    F-theory doesn’t deserve that much press. I used to read him for a while, roughly during the 2009-2010 period. His writings on gold were always hard to digest and bloated, and in the end, I just find most of it to be just “ideas” without empirical evidence backing it up.

    The one article, which I still very much like to revisit is more to do with debt, and BTW you must have read it as you posted one of the graphs from it: https://fofoa.blogspot.co.nz/2010/06/its-debt-stupid.html

    IMHO, this is the crux of any economic policy. Knowing that debt can be both productive and destructive, i.e. it can lead to both real growth or fictional growth, what kind of regulations should be enforced for Consumer Debt and Corporate (i.e. investment) Debt, two very different animals.

    My view is that most kinds of consumer debt in the current form are pretty evil and that in a “hard-ish” currency world should NEVER be enforced by the government. I.e. if you take out a loan you’ll be never legally required to pay it back (but of course your credit rating could suffer). I’m also thinking that real-estate finance could be based on equity rather than debt – the bank could have a stake in your house, thus making it suffer more when things go sour.

    Corporate debt, on the other hand, is different as it’s supposed to be productive (unless it’s speculative of course). Even there, I feel that equity-based investment could work better than monetary debt in many situations, as it would require the lender to have more skin in the game. Nonetheless, I can definitely see why business would need easy ways to raise money (equity does seem a lot more complicated), and the downsides of company bankruptcies are not as bad as the downsides of personal ones.

    And of course, fractional/fictional reserve banking in the current form should be abolished too. Private entities creating government-backed money is a ridiculous privilege, nothing more than a parasitic rent.

    We are meant to get lost in endless details. The macro detail is best – the mechanism by which ALL money is created and distributed within a society exposes the fraud that is lost in more micro analyses.

    This is why Steve Keen is so close… but just not quite there.

    The looting mechanism embedded within Debt Money Tyranny is visually expressed here:

    Of course. The term “philosophy” is merely shorthand for “political philosophy,” and it is always an engine and never a camera.

    FOFOA is obviously influenced by the Austrian school and, therefore, has massive blinders induced by his dogma. The problem is that his “debt-hungry collective” was trained to be debt-hungry for a reason, as it is through debt that the individuals of the collective lose their liberty and are controlled by a very few. Gold as money will free nobody because the value of gold itself is a fiction, but its scarcity is a fact. Control the gold, control the collective through constrained liquidity. Where’s the freedom?

    One of the goals of the Huxley’s Ultimate Revolution was to get people to love their servitude… the gold bugs seem to fit that bill.

    My current view is that the oligarchs may well use gold to claim to get rid of “bad political monetary decisions” (decisions mandated by banksters behind the scenes) by tying money to gold. That could easily be correlated with the Greatest Depression collapse and scapegoated for the same.

    Folks, the monetary system isn’t the problem, it is that hard core, wicked, demonic criminals run it and the general populace is wilfully as ignorant as a lava rock.

    All evidence points to tyranny kicking some hard core *ss over the next several decades…

    The flip side of this reality is that money ought to be the one thing that the people watch more closely than anything else since it is so closely associated with being a catalyst of and accelerating evil across the globe… but the chumptocracies we all live in don’t have a clue.

    Hi RE, I’ve been thinking about your view of money and I think our views are moving closer and closer the more I evaluate it.

    Before I said that money “greases the skids” of the innate human selfish factor.

    I think that visual is a gross understatement. Money doesn’t “grease the skids” as much as it is a “hyper-accelerant” for the selfishness that resides in humanity.

    Think of human selfishness as the seed and the money as the fertilizer, water and sunshine.

    I think that analogy works much better.

    Hard gold outside the system is good as a store of wealth over the long term. Short term is anybody’s guess – it is a gamble like everything else in this “all risk, no reward” world they’ve created for the proles. The oligarchs can drive up gold if they want. Or they can collapse it by collapsing everything else. Or tax it at 90% or simply make it illegal.

    All while they loot billions from segregated account and the “liberals” protect these crooks.

    And don’t get me started on the bankster/government duopoly neo-Opium Wars they are running against the developed world.

    They do have a point, though. Most of society is more gullible than a child looking at a puppy in a windowless white van… unwilling to admit the obvious – or even discuss it.

    People seem to think that figuratively pulling the covers over their eyes give them some kind of force field protection against the criminals.

    It does not. But that’s a mature viewpoint, something that is in very, very short supply today.

    The tide is turning, though. Slowly, but surely, hence the in your face police state, freedom being defined as an assassination President who can kill anyone, anywhere without any evidence or oversight and re-education camps for political activists.

    These b*stards will probably name their re-education rooms “Winston” and “Smith.”

    Shock therapy is always imminent – it’s the only thing the banks and their cronies know how to do (threaten shock therapy and/or implement it). It ONLY works consistently in a paradigm of growth/expansion. We are not in that paradigm any more, and that is the point – deterrence is DEAD.

    If you think about it, flooding the system with liquidity is a form of deterrence – it punishes people for “betting” on the other side, whether that be investors, hard workers, savers, retirees, or anyone else who has chosen to face reality and be disciplined (personally, not institutionally) in their lives. That punishment will only be effective when the costs of being disciplined outweigh the benefits.

    If/when a significant portion of investors, consumers and/or citizens of the world choose to keep their money, efforts, support out of the system no matter what the central bankers threaten to do or actually do, for whatever reason, then Gary Jenkins and all others like him will be exposed as puppets of the Naked Emperor, and their predictions will be flat out wrong.

    Hi Ash, in other words, the level of tyranny we will live under is exactly equal to the level of tyranny that we will passively accept.

    One aspect of psychology that the delites (they aren’t elites, people, they are delites) have down pat is that reality doesn’t matter at all, unless it impacts perception.

    The delites are masters of manipulating perception against anything that is reality.

    So, you are correct in your analysis, but the factor you don’t mention is that your view won’t take effect until perception begins to more closely match reality. That is a big wild card, IMHO.

    It could be now or it could be later.

    BTW, All that liquidity can be summed up in one word – looting.

    It has nothing to do with anything else other than raw, in your face, Darwinistic level theft (they are “fit” to steal and deceive us and we are “unfit” to figure out their deceptions and stop them).

    That’s how they roll.

    IMHO, I could see it going either way this time around… but I tend to think the odds favor another trillion dollar theft by the banksters. At some point, though, they will determine they’ve stolen enough cash and bank credit to buy up a fully depressed planet – so stealing won’t matter any more.

    Hyperinflation in the drachma could easily be deflation in dollar terms.

    When Argentina hyperinflated their currency, did that mean that an American with dollars lost purchasing power or gained purchasing power?

    It depends on one’s perspective. Think about it for a bit, I’m sure you’ll get it..

    So, you are predicting that, no matter the size of the budget deficit of the USA federal govt., the US dollar will INCREASE in purchasing power? In that case, why don’t they run a deficit of a million dollars per person (320 trillion) and give a million dollars to every person in the states?

    How about looking at gold as your base monetary unit? From that point of view, the cost of American goods and American labor is decreasing. You can buy more stuff with the same number of ounces. That’s textbook deflation.

    Or anther thing to consider — if the Fed printed x% more money since 2008 and the economy hasn’t increased in size, then you’d expect (on average) all goods and services to cost x% more. So if money supply is up 25% and groceries up 10%, that could be considered deflation (less inflation than expected).

