Video: Trump Vows to Rehire Service Members Fired for Refusing COVID Jab WITH BACKPAY
US service members who were unjustly discharged for refusing a mandatory Covid-19 vaccine would be rehired under another Donald Trump presidency, the former president said Wednesday.
Speaking to a crowd in Asheboro, North Carolina, Trump said he condemned “vaccine mandates” and would fully compensate wrongfully terminated soldiers.
“We didn’t want a mandate,” Trump said, adding, “You can’t, you just can’t do that.”
He continued: “I will rehire every patriot who was fired from the military with an apology and with back pay. They will get their back pay and an apology from our government.”

The Political Matrix Sustains the Illusion of Freedom
“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” — Neil Postman
What you smell is the stench of a dying republic.
Our dying republic.
We are trapped in a political matrix intended to sustain the illusion that we are citizens of a constitutional republic.
In reality, we are caught somewhere between a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) and a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American citizens).
For years now, the government has been playing a cat-and-mouse game with the American people, letting us enjoy just enough freedom to think we are free but not enough to actually allow us to live as a free people.
In other words, we’re allowed to bask in the illusion of freedom while we’re being stripped of the very rights intended to ensure that we can hold the government accountable to abiding by the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution.
We’re in trouble, folks.
This is no longer America, land of the free, where the government is of the people, by the people and for the people.
Rather, this is Amerika, where fascism, totalitarianism and militarism go hand in hand.
Freedom no longer means what it once did.
This holds true whether you’re talking about the right to criticize the government in word or deed, the right to be free from government surveillance, the right to not have your person or your property subjected to warrantless searches by government agents, the right to due process, the right to be safe from militarized police invading your home, the right to be innocent until proven guilty and every other right that once reinforced the founders’ commitment to the American experiment in freedom.
Not only do we no longer have dominion over our bodies, our families, our property and our lives, but the government continues to chip away at what few rights we still have to speak freely and think for ourselves.
My friends, we’re being played for fools.
On paper, we may be technically free.
In reality, however, we are only as free as a government official may allow.
We only think we live in a constitutional republic, governed by just laws created for our benefit.
Truth be told, we live in a dictatorship disguised as a democracy where all that we own, all that we earn, all that we say and do—our very lives—depends on the benevolence of government agents and corporate shareholders for whom profit and power will always trump principle. And now the government is litigating and legislating its way into a new framework where the dictates of petty bureaucrats carry greater weight than the inalienable rights of the citizenry.
With every court ruling that allows the government to operate above the rule of law, every piece of legislation that limits our freedoms, and every act of government wrongdoing that goes unpunished, we’re slowly being conditioned to a society in which we have little real control over our lives.
As Rod Serling, creator of the Twilight Zone and an insightful commentator on human nature, once observed, “We’re developing a new citizenry. One that will be very selective about cereals and automobiles, but won’t be able to think.”
Indeed, not only are we developing a new citizenry incapable of thinking for themselves, but we’re also instilling in them a complete and utter reliance on the government and its corporate partners to do everything for them—tell them what to eat, what to wear, how to think, what to believe, how long to sleep, who to vote for, whom to associate with, and on and on.
In this way, we have created a welfare state, a nanny state, a police state, a surveillance state, an electronic concentration camp—call it what you will, the meaning is the same: in our quest for less personal responsibility, a greater sense of security, and no burdensome obligations to each other or to future generations, we have created a society in which we have no true freedom.
Government surveillance, police abuse, SWAT team raids, economic instability, asset forfeiture schemes, pork barrel legislation, militarized police, drones, endless wars, private prisons, involuntary detentions, biometrics databases, free speech zones, etc.: these are mile markers on the road to a fascist state where citizens are treated like cattle, to be branded and eventually led to the slaughterhouse.
Freedom, or what’s left of it, is being threatened from every direction.
The threats are of many kinds: political, cultural, educational, media, and psychological. However, as history shows us, freedom is not, on the whole, wrested from a citizenry. It is all too often given over voluntarily and for such a cheap price: safety, security, bread, and circuses.
This is part and parcel of the propaganda churned out by the government machine.
That said, what we face today—mind manipulation and systemic violence—is not new. What is different are the techniques used and the large-scale control of mass humanity, coercive police tactics and pervasive surveillance.
We are overdue for a systemic check on the government’s overreaches and power grabs.
