Mechanisms Of Control: Financial

“You must not take the Controller away. We will all die! The Controller is young and powerful. Perfect!” – Star Trek, TOS

Song lyric idea:  “The Beautiful Sheeple, The Beautiful Sheeple . . .”

Currency started out innocently enough.  If I wanted to sell my wheat and then buy some beer, well, I could trade my wheat to the brewer.  But what if the brewer had all the wheat he needed, but needed, oh, hops?  My wheat would do him no good.  There is evidence of a guy making beer in the Bible, after all there’s a book in the New Testament named Hebrews.

I could try to trade my wheat to the guy who grew hops, but if he didn’t need any wheat, what was I to do?

The problem that currency solved was a simple one – how do I trade with someone who doesn’t need what I have?  How can accountants get into amusement parks?  How can ATF® agents do, well, anything since absolutely no one has any use for them?

The solution was some sort of medium of exchange.  In one sense, it’s magic.  As long as everyone believes, it works.  When used judiciously (i.e., backed by gold on demand) it transforms into something that is hard to manipulate – what we’d call money.

How do you greet a German wheat farmer?  “Gluten tag.”

When backed by nothing, (like now) it’s simply cash or currency.

The history of the last fifty years (and the last twenty, especially) has been the history of printing currency out of nothing and then giving it to a few small groups, and then they use the cash to buy up everything.

Once a group owns everything, there’s no reason for them to worry about profit:  they already own all the things worth owning.  That’s BlackRock©.  The Aptly Named® Larry Fink runs it, and it’s no longer about profits, it’s about control based on his ideology.

What does Fink expect you to do when it’s cold?  Huddle around a candle.  What about when it’s freezing?  Maybe then Larry will let you light the candle.

People (last I checked) still drive cars driven by sweet, sweet internal combustion engines.  Those internal combustion engines (for the most part) require sweet, sweet crude oil to be turned into gasoline and diesel.  Yeah, ethanol exists and so does biodiesel, but those can’t pull the load, and ethanol actively takes food out of the supply chain.

What if, however, the United Nations leaned on banks to get them to stop the supply of oil by choking off the supply of cash to oil producing nations?

If it wasn’t clear before, it should be clear now:  it’s not about humanity or human rights – it’s about control.

Is the reason Saudi Arabia has so much money all the oil cash, or that they won’t let their women spend it?

Please don’t believe me, believe them when they say it.  Here is the head of the Bank of International Settlement (BIS) saying that “central banks will have absolute control over all money (sic)”.  This is in how each dollar (or whatever unit) is used, what people are allowed to buy, and what people are prohibited to buy.

Why do Central Bankers drive Ferraris®?  Because you’re okay with a Fiat©.

One thing I know that they’d love to do is to make money evaporate to force people to spend rather than save.  This can be done with electronic currency, and I expect they will do it to make sure that people can’t save and are forced to work every day of their lives.

Even more than now.

• 35% of Americans think they’ll max out at least one credit card this year.
• 38% are using their cards for expenses that they never used a card for.
• 62% are considering a “side-gig”, even if they already have a job.

Things are looking down for many Americans.  When it comes to the point of using credit cards for financing life, it’s getting rough – I know, I was in that trap when I was in my 20s.  I’ve seen it here in Modern Mayberry where the labor market is now getting tighter, and more people are looking for work.  Employers can now be a bit choosier, which will put downward pressure on wages.  The reason for this is simple:  people aren’t going to McDonald’s®, they’re eating at home for half (or less) the price.

Another sign of control:  in a recent month, 1.2 million “native or heritage”, (i.e., Americans actually born as Americans from American parents in America) lost their jobs.  They were replaced by 600,000 immigrants.  Low-cost labor is still being imported, and putting even more wage pressure on the middle and lower classes.  The Biden administration even ordered that some of the gates in “The Wall” be welded open, which defeats the whole “wall” idea.

Looks like that Bill Gates was in charge of the wall, too.  Look at all the Windows®.

To paraphrase William Jennings Bryant (among others), it is difficult to get a person to voice dissent when their next meal requires them to agree.  That, then, is the nature of control of economic systems as demonstrated by BlackRock®, the BIS©, and the World Economic Forum™ – the desire is to make it so that the average person cannot resist without being kicked outside of the system that provides food, shelter, and the occasional luxury.

I’m sure it would be easy to start your own Central Bank . . . oh, maybe not.

Even that deal is in danger:  the desire to dramatically change the way that people work and live is on the table for these groups.  Who, exactly, do you think wants you to live in a pod and eat the bugs, and not own anything?  Owning everything that matters isn’t enough – they want to own everything, and make your ability to have anything depending on you giving them all of yourself.

Even your thoughts.

And to think, all we really wanted was a beer.  I guess it was pretty expensive.
