Corbett Report Radio 195 – Central Planning Sucks [audio/video]

Originally aired on August 11, 2012
There is a school of thought which believes that our society would be better off if its decision-making processes were centralized in the hands of an elite few technocrats (or, better yet, computers). In their view, we will be better off when questions over resource allocation, production and investment are answered by recourse to data and equations, without regard to the fundamental market institution: money. Today on the program, James explores not just why this idea is fundamentally wrong, but why it is fundamentally dangerous.

What Will Collapse First, Bitcoin or the Dollar?

Don’t Tread On Me
I have been inundated with all of this talk about Bitcoin. I first stumbled upon it a few months ago and made a snap judgement that is smells like BS and looked no further into it. Now that I have been asked by multiple sources to either endorse it or ask my opinion on it, I looked into it further. What I found makes me believe this is another Elite concoction designed to fool people.
When Wikileaks first came on the scene, I immediately fell for it hook, line and sinker. In theory it sounded awesome. Secretive hackers created a site that allow secrets to be revealed while keeping the whistle blower’s identity safe. It had a multilayer protection that would prevent it from being shut down. It even had a cool James Bond character in Julian Assange, that made the story so intriguing. The longer the story played out, the more I became concerned that this was an elaborate scam. (Read: Beware of Patriot Pied Pipers) After a while, my suspicions we confirmed. (Read: Wikileaks: CoIntelPro PsyOp) Now that I look into Bitcoin, the same suspicions arise again. It has all of the elements of a great freedom idea. It has decentralization, open source, peer to peer, privacy, and debt free money. The more I look into it, the more it reeks like a high level scam. In this hour long YouTube video there is an interview with two leaders of Bitcoin, Gavin Andresen and Amir Taaki.
The idea of Bitcoin is it that is a currency that can be traded peer to peer without any outside (government) interference. These digital coins are traded and stored on your computer. Bticoins started in 2009 when people “mined” these Bitcoins on their computer by downloading this software and allowing your computer to run for days on an algorithm to “create” these Bitcoins. This program is designed to make the coins rare and therefore have some value. There will only be 21 million Bitcoins in existence ever, right now there are 6 million coins mined. The more coins that are in existence the harder it will be to “mine” these coins.
The only thing that gives these Bitcoins value is perception. If people are willing to work for Bitcoins and they think that they are rare, they will have some value. The more that it is accepted and the more that people are aware of it, the more they will be worth. Gavin Andersen makes the case that Bitcoins are sort of like gold because they rare and therefore has some value. Bitcoin serves the three main functions of money, a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value. To be honest, anything can serve as money, so this is not that big of a deal. The real factor is if this money has any intrinsic value. I constantly rail against the dollar as becoming worthless, but the dollar is worth much more than Bitcoin will ever be. The dollar has the power of the government behind it and is accepted worldwide. The problem for the dollar is that it is reaching its climax and there are way too many excesses that will collapse the system.
In order for you to “mine” these Bitcoins you need to download this software that has to run the computer full blast for 5 to 10 years to generate any Bitcoins. It will actually use more electricity than the actual coins are worth, besides slowing down your computer. The added joy of this program, is that the more people that are trying to “mine” Bitcoins, the harder it is to “mine” them. Right off the bat, the average owner of a laptop or home PC will NEVER “mine” any Bitcoins. I believe that this was done more as a psych experiment. The average person thinks that these coins have value because they cannot make them easily or fooling them into thinking that the playing field is level.
If it is sooooo difficult for these coins to be mined, then how is there already 6 million in existence in less than a few months? I am assuming that those that started this scheme generated coins relatively easily at the beginning or had these incredibly powerful computers working non stop to generate these coins that were essentially worthless at the beginning. Which makes you wonder why someone would be doing this? The ONLY people making money actually doing this are people with highly specialized computers that can run these crazy algorithms and generate them faster than the average Joe. This already stinks of Elitism. My bet is that the reality is that there are NO computers REALLY generating Bitcoins this way. I am sure that they are created out of thin air and only have value because of this perceived difficulty. Even if they are what they say they are who is going to spend years crunching an algorithm?
The first thing I thought of when I heard of this Bitcoin scheme was the Carbon Credit scheme the Elite were trying to push. Through government regulation they would force companies to buy carbon credits to offset the pollution they were doing. The scam was that there was only a limited number of credits and a forced rising regulated demand. These companies could become carbon neutral by investing in “green” technologies. Of course all of these credits and technologies were owned by a group of insiders who thought of the scheme and then set about to create the demand through a huge propaganda campaign. When the lie was exposed, the Carbon Credit market collapsed to its intrinsic value, 0.
The first Bitcoin was worthless, because no one knew what they were or accepted them as payment. Now that people are hearing about this and are sold on this dream, they are now being bought and sold for dollars. Given that it is soooo difficult to create Bitcoins and there is presumably a limited number of them, this would naturally lead to speculation. I believe Bitcoins could end up being the biggest percentage bubble of all time, simply because this is the first thing that I know that has absolutely no value behind it and was literally worthless or a fraction of a penny and now it is $19 in a few months!? What does that work out to as a annualized percentage gain? And this has not even got into the general public. The guys that started this and have the 6 million Bitcoins created from air, now have close to $120 million in Bitcoins. That is worth like 100 tons of silver created from hash tag algorithm scheme. Speaking of silver… Bernard von NotHaus is a “domestic terrorist” for producing real money with his liberty coins, but this is OK?!

So who created this Bitcoin? Well that is a mystery to a certain extent. It is said that this programmer, Satoshi Nakamoto, released the source code but no one knows who he is or even if he exists. He might be like Keyser Soze from the Usual Suspects and not exist at all. He has a Japanese name, but all of his writing is in English. Even the lead in the Bitcoin project has only communicated with him by email. He got it started and right when it caught on, he disappears. Who knows, Satoshi might be Gavin Andresen or Amir Taaki. It does strike me as very curious that these two seem awfully relaxed heading up a project that the creator is hiding in the shadows and they know that governments are going to want to rule on them for potential “financial terrorism”.
I wonder how many Bitcoins Satoshi has? He must know that this would greatly increase the value the more this caught on, given the limited supply of the Bitcoins. It would think that by disappearing and owning a currency that cannot be traced, it would seen like the perfect scheme. Build an idea that gets around all of those pesky securities laws, sell something that is intrinsically worthless, and exchange your millions of Bitcoins for real money on these exchanges in complete privacy. The first Bitcoin guys must have a monopoly on these coins and therefore regulate the price of them by the amount they sell relative to the amount of interest.

| Don’t Tread On Me |
They go on to talk about how Bitcoin is great thing, because of inflation. Since there is only a limited amount of Bitcoins, their value will never be inflated away. Well that is not necessarily true since the Bitcoin money supply is going to double in two years. This should growing much slower than the interest or demand these coins could bring. All that aside, having a rigid currency is no party either. In the late 1800′s, when the Banksters demonetized silver in the Crime of 1873, we were on the gold standard. Gold is very stable in supply and cannot be inflated very easily. As a result of this immovable currency, a depression like no other occurred. Debts became harder and harder to pay back as money became hoarded by the Elite. Soon the money was so rare that starvation was rampant in America. This limited supply with growing interest will encourage less and less transactions. You would be a fool to spend the Bitcoins as money, because it is going up as an asset. 2 months ago you might have bought a $20 t shirt for 2o Bitcoins. Now those 20 Bitcoins are worth $400 dollars! That is an expensive t-shirt.
“If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origin in North America, shall become endurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world. The brains and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe!”-Times of New London 1862
I think debt free, fiat currencies that can grow and contract with the economy are a good solution. That should be coupled with other legal competing debt free money like gold, silver, platinum, copper and nickel. Having a floating value between all of these currencies would be a blessing to any society. We had monetary system like this in the United States both with Colonial Scrip and Greenbacks. Both times we had awesome growth and both times the Elite put a stop to it. I would also like to see usury and fractional reserve banking outlawed too while we are at it. Maybe even confiscate all of the wealth accumulated by the criminal Elite… Dare to dream.
Finally, they ask the all important question, Qui bono? Why promote this? Gavin answers by saying, “The incentives built into Bitcoin are really quite brilliant. Obviously if you were one of the people that were creating Bitcoins when they were worthless, well now you have some Bitcoins and you would like them to be worth something. You might work hard to try to find someone to trade with and try to find areas in which case they really make sense.” You can throw out all of the cover stories of underground currency, privacy, open source, peer-to-peer, and inflation proof stuff. This Bitcoin thing, when all is said and done, is a Ponzi scheme. The early adopters promote a scheme only to dump their worthless coins on the greater fool. He admits it right in the video!
This is not about they rest of the things that they are talking about. If it was, they could have just as easily created 100 billion Bitcoins and make it a fixed amount or even a flexible amount. They then could have given a couple Bitcoins to every IP address in the world and had an equal distribution of Bitcoin wealth. No, this is a scheme where the early adopters create Bitcoins with relative ease and THEN create the demand by selling the snake oil to unsuspecting people who will see no harm in spending a few bucks to try it out. As more people try it out and the supply remains steady it will naturally bid up the price. Fortunately, only the greedy, the gamblers and the fools will be caught holding this when it all blows up. The schemers that get out ahead of the collapse, are only encouraged to come up with another scheme as they walk away laughing.
Amir Taaki said that he got into Bitcoin through all of these online Poker Sites. These Poker sites have been driven off shore and in some cases out of business. One reason is that there is so much money going into these sites and who is to say that these on line poker chip currencies have any value. So Amir decided to write his own open source Poker game. The only payment system that he could use was Bitcoin, because of this privacy aspect of it. He goes on to say, “As I started to look at Bitcoin, I realized that wow, this is something that is amazing.” Yeah, it is amazing. Here is a scheme that gets around the online poker chip problem and the securities issues. These virtual currencies like World of Warcraft gold are a growing world of virtual and real money. Chinese prison slaves are now being forced to mine electronic gold instead of breaking rocks.
Towards the end of the interview Gavin openly discusses that he will be giving a presentation at the CIA about Bitcoin next week. The fact that it is not the FBI, DOJ, or SEC which would handle criminal or securities issues makes me wonder if something even more nefarious is at play here. He is going to speak in front of a venture capital firm that the CIA has called In-Q-Tel. In-Q-Tel is a private non-profit that specializes in high tech companies. I believe that In-Q-Tel is the real power behind such power houses as Google and Facebook. I have always doubted that guys like the Google boys and Zuckerberg could pull off such tremendous feats without a huge teams working hidden behind the scenes. What if the government/Elite wanted as much information on its slaves as possible to control them. They could assign a team of agents to work many hours interviewing and digging through files or they could set up systems to allow instant access across platforms like PROMIS or Carnivore. (Watch the Onion have fun with this.)
The real trick is how do you get really personal information like who their friends are, were they are going, what they are interested in? We see from the census that many people are very uncomfortable about giving the government their personal information. On Facebook or Google people willingly give away the farm because they feel safe. Now we live in a world where your phone tracks you in real time. You can be eavesdropped on even if the phone is turned off. The only way to prevent this, is to pull the battery out, which is why most new phones you cannot do that. Your laptop camera and microphone can record you in your home, like the Pennsylvania School case. What about the possibility of creating a whistle blowing site like WikiLeaks to control whistle blowing? How about every single picture you take on a digital camera has a time stamp and GPS coordinates on it. This is a great way for weirdos to stalk you and your family, especially if the weirdos are from the government.
So what could be the interest of the CIA in Bitcoin? Gavin says that there is a intelligence technology conference this year and the main issue is money. He says that they are, “very interested in money.” That is probably because that they know the dollar is going to die and their power is derived off of that dollar. They are looking for alternatives to keep their power going. I am of the opinion that there is a huge black ops part of the government that has huge interest in illegal activities like drug importation from Afghanistan. Could Bitcoin be used as an alternative currency outside the banking system? After all, our banking system is going to collapse and when it all goes down there are going to be a lot of bankers squealing about illegal activities to cover their ass. Here is a Swiss Banker blowing the whistle on how an assassination of a President of a third world country was paid through his bank.
