The Implosion Of American Culture
Submittted by JC Collins of The Philosphy of Metrics, via Alt-Market blog,
It was widely expressed by the mainstream media of the time that the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall could not have been predicted. In hindsight, the stagnation and drop in oil prices should have been the obvious signs that a dramatic change was coming. And when the USSR began to borrow from western banks, the fix was in.
Western banks is something of a misnomer, as no bank, or conglomerate of banking interests, can exist separate and independent of the larger international banking structure which has been built throughout the the 20th Century. Stagnate growth and the deflationary oil prices which began in 1986 acted as fine toothed methods of transferring wealth from the social trust within the Soviet Union, forcing banks within the USSR to borrow from western banks, which was in fact an exchange of assets amongst financial institutions.
The inevitable policy shifts towards “perestroika” were obvious and planned well in advance. The agricultural crisis within the country was designed to parallel the mass movement towards “glasnost”, or openness.
When we consider the larger mandates of the CSI, Cultural and Socioeconomic Interception, the same machinations as “perestroika” and ‘glasnost” can be observed in the social fragmentation and devolution of the American middle class. Where the Soviet Union enacted policies which instigated the CSI changes within the country, it will be Americas lack of enacting policy change which will precipitate the implosion of its culture.
See post The First False Flags for a further understanding of what is meant by the term CSI, or Cultural and Socioeconomic Interception.
To understand what this means we must consider the expansion of American culture around the globe since 1944, which was the year the USD became the primary reserve currency used in global trade. As use of the dollar increased, so did the acceptance of western culture. Everything from McDonald’s burgers to Hollywood creations were exported around the world.
America has followed the Soviet Union down the path of re-engineering its ideological culture. Russia has no more moved towards democracy than America has moved towards Communism. Both have shifted towards a new socialist middle ground where centralization has woven the macro economic system tighter around a supra-sovereign statehood.
The Cold War was the dialectic conditioning of the whole world.
Over the last few years we have begun to see once stable American institutions and companies begin to struggle. McDonalds growth has begun to slow and Sears, along with other big box stores, have been closing. Even legendary director Steven Spielberg has suggested that Hollywood will “implode” soon.
As use of the dollar levels off and begins to recede into the blend of multilateral currencies, the culture that grew up around it will also recede and implode back into the place from where it originated.
This implosion of culture can be seen in the recent racial and political divide which has been given focus in the riots and protests across the country. The media is doing its part to push the CSI engineering into the homes and minds of the disorganized masses. Many speculate that the riots have failed to spread as desired, but I reckon that they were extremely successful in that they leveled up the tension and pre-prejudice for a continuation of the slow motion implosion and transition to the international mindset collective.
The Black Friday madness is blown larger for maximum effect and the greed of America is the subconscious message which is being implanted in minds around the world. This message is trended throughout mainstream media, alternative media, and social media.
The other side of this CSI engineering is instability. Both greed and instability have now begun to feed from the tail of the other as American culture descends into the unknown bounds of ignorance. Political leaders and the political process has become so degraded that even Americans themselves are now looking towards figures like Russia’s Putin for inspiration. This is no doubt by design as it slowly dawns on the American people that they have become the “isolated” contagion from which the rest of the world is attempting to vaccinate itself against.
Yet, nowhere are the masses being informed and educated about the reality of economics and politics, let alone about the decay of culture and self. The media is proactively avoiding any meaningful truth and facts about the state of existence for the majority of the population. What is obvious subconsciously is ignored consciously in everyday thoughts and actions.
From this engineered ignorance the surprise of a “fall of the Berlin Wall moment” will emerge and crawl across the face of the western man.
The spread of greed is apparent and now the deeper injection of instability will continue to build on the economic CSI which began in 2008. Central banks around the world and the Bank for International Settlements have already begun to implant the meme that they can no longer provide liquidity in the next crisis. See the post The Enlargement of the Dialectic Collapse.
Across the globe the message is being promoted that America is holding up the much needed reform of the international monetary system, reforms which will “prevent and strengthen the global economy against future liquidity and credit shocks as well as exchange rate instability”.
In November of 2010 the G20 countries along with the International Monetary Fund agreed to reforming the international system. These reforms have been held up in the US Congress since and the message is being sent that the rest of the world is becoming impatient and tired of the American games.
It is beginning to look likely that the the IMF Reforms were never meant to be passed and enacted as written back in 2010. As such, the IMF along with the BRICS countries and other G20 members, have devised methods of bypassing America and implementing and even broader reform of the institution. This Plan B implementation will build on the meme of “American greed and instability” in order to create acceptance of a reformed system which has stripped the US of its veto power on the IMF Executive Board, as well double the actual quota commitment from member countries.
Reader Matt McBride has provided a link which explains in great detail the Plan B components and how they will likely be implemented in the coming months. I would strongly encourage all readers to study the material and fully understand it as the world stands on the threshold of change.
