Extreme Gaslighting: Here Are 7 Signs That The Mainstream Media Is Flat Out Lying To Us About The Economy
Citizen Watch Report ^ | Michael

How many times have you heard the mainstream media tell you that the economy is doing just great in recent months?  Personally, I have seen the word “booming” used over and over again to describe the economy, and it makes me sick.  The level of gaslighting that we are witnessing right now is off the charts.  Millions of Americans are sleeping in their vehicles, thousands of businesses are failing all over the nation, and most of the country now believes that the American Dream is no longer attainable.  If this is what a “booming” economy feels like, I would hate to see what would happen during a “recession”.

I totally understand why the mainstream media is gaslighting us.  They want us to believe that everything is fine so that we will vote a certain way in November.  They have an agenda, and they are pushing it really hard.

But what they are telling us simply does not match up with reality.

The following are 7 signs that the mainstream media is flat out lying to us about the economy…

#1 Survey after survey has shown that the economy is the number one concern for American voters during this election season.  If the economy was in good shape, we would not be getting results like this…

The economy was still the top issue for 26 percent of voters, per the poll. Threats to democracy and extremism came in second at 22 percent, and immigration was third at 13 percent.

#2 At this point, the economy is in such rough shape that even Dollar General customers seem to be running out of money…

Dollar General shares tumbled Thursday after the discount retailer slashed its sales and profit guidance for the full year, suggesting its lower-income customers are struggling in this economy.

Just watch that homo Don Lemon try to gaslight “man on the street” people telling them they are doing great, economically, even though they aren’t. My business is down 90% since the chomo was installed. But golly, Don Lemon Party says I am doing great. YAY JOY.

My business has sure turned downward. Of course that could be my right wing imagination. Maybe someone can revise up my sales figures from last quarter. Maybe I sold the stuff and just forget to enter it into the ledger??

My nephew is an exec with a financial company that does business all over the world. He told me today that he still had a job, but....10% of their employees just got canned.

He’s got a stay at home wife and 2 kids. He says he has a year’s living expenses in cash, but a year isn’t that long.

Parts of the economy are booming.

The solar scam and laundry business for example.
