MONEY: The Fraud of Nations on Populations?




Tell them...print more money

  

Make Millions Shorting Bonds...


To be short, the world's economic, population, social and political problems may be tied directly to a "failed theory of money, and the deriving consequential economic models".  Money is simply a medium that conveys to the holder that the issuer has stored value somewhere for the holder to access at will and demand.The value can only come in the form of either abstract or concrete constructs. Period. However the value of abstracts constructs derives its existence solely from concrete constructs.




Thus without food, water, OIL, shelter and such; the abstract constructs ability to survive and exist is highly impaired and ceases along with the exhaustion of concrete constructs. Period. The exhaustion of the world's oil reserves; for example, will therefore have a significant; if not, catastrophic impact on global economies as the value of money cannot be sustained only by abstract constructs - a.k.a...Hot Air




Here's the Catch 22 under present beliefs.To create an illusion of economic advance, declining nations will grow their money supply and populations,even when the nation's stores of per capita concrete constructs are declining.This acts then to fuel an "exponential decline".




" The known issuance of more and more money against a declining store of concrete constructs is thus an outright fraud by the issuer nation".They are representing that when the holder of the medium acts to demand the promised value of the medium that the issuer can deliver concrete constructs with everyday utility. If the issuer nation knows it will soon exhaust its resources (say like Nauru ,Greece and America)  it also knows that it can "never deliver" any form of concrete construct to the holder.




One solution, currently in favour, is to issue 30 year bonds (abstract constructs) and thereby push the holders' demands out to a future date. This is supposedly the date when all the laws of the universe will be known for application; so we may then create new planets at will. (sort of like a god).





Satirically, the value of 30 year bonds; issued today by any nation, is tied therefore directly to our acquiring all the knowledge and skill sets of God. So we can then create all the concrete constructs necessary to fulfill the promised value of the medium that the nation previously issued. Hmmm...highly remote.
 


Conclude then that all the governments on the planet are participating in this massive scheme that fools the vast unwashed by the issuance of more and more money and bonds. These instruments have little chance or worse; will  NEVER deliver the promised future value in the form of concrete constructs. Such a game:...musical chairs perhaps?




My friends, it would be welcoming to exchange ideas on this topic.As while the problems offer intense complexity, the paradoxical solution is intensely simple in the ways needed to end this scheme and possibly better sustain the utility of both money and economies.


The time for a new yellow brick road grows near!

CRISIS: Geopolitical Currency





How Fragile We Are...



 

Rise and Shine; Changing Geopolitical Currency

  

I believe that we need to wake up to the reality that the "underpinning and foundation of the geopolitical theme has shifted". From a theme of a wealth based on currency. From a theme where technology and media formed part of that currency, To a new theme. To a theme where wealth reverts away from technology back to core necessities. The human condition hit its peak and many suggest is now on the other side of the slippery slope. And unfortunately “exponential gravity" acts to accelerate the downward path.

Current high fashions of Facebook, Twitter and in fact most classic mediums should become increasingly less relevant. While Facebook and social media are new to the scene their value should marginalize in time. Their economic prospects dim. They are largely tools used to continue a celebrity centric culture and grease its final hysteria. Meanwhile the mainstream media is also in peril. Printed newspapers magazines and television no longer garner the litany of advertisers, as audiences fragment and dilute. Their days seem numbered. Their influence watered down significantly from past hey days.

Wealth is shifting back to core necessities and leaving technology behind in its wake. There are many reasons for this, but the driving force is that it has outgrown its utility and it will diminish even further in a world in need of scarcer and scarcer elements. These elements such as water, food, shelter, heat and oil will forge the behaviour of individuals and the behaviour of nations. The behaviour and words of the geopolitical mantra, positions and actions will change.

Look at today's geopolitical chessboard and the US is in untenable position. Oil is now the currency that is truly the key to the survival of their economy, country and world dominance. Yet the emperor’s clothes are slowly becoming invisible. Today the US consumes about 19 billion barrels of oil from the annual global pie of 88 billion. Its own reserves are estimated at 40 billion, enough for just two years. So in other words without the rest of the world's oil to consume, the American system, economy, power, currency and way of life collapses in just two short years. They know this, but so do the others in this tribal dance.

For because of it, the dynamic motivations and currency of geopolitics is reshaping to place greater and greater emphasis on the utility of essential elements that are tied more closely to the core survival needs. And as supply diminishes, more emphasis and value will be given to these elements. Countries relying on technology and industrial capacity will lose their relevance on the geopolitical chessboard where the elements of survival define the currency of the game.

Looking at Maslow's hierarchy of needs, nations treated as individuals are past self-actualization and are returning to the basic needs of existence. Power on the geopolitical chessboard will be held by those with the abundance and control of these elements. The role of technology and media will be less and less important as nations chase the remaining crumbs of the planet's proverbial table of resources.

Power on the geopolitical chessboard is shaped by the underlying nature and supply of the game's currency. As its currency's nature changes, so does its power. So does the game. Rise and shine...
