Trump: The Great American Reset

[turiya]

WINTER IS COMING
(PART THREE)

“The very survival of the nation will feel at stake. Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

In Part One of this article I laid out the reasons for Gray Champions arising to meet challenges during crisis periods in history. In Part Two of this article I assessed the configuration of Gray Champions throughout the world and the potential impact on the course of this Fourth Turning. The swirling fog of confusion enveloping the globe as the high lords of the universe play their game of thrones has even the most critical thinking individuals baffled by the course of events. The desperation and blatant lawlessness of the Deep State players in their endeavor to preserve their hegemony over the course of global affairs is palpable with every attack, false flag, accusation, and ratcheting up of their propaganda media machine.

Like Game of Thrones, the behind the scenes machinations, subterfuge, and deceptions taking place outside the purview of the common folk are designed to only benefit the rich and powerful players undertaking these traitorous actions. Open warfare will not happen until it is thought to be in the best interests of those manipulating the levers of society and the narrative produced by their perpetual propaganda media machine. But, in the end, it will be the innocent common people who will suffer the consequences, while the lords reap the riches, glory and power.

“Why is it always the innocents who suffer most, when you high lords play your game of thrones?” – Lord Varys – George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones

The common people have always been blind to the next turning until after it fully arrives. Even now, the average person has no idea we are in the midst of a crisis period which will change the course of history. The overwhelming majority of the 325 million Americans, and billions around the globe, go about their daily lives oblivious to the intrigues, conspiracies, and treachery playing out at the highest levels of government and in smoky backrooms, where deals are made, wars plotted, and billions dispersed to the oligarchical lords running our world.

The common people get up, go to work, try to earn enough to survive or get ahead in life, raise their children, and endeavor to attain the lifestyle sold to them by their overlords based on delusion and debt. They are easily distracted by technological baubles, watching sporting events, enslaved by government handouts, and told what to believe by their keepers. They don’t want to experience the challenges of winter, but a never ending summer. They don’t want to think and be responsible for their lives. They want to be left in peace on Twitter and Facebook, but that isn’t how it works during a Fourth Turning winter.

“The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends,” Ser Jorah told her. “It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.” He gave a shrug. “They never are.” – George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

There is no telling how the next ten or so years will play out; which alliances prove to be successful or disastrous; whether Trump is compromised by the Deep State or wins this internal struggle; and the outcomes of the fast approaching civil and global wars, which are inevitable given the current state of affairs in the world. The Fourth Turning isn’t a prediction. It’s a period of crisis driven by the generational alignment which happens like clockwork every 80 to 100 years. It predicts nothing. The course of events is up to the individuals driving those events.

Those who attempt to dismiss this generational theory by calling it doom porn or saying it is impossible to predict the future are revealing their fears rather than arguing based on facts or substance. A man who fears the coming trials and tribulations has already lost. Fear works far better than swords in keeping the masses controlled. Take the Russian bogeyman scenario being utilized at the present time to keep the ignorant masses distracted and bemused. Praying for a lone wolf to save the day and restore the world to its summer like condition is irrational and again based upon fear. Winter winds are already blowing at gale force.

“When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives.” – Ned Stark – George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones

It’s fear that appears to be pushing people over the edge. The common people are being manipulated by the “powers that be” though propaganda, mistruths, distractions, iGadgets, hero worship, irrelevant social justice warrior issues, the illusion of political choices, and being lured into debt servitude by the banking cabal and their mega-corporation co-conspirators. They have successfully divided us into angry subsets of lone wolves unwilling or unable to unite and fight the true enemies.

The common people will again do the dying and get the short end of the stick, just as they did during the Civil War, Great Depression and World War II. In order to change the dynamics of this Fourth Turning from one where the lords determine our fate, it would require the majority to open their eyes to see the truth and be led by truly just men to overcome the forces of darkness currently in control. Based on history, this is an unlikely scenario, but still possible.

“Opening your eyes is all that is needing. The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true.” – Syrio Forel – George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones

An extremely important question on which hinges the future course of history, will need to be answered in the near future. Is Trump a moral, just, honorable leader who has the best interests of the American people as his sole priority or will he continue to represent the interests of the vested interests (aka Deep State)? Words are not enough. It’s his deeds by which he will be judged. Is he a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or a noble warrior doing battle with Deep State enemies?

