Allegorical Intermezzo

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

“If, however, as Pareto suggested… a governing elite is inevitable, then we are certainly under the wrong elites. Whether a circulation of elites can be completed in time to save the world economic system from ruin and the majority from destitution and veritable slavery is a question of no little urgency.” Michael Rectenwald

Remembering the Titanic | National Geographic Society

Imagine that on an April evening in 1912, the captain of the RMS Titanic had announced a grand ball at which the male passengers were asked to wear their wives’ clothing and vice-versa…. That was approximately the condition of Western Civ verging on springtime in 2023: preoccupied with silliness while the iceberg awaits.

But who would have thought the sinking of civilization would occur with such fantastic comic ornamentation? Men, in more ways than mere costuming, pretending to be women… incompetence honored, feted, even worshipped… intellect reduced to anti-thinking… anything of value thrown overboard in some weird post-modern potlatch ceremony of twisted moral righteousness…? But the hour is late, the party is near its end, and the iceberg is struck. The rest of the story will be you holding onto a few valuables, including your life, while the lifeboats get lowered.

From here forward, things get pretty interesting. And from here on, nobody is really in charge. The vacuum of leadership we’ve been living in becomes impossible to ignore, and nature (it’s rumored) hates a vacuum. For the moment, circumstances are in charge, not personalities.

Look no further than the fiasco in Ukraine, engineered by geniuses of the US foreign service in some daft exercise to show the world who’s who and what for. And, remind me: what was the basic idea there? To hamstring and hogtie Russia so badly that her people would overthrow the only rational head-of-state in Christendom, a figure who makes the presidents, chancellors, and prime ministers of Western Civ look like a troop of gibbering mandrills, with painted faces and blue butts, the ass-clowns of geopolitics.

Something tells me that this gang will not make it to the lifeboats. They’ll be left on deck gripping bottles of single malt scotch whiskey, singing Don’t Cry for me Argentina as the band plays, while the whole wicked colossus slides beneath the moonlight-tinted green waves. All of which is to say: these perilous and confounding times we live in are coming to a climax. Events are afoot now, choices must be made, truths will emerge, no one will be untouched, be careful who your friends are.

We’re waiting for financial markets, banks, and monies to blow, as an engine will when submerged in water. It can’t not happen, though every known device has been deployed to keep up appearances. The credibility of finance was thrown overboard a long time ago. Capital was sloshing around in the bilges as the ship heaved and pitched in the angry waters, and it had to go somewhere. The next turn will be when you go looking for where it went and you discover to your nauseated chagrin that the capital is just… gone! Through some legerdemain of physics, it disappeared… turned into a kind of anti-matter… fell through a black hole (possibly ripped by that iceberg), or up the smokestacks, like it was never there at all.

When that happens, our collective attention finally gets galvanized as by no shock before. When capital is truly gone, transmogrified into a whole lot of nothing, the time for standing by making faces and whining is over. By the way, this is the way the world ends for the vacuum known as “Joe Biden” and the Party of Chaos he is propped up to represent. Chaos, we will be astounded to learn, is not your friend, is not the solution to anything, least of all a polity that is floundering in lifeboats over cold, dark, deep water a thousand leagues from dry land. What’s more, there are no ships coming to the rescue. Guess why they put oars in the boats. Get set to pull, me hardies!

Yes, we’re at sea now, without a compass. Yet the stars sparkle dazzlingly above, and some aboard can actually read what they say and what they point to. If safety and sanity will not find us, maybe we can pull together toward wherever they wait. My gawd, it’s going to be a long haul, but have a little faith — remember what that is? (It’s the conviction that all of us together stand in some meaningful relation to existence.) Even if you’re too mentally drained to believe it, act as if it is so. Or, in post-modern parlance, fake it till you make it.

Didn’t think it would come to this when you signed on to the voyage? I guess so. You were comfortably ensconced one winter night in the mini-McMansion, on the overstuffed sofa, entertained by some Netflix inanity, scarfing down the microwaved cheeze morsels… when the wife said, “Hey, let’s book a cruise!” Seemed like a good idea at the time, which is what everything in the annals of history is and was. And now, look at where you are!

How appropriate to use the Titanic insurance scam as an example of a sinking society.
You know, because it was a deliberate act os sabatoge by The White Star Line.

No one died on a deliberately scuttled previously damaged Olympic which had been repainted as Titanic for the scam.

The Olympic was damaged after being rammed by a Navy ship. After the collision, Olympic leaned to one side. Not a feature for luxury pasengers.

So, the rich do what they always do, scam the insurance and have thousands of little guys pay for their bad luck.

