There is something beautiful about this video, as rank as it is. Seeing the Grey Haired Brigade ride again is satisfying.
America is coming apart at the seams. Even the retired geriatrics of South Florida can feel it. The old standard rallying cry ‘hate’ is being used as the motive. But something deeper is going on. The economic disaster looms. People feel it but can’t yet enunciate it. They don’t know they have been living an economic lie but they do know they’re mad about something. Hate is an easy to use scapegoat, one of the basest of human emotions. But it is not the cause of the protest.
What is the cause? The economic destruction of the American people. The Federal Reserve has been destroying America by debasing and fraudulently creating currency for 100 years. These trends take time to play out, but the effects are now well underway. The American way of life is changing fast. Be prepared.
Levels of Violence and The Cost Benefit Analysis from the Federal Reserve
Levels of Violence in a Society
- peaceful protests, similar to a parade
- protests with looting, glass breaking, a few fires
- general lawlessness, mass of protesters angry. Burning whole blocks down
- widespread organized resistance and violence against authorities. Roving gangs. Skirmishes
- battles between two similarly matched forces
- Open war, WWI/WW2 style warfare – carpet bombing, poison gas, entire armies warring
- Hiroshima/Nagasaki
- Mutally Assured Destruction
Current violence levels of recent protests have ranged between a 1 and 2. I’m surprised at how mannered the protests are. The protesters have had their entire society and their own economic lives essentially destroyed by the Fed fiat ‘money’ economic system and they break some windows and loot a few stores.
Cost Benefit Analysis from the Point of View of the Federal Reserve
The Fed has been able to funnel trillions of dollars into the hands of insiders and cronies. The cost has been a few broken windows. I would imagine the Fed thinks this is a fantastic return on their money and are happy with the progress. They amass wealth and the only downside is a few burnt buildings that they don’t own.
Based on Fraud
Let’s say you and your friends were going to all become billionaires. To do this, all you had to do was type the new balances into your bank accounts. The only negative for you is that a few people, in states far away, marched in the streets and caused general disorder for a few days. One might think that this example is ridiculous, and it is. Creating ‘money’ by typing it into a computer is a fraud, but this is the root of the American economic system.
What to do
Many of the pearl-clutchers want the government to do anything and everything to put down the violent uprising. What the pearl-clutchers don’t understand is that many of these protester’s economic lives has been destroyed and when a people’s economic life has been destroyed by government policies there is no ‘crushing the revolt’. The revolt will always continue in some form until the economic destruction of their lives has ended. Until the fraud of a man being able to type his bank account balance into existence is ended, the protests will get gradually worse.
Though I am not for political revolution, I am for allowing people to be free from oppression. This American oppression comes from the fiat money system, which has been an abysmal failure, and has always been a barbaric flaw of any society that implements it. In order to ‘crush the revolt’ the fake fiat money system must be done away with completely.
The Key to Building Wealth: Make Money then Invest It
This article from accountant Brandon Hall goes into detail about the wealth building process. Through his job as a CPA he has been able to “peer into the lives of financially successful men and women. In doing so, I’ve noticed trends in habits that these people possess and I wanted to share that with the world.”
He found that his wealthiest clients made their wealth in one of 3 ways:
Monetary Crankism as National Policy
I watched recently a speech given by Murray Rothbard at a conference back in the 80’s (I don’t know if the video has been pulled from Youtube, but I cannot find it). He opened the talk by saying that a couple times a year he receives a mailing from someone, usually in a large envelope. Inside would be a paper 400+ pages long written in red crayon. Rothbard said if he scanned through the writing he would find that the solution proposed by the author usually boiled down to giving everyone more money, copious amounts of money. Rothbard says that in the old days these people would be called “monetary cranks”.
I find it humorous that what was once considered extreme monetary crankism, is now the stated policy of the federal government.
