Interesting. I wonder if the tokenization process started by BlackRock and others (governments too - with digital IDs and CBDC) is just another (last) phase of the financialization of the economy and if so, who is going to benefit.
Matte, it sure looks like it. Put this one below on arrots comment but you might find it interesting. Martin Armstrong on how they are lining that up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbtZW_lIWaI
This is a difficult subject to cover with its many turns and personalities injecting unique drivers tending to color observations. I see a pattern of individuals at the top of society trying to preserve their positions by avoid mixing with the fray. They only see others like themselves and believe the 'cream at the top' is best and it is these individuals who control the narrative that this is so. The theories they support entirely miss the bottom 90% of humanity which is responsible for 100% of the creativity present in humanity. Yet, they routinely try to corral that creativity for their own advancement to keep themselves on top and push narratives of how they are best suited for leadership. That perception has been busted with the Internet letting anyone who wishes to become part of the conversation and to merge with like-minded voices. Only with the issues revealed due to COVID and the elites' deploying this and every other means to gain ever more power and wealth has a far more vocal crowd emerged of which Lilybit is one. American Hegemony emerges from protections to free speech and property. Both, lead to more innovation here than elsewhere where protections are far less. The source of American dominance is the freedom of its people. This cultural phenomena has not been recognized because it does not develop top-down as elites would have you believe, mind you they need to feel they control things, but is in fact bottom-up where individuals innovate but do not control the narrative. Hegemony is in the details of individual contribution which everyone at the top misses because they want to be isolated from the frey they view as messy and dirty, "the Walmart people" or as I was told by a member of own family, "the little people". What was funny at the time is that I immediately knew that I stood firmly among "the little people". That family member defined a family mentality that separated me from them as firmly as if they had suddenly slammed a door in my face. I take the opposite view of the current outcome. What you and many others are discussing is the beginning of a major societal reeducation in which enough of us are being made more aware to the point that we will overturn the last 75yrs or so of deterioration of personal independence towards a period in which enough of a minority take back that control reliant on our own judgement. I see better times ahead but not without some social/political battles. And...yes, Wall Street elites are just as stupid, but the information is now available to sidestep and essentially neutralize them through individual action and individual choices.
'The theories they support entirely miss the bottom 90% of humanity which is responsible for 100% of the creativity present in humanity.'
Yes indeed. Martin Armstrong did a good job of running the ball to the fence on this recently. He puts the 'ongoing misery' we have to put up with these morons at about another 8 years. He's bee pretty much spot on, (any wonder they jailed him for 12 years because he would not give up his system which showed the flow of capital 'corruption' as a lever of societarial forecasting). I wonder if you have watched 'The Forecaster'.
Here is the recent video of him discussing how CBDC's will fail due to some good state set ups in USA. (the alternate currency). Lots of juicy stuff in this one.
Hmm…James Patrick has a mix of truth with misperception and wanders. Likes to hear himself talk. I have been in finance for 40yrs and he misses the fundamentals and the complexity of what he glosses over as simple.
I have always seen crypto as pretty much an intelligence test or 'trial' created by 'them' for digital test - designd to appeal to 'the conspiracy minded rebels or theorists'.
Armstrong calls crypto crap everytime I have heard him speak to it. In the video he is not referring to crypto - he is referring to 'state issued currency'. Real stuff. Every human civilisation has had 'a currency' (a real form), and that is pretty much why it will not work (on the ground). Thats his point. He has a whole ledger of the same from the past where the Fed has tried to pull the trick over the states. Very interesting video.
Thank you for your comment. I am in finance. Cryptocurrencies are nothing but tokens, much like blank checks and supposedly can be used as better security to transact currency. The promises that they have the value proposed in nonsense as they require use to continuously refresh their unique identity. This means every user imparts a refresh without which the cryptocurrency becomes valueless if not refreshed and therefore each user is due part of the value they supposedly bring to banking. They are not currencies themselves, they are not assets with inherent value but require use. Now, the final point is JPMorgan created and ran a trial using cryptocurrency. They stopped doing this without giving a reason for stopping. I guarantee that any good idea is very quickly brought into the banking system if is better than prior practice. This has not occurred. Best guess is that its promises were unfulfilled.
Very interesting article Lily. There are many theories regarding the causes that have (once again) brought us to the brink of economic collapse. I find Martin Armstrong's writings the most detailed and thought provoking, but no matter who you consider to offer the most accurate accounting of history--it always seem to come down to cycles. Unrelenting, unstoppable cycles. Perhaps the human condition is akin the 3 body problem, too many variables which make it impossible to predict or prevent the inevitable destruction of the system. In our simple minds we call it "cycles".
oh yes me too! This one was great (recent). feel like a stuck record, as Ive put it on a few replies here but its right in the eye of what he sees as the coming 'process' (we have to endure!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbtZW_lIWaI
Very good gathering here Lily. I was researching the origin of 'Black Rocks' Aladdin program (given this is one of the tools of financialisation), and ended up here somehow, through the most rudimentary 'wiki' search.
This pretty much tracks this all back to what you are saying. It also makes sense in light of whats going on right now in their 'quickening' race to CBDC's, and digital ID broadly speaking.
Those running this have basically 'jumped the shark' ... tank. The thing (the simple decisions to 'wipe the floor' with the 'opportunity' for financial gain at some point by a few), turned into the reality everyone would be put through and manipulated by.