These highly intelligent, forward thinking guys are trying to find a way to deal with a new paradigm. Collapsing dollar, freedom movement, hacktivism, and blow back from decades of illegal and immoral activities. It is too bad these guys don’t listen to the Oath they took to preserve and protect the Constitution. Maybe they think technologies like Bitcoin can serve as model for a new Dollar? Maybe they can set up other schemes that the fascist corporate power can use as currency when the dollar collapses? Maybe they will simply use the unlimited power of the government to generate more Bitcoins? Who knows? All I know that is all of this will end, and not well for those that are most dependent on the dollar paradigm.
Let’s bring this full circle. We can see that there are all of the classic elements of a Ponzi scheme in Bitcoin, but the majority cannot see the trillions of times larger Ponzi scheme of the dollar. Those that buy into Bitcoin are not really buying Bitcoins, they are buying into a paradigm that benefits them. As soon as it becomes apparent that it no longer benefits them, they will dump it never to be touched again. The same will go with the dollar. There will come a time that the dollar will no longer benefit the producers of oil or labor and it will no longer be accepted. They will sell their dollars for anything that has REAL tangible value. So the race is on what will collapse first Bitcoin or the Dollar? What will be worth more in the end, digital Ponzi scam currencies or silver?
The Cashless Society is Almost Here – And With Some Very Sinister Implications [video included]
by Patrick Henningsen
21st Century Wire
November 29, 2012
Among the long list of items bundled by consensus reality merchants under the banner of ‘conspiracy theory’, is a world without cash – where technocrats rule over the populace, and everything and anything is exchanged via plastic and RFID chips.
In this sterile and controlled Orwellian hi-tech society, the idea of cash being passed from hand to hand would be as archaic as the thought of carrying around a rucksack of tally sticks today.
Still, despite the incredible penetration of credit and debit card transactions into economic aggregate, and the boom in internet shopping, few will comfortably admit that a cashless society is nearly upon us. In part, it’s a natural denial by many fueled by the idea of our society is indeed on a collision course with the sort of dystopic impersonal future like that depicted in the 1970′s sci-fi film classic, ‘Logan’s Run’.
Cashless money is here, and growing rapidly.
Cashless money is here, and growing rapidly.Over the years, futurists and commentators alike seemed to agree that a cashless society would be a slow creep, and cash would automatically phase itself in simply by virtue of the sheer volume of electronic transactions that would gradually make paper less available and more costly to redeem and exchange. This is still true for the most part. What few counted on, however, was how the final push would take place, and why. Some will be surprised by these new emerging mechanisms, and the political and sinister implications they will ultimately lead to.
What’s the time frame on all this? Difficult to say, but what is certain is that the initial phases are already in motion…
Introduction of Parallel Currencies
There has been a lot made about the ‘cashless society’ in media, but this cannot fully happen until there is a cashless currency.
Every revolution needs a good crisis in order to germinate its seed. The cashless revolution is no different. It should be abundantly clear by now that the global financial meltdown has been engineered at every juncture of its unfolding by the very private central banks who expand and contract the money supply. A dollar or euro collapse will trigger a global economic crisis, which is a prime opportunity to introduce the next phase.
In the summer of 2012, at the height of the European Central Bank (ECB) ritualistic raping of the Greek economy, financial expert Max Keiser, alongside Mexican billionaire Hugo Salinas Price, traveled to Athens to promote the idea of a silver Drachma as a parallel currency to the ever-failing euro. In theory and in practice, this parallel currency was ‘sound money’ for individual Greeks and would allow them to retain some say in their financial destiny, and also allow them to accumulate real wealth. It should have caught on. But this great idea did not go down well with media moguls and technocratic elites loyal to their overlords in the ECB, Wall Street and the City of London. Still, too many people remain unaware of how money is created, entered into circulation and how their private central banks control inflation, and Greece is no different.