    Gold as a currency isn’t good for the following reasons.

    1. The financial psychopaths own the vast majority of this. BTW, I suspect they could institute some form of gold standard to usher in the depression – and they’ll just blame the inflexibility of the gold standard and claim “nobody saw it coming.” I believe this is why the IMF is now floating the idea of a gold standard. The IMF are run by Art of War class criminal warriors – if they want it, watch your back.

    2. Gold isn’t flexible and it doesn’t account for credit. The gold standard didn’t prevent the Great Depression, nor any of the other myriad of depressions we’ve seen in the past under a gold standard.

    3. The gold standard has never worked in history, except for the rich to asset strip everyone else.

    I get that it is shiny and cool and stores value, but money needs to be more than that – like accessible to poor folks and not so easily manipulated by the uber wealthy.

    Do some research on Bill Still (The Secret of Oz on Youtube is a great place to start).

    Any analysis of “money supply” has to take into account credit as well. In spite of creating $2.5 trillion in *debt receipts,” aka “dollars,” per year, monetary and credit aggregates have essentially flat lined (small improvement).

    Since that isn’t sustainable, what do you think happens when that $2.5 trillion goes away as the banksters eventually defend their trillions in debt paper and their cash?

    There will be no bailouts for debtors… just servitude.

    Bailouts are for the oligarchs… debtors are the “pod” bodies in the Matrix that the oligarchs suck dry.

    I mean, isn’t it obvious by now?

    They are definitely FUBARed and internationally we need to consider how to prevent this many reactors from going into meltdown and just how many can be located in one area without posing so great a risk.

    To me this is an example of over extended resources to supply the endless growth economy. As demands so greatly outstrips resources the country compromises protocols and safety.

    This is not the conclusion but the precursor to the problem of suppling infinite growth without infinite resources. The short sited solution is to continuously compromise the rules so the public doesn’t realize.

    The #1 driver of growth is the fraudulent debt based monetary Ponzi scheme that will collapse and its Ponzi operators.

    If we had debt free money held in stable quantity and a populace that abhorred anything big (understanding big is bad) and wanted to be sustainable, it could.

    Under a debt based Ponzi monetary system, the concept of sustainability is a non starter because the monetary system CAN’T BE STABLE.

    Yet, the Ponzi operators and their Ponzi monetary scheme get a near complete pass – BECAUSE THEY CONTROL THE ESTABLISHMENT INSTITUTIONS VIA FINANCING THEM.

    Who is the #1 producer of carbon? The Ponzi operators inflating the debt based Ponzi monetary scheme… This credit bubble correlates very nicely to a carbon bubble!

    https://www.keepandshare.com/doc/3324744/wmdebt-graph-3-79k?tr=77

    Carbon follows credit, ladies and gentlemen… that means the banksters are more to blame for excess carbon and enforce “grow or die” onto the population via their fraudulent debt based monetary system.

    Not to mention these Central Banking cartel criminals finance the wars that are massive carbon emitters…

    So why do I have to make this point – which is so obvious when the data is actually reviewed without the Big Finance Capital propaganda filter?

    Because I’m not on their payroll – a payroll that self selects people who will say what they want them to say and will hush up what they want hushed up.

    No. What I’m saying is there is the narrative fed to the proles and then there is reality.

    The narrative is that the government is sovereign and that it makes the decisions in its best interest.

    This is 100% false. The truth is that a bunch of financial oligarchs are in charge and elections are 95% about what lying psychopath will serve the interests of the oligarchs.

    I get that the education system, the media system, the political system all claim otherwise, but they are all funded by the financial oligarchs… and predators don’t tell the prey what process is being used to victimize them.

    Debt based money is a fraud. It is a weaponized monetary system ENGINEERED to asset strip society AND GOVERNMENTS and transfer wealth and control to the financial oligarchs.

    Think of it as “The Ultimate Revolution” – but of the financial oligarchs on everyone else. They are following The Art of War and using deception to wage war on the people and their nation states.

    The borrowers (government) is SERVANT to the lender (financial oligarchs). No sovereign government would ever set up a system where they depended on someone else to fund it – only a captured government would do such a thing.

    So, the hypothesis that the government will defend its debt by “printing” is one that fails to understand the underlying data of the system.

    The financial oligarchs WANT the nations to crash and burn and they won’t finance or promote anyone who won’t execute their strategy. Ron Paul is an outsider, so they do everything they can to minimize his influence. He wins Iowa, they lie and say he didn’t. They lied and said one of their operatives won it and the “establishment” played right along – THE PEOPLE’S WILL BE D*MNED.

    The point being is that this whole process is about wealth and control conveyance from the proles to the control freak financial feudal lords.

    All you really need to know is that they are in charge and they control trillions in debt instruments (shedding toxic debt instruments to “government” as fast as they can – again, no sovereign government would kneel and slobber like this!) and they control the destiny of the nation’s monetary future through their Trojan Horse – the Federal Reserve System.

    Once you know this, you will realize that straight to hyperinflation, or even serious inflation, ultimately hurts the oligarchs AND THEY WON’T HURT THEMSELVES, THAT’S WHAT SOCIETY IS FOR – to be hurt by them.

    When they are done turning over the toxic assets to the proles via their government operatives, they will eventually pull the plug on the world’s economies and bankrupt the world.

    They will make sure that their wealth is left intact in order to buy up the world for PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR. They will ELIMINATE THE COMPETITION NOT TIED INTO GOVERNMENT. They will CAPTURE STATE ASSETS.

    Governments will go broke as their operatives in government execute their will. This is all PART OF THE PLAN.

    Once the oligarchs have rolled up as many assets under their front corporations and seized control of as much nation state assets as they can (toll roads, water plants, power plants, etc…) and eliminated their competition, then they will hyperinflate and “balance their books,” all while wailing on about how “capitalism failed” and black holing the idea that they were the ones who criminally murdered it.

    Got it?

    Now, what does that mean here? Is QE done? It all depends on the oligarch decisions. If they can steal trillions from the ignorant proles and use QE to do it, why not? If the suckers keep lining up to get sucker punched, punch ’em, right?

    “Man who would not reason (think and use his own observations), a man who could not reason for himself is therefore a beast of burden and meat on the table by choice and consent.”

    They’ll continue to eat up the monetary wealth of society and blame the idiot morons who let them do it. You know, “survival of the fittest” and all. It is “nature’s” way, or so the psychopaths have taught us.

    What they won’t do, AND THEY WILL MAKE THIS DETERMINATION *NOT* GOVERNMENT, is to destroy the dollar BEFORE turning those debt instruments and dollars into society’s real wealth.

    It is sooooo elementary.

    This *is* Art of War economic warfare and they mean to do severe harm to the world’s populations. They’ve set up a structure to starve the third world to death BY DESIGN. 25 million a year – Hitler in his darkest moments could never dream of such death… and to obfuscate it with a systemic weapon instead of a real weapon?

    QE isn’t about restarting the Ponzi scheme THAT MUST COLLAPSE at some point. It is all about quantitatively easing the losses of the oligarchs by transferring trillions in toxic assets to the proles and using public money to pump up the stock market so the insiders could get out at inflated prices.

    Again, you probably think the government is sovereign. It isn’t. It is under the thumb of those PRIVATE INTERESTS, many of whom are FOREIGN, that finance the operations of the government as well as the candidacies of their political operatives.

    Obama works for the financial oligarchs, NOT the poeple. Bush worked for the financial oligarchs, NOT the people.

