Debt Rattle Apr 1 2014: What Kills The Economy Kills The Planet Kills Us

Relax, the Kings and Queens of Authority have our backs. Just a little longer and the debt they tell us doesn’t matter will be rendered negligible by the biggest money blizzard in history.

They have come too far to let go. And they have managed to keep it humming along for 6+ years now, exponentially destroying market functions as they go.

All the Taper talk was for the benefit of friends of the Fed, for trading purposes. Must fund the Banks at any cost. The Crackup Boom will go on at an ever accelerating pace.

Then, when prices begin to rise at double digit rates, a big fat consumption/carbon tax will be used to mop up, and grant .gov control of the means of production. That will mark the end of Empire. They all end this way.

I just can’t imagine any “revaluation” (deflation) of an unbacked debt currency, one that can be created in limitless quantity, being allowed by it’s owners.

Any species that discovers ways to almost completely circumvent the pressures of natural selection will eventually overpopulate its habitat and consume most of its natural resources. Sociopathic members of said species who seek to halt that growth process, or even to reverse it, will very stupidly take it upon themselves to invent selective pressures that are unnatural. Being criminals to begin with, their chief strategies will consist of ways to STEAL the health, wealth, and lives of others. They think that this will make them even happier than they are now, with all their money, power, prostitutes and Ferraris.

Powerful psychopaths, sociopaths and pedophiles meet every year at a Bilderberg conference to discuss how to accomplish this. They so far have agreed that poisoning the planet’s waters, air and food might help. Creating expansive dead zones with endless wars, oil spills and nuclear accidents will also help. Infecting the military and police forces (that we hire to serve and protect THEM) with cowardice and callousness will extinguish any dissent. It is secretly hoped that Bill Gates, George Soros, Janet Napolitano and Hillary Clinton will be the last to survive all of this.

When you divide the number of square feet in Texas by the number of people in the world, you get a 30′ x 30″ plot for each of us, as I recall. Enough to grow just enough beans and rice to get by, but not enough to support babies. There’s a solution – – force everybody to move to a small plot in Texas. Of course, I’m kidding. The solution is to impose stiff carbon taxes, shut down the coal and oil industries, and advance Agenda 21. After a particularly dry summer and cold winter, there won’t be many of us left to deplete the remaining resources, and Bill, George, Janet and Hillary can set about to repopulate the Earth.

56, very kind of you & thank you.

Thanks Raul.

“I have long ago understood that I don’t care for being rich, since I can’t be rich without inflicting serious damage to both the people I share this planet with, and all other forms of life whose existence allowed for humans to evolve, and without which there will be no humans.”
My feelings exactly since I was a teenager. Once one takes that position, most human activity appears surreal at best, and nightmarish in the main.
No doubt Noah (if he existed) was accused of doomerism too…

Raul, this is such an old problem; it was addressed by so many, including Malthus and Garrett Hardin (The Tragedy of the Commons). Every species will face this issue if placed in an appropriate setting. You’ve probably come across the ‘test tube filling with bacteria’ as a metaphor for exponential growth in a closed system. Well, it turns out we’re no better than those bacteria. Taking everything that one can and shitting over everything else appears to be a natural property of living organisms, and humans are no exception. Our intelligence may allow us to stretch things out a bit, but does not change the nature of the problem.
I’m not sure any amount of education and ‘splaining will change our nature (as living beings) and, as a consequence, I’m not sure getting sick with worry about this natural phenomenon is worthwhile. Lately, I’ve been leaning towards the Carlin (George) approach and I must say that it works fine; I’m eating popcorn as I enjoy the ‘freak show.’
Cheers!

Yes, thanks a lot, Ilargi.
I don’t say that often enough.
This comes from that place where you see the tsunami coming, stand there and explain the fact, knowing that the act dooms you.
Saving one’s self is futile and temporary, anyway, huh?

Exposito – thanks for engaging.
The single tax has a long, fascinating history going back to Adam Smith, JS Mill, Ricardo and specifically Henry George. The idea’s high water point was perhaps 1909 when Lloyd George and Churchill attempted to introduce it in the UK – the landowners in the house of Lords had to flout the UK’s constitution to block it.
I have been following AE for several years now. I also follow just about every other idea for fixing our system – libertarianism/Austrian economics, monetary reform, zeitgeist and all of the establishment policies (socialist/keynesian etc etc).
I agree with some, I disagree with others but the single tax DOES appear to be some kind of silver bullet – the bloodless revolution we all dream of. And I am as cynical as the next man.
Take some time on the issue and see if you agree with me. There’s a nice collection of videos here:
