Rapier, your information is so far off its borderline criminal itself. And deflects blame from the real culprits. Every major economy in the world has over borrowed, a lot of them just to buy essentials and get by, some because of outright ignorance such as in the UK where levering up and speculating on housing is a religious ritual.
Blaming each other is dividing and weakening us. The EU et al are just tools of a layer of criminal parasites who see themselves as gods, and as a literal separate species that has the duty to control the population for the sake of mother earth. Keeping wealth and therefore consumption away from the masses is their duty as gods of this earth. It’s perverse. And criminal. The sooner we stop blaming each other and recognising the situation the sooner we can refresh this one way system and devise one that doesn’t rely on destruction of people to save the planet
Good point. Pure self interest certainly can and does lead to monopolistic behaviour without the need for a stated goal, but we’ve been led to believe this is capitalism by those exact class of people benefiting from monopoly. And when you have the ability to extend almost limitless credit in return for tangible capital then of course you’re going to do these things. But that’s my point, the ability to extent limitless credit isn’t part of a working system, and this ability was granted as a result of a very detailed plan. We can all agree this system doesn’t work for the vast majority of people, we can’t rely on government to change it, they’re already captured by the credit net, as planned, so we have to pry ourselves out with successful alternatives and just get on with it.
As an aside I’m getting tired of the amount of blogs and alternative media, especially recently now everything’s becoming unglued, saying the system is broken (including my own comments!). We all know it’s broken (those of us willing to hear it), and the best we can say is “well it’s the best we have”, and then sign some petitions and hold up banners. Once we stop justifying it with this thinking and show people there are genuine working alternatives where you don’t have to sit in drum circles then we can move on. Unfortunately most people have become defeatist or just plain angry, and that’s exactly what the monopolists thrive on. So let’s start growing our own food for local use, educate ourselves with a multitude of skills, use technology such as micro-finance platforms or crowd funding to purchase small scale production capital for local use, work as small hives of cooperating capital owners. It can genuinely work. If other alternatives are being enacted and working then lets hold them up as examples. The tide will turn, and then we can start bringing justice to those who followed and screwed people in this current system. Or maybe I’m wrong
Onerous debt and indefinite currency (counterfeiting) is the problem. Theft and impoverishment is the consequence. You both miss the mark because this was the plan all along. None of the inequality we see is by coincidence. A quick glance of the IMF papers on their website, and a look at everything that has happened just in recent times, are all the evidence you need.
Exponential debt creation / counterfeiting, and a final consolidation at the end was always the plan. It’s lovingly called the Economic Hitman Approach. It’s why the counterfeiting classes were so desperate to install a central bank in the US throughout the 19th Century (emulating the Bank of England’s success in thieving from the hard working English – hence Oliver Twist) and then succeeded after much deception.
Inflation of the money supply by issuing debt (counterfeiting) is the snare period, it sucks everyone in and those issuing the debt gain more and more claims over people and economic value. Everyone feels richer by having more currency, it’s not really theirs though. Savings get replaced by debt, and economic value is skimmed away gradually to the debt owners.
The deflationary period, or contraction in currency/debt when people stop spending from being burdened with interest and debt repayments is the consolidation period. The shake down by the debt owner class. Banks consolidate, companies consolidate, and governments consolidate power over the people. This is evidenced in almost every major news item since the crisis. TBTF banks getting bigger, company acquisitions at all time highs, inequality the highest it’s ever been, militarized police, energy wars, fake revolutions / regime changes, TTIP & TPP, IMF monetary reform proposals and gold (finite currency) ownership rebalancing, the list goes on and on.
2008 was too soon to properly consolidate, although there has been lots of gradual consolidation still. ZIRP, QE etc. extended the snare period a little longer. They’re now almost ready for full consolidation. It’s not a conspiracy as such, it’s a class of people working towards a common, well published goal of monopoly, and the board is about to be packed up.
Rather than gathering signatures for empty politicians to ignore, we need to get on with creating an alternative to this spiders web we’re stuck in. As soon as an alternative is seen as successful then others with copy, and it will snowball. Creating hive economies where ordinary people are capital owners, and receive income from that capital (food production, small scale manufacturing etc.) and where there are enough of these “hives” so that failures don’t threaten the whole, is one alternative. It also solves the problem of automation on labour, where previous labourers become capital owners / owners of the robots replacing them. Using a finite currency like gold or crypto currencies where counterfeiting is prohibitively expensive, is also a way to keep purchasing power with those that earn it. This is something I think TAE is aligned with?
If you’ve made it this far in the comments section you deserve a medal.
