The self-hatred pathology of secular (children of) Jews. (Judaism being a religion, and today's Jews being about one-tenth Semitic racial stock, it's silly to pretend it's some sort of race.)
Yes, IMO this is what this is about. Not that they're Jooish. That they grew up in households with money, but with parents who REJECTED their own traditional values, while not adopting any other...a moral anomie zone.
Young people with intelligence, wealth and resources, and NO moral guardrails, will always go bad. That has nothing to do with secret societies where big-nosed men with yarmulkes drink goy blood; but everything to do with the reality that humans need a moral framework, as guardrails.
Now it's gone in Gnu Yark culture; and they're about to get a crazed Moslem Communist as head of their government. And the kidlets are all cheering.

Follow the money, ALWAYS follow the money!
And this is:
USAID — the number one sponsor of propaganda, war, death, and terror, all in the name of socialism.
— In 2022, USAID paid Time magazine $4 million for naming Volodymyr Zelenskyy “Person of the Year.”
— In 2024, USAID paid Politico $8 million.
— USAID was secretly funding the BBC to run anti-Trump and anti-Musk reports — similar to the $300 million given by the Biden administration to Reuters to target @elonmusk
. Reuters later won the Pulitzer Prize for “their work on Elon Musk and misconduct at his businesses.”
— USAID secretly paid $4 billion to Bill Gates, plus an additional $880 million to the WHO, after President Trump withdrew from the “World Death Organization.”
— USAID was funding over 6,200 journalists across 707 media outlets and 279 media NGOs.
Without USAID, fake news would not have existed.

The fiat-dollar as the World's Reserve Currency, led to this.
There's no way around it. The printed-up dollar must collapse. Money must again have legitimacy - must again represent work or wealth.
No fiat can do that. Because of the nature of the hominid mind. If something is cheap or cost-less to create, it WILL be debased.
So. All of us, with wealth or income in dollars - IRAs, portfolios that depend on the present economy, antiSocial inSecurity, etc...we're all going to be put to unspeakable suffering.
Else this insane madness by a perverted, demented Elite class will continue and amp up. Cross-dressers in government? Effete sodomites like Secretary Petey running huge branches of government? All the passengers on Epstein Airlines, including one former President.
And this agency, fueling it. If dollars cost nothing to create, eventually there was bound to be Magic Money Machines. And will be, again, and quickly - we haven't come back from the abyss; it's just that the Fake-And-Gay bureaucracy got caught. Another glitch, another challenge, to them.
Strap yourselves in. And trust in gold.

CJ, money does have legitimacy. Gold is money and to a lesser extent, so is silver.
I understand what you were trying to say though and if you replace the word money with currency you are correct.
At the end of the day the currency value doesn't really matter as long as real money maintains it's purchasing power. It's done its job very well. Melt value of a silver dime is around 2.60 today. Price of gas is around 2.90-3.20.
1964 gas prices were around 25 cents a gallon. Less than 3 silver dimes. 3 silver dimes today is around 7.80 so an argument could be made that silver is very far ahead of itself and needs to pull back by at least 50%.
Of course there is also the argument that it needs to go up by at least 100% to keep up with the price of housing. In 1900 a house cost 5000 dollars or ounces of silver. Today that same 5000 ounces of silver would only be worth about 180,000. So either silver is underpriced or housing is in a huge bubble. I would argue the latter is true and housing needs a huge haircut.

MONEY must have legitimacy.
Printed up fiat, obviously, does not.
Which makes fiat...as you say, not-money.
But we're all told to pretend it's money; believe it's money.
And the crash will be...when the most fearful subject finally says aloud, the emperor has no clothes, the fiat has no value.
The $USD will remain transactional because the system is in place already. However, PMs and BTC are replacing currencies as a store of wealth. Gold moreso in the east because the US got the jump on China with BTC.
If the US changes the color of our bills, then you know the jig is up.

Trump suggests DOGE look at subsidies for Musk's companies to save money
By Nandita Bose, Kritika Lamba and Shubham KaliaWASHINGTON(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump suggested the government efficiency department should review the subsidies Tesla CEO Elon Musk's companies have received in order to save money, reigniting a war of words between the world's most powerful man and its richest.
Trump's remarks on Tuesday came after Musk renewed his criticism of the sweeping tax-cut and spending bill, vowing to unseat lawmakers who supported it after campaigning on limiting government spending.
Tesla shares fell nearly 5% in premarket trading.

'Vulnerable': New alarm as Musk's 'God tier access' to damaging data revealed
Elon Musk may have left working with Donald Trump to return to his heavily government-subsidized businesses, but that doesn't mean he departed without a parting gift from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) he created.According to an analysis conducted by the Washington Post and published on Monday morning, DOGE staffers -- many of them closely tied to the billionaire –– gained access to a treasure trove of private information in seven key government departments that is now raising new alarms among watchdogs and Trump business competitors.

Trump-Musk feud reignites
Elon Musk again blasted President Trump's signature spending bill Monday as the Senate worked through a marathon amendment session to send the measure to the Oval Office by July 4.The latest: Hours after Musk threatened to form a new political party if the "big, beautiful bill" passed, Trump claimed early Tuesday the Tesla CEO "may get more subsidy than any human being in history" and suggested he may have DOGE, which the Tesla CEO once spearheaded, take a "good, hard, look" at the billionaire's companies.

All we ask is a fair playing field.
What we've been getting is the liberal thumb on the scales....

How can it be fraud if the Government is in on it? 326 people steal 14.6 billion and no-one in the government knew it was happening? I strongly doubt it since these programs are some of the most riddled with fraud. Always has been and by the governments own accounts probably a 1/3 of these programs is fraud. Been this way for decades.