By “government,” I’m not referring to the highly partisan, two-party bureaucracy of the Republicans and Democrats. Rather, I’m referring to “government” with a capital “G,” the entrenched Deep State that is unaffected by elections, unaltered by populist movements, and has set itself beyond the reach of the law.
For years now, we have suffered the injustices, cruelties, corruption and abuse of an entrenched government bureaucracy that has no regard for the Constitution or the rights of the citizenry.
We have lingered too long in this strange twilight zone where ego trumps justice, propaganda perverts truth, and imperial presidents—empowered to indulge their authoritarian tendencies by legalistic courts, corrupt legislatures and a disinterested, distracted populace—rule by fiat rather than by the rule of law.
Where we find ourselves now is in the unenviable position of needing to rein in all three branches of government—the Executive, the Judicial, and the Legislative—that have exceeded their authority and grown drunk on power.
We are the unwitting victims of a system so corrupt that those who stand up for the rule of law and aspire to transparency in government are in the minority. This corruption is so vast it spans all branches of government.
The predators of the police state are wreaking havoc on our freedoms, our communities, and our lives. The government doesn’t listen to the citizenry, it refuses to abide by the Constitution, which is our rule of law, and it treats the citizenry as a source of funding and little else.
The American kleptocracy has sucked the American people down a rabbit hole into a parallel universe in which the Constitution is meaningless, the government is all-powerful, and the citizenry is powerless to defend itself against government agents who steal, spy, lie, plunder, kill, abuse and generally inflict mayhem and sow madness on everyone and everything in their sphere.
This dissolution of that sacred covenant between the citizenry and the government—establishing “we the people” as the masters and the government as the servant—didn’t happen overnight. It didn’t happen because of one particular incident or one particular president. It is a process, one that began long ago and continues in the present day, aided and abetted by politicians who have mastered the polarizing art of how to “divide and conquer.”
Unfortunately, there is no magic spell to transport us back to a place and time where “we the people” weren’t merely fodder for a corporate gristmill, operated by government hired hands, whose priorities are money and power.
Our freedoms have become casualties in an all-out war on the American people.
Through every fault of our own—our apathy, our ignorance, our intolerance, our disinclination to do the hard work of holding government leaders accountable to the rule of law, our inclination to let politics trump longstanding constitutional principles—we have been reduced to this sorry state in which we are little more than shackled inmates in a prison operated for the profit of a corporate elite.
If we continue down this road, there can be no surprise about what awaits us at the end.
For there to be any hope of real change, we must change how we think about ourselves, our fellow human beings, freedom, society, and the government.
The following principles may help any budding freedom fighters in the struggle to liberate themselves and our society.
First, we must come to grips with the reality that the present system does not foster freedom. The government’s primary purpose is maintaining power and control. It’s an oligarchy composed of corporate giants wedded to government officials who benefit from the relationship. In other words, it is motivated by greed and exists to perpetuate itself.
Second, voting is no guarantee of liberty. Voting is a way to keep the citizenry pacified. That’s why the government places so much emphasis on the reassurance ritual of voting. It provides the illusion of participation while maintaining the status quo. As Jordan Michael Smith, writing for the Boston Globe, concludes about the American government, “There’s the one we elect, and then there’s the one behind it, steering huge swaths of policy almost unchecked. Elected officials end up serving as mere cover for the real decisions made by the bureaucracy.”
Third, question everything. Don’t assume anything the government does is for the good of the citizenry. As James Madison warned, “All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.” Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Fourth, there is little hope for any true resistance if you are mindlessly connected to the electronic concentration camp. Remember, what you’re being electronically fed by those in power is meant to pacify, distract, and control you.
Fifth, be wise and realize that there is power in numbers. Networks, coalitions, and movements can accomplish much—especially if their objectives are focused, practical and nonviolent—and they are very much feared by government authorities.
Sixth, as always, change must start with “we the people.” I’ve always advised people to think nationally, but act locally. Yet it can be hard to make a difference locally when the local government is as deaf, dumb and blind to the needs of its constituents as the national government.
Seventh, local towns, cities and states can nullify or say “no” to federal laws that violate the rights and freedoms of the citizenry. When and if you see such federal laws passed, gather your coalition of citizens and demand that your local town council nullify such laws. If enough towns and cities across the country would speak truth to power in this way, we might see some positive movement from the federal governmental machine.
Clearly, it’s time to clean house at all levels of government.
We have been saddled with the wreckage of a government at all levels that no longer represents the citizenry, serves the citizenry, or is accountable to the citizenry.