Time for the United States to Risk Its IMF Veto
We are also likely to see some drama in Congress as both political parties attempt to agree on a fiscal budget for 2015. The government shutdown which happened last year has planted the CSI seed for what comes next. It is being proposed that the Democrats will include the 2010 IMF Reforms in the 2015 Fiscal Bill. But will the Republicans approve or continue to delay and push the world into the throes of financial collapse?
With the recent drop in oil prices and the inevitable fragmentation of OPEC, the instability theme is being built on so when the time comes the acceptance of oil and other commodities being denominated in SDR’s will not be challenged. See post The End of OPEC for further reading on the transition of energy markets and the trend of banks exiting the commodities markets.
Now that Saudi Arabian interests have been secured through Chinese bonds, the fragmentation of old “dollar based” structures such as OPEC can begin. Everywhere a dollar based institution has been established will see change as the system transitions and the multilateral emerges.
By July, 2015, the renminbi will be added to the SDR basket composition and from that moment SDR bonds will begin to re-liquify the international financial system. See post Renminbi ??? and the Alternative IMF Reforms.
The current deflation of commodities will be temporary and the new SDR commodities exchange will “correct” the imbalances in the system caused by American greed and the USD instability.
As the QE policies of central banks handled the exchange of low liquidity bonds from charter banks back to the balance sheets of the central banks themselves, the SDR bond system will orchestrate a sort of QE in reverse as the central banks exchange the low liquidity assets on their balance sheets for SDR assets, which will be considered high liquidity assets.
As well as the posts Something SDR This Way Comes – Deflation and Liquidity for the MFS. and The Old Economics of Devonian Water – How Current Debt Transforms Into SDR Liquidity.
The complete machinations of this multilateral transition is obscured to the disorganized masses through complete misdirection and propaganda of American privilege and greatness. Such will be the surprise when the implosion of American culture reaches a tipping point where the multilateral financial system is fully enacted on the ruins of western CSI engineered ignorance.
They will say no one saw it coming. But there are those of us across the internet, on blogs just like this one, who have seen it coming and have been talking about it for a long time. The exact details of every point of transition and interception is not easily discerned, but the overall macro trend is clear and there are a few moments of sudden adjustments coming. The sad reality is that the disorganized masses will remain ignorant to the whole process as they become consumed with television news drama that hides the structural truth behind the engineered cultural implosion of the American identity.

And, since greed is the driving force, theres only one
bubble left after big oil,
and that's Big War.
Incidentally, what better way can the MSM be able to ressurect itself?
a more primal explanation of the situation:

American culture = Oxymoron...
1.99 cent Crap...er, Happy Meals! YEAH!!!
Happy Days!!! WOOHOO!!!
The concept of greed is so easily misunderstood. The problem is high time preference.
This is ZH, how dare you speak ill of Putin's Russia?
Walking into the hornet's nest?
or the ZH types who support leftist/socialist ideas like legalized drugs, abortion on demand, gay rights, the list goes on and on and then SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS bitch that the country has taken a leftist/socialist turn
Good thing the Republicans took congress and have managed to pass legislation to insure 300 trillion dollars worth of derivatives held by bankers. We'll be back on course in no time. USA! USA!
They are just champagne socialists too.
amerikan, french, soviet...who gives a fuck about a national culture, which shackles free thought and expression. i follow the culture of nature, that life inducing life promoting orgone all around us. it has no race, no ethnic, no mores, no boundaries, and above all, no rules. just love and enlightenment and spirit.
Nature is cruel. Love is a human trait.
The problem with the above article is the (lack of) understanding of ideologies. It's called fascism (not socialism).
I fucking hate Putin as much as Obama as much as every other turd with nuclear shit. Pussies.
jbvtme: You win the "BIGGEST FUCKING IDIOT OF THE DAY AWARD" for your retarded post
Besides being a complete MOE-ron, you've never set foot in Nature or you would know she's a real bitch at times
And Nature's rules are harsh and indifferent even to know nothing idiots like you.
nuke the whales!
Why all the downvotes to gold-is-not-dead?
I love when Putin pokes Obie in the eye but he's still an Oligarch and authoritarian...
Gotta nuke something
nature is benevolent, headbanger (perfect handle, btw). she will even toss a few pearls to swine like yourself. if you stop grunting for a moment and look around.
It's fairly obvious, for anyone who can see past the end of their nose, that religious beliefs have been used to segregate the masses. Said segregation creates false divisions.
Now, I could include the Jews and the Christians and the Buddhists and the Methodists and Baptists- and know with relative certainty that they're all full of shit.
You either have a personal relationship with your maker, or you don't.
Religion ain't got nothing to do with it.
Dang, dude! Up 'til now I would've advised you against banging your head on inanimate objects. Just now, I advocate that you imitate your avatar.
The reason you think nature is a bitch is because you never really knew her, fucktard!
