Hence, the chicken or the egg analogy. I agree that the present system is much to be desired. That the present system rewards the greedy and punishes the the rest. Hence, if I didn't join them in their cabal network of capitalizing and exploiting on the hardwork or of the blood, sweat and tears of the human cattle, I will not go up the ladder of prominence/wealth at the top of the foodchain and remain among the bottomfeeders.
    That's because there are no "dark cabals" in complete control of the system, with them separated from the "bottom feeders." Rather, global capitalism involves increasing production and consumption of goods in return for profits, with most of those profits consisting of money, and it's the same money used to support production and consumption of goods.

    Most of the wealth of these "dark cabals" does not come in the form of "hoarded resources" but money. In order for that money to have any value, those resources need to be exploited, not hoarded. And those resources are exploited to increase sales, which in turn increases profits and supports financial speculation, which in turn enriches these "dark cabals."

    In short, in order for these "dark cabals" to enrich themselves, they have to make sure that the "bottom feeders" aren't "bottom feeders."

    That's why consumption of resources have been rising considerably worldwide. That's why income levels have also been going up, together with a growing middle class in BRIC and emerging markets. That's why the same "dark cabals" are moving their "wealth" to the same as demand destruction is taking place in OECD countries.

    All that is needed to support a middle class lifestyle, which includes industrialization, the availability of Internet forums and infrastructure to support that, manufacturing of computers and various electronic goods, and the capital needed to finance all these and pay for their use. That's also what gives the money in your wallet and in your bank account of value, money needed to pay for electricity and computers and other things needed to access this forum, not to mention many other expenses.

    That is why an abundance paradigm is critical: the "bottom feeders" have to be told that there are more than enough resources and things like "free energy," and that peak oil, global warming, and other predicaments are simply "hoaxes." That way, they will slowly move from "bottom feeders" to consumers, which is what "dark cabals" need to make sure that it's "business as usual."


    I think the next years will unfold as the following. The economic crises will continue to become worse and worse, whether it is by mistake after mistake of our stupid governments and bankers, or by subtle orchestration from hidden powers (the conspiracy theory) it does not matter.
    It will be driven by a combination of peak oil (and generally a resource crunch), environmental damage and the effects of climate change, and a global recession due to combinations of financial speculation and consumer spending. Governments and corporations will remain "stupid" by ignoring these, maintaining that they are merely "hoaxes," and push for an "abundance paradigm" to encourage people to continue spending, again to make sure that money has value.

    The problem is that nature always bats last, no matter how many conspiracy theories are brought about to argue otherwise.


    The austerity measures will deepen the current recession into a new great depression, with huge numbers of unemployed and worse, social unrest. The whole debt mess is one without exit, like a cancer or like a drug addiction. It is a destructive pattern of debt and following bail outs which create new debt. I think now that there is actually a hidden orchestration by the powers that be, behind the scenes. It cannot be a mere coincidence the prosecution and exploitation of countries, by pointing at their big debt and then demanding them to ask for external aid (which is debt and a loss of sovereignty). It looks to me that this is orchestrated to cause the collapse of economy in the whole planet, and bring about a new world order. But even if the conspiracy does not exist, the current situation is one without exit. Except if the whole thing crashes and restarts again with brand new rules.
    The debt problem is the tip of the iceberg. A resource crunch combined with the long-term effects of environmental damage, including climate change, will make that predicament look like a walk in the park.

    However, TPTB will subtly make it appear that the debt problem is the only thing that matters, and that it's not capitalism but greed or stupidity that is the cause of current problems.

    That is why an abundance paradigm is important for TPTB, presumably because if the "dark cabals" are taken down and that "fringe" science is emphasized, then it will be a wonderful, glorious world for everyone, with "true" capitalism made possible by "true" abundance.

    Unfortunately, reality is far removed from this.


    In lieu of hoarding, what I truly meant is CONTROL of so called 'scarce resources' such as Oil. The British East India company and other imperialistic empires CONTROL the trade routes to the 'scarce and therefore valuable' SPICES and GOLD. If we are to FLOOD the market with spices and gold, the corresponding value will then drop. Their power and wealth then decrease.
    There is actually no "control" of such resources by TPTB. That's because much of the wealth of TPTB consists of paper. Even their oil and gold futures are simply contracts for resources that they don't possess physically and in several cases do not even exist!

