Why The Banksters Fear Basic Income!!!
If you are on Steemit, the odds that you are unaware that you were lied to are slim. Most on here know that the mainstream media does not tell the truth. We see the link between the banksters, corporations, the educational system, religions and government. It is all one big happy family meant to play their part in enslaving humanity.
What many are not aware of is how our belief system is established by others through conditioning in such a way as to make us good little slaves. We see this in many of the sayings people tout as being virtuous.
Have you ever questioned your beliefs?
To go one step further, did you ever ask yourself how is my belief about work ethic enslaving me?
Many believe in the "Protestant work ethic" which basically says pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. We are taught to get up in the morning, put in a hard day at work, that is what makes a man a man.
On the surface it seems reasonable but with the banksters, nothing is as it appears.
Joe Biden is certainly one who spent his career doing the bidding for the banksters. Like all government cronies, he was there to further the bankster agenda. He did this for decades.
Look at this statement made by him yesterday....
"Every time someone would lose a job, my dad would say, ‘You know, Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about dignity, it’s about respect.' It’s about your place in the community. It’s about being able to look your kid in the eye and saying, ‘Honey, it’s going to be OK.’ That’s what it’s about. Dignity," Biden said. "Getting an annual wage, you sit home and do nothing. You strip people of their dignity."
What do you garner when you read this? Do you see slavery?
Let us analyze it. To start, when people get an annual wage, they do NOT sit home and do nothing. That idea has been negated in every study done over the past 30 years. In fact, you only need to look at those who live off investment income...do they do nothing all day? Most do not. Having this mindset is akin to believing blacks should ride in the back of the bus. It is an outdated idea that is full of hate and degradation.
It is a very elitist view to look at poor people as stupid and lazy. This is also a bullshit idea. Not all unemployed people are lazy and stupid just like not all employed people are smart and motivated (Just ask @preparedwombat about those he works with😁 ). In addition, there are many people in the world who have absolutely no choice in the manner. There is a thing called generational poverty. In many areas, people are screwed simply because of where they are born. If you disagree with this, look at some of the comments posted by @cryptoeagle about the conditions in Cuba. Do you really believe the Cubans are in the situation they are because they are laze and stupid?
Getting back to Biden's comment, we see another piece of absolute insanity. He says "it is about dignity." Having a job provides dignity? I know this is a common mindset as evidenced by the way we treat the unemployed. It is another view that is complete trash.
I guess Joe is basically saying that without a job, one cannot have dignity, that one is not worthy of respect. Is this something you agree with?
We need to break this correlation that we are our jobs and that is where we derive worth from. Are you starting to see what they are doing to us? Show up for work each day because it is noble. You should feel a great deal of dignity working that dead end job for minimal wages which enriching the establishment. If someone says anything counter to this ideal, call them lazy and stupid. Make then feel like crap because they are not worthy of dignity since they do not have a job that feeds the system.
"Come on dude, get off your ass and go work the fry line somewhere...then you can feel good about yourself."
Or even better, "go to college, amass a great deal of debt that you cannot get out of, then go work a dead end job for low wages since you cannot find anything in your field." Then you can have dignity AND massive debt.
It is crucial that we stop associating our self-worth (or dignity as Biden calls it) with our jobs. There is nothing noble in working oneself to the bone for fake fiat to buy stuff meant to impress a bunch of people who we probably don't like just to feel better about ourselves. By the way, do you see who benefits from that insane behavior? The banksters who own the corporations.
Simply put, all have worth simply because they are breathing. That is it.
So where does basic income enter into the picture and why do the banksters hate it?
The answer to this is in the word "no". A basic income enables people to say no to what I just wrote. Under their system, people have to take that dead end, life sucking job because bills are due next month. One is not free to pursue whatever his or her passion is (so much for the sitting around with no dignity Joe, people actually do things they like to do). The establishment does not want people pursuing creative endeavors, at least not ones they do not profit from. This is why artists, writers, and musicians are traditionally ostracized. Unless one can make money for the establishment, it is time to get back in line. "Stop creating that stuff nobody wants and get a job."
