Towards A Better Tomorrow : Part 5 - Averting The Imminent Collapse!

in #money8 years ago (edited)

Colds sweats, night terrors, bed wetting.
These are symptoms that every politician exhibits when he or she has The Nightmare!
What's this nightmare? What's the one fear shared by anyone who has EVER held office or power?

Insurrection & rebellion!

Why? The answer is obvious isn't it? A sated and sedated population is where your power comes from when you are a person in power. An uprising means your powerbase has crumbled, because in reality, power is the gift of the people and it's a gift that can be taken away in a heartbeat.

If the powerful were going to crash our economy, it would rob them of the one thing they really want,
More power!

Why then do supposedly intelligent people fall for claptrap like the impending demise of our economy during Shimitah / jubilee/insert time period ?

It's mostly ignorance. It's because people love to hate and they feel emboldened by shouting about their fear of anything that might shake their belief system to the core. The fact is they see jews or whatever group they feel like hating that day as somehow being in total control and don't really understand the dynamics of power or how money, especially the dollar actually works.

Listen up, Jews hate other Jews about as as much as you hate others of your own race. They're about as friendly with one another too. Same with blacks, whites, whatever. People like hating other people.

By having an enemy they can blame their woes on, they don't have to step up to the plate, put on their big girl panties and get to work solving their own problems.

There's nothing I can do for those people. Those who genuinely believe that catastrophe looms. Those who choose to live in fear and hate rather than the assurances of knowledge and understanding. Nothing I can do anymore. I've tried all I can and it doesn't seem to help.

Why did I just say "choose to live in fear?"
Because fear like every other emotion we have, is just a choice we make.
Fear & hate these are powerful, primal emotions. They are poisonous and they spread like a virus.
This is why I stand against those who peddle it, every chance get.

Fear and hatred can make you physically sick. So why buy it when it's for sale?

You think the world is going to end? I can give you advice that will protect you absolutely no charge. But you know what? It's the same advice I give to everyone.

The world is sustainable. Your personal situation is not.

Prepare yourself, take steps now because to your family there is no difference between the end of the world and you losing your job.

I've got a ton of really good solid advice on preparing. Advice from people who have actually lived through bad times, not just those who fetish hardship. But it means reading books, getting handy with hand tools, getting away from large cities and settling in a more rural, more laid back lifestyle and getting to know your neighbors.

You'll live longer, you'll die happier and you'll have less stress.

You see, none of these people peddling fear are genuinely afraid that there will be a collapse. They just know that if they predict out on a long enough timescale eventually they will be proven correct. I can do this too!

I predict that some time between 2016 and 2026 there will be a disaster in the USA. The government will fail to respond correctly and hundreds, possibly thousands of lives will be lost It will be the most expensive natural disaster in history!

Why?

If you pick a broad enough target and make a prediction, it will eventually come true. But the fact you were right about the event does not imply you ever knew anything about the cause. Just that the law of large numbers took hold, aka shit happens.

Now a more immediate prediction. Sometime in the next 5 years there will be an economic contraction, To understand contraction, you have to understand expansion and to understand that you need know at a fundamental level what money actually is.

Money is a claim to the labors of other people. Yes that's right people. Slavery never went away, what happened is that we earned the right to choose our masters.

Now money by itself actually gives you nothing. You have to have people willing to perform the labors you need them to perform at a price you are willing and able to pay.

Now you know what money is, I can help you dispel some myths you've been taught.
For instance, the US Debt.

The US Debt isn't like your mortgage or your student loans.

What it really represents is the "cold sink", in the economic engine.

Look at the picture of this stirling engine. It's a near perfect model of economics at a global scale.
You have a hot side "production of goods" and you have a cold side "consumption of goods".

The debt is what allows the US to consume goods and services from abroad including China.
In fact China is the single largest holder of US Treasury Bills.
If China took their money and instead invested it into increasing the production of goods, then they would be flooded with goods and no place to sell them.
So they buy US Debt, but why?