If people believe that time heals all wounds, don't they know that time also deals them.
Time doesn't heal wounds, it is time that allows humans to heal from wounds.
On a personal note, my dear wife had a bunion removed last thursday. Today, we went for the follow-up visit.
She's kinda fucked up. We went back for a check-up today, and all seems good... but I'm tellin' ya' that it looks real different from this side.
I'm payin' the income taxes that barely cover the interest on the national debt. My wife's recent procedure was ultimately funded by the national debt, via the fedgov, and the state of georgia, but all of these idiots borrowed every dollar they ever spent.
Hunh. If this procedure proves succesful, she needs to get the other foot done before this doctor retires.
Did I tell ya' that my wife is an employee of .gov?
That might clear things up.
more evidence that humans are cruel. love is a trait of nature, the vast majority if its killings are just for a meal.
Not that a lot of the current Republicans aren't to blame for the passage, but the newly elected Congress has NOT been sworn in yet. The Dems were still in charge of the Senate when this was passed. And by the way, the sponsor of the bill was Jim Hines.
Unsurprisingly, the main backer of the bill is notorious Wall Street lackey Jim Himes (D-Conn.), a former Goldman Sachs employee who has discovered lobbyist payoffs can be just as lucrative as a career in financial services.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-12/presenting-303-trillion-derivat...
More on the former Squid:
"Representative Jim Himes first caught our attention when he helped push through a bill written by CitiGroup lobbyists. As it just so happens, CitiGroup is also Rep. Himes’ #1 financial backer"
"Himes co-sponsored and helped push a bill called H.R. 992 through the House. 992 would further deregulate derivatives, a financial instrument that played a major role in the 2008 crisis (source)."

Just because they call themselves "Republicans" doesn't mean that you have to believe that they're really Republicans.
You are on the wrong side of nature here and are following blindly.
This place is crazy, somebody made so many happy meal toys that todays kids don't even like them, they started to distribute them in Russia and were handed a 100,000 ruble fine. We are totally different people although our media always finds ways to reverse the truth.
Bollywood awaits....
Bollywood is imposed culture, hardly Indian. FWIW, the first famous "actresses" in bollywood of the early 20th century were all jewesses.
Hmmmmmm.....is that a tell of some sort?
We are all victims of the same cultural virus of denigration and degeneration spawned by people with jewish last names.
Family Guy? Really, I thought the bottom had been scraped with South Park...
So, yes...there you go...
South Park and Beavis & Butthead are high culture compared to reality tv and tmz.
12 years sans TeeVee have been good for me....
I've watched 5 or 6 movies in theaters in the past 14 years.
One can choose one's vibratory level of existance. In a world created of and by vibration, your vibration is your reality.
Been very cleansing....even those who say they watch just because they want to see what the "other side" is up to are up against the most powerful weapon of mind control devised.
If you have a TeeVee, you ARE living in 1984, just suck up and deal with that fact...
Movie theaters are just a bigger, louder extension of the same. I have to cover my ears in one now, the audio assault is so bad and cuts so schizoid...
Choices...
You are the way forward...I suspect 7 billion other sheep don't agree though.
+100
TV is shit and so is Zollywood and Bollywood. Brainwashing for the sheep masses.
No TV for 6 years - and barely watched it before that.
I do watch a few series which i download e.g. mad men, breaking bad, game of thrones.
The poison on tv is the 'news'. reality tv is just rubbish and a total waste of time
Those guys (B&B) were modern day prophets compared to what we have been grandfathered into today.
Between Beavis & Butthead and Idiocracy, Mike Judge is indeed a prophet.
The recent season of Beavis & Butthead where they review reality tv shows is great stuff.

Buggs Bunny is Jewish and he's pretty darned cool.
The merikan culture is mostly jelly after 3 generations, but God is not Dead in the US, Brother. He is stronger than ever.
God is dead. Unfortunately he was the vehicle for morality and society seems to have thrown out the baby with the baptismal water. There was a woman who suggested that each individual should use reason to determine their own values but apparently sheep of most theistic and atheistic stripes want a shepherd in some shape or form.
If the woman you speak of ever had reason in mind, we who study history would know it and she would have left an example to follow. I't's a figment of the imagination. Man however, has forever been searching for a good leader. You want a King to make things right and fair, then you get a King. Few have the wisdom to live without a wordly leader.
There are many individuals who live moral lives based on rational thinking. Can you name any individual who has manged to act morally by following a path based entirely on irrationality? Even God's morality has a foundation in rational thought. Otherwise it could not function even sporadically no matter what spells the practitioners might utter or what rituals in which they might engage.
I've been around the same block too many times to care. If you think it works for you and you don't hurt anyone, then just do it, and do it hard. I'm no saint bro, I'm here for the war.
There you go being reasonable again. Works for me.
Lesson #1 Appeasement never works.
