The how, my version... just a theory.

They do it by creating 'perceived' wealth effortlessly out of thin air, and then annexing real wealth through the tax code, but more inportantly through inflation (the hidden tax). Try to think of it as financial feudalism.


They don't care about collecting paper which is worthless anyway, and they have the sole power to create as much of it as they could possibly want. What they can't do is make paper produce 'real' wealth. They need people willing to accept paper with numbers and faces and signatures on it to do that.


"Here's some paper so you can get started building that house/factory/store. What's that, you've run out of paper to give us back, that's okay, we'll just take the house/factory/store. Would anybody like some more paper?"


Yes of course, and after a period of fantastic expansion, they slam the brakes on the magic paper/credit machine and wait for the serfs to run out of paper. Once the factories, appartment complexes, shopping centers, corporations, media outlets are recentralized in their hands, you start hearing the siren song of "paper, paper, paper for everyone!".


Most banks are solvent, but they won't lend, why? Because they WANT more deed/share holders to run out of paper. Once the real economy is re-consolidated by the paper economy, it will be time to put everyone back to work, gotta get that paper yo! And so the paper/credit machine will start rolling again at a fever pitch, so by the time you cash your paycheck and get to the grocercy store, YOUR money is already worth less, buys less. So you have to just work harder! By the time you retire, you can't even live off the pension. You scratch your head wondering how you worked hard all your life and are struggling to get by.


Productive effort creates wealth, but over time, your share of the fruits of your labour becomes smaller and smaller as the inflation erodes the quality of your life and taxation shackles your ability to compete.


Well, that's my version of "the business cycle" anyway.


If only Mises was studied as much as Keynes.


Sorry in advance if this post is annoying or seems stupid or simplistic to anyone, but that is what I see.

Very Good Reading!

"We expropriated and wasted not only such real wealth (production) as there has been in the present times, but we wasted the accumulated wealth of all the preceding generations, and finally (and most disgusting of all) we then went into vast debt and consumed the wealth of future generations."

"Don't talk like one of them, you're not! Even if You'd like to be, to them you're just a freak, like ME. They need you right now, when they don't, they'll cast you out, LIKE A LEPER. See, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world ALLOWS them to be, I'll show you, when the chips are down, these, these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve!" - The Joker

A nice poem for a change

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach for another is to risk involvement
To expose your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To believe is to risk failure
But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing
The people who risk nothing do nothing, have nothing, and are nothing
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live
Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom
Only a person who risk is free.

“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false-face for the urge to rule it.”

—H. L. Mencken

WAR IS A RACKET

"Yes, they are getting ready for another war. Why shouldn't they? It pays high dividends.

But what does it profit the men who are killed? What does it profit their mothers and sisters, their wives and their sweethearts? What does it profit their children?

What does it profit anyone except the very few to whom war means huge profits?

Yes, and what does it profit the nation?

Take our own case. Until 1898 we didn't own a bit of territory outside the mainland of North America. At that time our national debt was a little more than $1,000,000,000. Then we became "internationally minded." We forgot, or shunted aside, the advice of the Father of our country. We forgot George Washington's warning about "entangling alliances." We went to war. We acquired outside territory. At the end of the World War period, as a direct result of our fiddling in international affairs, our national debt had jumped to over $25,000,000,000. Our total favorable trade balance during the twenty-five-year period was about $24,000,000,000. Therefore, on a purely bookkeeping basis, we ran a little behind year for year, and that foreign trade might well have been ours without the wars.

It would have been far cheaper (not to say safer) for the average American who pays the bills to stay out of foreign entanglements. For a very few this racket, like bootlegging and other underworld rackets, brings fancy profits, but the cost of operations is always transferred to the people – who do not profit."

A Tiny Gargantuan Part of The Puzzle

Bye Bye Dollar.

It was nice knowing you, well actually not really. I keep hearing from the die hards that the american economy can turn around. I keep hearing that it is in the interest of foreign countries to support a strong dollar. Why? Don't they consume as well as produce? Why do they need to keep taking American I.O.U.'s in exchange for REAL products of REAL value? To support the U.S. stock market at this point would be international welfare.

Is there even an American economy to turn around? I have the impression that there is no real economy left in the U.S. . I have the impression that what most overeducated analysts keep refering to as the American economy, is in reality, the american line of credit with foreigners. Well shit numbnuts, you gotta pay back what you borrow at some point!

I now shit myself from laughter every time I hear the term service based economy.

I roll around on the floor gasping for air from the fits of laughter when I hear that a low dollar will be good for exports. What exports! All the factories are in Mexico and China!!!

I keep hearing the word recession batted around. Fuck recession, it's 8 years late to start speaking of recession. Welcome to Depression 2.0.

Hey, central banks of the world, please go fuck yourselves.

Sneaky Bugger

It has been said that the greatest trick the devil ever played was to convince mankind that he didn't exist, perhaps this is so. I am more of the opinion that the greatest trick he ever played on mankind is to convice him that he can change the world by working within the system. You do not change Satan's system, Satan's system changes you.

