Why America's Middle Class has Reached its Breaking Point
Hyper #inflation, constant printing of our fiat currency, excessive government spending, money leaving the U.S. for overseas wars, government climate change mandates, devaluing of jobs, a weakened dollar -- all Bidenomics-fueled reasons the U.S. #ecnoomy is failing and the #MiddleClass is at its breaking point.Dr. Jerome Corsi breaks down what happened and where we need to go to moving forward to reverse the trend on today's The Truth Central.Also:#Israel to continue flushing out #Hamas from southern and northern #GazaWhy #Biden's EV mandates will cost more than you thinkGet Dr. Corsi's new book, The Assassination of President John F.

You can find me on Substack at JeromeCorsiPhD.substack.com JeromeCorsiPhD.substack.com My book on the JFK assassination is going quite well.
Chris will show the cover.
What the book is establishing is a game-changing book.
It establishes the forensic evidence of Dr. Mantic's 30 years of examining the JFK 3 skull autopsy x-rays that are in the archives and showing that all three of the x-rays, by the way, have been forged.
And they are forged to mask frontal shots, but yet you can see two frontal shots, one to the forehead with a stream of bullets that you can clearly see in the x-rays going back through the top of the head and doesn't exit.
Largest fragments at the back, clearly a frontal shot.
And a shot that hits in the temporal bone that blows out the back of JFK's head.
This book really puts together the shooting and how it happened.
It's the forensic evidence.
And it's undeniable that Jack Kennedy was shot twice from the front, which means Lee Harvey Oswald was not the lone gun assassin.
It's a very, very shocking story, but it's solid.
The book is, I think, 530-some pages long.
And I'm selling this book and other books from my collection of author's copies on the website.
Chris will show you here in a second.
If you go to the black bar at the top of TheTruthCentral.com, the far item, Authors Copies, you're going to see that I'm selling off the Authors Copies sign that I have.
I'm going to send them to you.
The technology here on this page, they're called e-pipes.
And there, Chris is showing you, you go up to the top, black bar, click the author's copies, and here these e-pipes show up.
They look like cell phone applications.
They are, in fact.
And when you look through them, you can see I'm showing you a little video with each of the books I'm selling.
And I'll autograph them there, including the current book and my previous book on JFK, who really killed Kennedy.
I just use these e-pipes, grab the book, click that, you know, get a little checkout with, you know, you can enter your credit card, your information, I'll sign the book and send it to you, and it gives me the opportunity to be in touch with you or you to be in touch with me.
The books are quite good.
I'm selling also the Energy book, the Marxism book, the coup d'etat book I wrote on the coup d'etat against President Trump that's still continuing, the book No Greater Valor, which is about the Battle of Bastogne and whether or not God intervenes.
That's one of my favorite books.
I'm also selling Atomic Iran, Black Gold Stranglehold.
These are good books.
These are some of the classics I've written.
When my author's copies are gone, then these are gone.
So now's an opportunity, if you want to get some of my past books, to do it this way.
I've also signed a contract with Steve Bannon War Room Books.
I'm writing a book called the Anti-Globalist Alliance Manifesto, Ending the War on Humanity, and I've created the Anti-Globalist Alliance LLC, which you'll be hearing more about in the coming months.
Okay, let's get into it.
And by the way, I do have the, with the lights like this, I've got my Gulardi effect here.
And Gulardi was a TV guy in Cleveland when I grew up who always showed horror movies.
And this way, recede back here into the light and shadows, it has a very bizarre effect.
There, you can see it right there.
But I don't mind it these days.
I mean, with all that we're dealing in globalism and all we're dealing with in this dark, world we're having to deal with.
It's occasionally nice to be able to recede into the shadows here and attack it from the shadows, which I want to do, but I'm also going to attack it fighting with the light.
Let's do the first stories, and Chris, I'm going to ask you to comment on this first one, and perhaps there's three or four we really want to cover.
