<h2>By David Ward [<a href="https://wdavidward.substack.com/p/be-released-from-the-bond-age">Originally published on David’s Substack</a>]</h2><p>In this postmodern world, the meanings of words (as I’ve mentioned many times before) continue to shift. If you don’t have an old dictionary, you might want to find one, and keep it on hand; because the debasement of our language, along with our currency (and culture), is bound to continue — for a while yet. An online search now will yield an entirely different interpretation of the word ‘bondage’ — you might even call it a ‘fetish’ given every reference to this now leads to a porn site. <em>This </em>from the sadomasochist psychopaths who run the world, of course, who are determined to teach you to<em> love your bonds</em> – just as they want you to ‘own nothing and be happy.’</p><p>And even now, when more and more people understand the power elite’s plan for a new technofeudal world, we will be powerless to do anything about it, because the nature of money (and thus power) is not understood.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa29d99cc-df52-4dae-93e3-5c4e3ed675dd_749x159.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa29d99cc-df52-4dae-93e3-5c4e3ed675dd_749x159.jpeg" width="749" height="159" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a29d99cc-df52-4dae-93e3-5c4e3ed675dd_749x159.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":159,"width":749,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"","title":null,"type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":false,"topImage":true,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" fetchpriority="high" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Not only is there an almost total lack of knowledge about how our monetary system currently works (please revisit my earlier ‘<a href="https://wdavidward.substack.com/p/bank-heist">Bank Heist</a>’ post) or even how it worked historically (<em><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Making-Money-Currency-Coming-Capitalism/dp/0198709587">Making Money: Coin, Currency and the Coming of Capitalism</a></em>), a dangerous misunderstanding has been fostered — <em>intentionally</em>, it would seem. I would even go so for as to call this real ‘malinformation’ — a new term that we hear on occasion (which definitely won’t be in your our old Webster’s Dictionary). As a result, the actions we take (in the hope of fixing our economy) are likely to have precisely the opposite effect. This is the inevitable — and anticipated — final stage of that Great Reset transition, <em>however</em> things unfold.</p><p><strong>Whether the system collapses of its own accord (as Ponzi Schemes do)</strong>, or is <em>intentionally</em> collapsed at an opportune moment (as those bankers have often done) — or is <em>unintentionally</em> collapsed, the result of actions taken by well-meaning yet uncomprehending politicians — the results will be (essentially) the same: a massive contraction of the money supply and an equally massive transfer of assets from those without money to those with money.</p><p>Again, in any of the above situations, those with money (or a grasp of these concepts at least) will win. In an inflationary scenario, those with cash on hand will likely buy assets (these may or may not appreciate in value, <em>depending</em>, but that’s another story). In a deflation (as in the depression, where the Fed reduced the money supply by 33%) every dollar held actually gained purchasing power. <em>Spuriously </em>attributed to Thomas Jefferson:</p><blockquote><p><strong>“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered. . .”</strong></p></blockquote><p>You can read more about this on the <a href="https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/private-banks-spurious-quotation/">Monticello</a> website, but I share these words because (like so many of those quotations floating around the monetary universe), ‘spurious’ or not, this analogy perfectly describes the reality of our current situation:</p><p>First expand the money supply and encourage debt; then contract the money supply, and strip those who cannot find a chair (when that proverbial music stops) of their assets. <strong>The game is elegant in its simplicity, and diabolical in design</strong>. No surprise of course, these characters have been at it for thousands of years — since Jesus got pissed off and kicked those moneylenders out of the temple. All these years later we are really no wiser (it would seem). The moneylenders / money creators must belly laugh over their cigars every time they pull this off, and here we are again. That old ‘capital adequacy’ (0% reserve) system (introduced 1991-1994) is no longer ‘adequate’ (the <em>capital</em> is no longer adequate that is) because <em>who knows</em> the <em>real value</em> of anything anymore, starting with the dollar?</p><p><strong>A new system is coming in </strong>(must come in), whether we like it or not. We hear conservatives everywhere today, repeat the same solutions to this problem: <strong>“balance the budget and pay off the debt.”</strong> This wasn’t an option, even in the <em>old</em> fractional reserve system, because Ponzi Schemes, as a friend at the Isle of Man Treasury once told me, “eventually hit the wall.”</p><p>Calling out this fact is undoubtedly going to ruffle a few feathers, since balancing budgets, and paying off debts (in most situations) isn’t a bad idea — and most conscientious people will see this is a prudent idea. <strong>But the system is not designed this way.</strong> In a debt-based money system, the money <em>is</em> debt. More precisely, the money is backed by debt — mostly bonds and other government securities. If all the debt were to be paid off, there would be no money in circulation. Further to this, deficits are new money coming into circulation (or they should be). <em>Too much </em>money has been created, misallocated and/or misappropriated. There is certainly wasteful spending, and bloated bureaucracies too, all of which should be cut, but these are a separate issues. For now we must stay focused on the nature of our monetary system.</p><p>As our friend, the 21st Century <a href="https://understandingcanada.ca/">Adam Smith</a> always says: the economy is like a car with no brakes. You can accelerate and change direction a little — but there’s no slowing down, and there’s no stopping (in this analogy too) until you hit a wall (or steer into the guardrail). Kate Raworth, in her <em>Doughnut Economics: 7 Ways to Think Like a 21st Century Economist</em>, uses the analogy of an aircraft that has taken off, but has no plan to land: ‘locked on autopilot, expecting to cruise at around 3% growth forever.’ If that 3% can’t be maintained, we have a problem; and we have a problem anyway, as eventually the dead weight of all this accumulating debt makes it impossible to maintain altitude.</p><p>Until 2020, most of the money circulated was created by commercial banks, in the form of loans. I’ve shared the graphic below before, from the Bank of Canada.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F931a07ac-2d56-48ce-b70b-e5aa0075f86e_749x256.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F931a07ac-2d56-48ce-b70b-e5aa0075f86e_749x256.jpeg" width="749" height="256" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/931a07ac-2d56-48ce-b70b-e5aa0075f86e_749x256.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":256,"width":749,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"","title":null,"type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>If you check <em>The</em> <em><a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/banking">Canadian Encyclopedia</a></em><a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/banking">’s</a> page on banking, the first paragraph (and the first line here) will give you the impression that banks lend out deposits, however:</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ccb0163-62b7-401d-bf5e-3d814d2a6d36_750x105.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ccb0163-62b7-401d-bf5e-3d814d2a6d36_750x105.png" width="750" height="105" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5ccb0163-62b7-401d-bf5e-3d814d2a6d36_750x105.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":105,"width":750,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"","title":null,"type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>From the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, <em><a href="https://archive.org/details/modern-money-mechanics">Modern Money Mechanics</a></em> Publication:</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd71cddf7-2477-4c0e-95bb-7dd733cf547f_749x104.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd71cddf7-2477-4c0e-95bb-7dd733cf547f_749x104.png" width="749" height="104" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d71cddf7-2477-4c0e-95bb-7dd733cf547f_749x104.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":104,"width":749,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"","title":null,"type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The commercial banks too create money ‘out of thin air,’ just like central banks, but central banks always get the blame when there’s too much money sloshing around in the economy and inflation becomes a concern. The trend of commercial bank created money accelerated (encouraged by falling interest rates) from the 2008 Great Financial Crisis until 2020, when ‘emergency’ money created by <em>central banks</em> flooded the world’s economies. Since interest rates have risen (although this was coming anyway), commercial bank money can no longer be created <em>in sufficient amounts</em> to keep the bubble inflated, so central banks must continue their money creation. I explained this in more detail in my <em><strong><a href="https://wdavidward.substack.com/p/monetary-machinations">Monetary Machinations</a></strong></em> Substack. To see a graphic representation of this, please revisit the above page (scroll to bottom).</p><p>We are in a ‘debt trap’ of course. It can play out in various ways, and be extended to some degree, but there isn’t an easy way out of this. The government’s preference will (as always) be an attempt to inflate the debt away. Hence, those recent, token, interest rate reductions; but we’re talking about <em>unprecedented</em> amounts of debt now, and an alternative plan is required. This is why central banks and governments have been talking about Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). I’ve written a lot about this already (if you want to check some of my earlier Substack posts).</p><p>It’s going to be difficult to clear balance sheets of the massive amounts of money that have already been created. Assets have been inflated in price, but the money used to purchase them doesn’t actually exist now. This is what the financialisation of our economy had done, and a major revaluation will likely be required. So <em>there is</em> a way forward, which will seem unpalatable to some, but no more unpalatable (I’m sure) than the alternatives being put forward by those BIS and WEF authoritarians, who lust for absolute control over your life.</p><p><strong>We must take a trip back into history now, to see how this system evolved.</strong> If you feel your eyelids getting heavy at this point, and your mind is suddenly drifting off, you’ve probably been conditioned to respond this way. It’s the reason monetary reformers everywhere have so much trouble communicating these ideas. One day I must write a piece on this phenomena. Sometimes is almost seems like a kind of <strong>black magic</strong>, and if you read the history of those old banking families, that actually wouldn’t be surprising. <strong>For now, suffice it to say, the powers that be would rather you didn’t think about this subject at all. </strong>So grab another cup of coffee, and stay with me 🙂</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1bea62c5-8f9c-42f4-a893-32d1062a33f6_749x422.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1bea62c5-8f9c-42f4-a893-32d1062a33f6_749x422.jpeg" width="749" height="422" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1bea62c5-8f9c-42f4-a893-32d1062a33f6_749x422.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":422,"width":749,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h6>‘Bonded Labour.’ Feudal serfs and their ‘tax farmer’ in the fields — What’s old is new again, and I like the hoodie. Just for laughs, here’s a look at an alternative model, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7qT-C-0ajI">anarcho-syndicalist commune</a> — Monty Python.</h6><p><strong>Coins, of course, date back thousands of years</strong>, to the silver “Shekel of the Sanctuary”<strong> </strong>and beyond. This ‘commodity’ money was originally a material with <em>inherent</em> value, and its form has hardly changed in 3000 years. But we must skip over this interesting early history, to the second millennia, with its tally sticks, and the first bonds. Bonds, in fact, replaced the ‘stock’ and ‘stub’ (foil) ‘tally stick’ system that has been used (successfully) since they were introduced by King Henry I in the 1100s. This system (of wooden sticks with notches cut in them, split down the middle) was so effective it functioned right up until 1826. Tallies were largely supplanted though, during the reign of Charles I and Charles II in the mid-1600s, with the introduction of bonds, which, soon thereafter, led to paper money. Perhaps the most interesting point here is the transition from private money (with coin), to public money with tally sticks (created by the crown), to bonds (which represented private money borrowed by the crown). Coins were not debt, tally sticks were not debt — one was a commodity, the other <em>represented</em> a commodity — but bonds <em>were</em> debt.</p><p>To quote from Christine Desans’ <em>Making Money: Coin, Currency and the Coming of Capitalism</em> (pg 235):</p><blockquote><p><strong>‘[R]efracted through the new and oddly narrowing lens of liberalism, coin looked more like commodity, pure and private, than it ever had before. As to tallies, their demise generated the conditions for a new kind of circulating credit: government bonds traveled hand to hand as had the older tallies but [they] bore interest from the beginning and operated to borrow money instead of compensating people for illiquid resources and services.’</strong></p></blockquote><p>She continues:</p><blockquote><p><strong>‘Bonds offered unprecedented opportunity to reach a large pool of popular lenders. The Change would make investors out of a broad swath of citizenry for the first time. Bonds also furnished the English with a new kind of liquidity: circulating credit that the government paid individuals to hold.’</strong></p></blockquote><p>It is true that the private Bank of England was founded on a subscription model (an original £1.2 million pounds in gold) paying 8% to the first 1268 investors, but bonds would allow for much greater participation in this process. The important thing here is that banking, at this stage, was more about attracting already existing ‘wealth’ (usually in the form on gold and silver) from ‘investors.’ Gold and silver, as commodities, did not pay interest; but now, as ‘money stock’ (backing for the new paper money) they could. The same could be said for tally sticks, which in the end were absorbed and phased out (in part) as a component of the initial funding of the Bank of England.</p><p>Without getting too far into the details of this evolution, tallies, in effect, became ‘Tallyes of loan,’ which were ultimately replaced by ‘Treasury Orders,’ and these early ‘bonds’ circulated as a kind of paper money. They were not quite money, because they could not be cashed on demand, but these ‘private bonds’ led to ‘Promises to Pay’ a ‘fiduciary instrument’ that really was paper money (and even, in the original form, paid interest dividends).</p><p>This paper money became separated from the underlying bond however, to circulate (publicly) while the bond still represented a private contractual agreement, paying interest to its owner. Tax revenue made possible by economic activity stimulated <em>by</em> new money in circulation (in one form or another) guaranteed interest on the bonds.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1db4cab2-0fd6-48b1-982d-1d8599555fd2_749x313.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1db4cab2-0fd6-48b1-982d-1d8599555fd2_749x313.jpeg" width="749" height="313" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1db4cab2-0fd6-48b1-982d-1d8599555fd2_749x313.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":313,"width":749,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"","title":null,"type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><strong>Anyone reading this far will likely know the introduction of income tax in the United States, through the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913, made the private, for-profit Federal Reserve (founded that same year) a viable business venture. </strong>The ability of the government to levy taxes in this manner (and on a permanent basis) is what made it possible to pay the 6% dividend on shares in the Fed (to this day), held by its member banks. These shares (which you and I cannot own) represent the capitalization, ‘the stock’ – the ‘base money’ — upon which this enterprise is based. The Fed (in the U.S. at least) is why taxes, which were not needed before, now can never go away. It is also the reason the debt is as large as it is, in the U.S., and almost everywhere else in the world.</p><h4><strong>So how do we turn this around?</strong></h4><p><strong>Some might say</strong> ‘<strong>nationalize the banks’</strong> and ‘<strong>monetize the debt</strong>.’</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F48cd3dff-1cab-4989-b093-7f6718c7266a_670x393.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F48cd3dff-1cab-4989-b093-7f6718c7266a_670x393.jpeg" width="670" height="393" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/48cd3dff-1cab-4989-b093-7f6718c7266a_670x393.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":393,"width":670,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"","title":null,"type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>This has been done in various places, with central banks too. The Bank of England, was nationalized in 1946 and the Bank of Canada in 1938. Did this help. We’ll yes, arguably, for a time. Central Banks shouldn’t be privately owned, but if the public doesn’t understand the basics of how the system works, these banks are still likely to work against the peoples’ interests (public or private), led by the <em>private</em> Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the <em>private</em> Federal Reserve.</p><p>When you hear someone say, usually with a note of disapproval,<strong> </strong><em><strong>they’re going to monetize the debt</strong></em>; you might reply, <strong>the </strong><em><strong>debt is already monetized. That’s what our money is: debt.</strong> </em>What they mean by this though, is that instead of banks purchasing and holding the interest-paying debt (in the form government bonds and securities), these will be held by the central bank. I explained some of these technicalities already: <em><strong><a href="https://wdavidward.substack.com/p/monetary-machinations">Monetary Machinations</a></strong></em>.</p><p>What politicians need to know (if they plan to do the right thing) is that there will be immediate repercussions for trying to do <em>two things</em> that are effectively impossible to do. Even cutting the ‘deadwood’ in government bureaucracy will yield apparent savings at first, but the wages that are cut, represents money that now isn’t circulating in the economy. Of course, those who are dismissed from their government jobs will not be happy with the administration that does this. Others will be effected though as their business slows, in time, because of fewer dollars circulating. These people might feel the government is on the right course (<em>and it would be</em>), but if things get tougher, the government in power <em>will</em> take the blame<strong>. . . DOGE Days Trailer:</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>“<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmleMzR5CcY">There’s a whole forest of deadwood out there, we’ve gotta get chopping, buddy!</a>”</strong></p></blockquote><p>No politician can fix this problem without <em>systemic</em> change — without <em>real monetary reform</em>. The Ponzi Scheme is too far along and the only real question now is: can the old system be unwound without a collapse? Politicians don’t understand the current system at all (apparently), and they certainly don’t have the knowledge to design a replacement. <strong>So again, this falls to the people</strong>, because politicians will, for obvious reasons, let their banker friends design the new system; and you don’t have to be a genius to guess <em>who </em>will benefit from the system these folk come up with.</p><p><strong>As I’ve said before, the monetary system is going to be reformed; if we don’t demand a system that works for us, we’ll be given another system, that works for the bankers.</strong></p><p>A great example of a now popular politician who doesn’t understand the monetary system, is Javier Milei. First he was going to use the U.S. dollar, then he was going to use Bitcoin, then he invited in BlackRock (following through on the invitation extended in Davos). Every one of these monetary ‘plans’ serve only to undermine the sovereignty of the nation. He was going to cut, cut, cut. (<strong>“</strong><em><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QejTtxekdTw">afuera, afuera, afuera</a>”</strong></em>). This got him into power, and this is what he’s been doing, but Milei’s earlier <em>monetary</em> plans (to have even suggested these options) shows he has little to no understanding of money mechanics. BlackRock, however, brings in capital that will mask the impact of his other policies (for a time), and make it seem as if he’s doing a great job; but the multinationals are there for one reason: to extract a profit.</p><p>In that <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z44XP4u9Xs">speech to the WEF</a></strong> in Davos, Milei looked all bad ass and in command — telling those socialists off — but then pleaded for the WEF member multinationals to come to Argentina. This was all theatre of course, and the nation is now pretty much own by BlackRock (if it wasn’t already). This isn’t a victory, it is another neoliberal coup, in the place where neoliberalism was born (<strong><a href="https://wdavidward.substack.com/p/neoliberalism">neoliberalism Part I</a></strong>); except that neoliberalism has morphed into something else now. Since the late 70s, early 80s, neoliberalism served elite well. As the money supply was expanded, and business activity artificially stimulated, <em>real</em> wealth was extracted by means of the offshore banking world — which also sprang up, in earnest, in the late 70s and early 80s. This isn’t a coincidence; these Offshore Financial Centres (IFCs) are an essential component of the neoliberal scheme. But this is a separate story, to which I must return later.</p><p>The system BlackRock is bringing in now is technocracy — ‘techno-feudalism’ might be a more appropriate description. You’ve heard those WEF control-freaks talk about their vision of the future for so long now, and you’ve also heard Larry Fink describe how he sees it working. I’ve shared the Larry <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSVpth7uqb4">Fink link</a> before. Capitalism is in the process of destroying itself (with its own capital), as Marx said it would.</p><h4>So what do we do?</h4><p>We can’t pay off the debt (there isn’t enough money in existence) and yet we must get rid of the debt. <em>Now there’s a conundrum</em>. The debt shackles us, but also, a lot of people depend (directly or indirectly) on the interest from bonds. Anyone who owns bonds at the moment (and must now hold them to maturity to avoid selling at a discount) certainly doesn’t want to see bonds defaulted on. We must return to this too.</p><p>The bond in itself isn’t a problem, but a system built on bonds is; depending on who owns them, and what they do with them. Bonds denominated in other currencies can be a big problem (because of changes in the relative value of these currencies), bonds held by foreign countries too (because they ultimately extract wealth from economies). Unless you have the world reserve currency, like the U.S. (for the moment), you are subject bond vigilantes who can control nations by controlling their bonds (as Rothschild first cornered the British bond market after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815).</p><p>Syndicates of lenders organized as early as 1640, and still exist, buying, among other things, municipal debt; which now feels a little like getting a loan from the mob. Bonds held by banks are particularly problematic, as they facilitate the multiplying up of money, while they draw wealth out of the economy <em>in two ways</em>: as dividends collected on the underlying bond, then as interest received from loans issued. Recently a third way was added, when banks started to be paid interest on reserves at the central bank (again, I talked about this in <strong><a href="https://wdavidward.substack.com/p/bank-heist">Bank Heist</a></strong>).</p><p>Importantly, the interest extracted from loan payments becomes, in a sense, tangible; it becomes permanent (some use the expression ‘everlasting’ money). This is added to the bank’s profit (and capital stock); while the loan itself (which was issued as ephemeral bank ‘fiat’ money) is written off the books as the loan is paid back. This ‘money’ actually disappears; money creation, money destruction. <strong>The end result of creating money ‘out of thin air’ is that, ultimately, all real value gradually accrues to the banks</strong> — in the form of interest, at the current rate of interest.</p><p>The banks (and those in the know) do not sit on cash, they convert it into hard assets, or purchase more bonds — upon which more ephemeral money can be ‘spirited’ into existence, just long enough to extract <em>more</em> real ‘sovereign’ money from the economy. As a result, at the end of the neoliberal period, we have asset bubbles in all areas, real estate especially, and not enough money in circulation for everyday people.</p><p>Clearly, I’ve only scratched the surface here, and I cannot present all of the possible solutions in one short, introductory post, but let me quote once more (for now) from <em>Making Money</em>. As Tallies diminished under Charles I,<strong> they ‘were quickly converted. . . into a liquid advance; they acted as a request or channel for a money loan rather than as a method of creating a non-interest-bearing public credit currency.’</strong></p><p>I am not advocating a return of tally sticks of course, but I would suggest the return of <strong>non-interest-bearing public credit currency</strong>, and a system that could (hopefully) endure for centuries — to keep the moneylenders / money creators at bay. It was Henry I who began the dismantling of feudalism with his <strong>Charter of Liberties</strong> (forerunner of the Magna Carta), and a democratic money (as Christine Desan would call it) is essential if we are not to descend, nearly a thousand years later, into technocratic <em>neofeudalism</em>. How fitting that <em>our</em> new money should be inspired at least by that Great <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_I_of_England">Plantagenet King</a> (if not <em>of</em> the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_York">House of York</a>, <em>from </em>the<em> </em>House of York) and his enduring ideas around the subject of money.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd1717eea-e63e-4518-89ed-d9508f20ca7d_749x361.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd1717eea-e63e-4518-89ed-d9508f20ca7d_749x361.jpeg" width="749" height="361" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d1717eea-e63e-4518-89ed-d9508f20ca7d_749x361.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":361,"width":749,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"","title":null,"type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h6><strong><a href="https://auctions.cngcoins.com/lots/view/4-9K4DVX/norman-henry-i-1100-1135-ar-penny-21mm-139-g-10h-double-inscription-type-bmc-xi-hereford-mint-ravenswert-moneyer-struck-circa-1115-vf">Henry I. </a></strong><a href="https://auctions.cngcoins.com/lots/view/4-9K4DVX/norman-henry-i-1100-1135-ar-penny-21mm-139-g-10h-double-inscription-type-bmc-xi-hereford-mint-ravenswert-moneyer-struck-circa-1115-vf">1100-1135.

