Supply chains shrinking (worldwide), food prices soaring & becoming less & less available (worldwide) due to US & other govts. interference with farmers, US military now in a number of hospitals in Blue States to “assist with medical personnel shortages” (& you know FEMA will become involved eventually), inflation rising steadily, The Fed to raise interest rates, energy & petrol prices steadily rising, home prices moving higher, stocks falling, people still losing jobs (regardless of what you hear/read). Lots more to list, but sure you already know.
They ease up on the jab & mask mandates to make the population relax, not hoard, nor prepare further and use up what stored supplies they have, etc., except in Australia/NZ, where they’re still pounding the daylights out of The People (interesting). This is done while our so-called representatives in all branches formulate & move whatever is needed into place for the next round, which, if not mandates brought into full reality, it certainly will be economic in scope. (They’re going to get that “vaxx” into the vast majority of people, no matter what; from jab to needle-less, for those afraid of needles [lots of people]). This is standard, simple Military Tactics 101.
It’s a distinct possibility that Biden Admin. will claim the petrol, food, etc. is needed for fight for “Ukrainian freedom”, in which the vast majority of Americans do not want our troops sent.
How will we be “convinced” this time around? Remember The Lusitania! (& 911)
