The Damsel In Distress
It’s remarkable, the way all of the corporate, ie: “mainstream” news outlets are immediately lining up their narratives to push for/support this potential war with Venezuela – all leading off the other day with “The risky rescue of the damsel/princess/Nobel Prize winning neocon (Maria Machado) in distress” as their opening scene. CNN, Wall Street Journal, NYTimes, FOX News, Washington Post, etc.,etc..(1),(2),(3) Any old war will do, no matter how unnecessary, no matter how utterly counterproductive for all involved. All except …
There is a faction, a set of affiliated oligarchs, mostly UK/European (and some US) bankers who always make tremendous profits off of war. In fact, the more destruction and chaos that’s produced, the bigger the fortune is that they collect. This is not an inference, this is an accessible documented fact.(4)
The most remarkable thing of all is that none of this is really a secret. It’s as if some centuries old thought implant, a mental virus perhaps(?), keeps us from following the money to its source. We (humans) are not killers by “nature”. That’s nonsense. We’ve simply forgotten that, as a species, it’s been the recognition of the power of solidarity that’s lifted us out of the earthly lunch pails of our more individually powerful adversaries, be they cave lions, saber-toothed tigers, paleolithic bears or modern multibillionaire bankers.(5)
The Capitalism Versus Socialism Argument is a Red Herring. The Real Issue/Problem is As Follows:
As former hedge fund manager and current geopolitical analyst/author Alex Krainer describes in the (highly recommended) video clip at citation number (6) below,
“The current international monetary system is effectively a ponzi scheme that ensnares and corrupts both capitalist and socialist systems. The system has been put together by the world’s most powerful bankers. It doesn’t have to be the way it is. The monetary system is the way it is because those who run it choose to have it remain that way.”
The monetary system, which profits off of the creation of more and more debt, is set up in such a way that it requires constant growth in order to stay alive. To give an example: When a banker gives you a loan of, say 100,000 dollars for a mortgage, you have to pay it back with interest. Generally speaking, over time, you’re going to end up paying it back twice, to the tune of about 200,000 dollars. The problem is, only the principle, only 100,000 dollars of what you pay back is gleaned from the existing amount of money in the general circulation pool. The additional 100,000 dollars that’s required to pay off the interest you owe the bank has to be earned and extracted from OUTSIDE the overall pool of money that existed when you agreed to pay back the loan. This creates a situation where growth is not only advantageous for bankers, it’s also essential in order to keep the overall system afloat.
In other words, without exaggeration, the current monetary system is a huge predatory money lending stratagem that financially entraps its prey in debt cycles and requires the annexation of new markets (growth) to add to its saturated, debt devoured ones. And how are new markets annexed? Generally, by generating wars and proxy wars that enable the opening of new markets and new host locations for the banking system. Notice how the growing debt crisis in the West has been paralleled by more and more wars and proxy wars, pretty much all of which have been generated (seemingly) by the US. In actuality though, the core instigators of the continually burgeoning madness we’ve endured these last 25 years have primarily been British European banks/bankers. This is also explained further in the link at citation number (6).
While all of this is happening the banking system continually accumulates untaxed financial holdings that now total out at over 50 trillion dollars, and counting.
Again, notice that nothing mentioned above is necessarily related to capitalism or socialism as systems proper. We’re living in a world right now that is completely subsumed in a usury trap set by bankers who’ve ensnared all existing governmental systems on the planet. Surprisingly, this is rarely discussed. Everyone just accepts it as if it were “part of the deal” of living in the modern world. In fact, the philosopher Aristotle wrote a critique of usury (the act of charging interest/creating incrementally added debt) in which he named it a crime on par with murder.(7)
Coming Soon: The Banking System’s System of Total Control
In a future article I’ll discuss how the banking system has gained control of Western electoral systems, the “mainstream” media and the military.
I realize that taking all of this in can feel a bit overwhelming at first. In time though it’ll begin to feel empowering – to be able to throw off the confusion that the system propagates and ultimately uses to control you.
