What do 1929, 2000 and 2007 all have in common? Those were all years in which we saw a dramatic spike in margin debt. In all three instances, investors became highly leveraged in order to "take advantage" of a soaring stock market. But of course we all know what happened each time. The spike in [...]
Submitted by Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse blog, Eventually the money runs out.

The Feb. 19th update to “Two Masters” was written with the assumption that people are still free to decide which master they will serve. Taking a position for or against the position would resolve nothing, in the context of that writing. I contend here that, given the options, the question is why people choose to stay in debt slavery, and reject Biblical liberty. For the purposes of this writing, the choice3 of masters was decided when people chose their commercial identity. By voluntarily choosing U. S. citizenship, people have chosen to serve the debt slavery master, in perpetuity, cradle to grave. This is in stark contrast to the Biblical standard. A debtor would serve the lender for 6 years, and be freed from the debt, at the 7th year. In our culture, bankruptcy only frees the debtor to incur more debt. This system of unjust weights and measure deprive people of all liberty and property. It is all debt, from issuance into circulation, into and through the debt slavery of wages, legally defined as corpotrate profits, received as Federal employees. Like it or not, everything that U. S. citizens receive and possess, is taxable. Welcome to the Federal Debt Plantation.
Legality and Humanity part company when the demands of a dead thing, a corporation, are given priority over life. At the heart of the matter is the love of money and the lust for power.
These days, we have so many influences bringing out glaring contrasts between Bureaucracy and Humanity. The hot spot today is the Federal Budget debate. This is nothing new. We’ve been watching people threaten each other with poverty since forever. It is during these bouts of confusing numbers and inflammatory ultimatums that we are reminded that turning on floodlights in a crowded bar, at midnight, can expose a lot of surprises.
It is in the contrasts, brought out it all their naked glory, that we see the behavior that causes us to cringe at admitting that we are associated with any of this mockery of all things American. Yet, we need this. We need to understand that Bureaucracy is anti-human. It is cannibalistic. Even in it’s most commercial context, it is impossible to find any compassion or grace for the behavior of Bureaucracy. Something happens to people when they gain auspicious titles and put on a suit and tie. In reality, they are no less human. They just act as predatory animals.
There is one thing that we can be sure of. Those who gain by this unreasonable facsimile of a reality show called government will not be found in line when the inevitable next step down in the currency collapse is taken. None will admit complicity in the Ponzi scheme that is the Federal Reserve. There won’t be a deal good enough to persuade the world to buy U. S. Treasury debt. The situation will become institutional looting and piracy.
This is the point when the masks come off and the wolves devour the sheep. The turmoil and protest in other countries will be seen in the United States. Bureaucracy believes that it is a law unto itself. The human common sense response would be to admit that there is a higher court than any institution of Man. But then, Bureaucracy ate of the forbidden fruit and bought into the original lie, long ago. No, the men of renown have not become gods, and their pride is going before destruction.
People who wouldn’t buy a bridge sight unseen, accept the Federal Reserve note as the real thing. People must not know anything about the dual currency bait-and-switch. The scam works as well today as it has in every other bank panic, including the Great Depression. The Federal Reserve system is the real Bridge to Nowhere. It starts in debt, can’t prove what it is or show tangible collateral by independent audit, and can disappear into thin air, only to reappear under a different disguise. When it shows up with the Amero, people will seriously believe that it’s a new currency. The new kid on the block will turn out to be the same old whore. Yet, that corrupt system has the power to tell people what they are and what their obligations are. If people knew what they were supposed to be, where they really were, and what legal standing they don’t have now, they would get away from the Federal Reserve, as fast as they could go.
They would abandon the fake government, fake citizenship and fake money. The fake voting and fake representation would become things of the past. A government that no one voted for wouldn’t last long. A government that has no one but it’s welfare program constituents left to tax wouldn’t even last that long. The problem is that the corporation in Washington, D. C. has a thing for conquest. Reconstruction doesn’t seem to be working as well in Iraq as it did in the Confederate States. When Iraq refused to recognize the Federal Reserve note as the reserve currency, their currency got painted with red spray paint and a new carpetbagger government installed. Reconstruction rides, again.
It took 2 world wars for Corporatism to conquer the United States, Europe and Asia. A series of debt wars are bringing Africa and Latin America into the fold. The evidence is in the division of the world according to financial standing, not National borders. There are no sovereign nations. Their creditors own them. Finding the right candidate for office in the Homeland Security internment camp won’t correct this problem. When people agree to be less than they really are, they give up more than they could afford to lose. Understanding the difference between Americanism and Corporatism is prerequisite to staying out of the Federal Reserve “who’s on first” loop conversation. When the Fed tells it, it isn’t funny, anymore.
