After all, this is America!

Normalcy bias stresses the brain causing it to underestimate the possibility of impending disaster and devastating follow up effects. People assume that since a certain disastorus event has never happened in their lifetime it cannot occur. From the slaughter of the Crusades to the genocide in Rwanda we go merrily along the way until finally the bony grip of chaos wraps firmly around our necks. The Jews stayed in Nazi Germany because they were German citizens, Germany had been one of the more progressive nations in Europe regarding its citizens rights, the Jews had been in Germany for centuries, was there any way for the Jews to comprehend the horrors to be visited upon them? After all, this was Germany! Post-Katrina showed clearly New Orleans unwavering trust in the Federal Government and the Army Corps of Engineers as sorely misplaced. Now we see the Federal Reserve buying up United States debt, our debt. Endless debt. Our collective normalcy bias sets the stage for America’s imminent catastrophic failure. Failure to comprehend the impending doom awaiting us as Almighty paper dollar circles the drain of total fiscal insolvency. Oh, that can’t happen here, the home of the Almighty dollar! Consider this. Since the collapse the Bardi & Peruzzi Bank in 1345, the Panic of 1907, to the radically devalued British paper Pound of the mid-70s and Mexico’s currency meltdown in 1995 … historically, no demonetized currency has ever lasted more than 50 years: the American Federal Government demonitized its currency on August 16, 1968. Are you ready for some basic mathematics?  1968 + 50 = 2018. Yes, we are chugging along quite nicely and right on schedule. After all, this is America! Hail Truth!