I want to begin with this with a discussion of what's going on in Israel, and Reuters is today reporting that Israel has now Going into the Rafa, the city in the south, and they're cleaning out Hamas.
They're also returning into northern Gaza and going back and doing more cleaning out of Hamas.
This idea of getting rid of Hamas is going to be very difficult.
Unless you really depopulate Gaza, you're not going to get rid of Hamas.
But they're going to, I think Israel's making a determined effort here, and I don't see that, I don't see that they're going to stop.
Even though the Biden administration is withholding some of the bunker buster weapons that Israel wants to destroy these tunnels under Gaza that Hamas has been using to launch attacks against Israel.
This is a, I think a determined effort by Israel to survive.
Israel is facing Hezbollah from Lebanon and Israel has been attacking Hezbollah.
They have, we have the, Hooty rebels in Yemen.
We don't hear much about them, but increasingly they're gaining control of the Red Sea.
I think at some point or other, the Hooty rebels may be able to shut down the Red Sea.
That could be, again, a major disruption of international trade.
And you've got Iran behind all of this, including the Revolutionary Guard that operates in Iraq and Syria and attacks U.S.
bases.
It's largely underreported, but the Middle East is really in a seriously Expanding war.
And we've already had one attack with Iran directly attacking Israel with a missile attack and drone attack and Israel responding.
So far, that's been limited, but that could escalate at any moment.
And with this and what's going on in Ukraine, and now in Ukraine, I see that Putin has decided to run military exercises in which they're going to game the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
So the violence in the world is escalating.
Dangerously now on the table is the idea of nuclear war, and that's a whole new dimension here that has not been seriously considered really since the Cuban Missile Crisis, which Jack Kennedy defused.
My book, by the way, the final analysis comes from Jack Kennedy's speech that he gave at American University in 1963, just before he died, when he said in the final analysis, we all live on this small planet, we all cherish our children, we're all mortal.
Well, what he was saying to Khrushchev, that we need to coexist.
And John Kennedy was reaching out with the nuclear test ban treaty.
He was de-escalating.
He was wanting to make the world safer.
And what we have with these current demons and maniacs in charge is they're very destructive and they're making the world increasingly dangerous.
Not only confused with gender confusion and all the other transgenderism and nonsense that we have going on with sex change operations, which they're calling Gender transforming operations.
We're all transitioning.
Everything's always transitioning with these people, as if we have to get from destruction of the traditional values to a transitioning into this brave new transhuman world.
Well, I don't want any part of it, because they really view most people as useless.
Chris, you want to comment on what we've covered so far?
Well, think about this.
Israel has to flush out Hamas.
They have to go into Rafah.
They have to do what they need to do.
Israel actually put out a ceasefire agreement on the table for Hamas.
And of course, Hamas wants it their way.
This isn't going to happen.
People at home, We understand nobody likes war, but you cannot fight a politically correct war.
George W. Bush tried to do that in Iraq.
He tried to pinpoint where the targets are going to be.
It's just not going to happen.
George Sr.
tried to do that with Operation Desert Storm, but as you know, Saddam Hussein used citizens, people, regular people as human shields.
This is what Hamas is doing.
Hamas is using It's Palestinian population as human shields.
Next thing, do I hear a lot of Palestinians really denounce Hamas?
Palestinian Americans, do I hear them denounce Hamas?
No, I see them protesting against Israel.
Yeah, we've got now going on universities, of course, university students have been taught to hate America.
You know, we're a racist country, blah, blah, blah.
And we've got to have transgenderism, blah, blah, blah.
And we, you know, We don't know what a man is.
We don't know what a woman is.
We don't know what a bathroom is.
We don't know.
Men can breastfeed.
Men can have babies.
These people are absolutely insane.
Okay, so this confusion is intentionally being caused.
That's part of the Neo-Marxism leading to a cultural revolution which we've gone through.
It's political correctness.
And now it ends up in anarchy.
We're headed to the anarchy phase where our cities are a mess.
