The Current Mess
In a debt-based monetary system, power is maintained by constantly increasing scope and control of what is accepted as collateral, effectively controlling who is given power to leverage their equity and profit from inflation.
Monopoly of the issuance of currency and credit tend to favor insiders and people with easy access to cheap credit below the rate of inflation. State chartered banks, big corporations and wealthy individuals are benefactors in such a system.
Politicians who wish to maintain the illusion of their power are incentivized to hide this truth from the public and support these power structures, or they will soon find themselves stripped of their illusions and kicked out of office.
Politicians are simply power brokers between the wealthy and the poor. In a social democratic state system, the power structures remain static, while the leaders are changed to accommodate for the survival of the system and its insiders. This is why these power structures are so resilient to change and why the system takes on a life of its own.
If people knew how they are lured into accepting and playing these games, slaving away climbing the corporate and political ladder, the system would start to break down.
Control of information and knowledge is key to maintaining these institutions of power. The leveling of the playing field by easy access to truthful money, information and knowledge through the internet present a great challenge to the power brokers and the ruling class.
Increased collection and leveraging of information and knowledge is necessary to maintain their illusion of power. We see rising levels of politicization, indoctrination, censorship and propaganda as the money and power structures of old begin to crumble.
I believe these desperate attempts by the powers that be only help to highlight the problems the power structures of government and fiat banking are facing. It ends up motivating more and more people to study what the hell is happening and why.
