Will Crypto Currencies Help Fuel the Next Big War?

in #cryptocurrencies7 years ago (edited)

The majority of all wars are economically induced.

People may not like to hear this startling fact but it is true.  

Forget the Islamists as the ideological threat and learn to accept titles as covers—covers to fool the masses behind reality.  

War is a necessary evil whether anyone likes it or not. In fact, the Council of Foreign Relations once wrote a book titled “Beyond the North South Stalemate: The 1980’s Project.” It was a book about world economies, natural resources, and population growth.  

Some estimates showcase that if World War II happened every ten years, our world population growth would still continue to rise even with the tens of/hundreds of thousands of deaths resulting from war.  

Think about it like this:
UNICEF estimates 353,000 births daily around the globe. There are 365 days in a year. This equates to approximately 128,845,000 new lives born annually. Counter that, and estimates show approximately 55 million people die annually.

WWII witnessed approximately 60 million deaths. The European aspect of WWII lasted 6 years while the Chinese/Japanese aspect lasted 15 hence it’s tough to truly identify the purest duration of WWII. But, take the smallest number being 6 and divide that by 60 million and we are talking about 10 million lives lost annually during the conflict and much less if we took the 15 year number into account. Get the picture? 

Point being, with 55 million dying annually and 129 million born annually, even with the losses in times of World War, population growth continues to flourish.

So, what happens to natural resource depletion if the world continues to grow in population?  

Technically, it’s fair to say we could breed ourselves into extinction considering the lack of balance in resource depletion vs human population growth—technically. 

Let’s look at a major commodity for just one moment.  

Oil is often identified as the key global commodity and most individuals falsely assume the Middle East holds the keys to the kingdom when it comes to oil. 

Fact is, oil is not as essential to the United States as many are led to believe.  (https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/2013-10-15/myth-us-energy-dependence

But, for the majority of Middle Eastern nations, it is their key economic resource.  

What happens though when potable water is no longer accessible to say Middle Easter nations? 

Sorry, in many regions of the Middle East, potable water doesn’t exist. 

Yes, water wars will eventually replace oil wars.  

We can say it’s all economic in nature but at the same time we understand that in terms of economics, natural resources and the depletion of such must be included in the conversation considering the vast majority of economic venture stems from natural resource extraction, refinement, and consumption. (Of note, this has nothing to do with the controversial climate change debate) 

The United States and Russia have all the natural resources they need, but to tap those natural resources prematurely, with full scale extraction and production, just cannot happen when one looks at the continued strategic game of prolonging superpower status.  

It’s ok to pay for something you don’t really need. In fact, sometimes it’s actually a great strategy—stockpile what other have in an attempt to one day deplete their resources so they become dependent on yours.  Or in the case of commodities, some may do a bit of price gouging.

If you are still following then let’s bring in another aspect of this world control strategy—controlling economies.  

Big boys play big boy rules.  

Do not veer off thinking you can get enough status to do your own thing. Someone, somewhere, will always be capable in taking you out—ask Manuel Noriega or Muammar Gaddafi or even Hitler for that matter. 

Wait, why bring up Hitler?  

Believe it or not, some could say Hitler was just a US pawn. 

Prior to WWII, the US actually assisted Adolph in rebuilding his war machine. The Dulles brothers were key in this financial plan knowing what the outcome would eventually be.  

Two attorneys working for the private sector who later helped establish the OSS with mad connections to major corporations and banking institutions, ie the Dulles brothers, yes, helped create World War II.  (Suggest reading my book The Syria Report to fully grasp this.)  

But that was then so what about now? 

Clandestine operations and covert actions need money. 

Specifically, they need black money meaning, money that is completely clean and far removed from any government institution. 

Individuals are trained to create black money used specifically for coups, revolutions, and yes, all-out war—and, that is not necessarily a bad thing (remember population growth vs natural resource depletion). 

With the creation of crypto-currencies and the interest of banking institutions like JP Morgan Chase and the Royal Bank of Scotland, two known banking institutions behind several covert and clandestine operations around the globe, now playing as permissioned ledgers to Ethereum, the foundation is set. 

In fact, just recently those who have been paying attention to crypto-currencies and national security learned even Vladimir Putin himself has taken up great interest in crypto-currencies—I wonder why? 

Some will assume the idea of crypto currencies assisting in global warfare to be a bad thing. Others will see things differently. I am not one to judge.  

Of concern, while government institutions and the banking sector may fear crypto-currencies have the potential to facilitate terrorist activity, maybe we the people should be more concerned on who has the truest means to facilitate that specific activity—terrorist themselves or the elites who often create wars in the first place? 

If everything noted comes to fruition, crypto-currencies have the potential to destroy lives, or help place balance on populations vs natural resources depending on how you view things, all the while putting billions in people’s pockets—especially early investors.

Excellent article and I agree on all points. Just to add if cryptos make the current fiat system unmanageable and there becomes a disruption in the ability to use fiat getting utilities to our homes, that could be devastating. It would correct itself but how many people would suffer before cryptos became the norm.

It would correct itself....or would it? That is the true question considering now banking sectors and the fed itself are creating entities within to look closely at cryptos. Anytime banks and the fed look close at something, I cringe knowing the odds that they will attempt to create a disruption turning things much worse than what they really are.

If it didn't mass deaths would be the norm. Lets just hope they allow it to correct.
