While the mainstream media and general public tend to assume that every new day is bringing us closer to a better future, many alternative analysts focus on the underlying weirdness of our world and all of the crisis factors that average people don’t want to think about. I have to say, in my view the “weirdness” has been escalating rather swiftly lately, and I don’t think that very many analysts, alternative or mainstream, appreciate the potential consequences.
The most important issue of course has always been the global economy. With nearly every sector of our system resting on massively inflated financial bubbles driven by central bank fiat printing and artificially low interest rates, there is only one question that really needs to be asked: How long before a geopolitical or economic shock event takes down the entire house of cards?
The mainstream philosophy seems to be that the economy is now impervious to such events. As the media now argues often, stock markets in particular do not appear to care whenever international threats present themselves. I would argue that this is because nothing substantial has actually happened quite yet. We have had a steady build-up of domestic and global political tensions, but the markets have so far been presented with a world that is comfortably predictable. It is a dangerous world with numerous potential pitfalls, but still predictable nonetheless.
And this is the very odd position we find ourselves in. A system which grows progressively more unstable year by year, and a society that has grown ignorantly used to it. To wake people up to the threats ahead would require a surprise, a slap to the face, something entirely unexpected. Here are a few developing powder kegs around the world that may present such a shock.
U.S. Debt Ceiling And The Government Shutdown Battle
I think a lot of people are missing some major points on the government shutdown situation. First, consider this — every new deal to keep the federal government funded offers a shorter stopgap than the last. The latest deal would only keep funding in place for three more weeks, then the same conflict over budget and spending initiatives happens all over again. It is not outlandish to expect that one day soon we will be faced with weekly or bi-weekly funding battles in D.C., while the greater problem of the U.S. debt ceiling is generally ignored.
You see, the “fight” within the federal government is not so much over whether or not more debt is a “bad thing.” In fact, both sides support more debt and bigger government. Instead, the fight is over the allocation of funds (debt) to certain projects and away from others. Who gets the money? And how can a government shutdown be used as leverage to gain the upper hand politically?
The thing is, this is all theater. There are no “sides” to the debate in Washington, and there is no battle. This is all designed to condition the American public into believing that the two parties are separate and opposed when they are in fact not. Beyond that, the shutdown battle also achieves a certain stress factor for the economy that many people are not aware of.
Among alternative analysts, cynicism runs rampant over a government shutdown. “Who cares?!” many of them will say, “Let it shut down!” But there are some concerns here, primarily the concern of full faith in U.S. debt issuance.
While I am all for the notion of the federal government going the way of the Dodo bird, I do not think many alternative analysts are considering the trade-off required when the system does in fact “reset.” For example, while the U.S. Treasury is supposed to remain functional during a government shutdown and certainly remains functional during stop gaps and debates over funding, this internal conflict though theatrical in nature can still produce a lack of faith in Treasury bonds and the dollar internationally. And frankly, faith is all that our economy has left to sustain itself.
If the funding battle continues with ever shorter stop gaps or with an extended period of government shutdown, there is a possibility that the largest foreign investors in U.S. debt and the dollar will begin dumping their holdings. When this is done, it will be done quietly and will be fully denied if questions arise. If China, for example, begins decoupling from U.S. debt, we will not find out until it is far too late. The Chinese would seek to be the first to dump their holding in order to avoid a vast international rush for the exits. They would want to be the first to sell, not the last.
Again, if the funding fight continues to become more aggressive and more absurd, eventually we will see a foreign dump of U.S. debt, and with it an unprecedented crisis. Whether or not this “needs” to happen is not what I am debating here, only that when it does happen, there will be consequences for us all, and being prepared for them is essential.
Syria Back On The Table
So, if you thought the Syrian situation could not get any weirder, the past week might have been a surprise.
The last major development was Vladimir Putin’s orders to pull a large percentage of standing Russian troops from the region, leaving the Assad government particularly vulnerable. This move did not surprise me in the least. In fact, I predicted that Russia would step aside in Syria in interviews last year. I also wrote about the possible problems this would cause in my article ‘A Review Of The Most Disturbing Events Of 2017’. One of these problems would be Putin leaving the door wide open for a foreign force to invade Syria, drawing in other nations like Iran or Lebanon into the fight and expanding the war tenfold.
