There is no
doubt that the elite have always sought to carefully manufacture news and to control
the beliefs of the masses through their interests in funding education and in
owning media distribution channels for centuries. There is a wealth of
history that chronicles the elite’s desires to control and sway public
opinion by manufacturing news versus the honorable journalism pursuit of
reporting news in a fair and accurate manner. For example, in 1917,
Congressman Oscar Callaway stated, as documented in the Congressional Record:
“In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel,
shipbuilding, and powder interests, and their subsidiary organizations, got
together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select
the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of
them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the United States.
These 12 men worked the problem out by selecting 170 newspapers, and then
began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the
purpose of controlling the general policy of the daily press throughout the
country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of
the greatest newspapers. The 25 papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent
to purchase the policy, national and international, of these papers; an
agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by
the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and
edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism,
financial policies, and other things of national and international nature
considered vital to the interest of the purchasers.”
“This
contract is in existence at the present time, and it accounts for the news
columns of the daily press of the country being filled with all sorts of
preparedness argument and misrepresentations as to the present condition of
the United States Army and Navy and the possibility and probability of the
United States being attacked by foreign foes. This policy also included the
suppression of everything in opposition to the wishes of the interests
served. The effectiveness of this scheme has been conclusively demonstrated
by the character of stuff carried in the daily press throughout the country
since March, 1915. They have resorted to anything necessary to commercialize
public sentiment and sandbag the national congress into making extravagant
and wasteful appropriations for the Army and Navy under the false pretense
that it was necessary. Their stock argument is that it is
‘patriotism’ They are playing on every prejudice and passion of
the American people.”
In the
century that followed, the financial elites worldwide have learned much
through their brainwashing campaigns and have successfully consolidated their
power to manufacture, rather than report, the news through mergers and acquisitions
of multinational media companies. Noam Chomsky & Edward Herman’s
landmark 1988 book Manufacturing Consent chronicled the
continuing consolidation of news control into the hands of just a few people.
Today, at the FreePress
website, one can peruse the handful of companies that dominate US media.
One can further peruse the same controlled media environments worldwide in
many countries at the Wikipedia webpage: “Concentration
of media ownership”.
Today, the
media is making a deliberate push to condition the masses to an extremely
dangerous idea of a cashless society – the end goal that the banking
cartel wishes to impose upon the world in an effort to control and subjugate
anyone that may dare have the guts to oppose any of their multitude of
anti-humanitarian banking activities. Just peruse through some of the below
articles from the past several months that have popped up in major
publications:
“Does
PayTag mean the end of cash in your pocket?” the UK Telegraph
“The
[Spanish] Government Prohibits Payments of Transactions Exceeding 2,500 EUR
in Cash”, Libre Mercado
“Time
to Cash Out: Why Paper Money Hurts the Economy”, Wired Magazine
“How
Cash Keeps Poor People Poor”, Time Magazine
The above
is a mere sampling of dozens of articles with the
same tagline or topic that have been disseminated in the mass media over a
condensed period of just a few months. Below you can find a sampling of
paraphrased key ideas and principles that these articles desire to promote.
The
Prime Minister of Spain, Mariano Rajoy Brey, announced that the Spanish
government now prohibits payment in cash for any transaction involving
business professionals that exceeds EUR 2,500. Cayo Lara, leader of the
United Left party, stated that those who violate the ban will face fines of
25% of the amount of any transaction that exceeds 2,500 EUR that are made in
cash.
Coins and paper
bills are the silent enemy of the poor. Vishnu Sridharan of the New America
Foundation argues that cash-based economies “harm the poor by
heightening the risks they face when carrying money and fueling government
corruption and inefficiency.”
Any form of
money that is not digital is bad for society and bad for the poor. Imagine
literally having your life savings under your mattress or folded into a coffee can, vulnerable to fire, thieves, drunken
relatives or nagging neighbors. Imagine having to ride the bus for hours to
settle a bill, or traveling for days to deliver funds to a relative. Digital
money solves nearly all money problems for the poor.
These
arguments, put forth by banking shill David Wolman, would offend the
sensibilities and intelligence of even 12-year old children like
Victoria Grant. Anyone that has the most rudimentary understanding of our
present monetary system knows that inflation and fractional reserve banking,
not coins and paper bills, are the silent enemy of the poor. Furthermore,
coins would be the biggest friend to the poor if they were made of pure gold
and pure silver. Instead, Wolman attempts to serve up massive servings of
rubbish to the readers of Time and Wired magazines by deflecting attention
away from the root problems of poverty, the fractional reserve banking system
that punishes the poor, the elderly and savers. Wolman pushes a ridiculous
argument that the root causes of poverty are based upon the idea that because
we have money in physical form, that makes it easy for poor people to have
their wealth stolen.
Wolman,
never once, reveals the fact that our unsound, corrupt monetary system
silently steals wealth from the poor in perpetuity through the constant
assessment of the inflation tax upon their savings and that the greatest
warrior against poverty would simply be to institute a sound monetary system.
Furthermore, if Wolman is going to quote someone that says the poor should
never possess money that could be burned in a fire then why should anyone
ever possess anything that could be ravaged by fire? Clearly, Wolman’s
agenda is one of the banking cartel and not to assist the poor as a purely
digital monetary system further devolves our already unsound monetary system
into an exponentially more unsound monetary system.
Wolman
continues his propaganda and lies campaign in Wired Magazine when he states
that no taxpayer should ever want to pay the fees associated with creating
paper money and coins that the public considers to be a “nuisance”.
Coins are a nuisance today because they contain
hardly any metal of value. But mint coins from gold and silver as was
specified in the Coinage Act of 1792 and as specified in the US Constitution
and I’m sure that US citizens would not consider as a
“nuisance” coins that appreciated in value every year against
other useless coins used as money around the world. Also of great irony are
the names of the organizations that are quoted in these articles, like the renaissance-sounding
New America Foundation and the humanitarian-sounding Consultative Group to
Assist the Poor (CGAP). The CGAP’s Mark Picken’s states: “The
cell phone is the best point-of-sale terminal ever.”
I’m not sure with what kind of poor people Mark Picken has been
associating, but when I visited poor villages in Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar,
Mexico, Indonesia, etc., I don’t ever recall observing a high
percentage of cell phone ownership.
A little
digging reveals the true anti-humanitarian agenda of the Consultative Group
to Assist
Destroy the Poor. Unsurprisingly, given the deceit of Picken’s
comments, the CGAP is funded by the ultra-elitist, poverty-creating World
Bank. Ditto goes for the New America Foundation. The NAF’s founders and
board members reads like a Who’s Who list of corporate and financial
elitists from Ivy League Harvard University professors to Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR) members to Google and Bilderberg member Eric Schmidt to
former Washington Post editor Steve Coll. It should come as no surprise that
the information provided within these articles originate from members of
elitist organizations that have always had a hand in manufacturing consent
through their control of media outlets and news.
These
articles, as they were all released within a very condensed time period,
indicate a premeditated effort by the banking elites to pre-condition people
into an eventual Pavlovian acceptance of a cashless society. Just as it is no
coincidence that Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates all chose to
very publicly denigrate gold within days of one another in their failed
effort to help suppress gold prices just a few weeks ago, it is no
coincidence that a handful of major publications all published articles
peddling a strong push and acceptance for the creation of a cashless economy.
Such an argument, if accepted by the masses, is truly dangerous for a number
of reasons.
First, the
coordinated media deluge of articles pushing for a cashless society clearly
delineates, in my opinion, the end game of the banking cartel run by the
Rothschilds, Warburgs, Morgans, Rockefellers et al. –the collapse of
our current fiat currency system. There are those that argue that these
unprincipled men want to uphold our current system but I think that they are
missing multiple signals that they actually want to bring our current
monetary system to a great fiery crash in order to install an even more
repressive monetary system to replace it.
