This Is Why Central Planners Are So Scared of Italy's Beppe Grillo

Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

Incredible Video: Beppe Grillo Dissects the Financial System... on 1998

Whom does the money belong to?  Who does its ownership belong to?  To the State fine…then to us, we are the State. You know that the State doesn’t exist, it is only a legal entity.  WE are the state, then the money is ours…fine.  Then let me know one thing.  If the money belongs to us…Why…do they lend it to us??

- Beppe Grillo in 1998

If you really want to know why Beppe Grillo is causing Central Planners throughout the European continent to wet themselves, this video will show you.  There’s a real revolution happening in Italy.  This guy is the real deal and he understands the heart of the whole issue plaguing the world.  All I can say is:  WOW.

Who said he was going to change everything? 

Just identifying and naming the cabal is heroic in my eyes. Or should we just keep quiet and let the psychopaths continue?

" SO the theory is this guy is going to change everything? and when was the last guy that was good or changed anything for the common man? ... "

 

 

Looks like just so much crazy-talk (in the video) to me  (a Hugo Chavez rave anyone?) ... I mean GREENSPAN was the first one shown - IS HE EVEN ALIVE (let alone occupying some key office somewhere !!!???)

 

CRAZY TALK.

Yep .. said the same last week after posting the video.

There is even a German equivalent satirist , by the name of .... Volker Pispers.

My guess if the Germans could vote , they'd replace Merkel with him immediately.

Pispers advises to vote for Die Linke if changes are desired. I'd say go for die Piratenpartei. We both think that the ol' parties can't make the difference.
I truely think that Germany just follows the same stupid way of the past years, and that they'll end up with a CDU/SPD coalition.
Yeah, they've done it before, it was nothing but bs, but hey, this time it's different, right?

BTW

I always read the comments first to find out what went on in these political TV debates ... sorted by "most recommended".
It seems that the German readers/commenters have their heads screwed on the rght way ... nearly always 95% are fed up with the talking heads ... and in this particular Sunday night TV show, they had some representatives of "the people" actually contributing to the "show" ... and earned praise from the commenters .
e.g. Dirk Müller + Bernd  Lucke

Don't be such a cowboy.  Things are done more 'sophisticated' in Europe.  It will likely be...

Tub drowning, due to accidental OD (antidepressant + Scotch), in a secluded getaway, hotel room.  In Geneva.  Nice and neutral (manageable), and cleaned up, so Switzerland's and the  elite hotel's brand-name remains untarnished.  

Just like in the Uwe Barschel affair of the 1987 (Germany's JFK).  Ask his brother Eike -- one of 2 people Uwe spoke with hours before he died -- if he thought that it was a 'suicide'.   Clues and claims of 'professionals' visiting him, were claimed to be a conspiracy theories by MSM.  "There was no CYA or Moxxad involvement", say German and other authorities.

a lot of people are talking about empty shelves in walmart.

i have an explanation to be verified by more informed sources.

the central planners are setting prices at walmart so as to control the CPI.

but walmart can't source the products at the planned prices due to rapid inflation in China, hence the empty shelves.

or the spending power is declining so rapidly as to cause walmart to re-organise shelf spaces, reduing product selections and shelf inventory.

i prefer the first explanation. i live in shanghai. i know salaries of the slave laborers in china more than doubled in the last 10 years, it got to transmit into mucher higher walmart shelf prices.

I think Wal Mart is being crushed by three or more forces:

1. Higher wages in China.

2. Weaker dollar.

3. Bankrupt and unemployed Americans who cannot afford to buy anything except food.

4. Higher distribution costs.

It is crushing WMT from all angles.

Maybe Wal Mart needs to manufacture ammo because that is all I want from them except some food, bottled water  and toilet paper. 

I have enough clothes, linens, household gadgets and other stuff to last me for years.

Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters.  The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still part of that system, and that makes them our enemy.  You have to understand - most of these people are not ready to be unplugged.  And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."

