On a recent Rich Dad’s video with Rich Dad Co-Founders Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and their guest Mark Moss, the following statement was referenced by Henry Alfred Kissinger. The German born Kissinger was a former presidential adviser, U.S. Secretary of State, and National Security Adviser to Presidents Richard M. Nixon (R) and Gerald Ford (R). The quotation was this poser: “If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world.” – Henry A. Kissinger, with that version of the historic statement per AZ Quotes.
In the hit Oliver Stone movie Wall Street, Michael Douglas played the role of a relatively amoral but charismatic character named Gordon Gekko. Manipulation of stocks, fast women, fine cars, luxurious homes with costly art, drinking and drugs are all part of the storyline. Gekko, in a speech during the 1987 classic Wall Street said an often repeated and famous line recalled as:
‘Greed is good.’
Agree or disagree with Oliver Stone’s politics, but he has had a knack for tackling topics that often have serious social, political, and economic consequences. Wall Street and JFK are examples of Stone’s earthy manner of storytelling. Speaking of JFK…
History Matters says: “In 1976, the House Select Committee on Assassinations [HSCA] undertook reinvestigations of the murders of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1979, a single Report and twelve volumes of appendices on each assassination were published by the Congress. In the JFK case, the HSCA found that there was a “probable conspiracy,””
From the federal archives summary of the HSCA – found at this link here – are these pull quotes, under Summary of Findings.
Quoting:
B. Scientific acoustical evidence establishes a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John F. Kennedy. Other scientific evidence does not preclude the possibility of two gunmen firing at the President. Scientific evidence negates some specific conspiracy allegations.
C. The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The committee is unable to identify the other gunman or the extent of the conspiracy.
…
D. Agencies and departments of the U.S. Government performed with varying degrees of competency in the fulfillment of their duties. President John F. Kennedy did not receive adequate protection….
- The Secret Service possessed information that was not properly analyzed, investigated or used by the Secret Service in connection with the President’s trip to Dallas; in addition, Secret Service agents in the motorcade were inadequately prepared to protect the President from a sniper.
- The responsibility of the Secret Service to investigate the assassination was terminated when the Federal Bureau of Investigation assumed primary investigative responsibility.
- The Department of Justice failed to exercise initiative in supervising and directing the investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the assassination.
F. The Federal Bureau of Investigation performed with varying degrees of competency in the fulfillment of its duties.
….
G. The Central Intelligence Agency was deficient in its collection and sharing of information both prior to and subsequent to the assassination. …”
In the wake of Stone’s JFK movie, in 1992, per History Matters, “The massive internal files of the HSCA were unsealed in the wake of the 1992 JFK Assassination Records Collection Act.” It says that the volumes of documents are still being studied 30 years later. Of course, some details have never been made public, sealed by various federal officials.
These example above and some of what follows are instances that could be used to make the case that the true history of our American Republic is as much obscured as it is ‘told.’
Controversial Dr. Joseph Mercola, one of those high on the Biden White House ‘disinformation list’ – along with lifelong Democrat, Robert F. Kennedy Jr – nephew of the assassinated President John F. Kennedy – said the following in an article on 8.20.2022. Per Mercola, “Most ‘Conspiracy Theories’ Are Conspiracy Facts.” It may be hyperbole to says “most” but what ought to be clear is that some things once deemed to be ‘conspiracy theories’ turn out to be a conspiracy fact.
The assassination of President Kennedy is but one example of applying Mercola’s point.
The fact that decades after Kennedy’s death the federal government still has files that have not been released to the public speaks volumes, pun intended.
The notion that the so-called Warren Commission apparently helped obscure some facts that Congressional investigations later brought to light demonstrate the point that some in government ‘public service’ are working for unstated agendas, while others in government public service are at least periodically striving to do what appears to be the right thing.
While the total of the value of the military equipment left behind in Afghanistan is disputed, some think it may be in the range of some $85 billion dollars. So far in 2022, billions of dollars in military equipment have been and will be provided to Ukraine to help them defend against the Russian invasion. Where was the logic behind either abandoning military equipment to the Taliban, some of which has already made its way into China’s and Russian hands?