What did surprise me, though, was the brazen launch of forces into the region by Turkey in particular. Erdogan has been pecking away at Kurdish tribes in Syria for quite some time, but his latest measures are something entirely new. Keep in mind that Turkey is still technically a NATO member and an ally of the U.S., despite Erdogan’s anti-NATO rhetoric and threats to leave the multi-nation defense pact. Also keep in mind that the U.S. government is giving monetary and weapons support to the Kurds. So, to clarify, a U.S. ally is ignoring the tense situation in Syria and the possibility of triggering a wider regional war to hunt and destroy another U.S. ally, all while Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Russia, etc., hover on the periphery waiting to jump into the fray.
This is not a recipe for diplomatic discourse. This is a recipe for disaster. Will Syria lead to WWIII as some people suggest? Probably not in the way most of them imagine. War takes many forms, including sporadic region by region conflicts, as well as economic conflicts. Global nuclear war is unlikely considering such an event would virtually vaporize decades of investment by the elitist establishment in control grids around the world. But, constant regional combat and financial disasters? THAT is a strategy that benefits them greatly.
North Korea And The Olympic-Sized Target
First let me say that the very fact that South Korea and the Olympic committee feels compelled to continue the games in the region at a time of such heightened tensions is extremely odd to me. The notion may simply be that the games will “heal” divisions in the Korean peninsula. I am not so sure about that…
I recently wrote about the North Korean war scenario and the potential false flag event during the Olympics in my article ‘Olympic Games In South Korea – Perfect Opportunity For A False Flag Attack?’. I would add to my analysis another interesting development; the negative response by South Koreans to the North’s participation in the Olympic games.
I have continually had to remind people that a war in North Korea would be the most effective trigger event for economic downturn and global distraction, though some skeptics seem to think the situation is going nowhere. Yet, all the elements are now present, including an array of naval forces ready for kinetic response, the escalation of North Korea’s missile technology to include ICBMs capable of striking the U.S. mainland, the war rhetoric grows on both sides, with the Department of Defense being the most aggressive, and now even the South Korean citizenry seems to be shunning diplomacy as they burn photos of Kim Jong-un during Olympic processions and demand a stop to cooperation with the North during the games.
This is a rather sharp break from the mainstream narrative in the U.S., which has told us that South Koreans are seeking generally passive and diplomatic relations with the North, and that the US involvement is universally unwanted. That is to say, the desire for conflict is not limited to U.S. warhawks and North Korean “fanatics,” it is also a large portion of the South Korean population that appears to prefer less-than peaceful solutions.
Add to this the latest CIA claims that North Korea’s nuclear weapons technology will be a full threat to the U.S. in a matter of months, and the news that North Korea’s armies are confiscating food stores from the citizenry at a greater rate than usual, and anyone with any sense can see what is developing here. CIA director Mike Pompeo has asserted that the Trump Administration will act to prevent North Korea from developing an arsenal of ICBMs capable of striking the U.S.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: This is going to end in war. There is no way around it.
The U.S. Dollar Continues Its Rapid Decline
I outlined this interesting development a couple weeks ago in my article ‘The Strange Case Of The Falling Dollar – And What It Means For Gold’, and so far it seems that the downward spiral of the dollar is continuing, now falling at a speed not seen since 2003.
This trend is very strange for a number of reasons – the most prominent being the fact that the dollar index is ignoring policy moves by the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates and reduce its balance sheet. Under normal economic conditions, this should trigger a dollar spike, not a dollar collapse. I predict that the Fed, under “new leadership” through Jerome Powell, will pursue highly aggressive fiscal tightening measures in 2018, including expanded interest rate hikes in the name of tempering the dollar’s decline.
If this takes place, the insane stock market bubble now in full steroid mode will feel a sudden swift kick to the nether regions. However, such a move may still not stop the dollar’s decline. This could be the first stage of the stagflationary crisis I and a few other alternative analysts have been warning about for years.