You know, they're constantly deteriorating, the feces everywhere, homeless everywhere, these democratic cities are going to go bankrupt.
And now I see that the Democratic National Convention, I guess which is going to be in Chicago, isn't that interesting?
They're going to get mugged.
It's 68 in Chicago.
When these protests were going on anti-war we had chaos in the streets and Hubert Humphrey lost the election largely over Mayor Daley's reaction with the police rioting and being shown inside the hall was bedlam.
And this was, you know, that year 1972 I was down in, the next time I was down in Miami for the conventions when George McGovern was nominated and Richard Nixon was nominated for re-election and it was rioting in the streets again so the whole anti-war protest which was leading into the environmental movement and this movement and the women's movement and blah blah blah and so now today they're all going to be
Protesting for Hamas.
Anti-Semites.
Don't understand that these are terrorists.
We have the LBGT out for Hamas, which is insane because Hamas is not particularly fond of men wearing dresses.
And they would probably kill the homosexuals and lynch the transgenders.
Iran's pretty good with that.
They like to lynch people with hydraulic cranes.
They've perfected the art.
So, you know, this is a brutal world that we're going into, and it's being made intentionally brutal in order to destroy traditional values.
Chris, any more comments before we move on to a few other stories?
That's the way they operate.
The idea is to break down each nation's traditions, to not create a pride in one's heritage, but to create what the globalists like to call citizens of the world.
Yeah, well, we're all citizens of the world then, and nobody's citizens of anything, because the globalists don't really need us, and they're going to make that abundantly clear.
Let's go on to a couple more stories.
I'm following this demise of the middle class very closely, and it's happening because you can see that, and finally getting reported more and more, Because what is apparent is that incomes are not keeping up
with the cost of living.
And Americans are increasingly getting squeezed in the middle class.
So, you know, even if you make $130,000 a year, this article is pointing out,
but you don't own your house and you've got credit card debts that are massive,
and your income is not keeping up with your cost of living.
Well, you know, you'd be better off to have $30,000 and own something and have your expenses in order.
But the problem is we've seen that the spending we've been doing, the pouring out of these billions and billions of dollars, let's have a lockdown and we'll just send everybody money.
Well, fine.
Except that the cost of living over the past three years has to be recognized that the American working class has been squeezed for decades by the declining value in the purchasing power of the dollar and the purchasing power of wages since 1975.
And this traces back to Richard Nixon taking us off the gold standard in 1971.
Okay, the hyper-globalization and the hyper-financialization has taken trillions of dollars from wage earners and it's transferred them now to the owners of capital.
That's why we're getting an oligarchy created in the world, because workers are getting increasingly poorer.
They're already beginning to phase out workers.
Again, the whole idea that we can move these jobs to slaves in China, And yet maintain an economy when we no longer manufacture anything.
Well, who's going to buy the goods if people aren't earning decent livings?
Well, the point is, they don't care.
Because the point was to get slave labor and then to phase slave labor out with machines.
So now they're identifying the kinds of jobs that are going to be useless.
Well, cashiers, you don't need cashiers, you can have a machine do it.
You know, you don't need to have people working in a fast food restaurant.
You can have the machines produce the hamburgers and serve them.
They can do that just fine, even without anybody there supervising them, because they're all programmed.
This is the beginning of the end with escalating real estate prices.
The ownership society is going away.
People are not going to be able to buy single family homes.
And you're going to find that this Global crisis is expanding not only here but also in Western Europe, and it's intentional.
It's not accidental.
The destruction of the dollar is going on.
With the idea that the dollar is going to crash and they'll replace it with the central bank digital currencies.
Right now, gold is at $2,344 an ounce.
It stayed consistently over $2,300.
Chris, show the Swiss America book that you can get free.
I've written this book with Dean Heskin.
It's called, How the Coming Global Crash Will Create an Historic Gold Rush.
And it's true.
This book is predictive.
You can get a copy of it by calling 1-800-519-6268.
That's 1-800-519-6268.
How the coming global crash can create an historic gold rush.