Watch this clip from Greek television:
The US dollar is pure fiat, but it does have a theoretical backer. It is an oil-backed currency – and for better of for worse, it’s on its way to losing its long-lived status as the world’s reserve currency. There are signals that China is moving towards a gold-backed currency and has already agreed to buy the majority of its oil supply from Russia off of the US dollar peg. This could mean two things: the US could be forced to fight a war to maintain dollar supremacy, or the dollar will begin to drop as the top dog. This shift will open up a window of opportunity for money masters to insert not only a brand new global currency, but also its universal cashless attributes as well.
Common sense and free market wisdom would expect to see a sound money option replace the current fiat disaster, but as we saw in Greece, a great solution was not taken up and straddled with the dysfunctional euro, that society will continue to pay the cost of that reality.
The euro crisis was a great opportunity to throw out the euro in favour of something that could create wealth, rather than debt. As the fiat currencies continue to slide downhill, globalist are preparing their solution behind closed doors.
Enter the Cashless Currency…
It’s arguable that we approaching the cusp of that US Dollar collapse, and perhaps a Euro implosion on the back end of it. Risks of hyper inflation are very real here, but if you control the money supply might already have a ready-made solution waiting in the wings, you will not be worrying about the rift, only waiting for the chaos to ensue so as to maximise your own booty from the crisis.
Many believed that the global currency would be the SDR unit, aka Special Drawing Rights, implemented in 2001 as a supplementary foreign exchange reserve asset maintained by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). SDRs were not considered a full-fledged currency, but rather a claim to currency held by IMF member countries for which they may be exchanged for dollars, euros, yen or other central bankers’ fiat notes.
With the SDR confined to the upper tier of the international money launderette, a new product is still needed to dovetail with designs of a global cashless society.
Two new parallel currencies are currently being used exclusively within the electronic, or cashless domain – Bitcoin and Ven.
Among the many worries Ben Bernanke listed in his speech at the New York Economic Club last week was the emergence of Bitcoin. But don’t believe for a second that these digital parallel currencies are not being watched over and even steered by the money masters. Couple this latest trend with done deals by most of the world’s largest mobile networks this month to allow people to pay via a mobile ‘wallet’, and you now have the initial enabler for a new global electronic currency.
These new parallel cashless currencies could very quickly end up in pole position for supremacy when the old fiat notes fade away as a result of the next planned economic dollar and euro crisis.
Both Bitcoin and Ven appear on their surface to be independent parallel digital money systems, but the reality is much different. In April 2011, Ven announced the first commodity trade priced in Ven for gold production between Europe and South America. Both of these so-called ‘digital alternatives’ are being backed and promoted through some of the world’s biggest and most long-standing corporate dynasties, including Rothschild owned Reuters as an example, which should be of interest to any activist who believes that a digitally controlled global currency is a dangerous path to tread down.
The Electronic Deutsche Mark
Much is made of Germany’s prominent financial position within the EU, with a popular talking point being that, “Germany is carrying the majority of the load in ‘bailing out’ countries such as Greece in the south”. If the Euro is ‘heading south’ as many a financial commentator are claiming, then how would a country like Germany – or even the US Federal Reserve for that matter, hedge their bets with an impending currency collapse looming just over the horizon?
Economics professor Miles Kimball from the University of Michigan thinks he knows the answer:
“In short, for a smooth transition, a reintroduced mark needs to be an electronic mark. I recently made the case for the electronic dollar in a previous Quartz column, “E-Money: How paper currency is holding the US recovery back.” The trouble with paper money is that the rate of interest people earn on holding paper money puts a floor on the interest rate they are willing to accept in doing any other lending. For the US, I proposed making the electronic dollar the “unit of account” or economic yardstick for prices and other economic values, and having the Federal Reserve control the exchange rate between electronic dollars and paper dollars to make paper dollars gradually fall in value relative to electronic dollars during periods of time when the Fed wants room to make the interest rate negative.