It was the Titanic, my grandad new men who worked on it and disembarked be cause it already had a slow coal birth fire going. Men never left ship until it returned to last call port. 1/3 of the Titanics did in Cork, Ireland, and went by train back to Belfast. The fire was where the ship eventually broke in half.

That echoes in my head all the time now. It is true. In between the lines of the OT, it spells this out that there are bad angels given dominion over nations. There are allusions to other spirits and I think the implications of the Bible not going into detail are significant. Just leave them alone and fallow Christ so He can protect you. As for Gods plan, we will probably never get all the answers, because we are finite.

The not knowing everything really bothers the unbeliever, but I don’t think that can be helped.

exactly. That and Luke 4 reminds us that down here evil runs the show.
Luke 4: Satan tells Jesus, essentially, “I have been given, (by God) the power to give kingdoms and power and riches and prosperity to whomsoever, I Satan, choose.” Jesus responds OK that’s true but that he personally can’t be tempted and he suggests that others will be a strong as he is, and won’t sell out for bread alone . (good luck with that).
Officially, roughly 10 million kids are known to be sold or kidnapped into sex slavery each year. (unofficially, HSBC Bank, which gets a slap on the wrist fine by the satanic US DOJ once every ten years or so for being the go-to pedophile cartel financier in the 2oth and 21st century, can tell you the victim list is exponentially larger than that. And former HSBC Board Director Dick Comey (while they lost in court and paid that lunch tip fine) can tell you for a fact that you get promoted to FBI Director for funding pedos).
And most folks sell out for a pittance. The average bribe amount to moms selling their kids to these creeps in Thailand, for example is 300 bucks.

If you have not listened to one of the smartest people on the planet, do yourself a favor and listen to this woman.

She covers wide ranging interconnected topics involving the U.S. Titanic/the world and the geopolitical theater we are being herded together to watch…and be controlled by.

She brings up Detoxing and how critical it is from all the poisoning surrounding us, a theme I have been living with since drinking countless canteens of Dioxin laced river, stream, and even bomb crater water back in the day…and post often about here considering we all are living with/around poison bio weapons posing as vaccines, Chemtrails, poison foods, poison train derailments, poison fluoride water, etc. etc. etc.

She also gets into Gold and Silver and the almost 20 states bringing it back for transitions.

Just a brilliant long range deep thinking articulate woman.

CENTERAL BANK DIGITAL CURRANCY PRISON – CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS

By Greg Hunter On March 4, 2023 In Political Analysis 167 Comments

Central Bank Digital Currency Prison – Catherine Austin Fitts

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)

Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), Publisher of The Solari Report, financial expert and former Assistant Secretary of Housing (Bush 41 Admin.), says the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is much easier said than done. There is a monster fight behind the scenes between commercial banks and central banks. CAF explains, “You have bubbled an entire economy, and now you are bringing out something (CBDC) that could shrink the bubble dramatically, and it can put a lot of banks out of the game and out of the business. If the central banks are going to compete directly for retail accounts, it’s going to shrink the fees and business for a lot of banks. You are talking about cutting their income or putting them out of business. So, CBDC is highly controversial. One reason is people are beginning to wake up and realize, oh, I am no longer an insider. CBDC is going to turn me into a slave, and they are going to be able to take all my assets. You think they could lock you down during the pandemic? The CBDC is the ultimate lockdown tool, and they can lock anyone down whenever they feel like it.”

The Fed’s biggest fear is losing control of the financial system. CAF says, “The Fed is scared to death of the global debt growth model, and they kept this model going by growing the debt more and more and more. Now, interest rates are accelerating in a way . . . it shrinks your productivity. So, the pie that is supporting the debt, is shrinking. . . . This is a coup model just like in Ukraine. You push all the people out or you kill them. You have war conditions so you can pick everything up cheap. You can do this with government money to ‘help’ Ukraine. No, it is government money to help the insiders to buy Ukraine, control Ukraine, own Ukraine.”

CAF says if you want to fight against the CBDC, then start spending cash every day instead of electronic payments. CAF started with “Spend cash on Friday,” and it took off. CAF says, “Cash Friday became cash every day. You know why? It was so successful. We get these incredible stories . . . hundreds and hundreds of stories of people starting to engage with their local businesses about what are we going to do about all of this? It starts with cash because businesses pay 3% on their credit card fees. . . . This can be the difference between making a profit or a loss if everybody pays cash.”

CAF also talks about more ways coming where you can pay in gold and silver coins. CAF tells us why gold and silver should be core investments and why she likes silver more than gold. CAF tells us why she is not worried about the threat of nuclear war, what the NATO plan is for Russia and why it’s backfiring. CAF also talks about why the Second Amendment is the biggest block to digital currency prison and why she thinks “2023 is a pivotal year for freedom and opportunity.”

