A Treasure Of Our Land...
June 15, 2021
A treasure of our land, America, often taken for granted by its natural born inhabitants is that we don’t have a fixed or permanent class, or caste system which has a lecherous history of unalterably separating the interests of the common citizen from that of an aristocracy or noble class. The Constitution’s ability to create apparent distinction between good government and the interests of private money only exist when viewed through that Jeffersonian lens I so often speak of.
However, what we have seen grow since the adaptation of the Lincolnian American standard is a mixed government in which we are unable to so readily separate corporate monied interests from those of the people. The United States, to exist as its charter demands, must have all three branches of Government, as well as the buttress that is bureaucracy stand, act and remain independent of the interests exercised by powerful outside entities. Congress has ceased to act as an independent body, handing over the power of the purse and its agency to the growing Executive and monied interests we have mentioned. If we are to elect people to represent us at the Federal level to an office designed specifically to control taxpayer money and how it is used, what use are they if they abdicate such power to an executive, and when retaining what power they do, rely on international corporations to guide them? Where do you and I, the common taxpayer, fit in to such a scheme? We don’t!
Having abdicated Constitutionally mandated power, and thus, giving up its most vital function, which had they retained it would have provided a backdrop of security against so much of what we see happening today, let us examine another failing of our Congress as we seek to understand what representation looked like at our founding, and how we see it today. When Congress was established, there were about 30,000 people to every member of the House of Representatives. Madison worked to make sure that as many people as possible were represented while still retaining a governmental structure that wasn’t so big as to become entirely ineffectual. He arrived at his number through great labor and much consideration. We should consider this when examining representation today. As of the 2020 Census we have about 331 million Citizens within the United States1. If we were to have maintained the same level of Representation as our founders intended, we would have some 10,000 members of Congress today. This would be a body so large as to be incapable of function, true. But does our Congress currently function for the interests of the common man? The average winning political campaign for the United States House of Representatives in 2012 had to raise about $1.69million dollars, a little more than $2,300 a day. The Senate races during that time frame that successfully captured a seat raised on average $10.47million dollars, or about $14,000 a day2. We are nearly 10 years removed from these statistics and have seen the federal printing of trillions, the growth of trillion-dollar industry that didn’t exist then as it does now, international corporations and firms that control more wealth than many nations over, and a global pandemic in which every government on the planet consolidated power economically, politically, and socially over its citizens. The average citizen finds no representation in any of this. In the 2018 Congressional Mid-terms alone CEO’s and leaders of the most major international corporations and firms spent many millions to secure candidates within certain districts or States3. Any American with a modicum of common sense understands that Congress is an organization that, as it exists and functions today, has no use for the average citizen and exists solely for monied interests4, consolidation of non-intent powers5, the enrichment of its own members6.
In examining the monied interests wreaking havoc throughout Congress we must today stop to examine BlackRock, the Federal Reserve, and the World Economic Forum for if these institutions are able to work out their aims, we will see the permanent emergence of a fixed class, or caste system within the United States, and worse yet likely then across the globe. This will be a return to feudalism adapted for permanence in our modern world. By now we have all come to know just who BlackRock is and how their actions will affect lower to middle class homeowners over the next ten to twenty years if allowed to continue unfettered.
As a headline, “The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world” is rather sensational. However, when we examine what it may really mean we may be underestimating just how nefarious the actions of the few at the top may be. We know that housing will account for a portion of the $120Trillion shift they expect to execute over the prescribed timeframe. But what else do they expect to do that will fundamentally shape society and shift global wealth into their own hands and how will Congress, the Fed, and the Executive Branch aid them in this endeavor?
The United States Government and its inability to properly manage financial policy, on both a macro and micro level, is setting the population of the United States, and the world for great damage. As we enter an inflation spiral akin to that seen after World War Two, our government continues to relentlessly print and spend money that doesn’t exist and isn’t backed by anything. The Fed balance sheet had nearly doubled during the pandemic, now at $8Trillion and growing7. As Chris Talgo, contributor to The Hill explained, it was rampant money printing and inflation that led to the rise of Nazi Germany as Hitler and the Nazi Party sought to place blame on the monetary systems collapse onto the government and banks hyperinflationary policies because of money printing. We are executing the very same policies within the United States, and currently with such low to non-existent interest rates, no bank would dare to raise interest rates for fear of collapsing the market which is fueled by and built on zero-risk fiat. But once interest rates do go up, and the market does collapse, who will be blamed? Will we see another rise of an authoritarian figure like in Nazi Germany? Unlikely.
What will happen is the emergence of yet another part of The Great Reset through the release and implementation of CBDC’s, or Central Bank Digital Currencies. Inflation, rampant debt, banking mismanagement, both sides of the political aisle, leadership and the very people suffering will all be blamed in one part or another when the next market collapse happens. Those who will have caused it though are already developing remedy to ensure their place of prominence as the world begins to work itself out of the rubble. Central Bank Digital Currencies are an electronic, digital token that can represent the digital form of a fiat currency. This CBDC can represent a national currency like the green back, or, as we may see if the market crash is as large as I suspect, will represent various regions of the United States. There will be a CBDC for the West Coast, one for the Rocky Mountain States, one for the Northeast, one for the Southeast, and one for every unique region needing management, containment, and exploitation by those who issue these currencies. Congress, the Executive and the Fed will all back the creation and implementation of such currencies as a matter of national security, economic recovery, and global leadership. They’ll be poised to stand atop the rubble as the continued leaders of the world, continuing to serve only themselves. What CBDC’s can do that is an effective management strategy of a modern feudalism, is that they can only be traded on centralized exchanges, and as a common citizen you may not be issued an exchange license to trade the currency. You may only be able to receive the digital tokens into your wallet and spend them. This will effectively keep you from leaving the region in which you live. If you can’t trade a West Coast token for a Rocky Mountain Token, you’ll have no money if you leave the region in which your tokens are accepted. This is a nice way to keep you working on the Lords manor without him having to post a guard twenty four hours a day. You’re effectively imprisoned by this. Now, the exchange licenses will be issued to those of means, and they’ll be able to trade currencies back and forth, conduct interregional commerce and partake in the Aristocratic Currency Market. But not you, dear citizen. You will only be able to rent your SFR with the prescribed CBDC, purchase a grocery subscription with the prescribed CBDC, utilize rideshare or vehicle rental through that prescribed CBDC, or anything else for that matter. This will, as is usual in such restricted societies, lead to an underground economy and market where other digital currencies are utilized. However, we do not know to what extent that will be possible and how well those currencies will function as an alternative in such a restrictive environment. When you get picked up by the police don’t get caught with a DeFi Exchange on your phone. And they’ll have to examine your phone because that is where your Vaccine Passport, Drivers License, Medical Record, Bank Accounts and the rest of your personal data will be required to be stored should the need to verify something about yourself arise while you’re in public or under investigation for any suspected criminal activity.
Any government which permits and enacts such abuse of power, will undoubtedly experience the revolutionary tendencies which it so justly deserves, for the history of mankind when pressed leaves with us a political truth whose clarity is unmatched—that no government is permanent. The Magna Carta, The Petition of Rights, The American Constitution, The Bill of Rights —all these Western foundational documents— are sound in their creation. But it is through a usurpation of their intent and natural limits that our government operates under today. At the distant appearance of danger to self-government our founders took up arms to secure for themselves and posterity Liberty and Freedom. We must now arm ourselves with the knowledge that such distant dangers are not on the horizon but all around us, and that through thoughtful political organization we too can secure for ourselves and posterity our very Liberty and Freedom which is now under threat.