Unless you expand upon your intended meaning I'll have to chalk that up as non sequitur. And I thought we were doing so well.

Talk about a non sequitur.
When somebody mugs an old lady in the street we don't smugly say to them, "Well, that was'nt very 'atheist' of you." It doesn't make sense to say that because everybody understands it is not atypical of what we'd expect. So I choose door number two.
Australia today, Europe tomorrow, then the US all before we usher in 2015!!!
They'll have us so fucking scared, we'll line up to have the next opportunity to burn the Constitution!!
Save me big daddy government, save me!!!
The funny yet maddening thing about it is, in Australia if two of the 40 in the shop are carrying heat, those jihadists motherfuckers are dead right now, event over!
carrying heat? In Australia? Clearly you do not know exactly how far the dis-arming of the public has gone in Australia.
I think maybe that was his point.
Agreed! About time it implodes. Nothing useful to offer the brave new world.
Here’s another oxymoron for you….Indian Civilization.
Oh wait, India gave us the “zero”….but I repeat myself.
“Caste” not aspersions on others, ORI, lots of cleaning up to do in your own sewers.
Mister X is a troll tool (muy) newby here only to promote an album...thas all folks.
He posts a ridiculous comment and links to his band.
It is tragic but mostly annoying. He'll be gone in a week but still annoying.
The mother of all bubbles is the population bubble. When graphed, it is in parabolic growth mode. A natural catastrophe, an incurable pandemic, a nuclear war, a new totalitarianism with forced euthanasia (murder) or even a prolonged power outage (result of which is mass starvation)... any of these could result in world population being cut in half or more. Relative to how the current world situation could be, things are fairly stable. All this could abruptly change. Precariousness seems to be increasing all the time.
the title is a lie, the whole thread is based on lies..truth is evil- in America as it is in all of the EU perhaps across the globe (mcd's spread of fake food joints internationally, could be an allegory for the spread of corrupt criminal gangs called governments.) if you hold as I do that there has been a concentration of power and wealth across the globe to a select few, then lies and corruption have become the norm.
international banks are the most visible of this structure, fiat money is our biggest lie. banks break laws (libor fixing) as a matter of policy..controlling legal authorities ignore bank crimes .. the corruption is so large that in the usa and eu it is out in the open (omnibus bill passage recently) (monitization of debt in eu)..
scratch the surface of public and cultural institutions and rot and crime boils out (sony pictures data, snowden data)..watch for truth, it like gold is very rare.
there is no american culture there is only lies.
F Z-TV and Zollywood. You watch it then you support it all including the govt which is a group of unelected criminals working for bigger criminals. Sick f**king country.

No one is buying. Continue the Symphony of Destruction.
After scanning the article - the author makes the mistake of pretending that we have two political parties.
The GOP caving to Obama and amnesty the other night shows they are the same party. Any idea that the GOP will dismantle ObamaCare is laughable. The GOP are liars and cheats like the Democrats.

Glad to see JC Collins get a wider audience. He's been doing extraordinary work all year.
So, except for JC Collins, no one sees anything coming....
Yup, another candidate for the Peak Prosperity writer pool
I quit reading at " perestroika" .
Psycho babble
I mean? If don't have an <connection> , what's the point of the question?
As strange as this world is even the most stretched analysis can seem plausible anymore. I mean, me? I just go on about MY business. Will strike once the iron is hot.
Long " Home Depot" ?
Miley Cyrus licks a hammer and it's called "art" and "music." I do it and I'm told I am drunk and to leave home depot.
You need to bring music and strip first.
back that up, you have to have an already made daddy who's rich, so the vultures aready have that crown of thorns on your head by the time you're 18 to start acting like a real slut
Comment of the day.
The connection is the global sovereign state that may and or will occur once the ignorant, 'culture less' American masses piss there pants into 'UN' submission of their own constitutional liberties after millions die due to direct and 'permitted' nuclear attacks on American soil during WWWIII which will occur in 2 to 7 years, probably sooneed rather then later within said range. Russia will be forced to retaliate against the West. They will have short term backing of China and if/when Russia is weakened after their forced attacks on the West, China will turn on Russia, defeat them, and have the quasi reigns of the globalist regime ~ IMHO. Best to all.
Okay Banz, but Collins has been one of the very few who has given clarity to the transition away from the USD as everyone else has been captivated by the hysterical East v West nonsense.
OOH HE who questions Banzi? Please enlighten us.
Questioning Banz is a good thing ;-)
Transition away from the USD, the false East West struggle for world domination and the use of culture as an ideological weapon are not alien concepts on ZH and many other blogs the readers here are familiar with.
I just think this guy has a pretentious and rambling writing style.
And, I am not one shys from thick philosophical reading.
Billy, I'm lovin alternatives.
Ah yes: "Cultural and Socioeconomic Interception." That is a horrible phrase, lol. His other stuff isn't that pretentious.