A basic income also upsets the entire bankster apple card. If people have money to cover their basic needs AND the ability to say no to those crap jobs, then those companies would have to pay more to fill those positions. That is a problem because it would affect the bottom line which Wall Street does not like. Besides, paying people more money means less control over them. Therefore, it is something they are going to fight at every turn.
Everyday hundreds of millions of people around the world show up to jobs they hate while being conned into thinking what they are doing is "dignified". Sure, there are some people who absolutely love what they do and are excited to get up each morning. To those people, I say you are in the extreme minority. Studies indicate that anywhere from 75%-90% of the American workforce dislikes their jobs.
Of course, they all are making a lot of money for the banksters which is the goal.
It is crucial that we look at the psychological tactics that are used on us. If you step back, you will realize there is institutional programming taking place. Most every entity we interact with is in on it. It is a web used to ensure we remain in the reality they created for us.
Somewhere along the line we acquired the idea that it was a good thing to work long hours in lieu of spending time with our families. We believe that working ourselves to death (literally) was noble simply to be a part of the perpetual growth machine. Earning more money so that we can drive a nicer car is a good thing although it sits unused 22 hours a day the same as an old Datsun.
Giving up your time, healthy, money, and family is a sacrifice but, hey, at least you have some dignity.
That is until they let you go in the next round of company layoffs.
Then you get to go through the dignified process, at least in the U.S, of filing for unemployment.
Thanks Joe.

He is kidding right? After reading the whole article I still have this qoute stuck to my head. How on earth is requiring me to go to a place and do something whether I like it or not to earn a living will give me dignity? That is so opposite to the reality.
You hit the nail on the head and it is driving me insane every single day. What bothers me is that I know I need to work to earn a salary and support my family financially. But I wish to have my time spent with my children before then turn into adults and run off. Yet it is not going to happen because the bills have to be paid. Job = Dignity. What a joke with the government.
Good post. I like it very much. Thanks for sharing.

Hmnnn.... interesting article. Interesting theory. I'd like to see the theory tested in a live population. But that probably won't happen. Or has it already? Having worked with what we might call "the lower classes" for a few decades I can assure you that most of these folks who make a career out of milking the government system for money have no intention or desire to develop skills and talents or a spiritual life. However, I think the day of a basic wage or annual income will be here soon simply because so many people will be displaced by bots.
As far as the "dignity" issue, I think there is another root to investigate, namely since humanities earliest days when we were living in small clans, larger extended family groups, villages, etc., it was essential that all community members worked, had a niche, had a means to provide for oneself and by so doing advanced the strength and survivability of the group. Your value to the clan or community depended upon the nature of the service, work, or trade you brought to the community. People who offered nothing, who did not work, who did not contribute had very little value and very little sense of self respect or pride and were often given the boot, so to speak. Throughout the ages if one did not work one died. Simple as that. And this was standard issue long before banksters showed up. If a man was a blacksmith, for instance, one Did have a sense of pride and value, and if fortunate was able to hand that down to a son.
There is a greater issue here, one that might actually be aided by a universal income, namely the endemic need for humans to have a sense of purpose and meaning. Perhaps, as you suggest, people will have, and take the opportunity to develop interests and talents and spiritual practice. I know I would. But like I mentioned above, many have no desire for any self-improvement. The motivation (survival) frankly is gone.
But lets run a little test. What would happen if everyone now on Steemit were to receive a basic income sufficient enough so that they could live off of it in "real life". I'm betting that the entire system would collapse in a matter of days. Can you imagine a newbie or minnow continuing to work for pennies? One good thing would occur though: spam would disappear.
Anyway, appreciate your post. This is an issue we must face and discuss sooner than later. You're open to consider other opinions in the search for the best path possible, aren't you?
Do you think it would collapse? You are probably correct with the present marketing of people espousing the idea of posting and earning $100 a day (a post I just read). However, if we truly did drive home the idea of decentalization, would the same thing result. Plus, if those who are on here part time suddenly didnt have to toil all day long just to make the rent, would they spend more time? Naturally we cant answer this but I can saw, for me, I would be on here more if that were the case...and I have read some who claimed the same thing.
Basic income isnt making people rich. It is about providing choices. Are there with a sense of entitlement who milk the system among the poor? Of course. Yet I can make the case that there are rich who have that same sense of entitlement...they just take bigger numbers from the government.
