The Central Banking Warfare Model
Some remarks on the current financial / political situation.
I’m going to make a relatively simple statement, and you can take it for what it is:
Our corporate world is run amok! Fractional reserve banking (or more properly, the Central Banking Warfare model) has all but destroyed any opportunity for human freedom and self determination. We are nothing but slave wage earners to a few billionaires in the world.
The two main mechanisms though which this occurs:
1) Indoctrination and manipulation through education and media. Our media produces pretty much nothing but target audiences for corporations, and dissatisfaction and apathy in the individuals who consume their products.
Our academic system is designed to create consumers who are to simply consume and produce (well, not produce so much anymore) in an accelerating system that requires constant growth. Long gone is the idea of the academy, and producing responsible citizens. Instead is a system designed to produce employees. And if you don’t follow that route, after 4 years you end up with $40k in debt and almost no hope of finding real work (except perhaps for working for the government).
2) The control and expansion of government, who primary function (in actuality) is to clear the way for corporate profits (funneling taxes to private interests) and making sure the people don’t get too uppity about it. How could one EVER expect the political system to remain free of the influence of money? It’s almost pathological to think so…
So while the ‘useful idiots’ believe that more legislation and expansion of government will create a more just society, instead we’re just creating the structure of control which is owned, either literally or figuratively, by the corporate interests.
In the intellectual circles of university (and by extension, the liberal left), the media is talked about ad nauseaum, blaming Corporate America. However, the university system would never examine itself as a problem. And an academic, outside of an economics department, actually know something about how banking and money works, ha! Our entire education system is shockingly silent on educating our citizens on the realities of money and the markets.
I can hear Mr. Garrison: “Money’s bad…banks are bad…” And that’s the extent of financial education in the academic realm. Liberals, of course, see money as something dirty and evil, not to be thought too much about. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil; willfully and happily ignorant.
This is not rocket science. After years of being spoon-fed liberalism in University (can’t imagine being conservative there…you’d be lynched), I decided to listen to the OTHER GUY –something nobody seems to ever want to do. When you can see both sides of the coin, you can see the core problems. Nobody expects anyone to go from radical liberal to radical conservative, and to truly ‘take in’ these supposed opposing views. Education won’t have someone who wants a wider view of things. Instead, you’re focused to specialize and know more and more about less and less. Feynman said it perfectly:
