American families enjoy their leisure on the coast of Okinawa -the largest island in the Ryukyu Islands chain territory, 1953.
The transfer of the Ryukyu islands chain from the Japanese Empire to an official territory of the United States as a part of a rebuilding plan for the region (especially Okinawa) and a geopolitical need to project a permanent American presence in the China Sea created a wave of military and civilian investments to the pre-war sleepy small islands chain together with American human capital from all forms of life that moved to settle in the area through encouragement from the government and local businesses that received new consumers and the money that flowed like drinking water.
In 1947, one million four hundred thousand inhabitants lived in the chain of islands. That number changed drastically as by 1954 this figure swelled to almost three million if we include both the Americans who settled there, Americans who visited the islands regularly through business and duty, and American tourists who visited Ryukyu that year and returned to the mainland United States at the end of their trip.
Resort villages were created, plans for the restoration of the localities' infrastructure destroyed in the devastating battle of Okinawa were made, American bases and outposts for the various United States troops were established across the various islands, and above all an ambitious plan to build a new grand city called ''Lost Heaven'' at an automobile distance travel from Ishigaki City at the Yaeyama archipelago from the ground up that will be in the hopes of its chief planner - Bugsy Siegel, with housing, shopping centers, resort and luxurious hotels and perhaps one day even gambling zones as well (due to a result of officially defining the islands as a US territory and not a state, the gambling legal situation in Ryukyu was gray and was technically allowed without any form of legal punishment for now until representatives can enact laws on the subject while a counter lobby was created to make gambling legal permanently) with noted interest and capital given by American industrialist J. Paul Getty while exploiting the conversion of a nearby abandoned military airstrip from the war to be the project's civilian airport.
From snow-capped volcanoes to rainforests to lava rock deserts, Ryukyu captured the heart of postwar America right from the start. The push and pull between a growing tourist hub, the ability to experience an ancient and authentic culture and a natural paradise for one's eyes were evident in the territory for all to see.
Cecil R. King, a member of the Federalist Reform Party and a native of California, agreed to be the territory's first governor and was appointed by President Merriam after the Territory of Ryukyu was created by Congress in 1948. King and his family moved to live in Okinawa in a building that received the official designation as the ''Governor's House''. He used his term to create the foundations of a strong American rule in Ryukyu, took care to restore areas that were affected by the battles of World War II, and encouraged continued investments and transfer of funds.

NCT has some of the best produced and musically interesting songs to ever exist.
Concept wise, they are super interesting too. NCT or Neo Culture Technology is a group with 26 members divided into different sub-units: NCT U, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, NCT WISH, WayV. The members all came from different countries, which is why they are super diverse. They are the largest Kpop group so far. They cover so many genres like K-pop, C-pop, J-pop, Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, EDM, Ballad, Jazz, Rock, etc.
Story Time: I started stanning them around early 2020 before the pandemic started. And let me tell you when I first watched Superhuman by NCT 127, I was put on a chokehold and that moment I realized that they're just "different". No one is doing it like them. Not to mention at that time Kick It has also became a very huge hit, and I loved it immediately. But then I listened to the track videos/ album during that era, I was like damn the real gems are in their b-side tracks. it solidified their position as my ult group of all-time.
NCT 127 was the first NCT group I knew then I discovered that they have different units, I listened to Ridin' by NCT DREAM and it grew a lot on me. Then later on Turn Back Time by WayV. Now look at me, I'm super deeply obsessed with like all of them.
And what's really made me stay in this group after years, is that their music is timeless and never boring. But sadly, a lot of people bash their music coughs coughs tasteless... You may not like their song at first listen but you will find it growing on you and sticking in ur brain for years, and you will realize how artistic their songs really are. They always bring something new to the table and they are not afraid to experiment.
Don't get me started with the members, bc you will fall in love with all of them once you get to know about them. They are super hilarious and their personalities are very likeable.
For some recommendations, I recommend to listen to NCT 127's Neo Zone album, Cherry Bomb EP, 2 Baddies/Ay-Yo Repackage album, Loveholic EP, Fact Check album. NCT DREAM's Hot Sauce/Hello Future Repack, Glitch Mode LP, DREAM()SCAPE EP their newest release. For WayV, I recommend their latest album On My Youth, Awaken the World, Take Over the Moon EP.
And ofc the NCT 2020 Resonance Pt.1 and Pt.2 album with all the NCT members. NCT 2018 Empathy, NCT 2021 Universe, and NCT 2023 Golden Age album as well.

Since 1970 the value of the dollar has steadily declined. The lower 80% of Americans have lost income and purchasing power, largely due to the exodus of manufacturing by global corporations. As a result, the wealth gap between the global rich and the rest has widened.
From 2007-2016 the net worth of the richest Americans increased by 20% while the lower 80% decreased by the same percentage, widening the wealth gap considerably. The Federal Reserve sparked this change using quantitative easing to boost the sagging stock market. The rich could invest in this wealth explosion but the rest could not as much.
Increasingly wealthy globalists pressured the government and now the top 1% own over half of U.S. wealth while the top quintile owns about 94% of the wealth. The bottom 80% have their wealth tied up in their homes or vehicles and most suffer from chronic debt.
Not only does the Fed-backed stock market favor the super-rich, but the U.S. tax system does too. The average American pays an effective tax rate of 13% while the very rich pay 18%. But when wealth gains are included, the effective tax rate on the very wealthy averages a mere 4.8%.
While the wealth gap concentrates ownership in a small group of people so it does to industry. More and more large corporations dominate most sectors at the expense of small businesses. As small companies suffer and are saddled with increasing regulations, larger corporations benefit from monopoly power, less competition, and the ability to set prices artificially high.
The wider the wealth gap goes, the more our social and political fabric will deteriorate. According to the Great Gatsby Curve, increased inequality will result in less upward advancement from one generation to the next. This is precisely the conditions that exist when a democracy is overtaken by authoritarian rule.