The people running the scam know the difference between real money and paper. They knew it in 1929, and worked the bait-and-switch to perfection. we are now seeing a growing reluctance to part with gold and silver, for paper. Believe it or forget it, there is no good reason to give up real money for paper. Granted, people still insist on paper in consumer transactions. Get the paper some other way. Give them strings of beads from Mardi Gras, if you have to. Keep your gold and silver. Don’t get caught in the bait-and-switch.
Why is this important? It is important because 200 years of fast-talking con artists have taken America back to square one, for at least the seventh time. This time, the panic could be the killer. Prior to this economic collapse, there was gold and silver coin in general circulation. The next time that Federal Reserve debt is offered as legal tender, could be the last. If the Fed calls that paper nothing right now, everyone is flat broke, immediately. There would be nothing in the banks, to get.
Who has the better financial statement? Is it the one with room left under the limits on his credit cards, or the one who bought some of that fine bottom land in the Everglades? Ben Bernanke and his buddies in a well-lighted conference room is a far more dangerous situation than the ‘gators and cottonmouths, in the dark.
Every government trip to China should produce the right blend of snickers and incredulity. On the one hand, we have corporate suits-and-ties making a show of giving China a lecture on trade imbalances and subsidized trade wars. On the other hand, China is sitting on 200 Trillion in U. S. Treasury debt. Since last October, they’ve been dumping it. Nobody wants U. S. debt. This would be a comedy act, if it weren’t so serious.
Sen. Charles Schumer found out what the deal was. He came back from China much quieter than he went. I am always reminded of his example when any president talks about negotiating anything with China. They all talk big until they hear, “You go home now, Yankee dog.”
The biggest problem that concerns me now, is that this president is more inclined to give away the store, than Americans are. Of course, United States citizens sold their souls to the company store. They have nothing to say about it. They abandoned their Nationality in favor of shareholder status in a corporation.
It is fitting that a series of programs aired on the History Channel in the order they appeared. First, there was a 2 hour documentary on the history of currency and it’s dark side, counterfeiting. This was followed by an hour on silver mines. Then, there was an hour on gold mines. That was the perfect background for this series. The statement that, in 1972, Richard Nixon freed the world from the tyranny of gold, is the perfect example of the arrogance and hypocrisy of human nature. History, filled with the evidence of dead civilisations, tells us that all wealth comes from the ground and was created with the foundation of the world. Every attempt to evade the Creator has the seed of it’s own destruction in it. Will the world acknowledge the lesson of history or collapse in failure again?
You would think that after almost 6,000 years, the world would know right from wrong. Certainly, someone should have acquired the wisdom to avoid repeating the same bad choices. About 3 decades ago, the proposal was made to index the price of oil to the prices of manufactured goods. The concept was not a new idea. Parity pricing has always been a stable and beneficial foundation for any economic structure. Even so, that proposal was rejected. Why any responsible and rational mind would reject such a proposal is unthinkable. Under a parity system, every aspect of economic activity improves. Producers of raw materials, manufacturers of finished goods and end users of those goods all prosper in an honest environment of equitable compensation. The only criticism that parity economics has ever faced is that it hinders the opportunity for the issuers of currencies to lie, cheat and steal.
Inflation. Not one person in one hundred knows what it is or how it works. People debate it’s workings, but never ask the questions that would open their understanding. No one ever asks who gains from inflation and who is cheated. For all of the fingers pointed and claims made, the same people win, every time. The operative component of inflation is arbtrary and worthless paper currencies. With no collateral to rest on, the door is opened to deception and manipulation. Promises are made, nations are buried in debt, and assets are sold off to keep an economy “solvent”. That solvency is also fabricated and contrived, subject to revocation. Witness the economic collapses in Mexico and Argentina. Both are slave nations, property of the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund. Seeing themes and plots from movies in the news, presented as real life, got old a long time ago. People are told that Economics is a science too complicated to be understood by ordinary people. The stunning lies that are fed to people set them up to be harvested in a very well established system of wealth transfer. From “The Longest Yard”, we have “If it worked once, it should work again, right?”. In 1929, Winston Churchill hosted a party on the night of the stock market crash. Those people cheated the people who worked the land and produced wealth out of their life savings and their homes. In 2000, 7 Trillion dollars went somewhere. Wealth doesn’t just disappear. It goes into someone’s pocket. We must ask ourselves; Is being first in the breadline at the soup kitchen a good thing?
