Dear Reader,
Look, DLS released the latest CPI number.
November 2025: 2.7% year-over-year inflation.
The media's celebrating. Analysts are breathing sighs of relief. The Fed's feeling good about themselves.
Government claims 2.7% inflation but real prices tell a different story—eggs up 36.8%, shelter up 4.6%, auto insurance up 11.3%
CPI is manipulated propaganda that doesn't measure real cost of living—they constantly change the basket of goods with fantasy numbers that bear no relation to what people actually pay.
Real inflation is the expansion of fake fiat money supply—not rising prices—prices rising is the symptom, Fed money printing is the disease
Me? I'm calling bull-scam.
Nothing but bread-and-circus.
Let me tell you why this number is garbage, why the government's lying straight to your face, and what you need to do right now to protect yourself.
The Number Is Already Suspicious
First off, there's an obvious problem nobody's talking about.
The federal government shut down in October. The Bureau of Labor Statistics couldn't even collect their survey data. They admitted this themselves.
So this November number? They're comparing September to November. They just skipped October entirely.
Think about that. That alone makes the whole thing worthless.
But trust me, it gets way worse.
What CPI Actually Measures (And It's Not What You Think)
Here's the thing about CPI—it doesn't measure your actual cost of living. Never has.
It measures this constantly changing basket of goods using all these manipulated methods designed to make inflation look lower than it really is.
Let me break down what they do:
Hedonic adjustments: Your computer's faster this year? They say you got more value, so technically the price didn't increase. Never mind that you still paid more actual dollars.
Substitution: Steak getting expensive? They just assume you'll buy chicken instead. Then they measure chicken prices and tell you inflation's lower. Your standard of living just dropped, but the CPI doesn't care about that.
Owners' Equivalent Rent: Instead of looking at actual home prices, they survey homeowners and ask what they think their house would rent for. It's literally a made-up number based on people's feelings.
This isn't measurement. This is manipulation designed to make the government look good.
The Real Numbers They're Hiding from You
You want to know what real inflation looks like?
Look at what you actually pay for:
Eggs are up 36.8% year-over-year. That's not 2.7%. That's over 35%.
Shelter costs? Up 4.6% annually. And that's using their fake OER methodology. Real housing costs? Way, way higher.
Auto insurance is up 11.3%. Because everything about cars costs more.
Transportation services are up 7.3% year-over-year.
Food away from home—restaurants—up 3.6%.
These are things you pay for every single day. Every month.
Not the 2.7% fairy tale they're selling on the news.
That Shutdown Timing Is Way Too Convenient
Let's talk about that October shutdown for a second.
Government couldn't collect data. So they just... skipped it.
Now they're giving us a two-month comparison instead of the usual month-to-month.
Pretty convenient, right?
Gives them perfect cover to smooth out any inconvenient price spikes. Lets them present whatever number looks good politically.
This is exactly why I never trust government statistics. They manipulate them whenever they need to.
And right now? They desperately need you to believe inflation's under control.
Real Inflation Is Something Completely Different
Here's what nobody in the mainstream media will tell you.
Inflation isn't actually rising prices. Rising prices are just the symptom.
Real inflation is the expansion of the money supply.
When the Fed prints trillions of dollars—which they absolutely did during COVID, and they're still doing it—that's inflation. That's the real problem.
Rising prices are just the inevitable result. More money chasing the same amount of goods.
CPI only measures the symptom. And even then, they lie about it.
What they never measure is the actual disease: fiat currency creation. Printing fake money out of thin air.
That's the real theft happening. And it's only accelerating.
The Fiat Money Scam Nobody Talks About
The dollar is fake money. It's been fake since 1971 when Nixon took us off the gold standard.
It's not backed by anything real. Just government promises and military power.
Every single dollar they print steals value from every dollar you're holding in your wallet.
That's inflation. That's theft. That's how the system works.
CPI at 2.7%? That's just propaganda designed to keep you calm while they rob you blind.
Real inflation—if you actually measure money supply growth instead of these manipulated price indices—is way, way higher.
And your purchasing power? It's evaporating every single day.
What Rich People Are Actually Doing
While you're reading headlines celebrating 2.7% CPI, wealthy people are doing something completely different.
They're buying gold. Silver. Bitcoin. Real estate. Businesses.
Assets that can't be printed. Assets that actually hold value when fiat currencies eventually collapse.
They understand what's coming. They've read the history books. They've seen this movie before.
Fiat currencies always die. Throughout all of human history. No exceptions.
The dollar's dying right now. And CPI manipulation isn't going to save it.
The Crash That's Coming
Here's what most people don't get.
You can't just print trillions and trillions of dollars without consequences.
You can't manipulate statistics forever.
You can't hide real inflation from people who see it every week in their grocery bills, their rent payments, their insurance premiums.
Eventually, reality catches up with the lies.
A crash is coming. Not because I'm some doom-and-gloom guy. But because history says so.
Every fiat currency system in history has collapsed. Every debt bubble has burst. Every manipulation scheme has eventually failed.
The only question is when, not if.
Why I'm Loading Up on Real Assets Right Now
I don't hold dollars for the long term. I never have.
I buy physical gold. Gold I can actually hold in my hand. Not paper gold that just promises I own something.
I buy silver for the same reason.
I buy Bitcoin because it has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Nobody can print more. Ever.
I buy real estate because they're not making any more land.
I buy businesses that generate actual cash flow.
These are real assets. They can't be inflated away by government money printing.
When the dollar finally collapses—and trust me, it will—these assets will preserve your wealth. Maybe even grow it.
Your savings account? Your bonds? Your 401(k) stuffed with paper assets?
They're going to get destroyed.
Stop Believing the 2.7% Lie
Just look at your own life for a second.
Are your groceries really only 2.7% more expensive than last year? Or are they 20-30% higher?
Did your rent go up 2.7%? Or way more than that?
Is your insurance 2.7% higher? Or is it double digits?
Trust your actual experience. Not government propaganda.
They're lying to you. They have to lie. The entire system depends on you believing the lie.
If everyone suddenly realized real inflation was 10%, 15%, maybe 20%—there'd be panic in the streets. The system would collapse overnight.
So they feed you 2.7%. And they hope you'll just believe it and go back to sleep.
What You Can Do Right Now
The government says inflation is 2.7%.
Your grocery bill says that's a complete lie.
CPI methodology has been designed from the ground up to understate real inflation. It always has been.
That convenient October shutdown distorted the data even more.
Real inflation—measured by actual money supply expansion—is way higher than they're admitting.
The fiat dollar is dying. It's been dying since 1971 when we left the gold standard.
Rich people know this. That's exactly why they're stacking gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
Poor and middle-class people believe the CPI lie. They keep their savings in dollars. And they watch their purchasing power slowly evaporate.
The crash is coming. Not maybe. Definitely.
The only question is whether you'll be ready when it finally hits.
So stop celebrating fake 2.7% numbers.
Start stacking real assets that can't be printed.
Before it's too late.