No rodent problems around here.

An old epiphany...

The means determine the ends.

Are your conclusions rational?

I've been watching the value of worlwide currencies decline in purchasing power since I bought my first pack of bubble gum. I've been watching people lose whatever their faith was and turn it over to people, mainly politicians.

Here is a newsflash, from diaper training to writing exams, to building wealth, life does not get easier, ever. If your life is getting easier as you age, you're just getting older, not growing older.

So what is the condition of modern man? He can't trust what he eats, what he buys, who he deals with professionally, who he votes for, his educators, his physicians and so on. So who can he trust? God that's who. I can honestly state that my God has never failed me. My god has never allowed fire to not be hot, nor ice to not be cold, nor gravitey to pull me AWAY from the earth. He set the program in motion aeons ago and it's still going, untill it stops that is. All programs terminate at some point. Human DNA software has a termination point and all the loops medicine can add won't make a difference, because the universe itself is designed, or ordained if you will, to terminate. So life is fairly relative, until you consider eternity. Eternity is the mother of all absolutes.

Where I live, the majority of people are senior citizens. What strikes me with immense awe is the fact that for most old people I've met, the older they get, it seems, the MORE they think they are going to live forever. The awful consequence of this very flawed way of looking at life is the phenomenon of people continuing to do the same things and expecting different results. If you want to change your condition, you have to change your conditioning. Chuck D of Public Enemy fame once stated in a rap composition that "if I can't change the people around me, I change the people around me" well stated brother.

The consequences of refusing to take the good with the bad are catastrophic. The good, for example being alive, the bad, the imposibility of living well without following some very carefully and clearly laid out rules. The last century was one of UNFREAKINGBELEIVEABLE slaughter. This 'new century' is off to a much worse start. Roughly a million murdered Iraqis, the plight of the Palestinians, the general plight of Africa. The general plight of poor people worldwide. Genetic engineering is poisoning the food supply. World war 3 is around the corner baby, no really, I mean it, and there is only a 101% possiblity that it will go nuclear.

If you still haven't figured out that you need to get somewhat self sufficient, you are NOT in touch with reality. James Brown once sang, "we need to raise our food like the man, we need to save our money like the mob" well stated brother. If you think the government will, wants to, or is even capable of taking care of you when the free money economy plug gets pulled, I feel sorry for you, at this point you are way beyond help.

I have my freezer stocked with organic meat. There is a clean freshwater river nearby that is great for fishing. My gardens and fruit trees are doing great, and between now and next year I'll be adding roughly 6000 square meters of gardens and orchards. Now that is an investment. I work odd jobs for cash, and it mostly comes in faster than it goes out. In two years, inflation in food prices will mean next to nothing to me. Which will keep driving possible, in terms of fuel costs, folks, we ain't seen nothin' yet.

I don't see a difference, do you still see a difference?

ALIVE and WELL

Please, Please, Please.....

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the rebels of the republic do have a leader capable of leading the rebellion against the Neocon Empire. The age of the republocrats is aproaching an end. I hope, really, I mean REALY. Hmm, lets see... Hillary Clinton = War with Iran, any conservative that isn't Ron Paul = War with Iran.... SOOOOO Let's Go Ron Paul, Let's Go! WOO WOO!

Yes he is fully aware that if he even gets close, he will have a target on his head bigger than Saddam had on his. No he is not a lunatic. Yes he has Adamantium balls.

P.S. Ya just gotta gotta watch this video. If you've never seen a honest politician prepare to be blown away.



P.P.S. Notice the conspicuous abscence of 'I can save the universism'.

Ahh yes, the Bushes and the Clintons, clusterfucking humanity one contrived disaster at a time.

I know! How about a fund set up to help the families of people maimed and killed by the international weapons trade headed by The Carlyle Group. Who pappy Bush just happened to sit on the board of. I'm sure both the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is hurting their investment portfolios.

There is no free market. Corporate socialism is no different than the 'peoples socialism'. It always works like this....First we lie. Second we take. Third we legislate against competitors. The public always pays the bills. The middle class is always wiped out. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The rich project their ruthlessnes on the poor and rationalize countless justifications for the police state. The poor project THEIR greed on the rich and demand more and more from the middle class (which they generally consider to be rich). The politicians a.k.a. appointed plantation managers are always happy to suck the middle class dry (i.e. potential competitors) and transfer the wealth to the elites for 30 peices of silver. In Corporate welfare (or what is taught as being capitalism these days) private shareholders reap the bounty. In socialist revolutions (i.e. police states, martial law) after the colapse of corporate welfare (i.e. they've sucked everyone dry) as a natural consequece the 'party of the people' continues the 'business cycle'.

Society is just the farming of people. really. deal with it.

BEE Afraid BEE Very Afraid

I wonder where that bee might be, that bee, that be, that bee. Houston we have another problem. The bees are going missing. No really. No bees. No pollinization. Lots of hunger. That's all, I'm not digging into anything on this one. Check it out for yourself.
