Presto! 9.4% Unemployment! How The Government Lies.
By Silver Shield, on January 8th, 2011

Hooray…Happy days are here again!

That is exactly what the elite would have us believe with the 9.4% unemployment number in this huge CONfidence game otherwise known as the USEconomy.

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act” -George Orwell

We were having dinner at my in-law’s house and I had overheard the TV playing in the back ground. At one point, I thought I had heard the squealing of teenagers who were fawning over Justin Bieber. Instead, it turned out that it was someone on the news reporting the new, much lower 9.4% unemployment rate. I could hear the panting of excitement spoken by the breathless reporters who were interviewing very serious economists about this new 9.4% rate. The news aired their personal interest piece about a girl who was just hired at an internet company. She commented with the utmost confidence that the economy was getting better!! You have all heard that saying, “it is a recession when your neighbor loses a job, but when you lose a job it is a depression.” Well, according to her, we are out of her depression.

But alas, this is all a dream and the media is using their very best, tried and true propaganda to keep the people from getting too upset with reality. Let me just state that the real rate of unemployment is much, much more than the 9.4% and if the government really reported what was really going on, there would be revolution in the morning. Allow me to destroy this fictional 9.4% number and the billion dollar propaganda machine that provides cover for the trillion dollar banking and government schemes. I will accomplish this magical feat with writing a blog post in my pajamas. That is real magic!

It's been skewed before and it's now being skewed again to hide the real estimate.

Hmm, I wonder if it'll drop to between 5-6% at around early or mid-2012 when 0bummer is seeking re-election...

That is excellent - very well written, concise and factual. Kudos!

I submitted your link to Jesse at his Cafe Americain - it deserves broader exposure. Maybe Jesse will post it.

Congratulations on well deserved recognition of your work.

As chance would have it, you and every other post on ZH is being upstaged by the Congressman shooting. There are over 1100 comments (!) and it's a fricking feeding frenzy.

Once again, kudos.