Growing Accustomed To The Weird
I think if you asked most people if they would have believed the developments of today were possible five to 10 years ago, they would say no. The danger is that when a society becomes too accustomed to instability and conflict, they become complacent in terms of their own security and their own freedoms. They might not even notice until it is too late that both necessities have been stolen away from them.
That great global slap in the face is coming, make no mistake, but the question is, can we prepare enough people for it in time to make a difference in the outcome? Reporting on these issues is often compared to “doom and gloom,” but really, it is an act of optimism. I and many other analysts are operating on the assumption that we can tip the balance by informing the public and creating a shield against calamity. Maybe this is a foolish assumption, maybe not. We shall see in due course.

There is no US Treasury, hasn’t been one since 1921, and until everyone realizes and understands this, nothing will ever be done about the economy or even the fake debt.

Social Security Numbers are issued by the UN through the IMF. The application for a Social Security number is the SS5 form. The Department of the Treasury (IMF) issues the SS5 not the Social Security Administration.

Basically, we’re the cattle on the farm managed by the elite on behalf of the hidden and, possibly, alien energy and resource-sucking owners.
I totally agree we are human cattle, chattel, capital. Executive Order 13037 – Clinton, 1997, but I think the whole “alien” from outer space thingy is a psyop too, or just another lie, and that NASA is nothing but a overly funded, poorly executing production company laundering our tax dollars into the pockets of the elite. Cheers~
If you search on_ McKinnon, ufocasebook and give the info serious consideration, you might broaden your concept a bit.
And if you research NASA and how many times they’ve been caught lying so might you. We’ve never been out of low earth orbit according to NASA due to the Van Allen radiation belts we still can’t get through so that means we never landed on the moon. One plus one always equals two so one need only apply fact, common sense and logic to realize they’ve been lying to us about the nature of “space” since the beginning when they brought over 1600 (think about that number for a second) NAZI scientists, engineers and technicians and deposited them at NASA in Operation Paperclip in the 40s. Werhner von Braun was one of them who went on to be best buds with Walt Disney, a movie maker.
Their own Jim Pettit even said they destroyed the tech to get to the moon and recreating it would be “too painful”. You can see a video of him saying just that here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl1H1WxWTuc
They’ve been caught faking ISS videos, they’ve faked communications, they’ve even faked weightlessness. On the photos of the moon landing, there are three sources of light casting shadows in three different directions, and there was absolutely no displacement of sand/dirt under it when it landed. A miracle? No, a LIE. The evidence is there for all to see – all you have to do is open your eyes.

I’m not a believer as such but Sitchin’s theories taken from the Sumerian clay tablets about the Anunnaki and their experiments using early hominids do give me pause for thought… especially since I tend to agree that the big bang and evolution theories are flawed.
We make great pets
These statements seem highly questionable, and the (official-looking) cites should have links. I’ve seen a list similar to these ’facts’ on Rense. Are you “Nicole Terry” or did you just copy some items? Anyway, I just picked one to follow up: “The U.S. Treasury is now the IMF. (Presidential Documents Volume 29-No.4 pg. 113, 22 U.S.C. 285-288).” The “Presidential Documents” cite is impossible to follow. But one can get to to the U.S.C. 285 is about acceptance of membership by US in Asian Development Bank. 286 is about acceptance of membership of US in IMF (and in the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development). 287 is about US representation in the UN. 288 covers the ins and outs of “public international organizations.” There is nothing I could see about the US Treasury being the IMF. But if you can pinpoint it for readers, it would remove some suspicion that this is a pile of inflammatory nonsense, possibly intended to waste people’s time.
Please read 22 U.S.C 285 and 286 again. What I listed is a summary, but in order to understand it in context you must first learn that there is no US Treasury and that the IMF (headquartered in DC) now manages the business of the Department of the Treasury, but without the treasury because there’s no real money to be kept anywhere. The Secretary of the US Treasury transferred to the TREASURER many functions of the Treasury.
