Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
Americans can’t afford to buy a used car or even gas because the Left doesn’t want them to drive. They can’t buy homes because the Left wants to destroy the suburbs and force everyone to live in megacities. They have trouble buying meat because the Left wants them to eat soy.
The same is true for the whole exercise in planned economic misery that we’re experiencing.
Take Hoover’s “A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage” and reverse it. That’s the goal. What we’re living through is not an unintentional accident: it’s the American Holodomor.
The Left doesn’t want you to be able to drive, buy a home, or enjoy a burger.
Naive Republicans will say that, “Biden is not paying enough attention to the border” or “Biden is not paying enough attention to inflation”.
That’s like saying Jack the Ripper wasn’t paying enough attention to cutting up prostitutes.
2 million illegal aliens are expected to invade America because the Biden administration is paying a whole lot of attention to keeping the border open. That’s why it’s busy fighting in court to dump Title 42 so that every illegal alien who crosses the border will be sure to come here.
When an administration makes increasing the flow of illegal aliens a core legal priority for the DOJ, that means it’s paying a whole lot of attention to it. Much like Jack paid a lot of attention to ladies of the evening. The Biden administration doesn’t believe that there should be a border.
That’s why the border is open wider than Biden’s brain on a Tuesday night.
There are predictions that gas will hit $6 a gallon nationwide by the summer because the Biden administration has worked hard to raise energy prices and create artificial shortages. Biden’s people just got through once again sabotaging oil and gas leases because they want higher energy prices. $6 a gallon is not the result of political inattentiveness, that is the plan.
Inflation isn’t an unintentional accident either. The Left spends like drunken sailors to feed its agenda, but also because spending is an innate good in the Cloward-Piven sense. Devalue money and you wipe out the middle class. Then you can reboot the economy on new terms.
Biden wasted trillions of dollars and is busy blaming “corporate greed” for high prices.
Meanwhile, inflation is doing what it’s meant to do, wiping out savings, and triggering retaliatory interest rate hikes to “cool down” the economy. The middle class ends up poorer and more vulnerable, government dependency rises and social mobility falls. Socialism starts looking better every day. That’s how it worked in the twentieth century and still works today.
All of this is terrible for Biden’s poll numbers, but that’s only a problem for Hunter Biden and whatever Chinese, Ukrainian or American oligarchs are paying his crack bills this week..
Picking a dementia patient for the presidency was always a suicide mission. Republicans are somewhat right in that Biden really isn’t paying attention to the economy or much of anything else. On a good day he can mumble his way through a teleprompter and then go back down to the basement for some ice cream. It’s the radical leftists around him who call the shots.
Putting Senator Elizabeth Warren in the White House would have led to the same programs, but the blame would have been directed at the Left. This way, the Left gets its agendas through while the blame falls on the most out-of-it leader of a major world power since King George III.
The Left is wearing Biden like a skin suit and will casually discard him when it’s done. That’s why the media is suddenly interested in that “Russian disinformation” about Hunter’s laptop.
Biden was dumb enough to think he had finally made it, when he was just the Left’s fall guy.
And while he may be incapable of paying attention to anything, his administration is cheering every price increase. The worse life gets for us, the closer the Left gets to its core agendas.
High gas prices aren’t “Putin’s price hike”, but they’re not even “Biden’s price hike”, they’re the “Left’s price hike”. Car and gas prices are meant to squeeze Americans out of car ownership. It’s such an unsubtle ploy that administration members will actually boast about it. And then they’ll urge Americans to buy $60,000 electric cars that they know people can’t afford.
The utterly blatant goal is to eliminate millions of cars by making it too expensive to drive.
And Democrats are working on this on multiple ends, from environmental and safety regulations, to raising gas prices, to artificial car shortages. Even those who can afford an electric car or get a government subsidized one will be kept off the road by high power rates.
Home prices? The Left has spent generations trying to kill the suburbs and the housing market. Much as it’s worked very hard to wipe out private sector medicine by using the stresses of the system against it. Making the private market for a good or service completely inaccessible for the vast majority of people paves the way for nationalizing it. The Left does not want people living in smaller communities. It has plainly said that everyone should have to live in cities.
Taking out the home and car markets are both means of limiting mobility and forcibly concentrating populations in dense urban clusters under their panopticons. These are the same strategies used by the Soviet Union and Communist China. And have the same intended end.
Food prices? The Left has been equally adamant that ordinary people must stop eating meat. Replacing traditional staples like bread and meat, milk and eggs, is another agenda item and was once again pursued through a combination of regulations, environmental, safety and animal rights measures, and more artificial shortages that are meant to transform the American diet.
You won’t be able to eat, drive or have a home to live in… and you will be told to be happy.
Or else.
This is not a conspiracy theory. The only assumption being made here is that the Left is achieving its stated goals as the result of a plan rather than a series of accidental coincidences.
Too many Republicans are failing to hold the Left accountable by refusing to state what is going on. Hanlon’s Razor, “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity” is fine when it’s not being applied to an ideology that is achieving its objectives through its actions.
That’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s policy.
Pasting Biden’s “I Did It” stickers on gas pumps is fine, but he’s completely expendable.
If Americans don’t understand that our misery isn’t an accident or incompetence, but part of a plan then the downward cycle will continue to play out with increasingly worse outcomes.
Until the Left finally gets what it wants. And then the rest of us won’t have anything left.

