Who's driving the hundreds of billions of dollars that control Big Pharma, Gates, Fauci, the CDC, the Federal Government, ... involvement in the Covid PlanScamDemic?

Blackrock, Larry Fink, and the New York Fed.

A century ago, the Money Masters gained control of the US Dollar and its banking system with the establishment of the Federal Reserve.

For this last century, the major commercial banks have lent retail money into existence, as they lent money to individuals, businesses, and governments.

Meanwhile the Fed created more Dollars, to fund the commercial banks. In times of economic slowdown, the Fed would lower interest rates on the money it lent to the commercial banks, in order to stimulate, indirectly, more lending to the rest of us from those commercial banks. Any other nation that refused to establish a co-operating central bank was bombed to colonial status, a failed nation.

With the financial crisis of 2008, the Fed was reaching the limit of how low it could drive interest rates, so it started "going direct", directly buying distressed assets, such as failing mortgage backed securities, from the commercial banks.

Then in September 2019, just _before_ the covid pandemic, the Fed and Blackrock announced at their annual Jackson Hole meeting that they would have to increase their "direct" involvement in money creation, when ever the next crisis hit. Lo and behold, surprise, surprise, the next crisis arrived right on queue, three weeks later, with the Repo Market Crisis (https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/what-happened-in-money-markets-in-september-2019-20200227.htm), to be followed by the covid pandemic in early 2020, and assorted other political and economic crises.

Now the Fed will continue to stoke one crisis after another, pushing more and more individuals, businesses and governments into financial ruin and panic, so that they can "come to the rescue", not with lower interest rates on sovereign debt and inter-bank over-night loans (as they had done for a century, but can no longer do with interest rates now close to zero), but with direct involvement in providing money to desperate individuals, businesses, and governments.

The Fed is changing their role (in part by means of their ability to fund crises) from being the banker's banker, to being everyone's banker.

This will culminate in central bank digital currencies (CBDC's). In a few years, cash will be obsolete (hard for the Fed to track and control what I spend a dollar bill on), replaced by CBDC's. If the Fed decides that I am eating too much bacon and cheese on my Keto diet, then it would be able to immediately in real time decline my purchase of a bacon-cheeseburger and milk shake at McDonald's (or the organic equivalent ingredients at Sprout's).

The Fed will become everyone's banker, tracking and controlling every use of money, down to the allowance a parent gives a child and what the child spends that allowance on.

I have no doubt (</sarcasm>) the Fed will only use that control for the better of us all, and won't ever consider throttling my spending if I say something mean about them on some social media platform.

Bitcoin and current digital currencies are a warm up act for this, that reward geeks to develop the technology required for this.

Larry Fink (Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Blackrock) and his ilk want absolute total control, and they are on a path to get it.

This Battle Royale between the people and the Money Masters has been ongoing for all of recorded history.

William Jennings Bryan's famous Cross of Gold speech at the Democratic. National Convention in Chicago, in July 1896, was a milestone in that battle, when "the people's money", silver, was still being fought for by the common man in America. The Yellow Brick Road in the Wizard of Oz was this path of gold that the New York Money Masters were driving us down, and Dorothy's silver slippers (changed to Red slippers in the movie) were the common man's silver.

Bryan won the Democrat nomination, after several ballots, but lost the general election to William McKinley. The gold standard prevailed and silver was demonetized, sending many midwest farmers into bankruptcy when they couldn't get enough gold to pay their mortgages and bank debt. The many independent banks, issuing their own currencies, were consolidated after the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. The Money Masters controlling the Fed then gained direct control over wholesale banking in the United States.

Now, with the developing digital currencies, working in real time over the Internet, the Money Masters are extending their control to real-time control, down to the smallest transaction, at the retail level.

As then, still now, wars, plagues, depressions, political collapse and other major disasters are used by the Money Masters to "shake the current system loose", so that they can reconstitute it in a manner more suiting to their lust for absolute control.

The above essay inspires me to predict the following crises:


Congress will fail to pass a budget and raise or continue to suspend the Federal Debt Ceiling Limit, by the deadline this Fall of 2021, forcing the US Federal Government into financial crisis. The U.S. Credit Rating will be lowered from AAA as a result. The Fed will come to the rescue.

Social Security and Medicare will have a funding crisis. Guess who comes to the rescue.

Various other state, local, union, corporate and private pension and retirement plans will go bankrupt, perhaps with a stock market crash. Thanks for helping out, Mr. Fed.

The housing market will collapse, putting further stress on landlords who weren't able to enforce rent collections during the covid eviction moratoriums.

Farmers will go bankrupt, due to supply chain disruptions, draught, flood and freezing. Only a few of us will actually starve to death, thanks to the Fed.

The medical establishment will enter (even further) into a grand crisis of confidence and funding.

The long term conversion to working from home will devastate the market for office space, bankrupting more landlords. Surely the Fed can find a way to "help" here too.



What pending crisis have I missed?

We are in a Great **** Storm. Our institutions, leaders and customs are being called into question. The **** will keep coming, and coming, and coming, for perhaps the next several years.

"They" "need" to convince all of us that we really screwed the pooch, that our institutions, governments, corporations, and neighbors are potentially dangerous spreaders of viruses and terrorism, and that we are all a danger to life on this planet with our abuse of the land, water and air and our waste of energy.

"They" intend to replace the monetary system with the "perfect" next generation system, that cannot be abused to fund crimes against humanity, not even by the most powerful (except, of course, by the man behind the curtain).

The faceless, "perfect" Quantum Blockchain Financial System will track (and potentially control) all monetizable human (and robotic) activity, down to the fractions of a penny that one's social media posts and cat videos might earn for each thanks, retweet and view, down to the small pebble imbued with rare earth minerals as it is mined by a robot on some asteroid.

We are watching the collapse of the current monetary system, based on debt and petro backed fiat money, to be replaced with monetized "quantum bits" controlled by some inscrutable hive of faceless computers networked across all nations and peoples, across all lands, asteroids, planets and solar systems as our civilization extends out.

Some of those who have been more observant of the inevitability of yet another debt/fiat monetary collapse (such happens over and over in our history) might have stashed a few gold and silver coins, anticipating that those metals will retain and regain their "true" value, and ride out this long anticipated storm. Even these stackers will be trapped into the "new" quantum monetary system, as all transactions using those coins to exchange for anything else of value, whether a loaf of bread or a space faring starship, will need to occur within this new "quantum blockchain financial system".

Beware such words as "quantum" and "blockchain", for such words mark the curtains behind which our overlords would hide.

Perhaps there is a Great Battle going on, between Good and Evil, that those more intuitive and aware can sense. Perhaps the Evil overlords will prevail, and our Civilization will become as a toxic Superfund wasteland. Perhaps the Good overlords will prevail and our Civilization will become as a field in spring with grass and flowers and trees, with rabbits, worms, deer and birds, and with gentle breezes and spring rains. Perhaps we are as the worms, working that soil, through whom all this will manifest.

Perhaps "quantum blockchains" will provide the robust underpinnings of a robust and healthy monetary system for our Civilization, as we extend out across this and neighboring solar systems, over the next ten thousand years.

[gord]

Once they require proof of defective vaccination for most, AND it's all on a blockchain for most, AND every kind of interaction with anything is monetized for most, most will be in for a very rough ride.

Larry & Carstens' Excellent Pandemic (54 min)



The pandemic presented forensically for what it is, namely, a massive theatrical edifice intended to distract popular attention away from the fact that criminal bankers running the monetary system are making a concerted push toward full-on totalitarianism through monetary and financial control.

... or perhaps Ben Davidson, over at Suspicious Observers (https://suspicious0bservers.org), is right, and we are soon due for another catastrophic shift, by about 90 degrees, of the earth's crust, over a sudden, few days time. If such happens, then human civilization would (once again?) be shifted back to a time of a handful of lucky survivors, starting all over again.

As I just now listened to my daily dose of Gregory Mannarino (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOhzyG-i7IMBEMbyRlI66g), the best commentator and day trader on New York Stock Exchange and Federal Reserve activity that I know of, I am once again reminded that
"the Fed is determined to finish what they started over a century ago, to become the lenders and buyers of last resort."

Not only, as I explained above, does the Fed intend to issue a Central Bank Distributed Currency (CBDC), in conjunction with other major cooperating Central Banks world-wide, under the auspices of the Bank of International Settlements, which over time will move all monetary transactions into a "secure" (from all interlopers) network that they control,

https://blog.bizvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Top-10-Investment-Companies.png
but also the Fed, along with a few cooperating investment firms such as Blackrock, along with a few uber wealthy billionaires such as Bill Gates (now buying up U.S. farmland), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), and Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX), are buying it all:
mD-ioJM8v64
They will own it all. We will buy our disposables at the company store, and pay our rents, fees and taxes, with money that they issue, in transactions that they monitor and control, in real time, to the finest granularity that they determine.

[ThePythonicCow]

The housing market will collapse, putting further stress on landlords who weren't able to enforce rent collections during the covid eviction moratoriums.


Reuters reports today that:

U.S. Supreme Court ends CDC's pandemic residential eviction moratorium (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-supreme-court-ends-federal-residential-eviction-moratorium-2021-08-27/)

This "residential eviction moratorium" was a year and a half long nation-wide intervention that first financially weakened or bankrupted landlords who could not collect rent, and now will weaken or render homeless tenants who cannot pay back rent, and if jobless, not pay current rent either.

So now both business rentals (for office space vacated by work-from-home mandates) and residential rentals (first landlords, then tenants impacted by CDC mandates) are weakened or ruined.

We are now one giant step closer to "You will own nothing" (unless you're Blackrock, Gates or similar).

How the BIS operates

According to the BIS Charter that was formally adopted on January 20, 1930, both individuals and central banks would subscribe to shares issued by the BIS. However, the charter limited the voting rights and representation at the BIS meetings to central banks of countries in which the shares were officially subscribed. In 2001, the BIS reviewed the share subscription rights and restricted the share ownership to central banks or equivalent monetary authorities in its respective member countries. The individual shareholders were locked out of share ownership and were compensated rightfully.

Brilliant opening post, Paul. Thanks. I anticipate the Fed announcement that bartering has become a capital offense.

[ThePythonicCow]

The death of the Petro Dollar continues. We are transitioning to the next world monetary system. The Money Masters remain in the drivers seat, so far as we can see.

Along with the collapse of confidence in the US Military, due to its catastrophic failure in Kabul, Afghanistan, the following Youtuber is reporting that two OPEC countries, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, are making military agreements with Russia.

The US Military backing of the OPEC regimes was a critical piece of the Petro-Dollar. Those OPEC regimes we "protected" demanded US Dollars in payment for their oil, and then in turn sent much of that income back through US financial institutions.

That major cash flow, coming and going, for a world-wide critical resource, petroleum, was a major part of what kept the US Dollar valuable. Nations needed US Dollars to buy oil. Since 1971, the US Dollar no longer had gold backing it. It had a major, essential, commodity - oil.

This illustrated a key method by which the Money Masters have controlled civilization for thousands of years. They set up what amounts to toll booths at a critical points in the flow of wealth. Petro, which must be bought using US Dollars, has been such a toll booth, ever since Nixon took the US Dollar off the gold standard, fifty years ago.

We now have a senile puppet, controlled by the Death to America crowd, such as Obama, running that toll booth. No one is afraid any more of the guard at that toll booth. Rather they are afraid of depending on that guard for any critical protection, and afraid of allowing their women and children anywhere near that "guard".

Russia now has the trusted military, and China the big bank account.

The Petro-Dollar is dying. The guard at its toll booth, the US Military, is (literally) suffering from vaccinosis, their nominal leader from dementia, and the powers behind the throne are traitors.

So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie

Everything will become simpler, but the survivors will be trading in a whole lot of very complex NWO headaches for mastery of basic survival skills, which won't be easy.
Preppers and Survivalists will certainly be ahead of the game.
But with all the toxins that the cataclysms will be releasing into the environment at large (just for one, think of radioactive waste from nuclear plants) basic survival skills may not be enough.

Neighbours have right to retrieve lost balls, cats under new Belgian law


8/25/2021
World News 



London: The days of children saying “can I have my ball back, please?”
after kicking it into a garden are numbered in Belgium.




A new property law comes into force on September 1 that will allow people to retrieve a ball or wandering pet from a neighbour’s garden without asking for permission. Under current rules, the neighbour can refuse access.

The laws allow people to venture onto a neighbour’s property to retrieve a lost ball, or cat. Credit:Louise Kennerley

Vincent Sagaert, a law professor at Leuven University, helped draw up the new rules.

“From September 1, you have the right to collect your ball or pet, provided it ended up there by accident,” he told Flemish radio. “Just kicking the ball over the hedge to have a look around is not allowed. Of course, you must use your common sense.

“You have to ring the bell of the neighbour and ask first. But if they refuse or are not at home, you can still enter the garden to quickly get it back.”

He added: “But only to look for your ball or animal, not to take other things, because that is still just called theft.”

Defending the new laws, Sagaert said the private property rules were badly in need of reform with some dating from 1804 and written by Napoleon.

Eric Dierickx, a magistrate in a small claims court in Flemish Brabant, said the law would be monitored.

“People cannot just start walking into anyone’s garden, abuses will also be punished,” he said.

The reforms include an extension of the so-called “ladder law”, which allows people to use a neighbour’s land to store a ladder to trim hedges or clean gutters.

That right will be expanded to include construction equipment for new buildings or to carry out repairs on a house, though only if the owner has no space on his own property for it.

Neighbours can refuse permission but will have to prove they have a good reason for doing so.

People will also have the right to walk on empty private land, unless it is fenced off, cultivated, or there is a warning sign.

Laws in Australia allow neighbours to refuse permission for people to enter their property. Neighbours can also demand that any person who has entered their property leave.

[All is one]

A new property law comes into force on September 1 that will allow people to retrieve a ball or wandering pet from a neighbour’s garden without asking for permission. Under current rules, the neighbour can refuse access.

It all sounds fine, but you know this type of thing is going to give problems. One can not supervise that the ball is not kicked over the fence on purpose, or that the owner denied you acces so you just had to get in to their garden or any other abuses of this law.

More over it seems to be just the first step in what they want to accomplish.

Today they put in an article promoting people to take away all their garden fences and share their gardens as being in the best interest of everyone. I think it can be good in some situations, but is definitively not the best solution in every situation.

Did not find the article in English
https://www.hln.be/binnenland/deze-gezinnen-delen-hun-tuin-met-de-buren-van-trampoline-tot-grasmachine-en-moestuin-samen-hebben-we-veel-meer~aa6b3432/

Anyway they are brewing up something here. And that something definitively has to do with changing the notion of ownership.

[I am B]

I don't think the "you'll own nothing" premise will be applied like that. In spain is already full on. Impossibility to grow economically, inexistent credits for housing or business (everybody lives with a rent and no ground property) , salaries not enough to even survive monthly without help, unavailability to buy things without financing harder control of second hand goods, technology added to EVERYTHING that shortens usable life and prevents it from changing hands, and less availability of cash money.

Its not that they'll do it. Its done already, at least here. And probably will just get worse.

And thats purely "material" matters, without getting into the decline of morals and values

[ThePythonicCow]

I don't think the "you'll own nothing" premise will be applied like that.
...
Its not that they'll do it. Its done already, at least here. And probably will just get worse.
It's a mixed bag where I am in Texas, having moved out of California 14 years ago, when I saw it going too far "left".

I own and repair my tools, home, car, ... without any encumbering debt, having spent some 20 years unraveling myself from a typical "middle American" high debt, high cash flow, highly taxed, ... life style.

I own my health and nutrition, having quit going to doctors or hospitals some 15 years ago.

I own my understanding of (or ignorance of) what the 'f' is going on, what's important, and what's false and evil.

There are many like me in what is disparagingly called "fly over country" in America, each taking ownership of their own lives, of nurturing their children, and of whatever else matters to them.

There are many, including others on this Avalon forum, who openly and honestly share their understanding, expertise, insights and experiences with others, both online and in person.

The "elite bastards" have dominating control of most larger institutions, private and public, corporate ("for profit" or not), and governmental (local, national or international), including financial and monetary institutions.

But their surveillance and control down to the individual level, systemic, pervasive and in real-time, of our words and deeds is spotty.

They are now instituting the infrastructure to make that control all encompassing, as a "modern industrialized farmer" controls their crops, herds, and flocks.

A couple of hundred years ago, there were herds of wild buffalo and cattle roaming free on the western plains of North America. Those are gone now.

The elite bastards intend to complete that "domestication" of the "human animal", as "modern agriculture" has "domesticated" animals. We are but animals to them, with certain useful skills and roles, many of which they would replace with robotics and such.

(Mind you, I don't fear robotics, computers, AI, the Internet, cryptocurrencies and such. I have some expertise in portions of such technologies. They are useful tools, for both good and evil purposes, just as are such classical weapons/tools as knives and guns.)

The elite bastards are working to extend their essentially total control of major national and "central" banks down to the individual level, to cover all that is monetized or can be sensed by or controlled by their sensors, networks, robotics and such. Just as nations and peoples that refused to institute cooperating central banks have been bombed back to the stone age, similarly the elite bastards intend to destroy or eliminate the individuals and their groups and communities that resist this control.

This is a project that takes generations to unfold.

You can still strive to be free from subservience to, enslavement by, their rule. You can still strive to live your life in the light of higher spiritual awareness.

We control our destiny. The elite bastards are going to have to learn the hard way that the human connection to the higher spirit can not be crushed, that humans can not be enslaved in perpetuity. It may be a brutal lesson for them, if they so choose.

[ThePythonicCow]

.
My Real Forecast:


The above shall not pass.

Our overlords, the elite bastards as I call them, are failing.

The "herd", the masses of humanity, will turn on them, as they realize, to various extents and in various ways, how dark and nasty their "respected" leaders, elders, and experts have been, for a long time.

This turning will happen soon, in the following months.

When our friends, neighbors, relatives and others in our communities, realize this, in their own diverse and individual ways, welcome them and maintain your humam-to-human bonds with them.

These bonds that have been stressed and seemingly broken this last year or two. Welcome your Prodigal Son (or other) home, or back to whatever connection once had with them.

Reach out with your hand and welcome their aboard your life boat of human caring, understanding and awareness.

That turning is not here yet, and some serious s**t is going to have to hit an uncountable number of fans first. Buckle up.

Most of our institutions, organizations and public customs will have to be reworked, rebuilt, and even reconceived. War is hell, and this war is perhaps the most deeply pervasive and global war that humanity has ever fought. The clean-up and rebuilding will take years.

[ThePythonicCow]

This turning will happen soon, in the following months.
Eric Clapton first came to notice with the Yardbirds in 1963. He is second only to Jimi Hendrix on the Rolling Stones' List of 100 Greatest Guitarists (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-greatest-guitarists-153675/).

Earlier this month, he released the "single This Has Gotta Stop and an accompanying music video that has been described as a protest song against COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccinations and contains what critics described as lyrical and visual statements against what Clapton sees as the erosion of civil liberties as the result of lockdown policies" (to quote his Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton).

Rock music has been an iconic, leading, indicator of cultural shifts throughout the long career of Eric Clapton.

I suspect that his new single, This Has Gotta Stop, is such an indicator.

I think that looking for outside indicators is not good, for it just moves the "deadline of rebellion" and makes you compliant.

I personally set personal deadlines, and stick to them.

I set a deadline date for the curfew we were having, and once it was due, I didn't respect it anymore. Had long night walks on the deserted beach at night and came back home late. And nothing really happened, because it DID stop being reasonable after it, not only for me. Also I did my deal of social collaboration and gave my reasonable share of freedoms for the cause before that, so my conciousness couldn't be cleaner.

The thing is to apply this to every little matter.

In spain cities are being blocked for cars made before 2004 (which makes no f**** sense) because of "pollution", and its a measure slowly expanding to other towns and cities. Mostly fueled by the vehicle lobby and corrupt governments, who are trying to push technologically implemented cars with super short lifespan and bugged to the bone with trackers and heavy monitoring. (theyre big economical monsters jumping into the big data/social surveillance train too) But I'm not gonna stop driving my 1986 suzuki samurai, a car that lasted forever and still burns less fuel than many of the ones allowed right now. (or the cruise ships in front of the coast) The evolution should be done because I want to get a cheap car that gives me better specs or reliability, but it barely exists right now, and usually have prohibitive prices that imply a mortgage. (going back to the great reset topic)

My deadline is, that if that restriction expands ANYWHERE else, I'd just unscrew the plates of my car and go along, burn the cameras down, or just be fined for whatever amount of money. I paid religiously the driving tax for it and had my revisions up to date.

Same with Surveillance. My area is preety high on house break-ins, etc, so i find it reasonable to a point to have cameras at the neighborhood entrances, connected to the police station. But, If a single extra camera is placed from now on on ANY point of my neighborhood, I'll just grab a pellet gun, because the necessary limit has been reached already.

And imo thats what should be done on any matter. When each of us starts to be tired about something, we should place a personal deadline, based solely on personal experience (no news, no opinions, no Internet).

And stick to it, even if we're alone in it. In the end thats how you stop anything from advancing.

This turning will happen soon, in the following months.
Eric Clapton first came to notice with the Yardbirds in 1963. He is second only to Jimi Hendrix on the Rolling Stones' List of 100 Greatest Guitarists (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-greatest-guitarists-153675/).

Earlier this month, he released the "single This Has Gotta Stop and an accompanying music video that has been described as a protest song against COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccinations and contains what critics described as lyrical and visual statements against what Clapton sees as the erosion of civil liberties as the result of lockdown policies" (to quote his Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton).

Rock music has been an iconic, leading, indicator of cultural shifts throughout the long career of Eric Clapton.

I suspect that his new single, This Has Gotta Stop, is such an indicator.

Eric Clapton nearly lost the use of his hands when he took the vaccine in Febuary and April of 2021.

As was reported here (https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/eric-clapton-feared-he-would-never-play-again-after-covid-shot-slams-vaccine-propaganda/ar-BB1gSs2J) in MSN on May 18:


“In February this year, before I learned about the nature of the vaccines, (and being 76 with ephezyma) I was in the avant garde. I took the first jab of AZ and straight away had severe reactions which lasted ten days, I recovered eventually and was told it would be twelve weeks before the second one,” he wrote.

Clapton continued, “About six weeks later I was offered and took the second AZ shot, but with a little more knowledge of the dangers. Needless to say the reactions were disastrous, my hands and feet were either frozen, numb or burning, and pretty much useless for two weeks, I feared I would never play again, (I suffer with peripheral neuropathy and should never have gone near the needle.) But the propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone.”
Clapton's hands are no ordinary pair of hands.

The "herd", the masses of humanity, will turn on them, as they realize, to various extents and in various ways, how dark and nasty their "respected" leaders, elders, and experts have been, for a long time.

This turning will happen soon, in the following months.

That turning is not here yet, and some serious s**t is going to have to hit an uncountable number of fans first. Buckle up.


You might well be right. One way or another the world - with the US at the centre - is on course for a reckoning. Will it be a 'great awakening', a grand revelation, or will one straw too many finally break the camel's back? The crumbling economy - the thrust of this thread - is merely one of many, many straws.

I feel it's inevitable. It was written in the cards on Nov 3rd last year. It's only a matter of time now before this all spills out into the streets in the form of open conflict. :(

What happened 12,000 years ago? Davidson and Schock concur.

Connecting all the dots is a lot easier now with all the new data in from Suspicious Observers's Ben Davidson.

In his conversation from 2014 with geologist/archeologist Dr. Robert Schoch, who has been sharing his undeniable conclusions over the years about his discoveries surrounding the Sphinx, Gobleki Tepi, the Fall of Atlantis, the Carrington Event, petroglyphs and other records left by the ancients, they correlate and relate their conclusions to massive solar outbursts at the end of the last Ice Age, what they portend for the future, and much more.

And the data keeps coming in, shoring up what Davidson, Schock and other original thinkers have been saying all along about the true age and foundations of civilizations and how they are affected by the Sun and solar cycles.

The academic world (perhaps Egyptologists in particular), which has been heavily influenced and coerced by controllers who prefer to keep the public in the dark, have less and less real basis for contradicting these fresh and well-founded observations.

Schock and Davidson lament at the end of this discussion about how woefully unprepared we are for what the Sun cycles and other cosmic events may have in store for us, and both agree about how the potential for disaster coming soon is building up dramatically.

Are we truly awake yet?

Everything will become simpler, but the survivors will be trading in a whole lot of very complex NWO headaches for mastery of basic survival skills, which won't be easy.
Preppers and Survivalists will certainly be ahead of the game.
But with all the toxins that the cataclysms will be releasing into the environment at large (just for one, think of radioactive waste from nuclear plants) basic survival skills may not be enough.


... or perhaps Ben Davidson, over at Suspicious Observers (https://suspicious0bservers.org), is right, and we are soon due for another catastrophic shift, by about 90 degrees, of the earth's crust, over a sudden, few days time. If such happens, then human civilization would (once again?) be shifted back to a time of a handful of lucky survivors, starting all over again.

This rather "unique" website, https://amallulla.org, also agrees that we're coming up on "The Big One", in our life time (well, some of the vaxxed might leave sooner).

I've just started listening to this, but since I've been a big Jim Willie fan for many years, I'm sure I'll be listening all the way through.

JIM WILLIE ; DEATH OF PETRODOLLAR Jean-Claude@BeyondMystic
bSZ0axAAnkU

Jim Willie, the Golden Jackass, understands the Petro-Dollar, and its demise, which is in progress now.

We're seeing the Death of the Petro-Dollar (detailed here), and the rise of the next world monetary system. What that new system will be is a topic of very considerable controversy.

=== ===

P.S. -- Well, that was a quick listen. Listening to Jim Willie can be like revisiting a cheap brand of whisky that you enjoyed in your younger, poorer years. I doubt that most readers of this post of mine will want to listen to this Jim Willie video, but that's for the reader to decide, not me.

So here's my summary of what Jim Willie said, to save you the time listening, if like any sane person, you find Jim difficult to listen to.

Jim does have solid information here on what's happening with the silver market, the Russian world-class S-X00 missile market, the Saudi's moving from the U.S. orbit to the Russian orbit, and some bankers who have gotten very wealthy in the gold-silver-oil-dollar markets in the last few decades, but who are now facing harsh justice for their deeply corrupt business practices. This (I speculate, reading between Jim's lines) includes some members of the Rothschild and Rockefeller families, members of some other very wealthy families in Europe, and some who reside in the Vatican.

The post-reset world is still a very difficult, or at least delicate, topic. But some of the crooked winners in the era of the petro-gold-silver-dollar markets of the last decades will not be participating. They may be facing death (by cruel and ugly means, if they cross the Russians), asset forfeiture, or prison.

The world's energy systems will be changing. Oil will no longer be the critical resource. Silver will be a critical resource, and the world's richest silver mines are in Mexico, down through the Andes Mountains in Chile and Peru, and in Russia. So Russia, as the world's largest provider of oil now, as a major supplier of silver in the future, and as provider of the world's finest weapons now, will likely do well.

This energy shift will effect the world's energy market like the change from horse and buggy, to internal combustion engine, effected the personal transportation business in the early 1900's.

The price suppression of silver for the last 30 years has been done not just by (illegal) naked short selling, but also by forcing India and the Vatican to cough up some of their large hoards of silver. Expect silver to go from twenty-something US dollars to $US 30 soon, like this year 2021, then perhaps a month later to $US 50, then another month later to $US 100, then $US 200, then much higher.

I've been hearing for at least a couple of years now, from each of the several analysts I follow, that silver will end up somewhere between $400 and $800, with gold priced perhaps 20 to 30 times higher, instead of the 75 times that it is now, or the 100 that it was early in 2021. There are immense quantities of derivatives in dark pools, like tens of trillions of dollars worth, that will fail causing the collapse of some major Western financial institutions, unless this silver price rise occurs, when they expect it.

[ThePythonicCow]

Another commentator with a "unique" style and a long ttrack record, Benjamin Fulford, is also heralding the coming collapse of the $US Petro-Dollar and the Rothschild-Rockefeller dominance, in the coming months.

Here's Fulford's weekly commentary, for those who find his style worth reading:

[ThePythonicCow]

I doubt that most readers of this post of mine will want to listen to this Jim Willie video, but that's for the reader to decide, not me.

Ah - I now see why this particular Jim Willie was more difficult to listen to than usual for his videos and his subscription Hat Trick newsletter.

This video was on Youtube, so Willie was censoring himself, to avoid being censored once again on Youtube. Unfortunately for those not used to listening to him, Willie censors himself by replacing useful content with abrasive rants on his personal situation.

Jim Willie made another video, that is Pay-per-View (just $2.99), on Jean-Claude's Beyond Mystic private website (https://www.beyondmystic.net) in which he spoke more easily and openly, albeit in his usual abrasive, take no BS style. In this other video, he went into more detail on several topics, such as the history, impact, and current unraveling of the heroin trade.

Afghanistan was being used by the CIA, with protection from the US Military, to source nearly a trillion dollars a year of heroin. This was the primary source of funding for the CIA.

The American withdrawal from Afghanistan marks, under the covers, the forced collapse, by the white hats, of this heroin traffic. This parallels other unravelings of the deep state, such as Saudi Arabia's switching from the U.S. Military to the Russian military, for their protection. I've noted that switch in other posts, above.

Jim Willie is also quite certain, from various reliable sources and from his usual astute financial analysis, that some key people, such as some major state and federal politicians and executives in Washington DC, some "red" states, Big Tech social media, Big Pharma, and the "main stream" news media, have been replaced, in the interim, by doubles who are actually exposing the dastardly deeds of the deep state that have been ongoing at least since World War II, and in other forms for much, much longer. The doubles are exposing these evils by sometimes acting in deliberately outrageous ways, to help poke more ordinary people into realizing how evil those "leaders" are.

The CIA and US Military controlled deep state are being taken down. The American Empire, and its Petro-Dollar "world reserve currency", are dying. Of that I am increasingly certain.

Jim Willie has been one of my most reliable sources for over a decade. When he has the sorts of detail and insight that he has had, for this decline and fall of the American Empire, as the most recent manifestation of the Deep State that has ruled over human civilization for millenia, I find it strongly credible, and fitting with what else I've seen.

Bottom line: This is an epoch global war, one for the ages. We're winning. But war is hell, as it usually is. The battle ground for this war is not some far off (for us Americans, since our Civil War) killing field. The battle ground is in the hearts, minds, lives and spirit of humanity. Many (though not all) of our "normie" friends, family, and neighbors are in for some serious awakening, soon. The populations in some other nations, such as in Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia, are all ready realizing this.

[Review of Stephen Kinzer, Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control (New York: Henry Holt and Company, 2019)] (https://mises.org/wire/mkultra-and-cias-war-human-mind)

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has a fearsome reputation. The author and executor of countless coups and political assassinations, the CIA is notorious for waterboarding, “extraordinary rendition,” regime change, kidnapping, narcotics smuggling, financing of guerrilla wars, and many other unsavory activities around the world, including against Americans, even inside the United States.

But “fearsome” does not mean “flawless.” The CIA has failed at least as often as it has succeeded, and sometimes the failures are so flagrant—such as sending thousands of anticommunist guerrilla fighters behind enemy lines in Korea, Eastern Europe, China, and Southeast Asia during the Cold War, where nearly all of them died—that CIA insiders wryly refer to their organization as “Clowns In Action.”