These folk would be happy to lend their money at interest, and profit from our collective labour. In part, this is what those public-private partnerships are all about, but there’s an easy solution to this. As monetary reformers everywhere have said, many times before, a monetarily sovereign nation does not need to borrow it’s own money, and pay interest on this money, when it has the ability to create it’s own money. This is pure folly.</p><p>There would still be a roll for bonds of course, as they once existed — for specific projects — whereby investor’s money could serve a <em>productive</em> purpose. They should not be used to enable a private currency (as in the giant public-private partnership that is our system now); benefiting a few, invisibly, at the expense of the many, and enriching the bankers beyond measure. The people who once pretended to be capitalists, misused capital, destroying capitalism in order to bring in a strange technocratic fusion of communism and fascism.</p><p>An honest, <em>sound money</em> is required, if capitalism and democracy are to survive. There are so many alternative models and variations on themes to explore, and now is the time for monetary reformers (<em>who have essentially been talking to themselves for the past few decades</em>) to be front and centre. If we are not actually part of the conversation, we’re going to get whatever crazy scheme the technocrats can dream up to keep us all in bondage.</p><p>I hope you’ve enjoyed this very brief the history of money, and I look forward to continuing this conversation. Thank you for your continuing interest, and support.</p>

But au contraire, the secessionist movement can be traced back to ‘northerners’, to New England, and to a failed so-called ‘federalist’ Timothy Pickering – Colonel, Senator, and former Secretary of State, who was part of the ‘Essex Junto’ - that Anglophile faction of slave-traders and opium-traders of Newburyport and Salem, Massachusetts (as told so well by Anton Chaitkin in ‘Treason in America’).