“We the people” are not the masters anymore.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re talking about the federal government, state governments, or local governing bodies: at all ends of the spectrum and every point in between, a shift has taken place.
“We the people” are not being seen, heard or valued.
We no longer count for much of anything beyond an occasional electoral vote and as a source of income for the government’s ever-burgeoning financial needs.
Everything happening at the national level is playing out at the local level, as well: the violence, the militarization, the intolerance, the lopsided governance, and an uneasy awareness that the citizenry have no say in how their communities are being governed.
So, what’s the answer?
For starters, stop tolerating corruption, graft, intolerance, greed, incompetence, ineptitude, militarism, lawlessness, ignorance, brutality, deceit, collusion, corpulence, bureaucracy, immorality, depravity, censorship, cruelty, violence, mediocrity, and tyranny. These are the hallmarks of an institution that is rotten through and through.
Stop holding your nose in order to block out the stench of a rotting institution.
Stop letting the government and its agents treat you like a servant or a slave.
You’ve got rights. We’ve all got rights. This is our country. This is our government. No one can take it away from us unless we make it easy for them.
You’ve got a better chance of making your displeasure seen and felt and heard within your own community. But it will take perseverance and unity and a commitment to finding common ground with your fellow citizens.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, we’re making it way too easy for the police state to take over.
So, stop being an accessory to the murder of the American republic.

Do We Need 3% Inflation?
“As long as it is kept within certain limits, inflation is an excellent psychological support of an economic policy which lives on the consumption of capital.” (Ludwig von Mises, Socialism, pp. 448-9)
What causes economic growth? Is it a reduction in tariffs? Is it a cut in tax rates? Is it cutting red tape and bureaucracy? While each might stimulate or encourage economic growth, none of these choices causes growth. Economic growth is the result of an entrepreneur employing a new method that reduces the cost of production. Costs can be reduced in several ways. Newly discovered resources will reduce costs. A new technique that saves time, labor, or resources also reduces costs. And, often overlooked, are the cost reductions, which come from resource allocation according to the law of comparative advantage.
To clarify, suppose that there is an entrepreneur who can make 1,000 units of cloth per day. If this entrepreneur spends $5,000 per day in wages and on maintenance of the capital equipment, then his average cost of production is $5 per unit of cloth. Further suppose that the market price for each unit is $6, leaving the entrepreneur a rate of return of 20% (setting aside other costs and taxes). Now suppose that an improvement in the capital equipment is developed. (The improvement could just as easily have been locating a new source of cotton, an increase in the workers’ skill sets, or an adjustment of production to account for the law of comparative advantage. The important point is that the cost of production falls.) As the cost of production falls, the entrepreneur has a decision to make. He could try to simply pocket the additional profit, but if he does, he is missing out on a much larger gain. If, instead, he lowers his asking price, he will attract customers away from his competitors. His sales will increase, and his revenues will also grow. (When “stealing” customers from other competitors, the demand is “elastic.” Therefore, as the price is lowered, the company’s revenues will increase.)
The business thrives and all the traditional stakeholders win. The workers have become more productive, and as a result, their real wages will rise. Customers can buy more cloth at lower prices. The investors and suppliers are also made better off as the business prospers. Over time, the competitors will have to adopt similar (or better) improvements or face bankruptcy. Society is made better due to the entrepreneur’s reduction in cost.
Economic growth is not homogeneous across the economy. Growth is “lumpy,” because it depends on the amount of cost reductions and in which industries they occur. As a result, the prices of some goods will fall dramatically, while other prices will fall just a little, and a few might increase. The overall aggregate will show price deflation, which is another way of saying that the purchasing power of economic actors will rise. This outcome means that more people have more to spend. They can buy more goods and services, or they can save the new surplus. As prices adjust at the microeconomic level, market disequilibria quickly disappear. As a whole, when the economy grows, we should see a general price deflation.
This conclusion is important because it tells us that there is no economic reason to expand the money supply. Any amount will do. While money is subject to the same rules of supply and demand, like all other economic goods, money is different in one critical aspect. When it is used, it is never used up. In contrast, when I use (consume) an apple, it no longer exists. It gets used up. When I drive my car, it, too, gets used up, albeit at a much slower rate. However, when money is used, it does not get used up. The dollar is precisely the same before and after its use. While the form of money may suffer from some wear and tear, the nominal value of the money unit does not suffer from this degradation. In other words, the spending power of a worn dollar, four new quarters, and a digital dollar in my checking account are exactly equivalent to each other.
