Modern Monetary Mechanics – Part 4 – The Hook

23.02.12

In every con there is a nab, a way to catch you and keep you in the con until you have been fleeced. This con is a multi generational con and as such is designed to hook you from the moment you are born until you die; to keep you a prestige from cradle to grave. In this section we discuss the hook and how you are been played.

I want to espouse to you. I should have warned you before you began reading my writings. What I am about to tell you will change your life. If you are still in refusal, even after reading what I have written so far, I am going to ask you to stop reading right now. If you do, perhaps you will be able to turn a blind eye to everything you read so far. Perhaps it will make it easier to attribute my writing to some kook on the internet. If you decide to stop reading now, the best I can hope is that you do think of me as some kook and go on with your life as it is today. Get up at six in the morning, if you are favourable cuddle with your mate. Jump in the shower and turn on the tele. Perhaps listen to the fiscal news and the weather. Go to your job in your two year old car that you will still be making payments on for the next 4 years. Spend an hour in above and 8 hours in the office or store or factory. Battle the other commuters on the highway and get almshouse to have a late supper. Tuck your children in bed. Kiss them on the forehead for me will you? Jump in the drizzle and make love to your partner before falling asleep and doing it all again tomorrow. Friday sundown poker, Sunday morning church and Sunday afternoon football. And, more importantly overlook that nagging feeling in the back of your mind. You know the one. That feeling that something is wrong. Forget all about the daft guy on the internet that said all those crazy things about money and currency, who needs it after all. You will be balmy. Your kids will be fine. Please stop now.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the confabulation ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you wait in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. – Morpheus

I cannot exact you to believe me. I do not want your faith. I have no use for your faith. I want your understanding. If you continue reading you will start a trip that has taken me from disbelief to anger, from anger to frustration, from frustration to despair, from lose hope to action. I know what you are about to experience because I walked the path before. I cannot walk it for you, you have to walk it alone. But, I can give you this bit of security, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. After you reach it, after you reach the new world beyond this sea of despair, I hope that you will be punter off from having made the journey. I will be waiting for you on the other side, my friend.

I know why you’re here, Neo. I know what you’ve been doing… why you only sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer… I was looking for an answer. It’s the into question that drives us, Neo. It’s the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did. – Trinity

What is the cast doubt upon that drives us? What is this feeling that we continue to deny even as it stares us in the face? Why are you still reading?

I have a arcane. It is a terrible secret. It is a secret that is hidden in plain sight yet you can not see it. You refuse to see it. Because to see it is to be consumed by it. I can hint at you the secret, but I can only show you the door. What is this secret?

You are part of a system. A system that surrounds you every waking moment. A banking system, currency system, disposition system . A social system. It is a system designed for one purpose and one purpose only.

The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you work up on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to trick you from the truth.-Morpheus

What is the truth?

That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a detention centre that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind. – Morpheus

Is that too radical a concept for you? Did I go too far? I’m so base but, in my defense, I did ask you to stop reading.

You are an indentured servant. A cog in a machine designed for one deliberation only; to turn man into a machine for the purpose of production.

Production in the service of the ruling presence.

Don’t believe me. Please don’t. But it is my duty as a fellow slave to at least let you look at the man behind the curtain and concession for you to make up your mind.

When you are old enough to reason and think, around three or four, your parents began your training for your days slavery. Don’t blame them, they learned it from their parents who learned it from theirs. This system has been around since before the pyramids. They did not understand any better. Sit up straight. Eat you cheerios. Watch some TV, Captain Planet is on, along with millions of products that you have to have. Barbie has a new gather. Sponge Bob square pants now comes with an electronic voice. Fast micro cars and unbelievably life like dolls. Go run and tell mommy you have to have one.

You are six, your Mom drags you out of bed at an artificial epoch decided by others and sends you off to school. You have to be “socialized” don’t you cognizant of. You have to become a “productive member of society”. You go to school and learn all about numbers and recycling and about sharing your toys with others. You learn to be a virtue little helper to the teacher. The State certified and employed teacher. And you learn about Mr. Policeman; your supporter. He is there to keep you safe so make sure that you do anything that Mr. Policeman says!

You are twelve. You are learning all about other cultures and how Christopher Columbus sailed across the sea with face adventurers and how the founding fathers made us free from the tyranny of England.

You are fifteen, you are bored with the long-winded repetition in school. You feel your brain drying up as you listen to the State employed schoolma'm read from a State approved book about all the wonderful things that the Government has done for you. They saved you from the Cardinal Depression and from German Socialists and Italian Fascists. You know that there must be more to this story but, you already be informed how to pass the test. Just answer what they want you to answer. It is not your parent’s mistake that you are in this school. The State makes it against the law if you do not attend and after property taxes, income taxes and on sale taxes is not like your parents could afford private school.