Which is it? Is the CIA a dastardly menace or a hotbed of horrible mistakes? If Stephen Kinzer’s new book, Poisoner in Chief, is any indication, the answer is both.

A veteran reporter on foreign conflicts such as those in Rwanda, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Iran, Kinzer is a former New York Times correspondent and, most famously, the author of the 2006 bestseller Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq. In his latest effort he brings his analytical skills to bear on perhaps the most disturbing CIA project of them all: MKULTRA, the top-secret, long-running effort to find a method for controlling the human mind.

“History’s most systematic search for techniques of mind control,” Kinzer writes, was a by-product of World War II. At the end of 1942, a University of Wisconsin bacteriologist named Ira Baldwin—“America’s first bio-warrior” and a part-time Quaker preacher—was loaned to Washington (with the blessing of the University of Wisconsin president) in order to set up and run a bioweapons program for the United States military (p. 16). Based out of Camp Detrick in Maryland, the Baldwin lab cranked out bioweapons for possible use against Allied enemies. In one of Baldwin’s bigger projects, shipment of tons of anthrax spores, ordered by Winston Churchill for potential use against the Nazis, was approved by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and almost ready for delivery when the Germans surrendered on May 7, 1945 (p. 19).

For many, even for Quaker preachers, World War II cleared away the last of the psychological hurdles against unleashing bioweapons against an enemy. Kinzer’s book tells the tale of how the targeting of unsuspecting populations was later justified by the bigger war, the Cold War, which followed the demise of the Third Reich.

The ruined Third Reich provided much of the original brainpower for MKULTRA. Immediately after World War II, the CIA—formed out of the Office of War Information in 1945—was faced with a choice. The Germans and the Japanese had been conducting advanced experiments on germ warfare and other forms of biological weaponry. Should the Allies prosecute as war criminals the scientists involved with such projects, or hire them as expert advisors? With the Cold War starting and the Soviets looming as an unpredictable enemy, the CIA, with the tacit approval of the few members of the United States Congress who were allowed to know even the existence of the Central Intelligence Agency, decided to make use of the bioweapon expertise of erstwhile foes in order to counter the new adversary in Moscow.

For example, Kurt Blome, the Nazis’ director of biowarfare research and development whose work had been championed by Heinrich Himmler, was acquitted, by American political fiat, at the Doctors’ Trial in Nuremberg in 1947 and sent to work—as part of Operation Paperclip designed mainly to bring German rocket scientists to the US—at Camp Detrick (pp. 20–24).

It was at Camp Detrick that Blome encountered a rising star in the CIA, Sidney Gottlieb. Gottlieb, a bacteriological specialist who had been a star student of Ira Baldwin’s at Wisconsin, is the main figure in Kinzer’s book. His career is virtually synonymous with MKULTRA. Under the direction of Gottlieb, the CIA’s laboratories at Camp Detrick transitioned from R&D on bioweapons—often using unwitting American subjects, such as in 1950 when a US Navy minesweeper “specially equipped with large aerosol hoses” spent six days spraying the Serratia marcescens bacterium into the San Francisco fog, infecting some eight hundred thousand people (pp. 37–38)—to drugs which could be used for mind control. (MKNAOMI, MKULTRA’s sister CIA project, was also tasked with finding poisons and biotoxins which the CIA and the US government could use in various operations.) Gottlieb provided the big ideas into which to fit Blome’s nefarious knowledge of mass murder by bacillus. Gottlieb became, virtually overnight and with the help of former Nazi doctors, America’s “poisoner in chief.”

The CIA’s mind control program, which was assuming a bigger and bigger importance as fears of Soviet brainwashing grew in the US, was originally called Operation Bluebird and was personally overseen by CIA higher-up Allen Dulles. (47) At first, the Bluebird team experimented with “hypnosis, electroshock, and sensory deprivation,” along with drugs like sodium amytal, at CIA sites in “secret prisons in Germany and Japan,” looking for a way to extract information out of POWs and captured spies (pp. 44, 48–49). But Dulles was unsatisfied with the results and decided to give the young CIA recruit Sidney Gottlieb control of Bluebird’s updated iteration: Operation Artichoke (pp. 51–52). The goal of Artichoke was to do whatever it took to get prisoners to divulge military and state secrets to the CIA. The Cold War would brook nothing short of full-scale war against the human mind.

Dulles became deputy director of central intelligence three days after launching Artichoke in 1951, and Gottlieb, invisible to the outside world, was given virtually unlimited rein to carry out any experiments thought necessary to achieve mind control (p. 51). This drive to achieve total operational control over the human psyche eclipsed all reality and tactical limitation. If the US didn’t win the race to the mind control method, many in the CIA thought, the entire American population lay vulnerable to mental enslavement by the Soviets. Dulles, Kinzer writes, despite a disastrously unsuccessful three-year “Artichoke” attack on a Bulgarian political prisoner named Dmitri Dimitrov, “had convinced himself not only that mind control techniques exist but that Communists had discovered them, and that this posed a mortal threat to the rest of the world” (pp. 52–53).

Mind control was the pressing need, but nothing brought it within reach. Technique after technique, drug after drug, was tried on prisoners, but to no avail. In frustration, Artichoke agents under Gottlieb upped the ante, turning to marijuana, cocaine, and then heroin as possible catalysts of CIA-directed, anti-Soviet brainwashing. As part of Artichoke, a University of Rochester psychology professor was given a grant by the US Navy to test heroin on his students. The control of the mind remained as elusive as ever, despite the massive dosing of the Rochester student population with opiates. Nothing seemed to have the potential to crack open the mind for the CIA (p. 59).

Someone in Artichoke suggested using mescaline after the other narcotics failed, and this gave Sidney Gottlieb an idea. He remembered hearing about a drug called LSD which Dr. Albert Hofmann had discovered during an experiment at Sandoz laboratories in Basel, Switzerland, in 1943. Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), an ergot enzyme, produced extraordinary and disturbing psychological effects, Dr. Hofmann found when he ingested some and recorded the drug’s effects. Washington learned of Hofmann’s discovery in 1949, and one of the chemical specialists in the US military complex told Gottlieb of the new substance (pp. 34–35) In 1951, Gottlieb asked Harold Abramson, who had been a physician in the Chemical Warfare Service during World War II, to administer LSD to him. Gottlieb experienced the same psychedelic state as Dr. Hofmann had described. Other subjects were tested, as well, not all of them wittingly, and all seemed to exhibit similar reactions. LSD most definitely altered the mind (pp. 60–61). Gottlieb was convinced that he had found the magical drug which would allow the CIA to control the psyche, and therefore to beat the Soviets at (what Allen Dulles, Gottlieb, and many others at CIA thought, at least, was) the Soviets’ own game.

The experiments on human subjects followed rapidly after Gottlieb’s conversion to belief in the powers of LSD. These experiments often ended in death, often by murder. One study quoted by Kinzer reports that

in 1951 a team of CIA scientists led by Dr. Gottlieb flew to Tokyo….Four Japanese suspected of working for the Russians were secretly brought to a location where the CIA doctors injected them with a variety of depressants and stimulants….Under relentless questioning, they confessed to working for the Russians. They were taken out into Tokyo Bay, shot and dumped overboard. (p. 64)

The CIA carried out similar experimentation and executions in Korea and Germany (p. 64). Gottlieb was usually personally involved.

Throughout the 1950s the experimentation continued. An American artist named Stanley Glickman was lured to a bar near his studio in Paris by CIA agents in 1951 and a chemical was slipped into his drink. Glickman began to hallucinate wildly. He fled in a state of panic and remained in his Paris apartment for the next ten months in paranoid hiding until his family came to take him home, and then he spent the rest of his life as a near invalid. The chemical which the CIA had slipped into Glickman’s drink was almost certainly LSD, and Glickman, Kinzer suggests, had been chosen by the CIA because he had just recovered from hepatitis and the Artichoke team was conducting an experiment on the effects of hepatic infection on the efficacy of LSD (pp. 66–67)

Things got worse from there. In 1952, the CIA commissioned underworld denizen and former vice cop George Hunter White to run a human-subjects experiment site at 81 Bedford Street in Greenwich Village, New York (pp. 74–75). White’s job was to bring to the CIA’s apartment “expendables” on whom Gottlieb and his team could test LSD. White “knew the whores, the pimps, the people who brought in the drugs,” as one of Gottlieb’s MKULTRA colleagues later explained, and this made him invaluable for procuring the “drug users, petty criminals, and others who could be relied upon not to complain about what had happened to them” when the CIA’s experiments were finished (pp. 76–77). Many of these “expendables” suffered nervous breakdowns, and some died.

In order to keep the supply of LSD flowing, CIA agents went to Basel, where LSD had been discovered, and tried to buy all the LSD in stock. Allen Dulles authorized a $240,000 outlay to pay for it (p. 86). Sandoz held the patent for Hofmann’s 1943 discovery, but Sandoz wanted nothing to do with the troublesome substance and so Gottlieb, freed of any need to scruple over IP infringement, tasked US pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly with making LSD in the States (pp. 85–86) With their mind control serum in production, MKULTRA agents could focus on how to dose experimental subjects. The CIA even hired a professional magician, John Mulholland, to teach Gottlieb and his agents how to deliver LSD into unsuspecting subjects’ drinks and food without being detected (pp. 89–94)

Gottlieb recruited a Kentucky addiction specialist, Dr. Harry Isbell, to test LSD and new mind-altering drugs on prisoners and patients. More lives were destroyed (pp. 94–96). Among the victims of another of Gottlieb’s agent-doctors was none other than James “Whitey” Bulger, the mafioso who, along with “nineteen other inmates” at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, beginning in 1957 “was given LSD nearly every day for fifteen months, without being told what it was” (pp. 98–99). Bulger was plagued for the rest of his life with nightmares, suicidal thoughts, and “deep depression” (p. 98). Bulger, who had been told that he was taking part in experiments designed to find a cure for schizophrenia, did not learn the truth about what had happened until 1979 (pp. 263–64).

The human toll of Gottlieb’s MKULTRA experiments continued to mount. One of Gottlieb’s closest associates in the project, Frank Olson—a bacteriologist trained at the University of Wisconsin who had also been recruited for the CIA by Gottlieb’s mentor Ira Baldwin—began to express doubts about what the MKULTRA team was doing. He told his wife that he had made a “terrible mistake” in his work (p. 114). He shared his misgivings with his CIA colleagues as well. Olson’s conscience appeared to be getting the better of him, and he became a liability to the team.

In late 1953, Gottlieb surreptitiously dosed Olson with LSD at a backwoods MKULTRA gathering, “Deep Creek Rendezvous,” outside Camp Detrick (p. 113). Olson spiraled into a frightening disorientation, and early in the morning on November 28, 1953—a few days after Thanksgiving—Olson “fell or jumped” from a window of the Statler Hotel in Manhattan, dying few moments after hitting the concrete below. Another MKULTRA agent, Gottlieb’s lieutenant Robert Lashbrook, was the only other person in the room when Olson “fell or jumped” (pp. 120–21). Lashbrook told the New York City police that Olson had jumped out of the window and Olson’s death was originally designated a suicide, but the Olson family eventually grew suspicious and an investigation was carried out, including a new autopsy on Olson’s body. The forensic pathologist, after a month’s examination of the corpse, declared: “I think Frank Olson was intentionally, deliberately, with malice aforethought, thrown out of that window” (p. 250). Wounds on Olson’s body were consistent with methods taught in CIA manuals for incapacitating people and then killing them in order to make their deaths look self-inflicted.

Gottlieb and MKULTRA were shaken by Olson’s demise, but they carried on with their work. They spent the next few years looking for magic mushrooms in Mexico (157); arranging suicide capsules for American agents, including U-2 pilot Gary Powers (who chose not to use his when he was shot down over the Soviet Union) (pp. 172–75); attempting, at the order of then attorney general Robert Kennedy, to assassinate Cuban dictator Fidel Castro (after exploding cigars and exploding conch shells were ruled out, Gottlieb tried with a wetsuit laced with fungi and bacteria) (p. 184); and hooking Allen Ginsberg and other radicals on LSD (pp. 188–90). Gottlieb personally delivered to the American embassy in Leopoldville in the Congo poisons that Gottlieb had developed to assassinate Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, but the Belgians and the Africans beat the CIA to it (pp. 176–80).

Gottlieb’s career brought ruin and suffering to untold numbers of people, many of them innocent. He retired from the CIA in 1973 after receiving the Distinguished Intelligence Medal (p. 211). Lifelong devotees of folk dance, Gottlieb and his wife, Margaret, moved to the countryside in rural Virginia and attempted to blend in with the small community there, volunteering, dancing, and experimenting with radical ecology. However, “investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, who had won a Pulitzer Prize for exposing the My Lai massacre in Vietnam,” learned of the MH-CHAOS program targeting Americans, and the Congress was forced to act. Gottlieb’s career, long a well-kept secret, was being brought into the open, and his retirement would therefore be far from peaceful.

But there were still many who tried to cover up what Gottlieb and the other MKULTRA agents had done. In 1975, after the outcry caused by the Hersh reporting, President Gerald Ford deputized Vice President Nelson Rockefeller to chair a commission on the CIA. The new CIA director, William Colby, was remarkably frank. Colby informed the Rockefeller Commission that “the CIA had conducted LSD experiments that resulted in deaths. Later he referred to assassination plots” (p. 216). Nelson Rockefeller, attempting to prevent the CIA director from revealing too much, buttonholed Colby later: “Bill, do you really have to present all this material to us?” (p. 216).

In 1977, in the wake of the Church Report on further American intelligence excesses, Senator Edward Kennedy, Robert’s brother, spurred on by some documents which had been discovered as the result of a FOIA request (Gottlieb had ordered all MKULTRA files burned, but some undetected copies remained), called Admiral Stansfield Turner to testify before Congress on MKULTRA. The walls were closing in. Gottlieb himself was eventually forced to testify—albeit in a closed-room setting his lawyer had helped arrange—but Gottlieb essentially pleaded amnesia (nearly all of his answers to questions about MKULTRA were some version of “I do not recall”) and the matter seemed to end there.

Still, the skeletons in Gottlieb’s closet would not go away. In 1984 Gottlieb agreed to meet with the family of Frank Olson, the former MKULTRA colleague who had “fallen or jumped” from his Manhattan hotel room in 1953. Eric Olson, Frank Olson’s son, was unconvinced by Gottlieb’s explanation for the “accident,” and, after Frank Olson’s widow and Eric’s mother passed away, ordered Frank’s body exhumed in 1994. As information about MKULTRA built in the public’s awareness, other cases were reopened, including that of Stanley Glickman. (257) The courts were now involved and Gottlieb could not count on the CIA to get him out of his legal trouble. Gottlieb pushed back the trial for Glickman’s murder as long as he could, and then, in early March, 1999, Sidney Gottlieb died.

Like Frank Olson, it was not officially revealed whether or not the death had been a suicide (p. 259).

Stephen Kinzer’s Poisoner in Chief is a highly readable, thoroughly researched introduction to the life and work of one of America’s most unknown, and yet infamous, government agents. Kinzer is to be thanked for his plainspoken, courageous book. Even those who have studied the CIA and the various schemes and crimes which “the Agency” has committed over the past seventy-five years will be surprised by some of the information Kinzer relates. To see in one volume a rendering of just some of the lives ruined by just one CIA program, MKULTRA, is a sobering revelation.

Sidney Gottlieb, the person directly responsible for much, if not most, of the MKULTRA devastation over more than twenty years, remains as mysterious at the end of Kinzer’s volume as at the beginning, however. By all accounts Gottlieb was a good student from a stable family. Kinzer speculates that perhaps Gottlieb’s having been rejected for military service in World War II—Gottlieb stuttered and had a clubfoot—left him unsatisfied and impatient to prove his patriotism, an urgent task for the son of immigrant Jews (p. 50). Gottlieb was heavily involved in New Age mysticism and meditation and appears to have expended considerable energy psychologically compartmentalizing his “work,” so there are indications that he was aware that the experiments he and his MKULTRA team were carrying out were, at best, unethical, and objectively speaking often outright crimes.

But Gottlieb was hardly alone in his endeavors, and the explanation that Gottlieb, Allen Dulles, and many others in the CIA gave—to themselves and to each other, and to the world around when pressed—makes the most sense. They had a country to defend, they faced an enemy of unprecedented cruelty in the Soviet Union, and they were willing to do whatever it took, even sacrificing innocent people, to keep Americans as a whole from falling under the spell of communist mind control.

Susan Bradford seems to have done some excellent digging into the history, over centuries, of the "Evil Bastards" on this planet.

Sarah Westall has this new interview with her. The substance of the interview starts shortly after the 11 minute mark.

[ThePythonicCow]

Susan Bradford seems to be quite perceptive as to how the deep state works, who they really are and whom they have been in recent centuries.

I've added her many books and occasional Youtube, Brighteon, Bitchute and Odyssey appearances (those that haven't already been censored) to my every growing list of material to check out.

Her websites lists her books: http://www.susanbradford.org
You can also follow her on Gab at https://gab.com/susanbradford

I intended this particular Avalon thread to focus more on the present and coming decades, so won't go into her work further here, except perhaps if I notice something further in that vein.

However, as can be seen even from my comments earlier in this thread, an understanding of the present and future cannot be separated from the past. As George Santayana wrote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Happy Researching!

We return now to my (ir)regularly (un)scheduled commentary on this thread.

[ThePythonicCow]

The above essay inspires me to predict the following crises:


Congress will fail to pass a budget and raise or continue to suspend the Federal Debt Ceiling Limit, by the deadline this Fall of 2021, forcing the US Federal Government into financial crisis. The U.S. Credit Rating will be lowered from AAA as a result. The Fed will come to the rescue.


Looks like the first of my above predictions (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?116122-The-Money-Masters-Crises-of-war-plague-and-hunger-Total-central-real-time-control-of-all-money.&p=1448626&viewfull=1#post1448626) is on track:

From Debt Ceiling, Government Shutdown Could Derail $3.5 Trillion Spending Package (PJ Media) (https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2021/09/02/debt-ceiling-government-shutdown-could-derail-3-5-trillion-spending-package-n1475379):


The Democrats may have bitten off more than they can chew in trying to ram through a $3.5 trillion partisan spending measure before the end of the month. Their problem rests with the fact that they are going to be very busy in September passing a bill to raise the debt ceiling while also passing a temporary spending measure to keep the government going after September 30.

Indeed, the Treasury Department can cook the books and move decimal points around for a couple of months, but inevitably Congress is going to have to pass a budget. How long the money would last is an open question, but word on the Hill is that the Democrats will try for a short-term funding bill that would last until about Christmas.

The future of our monetary system.

For a couple of thousand years (give or take), gold and silver had been "real money". They were an easily transferable, easily recognized, generic form of value that could be used in exchange for specific material goods and labor. These metals were "precious" in part because they were limited in supply. Their supply could only be extended by the expenditure of considerable resources and labor, which the already wealthy and powerful could best command.

Especially since the rise of the Phoenician/Jesuit backed Rothschild's, a couple of centuries ago (give or take), debt, issued by the Money Masters, has been replacing gold and silver. The quantity of debt money is more easily expandable, but the Money Masters remained in control, by basing their debt money on the same "precious" metals.

Then in the last century, especially with the rise of the Rockefellers, the Money Masters loosened the connection of debt money from underlying gold and silver, by 1971 they had completely tied their debt money to the most critical energy source of the last half of the twentieth century, petroleum. The Money Masters still controlled this, since they controlled the world's dominant military, which they used to enforce the petroleum basis of their debt money (by Nixon and Kissinger running a protection racket on the King of Saudi Arabia.)

Now, that basis too is collapsing, as the US Military retreats in disgrace, as the lead OPEC nation, Saudi Arabia shifts from the United States to Russia for military protection, and, more importantly, as petroleum reserves are declining and technology is coming public to restructure the energy infrastructure of our civilization.

At the same time the primary technical means of exchanging "generic wealth" (money, whatever form it took) has been once again shifting. In the late 1800's, and early 1900's, the exchange of monetary value shifted from the purely physical exchange of coins (in the times of gold and silver dominance) to bills (in the times of debt money dominance). These bills claimed a gold and silver backing, but those claims have become increasingly fraudulent.

=== ===

We are in another great shift.

The means of exchanging "generic wealth" is moving to the Internet, in the form of encrypted datagrams. Our primary means, in many cases, of other communications and information sharing has already been shifting the same way, especially since learning and working has, where it could, also been moving to the Internet (such as my sending of this very post).

Once it was coin, then it was paper bills, and now it is becoming encrypted bits. Such a shift is necessary, as we extend the reach of our civilization out into the solar system, and the movement of any actual physical form of money becomes increasingly impractical.

=== ===

The changing bases of supreme power.

In each era, the greatest base of power was control of the largest stores of potential wealth, which provided the basis for controlling where future efforts were focused.

Ancient Kings, then Presidents and Prime Ministers, and now Central Banks (as the primary source of debt money) could control their store houses of grains, then of precious metals, and then of debt creation, to direct the efforts of their subjects, whether to building great monuments to their esteemed selves, to conducting wars and explorations to gain control of more lands, to develop new technologies to increase the productivity of their people (or the lethality of their armies), or to educate and improve the health and skills of their people.

By tying the issuance of debt (especially US Treasury debt) to the petroleum supply in the early 1970's, the US Federal Reserve lay the foundation for a half century of not just American military dominance, but also of American monetary dominance.

=== ===

We are now engaged in a Great War, tearing down the old systems.

The "Climate Change" meme is being used to leverage the destruction and abandonment of the petroleum based economy, and replace it with an electrical based economy that depends on silver and rare metals with special electrical and magnetic properties. The toxic food, drugs and bioweapons are being used to stress the system, forcing people to work and shop from home, forcing control of ostensibly democratic elections, and other such. The corrupt education, news and entertainment industries are being used to corrupt and control the minds, bodies and souls of the masses, so that they can be forced through this transition, or removed if they won't go or won't be needed. Thus is the way of War.

Meanwhile the organizations ostensibly led by such hyper-enriched icons as Musk, Bezos and whoever heads Google are building the new systems.

Clearly enough, these new systems involve electrical power, rather than petroleum power, and involve digital storage, transmission, and transactions, rather than paper storage and their later twentieth century analog of corporate databases on mainframe computers. Distributed "secure" digital systems will form the fabric of our forth coming civilization.

The primary long term store of wealth had been vaulted gold, and then became petroleum reserves in the ground. What will this primary store of wealth become, that distinguishes the most powerful?

The primary more liquid monetary equivalent had been minted coins, and then became "bank reserves" (the authority to issue more debt).

=== ===

What will these long term stores, and their more liquid monetary equivalent, become? Whomever knows this and determines this would expect to become the new (or same old, reconstituted) Money Masters.

Perhaps their more liquid equivalent will be the pile of crypto currencies that major institutions are now starting to stake.

Crypto-currencies are shifting from Proof of Work, to Proof of Stake.

In the first ten years of cryptos, whoever had the biggest warehouse full of graphics cards (to the considerable dismay of gamers trying to build their next gaming computer, unable to get a good graphics card for a competitive price) had the biggest voice in determining what would be in the next block of data to be Bitcoin blockchain.

This is shifting, as I speak (er, eh, type).

Ethereum and other major cryptos that have any intention of supporting a high volume crypto transactions are shifting to Proof of Stake. Whoever has the biggest stash of such a crypto will have the biggest voice in what goes next onto that blockchain, and more over, in how that block chain is governed.

Proof of Stake was not practical in the first decade, because there was not enough crypto in circulation to provide a sufficient stake. Proof of Work was required, because a lot of work needed to be done, "priming the pump" as it were. This is now naturally and necessarily shifting.

Now major financial and investing institutions are staking (buying up) huge amounts of crypto, which has been a major impetus behind the most recent bull runs in crypto this year, 2021.

There is now on the order of a $US Trillion worth staked (give or take), and we seem to be on track to have tens or hundreds of Trillions worth (in 2021 equivalent $US valuations) in the next few years.

That stash of crypto will become the single biggest store of "future wealth", that, like the grain vaults, gold vaults, and petroleum reserves of old, can be invested in whatever "future projects" the most powerful choose, be that wars, technology, monuments, exploration or the well being of their people.

We are now engaged in a Great War, tearing down the petro-dollar, debt money based era that ended in the dominance of the American Empire. (Even the petro-based pharmaceutical and agriculture industries are facing grave stress that I expect will lead to their collapse.)

=== ===

What will come next?

Our coming civilization will, it seems clear, use electrical energy. It will, it seems clear, mine the remaining rare earth resources on the surface of this planet (such as in Afghanistan), and endeavor, at "warp speed" to begin mining asteroids and other nearby celestial orbs.

Will the Money Masters of the last couple millenia once again be able to pull off a Hat Trick and bind this new world to some debt money system they control?

Or will other more enlightened ("more" is a rather low bar here) humans institute a more humane governance and control of the huge stash of cryptos now, and in the next few years, being staked?

=== ===

P.S. -- I also expect that, as part of this shift, the "debt markets", including current world currencies, bonds, stocks and debt financed markets such as real estate, will collapse. Thus the crypto stakes will further increase their hold as our civilization's primary store of "investable" wealth.

P.P.S -- Hurricane Ida knocked out some "16 to 20% of the nation's entire oil supply" as reported at Port Fourchon - major oil and gas hub - still in 'Recovery Phase' after a direct hit by Ida, causing gas prices to rise, U.S. (https://watchers.news/2021/09/05/port-fourchon-shut-down-after-direct-hit-hurricane-ida-august-2021/).

[ThePythonicCow]

Thus the crypto stakes will further increase their hold as our civilization's primary store of "investable" wealth.

Oops - except perhaps in so far as those stakes are held in debt based assets :bigsmile:

Then I'm confused as to what that will mean for them :noidea:

Please someone who is on Project Camelot New Website/videos go to this video "Kimberly Ann Go Guen, * Council, Trump and Who Runs the World." This videos has finally answered my question about What Side is Trump on and where is this all going. The answer was lurking in my subconscious, but I could hardly believe it. There are two sides, The Black Sun (Nazis, Trump, former Kennedy family) and the second is the San Hedrin(?) and Rothschild Family. It is only a matter of which side RULES the other. We are their CATTLE. They have GUTTED ALL OUR MONEY and so must now KILL US OFF TO CANCEL THE DEBT. This is the real reason for the PLANDEMIC DEATH SHOTS. The video continues on to tell us both sides are BLACK and EVIL. They groomed Trump and took back the promise from him. He has Cancer (probably the galloping kind they give to people). He had a facelift, which is probably when they did it, but not necessarily. My opinion is that the stories on the internet about various of these evil people having been murdered at Gitmo is false. They are all likely still around in their palaces awaiting OUR EXECUTIONS to free the debts they owe us.

About the GOLD given by various parties to pay the debts of the countries owed to other countries, treated elsewhere on Avalon and Camelot, etc., the video states it has all DISAPPEARED AGAIN UNDERGROUND. HOW CUTE! Please, someone who is better at this than I am, please research and amplify.

[ThePythonicCow]

Looking back up a couple posts, to my Post #41 (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?116122-The-Money-Masters-Crises-of-war-plague-and-hunger-Total-central-real-time-control-of-all-money.&p=1450272&viewfull=1#post1450272) at the top of this page, I will confess to still being pleased with it.

That post has substantial content on the history, present state, and potential future of our civilization's monetary system.

I look forward to insights and comments from others on this topic. Hopefully posts 43 and 44 will not derail this thread.

In short, I think that the world's financial system is going through another change in how wealth is stored and transferred, and that our energy system is going through a change from using petroleum as both our primary energy source and as our primary means of storing and transporting energy. We are also moving away from using petroleum derived products as our primary medicinals and agricultural stimulants (aka glyphosate).

We are moving toward systems using the distributed blockchains (or similar data structures) to store wealth and the Internet to transfer wealth and conduct payments.

We are moving towards an energy system on the earth's surface that uses electrical (batteries and such) as our primary energy store and that uses the electrical grid as the primary means of transporting that energy. I suspect that our primary energy source(s) will involve technologies that are not widely public yet, but I don't speculate further on that here. Similarly, I would speculate that our primary medicinals and agriculture will transition to new technologies, not yet widely known publicly.

A key question in my mind is whether we will move away from using credit, controlled by the Money Masters, as the primary way of funding future investments.

I speculate that with the shift from Proof of Work cryptocurrencies, to Proof of Stake cryptocurrencies, we may be seeing the build out of a fundamental alternative to Money Master debt issuance for funding investments (whether that be a college education, a home, a factory, research and development, or conducting another war.)

I am concerned that the recent aggressive uptake in attempts by existing mainline financial regulatory agencies to control cryptocurrencies manifest an effort by the long standing Money Masters to wrest control of staked cryptocurrencies away from the upstarts and use it as they have used control of national gold vaults to gain control over our investments, using, once again, their favorite tool, debt/credit.

[ThePythonicCow]

I am concerned that the recent aggressive uptake in attempts by existing mainline financial regulatory agencies to control cryptocurrencies manifest an effort by the long standing Money Masters to wrest control ...

I may be woefully underestimating the Money Masters.

Back in the day, say the 1990's, when Linux was not well enough developed to serve most of my home PC uses at the time (finances, tax preparation, games, documents, ...), and when my employer sometimes needed their Unix (my long term speciality) computer products to interoperate with other computers, I was a skilled user of, and sometimes developer in, the DOS and Windows software of Microsoft. I am grateful that I no longer have much to do with that software.

I mention that because the current tactics of various banking and regulatory agencies and institutions reminds me of a tactic of Bill Gates and Microsoft that was infamous at the time: Embrace, extend, and extinguish (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/embrace-extend-extinguish-colby-cyr).

To this day, I retain some bitterness over Microsoft's destruction of such geeky charms as:

Stac's Stacker disk compression software,
Quarterdeck's Expanded Memory Manager QEMM, and
Lotus's innovative spreadsheet Improv.

In a similar manner, on a grander scale, the Money Master's continue to control the world's monetary system.

(Though, when such leaders as Libya's Muammar Gaddafi successfully resist the Embrace, the Money Masters sometimes go directly to the Extinguish step, as John Perkins, the Economic Hit Man, has explained to us.)

Through the (now sunsetting) era of US Military, Intelligence, and PetroDollar Dominance, the Money Masters maintained control of:

the exchange rates between Dollar, Euro, Yen, and Yuan currencies,
the currencies required to buy and sell petroleum,
the terms and currencies of World Bank loans and repayments,
the world's largest financial markets in New York, and
for uncooperative renegades, the US Military.

If you wanted to play ball on the world's monetary stage, you had to play it on terms set by the Money Masters.

The Protection Racket imposed on Saudi Arabia in 1971 by Nixon and Kissinger was but one of many examples of Money Master dominance.

Unless there are larger forces at play, beneath the surface, that fundamentally change the game, we'll be seeing the Money Masters continue to Embrace, Extend and Extinguish independent competition one more time.