“In politics nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It is a plan that was hatched decades ago and has now accelerated to it conclusion of a one world order by means of a great reset. Blame people like Klaus Schwab and George Soros, yes. But also blame ourselves for being the frog in the pot all these years.

Westman says
Progressive Liberalism is the normalization of evil. It enshrines jealousy, laziness, and hedonism; declaring a right to be supported by government taxation and demanding that critics be silenced. It is a millstone on the neck of any society and ultimately drowns that society in the depths of despair.

I listened to a press conference held by Sen Repubs and they made a lot of sense. They hit every nail…as this article by Mr. Greenfield has done.
It is a plan. An evil, demonic plan and since they are in control, it’s working just as they want it to.
Just as the viruses and deadly shots were planned, so are the shortages and high prices.
The devil is having his short time full of anger and the killing of people all over the earth by his willing agents…his “children.”
Emilie Green says
In 1964 John Stormer publisher his None Dare Call It Conspiracy about a long-term project to saddle the world with an over-riding government, a NWO.
The John Birch Society has since its beginning 60+ years ago has always maintained, and still does, that a plan exists among the world’s elite to make the USA just a one of many in their NWO. And more than just maintaining this position the JBS has amassed evidence upon evidence.
Today the evidence is overwhelming that such a plan exists, and these elites have become quite open in speaking about it, whether at their Davos meetings or in the pages of the NYT, WP. In fact they’re bragging about it, about how they’ve been pulling the wool over millions of eyes.
Get the countries of the world, most notably the USA, involved in all sorts of entangling alliances, the UN and its countless alphabet agencies, the EU, NAFTA, et alia, in the effort for them to cede sovereignty to international bodies (the building blocks of a world administrative state).
The current push to enact a Global Pandemic Treaty follows this pattern of ceding sovereignty.
Westman says
“The Left is wearing Biden like a skin suit and will casually discard him when it’s done.” – like a scene from Men In Black.
We previously said, “to determine who rules you, look for those you are not allowed to criticise.” That appears to be obsolete. Perhaps it should now be, “To determine those who plan to rule you, look for those so insulated from the cares of daily life that they are now devoting much of their time in devising methods to keep you working as a permanent economic mule.”

imagine living in a country that is suposed to be member of the european union where the average wage is 500 euros and you have to pay for gas at 2,20 a litre, and rising unstopably…. not to mention about green energy developemnt and power prices… 100 euros a month is barely enough already….
seems that neo marxism tested already in european countries….
Michael says
Bulgaria?
I guess you mean 1000 Euros a month is not enough.
The fringe countries are stripped of their traditional industries and their young by the centripetal EU, while the centres of gravity are swamped.
Even Professor Pangloss could not put a positive spin on this nonsense.

So, according to the feature article:
“Our Economic Misery Isn’t an Accident, It’s the Plan”
That is a true statement.
The fraudulent Biden administration is led by a not very bright demented psychopath. People in his inner circle, however, are intelligent – but they are just plain evil.
With the right “America First” leadership, the US economy could quickly recover. Perhaps at least the bleeding could be stopped with a Republican takeover of the House and Senate during the upcoming midterms…

All one has to do is listen to bobiden give his speech about the “incredible transition”….from gasoline cars to electric.
“[When] it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said during a press conference in Japan following his meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.”

b. gates said in 2010 that through “vaccines and reproductive health care…..code for baby-killing of the unborn…he could reduce the population of earth by 10-15%.
In davos, the CEO of pfizer, bourla, said that they intend to reduce the earth’s population by 50% by the year 2023…next year. they decided this in 2019…the year of the “new virus.’
2023…next year.
that’s a “plan” and it’s a very evil one.
“Then, right on cue, Klaus Schwab, and almost comical looking villain with a thick German accent, told Bourla, “So, it’s really a purpose driven company.” (sic)

A long time ago, I read about the Georgia Guide Stones and wondered who had the money to erect them and who was crazy enough to believe we needed to reduce the world population to 500 million people. This past week at Davos we got a good look at these mad men. Shhh you WILL own nothing and be happy. Sounds unbelievable but take a look at the Canadian Government under Justine Trudeau, a sick little global puppet who is still pushing the vaccine and NOT allowing the unvaccinated to get on a bus, a train, a plane or a boat. CONTROL, why are other Canadians allowing this to happen? Does this remind you of another time in history when people stood by and let a madman kill humans?
The World Economic Forum clowns have infiltrated governments worldwide. Zee vill do what zee are told or zee vill cease to exist. To me it is like living a Mad Max movie, but I did not ask to be part of the script.
doctors in Canada have been fired for not taking the jab, yet a Dr. Christopher Sun, has injected more than 500 little children from 6 months to 5, with the vaccine that is not authorized for children under 5. He is still working.
God help us all.

Just wondering. It seems Xi has been given his marching orders and shut down the country to imports and exports, thus adding to the worldwide inflationary spiral.