In the case of Germany, there would be no need to reintroduce a paper mark along with the electronic mark, since the euro itself could continue in its current role as a “medium of exchange” for making purchases in Germany, alongside the electronic mark. A “crawling peg” exchange rate could be used to let the electronic mark gradually go up in value relative to the euro, without causing a huge rush into the mark, since with no paper mark other than the euro itself, interest rates in Germany could be close to zero when measured in euros, which would make them strongly negative in terms of marks.”
A dollar or euro crash could be the perfect storm for the introduction of a major global digital currencies, and this will do nothing but fast-track our entry into the new cashless society.
Contactless Payments
This past year’s Summer Olympic was a beta testing exercise for a number of new programs. We witnessed troops deployed en mass for the first time to marshal the international sporting event and new facial recognition technology tested to monitor its attendees. One of the chief sponsors of London 2012 Olympic was VISA, used the event as a springboard to launch its new ‘contactless payment’ technology, acclimatising the international public to making routine payments via smartphones. VISA now predicts that this new method will carry 50 per cent of its transaction volume by the year 2020.
Mastercard has also rolled out its own version called Paypass, and Barclaycard has already implemented its own mobile phone payment chip in 2011. It conceivable here, that a bank like Barclays could one day takeover a major mobile service provider in order to streamline the endless profits it could accrue from monopolising cashless payment facilities for its customers. A recent edition of Marketing Week further explains how this is program is being rolled out:
“Barclays launched Pingit this year, a mobile payment service that allows customers to send and receive money with a mobile phone number, which has sparked The Payments Council to work on a similar project. And the three leading mobile operators in the UK – EE, Vodafone and O2 – are working on a joint project under the name Weve, one of the aims of which is to develop standardised technology for ‘digital wallets’ on mobile.
These industry innovations reflect the changing attitude and behaviour by consumers to cashless payments. Barry Clark, account director at Future Foundation, which identified the trend towards a cashless society in its recent report into the changing face of payments, explains that this move towards digital is a “banking nirvana” for brands, since replacing cash with electronic payments takes high costs out of the system.”
These mobile enablers will effectively cover the small services and contractor’s market for the cashless society. In addition, digital payment terminals like iZettle and Square (created by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey), have brought in most small traders, including taxi drivers, plumbers etc, and street side retailers – meaning that the barrier for entry into the new cashless society has been effectively dissolved.
The Socialist ‘Oyster’
The darker aspect of a cashless society, is one which few are debating or discussing, but is actually the most pivotal in terms of scial engineering and transforming communities and societies. In London, the electronic touch payment Oyster Card was introduced in 2003, initially for public transport, and since that time the card has been co-opted to be used for other functions, as the UK beta tests the idea of an all-in-one cashless lifestyle solution.
Ironically, and alongside biometric chipping now in India, it’s the United States, supposedly the birthplace of modern capitalism, who is beta testing its own socialist technocracy. As the ranks of the poor and unemployed grow and dollar inflation rises in America, more and more people are dependent on traditional ‘Food Stamp’ entitlements in order to feed their families. The US has now introduced its own socialist ‘Oyster’ to replace the old Food Stamp program. It’s called the ‘EBT’, which stands for “Electronic Benefit Transfer“, as a means of transferring money from the central government to people living below the poverty line. Advocate Mike Adams for Natural News describes it another way:
“EBT benefits have more than doubled during the Obama administration’s last four years, creating tens of millions of new dependents who now vote based almost entirely on who gives them the most handouts.
The purchase of vitamins is specifically prohibited by the EBT program. This is done as a way to keep EBT recipients sick and diseased while suffering from nutritional deficiencies, which is precisely what the federal government wants.
EBT cards create high-profit handouts to corporations, too: Pharmaceutical companies and the sick-care industry; Big Government which gets re-elected based on entitlement handouts; global banks which earn a percentage off every swipe; and even the processed junk food industry which preys upon nutritional ignorance of the poor.
In fact, for every dollar’s worth of food handed out to EBT recipients under the program, at least 50 cents is driven right into the profit coffers of wealthy corporations.”