There will be – and our children at farthest will see it – a separation. The white and black population will mark the boundary. <strong>The British Provinces, even with the assent of Britain, will become members of the Northern confederacy</strong> …’</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>[Timothy Pickering’s letter to Richard Peters on December 24<sup>th</sup> 1803.]</p></blockquote><p>To find out where this treasonous plot to break up the American Union came from, one must look back in time, to the election year of 1800 – and to the election for president of the United States.</p><p>In the previous election in 1796, John Adams had been elected president by a mere three votes over Thomas Jefferson, as the ‘federalist’ party had swept the New England states, plus Delaware, New Jersey and New York. Jefferson and his ‘republican’ party supporters set out to win the next presidential election – by winning over New York to their side.</p><p>This unholy alliance of Virginia and New York – of Thomas Jefferson and George Clinton – was consummated in 1791. In May and June of that year, Jefferson and James Madison took a trip to northern New York state – supposedly to study the local flora and fauna (!?!) but, in reality, they went there to meet with Robert Livingston, George Clinton and Aaron Burr – to seek their support in opposing the policies of the Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. Livingston and Clinton would join forces to defeat Philip Schuyler, Hamilton’s father-in-law, and to elect Burr as the next United States Senator from New York.</p><p>Also, while on their trip to New York, Madison and Jefferson met with Madison’s former college room-mate at Princeton, Philip Freneau, to convince him to come to Philadelphia and launch a newspaper - the <em>National Gazette</em>, that would express their mutual fear and detestation of Hamilton’s attempt to shape the federal government, by attacking Hamilton’s policies as ‘British’ and ‘monarchist’ – the same policies that Madison had earlier agreed on with Hamilton, during the Constitutional Convention in 1787!!!</p><p>It was also during that summer of 1791 (quite suspiciously) that Hamilton became seduced into having an affair with Maria Reynolds – James Reynolds had been renting his stylish wife to various gentlemen, and then blackmailing them. Mrs. Reynolds would later file for divorce from her husband, hiring Burr as her lawyer!</p><p>Six years later, in July 1797, James Callender would publish documents that implicated Hamilton in this affair, but he would charge that Hamilton, with James Reynolds’s help, was speculating on government securities for his own personal gain. Hamilton almost fought a duel with James Monroe over Hamilton’s suspicion that Monroe was implicated in the leaking of these documents to Callender.</p><p>Hamilton wrote a pamphlet ‘<em>to place before the public an exact detail of the affair in all its circumstances accompanied with the written documents which explain unequivocally its true nature</em>’. While Hamilton was willing to sacrifice the reputation of his private life, he fought to preserve his public honor and the integrity of President Washington and his administration – identifying his true enemy as ‘<em>the Jacobin Scandal Club</em>’.</p><p>In regards to the presidential electors of 1800, the Constitution gave each state the right to choose its own method for selecting its presidential electors – Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina and Tennessee chose their electors by voters in each district; Rhode Island and Virginia chose their electors by voters statewide; all other states (including New York) had their state legislature appoint their electors.</p><p>On May 1<sup>st</sup> 1800, elections were held for the state legislature in New York. Hamilton organized the ‘federalist’ ticket, while Burr organized the ‘republican’ ticket, using an efficient political machinery to win – the Saint Tammany’s Society.</p><p>Burr felt that if he could deliver New York into the ‘republican’ camp, it would ruin Adams’s chance for re-election and throw the outcome to Jefferson – <strong>and</strong> Burr could parlay that feat into a claim for second spot on the ‘republican’ ballot under Jefferson. Burr had been on the ballot in 1796, but was 1 of 3 ‘republican’ candidates, receiving only 30 votes.</p><p>After 3 days of balloting, the ‘republicans’ had swept the city of New York, and now controlled the state legislature, while the ‘federalists’ still controlled the state senate. But the ‘republican’ gains were enough to give them a majority of the combined houses – <em>by one vote</em> – that would allow them to choose all 12 of the (‘republican’) presidential electors. Jefferson could now count on 12 electoral votes from New York, where he had received none in the 1796 election.</p><p>For the upcoming presidential election, the ‘federalist’ party had previously agreed that all of their Electors would vote for John Adams and for Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, except that one Elector in Rhode Island would vote for Adams and John Jay, and thus avoid a tie vote (between Adams and Pinckney).</p><p>Jefferson had been assured that one Elector in South Carolina would cast a vote for George Clinton instead of Burr – ensuring that Jefferson would have one more vote than Burr. But somehow (?!?) this did not happen.</p><p><strong>Note: </strong>One wonders if this had anything to do with the future governor of South Carolina, Joseph Alston, who was one of the wealthiest planters in South Carolina, and who would soon marry Burr’s daughter, Theodosia.</p><p>And while the ‘republicans’ defeated the ‘federalists’ in the presidential election, Jefferson and Burr were tied in the number of their electoral votes.</p><p>According to the original Constitution (before the twelfth amendment), the Electors of each state were to meet and cast two votes for two persons – not having to show which vote was for president and which vote was for vice-president. When the Senate met to tally these votes, the person having the greatest number of votes would be the president, and the person with the next greatest number of votes would be the vice-president – the framers of the constitution had not foreseen the rise of parties or factions in the presidential elections. And also, according to the Constitution, in case of a tie vote, the election would be decided by the House of Representatives – as each state would cast one vote, and a majority of states (at least 9 votes) would be needed to elect a president.</p><p>But this election would be decided by the outgoing House of Representatives (where the ‘federalists’ had a majority) and not by the incoming House of Representatives (where the ‘republicans’ had a majority). On the first ballot taken, the votes of 8 states were given for Jefferson, the votes of 6 states for Burr, and the votes of 2 states were equally divided – as ‘disgruntled federalists’, in their disgust at the thought of Jefferson becoming president, preferred an alliance with Burr.</p><p>Hamilton wrote letters to his ‘federalist’ friends urging them that although he strongly disagreed with Jefferson’s economic and foreign policies, he was infinitely preferable to Burr.</p><p>Finally, on the 36<sup>th</sup> ballot, the ‘federalist’ members in the states of Delaware and South Carolina abstained, taking their votes away from Burr, and the ‘federalist’ members in the (tied) states of Vermont and Maryland abstained, giving their votes to Jefferson. Hamilton’s work in stopping Burr had finally succeeded, and Jefferson became President!</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><blockquote><p><strong>Note:</strong> Hamilton’s distrust of Burr originated in Hamilton’s life-long admiration and dedicated defence of General Washington. When General Washington court-martialled General Lee in 1778, Burr wrote a letter to the court-martial defending Lee, and he became associated with a minority of the officers who disliked and disparaged General Washington’s ability and leadership. In November 1783, after the British had finally evacuated New York, General Washington said farewell to his officers – but Burr was not invited to attend the event. In December 1783, when General Washington was elected President of the Society of the Cincinnati, some officers refused to join – including Burr. In 1798, during the Quasi-war with France, Burr was nominated as brigadier-general, but was rejected by General Washington who considered him as too prone to intrigue. General Washington may also have heard the rumors of Burr’s private opinion of him as ‘a man of no talents’ who ‘could not spell a sentence of common English’.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><blockquote><p>But, because Burr did not withdraw from the contest and concede the election to Jefferson, he lost any confidence he might have had with Jefferson, and any influence he might wish to have within his administration – and also, he knew that he would not become a future ‘republican’ candidate for vice-president (or for president).</p><p>In June 1802, the Clinton faction of the ‘republican’ party in New York turned against their former ally, and published a pamphlet ‘<em>A View of the Political Conduct of Aaron Burr</em>’, accusing Burr of having secretly schemed to steal the presidential election away from Jefferson in 1800, and of plotting to gain ‘federalist’ support to run against Jefferson in 1804. This was done to ostracize him from the party and also, to secure the future ‘republican’ vice-presidential nomination for Clinton.</p><p>The ‘federalist’ party had continuously opposed the policies of President Jefferson, but especially opposed the purchase of Louisiana in 1803 – fearing that this acquisition would shift the balance of power away from the northern ‘federalist’ states.</p><p>A number of New England ‘federalists’ in Congress, called the ‘Essex Junto’, disillusioned from their defeat over ratification of the Louisiana treaty, and with no hope of the ‘federalists’ regaining the presidency, began discussing the idea of the northern states seceding from the Union. But, for their plan to work they needed the support from New York and so, they sought out the participation of Burr as part of their treasonous plan. With ‘federalist’ support, Burr would run for governor of New York, against the ‘republican’ candidate, and with his victory, Burr could then throw New York behind New England’s secession plot.</p><p>Proof of the participation of Burr in the plot is seen in an excerpt from the journal of Senator William Plumer (New Hampshire). In the winter of 1803-04, Pickering, Hillhouse and Plumer dined with Burr, and Hillhouse ‘<em>unequivocally declared that it was his opinion that the United States would soon form two distinct governments</em>’; and ‘<em>Burr conversed very freely on the subject … and the impression made on his mind was, that Burr not only thought a separation would not only take place but that it was necessary</em>’.</p><p>Proof is also seen in the following letters from Senator Timothy Pickering:</p><blockquote><p>(to George Cabot, January 29<sup>th</sup> 1804) – “But when and how is a separation to be effected? … (if) federalism is crumbling away in New England, there is no time to be lost, lest it should be overwhelmed, and become unable to attempt its own relief. Its last refuge is New England; and immediate exertion, perhaps, its only hope. It must begin in Massachusetts. The proposition would be welcomed in Connecticut; and could we doubt of New Hampshire? But New York must be associated; and how is her concurrence to be obtained? She must be made the centre of the confederacy. Vermont and New Jersey would follow of course, and Rhode Island of necessity …</p></blockquote><blockquote><p><strong>We suppose the British Provinces in Canada and Nova Scotia, at no remote period, perhaps without delay, and with the assent of Great Britain, may become members of the Northern League</strong>. Certainly, that government can feel only disgust at our present rulers. She will be pleased to see them crestfallen. She will not regret the proposed division of empire. If with her own consent she relinquishes her provinces, she will be rid of the charge of maintaining them; while she will derive from them, as she does from us, all the commercial returns which her merchants now receive. A liberal treaty of amity and commerce will form a bond of union between Great Britain and the Northern confederacy highly useful to both …”</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>(to Rufus King, March 4<sup>th</sup> 1804) – “The Federalists here in general anxiously desire the election of Mr. Burr to the chair of New York; for they despair of a present ascendancy of the Federal party. Mr. Burr alone, we think, can break your Democratic phalanx; and we anticipate much good from his success. Were New York detached (as under his administration it would be) from the Virginia influence, the whole Union would be benefited. Jefferson would then be forced to observe some caution and forbearance in his measures. And, if a separation should be deemed proper, the five New England States, New York, and New Jersey would naturally be united. Among those seven states, there is a sufficient congeniality of character to authorize the expectation of practicable harmony and a permanent union, New York the centre ...”</p></blockquote><p>It must also be seen that Pickering would not have openly asserted that Britain would assent to ceding her North American colonies to a northern confederacy, unless he had prior assurances that this would occur. It must be assumed that the meetings among the New England congressmen (beginning no later than December 1803) must have included Anthony Merry, the British minister to the United States.</p><p>However, Hamilton had stood out from the majority of his own party when he supported the Louisiana purchase, although he attributed it to pure luck on the part of Jefferson –</p><blockquote><p>“Every man, however, possessed of the least candor and reflection will readily acknowledge that the acquisition has been solely owing to a <strong>fortuitous concurrence of unforeseen and unexpected circumstances</strong>, and not to any wise or vigorous measures on the part of the American Government.”</p></blockquote><p>He had also spoken out against the campaign of Burr for governor, that</p><blockquote><p>“Col. Burr has steadily pursued the track of democratic policies. This he has done either from principle or from calculation. If the former he is not likely now to change his plan, when the federalists are prostrate and their enemies predominant. If the latter, he will certainly not at this time relinquish the ladder of his ambition and espouse the cause or views of the weaker party ...”</p></blockquote><p>And he touched on his real reason for opposing Burr – his fear of secession of New England from the Union, that</p><blockquote><p>“the ill opinion of Jefferson and jealousy of the ambition of Virginia is no inconsiderable prop of good principles in that country. <strong>But these causes are leading to an opinion that a dismemberment of the Union is expedient</strong>. It would probably suit Mr. Burr’s views to promote this result to be the chief of the northern portion and, placed at the head of the state of New York, no man would be more likely to succeed.”</p></blockquote><p>In the New York election for governor on April 24<sup>th</sup> – 26<sup>th</sup>, Burr carried New York City, but he could not carry the northern counties of the state, losing the election – with 28,000 votes to 35,000 votes for Morgan Lewis, the ‘republican’ candidate. Hamilton’s work had again stopped Burr from succeeding, and the threat of northern secession was set back, for now.</p><p>But this secessionist plot was to become the future plan of the British Empire for Canada – to use Canada as part of the plan to split the United States. The British Empire was in favour of a confederation of the northern states into Canada – but not the other way around – not of the annexation of Canada into the American Union.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><blockquote><p>[next week - chapter 2 - Canada and the Threat of Western Secession ]</p></blockquote><h5><em><strong>For those who may wish to support my continuing work on ‘The Unveiling of Canadian History’, you may purchase my books, that are available as PDFs and Paperback (on Amazon) at the <a href="https://canadianpatriot.org/gerry-therriens-history-files/">Canadian Patriot Review </a>:</strong></em></h5><ul><li><p><em>Volume 1 – The Approaching Conflict, 1753 – 1774.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Volume 2 – Forlorn Hope – Quebec and Nova Scotia, and the War for Independence, 1775 – 1785.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Volume 3 – The Storming of Hell – the War for the Territory Northwest of the Ohio, 1786 – 1796.</em></p></li></ul><h5><em><strong>And hopefully,</strong></em></h5><ul><li><p><em>Volume 4 – Ireland, Haiti, and Louisiana – the Idea of a Continental Republic, 1797 – 1804,</em></p></li></ul><h5><em>may also appear in print, in the near future, while I continue to work on :</em></h5><ul><li><p><em>Volume 5 – On the Trail of the Treasonous, 1804 - 1814.</em></p></li></ul><h5><strong>Merci, et amusez-vous, mes amis.</strong></h5>

<p>The sequence of  events that took place during the last few months of this year, including the presidential elections in the United States and the war in Syria overshadowed important developments in the news cycle, especially on the economic front. One of them is the approaching collapse of Great Britain. </p><p>I believe that we are close to the precipice of events that will remain recorded in history, perhaps like the 1921 Weimar republic hyperinflation, 1929 stock market crash, or the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The events will cause a lot of pain for great many people, but if we correctly anticipate them and prepare for the coming changes, at the very least we should be able to weather the storm intact.</p><p>About three months ago, on 26 August I published an article titled “<a href="https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/the-coming-collapse-of-britain">The coming collapse of Britain</a>.” If you missed it, give it a scan as it sets the backdrop to this report. During this year’s summer months, British ruling establishment appeared to be in a panic over Ukraine’s imminent military defeat and her debt default. Britain has invested quite massively in project Ukraine, which now looks like a failed investment. </p><p>Indeed, on 27 August, only one day after I published that article, Prime Minister <strong>Keir</strong> <strong>Starmer</strong> gave a <a href="https://x.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1828356735436013697">speech in the Downing Street garden</a>, in which he disclosed that there was a “£22 billion black hole in the public finances.” Supposedly, his government only discovered this once they came to power. By “black hole,” Starmer was referring to the government’s unfunded liabilities.</p><h2>Catastrophic fiscal conditions</h2><p>To prepare the nation for more bad news, the Prime Minister announced that the October 30 budget would be “painful.” Well, October 30 is behind us and now we know. When the news broke, Deutsche Bank’s analyst <strong>Sanjay Raja</strong> characterized the budget as, “one of the largest fiscal loosening of any fiscal event in decades.” In the post-war years it was only surpassed in 2020 due to the Covid 19 lockdowns. </p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4404eb03-4b35-4860-bea3-42fb56ff6186_574x367.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4404eb03-4b35-4860-bea3-42fb56ff6186_574x367.png" width="574" height="367" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4404eb03-4b35-4860-bea3-42fb56ff6186_574x367.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":367,"width":574,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":93351,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":false,"topImage":true,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" fetchpriority="high" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The new budget adds £142 billion in new debt, which the government expects to raise in capital markets. But the sheer amount of the planned borrowing took the markets by surprise. As it turns out, Britain’s gross financing needs are double what market analysts had expected.</p><p>The painful side to the budget which Mr. Starmer promised will come not only in terms of savage austerity imposed on society’s most vulnerable groups but also in terms of £40 billion in new taxes. The burden of these new taxes will fall largely on British employers, which will in turn hurt the working people. Ultimately, it will also hurt the government. In suffocating the economy, the government will only widen the gap between public spending and its tax receipts. Britain is already running one of the world’s largest budget deficits. Bloomberg’s analyst <strong>Simon White</strong> had a point when he judged the fiscal picture in Britain as catastrophic.</p><h2>Lipstick on a pig</h2><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F269a3098-e950-4f3a-aff1-05664394bd8a_771x332.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F269a3098-e950-4f3a-aff1-05664394bd8a_771x332.png" width="771" height="332" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/269a3098-e950-4f3a-aff1-05664394bd8a_771x332.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":332,"width":771,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":137684,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption data-sanitized-class="image-caption">OBR: Office of Budget Responsibility and airbrushing Britain’s finances.</figcaption></figure></div><p>UK’s Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) applied lipstick on the proverbial pig with some suspiciously rosy-looking forecasts. They projected that the government’s budget deficits will stay at around 2.5% through 2029. Inflation will stay perfectly under control, peaking at 2.6% in 2025 and then gradually fall back to 2% by 2029. The OBR also revised Britain’s 2024 GDP growth rate to 1.1%, up from 0.8% in March. In 2025, the GDP growth will soar to 2%.</p><h2>Reality begs to differ</h2><p>But the government might be a bit optimistic with all these figures. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently downgraded Britain’s economic prospects. They predicted that in 2024, the UK will have the worst performing economy among all the G7 nations with an expected growth of only 0.4%, not 1.1%; and 1% in 2025, not 2%.</p><p>But as it now turns out, even the OECD was much too optimistic.

If the capital markets embraced this bold 21st century financial innovation, all governments, companies and individuals around the world might want to follow suit.</p><p>If you've maxed out all your credit cards, additional borrowing headroom could be just a simple matter of identity politics. You could declare your debt an asset and perfectly good collateral at that, and progressive creditors should have to respect and honor your choices.