    But it all still seems unreal. We are going to have to let go of SOMETHING… but we don’t want to. And so I have no idea what that “something” is. Greece is the case in point. They don’t want austerity, but they do want to stay in the Euro. They don’t want to balance their budgets (who does, really!) but Germany won’t keep siphoning off billions to keep the Greeks in cigarettes. I just can’t figure out how this will end. I actually think there is SOME small chance that Greece might STAY in the Euro, as they stand at the cliff’s edge facing something far more painful and unknowable. Papa Germany might be mean, but you know he’s there if you “behave”. It’s not the first time the poor will have been scared into accepting that they can only become poorer. Seems like a case of mutually assured destruction to me, and in such a scenario, I can imagine a very, very long stalemate.

    Obviously, I’m not saying that is the right thing to do. I’m saying I just don’t see a solution in any way shape or form, but can’t imagine the alternative either! Can you? I mean, can you really IMAGINE the alternative collapse? It’s too surreal, and so even if it’s probable, we just won’t do what we have to do to really prepare because it’s like a pitch for a cheesy Hollywood sci-fi movie. Or maybe the reality we end up with will be even stranger than our fiction?

    Or, because I simply can’t make my mind up entirely, things really do unravel as chaotically as Ash believes. Like when your mum dies, you just always knew it would hapen, but never really believe it.

    The monetary system was ENGINEERED by some oligarchs to systematically asset strip society and enrich themselves. Period. It is a FRAUDULENT system. I get that this BIG LIE makes people so uncomfortable that they can’t even entertain the idea in their mind, BUT IT IS TRUE!

    Wall Street twisted Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest’ portion of the Theory of Evolution so out of proportion to reality that they effectively adopted a murder/suicide pact for humanity.

    Fucking IDIOTS!

    agelbert, at the very top of this cesspool, there is some method to this madness. Exponentially growing populations with exponentially growing resource requirements will drain the psychopathic oligarch resources down to a level they do not.

    In short, they know economies can’t grow forever, the name of the game, from their point of view, is to take control of the Earth’s resources and, shall we say, “cull demand” for the resources they want to retain for themselves.

    I’m sure you can be creative and think about how they would “cull demand.” Some people believe that means kill of a whole lot of people – they do say over population is their #1 concern for “humanity” and mass death *is* the only solution to their problem.

    Somehow, I don’t think they will volunteer to be the solution, if you get my drift.

    IOW, their interest is not the status quo, but to roll up the real assets under their front corporations and to prevent humanity from using up the Earth’s limited resources.

    They are reckless to a degree, though. IMHO, that will be their undoing, but they will be able to take down a lot of the rest of us as they work out their empire building, “demand culling,” societal enslaving strategy.

    The word “hyperinflation” came in the paragraph that came after the question, “so what happens after that?” Meaning, what will happen in EUROPE after Greece exits, and/or others eventually follow. If Greece reverts back to the Drachma, there is a good chance they will experience HI.

    I was NOT talking about the USD.

    whatever explanation, “hyperinflation” contradicts “Automatic Earth’s” persistent view point of “a severe deflation would be ubiquitous and pervasive imminently”

    how would a few countries defy “steady and globally deflationary trend and progression in memorable global deflationary depression”?

    reason and examples, please.

    Hyperinflation in the drachma could easily be deflation in dollar terms.

    When Argentina hyperinflated their currency, did that mean that an American with dollars lost purchasing power or gained purchasing power?

    Using Marx’s predictions about Communist utopia to discredit his predictions about capitalist meltdown. That has to be some sort of logical fallacy!

    The Straw Man is Ash.

    So now I have actually become “The Straw Man”?? I think you maybe meant Ilargi here, because he wrote this article.

    No, you aren’t a straw man, Ash, but you did use one and, based on your Straw Man fallacy, you accused me of using a fallacy when I did not. I didn’t use his lack of predicting Mao and Stalin to discredit his views on a capitalist meltdown.

    What did I write that gave you that idea?

    I didn’t say that at all. You just made that up out of whole cloth. What was the motivation that led to this false conclusion?

    In fact, I think he was correct that the “Capitalist system” (true capitalism, like true communism, is a myth – both are different forms of oligarchical dictatorships) would eventually melt down (technically, the oligarchs would rig the monetary, criminally blow a credit bubble, loot people under the con that they are trying to save the economy and then collapse everything to take control of it an dproclaim themselves rulers). In fact, I constantly explain exactly what methods are used to by the oligarchs to systematically rob people under the fallacy of “capitalism.”

    Even if we had a true capitalist society, my hypothesis is that it would go bad as the selfish people would then rig such a system to their advantage and everyone else’s disadvantage – ending in an oligarchical dictatorship.

    I didn’t argue against my own belief system, Ash, so what caused the “rush to judgement” on your part?

    But I also think the data shows Marx’s failures cost over 100 million lives. Lest you then accuse me of thinking that this makes oligarchical dictatorship capitalism better (when I didn’t say that)…

    …I think the “Capitalist” oligarchical dictatorship model has cost far more human lives than Mao and Stalin in the “Communist” oligarchical dictatorship model… just for the record. The oligarchs trick the people into thinking they are “free,” when they pretty much repeat the oligarch funded “consensus,” and then they set up systems that kill people by the 10s of millions every year. About 25 million die of starvation and malnutrition… millions more through corporate societal asset stripping wars and who knows how many with the toxic diet they promote.

    The real issue is that humanity is between a rock and hard place when human selfishness rules the day.

    Legitimately criticizing Marx in one area doesn’t mean that Marx didn’t have incredible insight in others. It just means he had a blind spot – a very big one at that – and since you didn’t point it out, I did.

    The lesson is that we all need to be very careful of potential blind spots – even if those who have a special genius in a particular area.

    Hi Ash, that’s why systemic control is so important.

    It doesn’t matter what the Greeks want or think now, they are under control of the financial oligarchs.

    Even if they leave the Euro, they are toast. They will impoverish their savers and the Big Finance Capital oligarchs likely won’t sell them oil or, if they do, it will be for an arm and a leg.

    The only real chance we have is to identify who the real criminals are (you know, the “authorities”), put them in jail and set up sovereign nation states that each have the ability to issue their own currency within certain limits.

    If I’ve missed something here, do share the details of how wishing austerity will go away will actually make it go away.

    BTW, humanity has to wake up to the fact that they can’t rob future generations forever. The people are nearly as bad as the oligarchs, they just don’t have the power to inflict their selfishness onto the others that the banksters have attained.

    It’s a cesspool of greed (selfishness).

    BTW, did Marx reject “communism” after predicting evil dictators would take control (Stalin and Mao) or did he have his own gaping blind spot as well?

    The problem, then, is far larger than Bernanke and the Fed. It is a global capitalist economy run by a few powerful global banks.

    Hi Ralfy, you in appropriately limit the Fed’s sphere is influence.

    The Fed is the Trojan Horse for the Architects and Controllers of the Federal Reserve and the structure of the monetary system.

    Those derivatives only exist because the Fed (actually the Controllers of the Fed) wanted them to exist.

    The Fed is much more than its individual policy decisions – THE ENTIRE SYSTEM exists at the behest of the Fed and its Architects and Controllers.

    It was the Fed that pushed for the end of Glass-Steagall and the Commodity Futures Modernization Act.