Adams has pointed out the endgame here. Where collectivist technocrats are concerned, a global digital currency is not only a means for a centrally controlled economy, but also a centrally controlled society. And as Adams also pointed out, they can even control what you eat.
There’s also the small matter of the Verichip, or ‘class 2′ implantable medical devise, an RFID chip already set to be implemented through Obamacare. It will transmit medical records, bank accounts, keyless entry and much more. The technology could be a $100 Trillion industry over the coming decade.
Bottom line: We’ve got a big problem when the state can – and will cut-off your electronic financial lifeline should you fall foul of the system. No negotiations, no gray areas – and definitely no place for a free individual in this type of globalist system.
Social Networks Gradually Supplanting Real Communities
In 2011 Facebook launched its own virtual currency, which was taken up immediately by the games developer industry. Facebook created it’s own internal digital market overnight. If customers didn’t like it, they had two choices – jump ship, or stay in the biggest market place. That’s a lot of power to wield, and you can wield it if you have the big numbers.
A severe lack of choice in the world of online communities has unwittingly(or not) positioned Facebook to play the roles of not only data collector, but also as banker, retailer, archivist and governor.
As 2012 comes to a close, many people have certainly become, in one way or another, sans border citizens of the Facebook Nation. In the future, one corporation or cartel’s success in capturing a near global monopoly of membership to a particular online platform might give it the ability to dictate a digital economic mandate to both producers and consumer.
The digital data industry now claims in a recent study by fast.MAP, that consumer confidence in sharing personal information has risen. But the reality is that most people do not know which data is being used and to who it is being shared or sold to. Most users are unknowingly trading “access” to networks, as well convenient speed of registration – for data privacy. We do this on a daily basis now.
It’s a question of speculation at this point how deeply the new digital currencies will be integrated into social networking giants like Facebook, or Second Life – where users are already buying virtual property with virtual currency, but few can deny that the potential for consolidation in the early 21st century is already there.
History Will Repeat Itself
Whenever the status quo is seen as a failure, the architects of society will rarely allow the whole show to come to a grinding halt, for fear that new and non-centrally controlled organic systems of organisation will emerge. The ruling establishment will spare no opportunity to tell society this, over and over, making people truly believe that it is in their best interest to adopt whatever alternative is handed down to them. This is why, when faced with a crisis, society will almost always seek to implement a parallel alternatives, rather than rethink the whole system.
In 2008, the public had an opportunity to collapse the predatory banking system that has been trading insolvent and gambling on thin air. But the very same ruling establishment who engineered the crisis to begin with, masterfully presented their own solution as the remedy by establishing the precedent of the state bailing out any gambling losses incurred by the banking community.
In the end society relented, and with help of pro-banking political leadership on both sides of the Atlantic, they adopted the pre-packaged belief that a cluster of bloated and corrupt financial institutions were simply too big to fail. Aside from being a massive redistribution of wealth upwards into the hands of the speculative elite classes, this was merely a test by the establishment to see how far they could go in robbing the public, pushing up inflation, hoovering up real assets, robbing pension funds and enslaving taxpayers to generations of debt the bankers created – all in one swoop.
It has long been the dream of collectivists and technocratic elites to eliminate the semi-unregulated cash economy and black markets in order to maximise taxation and to fully control markets. If the cashless society is ushered in, they will have near complete control over the lives of individual people.
The financial collapse which began in 2007-2008 was merely the opening gambit of the elite criminal class, a mere warm-up for things to come. With the next collapse we may see a centrally controlled global digital currency gaining its final foothold.
The cashless society is already here. The question now is – how far will society allow it to penetrate and completely control each and every aspect of their day to day lives?

Solutions for the Economic Collapse [audio/video]

Corbett Report Radio #235
Everyone knows the gravity of the situation. Our civilization is poised on the edge of a giant derivatives-fueled debt bubble that is threatening to take the entire global economy down with it when it pops. Governments are throwing funny money at the problem hand over fist in coordinated quantitative easing campaigns to kick the can down the road a while longer. The end is inevitable: we are heading toward the collapse of our current monetary system. The question, as always, is what can we do about it.