How does this deliberate cycle of enticement, deception and theft translate to today? We have people who watched their savings leak out of their retirement plans. In self defense, they followed the advice they were given, investing in “emerging markets”. There were no markets. They invested in emerging manufacturing bases. Now they wonder what happened to their jobs. We have people who owe more on their homes than they can sell them for. But, refinancing and adjustable rates were good things, weren’t they? Obviously, the truth, the whole truth and consult your financial advisor before being swindled didn’t come into play, here. This is exactly how the harvesting process has always worked. When will people understand that the world is structured to take everything they have and leave them for dead?Now would be a good time to take stock of the present situation. People believe that the circumstances are good if they can buy things and go places. This is madness. The admissions that are made every day clearly refute the public perception. For months and months, we were told that there wasn’t any serious inflation to be concerned about. Now, we are told that inflationary pressures are expected to moderate by the end of the year. I’m sorry. I missed a transition in there, somewhere. Of course, I’ve been hearing for at least a year, that if diesel fuel prices hit $6/Gal., truckers are going to park their trucks and walk away from the loans. The ones that are worried about making their truck payments have nothing to worry about. The banks have a vested interest in keeping their trucks rolling. We haven’t seen anything yet. With commodities shortages and hyperinflation at the doorstep, the world is learning that paper is not gold and silver.
The events of the past week bring home the point of this series. Like it or not, we are in the same world with the destruction that has been inflicted on the world with debt and promises. The worst thing that ever happened to Africa and South America is the International Monetary Fund. After 50 plus years of loan guarantees and refinancing of debt, countries have been destroyed in both name and culture. The developed world faces the same fate. Entire continents are becoming land absorbed into the corporate structure, containing homeless people in holding pens. After people have traded their land and wealth for worthless paper, they are at the mercy of the harvesters. Revolving, escalating debt establishes slavery everywhere it takes root. Once established, people are removed from the land and commercial entities enter in under the authority of inequitable agreements entered into under coercion. Once debt is incurred, armed conflict inevitably follows. Any resistance by the indigenous population is met with military force. Once people are removed from land, resources are removed, leaving that country more impoverished than it was before. Without sovereign control of commerce, any nation is the property of a corporation. Cities become holding pens, people become livestock, and the slaughter begins. Remember Thomas Jefferson’s quote: “If private banks are allowed to control the issuance of currency, they and the corporations that shall spring up around them, shall deprive the people of all liberty and property. They shall find themselves homeless in the land that their fathers settled.”.
People come. People go. Done properly, there is no conflict or confusion. As congestion and dependency increase, people and their connections to the land are severed. Where the emphasis once was on self-sufficiency, there now exists a corporate inflicted vulnerability. As people and life were separated from the land, so they were separated from individual conscience. Individuals used corporate charters in a vain effort to shield themselves from the consequences of their actions. The evidence of history is that judgement comes and reality is served. Behavior that works stands the test of time. History is not kind to those glaring examples of failures that litter the wayside of time.
It is one thing when one individual declines to interact with another. It is quite another when two individuals are prohibited from interacting by a third. The issue of authority is instantly raised. In actual fact, multiple authorities are instantly in play. The transition between the two states is the most fascinating study in human nature. It is at the root of every conflict. In the whirlwind of current events, the difference might seem insignificant. There are so many authorities, legitimate as well as false, competing for attention. Without fixed standards of judgement, it is impossible to avoid deception and destruction. There is no substitute for being in the right place, at the right time, and taking the right action. How were Pts. 9 & 10 so important and related? They are critical factors in food production. From the corporate view, very often, indigenous populations are just in the way. Shutting down food production in a country is just one way to clear the land. The only result coming from international activities in developing nations in the last 50 years has been war, famine, disease and crushing ebt. When international forces enter an area, it is for the purpose of securing the harvest of resources. Food production is just one of the means that sustains a population on the land. At one time, Rhodesia was known as the breadbasket of Africa. By contrast, Zimbabwe is an unproductive beggar nation, dependent on handouts and cheated out of it’s resources.
All that has changed in 3 years is that the Federal Reserve Note is no longer the reserve currency of the world. The fraud is exposed and the emperor has no clothes. The news erroneously refers to the U. S. Dollar in articles. United States Dollars are United States Treasury Dept. issued gold and silver coinage of specified weight and purity of content. Federal Reserve Notes are borrowed into circulation, tracing their surety to another debt instrument, the U. S. treasury Bond. The world economy is teaching us the difference between United States Dollars and Federal Reserve Notes. The following describes and comments on that difference.
In reconstruction, as in all “reformation” movements, the result is always a political step, sideways. Historians can argue the details, but the judgment is always in the eye of the next power structure. More problems are created, than solved. Under pretense of public service, intrusion and coercion are fine tuned, as new crimes must be swept under the rug before private, predatory motives are exposed. The reports of coercion within the financial industry are only the tip of the iceberg. Reconstruction is never satisfied as long as there is any wealth that hasn’t been captured. Reconstruction resets it’s immediate plan to cover it’s failures and pursue it’s ultimate goal, conquest. The evidence of a much bigger goal comes out of the G8 meeting. The division between monetary views is so wide that the push to maintain debt expansion belies a goal beyond recovery.