Secondly,
these articles are dangerous because they are also clearly designed to
condition the masses to adopt the erroneous beliefs that gold and silver will
lose their value, for what value could gold and silver possibly have when all
future money is to be represented by digital bytes passed back and forth
among computers? These articles are designed with three purposes in mind in
my estimation. One, to ensure that people that were on the fence about buying
gold and silver will not purchase gold and silver. Two, to goad those that
hold gold and silver now to make a bad decision and sell their physical
stores of gold and silver for fear of a gold and
silver “crash”. And three, to eventually seize more control over
the people as 100% digital money makes it very easy for the banking elite, as
described by the Morgans in 1915, to suppress “everything in
opposition to [their] wishes.” If we ever were to gravitate
to an all digital money society, and were the masses to believe Time
Magazine’s propaganda that “coins”, and not fractional
reserve banking-induced inflation, is the “silent enemy of the poor”,
then once a dissenting voice grows too strong and too loud, the banking
cartel merely needs to zero out the digital bytes in that opposing
voice’s bank account to effectively forever silence dissent.
Or consider
other scenarios in which a 100% digital monetary
system makes it incredibly easy to silence dissent. What if you believe in
solar-activity based global warming but believe that the carbon-based global
warming theory is a banker manufactured fraud to increase taxes on the people
and you refuse to pay some bogus government legislated carbon tax because you
sincerely believe it to be unjust? If we live in a 100% digital money world,
civil disobedience and refusal to pay what you feel to be an unjust tax may
become impossible as the banking cartel can merely digitally siphon off your
funds without protest being possible. Banking cartel theft of citizens’
wealth (in addition to the already existing theft through inflation and
various other taxes) obviously is more difficult under our present cash and
coin system than it would be under a purely digital system. Consider the
repercussions of bankers that try to impose an unjust new tax under a
physical gold or physical silver monetary system. In order to enforce payment
upon resistors, the banking/government cartel would have to send armed men
into a resistor’s house to extract that money, with the risk that this
resistor may react violently to these home invasions. This is a scenario that
the elite banking families want to avoid at all costs, and thus the reason
for their strong push to gain widespread acceptance of a purely digital
monetary system.
In the
meantime as Central Bankers push for mass acceptance of their digital
monetary system through their media propaganda blitz, Central Banks continue
to buy massive amounts of gold, even though they still employ their shills to
tell you that gold is not money, affecting a remarkable about-face in policy
from just a few years ago when they were consistently net sellers every year
of 500 tonnes of gold or more. Today, Central Banks have to transformed from
massive net sellers of gold into massive net buyers of gold. At a minimum,
this turnaround from net selling to net buying in just the past several years
is 1000+ tonnes but could possibly be in the multiples of this figure as
“official” figures of gold purchases are always significantly
understated due to Central Banks’ delays in reporting gold purchases or
avoidance of reporting purchases at all. For example, China has not officially
reported any increase in their official gold reserves since 2009 although
their imports of physical gold through the port of Hong Kong has recently
been skyrocketing. Could it be a mere coincidence that Central Banks are so
concerned with buying as much physical gold as possible right now at a time
when their owners are engaging on a massive propaganda campaign in pushing an
agenda of a 100% digital monetary source? I think not.