    Ultimately, it is the Architects and Controllers of the Fed who are to blame, so just evicting the Fed won’t do a lot so long as those con people stay in charge with all their fraudulent, ill gotten, crime syndicate wealth still in place.

    The game I see in play is…

    Steps:
    1. Blow a massive credit bubble (~25 years)
    2. Loot as much cash and bank credit as possible under the excuse of “saving the system” (this is where we are now)
    3. Execute a wicked deflationary bust to roll up society’s assets under Big Finance Capital corporate fronts.
    4. Let the American subjects wallow in abject poverty for a while.
    5. Promise some goodies to the American people but, alas, there has to be some strings attached, “for your safety.” Oh, and you have to roll up under this cool world currency system run by the same Big Finance Capital criminals who created our current fraudulent systems.

    Of course, they need to concurrently set up police states, destroy freedoms like the Bill of Rights and set up re-education camps for political activists.

    I apologize for being confusing, it’s a bad habit. Let’s try another tack:

    At issue is secured and unsecured lending. If you make a deposit of $10,000 you are making an unsecured loan to your bank. Mr. Bank can turn around and lend this money ten or more times. this is infamous ‘fractional lending’. From $10k your deposit becomes $90k of loans, only $10k or which is secured (by your deposit). In effect you have indirectly created $80k in new money or 8x your deposit you inflationist you!

    And you blame Bernanke! Horrors!

    I’m not sure who you are talking to, but I don’t blame Bernanke for being anything other than a lying, fraudulent front man for a fraudulent system being controlled by a bunch of con men.

    The Fed is ultimately controlled by the people who finance the BODs of the Federal Reserve. Bernanke is an employee. He was put into position because he does what he’s told.

    Big Finance Capital controls the Fed such that THEIR AGENDA is worked out in the markets. More for them, less for everyone else.

    Also, the Federal Reserve System is the system that mandates fractional reserve lending be legal. Of course the Federal Reserve System is at fault – and especially THE ARCHITECTS and CONTROLLERS of that system.

    It’s bizarre that you’d mock an attack on these criminals, even one wrongly levelled primarily at this fraud’s front man.

    steve from virginia post=2858 wrote:
    A central bank cannot make unsecured loans and still remain a central bank.

    Oh yes they can – they lie and keep the public away from the books. Come on, stop being so naive – these people are lying criminals. They lie about the trivial like their mandate. Look it up – it isn’t a dual mandate (low unemployment, stable prices), it is a singular mandate to keep credit and monetary aggregates “commensurate with” the long term productive capacity of the nation.

    What did these criminals do? They broke their mandate and took monetary and credit aggregates PARABOLIC TO the long term productive capacity of the nation! That PARABOLIC MOVE is a ROOT CAUSE of the ongoing collapse, but everyone lies about that, too, and blames something else.

    Which is EXACTLY what the central banks are creating by taking on toxic trash assets valued at top value. The typical mistake, though, is to think that this new money will not require repayment with interest ONCE THE CENTRAL BANKS STOP THE LYING, and they can’t lie forever.

    If CBs make unsecured loans they are instantly PERCEIVED as being insolvent. Quote from Bagehot:

    Just so, an immense system of credit, founded on the Bank of England as its pivot and its basis, now exists. The English people, and foreigners too, trust it implicitly. Every banker knows that if he has to prove that he is worthy of credit, however good may be his arguments, in fact his credit is gone.

    That’s exactly how I perceive them. I also perceive the mega banks who had to legalize securities fraud in order to pretend not to be insolvent as insolvent. Maybe they’ve had time to switch their toxic assets to one or two banks by now – so maybe a couple of the winners aren’t insolvent any more… it is impossible to tell when they all can lie through their teeth.

    Still burning down the straw man, steve. Nobody I know claimed the Fed let $10 on #3 in collateral. NOBODY. What they have said is the Fed takes $10 in face value MBSes that are worth $5 and lends $10 against this.

At which point, the Fed will demand that the tax payers repay the Fed for the difference between the $1,000,000 and the price the MBS actually sold for, MINUS $10KS OF FEES PAID TO THE BANKSTER, NO DOUBT.

    The Straw Man is Ash. Here in reality, which you craftily avoided, the example is selling the Fed a $500 market value care that was bought 5 years earlier for $1,000.

    I also believe that humanity has to realize that big is bad, very bad, and we should all do the best we can to support those businesses that are small and local. Big businesses will SELFISHLY leverage their wealth and power to eliminate their competition so they can grow even bigger. They will then infiltrate the education system and dog train the students how this is most excellent.

    The the average person could own a business again, IF we valued small and were properly terrified of BIG.

    The issues are complex, brother… we live in interesting times.

    Hold on tight!

    RE, I have to agree that humanity is doomed on its current course. When doom hits, the root cause probably doesn’t matter too much.

    IMHO, even the oligarchs are being played for fools… their lust for “more” will destroy themselves as well. It has already made them bitter, angry, soulless people.

    RE, I owe you my thought process on evil being a human trait rather than a monetary trait… so here goes…

    e·vil (vl)
    adj. e·vil·er, e·vil·est
    1. Morally bad or wrong; wicked: an evil tyrant.
    2. Causing ruin, injury, or pain; harmful: the evil effects of a poor diet.
    3. Characterized by or indicating future misfortune; ominous: evil omens.
    4. Bad or blameworthy by report; infamous: an evil reputation.
    5. Characterized by anger or spite; malicious: an evil temper.
    n.
    1. The quality of being morally bad or wrong; wickedness.
    2. That which causes harm, misfortune, or destruction: a leader’s power to do both good and evil.
    3. An evil force, power, or personification.
    4. Something that is a cause or source of suffering, injury, or destruction: the social evils of poverty and injustice.

    https://www.thefreedictionary.com/evil

    mo·ral·i·ty (m-rl-t, mô-)
    n. pl. mo·ral·i·ties
    1. The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct.
    2. A system of ideas of right and wrong conduct: religious morality; Christian morality.
    3. Virtuous conduct.
    4. A rule or lesson in moral conduct.

    Given the definition of evil and moral, that portion of the definition can’t apply to money because money is inanimate. It can’t be moral or immoral because it has no conduct, rather, it influences the conduct of people. The people have the conduct, not the money.

    Point #2 in the definition of evil can’t apply, either, because money doesn’t cause anything… people cause things. Money is inanimate.

    Point #3 could apply to money, but again, it is PEOPLE that will bring the misfortune to the person with money, NOT the money itself. So having money could be a bad omen of being robbed and killed BY PEOPLE.

    Point #4 suffers the same fate. It could apply to inanimate money, but, ultimately, it is DECISION OF PEOPLE that would put money is such a light.

    Point #5 doesn’t apply to inanimate money.

    So, some definitions of evil don’t apply to money. The ones that do could only apply because of DECISION MADE BY PEOPLE.

    By the way, they need not apply at all, again, based on DECISIONS MADE BY PEOPLE!

    Now, assume that money had some kind physical mind control properties like a drug of some sort. If the chemical change in the human was directly initiated by the money and that was the root cause for the bad HUMAN CHOICES, I could see blaming money as evil.

    But abstract concepts can’t EXTERNALLY impact people in this manner.

    If human behavior isn’t externally motivated, as in drug induced mind control, then the HUMAN BEHAVIOR has to be INTERNALLY generated.

    James 13-14 sums up this principle nicely, IMHO.

    James 1:13-14
    13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.