That's 1-800-519-6268.
How the coming global crash can create an historic gold rush.
The book is free.
It shows you how the brick nations are going to form their own currency, how Russia has
benefited from the sanctions, how Western Europe is dying with high energy prices, how
the United States is languishing with a stagflation, which is not being accurately reported.
You know, Janet Yellen saying a priority, a highest priority is inflation.
Yeah, well, Janet, you haven't done anything about it.
You're still spending money like this modern monetary theory, just printing money.
Well, there's a lot of things on this website, on The True Central, about our sponsors.
Swiss America is prominent here.
We've got many offers.
You can get this free report on the secret government war on cash.
I just revised that.
It's been a really important book for years.
It's basically a little brochure or pamphlet.
But it's very well worth reading.
It's free.
Chris will show you on the website, under our sponsors, Swiss America, and you can see them on the sidebars.
There's a lot of information here on Swiss America.
Call them to learn this information.
Chris is showing you on the side where the Swiss America information is.
You can see here, again, we're using these e-pipes more extensively.
There's one for my books.
You've got, on the right-hand side, there's Swiss America and the special Walking Liberty half-dollar offer.
My Vital C, which is there, and sponsors.
These are good sponsors.
If you like the show, please use our sponsors.
We'll be doing much more with these in the future.
Let's continue with the news reporting.
I want to cover another story with this insane... Oh, by the way, the Pentagon has now failed another audit.
It can't account for 63% of its nearly $4 trillion in assets.
The DoD regularly buys parts and equipment it doesn't need because it can't keep track of the parts and equipment it already owns.
Now, if that isn't insane, I don't know what is.
But just keep giving it more money.
Don't worry about it.
We'll spend our way out of this problem.
Right.
That's always not the solution.
Okay, if we continue, there's an interesting story here on the truckers.
And, uh, more insanity from the global warming crowd.
So that this whole transitioning the fleet from electric to electric from, you know, the fleet of trucks, the semi trailers, the trucks that are going around commercially carrying things to market.
Well, now these geniuses want to, uh, they want to make sure that we transition them so that they are all electric.
Isn't that a brilliant idea?
All electric.
Okay, what's it going to cost?
That's the problem.
And by the way, this transitioning word, this is fundamental to this woke transitioning to transgender.
It's going to go woke to transgender.
Then it's going to go transgender and electric and vaccine and all the rest of the things they can think of to do.
From there, it's going to go right into transhuman.
By the time I transition to transhuman, the next transition will be, we don't need these stinking normal people.
Okay, so transitioning the conventional fleet to EV is going to cost a lot of money.
First of all, it's about a 114% increase in costs To take the fleet trucks to electric trucks.
And that's going to cost an enormous amount of money.
It's really being registered in the trillions of dollars to do all of this transitioning.
And how are you going to take the existing commercial trucks and just get rid of them on the internal combustion engine running on diesel?
There are 14.6 million Class 3 to Class 8 commercial vehicles in operation in the United States, out of which only 18,000 EVs have been deployed.
So therefore, by the way, there's also not enough charging stations.
There's nowhere near enough charging stations.
There's 700,000 charges will be required to accommodate the 1 million class 4, 6, and 8 electric trucks expected to be deployed by 2030.
This alone will consume 140,000 megawatts of electricity per day, which is the equivalent to daily electric needs of roughly 5 million homes.
Well, this is just insanity.
I mean, the technology is not ready for this.
And what the Environmental Protection Agency is saying, well, I'm going to offer $1 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act to cities and states to replace class 6 and class 7 heavy duty vehicles, school buses, trash trucks, delivery trucks.
With zero-emission vehicles.
Well, the idea these are zero-emissions is ridiculous because it takes all kinds of hydrocarbon fuels to produce the batteries, to mine the rare earth minerals, to manufacture these things.
They're much heavier than electric vehicles.
They're going to be a much heavier strain on the highways.
And without the low-cost fuel, Of diesel, which is still way too expensive compared to what it is to make diesel, compared to refining gasoline.