    The irony is that for that paper to have value both demand and consumption of resources have to keep rising. In short, for TPTB to become wealthier, the "bottom feeders" have to consume more, not less.

    The catch is that there aren't enough resources available. That is why an abundance paradigm is critical for TPTB. People have to be convinced that there is an abundance of resources, and that one group or another (government, cabals) or one problem (debt) has to be emphasized so that the economic crisis will look easy to solve. Whatever happens, people have to be told that capitalism will not lead to "humanity's downfall" but something else.

    It's for the same reason that global warming and peak oil have to be denied. The capitalist machine needs to continue rolling.


    So, let me rephrase that: their abundance paradigm not the true abundance of which I am referring is just an illusion. In short, their wealth is just illusion.
    If you are referring to another sort of wealth, such as spiritual wealth or compassion, then I agree with you. I just don't see how this point counters what I've been saying and how such ideas would not be more appropriate in another section, like Realm of Thought.

    I will point out, though, that given a resource crunch (which includes the effects of peak oil) and the long-term effects of global warming, this "true abundance" will become dominant. I do not think it will take place given claims that peak oil is a hoax or that "free energy" will save us. If any, such ideas will only strengthen illusions concerning wealth and the future.


    Chi or Energy all around us is truly abundant. Everything in matter corresponds to energy by the equation postulated by Einstein. Solar radiation is powered by nuclear fusion. We can only capture a miniscule portion of that immense power through photovoltaic solar panes to power some of our homes.
    The problem isn't energy but the material resources needed to make use of them, including petrochemicals, various minerals, and even fresh water. The same goes for mechanized agriculture and essentially a manufacturing system that is heavily dependent on oil.


    The limitations of matter created an illusion of scarce resources. When everything in the universe including matter is pure energy. Between atoms and subatomic partic is that immense AETHERIC SPACE, which is not really empty. But occupied by the abundant Scalar energy waiting to condense and materialize from the higher dimension to 3D.

    Tesla et al have managed to harvest that energy and convert to electricity to power lightbulbs.

    FIAT LUX.

    As much as I appreciate such musings, I don't see how they will be used in the short term to solve a resource crunch, especially one that requires material resources.


    Again, we are in the same boat. Just some misunderstanding. I just like polarizing them as good or evil for ease of discussion and for politicizing for others to see the collective evil/greed in the system in the people, the controllers or the money powers.

    Instead of simply black and white or the DUALITY, Everything is in between.
    Thanks for sharing that. I would like to argue, though, that these points do not counter the claim given in the thread title.


    But there are really some good factions and bad factions. For, e.g the faction of Bush and the neocons other neonazis are on the bad side. You do agree that 9/11 is a false flag.

    While most of the elites are moderates. And there are good ones.

    For their fruits, we shall know them.

    You can see that there is no conflagration of nuclear destruction, we can attribute that to the saner heads that prevail. Whether you believe in the invisible higher powers or in the spiritual hierarchy making a hand to that.
    That is because nuclear destruction will work against the so-called "good" elites. That is why the alternative has been the Cold War, with military powers preying on weaker countries in exchange for cheap resources and labor.

    Again, the goal is to maintain a global capitalist system. With that, limited warfare is preferable.

    But when the combined effects of capitalism take place--debt, peak oil, and a climate change---then one should not be surprised if more conflict takes place.


    Peak Oil is a myth in a sense that as the doom prophet of that says that it's going to be gone in a few years from now. Relatively speaking it could still abundant about 500 years more or less factoring the demand and the population growth. Russian scientists are refuting Peak oil as such and observed that abiotic Oil is continously produced deep in the crust-mantle, and they devised deep drilling techniques to extract that. Fossil or living matter from ages past can't go deep to that, hence, abiotic. Majority of oil is not biological. But some speculated biological transmutation from deep microorganisms facilitating the creation of abiotic oil. So it's biotic after all. Ang gulo no, ha ha.
    Peak oil is not a myth. Oil production in the U.S. peaked in 1970. Production in two-thirds of oil-producing countries has peaked. Oil discoveries peaked in 1964. Oil production has barely gone up since 2006 even with higher oil prices, with increasing demand met by non-conventional sources of energy.

