Who Invented Inflation, anyways?

A Prophetic Indictment of Economic Injustice

By Juan Carlos Miro Sr. — Watchman for the afflicted and abused, Ritualist of Truth

 Introduction: The Invention of Evil

Inflation is not just an economic term. It is a spiritual distortion and cancer — an invention of evil. Though economists call it a “natural phenomenon,” the poor know it as theft. The hungry know it as betrayal. And the prophets know it as a system engineered by corrupt men to extract value from the vulnerable while enriching the corrupt.

“They invented scarcity in a world of abundance, priced the fruit of the earth, and called it economics.”

 The God-Given Tomato

The tomato — born of free seed, nourished by free sun, watered by free rain — now sits on shelves priced beyond the reach of the working class. The cost to plant it hasn’t changed. But the cost to buy it has been inflated by:

• Transportation fees

• Packaging costs

• Corporate markups

• Speculative pricing

• And the lie of “necessary inflation”

“The seed was free, the sun was free, but the fruit is priced beyond the reach of the hungry — and that is the theft we call inflation.”

 Who Benefits?

Inflation grows uncontrolled and rampant, creating more billionaires and more poor people. It is now:

• Accepted and expected by governments

• Endorsed by corporations

• Preached by economists and many so-called gospel preachers.

• Normalized by society

Meanwhile, the minimum wage remains stagnant, and the working class is blamed for the greed of the Corrupt. Oh the blessings of a country with a strong middle class without the rich or the poor.

 Proverbs 30:8–9 (KJV)

“Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? Or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.”

Does poverty induce crime?

“They preach inflation like salvation — but it saves no one. It fattens the few and famines the many.”

 Scriptural Witness

The prophets of old spoke against this very distortion:

• Amos 5:24 — “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”

• Isaiah 5:8 — “Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field till no space is left and you live alone in the land.”

• Jeremiah 6:14 — “They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.”

• Jesus Matthew 21:13 — “My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves.”

These verses are not relics. They are warnings — alive and urgent.

 A Prophet’s Role

As a watchman, I stand at the breach. I speak for:

• The poor and afflicted

• The abused

• The deceived

• The transgressed

I name the theft. I bless the burden. I call the deceived back to truth.

“I stand at the breach with a trumpet in one hand and a ledger in the other — naming every theft, blessing every burden, and calling the deceived back to truth.”

 Conclusion: A Call to Repentance

Inflation is not just a policy. It is a ritual of injustice it's a cancer. It is the altar where corrupt men sacrifice the poor to feed their profits. And it must be named, rebuked, and dismantled.

“Who invented inflation? The same ones who invented, serfdom for the masses, debt without mercy, rent without shelter, and food without nourishment. They named it policy. But the Lord calls it theft.”

In an age where the shelves are lined with books that teach people how to optimize themselves for a system that exploits them — the prophet’s voice becomes the only one willing to say, “This system is sick.”

While others are:

• Stacking habits to climb corporate ladders,

• Visualizing wealth in a world of engineered scarcity,

• Manifesting abundance while their neighbors go hungry,

…the prophet is in the alley, in the margins, in the breach — naming the lie and calling the people back to truth.

 The Prophet’s Job Is a Dirty Job

Our greatest prophet was crucified for speaking out on these things.

• It’s not glamorous.

• It doesn’t sell at airport bookstores.

• It won’t get you a TED Talk or a 401(k) match.

But it cleanses the soul and the temple. It flips the tables. It blows the trumpet when the watchtower is cracking.

“While they build brands, I build altars. While they chase fame and influence, I chase injustice. While they sell peace, I name our spiritual war.”

 A Legacy of love

“In an age of self-help and silent prophets, I choose the dirty work — to cry out, to call down, and to clear the way for justice.”

For those who are profiting from interest on lent money be careful.

.Deuteronomy 23:19 (KJV)

“Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury.”