    The bad news is that one’s evil (selfishness – not caring for others equal to oneself) comes from within. The good news is that one’s evil comes from within so one can take action to mitigate it.

    Can money “grease the skids” of human evil desire? Absolutely. Is it the root cause of human evil desire? Absolutely not.

    That’s nonsense. What is it – $11 trillion in American mortgage debts need to be paid back in dollars. In fact, every one of those dollars is owed to someone – and the wealthiest of those people have the government and their armies ready and able to back up their debt dollar tyranny.

    What people don’t seem to quite grasp is “losing confidence in dollars” is equivalent to “losing confidence in the debt those dollars represent.”

    Think it through. Understand the game that is afoot.

    It is a game of control, or domination over the world by, ultimately, a very small group of people at the top of a hierarchical, top down system of, essentially, well marketed dictatorship.

    The EU foreshadows the ultimate model. I’m sure, as they bankrupt the nation states and impoverish the people, there will be less velvet and more iron fist, though.

    What Ilargi is saying, without being so blunt or conspiratorial, is that those “abstract” dollars are a tool of people who control the nation states… and those people will “get in your grill,” so to speak, to make sure their “abstract” societal asset and control stripping mechanism does EXACTLY what it was designed to do.

    Yes, oil plays a very KEY role in keeping external players in the Debt Dollar tyranny system.

    Again, ENFORCED by the people who use that abstraction for their own, personal gain.

    The thing most of the “to date winners” in this system fail to understand is that they are not winners at all… they are eventual targets to be taken out. Their wealth was a necessary by product of this system, not the purpose of this system. Once control is ceded to Big Finance Capital, well, they will still want more and there will only be one group in which to TAKE IT.

    If you don’t understand the strategy at play, you are doomed for sure.

    What I think steve tried to convey is that the government CAN print money and has done so in the past. If so, that is true.

    However, you are correct, the current system doesn’t allow for that right now. They can coin debt free money…

    But this is where Econ 101 comes into play. Whose interests does Bernanke represent? That is the KEY question because that will dictate the actions he will take.

    The straight to hyperinflationists seem to mostly think that Bernanke will defend the politicians within government.

    My research says Bernanke is ultimately employed by Big Finance Capital, which has perched itself atop the government and the major corporations, including major banking corporations, and Bernanke will defend their interests AT THE EXPENSE OF THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE.

    The monetary system is a con game and fraud and nobody in the “establishment” will call out the obvious – this is all fraud.

    This flow charts shows how it works…

    BTW, that’s Big Finance Capital (BFC) at the top sucking everyone else dry, which is why they created this system in the first place. The borrower is servant to the lender, so the government is servant to BFC. In theory, this could change, but I’m pretty confident that anyone in power who would try and create this change would be risking their lives now that the CIA and Pentagon listen in on everyone’s phone calls and email… they know who to target.

    steve did confuse me when he said only the government can create currency. Uh, every time a credit card is used, currency (debt based bank credit, which I think is reasonable to include in the definition of “currency”) is created. Every car loan creates currency, etc… Perhaps steve is referring to only physical FRNs or coins – I think that is government issue only… in conjunction with the Federal Reserve international banking cartel Trojan Horse.

    While it’s true that the FED only buys previously issued debt, that debt is normally sold to the private sector. While the FED engages in REPO’s and such to adjust the quantity of money, only in QE does the FED buy and hold that debt. That means they create new money. New money is not created when the primary dealers sell that debt into the private capital machine.

    If I understand correctly, they take $1 billion in “assets” in exchange for $1 billion in bank credit.

    I think we all know that the $1 billion face value of the assets isn’t real, maybe $300 million or less.

    However, this is still NOT printing money. That $1 billion issued as bank credit still has debt attached to it, it just isn’t collecting interest UNTIL the “assets” are recognized at their real value. Let’s say that’s $300 million.

    Once the international financiers decide it is time to end this charade, they will release that, totally unforeseen events have revealed that the banks can’t pay back the $1 billion and the assets are only worth $300 million… THEY WILL THEN CHARGE THE TAX PAYER THE DIFFERENCE, $700 MILLION, AND COLLECT INTEREST ON THE AMOUNT DUE.

    They just don’t charge interest while they pretend the “assets” offset the cash infusion. Oh, they will eventual bill their subjects, though.

    What you need to understand is that the debt money system that is OUR monetary system is a ponzi scheme. New money must always be created to pay the interest from previous debt and the only way to get new money, excluding QE, is for consumers to borrow.

    While this is practically so, it doesn’t have to be this way. The reason it is this way is because Big Finance Capital doesn’t return all the interest they accrue lending nations money, therefore, the nations don’t have enough money to pay back THEIR debts, but BFC is flush with cash.

    Of course, when they borrow, more debt is created setting up a cycle of ever more need for more debt to create money to pay the interest…. evermore. IF consumers can no longer borrow money, no new money gets created and we have a recession/depression. That’s the real cause of the so-called financial crisis, consumers maxed out of credit and could no longer borrow. That’s why the FED MUST create new money.

    They must continue to issue credit or else the whole thing collapses. In addition, if they keep issuing credit, the whole thing collapses, just at a later point in time.

    So, the game is to figure out what the Big Finance Capital will tell their Trojan Horse to do… print into oblivion and wipe out BFC’s trillions in debt assets, trillions in cash and bail out those they put into debt or…

    …steal as much cold, hard cash as they can then bust the system, bust the debtors, roll up the debtor assets into their front corporations so the sheeple don’t realize that one group benefits from much of this operation and then hyperinflate to balance the books. By then, it won’t matter whether the oligarchs have trillions in cash BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTROL MUCH OF THE PHYSICAL WORLD AND THE SERFS WILL BE MOSTLY IMPOVERISHED.

    This is the world that Nicole describes, but in a way that is much less, shall we say, “conspiratorial.” I have no doubt she knows this was all rigged, though. Someone pointed out she had made this comment in the way back machine: “the system is corruption.”

    The main point is that the people in POWER to PROVE efficacy REFUSE TO DO SO.

    This debate shouldn’t even exist – we should have hard numbers base don hard, unbiased science. We don’t.

    Did you know that vaccines safety is determined only short term and in relation to another vaccine?

    Did you know that effectiveness is determined by how well it creates anti-bodies, but there is no science that links these additional anti-bodies to actual disease resistance?

    Did you know they refuse to track how many people got the flu had a flu shot?

    ashvin post=2777 wrote:
    seem to be consistent with the fact that smallpox deaths drastically declined after vaccination campaigns were launched, albeit not in a linear manner.

    That’s entirely misleading because it lacks context. The question is not whether deaths declined during vaccination campaigns, the question is whether vaccines changed the natural rate at which deaths were already changing pre-vaccinations.

    If rates are dropping 20% pre vaccine and then “drastically” fall 15% after vaccine, it is simply dishonest to say that vaccines were responsible for that “drastic” 15% drop. You make no mention of context. Neither does “consensus,” so I can see where someone relying on that “consensus” “authority” might not make that connection on their own, the same way one relying on “consensus” would not think about fact checking the Federal Reserve’s legal mandate (BTW, I didn’t – Denninger had to bring it my attention, but the bell rang when he did!).

    I was disappointed I didn’t find longer time graphs for smallpox to be able to see how vaccination impacted its natural rate of change.

    I don’t like that you were “disappointed,” so please provide the data that you think is correct and hopefully this is on a longer time scale.