Banking and money-changing present so many important educational lessons. The most important lessons are derived from humanity’s compulsion to disconnect contradictory information and believe mutually exclusive details to both be true at the same time. Shaping public opinion and promoting social movements for commercial gain form the common thread through all empires. Empires functioning on fiat currency systems are total loss systems. The promise of available liquidity can not be separated from the obligation of debt. If the empires of history failed in self-destructive tyranny, what can the Federal Reserve look forward to? The answer is surprising because people never see past the superficial. The Federal Reserve is not built on bedrock and it’s charter is not carved in stone.
The point that is missed in discussions about the history of private banks is that none of them were intended to be permanent fixtures, but components in a larger power structure. Notwithstanding that private banks war against each other for purposes of conquest and domination, they also cooperate in programs of exploitation and predation. Pooling their resources is sometimes necessary to their mutual goals. By the account of their formation, growth and eventual ends, they are merely steppingstones to a larger central structure. In that context, the Federal Reserve is an errand boy for the ultimate goal of world domination. The corporate infighting that we see in the news is the continuation of a process that preceded the Federal Reserve, and will continue beyond it. The obvious objective is first, consolidation of national currencies into regional ones, then into a single, global currency. Forming commercial trading blocs and conformity of regulation are only plausible excuses, requiring political and marketing manipulation to keep them viable. Public embarrassment seems to be a small price to pay for persuading the public to buy what the banks are selling.
The larger, long-term goals of global corporate and monetary consolidation make future events obvious. The Federal Reserve would continue to exist, in name, only. Despite the news reports of expanded oversight powers for the private bank, it will become an overgrown accounting business with little or no policy making powers. The private bank will become a branch office of the global central banking authority. It would become the banking equivalent of General Motors and Chrysler are to manufacturing. The progression of exclusion of populations from participation in economic benefit is accelerating. It should be crystal clear to most people that what was once theirs, is now the bank’s property. Whatever any nation was before the economic collapse, that level of autonomy and prosperity is gone and no longer attainable. With a continuous program of currency manipulation, the nations of the world are now caught in political realities that continue their demise. Jettisoning the production engines won’t lighten the load enough to keep the economy flying for very long. Corporate participation in the “recovery” is more efficient in eliminating people than in establishing stability. That’s how it worked in Hitler’s Germany and that’s how it works, today. The word “growth” in this society has multiple meanings, depending on the audience and the direction of the political winds. Everyone is promised whatever they want. Most are delivered the bill for the debt. the financial headlines run from cover story to cover-up, trying to avoid being caught in the light of day.
At this point, we have to ask, where did all of the bailout and stimulus money go? The fact is that it all remained in the control of banking and government. The pea is in Ben Bernanke’s right side jacket pocket, unless he left it with the Treasury for safekeeping. Perhaps they should “audit” each other, to keep their stories straight. There could be headlines and embarrassment. Only by containment could the numbers be manipulated in the fantasy world of creative accounting. Even then, the projections of declining revenue and increasing deficits are the marks of a Ponzi scheme in trouble. The central point of criticism is repeatedly confirmed. Economic policy fails because there is no substance in it. Marketing strategies constantly seek new catchphrases, buzzwords and personalities to sell success out of failure, but the end result never changes. Dependency structures expand and multiply. Regulatory bodies implement central bank policy while performing the stern charade of feeding the public the assurances that it wants to hear. If the public didn’t know that the future doesn’t include them a year ago, it will be a painful fact of life, a year from now.
While all of the creative bookkeeping supplies the media with story lines, a real crisis will bind the hands of the manipulators. The containment of inflation is a flight of ivory tower fancy. A fiat fabrication has no room for reality. The cascade failure of the debt bubble is coming. It is only a question of when the present role of the Federal Reserve becomes obsolete. When it does, the people who have been swindled will want Congress to do something to save the Fed. If that isn’t masochism, there must be no such thing. It’s as strange a concept as any self-mutilation in the physical abuse category. The regional economic structure being built now, will be much more destructive and abusive. When the front page of the newspaper screams in bold print, “WHAT JOBS?”, then you’ll know just how rapacious private banks are. Local priorities will give way to international edicts, imposed by people that you thought represented you. When the same bait-and-switch that ended representative government is completed in banking, the fraud will be complete. Priorities inflicted from outside a community are always more damaging than actual internal sentiment. The decision is clearly a one-time offer. Do people assert themselves in defending what is theirs, or do they concede defeat and accept conquest? We are on the clock, and it’s ticking.