The so-called mini-budget shocked the markets with £45 billion in unfunded spending commitments. There’s “only” £32 billion in unfunded commitments in the current budget, but there are a few reasons why the situation today could be much worse than what Britain was facing in 2022. </p><p>Back then, Britain was not yet as heavily invested in the wars in Ukraine and in Israel. In 2022, many people believed that Ukraine would prevail. This is no longer the case today. Also, in the summer of 2022, the interest rates on 10-year gilts were well below 3%. Today they’re over 4.5% and rising. In fact, the sharp rise in interest rates since 2022 itself indicates that the situation could be worse than we know.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdf5cc833-b2e5-4cac-a2e5-6f55a891aae1_693x395.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdf5cc833-b2e5-4cac-a2e5-6f55a891aae1_693x395.png" width="693" height="395" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/df5cc833-b2e5-4cac-a2e5-6f55a891aae1_693x395.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":395,"width":693,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":157806,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The most important indication that something was very wrong was the fact that the Bank of England (BOE) felt obliged to open the monetary spigots wide. Recall, on 22 July they hastily <a href="https://www.cmdportal.com/events/the-future-boe-balance-sheet-a-new-system-for-supplying-reserves/">introduced a repo program</a>, announced as a bold “transition towards a new system for supplying reserves” to financial institutions. This move was clear evidence that one or more of British financial institutions were about to collapse. </p><p>By September 5, the program already <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/rates-bonds/bank-england-allots-record-40-billion-pounds-weekly-repo-2024-09-05/">ballooned to over £40 billion</a>. We’ll take a small detour to talk about repos here because it’s important to explain what repos are and why BOE’s launching a repo program is significant. If you feel you know enough about repos, feel free to skip to the next heading.</p><h2>The repo red flag</h2><p>Repos or repurchase agreements are an important source of funding for large financial institutions. A repo is a form of borrowing where the borrower sells securities to the lender with an agreement to repurchase them at a slightly higher price. Simply, it’s a form of secured loan. In the first step of the transaction, the lender buys some financial assets from the borrower. </p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd20c1cf6-a2b3-4904-91fd-dac6e2ffcecd_775x439.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd20c1cf6-a2b3-4904-91fd-dac6e2ffcecd_775x439.png" width="775" height="439" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d20c1cf6-a2b3-4904-91fd-dac6e2ffcecd_775x439.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":439,"width":775,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":24229,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The assets also represent the collateral which secures the loan. Normally, the collateral in question would be highly liquid, low-risk securities like government bonds, but they could also be mortgage-backed securities. In the second step, the borrower repurchases the securities at a higher price. The difference between the sale and the repurchase price reflects the interest on the loan that’s due to the lender. The lender might also demand that the loan be overcollateralized: that the value of the collateral exceeds the purchase amount by some percentage.</p><p>Repos are usually very short-term transactions, most often overnight, but they can also be arranged for longer time intervals spanning several days or several weeks. They can also be open ended, with no term specified. As a rule, in repo transactions the lenders are private, non-depositary financial institutions or money market funds. For them, repo transactions are a lucrative source of investment returns as they earn reliable interest income in transactions that are almost risk-free. The borrowers are usually investment banks for whom the repo market is a critically important source of liquidity.</p><p>In the U.S. over a $1 trillion in repo transactions are conducted each day. During financial crises, however, the repo market is one of the first to seize up. If a borrower is unable to repurchase the securities they sold, the lender might remain stuck with the collateral. In a crisis, the value of that collateral could collapse. In such conditions, the lenders might demand higher interest rates and higher rates of recollateralization. They might even be unwilling to engage in repo transactions at all. </p><p>In 2007, the Global Financial Crisis was catalyzed by a run on the repo market: the funding for investment banks became either prohibitively expensive or entirely unavailable. At that time the Fed did not enter the repo markets, but Ben Bernanke injected at least $1.5 trillion of liquidity by purchasing financial assets through other, longer-term facilities.</p><p>In 2019, yet another financial crisis was about to hit the proverbial fan. In August 2019, the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, <strong><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/360028ba-c702-11e9-af46-b09e8bfe60c0">James Bullard</a></strong><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/360028ba-c702-11e9-af46-b09e8bfe60c0"> said that</a>, “Something is going on, and that’s causing, I think, a total rethink of central banking and all our cherished notions about what we think we’re doing… We just have to stop thinking that next year things are going to be normal.” Well, as we now know, within a few months we got the New Normal!</p><p>The repo rates in the U.S. have been rising steadily since 2015, but by 2019 that trend began to accelerate quite sharply. On 16 September, repo rates exploded to 8%, fully 6% above the Fed Funds rate.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6346f6fd-19d5-4130-99e7-445eb5f95f51_713x354.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6346f6fd-19d5-4130-99e7-445eb5f95f51_713x354.png" width="713" height="354" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6346f6fd-19d5-4130-99e7-445eb5f95f51_713x354.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":354,"width":713,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":104461,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>To avert another, much bigger Lehman Brothers moment, the Fed hastily intervened as the lender of last resort, providing tens of billions of dollars in liquidity to the repo markets.

For example, they can serve as a means of perpetual bailout: among others, Lehman Brothers systematically used repo transactions to conceal their investment losses and create for a time a false impression of liquidity. For central banks, repos can be a covert mechanism of monetary policy. The Reserve Bank of India routinely uses repos and reverse repos to increase or decrease money supply in the economy.</p><p>Today, it seems that we are at the precipice once more. Keir Starmer’s budget represents the largest fiscal loosening since the 2020 lockdowns and the Bank of England is flooding the financial system with liquidity. It is fair to ask then, how bad could things be in the UK?</p><h2>The black hole: £71 or £22 billion?</h2><p>I don’t really know the answer to that question. As a market analyst and a former hedge fund manager, I regularly read the financial press, and I’ve done so for over 25 years. But over that time, I couldn’t help noticing that UK’s public finances aren’t subject to the same level of scrutiny as those of other nations. We hear a lot about the US, Japan, Germany, France, or China. About Britain, not so much.</p><p>What we can find from public sources isn’t exactly sensational. We already know that UK’s government debt is high and rising; in 2023 it was <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-budget-deficit-totals-143-billion-pounds-nov-ons-2023-12-21/">nearly £116 billion</a>, 27% more than the year before. <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/governmentpublicsectorandtaxes/publicsectorfinance/bulletins/publicsectorfinances/august2024">UK’s Office of National Statistics says that</a> the government added £64.1 billion in deficit spending through August this year and that debt-to-GDP ratio reached 100%.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F937d72a9-ba54-4c70-a121-2af1ed60e029_624x238.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F937d72a9-ba54-4c70-a121-2af1ed60e029_624x238.png" width="624" height="238" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/937d72a9-ba54-4c70-a121-2af1ed60e029_624x238.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":238,"width":624,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":54835,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The figures are bad, but they’re hardly panic-inducing stuff. I suspect that the real state of things is much worse and that it is being deliberately concealed.</p><p>There are times however, when some truth breaks into the public view through political squabbles. For example, on May 1 this year, Kier Starmer confronted then Prime Minister <strong>Rishi Sunak</strong> about the £46 billion black hole <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3g51qlxezro?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Byahoo.north.america%5D-%5Bheadline%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D&amp;ysclid=m13gebdoal816345505">before correcting himself</a>, first to £64 billion and then to staggering £71 billion! Whatever the case, the “black hole” is there and it is probably much bigger than we know. Of course, by the time Starmer became Prime Minister, the hole had magically shrunk to ‘only’ £22 billion – the sum that’s perhaps small enough that it can be fixed in part by freezing a few thousand pensioners this winter.</p><h2>The system that demands human sacrifice</h2><p>Incidentally: what is this financial system that requires a limitless flow of free money to gorge the gods of finance while at the same time it inflicts savage austerity on the poorest and most vulnerable members of society, condemning many of them literally to death. Whatever the Gods of finance are, they clearly demand human sacrifice. Our liberal democracies fear these gods enough that they are prepared to appease them at an industrial scale.</p><p>To save about £1.4 billion, <strong>Sir Keir Starmer</strong> has decided to cut winter fuel subsidies to 10 million pensioners in Britain. Back in 2017 Tory Prime Minister <strong>Theresa May</strong> floated a similar proposal. At the time, Labour was in opposition and their own research concluded that cutting winter fuel allowances would kill an estimated <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1946329/Labour-pensioners-dead-winter-fuel-thousands">3,850 pensioners that winter</a>. That was five years before "<a href="https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9491/">typical household energy bills increased by 54% in April 2022 and 27% in October that year</a>.</p><p>Britain now has the highest cost of energy in the world and the required human sacrifice could turn out considerably higher than 3,850 pensioners, all to save a relatively insignificant sum of money: a mere £1.4 billion of the supposed £22 billion fiscal black hole.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdd48ba9-dfdc-47bd-93ae-ad0e5918f2d4_472x561.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdd48ba9-dfdc-47bd-93ae-ad0e5918f2d4_472x561.png" width="472" height="561" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bdd48ba9-dfdc-47bd-93ae-ad0e5918f2d4_472x561.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":561,"width":472,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":145441,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h2>What they’re lying about…</h2><p>To be sure, Starmer was almost certainly lying about the size of that black hole. Massive government spending on unproductive, ideologically driven pet projects had created a <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/11/04/pensions-stealth-tax-raid-hit-millions-savers/">£50 billion black hole</a> already in 2022. The cost of Covid counter measures was £9 billion. Government’s Orwellian <a href="https://fullfact.org/online/track-and-trace-project-cost/">track and trace program cost £37 billion</a>. In addition, vast sums are being spent on various <em>net zero</em> schemes. </p><p>Just <a href="https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/uk-contribution-to-international-development-mitigating-the-impact-of-climate-change-on-developing-nations/">in 2022 the government spent £12.79 billion</a> on “mitigating the impact of climate change,” whatever that is. Furthermore, at the beginning of October 2024 they announced <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4301n3771o">they'd allocate another £22 billion for carbon capture projects</a>, building facilities to capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it underground. To be fair, the said amounts will be spent over a period of 25 years, but still, this is just more and more billions wasted on completely unproductive projects, far into the future. Starmer’s government also added £2.9 billion to Britain’s “defence” budget, a 4.5% increase over previous year’s budget and more than twice as much as they’re saving by freezing the pensioners.</p><h2>The illegal immigration black hole</h2><p>Then there’s immigration: supposedly, the upkeep of illegal <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/16-million-migrants-uk-are-unemployed-costing-taxpayers-ps85-billion-report">migrants costs the government £8.5 billion per year</a>. But the actual cost is almost certainly much, much higher. Back in 2009, we were told that the <a href="https://centurean2.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/12-8-billion-a-year-cost-of-immigration-in-britain-poliliars-incapable-of-telling-the-truth/">cost of immigration was £12.8 billion</a> per year; in 2016 they said <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3593872/17bn-true-cost-immigration-UK-year.html">it was £17 billion</a>, and since then the number of migrants increased by more than 2 million, so the cost of their upkeep would not have halved since 2016. Most likely it would have increased and dramatically so.</p><p>Then there’s the all-consuming Project Ukraine. From February 2022 until now, Britain allegedly spent more than £13 billion in aid to Ukraine. But the real damage from this misadventure cost many times more. Sanctions against Russia have caused extensive damage to Britain’s economy, starting with a sharp increase in prices of energy and other inputs. Farmers reported that the cost of fertilizer has quadrupled, from £250/ton before the sanctions to £1,000/ton today. Many British companies lost business on account of sanctions.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F595922c2-213b-4af9-81df-698ea698c4e3_509x512.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F595922c2-213b-4af9-81df-698ea698c4e3_509x512.png" width="509" height="512" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/595922c2-213b-4af9-81df-698ea698c4e3_509x512.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":512,"width":509,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":241470,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Just one example was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/aug/08/ba-to-axe-direct-flights-from-london-heathrow-to-beijing">British Airways' cancellation of one of its most important routes</a>: the 4-times weekly direct flight from London Heathrow to Beijing. In a retaliatory measure against British sanctions, Russia closed its airspace to British commercial flights, rendering it uncompetitive and simply surrendering the business to BA’s Chinese competitors. There are probably thousands of similar cases where business relationships that may have taken years and decades to develop have been blown up over the ruling establishment’s geopolitical obsessions.</p><h2>Russia sanctions - the staggering collateral damage</h2><p>It would be difficult to quantify all the effects, but in June 2023, European High Representative for Foreign Affairs <strong><a href="https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/singapore-speech-hrvp-borrell-shangri-la-dialogue_en">Josep Borrell</a></strong><a href="https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/singapore-speech-hrvp-borrell-shangri-la-dialogue_en"> gave us an important clue</a>. Here’s what he said in his remarks to the Shangri La Dialogue forum in Singapore:</p><blockquote><p>“For the first time ever, we have been funding military support to a country under attack. … if you add up all the support – military, civilian, economic, financial and humanitarian – the level of support to Ukraine is about €60 billion for Europe. But let me show another figure which is really impressive: if you include the support that the European governments have had to pay in order to help their families and firms to face the high prices of electricity, of food, the subsidies to our people in order to face the consequences of the war is €700 billion – ten times more than the support for Ukraine. Which shows that the consequences of this war are not reduced to what’s happening in Ukraine but to the shockwaves that the war has been sending all around the world.”</p></blockquote><p>If the shockwaves Borrell was talking about hit Britain as hard as they hit the EU nations, the full cost of Project Ukraine could be £150 billion or even more. Keep in mind, Borrell made his assessment only half way through the Ukraine war. However high the real damage is, all that capital has already been flushed down the drain and will likely never be recovered.</p><p>In all, the situation in Britain is certainly far worse than we know. Over the top, Orwellian actions by the Starmer government and the Bank of England seem to support this view. What we have, in a nutshell, is an overhang of unpayable debts, growing government deficits, hard austerity, increasing militarization, continued foreign adventurism, not only in Russia but also in the Middle East, and an expanding monetary inflation by the Bank of England.</p><h2>The markets verdict</h2><p>Since my August article, I wondered if I wasn’t wrong to single out the UK as the most exposed economy and the one that’ll crash the hardest. I checked the capital markets’ verdict on the situation by comparing the recent performance of British, German and American bonds. Sure enough, so far the markets appear to agree:</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f3e80a5-dfcd-4d33-ab8e-5241d1d56ad9_1058x520.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f3e80a5-dfcd-4d33-ab8e-5241d1d56ad9_1058x520.png" width="1058" height="520" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8f3e80a5-dfcd-4d33-ab8e-5241d1d56ad9_1058x520.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":520,"width":1058,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":90932,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption data-sanitized-class="image-caption">Major geopolitical turning points seem to have accelerated the “bonds armageddon”</figcaption></figure></div><p>Over the last four years, British government’s debt has performed the worst of three.

Former Fed chairman <strong>Arthur Burns</strong> said that “A subtle understanding of economic change comes from a knowledge of history and large affairs, not from statistics or their processing alone.” Indeed, it was just this understanding of history and large affairs that’s led me to make a prediction about Britain’s descent already three years ago. In <a href="https://isystem-tf.com/2021/10/27/the-fall-of-global-britain-an-investment-hypothesis/">an article I published on 11 October 2021</a> I wrote as follows:</p><blockquote><p>“The UK will likely make all the mistakes made by other powers in that similar position through history: it will suffocate its domestic economic growth by imposing hard austerity at home while at the same time increasing military spending and foreign adventurism. Britain’s public debt will continue to outpace its GDP growth and the government’s budget deficits will be covered by Bank of England’s monetary inflation. This recipe reliably leads to stagflation and possibly to hyperinflation.”</p></blockquote><p>This is exactly what started to unfold over the last three years. For the record, I wrote the above before the war in Ukraine even started, adding tens of billions to the debt overhang. It was before <strong>Boris Johnson</strong> preannounced the war in his cryptic speech on Monday, 15 November of that year (2021). <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-russia-gas-nordstream-2-b1958075.html">Addressing the attending dignitaries</a> at the City of London banquet, then Prime Minister <strong>Johnson</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>issued a warning to the European governments:</p><blockquote><p>“We hope that our friends [in Europe] may recognize that a choice is shortly coming between mainlining ever more Russian hydrocarbons in giant new pipelines and sticking up for Ukraine and championing the cause of peace and stability.”</p></blockquote><p>How Johnson knew that this choice was shortly coming remains a mystery, but the fact that he did know it and that he included that announcement in his remarks was very significant. </p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F062a8263-6942-4836-8eca-2c4932d1ed33_934x478.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F062a8263-6942-4836-8eca-2c4932d1ed33_934x478.png" width="934" height="478" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/062a8263-6942-4836-8eca-2c4932d1ed33_934x478.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":478,"width":934,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":999118,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption data-sanitized-class="image-caption">It’s not so much <em>what</em> you know - it’s <em>whom</em> you know.</figcaption></figure></div><p>The statement was a big reveal: it suggested that Britain took the leading role in Project Ukraine and gambled heavily on it.

