@Foogle6594 Peter started out with STRATFOR in the 2000s, where they continually did white papers for US and global clients, to include DoD, defense ministries, foreign governments, huge industrial sectors all over the world, finance, transportation, intelligence agencies, etc. He's not a YouTube guy who relies on YouTube for income. I suspect he recognized YouTube as the new marketing medium standard, where if you don't have a channel, you won't be taken seriously.

@juanzingarello4005 A lot of people have used credit cards to pay for basic necessities over the past 3 years to compensate for inflation. Home mortgages typically hover around 35-39% of your income. That jumped up to 52% for buyers in 2021-2022, which is unprecedented. It puts a tight squeeze on the rest of their household budget for groceries, comrade Biden-su gas prices, car repairs, work-related food and marginal expenses out if the home, vacations, etc.

@AliceinWonderlandzz The US Government at a National and most State levels was taken over by organized crime from the late 1800s through 1920s, becoming fully-entrenched during Prohibition. Because the biggest organized crime rackets had legitimized by then, they had just as much interest in maintaining strong economic growth and security, provided their labor unions and contractors were fed a continual diet of tax money. They just upscaled the racket and wrapped an American flag around it, even though they were mostly Irish, Russian Jews, Italians, and Sicilians displacing WASP control of New England, while pimping their illicit trade to the Southern Bible Belt. Precious few PoliSci professors are well-versed in this history because they buy into worthless political ideology arguments that ignore ground truth.

@LucasFernandez-fk8se Combine that with a select strategic default on Chinese pay-outs since they launched a people's war against us, and start charging Europe, Pacific, and Middle East for our security services.

Elites don't like new money crowding their yacht docks and private jet parking, their favorite restaurants, and resorts. It's a practical problem for them with a set of solutions to push the new wealth down, even if it means crushing millions of middle class into poverty/near poverty.

@AliceinWonderlandzz Everyone with influence got a vote. Everything I'm talking about is part of the historical record, not a conspiracy theory. Read up on the Potato Famine, Reconstruction, Tammany Hall, Prohibition, and The Great Depression. Look at who Prohibition agents weren't allowed to investigate or raid (Congress, State Legislatures, City Halls, Chiefs of Police...), and look at how organized crime took over unions, local, State, and DC governments, services, government contracts, construction, port surveillance, sexual blackmail of the FBI, transportation and logistics for OSS, etc. Papa Joe Kennedy was made SEC Chairman after swindling millions out of people. FDR was made defacto head of the National Labor Unions with the National Industrial Recovery Act in 1933, after 10 years of rapid union membership decline. It isn't a singular dark cabal, but just various factions weaseling into power and influence over our government. That includes the Brits, Germans, French, and Russians in that era.