Wasn’t all of that predictable? In fact, the second video from left leaning and thus more Biden regime friendly, CNBC specifically said that a collapse of the Afghan government was expected by numbers of professionals over a period of years IF the U.S. pulled out. Something similar was said about the U.S. backed South Vietnamese government, which some also saw as corrupt and susceptible to collapse, much like the U.S. supported Afghan government was portrayed by critics. That’s not to argue for staying forever in the Middle East or elsewhere, but rather to reflect the point that the missions were dragged on for political reasons that apparently benefited a few while American taxpayers and citizen-soldiers bore the costs of conflict.
Could it be that this or that crisis, past or contemporary, are effectively created so that a government ‘solution’ could later be found which just happens to benefit a few insiders? Ponder that in the above instances and the following contexts in mind.
On right-of-center Breitbart on 8.20.2022 it says that some 5 million have illegally crossed the southern border into the U.S. since Biden took office. Whatever the actual number, those millions require food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medical care, and more. Anyone with a 2-4 year memory of the news recalls that the U.S. Mexican border was largely secured by a combination of Mexican military, the then-expanding wall, and U.S. border and other support forces during the closing part of the Trump Administration. “Remain in Mexico,” and ending “catch and release” were working. Team Biden’s removing those safeguards has by contrast opened the flood gates and all of the suffering that goes with it in the form of drugs, human trafficking, rapes, and avoidable deaths. That can’t intelligently be attributed to a mere reaction to Team Biden wanting to change away from Trump’s policies to show the world that the Trump era is over in Washington, D.C. Rather, it appears to be an obviously desire part of a broader plan.
Back to Ukraine and the Russian invasion. Since “Biden knew” – because the U.S. intelligence knew – that Putin would invade, it means that Ukraine’s military could have been bolstered months in advance of an invasion. Sufficient deterrence may have saved millions of Ukrainians from becoming expelled from their homes. The costs and consequences of that ongoing war could have been avoided. Who has benefited? China, Russia, and the U.S. military-industrial complex, among others.
In each of these and so many other scenarios, there are those who absolutely have profited from apparently bad decisions and poor policies.
The military industrial complex is churning out equipment for Ukraine. Recall Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Democratic President J.F. “Jack” Kennedy both expressed skeptical views of U.S. military-intelligence and private industry that builds equipment and provides defense supplies. The communists got that notion too. One famously said the west – the ‘capitalists’ – would sell them the Communists the rope that they would use to hang them with. That was Vladimir Lenin. Investments by capitalist firms like BlackRock, Berkshire, Microsoft and an array of other Wall Street and “American” interests in China seemingly prove Lenin’s point. That in turn fuels a military in China that keeps domestic military spending higher than it would otherwise need to be.
It is a tangled web at first, but once ‘follow the money’ insights are applied, and facts are unraveled and understood, then the purpose of such behavior comes into focus.
The solution to the affordable housing crisis is quite well known. It has been for decades. You have to build more affordable housing, right? Duh – that’s not rocket science. But the sale of a robust supply of manufactured homes has been thwarted and blocked for years, despite numerous studies that debunk the various reasons for an undersupply of housing. The result? Less affordable housing benefits a few at greater cost to the many.
Cui bono? Who benefits?
The “usual suspects” – bigger businesses and their billionaire backers/beneficiaries. Note that MHProNews – as believers in free enterprise – that remark should not be taken as a slur against all businesses. It is rather an acknowledgement that for decades, larger businesses with greater capital access often muscled out smaller competitors via a variety of means. That process at times included apparent examples of public officials looking the other way and/or to some degree actively supporting the effort. Does that sound like a conspiracy theory?
If so, then take that concern up with James A. “Jim” Schmitz Jr. and his colleagues who include members of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve. See examples of their arguments that are manufactured home specific.
Then, for more evidence and reasoning from a different source, consider what antitrust-activist Matt Stoller and a colleague had to say in one of the reports linked in our Sunday weekly headlines recap.
Or look at what the AFL nonprofit has to say in another report which tackles the issue of “collusion” between big business, political and economic elites on a global scale. Voices on the left and right have raised the concerns, but they oddly don’t always propose sound solutions.
While even some Republicans mocked the Texas Republican Party (Grand Old Party or GOP) for their platform in 2022, take another careful look at what they had to say earlier this year. Note: MHProNews is manned by political independents, we source from across the left-center-right.
