Up until just a few weeks ago, you were a slave owner.
You owned Chinese slaves. A lot of them.
If you are a Millennial or younger, you have owned, or were loaned by the CCP, a boat load of Chinese slaves for all of your life. These slaves produced everything you have used, most of what you wear, or own, and much of what you eat or consume.
You have lived a life of indolence and luxury unknown to kings of past ages.
Admit it. It’s true.
The wave of Globalism that swept over the planet beginning in the 1970s, gave nearly all people some number of Chinese slaves.
Wielding their populace as a soft weapon, the CCP has consumed most of the manufacturing capacity on the planet as it traded cheap Chinese labor for knowledge and influence and wealth.
Recently the CCP has decided that Globalism is no longer in its strategic interest, and is refocusing its energies inward, and hardening its borders. This is a pattern oft repeated through history by Chinese Empires.
This means you will not have the loan of the Chinese slaves any longer. This means no more cheap goods cheaply carried across the oceans for your amusement. This means NO GOODS in many categories as YOU don’t know how to MAKE THEM.
You WERE a slave owner. Now you will consider your future to be miserable as you work through all the suffering, pain and problems of becoming self sufficient once again. Learning to make things, once again. Learning to do for yourself, perhaps for the first time.
Many of the Boomers will see this as a good thing, the struggle, which makes you tougher, harder, more resilient, better, and then the achievement.
Younger generations will not likely take this view for a very long time.
Thus one learns the hard way WHY the admonition in the Codex Oera Linda to “Never suffer an unfree person in your presence. Do not treat (deal/work with) slavers as you will become enslaved.”
You WERE a slave owner, and enslaved by it.
Welcome now to Freedom.
Do something with it.
Clif you are sooo right. I am part of the baby boomers. My grandfather made room additions with scrap wood from the boxes that copper and brass came in as he worked at Revere Copper and Brass. Most wouldn't recognize this name but they made quality pots and pans......which I still have. We would pull nails from these shipping boxes and save the wooden panels and even saves some of the nails. Much of the wood we used to put on a 24 by 24 foot addition on a house came from those " scrapes" my dad and grandfather built the addition as well.We didn't have a contractor or any other kind of specialist. In those days you learned the aspects of building, gardening, and fixing your own cars. We didn't have cell phones, tablets, computers, Xbox or play station to sit behind and grow fat and unhealthy. We went outside to play when my dad whistled or flicked the front porch light on and off you knew you better get your butt home. It was time to go inside. A dishwasher was all five of us kids. My grandmother was a great seamstress. She taught me how to sew. My grandfather had a hammer in my hand when I was 7. I have changed my own oil in my car and to this day like making and doing things on my own. Everything you buy from China is the most inferior products I have ever seen. We live in a throw away society. Maybe now we will FIX things as opposed to toss away and buy new. Our land fills are full of crap which could be fixed and recycled. Time these youngsters know what it was like to do and build things themselves. Maybe if more people fabricated and fixed things a sense of appreciation and loyalty will grow within this country.
Free at last . . . Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to share your wisdom, especially with all you've got going on in the material world. You are loved and appreciated.