Not only will they (as I forecast in my previous post) control the investment of the large crypto reserves staked by major institutions, in Proof of Stake cryptocurrencies, in order to get a seat at the table, but we'll also see

increased regulatory efforts to bring wildcat cryptocurrency operations under their control,
yet more Know Your Customer (KYC) enforcement, to ensure that even if a wildcat customer has a little fun directly on the blockchains, such as with Uniswap (https://youtu.be/YHNNt4auSnk),they can't move any serious wealth on or off the blockchain without "playing by the rules" (or being a big whale, exempt from the rules),
the exposure (and doubtless sometimes creation) of outrageous criminal activity involving cryptocurrency, to justify in the public's view more stringent regulation, and
the capture of major markets (as with the capture of petroleum by the PetroDollar) by cryptocurrencies that the Money Masters control.
No doubt I left a few things off that list :bigsmile:

All this, of course, unless there are larger forces at play ...

=== ===

The above more pessimistic outlook does however add strength to my considerations that the stakes of Proof of Stake cryptocurrencies could be a major, if not the major, pool of wealth used to control and fund investments, even replacing the issuance of debt. That would be a shift of the primary mechanism favored by the Money Masters for at least centuries, since the rise of the Rothschild's.

I started a companion thread to this thread at: World War III -- A New World Order. We've been in this war for decades. (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?116244-World-War-III-A-New-World-Order.-We-ve-been-in-this-war-for-decades.)


That new thread will focus on the geopolitical history so far, and current state of, this War.
This thread focuses on restructuring the world's monetary system, as the Petro-Dollar dies.

But the two topics are inextricably entangled.

[ThePythonicCow]

Clif High, in the following interview, just yesterday, with Greg Hunter, on USAWatchDog.com, forecasts a major financial institution collapse, in the coming weeks:


Deep State Deception Tricks Us into Thinking They’re Winning – Clif High (https://usawatchdog.com/deep-state-deception-tricks-us-into-thinking-theyre-winning-clif-high/)

We're winning. The "normies" are about to get a major wake-up call.

From this interview:

In short, large segments of the population will be waking up to all the lies and illusions that control their lives. High talks about the big die-off of people who are “fully vaccinated” and how it is them who will need to be quarantined so they do not harm the unvaccinated public. The biggest wakeup call will come soon from the economic system. High says, “These things are coming in chunks, and we are just about at the point where the chunk called the financial system will fall all apart. The big marker on that is going to be October 1, which is the end of the fiscal year for the federal government.”

I've spent much of the last few days reviewing developments in cryptocurrencies. Clif doesn't go into that much in the above. He has however been discussing cryptos for years, so he certainly knows about them, but he can't possibly cover all the entangled threads of our rebirthing civilization in one interview.

I had not understood, until this week, that cryptocurrencies, working independently of any deep state controlled centralized monetary system, could replace the debt-based fiat nationalized and centralized currencies we've been running our civilization on for the last few centuries.

I now understand that could happen and expect that.

Not only is Bitcoin on track to replace vaulted wealth such as gold, but also high volume (tens of thousands of transactions per second, world-wide) cryptos are undergoing rapid development towards replacing our central bank controlled, fiat, debt-based currencies as the primary currencies of our day to day transactions. Such cryptos as Solana, Ethereum and the Lightning Network overlaying Bitcoin, will become, for our children as Dollars, Euros, Yen and Yuan have been for us and our recent ancestors.

I think Bix Weir has it about right, in this interview that Jean-Claude uploaded yesterday, and that I already posted in the opening post of my companion thread World War III -- A New World Order. (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?116244-World-War-III-A-New-World-Order.-We-ve-been-in-this-war-for-decades.): the "Petro-Dollar" discussed above in this thread was replaced, in the 1990's, with a Dollar that is managed using quadrillions of Dollars of derivatives.

This "Derivative-Dollar" will likely collapse, like the Tower of Babel, soon, and dramatically.

I am still forecasting, as is Clif High, that the US Government will fail to pass a new budget and fail to raise, or continue suspending, the US Federal Debt limit, in the coming weeks. Perhaps China's failing Evergrande (https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/explainer-how-china-evergrandes-debt-woes-pose-a-systemic-risk-2021-07-27-0) will be another key trigger for this global, systemic, financial and monetary, collapse.

The means of exchanging "generic wealth" is moving to the Internet, in the form of encrypted datagrams. Our primary means, in many cases, of other communications and information sharing has already been shifting the same way, especially since learning and working has, where it could, also been moving to the Internet (such as my sending of this very post).

Once it was coin, then it was paper bills, and now it is becoming encrypted bits. Such a shift is necessary, as we extend the reach of our civilization out into the solar system, and the movement of any actual physical form of money becomes increasingly impractical.

=== ===

The changing bases of supreme power.

In each era, the greatest base of power was control of the largest stores of potential wealth, which provided the basis for controlling where future efforts were focused.

Ancient Kings, then Presidents and Prime Ministers, and now Central Banks (as the primary source of debt money) could control their store houses of grains, then of precious metals, and then of debt creation, to direct the efforts of their subjects, whether to building great monuments to their esteemed selves, to conducting wars and explorations to gain control of more lands, to develop new technologies to increase the productivity of their people (or the lethality of their armies), or to educate and improve the health and skills of their people.

By tying the issuance of debt (especially US Treasury debt) to the petroleum supply in the early 1970's, the US Federal Reserve lay the foundation for a half century of not just American military dominance, but also of American monetary dominance.

=== ===

We are now engaged in a Great War, tearing down the old systems.

The "Climate Change" meme is being used to leverage the destruction and abandonment of the petroleum based economy, and replace it with an electrical based economy that depends on silver and rare metals with special electrical and magnetic properties. The toxic food, drugs and bioweapons are being used to stress the system, forcing people to work and shop from home, forcing control of ostensibly democratic elections, and other such. The corrupt education, news and entertainment industries are being used to corrupt and control the minds, bodies and souls of the masses, so that they can be forced through this transition, or removed if they won't go or won't be needed. Thus is the way of War.

Meanwhile the organizations ostensibly led by such hyper-enriched icons as Musk, Bezos and whoever heads Google are building the new systems.

Clearly enough, these new systems involve electrical power, rather than petroleum power, and involve digital storage, transmission, and transactions, rather than paper storage and their later twentieth century analog of corporate databases on mainframe computers. Distributed "secure" digital systems will form the fabric of our forth coming civilization.

The primary long term store of wealth had been vaulted gold, and then became petroleum reserves in the ground. What will this primary store of wealth become, that distinguishes the most powerful?

The primary more liquid monetary equivalent had been minted coins, and then became "bank reserves" (the authority to issue more debt).

=== ===

What will these long term stores, and their more liquid monetary equivalent, become? Whomever knows this and determines this would expect to become the new (or same old, reconstituted) Money Masters.

Perhaps their more liquid equivalent will be the pile of crypto currencies that major institutions are now starting to stake.

Crypto-currencies are shifting from Proof of Work, to Proof of Stake.

In the first ten years of cryptos, whoever had the biggest warehouse full of graphics cards (to the considerable dismay of gamers trying to build their next gaming computer, unable to get a good graphics card for a competitive price) had the biggest voice in determining what would be in the next block of data to be Bitcoin blockchain.

This is shifting, as I speak (er, eh, type).

Ethereum and other major cryptos that have any intention of supporting a high volume crypto transactions are shifting to Proof of Stake. Whoever has the biggest stash of such a crypto will have the biggest voice in what goes next onto that blockchain, and more over, in how that block chain is governed.

Proof of Stake was not practical in the first decade, because there was not enough crypto in circulation to provide a sufficient stake. Proof of Work was required, because a lot of work needed to be done, "priming the pump" as it were. This is now naturally and necessarily shifting.

Now major financial and investing institutions are staking (buying up) huge amounts of crypto, which has been a major impetus behind the most recent bull runs in crypto this year, 2021.

There is now on the order of a $US Trillion worth staked (give or take), and we seem to be on track to have tens or hundreds of Trillions worth (in 2021 equivalent $US valuations) in the next few years.

That stash of crypto will become the single biggest store of "future wealth", that, like the grain vaults, gold vaults, and petroleum reserves of old, can be invested in whatever "future projects" the most powerful choose, be that wars, technology, monuments, exploration or the well being of their people.

We are now engaged in a Great War, tearing down the petro-dollar, debt money based era that ended in the dominance of the American Empire. (Even the petro-based pharmaceutical and agriculture industries are facing grave stress that I expect will lead to their collapse.)

=== ===

What will come next?

Our coming civilization will, it seems clear, use electrical energy. It will, it seems clear, mine the remaining rare earth resources on the surface of this planet (such as in Afghanistan), and endeavor, at "warp speed" to begin mining asteroids and other nearby celestial orbs.

Will the Money Masters of the last couple millenia once again be able to pull off a Hat Trick and bind this new world to some debt money system they control?

Or will other more enlightened ("more" is a rather low bar here) humans institute a more humane governance and control of the huge stash of cryptos now, and in the next few years, being staked?

=== ===

P.S. -- I also expect that, as part of this shift, the "debt markets", including current world currencies, bonds, stocks and debt financed markets such as real estate, will collapse. Thus the crypto stakes will further increase their hold as our civilization's primary store of "investable" wealth.

P.P.S -- Hurricane Ida knocked out some "16 to 20% of the nation's entire oil supply" as reported at Port Fourchon - major oil and gas hub - still in 'Recovery Phase' after a direct hit by Ida, causing gas prices to rise, U.S. (https://watchers.news/2021/09/05/port-fourchon-shut-down-after-direct-hit-hurricane-ida-august-2021/).

In line with the word "hunger" in this thread's title, here is a compilation of short videos, from farmers in the U.S. and Europe, reporting on the major shutdown of farms and destruction of crops.


Farmers being shutdown (mp4) (http://thepythoniccow.us/farmers_being_shutdown.mp4)

The Deep State is determined to impose Holodomor (the mass starvation imposed on the Ukraine by Stalin in the 1930's) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor) on the Western world.

Thanks to Jim Stone for providing this.

Enough damage has been done to the agriculture and industry of our nations that, even in the best of outcomes, we will have serious shortages in the next year or three.

Reposting this from many years ago. It's a VERY precise description of what would (or might happen) should that default occur. It was recently mentioned by Mike Adams in one of his podcasts, though he gave no reference for it.

Start in at the top of page 5. It was published by Jeff Rense in 2008, but was actually written in 2004 (hence the reference to Bush). there's every reason to believe the same protocols are in place today.

https://projectavalon.net/Protocols_For_Economic_Collapse_In_America.pdf

[ThePythonicCow]

It's a VERY precise description of what would (or might happen) should that default occur.
My hunch is that the primary advantage of precise and detailed forecasts such as this is that this makes them more easily found out as being precisely wrong :bigsmile:.

We're not dealing with a militarized Continuity of Government style of government takeover of America by Republican Neocons, in the manner that reads as if it was the realization of one of Dick Cheney's wet dreams.

Rather:

The official narrative would be widely propagated, world-wide, in day one, hour one, not discerned three days later when the average American notices soldiers guarding their local store or gas station. This will happen at Internet speeds, not at the speed of the broadcast mediums of newspapers, radio and TV.
The US Federal Government lacks the capacity, in any way shape or form, to deputize the millions of armed soldiers it would take to guard local stores and gas stations nationwide. The "red necks with gun racks in their pickups" would sooner shoot Biden's henchmen than shoot their neighbor.
This is not basically a Republican vs Democrat problem in American politics. Rather its the Debt Money Masters vs humanity.
This is a planet wide take down of current Deep State governments. Demonstrations in London, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, and Brisbane are larger than in the U.S. at present.
This is a war primarily for our understanding, world-wide. It is fought by gathering, sharing, and spreading information and disinformation, and by bribing, coercing, blackmailing, encouraging and supporting individuals and institutions, little known or well known, bots or real people, to propagate narratives that support or attack or obfuscate this or that position or situation.
Either we see a return to the national governments of major nations becoming less controlled by Globalist Banksters, and more reflective of the diverse interests and cultures of their own people, or we see them more controlled by Globalist Banksters.
Either way, this will be a critical transition that most national governments and national central banks around the world will be taking a position on, right up front, the first hour.
We will see our Debt Money world monetary system of recent centuries (not "fiat" money system, as our system is based on the Bankster's monopoly to create money by issuing off-setting ledger entries of debt, more than on the decree of national governments)

either [A] transition to "New" globally controlled Debt Money system.
or [B] transition to a fundamentally different basis, neutering the Banksters primary mechanism of control in recent centuries.


Of course, I risk falling to the same flaw that I claim that Rense did in the above article -- being sufficiently precise that I most assuredly become precisely wrong :bigsmile:.

Be that as it may:

Summary:
We are witnessing the collapse of Bankster controlled debt money, not just of the US Treasury market.

[ThePythonicCow]

In other words, my opening post on this thread anticipated that the collapse of Western Deep State Governments and Corporations was the first step in a crushing reset by the Deep State, hell bent on reconstituting a New World Order, under their more overt control.

However my Summary in the post above anticipates that the collapse of these Governments and Corporations is an indication of the demise of Debt Money, which the Banksters have used to control these institutions in recent centuries.

The new monetary system will develop from the crypto-currency work of the last decade.

=== ===

P.S. -- Even if my more optimistic forecast above is realized, there is still the risk that:


Whatever new monetary our civilization will also deeply suck, in some other way.
We will have to wade more deeply into our hellish swamp, before this happens.

[ThePythonicCow]

Rather:
This will happen at Internet speeds, not at the speed of the broadcast mediums of newspapers, radio and TV.

Side note:

Internet speed is faster than radio and TV speed.

The speed at which we integrate something into our world view and start acting on the basis of that information (or disinformation) depends on how quickly we repeat or share that information, such as by speaking or writing, whether on an exam in school, or spoken to another human, or written in our diary, or otherwise "engage" more parts of us.

That's why Internet forums (such as Avalon) are faster and more influential than radio or TV broadcasts.

That's why I learned better in school if I took notes in class, even if I never looked at those notes later.

That's why successful sales pitches "engage" the target audience ... get them saying, doing or sharing somehow what's being sold.

This may be, in a nutshell, some small part of what the "fathers" of modern propaganda (Freud's nephew Edward Bernays) and modern marketing (Philip Kotler) were telling us. Look for ways to engage the audience.

Internet bulletin boards (I'm dating myself with this reference), forums and social media are more engaging than radio and TV.

Small by comparison to your bird’s eye view and long term, Paul …

I add this because of the timing. I held my breath and my heart skipped a few beats yesterday when I first skimmed the email. Berkshire Bank informed customers of why they’ll close on September 15th at noon for the day. Penny Kelly’s Look-See questioned how to navigate the next 6 months and specifically between September 15th and October 15th @ 3:30 minutes.

The first point outlined is how there’s a trend of some smaller banks that were in partnership with big banks will pull away or break away to become independent, small banks again. They’ll go out on their own and restore public trust in the banking system.

Small by comparison to your bird’s eye view and long term, Paul …

...there’s a trend of some smaller banks that were in partnership with big banks will pull away or break away to become independent, small banks again

This may be far bigger than is immediately apparent, RunningDeer.

There have been (at least) a couple of major consolications of banks in United States history.

The historic bank runs in the Great Depression of the early 1930's in the United States were not the collapse of U.S. banking, far from it. Rather they were the consolidation of banking in the U.S., under the control of the big New York banks. Those big banks could control the Boom-Bust cycles sufficiently to drive smaller banks either out of business or into acquisition.

Later, less noticed in our history books, another wave of banking consolidation occurred in the U.S. in the 1960's, when many community banks were bought up by big banks.

My father, a small farmer at the time (cows - as you might guess) very much noticed it. The local bank that he relied on for the modest loans he needed to run his farm's finances was bought up by some big faceless bank, and that was one of the causes for my father selling the farm. The other reason was that his only son, whom he hoped would inherit his farm, was far more interested in reading books than in the hard, dirty, work of farming.

My father moved into town and took up a job as a "milk tester". This involved computerizing all sorts of records of the cows in our town's remaining dairy farms: what they ate, what milk they produced, when they were born, calved and should be culled (for most efficient profit). The remaining dairy farms in the community had to either Get Big, or Get Out. They took to pinning numbered tags on each cow's left ear, so they could keep track of which one was which.

That was my first experience with the industrialized herding and control that we now being applied to us humans by our would be controllers. As they did with the cows on the surviving farms down the road from my father's farm, the "controllers" would have us become numbered entries in computer programs, rather than personally known and named fellow creatures in the communities of our land.

I am delighted to see this trend reversing itself at this time. Amazing. I truly never anticipated that this would happen in my lifetime.

Though I "hate" your smart, I post a video about The Earth's Rotation. It makes me begin to believe you are right.

I have been a long time reader of Miles Mathis, who in "conventional" terms could be labeled a "conspiracy theorist, par excellence", and would perhaps smile at such an accusation.

The ones I have often labeled the "Elite Bastards", and whom I've also labeled in this thread the "Money Masters" and in other conversations the "Babylonian, Phoenician, Venetians", are, in my view and in Miles view, the wealthiest, most powerful, most dastardly families on this planet, and have been so for thousands of years. Miles commonly labels them the "Phoenicians." Jim Marrs, on page 6 of his book The Illuminati, The Secret Society that Hijacked the World" (https://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Secret-Society-Hijacked-World/dp/157859619X) writes of "the ancient empires of the Sumerians, Babylonians, Akkadians, Phoenicians and Assyrians", "each "a degraded version of its predecessor." Joseph P. Farrell writes of the Financial Vipers of Venice: Alchemical Money, Magical Physics, and Banking in the Middle Ages and Renaissance (https://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Secret-Society-Hijacked-World/dp/157859619X) and of Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (https://www.amazon.com/Babylons-Banksters-Alchemy-Physics-Religion/dp/1932595791).

These families understand the Alchemy of Money, and its usefulness as a tool to corrupt and control nations and civilizations. What are Death, Debt and Taxes to the rest of us are Power, Property and the Income of our enslaved labors to them. While we may find our exponentially exploding world-wide levels of personal, corporate and government debt to be depressing, they find empowering and enriching.

Thus it has been for thousands of years. We don't know just how many thousand years, since our historians, scribes, librarians, scholars and archeologists are mostly in the employ of these families, one way or another.

Miles Mathis' latest paper, Ben and Jerry Boycotting Israel? (http://mileswmathis.com/fauci.pdf) first published three days ago, Sept 9, 2021 (and just noticed by myself now), fits in rather well with the thesis of this thread. Perhaps we were "channeling" a common understanding?

After dismantling some announcement by the state of Arizona that they were boycotting Ben and Jerry's ice cream in the first half of this paper, Miles gets to his more substantive content. He writes that the real crisis that we, humanity, face is the covid justified tyranny being imposed on humanity. Most of the other news such as political bickering, Afghanistan, the latest shootings, riots, political conflicts, outrage from our "leaders", and such Miles considers to be manufactured distractions.

=== ===

However, in Miles' view, these Phoenicians have impoverished most of humanity, even the millionaires and some of the billionaires. They are now fighting amongst themselves, for ultimate control of our civilization.

In the words of Miles Mathis "In the past 20 years they have sucked a lot of people completely dry, tossing their carcasses aside. Taxable workers, taxable income, and stealable assets have to be plummeting, since the crooks have already stolen everything of value.". We deplorables own nothing left to steal. (Whether or not we're happy is our problem, not theirs.)

=== ===

Miles Mathis concludes this paper, much as I write in this thread:


... so the billionaires have to go after one another's money. It is the only thing left. And so we have seen the Civil War I have been telling you about, where the billionaires and trillionaires scheme against one another under the cloak of investment groups. To create even more cover they have tried to manufactured other Civil Wars among us peasants, red v. blue, man v. woman, black v. white, gay v. straight, old v. young. They want us fighting one another rather than allying against them. They know that while they are fighting one another, the rich are vulnerable. The losing group is especially vulnerable, because if we become aware of them in the battle, they could experience a fatal crash, never rising again. In fact, both groups are vulnerable during their war, since both will be weakened by fighting one another. They know it would be the worst time for them to have to face a revolution, in this weakened state, which is why they are spending so much time and money keeping your eyes off that. They want to make doubly and triply sure you choose a side, backing the winner, so all their propaganda resources are going to ensuring that. The worst thing for them would be if we all became aware of their war and picked neither side. This is a moment in history, maybe the first moment ever, where we the people could decide to drive right around them, deciding that we don't require any old family of Phoenicians to be our owners.

I say it is the first such moment in history, because never before have so many known so much about how the world works. Never before have so many had such access to knowledge and information. Never before have so many seen through the veils of history and the lies of the rulers. They call us sheep and treat us like sheep, and though many of us still prefer to munch grass and baaah, more of us are awake than ever before. Plus, there are simply more of us than ever before. Never in history have there been 7 billion people on this planet, so all those people don't have to be awake to make this a special time in history. In the first world, especially Europe and the US, it may be that a majority is awake. Not woke, but awake. Aware of the lies. Aware of the predation. Aware that our rulers are very bad people and that there is no solution to this but to take them down. I recommend we make the most of this opportunity, since it may not come again any time soon. The rulers have made a whole host of errors, gifting us this opening, and you can be sure they will soon come to realize that, trying to close those openings and shore up their weaknesses. If they achieve that, it will just be harder the next time.

The elite bastards miscalculated. The "Internet", which I presume they contracted their minions to construct, as the ultimate control grid, is being co-opted by us ordinary humans, who, unlike the sheep and cattle that were domesticated and herded successfully, remain in touch with higher levels of reality, with truth, justice and what many would call spiritual.

Just as it would have been foolish for a prison a few centuries ago to task their prisoners with making the first guns, so it is turning out to have been foolish, or at least highly risky, for the Elite Bastards, aka Phoenicians or Money Masters, to task us ordinary humans with building out and connecting to the Internet.

We humans are using that Internet to connect, share, and develop our awareness.

For example, I spent years of my most productive computer programming time, alongside tens of thousands of other good programmers, building out Free and Open Software alternatives, such as Linux, to the monopolistic software of Bill Gates' Microsoft. Now, outside of desktop PC's, Linux and its cousins (Unix, iOS, Android, BSD, ...) are the dominant operating system, world-wide, from mobile phones to super computers.

Thanks to what I've learned and shared on the Internet, I've re-learned the physics and astronomy that I once learned in college, I've moved my life from the high cash flow, high debt load, high tax life style I "enjoyed" twenty years ago to a life that is practically free of such entanglements. I've gone from working for one or another corporation to working on whatever interests me. I've totally weaned myself from "Standard of Care" conventional medicine. My understandings of our history, our current events and our human potential have enjoyed major overhauls.

I know, up close and personal, that the apparently indomitable oppression of Gates' software and now of Gates' medicines can be defeated or by-passed, left to rot in the dust bin of history.

Billions more people, each in their own unique ways, are traveling similar paths, sharing and cooperating with each other.

We are defeating those (no longer elite for much longer) Bastards. What some call "Freedom" and others call "Spiritual" and yet others call "Truth", rings true in our souls.

This "Derivative-Dollar" will likely collapse, like the Tower of Babel, soon, and dramatically.

I am still forecasting, as is Clif High, that the US Government will fail to pass a new budget and fail to raise, or continue suspending, the US Federal Debt limit, in the coming weeks. Perhaps China's failing Evergrande (https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/explainer-how-china-evergrandes-debt-woes-pose-a-systemic-risk-2021-07-27-0) will be another key trigger for this global, systemic, financial and monetary, collapse.

Another Clif High video, in which he once again (at the 47:10 mark, below) forecasts that the US Budget and Debt efforts will break down in later October. This will be a major milestone in the collapse of the Deep State and it's Debt-Money (as I call it), aka Fiat Money (the more common term that Clif uses).

The day the music dollar died.

[ThePythonicCow]

.
I also agree with Clif High's comments (at the 48:04 mark, above) on crypto-currencies. Cryptos (blockchains and other such distributed ledger technologies, layered over the Internet) will replace Debt-Money as the foundation of our monetary systems.

Currently, figuring out how to use crypto's, for most non-geek folks, is a pain in the wazoo, and much of it will change, especially how to move money between cryptos and the dying Dollar (and other such) Debt Money systems. Children being conceived now, if they don't get destroyed by jabs and abortions, might spend their entire monetary lives within crypto based money, and only learn about Debt-Money monetary systems if they take a college course in economic history.

So there will be a transition period of a year or three when the old system is majorly failing, but the new monetary system is not working smoothly for many people. Some serious chaos will ensue.

One of the (dozens) of items on my "wish I could do" list involves looking for ways for people to dip their toes into cryptos, just to start wrapping their mind around how they might use them.

Currently most people now are using the Internet ... even our non-geeky grandparents may be looking at the news or sharing with their grandkids, over the Web. In the 1980's geeks such as myself knew how to work with such technology, but mostly we only used it amongst ourselves. Then in the 1990's, it mushroomed into wide spread use, with such services as CompuServe and American OnLine (AOL). We're about to enter that mushrooming period for crypto-currencies.

I agree with Clif High who says above:

I am of the opinion that cryptos are part of the Self Organizing Collective (SOC) that saw this sh*t coming and wanted things to be done. I do not agree with Catherine Austin Fitts' statement that cryptos are a control system. ... They can't control cryptos, the same way they can't control the Internet.

Article indicating how crypto will disintermediate the El Salvador money-transfer companies, saving honest folks big time and removing one more source of predation of the 'lower' classes:

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bitcoin-really-does-fix-el-salvadors-adoption-bitcoin-will-cost-money-transfer-companies



"Bitcoin Really Does Fix This": El Salvador's Adoption Of Bitcoin Will Cost Money Transfer Companies Hundreds Of Millions In Fees

If you're from El Salvador living and working elsewhere in the world, Bitcoin wallet adoption in the country fixes an age-old problem that clunky money-transfer companies like Western Union used to have to solve: getting money back home.

According to CNBC, about 70% of the Salvadoran population receives remittance payments that could now be transferred using Bitcoin.

Jaime García of Saskatchewan, who left El Salvador after his house was bombed by rebels, told CNBC: “In this day and age, it is wild that I had to go to a physical Western Union office, give them actual cash, and then hand them another $25 on top of that, before they would send my money over."

“And then, of course, it takes three days for it to actually arrive in El Salvador," he continued.

Then, back in El Salvador, collecting also becomes a problem: “They have to take a bus to go to a physical location to pick it up, and there are gangs that hang out around those offices. They know what people are going there for, and they basically rob them.”

Last year, more than $6 billion, or about 23% of the country's GDP, was sent back home from the 2.5 million who have fled El Salvador. "60% of that cash comes via remittance companies and 38% through banking institutions," CNBC reported, citing official data.

The shift in how payments are made could wind up costing money transfer companies up to a billion dollars, Mario Gomez Lozada estimated. Lozada was born and raised in El Salvador, has previously worked as a banker with Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse and now works running a derivates exchange for crypto assets.

Lozada said: “It will be interesting to see the impact on remittances in a few months and see what percentage of it uses the bitcoin network rails. My guess is most people initially will cash bitcoin into U.S. dollars, as this is what they are used to, but we should see a gradual adoption of bitcoin as the main means of transaction and pricing. I see a future where consumer items like milk and bread are priced in bitcoin directly and people might even start holding bitcoin.”

Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of Bitwise Asset Management, told CNBC: “Remittances are one area where the status quo in our legacy financial system is terrible, with extraordinarily high fees leveled at populations that can ill afford them.”

He continued: “It won’t be overnight; 100% of remittances aren’t going to move to the Chivo app tomorrow. These things take time, and people naturally worry about trying new things with money. But the current fee levels of charge for remittances are going to prove unsustainable.”

Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer for the Human Rights Foundation, said: “Wherever you are now, you can send bitcoin to anyone with a Chivo wallet in El Salvador, and in minutes, they have the value and then they can go to one of the ATMs and take it out in cash without a fee. That’s drop-dead stunning. It’s an incredible humanitarian improvement.”

Hougan concluded: “It’s a worn-out Twitter saying, but bitcoin really does fix this."

Evergrande Suspends Trading In All Bonds

BY TYLER DURDEN --- THURSDAY, SEP 16, 2021 - 08:11 AM

Earlier today we pointed out that in what can (obviously) only be a remarkable coincidence, China's largest, and most systematically important real estate developer, China Evergrande (and its $300+ billion in debt), collapsed on the 13th anniversary of Lehman's bankruptcy filing, when Beijing told Evergrande's creditor banks that the insolvent company, which recently hired Houlihan Lokey as bankruptcy advisor, would not pay interest on its debt next week, nor would it repay principal, in effect blessing the coming default.

And yet there was some trace of hope, because as Forte Securities trader Keith Temperton said "The Asian banks will get hit hard if there's a default, but then there will be a 10-year recovery process. The market's getting a hang of it. The way they've managed the news flow seems quite clever. They haven't let a swathe of bad news at once" giving investors and creditors some hope that the money could still miraculously reappear.

Not any more: in an exchange filing on Thursday, Evergrande's main unit (onshore real estate) said that trading in all of its onshore bonds would be suspended on Sept 16 ...

My favorite day trader commentator on the New York stock markets and US treasuries, Gregory Mannarino, disagrees with me and the other Evergrande doomers.

He agrees that the financial markets will come down, will crater. It will be Biblical.

He is certain that we'll see this collapse when and as the US Treasury Ten Year Bond market collapses. That will be evidenced by their yield breaking higher. Ten Year yields remain low and in a stable band. The core of the global financial problem is debt, and the market for the Ten Year is the biggest, core, debt market asset.

He is confident that whatever is the event that marks the collapse, it will out of left field, as it always is. That has not happened yet.

Meanwhile, stress points, such as Evergrande, will be bailed out, papered over, somehow.

The collapse has not yet been triggered, and it won't be anything that we can so easily identify, such as Evergrande, that marks the beginning of the collapse.

Michel Chossudovsky does a brilliant job of tying together the current "plague" and the collapse of the current monetary system.

The lockdowns, unemployment, rent moratoriums, supply chain failures, and such are NOT JUST tyranny for the sake of tyranny, and NOT JUST justification for election fraud in the U.S.

The lockdowns and economic collapse are a world-wide, long planned, controlled demolition of the world's economic, financial and monetary systems.

A key event occurred early in the pandemic, in the first months of 2020, almost unnoticed even by some of us who tend to pay attention to such things. The Money Masters are carrying out one of their periodic crises, to gain more leverage of humanity.

Unlike prior crises which often manifest as overt wars between nations or collapse of individual nations, this is a war between the Elite Bastards who control the Money Masters, and humanity.

Ethereum and other major cryptos that have any intention of supporting a high volume crypto transactions are shifting to Proof of Stake. Whoever has the biggest stash of such a crypto will have the biggest voice in what goes next onto that blockchain, and more over, in how that block chain is governed.
I just started listening to this guy, Qiao Wang, a few minutes ago.

He gets crypto (and if you look at his twitter feed, https://twitter.com/QwQiao, nutrition).

Hopefully I can do a transcription, that correctly picks up the various techy acronyms, such as "NFT" (for non-fungible token), that come across in the youtube closed captioned as "mft", that Qiao uses as a common term in his vocabulary, buth which risk being undecipherable to a someone who has not been following crypto for a while.

But aside from losing a few details such as that ... this Youtube interview of Qiao Wang (at least the first few minutes that I've listened to so far) is f'n Awesome.