The costs in terms of the production chain, the supply chain, are going to go skyrocketing.
Which, again, is more inflation.
Well, the EPA is out of control, and it's a bunch of ideologically brainwashed, anti-American, green... I don't know why they call this green.
There's nothing green about carbon dioxide.
There's nothing green about electricity.
Okay, but it's all green, because green is a nice ideologically sounding word.
It's a nice language perversion, language invention, to make this all sound like it's healthy.
Green is trees.
Well, green is trees because they absorb carbon dioxide.
This whole thing is to eliminate carbon dioxide, so this movement shouldn't be called green, it should be called kill trees.
So, if the United States has to go through this so-called transition, it's going to hurt the middle class even further, and they know it.
These demons know it.
It's intentional.
Okay, I posted another story here today about the Polish farmers.
Polish farmers are marching against this green poison EU climate change rules.
And what they're saying is, down with the Green New Deal, down with the European Union.
Well, there's a huge number of protesters who've come into Warsaw, there's pictures of them in Warsaw today, thousands of protesters, and what they're protesting was the environmental regulations that farmers say are driving them out of business.
The farmers were joined by representatives of other branches of Solidarity, which is the trade union movement that brought down communism in China, in Poland, I'm sorry, Poland.
And Solidarity organizes protests, much as the miners and workers from the automotive sector and farmers in Poland and elsewhere in the EU bloc have been protesting in recent months, with the farmers bringing their tractors into Berlin and into Paris.
So the sea of red and white Polish flags and Solidarity banners were evident with these protesters saying, down with the Green New Deal, down with the European Union, calling it Green Poison.
The cost of eliminating farms and going to agribusinesses is another part of the war on food, which is part of the war on humanity that these transhumanists are imposing upon us.
And we say, well, who are the transhumanists?
Well, again, Glenn Beck has a very good article on this today.
It's being picked up in a lot of the different sites where Glenn Beck is pointing out that the EU transgenders are really a very small percentage of the population.
But yet, a lot of money has been put into this transgender idea because it is so disruptive.
It does, in fact, generate a huge amount of confusion and a huge amount of disarray among the young people in the country who are now saying, wait a minute, I've got a gender transition.
This whole thing of transitioning is just completely out of control.
But what Glenn Beck is saying, and the billionaires behind this, if anyone wondered how the T made it into the LGBTQ, Which is one of the original formulations of this.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer.
LGBT became, instead of queer, transgender.
Only 0.5% of the U.S.
population is transgender.
But for 2016, there was an article in The Atlantic that, you know, no media today would feel even remotely safe to ask, which is the trans law be disproportionately strong.
So few of them get such a big issue.
LGBT funders, which is a group tracking funding for the trans issues, And one of the biggest funders, surprise surprise, is George Soros, who backs the Open Society Foundation and the Tides Foundation.
What Soros is about is destroying traditional values, breaking capitalism, attacking the United States, etc.
So, for its disproportionately small number of people who are truly transgenders, Now we're getting increasing numbers of our youth in schools reporting that they're transgender because we're marketing this idea.
If you market the idea, you're going to get people who are saying in their young years, well, yes, I may be part of this.
I mean, we shouldn't be raising this issue to ten-year-olds or having, you know, transgender story hour, you know, for even younger kids.
It's the desensitization and the being made aware of sex at an early age that, of course, is part of the entire movement to destroy traditional values.
But again, kids who are confused about sex from the time they're preschoolers, you know, two mommies, this child has two mommies, this child has two daddies as their parents.
You know, again, all this confusion, kids who don't even understand, they haven't reached the age of puberty yet, is intentional to desensitize these kids.
And instead of it being pedophilia, we're going to have it be, you know, something attracted, you know, younger attracted, or adolescents attracted, or preschool attracted.
These demons will get babies to rape.
I mean, they can't be young enough for them.
And this is insanity.
This is the demonic transformation of the state.