It ought to be obvious that some things are conspiratorial while other things are not.
Facts, evidence, trends, patterns of behavior and applied common sense should be the guides for objectively-minded people, including professionals, investors, and others. The reason there are state and federal laws that include penalties for conspirators and collusion is because such activity is known to exist.
Manufactured housing specific reports are among those below, as well as those that shed light on the broader political-economic picture of America today. Our industry is an evident subset of the U.S. housing industry and U.S. economy. One of the giants of the industry is the former world’s richest man, and still among the top wealthiest on Earth – Warren Buffett. Who accused him of being a conspiracy theorist when he said the following?
Who accused Bill Gates of being a conspiracy theorist – or of engaging in hyperbole – when he said the following about “Warren” – Gates’ longtime friend and ally?

Postscript
One version of the ‘Greed is Good’ clip from Wall Street is as follows.
A slightly longer version, which frames the actual comment by the Wall Street character Gekko is this one.
At the shareholder’s meeting, Gekko (Michael Douglas) announces that ‘greed is good.’ Per American Rhetoric, here is the text of his address to shareholders of the fictional firm he wants to take over.
“Well, ladies and gentlemen, we’re not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political and economic reality. America, America has become a second-rate power. Its trade deficit and its fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions. Now, in the days of the free market, when our country was a top industrial power, there was accountability to the stockholder. The Carnegies, the Mellons, the men that built this great industrial empire, made sure of it because it was their money at stake. Today, management has no stake in the company!”
“All together, these men sitting up here [Teldar management] own less than 3 percent of the company. And where does Mr. Cromwell put his million-dollar salary? Not in Teldar stock; he owns less than 1 percent,” blasts Gekko…
The next line ought to be one that shareholders in certain brands that are MHI members which might consider if or how these next Gekko statements applies to them.
“That’s right — you, the stockholder. And you are all being royally screwed over by these, these bureaucrats, with their steak lunches, their hunting and fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes,” proclaims Gekko.
Cromwell on behalf of fictional Telder Management replies: “This is an outrage! You’re out of line, Gekko!”
In some of the larger manufactured housing brands, an MHI member firm may not have 33 different vice presidents (VPs). But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some questionable practices, such as stock buybacks or failure to invest in the creation of new ground-up locations, new plants, new retail centers. Rather, several of the MHI member brands seem to fit what Bill Moyers, in his flashback address referenced above said:
“There you see the two Americas. A buoyant Wall Street; a doleful Main Street…left to sink or swim on their own. There were no bailouts for them [Main Street, typical Americans and smaller businesses].
Meanwhile, Matt Krantz reports in USA TODAY that “Cash is gushing into company’s coffers as they report what’s shaping up to be a third-consecutive quarter of sharp earning increases. But instead of spending on the typical things, such as expanding and hiring people, companies are mostly pocketing the money or stuffing it under their mattresses.” And what are their plans for this money? Again, the Washington Post:
“…. Sitting on these unprecedented levels of cash, U.S. companies are buying back their own stock in droves. So far this year, firms have announced they will purchase $273 billion of their own shares, more than five times as much compared with this time last year… But the rise in buybacks signals that many companies are still hesitant to spend their cash on the job-generating activities that could produce economic growth.”
That’s how financial capitalism works today: Conserving cash rather than bolstering hiring and production; investing in their own shares to prop up their share prices and make their stock more attractive to Wall Street. To hell with everyone else.
Hear the chief economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Ethan Harris, who told the Times: “There’s no question that there is an income shift going on in the economy. Companies are squeezing their labor costs to build profits.” Think about the various ways that may fit various firms in manufactured housing. Then, go back to Gekko’s address to fictional Teldar Paper.
“The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated.
In the last seven deals that I’ve been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you.
I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them!
The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed — for lack of a better word — is good.
Greed is right.
Greed works.
Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Greed, in all of its forms — greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind.
And greed — you mark my words — will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.
Thank you very much,” concluded Gekko to shareholder applause.