    However, we have much better data for other diseases that “consensus” claims (is “consensus” related to Simon? Anyway…) were significantly impacted by vaccines.

    https://www.healthsentinel.com/joomla/images/stories/graphs/us-deaths-1900-1965.jpg

    Note that when vaccines were introduced for diptheria, whooping cough and measles, there was no significant change in the rate of decline in the number of annual deaths from these diseases.

    Yet “consensus” argues “causation” and people parrot it as Gospel…

    You know, like the “dual mandate.”

    But we aren’t done yet.

    Look at typhoid, Scarlett fever and diptheria… all declining dramatically without vaccines.

    Now, I know you are a very smart guy and that these details aren’t hidden from you. I know you understand the implications, too – that the vaccine issue isn’t as clear cut as “consensus” would have the proles believe. BTW, I’m not saying vaccines can’t be effective – I don’t know and Big Finance Capital Pharma isn’t about to do definitive research when everyone accepts and repeats their well funded “consensus.” Kinda like the Fed’s ‘dual mandate” well funded consensus.

    I want the randomized, double blind placebo studies… Big Pharma does not.

    But, you won’t bring up these realities – I have to. Why?

    My deconstruction of the the social engineer control methods leads me to believe that they understand it is very difficult for people to admit they are wrong once they make a claim. Therefore, if they can get someone to make a claim based upon “authority” and not data and logic, that person will resist the data and logic and hold on to their opinion.

    That’s how the system works.

    I had a lively debate with a retired physician about the EPA scientists opposing water fluoridation (which is also consensus, unless one is an actual EPA scientists that has reviewed the research directly – but who needs data and logic from scientists… this is “science!”).

    https://www.nteu280.org/Issues/Fluoride/NTEU280-Fluoride.htm

    The EPA scientists cite the research they used to reach their conclusions – including the FACT that there has never been any solid scientific research (like a randomized, double blind placebo study to prove efficacy of ingesting fluoride – sound familiar… vaccines are treated the exact same way!) proving efficacy!

    Now, this retired assured me he had personally researched the issue and all was good – the EPA scientists were wrong. Well, after claiming the article came from some “kook” website… you know ad Hominem. NTEU is the EPA scientist union – it is from their own website.

    Since I’m only interested in the truth, I said, “Good, send me the data. I’d like to review it.” I really wanted to see it because, as a truth seeker, I LOVE being wrong. That means I’m closer to the TRUTH.

    I never received the data and I asked at least 6 different times via email – the requests when unanswered.

    When I have data, I share it. When I don’t, I admit it. What is this “game” all about proclaiming all this data and then hiding in a closet?

    Simple – he can’t admit he’s wrong, yet he can’t produce the data that shows his view is correct… so he tunes out.

    “Consensus” didn’t help him out one bit, either. “Authorities” lie all the time. It is naive beyond words and shows a complete lack of human history… which is typical in America. I was there once. For most of my life. No more.

    Also, in the first graph, smallpox deaths “dropped off of a cliff” while % vaccinations only declined by a small amount. One would expect the mortality rate to drop once levels of vaccinations reached a critical point within the population, and then for vaccinations to steadily decline in use. I’m not sure why Scarlet Fever is also included in the second graph?

    That graph lacks context. I want to know what happened before. without the data, one can’t reach a solid conclusion. Maybe, maybe not. But we do have lots of data for other diseases that “consensus” claims were knocked out by vaccines and the vaccines didn’t even make a dent in the incidence of the death rate decline.

    In addition, massive swings of deaths is not what is advertised with these vaccines – but it is a rationalization. Does the vaccine confer immunity from the disease or not?

    Your ruler is so flexible. Mine isn’t. You are exactly right – that doesn’t prove a thing other than you KNOW when to apply the Trivium, but you selectively chose to deploy it.

    You see, I admit the truth – I don’t hide. The cite of “[A]n American paper published in 1922 reported” is meaningless in trying to prove something. It needs to be verified.

    As I said before, it doesn’t mean it is true or false, it just means that the logic used to establish the truth of the matter is a lie – it is false logic.

    Not many people are willing to run against consensus. The social engineers and financial oligarchs know this, so they fund the “consensus” they want and off we go.

    Even smart people are duped… and they are so smart they can’t admit to being so thoroughly duped.

    BTW, the retired physician knew how to be extremely skeptical, too. But only of things not “consensus.” When it was “consensus,” no data or logic required – and he lied to keep up his own image of authority in place. How sad.

    Your logic appears to be, “that kind of lie is too big, so it couldn’t be true.”

    I’m telling you that is a fallacy that people as far back as Hitler knew how to exploit.

    All this was inspired by the principle–which is quite true within itself–that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.

    The main thing far as I am concerned (and I do NOT speak for any Diner except myself) is to understand motivations better and see the Big Picture. Being perfectly correct in any given theory isn’t as important as how it helps you to see the Big Picture.

    In the case of the matter at hand, whether intentional or not, the results of course are the same, and you can infer that moving into the Future, the current crop of Illuminati Scumbags learned lessons from this that they can utilize to even more profound effect in the future.

    This of course is the reason it is so important to bring in the Orkin Man. If we don’t Exterminate them FIRST, they will Exterminate US. Don’t bring a Knife to a Gunfight with the Illumati and show No Mercy, for no Mercy will be shown to you. Take NO Prisoners in this war, for this is the Final Battle for ALL the Marbles and nothing less than the Survival of Homo Sapiens as a species is at stake.

    Folks, RE is 100% serious here. The oligarchs don’t like you. They really don’t. They toxify your water with their industrial wastes and lie about it being really nutritious for you. They hope you will just believe the “authority” and never look at the actual research – or the research they AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

    The EPA scientists were duped UNTIL THEY LOOKED AT THE UNDERLYING DATA AND LOGIC, aka, applied the Trivium method, and then they came out against water fluoridation (hundreds of chemicals, actually).

    https://www.nteu280.org/Issues/Fluoride/NTEU280-Fluoride.htm

    They feed your children pesticide facsimile “food” that change the colors of mammal organs and sterilizes more than 50% of mice 3 generations out. Infant mortality sky rockets and the offspring are dramatically smaller in size.

    https://responsibletechnology.org/resources

    They pump your children full of heavy metals, human fetus tissue and all sorts of other nasties… without ever proving the vaccines are even effective at reducing disease and REFUSING to due randomized, double blind placebo studies and REFUSING to do long term health studies with non vaccinated children (like the Amish).

    They use their control over media to mock anyone who simply doesn’t trust the “authority” knowing that not 1 in 50 will ever look up the actual evidence, but 49 out of 50 will be cock sure they know the truth because some authority told them.

    That authority was convinced by another authority… all the way up the ladder until you reach the nastiest form psychopathic social engineer villain.

    they shoot children up with radiation. The shoot children up with syphilis. They pump pesticides into children. They test vaccines on children until the children die.

    They invade foreign nations so they can set up their drug growing operations (Afghanistan is #1 in heroin and marijuana production IN THE WORLD!). They buy up pivate prison systems. They lobby governments for draconian, profit maximizing prison sentences. They then import the drugs into the nation states by the thousands of tons and hope that their media effort to make drug use look “cool” and “counterculture” maximizes drug users and their for profit prison taken of the national wealth pie.

