For years, the signs were everywhere for those who could see it. Governments aren’t prepared to deal with systemic crises, and when the Federal Reserve pumped massive amounts of liquidity into the banking system – first in 2008-2009 and then again in 2020 – this was a short-term fix that was bound to have long-term consequences.
No matter how you slice it, all roads lead to policy errors. The government will blame COVID-19 and geopolitical turmoil for the slow-motion economic collapse we’re witnessing in 2022, but it’s years of mismanagement that has actually brought us to this point.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unprecedented ramp-up in the Fed’s program of buying bonds and mortgage-backed securities – billions of dollars were purchased each month, even after the lockdowns ended in the U.S. On top of that, the Fed suppressed bond yields, to the point where real yields were negative.
Clearly, Fed Chair Jerome Powell wasn’t ready to disturb Wall Street and allow equity prices to go down. However, what’s good for Wall Street isn’t necessarily good for Main Street and hardworking Americans. The government will tout a seemingly low unemployment rate, but layoffs and hiring freezes are on the rise at companies ranging from Wells Fargo to Robinhood and Meta/Facebook.
Among the people who haven’t been laid off yet, many of them are struggling just to get by and worried that their job positions will be lost to automation and outsourcing. At the same time, there’s a shortage of skilled labor along crucial areas of the supply chain, as well as in critical-need areas like healthcare and education.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