The Triple “I” Curse

The wealth gap is widening faster than ever thanks to Biden's three-pronged Triple “I” Curse: Inflation, Immigration, and an Inflated stock market.
Inflation: Since 2021, government spending has ballooned. National debt has climbed to $35 trillion, increasing $1 trillion every 100 days, causing incredible inflation and the dollar to lose 23% of its value. The wealthy can withstand inflation to a certain extent, but most households in the lower 80% cannot. Nearly two-thirds of households do not have enough savings to cover three months out.
In a weak attempt to control inflation, the Federal Reserve tried to raise interest rates. This just made purchasing a house prohibitive and forced regional banks to lose value on the Treasury notes they held.
Immigration: The current policy of open borders delivers cheaper labor for globalists and more votes for Democrats. Available jobs are going to foreign-born workers and not American citizens in what is called the 'displacement theory,' resulting in even lower wages and purchasing power for many Americans.
Inflated Stock Market: Despite inflation and higher interest rates, the Fed still prints cheap money to boost the stock market and benefit the rich. But job and GDP growth result from massive government spending as company productivity and consumer demand slide. Not only does government spending spur inflation, but increasing government regulation hampers supply, making fewer goods cost more. This combined effect of inflation and lower demand creates stagflation. So why is the stock market soaring? The Fed's policy of printing cheap dollars. (It might be argued that such market chicanery will eventually lead to a crash, destroying much of the elite’s wealth, but by then the damage will be done.)

The Wealth Gap Lets the Super-Rich Wokize America

Concentration of wealth in both people and industry harms society. For the super-rich it is not as much about money as power. Thus both corporations and the super-wealthy buy influence, especially in education, environmentalism, and politics, all three of which have damaged American society. Education has turned from transmitting knowledge to racist indoctrination. Environmentalism has become a weapon against industrial productivity and prosperity. And politics has become a uniparty of frivolous spenders.
Their contributions have led to the wokization of American culture, society, and institutions. Based largely on racism, wokism is a neo-Marxist narrative that all Western white society is structured to oppress all non-whites. Billionaires, corporations, and their foundations augment government funding of woke activities including Critical Race Theory, transgenderism, Diversity-Equity-Inclusion, drag queens, illegal immigration, climate change, reduction in law enforcement, and more.
Just 10 billionaires have pledged over $135 billion to focus on education, politics, and the environment. Three foundations mold the K-12 education system as they and others spend over $4 billion annually to engineer their Marxist vision of the future. Likewise charitable contributions to higher education exceeded $58 billion in 2023.
The average member of Congress receives 93% of his or her contributions from big, often out-of-state, donors, including dark money from unrevealed sources and PACs. Similarly, billionaire spending to members of Congress increased to over $1 billion in 2022 and will mount much further this year. Add this to the 12,000 Washington lobbyists who spent $4.3 billion in 2023 and understand why the recent $1.2 trillion omnibus bill included millions of dollars of woke earmarks.
Concentration has also hit charities. They used to have many small donors but now rely on a few super-rich who control the media and woke globalist narrative. Over two-fifths of their pledges gets rerouted to foundations they control and not actual charities. Thus billionaires “use philanthropy as a taxpayer-subsidized extension of their private power and influence,” making average U.S. taxpayers subsidize billionaire charity.

What Happens If It All Comes Apart?

The Triple “I” Curse has created an unstable U.S. economy to benefit the super-rich. In just three years, the wealth of the top 1 percent has risen from $30 trillion to nearly $45 trillion.

But what if it were to come crashing down?

Although the stock market is highly inflated, the super-rich must cling to it. Their other main sources of wealth are real estate and private-held businesses. While real-estate values rose slightly, privately held businesses declined, leaving stocks to generate their wealth for the past three years. Biden's latest brainstorm is to levy a 20% tax on unrealized stock market gains, forcing Americans to pay taxes on their annual gains on all assets, including stocks.
It's a distinct possibility that government spending and insurmountable national debt will ultimately collapse the dollar. National debt already affects credibility and purchasing power of the dollar. This emboldens the China-led BRICS countries to pursue a gold-backed currency to replace the dollar as the world's currency. If that happens, the dollar will hyper-inflate, causing a huge dollar crash and devastation to all Americans.
The cumulative effect of expanding the wealth gap through the Biden-globalist Triple “I” Curse is to make the United States a borderless part of a nationless world, which of course countries like China and Russia will never endorse. The curse is a recipe to create a permanent underclass, controlled by an authoritarian cartel of business and government, a key ingredient of the globalist new world order and made possible by an ever-widening wealth gap.
Ironically, by crippling the U.S. economy, the super-rich may capitulate to the China-Russia cabal while arranging their own demise – and taking us all with them.