His contradictory and baffling actions over his first fifteen months in office have given hope to many, infuriated others, and confused the majority. Does he have principles or is everything negotiable? His decision making, relationships with foreign adversaries, ability to defeat his domestic enemies, and courage to do what is right whether it is popular, will determine his place in history. Failure could be catastrophic for the nation.

While Trump, Putin, and Jinping play their game of thrones for world dominance, we the people still have to do our part at this crucial time in history. While the vast majority of Americans may not be intellectually capable of independent thought or critical thinking due to decades of dumbing down through the government education gulags and a steady diet of government propaganda, there are a minority of patriotic people who respect the Constitution and will need to man the wall.

We know the existing social order will be demolished by the end of this Fourth Turning and courageous acts will matter, sacrifice required, and defeating enemies from within and without will be compulsory. There will be no glory for common men who make the ultimate sacrifice and die for a better tomorrow for their children and grandchildren. Everyone has the potential to make a difference. Danger is omnipresent.

“I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.” – The Oath of the Brothers of the Night’s Watch – Game of Thrones

You don’t have to be a fan of the Game of Thrones or a believer in the Fourth Turning to realize the world is in the midst of a crisis. Denial and willful ignorance will not turn back time to better days. Whether it be a fictional battle for control of the seven kingdoms or a real battle for control of petro-currencies, gas pipelines, natural resources, and military dominance, the humans locked in these battles never change.

Human nature has remained the same throughout history. The shortcomings of men across centuries have remained consistent: greed, power seeking, arrogance, cruelty, immorality, and hubris. Even Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a man of true courage, knew “the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being”.

The coming storms will bring out the best and the worst in humanity. The nation could be snuffed out or be elevated to new glorious heights. If good wins out over evil the heroic deeds of the winners will become the stuff of myths and legends. If evil wins out over good the final shocking scene in The Planet of the Apes may be our future. The choices we make will matter.

“The risk of catastrophe will be very high. The nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up geographically, or succumb to authoritarian rule. If there is a war, it is likely to be one of maximum risk and effort–in other words, a total war…

History’s howling storms can bring out the worst and best in people. The next Fourth Turning can literally destroy us as a nation and people, leaving us cursed in the histories of those who endure and remember. Alternatively, it can ennoble our lives, elevate us as a community, and inspire acts of consummate heroism–deeds that will grow into mythlike legends recited by our heirs far into the future.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

Beautiful!! I had not heard of JOHN MARK DOUGAN until yesterday!

His new book is "Bad Wolf". Good Jason Goodman interview!

Messages in my email box from three separate non-profits today about 1.Net Neutrality 2. Tax Cut 3. Supplements
They look like typical Republican party moves and whether Trump is responsible or not and/or what he might still do about them remains to be seen, but hopefully he will do something positive because they are all very important issues and the trends don't look good.

From: Fight for the Future
"Brett Kavanaugh has just been announced as the Supreme Court nominee, and it’s a disaster for net neutrality.

Kavanaugh has openly said he wants to make net neutrality illegal. He has a frightening track record when it comes to Internet freedom and civil liberties.
But we can stop him. If every senator who supports net neutrality votes against Kavanaugh, we will stop him with votes to spare.
Brett Kavanaugh must be stopped or net neutrality could be doomed. We’re launching an emergency campaign to convince the Senate to reject him.
Brett Kavanaugh’s opposition to net neutrality is based on a twisted interpretation of the First Amendment. According to Kavanaugh, ISPs are like newspaper editors, empowered to decide what speech is suitable to share and what isn’t.
This, simply put, is nuts. It’s like saying the electric utility can decide what we can plug in and what we can’t. And under Kavanaugh’s theory, it doesn’t matter what Congress or the President or even the voters think. Any version of net neutrality could be thrown out by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional.
We’ve fought for years to save the free and open Internet, and didn’t come this far to let the Supreme Court throw it out.
To stop Kavanaugh, we need to do exactly what we did to get that “one last vote” to restore net neutrality. We’ll mobilize the coalition of free-thinking libertarians and progressives, small businesses, and other net neutrality supporters. We’ll flood undecided Senate offices with phone calls. We’ll use the Internet to save the Internet by making sure people know what’s at stake and how they can take effective action to win.
We can win this fight. There are 52 senators on the record in support of restoring net neutrality. We only need 50 votes to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation. But we need to start now.