In pondering Moyer’s musings, one must keep the Capital Research Center’s keen insight on “Deception and Misdirection” in mind. Certainly, for decades, U.S. labor has been squeezed by big U.S. corporations that offshored jobs, favored open borders and cheap imported labor, and supported politicians – routinely “Establishment” Democrats but “Establishment” Republicans too – all while engaging in paltering. Half the truths were spoken, nice sounding words for a given audience while key facts were left out.
Today, Walmart – for instance – has tons of self-checkout lanes, few with human cashiers. Those old enough may recall Walmart’s ‘made in the U.S.A., or ‘you are never more than 3rd in line’ pledges. Today, products are often shipped in from China, Vietnam, or other low labor cost nations that may not have the same level of environmental or labor protections that the U.S. gives. Meanwhile, The Walmart Effect costs untold thousands of smaller businesses their existence while shoppers benefited short term, not realizing the longer-term effects being felt by millions of Americans today. See more on that in the report linked below.
We teased above our headlines recap that there are reasons for hope. There are issues that the left and right may be closer on than some may think. There are certainly examples where common ground can be found against the treachery of capitalists who manipulate markets, reduce capital access to their own advantage, and get some associations slyly working for their own benefits while claiming to represent “all segments” of an industry. Consider these next two quotes from two MHI members.
There is potential common ground building. Consider the following:
- A growing number of voices across the left-center-right spectrum are sharing similar views on similar topics. While they may not yet agree on the solution, the fact that they see the root causes of the problems similarly is an apparent form of progress.
- Close to 9 out of 10 Americans think the nation is on the wrong track. Who said? How about the centrist The Hill and right-leaning Forbes? “A stunning 88% of Americans now believe the U.S. is on the wrong track and just 10% believe it is on the right track,” said Forbes on July 5, 2022. Others in media cited that same survey.
- Even pro-Democratic sources, such as the Washington Post or the New York Times, have said that the Democratic Party leadership has apparently been captured by corporate interests. See the screen capture below, but note too the point that Bill Moyers, on left-leaning PBS, made that observation during the Obama-Biden Administration.
- Robert Reich, a longtime Democrat who served in the Clinton Administration, said the following after the 2016 election (11.12.2016).
“It is time for a New Democratic Party.
The old Democratic Party has become a giant fundraising machine, too often reflecting the goals and values of the moneyed interests.
It has been taken over by Washington-based fundraisers, bundlers, analysts, and pollsters who have focused on raising campaign money from corporate and Wall Street executives and getting votes from upper middle-class households in “swing” suburbs.
The election of 2016 has repudiated the old Democratic Party.”
Reich is a Democrat who is not pro-Trump. But Reich made clear something not so different from what MHProNews has been reporting about many Democratic Party leaders for some years. Namely, that big money and corporate interests now rule the Democratic Party. MHProNews’ editorial views are based on evidence, facts, following the money trail, and applying common sense.
When well-known leaders on both sides of the two major party aisles have said for years that the system is rigged, that begs questions. Rigged by whom for whose benefit? The apparent answer is it is rigged by big business interests often (not always) using Democratic politicians who say one thing but do something quite different that obviously will benefit the donor class.
- The elites have been talking and meeting in the open for years. They meet in places like Davos, Switzerland. They are pushing for a system that postures ‘stakeholder capitalism’ but is in fact more like corporatism or facism. They talk of the “Great Reset” and push ESG, but what are the impacts of these policies in practice? ZeroHedge has a new article that says that several Western nations, including Australia and New Zealand are in the hands of forces that are pushing down economic activity collectively in the name of ‘climate change.’ They point out that the inevitable outcome of higher costs and lower activities will benefit a few while simultaneously harming the masses. Here is how ZeroHedge said it.
“There is no precedent for this. Never before in the history of industrialized nations has any government intentionally tried to lower its economic activity. It has never been done with intent before because within the contraction nations get more poor, people suffer.
Not only has no single nation ever tried to intentionally shrink its wealth, but there is no precedent whatsoever for an alliance of nations to join together with the same purpose. While this might seem like an academic economic modeling exercise, unfortunately it is very real. What I am describing is happening right now, and we had better start talking about it before the unforeseen consequences start to become a crisis.”