<h3><strong>By Gerald Therrien</strong></h3><blockquote><p><em>Before we look at this treasonous plot that began fermenting in Burr’s mind after his private meeting with Wilkinson in 1804, first we need to look at a short history of Wilkinson’s prior intrigues with Spain and how he became ‘Agent 13’ - from his first attempt at bribery and secession in 1787, to his part in another attempt in 1796-97 - that was part of a larger British-instigated plot for western secession, that was exposed by another ‘unsung hero’ Andrew Ellicott.</em></p><p><em>Whether Wilkinson really wanted to have the western states secede, or whether he was only using this as a carrot to extract more money from the Spanish government is debatable. I tend to lean towards the case, that Wilkinson always looked out for himself above all else, and that he would just as easily betray either Spain or America, depending on which option gave him the most in personal gain.</em></p></blockquote><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e5be5fc-dc2e-49a7-be6e-84bfcc58985f_320x400.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7e5be5fc-dc2e-49a7-be6e-84bfcc58985f_320x400.jpeg" width="320" height="400" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7e5be5fc-dc2e-49a7-be6e-84bfcc58985f_320x400.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":400,"width":320,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"","title":null,"type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":false,"topImage":true,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" fetchpriority="high" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><blockquote><p><em>James Wilkinson</em></p><p>On May 23<sup>rd</sup> 1804, (a month after losing the New York governor election) Aaron Burr received a note from General James Wilkinson, asking to meet with him at his house – ‘<em>if it can be done without observation or intrusion</em>’.</p><p>There is no written record of what was discussed that night, but most probably Wilkinson explained to Burr that there was a ready opportunity for an ‘<em>individual of hardy enterprise</em>’ to lead an expedition into Spanish territory and to seize a large chunk of their empire; that he had the Spanish problem taken care of – they were ready to believe anything that he told them; and that, perhaps, the influence of Vice-president Burr might be used to secure the appointment of Wilkinson as the new Governor of the Louisiana Territory.</p><p>General Wilkinson, commander of the United States Army, along with William Claiborne, the Governor of the Mississippi Territory, had accepted the transfer of Louisiana from France to the United States on December 20<sup>th</sup> 1803 (5 months earlier).</p><p>While in New Orleans, Wilkinson had also tried to collect from the Spanish governor of Florida, $20,000 arrears on payments that he felt were owed to him for intelligence that he had been supplying to Spain. The Spanish government would agree to a payment of 12,000 pesos and a renewal of Wilkinson’s pension – as compensation ‘<em>for the services which I shall render, and more particularly, to indemnify me for the eventual loss of the office which I hold, and which it will seem necessary for me to abandon in case of hostilities</em>’.</p><p>In trying to re-construct Wilkinson’s motive and plan, we must look at the records of his previous attempts at intrigue/treason.</p><p>Earlier in 1787, Wilkinson, who had recently moved to Kentucky, wrote to the Spanish commandant at St. Louis, complaining of the actions of General George Rogers Clark – who had confiscated the property at Vincennes of some French traders, who were subjects of Spain. The favorable reception of this letter allowed Wilkinson to make a trip to New Orleans and to meet with Miro, the Spanish Governor of Louisiana, where he presented a memorial – that the closing of the Mississippi river to traffic from Kentucky was causing much discontent, and that Spain should allow Wilkinson and his friends a monopoly of trade and immigration with Spain, and that Spain should help them in fomenting <strong>a secessionist revolt from the United States</strong>.</p><p>Instead, the Spanish government decided to allow Americans the use of the Mississippi river (subject to a duty of 15% to 6%), but Spain did not want to be implicated in any revolt – after Kentucky had established their independence, then a connection with Spain could be formed.</p><p>Wilkinson also offered to promote Spanish interests in the western states and to supply Spain with intelligence (although most of his information was of little value) and in return, he would receive a pension from Spain – and thus he became known as Spain’s ‘<em>Agent 13</em>’.</p><p>Later in 1793, the French Minister Genet had intrigued with General George Rogers Clark and others in Kentucky to attack the Spanish forces in Louisiana and New Orleans, but President Washington put an end to this invasion with his proclamation prohibiting Americans from ‘<em>invading and plundering the territories of a nation at peace with the United States</em>’.</p><p>Wilkinson wrote to Carondelet, the new governor of Louisiana, that his pension should be raised to $4,000 in case it was necessary for him to leave the army and devote himself solely to the interests of Spain; that he needed $12,000 to bribe the Kentucky leaders away from Clark, and needed $200,000 for bribes to prevent any alliances from being formed with Britain.</p><p>Carondelet, in response, proposed a conference with delegates from Kentucky and Spanish officials to reach an agreement concerning the navigation of the Mississippi river. Early in 1796, one of Wilkinson’s partners, Benjamin Sebastian, travelled to New Orleans to meet Carondelet but news then arrived of the treaty negotiated by Pinckney between the United States and Spain.</p><p>Afterwards, the Spanish government directed that <strong>all further attempts to encourage western separatism should cease, except so far as necessary to counteract British intrigues</strong>. Although Gayoso, the Spanish commandant of the Natchez District, ‘<em>believed that the General [Wilkinson] was ready to betray the interests of Spain in order to recommend himself to the American government</em>’, the Spanish authorities in Louisiana were not quite ready to discontinue their intrigues with Wilkinson and Kentucky.</p><p>An exposure of Wilkinson’s intrigues would be provided by Andrew Ellicott in a letter to Secretary of State Timothy Pickering on November 14<sup>th</sup> 1797.</p><p>Ellicott had been commissioned by President Washington in 1796 to survey the southern border of the United States with Spain, but also to watch Wilkinson –</p><blockquote><p>“President Washington communicated confidentially to this affirmant that suspicions had been signified to him of certain citizens of the United States improperly connecting themselves with the Spanish Government, among whom General Wilkinson was mentioned, and requested this affirmant to pay attention to that subject, but in as private a manner as possible, to prevent the increase of suspicions, perhaps ill-founded.”</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>[from a deposition given by Ellicott on May 22<sup>nd</sup> 1808]</p></blockquote><p>In the letter to Pickering, Ellicott was complaining that General Wilkinson and others received annual stipends from Spain, and that</p><blockquote><p>“the first object of these plotters is to detach the States of Kentucky and Tennessee from the union and place them under the protection of Spain … the design of detaching the western country from the union is but a small part of the general plan which is very extensive and embraces objects of immense magnitude; nevertheless, to ensure success, this point must be first carried; which being effected and by the system of promotion adopted by the court of Madrid, Governor [of Louisiana] Gayoso will be at Quito and the Baron Carondelet at Mexico about the same time: so soon as this arrangement takes place or sooner if the necessary officers can be corrupted a general insurrection will be attempted, and cannot fail of success if the first part succeeds. General Wilkinson is to proceed from Kentucky with a body of troops through the country by the way of the Illinois into New Mexico which will be a central position – the route has been already explored. Nine tenths of the officers of the Louisiana regiment are at this time corrupted and the officers of the Mexican regiment which is now in this country are but little better. The apparent zeal of the Spanish officers on the Mississippi for the dignity of the Crown, is only intended to cover their designs till the great plan which is the establishment of a new empire is brought to maturity. Their principles are highly revolutionary …”</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>“[Wilkinson’s] actions were designed to gain both the Americans and the Spaniards or to repudiate either or both, if such action should become necessary to advance (his) private fortune’.</p></blockquote><p><strong>While plotting the secession of Kentucky and Tennessee from the Union – with the protection of Spain, his plan would have then proceeded to double-cross the Spanish, by joining the western states with New Orleans and Louisiana, and declaring the independence of a new western empire that would have the single control of the Mississippi river.</strong></p><p>As we will see later, this appears so similar to Burr’s treason, that perhaps this is what Burr and Wilkinson discussed that evening in 1804 at Burr’s house.</p><p>At that time, Wilkinson was involved in an effort to defame the great patriot, General Anthony Wayne, who thought that Wilkinson was a ‘<em>vile assassin</em>’ and ‘<em>the worst of all bad men</em>’, and wished for Wilkinson be resigned from the army.</p><p>In October 1796, Wilkinson left the Ohio country and travelled to Philadelphia to defend his name ‘<em>against a variety of foul and infamous imputations</em>’, to support his ‘<em>allegations against Wayne</em>’ and to vindicate the ‘<em>conduct and character of many of my friends in Kentucky</em>’. But, with the ‘<em>untimely death</em>’ of General Wayne in December, Wilkinson now became the senior officer in the United States Army. While in Philadelphia, Wilkinson met Senator Blount, from Tennessee, where a new plan was being formed to organize an expedition to seize the Floridas and Louisiana.</p><p>The November 1797 letter from Ellicott would have been received by Pickering at nearly the same time that Pickering had received a letter from Rufus King, the American Minister in London – that contained a (November 29<sup>th</sup> 1797) statement from John Chisholm, concerning a plot to attack the Spanish settlements in West Florida and Louisiana, with British support.</p><p>Earlier on July 3<sup>rd</sup> 1797, President Adams sent to Congress a letter from William Blount to James Carey, outlining the conspiracy which promptly blew up the treasonous plot – sending the participants scurrying for cover! This resulted in articles of impeachment against Blount being presented in the House of Representatives and sent to the Senate on February 7<sup>th</sup> 1798; and a trial in the Senate, beginning December 17<sup>th</sup> 1798, until he was acquitted on January 10<sup>th</sup> 1799.</p><p>From the papers of William Blount, which had been seized in pursuance of a resolution of the Senate, is one letter of note – that written to Blount from Nicolas Romayne on May 13, 1797 that</p><blockquote><p>“I have spoken to Colonel Burr about a land scheme between you and me, and have requested his attention in getting letters for me. Your coming to this place will insure this business …”</p></blockquote><p>Although no direct evidence links Burr to Chisholm’s plot, one can only guess what ‘<em>land scheme</em>’ and ‘<em>business</em>’ was being hinted at!</p><p>According to Chisholm, in November 1796 he met with Blount ‘<em>who immediately agreed to give it his aid and influence</em>’; and he also met with Robert Liston, the British minister to the United States, who provided Chisholm with letters of introduction to the British government ministers. Chisolm sailed to London and met with ministry officials.</p><p>Chisholm’s plan had three attacks that were to be made on the same day: first, <strong>Joseph Brandt and Mohawks from Canada</strong><em> </em>would join with John Mitchell and men from New York and Pennsylvania to attack New Madrid; second, William Blount with men from Tennessee and Kentucky along with Choctaws would attack New Orleans; and third, John Chisholm and men from the Floridas along with Cherokees and Creeks would attack Pensacola. The British were asked to send 6 frigates to block the harbour of Pensacola and the mouth of the Mississippi river.</p><blockquote><p>“In case of success … the Floridas with Louisiana should be put upon the ancient footing of a British colony … (and) that Pensacola and New Orleans should be declared free ports, and the navigation of Mississippi should for ever remain free to the people of Great Britain and the United States.”</p></blockquote><p>This plan to include British naval assistance would also appear as a part of Burr’s and Wilkinson’s 1804 scheme.</p><p>Chisholm met with officials of the British Indian Department from Canada – including Captain Johnson, Captain Stedman and the Mohawk leader Joseph Brandt, ‘<em>who agreed to give their aid</em>’ to his plan. If Chisholm’s plan was successful, the British Empire would be able to block America’s western progress by completely surrounding the United States – from Canada to Louisiana, from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico!</p><p><strong>It would seem that before the northern secession plot had become the British Empire’s policy for Canada, that the western secession plot became the British Empire’s policy for the use of Canada – both were parts of the same effort of the Empire to strike back after the loss of her thirteen colonies – to split the United States from the western states, and to stop America from becoming a continental republic!!!</strong></p><p>As both Ellicott’s letter to Pickering and of King’s letter to Pickering were written in November 1797, the question arises whether Wilkinson (and possibly Jefferson!) were part of Blount’s and Chisholm’s plot.</p><p>According to Chisholm,</p><blockquote><p>“but he [Blount] one day sent his little son to ask me to come to his house in the Evening. – On my coming into the room instead of finding him alone as usual I found Mr. Jefferson and General Wilkinson at table with him (it being dinner). It immediately struck me, but I might have been wrong, that Blount had sent for me in order to open my plan to these gentlemen – this I did not incline to do …”</p></blockquote><p>Although nothing directly points to Jefferson’s involvement in Blount’s plot, one is nonetheless drawn to a curious quote from a letter he wrote to Joseph Priestly (January 29<sup>th</sup> 1804 – after the Louisiana purchase) that</p><blockquote><p>“… I very early saw that Louisiana was indeed a speck in our horizon, which was to burst in a tornado, and the public are unapprised how near this catastrophe was. Nothing but a frank and friendly development of causes and effects on our part, and good sense enough in Buonaparte to see that the train was unavoidable, and would change the face of the world, saved us from that storm ...”</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>“<strong>Whether we remain in one confederacy, or form into Atlantic and Mississippi confederacies</strong>, I believe not very important to the happiness of either part. Those of the Western confederacy will be as much our children and descendants as those of the Eastern, and I feel myself as much identified with that country, in future time, as with this: and did I now foresee a separation at some future day, yet I should feel the duty and the desire to promote the Western interests as zealously as the Eastern, doing all the good for both portions of our future family which should fall within my power ...”</p></blockquote><p>It should be remembered that President Jefferson had sent his envoys, Monroe and Livingston, to France with instructions to purchase the Floridas and the port of New Orleans – not Louisiana. He wanted the Mississippi river to be the western boundary of the original United States. Even after the purchase, his plan called for native Americans living in the Ohio country, to exchange their lands east of the Mississippi, for those lands west of the Mississippi. The Louisiana territory was to become Indian Territory.</p><p>Jefferson ended his letter to Priestly with another strange quote, that</p><blockquote><p>“Have you seen the new work of Malthus on population? It is one of the ablest I have ever seen. Altho his main object is to delineate the effects of redundancy of population, and to test the poor laws of England, and other palliations for that evil, several important questions in political economy, allied to his subject incidentally, are treated with a masterly hand.”</p></blockquote><p><strong>It would seem that the problem with Jefferson, in regards to political economy, was that he was a Malthusian!</strong></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><blockquote><p>[next week - chapter 3 - The Beginnings of Burr’s and Wilkinson’s Secession Plot]</p></blockquote><h5><em><strong>For those who may wish to support my continuing work on ‘The Unveiling of Canadian History’, you may purchase my books, that are available as PDFs and Paperback (on Amazon) at the <a href="https://canadianpatriot.org/gerry-therriens-history-files/">Canadian Patriot Review </a>:</strong></em></h5><ul><li><p><em>Volume 1 – The Approaching Conflict, 1753 – 1774.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Volume 2 – Forlorn Hope – Quebec and Nova Scotia, and the War for Independence, 1775 – 1785.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Volume 3 – The Storming of Hell – the War for the Territory Northwest of the Ohio, 1786 – 1796.</em></p></li></ul><h5><em><strong>And hopefully,</strong></em></h5><ul><li><p><em>Volume 4 – Ireland, Haiti, and Louisiana – the Idea of a Continental Republic, 1797 – 1804,</em></p></li></ul><h5><em>may also appear in print, in the near future, while I continue to work on :</em></h5><ul><li><p><em>Volume 5 – On the Trail of the Treasonous, 1804 - 1814.</em></p></li></ul><h5><strong>Merci, et amusez-vous, mes amis.\</strong></h5><h2><a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-152838724">Subscribe to Gerald’s substack here</a></h2>

The incumbent President <strong>Zoran Milanović</strong> won the first round in a landslide against the pro-globalist challenger <strong>Dragan Primorac</strong>. Primorac was strongly backed by the ruling party, the Croatian Democratic Union, led by the Prime Minister <strong>Andrej Plenković </strong>who has been a loyal supporter of NATO, US, UK and EU policies.

