First central bankers, the mainstream media, and academia tell you there is no inflation.
Then, when inflation becomes undeniable, they tell you not to worry because inflation is only “transitory.”
Then, when it becomes apparent that it’s not merely transitory, they tell you not to worry because inflation is actually a good thing.
It’s not uncommon to see ridiculous headlines like this:
And this…
What kind of person thinks higher grocery, gas, clothing, rent, and medical care costs are a good thing? The only ones who do are fools or those who benefit from lowering the standard of living of everyone else. It’s like saying America needs more tapeworm infections. It’s repugnant.
Please don’t believe this absurd deception.
They’re spitting on your boots and telling you it’s raining.
The reality is that inflation is out of control, there’s nothing that can stop it, and it’s poisonous for individuals and the economy.
It’s no surprise there is a lot of confusion surrounding inflation. That’s because relentless propaganda has muddled the issue for many years.
That’s why I will show you the true Big Picture about inflation and what you can do about it. It’s absolutely crucial you know about it.
Let’s start with the basics and build from there to reveal what is really happening.
Inflation is one of the most misused words in the English language.
The original definition of inflation was an increase in the money supply.
However, the government, the media, and academia have tried to redefine inflation to mean an increase in prices over the years.
For example, from its founding in 1828, Webster’s Dictionary had always defined inflation as an increase in the money supply. Then in 2003, it changed the definition to mean a rise in the general price level.
The difference might seem subtle, but it’s not. It’s an attempt to deceive you by changing the language.
Redefining inflation to mean an increase in prices instead of an increase in the money supply confuses cause and effect, which is precisely the point.
Rising prices are not inflation. They are a symptom of it.
The correct way to think of inflation is that it occurs when the money supply increases, which causes prices to increase.
Defining inflation as a rise in prices conceals who is causing this unnatural occurrence to happen. Therefore, the direct victims of this fraud are confused about what is happening and who is perpetrating it.
It would be like redefining robbery to mean a mysterious loss of property—as if the person who caused the theft to occur, the robber, magically disappeared from the equation.
Manipulating how people think about a topic by changing the meaning of words is sophisticated propaganda, and it fools many people.
Here’s the bottom line.
Inflation—an increase in the money supply—is a purely political phenomenon.
The butcher, the local gas station, or the car makers are not responsible for inflation. Instead, the government is solely responsible because it has monopoly control over the money supply.
So, why do governments increase the money supply?
They do so because it allows them to generate more money than they otherwise could through direct taxation and issuing debt.
In other words, inflation is an indirect, hidden, and insidious tax that the government takes from the populous without its consent.
It’s also important to note that inflation is not a new swindle.
Even in ancient times, governments would clip their gold and silver coins surreptitiously to raise money. Today’s central banks are engaging in the same scam but on a scale orders of magnitude larger.
Here’s the ugly truth the government, the mainstream media, and academia don’t want you to know…
The Federal Reserve and other central banks only exist to steal money from you through inflation and redirect it to the politically connected. That is their primary purpose, and it always has been.
Money represents your time and energy—your life. So they are, in fact stealing your life via inflation.
Any honest assessment of the situation reveals that it’s a tyranny of historic proportions—like feudalism and slavery.
That’s why they go through such lengths to propagandize and confuse you about inflation. They know the truth is ugly, and they don’t want you to know about it or their role in it.
Inflation has financially wiped out countless millions throughout history. Don’t be one of them.
The good news is that you can turn lemons into lemonade. By making the right financial moves, you can not only avoid crippling losses but actually benefit from inflation.
The key is to put your money into hard assets resistant to inflation.