From Corporate Accountability

"Congressional Republicans are now demanding that the huge deficits caused by Tax Scam 1.0 be paid for by cutting critical services for working families including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education and more.
And recently, Republicans on the powerful House Budget Committee approved a budget that could slash nutritional assistance, public education, college aid, housing programs, and more. It may soon be voted on by the full House of Representatives.
This is corporate-backed politicians taking money away from critical services people rely on to survive -- only to give a massive tax cut to corporations and the über-wealthy.
Six months ago, Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans passed a tax scam that will cost the American people $1.9 trillion. Now, in an Election Year ploy, they are preparing “Tax Scam Round 2.”
But six months after passage of Tax Scam Round 1, here is what we know:
83% of the tax cuts are still going to the richest 1%.
Just 4% of workers have gotten a pay hike due to the tax cuts—a one-time bonus or wage hike.
The cost of the tax cuts has ballooned from $1.5 trillion to $1.9 trillion, emboldening GOP lawmakers to demand even more cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, education and more.
Trump proposed a budget that would cut funding for these critical services by $1.7 trillion to pay for his tax scam.
Prescription drug companies, health insurers, Wall Street banks and other major industries are getting huge tax breaks and not sharing the wealth with consumers or their employees.
Despite these outrageous results -- ripping off the American people -- Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are planning to double down before the November Election. They want to pass a Tax Scam Round 2 that could cost another $1 trillion and would mostly benefit the wealthy at the expense of working families, seniors, people with disabilities and hungry children.
Tax Scam Round 2 is just another giveaway to Republican donors, wealthy business owners and real estate developers like Donald Trump who game the system at our expense. Take action:

From Alliance for Natural Health:

"The Trump administration has just proposed moving food regulation from the Food and Drug Administration and turning it over to the Department of Agriculture. The FDA would then become The Federal Drug Administration.
Hearing this news, we cheered. Dietary supplements under federal law are considered food, so this had to mean that both food and supplements would move to the Ag Department. But, alas not. Under the proposal, supplements would remain in the new Federal Drug Administration.
Catastrophe! How could the Trump administration make this mistake? Perhaps they just don’t know better. Perhaps they don’t even know that supplements are legally food, or that leaving them with drugs is disastrous for the supplement industry. We need to explain all this to the President and Congress without losing any time.
It’s simple. Drug companies pay for a large portion of FDA expenses. FDA employees, with salaries paid by the drug companies, appear to think they are working for the drug companies or may hope to work for the drug companies. As a result, they try to eliminate any product that might conceivably compete with FDA approved drugs. This includes healthy foods, medical foods, and supplements. Cherry and walnut producers, for example, have been warned that they could not make any health claims for these great foods, and if they did, they would be fined and jailed for years. Yes, threatened with jail for citing top university research.
You can see why we cannot allow supplements to be separated from food and left behind in a new Federal Drug Administration. The new FDA would have even more power to turn supplements into expensive drugs, or at least push up their prices, or just eliminate them entirely.
All of us need to work together to stop this before it gets put into legislation. The solution is obvious. Supplements are legally food. Their regulation should move to the Ag Department along with other food. That would be simple, legal, and protect food and supplements from the drug industry.
But we must act now. There is not a moment to lose. Please send your message to the White House and Congress. http://www.anh-usa.org/action-alert-...5-2a3614359586

"Russian Asbestos Giant Praises Trump Administration Actions to Keep Deadly Carcinogen Legal
‘Donald Is on Our Side,’ Says Company With Ties to Putin
By Alex Formuzis
WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 2018

(Trump is doing some great things, but turning a blind eye to things not so great is just paving the way for a new tyranny. If he is impeached or assassinated, the new POTUS will be Mike Pence, a died in the wool Republican. Think about it. )

https://www.ewg.org/release/russian-...7#.W0Yv_NJKgdX

WASHINGTON – One of the world’s biggest producers of asbestos, a Russian company with ties to Vladimir Putin, is praising President Trump for allowing asbestos to remain legal in the U.S.