    Only TPTB will argue that peak oil is a myth. That's the only way to make sure that "bottom feeders" won't be scared of the future, and will continue to borrow and spend. Why? Because that's the only way that the wealth of the TPTB, which consists primarily of money, maintains its value.

    Claims of abiotic oil, together with other nonsense such as an abundance of what is technically recoverable (never minding EROEI) are also employed for the same reason: people have to be told that everything is fine, and that we're merely experiencing a "snag" in our regular programming. And in case that peak oil isn't a "myth," then don't worry because there's "free energy."


    But after 500 years, what is continually produced deep down there can't sustain anylonger the demand at that time. So, I don't think I refer to Peak Oil as Free energy.

    Please refer to the Podcast which I linked and see if Peak Oil as one of the Free energy.
    Your first sentence shows that peak oil isn't a myth. And I don't know where the second sentence and paragraph are coming from, as I never argued that you stated that peak oil is free energy. My point is found in my previous paragraph: TPTB will argue that peak oil is a myth. And in case they don't convince people about that, then they bring up abiotic oil, free energy, and anything that will promote an abundance paradigm.


    Experts are now saying, the price of oil is more influenced by speculators now and not the actual production as in before.
    I am not surprised, as this is one way for TPTB to maintain their wealth.


    Why not genocidal euthanasia? Which the neoMalthusian neonazi or zionazi dark cabal wants. As said earlier, I don't want the monetarist system we have currently. As in another thread, I wanted a system with zero interest lending and reprieve after 50 years as in the biblical jubilee. I want more regulation or the reinstitution of the Glass-steagall to prevent monetarist bankers from speculating which caused the ballooning of financial derivatives and the consequent collapse. I don't want the Globalist monetarist policy of DEREGULATION, PRIVATIZATION AND LIBERALIZATION which makes everything in the food chain under them.
    Again, a "genocidal euthanasia" works against what the "dark cabal wants." That's because a global capitalist system requires increasing production and consumption of goods, which in turn means a growing population and growing resource consumption per capita.

    That's why an abundance paradigm is important for TPTB. People have to be told that there's an abundance of resources. Any problems are merely brought about by greed, stupidity, speculation, and anything that will support that paradigm. What TPTB does not want to hear is the threat of a resource crunch. That is why it is important for them to argue that peak oil is a hoax.

    A zero-interest system works against not only TPTB but a growing middle class worldwide that depends on the same system to maintain a middle class lifestyle, which includes, among other things, accessing this forum.

    And inasmuch as one would like to imagine that TPTB wants to turn everyone else into "bottom feeders," it is likely the opposite.


    No. I didn't say that their wealth is composed of hoarded resources. You put words in my mouth. I agree that much of their wealth is illusion as I explained earlier. We are on the same boat.
    That is why they support an abundance paradigm and see global warming, peak oil, and other predicaments as hoaxes. Increased borrowing and spending among the global population is what keeps much of their wealth valuable.


    There are also two faction inside the Vatican. There is infiltration of freemasons already. There is the pre and post Vatican II. So I agree.

    We almost agree in almost anything. I think the point of disagreement is you don't believe in the abundance posited by the higher dimensional realms or the abundance of REAL ENERGY or CHI. Energy or Chi is not merely an Eastern philosophy or a pseudoscientific babbling but it is real and can be measured. [We can even extract gravitational energy. Again, listen to the podcast.] You are also limited by your materialist philosophy and thus have that apocalyptic neoMalthusian frame of mind. It's not really different from the Marxist viewpoint which also negates the existence of spiritual reality. Marxism or Communism which is the same custodial brotherhood network creation as Karl Marx was also their brethren. Just like the organized custodial religions of the custodial brotherhoods or TPTB. It's higly apocalyptic with a belief in Utopia but on worker's utopia. It's part of the dialectic opposition to posit as the opposite to Fascism of Hitler, another of the brotherhood creation as well. To make it appear, the capitalist status quo as the better deal. Hitler was also a member of the dark occult lodge, OTO. Any freemason or an occult practitioner knows that.
    For me, references to "pseudoscientific babbling" are meant to distract people from a so-called "apocalyptic neo-Malthusian frame of mind." It becomes even more absurd when one argues that TPTB, Marxism, and even Hitler had the same frame of mind!

