We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

Manufacturers may, retailers (or folks who do both, and depend on mixed stream retail income) are still screwed. There are also significant operating costs associated with amazon, since you're routinely competing with, e.g., a chinese sweatshop knocking off your product.

quote:

“JUST A FLY IN THE OINTMENT. THE MONKEY IN THE WRENCH. THE PAIN IN THE rear end.”

The New World Order steals Russia’s wealth while inventing new sanctions. Sanctions that Joe Biden said don’t work.One news event you won’t often hear the war drum-banging mainstream media mention is Putin tying the Russian Ruble to gold.

This is a direct challenge to ‘King Dollar,’ which has been the world’s reserve currency for far too long. Other leaders have tried to avoid the dollar. Iraq went to the Euro in exchange for their oil. Soon after, the US invaded and Saddam Hussein was murdered.

Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi wanted a gold-based currency. Soon after, the US bombed his country and Gaddafi was murdered. Now we’re seeing how the US would love a ‘regime change’ in Russia as Biden put it, but unlike bullying smaller countries, the US knows any direct attempt to take Putin out could lead to nuclear war.

Putin plays 3-D chess. Biden can’t even play checkers because he’s too busy tracking down his jello cup.

The Democrats who carry out the game plan for the New World Order oligarchs know Biden is a blithering mess and that interferes with their plans. After being shunned by Obama, I don’t expect Biden to finish out his term.

By tying his country’s currency to gold, Putin has tossed a big monkey wrench into the turning gears of the globalists. If India and China go along with Russia, we could see some real fireworks. The New World Order needs the dollar to complete their plans to enslave the world by means of a digital dollar and a social credit system.

Putin doesn’t want this. Like the recently reelected Viktor Orban in Hungary, Vladimir Putin is a nationalist who has the best interests of his own country at heart. By contrast, Biden hates America.

Why else would he shut down domestic oil, leave our borders wide open, bring about massive inflation, and pepper us with dictatorial (and useless) Covid mandates? We need to stay out of Ukraine and concentrate on fixing our own country.

A return to a gold-based dollar would be a start, but how much gold is in Fort Knox? Probably very little. There has been no audit since the late 1950s. Whatever gold was there has most likely been replaced with gold-sprayed tungsten, a metal that weighs the same as gold.

Since we allowed private globalist bankers to take over our money system in 1913 and then systematically rob us blind, the US has been in the steady decline. We’ve lost too many lives through useless wars, had the fruits of our labor and our freedom stolen from us, and now they want to steal what makes human beings human by means of their woke nihilism.

The Great Reset is a launch of globalist neo-serfdom where citizens have no freedom.

We are to shut up and do as we’re told while pedophiles at the top insist we celebrate the never-ending ‘trans’ mockery. We will own nothing and eat bugs while the oligarchs own and control everything.

Biden has already mumbled about how he leads the New World Order. Putin is one of the few who is standing up against those insane plans. It’s not that I admire Putin the dictator.

I simply despise our own dictators much more.

Good old Putin! Standing up to the (((new world order))) and Evil Joe Biden (who still isn't the real president), and doing the right thing by tying the ruble to gold, like in the Good Old Days before the (((international bankers))) got into our money!

Putin is a gaudy destructive force masquerading as something capable of fixing things, AGC.

Every line of that rant is nonsense, even the first (who says "the monkey in the wrench"?). The whole thing is just blaming Biden is a dictator who hates America because of oil prices and Covid, but Putin is just a much better dictator because NWO (ignore the much much worse poo poo he's doing).

And no, tungsten is not the same density as gold, there is enough difference that any measuring device you would use for gold bars would show this.

Wait I thought The Great Reset stuff started when that Davos guy said out loud that the goal is to turn everybody into renters of all things and consolidating the ownership class, something people like Garrison and the right wingers are all on board with. I guess it's morphed into generic Elders of Zion stuff now? Why is Putin being praised here for gumming up the machine from ending the reset, is Garrison pro-reset after all?

I swear at one point he claimed that the Fed was hoovering up as much gold as possible to either A) prevent anyone from obtaining it, forcing fiat currency upon the land or B) because they secretly know its value and the elites still use it as a de facto currency in their dealings.

Not only does this imply Hunter Biden's business deals are actually a good thing and it would have been bad to stop them, but also they're tied to Biden despite not being dead yet?

Nah, it isn't good. He's complaining about climate change while working for a petrostate. Even ignoring that, the joke is something that trite standup comedians were saying thirty years ago.