So the only thing that exists today is A DEPARTMENT of TREASURY, which IS NOT a Treasury. See Black’s Law 5th Ed page 393 for DEPARTMENT.
DEPARTMENT (1) Literally: a separation or division; hence a separate part, or portion;
(2) A separate allotment or part of a business.
Fits right in with the government being a private corporation. The Department is not a treasury any longer, it is just called a Department of Treasury when there is no treasury. Now ask yourself this, how can a Department exist that calls itself “Department of Treasury” when Treasury no longer exists?
They created the GAO so all the Treasury people would have jobs. So why not keep the Treasury as the Department and leave all the treasury people there? Because they had to abolish it completely so the private corporation called Federal Reserve could take the functions of the real US Treasury that dealt in real money and let the Federal Reserve flood the country with private worthless IOU’s called Federal Reserve Notes to pass as money.
But fraud had to be created called the DEPARTMENT of Treasury to make people think there was still a treasury. Now ask yourself this question, if all was abolished what became of the Treasurer that signs the Federal Reserve Notes? Where did she/he go and who does she/he work for? Certainly not the United States Treasury as that’s eliminated. So whose treasury is she the Treasurer?
Definition of fraud in 37 AM JUR 2nd, 144, 146
144: “Unquestionably, the concealment of material facts that one, under the circumstance, is bound to disclose may constitute fraud. Indeed, one of the fundamental tenets of the Anglo-Saxon law of fraud is that fraud may be committed by a suppression of the truth*, *(suppression veri) as well as by the suggestion of falsehood., (suggestio falsi) .”
146: “The principle in the law of fraud as it relates to nondisclosure, that a charge of fraud is maintainable where a party knows material facts, is under the duty, under the circumstances, to speak and disclose his information, but remains silent.”
The present day General Accounting Office houses all the old treasury people that was created exclusively for them when the private corporation (U.S) abolished it. The PRIVATE *Federal Reserve” was given the job that Congress abdicated when they installed a private corporation to handle the money.
This is why the IMF, really the UN because it created the IMF, now controls the country and has since 1945 when the Governor of the IMF was placed in the office of the Secretary of Treasury. They control all the private corporate courts also and is the reason why one cannot win going against these private corporations. The courts are nothing but controlled equity contract courts as there never has been an Article III Court, ever, in America or the United States courts belonging to the American soil.
The only suspicion that this is a pile of inflammatory nonsense is yours, so I would dig a little deeper until the picture becomes more clear. Cheers~
Well said, it is obvious you are very well informed. I will check out the information you have provided here and read it for myself. Kudos for bringing all of this forward.
Thanks thrice 😉
You are welcome Grace by Faith. I indeed do the research and you are absolutely correct. Starts with the 14th Amendment I would say. But, the Constitution was created by the “Association”, elites connected to European aristocracy bloodlines, why they were set up over here. Keep it in the family :). So, again, thanks for bringing the information to us in the first place.
Thanks for response.
You don’t KNOW that my suspicion is mine alone. That’s your assumption, probably based on the fact that I’m the only one who posted a comment to that effect.
Summary or no, your cites need to support your assertions in some concrete way. In the case of the USC cites, I don’t see it – at least in 285. As previously noted, 22 U.S.C. §285 addresses matters of the Asian Development Bank. Nowhere in the section, up to 285aa, did I see anything to indicate, even obliquely, that Treasury is now IMF. Please provide a link to the text you interpret in that manner (in 285, 286 or elsewhere). Also cite a link where it even suggests that the IMF manages the Dept of Treasury. The Sec’y of Treasury is mentioned about 6 times up to 285aa. There is no word “Treasurer” up to that point.