The company’s applause for Trump comes as Russia is poised to become the leading importer to the U.S. of asbestos, which causes diseases that kill an estimated 15,000 Americans a year. A recent study led by Jukka Takala, president of the International Commission on Occupational Health, found the death toll from asbestos exposure may be much higher, at nearly 40,000 Americans a year and more than 255,000 a year worldwide.

On June 25, the asbestos producer Uralasbest posted photos on its Facebook page of pallets of its signature product, chrysotile asbestos, wrapped in plastic adorned with Trump’s image. Trump’s picture is at the center of a large red seal declaring: “APPROVED BY DONALD TRUMP, 45th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.”



Photo: Uralasbest OJSC, via Facebook

In an English translation of the post, Uralasbest said:

Donald is on our side! … He supported the head of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, who stated that his agency would no longer deal with negative effects potentially derived from products containing asbestos. Donald Trump supported a specialist and called asbestos “100% safe after application."

Pruitt resigned as EPA administrator last week, after an 18-month tenure marred by ethical scandals, profligate spending of taxpayer dollars and aggressive attempts to roll back public health protections. One of his last decisions was to exclude so-called legacy uses of asbestos from the scope of an ongoing safety assessment. He also declined to ban new uses of asbestos. The Obama administration had designated asbestos a priority for a new safety assessment under the nation’s new toxic chemicals law.

Trump has long rejected the scientific consensus that asbestos is so dangerous that there is no safe level of exposure. In his 1997 book, “The Art of the Comeback,” the future president claimed asbestos is “100 percent safe, once applied.” In 2012, he tweeted that if asbestos had not been removed from the World Trade Center, the twin towers “would never have burned down” in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Not to be outdone in showering adoration on Trump, Kostanai Minerals, the largest chrysotile asbestos producer in neighboring Kazakhstan, shared the post on its own Facebook page.

Uralasbest claims its asbestos mine in the Ural Mountains city of Asbest is the largest in the world. According to an investigation by the Center for Public Integrity, in 2009, Putin met with the head of the Uralasbest workers union, who said he “promised to support Russian producers of chrysotile, especially in situations where we find ourselves under political pressure at the international level.” The Center also reported that Kostanai Minerals has received financial backing from state-controlled banks in both Russia and Kazakhstan.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, in 2016, roughly 95 percent of the asbestos imported into the U.S. came from Brazil, with the rest coming from Russia. The Commerce Department and the U.S. International Trade Commission estimate that 705 metric tons of asbestos came into the U.S. in 2016, compared to 343 metric tons the year before.

But in November, Brazil joined more than 60 other nations and banned asbestos. Brazil’s ban leaves Russia, Kazakhstan and China as the world’s dominant asbestos producers. With Brazil no longer providing the vast majority of asbestos to the U.S., Russia and Kazakhstan could fill the void.

“Vladimir Putin and Russia’s asbestos industry stand to prosper mightily as a result of the Trump Administration’s failure to ban asbestos in the U.S.,” said EWG President Ken Cook. “Helping Putin and Russian oligarchs amass fortunes by selling a product that kills thousands each year should never be the role of a U.S. president or the EPA, but this is the Trump administration. Russia’s interests are Trump’s interests, and any clear-eyed American knows it.”

“By allowing asbestos to remain legal, the Trump administration would be responsible for a flood of asbestos imports from Russia and other countries into the U.S., as well as the wave of illnesses and deaths that will continue for years to come,” said Linda Reinstein, co-founder and president of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization. “Americans know Putin does not have their interests at heart, but it’s becoming increasingly apparent that neither does Trump.”

Trump and Putin are scheduled to hold a one-on-one summit in Helsinki, Finland, on July 16. The agenda for the meeting has not been made public, but it is safe to assume talks over trade between the two countries could be part of the discussion."

Natural Resources Defense Council

"Andrew Wheeler could be just as dangerous as Scott Pruitt. He's a former fossil fuel industry lobbyist and fellow proponent of Pruitt's scorched-earth agenda. The immediate fate of the EPA now rests in Wheeler's coal-covered hands.

