Inflation Lies and Digital Traps: How the Government is Rigging the Numbers to Blind You Before the Financial Reset

CPI Inflation Data is a Rigged Game—and You’re the Mark

This week’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) release is being labeled by economists as “extremely muddy.” Translation? The numbers are garbage—and the people in power know it. Following a 43-day government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) couldn’t collect real data. So what did they do?

They made it up.

Using what they call “carry-forward methodology,” they assumed prices didn’t change for entire months. That’s like saying your rent, groceries, and gas stayed frozen in time—because they didn’t send someone to check.

You’re not imagining things getting more expensive. The CPI just isn’t allowed to admit it.

The Truth Buried Beneath the Numbers: Inflation Is Worse Than They Admit

Let’s break down what’s really going on:

• Headline inflation is reported at 2.6–2.7% year-over-year.
• Core inflation (excluding food and energy) shows a similar fake calm.
• Real inflation, once you factor in actual spending, is likely far higher.

Economists admit the numbers are “biased downward” due to missing data in October and November. How long will this bias last? Until at least April 2026.

That’s half a year of fake numbers.

And during this time, the Fed gets cover to avoid rate hikes, politicians avoid backlash, and central planners get room to execute the next phase of control: the digital dollar regime.

Housing Data: The Engineered Illusion of Stability

The biggest lie inside the CPI matrix is shelter—rent and “owner’s equivalent rent.” BLS collects this on a six-month rolling average. But because of the shutdown, they’ve treated six months of price movement like a flatline.

Anyone trying to rent an apartment or buy a home knows this is fiction. But the data says everything’s fine—because that’s what the system needs it to say.

When shelter costs are hidden, it masks the very pressure that’s gutting the middle class.

Black Friday Discounts Weaponized as Statistical Cover

November’s inflation readout was collected during the Black Friday discount period. That timing, economists admit, artificially lowered price readings for apparel and recreation goods.

In other words, temporary sale prices were baked into long-term inflation metrics—a statistical gimmick that’s now being used to suggest “things are getting cheaper.”

Don’t fall for it. It’s the same trick they used with gas prices and stimulus checks. Short-term sugar highs mask long-term structural rot.

Why This Matters: Inflation Lies Feed the Digital Currency Beast

This isn’t just about bad accounting—it’s about manufactured consent.

If the public sees high inflation, they demand answers. They buy cash and gold, then rebel.

But if inflation seems low? The Fed gets to move in silence. And right now, they’re quietly laying the groundwork for CBDCs—central bank digital currencies that control when, where, and how you spend your money.

The CPI smoke screen buys them time. FedNow is already operational. Next comes full programmability.

Main Street Collapsing While Wall Street Celebrates

While the CPI sings lullabies, reality hits different:

• Small businesses are filing for bankruptcy at record rates.
• Credit card debt is exploding.
• Real wages are stagnant or falling.
• The middle class is being squeezed to death.

Meanwhile, the market celebrates. Why? Because distorted inflation numbers mean cheap money for the elites and no pressure on the Fed to stop the gravy train.

This is the same playbook that got us 2008—only this time, they’re planning the crash to force you into the digital dollar cage.

Can You Trust the Data? Hell No

When the people who create the inflation are the ones measuring it, you can’t trust a damn thing they print.

The BLS, Fed, Treasury—they all have skin in the game. They benefit from low inflation narratives. That’s why they underreport housing, and ignore real-world pricing. It’s why they’re still pretending 2% inflation is possible when we’re drowning in debt and deficit.

You’re not confused. You’re being lied to.

Call to Action: Your Escape Route Is Narrowing

Here’s the hard truth: they’re stalling while they build the prison. Every fake CPI report is a brick in the wall of the coming Fed-controlled financial grid.

If you wait until it’s official, you’ll already be locked inside.
