TOM LUONGO: The way forward is to do exactly what Trump is setting in motion. Remove the egregious leverage from the euro dollar system, take control over the international price of the US dollar, making it trade at a premium to domestic dollars.

[1/11] The Financialist Kill Chain has preyed on empires for centuries, hollowing out the British Empire and its descendants. Let’s trace its 7 steps through history, from the 1600s to today, and see how this predatory system works. [1/11]

[2/11] 1694, Infiltration via the Bank of England.  The Glorious Revolution (1688) set the stage. Financialists infiltrated Britain by establishing the Bank of England in 1694. It introduced national debt and bonds, tools for control, making Britain dependent on loans from Continental European banks. Step 1: Infiltration. #FinancialistKillChain [Source: Web ID 1 – bankingjournal.aba.com].

[3/11] 1815, Debt Entrapment During the Napoleonic Wars. By 1815, the Napoleonic Wars ballooned Britain’s debt to 200% of GDP. Financialist families funded the wars, profiting via loans and insider trading (e.g., Waterloo). Britain was trapped in a repayment cycle—Step 2: Debt Entrapment—while wealth flowed to Europe. #FinancialistKillChain [Source: Web ID 0 – en.wikipedia.org].

[4/11] 19th Century, Asset Identification & Extraction Financialists targeted British colonies’ resources: Indian textiles, African minerals, Caribbean sugar. European banks invested, extracting profits via Step 3 (Asset Identification) and Step 5 (Extraction). Britain’s core was drained, funding Europe’s splendor. #FinancialistKillChain.

[5/11] Early 20th Century – Economic Destabilization. Post-WWI, Britain’s war debts soared. Financialists manipulated markets, deepening crises (Step 4: Economic Destabilization). By 1945, the empire was broke, forced into debt-for-asset swaps (Step 5), losing colonies and industries to foreign control. #FinancialistKillChain.

"in 1970, there were 600,000 dairies in this country, and today it's less than 25,000"

It seems to me that cutting the funds to the regulators that are regulating the small producers could be, something that could be a win-win for everybody.

00:12.  I've always thought that.  I just think they, you know, when you get a law like the Food Safety Modernization Act, 2011, [thanks, Obama] I think the underlying purpose of those acts is to consolidate control of the food system.  That's what happened with the Wholesome Meat Act, 1967, which gave us the meat regulatory system we have today.  At the time that Act was passed, I'd seen a congressional report that said meat was a competitive industry, and now you have four companies controlling maybe 85% of the market.  It's not a food safety issue, it's an industry consolidation under the guise of food safety.

00:54.  Where are the antitrust people?  

00:55.  Well, that's it.  The antitrust laws aren't enforced in this country at least in the food sector that I've seen.  It's interesting, I think in 1970 there were 600,000 dairies in this country, and today is less than 25,000.  I don't think they're including the raw milk dairies; these are just the grade A dairies, the dairies that produce milk for pasteurization.  And most of these dairy farmers don't have the resources to have their own bottling plants and pasteurization plants where they don't have to sell their milk to a coop.  And in some of these states, I think Dairy Farmers of America is like the only game in town.  You sell to them or you're not in business.

TWO TEENAGE PAKISTANI MIGRANTS torch the 1879, Bethany English Calvinistic Methodist Chapel on Station Road in Port Talbot

They hate your culture.  They hate you.  But you'll be accused of the hate crime, not them.  Through DEI, they'll take your jobs.  Agendas 2021 and 2030  will build housing to accommodate them, but put your native sons and veterans homeless on the streets.  Oh, did I say, too, that they'll burn to the ground your houses of worship.  Whether you're religious or not, Christian or not, how could you let your sacred places burn to the ground and let it go unpunished.  So what if they're teenagers.  Criminals will do this--send in women and children as a shield for their righteous punishment because they know the West won't harm these groups. 

Replacing you, I mean it, with a mosque? The BBC reports,

Drone footage has captured a fire that broke out at a derelict 18th Century church.

More than 20 firefighters were sent to Bethany English Calvinistic Methodist Chapel on Station Road in Port Talbot at about 18:50 BST on Thursday.

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said crews stayed on the scene until the early hours of Friday to monitor building.

South Wales Police said it had arrested two teenagers in connection with starting the blaze.

A 14-year-old boy from Sandfields, Neath Port Talbot and a 15-year-old boy from Bryn, Neath Port Talbot, have been arrested on suspicion of arson. 

Wales Online provides some history on the chapel.  

The inferno that developed at Bethany Chapel in the centre of Port Talbot has ripped through the historic listed building, which has been around since the town's industrial boom.

The Grade II Listed building stands out from the surrounding shops with its distinctive dressed stone and cast iron railings. Founded as a Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church in 1879, Bethany Chapel served local parishioners late into the 20th century before becoming a library and then closing permanently in 2002.

In the years since, the chapel has lain empty, though it has previously gained permission to be turned into a bar or restaurant. The building then went on sale in 2021, with listing images showing all of the wooden pews in place on the ground floor and the church's mezzanine.
