Fear And The Powers That Be

My first waking thought this morning was an interesting one. The powers that be are afraid. They're afraid because, for the first time in centuries, they are losing control. They have been losing it for quite a while now. It has just taken them this long to truly absorb the thought.

How do I know? I know because they have not given the final order for the financial collapse to begin. At various times throughout history they have planned economic implosions which are designed to pile more and more money into their hands while removing it from the hands of the masses. 

Look at the circumstances surrounding the Great Depression. The wealthiest people all of a sudden sold off massive quantities of stocks, This created a panic because other investors figured the ultra rich knew something they didn't know and began selling their stocks as well. Then there was a run on the banks. Businesses collapsed. After the masses were left jobless and penniless, the ultra rich began buying up "worthless" stocks for pennies on the dollar. This is empire building at its finest. 

I look at the world economy today. The derivatives market, which is a ponzi scheme to end all ponzi schemes, should have already collapsed. Derivatives are literally bets that certain assets are going to lose or increase value. Bets! They are not actual, buy-and-sell, tradable assets. The big banks literally have trillions of dollars worth of these bets, and the game is ready to be called. When that happens, pretty much all banks will collapse because theses bets are intricately tied together from one institution to another. All the analysts are saying it is going to happen any day, yet it has not. This situation has continued on for months now.

Why has the system not collapsed? The powers that be know that if they collapse it all now, We the People will rise up and take control. As recently as 2008, the powers that be could have collapsed large portions of it and taken what they wanted from the rubble. We willingly let them bail out the big banks at the time because they convinced us those banks were too big to fail--that everyone's livelihood depended on the big banks staying afloat. In 2016, the masses know enough to not let them get away with it again.

The powers that be continue to nurse their system along. With the help of the mainstream media, which they own, they are able to maintain the illusion that things are okay. It is precarious at best because We the People are angry. That much is obvious by the vast support that has been created for non-mainstream candidates like Sanders and Trump. The powers that be know that, if they continue with their planned implosion, all their power and substance will be lost because the masses will no longer allow them to take everything.

We are on the verge of great change. What will it take to push us over the edge? Once again, change is dependent on us. It is for all of us to wake up and say, "I am not content with the way things are. It is time to take responsibility and take control of what happens in the world." 

The shoe is on the other foot. Because we are aware, we are no longer slaves to fear. We understand we are not dependent on the system. We understand we are creators with infinite potential. 

It is the powers that be who are afraid. Their time to rule is at an end and they fear what that might look like. It is time to step into our own power and BE the change we wish to see in the world.

Debt Forgiveness

There is a very revealing book called "Confessions Of An Economic Hitman," by John Perkins. In it he details how countries are either persuaded or coerced into giving up the rights to their country's resources to very powerful transnational corporations. The vast majority of cases end up in situations where the countries are in extreme debt to various banks. While we have been taught to just accept this state of affairs as the way the world works, it is all a lie. It is a lie designed to trap us all and keep us slaves to a system that benefits only a few very wealthy and powerful people at the top of the food chain.

They do the same thing to individuals that they do to countries--steal all their personal resources. Look at the housing crisis of 2008. Laws were passed that enabled the banks to make loans to vast numbers of people they knew couldn't afford them. It isn't that the people couldn't afford to get a home. They were given homes bigger than what their salaries could realistically afford. While you could say their greed was their own worst enemies, the fact of the matter is they did not understand the math/economics behind the loans. They just knew their friends and coworkers, who were in the same boat, were being given the same loans on similar salaries. Behind the scenes, the bankers not only received huge payments from the interest on all these loans, but they were also able to use the profits to fund their massive ponzi schemes. As the average Joes began to default on their loans, the money the bankers were gambling also became lost. Because banks have money, they persuaded politicians to give them more money to gamble--otherwise known as the "bailouts". What most people fail to recognize is that the banks also gained vast amounts of real estate in the deal--our foreclosed upon houses. (Ironically, they write this acquired property off as losses!!!)

Unless you are intelligent and creative and work outside the usual employment system, you are probably stuck in the rat race that is today's world. You run on the hamster wheel with all your might, but you never seem to go anywhere. It was designed to be that way--all your hard work going to benefit someone else who sits back in some cushy office and makes the rules.

It is time for this to stop, and we are the key! Look at the US national deficit. Our government has borrowed so much money from the Federal Reserve Bank (which is a private institution not truly part of our government and pays dividends to its secret stock holders) that they taxes we pay every year don't go to the budget. Our taxes pay off the interest we owe to the Federal Reserve. Our government is run on money we borrow every year. This is why it never ends. Most of us don't take the time to look at the situation as it is. We just assume it is working the way it is supposed to and never question it.

