In my last post, I listed some statistics. Of those, it’s the money velocity stat which will ultimately be the real killer.
Money velocity is the speed at which money flows through a society- it is what its name implies, the velocity of money. A high money velocity keeps money from pooling in the hands of the few, and flowing into the hands of the many. It creates a middle class.
A low money velocity means that wealth stays in the hands of the wealthy. It creates oligarchy and poverty. It kills capital and destroys the middle class. It exacerbates class conflict and generates anger, envy, and instability. A very low money velocity creates chaos and civil war.
It was the low money velocity of the thirties that created what we call the “Great Depression”. See the chart below from the St. Louis Fed, and note how the plunge in money velocity in the early part of the century matches exactly with the years we’ve labelled the Great Depression, and the second World War and its aftermath:
And yes, it took the US until the mid- 1950’s to finally crawl out completely from the Great Depression and the chaos, violence, and war it left in its wake. It was then, in the mid-50’s and beyond, that we entered the “Golden Age” of American history, a time of great stability and prosperity for all. That time that ended in 2008, with the horrific and unimaginable plunge in money velocity that kicked off Great Depression II, which is the hell we’re living in now.
See- note how the money velocity of 2008 to the present is lower than it was during the Great Depression and World War II!
This stat is extremely alarming! Or at least, it would be if anyone in the “intelligentsia” knew what was going on or what they were doing.
It is insane and incomprehensible that in Obama’s seven years in office, that he has not even attempted, in any way, to address any of the problems I listed, or that the real problems facing the nation seem to not interest him at all.
It does make one wonder if his goal is in fact the annihilation of the United States.
The oligarchy doesn’t seem to know or understand what it’s doing on any level. Its messages are always garbled, clumsy, and given out at the wrong times. It’s recent “successes” with Obamacare, gay marriage, the Confederate flag, etc. were pushed through at exactly the wrong moment. They don’t seem to understand that this isn’t the 60’s anymore, so that kind of stuff isn’t going to work now and doesn’t fit, at all, with the current zeitgeist. And they don’t seem to get that these “successes” can easily be undone at the point of a gun wielded by an angry populous.
There is no “give and take” between the wealthy and the rest here anymore. It’s all take, take, take by the wealthy, long term social consequences and global stability be damned.
It’s like they see the rest of society as a playground, and the rest of the population as toys created for their amusement.
It’s sick.
And it can’t last.
Remember that Gallup poll that showed that a third of Americans believed that Obama didn’t even like this country? Well, they haven’t seen anything since then to change their minds, and these recent matters aren’t going to help any. At what point does that percentage become a crisis scenario in the eyes of the regime? 40%? 50%? 75%?
It’s nuts. What are they doing? We’re deep into an economic depression, and at the threshold of Civil War already, and they’re pressing highly volatile things in the public’s face? WTF?!?!
Are they intentionally stroking the fires of war? I wonder. Is that what Jade Helm is about? Is that a preparation for Civil War II?
If it is, there is no reason to think that the regime is going to get anywhere in a war on the American people, and much reason to think that any force against them will fall apart, like their recent offenses everywhere else- you know, in Syria, Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
It’s crazy. Do they not realize that the “boots on the ground guys” in the police and the military secretly despise the African in the White House? The minute a shooting war starts, they will defect to the other side. They’re not going to kill their own friends and families to appease “Obama”, the Israeli lobby, and the Kardashians. To think that they would is the height of delusion.
I don’t know what they’re doing, but this B.S. needs to stop and stop now. The oligarchs need to ground themselves back in reality, apologize to the public for their recent actions, and make amends like responsible grownups.
And if they are trying to destroy this country on purpose, I don’t know what to say, except that they all must die. I will not stand for that, and neither will the rest of us. My life is important. My culture is important. My way of life is important, and I will not allow my future to be extinguished by others as long as I can draw breath.
