Today’s posting holds far more implications than simply the reportage itself. a fellow at the Heritage Foundation, said: “President Joe Biden was "very misleading" in his remarks about Friday's jobs report showing that U.S. employment increased less than expected in December.
"We have one of the record lowest labor force participation rates today ... and that is the big problem right now," Moore told Newsmax's "National Report."
"We would have about 5, 6, 7 million more people working if we just got labor force participation back to where it was" under former President Donald Trump.
“While the economy added jobs at a far lower rate than economists had predicted, the unemployment rate dropped to 3.9%, a rate Biden praised as being a "historic day for our economic recovery." He also argued that the report reflected how Americans are quitting their jobs in favor of work that offers better pay and benefits."
In this case, a much-overstated picture of the nation’s economic performance was presented to the public by the president. Yet, as dire as data fabrication may be, the perils of its occurrence are far greater than simply the particular falsehoods involved. Because if one as powerful as the nation’s leader feels perfectly comfortable disseminating that kind of misinformation, he (and those around him) must believe quite strongly that significant portions of the voting public either won’t grasp the falsity or are incapable of that level of analysis.
Furthermore, an abiding mainstream media facilitates dishonesty from leadership, by disseminating manipulated information across a generally uneducated public. And it’s here that a foreboding attributed to Nikita Khrushchev can be seen to be showing signs of insidiously taking hold.
Speaking before the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, on September 23, 1960, Khrushchev is accredited with having told Americans that the Soviet Union would feed “small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism.” Khrushchev’s theoretical “eight levels of [socialist] control were captured by socialist Saul Alinsky in his ideas on “How to Create a Socialist State.”
“1) Healthcare – “Control healthcare and you control the people.”
“2) Poverty - Increase the poverty level as high as possible; poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them.
“3) Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
“4) Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government That way you are able to create a police state.
“6) Education - Take control of what people read and listen to and take control of what children learn in school.
“7) Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what is best for the people.
“8) Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.”
In today’s case, the president’s actions indicate belief at the Executive Level that the general public cannot grasp the economic complexity of the nation’s employment status. Otherwise, he would not have attempted to present such clearly false information through a channel as large as the mainstream media.
And why is this significant mass of the population incapable of comprehending the facts? In large part because teachers unions have seen to pursuing leftist agendas in public school curriculums, while “dumbing down” student bodies simultaneously. In fact, had it not been for effects of Corona virus permitting housebound parents to involve themselves more closely with course material pursued by their offspring at home, the extent of educational devaluation might still remain unknown.
Fortunately, Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin’s campaign went far to expose leftist efforts in public school education, providing an inroad against student mind-control in that state and stimulating efforts elsewhere in the nation.
So, what we have here is a quite interesting dichotomy as on one hand the left used massive welfare extensions to “Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.“ And by providing the time for those receiving the dole to observe what was being crammed into what Rush used to call ‘little heads full of mush,” paved the way for rebellion against that very same system.
It’s like Wile E. Coyote carefully building the biggest and heaviest birdseed feeder there ever was to lure the Roadrunner, and then dropping it on himself.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