Basic income, to me, isnt so much about the money as the choice of how to use one's time....that is something that is decided for most. Monday morning, 9 AM guess where they are?
Human nature!! There will always be the slug baits out there who don't want to do anything no matter what. But I do love the idea that you shared: "It is about providing choices". Indeed , I dearly wish I had a basic income so I could grow my presence here. In fact, I've had a few months off due to illness, but have to go back to work in just a few days. Out of money. But human nature what it is, I do think that if an income sufficient to live off of were offered to the public that the next day there would be massive chaos
for most people would not be going back to work and that includes Steemit. For me a stipend would be very welcome. Anyway, I am delighted to see you are willing to discuss things and seek to know and understand rather than just being locked into a position no matter what.
The author in this post explains how "banksters fear or hate basic income", and while some individuals may, i would argue that basic income would benefit banksters the most.
The people in power or banksters in this case, fear instability more than anything else.
Having a growing population without jobs, who have less and less money to cover their basic needs, and even less on consumption of products and services they don't really need is more of a threat to their power than anything.
Airdropping basic income money on people, that the banksters print at will, could keep the sheep population happy enough so they wont revolt against the money religion most of people still believe in.
USD, STEEM or Manna Coins is no different in that regard.
Yes, UBI = control = slavery!!!
The love triangle between doctors, pharmaceuticals, and insurance is especially egregious. People live and die by the greed of others.
Very very true @edicted. You can add in the government to that trio also since the FDA is heavily involved and in bed with many of the entities you mentioned.
Same with the USDA...
Great Post. I am a huge fan of working very hard, but OBVIOUSLY the end goal is to succeed enough to make more, work less, do more.
Time is Money and everyone's time is constantly running out
"Time is money" is something a capitalist would say, is maybe what he believes and want you to believe that too.
Time is nothing else than life, and if you value life as money than that is your problem.
Quite interesting to read this perspective. Personally I think we really need to test basic income big time, to see what impact it will have. However in Holland I basically here 1 thing why a basic income is impossible. Because it's too expensive for our government to pay.
Government based basic income creates another problem...dependence upon the government which is bad. That is not necessarily the answer either although, when medical, incarceration (the entire police/court system), and social programs are all tallied, odds are many countries are already paying for the basic income, just in different ways.
Indeed government already pays quite a lot. And for people without a job and back savings, they also provide a minimum wage (don't know the precise English word for that). And that's the big difference with a basic income, cause there everyone would receive such a standard wage from the government. And at the same time we could skip all kind of policies where poor people receive some money for this and for that.
There was this guy named Kevin Mugur Galalae who used to talk about the depopulation agenda and how the banking system is supposed to help curtail the Malthusian dilemma. He said that the UN's main purpose was mainly about the covert chemical depopulation agenda because war was being taken away as a tool that the elites can use to cull the population (due to the threat of nuclear annihilation).
Basic income puts a monkey wrench into that agenda according to some. However Bill Gates points out that developed nations actually have lower population growth which contradicts this.
Kevin has since abandoned this cause and went to India.
I read some about the depopulation movement and am not sure where I stand on it.
I can see the idea of eliminating about 5B people to get to the number down to 2B...this will give them their slave force while having the resources to support it all. However, if that is the case, why didnt they do it. War is one means, plague and starvation another....yet we still have a growing population.
With the money the banksters have, I am sure finding a way to wipe out billions quickly is not beyond them.
Perhaps they need many of these slaves until automation takes over. There is a certain thought that they will start wiping the masses out then since they outlive their use.
Nobody is really in control. Some people have openly spoken about depopulation at the UN. Jay Rockefeller comes to mind. There was also this lady who was an important figure at the UN (Can't remember her name) who said that we need to do everything possible to reduce population so that the rest of humanity can survive.
Working for a living amounts to justifying one's existence to the elite. It's not necessary.
I don't blame Kevin heading off to India 😊
@taskmaster4450 Excellent post. Reminds me of The Matrix.
"Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind."
Cheers!
I found this article very interesting, I broke the mold years ago thankfully, and live off grid and very much into alternative living.
I can see a huge raise in people's consciousness in the near future when a basic income is at their fingertips, i think they wil be creative and happy too 😊
