Picturing The Biggest Scam In The History of Mankind
Last week Mike Maloney exposed the "biggest scam in the history of mankind" in 7 easy steps in his latest presentation. As Mike explains, most people can feel deep down that something isn't quite right with the world economy, but few know what it is. Gone are the days where a family can survive on just one paycheck...every day it seems that things are more and more out of control, yet only one in a million understand why. Here is the simple infographic to explain the grift...

Morpheus: I imagine that right now, you're feeling a bit like Alice. Tumbling down the rabbit hole? Hmm?
Neo: You could say that.
Morpheus: I see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Neo: No.
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
Morpheus: I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Neo: The Matrix.
Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?
Neo: Yes.
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.
The scam is even more massive than this author pictures. Normal productivity because of innovation and improvement that is the natural effect of ongoing human activity causes an overall improvement at the rate of about 2% a year. If the money supply were static, the average price level should drop by about 2% a year. But in order to keep prices "stable", central banks must create new money at the rate of 2% a year in order to keep the money supply in parallel with the growing economy. This new money is of course used by government to buy things and pay people.
"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves.
"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."
From the last two paragraphs of Gold and Economic Freedom by Alan Greenspan. 1966.

You guys have it all wrong. See, the American people (FSA) actually like the system the way it is. They like the government borrowing their future into oblivion. They like paying income tax. They like wars in the middle east for Israel. They like their country turning into a third world toilet. They like being DEBT SLAVES. They vote their approval of it all every two years like clockwork. How do we know this? Simple. They consistantly re-elect over 90% of the same worms to Congress. They are very happy with the way things are and they are not about to change it, despite what the approval polls suggest.
Dill-snip, nobody "keeps getting elected."
Elections are rigged by the NSA. They are collecting every piece of data you generate, literally hacking every electronic device in your home, but those Diebold voting machines are right as rain. Yeah, riiiight....
ignorance strengthened with denial is the main problem here.
I sent the youtube link to this video to everyone in my email contacts, and I've sent the other 3 parts as well. not once has anyone gotten back to me to say they've (at least) hedged their savings or investments with PMs or even to comment on the TRUTH of Mike's presentations.
don'tcha know they will be the first to come begging and lauding me with my brilliant foresight when the time comes? but by then 98% of it will be buried in the ground.
There is no scam. You'll have to get over the notion that this can be fixed by an application of either criminal penalties, vigilant justice or civil war. Because it cannot be fixed by any application of anything.
The entire thing started 300 years ago with the exploitation of the "free energy" contained in fossil fuels, and the resulting great slave labour of automation machinery. That free slave labour made everyone in the developed world unbelievably wealthy. You might not feel wealthy right now, but if you are reading this comment then you are a member of the most wealthy and privileged group of people who ever lived.
Well the fossil fuel age is drawing to a close. You don't even have to believe me; just look around at how things are falling apart. The "free energy" train has left the station without us, now we're riding the much slower and uncomfortable "costly energy" train. Everything is now dragging ass. No velocity of money. No velocity of discovery. No investment in novelty. No future planning. All that is done with now and forever because we only got to ride the "free energy" bullet train once.
Think what you like. It doesn't come close to mattering what anyone thinks. The dance is over and there won't be another one, and you can hang every banker and money lender in the world and what you will discover when you are done is that they were just the most efficient energy parasites among all of us, and nothing more.
Cougarw,
For a content generator I give you credit, you're an intelligent one. Hell, lying can be an art form too. Why not.
Anyways nice backspin, turning the argument of the fraudulence of paper money into an argument of the hopelessness of the scarcity of oil. Ha !
There is an entire academic discipline that studies how scarce resources get parceled out in society. It's called economics. If you want the truth, the Austrians have got what you need. No apocalypse, no catastrophe, just free people trading for what they need. The end.
Now, oil aside, the paper money racket is indeed illegal, immoral and eminently soluble through application of the law. The US constitution makes it very clear: in America, fiat money is not allowed.
I'm not sure why you think the application of the law is, um, "bad."
You can apply all the law you want to. You can make up new laws everyday, and apply those as well. And create new forms of money, and new banks, and new everything abstract under the sun. But you will eventually find that you cannot create new energy, and you won't have enough or certainly not as much as you were used to at the price. Understand that or not either way matters nothing. But it is another area of law that supersedes all others; the laws of physics. Entropy bats last. I doubt any branch of economics does very well with that one, though as I understand it Karl Marx gave it a shot. As I recollect it had him scared spitless.
Straw Man redux! Well done.
The point is that banning fiat money would help everyone in society. Well, almost everyone.
It's not about "finding new energy sources." It's about enforcing the law: fiat money is illegal. And banning it would be a good thing.

I can't be the only who believes the FED will evntually demand full payment for the Tbills in the form of the Federal lands and resources contained there in? China will demand their cut, maybe S. Dakota and Nevada, and Russia will just take back Alaska.
"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" ~ Jefferson.
Isnt that exactly what has happened?
Maloney left out the step involving the stealing of underpants, and then of course the final step, "profit."
I have to thank Mike via Roebert Kyoskai for convincing me to trade in my $10,000 403B plan for silver in 2006 at $10/oz!!!
Stupidly, I did not buy gold at $350/oz 10 years ago when I first thought about it. But at $600, it was still a deal in 06
All correct so far, but if the Bankers and their friends have all the money, they presumably own everything. But I don't see enough evidence of that.
My reading of it is, they got all the money, but it still wasn't enough. So they all borrowed more and 're-invested' it, chasing even more 'profit'. In modern times they re-invested it in derivatives. Which are not secure (and really don't exist).
When the meltdown comes, they will lose everything too, even if we haven't toppled them.
The key point will be, can we stop them rebuilding the system exactly as it was. The answer is no, unless baseball bats are weilded.
all this is why we need skynet now more than ever to control everything. Shynet dont need no hookers and blow.