When I wrote the Bad Samaritans book, which is one of the books I'm selling, my author's copies, I said LGBT would go from transgenderism to pedophilia, that's clearly next, then to bestiality, Then to cannibalism, because there's a ritual here of killing babies, roasting the babies, eating the babies.
I mean, it's this satanic stuff.
And then sex with the dead, necrophilia, because it is a perversion of the sexual impulse for procreation to make it into death, to make it into Sex change operations where these children will never be able to procreate, they'll never be able to have an orgasm, their sex organs are destroyed, and these demons are doing that intentionally because they hate life.
I've quoted from Archbishop Bigano repeatedly, and he has written, by the way, an introduction to my JFK book which we are going to get out there again very publicly on a new edition of the book which will be forthcoming.
What I'm doing is summarizing all this and pointing out very clearly that we are in an era of insanity but it's intentional insanity.
We're self-destructing because this mind virus of the woke is going to transform into the mind virus of transgenderism and it's going to be particularly dangerous To our youth and our children, we're going to be raised in a generation that absolutely abhors America and embraces Hamas.
Well, Satan's got to be pretty happy because he's running wild right now, and this will not last.
God will intervene, and God will have a judgment of God on Earth, which will be in the progress of, let's hope, not a nuclear war.
But these are clearly end-day times.
I see no way except to accept that these are end-day times.
And we're living through the end-day prophecies, which, in the end, God will win, that God has already won, God is sovereign, God writes the rules, and God did not create human beings or this experience to lose to Satan.
Satan loses.
Chris, any final comments before we wrap up for today?
You're going to see a lot of the, I'm going to go back to the Polish farmers.
You're going to see a lot of this continuing.
There were the convoys over the last couple of years.
People in the, at least the farmers, are standing up to the Green New Deal and all the other garbage coming out of the EU.
For some reason, I know we saw some of it here.
We saw that big truckers convoy here.
I'd like to see more of that here.
The problem is, I suppose, a lot of farmers are working.
They're working hard.
They're working hard putting food on the tables of a generation A couple of generations, among whom many of them think that food comes from the store.
Right.
Yes, the store.
This is their store.
Yeah, the store.
We'll go to the store and get, go to the grocery store, go to the supermarket.
Yeah, that's where the food comes from.
That's where the food comes from.
Appears there.
Okay, in the end, God always wins.
Let's wrap up today.
Today is, it's Tuesday, it's May 14, 2024.
We're doing many more interviews.
We're going to be interviewing more doctors, Going to be interviewing more people who are fighting this evil.
We're going to be developing and promoting the anti-globalist alliance here.
And I think I've never been more engaged in fighting.
I thought for a good while I was going to retire my My wife at that time, after the Mueller investigation, wanted to put me in prison, and I resisted their plea deal, and they did not indict me.
That's probably too much politics for her, and after 32 years, she's decided to have an affair and divorce me, so here I am.
I went back to work.
God took her out of my life to go back to politics.
I've never been writing as actively or working as hard as I have been now, and we'll be bringing forth some new telemedicine programs here very shortly.
In the end, God wins.
God always wins.
God's sovereign.
The end game has already been written.
God won.
Satan loses.
It's already lost.
But it's going to be chaos for a while.
And the prospect of a nuclear war is real.
We'll have a judgment of God, and it's going to be difficult.
But if we all join in the gospel remedy for this, which is 2 Chronicles 7.14, we get on our knees and repent, ask God to forgive us for taking God out of the schools, out of our homes, out of our lives, out of our marriages.
For having it be that we are killing so many millions of babies after Roe v. Wade.
These are God's creations.
This is God's giving life.
Only God can give life.
Satan hates life.
Satan wants to chop up life in the womb before it can even be born.
This whole transgenderism is a war on women.
Satan hates women because all human beings on the face of the earth are born of the womb of a woman.
So, Satan hates women.
They are life-bearers.
And this insanity will not last long, but it will be a massive, massive spiritual war.
We are in the middle of that massive spiritual war.