There is much more in the 55-minute interview.

While we wait for the Titanic to sink (and we all know it will), some thoughts on how to have enough $ to buy/bribe your way into a lifeboat:

So why has the FED propped up the stock market (via the so-called “FED Put” so far?:

1) Powell needs both Wall Street and public political cover to keep raising rates. So, he CAN’t let the S&P crash until he reaches his pause point (and he ain’t there yet by a long shot).
2) Powell’s main mission to raise rates and shift from a Eurodollar/LIBOR peg to FED-controlled SOFR [Secure Overnight Funding] rate, is NOT MERELY DUE TO THE INFLATION MONSTER (which the FED created under both R and D Uni-party regimes). It is due to Powell’s need to put the scale and rate of US dollar demand under DOMESTIC US (FED) control [SOFR rate rules] NOT under Eurodollar market control LIBOR rate rules).
Why? Because the current Eurodollar market allows WEF elites Lagarde [ECB and former IMF head], von der Leyen [EU Fuhrer] and Klaus Schwab (WEF 4th Reich Fuhrer) to call the monetary shots.

POWELL has effectively KILLED the Eurodollar/LIBOR rate control of US dollar supply and replaced it with US-based SOFR rules, as of April 14, 2023.
To consider this huge shift see –

The War for the Dollar is Already Over Part I

Once, the FED Funds rate hikes and SOFR rate transfer process are complete, the 2008 “straight-down” crash-on-steroids can commence in earnest sometime this summer and into the fall. In the meantime, it is likely to be a trader’s market lunging in both directions between S&P 4200 and 3750.

*Powell’s domestic control of US dollar supply via SOFR is still quintessentially a replica of Fascism (which its inventor, Mussolini, noted is “more accurately termed Corporatism”: “a joint venture” between corporate monopolies/cartels and a government Uni-Party monopoly screwing the serfs).
BUT, Powell’s version is a distinctly DOMESTIC US-focused model under new SOFR market control, NOT the EURO-Globalist version (on the old EURo-Nazi LIBOR market peg).
Once the capitulation stage of the liquidation of the ponzi bubble building since 2008 is finally complete (early 2024?), we all know that no matter who runs the FED, it will aggressively expand the government-welfare-for-billionaires mal-investments serving corporate monopoly/Deep state elites. And it will be falsely labeled “capitalism” – as it always is – by FOX, CNN, NBC etc. bobble-head dolls and by idiot Sheeple in both parties).
BUT, IF Powell is still at the helm of the FED through the 2024 fake election or even his full term of 2026 (instead of Schwab-Nazis like Lael Brainard or Janet Yellen) US dollar creation will be a function of largely US elite interests (through SOFR) not global Euro-Nazi interests (under LIBOR).

So, although it is hard to admit, Powell at the FED through 2024 or 2026 is infinitely less horrible for US (and for pro-freedom individual) interests than the likely alternatives (because it buys you a few more years to get a lifeboat off the Titanic), especially given the fact that he is slow-walking CBDC slavery.
Schwab-knob-sucking globalists Brainard and Yellen want us under cash-less digital slavery ASAP.
Powell in contrast, says: “So, we see this as a process of at least a couple of years, where we’re doing work and building public confidence in our analysis and in our ultimate conclusions, which as I say, we certainly haven’t reached yet.”

US CBDC “Won’t Be Anonymous,” Says Fed Chair Jerome Powell

Do you want to be ruled by FED banker-as-robber (Powell) or Charlie-Manson-Part-II (all other FED candidates who could actually get Senate approval) ?
Sadly, the answer is clear. Remember, none of your wet dream candidates would be nominated or even get a single Senate vote (Rand Paul is all bark and no bite, and his vote is worthless anyway) much less get approved.

“…while the iceberg awaits.”
Pretty sure we hit that berg a good while back. In fact, a good deal of the discussion on our side of the great divide involves arguing over just when and how – while the string quartet turns from Mozart to MoPimpDiddy.

Variant- yes we hit it long ago.
Titanic Iceberg Impact was really 9-11-2001 when “endless war to divert idiot Sheeple attention from ponzi bubble pops and bankster bailouts and to make them look patriotic” became permanent US policy.
We definitely hit the iceberg when Globalist-Nazi “Shrub Bush” normalized infinite welfare to reward Quadrillion$ derivative fraud backed by fake collateral. He boasted “I killed capitalism in order to save it” and then put al-Qaeda in the drivers seat in all of the Middle East.