Furthermore,
the Central Bank race to the bottom in their fiat currency devaluation war
and their devolution into a permanent Zero Interest Rate Policy continues to
chug along. Just this past week, the Reserve Bank of Australia cut its key
interest rate by 25 bp. When is the last time you heard a Central Bank in any
major global economy help protect the purchasing power of people’s
savings and in particular, help the elderly in their country that depend upon
the preservation of the purchasing power of their savings, by raising
interest rates? Thus despite the global stock market’s surge in the
past couple of days that is largely attributable to the leaked news from the
WSJ’s Jon Hilsenrath that QEIII is back on the table, I’m not as
positive as everyone else seems to be that the Feds will make such an
announcement at their next meeting this upcoming June 19th and 20th. Why my
uncertainty in a sea of certainty? For one, the Feds have a reputation for
deviously building expectations in the public eye and then doing the exact
opposite of what the public expects to gain the maximum desired effect in
their manipulations. As I’ve stated dozens of times in the past, I
believe that the end game of the Central Banking cartel is to usher in
another manufactured crisis that utterly destroys the US dollar and the Euro
so that they can implement measures, perhaps a pure digital money society,
that allows them to consolidate their power over the people to an even
greater degree. Of course, creating and introducing trillions of additional
dollars into the monetary base will effectively destroy the dollar over time,
as it reinforces their current “extend and pretend” strategy.
However,
should the Rothschilds, Warburgs, Rockefellers, Morgans et al decide that
they want to expedite the destruction of people’s wealth in a more
efficient and rapid manner, they could withhold the creation of the trillions
of more dollars that would be necessary to uphold the financial derivatives
market afloat, and instead, in withholding this money, cause the derivatives
market to implode, thus triggering the blowback of bank failures across
Europe and the US. And voila! The Central Bankers would accomplish their
mission of destroying the people’s wealth in a much more timely manner
than continuation of their extend and pretend policy. Thus, this is the great
irony of our current situation. The criminals that run the Great Ponzi
Embezzlement Scheme that is our global monetary system can deliberately
destroy people’s wealth (that have no physical gold and physical silver
and that store their wealth in fiat paper currency) through a number of
options, and only they know what option they will choose. Thus, in the end,
though global markets are reacting now as if QEIII is a done deal already, I
would proffer up a guess, that at best, it’s only about a 50/50 shot
that this will happen. If gold and silver continue to rise into the June 19th
and 20th Federal Reserve meeting then the chances of inaction and the
probability against another massive round of fiat money creation rise
considerably above 50/50.
In any event,
does a 100% digital money society benefit any citizen in any of the 193
countries in the world? In one word, no. Thus, we must do everything in our
power to ensure that this global banking elite agenda is not fulfilled. I
know that many people feel that the fight against the immoral banking cartel
is futile, but I assure you that this is not the case. Recently, I conducted a simple poll at the SmartKnowledgeU Facebook page
to try to assess what percent of the population understands that our current
monetary system is inherently fraudulent and immoral. Of 649 people that read
the post, 53, or 8.2%, stated that they understood this fact. Though some
people that responded to the poll stated their frustration that the
percentage was not much higher, when I conducted a similar poll 5 years ago,
this percentage was much lower, at less than 4%. So the percentage of people
that are awakening to the truths of our monetary system has doubled in just
five years and I believe, continues to grow every day. Thus, unlike
politicians that always preach but never deliver hope, we do have reason for
real tangible hope to win the war against the banksters. Furthermore, one
anthropology study determined that the trigger point for knowledge to go
viral in a community is only 8% so we possibly may
be right on the verge of monetary truths about our corrupt banking system
going viral around the world. And when this happens, our war to establish a
sound monetary system becomes infinitely more winnable.
One of the most effective tools of countering the elite banking
cartel’s agenda is simply to buy more physical gold and physical silver
and/or to convert a comfortable percentage of your paper fiat savings into
physical gold and physical silver. I’ll explain exactly why such a
simple maneuver will continue to protect you from the possibly devastating
consequences of the global monetary end game in future writings. In the
meantime, please don’t be fooled by the current banking cartel
propaganda campaign that they want to offer us a purely digital monetary
system for our “convenience” or to help solve
“poverty”. Such an agenda to get rid of all other forms of money
other than digital money is 100% about the banking elite’s desire to
attain absolute control over us and nothing more. If we allow such an
atrocity to become reality, we can effectively kiss what little economic
freedoms we still retain goodbye. Thus we have no choice but to keep faith
that we will win this battle.