If so, it seems that the same cultural countercurrents seem to be gripping many nations as the recent elections in the United States, Slovakia, Romania, Georgia, Hungary, France, Germany, Croatia and Moldova have shown (yes, Moldova too).</p><p>It may be that in spite of the loud banging of the war-drums in mainstream media, and among our political class, very different currents are gathering below the surface. These currents might continue to gain strength; it’s what our ruling establishments like to label as Russia's malign influence. More likely, the truth is that ordinary people got tired of the lies, hatred, hostility and the wars, as well as the intellectual and cultural junk food that's become the pervasive staple among Western nations. This is a hopeful sign, because escalating the wars could prove difficult for the imperial establishment. What if peace starts to break out all over the place in 2025?

In the 1970s the CIA built a tiny robot dragonfly listening device that could fly 200 meters in a few seconds to eavesdrop on conversations. It used a gas-powered fluidic oscillator to flap its wings 1,800 times per minute and could be controlled by an infrared laser beam. They claim the device was never used for a mission because it struggled with crosswinds above 7mph.
<p>At this link, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ3spmVqnco">second video</a> shows flight tests of the device.

An insurance company reported that Waymo has logged 25 mmillion fully autonomous miles and showed a 88% reduction in property damage claims and a 92% reduction in bodily injury claims. In other words, if humans had driven these same miles there would have been 8x as many property damage claims and 13x as many bodily injury claims.

<blockquote>
<p>A phenomenon where army ants follow each other in circles, sometimes until they die — and thus known as an “ant death spiral” — was captured on camera at a university in Venezuela. Biologist Javier David Uzcategui Gonzalez filmed the footage at Simon Bolivar University in Miranda, describing the occurrence as “very rare”. In an August 2020 tweet, Gonzales explained that the phenomenon, also called an ant mill, will happen when some ants lose track of the colony and follow others “in a rotating circle of death.”</p>

<h2>By Rick Hines</h2><p><em>“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.”<br>-Matthew 23:15, New International Version</em><br><br>Today I was watching a discussion by Whitney Webb about dollars and Stable Coin Dollars, the US Dollar Hegemony, Argentina and El Salvador, and her mention of “Soft Power.” Halfway through it, I thought of something: a new verb.</p><p><em>“To Vaticanize.”</em></p><p>“Vaticanize” means to transform an Empire when it officially collapses, turn it into a diffuse Empire, and then use soft power to keep and maintain its control, as the Hard Empire crumbles. Centralized “decentralized” control replaces overt Centralized control. And it is done by using a central narrative, or <em>faith,</em> to hold it together, seducing adherents from abroad into becoming priests of that faith which they then use to do the Empire’s bidding.</p><p>Now I’m going to do a quick and dirty reminder of history, a <em>back of napkin</em> calculation, “good enough for government work” as they say to explain:</p><p>When Rome ruled, officially, that is, Pagan Rome, it was all about Boots On The Ground.</p><p>It ruled directly, with armies composed of men of proper Roman, or Italic, ethnicity. But what inevitably happened, we are told in school, was the Empire got weak and hollowed out from inside and corrupt. It increasingly became plagued with financial instability and unpayable debt. Having its armies spread thin, it could no longer hold it together.</p><p>Fast forward a couple hundred years and we have Vandals and Goths and Visigoths sacking and pillaging Rome and Rome “falls” into a heap of mayhem.</p><p>A few hundred years later it came back like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. But this time it was no longer administered and maintained by only Italians. No longer did Italians put on boots and don armor to occupy nations directly. Instead, we are told, it became an “Empire of Faith.” It ruled through soft power, and got “Germanics” (northern Europeans) onboard to do its bidding. It did this by seducing them into a faith, a story, a narrative. It had become the “Holy Roman Empire,” that is, the Papacy, or Vatican.</p><p>It ruled indirectly for a thousand years by controlling narratives, beliefs, and seduced non-Italians on board to do its bidding. Everyone –France, England, Germany–<em> everyone–</em> may have had their own local kings, fiefs, and lords butstill answered to Rome at the end of the day. Meanwhile, people who were wealthy could pay their indulgences to be able to sin. They paid the tithe and tax to the Holy Roman Catholic Church and Papacy.</p><p>This is how the “Phoenixed” Empire maintained its control. Of course, this might be an oversimplification, when you also consider Venice and its intelligence agencies and financial dealings, but it’s what we are told in high school and sometimes it’s best to start with the simple and relatable to get a point across, as I am trying to do here.</p><p>We are schooled into believing at an early age that this was the dominant order that held through the Middle Ages.</p><p>Fast forward eight hundred years and you find Britain, at the end of World War I. Britain’s empire, we are told, was on its last legs, at least officially. By 1950, it began losing its power to put boots on the ground in Kenya and India and other places. Crushed under the weight of debt, it could no longer put British soldiers on the front lines of colonial administration like it used to be able to do.

And you put on your Bishop Hat to start “bishoping” for this new Decentralized-But-Centralized Holy British Empire over your region. Or…should I say…you put on your Bertrand Russell hat, and start repeating the mantra of “Science.” What is “Science” for a devoted grand strategist of the British Empire?</p><p>Why the “Science of Limits!” The “Science of What You Cannot Do,” as Matt Ehret so brilliantly put it. Or what others called “<em>The dismal science”.</em></p><p>Dismal is such an appropriate word, because it implies pessimism and doom and gloom. And isn’t that what we hear constantly day in day out from “experts?”</p><p>But wait…there’s more…</p><p>If you are rich enough to pay your Carbon Taxes, then you can run your mansion at a high energy consumption. Just like Al Gore! Or maybe fly a private jet to a climate conference, just like John Kerry. You can indulge now in Science “sins” that normie folks can’t, as they get their hamburgers cut out and replaced by seed oil seeping Plant burgers. Is this starting to look familiar now?</p><p>Britain had <em>Vaticanized</em>. It had ceased to be ethnically British and became Multicultural, multiethnic. Like in Disney’s <em>Mandalorian</em> show of <em>Star Wars</em>, where Djin Darin says Mandalore is no longer a race but a way. It used to be a race, but now it’s a way of life that anybody can be a part of, provided they jump through enough hoops, get their training, don their Beskar armor, get taken under the wing of someone important (you DO have to be connected), and become <em>Mandalorianized</em>.</p><p>Britain had “Vaticanized.” It had replaced “Direct British” with “Holy British” rule. It’s all about converts now. Yuval Noah Harari, who is Middle Eastern and has a thick Israeli accent, is more “British” than some English working class punk rocker in a slum in northern Manchester speaking in a thick Cockney accent.</p><p>For, Yuval Harari preaches the Gospel.</p><p>The Gospel of Climate and Carbon and Transhuman Faith.</p><p>“We’re going to merge with Machine and become Cyborgs,” “We’re going to replace the Human,” “There’s too many useless people.” “What do we do with all these useless people?” (here speaking about AI replacing jobs and echoing Malthus). Britain’s faith is the Gospel of Scientism, ala Bertrand Russel, Bacon, Malthus, Darwin, Dawkins, etc. You have all no doubt heard the unfortunately all-too familiar line: <em>Material reality is all that exists, forget about the supernatural, energy and time is running out, we’re doomed because of heat death and climate change, etc etc.</em></p><p>This is to the British Empire what Roman Catholicism had been to the revived Roman Empire in the Middle Ages.</p><p>Meanwhile, the US had replaced the British Empire as the official, “Boots On the Ground” empire, acting like Italian Romans proper back in Roman pagan days. And Dollar hegemony and the US war machine kept it going. But the debt tab just kept going up and going up. And, maybe there aren’t enough American soldiers to enforce it all. It’s so overwhelming. And so many countries want to <em>de-dollarize</em>.</p><p>So what does America do?</p><p>America will have to Vaticanize in its own way just as Rome and Britain did. That is, if it still wants to remain an empire rather than restoring its moral foundation as a republic as it should. But cynicism, and the power of financial elites, almost certainly dictates that it will probably adopt the former rather than the latter.</p><p>Is Libertarianism the New Faith that will replace Boots-on-the-Ground Empire with decentralized, centralized control?</p><p>Well, if future history in the next few years goes like what Whitney Webb is saying in this video, this is where it looks to be going:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgTC08lgB6A">“It’s ALL Pre-PLANNED…” – Whitney Webb</a></p><p>Though she doesn’t use the words “Vaticanize,” what she is describing paints a clear and concise picture of what I am calling Vaticanization. Finding a soft power and faith-based replacement for boots on the ground as a way to seduce bishops abroad and from other nations to do Empire’s bidding. Creating a faith, a faith that Milei seems to be zealously implementing. It is the Gospel of Libertarianism and Privatization. But I have heard others call it <em>Free Market Fundamentalism. </em>As Caleb Maupin often likes to say, it is “the delusion that you can cut your way to growth.”</p><p>Indeed, in the short time since Milei took over presidency in Argentina and implemented his privatization and re-dollarization agenda, much <em>has </em>been done and the results and fruits are in: poverty rates have soared above 53% and debt is higher than ever. Results indeed! For the billionaire class, that is!</p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/argentina-poverty-milei-economy-crisis-f766deb9302aa4ddde1bb9ae26aaf7af">Argentina’s poverty rate spikes in first 6 months of President Milei’s shock therapy</a></p><p>And yet, this is exactly what Ramaswamy and Elon Musk swear that they want to do for America in the up and coming administration.

Like: Hey, the Pope is the Vicar of Christ, right? But don’t worry: if you can pay your tithe -pay your tax- then you can indulge. See? Not so bad!</p><p>We are constantly told that America founded itself on being a “Self-Made Man,” and set itself up in opposition to the British Empire and opposition to hereditary landed aristocracy rule.</p><p>But unfortunately it became Imperial and corrupt, thinking it could occupy the world militarily. And so, in the minds of America’s corrupt oligarchs, it will need to make a Faith. Well it already has one: “Private.” “Libertarian.” “Freedom.” “Free Markets.”</p><p>The way America is going to Vaticanize is by selling this faith as “private” and “free market” and Bitcoin and Stablecoin Dollar and so on, as well as other cryptocurrencies, but in a market that is really rigged and connected to govt control in order to create monopolies. Fake Libertarianism, in other words, and fake “free markets” that are rigged in favor of guys like Peter Thiel.</p><p>Meanwhile guys like Milei in Argentina, and Nayib Bukele, president of El Salvador, who is famous in the podcast alternative media world for his love of Crypto, Bitcoin Cities, and pseudo “free market” zones where rich and connected guys buy up land unfairly and engage in pseudo John Galt type paradises run by guys like Peter Thiel and other hedge fund investor types… These guys…Milei and Bukele…, these are going to become the new Bishops of the Vaticanized Holy American Empire.</p><p>As Bret Weinstein says: <em>“A republic if you can Phoenix it,”</em> but it really should be said like: “An Empire if you can Phoenix it.” Or maybe even “An Empire if you can Vaticanize it.”</p><p>The Gospel will be this Big Data, AI, and govt intelligence agency-directed Pseudo-Libertarianism where you create fake free markets that are really rigged from the start to prop up and create monopolies. The rich bitcoiners who go and buy up land to create “autonomous” zones at the invite of guys like Milei and Bukele will become the new Fiefdoms of this American Papacy.</p><p>In Medieval days, as the Knights were going out to fight the Crusades, there was a saying: <em>“To Be A Roman Is to Be a Christian, and To be a Christian is to be a Roman.”</em></p><p>Well maybe the American motto will go like: <em>“To be an American is to be a Libertarian and to be a Libertarian is to be an American.”</em></p><p>But only certain, connected, people will be able to become “Libertarians” while the rest of us, the great mass, will be just trying to get by and survive from day to day. Maybe we’ll have to go to witchdoctors and get “magical” cures and recite prayers over potions or scrying crystals, hoping our grandfather’s or uncle’s or mother’s cancer will go away. Because we just can’t afford healthcare like a billionaire can.</p><p>When the cry of “You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy” rang out from the parapets of the World Economic Forum a few years ago, the MAGA crowd noticed it first, registered it, and voiced their opposition. They also voiced their hope that Donald Trump and other MAGA leaders would put up a legitimate opposition to the WEF’s “owning nothing and being happy” agenda.</p><p>One of the hallmarks of Owning Nothing and Being Happy, went many a podcaster, was that you will rent your house rather than owning your house. And you will pay exorbitant rents indeed, being at the mercy of a low vacancy rate and an “owner’s market” being increasingly gobbled up by housing corporations and real estate speculators, Black Rock, and so on.</p><p>But consider what happens if Ramaswamy and Musk convince the government to privatize Social Security, or Medicare, or put Medicare on Bitcoin so that it can float and be speculated upon. Next consider if Bitcoin crashes, taking down Medicare with it.</p><p>What are many aging Boomers and Generation X’ers going to do when they or a family member has a medical emergency? Say, Cancer, or Multiple Sclerosis, or any other number of genetically inherited maladies? What are they going to do in order to cover the medical expenses, never mind being out of work? Especially when these medical expenses are constantly rising and never falling?</p><p>Why, take out a second mortgage on their house, a house that they might have already paid for in full. Maybe they won’t be able to pay this mortgage, being incapacitated or unable to work due to medical conditions that require expensive drugs. Which are no longer covered, thanks to cuts inspired by Ramaswamy and the siren song of Free Market Fundamentalism and Self-Made-Man’ism.</p><p>Maybe they will also lapse on their property taxes. Now, with no inheritance of property left for their descendants, their descendants will now be turned loose to fend for themselves in this vicious, brutal, rental market. Maybe they will end up sleeping under the bridge or in a tent somewhere. That is…if they can avoid the <em>hostile architecture.</em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnqUoAEg6f4">NYC is Building Anti-Homeless Streets…</a></p><p>Talk about “Owning Nothing and Being Happy!” Who are they kidding?</p>