The iceberg had already hit it on 9-11-2001 when Bush’s Saudi-based, al-Qaeda pals created a pretext for endless war.
The ‘Smoking Gun’ is the case file of the 9-11 survivors suit against the FBI in filed Los Angeles county. Court documents revealed that the Bush FBI and CIA brass knew about and enabled the 9-11-2001 attack long before it happened (we know that because some FBI Nazi dweeb forgot to redact FBI internal correspondence in the discovery phase of the trial and spilled the beans to the idiot public – not that they gave a shit while drinking Cognac on the Titanic].

Then on November of 2001 – to help divert attention from the 2000-2001 ponzi bubble pop crash and the subsequent “endless free ZIRP cash for banksters” by Greenspan – Bush started a permanent 5-alarm fire in the Middle East by launching his infamous CIA “Airlift of Evil” (also known as the Kunduz Airlift).

US military planes carried all of Bush’s jihadist al-Qaeda and Taliban (Sunni) Muslim terrorist buddies to the US-bankrolled Sunni Muslim terror sanctuary known as Pakistan.
Then, Bush invaded Iraq (on a lie) and declared “Mission Accomplished” in June 2003. Bush’s jihadist Sunni Muslim gang from the “Airlift of Evil” and the DOD-backed ‘Salafist’ jihadists flooded into US-ruled Iraq and killed virtually all of the 1.5 million Christians in Iraq – only a few thousand were left after the 2003-2011 US occupation of Iraq concluded. George Bush presided over one of the largest genocide campaigns vs Christians in any nation ever. [While Franklin Graham kissed his ass].

It has been Rinse and Repeat ever since.

US endless war initiatives and bankster ponzi collapses go hand-in-hand.
*2000-2001 crash = 9-11-2001 diversion;
*2008 mega-derivative-fraud-crash = endless fake war diversion supporting Sunni jihadists – especially al-Qaeda – in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
*2023-24 pop of the “Global Central Bank Debt Bubble”= WW III pitting the Nazi 4th Reich vs Russia then China.

(Putin) The only rational head-of-state in Christendom, a figure who makes the presidents, chancellors, and prime ministers of Western Civ look like a troop of gibbering mandrills, with painted faces and blue butts, the ass-clowns of geopolitics.
LOL ..That is a “keeper” and so true it makes you scratch you head and wonder how many people can see that truth.

Enough with the Titanic conspiracy and analogies, it’s a distraction. The central premise that the elites that rule us have grown more powerful over the millennia is pure truth. Evil is never far from the seat of power, it’s gone by different names during it’s evolution. Today, and for the past few centuries we have known it as the cabal of Central Bankers, aka The Khazarians…

Bill,

The truth – Real History – is never a distraction.

The Khazarian’s exposure is growing by leaps and bounds…the Titanic DOT …will connect with those who understand what that DOT means just as the FF 911 DOT and the FF J6 and all the other DOTS means.

And I don’t mean J6 in a positive way considering the other DOT who pulled them into that FF TRAP.

TITANIC CONSPIRACY

Andre Nolan September 20, 2022

This is only one part of a larger picture. For more information, please read Investigating The Titanic Conspiracy and The James Cameron Conspiracy.

Do you still remember the Hollywood block-buster movie film TITANIC with actor Leonardo de Caprio? Well, it is not the real story or perhaps just a part of the story. What you’ll read below is the true story as to what really happened to the famous ship called Titanic. The information you’ll read below is not a conspiracy theory, but rather well-recorded in the books of World History.

The sinking of the Titanic has always been an event surrounded by a great deal of mystery. Elements that led up to the eventual demise of the ‘unsinkable’ vessel have been questioned and analyzed for nearly 100 years. Many believe that fate brought the maiden voyage of the Titanic to an end, others believe that reckless tactics throughout the voyage played the primary role in her sinking, and others still believe that the Titanic tragedy was brought upon by much more sinister events. One of many Titanic conspiracies floating around, many believe that the sinking of the famous vessel was well planned, well executed, and orchestrated shape the world as we know it today. This is the Federal Reserve Titanic conspiracy.

Certain conspiracy theorists believe that there was a force behind the sinking of the Titanic. A Catholic order known as the Jesuits compelled to carry out Jesus’ work. In this instance, theorists believe that the establishment of the U.S. Federal Reserve was ushered into being. Those in belief of the theory speak of a group of Illuminati, enlightened individuals with a plan for a New World Order, in which it will be necessary to establish the Federal Reserve.

Many are unclear on what exactly the Federal Reserve is. Operated outside of the constraints of the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve has these responsibilities.