That means now is the best time for us to show Wheeler that we're watching him — and that we'll hold him accountable to his agency's mission to protect people, not polluters.

Tell President Trump and Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler that you're prepared to fight back against any move they make that threatens our environment, our climate, and our health.

As a dirty energy lobbyist, Wheeler worked for, among other polluters, Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray, one of the key industry leaders fighting to kill the climate-saving Clean Power Plan. And before that, he was a powerful legislative aide to Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, arguably the biggest climate denier on Capitol Hill.

And unlike Pruitt, Wheeler is a consummate Washington insider — less careless and possibly much wiser in the ways of how things work in our nation's capital. He could be much more adept than Pruitt in enacting President Trump's extreme anti-environment agenda.

And one thing's for sure: President Trump will keep waging his war on the environment, no matter who is running the EPA. NRDC will keep fighting back — in and out of court — to save our health, our climate, and our natural heritage.

But we can't do it alone. We need help from you and thousands of others across the country to mobilize a massive public outcry that will let President Trump and Andrew Wheeler know that we're watching them — and that we will not stop fighting until we ensure that our clean air and water, our public lands, and our clean energy future are protected.

Send a message to Acting Administrator Wheeler and President Trump now, and call on them to restore the standing of the EPA.

Pruitt's resignation proved that strong, vocal, and steadfast public pressure matters — and if our voices can make the difference once, they can do it again.To President Trump & Acting Administrator Wheeler:

'The previous administrator, Scott Pruitt, gravely undermined the EPA's all-important mission by putting polluter interests first, tearing down environmental safeguards, entrusting the agency to industry insiders, suppressing scientific evidence, and eroding employee and public confidence in the agency through lavish personal spending and numerous ethical scandals.

I call on you to restore EPA's effectiveness, independence, and public standing by doing the following:

* Recommitting the EPA to fulfilling its core mission to protect the health and environment of the American people, not the interests of big polluters

* Upholding the EPA's budget and retaining funding for essential programs that clean up toxic superfund sites, protect our air and water, enforce environmental laws, and more

*Restoring public transparency and scientific integrity at the EPA, relying first and foremost on the best available science to make decisions that protect our climate and health

*Reviewing and reversing any and all policy decisions that would increase risks to our health, environment, and climate, including canceling plans to repeal the Clean Power Plan, dismantle the Clean Water Rule, and allow toxic chemicals like chlorpyrifos and methylene chloride to continue threaten our families' health

* Protecting fundamental environmental laws like the Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and others that defend our rights to clean air and water, protect communities from toxic chemicals, and combat the threat of catastrophic climate change

* Adhering to a strict ethical code of conduct by appointing staff who defend our environmental laws, not industry lobbyists, and refrain from misusing taxpayer dollars on lavish and unnecessary expenditures.' "

Federal Reserve Officials Heatedly Debate Policy Course After Trump’s Criticism

• Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell is defending the path of gradual interest rate hikes just weeks after US President Donald Trump said he wasn’t “thrilled” about the policy. Powell said the ongoing normalization of monetary conditions would make the economy more sustainable.
• Fed Chair Powell said higher interest rates are making the economy healthier by staving off the risks of overheating and asset bubbles. Powell also stressed further increases in base borrowing costs would continue as long as economic growth keeps its momentum.
• “The economy is strong. Inflation is near our 2 percent objective, and most people who want a job are finding one.” Powell said. “If the strong growth in income and jobs continues, further gradual increases in the target range for the federal funds rate will likely be appropriate.”
  

• Powell stressed the central bank’s policy approach remains data-dependent, and every decision to raise rates or leave them unchanged comes after a fresh batch of inflation and employment data. The Fed Chair stressed this allows them to minimize the risk of policy mistakes that could actually hurt GDP growth.
• However, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis James Bullard urged his fellow board members to halt rate hikes for a while. Bullard said inflation has not increased significantly over the past year — despite the massive fiscal stimulus and deregulation.

Top Student Loan Official Quits, Blames Trump; Warns “The System Is Rigged”

• The top federal official overseeing the massive $1.5 trillion student loan market bubble resigned Monday, citing in a letter what he says is the Trump administration’s blatant disregard toward protecting the nations 44 million Americans struggling with student loan debt (which, however, they had no problem taking out).