IF: "Cultural and Socioeconomic Interception." means shorting "USD" then yes!
Apparently it is a term intended to encapsulate Orwellian "Newspeak" and the institutionalized dumb down or televisionization of the popular mind, CSI for short. We no longer have to watch TV, because we are TV.
George Carlin hated euphemisms and PC because they are essentially cultural manipulations. And he hated TV.
However, the CSI concept coined by the author goes beyond sloganeering and wordsmithing. It points to a subversive form of "globalist cabal" propaganda that engages in thought shaping by permeating and sterilizing popular culture such as art, music and film. Consumer lifestyle branding and local Disnification (eg Times Square) are other examples.
And have you examined the snail mailings that we are constantly bombarded with by CITI and BofA: Do this and do that and win valuable credits for a redeemable new idyliic consumer lifestyle. Adventures of modern finance capitalism in your home.
Now to be good debt serfs everyone...get the same haircut, buy the same baggy flannel shirts and jeans, watch the same movies, drive the same shitty plastic bailout brand vehicles, eat the same shitty junk food, rap the same music, share on Facebook...borrow, borrow, wash, rinse, repeat.
However, don't read the same books.
Do not read books period!
Do not think...eat your Obama-meds after every happy meal...
And that is: The Implosion of American Culture
Collins meant the term as a substitute for the overused "false flag," which definitely needs refining but boy CSI is so bloody stilted. I think if you check out Collins' more straightforward narratives on central banks in the 20th century you will be pleasantly surprised. Yeah he can be obtuse, but also fiercely clear-minded.
well written, WB7. The problem of this article is that it talks about American Culture, which gives, as any culture, a different picture for insiders then outsiders
the beef of the article is the IMF and the "monetary architecture of the world". And there we see in the article itself a glimpse of an American cultural and political vocabulary that needs traduction
see here, for example
"Across the globe the message is being promoted that America is holding up the much needed reform of the international monetary system, reforms which will “prevent and strengthen the global economy against future liquidity and credit shocks as well as exchange rate instability”
What? "the message is being promoted..."? it sounds like "it's all right, but someone is spreading rumours". Well, it isn't, but this perception is missing in the US. See then:
"In November of 2010 the G20 countries along with the International Monetary Fund agreed to reforming the international system. These reforms have been held up in the US Congress since and the message is being sent that the rest of the world is becoming impatient and tired of the American games."
It's simple, out of the 20 biggest GDP countries, 19 of them want IMF and other monetary reforms. What is the US Congress doing? Talking about "them globalists, no, no, no"
then the article goes back to spin mode:
"It is beginning to look likely that the the IMF Reforms were never meant to be passed and enacted as written back in 2010. As such, the IMF along with the BRICS countries and other G20 members, have devised methods of bypassing America and implementing and even broader reform of the institution."
kind of "those pesky globalist foreigners want to bypass America". A rally call. Then the future accusations:
"This Plan B implementation will build on the meme of “American greed and instability” in order to create acceptance of a reformed system which has stripped the US of its veto power on the IMF Executive Board, as well double the actual quota commitment from member countries.". Which the author promises "...they will likely be implemented in the coming months..."
So what do we have here? A fact. The 19 most important partners of the US want IMF reform. A slur, "them globalists", which is there so that the patriotic reader knows "it's all ok"
Then the article itself, which has a title of "The implosion of American Culture", but after a few non-relevant things about it promises that foreign attacks will be made, based on a Plan B that "will build on the meme of "American greed and instability""
So you see, the dear reader does not really have to worry about American Culture, according to the article. The fear the reader has because perhaps he has realized that American Culture is going adrift can be wonderfully redirected in patriotic "smart investing" against a "globalist Plan B", fighting dollar for dollar against those foreign devils who accuse "American greeed and instability", and by doing that can transform his fear into greed
Somebody had to financialize the economy, thought it was a good idea and convince others, prolly an A student at the time, but a failure today, and there is no abc rating or better yet abf rating for these peoples and their country.
Execpt you will lose your shorts as you become ever more worthless as each day passes. A slave, a machine is your destiny sucker.
"Marriage With Children" might have been the harbinger, or was it "The Simpsons", or was it the establishment of the "Federal" (Banker) Reserve?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I think Family Guy with an over sexualized baby was when the shark was jumped...
and everyone laughed....
question is, how can a few cartoons be pivotal about a culture. I tend to think they reflect culture, don't build it
during the 30's and 40's, for example, cartoons reflected a certain widespread attitude about courage, manliness, etc.
They aren't pivotal about a culture anymore Ghordy, they PIVOT THE CULTURE.
It's called programming for good reason.
Social engineering and television...a match made in some sith lord's laboratory!
this would mean that Captain America "pivoted the culture" as much, in earlier times, together with Superman, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, etc?