What if we all stopped and said, "Enough! Our debt is fake and there is no need to pay falsely created debt!" Would our society fall apart? No. We would just be freeing ourselves from our captors.

The concept of debt forgiveness, or jubilee, has been around for a very long time, and we are much overdue. Isn't it time we free ourselves and create something new? Hopefully this time around we will create a world where everyone can live in the freedom and abundance they deserve.

What If We Woke Up Tomorrow And Everything Changed?

What if we woke up tomorrow and all our banks were closed and our money was worthless? How would be get food and the things we need to survive? Would our water and electricity work? Would we still be able to get on the internet and use our cell phones? Would we still go to our jobs? Would we still try to pay our bills?

We have been told our world would erupt into chaos, that without the rules and laws and authorities we follow we would become unthinking animals who fight for existence. It's all about survival of the fittest! Every apocalyptic movie I've seen or book I've read seems to say as much.

Is that true? Would we use our guns to fight for food and water and territory? Or would we find ways for ourselves and our fellow beings to survive?

The fear and chaos scenario has been provided to us by the powers that be so that we will not be tempted to stray from their system. If we believe ending something will not turn out well, we will be unlikely to let it happen. That's why we allowed the bankers to get away with bailouts here in the United States. We were told those businesses were "too big to fail"--that ALL of our jobs and businesses were on the line if these particular businesses went belly up. Lies, lies, and more lies!!! We don't need to bail out these big businesses any more than Europeans need to live under "austerity". (Ironically, the money in both scenarios goes to the same place--the banks!!!)

The time is quickly approaching where we will face a choice: survival or destruction. We can all decide to work together and live together, or we can choose to allow those apocalyptic scenarios play out and fight for survival.

Choosing survival may not be easy at first. The material things we all currently have access to may not be as easy to come by. Here in the US, we may not even be able to obtain things like coffee as we don't directly produce it in this country and will need to negotiate trade deals with other countries to get them.

Understand that our survival will require new ways of thinking!!! Do the bankers still own everything? (My personal thoughts along those lines are that Mother Earth provides her resources freely for those on the planet. Shouldn't everyone be able to benefit from them instead of just a few?) How can we all have what we need? What is the worth of each soul?

We have the ability to work together to survive. Along the way, we may just come to the understandings we need to not only survive but thrive! The choice is ours!!!

Slavery Through Consent

Did you know we are all slaves? We may not live behind prison walls. We may not wear physical chains. Still, we are all slaves of one form or another, and the reason we remain slaves is because we consent to it.

Take our money system here in the United States. We take out loans to pay for cars and homes and educations and other stuff we believe we need. There is always interest attached to these loans. We think nothing of this interest, yet if you take a closer you will see something intriguing. This interest is backed by money that is numbers on a computer screen and is backed by nothing. The banks don't actually have the money. It's created through the computer magic and sleight of hand that is fractional-reserve lending. In a nutshell, banks create more money based on a percentage of the loans they have already given out. We believe the interest we pay the bank is for them allowing us to use money they have acquired through other loans. Not so. The thing that makes this practice so bad is that most of us work ourselves into the grave trying to pay back loans that are based on nothing. Definitely a form of slavery, and we consent to it (without understanding the process).

Let's take a look at the Federal Reserve Bank. We believe this is a government institution. After all, Congress makes a big show of calling the Fed chairman in for questioning about its practices, not to mention "approves" choices for who the chairman actually becomes. Funny thing is, if you try to look up the Federal Reserve Bank in the government pages (blue section) of a phone book it is not there. That's because it is not part of the government. It is a business and will be found in the same part of the phone book as Fed Ex. Our "government" takes out loans from the Federal Reserve Bank to meet its debts. Just so you're aware, this money is just as fake as the money the banks loan us. It has not been backed by gold or any other resource for decades. Banks and governments need more money? No problem! We'll just print a few trillion more to bolster the economy (which deflates the value of the dollar). You might want to take a good look at the Constitution. The treasury department is supposed to be in charge of money creation. How did a bank receive the power to do this?

This stuff really only cracks the surface, but hopefully you understand that we are being duped in a very big way, and it all leads us to follow a system that is does not have our best interests at heart. It is a system that traps us in jobs we do not enjoy to pay interest on money that does not exist to a
"government" institution that has absolutely nothing to do with the government but does make money for its (secret) stockholders.

We are slaves to the system because we consent to practices we believe we understand but really don't. Isn't it time to question those we have given authority over us? Maybe these questions will lead us to the answers we need to solve the great problems we now face as a planet! In such a system, knowledge is key to ending our slavery and gaining our true freedom!!!