Avoiding Secession Through an Amendments Convention
Rob Natelson
September 26, 2021 (https://www.theepochtimes.com/avoiding-secession-through-an-amendments-convention_4015435.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=digitalsub)

Commentary

The national divide has gotten so deep that even the brilliant Roger Simon has broached the subject of succession: “I never thought I’d be writing about secession or anything close. Not in a million years,” he wrote.

After reciting his love of country, Simon continues,

“But the times being what they are and the man occupying the presidency being who he is, not to mention those surrounding him being who they are, plus the issues that divide us … I feel compelled to discuss secession or division as if they were a real possibility worth considering.”

Simon has picked up on the secession talk I’ve heard bubbling through the grassroots:

“… I know I’m not alone in thinking about what was once unthinkable. Indeed, from what I’ve heard, even in the halls of Congress there are those so concerned with the inability of the red and blue to speak or reason together, who see a gulf between both sides so wide it will never be bridged, that some of our politicians are beginning to whisper about secession or the like as well.”

Secession movements are responses to national policies imposed over strong objections from particular regions of the country. The first major secession movement arose in the New England states during the War of 1812. The federal government, then dominated by officials from other states, had declared war on Great Britain. The war destroyed the New England fishing and commercial economy.

The second major secession movement was, of course, the exodus of Southern states in 1860 and 1861. The South resented federal tariffs and feared the central government would act against slavery. The immediate trigger was the election of a president whose party had pledged to end slavery in the federal territories. If that happened, the slave states would be hemmed in and their “peculiar institution” potentially doomed to extinction.

Like previous secession movements, modern secession sentiment derives from regional dissatisfaction with national policy. However, the current sentiment differs from previous movements in at least four ways:

First: In previous movements, the national policies causing dissatisfaction were few in number. Today there is much more to complain about: The central government has been forcing all states and citizens (except those with political pull) to bend the neck to arbitrary and stupid diktats governing health care, immigration, education, marriage, social policy, land use, and many other subjects.

Second: During the War of 1812, New England contained only five of the 18 states. (Maine was still part of Massachusetts.) In 1860–61, only 11 of 34 states—containing just 27 percent of the population—seceded.

Modern dissatisfaction is more geographically widespread. In recent years, a majority of states have sued to upend Obamacare, vaccination mandates, and other federal policies. In 2020, half the states voted for Donald Trump. Sixty percent of the states have Republican legislatures and a majority have Republican governors.

Third: It was awkward to make a moral case for New England commerce and particularly difficult to do so for slavery—although some people tried. By contrast, many of the policies now issuing from Washington are deeply offensive to traditional morality.

Fourth: The centralized policies of 1814 and 1861, wise or not, were constitutionally legitimate: The Constitution grants Congress power to declare war and (despite the absurd ruling in the Dred Scott case) power to govern the federal territories. By contrast, many current national policies are, under any honest reading of the Constitution, far outside federal authority. Some of them, such as the Biden administration’s failure to enforce immigration statutes, actually defy federal law.

One might argue that these four differences make secession more practical than in 1814 or 1861. But a better way of looking at it is that those differences give the dissenting states certain advantages, and more viable options, than merely submitting or seceding. The best option—and the key to saving the country—is decentralization.

The Founders understood the advantages of decentralization. That’s why they created a federal, rather than a unitary, government. History had shown that free republics endured only if they govern small territories. Republics occupying large areas degenerated into despotism, because holding together regions with disparate interests and cultures required a strong man or military oligarchy. An obvious example was the Roman Republic, which could not adapt to territorial expansion, and therefore degenerated into autocracy. Another example is Russia today.

John Dickinson in his “Fabius” essays and Alexander Hamilton in “Federalist” No. 9, pointed out that the Constitution met the challenge by creating a decentralized system. The overwhelming majority of policy issues would be resolved at the state or local level; divisive national controversies would be limited to tariffs, foreign affairs, the post office, and a few other subjects.

We have ignored this wisdom and the Constitution that enshrined it. Federal functionaries and their media/special interest allies have nationalized every issue. That is the leading cause of our bitter divisions: We fight over everything because the feds try to control everything.

How do we restore decentralization? The Constitution gives us a tool for the purpose. Article V of the Constitution permits two-thirds (34) of the state legislatures to force Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments. At a convention for proposing amendments, each state has an equal voice: It is one species in a larger class of assemblies called “conventions of states.” State lawmakers can direct this assembly to propose amendments limiting federal power, after which the states then decide whether to ratify them.

This is the procedure the Founders recommended for correcting central overreach. George Mason, Constitutional Convention delegate from Virginia, insisted on it as a remedy in case the central government became “oppressive.” Samuel Rose, a leading New York ratifier, noted that the procedure “prescribed for the states a mode of restraining the powers of government, if upon trial it should be found that they had given too much.” Tench Coxe, the author of some of the most-widely read essays in support of the Constitution, explained:

“The sovereign power of altering and amending the constitution … is vested in the several legislatures and [ratifying] conventions of the states, chosen by the people respectively within them. The foederal government cannot alter the constitution, the people at large by their own agency cannot alter the constitution, but the representative bodies of the states, that is their legislatures and conventions, only can execute these acts of sovereign power.

“… [A]s the foederal legislature cannot effect dangerous alterations which they might desire, so they cannot prevent such wholesome alterations and amendments as are now desired, or which experience may hereafter suggest. … If two thirds of those legislatures require it, Congress must call a general convention, even though they dislike the proposed amendments, and if three fourths of the state legislatures or conventions approve such proposed amendments, they become an actual and binding part of the constitution, without any possible interference of Congress.”

The number of states with Republican legislatures (governors have no role in the process) already approaches the necessary two thirds. Because the Biden administration’s power lust is matched only by its incompetence, after the 2022 election, the tally of GOP legislatures may soon be higher. Surely a convention dominated by conservative state legislatures can draft amendments popular enough to be ratified by 38 states. There are, after all, sensible liberals appalled by federal excess and the danger of national breakup.

We have everything to gain from a convention of states and nothing to lose. (Claims that an amendments convention is uncontrollable or could be controlled by Congress are myths without historical or legal basis.) We have, accordingly, a moral and legal obligation to employ that constitutional tool before splitting up the country.

Views expressed in this article are the opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Robert G. Natelson, a former constitutional law professor, is senior fellow in constitutional jurisprudence at the Independence Institute in Denver, and a senior adviser to the Convention of States movement. His research articles on the Constitution’s meaning have been cited repeatedly by justices and parties in the Supreme Court. He is the author of “The Original Constitution: What It Actually Said and Meant.”

I wonder how a civil war in the USA can be avoided? I have always heard that a constitutional convention should be avoided as it MIGHt give the opportunity to obliterate the constitution? Mark Steyn whom I respect has said that the situation we are in is already "a post constitution nation".

The combination and accumulation of power by one centralized oligarchy of powerful interests, manifest as a fascist (combined corporate, political and financial interests), that has been done over the last century around the world, such as I've lived through in the United States in the 70+ years of my life, claims to be "for the greater good", but is actually driven by the most powerful, must be devolved.

It is not for the greater good of humanity. As one small example, the "War on Drugs" did not remove that scourge from humanity, but rather removed competition, world-wide, to the CIA controlled drug trafficking business. As John D Rockefeller famously noted, "Competition is a sin" (in the view of such tyrants as himself).

This is not simply a secession of states or a potential Civil War. It is the rebuilding of our civilization, from the ground up, from "local" interests on up, where "local" might be a handful of people, world-wide, working together over the Internet, on an area of common interest.

Here's the 15 minute, 19 second clip from the above Susan Bradford link that I extracted from her 29 March 2021 interview with Patric Timpone.

It will give you a sense of Susan's background, and a few of her (many) insights into how the deep state, which she sometimes calls the Phoenicians, as led by the Rothschilds for the last few centuries, have forced their way into immense power over much of the world's nations and major institutions.

http://thepythoniccow.us/Patrick_Timone_Soundcloud_03.29.21_bradford_susan_cropped.mp3

(The inline MP3 markup was not working for me, so you'll have to click the above link to play it.)

Susan Bradford's understanding closely matches mine in many ways, though with much more in depth research and reporting skill than mine.
Another person who comes to his own "unique" take on matters, including our history, is Miles Mathis. He has just posted his take on the history of Rome (http://mileswmathis.com/caesar.pdf), especially around the time of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra.

Those who enjoy reading Miles' works will not be surprised to learn that he figures that both Caesar and Cleopatra, as well as the other ruling families of Rome at that time, were descendants of the Phoenicians.

If such retellings of our history, from ancient times to current events, are correct, and the Phoenicans and their descendant families, by the numerous names they have taken, are as deeply entrenched into the dominant institutions (governments, corporations,et al) of our time as such retellings present, then it will be stunning beyond ordinary comprehension if it turns out that we are now living through the time of their overthrow.

My current sense is that we are living in such times, and that I will live to see the day when this becomes more apparent to the people of our civilization.

Since one (of many) of their tools for the oppression of humanity is the centralization and weaponization of monetary power and debt issuance, therefore a key marker for their collapse will be the removal of central banks and centralized control of our civilization's money and debt. The non-centralized alternatives are termed "DeFi" in the cryptocurrency space, where "DeFi" stands for Decentralized Finance. A key organizing structure being developed in the cryptocurrency space is called "DAO", for Decentralized Autonomous Organization. DAO's build upon distributed ledgers, such as blockchains, to manage the assets and contracts of mission focused organizations which manage specific resources, assets, capabilities, and activities.

We will need to soon come to understand the essential difference between cryptocurrencies that are independently distributed, decentralized and organized, and those other central bank digital currencies (CBDC's) that are central bank money, in a new digital form, that would extend the control and surveillance of the existing Money Masters much more deeply into every human's day to day affairs.

Digital currencies, aka cryptocurrencies, are like the gunpowder used by armies and police in recent centuries. Both are core technologies that dramatically empower those who have them over all others who don't have and control them. The manner in which our civilization's money is handled and debt is issued, following the collapse of the current US Dollar centric system, will determine whether or not humanity escapes the 6,000 rule of these Money Masters, descendant from the Phoenicians.

I beseech all reading my words here to learn more of these digital, aka crypto, currencies and of their various uses in managing all sorts of human activity and resources. In particular, learn to distinguish between CBDC and DeFi. The future of freedom for the next millennium hangs in the balance.

Mao Zedong once said that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun (Chinese: 枪杆子里面出政权)"

Now it seems to me that "political power grows out of the structure of our money."


Yes to Decentralized Finance (DEFI), built on distributed ledgers (e.g. blockchains), and managed by Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO).

No to Central Banks, their Digital Currencies (CBDC's), and the continued global centralization of the power over of our money and debt, which would enslave us all (except the Money Masters).

Well, on the other hand, I'm probably a decade late and a billion dollars (*) short to influence the future on this.

I just posted a compelling article describing what seems more likely to unfold in the U.S., regarding crypto currenies:
Future U.S. IRS Tax regulations on Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, etc (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?116499-Future-U.S.-IRS-Tax-regulations-on-Cryptocurrencies-Bitcoin-etc).

Bottom line - if the changes forecast in this article by Wesley Thysse occur, then the U.S. would replace its debt-money (banks lend money into existence) with a Federal Reserve issued Central Bank Digital Currency, and all cryptocurrencies would fall under various laws and regulations adapted from various existing securities and commodities laws and regulations.

(*) ... or should I say a century late and a trillion dollars short?

A Global Fiat Currency: "One Ring to Rule Them All"

09/24/2021 -- Thorsten Polleit (https://mises.org/profile/thorsten-polleit)

1.

Human history can be viewed from many angles. One of them is to see it as a struggle for power and domination, as a struggle for freedom and against oppression, as a struggle of good against evil.

That is how Karl Marx (1818–83) saw it, and Ludwig von Mises (1881–1973) judged similarly. Mises wrote:


The history of the West, from the age of the Greek Polis down to the present-day resistance to socialism, is essentially the history of the fight for liberty against the encroachments of the officeholders. (1)

But unlike Marx, Mises recognized that human history does not follow predetermined laws of societal development but ultimately depends on ideas that drive human action.

From Mises’s point of view, human history can be understood as a battle of good ideas against bad ideas.

Ideas are good if the actions they recommend bring results that are beneficial for everyone and lead the actors to their desired goals;

At the same time, good ideas are ethically justifiable, they apply to everyone, anytime and anywhere, and ensure that people who act upon them can survive.

On the other hand, bad ideas lead to actions that do not benefit everyone, that do not cause all actors to achieve their goals and/or are unethical.

Good ideas are, for example, people accepting “mine and yours”; or entering into exchange relationships with one another voluntarily. Bad ideas are coercion, deception, embezzlement, theft.

Evil ideas are very bad ideas, ideas through which whoever puts them into practice is consciously harming others. Evil ideas are, for example, physical attacks, murder, tyranny.

2.

With Lord of the Rings, J. J. R. Tolkien (1892–1973) wrote a literary monument about the epic battle between good and evil. His fantasy novel, published in 1954, was a worldwide success, not least because of the movie trilogy, released from 2001 to 2003.

What is Lord of the Rings about? In the First Age, the deeply evil Sauron—the demon, the hideous horror, the necromancer—had rings of power made by the elven forges.


Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

But Sauron secretly forges an additional ring into which he pours all his darkness and cruelty, and this one ring, the master ring, rules all the other rings.

When Sauron puts the master ring on his finger, he can read and control the minds of everyone wearing one of the other rings.

The elves see through the dark plan and hide their three rings. The seven rings of the dwarves also fail to subjugate their bearers. But the nine rings of men proved to be effective: Sauron enslaved nine human kings, who were to serve him.

Then, however, in the Third Age, in the battle before Mount Doom, Isildur, the eldest son of King Elendils, severed Sauron’s ring finger with a sword blow. Sauron is defeated and loses his physical form, but he survives.

Now Isildur has the ring of power, and it takes possession of him. He does not destroy the master ring when he has the opportunity, and it costs him his life. When Isildur is killed, the ring sinks to the bottom of a river and remains there for twenty-five hundred years.

Then the ring is found by Smeagol, who is captivated by its power. The ring remains with its finder for nearly five hundred years, hidden from the world.

Over time, Sauron’s power grows again, and he wants the Ring of Power back. Then the ring is found, and for sixty years, it remains in the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, a friendly, well-meaning being who does not allow himself to be seduced by the power of the One Ring.

Years later, the wizard Gandalf the Gray learns that Sauron’s rise has begun, and that the Ring of Power is held by Bilbo Baggins.

Gandalf knows that there is only one way to defeat the ring and its evil: it must be destroyed where it was created, in Mordor.

Bilbo Baggins’s nephew, Frodo Baggins, agrees to take the task upon himself. He and his companions—a total of four hobbits, two humans, a dwarf, and an elf—embark on the dangerous journey.

They endure hardship, adversity, and battles against the dark forces, and in the end, they succeed at what seemed impossible: the destruction of the ring of power in the fires of Mount Doom. Good triumphs over evil.

3.

The ring in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is not just a piece of forged gold. It embodies Sauron’s evil, corrupting everyone who lays hands or eyes on it, poisons their soul, and makes them willing helpers of evil.

No one can wield the cruel power of the One Ring and use it for good; no human, no dwarf, no elf.

Can an equivalent for Tolkien’s literary portrait of the evil ring be found in the here and now? Yes, I believe so, and in the following, I would like to offer you what I hope is a startling, but in any case entertaining, interpretation.

Tolkien’s Rings of Power embody evil ideas.

The nineteen rings represent the idea that the ring bearers should have power over others and rule over them.

And the One Ring, to which all other rings are subject, embodies an even darker idea, namely that the bearer of this master ring has power over all other ring bearers and those ruled by them; that he is the sole and absolute ruler of all.

The nineteen rings symbolize the idea of establishing and maintaining a state (as we know it today), namely a state understood as a territorial, coercive monopoly with the ultimate power of decision-making over all conflicts.

However, the One Ring of power stands for the particularly evil idea of creating a state of states, a world government, a world state; and the creation of a single world fiat currency controlled by the states would pave the way toward this outcome.

4.

To explain this, let us begin with the state as we know it today. The state is the idea of the rule of one over the other.

This is how the German economist, sociologist, and doctor Franz Oppenheimer (1864–1946) sees it:


The state … is a social institution, forced by a victorious group of men on a defeated group, with the sole purpose of regulating the dominion of the victorious group over the vanquished and securing itself against revolt from within and attacks from abroad…. This dominion had no other purpose than the economic exploitation of the vanquished by the victors. (2)

Joseph Stalin (1878–1953) defined the state quite similarly:


The state is a machine in the hands of the ruling class to suppress the resistance of its class opponents. (3)

The modern state in the Western world no longer uses coercion and violence as obviously as many of its predecessors.

But it, too, is, of course, built on coercion and violence, asserts itself through them, and most importantly, it divides society into a class of the rulers and a class of the ruled.

How does the state manage to create and maintain such a two-class society of rulers and ruled?

In Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, nine men, all of them kings, wished to wield power, and so they became bearers of the rings, and because of that, they were inescapably bound to Sauron's One Ring of power.

This is quite similar to the idea of the state. To seize, maintain, and expand power, the state seduces its followers to do what is necessary, to resort to all sorts of techniques: propaganda, carrot and stick, fear, and even terror.

The state lets the people know that it is good, indispensable, inevitable. Without it, the state whispers, a civilized coexistence of people would not be possible.

Most people succumb to this kind of propaganda, and the state gets carte blanche to effectively infiltrate all economic and societal matters—kindergarten, school, university, transport, media, health, pensions, law, security, money and credit, the environment—and thereby gains power.

The state rewards its followers with jobs, rewarding business contracts, and transfer payments. Those who resist will end up in prison or lose their livelihood or even their lives.

The state spreads fear and terror to make people compliant—as people who are afraid are easy to control, especially if they have been led to believe that the state will protect them against any evil.

Lately, the topics of climate change and coronavirus have been used for fear-mongering, primarily by the state, which is skillfully using them to increase its omnipotence: it destroys the economy and jobs, makes many people financially dependent on it, clamps down on civil and entrepreneurial freedoms.

However, it is of the utmost importance for the state to win the battle of ideas and be the authority to say what are good ideas and what are bad ideas.

Because it is ideas that determine people’s actions.

The task of winning over the general public for the state traditionally falls to the so-called intellectuals—the people whose opinions are widely heard, such as teachers, doctors, university professors, researchers, actors, comedians, musicians, writers, journalists, and others.

The state provides a critical number of them with income, influence, prestige, and status in a variety of ways—which most of them would not have been able to achieve without the state. In gratitude for this, the intellectuals spread the message that the state is good, indispensable, inevitable.

Among the intellectuals, there tend to be quite a few who willingly submit to the rings of power, helping—consciously or unconsciously—to bring their fellow men and women under the spell of the rings or simply to walk over, subjugate, dominate them.

Anyone who thinks that the state (as we know it today) is acceptable, a justifiable solution, as long as it does not exceed certain power limits, is seriously mistaken.

Just as the One Ring of power tries to find its way back to its lord and master, an initially limited state inevitably strives towards its logical endpoint: absolute power.

The state (as we know it today) is pushing for expansion both internally and externally. This is a well-known fact derived from the logic of human action.

George Orwell put it succinctly: “The object of power is power.” (4) Or, as Hans-Hermann Hoppe nails it, “[E]very minimal government has the inherent tendency to become a maximal government.” (5)

Inwardly, the state is expanding through all sorts of interventions in economic and social life, through regulations, ordinances, laws, and taxes.

Outwardly, the economically and militarily strongest state will seek to expand its sphere of influence. In the most primitive form, this happens through aggressive campaigns of conquest and war, in a more sophisticated form, by pursuing political ideological supremacy.

In recent decades the latter has taken the form of democratic socialism. To put it casually, democratic socialism means allowing and doing what the majority wants.

Under democratic socialism, private property is formally upheld, but it is declared that no one is the rightful owner of 100 percent of the income from their property.

People no longer strive for freedom from being ruled but rather to participate in the rule. The result is not people pushing back the state, but rather coming to terms and cooperating with it.

The practical consequence of democratic socialism is interventionism: the state intervenes in the economy and society on a case-by-case basis to gradually make socialist ideals a reality.

All societies of the Western world have embraced democratic socialism, some with more authority than others, and all of them use interventionism. Seen in this light, all Western states are now acting in concert.

What they also have in common is their disdain for competition, because competition sets undesirable limits to the state’s expansive nature.

Therefore, larger states often form a cartel. Smaller, less powerful states are compelled to join—and if they refuse, they will suffer political and economic disadvantages.

But the cartel of states is only an intermediate step. The logical endpoint that democratic socialism is striving for is the creation of a central authority, something like a world government, a world state.

5.

In Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, the One Ring, the ring of power, embodies this very dark idea: to rule them all, to create a world state.

To get closer to this goal, democracy (as we understand it today) is proving to be an ideal trailblazer, and that’s most likely the reason why it is praised to the skies by socialists.

Sooner or later, a democracy will mutate into an oligarchy, as the German-Italian sociologist Robert Michels pointed out in 1911.

According to Michels, parties emerge in democracies. These parties are organizations that need strict leadership, which is handed to the most power-hungry, ruthless people. They will represent the party elite.

The party elite can break away from the will of the party members and pursue their own goals and agendas. For example, they can form coalitions or cartels with elites of other parties.

As a result, there will be an oligarchization of democracy, in which the elected party elites or the cartel of the party elites will be the kings of the castle. It is not the voters who will call the tune but oligarchic elites that will rule over the voters.

The oligarchization of democracy will not only afflict individual states but will also affect the international relations of democracies.

Oligarchical elites from different countries will join together and strengthen each other, primarily by creating supranational institutions.

Democratic socialism evolves into “political globalism”: the idea that people should not be allowed to shape their own destiny in a system of free markets but that it should be assigned and directed by a global central authority.

The One Ring of power drives those who have already been seduced by the common rings to long for absolute power, to elevate themselves above the rest of humanity. Who comes to mind?

Well, various politicians, high-level bureaucrats, court intellectuals, representatives of big banking, big business, Big Pharma and Big Tech and, of course, big media—together they are often called the “Davos elite” or the “establishment.”

Whether it is about combating financial and economic crises, climate change, or viral diseases—the one ring of power ensures that supranational, state-orchestrated solutions are propagated; that centralization is placed above decentralization; that the state, not the free market, is empowered.

Calls for the “new world order,” the “Great Transformation,” the “Great Reset” are the results of this poisonous mindset inspired by the one ring of power.

National borders are called into question, property is relativized or declared dispensable, and even a merging of people’s physical, digital, and biological identities—transhumanism—is declared the goal of the self-empowered globalist establishment.

But how can political globalism be promoted at a time when there are (still) social democratic nation-states that insist on their independence? And where people are separated by different languages, values, and religions?

How do the political globalists get closer to their badly desired end of world domination, their world state?

6.

Sauron is the undisputed tyrant and dictator in his realm of darkness. He operates something like a command economy, forcing his subjects to clear forests, build military equipment, and breed Orcs.

There are neither markets nor money in Sauron’s sinister kingdom. Sauron takes whatever he wants; he has overcome exchange and money, so to speak.

Today’s state is not quite that powerful, and it finds itself in economies characterized by property, division of labor, and monetary exchange.

The state wants to control money—because this is one of the most effective ways to gain ultimate power.

To this end, the modern state has already acquired the monopoly of money production; and it has replaced gold with its own fiat money.

Over time, fiat money destroys the free market system and thus the free society. Ludwig von Mises saw this as early 1912. He wrote:


It would be a mistake to assume that the modern organization of exchange is bound to continue to exist. It carries within itself the germ of its own destruction; the development of the fiduciary medium must necessarily lead to its breakdown. (6)

Indeed, fiat money not only causes inflation, economic crises, and an unsocial redistribution of income and wealth. Above all, it is a growth elixir for the state, making it ever larger and more powerful at the expense of the freedom of its citizens and entrepreneurs.

Against this backdrop, it should be quite understandable why the political globalists see creating a single world currency as an important step toward seizing absolute power.

In Europe, what the political globalists want “on a large scale” has already been achieved “on a small scale”: merging many national currencies into one.

In 1999, eleven European nation-states gave up their currencies and merged them into a single currency, the euro, which is produced by a supranational authority, the European Central Bank.

The creation of the euro provides the blueprint by which the world’s major currencies can be converted into a single world currency.

This is what the 1999 Canadian Nobel laureate in economics, Robert Mundell, recommends: Fixing the exchange rates between the US dollar, the euro, the Chinese renminbi, the Japanese yen, and the British pound against each other and also fixing them against a new unit of account, the INTOR. And hocus pocus: here is the world fiat currency, controlled by a cartel of central banks or a world central bank.

7.

Admittedly, creating a single world fiat currency seems to have little chance of being realized at first glance. But maybe at second glance.

First of all, there is a good economic reason for having a single world currency: if all people do business with the same money, the productive power of money is optimized. From an economic standpoint, the optimal number of monies in the world is one.

What is more, nation-states have the monopoly of money within their respective territory, and since they all adhere to democratic socialism, they also have an interest in ensuring that there is no currency competition—not even between different state fiat currencies. This makes them susceptible to the idea of reducing the pluralism of currencies.

Furthermore, one should not misinterpret the so-called rivalry between the big states such as the US and China and between China and Europe, which is being discussed in the mainstream media on a regular basis.

No doubt that there is a rivalry between the national rulers: they do not want to give up the power they have gained in their respective countries; they want to become even more powerful.

But the rivalry between the oligarchic democracies of the West has already weakened significantly, and there are great incentives for the oligarchic party elites to work together across borders.

In fact, it is the oligarchization of democracy in the Western world that allowed for the rapprochement with a socialist-communist regime: the state increasingly taking control of the economic and societal system.

This development could be called “the Chinacization of the West.”

The way the Western world has dealt with the coronavirus—the suspension, perhaps the termination of constitutional rights and freedoms—undoubtedly shows where the journey is headed: to the authoritarian state that is beyond the control of the people—as is the case in Communist China. The proper slogan for this might be “One System, Many Countries.”

Is it too farfetched to assume that the Western world will make common cause with Communist China not only on health issues but also on the world currency issue? The democratic socialists in the West and the Chinese Communist Party have a great deal of common ground and common interest, I would think.

It is certainly no coincidence that China has pushed hard for the Chinese renminbi to be included in the International Monetary Fund’s special drawing rights, and that the IMF already agreed in November 2015.

8.

The issue of digital central bank money, something the world’s major central banks are working on, could be a catalyst in the creation of a single world currency.

The issue of digital central bank money not only heralds the end of cash—the anonymous payment option for citizens and entrepreneurs.

Once people start using digital central bank money, it will be easy for the central bank and the state to spy on people’s transactions.

The state will not only know who pays what, when, where, and what for. It will also be in a position to determine who gets access to the deposits: who gets them and who doesn’t.

China is blazing the trail with its “social credit system”: behavior conforming to the Communist regime is rewarded, behavior that does not is punished.

Against this backdrop, digital central bank money would be particularly effective at stifling unwanted political opposition.

Digital central bank money will not only replace cash, but it will also increasingly compete with money from commercial banks.

Why should you keep your money with banks that are exposed to the risk of default when you can keep it safe with the central bank that never goes bankrupt?

Once commercial bank deposits can be exchanged one to one for digital central bank money—and this is to be expected—the credit and monetary system is de facto fully nationalized.

Because under these conditions, the central bank transfers its unlimited solvency to the commercial banking sector.

This completely deprives the financial markets of their function of determining the cost of capital—and the state-planned economy becomes a reality.

In fact, this is the type of command and control economy that emerged in National Socialist Germany in the 1930s. The state formally retained ownership of the means of production.

But with commands, prohibitions, laws, taxes, and control, the state determines who is allowed to produce what, when, and under what conditions, and who is allowed to consume what, when, and how much.

In such a command and control economy, it is quite conceivable that the form of money production will change—away from money creation through lending toward the issue of helicopter money.

The central bank determines who gets how much new money and when. The amount of money in people’s bank accounts no longer reflects their economic success. From now on, it is the result of arbitrary political decisions by the central banks, i.e., the rulers.

The prospect of being supplied with new money by the state and its central bank—that is, receiving an unconditional basic income—will presumably drive hosts of people into the arms of the state and bring any resistance to its machinations to a shrieking halt.

9.

Will the people, the general public, really subscribe to all of this?

Well, government-sponsored economists, in particular, will do their very best to inform us about the benefits of having a globally coordinated monetary policy; that stabilizing the exchange rates between national currencies is beneficial; that if a supranational controlled currency—with the name INTOR or GLOBAL—is created, we will achieve the best of all worlds. And as the issuance of digital central bank money has shut down the last remnants of a free capital market, the merging of different national currencies into one will be relatively easy.

The single world currency creature that the political globalists want to create will be a fiat money, certainly not a commodity money.

Such a single world fiat currency will not only suffer from all the economic and ethical defects which weigh on national fiat currencies.

It will also exacerbate and exponentiate the damages a national fiat currency causes. The door to a high inflation policy would be pushed wide open—as nobody could escape the inflationary single world fiat currency.

The states are the main beneficiaries: they can get money from the world central bank at any time, provided they adhere to the rules set out by the world central bank and the special interest groups that govern it.

This creates the incentive for national states to relinquish sovereignty rights and to submit to supranational rules—for example, in taxation and financial market regulation.

It is therefore the incentive resulting from a single world currency that paves the way toward a world government and a world state.

In this context, please note what happened in the euro area: the starting point was not the creation of the EU superstate, which was to be followed by the introduction of the euro. It was exactly the opposite: the euro was introduced to overcome national sovereignty and ultimately establish the United Nations of Europe.

One has good reason to fear that the idea of issuing a world fiat currency—which the master ring relentlessly pushes for—would bring totalitarianism—that would most likely dwarf the regim

10.

In Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, evil is eventually defeated. The story has a happy ending. Will it be that easy in our world?

The ideas of having a state (as we know it today), of tolerating it, of cooperating with it, of giving the state total control over our money, of accepting fiat money, are deeply rooted in people’s minds as good ideas.

Where are the forces supposed to come from that will enlighten people about the evil that the state (as we know it today) brings to humanity?

Particularly when in kindergartens, schools, and universities—which are all in the hands of the state—the teachings of collectivism-socialism-Marxism are systematically drummed into people’s (especially impressionable children’s) heads, when the teachings of freedom, free market and free society, and capitalism are hardly or not at all imparted to the younger generation?

Who will explain to people the uncomfortable truth that even a minimal state will become a maximal state? That states’ monopolies over money will lead to a single world currency and thus world tyranny?

It does not take much to become bleak when it comes to the future of the free economic and social order.

However, it would be rather shortsighted to get pessimistic.

Those who believe in Jesus Christ can trust that God will not fail them. If we cannot think of a solution to the problems at hand, the believers can trust God. Because “[e]ven in the darkest night, there is a bright light shining somewhere.”

Or: please remember the Enlightenment movement in the eighteenth century. At that time, the Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant explained the “unheard of” to the people, namely that there is such a thing as “autonomy of reason.”

It means that you and I have the indisputable right to lead our lives independently; that we should handle it according to self-imposed rules, rules that we determine ourselves based on good reason.

People back then understood Kant’s message. Why should such an intellectual revolution—triggered by the writings and words of a free thinker—not be able to repeat itself in the future?

