The Decline of the USA

The topic of the decline of the USA is nothing new.  It’s been an ongoing process for many decades.

However, our new Hologram administration is determined to accelerate our demise.

So far, in January 2021, violent crimes in NYC are up OVER 120% from last year.

Most of the crime has risen simply because of the destruction in jobs thanks to lockdowns.

But some of the rise has been inspired by Dems supporting “Defund the Police” before the election.

Results  of Defunding the Police

The NYPD has admitted that crime in the “first eleven months of 2020 surged to levels unseen in years.”

Gun arrests in November were up 112%.

The problem no one wants to talk about is how more than 70% of serious crimes in NYC go unsolved.

And this provides a greater incentive to engage in the “what’s yours is mine mentality.”

Definitely not good.

Unfortunately, politicians can’t (or don’t want to) figure out that the middle-class, and higher, have a greater probability to be able to work remotely.

When you compare this to the lower classes – which rely on the physical presence as their means of income – you’ll see a huge disparity.

Violent Crimes and Decline of USA

Unfortunately, the lockdowns have had a disproportionate impact on the poor…making them even poorer.

As a result, the rise in violent crimes historically correlates to the economic decline.  And this eventually increases the rise in civil unrest…and eventually war.

By dethroning Trump, politicians believe that things will simply go back to normal.

Sorry, but that ain’t gonna happen.

Instead – and thanks to the Supreme Court REFUSING to rule on the Texas lawsuit – they’ve unleashed nothing but violence.

Maybe this is what they want.

And maybe they believe it will allow them to enforce more controls over “The Great Unwashed Masses.”

And maybe, just maybe their contempt for average American citizens, and their hatred for this country will reach a boiling point sooner than later.

The good news is they will ultimately fail.

The markets know this in advance.

And they’re starting to shift.

They realize that the O’Biden/Hologram administration is doing everything by executive order (42 in the first two weeks and counting).

And this, in effect, is denying a representative form of government that at least pretends those in Congress vote on our behalf.

The decline of the USA is accelerating.

And the markets will respond accordingly.

But their movement will fool most people/investors.

Instead of falling into their trap, learn how to prosper AND thrive in Turbulent Times (HERE).

And share this with a friend…They’ll thank You later.