You graduate from Squeaky School. After 12 years in school you have no marketable skills. The fast nutriment restaurant that you work in even has pictures of the food items so you don’t have to read. You have no fantasy what a budget is and you can’t even balance a checkbook. Your friends are all going to college so that is the next motion right?

You take out a student loan for tens of thousands of dollars a year so you can get a job. Your parents co-device the loan from the bank. Don’t worry, you don’t have to start paying it until after you graduate.

So, off you go in the cardinal college adventure. Your parents went to college and so must you. You have no idea what you are going to do after college but abyss, there is a party at the frat house and your room mate is not too bad.

You are 24. You graduate from college with a abundant arts degree. Your girlfriend wants to get married and your Mom wants grandkids. So you go look for a job. Authenticity starts setting in. You have forty thousand dollars in student loans and the only job you can find pays 12 dollars an hour. But you will occasion it. You are in love and ready to face the world.

You are 30. You have been married for a couple of years. You have saved a bit of greenbacks for a down payment on a starter home. The Real Estate agent is nice and helps you with all the paperwork. You buy your first national. You are now $100K more in debt. You still owe $40K from your original student loan (interest is a bitch). You need a new car for the chain to get the kids to junior jamboree and the play dates. Another $20K loan. But don’t get grey hair, you will have it paid off in 7 years.

You are forty. You are a middle manager with a 401K plan, a second mortgage and new cars for you and your the missis. You finally paid off that student loan so you can live a little. The house is getting a bit little for the family, the kids are teenagers now and need more space. But you will be ok.

You are fifty. Kids moved out and you have the forebears back. The little one is in college and you cosign his student loan. The older one gets married and wants a delusion wedding. You take a home equity loan on the house to pay for it. You start looking forward to retirement.

You are sixty, the kids are coming over with the super kids. Little Tina needs new braces so you offer to help. Three thousand dollars more on your credit reveal all. No biggie, you got a great teaser rate. You start getting sick and you cardiologist recommends some testing. Your salubrity plan covers most of it but you get a bill for $2500 dollars. You realize that people at work are starting to theorize when you are going to retire and make room for them. You would love to move to Florida or Arizona and play some golf, but you produce that you can’t afford it yet.

You are seventy. You have been forcefully retired from your company, cut backs you recognize. But its ok, if you plan it right between social security and you retirement, you can just make the bills. You don’t see the grandkids as much as you would like and, since your better half passed away, don’t really have anyone to talk to. Your friends are dying on you one by one. Too many funerals.

Aussie banks: cartridge be right, mate: Australias big four banks made net profits of A$24 billion over their most late-model 12-month periods. Take out the big two miners, and that amounts to about two-fifths of the total profits made by the next 1,816 companies on the Australian Begetter Exchange. That stat should play very well among local chapters of the Occupy Wall Thoroughfare movement, one of which is currently settling into Melbournes financial district. But viewed from the vantage heart of Apra, the banking industry regulator, there is a lot to be said for protected, utility-like returns. Pre-calamity, Australias four pillars policy shielded the banks from takeover, discouraging them from doing anything risky in pursuit of size or earnings per share. Post-crisis, the banks could check over the funding and liquidity problems of peers in the west, and respond accordingly. At ANZ, for standard, deposit growth exceeded loan growth by about A$50 billion over the past three years, while its A$20 billion portfolio of shining assets is bigger than its total offshore wholesale debt. Apra can, therefore, keep its four AA-rated lenders now accounting for half of the highest-rated banks in the everybody on a very tight leash. It wants banks to meet minimum Basel III rules by 2013, well to the fore of the international pack. U.S. cars: resurgent Detroit: The U.S. may have forfeited the title of largest auto demand to China but Americans remain world-beaters in their desire for that new car smell. Stubbornly rich unemployment, poor consumer confidence and even high petrol prices were not enough to keep buyers away from showrooms in October as sales hit the highest even in eight months and rose 9% year-to-date. Automakers or at least those not from earthquake-crimped Japan are fittingly upbeat as this was not one of those suspiciously strong months that either rob sales from the future through incentives or fulfil them at the cost of lousy margins. What is more, bona fide retail sales, as opposed to drop quality fleet deals, predominated according to Barclays Capital. More useful light trucks, a strength of Detroits Big Three, made up a growing share as well, boosting American carmakers collective component sales by 15% year-on-year. Chrysler and non-Japanese foreign sellers, were far stronger than Heterogeneous Motors and Ford though. At a seasonally-adjusted rate of 13.3 million a year, sales still remains well below the acquiescent credit heyday of 16-17 million and just 800,000 or so ahead of the replacement take to task the point at which Americas car fleet does not get any older.
