Growth Mirage: Why “15% GDP” Means Nothing If the System Collapses Beneath It

What Good Is Growth If No One’s Working?

Donald Trump’s latest economic dream pitch — 15% growth under Fed Chair Kevin Warsh — sounds like a fantasy wrapped in a flag. But let’s say it’s real. Even then, what good is 15% GDP growth when unemployment is also at 15%?

That’s not a boom. That’s a bifurcation — an economy where productivity is off the charts but humans are obsolete.

Thanks to AI automation, central planning, and speculative bubbles, the new “growth” model doesn’t include you. It’s machines running markets, governments printing stats, and digital dollars circulating in closed loops — all while the real-world economy hollows out.

AI Is the Trojan Horse of the Post-Work Economy

The article hints at a so-called productivity boom thanks to AI. But look deeper and you’ll find botched surgeries, bad legal advice, and rising job displacement. AI isn’t improving life — it’s replacing people, destroying middle-class stability, and consolidating control into fewer, algorithmic hands.

And yet, Big Tech gets exemptions from chip tariffs while the rest of the economy is left to rot. This is textbook corporatocracy: a two-tiered system where politically connected firms feast while small businesses and workers starve.

So when they tell you growth is up — ask who it’s for.

Military Escalations Mask Energy Instability

You can’t run a “hot” economy without energy, and that means oil. The U.S. military surge into the Middle East, along with rising tensions around Iran, is no coincidence. Oil prices are now geopolitical weapons, and the system needs cheap energy to keep the illusion of growth alive.

But unlike fiat dollars, oil doesn’t respond to central bank stimulus. That’s why the Strait of Hormuz flashpoints and the Iran nuclear standoff matter more than any GDP projection.

If war breaks out or shipping lanes close, the “15% growth” dream becomes a stagflation nightmare.

Germany, Britain, and Canada: The 1.5% Club of Managed Decline

While Trump touts explosive growth, other Western economies are quietly falling apart:

• Germany is laying off 20,000 Bosch workers amid a deindustrialization wave. Rearmament is propping up GDP, but that’s not recovery — that’s military Keynesianism.
• The UK faces another political meltdown, this time under Starmer, with populist chaos looming on the left.
• Canada may trigger early elections, while U.S. border threats turn infrastructure projects into political leverage.

In every case, leaders are desperately clinging to 1.5% growth — just enough to keep the zombie system from collapsing.

Meanwhile, inflation, political instability, and digital financial control are tightening like a noose.

The EU’s Fantasy of Monetary Sovereignty Is Already Dead

European elites dream of a Euro alternative to Visa and Mastercard, and even Euro-backed stablecoins, but the contradiction is obvious:

• They want digital autonomy.
• But they sign on to U.S. critical minerals plans and still run everything through dollar-based systems.

It’s a geopolitical fantasy — and the markets aren’t buying it. As the ECB flails and France manipulates central bank leadership to fend off “far-right” influence, we’re seeing the weaponization of monetary policy against political opposition.

This is the financial version of regime change.

China and the Coming Digital Currency War

China’s latest move? Banning all private yuan-backed stablecoins. The message is loud and clear: there will be no financial system outside of state control.

And just as they order banks to dump U.S. Treasuries, the Fed’s own members are nervously signaling that confidence in the dollar is fading.

You think that’s random? It’s not.

The global realignment is already here:

• Digital currencies for total control.
• Surveillance systems to track every transaction.
• And programmable money to limit how and where you can spend.

This is not about convenience. This is about control.

The Illusion of Growth Is the Cover for Control

From the U.S. to China to Europe, politicians are pitching GDP growth and economic recovery, but the numbers are just decoration for the real agenda:

• Unemployment is the new normal.

• AI controls the economy.

• Geopolitical crises justify emergency powers.

• And CBDCs and payment systems like FedNow are being rolled out in stealth — while the people are distracted by headlines and electoral theater.

It’s not about whether growth is 1.5% or 15%. It’s about who controls the system when the music stops.

Here’s the Hard Truth: Your Window to Opt Out Is Closing

We are at the tipping point. The global financial order is morphing into something programmable, traceable, and authoritarian.