Schools are dumbing down the peeps because tptb want it that way--

 http://www.alternet.org/visions/chomsky-corporations-and-richest-americans-viscerally-oppose-common-good

 

"One of the great achievements of American democracy has been the introduction of mass public education, from children to advanced research universities. And in some respects that leadership position has been maintained. Unfortunately, not all. Public education is under serious attackone component of the attack on any rational and humane concept of the Common Good, sometimes in ways that are not only shocking, but also spell disaster for the species.
  Sometimes the attacks on education and on the Common Good are very closely linked. One current illustration is the “Environmental Literacy Improvement Act” that is being proposed to legislatures by ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-funded lobby that designs legislation to serve the needs of the corporate sector and extreme wealth. This act mandates “balanced” teaching of climate science in K-12 classrooms.”
  “Balanced teaching” is a code phrase that refers to teaching climate change denial, to “balance” authentic climate science – what you read in science journals. It is analogous to the “balanced teaching” advocated by creationists to enable the teaching of “creation science” in public schools. Legislation based on ALEC models has already been introduced in several states.
  The ALEC legislation is based on a project of the Heartland Institute, a corporate-funded Institute dedicated to rejection of the scientific consensus on the climate. The Institute project calls for a “Global Warming Curriculum for K-12 Classrooms,” which aims to teach that there is “a major controversy over whether or not humans are changing the weather.” Of course, all of this is dressed up in rhetoric about teaching critical thinking, and so on. It is much like the current assault on teaching children about evolution and science quite generally.

 

For those whom Adam Smith called the "Masters of Mankind,” it is important that we must become the stupid nation in the interests of their short-term gain, damn the consequences. These are essential properties of contemporary market fundamentalist doctrines. ALEC and its corporate sponsors understand the importance of ensuring that public education train children to belong to the stupid nation, and not be misled by science and rationality. "

Chomsky is great if you haven't read much else.  I'll give him credit, he is a great rhetorician.  For as muchas chomsky has to say you have to look at what he doesn't say.  Read his books Manufacturing Consent and Neccessary ilusions and then use those two ideas as a filter for the other things he says in public.   Anyone who holds him up as some knd of god I dissmiss as a usefull idiot.

"Authentic climate science" like East Anglia's "hide the decline"?

Real science doesn't give a shit about consensus, it only cares about what is provable with empirical data, not models.

The computer models said AIG was solvent. How did that work out?

On the other hand he has progressed significantly further along than Occupy ever did.

He has cornered a substantial segment of the voting population. He has created a big headache for the entrenched political elite. He has also formulated some pretty basic rules to be followed by those who want to participate in his movement politically, such as a voluntary term limit of two years and a pledge to turn more than half your public salary over to help those in need of help.

You can gauge how much he is rocking the boat by the shit being flung at him by the left, the right and the worms in Brussels.

There seems to be some correlation between how suddenly the banksters make things worse to whether the people respond. You know, the story about boiling a frog slowly, versus too fast. Iceland was a good example of things SUDDENLY getting way worse, so that the people were SHOCKED into more awareness ... All the PIGS in southern Europe have been experiencing some of that during the last decade.

Still, in my view, there is too much of the Sheeple's old morality in Beppe Grillo, and it is not yet clear what may happen when the ruling classes decide to turn Vicious Wolf on him? But nevertheless, there is no doubt he has built up his career to the point where he can significantly rock the boat ... enough so that we now he exists, and are commenting upon him and his party. Since the boat was sinking anyway, that sort of makes sense ...

I have the solution. Print away the debt once and for all. Fund governemnt operations with printing up to an increase of 3% a year. If you need more, tax wealth. Eliminate fractional reserve banking. Have SS and govt pension plans fund the mortage market. Eliminate the import of cheaper goods competing with domestic goods. Eliminate campaign contributions. Enact term limits at all level of politics. Break up any and all companies once they get to a certian size. Require acquisition of skills if you are receiving welfare.

The solutions do exist but the will to change does not.

Notice that the ONLY time JC lost his cool -- and how! -- was when it came to the Money Changers at the Temple. 

The Money Changers charged outrageous 'fees' (margins) to convert Caeser's coins (too 'filthy'!) into 'clean' Temple Coins that were "acceptable to God" -- according to the Changers and priests.  The priests of the Sanhedrin got their cut, be sure of it.

The story of Jesus and Money Changers (of Sumerian origin) is the first record of a populist taking on Central Bankers/Banksters.  We know how that story progressed and ended. 

What people overlook, is that the (secret) knowledge and bag of trick of the Money Changers went underground, but never disappeared.  History books pick up this theme of money changers in the Middle Ages, when many were also gold-smiths and Money Changing had transformed into loan-sharking.  A lucrative but dangerous profession.  Modern banking evolved from this.

