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.

Heart (ATTACK) PALPITATION tech attack has begun once again---the creeps are ordering my facial muscles to be "pulled" downward--it is a burning sensation and my muscles are being pulled downward obviously ---my heart is palpitating the horrid sensation of the "burning" of the technology is doubtless ---not my body reacting but an endless heart attack at very slight level being implemented on me beginning just now--I was writing about gavin newsom and a podcast sabby sabs had made today or yesterday about newsom's obsession with supporting reagan as his hero. The money greed selfishness doctrine of the yuppie era is something that newsom still adheres to with his euro-nazi contract made out of non-stop deadly torture of me--for years and years this has been an ongoing event by pelosi, s-negger the former gov of ca and the whorewood ensemble making millions and billions of dollars off the ideas from me they have stolen for years and years and years funding provided by the english crown and influential english with german and french backing, etc (russian as well under baryishnikov a horrid terrorist psychopath truly not right in the noggin sadistic and bringing in non-stop english abuser nazis but famous theater people turned celebrity can recite shakespeare want jews genocided out in america in particular and somehow I am the only one representing their goals at this time--for over 15 years actually all my life but to continue---they are attacking my heart is is a murder weapon---hoping that the democrat party will do more than put another reagan nazi trump-endorsed do-nothing yapping about democracy and the american people into any more positions of power--americans had better stop watching msnbc or the new whatever it is, and all these podcasters and instead begin to think independently and organize some resistance to the obviously rigged election processes the outcome is almost assured that newsom is going to represent--just a continuation--obama and hillary will come out to suck more campaign fincnes with their bs rhetoric about how wonderful they are with seemingly astute sparkling clean speeches well-groomed and orchestrated.