but yeah, now we can point to the young females working for the mainstream "music industry". which was mostly young males in decades past. Bowie? Lou Reed? Andy Warhol, both his movies and art? transvestites, heroin chic, Walk on the Wild Side, John Waters, Divine, Tony Curtis, Some Like it Hot, cross-dressing, men playing women, ooh lala!

same hands guiding the stories, for profits, for controls. it's not just "the girls" who subvert, it has come from all sides, since before we were even born.
gendering humans is the easiest, and most profit-able gig going. . . start with a "Heavenly Father" figure, with Eve as the downfall of "man" - or a warrior class Sun Tzu, or Con-fucious, or any of the pantheon karmic altar'd, all imagined in human minds, enforced by human weaponry, enticed by human promises of eternal everythings. . .
it is what it is - but if you choose a "side" you miss the whole.
Cant take the guns outright? Engineered cultural implosion. Im with the author here. Its genius but evil.
Sorry, I slided my cursor to the other monitior.
This sounds like a transcription of a commetary from RHC-- Radio Havana Cuba.
MOAR likely an "Expendables 5", script.
Okay, here's American culture.
I never understood the "race thing" I think "black women" know how to ?
I've made love to a few Asian women that made my "toes" tingle.
If you find you're significant other, HOLD on to it.
aS A mAN. Women are very special, and should be questioned "at times".
Girlz like to be questioned/ challanged
Lets move on to this USD/JPY situation.
The usd is NOT going to strengthen. Rate hikes are priced in/ Central bank hikes are priced in/
You Bitches should be on the 3X Bloomturd blogs.
YOU WERE WARNED
No, really. I listen to RHC almost every night except when the atmospherics are wrong and this is just the sort of rambling, MEGO rant filled with big words and meaningless observations detached from reality that anyone with a lot of patience can experience.
It's sort of a 1984 thing, since they sound just like a regular radio station but the news is always good for the happy, prosperous Cuban people, except for the Cuban Five.
I challenge you to end the challenge.
America is now truly an Obamanation...
As Yves Smith says 'Whocouldaknown?!?'
Jesus, lets get on with the restructuring and the last of the big shit sandiwch so we can move on.
We stand much closer to a global collapse than to any engineered takeover by OWG. In fact a war is much more worrisome in the medium term, because the us klowngress has no leadership element anymore. Obama is totally marginalized, so perhaps Biden can surprise us all...
You'll notice how many politicians say "nucular war" instead of "nuclear war". I don't think most of them know jack about nuclear anything, which makes them more dangerous than most would imagine.
Global collapse is a fart in the wind compared to world government or nuclear war.
"And when the USSR began to borrow from western banks, the fix was in."
It seems we have a Bingo!
Forget all of the distracting socialist, capitalist, communist, whateverist bullshit that ideologues and analists (sic) throw at you. Regardless of what type of system you try to run, it's fucked once the bankers get involved.
Government is fucked with or without the bankers.
Think of its business model: it steals from its "customers" at gunpoint and produces virtually nothing of value.
I cant go into detail here but the banking hooks into the newly formed USSR were there from the beginning. There's a lot of info. The Russian Emoire's refusal to join the City of London's banking system made it a target from the time of the Congress of Vienna.
It went on during the USSR and it goes on today. Putin is the target and they'll do ANYTHING to destroy him. Think of it this way: he's the first leader (including Kennedy) that has actually moved against THEM in many centuries.
The theme that this author discusses has legs; the quota review for the IMF will happen in May 2015. Part of that is the updating of the SDR basket of currencies, which is likely to include the RMB.
This is all the trend toward deseating the USD from reserve status. EKM1 says this won't happen due to the high-level battle ensuing, so we will see how this plays out.
The following links are worth a read, the first from the IMF directly.

we are white,, we stole this country from the peace loving natives,,, can't say redskins as some peanuts would be offended, oh and while we are on peanuts, we can no longer eat peanuts on an airliner cause someone may be allergic, oh and if you smoke,,, we hate you,, oh and ass fucking men or tongue and grooving two mommies is just another life style, oh and men are all ignorant,,, sssified wimpy non decision making pussies,,,, who now it sseems need to shave every part of their bodies so the women folk will snuggle up to them and oh,, did ya hear,,,, the next war we go to we will be wearing purple tennis shoes and singing the enemy Barney songs,,, cause we don't want to harm anyone in the making of this war,,,, fuck,,,,, What have we become?
I am 59. I am white. I have been working summers since the age of 12. I picked fruit in the fields growing up. We had 7 kids in our family. We were taught two things growing up. Work hard. Tell the truth. Period. Dad was a machinist. Mom washed dishes in a nursing home. I worked 30 hour weeks after classes in high school. Grocery store bagger. Restaurant cook. Factory work in college summers. Waited tables. Cut meat. Wholesale meat plant. Retail level. Slaughter house kill floor one summer job. Business owner . Executive Chef. Restaurant management. Sales rep. Sales trainer. Sales management. 22 years w last company. 2009 killed our company. Out on street looking for work. 55 year old white guy. I cooked part time in a nursing home while looking for work. See ,,, all work is honorable. Period.