Britain had strong laws against usury until the latter part of the 16th century.  Until 1571

 

Usury is outlawed by English Parliament!!

During the reign of King Edward VI (1547-1553) the door was closed and locked against the "Bank" of Rome setting up a branch office in England. Parliament outlawed USURY and make it a criminal offense:

King Edward VI (1547-1553) outlawed usury by Parliamentary decree. You can be sure that his reign was cut short because he opposed the moneylenders.

  "(Act relating to Usury.) Another bill was brought in against usury, which passed both houses, and was made a statute. By it, an act passed in the 37th of the late king (Henry VIII), that none might take above 20 per cent. on money lent, was repealed; which they said was not intended for the allowing of Usury, but for preventing farther inconveniences. And since Usury was by the word of God forbidden, and set out in divers places of Scripture as a most odious and detestable vice, which yet many continue to practise, for the filthy gain they make by it; therefore, from the 1st of May, all usury or gain from money lent was to cease; and whosoever continued to practise to the contrary, was to forfeit both principal and interest, to suffer imprisonment, and to be fined at the king's pleasure." (Cobbett's Parliamentary History of England, vol. I, p.596).

Well there is a tie in between Grillo and Mozart's operas.   A lot of the subject matter in his operas had to do with the Enlightenment or the growth of the middle class in Europe versus nobility. The idea that all men are created equal.

Grillo is saying pretty much the same thing as Mozart did.  Just replace the nobility with politicians/banskters/bankster families. 

They are the same ****ing people - the same people who for centuries have "invested in" wars that have murdered millions of Europeans for "profit."   Nothing ever changes. History repeats. 

The same ****ing peopel bankster families who invested in  the US Civil War that killed 1.1 million. They same people who invested in the Russia-Japan War and all the other wars.  These are facts not fantasy. 

Grillo and Mozart had/have the same ideas about being pro-individual and pro-FREE citizen.  Bravo Grillo!

No point taking out individuals now. The fiat story has been taken to critical mass. This Grillo just seems like a smart guy who happens to be the current focal point for a movement that was going to happen anyway. People have been writing about it and talking about it for decades. The fiat regime is OVER.  The only assassination that might happen is something along the lines of mass assassination, aka WAR. When the masses finally see that the emperor has no clothes, the emperor finances a war that wipes out a bunch and restarts the con with a new generation and new currency. Rinse and repeat. 

But public aversion to the prospect of WW3 seems to dovetail with the objectives of the globalists who sponsor Agenda 21. Problem --> Reaction --> Solution. When the next generation has undergone sufficient wealth destruction, tragedy and misery, it will embrace the stability of grassroots totalitarianism under the auspices of "sustainability" and values defined by Earth Worship.  Enter the elite-contrived "Green" movement. So another poster is probably right: Grillo's party is probably infiltrated and influenced by collectivist greenshirts. That is standard ICLEI method of operation.

Addendum: I posted this speculation prior to viewing the videos linked further up this page by SafelyGraze. Grillo does appear to be Controlled Opposition. His base of support, consisting primarily of disenfranchised youth, is being groomed for massive, ugly social change.

Unfortunately, the Elites can afford to wait Carlin or Beppo out. It has been 15 years since this video transpired. The Banksters have only gotten worse. The NWO has become arrogant and supremely confident and why not? The people still believe the propaganda. 

Even in the face of draconian austerity, Greeks refuse to seek real political and economic change. They still vote for "normalle", just as the Italians do. Berlusconi? Really? 

There is no way to change cattle from being cattle. You have to change the cattle ranchers. You need to provide better grazing areas, which encourage the cattle to move. You need to provide a security that exceeds the illusion perpetrated by the Elites. You need to convince the cow that they have a say in how they are to be fed, which grasses they can choose and whom they will herd with. They must find out they are free and not the property of the rancher, just because he has declared ownership.

The Elites are of the opinion that we are all their slaves. They will never change that opinion. However, there is zero reason we have to believe them nor act the part.

Italy invented the mafia regime. The banksters learnt all their lessons later from history. Who else is better to eradicate organised crime (the present day too big to fail guys) than an Italian politician who has the interests of the people at heart? He would precisely know what to squeeze that would  bring a lump to the throat of the banksters. The bankers are only wondering how did such a person reach such high level in the democracy without their funding.