    My views are more obvious: a global capitalist system requires increasing production and consumption of goods to continue growing. TPTB earns from such a system in the form of money, and that money has value only if there is continued production and consumption of goods. Thus, if any, TPTB is far from "neo-Malthusian". Given that, TPTB would support the same "pseudoscientific babbling" in order to encourage people to continue borrowing and spending, which in turn supports continued production and consumption of goods, and makes TPTB wealthy.

    That's why an abundance paradigm, which includes "pseudoscientific babbling," is important for TPTB. People have to be convinced in all ways possible that there is an abundance of resource and energy. That way, they will be encouraged to borrow and spend more, which is what makes TPTB wealthy.

    The question isn't whether one wants to return to barter but when will it happen. The reason has to do with internal flaws in capitalism. That is, capitalism requires increasing production and consumption of resources needed to support a growing global population and growing demand. For free market capitalism, there is an additional need for increasing profits, which increases production and consumption further as well as debt (in the form of money) needed to finance both. Include financial speculation, and debt increases even more. The use of technology (and the use of oil is one of those technologies) accelerates resource consumption and pollution. Meanwhile, global population and resource demand continue to rise.

    With that, we face three predicaments: a credit crunch brought about by increasing debt, a resource crunch brought about by increasing consumption and environmental damage, and the long-term effects of environmental damage and climate change not only on resource availability but also on health.

    Wackos keep spinning the issues like crazy.

    The three world predicaments are caused by SOCIALISM rather than capitalism. (1) Government bailouts are socialist devices and never capitalist. Governments overprinted money to cover huge revenue losses and tax collection deficits in order to prevent jobs loss.

    (2) The concept of environmental preservation too is a socialist illusion based on the WRONG idea that the Earth is stagnant and that mankind is culprit for these changes. Truth is the Earth is ever changing. It started completely barren and void of life and over billions of years, evolved into the planet that we call home. If we were to measure the amount of time of human habitation, this would not even measure 1 second if the total age of the Earth is 1 hour. Just like the dinosaurs, mankind should brace for Ordinary and predictable changes that would someday make it extinct.

    Environmentalist movement uses strong hand methods that the NAZIs applied in WW2. If you feel FORCED to follow stupid ideas helplessly in the guise that it is saving the planet Earth just like the Germans thought that genocide or destruction is needed to safeguard the Fatherland, then that is applied SOCIO-POLITICAL SCIENCE for you. Just like Hitler and the Nazis, everyone who follows would be led to their extinction and bankruptcy too.

    (3) Resources invested on poor ideas such as PRESERVATION of the environment leads to LOSSES. Look at Japan and its Kyoto Protocol. The Earth moving changes were ignored and the protocol thought that air quality is going to preserve the planet and make it more livable. Yet a simple tsunami and earthquake created debris the size of a continent FLOATING dangerously in the Pacific Ocean. This is not to mention that an Italian managed Nuke Plant was abandoned during the critical moment leading to the nuclear meltdown. Air quality in this case did nothing to preserve the environment and save the planet Earth. Which leads me thinking what Italians, Germans and the Japanese got in common? Were they not against the USA during WW2?

    Matthew Stein - Hour 1 - When Technology Fails & Six Civilization Busters
    April 19, 2012

    Author, engineer, designer, and green builder, Mat Stein was born and raised in Burlington Vermont. He graduated from MIT in 1978 with a major in Mechanical Engineering. Mat has built hurricane and earthquake resistant, energy efficient, environmentally friendly homes. He has also designed consumer water filtration devices, solar PV roofing panels, medical bacteriological filters, emergency chemical drench systems, computer disk drives, and portable fiberglass buildings. Today, Mat owns and operates Stein Design and Construction, providing product design services, engineering analysis, and green building. He joins us to discuss six major trends he calls, "civilization busters."If these trends don't change soon, it may well be the perfect storm. We'll also talk about shifting to sustainability, the free market, consumer's responsibility and government regulation.

