US productivity

The Wall Street Journal & CNN Propaganda vs Libertarian John Malone Ownership

Posted on by Helena

The Wall Street Journal claims that Biden’s America is on track to ‘reshore 350,000 jobs’ this YEAR!   WOW!   Amidst growing layoffs…   Amidst numbers that are not published by companies…  Amidst the literal thousands of companies that moved to India and China…?   Amidst an Initiative that was developed in 2017 under – Trump.   However, the WSJ is no fan of President Trump and will re-create talking points fed to it by The Elite.

According to ReshoreNow, as of 2017 they estimated that the US had lost 4 million jobs to offshoring.   Organized by former IBM exec, Carl Carstensen, their goal was to return 1 million jobs to the US.  They now estimate the return of 5 million jobs.  By providing data analytics of the benefits in bringing back jobs from the 100,000 US companies that offshore, Carstensen details offshore costs such as inventory, shipping, and intellectual property risks.

The fact that US Companies have shuttered operations in Russia due to economic sanctions imposed by the Biden WH is NOT ‘reshoring’ – it is ‘profit reduction’.   Reshoring from China is a supply chain reaction that destroyed inventory due to time lags and shortages.    The vast majority is tied to:  EV battery production, semi-conductors, electronic parts, appliances, chemicals and medical equipment.

China’s decoupling has actually been as a result of Trump era tariffs that made Chinese products more expensive.   Biden’s WH is attempting to lift that 25% rate which would bring to a halt any additional reshoring!

But labor shortages in the US have hampered companies who would like to bring back more employee jobs.   According to ReshoreNow, employees in the US need training for these positions.   And the quality of training is abysmal.   But the labor shortage is a global issue.   WHY?

Given the insurance industry has claimed an increase in claims of working age employees by 40% – the impact of the Pandemic policies is the only possible causal factor that would align with global shortages.   Austria reports actuarials of a 15% increase in excess deaths.  And in the UK excess deaths are averaging 1000 per week.

The Wall Street Journal is claiming that the cause of the excess deaths is related to lockdowns wherein people chose to forego medical care…   Repudiating the claim that they are vax related…  Obviously we are NOT in lockdowns – so the justification is propaganda at best, or simply a Lie.

Rarely, does the Biden WH acknowledge that the BLS release of US productivity for the first quarter contracted at a rate more than double the rate during the worst pf the Carter recession crisis!   -7.7 first quarter (revised) and -4.1 second quarter.   Those numbers bely the unemployment numbers being manufactured by a BLS with zero credibility.

NOR are those algorithms being adjusted for the 40% excess deaths…among working age adults.  Which would obviously impact EVERY BL:S number.

Most of the media are relatively honest in their depiction of themselves as a liberal rag.  But when stalwarts like The Wall Street Journal fade into the abyss of propaganda, it leaves a sour taste.  The pretense of being unbiased and reporting facts as journalistic has apparently died a slothful death.

While the recent firing of Brian Stelter from CNN is on the surface a shrug, there is another story beneath.   In 2021, John Malone, a Trump supporter and libertarian bought Warner Media-Discovery which included CNN.   Malone is now calling the shots – and his view is a return to the centrist journalist who reports news instead of elitist scripts read in tandem to the hundreds of other stations.  

The Malone move should give Elon Musk faith that revamping is possible and Twitter could still be a shot if they ante up some actual business facts and truthisms.   Obviously, the value of the stock is far less than its inflated gluttonous market price.   That being said, the largest shareholders to ‘overcome’ include:  Vanguard, Morgan Stanley and Blackrock.   Noteworthy Cartels in their own right.  Twitter shares are now poised at roughly $43.   Rising with absolutely no news to support the rise.   BOTS are coming out of the woodwork!

Perhaps Malone would be willing to coach Musk a bit – fatherly advice.   A potentially interesting coup – only this time it will be the Elite Cartel that takes the hit.

Bureau of Labor Statistics: Fudging Numbers or Lying?

Posted on by Helena

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced that the CPI Index for July remained the same – and dropped slightly.   The CPI uses a bread basket of goods to measure increases and decreases.  When I looked up the items in their bread basket – EVERY single one had risen in July except for ‘field grown tomatoes’ which remained flat.   IF every item in the basket experienced price hikes for July, how could the CPI  Inflation rate be lower? 

The items that spiked the most were:  chicken, eggs, coffee and flour.  Oddly, beef is NOT in their metric…   Electricity continued to grind higher while fuel was somewhat lower.   Housing, healthcare & insurance, and Energy are NOT included in the CPI   Likely because those essentials would spike the Actual Inflation Rate to 30% or more.

The omission of these items was not always the case!   Housing costs were omitted in 1983 and food was omitted in 1999.  Therefore, comparing inflation rates to previous periods before 1999 is a worthless analysis.   Once again – moving the goal posts.   But it would reveal how much more intense this Recession is than prior ones – when the rate of inflation is significantly higher when using pre-1999 measures.

Thru May, ADP aligned their labor reporting with the BLS.   But May’s numbers were exceptionally low for May at 128,000 added jobs.   So ADP shut down their operational reporting claiming they needed to amend their algorithms to be more in line with the BLS.   Algorithms.   Because even ADP does NOT use real actual numbers, they input creative accounting methodologies.   And VOILA!  Suddenly BLS reveals stellar numbers for June and July!

BOOM!

Labor Productivity is another stat released by BLS.   The numbers are NOT stellar:   Revised numbers for the 1st quarter are -7.7 and 2nd quarter -4.   Productivity refers to labor.   It means scarce labor has caused business productivity to contract.  It is a key indicator of economic growth.  Or in this case massive negative growth.  For comparison purposes, since 2000, the worst productivity stat was -3.7 in the 1st quarter of 2014.   2022 is MORE than twice the highest number

Another Comparison: During the Jimmy Carter Recession the max negative productivity was -4.7 followed by the next quarter -1.5.

Our Leaders are NOT providing us with the proper information to make informed decisions about our near or far future.   They are not providing us with an honest appraisal.  Dishonesty is the equivalent of lying.  It is this continued lying that has so disenfranchised Americans and Europeans.   It is this lying of all shapes and sizes, in every corner of our lives that has attempted to delude Americans into a complacency that is unprecedented.  Censoring knowledge.   It is now this ‘knowledge’ that they want to censor via our main source – social media conversations.  Conversations that can cross the Atlantic and Pacific.  Conversations that bypass biased media.

With Germany preparing for riots this winter over shortages that could be mitigated, including energy, it is likely they anticipate using deadly vengeance against the protestors.   Instead of providing relief knowing they are pushing their citizens into a death march, they tighten the screws more – no more coal imports from Russia.   Exactly what do the propose to power heat?   Germany is lying to its citizens.

Lying is an Abuse of Power.   It is why JFK, a Democrat, wanted to dismantle the CIA.   Abuse of Power.   But the Abuse has only expanded exponentially.   Nearly all federal departments have gone rogue including:  CIA, FBI, NIH, CDC, and even the Department of Labor which is fudging numbers.   If our labor force has contracted significantly – it would follow that the means for measuring employment needs drastic realignment in order to relay true statistical information.   It is doubtful that this administration has any intention of providing any such insight given the statistics must coordinate with The Great RESET ambitions.
