CHRISTOPHER SEAN BATT -
The World Bank creates money out of nothing from the top down.
One version of it through a corrupt financial system collateralized on your back (and future extraction from your children), in the form of debt slavery issued to your government, and another version trickled down to you – photocopied so many times that by the time you pay tax to earn it, pay tax to spend it, and pay interest to get more of it sooner. It has emaciated and diminishing spending power, therefore so do you.
In the so-called ‘first world’, one person used to work a semi-skilled stable job to support four, and buy quality things that lasted for many years. Today, three or four work to merely rent things, pay off credit cards and student loans, and re-purchase tools and clothing that falls apart or becomes obsolete by design.
This is innovative progress and financial wellness, is it?
And they persuade you ‘nostalgia is for geeks’ and that we shouldn’t look back because the future is always better – the graph will always go up and to the right eventually.
So, we are indeed geeks – we notice the prices always going up, without the commensurate value creation or purchasing power of average people rising.
We study the grifters of history so we can catch them repeating it.
Like a bad habit, the slippery slope of currency devaluation and debt spirals is the financial system’s cocaine. The operators, agencies, beneficiaries, and regulators get high on you, but you ultimately suffer the withdrawal symptoms. Namely, that is the evisceration of the middle class and the ruthless crime of inflation being perpetrated on you and lied about every day.
The definition of inflation is too much money hitting the economy, like sugar to a diabetic.
They teach you that it is caused by things becoming more expensive to produce, service, and deliver.
That is a backwards fable.
The dollar is worth less each day because there are too many of them being created, period.
You don’t observe the overflow of money creation because you experience the scarcity caused by the failure of your real incomes to increase as those of asset holders do.
So you believe the big lie about fiscal tightening and loosening and interest rates, as the system pumps the spigot with one hand and clenches your throat with the other.
But the net worths of the top 15 disclosed ‘richest’ people increased by 2 Trillion US Dollars recently – not because they did better at their jobs – but because their asset appreciation was protected from inflation and taxes, unlike your 1000x less income.
Money is not the root of all evil; those who control the beliefs and rules about it are.
Debt and usury (interest on loans) were once considered a sin.
Today it is the most popular business model on which to build a world financial system, from the top funding wars, all the way down to your morning coffee.
And you don’t even blink.
You are the diabetic hopelessly addicted to sugar.
And a good drug addict will gladly commit their children to the same disease, just to get more.
Well, recovery does exist!
There is a way to consume healthy substances that grow brains and muscles, instead of empty calories that just cause a crash after a cheap thrill.
This is the story of productive assets versus compounding debt.
The true treasury is the earth, and it has literally mined real money for over 5,000 years of gold and silver having been the trusted standard definitions for money.
Individuals give themselves permission for special drawing rights (SDRs) on this organic treasury, re-defining how to use it just like the central banks, governments, and big players do.
Even the new world’s economic structure faces planned obsolescence. The recent experiment of collapsing the global fiat currency system since 1971 is ready to usher in a new reset to everything.
Sovereign nations and corporations are stacking hard assets (gold, silver) and digital claims to scarce and controlled resources (including digital ones and energy) as fast as humanly possible without tipping off the retail economy that there is a debt crisis and a mass exodus from dollars and other national currencies.
When national and private debt is monetized (devalued and erased), the biggest debtors get away with it at the expense of those who thought they owned real value. Any value is simply numerically taken.
It has always been difficult for the average person to collect (and never sell) hard assets to build their own family treasury. One desires (and often needs) to use their value in the mean time. But when sold, hard assets lose their ability to protect wealth from the eroding currencies, they trigger capital gains tax events, and their value is spent – instead of continually appreciating capital stockpiles.
Real Estate, mortgages, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), and margin accounts were the traditional routes, using property or shares in companies as collateral, to achieve a balance between equity preservation and the utility of liquid funds.
Expanding portfolio options to build a sound treasury requires executing an ages-old model once again – where precious earth elements are an individual’s word and bond, not debt and credit rating assigned by some agency, against an unstable supply of phony currency that has lost 98% of its purchasing power since the violation of the gold peg in 1971, an act of grand larceny.
But consider having your precious metal cake and eating it too?
This is how it is done – and most importantly on a distributed community and family business level – to sustain a future independent of financial cartels and governments whose economic and fiscal dams are collapsing to cause a great flood.
