The psychological warfare behind economic collapse, Brandon
Smith
The concept of using the economy as a
weapon is not an alien one to most people. Generally, they understand the
nature of feudalism and how various groups can be herded onto centralized
plantations to be exploited for their labor. Some people see this as a
consequence of “capitalism,” others see it as an extension of
socialism/communism.
Sadly, many people wrongly assume that one
is a solution to the other, meaning they think that crony capitalism is a
solution to communist centralization or that communism is a solution to the
corruption of crony capitalism. The reality is that this is just another false
paradigm.
What is most disturbing is that the
majority of the public have no grasp whatsoever of the true solution to the
problem of corrupt or totalitarian economies: free markets.
Free markets have not existed within the
global economy on a large scale for at least the past 100 years. The rise of
central banking has eroded all vestiges of freedom in production of trade.
Crony capitalism with its focus on
corporate power and monopoly has nothing to do with free markets, despite the
arguments of rather naive socialists who blame “free markets” for the problems
of the world. If you ever hear anyone making this claim, I suggest you remind
that that corporations and their advantages are a creation of governments.
The protections of corporate personhood,
limited liability, unfair taxation of small business competition and
legislation shielding corporations from civil lawsuits are all generated by government.
Therefore, corporations and crony capitalism are much more a product of
socialist systems, not free markets.
In a true free market devoid of
government interference and favoritism, corporations could not exist and would
be obliterated over time by the competitive environment. And without limited
liability, business moguls that violate the rule of law and harm others would
be subject to personal prosecution and jail time instead of simply paying a
fine. The cost/benefit ratio for corrupt business would disappear and thus
corrupt businesses would flounder.
At the very core of the combination of
corporate power and government protection (what some might say is the classical
definition of fascism), rest the central banks, globalist institutions and the
banking elites behind them.
Central banks are the stewards of the
various plantations (nations) and oversee the exploitation of these societies
and their labor. Major globalist constructs like the IMF or the Bank for
International Settlements are the policy makers for the national central banks.
They hand down the strategy, and the central banks implement that strategy in
concert. At the top of the pyramid sit the round table groups and the
international bankers themselves, reaping the rewards of the cycle of theft.
As noted scholar, globalist insider and
mentor to Bill Clinton, Carroll Quigley wrote in his book Tragedy And Hope: “The powers of financial capitalism had
another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of
financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of
each country and the economy of the world as a whole.
This system was to be controlled in a
feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by
secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The
apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel,
Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks
which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank … sought to
dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate
foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country,
and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the
business world.”
This is an easy notion to understand, I
think. That is to say, the idea of oligarchs, the 1 percent if you will,
controlling the other 99 percent through economic leverage is something that
most people can agree exists, whether they identify with the political Right or
the political Left. They may only have a vague notion of the facts behind this
conspiracy, but they have seen it in action in their daily lives and they know
it is real. Here is where most of them start to lose sight of the real
situation, though…
A lot of people see the conspiracy as
merely a product of profit motive. That is to say, they don’t see it as a
conscious and organized effort so much as unconsciously motivated greed. This
reminds me of the most famous line from the movie The Usual Suspects: “The greatest trick the devil ever
pulled was to convince the world he didn’t exist.”
All the evidence overwhelmingly assures
us that the conspiracy is fully conscious, organized and deliberate. It is not
an ugly or random byproduct of “profit motive.” This is absurd when you
consider the amount of coordination that is required or the number of think
tanks and secretive conferences that occur yearly, from the Council on Foreign
Relations, to Tavistock, to the Trilateral Commission, to the Brookings
Institute, to Davos, to Bilderberg and to even weirder circles like Bohemian
Grove. These are very real centers of power that can have far reaching
influence in our daily lives.
To ignore this and reduce it all down to
a “natural” extension of greed is to stupidly rest one’s soft spongy head in
the jaws of organized evil while pretending you can’t smell the stench of its
gingivitis.
The control mechanisms of the globalists
are far more complex though than simply dominating the flow of money or the
accumulation of debt. Many liberty activists that have accepted the reality of
institutionalized control of the economy still refuse to acknowledge another
very real control mechanism — the use of economic collapse. I’m not sure why
this idea is taken as farfetched by people who are already versed in the facts
behind globalism. Their biases just won’t allow them to look at the environment
objectively and see the usefulness of collapse as a tactic to gain more
leverage and influence.