Or: the fact that people have not yet learned from bad experience does not mean that they won’t eventually learn from it.

When it comes to thinking about changes for the better, it is important to note that it is not the mass of people that matters, but the individual.

Applied to the conditions in today’s world, among those thinkers who can defeat evil and help the good make a breakthrough are Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, and Hans-Hermann Hoppe—and all those following their teachings and fearlessly disseminating them—as scholars or as fans.

They are—in terms of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings—the companions. They give us the intellectual firepower and the courage to fight and defeat evil.

I don’t know if Ludwig von Mises knew Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. But he was certainly well aware of the struggle between good and evil that continues throughout human history.

In fact, the knowledge of this struggle shaped Mises’s maxim of life, which he took from the verse of the Roman poet Virgil (70 to 19 BC):

“Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito,” which means “Do not give in to evil but proceed ever more boldly against it.”

I want to close my interpretation with a quote from Samwise Gamgee, the loyal friend and companion of Frodo Baggins.

In a really hopeless situation, Sam says to Frodo: “There is something good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”

So if we want to fight for the good in this world, we know what we have to do: we have to fight for property and freedom and against the darkness that the state (as we know it today) wishes to bring upon us, especially with its fiat money.

In fact, we must fight steadfastly for a society of property and freedom!

Thank you very much for your attention!

(*) ... or should I say a century late and a trillion dollars short?
... or should I say a few millenia and a few quadrillion dollars short?

Based in some good part on my experience in the Open Source software development of Linux and other such GNU and Internet software, here's the most likely outcome ... unless that is the Galactic wave of electro-magnetic energy that is now starting to wash over our solar system, as it seems to do every 12,000 years or so, once again upsets the apple cart of the Elite Bastards, the Money Masters, and other such tyrants and evil doers.

A common path has been followed by Open Source projects such as Linux, GNU system software, Web browsers, and other such that we've built on the incredible base of electronic and computer hardware that has arisen in my lifetime (literally -- I was born in the month that Bell Labs announced the transistor to the world, in December of 1947).

In their early conception and development phase, work on these projects was (and now with cryptocurrencies "is") dominated by young, inspired, geeks, working together toward manifesting the technical potential of their new capabilities. They are inspired both by the technology and cooperative freedom. I posted above an excellent example of the mind set and vision of such geeks, in my Post #82 (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?116122-The-Money-Masters-Crises-of-war-plague-and-hunger-Total-central-real-time-control-of-all-money.&p=1455583&viewfull=1#post1455583), in which Charles Hoskinson, of Cardano (ADA), presents what it will take to build a new, robust, global, decentralized, monetary system.

Then, as each major software layer matures and is widely deployed, it is co-opted by major Corporate interests:

Linux (and its cousin BSD Unix) have become the basis for the operating systems in our mobile phones, both iPhone and Android.
Internet software such as the TCP/IP protocols, the DNS name servers and the Internet backbone gateway routers have become the digital backbone of our global communications for mobile phones, computers and "smart" devices (smart meters, Internet of Things, self-driving cars, satellites, ...).
Marc Andreessen's (and others) Mosaic web browser has evolved into Google's Chrome browser and variants. We even have Google being the major funder of the remaining major "independent" competitor, Mozilla's Firefox.

Thus it seems that it shall be with cryptocurrencies.

As cryptocurrencies are built out by the freedom loving geeks (such as Charles Hoskinson, noted above) and globally deployed by Central Banks and major corporations, I expect that they will be integrated into a global regulatory system, managed by the Money Masters.

Privacy coins and unmonitored peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions will be co-opted by the Elite Bastards, as they have trade in drugs, human organs, abducted children, and funding for bribes, blackmail and propaganda. Our Elite Bastards hate competition, and drive any remnants of competition into a few dark alley's, between us deplorables.

The use and and exchange of cryptocurrencies between ordinary individuals and businesses will be on "safe" systems, meaning in part "safe" from rebellious or "criminal", as defined by the elite, (ab)use, and meaning surveilled and controlled and used to leverage more control.

... Or, perhaps as happened some 65 million years ago with the dinosaurs, the dominant creatures of the time will become extinct and some fury little creatures scurrying about in the bushes will come to rule the earth (metaphorically speaking).

Hah - I was in one of those circling planes once, scheduled to land at O'Hara.

The plane I was on ended up being about the only one to land in that hour, while none took off. We landed in hard rain and cross winds, titled at noticeable angle. I'll never know why our pilot chose to land, rather than divert. Perhaps he didn't have a choice for some technical reason that he never shared with the passengers, or perhaps he knew such a landing was well within his skill level. The landing was smooth as silk. All's well that ends well.

May our civilization's landing in this current storm be guided by patriots with similar skill. There is no option to divert. Land we must, come hell or high water.

When Whitney Webb does a deep dive into some topic, it's like going to the dentist for a root canal, and finding out it that it went so deep that it also cured your toenail fungus. :bigsmile:

Over on another thread, Tintin has posted a lengthy article by Whitney Webb that does into the details of global effort by the Money Masters to use a massive, world-wide, attack on the Web, especially on the financial institutions, in order to justify imposing a world-wide mandate requiring all users of the Web to identify themselves, controlling whether any one access anything on the Web, post anything on the Web, or do any financial transaction. As they would also be replacing existing currencies with Central Bank digital currencies, this would move all monetary transactions under their control. For example, websites such as Project Avalon would be brought under the thumb of the tyrants.

This would open the flood gates to mass surveillance, and global tyrannical "social-credit" like control of all humans (except a few elite criminals, no doubt). If you insulted your country's leader, you might be unable to buy a loaf of bread or a bus ticket.

Here's the post:

If the elite evil bastards pull this one off, it would utterly dwarf the tyrannical fallout of something like the Patriot Act that was pushed through the U.S. Congress shortly after 9/11.

This could lock humanity into a global tyranny that would make Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot jealous beyond limit.

Please, read what you can of the above post. Please resist this, however you can. This starts with being aware of the threat, before it happens. Please, scream "Foul!" at the top of your lungs if this goes down as it appears it could.

This would dwarf the damage done to our civilization by the covid scamdemic. It might even be that covid was one of the setup operations, to weaken our social interactions, our economies and our monetary system, in order to setup such Global Monetary and Internet Collapse and Reset, that could enslave humanity in perpetuity.

Humanity's personal freedoms of communication and economic activity must be strengthened, not obliterated. The Money Masters must never have such power over us.

Richard D Hall, of Richplanet.net (https://www.richplanet.ne) has a much more approachable presentation, albeit with far less detail than Whitney Webb (previous post above), of what the Globalists apparently have in mind, for their Grand Monetary Reset, as they convert the world from a system centered on the US Dollar, to a system based on Central Bank Digital Currencies:

The video of his presentation:
http://cdn1.richplanet.net/mp4/287_02.mp4

Here is Richard D Hall's summary of this presentation:

A hidden, unelected global government now has all of the world's visible governments held firmly in a financial headlock. The purpose of the headlock is to bring the world to its knees, so we will have no choice but to accept a global financial solution which may be offered some time in 2021.

The solution is the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies utilising 'smart' money. Smart enough to decide for you what it will be spent on. Artificial 'intelligence' algorithms will be built into your money. However, the algorithms will not be intelligent as claimed, because they will be programmed to believe many falsehoods, such as; climate change is what the government claims it to be. The algorithms will be programmed to believe that the Covid-19 scam is what the government claims it to be. The algorithms will be programmed to believe what the government says about terrorism, and believe what the government says about many other manufactured crises.

Totalitarian politics will be built into the 'intelligence' of your own money. Every time you buy anything, you will be propping up and financing the political ideals of a tyrannical global dictatorship. Welcome to the new monetary system.

A key for me will be how the monetary system transitions.

Either (1) the evil bastards remain in control, and we go to a digitized variant of their debt-money system, or (2) the evil bastards, the money masters, the Babylonian/Phoenician/Venetian/Vatican/Draconian/Satanists go to hell (or wherever is their destiny) and we go to a community based sharing of our common resources, energies, abilities and technologies.

Eric Raymond (open source software hacker par excellence) called these two paradigms The Cathedral and the Bazaar (pdf) (https://monoskop.org/images/e/e0/Raymond_Eric_S_The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar_rev_ed.pdf).

Linux and variants has overwhelmed Microsoft, from mobiles to the network's backbone routers to super computers. Thus I know and lived through the Bazaar model overwhelming the Cathedral model.

Debt issued and backed money, and the associated Law of the Sea (of the Phoenicians) and its control of our governments, courts and major corporations, are hallmarks of the "Cathedral" model.

There is now a considerable tug of war going for control of the "money of the Internet", cryptocurrencies, between the existing financial powers following the Cathedral model, and the rebels following the Bazaar model.

My modest energies and resources are with the rebels.

Most financial commentators I check out are stuck in the debt-money model, and are seeing the current financial/monetary crisis as a replay of the 1970's, when the U.S. ran out of gold to "back" its Dollar and switched to "petro" (and, covertly, drugs, fraud, violence, propaganda, and human trafficking) to "back" its Dollar.

These commentators try to calculate what sort of "new backing" is needed (for what is implicitly debt-issued, debt backed, money) and how much and in what way and how much current excessive debt loads, world wide, private, corporate and government, must be defaulted on, whether via inflating the unit of debt repayment (Dollars and sibling central bank currencies) or by canceling the repayments.

This is not the 1970's revisited that we live in. This is the fall of the Babylonian/Phoenician/Venetian/Vatican/Draconian/Satanists, after their 6000+ year reign over humanity.

That phrase, their 6000+ year reign, might be wrong, big time.

only came to dominance, first in Europe and then expanding its dominance over much of the world, only over the last 500 or so years, rewriting the great Tartarian Empire out of the history books, especially early in their European rise, and pushing other power centers back in ancient history.
The downfall at this time of the Money Masters of "Western Civilization" seems more possible, in the light of such a history as Fomenko presents. Human civilization has risen to great heights before, and may soon again, outside of their dominance.

Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis underscored the urgency of digitizing sovereign money and ensuring universal access to banking services. It pushed two related ideas—the issuance of central bank digital currency and the provision of retail deposit accounts by central banks—to the forefront of the public policy debate. To date, however, the debate has not produced a coherent vision of how democratizing access to central bank money would—and should—transform and democratize the entire financial system. This lack of a systemic perspective obscures the enormity of the challenge and dilutes our ability to tackle it.

This Article takes up that challenge. It offers a blueprint for a comprehensive restructuring of the central bank balance sheet as the basis for redesigning the core architecture of modern finance. Focusing on the U.S. Federal Reserve System (the Fed), the Article outlines a series of structural reforms that would radically redefine the role of a central bank as the ultimate public platform for generating, modulating, and allocating financial resources in a democratic economy—the People’s Ledger.

On the liability side of the ledger, the Article envisions the complete migration of demand deposit accounts to the Fed’s balance sheet and explores the full range of new, more direct and flexible, monetary policy tools enabled by this shift. On the asset side, it advocates a comprehensive qualitative restructuring of the Fed’s investment portfolio, which would maximize its capacity to channel credit to productive uses in the nation’s economy.

We're doing a pretty good job of getting people, around the world, to realize that their government, their news and social media, their medical and pharmaceutical institutions, their energy, their transportation and infrastructure, their police and military, and their academic/scientific institutions, are seriously f**ked up.

That's Step 1 of any 12 step recovery program - honestly admit you're addicted to a harmful substance.

I've long been saying, though sometimes with tenuous connection to the daily events in our lives, that we have to reform our debt-money system, or else reforms of all the other institutions listed above would be a short term palliative.

He who controls the money can just buy it all back.

As Nathan Mayer Rothschild wrote in 1815:


I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls the British money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.

The unfolding events I relate above, of the potential recess appointment of Saule T. Omarova to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, while the U.S. Congress is in recess this December, 2021, along with a global collapse of financial markets, perhaps triggered by both a U.S. Stock market crash (that the Federal Reserve could trigger any time it wants, just by raising the yield on the Ten Year Treasury a few hundred basis points) and a real estate market crash (perhaps growing out of the Evergrande crisis in China's way, way overblown real estate market), followed up by Saule T. Omarova and the Federal Reserve instituting her Marxist wet dreams, could all go a long way to convincing the man on the street (oops - I shouldn't use sexist terms like "man", and it's not clear when and if we're allowed to walk outside on the street during this pandemic - but I digress again) that the financial and fundamental monetary system is really f**ked up. A (further) collapse of critical portions of the economy, such as jobs, food, petro and electricity, would help drive this point home.

In short, we humans need to replace our many centuries old debt-money system, which hands the keys to the kingdom to those who issue the debt. To do this, we need to realize that the debt-money system is evil. Then we can, like Jesus in his day, kick the money changers/lenders out of the temple.

The open question:
Will we be replacing our crack cocaine addiction with a medically prescribed methadone addiction (same drug, different dealer), or will we be replacing it with a healthy life style and energetic organic food?
Or, speaking more directly, rather than in metaphor:
Will we be replacing our debt-money system with a healthier monetary system?

As my Christian friends like to say: In the end, God wins.

Part of me is hoping that Saule Omarova, a dyed in the wool Marxist/Socialist, does become the Comptroller of the Currency, in a recess appointment this December 2021.

This could be the sniper's bullet that takes out the keystone of the power structure that the Evil Elite Bastards have been erecting over humanity these last so many centuries. This could be the "jab" that results in humanity recognizing the evils of, and then dismantling, the Elite's debt-money system.

It is time for the debt-money system of the Money Masters to be discarded in the trash bin of history.

Here's a compellingly real interview with a Money Manager for the Money Masters, Kevin O'Leary, who apparently also stars on some ABC financial reality show called "Shark Tank".

Kevin O'Leary apparently invests many hundreds of billions of dollars, for major investors who require regulatory compliance, which has made it difficult for him to invest in crypto. However the potential returns on crypto are compelling for him, so he been pushing his compliance officer and auditors to accept some crypto investments.

The Big Money is dominated by Black Rock, which is run by Larry Fink. As noted in some other, very recent, articles, such as for example Consumers’ Research: BlackRock and the Chinese Communist Party (https://www.disclose.tv/consumers-research-blackrock-and-the-chinese-communist-party/), BlackRock is dominated by the CCP, and Black Rock has been imposing "ESG" (Environment, Social and Government) requirements on all the companies that it invests in. BlackRock is the elephant in the room when it comes to investing in large corporations, so if Larry Fink requires it, big corporations comply - period.

So if the CCP money that dominates BlackRock requires BlackRock to push an agenda, BlackRock does so, and hence most major corporations do so.

"ESG" is highly compatible with the agenda I see pushed by Social Justice Warriors and Global Warming Climate Change alarmists. "Guy" over at the "Coin Bureau" explains "ESG" quite well, including why it creates a serious problem for independent crypto currencies and investors, who don't want to be under the thumb of Big Money, Big Brother, regulation, government and central bank money. See here for Guy's explanation of ESG: Bitcoin’s MASSIVE Risk!! Why ESG Threatens BTC!! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVxiFEzCp2U)

So:

The Money Masters gained control of China.
China went to the top of the industrial production heap in recent decades, with trillions of dollars of profit to invest.
China funds the biggest Western investment firm, Black Rock.
China pushed Black Rock, who then pushed major Corporations, to adopt "ESG" policies.
These policies have weakened Western industry, energy corporations, and economy.
Score another win for the Money Masters, as we enter the biggest "reset" in history.

So, if I haven't lost you after that convoluted introduction, here is Kevin O'Leary's interview. It provides, unwittingly in my view, an inside look into the thinking of an articulate, well funded, insider in the midst of this Big Money Game:

Richard D Hall, of Richplanet.net (https://www.richplanet.ne) has a much more approachable presentation, albeit with far less detail than Whitney Webb (previous post above), of what the Globalists apparently have in mind, for their Grand Monetary Reset, as they convert the world from a system centered on the US Dollar, to a system based on Central Bank Digital Currencies:

Link to his web page for this presentation:
https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=287&part=2&gen=99


Here is Richard D Hall's summary of this presentation:

A hidden, unelected global government now has all of the world's visible governments held firmly in a financial headlock. The purpose of the headlock is to bring the world to its knees, so we will have no choice but to accept a global financial solution which may be offered some time in 2021.

The solution is the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies utilising 'smart' money. Smart enough to decide for you what it will be spent on. Artificial 'intelligence' algorithms will be built into your money. However, the algorithms will not be intelligent as claimed, because they will be programmed to believe many falsehoods, such as; climate change is what the government claims it to be. The algorithms will be programmed to believe that the Covid-19 scam is what the government claims it to be. The algorithms will be programmed to believe what the government says about terrorism, and believe what the government says about many other manufactured crises.

Totalitarian politics will be built into the 'intelligence' of your own money. Every time you buy anything, you will be propping up and financing the political ideals of a tyrannical global dictatorship. Welcome to the new monetary system.

A few weeks ago, happyuk posted another presentation by Richard D Hall over on the COVID thread that presents these same conclusions in a clear and compelling manner

Here is what happyuk posted:

New presentation from Richard D. Hall discussion the real motive behind the lockdowns and restrictions:


Was the prime short term motive for the Scamdemic (fake pandemic) a fiscal measure, to do with the restructuring of the global economy? In part two I present the findings of two separate scientific groups that have analysed the contents of COVID-19 vaccines and found what looks like nano technology. Can anyone help with further analysis of these damaging vaccines?

https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=292&part=1&gen=99

As with many of these so-called "measures" they invariably negatively impact the pillars of society without touching the parasites.

The first 12 minutes 35 seconds of this video, reposted below, that happyuk posted earlier (https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=292&part=1&gen=99) are a must watch, in my view.

Hall repeats, with passion, his insight that the Pandemic was staged to slow the real economy, the one that provides the goods and services we use, in order to setup a global economic decline, which would (will, soon) lead to a global financial and monetary collapse. The Banksters then intend to introduce a new world monetary system using Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC's), that will then digitize and enable surveillance and control of all our monetary activity.

I entirely agree with Richard D Hall that such a global financial collapse will happen, likely in 2022. The global economy is already wounded and falling, from the Covid lockdown measures and global supply chain disruptions.

What remains to be seen is what monetary system is then introduced, to replace the failed US Dollar as the global reserve currency..

I also entirely agree with Richard D Hall that, if the Central Bankers succeed in this plan, that the central bank controlled digital currencies that they introduce will be the end of human freedom.

Here is that video. Do listen to at least the first 12 minutes, 35 seconds of it.

Here is a transcript of the first 12 minutes, 35 seconds, of the above video from Richard D Hall, for those who prefer to read (and for the record, if and when the above video disappears from the Web):

Welcome to RichPlanet TV. I'm Richard D Hall. A few months back, I interviewed Iain Davis and we discussed what is the likely short term reason why the COVID scam was concocted.

It was concocted to provide and execute, to slow down global economic activity by enforcing lockdowns and then pump money concocted out of thin air into the economy, mostly into the financial markets via furlough payments and business support packages.

It was necessary to slow the real economy down in preparation for the coming financial collapse. Most of the new money could then be sucked past the real economy and into the financial markets. These two global fiscal measures, lockdown and furlough, were implemented in order to prevent the global financial markets from collapsing or imploding, which would have triggered an unprecedented global recession.

In 2019, they said they wanted to delay an inevitable global financial crash in order to give themselves more time to give themselves more time in order to devise a new global international monetary and financial system.

The so called pandemic had nothing whatsoever to do with health. It was among other things an economic delaying tactic.
https://themooster.net/uploads/default/original/1X/71b51af2e874add049622bb1f940fcd93867d9c8.jpeg
This graph shows the last two global recessions, and though it is for the U.S.A., the trends are common throughout the world. The brown line is GDP Index, which represents how much useful work has been done in the economy by either the total amount of goods and services produced. The blue line represents household Net Worth, or how much people have been rewarded for that work.

So when the blue line exceeds the brown line, it means that the population is living beyond its means and a crash or recession is inevitable so that payback can occur as we see happened in 2003 and 2008, marked by the grey shaded areas. In 2018 we can see on the graph we are living well beyond our means.

So, I have speculated in the next graph what could have happened if COVID fiscal measures of lockdown and furlough had not been introduced in 2020. We could have had a financial collapse or a recession on a massive scale. However, this didn't actually happen
https://themooster.net/uploads/default/original/1X/d17944553acbd0bb5351a651d040deae07118d27.jpeg
Let's see what did happen.

We see that GDP spiked negatively due to lockdown measures, but the net worth increased due to furlough payments. The financial collapse was averted, but now we see that the lines are even further apart, which means that the crash that is coming is going to be even bigger than what it would have been. "They've kicked the can furher down the road," I heard one commentator say.

Something that I learned from Iain Davis is just how huge and important the financial markets are to the real economy. By "real economy", I mean the economy that actually produces goods and services that we use in our daily lives.

But you see, there is another part of the economy which has really nothing to do with the work and labor involved in providing goods and services. It's called the financial market.

Just as you might go to the food market to buy food, an investor goes to the financial market to buy things to do with finance, currency, shares, commodities, bonds, derivatives, futures, etc, etc. The vast majority of the public don't directly take part in these markets and much of the financial market activity is not necessarily needed in order for people to provide themselves with goods and services.

But the problem is that the global financial markets in terms of their financial size are several times greater than the real economy. These markets are full of billionaires who don't do any real work and live off the sweat and toil of work in the real economy.

The financial markets are to an extent a leach which the real economy is connected to, which means that if the financial markets crash, the real economy will crash.

So the fiscal measures introduced during lockdown slowed down the real economy while injecting cash to prop up the precarious financial markets which postponed an inevitable global financial collapse.

I asked Iain Davis about the increase in inflation and whether he thinks that this could be the start of a major global financial collapse.

He said:


For the Global Public Private Partnership (GPPP) the financial markets are a source of power, via wealth and debt, but also a mechanism of control for what you and I might call the "real economy." Let's just call it the economy.

Our economy is reliant upon credit. Businesses must have access to it and everything else stems from business activity. Employment, consequently tax revenue, investment in public services, the whole shebang. Even employment in public services is dependent upon private activity (business) and all of this is dependent upon the flow of finance.

As we go up the debt chain, the sums get progressively larger with each corporation and investor being both richer and exposed to more financial risk. So, if at the top of this debt moutain big players start to default (Evergrande for example) there is a cascading, domino effect that progressively shuts down credit lines with each investor trying to limit there haircut, until the whole system grinds to a halt: Economic collapse which effects the proles but not the parasite class whose relative share of wealth always increases during such processes.

That process began in 2019 with the repo market collapsed. They were not ready to roll out Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC's), which is clearly the objective alongside seizing the "global commons" (all of Earth's resources), or to restructure the International Monetary Financial System (IMFS) which they acknowledged was already dead. Whether the collapse of the Repo Market was deliberate or not is hard to say, but it certainly set the ball rolling. Going direct could then go into full flow with the "pandemic" and the transformation could begin.

CBDC is probably going to be a form of fiat currency but let's call the money we use everyday "fiat currency" just to make the distinction. What is clear is that the money as we currently understand it (fiat currency) is not in their game plan. Hence the quantitative eashign (QE) to keep the economy afloat while they got their ducks lined up. The economy was given subsistence money while the vast bulk of it was funnelled into the markets to protect their ponzi scheme and enrich themselves further. Hence the huge increase in billionaire wealth.

They don't quite have CBDC lined up yet, but are rapidly moving towards it. They don't care about the economy in its current form or fiat currency. It was always a means to an end but now the end is the means.

If they hadn't pumped out vast Quantitative Easing (QE) there would have been major civil unrest, we would probably be in a global civil war (or at least in the western democracies) right now. As a result of QE we get mass inflationary pressure and a global Cantillon effect (rampant inflation temporarilly staved off by furlough and business support packages etc combined with artificially suppressed interest rates.)

Now all that is coming to an end. As Carne said at Jackson Hole "the centre cannot hold."

Again the pandemic comes to the rescue. Now the inflation and disruption to supply chains are due to the "pandemic" not the efforts of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and Blackrock to save their economic power and authority. As Small to Medium Enterprises (SME's) collapse and unemployment soars it can all be blamed upon the "pandemic."

If we look at the proposed design for CBDC it is clear they want total control over every transaction (programmable money - technocracy - social credit) but have no intention of letting go of usury. They propose two forms of CBDC. Wholesale (base money) and retail (broad money.) So they are intent upon maintaining that aspect of their monetary control too.

The collapse is coming. That is inevitable. In fact is it necessary to finalise their transformation. The key is interest rates. While they are forced low and the QE continues, the situation will detiorate more gradually. But I suggest when they let go of the base rate that will be the signal that they are ready and a global economic collapse is set. It will be swift. I think it will be next year or 2023.


Thank-you, Iain Davis.

The new monetary system that they are going to introduce, to replace the existing system, if it's done the way they want it, mark my words, will bring about the end of human freedom.

I repeat. The new monetary system that they are going to introduce to replace the existing system, if it's done the way they want, will bring about the end of human freedom.

Programmable money might sound like a cool new innovation. No, it isn't, cause who do you think is going to be designing the program for the programmable money?

Who? Answer me. Who's going to design the program? Not you! Not even your government! It will be designed by the greediest richest people on the planet, the central bankers.

The greediest unelected **** bags are going to be able to control every aspect of your money, well, their money, because it won't actually be your money. Their computer program, which will effectively be an integral part of your money will control, in real time, how much you can spend, what you can spend it on, where you can spend it, when you can spend it, and how much you can or can't have.

All forms of programmable money must be rejected. It will bring about the end of human freedom. We must inform everyone how dangerous this move is. When they launch it, it's going to seem great. Initially they will make it better than cash. They will reward you for using it, so that cash seems inferior. But they will only be doing this to encourage people to stop using cash, so they can easily remove all of the cash from the economy, which is planned to happen around 2025.

Once all the cash is gone, that's when the computer program within your money will change. That's when the ever increasing loss of freedom using programmable money will start, once the cash is gone.

Programmable money is a dictator's dream. It's only beneficial to whoever is writing the computer program and that is not going to be you!

[ThePythonicCow]

I disagree with one part of Richard D Hall's above analysis.

He sees no option to who might be writing the programs behind our future digital currencies.

I see two forms of digital money - the free and open cryptocurrencies such as are rapidly growing now, which allow direct transactions between any two parties, without any central bank to surveil or control them, and central bank digital currencies (CBDC's) which run on and are controlled by central banks and if they can become the dominant player, allow enslaving humanity by surveilling and controlling every monetary transaction.

I expect that the winner of the War we are now engaged in, between humanity and the Evil Elite Bastards, will determine which form of digital money prevails. I am hopeful, but it can be difficult to win a war against such a powerful and entrenched enemy (enemy of human freedom) if humanity doesn't even know they are at war.

P.S. -- I just noticed that this video of Richard D Hall is right on topic for this thread, as you can see from this thread's title "The Money Masters; Crises of war, plague and hunger; Total central real-time control of all money." Richard D Hall, his guest Iain Davis, and myself have come to similar conclusions, and a similar warning.

[ThePythonicCow]

I expect that the winner of the War we are now engaged in, between humanity and the Evil Elite Bastards, will determine which form of digital money prevails. I am hopeful, but it can be difficult to win a war against such a powerful and entrenched enemy (enemy of human freedom) if humanity doesn't even know they are at war.
But will these details matter soon, if the earth's crust shifts some 90 degrees, flooding most of the land of the earth, as we're discussing over at REALiTY CHeCK with Jay Weidner (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?108337-REALiTY-CHeCK-with-Jay-Weidner&p=1461257&viewfull=1#post1461257)?

The anticipation of such a devastation happening soon, say in the next few years or decades, might explain why the Elite of the world are in such a hurry.

Welcome to RichPlanet TV. I'm Richard D Hall. A few months back, I interviewed Iain Davis and we discussed what is the likely short term reason why the COVID scam was concocted.


Here is Richard D Hall's interview, in four parts, of Iain Davis that Richard was referring to:
Pseudopandemic, New Normal Technocracy: Part 1 (https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=290&part=1&gen=99)
Pseudopandemic, New Normal Technocracy: Part 2 (https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=290&part=2&gen=99)
Pseudopandemic, New Normal Technocracy: Part 3 (https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=290&part=3&gen=99)
Pseudopandemic, New Normal Technocracy: Part 4 (https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=290&part=4&gen=99)

Here is Richard D Hall's description of this interview:

In August 2019, 4 months before a global pandemic was reported, the world's banking moguls discussed the need for a "new" IMFS (International Monetary and Financial System). This included the need for a new global reserve currency to replace the dollar. The current system they said has a growing asymmetry which is creating increased instability (it is nearly dead). They proposed that the old (current) monetary system should be propped up with short term stimulus in the form of "helicopter money" (ie targeted furlough payments), and that economic activity should be reduced (ie lockdown measures). These measures were necessary to sustain the financial markets and prevent mass global unemployment, which would buy themselves some time to plan and implement the new IMFS they had been planning since the 2008 financial crisis crash. The global fake pandemic was a fiscal measure, as the central bankers started "going direct", serving their own interests and those of the global public private partnership network they work with; it had nothing to do with public health. The new IMFS will provide the perfect backbone to administer a new global technocracy, which could easily restrict human freedom far beyond the perceptions of a largely "sleep walking" public. Iain Davis, author of "Pseudopandemic" talks about his new book which explores the unthinkable and delivers a damning indictment of global corruption.
As with some other posts above, this one too could go on threads discussing the COVID-19 scamdemic, here on this Money Masters thread, or on one of the cryptocurrency threads.

This is because Iain (correctly in my view) finds the scamdemic to be a major operation by the Elite Bastards to enslave humanity, in part by resetting our monetary system to centrally managed digital currencies. This operation first slowed down global economic activity, by such methods as the covid lockdowns and supply chain attacks, while using large financial payouts and manipulation to keep the global financial markets from crashing. Soon, with a rise in interest rates on debt, including on British gilts and US Treasury Bonds, the financial system, such as major stock markets will be crashed. Then the CBCD's will (by this plan) come to the "rescue".

This interview is a good overview of Iain's 400+ page book Pseudopandemic: New Normal Technocracy (https://www.amazon.com/Pseudopandemic-Normal-Technocracy-Iain-Davis/dp/B097CZ3K7K), which

Lays out the history, so far of the scamdemic,
Finds the origins of the scamdemic in a globalist operation to enslave humanity,
Where Central Bank Digital Currencies are a key mechanism of that enslavement.

It turns out that Iain Davis provides this book, as a pdf, available for free, via a torrent download, off the webpage:

I copied this book to my website, as well, if that's more convenient, at:

Pseudopandemic: New Normal Technocracy (pdf) (http://thepythoniccow.us/Pseudopandemic - New Normal Technocracy - Iain Davis.pdf)

The final chapter in this book, Chapter 28, from pages 388 to 400, provides an excellent explanation of the difference between the distributed cryptocurrencies that allow direct exchange of value across the Internet using a trustless (no one or few parties can surveil or control transactions of any particular individual),and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC's), that place all trust and control in a central institution.

Iain Davis understands his crypto. I've not reviewed the main part of his book, on the Pseudopandemic itself and the manner in which the Deep State behind it operates, but from what I've seen of his interview with Richard D Hall, he understands that well too, and provides a wealth of referenced detail.