PBS’ Moyers said on 7.12.2017: “How did it come to pass that of the two political parties, the Democrats — who have long fought for the underdog, civil rights, consumer protections, universal health care, the minimum wage and for unions against powerful interests that try to crush them — have now been branded in large swaths of the country as the party of the establishment and the elites?”
On 11.3.2010 (Obama-Biden Administration era), Moyers said the following in a speech entitled: “Welcome to the Plutocracy!” Moyers cited: “data by the economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez. They found that from 1950 through 1980, the share of all income in America going to everyone but the rich increased from 64 percent to 65 percent. Because the nation’s economy was growing handsomely, the average income for 9 out of l0 Americans was growing, too – from $17,719 to $30,941. That’s a 75 percent increase in income in constant 2008 dollars.
But then it stopped. Since 1980 the economy has also continued to grow handsomely, but only a fraction at the top have benefitted. The line flattens for the bottom 90% of Americans. Average income went from that $30,941 in 1980 to $31,244 in 2008. Think about that: the average income of Americans increased just $303 dollars in 28 years.”
During the all-too-brief years that Trump held the White House, the swamp was not drained. The border wall was started but was not finished. Incomes for working class Americans did rise, but they are now effectively falling again as a result of what some dub “Bidenflation.” Like Trump’s personality or not, he was effective at getting millions of Americans a better life. Like Biden or not, the Biden-Harris Administration is known for apparently inept domestic and foreign policies. But a more careful look reveals that a few are benefiting wildly, while the majority are watching their standard of living decline.
Every crisis is an opportunity in disguise. Slain Democratic President John F. Kennedy understood that well. It is in this growing convergence of various avoidable yet apparently engineered crises that the hope lies.
Because Thomas Jefferson and the founding father’s were right when they wrote in the Declaration of Independence the following:
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
The Great Reset has been a topic on MHProNews since 2020. Wikipedia said the following immediately under this video on YouTube:
“The Great Reset Initiative is the name of an economic recovery plan drawn up by the World Economic Forum in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was launched in June 2020, with a video featuring Charles, Prince of Wales released to mark its launch.” Instead of watching something else, take the time to watch this discussion. by Robert Kiyosaki, Mark Moss.
“The Great Reset Initiative is the name of an economic recovery plan drawn up by the World Economic Forum in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was launched in June 2020, with a video featuring Charles, Prince of Wales released to mark its launch.” So says the summary under the Rich Dad video. It continues as follows.
“At the World Economic Forum meeting last November, Klaus Schwab, the founder, and chairman of the WEF, Henry Kissinger, heads of state, and other billionaire power brokers determined that by 2030, the little people “will own nothing and be happy.” Today’s guest explains that these ideologies are both dangerous and evil. Henry Kissinger is quoted as saying, “If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world.” History tells us this is true. Mark Moss, author of his new book “Uncommunist Manifesto” says, “Per the UN, it’s estimated 860 million people could starve to death in the next 24 months.” Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Mark Moss discuss Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum, and “The Great Reset”.”
MHProNews has brought our readers voices warning of what the Big Lie of the Great Reset actually means, while accurately citing the sources of these problematic claims by going to the WEF’s own words.
Reasons for Hope
This growing realization on the left and right that the nation is on the wrong path is being manifest in elections since 2020. Once purple or blue districts have been flipped by candidates who at least say that hold to an “America First” and “Americans First” set of values espoused by deposed President Donald J. Trump.
For those nervous about Trump being the leader of that effort, a look at the potential future of the GOP reveals that it has several higher profile politicos that could step into Trump’s shoes at some point in the future. They are “MAGA.” Kari Lake, not yet governor of Arizona, is already being named by some as a possible future running mate with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. She was profiled in one of the reports linked above.
The major parties have at various times had members of the financial elites that ‘bought’ certain candidates. The financial elites learned years ago to buy and/or influence via ads and other methods much (not all) of mainstream legacy media.
Some say there is also a religious awakening underway. If so, that could prove healthy. Who says? Founding father and first President, George W. Washington.
