Deception/Lies: some of the biggie opiates of The People (in addition to "Religion" as Karl Marx and his fans would repeat).

 



Inflation reaches highest level since 1982 as consumer prices jump 7% in 2021




I went to the usual main marketplace/shopping mall/outlets a few days ago and prices have increased almost double-fold for many items in just the past two weeks. From small appliances such as fans to prices of food, it's nearly double. I have not heard of any type of shipping bottleneck supply-chain problem here in Thailand so no "excuse" for this huge increase/inflationary trend has been made. Ostensibly it is for tourism and to make-up for the years of lack that have created huge gaps in revenues for these huge conglomerate chains. The Tesco Chains have divested from the Tesco-Lotus brand and have returned to their corporate headquarters of England (or wherever, they have left Thailand). The store has exactly the same items minus the Tesco products which were few so the store which is now just called Lotus's is the same place with exactly the same items. But prices have gone up for all the stores in my vicinity. If I attempted to go to an outdoor Thai market for produce I would end-up paying what the Thais always charge me anyway: double the price they do for Thais. No prices are ever listed at these markets! But anyways---I hope the prices will be lowered once "high season" is over in May when rainy season kicks the tourists out. I also have to add that at smaller Mom n Pop stores in Phuket such as the dollar stores ("20 Baht" stores) no hike in prices is evident. No claims in Phuket newspapers about the result of "inflation" causing such huge hikes in prices because everyone knows prices always go up around peak holiday times of the New Year in these tourist places.

Thusly, I am skeptical of the US claims, or excuses, about supply chain problems and inflation being to "blame".

Retailers, conglomerates and their huge multi-international outlets are "making up" for lost revenue but people don't want to hear the reality of why. They need something to blame and these entities are easy to use as shields against just plain profit motive for quarterly losses for the past 2 years of the pandemic.

All I am doing is fighting to not be poisoned/drugged raped to death and more fascist nazi politicians like trump not put in office for brutalizing me (for years). The blue wave of newsom is just white nazi "liberal" men taking the controlled opposition side, the "progressives" are very guilty the white progressives act like closeted nazis the hate and racism they openly display towards me but in the "private" enclosure of fully-protected nazi teleportation. //Not a single political candidate for office of president will help me to block this trump brigade of sleazy dirty disgusting ugly rancid and in most important ways, utterly stupid blank scumgbags, instead they all join in. All the giggly cackling ones, the smiling "make america like roman and greek democracy" used car californication sales scumbags like new old scum---and the rest just all falll in line. Established crap like raskin are the minority nazis who have been promoted for putting pelosi's january 6 committee nito a public airing diverting from the actual DOJ investigation--and along with pelosi comes raskinn and all the rest all viciously assaulting me--meaning ALL politicians and anyone not eagerly a nazi in drag in the closet is too timid terrified to do more than smirk and laugh, joining in to appear that they are in complete agreement, if even those types exist.//Mutilation/slicing under cuticle to a severely damaged finger--15 years of knives slicing into my cuticles almost every night--my hands comletely deformed--(plus countless other nightly slashes, poisoning to my body skin and internally plus non-stop torture abuse using teleportation plus global all-business discrimination across-the-board all businesses landlords and then family and government up to all presidents, all candidates for president, all governors all senators all house reps and all of society). I put on a pair of opera gloves, then another pair of gloves with a sock tied to the end, then a wrap-around string which I tighten as much as possible, then another elastic band to tighten the string, then wrist bands which I wrap around as tightly as I can without extreme blood flow constriction, and one hand already bound up can't tie the other band as tightly as possible so they always get one of the hands every night--on top of that is a pair of compression socks--I double over the top layers of socks and than have a tightly-sewn long-sleeve sleepp shirt I also had to sew a mouth covering for due to my gum tissue being cut to the bone--underneath that they sliced my already entirely gouged out cuticle for left middle finger --swollen, red the veins on my hands perpetually swollen and enlarged due to non-stop healing attempts. Alll nais are black, almost all nails from complete destruction of cuticles and the nail bed.