Why do some argue that there is a need to increase the money supply? While there is no economic reason to increase the money supply, there is a significant political reason. One could just as easily ask why a criminal counterfeits money. The answer is obvious. He wants to increase his purchasing power at little cost. The same logic is true with the ancient quest of alchemy to turn lead into gold. Regardless of who can create new money, whether it is a criminal counterfeiter, a mystical wizard, or the central bank, the same economic principle applies: those who get the new money first win, and those who get it last, lose. This principle is called the Cantillon Effect, which was first described in the early 1720s. The Cantillon Effect demonstrates that when the new money is first spent, it is exchanged at today’s prices. The new buyer redirects goods and services toward himself by bidding the economic goods away from alternative uses. The bidding for goods and services also raises the prices in those markets.
In this second stage, other people now have the new money. They also spend it, bidding the goods and services away from alternate uses. Again, these actions place upward pressure on prices. Not all prices are affected to the same degree. (It is rare, but some prices might even fall.) Hayek (1969) asks us to imagine honey being poured onto a plate, accumulating in a mound and then slowly spreading outward. However, as the new money spreads throughout the economy, it does not do so uniformly or at the same rate. The analysis must use a step-by-step process because a macroeconomic aggregate analysis will miss the impact of these microeconomic effects. If the new money was injected into a different economic sector or even at a different time, the outcomes would be different. The important point is that some people face higher prices, but do not yet have access to the new money. As a result, their real wealth falls. Thus, the Cantillon Effect shows how those who get the new money first are the winners. And it also shows how those who get the new money last lose. Wealth is transferred from those who get the money last to those who get the money first.
In our economy, who is the first to use new money? Today, our money is not backed by anything. It is created from nothing. Fiat money literally means “money that is declared,” that it is spoken into existence. While we do not need magical incantations to turn lead into gold, we can create unlimited amounts of new money through computer keystrokes at the central bank and the banking system. The central bank of the US, the Federal Reserve System, caters to the federal government’s fiscal policy and the financial and banking system. These institutions receive the new money first. They gain at the expense of everyone else. Each new dollar diminishes the purchasing power of all other dollars. Everyone else’s wealth dissolves. Yes, indeed, there is a reason to expand the money supply. And there is a reason to convince the public that an inflation rate of 3% is better than 2%. Unfortunately, the reason is not a good one, unless, of course, you are a part of the small group that gets the new money first.
The Cantillon Effect demonstrates the short-term impact of monetary expansion. If, as I detail in my forthcoming book, monetary expansion persists, it leads to a business cycle. The long-run consequence of expansionist monetary policies is a reduction in savings, capital consumption, a lower future standard of living, and possibly the breakdown of the currency itself.
Writes Mises:
Inflation is a policy. And a policy can be changed. Therefore, there is no reason to give in to inflation. If one regards inflation as an evil, then one has to stop inflating. One has to balance the budget of the government. Of course, public opinion must support this; the intellectuals must help the people to understand. Given the support of public opinion, it is certainly possible for the people’s elected representatives to abandon the policy of inflation.

BOOM: Trump Says DAY ONE He’ll Demand Resignations of ALL Senior Officials Involved in Afghanistan Debacle
Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he intended to hold accountable incompetent senior level officials who facilitated the botched military withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Speaking behind bulletproof glass at an outdoor MAGA rally in Asheboro, North Carolina, Trump said “voters will hold Kamala and Joe accountable,” before adding he intends to rectify the “Afghanistan disaster” by cleaning house.
TRUMP: “When I take office, I will ask for the resignations of every single senior official who touched the Afghanistan disaster. I want them on my desk at noon on Inauguration Day.”

“I will ask for the resignations of every single senior military official who touched the Afghanistan disaster,” Trump said. “I want their resignations immediately. And I want them on the desk in the Oval Office – the Resolute Desk – I want them all at 12 o’clock, Inauguration Day, everybody involved with that disaster.
He continued: “When you have a disaster, so stupid as that, that causes such a problem. You don’t know what that’s done to the reputation of our country, the Afghanistan disaster.”
“This house cleaning will be a signal to the entire world and the American military and everybody else. They want people to be held accountable for failure and incompetence. And it’s just not acceptable that something like that could happen.”
The bungled military withdrawal, during which 13 US service members lost their lives, occurred during Biden’s first year in office, setting the tone for the chaos that would define his presidency.
