The Great Pretending and The Big Lie

Bidenomics---Trouble ahead

This article will get linked not for its title and presumed content, but for the term I see there all the time. It is called the "Great Pretending".

In this article, it is brought up in connection with parsing of language. Durable goods aren't selling, so the spin is in the use of the word "destocking".

Whatever language is being used, the basic idea is that the truth is not being told. Whether it is the Great Pretending or the BIG LIE, it is one and the same.

We are told that it is a great economy, but keep in mind all of the spending and the huge deficits.

The numbers seem to indicate that the government spending side of the economy is where the jobs are coming from. It is almost like the government is replacing the private sector. The economy is being socialized.

Figures don't lie, but liars figure. The government can spend vast sums of money and make the economy look better than what it really is. The government can do this because of its unlimited borrowing and money creation tools. But what happens when the dollar collapses?

This is all happening rather slowly, so it may not happen before the next election. But if it does happen, what will be the response from the public?

The Great Pretending or the BIG LIE can be spun for only so long. However, it needs to work only as long as the next election. Then it can continue after the regime is safely in power for awhile longer. If this goes on long enough, the powers-that-be will make themselves a permanent ruling class, and there won't be any way to vote the bums out. That's where it is all headed.

If the ruling class cannot win through propaganda, then they'll turn to cheating. If cheating and propaganda doesn't work, then they'll outlaw all opposition. There is no Democracy without free and fair elections. Seems odd that they want to throw people in jail for questioning election results, that is, if the ruling class was truthful to begin with. Since it isn't, it makes perfect sense that it is all a part of the BIG LIE. The BIG LIE is that the public wants this. The BIG LIE is that it is all inevitable.

It's amazing how many people seem to be falling for it, but how many are really falling for it? We can't ever know, or be allowed to know. Where is the opposition? You won't ever hear from them because they won't be heard. That's how a totalitarian system works. The truth gets smothered, and the BIG LIE rules.
