The Scam No One’s Talking About: How America Profits Off Your Suffering and Calls It “Responsibility”
If you're looking for freedom in 2025, good luck. You're breathing in smoke, watching your neighbors drown, and being told that the system worked. Welcome to America—the only country where you can lose your house, your health, and your mind, and still be blamed for not working hard enough.
In this week’s blistering episode of PrecisionCycle, Enrique Raga unpacks the unspoken reality behind the floods in Texas, the fires in Los Angeles, and the quiet, calculated cuts to Medicare. These aren’t isolated tragedies. They’re externalities—the academic alibi for a system that profits from your pain.
From insurance companies dragging their feet on fire payouts to FEMA being gutted in the name of “budgeting,” every mechanism that’s supposed to protect you has been weaponized against you. You pay the premiums. You trust the government. And when it all burns down, you’re the problem.
Enrique pulls no punches:
“Control is sold to you, but never delivered. That’s the scam.”
Drawing from Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, he reveals how these events aren’t just policy failures—they're deliberate exercises in mass gaslighting. We are taught the language of the oppressor so well that we begin to blame ourselves for being abandoned.
The episode dives into real-life examples:
The 95 people dead in Texas—including 27 children and staff at a summer camp.
LA residents breathing literal smoke from January fires, months later, with no clean-up in sight.
Medicare cuts disguised as “fiscal responsibility” while billions are handed to war contractors.
And at the core of it all? The narcissistic loop of American systems:
Inflict harm
Demand gratitude
Withhold aid
Blame the victim
This isn’t just political commentary—it’s psychological warfare, and PrecisionCycle is your translator.
“You’re not broken. You’re being broken—by design.”
This episode isn’t therapy. It’s liberation. It doesn’t want you to cope. It wants you to name the lie, reclaim your agency, and fight the machine.