<p>Last night I had the privilege of being included in a Zoom call with <strong>Steve Bannon</strong>, former investment banker and media executive, host of the "War Room" show and chief political strategist during the first seven months of <strong>Donald Trump</strong>'s first term in office. Much of what Bannon presented wasn't surprising, but what seemed significant was that he confirmed that Trump and his team will go on the offensive from day one in office. "The days of thunder begin on Monday," he said, and the world will not be the same again. Bannon wasn't talking about Trump going on the offensive against the Chinese, Iranians or the Russians. Trump and his team are preparing to take on the "they.”</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F957051a0-eb8a-48fe-8b01-e103d722d38c_1804x1096.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F957051a0-eb8a-48fe-8b01-e103d722d38c_1804x1096.png" width="1456" height="885" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/957051a0-eb8a-48fe-8b01-e103d722d38c_1804x1096.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":885,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":2585538,"alt":"","title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":false,"topImage":true,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" fetchpriority="high" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>"They," in Bannon's words, are the people who control the world's most powerful empire and, elections or no elections, democracy or no democracy, they will not voluntarily relinquish their privileges and the control over their empire: there will be a fight. In a few recent podcasts, I discussed what this likely implies, simply on the basis of what the nature of this power struggle entails. </p><p>Namely, taking on the imperial cabal is a fight to the death. "They," are vicious, unscrupulous and extremely vindictive. If Trump and his team falter in this struggle, the cabal will not content themselves with merely defeating Trump politically. I believe they would not relent until they entirely destroyed him, his fortune, his collaborators and his family.</p><h2>The price of defying the Empire</h2><p>When the United States declared independence from the British Empire, the signatories of the Declaration of Independence were not just a bunch of belligerent rebels with nothing to lose. In many ways, they were similar to the people flanking Donald Trump today. They were all educated men of means and privileged members of society. </p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F14b23432-e42a-4788-af31-43f957337b1c_2633x885.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F14b23432-e42a-4788-af31-43f957337b1c_2633x885.png" width="1456" height="489" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/14b23432-e42a-4788-af31-43f957337b1c_2633x885.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":489,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":2525270,"alt":"","title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":false,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption data-sanitized-class="image-caption">They all defied the Empire and pledged their lives</figcaption></figure></div><p>Of the 56 signatories, twenty four were lawyers and jurists; eleven were wealthy merchants; nine were farmers and large plantation owners. In signing the Declaration of Independence they provoked the wrath of the empire, knowing for sure that if they were captured their penalty would be death. Five of them were in fact captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons and another two had their sons captured and imprisoned.</p><p>Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships in the revolutionary war. <strong>Carter Braxton</strong>, a wealthy planter and trader saw all his ships sunk by the British Navy. To pay his debts he was forced to sell his home and his properties. He died a poor man. To avoid capture, <strong>Thomas McKeam</strong> had to move his family around the country almost constantly. He served in Congress without pay and his family was kept in hiding. Ultimately, his possessions were taken from him and he too, died in poverty. The home and properties of <strong>Francis Lewis</strong> were destroyed and his wife was jailed. She died within a few months.</p><p>The properties of <strong>Ellery</strong>, <strong>Clymer</strong>, <strong>Hall</strong>, <strong>Walton</strong>, <strong>Gwinnett</strong>, <strong>Heyward</strong>, <strong>Ruttledge</strong>, and <strong>Middleton </strong>were vandalized and destroyed by British troops or their proxy terror squads. British <strong>General Cornwallis</strong> took over <strong>Thomas Nelson</strong>'s home for his headquarters. It was destroyed during the battle of Yorktown and Nelson died bankrupt. <strong>John Hart </strong>had to flee his homestead after his fields and gristmill were destroyed. For over a year he hid, living in forests and caves. When he returned home, his wife was dead and their 13 children all vanished. The grief and distress killed him within a few weeks. <strong>Norris </strong>and <strong>Livingston </strong>suffered similar fates.</p><p>When the imperial cabal decided to break up the United States, which precipitated the Civil War, they were confronted by President <strong>Abraham Lincoln</strong>. In 1863, Russian <strong>Czar Alexander II</strong> came to Lincoln's aid by dispatching his Baltic fleet to New York and his Pacific fleet to San Francisco. The move blocked the Empire's intervention on the side of the Confederation, which was planned by the British with the support of France and the Vatican. The U.S. - Russian alliance ultimately prevailed and the United States was preserved. </p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff25cd116-1221-4d1b-84de-df40a59cbabf_1064x817.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff25cd116-1221-4d1b-84de-df40a59cbabf_1064x817.jpeg" width="1064" height="817" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f25cd116-1221-4d1b-84de-df40a59cbabf_1064x817.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":817,"width":1064,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":635346,"alt":"","title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption data-sanitized-class="image-caption">Alliance between Russia and the USA saved the union from the British Empire.

Abraham Lincoln was killed in 1865, shortly after the end of the Civil War, and Alexander II was assassinated in St. Petersburg in 1881. In 1917 the whole family of the <strong>Czar Nicholas II</strong> was killed by the Bolsheviks on the orders of the New York banker <strong>Jacob Schiff</strong>. Arguably, the low life expectancy among the <strong>Kennedy </strong>family men is also likely due to their propensity to irritate the imperial cabal.</p><p>I do believe that Donald Trump and at least some of the people around him are probably well aware of all this and understand the stakes in the struggle they took on. During our call last night <strong>Steve Bannon</strong> confirmed that this is indeed the case. The nature of this conflict dictates that "they" can't be left standing and whoever comes into the White House after four years of Trump will be tasked with continuing the struggle until the imperial cabal is entirely uprooted and disenfranchised. </p><p data-attrs='{"url":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/next-week-start-the-days-of-thunder?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share","text":"Share","action":null,"class":null}' data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton" data-sanitized-class="button-wrapper"><a href="https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/next-week-start-the-days-of-thunder?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share" data-sanitized-class="button primary"><span>Share</span></a></p><h2>The clash is global and it’s between two systems of governance</h2><p>Just like in the Middle East, Ukraine and elsewhere, what we'll witness is another front in the struggle between two systems of governance. In that sense, the geopolitical conflicts around the world will likely be subordinated to the civil war shaping up in the United States, which could prove the central battle in the whole conflict. That civil war might not resemble the civil wars of the past with large armies fighting one another in fields and insurrections in cities. Instead, we'll likely see chaos, sabotage, assassinations and terrorism in the U.S. - but also in Europe and the U.K. </p><p>One of the participants in yesterday's call was also <strong>Christine Anderson</strong>, member of the German AfD party and the European Parliament. She reported that the authorities in Germany, as in France, UK and other European nations, are "berserk," and that the Trump election has pushed them over the edge of overt authoritarianism which they no longer even bother to conceal. </p><p>As a result, there's open talk about cancelling the upcoming 23 February elections in Germany, and more aggressive censorship of social media. <strong>Elon Musk</strong>'s recent interview of AfD leader <strong>Alice Weidel</strong> only added to the hysteria and now German authorities want to prosecute Musk as they construed his interview of Weidel as an illegal campaign donation.</p><p>Participants from the UK reported perhaps the most distressing news, agreeing that the situation in the nation is simply awful, that they do not even recognize their country. One doctor said that he sees that people are increasingly giving up and many are "losing the will to live." One concrete piece of news, which was confirmed to be true, is that for some months now, elected politicians no longer appoint judges in Britain. I did not understand who does appoint them as our call ran overtime before I had the chance to ask, but I'm sure it's probably some really nice people.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff68e9aba-41f4-4be8-afca-6ed325d0c702_1200x525.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff68e9aba-41f4-4be8-afca-6ed325d0c702_1200x525.jpeg" width="1200" height="525" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f68e9aba-41f4-4be8-afca-6ed325d0c702_1200x525.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":525,"width":1200,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":null,"alt":"Picture background","title":"Picture background","type":null,"href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="Picture background" title="Picture background" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Another distressing development in the UK is the upcoming <a href="https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3707">Climate and Nature Bill</a> which, if passed, will legally enshrine Britain's commitment to net zero policies, which could prove devastating to its economy including the energy market, farming and industrial output.

These are the times to be brave. Maybe Trump and the people around him just want a bigger slice of the pie and there's nothing more to it than that. But perhaps the struggle is bigger than that. Steve Bannon recently spent four months in prison - not a country club, as he said, but a real prison. Trump had two, perhaps more attempts at his life. The struggle is very real.</p><p>However, Trump’s adversaries are in a panic, according to Bannon. Most of them really didn't think Trump would win the elections last November. Bannon said that Trump is a "blunt force instrument," and that the cabal sustained a "blunt force trauma."

There's actually a proposal for an entity to clear U.S. treasury futures at the London clearing house which is overseen by the Bank of England. Some argue that the Bank of England would have control over ... a default scenario in this critical market instead of the U.S. Is this of concern to you?” <a href="https://x.com/WayneTechSPFX/status/1879934087064088636">Scott Bessent replied</a>:</p><blockquote><p>You raise a very important question and one that I will investigate further. I was unaware, until the past few days, of this with the new exchange. What I can tell you, as a student and professor of economic history, is that it is important for the U.S. - for the U.S. Treasuries, for us to be able to resolve any stress issues in the markets in the U.S. We saw during the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, that much of the, many of the problems emanated from the U.K. subsidiary, so this is something that ... my inclination is that the resolution authority must lie here in the U.S., but I will get back to you in writing with an answer on this, if confirmed.</p></blockquote><p>Before declaring his "inclination," Bessent thanked Senator Cornyn for bringing the matter to his attention, and during their exchange, Cornyn made it clear that the two have visited together at his office and discussed the issues. The first, obvious question is, why should American treasuries be cleared in London, through a clearing house under Bank of England's control? Who wanted this to happen, and where did such a proposal originate from? Why is there no public debate about such a major development? Why are the media ignoring it?</p><h2>Why should the Bank of England control U.S. debt?</h2><p>Moving the market for U.S. Treasuries - the world's largest market - to London is a huge deal with important consequences that should have to be explored, disclosed publicly, and clearly understood by the American people. Yet, even a learned professor of economic history wasn't even aware of this? I did find it interesting that it was a sitting U.S. Senator who brought the issue to Bessent's attention. What could possibly be the attraction of clearing US Treasury futures through London? For the U.S., nothing: this is yet another story exposing the hidden hand of London manipulating the internal and foreign policies of the United States.</p><h2>The Great Red Dragon</h2><p>In his book, "The Great Red Dragon," (<strong><a href="https://www.alor.org/Storage/Library/PDF/Moolfolk%20LB%20-%20great_red_dragon.pdf">PDF</a></strong>) American author <strong>L. B. Moolfolk </strong>explained how, in the second half of the 19th century, many U.S. farmers were ruined after the establishment of centralized clearing houses ("boards of trade") which were under control of British financiers or their agents. The clearing houses were able to manipulate the prices of crops and depress them to drive farmers out of business and thereby acquire large swathes of fertile agricultural land at fire-sale prices.</p><p>Scott Bessent's mention of Lehman Brothers reminded me of another kind of manipulation described by Moolfolk. I condensed Moolfolk's prose in this newsletter last May (I later posted it on Substack - it is at <strong><a href="https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/downfall-the-empires-destiny?utm_source=publication-search">this link</a></strong>):</p><blockquote><p>In broad strokes, [The Great Red Dragon] documents the takeover of the American economy by British banking interests. Their methods entailed periodically flooding the economy with credit and generating a boom. Then, when the bankers' nets were full and everyone was in debt, the bankers would abruptly withdraw credit. The practice was simply predatory. The triggering event usually involved a high-profile bank failure, which would cause an economy-wide avalanche of bankruptcies. Large, politically connected banks would then take over choice businesses, farmland and real estate for pennies on the dollar. Within our lifetimes, the Lehman Brothers’ failure in 2008 would have been a typical example of this, but Covid pandemic response in 2020 served the same predatory purpose.During the 19th century, US economy endured three major financial crashes: in 1837, 1857, and in 1873. Each crash triggered major economic depressions with mass-scale culling of smaller banks and other businesses. The collapse enabled the ruling oligarchy to consolidate monopolies over all the key industries.</p></blockquote><p>Relinquishing control over the U.S. Treasuries market to the Bank of England could enable similar manipulations. Incidentally, I do find it curious that the city of London features so many dragon sculptures:</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd22cd6c-ade4-4cc8-8d9d-50fd207f90b2_1900x1900.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd22cd6c-ade4-4cc8-8d9d-50fd207f90b2_1900x1900.jpeg" width="1456" height="1456" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fd22cd6c-ade4-4cc8-8d9d-50fd207f90b2_1900x1900.jpeg","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":1456,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":1016755,"alt":"","title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" title="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption data-sanitized-class="image-caption">Hmm… OK, so someone in London is into dragons.</figcaption></figure></div><h2>World system of financial control in private hands</h2><p>In "Tragedy and Hope," <strong>Carroll Quigley</strong> warned us that, "The powers of financial capitalism had [a] far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. … The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and direct injury of all other economic groups.”</p><p>Quigley wrote those words in 1965, suggesting that the conspiracy was discernible many decades ago. Some 18 years later (1983), <strong>Lord Jacob Rothschild</strong> suggested that, "Two broad types of giant institutions, the worldwide financial service company and the international commercial bank with a global trading competence, may converge to form the ultimate, all-powerful, many-headed financial conglomerate."</p><h2>Soft disclosure foreshadows the coming battle</h2><p>The exchange between Senator Cornyn and Mr. Bessent seems to be a part of the 'soft disclosure' of the secretive arrangements and relationships involving Great Britain, which have influenced global events during the past decades. We've seen <strong>Elon Musk</strong> attack the British government in a series of searing posts on X. Donald Trump did not invite Britain's Prime Minister to his inauguration, but he did invite the Russian and Chinese presidents.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd2845feb-9f9a-4c54-a935-93af63a44eda_1167x696.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd2845feb-9f9a-4c54-a935-93af63a44eda_1167x696.png" width="1167" height="696" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d2845feb-9f9a-4c54-a935-93af63a44eda_1167x696.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":696,"width":1167,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":616734,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":null,"isProcessing":false}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption data-sanitized-class="image-caption">These aren’t even the worst of Mr. Musk’s tweets!</figcaption></figure></div><p>Earlier this week, former British MP <strong>Andrew Bridgen</strong> gave an interview in which he disclosed some shocking information about the sickening depravity and the utter moral bankruptcy of Britain's political class - at the very least a significant part of it. The relevant 2-minute segment of that interview is at <a href="https://x.com/triffic_stuff_/status/1879070683847639114">this link</a>.</p><p>More than a century ago <strong>Lord Acton</strong> prophesied that, “the issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the bankers.” It may be that this fight is now upon us.

Something fascinating that I recently learned is that Britain is still heavily reliant on its former colonies for its GDP and public revenues.</p><p>Namely, according to a 2016 report, "<strong><a href="https://waronwant.org/resources/new-colonialism-britains-scramble-africas-energy-and-mineral-resources">New Colonialism: Britain's Scramble for African Energy and Mineral Resources</a></strong>," 101 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, most of them British, have mining operations in 37 sub-Saharan African countries. They collectively control over $1 trillion worth of Africa's most valuable resources. The UK government has used its power and influence to ensure that British mining companies have access to Africa's raw materials. This was the case during the colonial period and is still the case today. The decolonization movement that has now largely deprived France of its African dependencies could do the same to Britain.</p><h2>Will FTSE rally, or will it tank?</h2><p>The reason I bring this up is because in the past I predicted that Britain's gathering financial and economic crisis will cause a strong rally in the British stock markets. But if Britain loses control over resource rich areas of Africa (and the Middle East), then its stock market could collapse. Either way, I believe the most reliable way to trade these events is through trend following, which is why I included the GBP, FTSE and gilts in our <strong><a href="https://trendcompass.substack.com/">daily TrendCompass Key Markets report</a></strong>: if the coming trends are bullish, we'll be long; if they’re bearish, we'll be short. The market itself will tell us.</p><p>I originally published the above article in the above linked TrendCompass report. A few hours later I sat down for a chat with <span data-attrs='{"name":"CryptoRich","id":80529706,"type":"user","url":null,"photo_url":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/41401c34-92cf-4806-9aa7-bf1147e63410_1024x1024.png","uuid":"2b5e378a-a591-4ae8-bac9-bb5fa7f7e3d2"}' data-component-name="MentionToDOM" data-sanitized-class="mention-wrap"></span> and Tom Luongo.