Cite the text from which you conclude the suggestion that the Sec’y “transferred to the TREASURER many functions of the Treasury.” No Sec’y could execute such a unilateral reorganization. Any transfer of power or duties was probably done by Congress and/or the President. Such reorganization is no surprise and no cause for conspiracy theory (although that doesn’t mean there is no conspiracy). Operations associated with business were Treasury activities until the creation of the Department of Commerce and Labor in 1903; and the functions of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury were eventually established within the General Services Administration in 1949. The oldest seagoing armed service in the United States, the Coast Guard, remained in the Department of the Treasury until its transfer to the Department of Transportation in 1967. Other marine interests were administered by Treasury: the Coast Survey, the Lighthouse Service, and the Marine Hospital Service, from which the Public Health Service, and ultimately, the Department of Health and Human Services grew. The Bureau of Narcotics was part of Treasury until its functions were relocated in the Department of Justice as today’s Drug Enforcement Agency. The Bureau of the Budget, established in Treasury in 1921, was transferred to the Executive Office of the President in 1939 and now oversees the spending of federal funds as the Office of Management and Budget. Etc, etc.
I understand that the US doesn’t have an honest money supply, but interest-bearing debt. This is the Elite’s death grip on nations and people. But in the list of Treasury functions, there is nothing about it being a repository of money, but does say it used to be http://www.treasury.gov/about/role-of-treasury/Pages/default.aspx. So it’s erroneous to conclude that there is no treasury because the Dept is not doing what it isn’t claimed, or what you think it ought, to be doing. There IS no vault, if that’s what you mean 🙂 But it’s still a massive department with many jobs involved. I’d guess that accounts are held and managed by the Fed. Allegedly, in 2015, the Fed remitted nearly $100bn to Treasury. If so, do you think it went into a safe at the Dept? Or, maybe it just exists as an account at the Fed.
By the way, what do you call “real money?” If you say gold, or gold-backed paper, you’ve swallowed a bigger con and psyop than the Fed is. It’s a convoluted merry-go-round of definitions, because currencies are “pegged” to the value of gold, but what is gold valued in? Dollars, which are pegged to the value of gold? Whose value is the very definition of “fiat,” that is, by general agreement, since gold has no intrinsic value, only that assigned to it in the Elite’s money psyop. Worse, both gold and dollars (currencies) are allowed to be commodities, further muddying any possible standard that could be established. In my view, real money should not be a store of value but a standard of value, or medium of exchange – a mere convenience. And the best real money is a standardized non-commodity fiat currency disbursed interest free by Government via lending, spending and grants. There should be plenty of it easily, like we want to produce energy, which it’s a form of. But unless we change our notions of wealth and prosperity (another Elite psyop) widespread prosperity would rapidly destroy the planet, turning it into things.
The definition of ‘department’ also proves nothing. It’s a “a separation or division; hence a separate part, or portion” Under that def, Treasury is division (of Government). So what. Only def (2) says anything about a business, although I agree that the US is a corporation. So, I believe, are all states and municipalities.
The Treasurer went nowhere. Steven Terner Mnuchin is the current one (Finance Chairman for Donald J. Trump for President – yikes! 🙂 Treasurer’s signature, as well as the Treasury Secretary’s, appear on Federal Reserve Notes.
The Treasurer (not to be confused with the Sec’y) is an official in the United States Department of the Treasury who was originally charged with the receipt and custody of government funds, though many of these functions have been taken over by different bureaus of the Department. Responsibility for oversight of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the United States Mint, and the United States Savings Bonds Division (now the Savings Bond Marketing Office within the Bureau of the Public Debt) was assigned to the Treasurer in 1981. As of 2002 the Office of the Treasurer underwent a major reorganization. The Treasurer now advises the Director of the Mint, the Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Deputy Secretary and the Secretary of the Treasury on matters relating to coinage, currency and the production of other instruments by the United States.
In the final analysis, it makes no fundamental difference who manages Treasury anyway, since the entire system is an Elite construct intended to function mostly on Elite behalf, including military and intelligence—from the Founding forward.
“IMF, really the UN because it created the IMF” = non-sequitur. The 1944 Bretton Woods conference that created IMF (and the World Bank) was under UN auspices but there were 730 delegates from 44 nations—showing, in my opinion, the far-reaching power of the global financial Elite. However, the primary designers of the system were John Maynard Keynes, of the United Kingdom, and Harry Dexter White, the chief international economist of the (gulp!) Treasury Department. But how could the IMF governor become Treasury Secretary in 1945 when Treasury was abolished, as you say, in 1921? What would be the sense? By saying this, you admit Treasury has function, depository or not. Anyway, when a person goes from one organization to another it doesn’t mean ipso facto that the organization he came from now runs the one he went to. Otherwise, when Carter was president the US Gov’t should have become a peanut farm. Same with GAO, even if it had Treasury people, which you claim but haven’t proven. The GAO was created as a watchdog/investigative agency by and for Congress, not as a budgetary or financial body.