I believe the key to understanding
economics and the world at large is to embrace the truth that almost everything
that is done in the world of politics and finance is done to manipulate public
psychology toward certain ends. What ends?
To be more specific, the masses are
constantly being pressured into more dependency, more fear, less
self-sufficiency and less awareness of the bigger picture. We are encouraged to
box with our own shadows, to produce for the system but not for ourselves, to
struggle for minimal gains spent haphazardly on meaningless objectives, to
fight with each other for scraps while remaining blind to the enormous
parasites attached to our backs, to affiliate with pointless causes led by
puppet politicians and controlled opposition, to never build anything
ourselves, always waiting for some hero on a white horse to come and save us.
Economics as the globalists implement it
is not about profit. It is sometimes about milking the population for labor or
hard assets, but this is a side benefit. What economics is really about is
molding minds; it is about changing the psychology of millions of people. It is
about erasing inborn conscience and moral compass. It is about destroying long
held societal principles and heritage. And sometimes, it is about erasing
history altogether, killing most of a generation, and then writing a new
history that is more suitable to the globalist ideal, which is much easier when
there are so few people who remember the truth left to argue about it.
Globalists exhibit most, if not all, the
traits of narcissistic sociopaths, who sometimes organize into cooperative
groups as long as there is a promise of mutual gain and a structure of top down
dominance. Narcissistic sociopaths are notorious for using crisis as a means to
keep the people around them off balance and serving their interests. Their
ultimate goal is rarely profit. Instead, they seek power; power over every
aspect of every life of every person around them.
A modicum of power is not enough. They
want total control, and they will use any means to get it, including
engineering threats and disasters to elicit compliance or to paint themselves
as a necessary hero or “protector.”
A sociopath is not content to control
people through fear or violence alone. They want their victims to love them; to
view them as saviors instead of tyrants.
To reiterate, the goal of economic
subversion is to break down the human mind and change it into something else;
something less human or, at the very least, something less rebellious. One can
only control people through debt and false rewards for so long before they
start to recoil and revolt. Economic collapse, on the other hand, can change
people fundamentally through persistent terror and through tragedy. Through
trauma, the globalists hope to make men into monsters or robots.
The current system was never built to
last. Our economy is designed to fail, yet few people seem to question why that
is. They tell themselves that this is because greed has led the money elite to
self-sabotage, but this is a fantasy. It is not just that the system is
designed to fail, but that it is designed to fail according to an organized
timetable.
The globalist magazine The Economist announced in 1988 the coming of a one-world currency
system, one that would be launched in 2018 and that would require the decline
of the U.S. economy and the dollar to open the door to the reset. It is no
coincidence that we are now witnessing the beginning of a major financial crash
in the last quarter of 2018. This crash was engineered starting in 2008 by
central banks first through the inflation of a historic bubble encompassing
almost all asset classes using stimulus measures and near zero interest rates,
and it is being imploded today by the same central banks using tightening
measures into economic weakness.
It is also no coincidence that the
globalists have announced in 2018 that their intention is to adapt to a digital
monetary system using block-chain technology and cryptocurrency. That is to
say, the one world currency system predicted in The Economist is
already here. They are
only waiting for a crisis large enough to pressure society to accept total
global centralization as a solution.
Forcing the public to embrace worldwide
centralization would require several measures. First, the current system, which
as stated is designed to fail, would have to be allowed to crash. Second, the
crash would have to be blamed on someone other than the globalists and their
ideology of globalism. Third, philosophical opponents of globalism (i.e.,
conservatives, nationalists and decentralization activists) would have to be
demonized or eliminated so that the globalists can build their new world order
without opposition. Fourth, the population would need to be sufficiently
traumatized to the point of psychological submission and desperation, so that
when the new system is introduced, they will be grateful for it, thus
preventing future rebellion by making the public a willing cooperator in their
own enslavement.
The success of such a plan is not
guaranteed. In fact, I believe the globalists will ultimately fail in their
endeavor as I have outlined in past articles. This does not mean though that
they aren’t going to try. Liberty activists must accept the fact that the plan
of the globalists involves the deliberate destruction of our current economy.
Those who refuse will find themselves bewildered by the outcome of future
financial developments, instead of prepared. They will find themselves easily
subdued, instead of ready to rebel. And they will wonder after it’s all over
why they didn’t see it
coming when the end
game was so obvious.