Who's driving the hundreds of billions of dollars that control Big Pharma, Gates, Fauci, the CDC, the Federal Government, ... involvement in the Covid PlanScamDemic?

Blackrock, Larry Fink, and the New York Fed.

A century ago, the Money Masters gained control of the US Dollar and its banking system with the establishment of the Federal Reserve.

For this last century, the major commercial banks have lent retail money into existence, as they lent money to individuals, businesses, and governments.

Meanwhile the Fed created more Dollars, to fund the commercial banks. In times of economic slowdown, the Fed would lower interest rates on the money it lent to the commercial banks, in order to stimulate, indirectly, more lending to the rest of us from those commercial banks. Any other nation that refused to establish a co-operating central bank was bombed to colonial status, a failed nation.

With the financial crisis of 2008, the Fed was reaching the limit of how low it could drive interest rates, so it started "going direct", directly buying distressed assets, such as failing mortgage backed securities, from the commercial banks.

Then in September 2019, just _before_ the covid pandemic, the Fed and Blackrock announced at their annual Jackson Hole meeting that they would have to increase their "direct" involvement in money creation, when ever the next crisis hit. Lo and behold, surprise, surprise, the next crisis arrived right on queue, three weeks later, with the Repo Market Crisis (https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/what-happened-in-money-markets-in-september-2019-20200227.htm), to be followed by the covid pandemic in early 2020, and assorted other political and economic crises.

Now the Fed will continue to stoke one crisis after another, pushing more and more individuals, businesses and governments into financial ruin and panic, so that they can "come to the rescue", not with lower interest rates on sovereign debt and inter-bank over-night loans (as they had done for a century, but can no longer do with interest rates now close to zero), but with direct involvement in providing money to desperate individuals, businesses, and governments.

The Fed is changing their role (in part by means of their ability to fund crises) from being the banker's banker, to being everyone's banker.

This will culminate in central bank digital currencies (CBDC's). In a few years, cash will be obsolete (hard for the Fed to track and control what I spend a dollar bill on), replaced by CBDC's. If the Fed decides that I am eating too much bacon and cheese on my Keto diet, then it would be able to immediately in real time decline my purchase of a bacon-cheeseburger and milk shake at McDonald's (or the organic equivalent ingredients at Sprout's).

The Fed will become everyone's banker, tracking and controlling every use of money, down to the allowance a parent gives a child and what the child spends that allowance on.

I have no doubt (</sarcasm>) the Fed will only use that control for the better of us all, and won't ever consider throttling my spending if I say something mean about them on some social media platform.

Bitcoin and current digital currencies are a warm up act for this, that reward geeks to develop the technology required for this.

Larry Fink (Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Blackrock) and his ilk want absolute total control, and they are on a path to get it.

This Battle Royale between the people and the Money Masters has been ongoing for all of recorded history.

William Jennings Bryan's famous Cross of Gold speech at the Democratic. National Convention in Chicago, in July 1896, was a milestone in that battle, when "the people's money", silver, was still being fought for by the common man in America. The Yellow Brick Road in the Wizard of Oz was this path of gold that the New York Money Masters were driving us down, and Dorothy's silver slippers (changed to Red slippers in the movie) were the common man's silver.

Bryan won the Democrat nomination, after several ballots, but lost the general election to William McKinley. The gold standard prevailed and silver was demonetized, sending many midwest farmers into bankruptcy when they couldn't get enough gold to pay their mortgages and bank debt. The many independent banks, issuing their own currencies, were consolidated after the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. The Money Masters controlling the Fed then gained direct control over wholesale banking in the United States.

Now, with the developing digital currencies, working in real time over the Internet, the Money Masters are extending their control to real-time control, down to the smallest transaction, at the retail level.

As then, still now, wars, plagues, depressions, political collapse and other major disasters are used by the Money Masters to "shake the current system loose", so that they can reconstitute it in a manner more suiting to their lust for absolute control.

(Thanks to Jim Willie, in his latest Hat Trick Letter, for pointing out to me this fine video by John Titus, on his BestEvidence Youtube channel, which explains some of the above: Larry & Carstens' Excellent Pandemic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOEvurCVuk))


Thanks for this and the education....

Like many (most?) people understanding economics and all it's off shoots is not my forte...

But I've watched the Larry and Carstens Excellent Pandemic video linked to above twice and I feel I have a better handle on what's going on now....

Information explaining about the two circuits and how they are being merged into one for the Central Banks to take complete control of all financial transactions with the CBDC was enlightening -

But very concerning because it does spell the end of freedom of the individual and ushers in totalitarianism...

It's like a modern global version of the Token System that rich factory owners ran during the industrial Revolution where they paid their workers in tokens that could only be spent in their shops - or used to pay rent in their properties.....

Nothing new under the sun.... same old same old (corruption and betrayal)...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Clearly there must be an alliance behind closed doors of the powerful groups like eugenicists - climate change alarmists - Big Parma etc..... all going in one direction and using the Pandemic Hoax as the cover (as John Titus says in the video...)

Not sure how we are going to be able to stop this before we are all enslaved into an AI run Totalitarian State - but they are dependent on technology and Smart Phones and 5G...?

When I was making my mind up how to vote in the Brexit Referendum I always came back to the fact and simplified argument that the more centralized power is .... the less power the individual has....and the less power the individual has the more open to abuse the system is - the fewer checks and balances there are...

What's happening now with the path to One World Government - the Central Bankers Digital Currency - using Medical Tyranny as a cover and all that's comes in the slip stream of the New World Order - like destroying culture and tradition... keeping people in a permanent state of fear ..... is Centralized Power and abuse of power like never seen before....and is a very dangerous state of affairs...

Rocky Road ahead...

see: Blackrock is buying up US homes like no tomorrow (https://strangesounds.org/2021/07/blackrock-is-buying-up-us-homes-like-no-tomorrow-real-estate-market-housing.html) to read just one of multiple articles revealing their actions

the actions these nefarious characters take are always as an adversarial position against humanity. BUT it isn't feasible for them to BUY EVERY single home in actuality.

The Money Masters are liquidating major asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate.

"Liquidating" for you and me means selling something for cash when you need the cash, such as Zillow is doing.

"Liquidating" for the agents of the Money Masters, such as Blackrock, the New York Fed and the Treasury means buying stuff up for cash, to keep the market prices up so long as they want.

Then, when that time comes to (1) start raising Treasury Bill interest rates, leading to (2) the "Mother of all crashes", they will own the stuff, the real estate and the corporations and the nations, whose real assets they bought, and the poor bastards who sold to them will either own the cash, that will become worth a lot less, or be head over tea kettle in debt, and have to declare bankruptcy (i.e. - handing over whatever real property or assets they still have back to the banks, for nothing in return.)

We will own end up nothing that is held with leverage, with debt, margin, liens, mortgages or bonds. Whether or not we're happy is our call, not theirs.

The Money Masters shorten that to "We will own nothing and be happy." But their idea of what we own is measured using their debt-money measuring stick, and their connection with their soul is absent, or at least not visible to me.

=== ===

So if you have a piece of real estate that you own free and clear, with little or no debt, and if you have a good use for that real estate, hang on to it. Pay no mind to what the website zillow.com says it's worth that week.

Real Estate prices, just like stocks and bonds, are for the most part no longer representative of the real value of the underlying real asset (land, buildings, factories, mines, roads, railroads, bridges, ...). Rather Real Estate prices are for the most part a reflection of (1) the 40+ year decline in Treasury Bill interest rates, from Volcker's spike to nearly 20%, around 1979, down to nearly 0% now, and (2) the rise in typical cash flows (aka inflation). The lower the interest rate and the greater their nominal income, the more people, businesses and governments can borrow, on a given available cash flow to make the debt payments.

Real Estate has a reputation of "always going up" amongst the youngsters (and as hyped by real estate agents trying to make a sale and push their percentage commissions higher and and higher) because T-Bill interest rates have been declining fairly steadily since 1980, while nominal incomes from jobs, taxes and whatever have been rising more than not.

That's ending. The tide is turning. I thought it had turned for good back in 2008, and got out of substantial (as a proportion of my net worth) real estate holdings back then. I did not anticipate this double peak, happening now, so never got back into real estate with the expectation of making a capital gains profit since. That's ok - one can't expect to call them all.

Measure your net worth by what useful stuff or property or businesses that you own, by the health and well being of your body, mind and soul, by what you know, and by the friends, family and community you have, not by whatever $US value any of this has this week. Keep some slack in your cash flow needs, and stay out of debt that you can't pay off next month, so you don't get your nuts caught in a credit or cash flow squeeze vise, like Zillow did.

One can also probably include "real" money assets in one's current balance sheet, such as the precious metals and cryptocurrencies that one physically holds. If the world doesn't totally "blow up" (as with a polar shift of the earth's crust or some such) then these assets should retain or even gain nicely their real, useful value that can be extracted later, when one chooses to get some actual property, good or service.

Well, not all cryptocurrencies will survive the crash. The meme coins (DOGE, SHIB, and the NFT's ... I'm talking to you) and perhaps 90% of even the coins that endeavor to have a practical use, risk going to zero, as did 90% of the dot.com stocks in the crash around 2000. But there's some future Amazon's and Google's in there too.

One final warning: I am not a financial advisor. If you could see all the major calls I missed, you'd probably choose to do the exact opposite of what I just suggested, above. :bigsmile:

Exactly. Real Estate prices are off the charts, and the banks are loaning, loaning, loaning - with sometimes little down payment. The banks are keeping the interest rates low as the enticement and the ratio of your monthly earnings to your monthly payment has decreased. I believe folks are being setup to fail, just as they were before the 2008 debacle. When it happens, and it will in my estimation, foreclosures will be off the charts.

And guess what! all the houses that BlackRock owns will not be rented to you cheap. As it is affordable rentals are hard to find. We have many folks here in California who are living full-time in RV's which they can't afford to drive, just find a place to park and stay there. Which sounds okay, but cities are making those parking spots harder to find. RV parks with hookups are usually $30/night or more. Not affordable to many.

I agree w/Paul. My suggestion is: If you live in a house w/a mortgage, sell it and buy down. i.e. a smaller house with no or less payment, particularly something where you can grow some veggies. You don't need much land. Look into what they did in Cuba. They learned to grow vertically.

Sell them what they want and then blow them up is how it works.

It may be late in the game to do that. Real Estate takes time to buy and sell. If I were doing that now, I'd be very careful to "keep one (financial) foot on solid ground", at every step of the way. Be prepared for dramatic financial news, that could block further transactions, without notice.

Not necessarily. I was an escrow officer for many years. (For those that don't know, in California, that's who handles real estate transactions. Escrow officers work for title companies who do the property searches.)

Anyhow, what's happening right now in our area is that folks from the San Francisco Bay area are selling their houses for a million plus and then moving up here where they can buy a smaller, but still quite nice home for half or 2/3rds what they got in the Bay Area. Many houses in our area are being bought - All Cash. In an all cash escrow you can easily close in 15 to 30 days.

Then many folks in our area are taking the profit they received from the Bay Area folks and moved out of state where they can buy a house for far less. This is the first year in California where more people are moving out of state than those moving in. I'm in a small square dance group (approx 40 people) Out of 40 people, so 20 couples, 4 couples have recently moved out of state.

I agree with you. That's how it works. It works well. The specific moment that title and funding are exchanged by the escrow agent is well defined and reliable.

I am concerned that there may be major (massive) financial, monetary, banking hiccups that could disrupt the normal practices you describe, with us coming out the other side with significant changes that alter what makes sense financially for a particular person's situation, who is involved in two such transactions, selling one home and buying another.

Bix Weir, of the RoadToRoota, makes an excellent point in this video:

rf3WHMGEshg
At the 10:24 mark of the above, referring, as I've done above, to the quadrillions of rehypothecated, securitized, derivated, fraudulent monetary assets that have been built on top of the current monetary basis, like an inverted Tower of Babel, Bix Weir says:



So there's a reason they're doing this.
I believe it's to take down the cabal,
the bad guys, the criminals, and that
would mean the total destruction.

I don't know when how and if. I do know
if at some point the old system has to
go away because otherwise the bad guys
are in charge because they have all of
this fiat money. You want to get rid of
the rothschilds and the rockefellers, you
remove unbacked fiat monetary system and
poof your wealth is gone.

You want to get rid of the pedophiles and
the clintons and all that? Poof, their
money's gone.

They are highly invested in the old system,
not even invested that's the vast majority
of their wealth and there's no way to take
it away because they have it hidden
properly. The way to do it is to destroy
the value of that holding to zero.
All the talk about the Quantum Financial System and other such names for redistributing the tens or hundreds of trillions of US Dollars worth of financial assets in the world is nonsense. For those "financial assets" are nonsense.

They are fraudulent games concocting claims upon claims upon claims, leveraged up hundreds and thousands of times. There is no there there, no real supply of resources, goods and services exists within the reach of humanity at this time that is worth that much, at anything like today's prices.

We can't make everyone on the planet wealthy distributing what we don't have and can't get in the foreseeable future.

Promises, promises, promises, made to pathological liars, thieves, mass murders, child traffickers, slave traders, and drug and gun runners.

Destroy their fraudulent promises. That destroys their leverage over us. They become paupers at best. Some become prisoners. Some leave this life, unwillingly.

P.S. -- The background image for the above Youtube video shows a price chart suddenly jumping sharply up. That's the spot price of silver, some twenty hours ago now, jumping up about one full US Dollar per troy ounce, about the time that the Evergrande bankruptcy news went public.

Destroy the fraudsters by

Here's where it's going.

The Banksters have been planning, since the 1988 Economist cover, for a One World Currency.


https://themooster.net/uploads/default/original/1X/086290fe5a09cc2a5f19610b206fe662d1691f2f.jpeg

Not surprisingly, individual nations and regions that had their own Central Banks, which gave them some leverage to control interest rates and currency "printing", were not interested in cooperating on this endeavor.

So the Banksters used their central leverage over these Central Banks to pump up the debt, leverage, derivatives and other financial shenanigans so high that they could collapse much of the power of each nation and major corporation, and so that they could put enough stress on the people of the world that they would be ready for a "New Deal", a major currency reset.

My dream (which I always suspected was an unobtainable pipe dream) that the Banksters and their debt-money would be removed, will not happen. Rather, in coming years, all nations, corporations and individuals will be using currencies based on a common core. That core won't be gold, but rather Bitcoin. The Banksters are likely the ones who started Bitcoin, and may well be the ones who hold the 616 BTC (https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/bitcoin-wallet-satoshi-nakamoto-mystery-btc-b1924606.html) that are in bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, and which have not traded since about 2010.

Bitcoin will be adding some more refinements to its mining network, such as "taproot" (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/short-bitcoin-taproot-explainer) coming early in 2022, which will further improve its performance, efficiency, and privacy, and make it a better foundation layer for applications for various purposes and audiences.

Bitcoin will become the foundation protocol for money, rather like TCP/IP is for the Internet, replacing or marginalizing all the other alt-coins that have their own "blockchain" (or other such distributed ledger) core protocol, just as TCP/IP has displaced most uses of other low level network protocols, except in specialized uses. Also, like TCP/IP, the bitcoin infrastructure and protocols end up being distributed in use, and only upgradeable by a broad consensus. No proprietary or nationally controlled system would have been widely adopted and accepted, world-wide.

The Big Banks, stock market bubbles, debt and derivative bubbles, and other such fraud that have siphoned what seems like quadrillions of dollars of money out of the current US Dollar based system will take a truly massive hit. Markets will crash. Some, perhaps many banks, will have to close, perhaps temporarily, perhaps permanently. Cryptocoin Exchanges will also get hit, as their primary business model involves scraping off the margin in trades between cryptocurrencies and national currencies such as the dollar.

The Banksters will be the last man standing, after these crashes, and will have the upper hand in determining the next monetary system.

They could not go back to a gold based monetary system because there is many more times gold secretly stored in vaults around the world than publicly recognized, and many more times than that more unmined gold in the Grand Canyon. This Grand Canyon gold has been known about since the early 1900's, and may have been one of the motivators to move temporarily from gold backed currencies, via the fiat US Dollar, to some base currency that they could limit the supply of.

Nations won't have the central keys to this monetary kingdom. The gnomes in Switzerland (BIS, ...), aka the Banksters, will have it. Even the Rothschilds and Rockefellers won't have a seat at the table. Their wealth will be part of what collapses, and their fraud has put them at risk of "early retirement", "suicide", and such. They weren't about to cooperate in a system that removed their wealth, so they had to be pushed aside.

So national political agendas will be difficult to enforce at the core level, just as TCP/IP works world-wide. However the applications layered on top of Bitcoin will be numerous, sometimes forced on a nation's people, and sometimes be more easily manipulated for their own "social, political, and economic engineering" purposes.

The Banksters care not who makes the laws. They care who makes and lends the money. They will. The core system will initially be surprisingly secure, robust and private, from the perspective of all ordinary people, corporations and nations using it. It will be essentially deflationary, not inflationary, as the permanent upper limit on Bitcoin mining caps the supply, as some Bitcoin wallet keys are forever lost over time shrinking what's left, and as all the monetary and economic activity using it increases demand for it.

It's a nice job if you can get it, being the central source of the world's currency, with no risk of anyone else printing or mining more. This "solves" the problem that the Banksters had with gold, with too many others holding it, and with large quantities more being found, in such places as the Grand Canyon.

Nations, corporations, and individuals will still make broad use of borrowing money, but unable to pump the supply of their money to lessen the burden of repaying the debt. There is nothing more that Banksters like, besides being the creators of all money, than being the source of lending to one and all.

The American Empire, funded by the currency that became the dominant currency in the world at Bretton Woods, near the end of World War II, will be the Last Empire. The Federal Reserve, US Dept of Treasury, and New York Fed will be the last monetary center to be nationally focused.

The above Economist cover of 1988 anticipated this becoming visible in 30 years, in 2018. They are a little behind schedule, but not by much. Apparently it has taken the Banksters a bit longer than expected to crush the Big Money and National interests that are going to lose their central role.

The final inspiration for the above comes thanks to some videos on Bix Weir's RoadToRoota Patreon channel (https://www.patreon.com/RoadtoRoota/posts), though he doesn't say it quite like this, and likely would disagree with some of this.

I only have the head space to randomly dip into your threads about money / bankers and whatnot -

But thanks because they are choc a bloc with info...

anyway...

this may have come up before but it's to do with the very basics of this new CBDC system -

it is said that something is only as strong as it's weakest link and because the whole digital currency is dependent on the smart phones / mobile masts / 5G network + centres / internet etc -

doesn't this make it vulnerable to attack... either by other countries - acts of terrorism - or disgruntled protesters -

If it could be hacked or it's network physically damaged then society could be brought to a stand still easily -

Is any internet based system un~hackerble ...

They are creating this huge system and installing it but could it be a paper tiger, at the end of the day...

Or am I just wishful thinking... :)

A global base monetary utility and protocol could be quite resistant to "social, political, and economic engineering", and quite resilient to fraud and outages, just as the TCP/IP protocol has been for our Internet. Something like the core Bitcoin blockchain protocol is actually more resilient than TCP/IP, because the critical data is well encrypted, end-to-end. Computer Scientists have a long history of being able to design such small, single purpose, mechanisms that are quite robust, if and when such robustness is a primary objective of their work, and they can spend enough time and cooperative effort on the problem.

The stuff that goes on top of it ... that's a vastly more complex and "is it a feature or is it a bug" issue, driven mostly by other primary objectives.

This makes possible something like the Bitcoin core protocol, as a means for a distributed, robust and redundant storage of a series of cryptographically signed transactions with inputs and outputs to and from accounts (wallets) with cryptographically strong identifiers. This appears to be very strong, like gold has been in the physical world, perhaps even stronger.

Making a core monetary system based on such a protocol world-wide reduces, but doesn't eliminate, the leverage that individual nations have on the value of their money. Just as a nation can "ban" gold for personal use, such as FDR did in the US in 1933, or can "ban" crypto, as China apparently just did in some manner, that doesn't destroy the long term value of those tokens, even to people subject to the "ban".

Nations, and "bad actors" (but I might be repeating myself) will no doubt retain their ability to hack the large body of network and computer technology built on top of such core protocols as TCP/IP and blockchains. I don't know a solution to that problem. But at least it will be more difficult to destroy a nation by destroying the value of its core currency, and, more pertinent here, it will make it less likely that nations will quite predictably destroy their own currency, the first time they try to inflate their way out of an insufferable pile of debt.

If individual nations each had their own digital currency, controlled by their own national central banks (which is what I take "CBCD" to mean) then that opens up another major vector for attack. I don't favor such a solution of multiple, national CBCD's, based on some nationalized blockchain (or other such) data structure, for much the same reasons I suspect you don't.

I am of the opinion that our civilization requires functioning and robust digital currency, that will stand up over time and across nations, as gold has stood up over the millenia in the physical world. My above post to which you responded was written with the expectation that we can do that, and that this is more or less how we're doing it. The Dollar is dying, as have all nationalized tokens. Nationalized digital currencies would have the same limited shelf life and vulnerabilities.

I was wrong. Taproot is coming next week, as @KianThe1ne says at the 2:00 mark of the following video:



Now November 14th we got the taproot upgrade
which is the biggest upgrade for bitcoin that
we've had since 2017.

Of course we've seen the lightning network
be introduced which is beautiful to bitcoin
recently but essentially the taproot upgrade
is going to help with three things.

It's going to optimize privacy, scalability,
and smart contract functionality.

Here's where it's going.

The Banksters have been planning, since the 1988 Economist cover, for a One World Currency.

... ...The Banksters care not who makes the laws. They care who makes and lends the money.

The above post remains my favorite post on this thread, so far.

Let me add a refinement to it.

I am expecting that a decentralized Bitcoin becomes the base currency for the next era.

This Bitcoin may actually achieve the core goal of its developers and miners to be an "honest" money, as gold has been in some prior eras. It actually has the potential to be "better than gold", being more difficult to forge, and having a slowly declining supply in circulation, as little more bitcoin will be mined after the next few years, and as existing bitcoin are slowly lost, because their private keys are lost.

If this unfolds this way, then the longstanding integrity of Bitcoin transactions will be quite robust, due to its carefully designed architecture and due to the essential requirement of a number of large miners, situated about the world, making it resistant to influence from not just hackers, but even nation states. It's far more portable than gold, as a single private key can control billions of dollars. Transactions happen in tens of minutes, which is unsuitable for say retail use, but fine for storage. It works not just around the world, but out into the solar system, limited in its reach there by the speed of light.

Given that happens, with Bitcoin, and given that Bitcoin becomes the "new gold", the new foundation asset of our civilization's monetary system, then as I wrote above, I have been concerned that the Banksters might retain their critical leverage over our civilization by retaining their monopoly over primary debt issuance for funding new projects, whether personal, corporate, or national.

Perhaps I should start calling them "Debsters", rather than "Banksters"?

That is, I have been concerned that:


Debt is, and would remain, the One Ring to Rule Them All.

=== ===

On second thought, perhaps not.

Perhaps after we get through this War of plague, hunger, tyranny and collapse, we, as a civilization, as a people, will have an increased awareness of the dangers of the cancer known as long term debt, that depends on risking critical capital (the collateral) and on promising future income (with the assumption that such income will be forthcoming, perhaps years or decades out).

Perhaps most people, corporations and even nations will arrange their affairs so that, at most, only short term debt, that will almost certainly be payable, will be a commonly used tool in managing one's trade and money.

This would be analogous to a crack cocaine dealer and prostitute pimp going out of business, because the people in his community became more honest, moral and productive, leaving their bad habits behind. That dealer and pimp would go from being the "Boss" of his city precinct, to being nobody of note.

Perhaps this is the destiny of the Banksters Debtsters, that they become nobodies, seeking out other lines of work. They wouldn't have to be all rounded up, charged, convicted and imprisoned. A few might, who were particular deserving of such punishment, as part of our learning this lesson. But most of them would be welcome to repent and find a more productive way of participating in life.


Our civilization could be much healthier if this happened,
if significant debt became shunned in our civilization.

May this be part of our future.

Like a recovered alcoholic who has learned not to drink in excess, our civilization, we the people who survive this war, will have learned, and will teach our children unto the tenth generation, not to borrow in excess, thus to stay out of debt bondage.

We would no longer owe our soul to the company store (Tennessee Ernie Ford, 1955).

[ThePythonicCow]

risking critical capital (the collateral) and on promising future income (with the assumption that such income will be forthcoming, perhaps years or decades out).

Debt repayments, whether for individual, corporate or government debt, are a highly regressive form of taxation.

Let me put some numbers to that, and make up a specific example.

Let's say I was earning $100,000 per year, in a good paying job writing software.

Then I take out a mortgage to buy the house I will live in, with payments of $1000 per month, where I expect to also pay $200 per month for real estate taxes and home insurance (that are required to keep the house and to hold the mortgage). I am paying 12 times (1000+200) per year, or $14,400 per year to live in a nice house, on a $100,00 per year income. Nice - life is good.

Then I retire, or I am laid off (for not taking the vax?) or because my employer closed the business (in the vax recession and lockdowns?). My income drops to say $24,000 per year.

I then still owe $24,000 per year (12 months times the 1000 + 200 each month.)

My entire $24,000 per year income must be spent to keep my house, spent on my mortgage, real estate taxes and home insurance. Every single penny of it. I find myself scanning old Avalon posts of people who claimed to be able to live on a diet of air ... breatharians I think they're called.

My state and federal income taxes on that $24,000 per year income drop to more or less zero, but my debt payments (mortgage) and my real estate taxes (which are pegged to the appraised value of that home, which mostly go to pay the debt of the town I live in, and which tend to rise a little each year) don't go down one penny ... more likely go up a little each year.

(Meanwhile, the schools had taught my wife some humanities and psychology, and were teaching my children critical race theory or some such nonsense, so they can't wrap their heads around the above numbers, and are pissed at me because we're broke, hungry, and about to be homeless.)

The Banksters have deep control leverage over the economy.

If they lend out money easily, at low interest rates, more and more is borrowed from their banks.
If they cut off the easy debt-money tap, then real estate collapses, businesses fail, people get laid off, retirement plans fail, ...
When that happens, the Banksters get to collect the collateral from their now bankrupt clients.

This cycle repeats over and over in history. The Banksters get richer and richer, and gain more and more control over the people and their businesses and governments.

But since the news and social media depend on advertisement money from these other businesses, the dominant news and social media end up being the ones that say what they're told to say, and suppress what they're told to suppress, or else they too fail.

Debt, with it's future fixed payment demands, it's enforcement by Bankster controlled legislatures, governors, regulators, judges and prosecutors, and with its required collateral to be confiscated when payments aren't made ... that debt becomes the One Ring to Rule Them All.

[ThePythonicCow]

A global base monetary utility and protocol could be quite resistant to "social, political, and economic engineering", and quite resilient to fraud and outages, just as the TCP/IP protocol has been for our Internet. Something like the core Bitcoin blockchain protocol is actually more resilient than TCP/IP, because the critical data is well encrypted, end-to-end. Computer Scientists have a long history of being able to design such small, single purpose, mechanisms that are quite robust, if and when such robustness is a primary objective of their work, and they can spend enough time and cooperative effort on the problem.

The stuff that goes on top of it ... that's a vastly more complex and "is it a feature or is it a bug" issue, driven mostly by other primary objectives.

This makes possible something like the Bitcoin core protocol, as a means for a distributed, robust and redundant storage of a series of cryptographically signed transactions with inputs and outputs to and from accounts (wallets) with cryptographically strong identifiers. This appears to be very strong, like gold has been in the physical world, perhaps even stronger.

...
I am of the opinion that our civilization requires functioning and robust digital currency, that will stand up over time and across nations, as gold has stood up over the millenia in the physical world. My above post to which you responded was written with the expectation that we can do that, and that this is more or less how we're doing it. The Dollar is dying, as have all nationalized tokens. Nationalized digital currencies would have the same limited shelf life and vulnerabilities.

Here's an informative new video just out, that goes in a bit more depth into the cryptocurrency protocol layers that support the monetary activity of our civilization , and that are:

secure (transactions can't be hacked, or even covertly spied upon),
fast (transactions are nearly instantaneous),
scalable (high volume of transactions), and
peer-to-peer and decentralized (no central core of a few servers.)
This video also reminds of us some similar earlier developments, such as automobiles and the Internet, each of which evolved to meet similar goals.
oc7bNAMitjg
Once again, I am encouraged by how far along this technology is, and by the clarity of the goals of this work.

Digital currency is coming, but it must replace our current Central Bank managed "fiat" (government controlled) currencies. We want a robustly independent monetary system, not a tool used by the Money Masters to once again enslave people, businesses and nations with debt, thereby to surveil and control all their monetary transactions.

[ThePythonicCow]

[ ... cryptocurrency protocol layers that support the monetary activity of our civilization ...

The Distributed Ledger Manifesto
It's not just the money ...

... though the money is an essential part of it.

All our civilization's digitizable communications of our personal selves and our various organizations, the sciences, mathematics, games, history, poetry and literature, commerce, games, politics, laws and regulations, large and small meetings to discuss any of this, ... all the activities that people thought they had to do in "the office" but now find they can do on their kitchen table during some lockdown, ... almost all it can find a fertile "soil" in distributed ledgers.

Most folks my age make fun of the youth walking around with their heads buried in their mobiles, and yes that is a small somewhat sterile porthole into the vast ocean of life, though a few geeks my age have been living "in two worlds", for a long time, in

both the "real" physical world of keyboards, mice, screens, circuit boards, chips, solder, ... and sometimes with sustenance little better than a bag of chips and a Coke ... driving our non-geeky spouses mad,
and in the digitizable world of code, email, posts, of "value exchange" (e.g. online payment and money exchange), and more recently of sound and video clips,

at the same time.

The classical liberal arts education that I got a taste of, when I was getting my math degree at Reed College in the late 1960's, included art, calligraphy, drama, poetry, novels, philosophy, science, mathematics, architecture, history, and other products of the human mind, from hundreds and thousands of years ago. That all exists in easily "digitized" form, in books and papers and photographs, the best way we had at the time to store and convey this material. The mortal coils of Socrates or Keats or Mozart or Nietzsche or Tolstoy are long gone from this earthly plane, but they still "speak" to us directly and richly (well, not so much Mozart in my case, as I'm pretty much tone deaf.)

The elite bastards have maintained "toll booths", guarding the entrances to and decreeing what shall pass and what shall not. Books are burned. Witches are burned at the stake. Rebel nations are drone and landmine bombed back to the stone age. Twitter, Facebook, and Paypal accounts are banned, and their contents and transactions are censored, while others are promoted. "Science" that doesn't fit in the currently accepted models of relativity and quantum mechanics is not funded, taught or peer reviewed. Medicine that doesn't fit in the genocide and control grid of vaccines is shipped to the Gulags of our current society. Google gains enough monopolistic control over the "Web" to essentially force all significant websites to convert from "http" to "https" ... where they and their allies control the security certificates. The Domain Name Service (DNS) by which website names are resolved to their physical IP address is also controlled by a few DNS service providers, who can take any website down (with narrow exceptions, such as JimStone.is leverages) by mapping their website URL to the bit bucket. Major hosting, payment and cloud services such as Google, Amazon (AWS), Apple, Microsoft, Paypal, and Cloudflare can take down a new rebel forum such as Parler, by denying Parler their critical infrastructure.

