My wife has used the same model of gaming mouse, the SteelSeries Sensei, for years. I also used it for a while. Unfortunately they don't last forever, so we end up getting a new one every few years.
In 2015, the SteelSeries Sensei was $37.99.
In 2016, it was $44.67.
In 2022, it was $52.28.
In 2024, it's $69.99.
The design receives "updates", but it's the same in terms of functionality. If anything, the sensor for the latest model has reduced in quality - from 18,000 to 12,000 CPI.
Today, we were at the store and purchased the following items:
- 3x whole milk (organic), $11.97
- 2.09 lbs bananas (organic), $1.65
- 2 packs of tomatoes (organic), $5.98
- 3x red bell peppers (organic), $5.97
- lettuce (organic), $5.49
- potatoes (organic), $5.99
- 3x cucumbers (organic), $5.37
The total was $42.42; for groceries – mostly vegetables – you can carry in two bags.
Government inflation statistics are flat-out lies. They change their indexing basket and methodology all the time, to make the numbers as low as they can sell it. If something rises in price, they exclude it from the index and replace it with something else that did not become as expensive. When that rises in price, they replace it with something else. In the end, the inflation statistics are tracking anything, except what you're actually buying to live. Everything costs twice as much, but you're told the inflation is 3%.
The USD is being destroyed, on purpose
Central banking in a debt-based economy with fractional reserve lending is the largest possible scam. It's a pyramid scheme that enriches originators and bankrupts those left holding the bucket. The originators are the families who control the world's largest banks. The person left holding the bucket is you and me.
To get away with a lie, you have to lie big. To get away with a scam, you have to scam big. To conceal the previous scam, you start an even bigger scam. To get away with a crime, you craft an even bigger crime. This is the story of the 20th century. It's what has been happening for the past 111 years.
At some point, you have committed the largest possible crimes, and there are no longer bigger crimes to commit. We are now at this stage. The largest crimes have been committed. Economies have been destroyed. Billions of people have been poisoned. The only next crime to commit is a World War III.
If Donald Trump wins tomorrow's election, World War III can be avoided. But the economic collapse cannot. The world economy is built on scam, upon scam, upon scam. The way to sustain this has been to commit bigger crimes and bigger scams. If World War III is avoided, this stops the scam progression. The only other direction is the unraveling of the scams. You can't bring honesty to government, and not unravel them.
The US Federal Reserve Note is the foundation of these scams. If we avoid World War III, the USD scam still has to unravel, and the economy has a long way to fall.
Ron Paul has been right, all along.