    No, it's caused by free market capitalism, including between $600 trillion to over a quadrillion dollars in unregulated derivatives. That, and not money "printed" by government, is what dominates total money supply.

    Another result of free market capitalism is governments working for big businesses, especially large financial institutions. The, the bailouts.


    (2) The concept of environmental preservation too is a socialist illusion based on the WRONG idea that the Earth is stagnant and that mankind is culprit for these changes. Truth is the Earth is ever changing. It started completely barren and void of life and over billions of years, evolved into the planet that we call home.

Just like the dinosaurs, mankind should brace for Ordinary and predictable changes that would someday make it extinct.
    No, it's not a "socialist illusion" but actually started by the Republicans through the formation of the EPA.

    It's not based on the premise that the Earth isn't stagnant but ironically on the opposite. Thus, whatever happens in one aspect of the ecosystem can affect others. In contrast to that is the illusion is that environmental protection is not needed because such systems are stagnant.

    The rest of your paragraph is irrelevant as environmental protection is done to ensure the safety of human beings.


    Environmentalist movement uses strong hand methods that the NAZIs applied in WW2. If you feel FORCED to follow stupid ideas helplessly in the guise that it is saving the planet Earth just like the Germans thought that genocide or destruction is needed to safeguard the Fatherland, then that is applied SOCIO-POLITICAL SCIENCE for you.

    No, it doesn't, as armed and security forces worldwide are controlled by governments working for businesses.


    (3) Resources invested on poor ideas such as PRESERVATION of the environment leads to LOSSES. Look at Japan and its Kyoto Protocol. The Earth moving changes were ignored and the protocol thought that air quality is going to preserve the planet and make it more livable.

Air quality in this case did nothing to preserve the environment and save the planet Earth. Which leads me thinking what Italians, Germans and the Japanese got in common? Were they not against the USA during WW2?
    No, it doesn't lead to losses for painfully obvious reasons. Put simply, if something is preserved, then it's not lost. Perhaps what you mean is the loss of opportunities to profit.

    Japan and its Kyoto protocol? Japan did not initiate the Kyoto protocol. And your example conveniently leaves out Fukushima.

    Your example concerning some Italian nuclear power plant ironically works against you! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

    Your last point is ridiculous.

    I am just kidding. I am no nihilist. Though I agree that we are in for a roller coaster ride or in your case to a point of no return to man's downfall. From birth to growth to decay and to death and to rebirth. That's the natural cycle. We are in for another Solar Maximum as the guest said that such could be a Civilization buster. But there are higher intelligences directly intervening in world affairs, warning that these will come if we don't learn our lessons. That there are solutions if we look farther than our 3D materialist limitations or lower form of reality. As the ancient sages said, know thyself. Is there more to man than just flesh and bones. We should know who we are truly. The teachers of the ages said or as what the occult philosopy teaches, we are co creators and that we create our own reality. We are multidimensional beings. We should perceive the answers from the higher reality and from higher intelligences. If we focus on the negativity and let the limiting enslaving system run us, we're finished. Negativity begets more negativity. Positivity begets more positivity. That's the Universal karma law of cause and effect. But if we perceived this crises as points that we can shift or transition to a much better much positive society. Well and good. The next system will be gearing towards "Service to Others" Paradigm more and more. Quite opposite to the current, Service to Self parasitic system.

    The current system after some collective actions from TPTB like the repeal of Glass-Steagall, the shift from fixed to floating exchange rate and with the concept of fiat interest bearing money itself which is intrinsically favoring their own predatory self is definitely doomed. Sic transit gloria mundi.

    I also study esoteric literature, and like you see the cosmos in a similar way. But I do not think it is negativity that is causing the current crisis in global capitalism but the opposite. That is, most people see the future in a positive light, and that means the middle class lifestyle that they are vying for will continue because science and technology promoted by corporations and governments will "save" them. This in turn allows them to believe that global warming is a hoax, that ecological disaster can be easily reversed, that resources are actually abundant and are only hoarded by the greedy, and that one should think only "happy thoughts" and good things will come his way.

    Not surprisingly, TPTB agree.