It is what I know. It is what this country was made of. It is what this country no longer has. A fucking spine. A will to work. A willingness to do whatever it takes. I will wash dishes. Scrub pots and pans. I can manage a country club or hotel kitchen. I can do the books. I can make your sales force more successful. But see, I am "too experienced" or "overqualified" so I made ten bucks an hour for 8 months. YOu know how I can do that? planning. No debt. A great wife. A great life. Am I bitter ? fuck no. I met some older,, wiser people who have been on this earth longer than I have and I enjoyed cooking them great meals.
America needs to grow a set of balls. Big fucking hairy balls. We used to build things. We used to solve problems. We used to value education. I mean hard subjects. Science, math, medicine, engineering. Not fucking insurance,, real estate, finance gay lesbian transgendered studies. Fuck. Come on. Do you want to turn out the lights or call a spade a spade. 50 million people on food stamps in the wealthiest land on earth? REally? How the fuck is that possible? See, food stamps use to be several different colors and you had to tear them out of a book much like a coupon book. There was a stigma to being on the "dole" Not now. Hell,, give them plastic charge cards. Let them swipe them just like a charge card. Next time you see somoene using them to buy steaks ask yourself over for fucking dinner since you paid for them.
See, we now want to run our equipement with some fucking majic keebler elf in a hollow tree charging the battery in your little electric car. Know why we have coal in the earth? To burn it. To power mankind and his endeavors. Know why we have oil? To burn it. To make our lives better. Period. Know why I shoot deer in season? Because I can. Because if I am fortunate I can feed my family good healthy meat. Period. DOn't like it? Get over it.
We are on a teeter totter edge of losing this country for good. I have children. I have five grandchildren. I no longer recognize my country. It makes me weary if I choose to dwell on it. One day soon,,, we may need to make a stand. Chooose your battles wisely but when it comes time, make a decision worthy of calling your self a man. Our country is slipping through our fingers. I never want to look back more than I look forward.
I buried a dear friend yesterday. He was a hunting and shooting buddy of mine. He left us way too young from brain cancer. He was 54. He too wondered where America was heading. Forgive my rant. Death has a way of giving a clarity to our thinking. We can be what we once were. Maybe American always was a mirage. I choose not to think so. Good day all..
Nothing to add. You said it all. Big thumbs up !
What is needed is for the government loving fish swimming in the government ocean to either evolve or die off.
Unfortunately, neither of those is going to happen.
Individualism and personal responsiblity has been replaced by "it takes a village".
Compliments of your public schools, and their liberal, socialist pederasts.
As long as we express our values in dollars we will always be poor and our hard work will always be stolen by banksters who tell us what to value and how. Their values are not mine or yours, they are theirs alone, serving their interest not ours, our family or community. When working, think whom your work benefit most because these days it aint you. That's the reason people looking at job ethos differently then before when they believed that most of fruits of their sweat went to them. Rejecting culture of money would be the first step.
Sorry about your friend God bless
it's not a rant, mate.
wish i had said the things you have said.
no balls, no spine, no morals, no compass, gimme, gimme.
"Sir Alex Fraser Tyler(1742-1813) Scottish jurist and historian
The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to selfishness;
6. from selfishness to complacency;
7. from complaceny to apathy;
8. from apathy to dependence;
9. from dependency back again into bondage."
Thanks, an interesting piece.
People concerned about this slide into oblivion need to understand what has caused it, for without knowing that they risk repeating the same grave mistakes which caused the crises.
In my view, there is one word which totally encapsulates everything that has gone wrong in Western societies in the last N years and certainly within my lifetime.
Let there be no mistake, that word is: GOVERNMENT.
Its relentless and obscene growth in scope and power - and its increasing trend towards conducting itself above the Rule of Law (and in the US above the Constitution) - can be correlated to the decline of civic, responsible society and economic health. Government has sucked the lifeblood out of society and cost the people dearly.
Until the masses wake up and realise this and choose to dispense with large parts of it and to create and run their own lives, the slide will continue and end in disintegration and whatever follows.
Rugged individualism has transformed into a pathetic state of dependent servitude.
So, since we are reading this complaint from this guy, I guess that we can infer that we -at least- are not part of the "disorganized masses" who haven't a clue of what has happened to them. This guy gave us more than 500 words of gripes with not one word on what could or should be done about it. If he has no idea what to do about it, then what value can there be to his "analysis"?
It was back in the mid 1960s. I had not earned my "butter bar" as a second lieutenant yet. But I was "smart enough" to tell a full colonel -a veteran of WW II, Korea, and Vietnam- what I thought was "wrong" about the war. He sternly but without emotion told me that, "When you become an officer, remember one thing: never bring what you perceive to be a problem to the attention of your peers or to your superiors, unless you are ready to put forward a solution."