    The government arms the drug gangs with guns and grenade launchers while the mega banks launder the money. When caguht, nobody gets charged criminally. The only person fires was the whistle blower…

    Yeah…

    That’s how they roll.

    GE engineered Fukushima could release 85x the radioactive cesium on the west cost and… you can hear a pin drop in the MSM.

    Can’t make GE look bad, they monopolized industry now that they alone control carbon emissions and control, I mean advise, the White House.

    You bad people, you… GE good… radiation is now nutritious for the proles!

    In case you still don’t get it, right as they are ushering in the collapse of the world via a fraudulent monetary phenomenon (yes, resources play a role, too, but they aren’t the main driver yet… they will be, though) and Greek families are turning their small children over to the government…

    Children abandoned by Greek parents as cuts also sees country running out of medicine

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2085163/Children-dumped-streets-Greek-parents-afford-them.html

    the medical “ethicists” come out and claim that murdering children is is a “right” of the mother (and government), just like abortion.

    Killing babies no different from abortion, experts say

    Everyone spends all day analyzing how good the different chair arrangements look on the Debt Money Titanic.

    “We say in our platform that we believe that the right to coin money and issue money is a function of government. We believe it. We believe it is a part of sovereignty….

    Those who are opposed to this proposition tell us that the issue of paper money is a function of the bank and that the government ought to go out of the banking business. I stand with Jefferson rather than with them, and tell them, as he did, that the issue of money is a function of the government and that the banks should go out of the governing business.

    When we have restored the money of the Constitution, all other necessary reforms will be possible, and that until that is done there is no reform that can be accomplished.”

    ~William Jennings Bryan, Cross of Gold Speech in 1896

    I don’t care about the chairs that everyone else obsesses over, I care about stabilizing the ship – and only ending debt based money and kicking out the criminal architects from power will get us down the right path.

    Until then, we are Hansel and Gretel heading right into a trap, whether we chose left or right.

We can retroactively concoct all kinds of scenarios to explain human events, but this one flies in the face of what I believe about human nature. Note that the conspiracies you have pointed out here have all been exposed eventually because someone “talked”. And they were TRYING to keep them secret. I think this particular conspiracy about smallpox would not have been kept secret. Why bother? Native Indians couldn’t read, and there were no newspapers.

    Again, it’s possible. And worth considering and investigating. I think it’s valuable exploration. But there is just as good a reason to believe the opposite at this point: smallpox was an inadvertent victory for the conquering Europeans. I agree we’re capable of dastardly plans. But we’re also chaotic and unpredictable. There’s usually someone in the mix who has an alternate agenda and then talks.

    I’m glad people demand truth and look into the charades of the status quo. So Doomsday Diner serves a valuable purpose. But I see many conspiracy theories, and I don’t have to believe them all. Sometimes it seems like people want to believe the conspiracy because the truth of the matter is too difficult to bear–that we are fairly predictable, mean and short-sighted and each somehow complicit in the big mess we’re in.

    sb, I agree. I don’t see how it can be possible to prove RE’s hypothesis. There are so many easily provable (as long as people look!) conspiracy facts that I like to focus on them.

    I invariably regret getting into areas where I can’t reasonably support my conclusion as I’m almost always discussing these things with sceptical people.

    The bizarre thing is that these people know how to be skeptical, even extremely so, but they suspend this approach when it comes to “authority.” The social engineers understand this weakness is the average person and they leverage it to the hilt.

    When money *is* debt, you can’t inflate it away. the debt will *always* grow faster than the money creation, by definition.

    They could, however, redefine the money, though. But remember, what occurs depends on where one stands.

    In Argentina, their currency was hyperinflated from the perspective of someone in the Argentinian system. From outside the system (where the banksters dwell, BTW), though, it was actually a deflation. American dollars bought a LOT more in Argentina when the people of Argentina were bankrupted.

    “Collapse” is really a euphemism for a well marketed societal asset stripping operation by the criminal bankster class.

    sb, a “conspiracy theory” has to be judged based on the evidence at hand, not some paradigm that may or may not be true.

    For example, there is a near UNIVERSAL view that the Fed has a “dual mandate.” They DO NOT. They have a single mandate. I provide the law, I explain the law… and a fellow poster here at TAE responded by arguing essentially “lots of people say it is a dual mandate, therefore, it must be true.”

    Nooooooo. Of course, he couldn’t provide said mandate.

    This line of argument is a way to AVOID the evidence of a particular conspiracy theory. Human history is one big conspiracy of the rich and powerful lording it over everyone else – so the real question is, “what are the rich and powerful conspiring to to do to this generation of people?”

    Let’s analyze your thesis… people can’t keep secrets.

    How long was the Manhattan Project kept secret?

    How long was the Gulf of Tonkin Operations Northwoods false flag incident kept secret?

    How long did the Pentagon keep it secret that they invited Anwar al Awlaki to lunch with a Secretary of the Army just months after 911? I think it was 8 years.

    Your argument is these events didn’t exist because there would be no way to keep them secret – yet they did. For extended periods of time.

    But I’d go one further… who says a conspiracy needs to be “secret” as long as people are conditioned to ignore them?

    I have already mentioned the fraudulent “dual mandate” lie that everyone on the MSM TV repeats as though it were a fact.

    How about this one – the EPA scientists union has come out and opposed water fluoridation and their objections are PUBLIC!

    https://www.nteu280.org/Issues/Fluoride/NTEU280-Fluoride.htm

    Anyone can read it. Note that the scientists actually cite the research they used in order to reach their conclusions.

    Even though this is public, it is blacked out of the Big Finance Capital controlled media – that’s why they control the media.

    https://changingminds.org/disciplines/argument/fallacies/accident.htm

    It is not proper logic to assume a general rule to a specific case in which it does not apply. You have to look at the EVIDENCE.

    For example, the Federal Reserve System is a weapon being used by a tiny cabal of criminals to asset strip America. It has been doing so for about 100 years.

    In addition, the Fed has broken its singular mandate for about 25 years running – yet almost nobody knows. It is a secret.

    And when I prove it beyond all doubt, most people IGNORE it.

    There are different levels of conspiracy theory. RE’s theory here doesn’t have much supporting evidence presented.

    However, the criminal Fed is all evidence, all day – and there is no doubt they are a criminal outfit subverting America’s sovereignty as a nation.

    Can you accept that TRUTH? It isn’t hidden now – it is out in the open.

    Triv,

    I’m sure the irony isn’t lost on you that smallpox was killing millions of people across the world until vaccinations became more common. It’s ironic in light of the video you posted on this particular thread, that’s all.

    “There is no question but that perfect sanitation has almost obliterated this disease [small pox], and sooner or later will dispose of it entirely. Of course, when that time comes, in all probability the credit will be given to vaccination.”
    ~ John Tilden, M.D.

    “Even without mass vaccination, smallpox would have died out anyway. It just would have taken longer.”

    Dr. Tom Mack, of USC, reported at the CDC meeting June 20, 2002 -The verbatim transcript of the Meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) June 19 and 20, 2002 (and this from a Big Pharma shill – the kind that says organ discoloring and mammal sterilizing “food” doesn’t need to be human tested).

    Hi Ash, where is your data and logic that leads you to believe that the small pox vaccine was the primary factor in the reduction of small pox deaths? What about death sky rocketing as vaccinations were introduced (we’ll get to that data later)?