I’m not going to waste my time wading through 286 unless/until you show something concrete via link in these cites you give that allegedly prove the point about Treasury. Or any of the other assertions. Otherwise, it seems to be hypothesis. So I stick to my original statement.
Exactly.
When asked to sum up his 700-800 page book ‘The Creature of Jekyll Island’ G. Edward Griffin under a hot D.C. sun on the capital lawn to a crowd of 10,000 said …”can you say the biggest scam in the hisory of the united States….”
END the FED and their will be a thousand years of peace and prosperity.
Not just end the Fed, privatized usery in all it’s forms. Then, perhaps, people can begin to realize that currency itself, is the main mechanism for the kakistocracies control over us. Why would an intelligent and civilized race even have currency?
“If the funding battle continues with ever shorter stop gaps or with an extended period of government shutdown, there is a possibility that the largest foreign investors in U.S. debt and the dollar will begin dumping their holdings.” I’ve heard this idea from various sources, but none has answered a couple of critical questions. Maybe you would.
First, for every transaction, there is a seller and a buyer. So the question seems to be, if large investors start dumping, who in their right mind would come along to buy this detritus? Without a receiver, how can there be a “foreign dump of U.S. debt?” Secondly, the global economy, especially that between China and US, is now so intertwined and interdependent that serious hurt to one hurts the other and the whole system. There is no bigger customer for Chinese junk (pun intended) than Conehead US consumers. Why would they take a chance on hurting that market? Also of great significance is that foreigners own large amounts of stock in US military contractors, a major motive for the creation of conflict and wars. As you suggest, war, probably, and not financial transaction, will be the impetus for a global collapse (“Problem”) that sets the stage for the “Solution,” global-fascist government.
In general, I think the “concern” over N Korea being able to hit the US is just a lot of Drama as you say about DC (I say it like this: DC is a dog-and-pony show running a Good-Cop/Bad-Cop routine). Nuke psychopaths want to ‘rebuild/update our entire arsenal. This is a good ‘threat’ to act on. Just like USSR was during Cold War, whose capacity was exaggerated so we’d build more. But the whole tech, whether weapons or power, is the venue of the insane.
Anyway, it’s more than doubtful that any missile could penetrate NORAD. Secondly, maybe Jong-un has a death wish, but he has to know annihilation would shortly follow any missile attack by him on anyone else, never mind the US, whether successful or not. Really, he has no motive, either. Of course, the irony is that N Korea got its nuke tech from…? What bothers me most about all this crap is when they drop their toxic crap in the ocean. There is no end to human stupidity.
I agree that with every seller there must be a buyer. In this case, who would want to buy, as you phrase a detritus? No one. It’s all theater, false and fake. So is the currency they use. It’s just a control mechanism, a fraud for control of the masses. That’s why they spend spend spend, they know the truth of it all. Well, a lot of them, some are just ignorant buffoons. All these kakistocracies allow debt to private individuals and families because they need the currency to control their own populations to maintain their own kakistocracy. The centralized power that is the UN is a terrible idea, but these kakistocracies go along with it to keep each other in line so each can maintain their personal power hierarchy and control of populations and together do so globally. That is why 178 “Nations” signed the Agenda 21/30/50 accords. “Oh, woe is us, we are in debt! We need more posterity cuts to create stability(with a wink and a nod).” People will become incensed, will protest, throw in MSM propaganda and lying narratives, a few false flags, and whammo! more crack downs, laws, etc for more ‘security and authority’ herding the people into where they wish to ultimately go and maintaining hierarchical kakistocracy accordance to the UN/global Agendas.
