“As the days dwindle down to a precious few” ….. government and its allies get more desperate.
The data do not improve, in spite of the largest stimulus the world has ever seen. What to do? Why lie, of course. If that fails, lie some more. After all, we wouldn’t want the people to know what is happening to them. Why they might try to protect themselves and their families! That would make things worse for politicians and that apparently is the only group that counts.
James Quinn says that:
The powers that be, with the help of their lackeys in the mainstream media are desperately trying to convince you that everything is alright. It is not alright. It is getting worse by the day.
The data are inconsistent and illogical. As the old phrase goes: “the numbers just don’t add up.”
Mr. Quinn is particularly incisive and brutal when he encounters duplicity. In his analysis, he makes a strong case against published numbers that don’t jive:
Have you noticed the latest sound bites coming from the punditry in the corporate mainstream media? Here is the latest wisdom flowing from the lying mouthpieces of the ruling oligarchy (Wall Street, Washington DC, Mega-corporations):
The economy is recovering and employment is growing.
Consumers are deleveraging, saving and using cash for purchases.
Retailers are doing fantastic as consumers increase spending.
These are the three themes being proclaimed simultaneously by the mainstream media. Every time I hear these themes proclaimed, I want to shout out like Joe Wilson – “YOU LIE!!!”
Mr. Quinn presents a strong case for the numbers being incorrect or at least the conclusions based on them as being incorrect. His analysis should be read by anyone who believes what they are being told by their so-called leaders or anyone who wants to better understand our condition.