Because the US Federal Govt is the single largest consumer in the world.
But this isn't a loan in the traditional sense. China isn't loaning anyone anything.
This is money being returned to us due to trade imbalance.
You see nothing the USA can build is affordable to your average Chinese person.
China has abused it's position of power and frequently passed protectionist tariffs which run against our free trade agreements. While we can buy plenty from them, we cannot sell to them. They have to pay a price for that.

So the way that they return the money that was taken from the US economy, is by purchasing US Debt.

This keeps dollars in the economy.

The government directly employs millions of people, but every single citizen in the USA owes their living to the US Government at some level or another. And for this privilege, we are all taxed. Now understand, I'm not condoning this, I'm explaining it.

But now you understand this debt you can understand why economic collapse is not going to happen.
If the US Govt defaulted on this debt, all it would do is piss off a lot of people.
The dollar isn't likely to take much of a hit, but every other currency in the world would come crashing down.

Why?
Because the US Debt is what props up the economy of every other country on earth. This is what it means to be the world's reserve currency. The reserve is in treasury bonds at the fed, not gold bars sitting in Ft Knox.

Other countries can't trust their own currency to rise in value or even stay flat so they buy ours and then "lend it back".
But here's the trick to this that few people realize.

The US gets to set the interest rate and also gets to say how much money is going to be circulating. If a negative interest rate TBill is bad, it's only bad to the holders of those TBills, but they can always sell and someone will buy them as long as the USA remains the dominant economic force in this world and frankly we will for a long time, but eventually our power will wane.

But the thing is, even a negative interest TBill pays better than holding any other currency in bonds, in terms of the only thing that really matters purchasing power parity.

So the USA defaulting on this debt would translate to closing up shop in these countries and bringing all those jobs back home.

This is exactly what contraction is. It is the opposite of expansion. Expansion can only be fueled by debt, you are borrowing from somewhere. Contraction is reducing your debt load either by paying it down or defaulting, or negotiating a better rate.

Right now the dollar is the world's strongest currency.

THE RICH LOSE THEIR ASSESS WHEN THIS HAPPENS!
GEORGE SOROS DOES NOT WANT THIS!
THE BANKERS DO NOT WANT THIS!
NO ONE IN THE GLOBAL ELITE WANTS THIS!!!

But we do, we want this really, really badly.

A falling dollar makes imports more expensive.
When that happens, more of the manufacturing base begins to return home.

This creates jobs. Jobs create income, income creates deposits and deposits are used to fund new loans and the cycle continues onward, until technical advances, automation and AI end all of our jobs.

The cycle is sustainable but it DOES have to cycle.
When they so called elite discuss this happening, this isn't a flippin conspiracy, it's how money actually works!!!

Think about it this way...
When you breath in deeply, you also have to exhale rapidly as well.

Money works exactly like this. It concentrates in an area until it can't concentrate anymore and then it lets loose.

Expansion and contraction are normal. There is nothing you can do about it, it's how economies work.
For that wheel to turn there must be both an expansion and a contraction.
What is controllable is how deeply you breathe and how long each breath takes.

Right now we've breathed as deeply as we can and we're holding it in.
Eventually we have to exhale.

There, that feels better doesn't it?

I'm just at the beginning of this post but this popped up right away in my thoughts when you said: "choose to life in fear".

"
… But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."

  • Bill Hiks, Life is just a ride.

Very true but that's a topic for another blog. Tonights topic is how the economy is a lot like shirley temple taking a bong hit.

Or just watch this, another visualisation of economic processes... So... Get rid of the Dams so wild salmon can get back to their homes.

@williambanks

Especially in Steemit I have seen way more scare mongering in regards to economic collapse especially from people like the Tinfoiled Vigilante and Co.

People always try to advocate their own point of view forgetting that these things are mostly attributed to cycles. Nonetheless the ignorant always fall for silly scenarios since the people who are pushing them are invested one way or another in other mediums (e.g gold).

Even if everything collapses a new elite with concentrated wealth will rise up. Whether that is Bitcoin, Gold or anything else, it doesn't make much of a difference.

Very true. I prefer to call it peddling fear. Mongers are a respectable hard working lot ;)

Most excellent, thanks for calming the fear vibe!