I agree entirely, but suggest that the force behind it all, that set up and developed this model, is the ancient Elite Cabal, or royal/aristocratic bloodlines. Their influence on, and manipulation of, human society is very deep, such that many things we take for granted as normal, natural, beneficial, the way things must be are part of the mind-trap they’ve created for mass herding and control. Institutionalized government (IG) is one of these, and is an Elite tool, especially as opposed to the (matriarchal) tribal form, wherein there are no strangers.
This ties in with what the US was created for in the first place. The Revolution was arranged and instigated by slave-owning aristocrats and high-order Freemasons. A system was created that looks good on paper (IG), but one that can easily be infiltrated by Elite operatives and climbing “ignorant buffoons.”
There never was real-life independence from the Crown. All that happened was that a British corporation called the Virginia Company had its name changed to the United States. There’s a certain irony to the “progressive” dislike for corporate influence on government, when government is itself a corporation. The parties were created and made to appear different as a means of creating more divisiveness that could be ‘capitalized’ on for more deception and control. Going forward, the “government” was laced wth the wealthy and those enamored of capitalism, some of whom may have thought they could wrest it from Crown-control for themselves. Truly free societies were genocided to make way for an illusion of freedom based on the routine satisfaction of runaway material lust at the expense of the natural world.
But the Elite, who’ve been “at it” for thousands of years, knew that not all boats could rise without shortening the life of the planet considerably, since capitalism is predicated upon liquidating the source of life (self-devouring/suicidal) to turn it into things and cash to drive the consumer economy. The consumption of goods is proxy consumption of the planet via extreme extractivism, or insanity normalized (the Elite specialize in the normalization of insanity). Thus, poverty is a ‘necessary’ safety-valve aspect of the capitalist system, and never existed where people lived on the land in harmony with Nature.
Its susceptibility to infiltration, a major control mechanism of the Elite, makes IG virtually impossible to maintain. A benign dictatorship, such as the Libyan government under Gaddafi, would be better than the so-called democracies. But any kind of IG is fodder for Elite infiltration, and they function equally well in all forms. But by and large, though, there are only two forms of IG on the planet – overtly oppressive and covertly enslaving.
The Elite are a crowd of utterly ruthless satanic psychopaths (mostly pedophiles too). There is no atrocity beneath them in the pursuit of their Agenda, namely a global/fascist state and human-control system. The only things holding them up are lies and force – not their personal force, but unwitting and witting ‘hired guns.’ What they fear most is widespread awareness of their lies and game.
So maybe just exposing their intent, MO, tactics, and mechanisms of control is the best approach to neutralizing them. Also, one of the best mechanisms for opposing plutocracy is economic (solidarity being the challenge). Most corporations mucking things up are manufacturing or providing something for the consumer market. We need to separate absolute needs from desires, frivolity, conditioned addiction, and make purchases accordingly. Then we need to understand that the system itself is conning us, and find ways to “disobey” it. For example, stop paying all income taxes and stop all payments of interest-bearing debt. Of course, this might crash the system. But they’re going to do it anyway.
Maybe we need to consider that we’re so far down the wrong road, not just politically and governmentally, but in our fundamental beliefs and sense of reality, population levels, and techno-addicted way of life, that attempting to rescue government, economics, and finance prior to a remarkable evolution in mass consciousness will be like trying to fix a watch with a pipe wrench. Preventing such an evolution is a primary goal of the Illuminati. What they fear the most is widespread realization that the reality they’ve been selling and nurturing is a prison—even when it has appeared to work properly and been entertaining.
I am with you Peter Tocci. I believe most Khazars now, centuries of infiltration.
Large deficits are intentional . The REPUBs always want tax cuts for the 1%, and they know this bloats deficits and debt. The purpose is to cry “we’re broke”, when discussing anything other than military, intelligence or domestic surveillance, for which there seems to be infinite funding, with WH and Congress competing to see who can throw the most money at the Pentagon, which is known to be the most wasteful part of government.
Crying about debt is intended to destroy, or at least privatise, public programs like education, Soc Sec, Medicare/Medicaid, etc.
