The US National Debt is an utterly ridiculous at $34.7 Trillion Dollars and rising fast.

Just to put that into context…..
1 thousand seconds is 17 minutes
1 million seconds is 11 days
1 billion seconds is 31.7 years
1 Trillion seconds is 31,709.8 years
If you search online, you’ll see images of $1 Trillion in individual $100 Dollar bills stacked next to the Empire State Building or going to the Moon and back.
The only thing about those analogies is that only 3% of Money is in cash…so sorry to burst your balloon…we can’t build a house from $100 Dollar Bills or a staircase to the Moon as there’s not enough money. 97% of it is digital.
Bit regardless of that, taxpayers are always presented with a Bill.
It costs the taxpayers this…. or its cost the taxpayers that…
But it’s all an illusion…a massive fraud but we have been conditioned down the years to think that it’s money that’s actually owed..to someone…somewhere.
It’s a lie.
Here’s an amusing anecdote (that you may have heard before) that shows you just how much of an illusion it all is.
“It’s the month of August in a small American resort town next to the shores of a lake. It’s raining and the little town looks deserted. It’s the toughest time since 1934, everybody is in debt and everybody lives on credit, mostly from each other.
One day a rich tourist comes in to town. “Oh Boy!” Everyone says to themselves when they see his stretch limousine pull up outside the only hotel. “How long can we keep this rich guy here?” They ask.
The limo stops, the back door opens and the bigshot enters the hotel.
He drops $100 Bill on the reception counter and asks to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one he might like.
The moment the elevator closes taking the new customer upstairs, the hotel proprietor takes the $100 Bill and sprints 4 doors down to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the $100 to pay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the $100 to pay his debt to the supplier of feed and fuel. The supplier of feed and fuel takes the $100 and hurries to pay his debt to the town’s only prostitute, that in these times of hardship gave her services on credit.
The hooker runs to the hotel and pays off her debt with the $100 Bill to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.
It all happened in less than 10-minutes and the hotel proprietor placed the $100 Bill back onto the counter so that the rich tourist would not suspect anything.
And it was just in time too, because only a moment later the rich tourist came down after inspecting the rooms, picked up the $100 Bill and said he did not like any of the rooms and he left town.
No one earned anything.
However, the whole town was suddenly without any debt and was looking to the future with a lot of optimism.
And now you’ve just seen a quick snapshot of how the government, via the central bank credit machine, operates in our society.” Pat Shannan, “Everything They Ever Told Me was a lie.” 2010 (You can get the Book Here: https://amzn.eu/d/4Hz9ysU )
Banks do not have to point a gun at us to get our money.
As they own the law and everything else besides, we pay them out of fear of non-compliance.
We want a good credit score.
We want to fit in.
We can have that new sofa, car or kitchen…IF we qualify.
And who doesn’t want to qualify?
Er…me for one. And probably you as well.
Once you know how it all works, you can step aside and not play their games.
Over the course of the next few months you will read here, in this Blog, substack, diary, exactly how to do that….
Once seen, you can never look back!
