion to spread COVID vaccine misinformation

new Congressional report shows the Biden-Harris administration spent almost $1 billion manipulating public opinion on COVID vaccines, at times relying on wrong or speculative information.

A House Energy and Commerce report released Wednesday night details how the National Institutes of Health seeded “erroneous or unproven information” into COVID-era messaging and advertisements.

In other words, when state officials, such as Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer were jubilantly shuttering schools and businesses, the White House was knowingly manipulating the public on vaccines’ promised efficacy against COVID. 

“While the Biden-Harris administration’s public health guidance led to prolonged closures of schools and businesses, the NIH was spending nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer money trying to manipulate Americans with advertisements—sometimes containing erroneous or unproven information,” the report said. 

“By overpromising what the COVID-19 vaccines could do—in direct contradiction of the FDA’s authorizations—and over emphasizing the virus’s risk to children and young adults, the Biden-Harris administration caused Americans to lose trust in the public health system,” Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-WA, said.

The Legacy Media Can’t Win it for Kamala

Well, there’s little more than a week until the most important election in most of our lives. And yes, I know we live in Australia and this is a U.S. election but if we want to turn back the tides of mass illegal immigration, suicidal Net Zero policies and the enervating of Western culture from within then the U.S. is ground zero. And we need Trump to beat the most left-wing Democrat candidate ever in Californian Kamala. Joe Biden turned out to be the second most Lefty Presidential Democrat ever, despite selling himself as a centrist in 2020. That’s not least because he took office and immediately repealed over 90 of Trump’s Executive Orders that were making the border more secure – in Biden’s first year numbers went up 10 times on a yearly basis. Somewhere between 10 and 20 million illegal aliens have illicitly come into the U.S. under Biden/Harris. And a good chunk of those were not from South America but from the Middle East and China. Then there were the culture war sallies by Team Biden on the transgender athletes in women’s sports front, wokeness in the military, the many attacks on free speech. And don’t forget the steroidal spending under the laughably misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act” that has made the dollar you had in your hand the day Biden was sworn in worth less than 80 cents today.  Real wages have not come close to keeping up with that sort of inflation. (To be balanced though, the U.S. economy is still doing better than ours what with our six straight quarters of per-person-GDP-decline recession. What with our woeful productivity numbers. What with our democratic world’s near highest electricity prices that back in 2005 were the lowest. What with our also world’s virtually highest minimum wage laws. Put bluntly, yes it is much easier to start a business, grow a business, attract capital and top people, and all the rest in America than here, Sleepy Joe’s administration notwithstanding – which is why all Australians should be mightily grateful to the mining sector and farmers in this country who deliver world class results.)  

As I write this the betting markets have the Don at a 60% implied chance of winning the election and the polls look good. That’s about a week before many of you will be reading this. If the trends continue as they have been then, fingers crossed, Trump will be doing even better as you cast your eyes down this column.

Trump Warns Harris ‘Would Get Us Into World War III,’ Says Our Sons and Daughters Would Be Drafted in ‘Never-Ending Wars’

Former President Donald Trump has warned that Vice President Kamala Harris “would get us into World War III” and that our “sons and daughters will end up getting drafted to fight her never-ending wars.”

Trump issued the warning at a rally on Saturday.

The Republican presidential nominee explained that “to make Kamala president would be to gamble with the lives of millions—she would get us into World War Three because she is too grossly incompetent to do the job, and then all of your sons and daughters will end up getting drafted to fight her never-ending wars.”

Trump also received the endorsement of Muslim and Arab leaders at his Michigan rally.

“We as Muslims stand with President Trump because he promises peace. He promises peace, not war. We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine,” one member of the group of leaders joining the former president on stage said.

“We support Donald J Trump for his commitment to promoting family values and protected our children well-being, especially when it comes to curriculums and schools.”

Trump also implied that the October 7th attack in Israel would not have happened if he was still president, and subsequently, the war in Gaza would not have either.

The Pravda Press Still Won’t Ask Harris If She’ll Accept The Results Of The Election If She Loses

The Pravda press has asked former President Donald Trump over and over again whether he’ll accept the results of the election if his Democrat opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, wins. Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, has heard the question ad nauseam as well. 

CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns peppered the former president with the question in late August, as the Democratic National Committee was installing Harris as the party’s nominee following President Joe Biden’s forced exit from his reelection campaign. 

“Will you accept the results of this election?” the reporter asked

“Absolutely. I assume it’s going to be a fair election. If it’s going to be a fair and free election the answer is absolutely I will,” Trump said.

Burns pressed with this ridiculous question. “What does fair mean to you?”

“It means the votes are counted. It means that votes are fair,” Trump said. “It means they don’t cheat on the election, they don’t drop ballots, install new rules and regulations that they don’t have the power to do.”

In other words, if leftist activists and Trump-hating elections officials don’t rig this election like they did the last one.  

“They don’t use 51 intelligence agents to give phony reports, which had an affect on the election. They don’t do many of the things that they did in the last election,” he added, referring to the former intelligence officials who signed a letter insisting the Hunter Biden laptop story reported by the New York Post days before the 2020 presidential election was “Russian disinformation.” It was not. It was very real. And the Deep State, assisted by a complicit corporate media, silenced a story that many Americans say could have changed the results of the election.
