Humans – Slaves of Economy

Approximately 100,000 years ago, someone introduced the idea of an object that could be used in order to quantify the exchange of goods. Today we consider that to be “money”, but “money” has become much more than a means of payment for goods or services. Through our history, usage of money has evolved. Banks came into our life to help those who had it and those who didn’t. Soon, a whole branch of science was created in order to explain one of the most simple needs in a man’s life: the need to exchange what he has in redundance to gain what he lacks.

Banks’ function was centuries ago the same as it is now: taking money from the poor, giving it to the rich, meanwhile leaving some to themselves. The means to perform such transfer are the only thing that has changed throughout the years. The ability of banks to deceive people, and in fact make them believe the banks are doing them a favour, is astonishing. In the last decade or two it wasn’t enough to take the money people had, but they started taking money people don’t even have through credit cards, internet banking systems, investment funds, stock markets, forex markets, etc.

The trend where the rich are getting richer, and the poor are losing all they have, is creating a society of slavery all over again. Rich people are getting more and more money, and are getting passed the line where the money stops representing only material value for them. Now, it means power. Meanwhile, the poor are being robbed of their social and human rights. The USA actually have a law “against poverty” whose final consequence is that the poor lose the right to vote.

All this enables a rather small group of elitists to control the rest of the world through deliberate global financial crisis, pandemics, oil price manipulation, destroying every attempt of technological advance that could endanger their position on the market, etc. So we have oil giants that purchase patents for alternate fuel vehicles and destroy them, great inovators being killed, pharmaceutical giants manufacturing viruses and dangerous vaccines, politicians forcing reduced CO2 emissions in order to stop the economical growth of third world countries, international organizations imposing their authorities on countries for a few billion dollars, etc.

The solution? Hard to say. We need money to live because we practically have to pay the air we breathe. We pay the right to work through taxes, we need food, clothing, a roof over our head, health insurance, etc. There are some iniciatives like the Venus project, but we are mentally too far back to accept such changes because the people in position to make such projects possible enjoy the sense of power and control far too much to give it up for the benefit of mankind.
