Opinion by Mathew Carr
May 21-22, 2024 — The inflation conspiracy among economists, the mainstream media and politicians is very real indeed.
Watch this great video – but the inflation scam is even worse than Gary’s Economics says – the warmongering is deliberate (and massively boosted prices), the dilution of money by printing more of it is deliberate (they call it quantitative easing so the jargon hides its sinister nature), the loose regulation of corporations is deliberate (allowing the 99.9% of people to be ripped off all the time), the constant increasing concentration in markets via takeovers is deliberate — when politicians say “economies of scale” are good, it really means real people lose the benefits of competitive tension in markets for everything from food to motor vehicles:
Capitalism is not to blame – it’s the bad regulation of capitalism that’s to blame
What I said on x:
Great work @GarysEconomics … inspirational in your clear story telling … yet it is even worse than you tell … yes @rishisunak is a liar as he takes credit for inflation dropping (ie the pace of people being increasingly ripped off is slowing slightly) … but @rishisunak ‘s political party and @UKLabour and @NATO DELIBERATELY provoked war with Russia by pushing weapons east toward Russia’s borders … after saying they would not do that … they stopped Russia from supplying Europe with more gas because they wanted the money from doing that …
THIS WAR WAS THE MAIN CAUSE OF INFLATION ACROSS THE WORLD – IT WAS DELIBERATE
…as you say the @trussliz fiasco was part of it … yet THAT FIASCO TOO was also a DELIBERATE global strategy to enrich the banks and worsen inequality for the benefit of the 0.1% …ESPECIALLY THE BIGGEST GLOBAL BANKS …
…this is why for example …banks should be forced to lift saving rates as soon as the BOE (AND OTHER CENTRAL BANKS) move official rates… THIS IS A very simple policy change … as I’ve repeatedly been calling for …
…we saw falling inflation months ago by looking at natgas futures ….(see pic) …the deception has been going on for more than a year and news outfits I used to respect are obsessed by inflation and report on it very badly as you say …often as the front-page lead even when it is no news…
…and the government here IN THE UK, as well as those leading countries around the world, are pretending inflation is about monetary policy and wages when it is about price gouging and corrupt markets, corrupt corporations (im not saying all corporations are corrupt) AND corrupt politicians.
would those mentioned like to respond/comment for a story? here’s your chance …COMMENT TO @CARRZEE ON X AND I WILL INCLUDE YOUR COMMENT HERE TOO.