To escape from this prison, we need:

Payment systems for our works and donations outside the banking system.
Infrastructure for sending encrypted data over the Internet that does NOT rely on a few, centrally controlled, servers.

Bitcoin and other such cryptocurrencies provide such a payment system, outside the control of the elite bastards.

The blockchain and other such distributed ledger technologies that underlay cryptocurrencies provide such a communication (in the moment) and library (stored and indexed) means to share all that is digitizable, outside the control of the elite bastards.

The importance of Bitcoin is not just its use as money, no more than the early stone tablet ledgers of stored and transacted produce, such as grain in storage, were just about keeping track of who had how much grain where and when they traded it with someone else.

A form of human communication, across space and time, that is neither funded nor implemented using technology easily usurped by the elite bastards could be, and is now becoming, as revolutionary as the books, universal "reading and writing" education, and printing press were, that grew out of those early stone tablet ledgers.



The "money" of bitcoin is essential, for funding is an essential choke point where the elite bastards can exert control, but it is just one of the essential technologies of a vibrant civilization that must be wrested from their control. Distributed ledger technology, using distributed public/private key addressing, running on a decentralized infrastructure, is as revolutionary as was the pen and paper, the sword, the gun, and the printing press, if not more so.

(The physical worlds of touch, smell, shared energy, of food, water, tools, shelter, clothing and transportation, of pets, children, plants and (so I'm told) earth and stones ... these are also essential, though can tolerate considerable neglect at times (as I can personally testify.) This is not an either-or. This is another layer of living activity.)

The Architecture of the Debt Money System.

It's "Proof of Stake", not fractional reserve.

Proof of Stake

First a bit of background. The term "Proof of Stake" is a key term in cryptocurrency technology.

From Investopedia (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/proof-stake-pos.asp):


The [blockchain] owners offer their coins as collateral for the chance to validate blocks. Coin owners with staked coins become "validators."

Validators are then selected randomly to "mine," or validate the block. This system randomizes who gets to "mine" rather than using a competition-based mechanism like proof-of-work.

To become a validator, a coin owner must "stake" a specific amount of coins.

The lower proof of stake banking system

The local and commercial banking level, that lends to people and businesses, uses a proof-of-stake model: The more reserves a given bank stakes into the system, the more they can "lend", meaning the more debt-money they can create, exchanging value today for value plus interest at a future date, with the full force of the courts, police and military (if you're big enough) backing up those debt-money contracts.

The central banks of the world issue those "debt-money" generating licenses to the local and commercial banks, and hold those bank reserves, which reserves are just like the stakes in proof of stake cryptos.

Money is not "printed". It is lent.

All debt-money creation involves three parties:

A borrower, who gets the right to spend so much today, in exchange for promising to return some amount, usually more, at a future time.
A banker, who plays the role of the lender, issuing the right to spend so much today, and who also collects and records the promise to return some amount, from some party, at some future time.
An enforcement arm, courts, police, and military, to enforce those promises (even on nation states).

As noted above, the banker in (2) has license to only issue so much in loans, according to their stake, how much "bank reserves" they put up to play the game.

"Bank reserves" in a debt-money system are like "Proof of stake" in cryptocurrency.

The upper proof of stake banking system

So ... what happens to those "reserves", that the local and commercial banks have to stake in order to have a seat at the table.

Those reserves become the chips that the "big boys" play with.

The world's central banks and national treasuries play their own debt-money game, using those chips, where:

The national government becomes the borrower.
The central bank becomes the lender.
The courts and the military of the world's superpower become the enforcers.

There is no recognizable "bank" big enough, with big enough reserves, to issue the volume of debt-money that they "play" with at the Big Table.

Moreover, thanks to the inherent instability of debt-money systems, an increasingly large pile of "money" is needed to play that game at the "big table".

This instability is inherent in the system. The debt-money system keeps needing more and more money to pay both the principal and interest on past loans.

The key conflict of interest

This creates a conflict of interest. The world's superpower is both a borrower and the primary enforcer.

So the "real superpower", the Babylonian/Phoenician/Venetian/Anglo-American/Khazarian Mafia (https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/02/22/the-hidden-history-of-the-incredibly-evil-khazarian-mafia/), uses black magic, blackmail, Satanic ritual, fraud, lies, and poisons of the mind, body, spirit, and earth:


to control the superpower's "leaders" and
to convince the people (aka debt slaves) to follow these "leaders".

These "leaders" could be second grade school teachers, professors, doctors, lawyers, scientists, judges, publishers of "news", or anyone else so promoted, in an identified government, university, entertainment, sports, royalty, corporate, news, police, military, legal, or other such role.

The Tower of Babel

The American Empire, which has stood astride the globe like the Colossus, has become a Tower of Babel, endeavoring to unite the entire world under one pyramid of power, controlled by the Khazarian Mafia, whose ceremonial headquarters were perhaps to planned for Kazakhstan until last month, when Russian troops stopped a coup there, and installed what seems to me to be a more honest leader. The capitol of Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan, is way overbuilt, like the Vatican and Washington DC, for the normal needs of that small (population 18 million) mountainous country.

That Tower must fall and is falling. The effort of the Khazarian Mafia to make China the next Great Superpower, or the next terrible protagonist, as Germany was in World Wars I and II, is failing.

Americans have an Epic Battle ahead, which may put to shame the battles described in Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings" (which has sat for years yet unread on the table in front of me).

China is the new Kaiser Wilhelm and Nazi Germany

It took two World Wars to move the "Capitol" of the system from using the British Pound, controlled from Buckingham Palace and the City of London, enforced by the British Navy, to using the US Dollar, controlled from the Beltway between Washington DC and New York City, enforced by the US Military. Both these World Wars featured Germany as the main antagonist, used to energize the build up of a world dominant US Military and Central Bank.

The move to China is collapsing. The corrupt and evil Khazarian Mafia is not able to grow the Tower that high, and the incoming galactic energy wave is too strong for such a flawed construction to handle.

Thanks, Edina. I also read his book “The Roots of Coincidence” which I discovered just now to also be I n the Avalon Library. While reading it, coincidences in my own life went through the roof, which later made me realize that my focus in that direction created them. Huge Aha! moment. Highly recommend reading it, if only to study ones own consciousness affecting events.
Which is also why I am now focusing on the Ukrainian situation not as a war, but as a brief interlude to drive the world ever faster towards peace.
Back to topic.

I had a chance to read the "The Thirteenth Tribe" in the early 90's. I found it during a short stay at a county jail in northern California of all places. It was a good read for the time, unfortunately the last few pages were gone. The inmates had a habit of using book pages to smoke dried banana peels,lol, not making that up.
Looking forward to reading that one again to the end."The Roots of Coincidence" is now on my new read list.
Thanks ulli,edina!

(Some readers who already have a clear understanding of how energy underpins all economies, and what 'debt' really is, could save themselves a little time and start a short way in.)

Chris Martenson gets part of the story right, and with his many years of practice, well and clearly presented.

Our current debt-money system leverages energy trade, especially in petroleum based energy, as the primary source of funding debt. The debt grows exponentially, while the funding source only grows linearly. Crash inevitably ensues.

He glosses over, in my view, another key part of the story.

The fundamental mechanism used to leverage all the monetary instruments underlying our monetary system, from the British Pound to the US Dollar, is debt. It just so happens that for the last century, debt payments have been tied to petroleum trade payments.

Our money is based on debt - promises of future income in return for present spending power, in a system controlled by the Khazarian Mafia, aka the Babylonian/Phoenician/Venetian/Anglo-American Banksters.

The following gives me hope that I will live long enough to see the collapse, world-wide, of the debt-money system that has plagued humanity for centuries.

This Zerohedge article gives a fine overview of the tumult in the world's gold markets:


US Tees Up 'Stop Russian Gold Act', Triggering LBMA And COMEX To Eject Russian Refiners (https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-tees-stop-russian-gold-act-triggering-lbma-and-comex-eject-russian-refiners)

The above Zerohedge article recommends the following paper, which is brilliant. The paper is seeped in commodity hedge fund and quant trading lingo, so a bit of a steep read, but provides, to this very-very-amateur reader, a compelling insight to how the world's monetary system is reshaping itself:


Bretton-Woods-III-Zoltan-Pozsar.pdf (https://sg.bullionstar.com/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Bretton-Woods-III-Zoltan-Pozsar.pdf)
From the above paper, the not-quite-so-amateur conspiracy theory lobe of my brain suspects that the insane sanctions being imposed by "Western" countries on all manner of commodities, including now even Russian tainted gold and anyone trading in such, are being deliberately instigated by China, through its political, banking and financial minions that it has infiltrated widely and deeply into the West.

China is getting the West to shoot itself in the foot (or somewhere north of there, such as in the ass beneath their wallet pocket).

Or, to put the same speculation in more optimistic terms, supporters of commodity based money are getting the supporters of debt based money (Rothschild, Rockefeller, ... come to mind) to self destruct.

We are witnessing the death of debt-money, and a return to commodity based money.

Two of the dominant Asian land mass powers, China and Russia, are sinking the (debt-money) ships of the Phoenician Navy.

One short term, here and now, consequence is that shipping costs across the oceans have been and continue to rise dramatically, while shipping volumes decrease and delays increase, as that infrastructure is increasingly stressed.

For centuries, the delays and risks in getting natural resources, be it Chinese silk or modern day petroleum, from the source to the consumer, largely involved shipping over oceans, or before that, long and dangerous travel by foot and horse over land. This provided a fundamental need for debt-based financing, to pay the producer, while the goods were (quite a bit later, and with considerable risk) delivered for payment.

Now with railroads and pipelines connecting Russia and China, the primary determinant of what goes where is "Who has the goods?". The delivery is almost immediate and practically risk free. If Russia can dig it out of the ground, or China can make it in a factory, the commerce can happen.

That fundamentally shifts the balance of power from the shipper of the product (using debt-based money) to the producer of the product (using commodity based money).

Once the United States rebuilds its factories, it too can become Great Again, as it has a similar capacity to become a land based empire, from the fields, wells and mines, to the store shelf. Europe on the other hand has more factories and people than it has fertile land and mines, so it will need to resume trade with the empire to the east of it, Russia, to make this transition.

As described at length in Koestler's "The Thirteenth Tribe", posted above, the Asian land mass tribes have been battling the Babylonian/Phoenician/Venetian/Khazarian Mafia tribe for thousands of years.

The tide is turning, and the earth is quaking, in the long battle.

We are witnessing the death of debt-money, and a return to commodity based money.
The specific way forward has become clearer to me, with recent actions by elements of the US federal government and Fed Chair Jerome Powell,

I have stated a new thread, to lay this out:

So the "real superpower", the Babylonian/Phoenician/Venetian/Anglo-American/Khazarian Mafia (https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/02/22/the-hidden-history-of-the-incredibly-evil-khazarian-mafia/), uses black magic, blackmail, Satanic ritual, fraud, lies, and poisons of the mind, body, spirit, and earth:


to control the superpower's "leaders" and
to convince the people (aka debt slaves) to follow these "leaders".


The above linked article about the Khazarian Mafia (https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/02/22/the-hidden-history-of-the-incredibly-evil-khazarian-mafia/) is well worth a read.

It is a just published, detailed history of the Khazarian Mafia through the ages, of their present operations, and of their ongoing take down. It closely matches my, less detailed, understanding.

BlackRock Aladdin: This Robot Already Owns Everything (https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/blackrock-aladdin-this-robot-already-owns-everything/)

8 hours ago

This very entertainingly-edited video by Roger James Hamilton explains how a powerful AI called Aladdin built by BlackRock’s Larry Fink is a big reason why you will own nothing – because it will own everything.


***
TRANSCRIPT

What if I told you there is a robot that controls more wealth than any country on Earth? A robot so powerful, that in the last 10 years, it has quietly created the biggest company in the world. This is the story of a robot called Aladdin.

It’s Wall Street’s best kept secret and is gobbling up every asset class across every industry. Aladdin now controls $21 trillion of our global economy.

To put that in perspective, that’s more than the $20 trillion GDP of the US or the $15 trillion GDP of the entire European Union.

The New Statesman wrote the total physical cash of all seven billion people and every company bank vault wallet and piggy bank in the world is around $5 trillion. Aladdin has grown into a system responsible for more than four times the value of all the money in the world.

This one robot directs the actions of the US Federal Reserve, almost every major bank and investment fund on Wall Street and over 17,000 traders.

It controls half of all ETFs, 17% of the bond market, 10% of the global stock market and carries out a quarter of a million trades every day and billions of forecasts every week, year after year.

It hoovers up trillions of data points on every market, every company, every asset – and now, even each of us; what we buy, sell and say, so that it knows what to buy and what to sell far better than any human being.

Every major bank, company and investment fund has come to rely on Aladdin and it’s all powerful AI and algorithms to beat the market. And if they didn’t, they’ve collapsed and failed in Aladdin’s wake. And you know what the craziest part of this story is? This robot is just getting started.

So where did Aladdin come from and how did it get so powerful?

Aladdin is the brainchild of Larry Fink, the founder of BlackRock and his total dominance has made his company the biggest shadow bank in the world and the most powerful company on Earth.

The story you’re about to hear is equally unbelievable and terrifying. In fact, you would think it was science fiction if it wasn’t very real and happening today.

This story starts in the 1980s, when Larry Fink was making millions pioneering mortgage-backed securities at Wall Street bank, First Boston.

That’s right. The same mortgage-backed securities that caused the 2008 Global Financial Crisis 20 years later. But back in the ’80s, he was in an epic Wall Street rivalry with Louis Ranieri at Salomon Brothers, made famous as the big swinging dick in Michael Lewis’ book, ‘Liars Poker’.

Back then, Larry was making millions for the bank and was on track to be First Boston CEO and then in 1986 an error in the back office computer models led to Larry making the wrong trades and he lost the company a hundred million dollars.

The result was Larry leaving the bank as a failure with the stupid computer to blame.

With that experience, Larry had just one ambition: to build a super smart robot that could pick out risk and opportunity in the market and do it better than any computer or human could do.

In 1988, he launched a new startup, BlackRock with a tiny coding team to give birth to this robot, its name, Aladdin, which stands for Asset, Liability and Debt Derivative Investment Network.

In its first 10 years, Aladdin was fed information about every asset price movement and risk variable in the global bond market, Larry’s specialty and in 1999, when Aladdin turned 11, Aladdin was getting so intelligent at picking losers and winners that Larry began selling access to his data to other Wall Street firms.

That same year, he took BlackRock public on the New York Stock Exchange. Straight after the IPO, the dot-com bus burst, pushing a wall of money from the stock market to bonds, which Aladdin had become the undisputed world champion in.

Within years, BlackRock had become a trillion-dollar company and as money started shifting back to shares, what did Larry do? He bought the asset management arm of Merrill Lynch, which was focused to shares.

So the gift for Aladdin’s 18th birthday: all the data points for the entire stock market and suddenly, Aladdin had a new playground analyzing every stock trade and risk factor for every company on the stock market.

As a result, today BlackRock, together with his two closest rivals, Vanguard and State Street, both of which also rely on Aladdin’s mountain of knowledge have become the biggest shareholders of over 40% of all public listed companies in America.

2008: the Global Financial Crisis hits and before Aladdin turns 21 years old, is called on by every Wall Street bank and Timothy Geithner, the head of the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury, as soon as Lehman Brothers collapsed and the Wall Street meltdown began the US Government came calling to save the next collapsing bank, Bear Stearns.

It was Aladdin who decided which assets to keep and wish to leave in the $30 billion rescue package and few people know it was a robot that saved America from disaster.

With that first success, the Fed, US Government and now, even European and Japanese central banks began relying on Aladdin to make the calls on where the $2.5 trillion of new money they printed should go, the majority of it bonds and funding to prop up the mortgage companies and banks.

But wait – aren’t these exactly the assets that Aladdin and BlackRock already were invested in? Exactly. But growing protests of conflict of interest were drowned out by the noise of the printing presses printing more money as the assets controlled by Aladdin rapidly grew to $11 trillion by 2013.

In the last decade, Aladdin has gone from the leader to the dominator of all financial markets. With Blackrock’s Barclays acquisition, it got eye shares, Barclays Exchange Traded Funds units or ETFs and with that, Aladdin moved from dominator of bonds and equities to dominator of ETFs, just as all the biggest investors shifted from mutual funds to ETFs and that’s when, in 2017, everything changed.

On Aladdin’s 29th birthday, Larry launched a top secret project at BlackRock, code named “Monarch”, which led to the firing of his fund managers and replacing their funds with Aladdin’s funds, the robot was now eliminating humans from the equation, altogether and as a result, today over 70% of all trades on US stock markets are decided by robots, with Aladdin leading the way.

These trades are completed from beginning to end without a human involved in High Frequency Trading far faster than a human can execute.

Now, if this was just a story about a robot taking over the job of Wall Street traders, you might not be so concerned, unless you’re one of those traders but in the last three years, as Aladdin hit $20 trillion in assets, incredibly, it has begun to consume and control at an even faster rate; first, in 2020, as Aladdin turned 32 years old, the US Government and Federal Reserve again came calling, as the pandemic hit.

Aladdin was, again the one to guide the nation in what was now $4 trillion of newly-printed money. Where did the money go this time? Inexplicably, for the first time, the Fed began buying ETFs in 2020.

While that’s a little strange and again the cries of “Conflict-of-interest!” were drowned out by the money-printing. And then, Aladdin revealed its end game.

Recently, BlackRock acquired EFRONT, which collects data on the things that you and I own, including private equity and real estate and since then, Aladdin has consumed EFRONT’s data on the entire global real estate market – and yep, you guess what happened next.

Over the last two years, BlackRock and other funds using Aladdin’s data have begun buying up single-family homes, where they can afford to output the rest of us, as they have unlimited financing at hyper low interest rates.

The result is home prices rising by 20% over the last two years and pushing now even big players like Zillow out of the market.

And here, we see Aladdin’s end game: to be the one hyper-intelligent AI robot that not just controls Wall Street assets but all assets public and private.

Now, I’m not into conspiracy theories but even a skeptic with eyes wide open can see the signs. We’re already at a point where no one can compete without Aladdin, as CEOs and asset managers, like Anthony Malloy are now saying, “Aladdin is like oxygen. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to function.”

And what about government regulation? Well, Joe Biden has appointed BlackRock executive, Brian Dees as head of the National Economic Council, which basically means the oversight of Aladdin and BlackRock is now the responsibility of – BlackRock.

And Biden has also appointed BlackRock Chief of Staff, Adewale Adeyemo to be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, which means BlackRock is now the Treasury, as well as the Treasury advisor.

And this story is far from over. The genie is out of the bottle and Aladdin has already reached a tipping point where one robot controls more wealth than any person or country.

But as Aladdin’s AI capabilities continue to grow and with its rate of control rising by another trillion to two trillion dollars in new assets every year, it looks inevitable that Wall Street’s secret weapon could end up owning everything and we end up owning nothing.

Blackrock has a secret weapon that has made it the most powerful company in the world: Aladdin. If you're ever wondered how Artificial Intelligence could impact our lives, here's the answer. Aladdin is the brainchild of Larry Fink, and it already controls more assets than the GDP than the US. It's growing by $1 trillion to $2 trillion new assets in its control each year.

The Banksters have deep control leverage over the economy.

If they lend out money easily, at low interest rates, more and more is borrowed from their banks.
If they cut off the easy debt-money tap, then real estate collapses, businesses fail, people get laid off, retirement plans fail, ...
When that happens, the Banksters get to collect the collateral from their now bankrupt clients.


This cycle repeats over and over in history. The Banksters get richer and richer, and gain more and more control over the people and their businesses and governments.


But since the news and social media depend on advertisement money from these other businesses, the dominant news and social media end up being the ones that say what they're told to say, and suppress what they're told to suppress, or else they too fail.

Debt, with it's future fixed payment demands, it's enforcement by Bankster controlled legislatures, governors, regulators, judges and prosecutors, and with its required collateral to be confiscated when payments aren't made ... that debt becomes the One Ring to Rule Them All.

I have a new analogy that might explain the Babylonian debt-money system.

If you're old enough, recall back when you played the board game Monopoly as a child.

The most experienced player, often a parent, would be the banker.

The banker got to manage a big stash of not yet played "monopoly money" bills, in addition to their own stash. The banker had to manage that big stash of not yet played bills openly ... handing them out according to the rules that applied to all, herself included.

Imagine instead that the banker got to keep that not yet played stash secret, got to use it as if it were her own, and got to make unlimited additions to that stash by doing the following:

Tear a piece of paper in half.
On one half, write "Bond 1.1 times x dollars after N turns."
On the other half, write "IOU 1.2 times x dollars."
Hand out x newly created Monopoly dollars and the IOU paper to one player who needs x dollars right away
That player agrees to pay back 1.2 times x, or else have one of their properties confiscated by the banker.
Sell that Bond paper to a player who wants to earn extra income on their current holdings.
The banker agrees to buy that Bond paper back for 1.1 times x, after the specified N turns.


The above creation of debt and money, as an initially balanced, net zero, pair of entries on the bankers balance sheet is the key sleight of hand to Babylonian Money Magic.

The banker would end up owning the half the board early on thanks to their exclusive license to "print money", and once the players got accustomed to having to borrow early on to get more properties before the other players did, the banker could force the bigger borrowers into "bankruptcy", unable to make payments on their UOMe notes because they were collecting less rent on their existing properties once the other players were cut off from borrowing more to remain in the game. At that point, the banker confiscates the existing properties of these other bigger and earlier borrowing players, and OWNS the ENTIRE Board.

As my favorite New York Stock Exchange day trader, Gregory Mannarino, says, it is the goal of the Federal Reserve to become the "Buyer and Lender of Last Resort". The Fed intends to "Own it all."

This is why we are now seeing a slow motion economic, financial and monetary collapse. The Fed is restricting lending, intending to collapse cash flows, inflation adjusted income, and profit margins of borrowers large and small, public and private, corporate and individual, foreign and domestic. The Fed's #1 task at present is not to "fight inflation." Rather it is to lower the value of both:

money (US Dollars, hence all other currencies entangled with Dollars), and
debt (US Treasuries, hence all other debt entangled with Treasuries.

The Fed (Federal Reserve, the Bankster institution that stole the power to control and issue money in the U.S., back in 1913) seeks to keep these two declining values balanced, so that neither hyperinflation (collapse of the dollar) nor default (collapse of Treasuries) weakens its hand.

===

Notice how uneven the two "pieces of paper" are in the above Monopoly example. The Monopoly money banker gets more, sooner, along with some confiscated properties to boot, and pays out less later.

The same imbalance applies to real world central debt-money banks:

The banker gets (a) more money (b) sooner than they pay back, with (c) an option to confiscate a property, if the borrower can't make payments.

Meanwhile, the banker commits to paying out less money, later, when money is less precious in the game, with no penalty other than resetting the monetary system (not confiscating their real wealth and property) if they don't pay.

Further, notice that the banker can force some larger, more indebted, players to forfeit properties, by cutting back sharply on such debt issuance, later in the game, forcing more marginal players to be unable to pay rent when they land on some other player's property.


Being a banker - nice job if you can get it. You get to create fiat (legally mandated) money, and the debt that backs it, out of thin air, and then earn more interest, sooner, than you pay back out, later, on that money, and what's more, to confiscate real property from other players who can't make payments, due perhaps to depressions (of the money supply you control) later in the game.

As Nathan Mayer Rothschild famously noted:


Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.

Considerations on the Collapse of the US Dollar

After reading Will Zoll's most excellent history of Western banking, up through Part V so far, I would like to consider how the collapse of the current world monetary system, based on the US Dollar as the "world's reserve currency", will proceed, from the perspective of Americans (such as myself.)

Since many (of the likely few) readers of this article would be better advised to read Will Zoll's articles instead, here are links thereto, up to Part V so far.



1871 - Part I - Orange Londonia<br>

1871 – Part IV - The Performance of a Prussian Portfolio<br>
https://prussiagate.substack.com/p/1871-part-iv

1871 - Part V - The Collapse of a Complex Enemy<br>
https://prussiagate.substack.com/p/1871-part-v

From 1871 to the Great Depression of the 1930's:

The "1871" in the primary title of these articles refers to the year 1871, when the "1871 Treaty of Washington" established a corporation in Washington, DC, subject to the Law of the Crown, and responsible for the debt incurred by the various states, primarily funding the recent Civil War, which War the City of London bankers had made great effort to provoke, in anticipation of just such a result.

As is well understood by such bankers, so long as they control the courts, the law, the police and the military, then the "borrower is servant to the lender" (Proverbs 22:7, New Testament.)

My present considerations, here below, follow my reading just now of Will Zoll's Part V, as linked above.

Part V covers the inflation in the U.S. of the Roaring Twenties, followed by the Great Depression and FDR's (Roosevelt's) confiscation of gold immediately after he took office in 1933.

Back then, the world was mostly on a gold standard - various currencies were typically worth what whatever gold they could be exchanged for.

The Roaring Twenties, in the U.S., were a period of excess money printing and stock market bubbles. This collapsed, most famously in the stock market crash of Black Monday, October 28, 1929.

That was followed by a period of deflationary depression. Jobs, money, and the basic essentials of life (food, shelter, ...) were in short, sometimes desperately short, supply. My own parents, who were young adults at that time, would forever after save every scrap of paper or other odd item, just in case it might be useful. They could pinch a penny until it squealed.

When FDR came into office, in March 1933, he got a law passed making it illegal for Americans to hold or use gold, and requiring them to turn in whatever gold they held for the (then long standing) price of $20.67/ounce.

Some gold was hidden, some left for overseas locations, and some was turned in. But in any case, the US Dollar was no longer gold backed.

Once this was done, FDR then repriced gold to $35/ounce.

So -- how does this translate to the present?

In short, I think we Americans are once again leaving an inflationary bubble, marked by over valued stocks, bonds, real estate (residential and commercial), pension plans, insurance plans, and government social service promises. Much of what many middle class Americans might consider to be their net worth will be found to be illusionary.

I anticipate a collapse of all the above items, all of which have been over inflated by excessive debt-money creation.

Key concept:


The Federal Reserve (Fed) doesn't "print" money into existence.
Rather the Fed drives its banks to "lend" money into existence.

We don't really have a fractional reserve system, in which bankers can lend say $10 for every $1 in deposit in their bank, but rather it is a "double entry accounting" system, in which bankers create _two_ counter balancing accounting entries for each debt:


a credit for some money available immediately, and
a debt for some more money to be repayed later.

Since the accounting value for the present value of these two entries exactly balances, a banker need have no money reserves (except so far as whatever Fed Reserve rules are applied to and enforced on that bank at that time) whatsoever. If the Fed's rules of the day happen to allow it, a banker at a small bank can show up in his cheap suit with a ball point pen, and issue multiple loans for billions of dollars each. At that end of his busy day, neither he nor his bank would be any much wealthier or poorer.

As a result of a cascading series of debt issuance bubbles over the last 40 odd years, signficantly driven by the nominal rise in the value of U.S. Treasury debt over the same period, we are now in the end stages of a period of excess growth of "promises of future value", be that stocks, bonds, real estate (residential and commercial), pension plans, insurance plans, or government social service promises.

What has been promised as a "pay now, benefit later" opportunity, is turning into a "paid then, get screwed now" result.

But ...

We (most of the world) are no longer on a gold standard, such as we were back then. So the U.S. Dollar reset that must happen now will not take the form of gold confiscation and subsequent repricing.

Rather we (most of the world) have been on a US Dollar as the world's Reserve Currency standard.

Actually, that's a bit of a misstatement.

We have been on a US Treasury Debt (T-Bills, Notes and Bonds) as the world's primary reserve asset standard. Major corporations and nations hold US Treasury debt as their primary asset, borrow and lend in US Treasury backed Dollars, and settle trade imbalances using US Treasury debt.

Recognizing that misstatement is key to our understanding how this time will unfold differently.

Back in 1933, FDR could not continue to issue honest value in gold bullion for such US Dollars as were in circulation, because the nation was essentially broke. Rather than declare bankruptcy and liquidate assets, as an ordinary bankrupt business must do, FDR did what nations who make their own money usually do - write down their promises to pay other nations and corporations to whatever they can actually afford, and find excuses to print, lend, grant and/or spend new money domestically, in order to keep the domestic economy from collapsing (which is usually bad for re-election chances) and to keep the people from revolting (which can be bad for the life expectancy of politicians.)

The same will happen now ... mutatis mutandis.

My Primary Forecast:

After a period of deflationary depression, which we are already (somewhat covertly so far) over a year into, I expect the U.S. Government to:


Impose a hair cut to US debt held by corporations and nations.
Find all manner of excuses to circulate dollars domestically.

This started last year with the Fed tightening up lending, both by raising rates and forcing banks to lend less. This will collapse the real estate markets and send some businesses into bankruptcy, as would be lenders are denied loans or unable to afford them.

Recall that lending is how money is generated in our current monetary system ... money is not so much "printed", as it is lent into existence.

Except for a few centenarians who were young adults in the 1930's, we have all grown so used to this debt money system and its seemingly never ending growth of money that most of us will have a difficult time adjusting to a shrinking money supply and the collapse of much of their store of "wealth" ... stocks, bonds, real estate, businesses, professional practices, retirement plans, insurance plans, ...

The young adults of today may end up annoying their grandchildren with their obsessive hoarding and penny pinching, a half century from now.

Note a key difference between then (1930's) and now (2020's):

FDR confiscated domestic gold and then repriced it, so as to lower the "real" value of the dollar from 1/20.65 of an ounce of gold to 1/35.00 of an ounce of gold, forcing a "hair cut" on foreign and large corporate holders of Dollars.

Now it's not gold but rather U.S. Treasury debt.

So I expect that holders of Treasury debt will get a haircut (as Jim Willie, the Golden Jackass, figures some major nations are already getting) on the Treasury debt they hold. That is, if you show up at the US Treasury with a billion dollars worth of Treasury debt, you won't get a billion dollars, but perhaps only 800 million or some such.

This hair cut is exactly what is also reflected in the sharp rise in short term interest rates since early 2022.

The connection between bond values and Fed interest rates confuses many.

I prefer to think of the connection between these rates and bond values this way:

When the Fed raises the rate payed by newly issued bonds, that lowers the value of bonds previously issued that pay a lower rate.

Hence, the Fed's interest rate increases since early 2022 have already been forcing a hair cut on bonds already held by corporations and nations.

Who wants an older bond that pays say 1%, when new bonds pay 5%?

However I expect that hair cut to get more severe (or already be more severe, if Jim Willie is right.)

Where will this put us:

Some corporations, large and small, will go bankrupt, unable to adapt to the change from the rising debt-money abundance of the last 40 years, to the more rapid decline in debt-money at present. Bankrupt corporations lay off workers. Struggling corporations get stingier with hiring and paying.

The sense of accumulated wealth of many Americans (and other nationalities, for various related reasons) will decline or collapse, as prices rise and income and assets decline or collapse.

Then a new President, in the model of FDR, will announce a more official haircut for those holding Treasury debt, and will find ways to fund all manner of spending, payments and benefits domestically, in order to keep the American economy from collapsing, and to keep hungry and homeless Americans from rioting in the streets and hanging politicians from tall trees with short ropes.

