Things are complex and simple all at the same time. The simple part is that Sham Fantasy Money is broken, and really since 2008/2009 ... and the USD Standard is in a heap of trouble. Somehow, the Whole Mirage has to be repackaged and re-sold. The complicated part is that in an era of failing credibility, the do-over has to have a serious infusion of credible buy-in. For example, a new high power replacement of dot money will have to have a credible feature, maybe a partial backing by gold. But it will be an advertising marketing trick. It will be call the old thing by a new name, tie a string to it and string it over a commodity like gold, and call it New Money You Can Believe IN with partial backing. And a little like that other catchy marketing slogan from the Obama years ... Change. But rest assured, you won't be able to redeem dots for real money of substance held in you hand. But you will have one great benefit. The financial institutions will be able to terminate your access with the flip of a switch ... and you will feel safe and like it! And it is all good to have an emotional buzz! Right!

Honestly. I think it's the Old Fool'em Strategy, a remake of Babylon. The Fool'em part is making it believable. But scratch the surface and Milei is a socialist. And it is Dial Back Socialism. And the same as here in the United States with the dial-back Pivot against Woke.

The secret to the "Dial Back" is they never dial all the way back to zero. And thus do they incrementally advance even when they appear in retreat and like compound interest, in 30 years they are rich.

Only with the actual historical destruction of the apex institutions and families AND their wealth who are behind this NWO will their plans ever be defeated. Until then, this war will continue. If Milei is not their puppet, then he prolly won't live long. We will see.

Good point!

Zero on the dial in the American context would at the very least have to be dial back to the old American Christian States with theonomic organic constitutions. DJT would be a retograde dial back to FDR Socialism before America quite lost everything. And this is the irony, that DJT is what every Domocrat would have been mid-twentieth century.
