Great article. You failed to mention the role of George Soros’ Open Society project in the social unrest. He made his billions based on an understanding of complexity theory. Through Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and the resulting observer effect, his Quantum Fund optimized its returns based on the unbalanced markets created by the imperfect and biased observer.

As long as we maintain bias (racial discrimination for example), the system is easily gamed against the weak hand by the strong hand. How hard is it to buy real estate on the good side of the tracks when you know buyers are fearful of crossing over to the bad side of the tracks? Then as a strong hand once the value is driven out of the ghetto, you simply move in with a redevelopment plan that is sufficiently large to reset the belief system with bulldozers and fresh landscaping. It’s nothing more than the investor monetizing the racial bias of people who would prefer to fear their neighbor while willingly transferring wealth to a hedge fund.

The question for the agent is simple: yes or no, truth or lie, alive or dead? We each answer the question, but rather than listening to the still, tiny voice inside, we listen to anything and everything else. That’s how the gamers game you everyday. Turning the tables on them is easy. Changing your beliefs?… not so easy.

In a classic example, we’re getting ready to witness this again in the wake of the MERS mortgage fraud settlement. The bar is being set extremely high for the liquidation of foreclosed and bank owned properties and special opportunities are being offered exclusively for large funds to roll up these properties. The Department of Housing and Urban Development requires a $1 billion minimum investment and hand-selected their own list of Managing and Marketing Contractors (mostly former executives and politicians) that will be allowed to hand this windfall of publicly insured (i.e. Fannie, Freddie, etc.) money over to their cronies. .
