Money and Power
Money serves as a tool of control, functioning as the “original matrix” to convert people’s lives into energy for those in power.
In societal structures, most people choose to follow the “guy with the gun” over the “guy with gold” or Bitcoin, prioritizing comfort and security provided by established power structures.
Central Banks and Government
The primary function of central banks is to provision for the state, finance it, and perpetuate it, rather than focus on employment and prices.
Governments’ primary goal is to perpetuate themselves, consistently expanding their power and influence over time.
The Financial Stability Act of 2009 paradoxically consolidated power in the hands of “too big to fail” institutions responsible for the financial crisis.
Market Dynamics
A true free market lacks government and laws, but this absence also removes protection from violence and exploitation.
The market price of assets like gold and Bitcoin is determined by collective belief rather than intrinsic value or utility.
Control Systems
The system of control uses money to create an illusion of choice, similar to a farm where livestock produce better when they believe they’re free.
The power to control money is intrinsically linked to the power to control people, often leading to exploitation and manipulation.
Central Bank Mandate
The official central bank mandate includes maintaining long-run growth, promoting maximum employment, and ensuring stable prices, but these are secondary to state provisioning.