MHProNews has always advocated for morally, ethically, and spiritually sound approaches in business. None of us are smarter than God. Someone this writer knows very well said it was in medical school that she became keenly aware of God’s existence. In studying the human body, it was obvious that this complex mechanism could not have simply ‘evolved’ by mere accident. The face looking back at your in the mirror is an amazingly complex organism that works in marvelous ways when it is properly cared for; but abused, things go wrong. Our society is something like a human body. Abuse it, and things go wrong. Abusing God’s laws will always ultimately lead to problematic consequences, that is why God forbid certain things in the first place. Who argues against that? The Devil and his minions. George Washington and dozens of America’s founders understood these notions.
If a “great awakening” is occurring and if a rejection of “the great reset” is underway, these are reasons for hope. Naomi Wolf is certainly correct that if people do nothing, then freedom will be lost. In our profession, some are profiting from underperformance of the industry. They use the Big Lie and Paltering. They say things that sound good, look good, but when the history or trend lines are examined, the manufactured home industry – and America is similar in some respects, like the Walmart effect, or what Moyer’s described – is underperforming by historic standards.
It is madness for U.S. political leaders to be essentially rewarding Communist China. Having the southern border effectively open is madness, or is it that the crisis benefits a few while harming the many?
There are a string of policies, foreign and domestic, that benefit a few insiders but are harmful to the vast majority of Americans. It isn’t that Bill Moyers wasn’t paltering himself. But in focusing on certain key takeaways from Moyers, from Reich, from others across the left right spectrum, a picture emerges that can prove useful to our profession and nation.
Trump was working to reframe those dynamics in stages; the BlackRock and other Wall Street types that are heavily invested in China and the status quo therefor wanted Trump out. They have been smearing Trump since he rode that golden escalator down with Melania in Trump Tower, despite that fact that he was once lauded by Hollywood, big media, and so many others who have since turned on him in the “big smear.” President Kennedy was assassinated. President Trump was character assassinated. He continues to be smeared, not to say that he is some angelic saint. But the brash tactics, big claims, and nothing to show for it results (other than removing him from office) are reasons why some who doubted him are pivoting to embrace his policies in the wake of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
But this new hope is not based on a mere man. Trump himself said during the last Christmas season that America needs a savior. He said it is not him. Trump, an odd personality to be proclaiming Christ as Savior has repeatedly done just that. Trump is setting the stage for a movement that will continue on well after he has gone on to meet his Maker. He has said several times that God plays a central role in saving the American Republic.
God is not mocked, says Scripture. Well, actually, God is mocked quite a bit. Then what does God is not mocked really mean? In the final analysis, God’s words are proven to be true. God’s words in the end will prevail. Evil doers can and do come to a bad ending.
Does that mean that humanity can just sit back and wait for God to do it all? No, because ancient wisdom inspired by the Word said “Ora et Labora,” Prayer and Work. God gives mankind free will. God informs us of what is right and wrong. The Lord our God also warned us against being tricked by smooth talkers.
The consequences of inaction can be quite the same as supporting or voting for those who have hijacked Democrats and Establishment Republicans. Trump’s vision has been to hijack the Republican Party and turn it into a MAGA party, an American Jobs, American Workers, America First party that favors the working and middle class and retirees over the financial elites. MHProNews/MHLivingNews has been reporting on these trends for years, as has our sister site. Why? Because we see what Warren Buffett and his ilk have said in their own words and watch what they have done. Are there reasons for hope? Yes. It will require prayer, work, voting for the correct candidates, working for election integrity, and several commonsense steps. Yes, the Constitution may be under assault. Yes, the federal government is being weaponized to various degrees, all while posturing as working for the people. If so, why do 88 percent think the nation is on the wrong track?
The Tower of Babel was toppled in the Bible. A new Tower of Babel is being erected by the financial elites and their politicians in the U.S. and in several nations abroad. But farmers in Holland (the Netherlands) are pushing back. Truck drivers in Canada rose up to push back. In England and Australia, people are waking up to the obvious disconnects between the big claims on fighting the ‘climate change’ threat with EVs that are as or more harmful to the environment as gas powered cars are.
The Big Lies, in short, are being exposed for what they are. Paltering. Clever “deception and misdirection.” We the People must be smarter than the big liars. We the people must turn to God and also turn to the practical meaning of God’s word. It is precisely in the darkness of the various crises that threaten the good people and independent professionals in our industry and the American Republic that a genuine awakening is possible. Risks continue but hope springs eternal just as darkness precedes the dawn. ###