1. Conducting the nation’s monetary policy by influencing monetary and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.

2. Supervising and regulating banking institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the nation’s banking and financial system, and protect the credit rights of consumers.

3. Maintaining stability of the financial system and containing systemic risk that may arise in financial markets.
4. Providing financial services to depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign official institutions, including playing a major role in operating the nation’s payments system.

Theorists believe that this Jesuit establishment was created so that the order could loan money, shape the world landscape, and become one of the most powerful organizations in the world. Here’s how the Federal Reserve and the Titanic are connected. In 1910, seven men met on Jekyll island just off the coast of Georgia to plan the Federal Reserve Bank. Nelson Aldrich and Frank Vanderclip represented the Rockefeller (Illuminati) financial empire. Henry Davidson, Charles Norton and Benjamin Strong represented J.P. Morgan (Illuminati). Paul Warburg (Illuminati) represented the Rothschilds (Illuminati) Banking dynasty of Europe. The Rothschilds were the banking agents for the Jesuits and hold `the key to the wealth of the Roman Catholic Church.’

Necessary to their plans, the Federal Reserve did have some opposition; those who saw what the future would become if banking was outside of the government’s hands, the rates set by a private company such as the Fed. All the wealthy and powerful men the Jesuits wanted to get rid of were invited to take the cruise. Three of the richest and most important of these were Benjamin Guggenheim, Isador Strauss, the head of Macy’s Department Stores, and John Jacob Astor, probably the wealthiest man in the world. Their total wealth, at that time, using dollar values of their day was more than 500 million dollars. Today that amount of money would be worth nearly eleven billion dollars. These three men were coaxed and encouraged to board the floating palace. They had to be destroyed because the Jesuits knew they would use their wealth and influence to oppose a Federal Reserve Bank as well as the various wars that were being planned.

It can also be mentioned that J.P. Morgan, the individual contracted to build the Titanic was scheduled to be on the maiden voyage, but canceled.

Supporters of the idea that the Titanic shipwreck was orchestrated carefully, a Jesuit tempore co-adjutor was picked to captain the ship, a man that would do anything for the order and God’s will; Captain Edward Smith. Quite possibly the most experienced captain of the time, Smith had navigated the waters of the Atlantic for 26 years, a master of the icy waters that the Titanic would be sailing. He was a Jesuit and worked for J.P. Morgan. As National Geographic stated in their 1986 documentary entitilted ‘The Secrets of the Titanic,’ “Anyone could be a Jesuit and their identity not be known.”

When the ship departed southern England, on board was Father Francis Browne. He was the most powerful Jesuit in all of Ireland and the Jesuit Master of Edward Smith. Here is Jesuit treachery at its finest. The provincial Father Francis Browne boards the Titanic, photographs the victims, most assuredly briefs the Captain concerning his oath as a Jesuit, and the following morning bids him farewell. (Eric J. Phelps, Vatican Assassins Halcon Unified Services).
Theorists believe that the mysteries surrounding the sinking of the Titanic are simply too coincidental not to be premeditated. Smith, being a mater navigator of the Atlantic, allegedly sailed directly into iceberg territory, failing to heed the numerous warnings given by other ships to decrease speed, and tread carefully. The glancing blow to the side of the Titanic is also said to violate basic safety measurements associated with sailing. Danger is meant to be met head on to avoid exactly what happened to the Titanic.

Less well known: the Titanic’s flare guns fired white flares. Red was (and is) the emergency standard. Other colors were used for identification (white = White Star Line). When the Titanic was sinking, her crew fired her flare guns. The Californian and other ships saw the white flares, but didn’t consider them a distress call. At one point, the Californian, commanded by Captain Lord, may have been as close as six miles to the stricken vessel.

According to other websites, the box containing this gun was the box taken off the Titanic by one of the ship’s crew on that fateful April night. The box contained . . . an unused flare gun.

Clearly, the Five Shot, 33 Pinfire Derringer Revolver here does NOT fit this case. What happened to the Titanic’s flare gun contained therein? It was most probably destroyed as part of White Star Line’s cover-up of the failures leading to the disaster. Someone kept the box for decades. Did they keep the flare gun?

All three men, whom were opposed to the Federal Reserve, died during the sinking of the Titanic.

ALL THREE MEN, WHOM WERE OPPOSED TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE, DIED DURING THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC.

The Federal Reserve is installed as part of the Federal Reserve act in December of 1913, roughly a year and eight months after the Titanic tragedy, and World War I less than a year later. Theorists believe that the Federal Reserve and the Jesuits were responsible for funding the United States, Germany, and Russia in the war.