This will result in the price of imported goods rising, while the availability of such goods decreases, as other nations don't want our Treasury debt. Domestically, new or quickly adapting businesses will start to expand to earn some of the flood of new domestic money coming from the Federal government.

We Americans will reverse the trend of the previous several decades, bringing back home businesses and industries that we had shipped overseas.

My hope:

This time, rather than such a collapse opening the door for yet greater involvement of and control by the debt-money issuing bankers,

instead we should throw debt-money monetary systems under the bus and drive over them repeatedly, crushing and removing them, and the power of the Babylonian Banksters behind them, to dust, for a thousand years.

My hope:
Hear hear, Moo! Under that bus and be done with them!
This time, rather than such a collapse opening the door for yet greater involvement of and control by the debt-money issuing bankers,

instead we should throw debt-money monetary systems under the bus and drive over them repeatedly, crushing and removing them, and the power of the Babylonian Banksters behind them, to dust, for a thousand years.

Hear hear, Moo! Under that bus and be done with them!

Here is perhaps the best analysis I've heard of where our money systems have been, where they are now, and where they are going.

I've long enjoyed Lyn Alden's comments on the financial markets of our time ... she's one smart cookie ... but now it is apparent that she has been applying her genius to money on a longer term, multi-century, multi-cultural, multi-paradigm (barter, gold, central banks, crypto, ...) basis.

This manifests in her new book that came out in August:

Broken Money: Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better (https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Money-Financial-System-Failing/dp/B0CG83QBJ6)

This also manifests in this interview from yesterday, in which Lyn Alden presents her insights:

JsSXo3o-Nrc
Lyn posits two fundamentals in this interview that underlay long term monetary system changes:


[1] Energy technology (advancing to petro over the last century).

[2] Monetary transaction technology (advancing to telegraph and now internet that permit transactions far faster and more complex than is practical with direct physical transfer of, say, gold coins).

I would add two more fundamentals that will underlay upcoming changes:


[3] Increasing computational capacity (currently labeled "AI") which is revolutionizing the efficiency of such physical processes as manufacturing and transportation.

[4] The solar micro-nova, pole shift, cataclysm (cf Ben Davidson of SuspiciousObservers (https://www.youtube.com/@Suspicious0bservers)) that may climax in the coming decade or three.

My current long term strategy is to leverage [1] - [3] to gain the capacity and resources to improve the chances of myself and my descendants surviving and continuing past [4].

Overlaying and deeply entangled with the above is the ongoing war between humanity and the name changers (aka Babylonian Banksters, aka a thousand other names.) Lyn focuses little on that (her head is only so big, after all 😊 ... or if her head is that much larger, she knows her listener's ears aren't.)

[ThePythonicCow]

This manifests in [Lyn Alden's] new book that came out in August:

Broken Money: Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better (https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Money-Financial-System-Failing/dp/B0CG83QBJ6)


The top review on Amazon for Lyn's "Broken Money" book provides some high praise and a good description:

Magnificent book. She builds her ideas in a rational and easy to follow manner which eludes most financial writers. Much easier to digest than many books on the same subjects.

For investors she clarifies why you buy different assets at different times in an economic cycle, and when it is good to be leveraged & bad to be leveraged.

I did not find any great revelations, but the book reinforced all of my current beliefs. She correctly concludes democracies with politicians making costly promises to the public to get elected always ends with too much sovereign debt. I read this 50 years ago in Plato's Republic, and have lived to see it come true in almost all of our western democracies.

IMHO she understates the 3rd party risk with cryptocurrencies, but she has never recommended crypto for anything other than another asset in a well rounded basket of assets. People who complain that she is too heavily in favor of crypto investments simply haven't read what she writes.

I would have liked more discussion on where we are today & where we are going rather than a chapter on human rights. USA has a huge debt and with higher rates the interest on the debt is hitting $1T which is totally unsustainable. There's no doubt inflation & financial repression are the only solutions (which will make the rich richer & the poor poorer). The "How We Can Make It Better" part of the book was the weakest, but that is only because IMHO 2024 will see the world in chaos with a GFC #2 much worse than the first, and the changes she wants to make won't be possible.

To start off as a financial writer with a first book of this quality is phenomenal. Many congratulations to Lyn Alden. Every investor should buy this book & fully understand the central lessons which are thoroughly explained.

I'm not sure if this presentation has been posted yet (I think it's just 3 days old), and for the Avalon members the presentation doesn't really offer anything new, but it seems to me to be a good presentation to share with people who maybe understand just a fragment of the agenda and haven't put the pieces together.

... a good presentation ...

That's well done - tightly scripted, excellent overview of the history and present perils of debt money, focused on the history of money in the United States.

As the top Youtube comment says in reply:


Best history lesson I've ever had!! Seriously! Thanks as always Casey.

[ThePythonicCow]

.
Though Casey (in the above "Financial System Scam video") is limited in her grasp of the deep infestation of the evil bastards in the law, medicine, science, government, education, news and entertainment media, et al, and of the potential evils of collateral, even more than of interest.

We have sometimes loaned each other money in my family, over the years.

But never would we have considered that the lender might be able to repossess the borrowers car, home and income, with the full force of the state's legal and armed force, if repayment did not happen on schedule, nor would all the police, prosecutors, courts, and militaries back such a collection of collateral,

Nations have been destroyed or enslaved over such details. See for example the 1871 incorporation of D.C. as a result of Civil War debt, or Germany's hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic in the early 1920's, or most "third world nations losing control of their natural resources under IMF terms.

Families have lost farms they've held for perhaps a century, over such.

The savings of my Baby Boomer generation are being plowed under a mountain of US Treasury debt, over such.

Globalist enforced (as in the Uniform Commercial Code) of confiscatory collateral terms is a bigger problem than interest on those loans.

As happens every 80 years or so, we are now entering another massive collapse of compounded debt, with the grave risk that the evil bastards will once again sweep up and gain control of yet more of the assets of the collapsed families, communities, businesses, corporations and of local, state and national governments.

[ThePythonicCow]

Mel K, in this interview with Man in America, in particular from the 17:46 to the 26:51 marks, provides a fine overview of what I've been addressing above.

We're in a fundamental contest between:

The globalists, who would have humans place their ultimate trust in human recognized institutions and leaders (which the globalists can more or less covertly control) to manage our public affairs, and
Those supporting "freedom", who would have have humans free to seek their ultimate guidance from a higher spiritual power (commonly known as "God").

The globalists (the one's I sometimes call the "evil bastards") attack the free human spirit on both fronts, both co-opting and extending the power of the earthly institutions (governments, corporations, banks, NGO's, universities, et al), and corrupting and enslaving the individual human spirit.

So long as a private corporation masquerades as national bank issuing a nation's banknotes and bills of credit (aka bonds, notes, gilts, securitized debt, derivatives, ...), that nation remains under the boot of the Satanists.

We will know if we might have really won this multi-thousand year war against the Satanists if such "central banks", in their current or any equivalent form, are dismantled and destroyed.

This is not the first time that good people have come together to oppose the Satanists. For example, back in the early 1500's, the 1509 League of Cambrai was formed by France, England, Spain, Milan, Florence, and Pope Pius II. Under such prominent leadership as Cosimo de Medici, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Nicollo Machiavelli, the League gained major victories on many fronts, military, political and economic.

The League realized that for the renaissance process to survive, a source of evil that plagued mankind for centuries, then centered in Venice, had to be destroyed.

But the League ultimately failed, as first a subsequent Pope of the time, Pope Julius II, was bribed, and then the League was dismantled and destroyed, while the Venetians moved their center of operations from Venice to England and the Netherlands, while creating a new system of private central banking innovated by Venice’s Banco della Piazza di Rialto of 1587, in which private corporations become the "central banks" of nations, issuing that nation's banknotes and bills of credit.

Circling back to the beginning of this essay: only when such central banks, in any form, whether national or supra-national, are dismantled and destroyed, will we humans perhaps have victory in this multi-millenial conquest with the Satanists. That final defeat of such central banks will not be sufficient for victory, but it is necessary.

See further Matthew Ehret's:

The Strategic Importance of the 1509 League of Cambrai for Today's World (https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/the-strategic-importance-of-the-1509)

That final defeat of such central banks will not be sufficient for victory, but it is necessary.
I left unwritten some important thoughts that are behind my above post.

Let me write those important thoughts here:

I will be stunned and amazed if central banks, which have obtained a monopoly on creating "money" by issuing sovereign debt, are dismantled and destroyed.

That would require a mind blogging array of deeply invasive and disruptive changes in more ways that I can enumerate with reasonable effort. Our laws, money, businesses, politics, health, science, education, news, finances, taxes, economics, on personal, community, state, national, corporate and other levels, are all deeply entangled with debt-money, whereby bankers lend our money into existence, in exchange for claims on our assets and incomes.

A substantial part of me remains quite pessimistic that such a transformation of our civilization is possible.

“Give me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.” So said Mayer Amschel Rothschild,

[Dennis Leahy]

(I'm moving my post that was here into a different thread)

[shaberon]

...the Venetians moved their center of operations from Venice to England and the Netherlands, while creating a new system of private central banking innovated by Venice’s Banco della Piazza di Rialto of 1587, in which private corporations become the "central banks" of nations, issuing that nation's banknotes and bills of credit.



Close...first Antwerp and Brussels, then Amsterdam, then London.

What is meant is the Venetian Fondi, more like today's "Foundations" than a central bank. Each person had his Pillar of Wealth passed down through generations.

The Venetian Bank was not private (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banco_del_Giro):

...the Bank of Venice, was a public bank created by the Republic of Venice.


and was perhaps capable of Fractional Reserve Lending, i. e. holding deposits and doing paper transactions.

So, no, I don't think that would qualify as "corporations".

If one says "private lenders to governments", or "private investors in central banks", that may be closer to the sense meant here. This particular bank was destroyed (liquidated) along with the Republic of Venice--implying they no longer cared about/needed that country, which was significant to the "old world order" around the Mediterranean Sea, whereas England would be the new choice if you thought the money might be in internationalism.


The League of Cambrai and *several* other episodes are very informative to the background here.

At first it was really impressive--around the 800s, as loser to the Lombards, a group ran and hid in a mosquito-infested swamp that no one wanted. Then, voila! the Venetians, foes of the Pope and enemies of the French on a permanent basis.

The 1500s is a long time for a city-state to still be influential to the destinies of nations, and the things they have done are absolutely staggering. This includes a few "bankers' tricks", but I am not sure there was The Bank until the Bank of England, 1694.

[shaberon]

But, if we disallow the printing of more money, disallow fractional reserve banking, disallow the practice of debt-creating money and other BS banking "products" like derivatives, disallow any sort of futures trading on Wall Street that would cause dollar value fluctuation, why would that not work?


The Wall Street issue before the Federal Reserve was called "moving the crops", and this is basically the same everywhere for all time.

There may be a couple minor harvests, but the main one predictably is in autumn.

A farmer hires temporary or immigrant labor, and needs cash to pay them, well in advance of what he may be able to realize in the market. And then that one is a gamble. There is need of financing, but, often it does not work, at least according to the Street.

What they found in the ancient world was that a Debt Jubilee was necessary. Using powers of two, it was found that you might get by for 32 years, but you practically must give it in 64 or your government will collapse. That is how they did it until the Roman Empire stopped it and made us "forget" by around the 600s. The Romans ended the old, humane practices, and the Venetians were heavy in developing "something else".


These were ways you could previously pay taxes:


Corvee' labor

Hashish


This was a form of cash:


Silk


and the moral values were, instead of accumulating endless "Fondi", a successful person was supposed to re-invest in local infrastructure and well-being.

I am not sure I have suggestions about the "best form" of cash, but, I would suggest the ancient world was a prosperous trading network for 5,000 years, to which we only have a Roman lapse of memory.

If there was manipulation/hoarding going on, it was probably more with grain.

Should power lie with:


a) priests

b) "financiers"

c) the government


It's the government's job to protect us from the foregoing, so, it is their job to figure out how to do their job. Ours does not work.

Our original cash being redeemable for gold or silver, then there was a new kind of Note (http://www.signoraggio.com/signoraggio_legaltender_vs_lawfulmoney.html):



1914: $1 Federal Reserve Bank Note

At the time this was issued, a "note" was well understood to be a promise of payment. Accordingly, this is prominently labelled as a "Federal Reserve Bank Note".

And what is this Note redeemable in? Here's what it says: "Secured By United States Certificates Of Indebtedness Or One-Year Gold Notes, Deposited With The Treasurer Of The United States Of America". The Note was directly redeemable in Treasury debt, but it was not directly redeemable in Gold.


They are legal tender for debts, but what about a spontaneous purchase?

According to the Federal Reserve (https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm):



There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.


It just means you cannot legally refuse it when offered to cover an obligation.

Try paying a mortgage in cash! Or any bill or bank or credit card. See where that gets you.

If you are just selling something, you are perfectly free, for example, to demand Silver Dollars, and refuse FRNs.

Does a mortgage give me cash or something? No, it doesn't give me anything, is just double entry bookkeeping (Venetian).

Unless replacing the Fed, we are just using something with no legal standing for purchases, which cannot be redeemed for gold or silver.

The Constitution says that a State may not make anything other than gold or silver a legal tender of debts--but this does not apply to the Federal Government. So there is a jurisdiction and states' rights issue here. It gives Congress the authority to coin and regulate the value of money, so, the President cannot do it, but this does not forbid a private bank from doing it.

The answer so far looks like "we have no idea", while some places like Russia seem quite capable, and we may have to look outside of our Anglophile mess for inspiration.

[ThePythonicCow]

.
It's not the lending of money for interest (usury) that destroys (subverts to the control of some evil bastards) human civilizations.

My personal lending to a relative, friend or neighbor, whether or not it involves interest, might be fine, or might harm the relationship we have. But either way, the community is not significantly harmed.

The problem is lending via a third party, such as a bank, under the terms, themselves enforced by third parties.

Once that happens, the third party/parties have an essential interest in both the assets of the lender and the borrower. The borrower must pay back or lose their collateral. The lender relies on those third parties to secure the future value of their lent money.

The bank or other such party that sets up such loans gets to create two assets out of thin air, both the money lent to the borrower, and the debt contract/mortgage/... "debt paper" that promises future payback with interest earned.

Once such "debt paper" (e.g. US Treasuries) becomes the primary monetary asset, then the banksers can cause the fortunes of people, corporations and governments to rise and fall, eventually enslaving all to debt, both the indebted poor, and the wealthy investor in debt paper, whether invested in stocks, bonds, real estate and other debt financed assets or invested in insurance and retirement plans funded by such debt paper.

It's no accident that BOTH the original debt-money system and the original legal system started at the same time - in Babylon.

That Babylonian system was called the the Hammurabi code of laws, which was a collection of 282 rules, establishing standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. It was proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C.

Thus was the birth of our legal systems, our debt-money systems, and our debt-enslavement.

The primary business of our governments is creating, transacting, regulating, and enforcing debt, whether in a local county court or on the battlefields of great wars.

[ThePythonicCow]

Does a mortgage give me cash or something? No, it doesn't give me anything, is just double entry bookkeeping (Venetian).


Well said. Double entry bookkeeping provided the "modern day" (since the late 1400's) procedure for creating and tracking debt. A banker lends money by making two equal and opposite entries in a ledger, debiting the money lent and crediting the equal and opposite value of the "debt paper", the loan contract.

[ThePythonicCow]

.
Bitcoin is a reliable digital double entry bookkeeping system that works over the Internet ... just another double entry bookkeeping system, for a new venue.

Whether or not Bitcoin ends up being a tool primarily benefiting humanity, or further enslaving humanity, depends on whether humanity, or our overlords, gain the upper hand in using and enforcing Bitcoin denominated transactions.

Just as the Hammurabi code of laws began focused more on commercial trade than on debt-money systems, so it seems Bitcoin is beginning. Given the extent to which the debt-money masters have gained control of our civilization over the last 3800 years, I am not optimistic that Bitcoin will become the key to ending our debt-enslavement.

===

I've long imagined, without carefully checking the text, that the US Constitution, which makes nothing "but gold and silver Coin" legal tender, was an effort to step outside the then British controlled debt-money system.

Admittedly any such effort has now been abandoned with the "Crime of 1873" (which no longer included silver in the coinage minted by the US Mint), the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, and FDR's 1933 "Executive Order 6102" (which confiscated gold held by US citizens).

However I just now read the actual text of the US Constitution regarding gold and silver:


From Article 1, Section 10, of the US Constitution:


No State shall ... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts

Dang - even then - the focus was on debt.

[ThePythonicCow]

Just as the Hammurabi code of laws began focused more on commercial trade than on debt-money systems, so it seems Bitcoin is beginning. Given the extent to which the debt-money masters have gained control of our civilization over the last 3800 years, I am not optimistic that Bitcoin will become the key to ending our debt-enslavement.

On what I thought was a quite different thread of my thought lines, I was listening earlier today to an interview of Kerry Cassidy (former colleague of Bill Ryan) with the Patriot Underground: Live w/ Kerry Cassidy - A Critical Update (https://rumble.com/v3vi3aa-live-w-kerry-cassidy.html).

Kerry makes reference to a key interview she did back around 2010, which resulted in her report "The Anglo Saxon Mission – The Timeline – Letter from a Whistleblower… ".

She has issued an update and repost of that Letter now at: REPOST - The Anglo Saxon Mission – The Timeline – Letter from a Whistleblower… MARCH 2010 (https://projectcamelotportal.com/2023/11/06/possible-timeline-planned-by-the-illuminati-and-major-earth-change-event/).

Compare the following quotes from that Anglo Saxon Mission report with Ben Davidson's (of the Suspicious Observers) (https://suspicious0bservers.org/about-faq/) work on the coming solar micro-nova and shifting 90 degrees of the earth's magnetic field and crust, a shift that has of late been occurring repeatedly about every 12,000 years, apparently driven by the galactic magnetic field through which the solar system has been moving, back and forth, every 12,000 or so years.

=== Begin Quote ===


The wider picture remains to me quite unclear. None the less, I have ‘seen’ what will become of the physical shape of this world in a few short years to come. The over-government knows this too and is using this Timeline as way of preparation. They know that the survivors from what is about to happen will determine the physical future of mankind on this planet for millennia to come. They see this as a race against time before time itself prevents them. You see, they are governed by time, while most everyone else living on this planet is not. I discovered this phenomena some time ago and came to understand why those involved with this over government are desperate not be caught in the present moment. They can’t stand still and must at all costs keep striving towards their own manufactured goals. By doing so they are corralling everyone else, sheep like, into pens. The fuel they use to do this is fear.

The wider picture I mentioned, while much of it still remains unclear to me, is most definitely signalling a massive geo-physical change, a change that is very much like the seasons albeit a season that only occurs once in every 11500 years. Those in over government are very much aware of this ‘season’ and are driven to survive this change with their bloodline intact and to remain in overall control, very much as it is now.

...

Before this change happened last time, 11500 years ago, ... Then the visible changes were noted as the earth magnetic poles drifting further and further away from true north and south. This caused seasonal differences that badly affected agriculture and living conditions, causing many of the larger settlements to migrate away from both Polar Regions.

Questions:

Which nation has the largest area of potentially fertile land, that will be near the equator after the pole shift, so in the ideal location during a possible coming ice age?

Which nation has the largest minimally developed mineral reserves?

Which nation has the greatest capacity to rapidly shield its citizens in underground bunkers, whether in the event of nuclear war, or in the event of a solar micro-nova?

Which nation is the leading developer of Arctic Ocean trade routes, the ocean that will be on the equator and a primary ocean for sea travel, after the pole shift?

Answer:

Russia, which also has its own high science and technology expertise, built on a practical, efficient and mostly self-sufficient industrial base, and a people who have a proven track record of surviving really tough times.

Prediction:

The most widely spoken language on earth in coming centuries will be Russian.

[ThePythonicCow]

Seemingly off topic for this "Money Masters" thread, but, at least, spot on the trailing phrase of this thread's title "Total central real-time control of all money.", we can see from the following tweet that volcanic activity on planet earth (not to mention also other planets in our solar system) has dramatically increased over the last decade.

The deep staters, whether black, white or grey, have known for (decades/centuries/... ?) that energy chaos was coming for our solar system, that would cause climate chaos.

That's why, I would surmise, they have been on this "Global cooling, global warming, climate change, ..." kick for so long ... so that they could blame humans for the changes that were coming anyway, and leverage those climatic changes to justify further ramping up of total central real-time control.

Ben Davidson confirms my take of his reports. The opening 30 seconds of his report today reads:


Make no mistake. They know.

Who is they?

Governments, the World Economic Forum, secret societies, powerful interests.

What do they know?

That the sun is going to take away our modern comforts in a great blast.

That the auroral displays getting more extreme is a sign of Earth's vulnerability as the magnetic field weakens in the ongoing Excursion and pole shift and that the polar regions will become new habitable lands full of secrets from previous ages of Earth.

Edgar Cayce predicted that the big changes would be unavoidably apparent when Mt. Etna and Mt. Pele are erupting simultaneously. (Etna is very active now and Pele is getting there.)
He also predicted that Russia would become a good place to be once the cataclysms are finished and the climate has radically changed (which happens with the geomagnetic excursion); it will be warmer there then.
But the entire electric grid will go down once there is a big enough CME hitting Earth, which will likely happen before the cataclysms, so it's not like there will be all the ModCons we enjoy now and for a long while to come.
(If ever--hopefully is there is some kind of grid again it will be based on Tesla's work, and not what we have now.)
The vastness of changes just as a result of that is hard to imagine, and it won't be fun.

The above two maps that I posted above from Twitter might be ... ahem ... bull pucky.

I taught my son well ... don't believe any data until you've verified it some.

When I showed him the above crude maps of 2013 and 2023 volcanic activity, he doubted it was reliable.

So I went looking for a more detailed, hopefully reliable, source of volcanic activity in recent years.

Using the Smithsonian Institute website https://volcano.si.edu, when I ran the following Linux/zsh shell command, it showed the following for how many active volcanoes and eruptions we've had, per year, for each year from 2000 to 2023::

There were 83 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2005 from 75 different volcanoes
There were 86 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2006 from 76 different volcanoes
There were 81 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2007 from 76 different volcanoes
There were 86 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2008 from 80 different volcanoes
There were 75 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2009 from 68 different volcanoes
There were 77 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2010 from 69 different volcanoes
There were 76 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2011 from 71 different volcanoes
There were 81 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2012 from 72 different volcanoes
There were 80 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2013 from 73 different volcanoes
There were 79 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2014 from 71 different volcanoes
There were 90 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2015 from 83 different volcanoes

There were 74 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2017 from 71 different volcanoes
There were 80 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2018 from 75 different volcanoes
There were 75 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2019 from 73 different volcanoes
There were 74 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2020 from 69 different volcanoes
There were 83 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2021 from 77 different volcanoes
There were 85 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2022 from 80 different volcanoes
There were 67 confirmed eruptions at some point during 2023 from 66 different volcanoes

Given that we are about six weeks short of a full year so far in 2023, and if this data is current, then we're on track for 75 eruptions in 2023 from 66 different volcanoes, which is within one of the 2000 numbers, and a little less than the 2013 numbers. At first glance, I don't see any substantial trend one way or the other over these last 23 years.

[onawah]

What about the intensity of the eruptions? That would certainly be a factor.

[ThePythonicCow]

What about the intensity of the eruptions? That would certainly be a factor.

True - if recent volcanoes were, say, more intense, that would be important.

Also given the bum's rush (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?98526-Dutchsinse-and-other-non-mainstream-earthquake-reporters&p=1586303&viewfull=1#post1586303) that our trusted earthquake analyst Dutchsinse just got, not to mention the eon's of other officialdom lies, I wouldn't want to bet the farm on my above Smithsonian numbers either.

I don't know the intensity of these volcanoes, and likely won't be digging there. Too many other toxic cesspools to dig in, and mental mountains to climb.

[onawah]

The "authorities" are constantly downgrading the actual intensity of earthquakes, as Dutch has reported, and so it seems likely they would do the same with volcanos.
And there are new ones appearing now, which they are suppressing info about as well.
Dutch was finding lots of discrepancies and omissions in the official reports for quite some time, whereas what he was finding was lots of indications of new "hot spot" fissures forming, and heat from them being attributed by officials to fires, when there were no fires present at all.



What about the intensity of the eruptions? That would certainly be a factor.

True - if recent volcanoes were, say, more intense, that would be important.

Also given the bum's rush (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?98526-Dutchsinse-and-other-non-mainstream-earthquake-reporters&p=1586303&viewfull=1#post1586303) that our trusted earthquake analyst Dutchsinse just got, not to mention the eon's of other officialdom lies, I wouldn't want to bet the farm on my above Smithsonian numbers either.

I don't know the intensity of these volcanoes, and likely won't be digging there. Too many other toxic cesspools to dig in, and mental mountains to climb.

That Babylonian system was called the the Hammurabi code of laws, which was a collection of 282 rules, establishing standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. It was proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C.

Thus was the birth of our legal systems, our debt-money systems, and our debt-enslavement.

The primary business of our governments is creating, transacting, regulating, and enforcing debt, whether in a local county court or on the battlefields of great wars.



It was probably relatively cashless.

Coinage does not circulate much until around 600 B. C. E.

For example if you ran a pub in Babylon, I would stop by but probably not pay you three pennies every night. I would run a tab and in six months or a year you might ask me to close it. The whole thing probably ran far more on credit, which is why when this goes bonkers, the Code of Hammurabi calls for Debt Jubilee.

The advent of coins provides greater leverage for control and the eventual end of the Jubilee.

In ancient times, money have have been almost exclusive to the wholesale level.

Yes - money, then as now, was and is, a medium of exchange for trade, property and other substantial assets (labor, contracts, laws, treaties, and favor with the more powerful).

Apparently back then, the majority of people bought, sold or held few such collateralizable or monetizable assets. So apparently money, and laws governing it, were of little direct concern to them. Nowadays, most people, other than the institutionalized and children, are engaged with money and debt and their laws and contracts. Their engagement might be naive, but it's usually non-trivial.

(Though I cannot discount the possibility that we are not told truth about ancient history.)

Certainly not about the Book of Leviticus, which is about Debt Jubilee, which was standard until the Roman Republic or Empire, from Greece to India. It is in the Code of Hammurabi and the edicts of Solon.

Not about corporations, either, since for example the famous 1871 law merely creates a municipal government for Washington, D. C.; it is rather the, I think, 1871 interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment that grants "personhood" to "corporations" that pretty much blew it here. This part, however, turns out not to be British.

So far, I have found it comes from Toulouse.

The original issue was that the Carolingian Empire decided that navigable rivers could be privatized, a permanent but transferrable property right. And then the area began developing businesses as corporations as early as the 1300s.

I don't think extermination of corporations, money lending, or taxes is the end to be achieved; it is, rather, limiting their power.

Money must "work for us", rather than the other way around. A President is just my employee. I should be able to provide corvee' labor or homespun goods to cover taxes I have no money for. But what happens when they ask me for taxes and I don't have it? I just don't pay. This only leads to further harassment. Of course, if you have nothing of value, then you cannot be sued or attached, which...doesn't stop motions from being filed, and thus debt piling up.

I just went through 140 pages of artifacts from Greco-Roman trading in Tamil Nadu, India...the site is described as at par with the trade volume of the industrial revolution. Three coins have been found.

European colonists show up a thousand years later and "discover" this stuff as if they never heard of it.

The continent was definitely memory-wiped.

Like, ferociously.

In many ancient places, there was no such thing as "law", maybe just some traditions and precedents. Nothing written.

The social issue appears to be in the relationship of person : land : ruler.

Does the ruler own your land, and rent it to you? Or, by owning your land, does he own you?

Or does he not own the land?

Do you?

In terms of subsistence, those are more pressing matters than cash or credit.

I can see the point of written law, but I remain unconvinced that voting has a damn thing to do with anything. I would be perfectly fine with an autocrat if they ruled wisely. This has one answer: are the people happy?

When Leviticus was slapped on the Statehouse Bell (now called Liberty Bell), it was only understood in terms of "religious freedom". This is primitive drooling. They were ignorant of the real point. But they were remarkably free of European banks, which is something like a headstart in life.


Lincoln certainly crushed that.

I did not know much about his successor.

Bridging from the list of "Jewish expulsions", here is a bit about the man who expelled, maybe, 100 from about three states in 1862, but worked his way to Redemption (https://reformjudaism.org/redemption-ulysses-s-grant):



The story of Ulysses S. Grant's General Orders No. 11 expelling "Jews as a class" from his war zone once placed my academic career in jeopardy.

In 1982, as a young faculty member at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, I was invited to address the institution's Board of Overseers. This was an important rite of passage for a new faculty member, and I was determined to prove myself. Since my lecture date more or less coincided with the 120th anniversary of Grant's infamous 1862 order, I decided to talk about that event.

My presentation seemed to be going well…until I stated that although Ulysses S. Grant had singled Jews out as smugglers-the generally-accepted reason for the expulsion order-we now knew that smuggling had been rampant throughout Grant's territory and was by no means a Jewish monopoly. "In fact," I enthusiastically continued, "Grant's own father, Jesse Grant, was engaged in a clandestine scheme to move southern cotton northward. His partners were Jewish clothing manufacturers named Harman, Henry, and Simon Mack."

At that point a few chairs in the room shifted uneasily and my mentor, the pioneering American Jewish historian Jacob Rader Marcus, buried his face in his hands. That, I knew, spelled trouble. Clearly, I had just said something terribly wrong. Not knowing what the problem was, and fearing for the security of my job, I hobbled to the end of my lecture and invited questions.

An old man in the front row promptly raised his hand and rose to his feet. "My name is Mack," he began. Then, looking me straight in the eye, he announced, "That was my great-grandfather you were talking about."

"And," he continued, after a long and dramatic pause, "it's all true."

The room relaxed. Dr. Marcus looked up. Everybody smiled. My academic career was safe.

-snip-


Grant's friend Simon Wolf, who knew every American president from James Buchanan to Woodrow Wilson, concluded that "President Grant did more on behalf of American citizens of Jewish faith at home and abroad than all the Presidents of the United States prior thereto or since."


At age 58, Grant returned to private life. He settled into a handsome brownstone in New York City and, with help from longtime friends, members of the Seligman banking family, joined his son as a silent partner in the investment banking firm of Grant and Ward. The firm was managed by young Ferdinand Ward, known in his day as the "Napoleon of Wall Street." With Grant's illustrious name and Ward's illustrious reputation, the firm quickly succeeded. On paper, at least, Grant became rich.

By the time the 1884 election rolled around, however, Grant was destitute and largely out of politics. Ward, the Bernard Madoff-like swindler of his day, had borrowed against securities, paid out inflated dividends, used funds from one investor to reimburse another, and inevitably proved unable to cover his debts. The firm went bankrupt and Grant's entire net worth vanished.



Grant's presidency, the "golden age of American Jewry".

Here are two insightful discussions of debt-money banking, the efforts by the new Argentina President, Javier Milei, to take down their central bank, and the history of debt-money in the United States:

I will know we've won the war against the deep state when the Federal Reserve is abolished.

“The bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.”
— Josiah Stamp