• In a fiery resignation letter, Seth Frotman, who until Monday morning was the Student Loan Ombudsman at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), warned that current leadership “has turned its back on young people and their financial futures.”

• Congress created the Student Loan Ombudsman office when it formed the CFB, citing the critical need for a specific office to handle student loan complaints.
• “Frotman’s office was central to processing tens of thousands of complaints from student loan borrowers against their servicers. It also was the office at the center of the lawsuits against for-profit colleges like Corinthian Colleges and is currently heading up a lawsuit between the CFPB and Navient. The Navient lawsuit has been mired in bureaucratic red tape as the Department of Education, headed by Betsy DeVos, has been unwilling to help the CFPB with their lawsuit,” said Bloomberg.
• Under Mulvaney, Frotman’s student loan office was severely downgraded, which scaled back its enforcement work. Mulvaney’s office is currently in the process of revising or rescinding all of the rules and regulations it put into place under the Obama administration.
• Frotman concludes the resignation letter with a warning that the “system is rigged to favor the most powerful financial interests.” He also mentioned millions of borrowers are “trapped in a broken student loan system”, by which he meant one in which borrowers are expect to repay their lenders:

Preliminary Details of U.S./Mexico Trade Deal…

• ♦The NAFTA Loophole closure is explained in Summary Form HERE; with emphasis on the Auto-Sector. The key is a 75% part origination level for auto-assembly; and a 40-45% level for parts with a minimum $16/hr wage rate. The source-origination rate (75%) is even higher than all previously forecast negotiation results.
• Example of downstream consequences/benefits: German auto-maker BMW recently built a $2 billion assembly plant in Mexico (almost complete). Most of their core parts were coming from the EU (steel/aluminum casting components) and/or Asia (electronics). Now the assembly plant will have to source 75% of the auto-parts from the U.S. and Mexico, with 45% of those parts from facilities paying $16/hr. Result: BMW will need to modify their supply chain and build auto parts in the U.S. and Mexico.

• ♦Agriculture is another important sector, Overall it appears Mexico has agreed to a common set of food manufacturing safety standards. Additionally the removal of any/all subsidies in agricultural trade between the U.S. and Mexico.

1. New “rules of origin” requirements to incentivize billions a year in vehicle and automobile parts production in the United States, supporting high-wage jobs.
2. The strongest, fully enforceable labor standards of any trade agreement.
3. New commitments to reduce trade-distorting policies for agricultural goods.
4. Improvements enabling food and agriculture to trade more fairly.
5. Strong and effective intellectual property protections.
6. The strongest disciplines on digital trade of any international agreement.
7. The most robust transparency obligations of any United States trade agreement.

• Think about the BMW example above, the downstream ramifications within this agreement are massive. It is not coincidental that Canada’s Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland is in Germanycoordinating the response. Now that a deal with Mexico has been reached, Canada has lost all prior leverage.
• Remember, the U.S. and Mexico have agreed to “no protectionist tariffs/subsidies” in the agricultural sector. Canada protects its dairy sector with massive protectionist tariffs and subsidies.

I have a personal slant on the student loan "problem." Many years ago I went back to college to get a degree in nursing, so I could support my son. I borrowed about 18,000.

I was told I had to quit school by my son's school officials who called my mother while I was attending the funeral of a fiance, or they would call child protective services because he was wearing "dirty socks." The socks were stained because he would walk around outside in them, with no shoes on. I was working three jobs and was in school full time. Two of the jobs were at the condo where we lived.

I paid back 24,000.00 and then lost my jobs. So, at 9% compounded interest, I still owe 37K plus and growing, now with no way to pay them back. The debt will continue to grow until I die.

Was I lazy? Hardly. Is the system rigged? Absolutely.

We Are Witnessing The Nation Being Prepared
For A New Economic System - Episode 1652a

Description:

• The Feds inflation indicator jumps and finally hits their target.
• The Fed has no excuse now but to raise the interest rate to keep the economy from overheating.
• Trump decides that non military federal employees will not get raises starting in 2019.
• Strange that he would do this now since the economy is doing so well.
• This is part of the plan, shutdown departments, stop raises, let go Federal employees.
• All of this is in preparation for the new economic system.