This is very interesting. I had been wondering, what is the other side to everything I have been hearing. There is always another side; usually several sides. I await part 6 for more insight into tomorrow according to your thoughts. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I decided to run this one because of a comment that got a lot of upvotes over in dollarvigilantes blog. If you haven't read it, you should. It's still a good read even if I vehemently disagree. All sides do have a right to be heard.

I love your well considered posts. I have a slightly different angle. I "feel" something major/life changing worldwide is going to happen soon. Life feels like treading water. I often think that both the media and alternative media feed this feeling. The feeling is so strong that I honestly don't know if it is real, or I need to see a psychologist!

Oh I don't disagree. Something is in the air. Something big is coming and when it does the world will change forever.
My post was specifically regarding the fear peddling conspiracy crap.

I don't believe in conspiracies. There are people who conspire yes. But multigenerational plans to take over the world or destabilize the economy to seize power? No absolutely not.

The only way 2 people can keep a secret is if one of them is dead. Even then, it's difficult.

I feel confused most of the time. I definitely get what you saying about the conspiracy stuff. I appreciated your response to DV. But there is probably a kernel of truth in many of them. Personally I'm not concerned for myself and my husband, we are adaptable, but when you have children you are constantly vulnerable, and I have 3! @alechahn has a way of dealing with it, to be a better person. What else can you do. I appreciate your voice of sanity.

Hehe, because of my video responses? :)

This part of the article is very telling: "The world is sustainable. Your personal situation is not."

The enviromentalist's with slogans like "save the planet" have a certain arroganz. It should say, "Save our way of life" or "save civilisation as we now it"...

To each his own. You are being invited to consider all sides and find what truth suits you.
Try not to live in fear.

The issue is that with media now socialized and more open accessible, everyone voices there views, so we hear their inner voices now. As Fear and Love are the two most influential emotions that drive people, now that everyone loves themselves on a social platform that only leaves fear. However the online dating scene is still flourishing.

Wow! That was a very salient point. I'm upvoting and following you now!

Same here. Following wise words, in hopes to hear more.

In case anyone is curious as to why Shirley Temple smoking a peace pipe was in anyway particularly relevant. It's because as I was writing this my follower count jumped to 420. ;)

Well, well, not quite true. There are people on this earth that want more power. They are already drunk with power and want more power, in my opinion they are mentally deranged.

If you want to gain more power, you create a crisis, things get very terrible and after that the conspirators start to present solutions (already solutions thought by the same people who created those problems). So yes, founding both sides of the equation gives you total control. If you have the trust of the people (that are totally deceived) and the money printing apparatus, this is a very real and a possible scenario. This technique of deceiving is called the Hegelian dialectics.

If you want to get into this you have to learn about the entire philosophy of
marxism, cultural marxism, central banking and the jewish cabal (the jew new world order, Rothschilds, Rockefellers and the Soros of the world ). It's a complex puzzle but the pieces fit together nicely.

In today's world it's so easy to control the monetary policy in order to destroy an entire nation. A lot of people today are dependent on the world massive industry. But of course there are people who can live of the land because they own land and have small farms. The plan is to make those fertile lands unavailable to common people through every means necessary and then push the insane plan to destroy the economy.

If the elite pull the monetary rug right now there will be a massive blowback, people who have the possibility will grow food and sell it to others, there will be a massive black market, bitcoin will rise up or any other alternative currency that will be off limits to them. In the end they will be poor, but if they do it slowly over decades it will work, occasionally they can plan depressions and recessions so that most people will not feel the need to change their lifestyles. (This is their massive unknown, the behavior of people in this kind of scenario.)

Hell on earth can be created but the natural order is heaven and they know this. In my opinion they are slaves to their ideology and their psychopathy.

So before you start convincing people that this may not be true, start using some common sense. Detectives use their intuition to think like criminals, so you have to use yours to think like psychopaths. So if you want to be the world controller and if you are drunk on the illusion of power, how would you do it? Of course considering the architecture of today's world. Ask yourself these questions and stop being self deluded. It's not fear porn, it's just awareness. The motto is to be prepared for the worst mentally and physically and live for the best, embracing the possibility of suffering or even worse, death. We live among mentally deranged people who happen to hold positions of power, it's a fact, we have to deal with it.