The 'organic' world continues to march on inside peoples lives, and direct their daily processes, but the financial manipulators have tasted the potential benefits of the global reach of this 'thing' (the psychopathic genie they have let out of the bottle), and due to the fact that they have also discovered (created) the exciting possibility of 'full legal immunity' clauses for anything they do (in Switzerland they gather), this is not going to stop, until it blows.
We need to keep on pressing and poking at what this monster is, in order we can raise up the beautiful potential of humanity, when it practices restraint from 'the Switzerland ruse'. For without it, we have to be accountable to the village. Globalism is in fact the new 'communism' beast. The Globalist has no 'nation', therefore he cannot be tracked down in his 'home', by the pitchforks. All very deliberate and clever. Davos, the cockroach nest where they gather, is well protected.
Globalism is now a disease. Sharing of technology and resources could have been such a wonderful idea. Trading. But it was hijacked or what its intention always to covert and control. I would say a good thing turned into poison 'naturally' without any 'moral underpinnings'. Always the problem.
Brics is nothing more than a 'shift' of 'trade' for the very same players who have almost 'done' with hollowing out and pillaging of the '1st world'.
Thanks, Lily, especially for dictating your article. I can listen and work on a jigsaw puzzle at the same time.
Would that more people understood what was happening and what is coming. I don't know if, given the enormous power they have accumulated, we can do anything to stop them, especially with so many blind to reality. Those who don't see what is coming will suffer the most when the collapse happens, sadly.
There might be something to this idea, but I can't help thinking it's not unlike the general stance adopted by, say, history professors, who consistently trot out various facts and theories accounting for the origin and purpose of wars and revolutions, while at the same time hiding the really relevant players and motives. They are promoting a cover story, or a series of them.
What's really happening is the bankers are making their move to establish themselves as world rulers. They're intriguing in much the same fashion as they always have, as when they maneuvered the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, WWI, and WWII. Control money, especially the mode of money creation, and, eventually, you've got it made. That's apart, of course, from any demonic involvement in the whole process. The end of America would seem to be the endpoint in their plans, inasmuch as the US was initially set-up to prevent the centralization of state power. They hate the US, among others (God, for instance). As apocalyptic as it may seem, the end of America is nothing compared to the new heaven and new earth that is looming on the horizon.
The financialization of the US economy was carried out through a wave of centralizations that began in the 1970s and then was turbo charged during the 1980s. The USA had interstate capital flow inhibitors for the entirety of its existence until they were de facto and mostly done away with between the late 1970s to mid-1980s, and then de jure and fully done away with by the late 1990s. By the mid-1980s, there was huge intra-country capital flight and significant capital concentrations. This greatly contributed to the financialization of the US economy. It was a key part of the acute market concentrations we have today and played a huge role in the establishment of private sector central planning.
The power block has become a transnational elite and superseded the nation state. This is why they is so much to do about nothing in the domestic front. The overriding plan and framing is being formed from without. Curious to whether it's as unified as my previous sentences assume. Being human, they're probably as petty as most of us are, but the sheer numbers opposed probably facilitates and demands focus and a degree of uniformity. When more of their plans start going wrong ala Sri Lanka, it could get spicy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🫠 very interesting times
I reckon this is whats coming! They can 'hide' but when they start trying to 'implement' their idiotic 'digitisation' the house of cards will fall apart (after MUCH hardship to many unfortunately). It sort of comes down to basic stuff like how they (I am in Australia) have been destroying our excellent coal power grid (we have so much coal here) it gets flogged off cheap to China, which makes all the solar and wind crap, and then the WEF puppet here. (politicians) force the coal plants to shut down and erect these poluting inefficient scams everywhere. Anyway, whats started to emerge is that 'the power is going down' alot... and then no one can 'use their card', or even get petrol. All the hospitals close down (kind of) no office of any sort works, so everything has to shut... and Ill leave the rest to imagination. Over here, the banks are on an orgy of shutting down all their branches everywhere but large cities and banning 'cash' from any transactions (from overcounter etc). So its starting to get smelly as 'the general plebs who are asleep' (bless their hearts and I do NOT mean to be mean), are going - hang on - WTF is going on here? A great time to be alive!
Similar story to hear in the UK. The book 'global police state' outlines the formation of the trans nat elite well imho. You can take or leave the Gramcian Marxist framing as its still incredible well researched and documented.
Its interesting that you mention coal, I find energy to be the single most important aspect of this as it the core ingredient that so frequently missed. Absolute madness shipping coal to China, when it could be used domestically. It only makes sense I suspect when you look at the supra state/transnational level.
Yes, on the coal, what I am seeing is pretty much the 'narrative' of 'dirty coal', to shame the people into 'demanding' 'clean energy' . Sorry for all the quote marks it feels like we are living in a constant state of 'cliches'.
They need to be able to blame the people (see my videos on my Substack profile which is just my creative attempt at 'making the very complicated mess seem simple' for some as a 'story'). Very like the Covid Con, if they can get the people to demand 'the thing' (the fix) - be it 'the injection' or 'the green solution' (reminds me of the green dream ironcally), then that means they can say (as I point out in Monsters 3) that they shun blame again and put it on 'the people'. Keep seeing it.
The coal thing is just 'vandalism'. Its like a kick in the head to Australians - steal our coal (trans thing as you said), and exchange it for 'trinket crap'.
Then tell us as we sit in the dark due to power restrictions - you wanted it. Grrr
Buy land, raise livestock, learn to garden and grow food. Be self sufficient and help others in your community….because when the next collapse comes, we all need to be prepared.