    Where is the randomized, double blind placebo study (the gold standard in scientific inquiry – it can’t be manipulated when done correctly) showing any vaccine is effective at protecting people from disease in question? Don’t limit it to small pox – pick any vaccine at all!

    Why do you think Big Pharma, one of the wealthiest industries the planet Earth has ever seen, avoids the gold standard of scientific inquiry like it was the plague?

    How do you know that Rockefeller’s vaccination empire didn’t fool the masses the same way his Federal Reserve empire has fooled the masses – even very smart PhD and people that can’t stand him on Zerohedge – regarding the dual mandate lie that was constructed so the Fed could break its mandate and set the stage for worldwide economic collapse?

    How many hours of research had you done before commenting? Did you even watch the video?

    BTW, because some authority or another says so isn’t valid – just like every authority says Bernanke has a dual mandate, ‘cept he doesn’t.

    It’s a fallacy – and everyone repeating a fallacy doesn’t make it true.

    Why did Scarlett Fever death rates drop off significantly without a vaccine?

    A bit off topic of small pox, but still related to the same general Big Pharma tactics…

    You did know, right?

    Do you know what SV40 is? Do you know how many deaths are estimated to have come from SV40? Do you know how humans got SV40? Do you know why very few know about SV40?

    Let’s close back up on small pox…

    https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/01/02/was-smallpox-vaccine-really-a-great-success.aspx

    “Between the 1st and 2nd epidemic, there was only a 7% increase in population with an increase of smallpox deaths by 40.8%. During the 2nd and 3rd epidemic a 9% increase of population with an increase of smallpox deaths of 123% with an ever-multiplying number of vaccinations! Deaths per year from cancer in England and Wales between 1857-72 also began to rapidly increase.

    Professor of the Athenian Faculty of Medicine, Leon Grigorski said “We are ourselves creating the diseases, and we are heading toward general cancerization and mental defectives through encephalitis, by the use of vaccines.” Upon limiting access to information the medical-industrial complex is able to maintain its authority mystique.

    Isolation is a well-known technique of brainwashing. Choices that challenge the position of the authority are limited and often times hidden. Because the intellect learns by comparison, when it is presented with only one point of view or other points of view are denigrated, it loses its capacity to discriminate and ultimately its capacity for fully rational thought.”

    There is irony, but I don’t think it is what you think it is.

    But Rockefeller is well pleased with the trust that you put in him and his Big Pharma and Media cartel (not saying the family is even the biggest player, but they have been incredibly influential).

    BTW, do you know who first started selling snake oil?

    They will NOT just walk away from the debt based monetary system. It is the Aladdin’s Lamp of fraudulent societal asset stripping – so people need to be educated on this point and they need to get active and educate other people.

    Schemes will be tried to reboot a new monetary system, but they are all unlikely to succeed until there is once againa relative surplus in the environment, and that will not likely be the case for quite some time to come. Unfortunately of course, as Uncle Joe Stalin used to say, “you can’t make an Omellette without breaking a few eggs”, and many eggs will be broken when this monetary system finally goes to the Great Beyond. One can only hope that whoever makes it through the Zero Point this time will be smart enough not to walk down the Money Road again. Its the only way Homo Sapiens will survive on this planet; the use of Money will oly lead to our own Extinction. It is the ROOT of All Evil.

    So now it is “[t]he use of money” that only leads to our own extinction.

    “The use of Money” definitely lubricates the expression of human greed in all its forms.

    That is why I’m convinced that only an educated populace that literally despises anything big is the only way to add friction to compensate for that lubricant.

    You will likely argue that this condition is impossible – and I really can’t say you are wrong.

    But correlation is not necessarily causation. Human evil is definitely correlated with money.

    I argue “the use of money” is the lubricant, not the root cause.

    Your belief system is contrary to this idea.

    I owe you an attempt to validate my view that the root cause of evil in the world is human selfishness, not the lubricant which facilitates the expression of human selfishness.

    I will do that – but it will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon.

    There isn’t enough money in “Main Street” to pay back Big Finance Capital because the monetary system has been weaponized by the inclusion of eternal usury and trillions in bailouts.

    The flow chart looks like this…

    Keep and Share is a PDF hosting site – there is nothing special about it. If you are worried about it, google it for problems.

    The criminal monetary system Architect class (George Carlin’s “The Owners”) rigged the monetary system to enshrine themselves as rentiers over the the entire nation via never ending usury. The money they suck out as interest is not available to main street unless they send it back to main street.

    If you want a verbal walk through of how this process actually works…

    The monetary system is a fraud. It is run by con artists in very nice suits bought with the money stolen from society. The media and government and education is funded by these con people.

    So is the medical system – no wonder cancer rates are sky rocketing and nobody talks about causes.

    “We say in our platform that we believe that the right to coin money and issue money is a function of government. We believe it. We believe it is a part of sovereignty….

    “Those who are opposed to this proposition tell us that the issue of paper money is a function of the bank and that the government ought to go out of the banking business. I stand with Jefferson rather than with them, and tell them, as he did, that the issue of money is a function of the government and that the banks should go out of the governing business.

    “When we have restored the money of the Constitution, all other necessary reforms will be possible, and that until that is done there is no reform that can be accomplished.”

    ~William Jennings Bryan in his Cross of Gold speech

    when you enshrine parasitic con men with the monetary wealth of the nation, it is literally INSANE to think good things will happen to their host nation.

    We have need Andrew Jackson’s foresight more than ever.

    “Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!”

    From the original minutes of the Philadelphia committee of citizens sent to meet with President Jackson (February 1834), according to Andrew Jackson and the Bank of the United States (1928) by Stan V. Henkels – online PDF

    Andrew Jackson was right. If we can’t admit the “Den of Vipers” and understand their societal control mechanisms, we have no chance of ever rooting them out. Of course they will bite us.

    Vipers bite. It is what they do.

Was that the real reason for the “tour”?This is a fine time to sell into the Canadian real estate market since that bubble has not yet imploded and would probably make paying the Aussie $750000.00 a whole lot easier. And apropos any conversation about “human nature” trumping all, I guess it does make sense to jump the North American sinking ship’ rats or no rats. After all, what is shared experience among a few thousand anxious fans? And where does the greater safety of Australia lie vis a vis the above post? Wasn’t that the scene of Mad Max? Just sayin as the Surly would say.

    I’d evaluate the risk of world wide turmoil and China will likely want to secure Australian assets… by force, if necessary.

    RE, OK, so you can’t establish it using data and logic. Fair enough.

    You didn’t ask me to establish my view, but you have accused me of not doing what I wasn’t asked and then you proclaim I can’t do what I was never asked to do.

    Sheeesh!

    I will lay out to try and prove it, but I’d like to test your axiom a bit further first.

    If money is evil and, say, gold is not (it’s an asset, not “money”), what evil can money (money) do that gold (can not do)?

    You could substitute anything for gold, like a lifetime supply of steak, a lifetime supply of food, a lifetime supply of transportation, whatever, but gold as an asset makes for a fairly straightforward comparison.

    IOW, if money is evil and the other items are not (as assets, not as money), then money MUST have a characteristic defined as evil that these other one’s do not.

    For example, a hit man can kill for $10k cash.

    He can also kill for $10k in transportation.

    He can also kill for a $10k vacation.

    People can fail to pay a $10k loan.

    People can fail to return a $10 car.

    So, what characteristic does money have that makes it evil that all these other resources, or assets, do not have?

    Don’t worry, I’ll set out to prove my view later today.
