The president and his GOP cronies want to tamper with government statistics and use deceptive budget gimmicks to lie about the impact of their massive tax and budget cuts.
It’ll work for a while on some people, but yeah, eventually it’ll come crashing all down, especially if companies start using the fake figures into their future planning.
I’m pretty sure this is also why they want to annex Canada, Greenland, and Panama (maybe Mexico if they think they can get away with it). It’s the exact same strategy the Nazis used, and I’m not invoking that lightly: when their economy was absolute dogshit, the Nazis made it look WAY better by A) going to a war footing and B) invading other countries and stealing everything that wasn’t nailed down (then stealing everything else, including the nails.)
I still don’t believe it’s anything more than a distraction from more important issues, although maybe I’m naive.
I’m more worried about things like an article I just read where they disbanded a group dedicated to ensuring statistics are as accurate as possible, while also redefining how GDP is measured so they can hide the impact of government cuts on the economy
Invading Canada doesn’t seem like it can be real. Manipulating facts and newspeak to lie to the population is all too real and all too much an enabler for pretty much everything else. The first thing a tyrant needs to do is control what the populace thinks it knows
It is distraction. Russia doesn’t gain anything from getting Moscow burned to the ground. The number of U.S. citizens that want to shoot Canadian citizens is low. And the only way that 31 countries (NATO) don’t attack the U.S. in defense of Canada is if they think Russia is a big enough threat to keep them from coming. Ukraine has proved Russia is not. Russia would lose all the ground gained in Ukraine soon as Poland and Germany started air raids on Russia. Poland would have no issue burning Moscow to the ground without ever setting boots in Russia. There is no benefits to any of it. The only benefit is to Trump where he would be able to seize war time powers. In the mean time more than half of America would be livid with the U.S. government getting us sucked into WW3 and be trying to not only oust the current government but actively sabotaging factories making drones or any wartime gear. 2/3s of this country would likely WANT us to lose the war so we could fix our government and get back to relative peace. Shit, NYC itself would likely blow up the Statue of Liberty.
Nothing good would come from WW3, and that’s what it would bring.
