The Shadow Conspiracy to Make Us Pay 3x for EVERY Item [Planned Obsolescence Part 1]
You think to yourself, “This can’t possibly be real,” but I assure you it is. Here’s the proof...
Etienne Note: For anyone thinking that “Planned Obsolescence” is an internet hoax, I am embedding the documentary The Lightbulb Conspiracy, which breaks down how the lightbulb industry agreed to limit and engineer lightbulbs to only last 10,000 hours. The Livermore Centennial Lightbulb featured in the documentary is still burning in the Livermore, California firehouse and earlier this month on June 6th celebrated its 125th anniversary. It has been burning continuously since 1901. You can see a video of its 125th Birthday Party on the website celebrating the bulb HERE. The documentary also features the story of the Epson Stylus C42UX inkjet printer which quits working after a certain number of printed pages but can be brought back to life by removing the specific chip in the printer which limits its life.

What if I told you there was a massive conspiracy to make us pay three times over for every item? What if I told you there was another conspiracy to make volunteers pay additional times? You’d say I’m crazy, right? After all, it sounds pretty ridiculous when you hear it, yet this conspiracy is the truest definition of the word conspiracy, and these conspiracies, combined with some well-schemed psychological operations, have driven up the cost of living to the point where most Americans now live paycheck to paycheck—all by design. Let’s begin…
Alaskans Denied Access to Firewood
Not just bad policy, bad politicians, or bad political parties…
Watch:
by Christopher Cook - The Freedom Scale
The real question is not—or ought not be—why government was allowed to do something this bad. The real question is
Why allow any entity to have any nonconsensual power at all?
Do you see the difference?
We can envision it in terms of an imaginary “we are not the same” meme on taxation:
You are angered by certain ways that government spends your tax money.
I know that all taxation is theft, extortion, and slavery.
We are not the same.
250 Years of Taxation in America
The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first direct tax levied by Parliament on the colonies, which had no elected representatives in Parliament to approve or debate it
by Greg Reese - The Reese Report
The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first direct tax levied by Parliament on the colonies, which had no elected representatives in Parliament to approve or debate it. British Parliament later stated in the Declaratory Act that they had “full power and authority to make laws and statutes of sufficient force and validity to bind the colonies and people of America in all cases whatsoever.” According to the story, the American Revolution wasn’t about the size of the tax, it was about the right of Britain to impose taxes on the colonists without their consent.
From 1868 to 1913, 90 percent of federal tax revenue came from alcohol and tobacco taxes. In 1909, President Taft recommended that Congress propose a constitutional amendment to give the government power to tax incomes without apportioning the burden.
Israeli foreign agent took over The Charlie Kirk Show days after his killing
Charlie Kirk’s media empire and his right-wing activist organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), have come under the control of the Israel-directed forces he spent his last months antagonizing
By Max Blumenthal - The Grayzone
The Charlie Kirk Show is now distributed by a federally registered agent of Israel tasked with seeding American media with Zionist propaganda. It is part of a whopping $46 million dollar annual contract between the Israeli government and Brad Parscale, the former chief of staff for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. This may be the largest lobbying contract in the history of foreign influence operations in the US.
On September 10, 2025, Kirk was assassinated during the first stop on his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley State University. Eight days later, Parscale registered as a foreign agent of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, assuming responsibility for a propaganda blitz “tailored to Gen Z audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets.”
SpaceX’s Starfall capsule could make military supply drops from space
SpaceX is preparing to test Starfall, its new orbital cargo capsule that could one day be used for automated orbital labs or as depots to store military equipment in space.
By David Szondy - New Atlas
SpaceX is preparing to test Starfall, its new orbital cargo capsule that could one day be used for automated orbital labs or as depots to store military equipment in space, ready for immediate deployment anywhere on the globe.
On Tuesday, June 23, after 6:43 am EDT, SpaceX plans to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Since the company launches so many rockets these days, making a comment on it is hardly necessary, but this one is different because the payload is the experimental Starfall capsule.