There are a few different gems for building Rails internal admin dashboards. Next time I build one I want to do a deep dive and see if I like any of them. This is a new one I came across that looks interesting.

This exercise in studying universal history will also involve a prolonged appreciation to the nature of evil and the oligarchist deep state structures which have sought to undermine the victories of 1776 and transform the USA into a morally bankrupt expansionist empire. The title of Sam’s lecture was ‘Trump, Tariffs and Treason: A Return to the True Economic Heritage of the United States’.<br><br>Sam’s lecture will be followed by 10 weeks of lectures on the topic of ‘Saving the Republic’ tackling different aspects of the forgotten ‘American System’ with classes showcasing the battle lines of 1776, Alexander Hamilton’s war with Wall Street, the Henry Clay patriots, John Quincy Adams’ program, Lincoln, Henry C.

The situation, she added, is “complicated and multi-faceted,” and Trump’s actions are not all coherent with each other. He is impulsive and innovative at the same time.\n\nBut far too many people are wasting time debating whether the glass is half empty, or half full, listing off the good and the bad things Trump is doing and saying – when what is actually happening is that the entire nature of the “glass” they think they are looking at has changed dramatically. And that transformation demands our immediate action. “We are now experiencing a tectonic change, where the 500 years of colonialism is coming to an end, and the BRICS countries are trying to create a system which allows for the economic development of the Global South.” They have become protagonists in the shaping of Man’s future.\n\nDespite his uninformed (and counterproductive) attacks on the BRICS, President Trump has stated his desire to prevent World War III, to normalize relations with Putin’s Russia and end the Ukraine war, to cooperate with China to make the world a better place for all nations. This change has created a strategic opening that must be quickly leveraged to bring about a new reality “on the ground.” The most urgent –perhaps also the hardest – place for that to happen is in Southwest Asia.\n\nThe Israel-Palestine crisis, including the genocide in Gaza and increasingly in the West Bank, can only be solved by reconstructing the entire area along the lines proposed by Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan. Abundant fresh water, power, high-speed rail lines, a rebuilt health and education infrastructure are all within reach. Only by getting to work on building that infrastructure can real optimism for the future be created, an optimism that {both} Israelis and Palestinians so desperately need.\n\nTo those who argue today that a political solution is needed before the economics can proceed, Lyndon LaRouche responded 35 years ago, on August 21, 1990: “For years, our proposals for economic development, have been repeatedly brushed aside, with the advice that a political settlement must come first, and then an economic cooperation for general development of the region, might become possible. We have repeatedly said, and rightly so, that that line of argument is wrong, and even dangerously absurd. The simple reason is, that without a policy of economic development, the Arabs and Israelis have no common basis for political agreement: no common interest.”\n\nThe LaRouche Oasis Plan can work – especially if the United States and China cooperate to bring it about. As a Jan. 22 lead editorial in the semi-official Chinese daily Global Times stated, reflecting thinking in Beijing: &quot;What is certain is that as Trump begins his second presidential term, there is widespread hope for a mature and stable China-US relationship. For both countries, there is a lot of potential for various forms of cooperation; the key is whether they can meet each other halfway.... A return to rational and pragmatic policies toward China is the shared aspiration of the peoples of both China and the US.&quot;\n\nThe Oasis Plan is a good place to put that commitment into practice.\n\nJoin the International Peace Coalition this Friday at 11am ET with Larry Johnson (retired CIA official and a co-founder of the VIPS) and others to discuss the next steps in the process","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i2.ytimg.com/vi/IN5QyZyu3yI/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

After now eighty years of moral and cultural degeneration, bringing civilization to the brink of a catastrophe, it is as if America and much of the so-called West is coming to its senses, rediscovering the ideas and values of American republicanism and Christian civilization, throwing off the corrupt leaders who have presided over it and through the remarkable movement that has swept Donald Trump back into the White House, regained control of our destiny and answered his call to create a &quot;new golden age&quot;.\n\nAt this Saturday’s Promethean Action class, Dan Leach and Bruce Director will discuss the unseen but very powerful spiritual force that is motivating people of all ages and demographic groups to rediscover our true patriotic heritage, to embrace traditional moral values and to participate in the joyful work of rebuilding our once proud scientific and industrial achievement.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/6ZT6aauRGa8/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

{"enclosures":[{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/v/9gtU31aCkPA?version=3","title":"Confirm #Gabbard and #Patel to Stop Wars and Lies","description":"Live Dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, January 29, 11am EDT/5pm CET. \nSend your questions to questions@schillerinstitute.org\n\nDiane Sare, President of The LaRouche Organization, notes in her statement, “Is There a Democrat in the Senate with Half the Integrity of Frank Church? If so, you will act to ensure the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel!”, that the confirmation hearings for Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel coincide with the 50 year anniversary of the establishment of the Church Committee: \n\n“Fifty years ago today [Jan. 27], the U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly to establish the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, known as the “Church Committee,” chaired by Idaho Democratic Sen. Frank Church.\n\nIt was a turbulent period, following the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his younger brother Robert, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, and the Vietnam War and the opposition to it. President Nixon had been forced out by “Watergate.” It had come to light that various U.S. government agencies had been involved in some rather unsavory and unconstitutional activities, both abroad and against American citizens at home, and members of the Senate, led by prominent Democrats—unlike the Democratic Party leadership of today—decided that an investigation was warranted. …” https://laroucheorganization.com/article/2025/01/27/there-democrat-senate-half-integrity-frank-church\n\nIn discussion with associates today, Helga Zepp-LaRouche said that the strategic situation today is so full of contradictions that the only thing one can really say is that these contradictions will sooner or later detonate, and until then there is no predictable course that things will take. This is why, therefore, actions must be taken now to put fundamentally new solutions on the table.\n\nZepp-LaRouche stated that she hopes Trump’s focus on the “Deep State” will lead to some changes that will redefine all the many parameters of the other topics. Obviously, the first big decision comes this week, this Wednesday and Thursday, [Jan. 30], when there will be Senate hearings concerning the appointments of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, for Director of National Intelligence and FBI Director, respectively.\n\nThe LaRouche Movement is fully mobilized to secure the nominations of Gabbard and Patel. \n\nZepp-LaRouche continued: “One of the best examples of the contradictions is that among the executive orders which Trump issued on Jan. 23, was one which creates a “U.S. Strategic Reserve of Cryptocurrency,” which called for protection of the U.S. dollar, “including through actions to promote the development and growth of lawful and legitimate dollar-backed stablecoins worldwide.”  \n\nSergey Glazyev commented on that, on Jan. 25 (https://t.me/glazieview/6790), and he said, “this innovation can have fatal consequences. If before this decision, the dollar financial pyramid was losing stability, mainly due to a decrease in external demand for dollar instruments, now domestic demand will also fall as the cryptocurrency market expands. … [T]his will inevitably undermine the financial foundations of the American state. … This already losing stability financial system can collapse under the onslaught of an avalanche of uncontrolled issued cryptocurrencies. … Trump limits dollar circulation to the existing banking system, not allowing the dollar to circulate in an alternative distributed ledger system.”\n\nThese developments underscore the necessity that all well-intentioned persons overcome their false axioms in economics, as well as other areas of thinking, and implement the physical economic principles of Lyndon LaRouche. \n\nTake the case of Gaza. The ceasefire is still holding, despite significant tensions in the West Bank and Lebanon. What better opportunity to rebuild the West’s credibility and moral standing in the world than to use this moment to build up a beautiful, independent nation of Palestine by creating modern infrastructure and water systems, Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan (https://laroucheorganization.com/larouche-plan-southwest-asia), across the region, ensuring prosperity and stability there for decades to come? Such an endeavor could naturally be taken up together with China, a country which has already chosen the path of technological and economic development over financial speculation and militarization.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i2.ytimg.com/vi/9gtU31aCkPA/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

If so, you will act to ensure the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel!”, that the confirmation hearings for Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel coincide with the 50 year anniversary of the establishment of the Church Committee: \n\n“Fifty years ago today [Jan. 27], the U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly to establish the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, known as the “Church Committee,” chaired by Idaho Democratic Sen. Frank Church.\n\nIt was a turbulent period, following the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his younger brother Robert, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, and the Vietnam War and the opposition to it. President Nixon had been forced out by “Watergate.” It had come to light that various U.S. government agencies had been involved in some rather unsavory and unconstitutional activities, both abroad and against American citizens at home, and members of the Senate, led by prominent Democrats—unlike the Democratic Party leadership of today—decided that an investigation was warranted. …” https://laroucheorganization.com/article/2025/01/27/there-democrat-senate-half-integrity-frank-church\n\nIn discussion with associates today, Helga Zepp-LaRouche said that the strategic situation today is so full of contradictions that the only thing one can really say is that these contradictions will sooner or later detonate, and until then there is no predictable course that things will take. This is why, therefore, actions must be taken now to put fundamentally new solutions on the table.\n\nZepp-LaRouche stated that she hopes Trump’s focus on the “Deep State” will lead to some changes that will redefine all the many parameters of the other topics. Obviously, the first big decision comes this week, this Wednesday and Thursday, [Jan. 30], when there will be Senate hearings concerning the appointments of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, for Director of National Intelligence and FBI Director, respectively.\n\nThe LaRouche Movement is fully mobilized to secure the nominations of Gabbard and Patel. \n\nZepp-LaRouche continued: “One of the best examples of the contradictions is that among the executive orders which Trump issued on Jan. 23, was one which creates a “U.S. Strategic Reserve of Cryptocurrency,” which called for protection of the U.S. dollar, “including through actions to promote the development and growth of lawful and legitimate dollar-backed stablecoins worldwide.”  \n\nSergey Glazyev commented on that, on Jan. 25 (https://t.me/glazieview/6790), and he said, “this innovation can have fatal consequences. If before this decision, the dollar financial pyramid was losing stability, mainly due to a decrease in external demand for dollar instruments, now domestic demand will also fall as the cryptocurrency market expands. … [T]his will inevitably undermine the financial foundations of the American state. … This already losing stability financial system can collapse under the onslaught of an avalanche of uncontrolled issued cryptocurrencies. … Trump limits dollar circulation to the existing banking system, not allowing the dollar to circulate in an alternative distributed ledger system.”\n\nThese developments underscore the necessity that all well-intentioned persons overcome their false axioms in economics, as well as other areas of thinking, and implement the physical economic principles of Lyndon LaRouche. \n\nTake the case of Gaza. The ceasefire is still holding, despite significant tensions in the West Bank and Lebanon. What better opportunity to rebuild the West’s credibility and moral standing in the world than to use this moment to build up a beautiful, independent nation of Palestine by creating modern infrastructure and water systems, Lyndon LaRouche’s Oasis Plan (https://laroucheorganization.com/larouche-plan-southwest-asia), across the region, ensuring prosperity and stability there for decades to come? Such an endeavor could naturally be taken up together with China, a country which has already chosen the path of technological and economic development over financial speculation and militarization.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/vogRfEAAbTY/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

{"enclosures":[{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/v/rusQeAqM7sg?version=3","title":"Make America Intelligent Again!!","description":"International Peace Coalition Meeting #87, Friday January 31, 11am ET/5pm CET\nWe will be joined with Ray McGovern (VIPS), Mossi Raz (Israeli politician, Activist) and others for the discussion.\n\nJoin the discussion period on Zoom: https://schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/ipc_meeting\n\nWhile there is a real possibility that a new security and development architecture may be advanced through the intense efforts of various of the world’s Presidents—among them Russia’s Putin, China’s Xi Jinping, Brazil’s Lula—to engage the second Trump Administration in a dialogue about “peace through development”—the outlook enunciated by Pope Paul VI in his groundbreaking encyclical Populorum Progressio—such a transformation in the American outlook, for historical reasons, cannot succeed without the adoption, in some approximation, of the physical economic solutions of the economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche. The LaRouche Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia, also known as “the Middle East,” illustrates why. Gaza and the West Bank—the State of Palestine—cannot be treated merely as a construction site, rather than a civilizational crossroads.\n\nThe fact that this is the crossroads of not only Africa, Asia and Europe, but of the Islamic, Christian and Jewish faiths and cultures can be its strength, and not be its weakness, when approached from above. Rebuilding is necessary, true, but water and peaceful nuclear power, not oil speculation, mass deportations and war, must be its future. The LaRouche Oasis Plan can only be implemented through a combination of China, Russia and the United States leading that effort. No one of those nations is trusted by itself to lead an effort together, with the neighbors in Southwest Asia. Together, however, such a thing can be done, such a miracle can be achieved. The joint implementation of the Oasis Plan, or an approximation of it, must become a topic of discussion among the three leaders in the immediate future.\n\nThe institutional opposition to LaRouche and his Oasis Plan, composed, in its essentials, over 50 years ago, came, not from Southwest Asia, but from the “Henry Kissinger” Anglo-American intelligence agencies that still oppose it today. These agencies, used regularly by powerful financial forces to violate the United States Constitution and its Preamble’s “promotion of the General Welfare” clause, have to be restructured, or abolished. The very welcome release of the JFK, MLK and RFK assassination files—but only now, decades after the occurrence of those events—demonstrates why.\n\nThe near-ruination of America’s national security capability—and through it, the American Republic itself—by means of criminal, treasonous operations carried out through the “special relationship” with British intelligence, and its extension known as “the Five Eyes,” had brought the Presidency to the precipice of disaster, from September 11, 2001, until the recent process leading up to the election of November 5, 2024. (This involved not only the American elections, but also the emergence of the BRICS and BRICS-Plus nations during 2023 and 2024, including their attempted role in the Ukraine conflict, and especially South Africa’s role at the International Court of Justice.) If the appointments to the position of Director of National Intelligence and head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) go through as proposed, that corrosive U.S.-U.K. “special relationship” can undergo a political root-canal.\n\nWith respect to Tulsi Gabbard, 60 intelligence professionals have just endorsed the Gabbard nomination for Director of National Intelligence.\n\nThe input into the President, particularly on international security and military matters that will determine whether millions of people on this planet live or die, or are displaced through war, must be taken out of the hands of those that have placed us on the precipice of self-extinction. The function of the Director of National Intelligence, the person who leads the daily briefing of the President, is decisive. While, generally speaking, the candidates that Trump has proposed have gotten through, it is essential in these next days to mobilize the American people and others to ensure that this particular nomination, and the nomination of Kash Patel, go through. Those presently hiding in the bowels of the 18 intelligence agencies who are having conniptions about this role being given to someone who is not a member of the so-called “deep state,” are not worried so much about Gabbard, but about what it will mean for the American people to be so aroused as to demand transparency and accountability from those agencies.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/rusQeAqM7sg/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}