I took that advice to heart.
I wish that all these cranks, who fill our pages, exposing us to their views upon whatever seems to be going from bad to worse, would include somewhere a recommendation about what should be done.
I've also been given the same advice, albeit in private industry.
Anyhow, assuming this author's argument is valid, then I don't think there's anything to be done. If the US loses reserve status and its influence on the IMF, I think the balance of power will shift so that developing economies and not so exploited by the developed world. Such exploitation doesn't really serve the average citizens of developed countries in my opinion. Cost of labor increases in poor countries, meanwhile employment should increased in rich ones. The wealthy will lose money as their slave workers gain rights globally. The workers in industries not yet exposed to globalization will see their relative wealth decline as everything becomes more expensive, but the mass of unemployed or underempoyed people will see more fulfilling work return to their countries given the decrease in cheap exploitable labor worldwide.
It reminds me of the South during the American Civil War. There's nothing to fight for. And if you're in a fighting mood, it might be because you read the writings of slave owner sympathizers. I.e., "American interest" and "national security" (these days) really don't benefit Americans as a whole. The only real advice should be to stay informed, be productive, tend your garden, and be happy.
But he did, it's just not explicit.
Mind your business. Work hard. Be debt free. Take care of your own shit and care for your family the best you can.
I could also add love God and your brothers - wherever they may be found - and take care of each other. Find more brothers and teach them, too.
Have hope and take heart.
That doesn't mean the World won't roll over you. It's just the best you can do.
Actually, this is all written down in a Book somewhere.
I love giving Yanks shit.
SDR is a Rickardian wet dream. The world needs a better store of value not the 128th medium of exchange (and I'm leaving the cryptos out for now).
fofoa seems to love central banks..........I dont see that going anywhere anytime soon........
fofoa seems to be a european central banker??? yes/no
If one were to study hyperinflation of the past, they will find that inflation destroys the society it takes root in.
Such inflationary societies become more short-term focused, and preoccupied with money, consumption, and pleasure, and not production and living.
The DC US has had inflation since the banksters bought the DC US government in 1913. No wonder then that the American society, and American culture, have just about been destroyed.
An American, not US subject.
"When the heads of the banksters compete for space in a basket, then, and only then, can America begin to heal."
Want to have some fun?
Try explaining purchasing power, inflation, or fractional reserve banking concepts with anybody in the meat world.
Watch as they struggle to process the fact that SOME people have a license to print money, while most must produce something of value to get it.
They categorically reject facts because accepting those facts would be accepting that we're all fucked.
By design.
Self-government and America must be destroyed before the NWO can take control because there must be no other alternative for people to turn.
This whole shit show is a farking joke and just plain ol stupid beyond stupidity. The Russian, American, and European folks are all going broke as the rothchillian masters laugh and suck the life from ALL COUNTRIES. All the while, pitting them against each other to do that. Just try and think about what controls so many puppet-evil-things, and the militaries as they do. The babylonian empire of dust has set up Russia to be the next winner in what ever world might be left after say, 200-500 nukes are tossed around the planet. Remember, the PLAN is to get rid of 99% of the human population using these pawns on the checker board to do it for them, the evil rothschillian devils.
Some, like the asshats here who have their numbers known, and will be among the first to be dispatched, may never be saved from themselves. Owners, please claim your titles and noble awards for all the ridicules and unintelligent stupidity in the comments here. War mongers and evil minions of the warmongers all suck the blue out of jeans for a living. It is obvious who is patriotic, and who is a real American. It is also blatant, as to who is not.
Selah. No time to waste on ego's games.
In the meanwhile, the advance towards some sort of Armageddon marches on and the rockofeller/rottenchild crime syndicate/empire is as busy as Santa's Elves are. Up to no good, compared to those little rascals making toys for tots. What evil lurks in the shadows is known. Will it be a nuklear detonation in the eastern or western part of the USA? Grid and Internet take down? Will cheney use one, or two of his stolen nukes? Is he still the unelected president of the COG? One can only wonder if these old smelly-arse dinosaurs of the cold war era are going to die soon, or will they kill off the planet before they do that?
One of the possible event horizons seen on the list includes the EMP usage by the zionist/isis/al-CIA-duh evil bankster stooges to cause a power grid take-down that will be blamed on Russia, or who knows what other victim country might be blamed. Same old shit show. The hubris of getting away with shooting down the jet in Ukraine has emboldened these horrid war-criminals to try this next bankster sponsored false flag event to steer away from the purposely planned to crash economy, world-wide.
Who profits from war and destruction? What idiot on the planet would support moar woar KINOWING they and their families will also be flash banged by a quick blinding light in close proximity? And how about those neutron bomb thingy's? And, if you wanted to get rid of the entire American population, how would you do that?
Hummm....things no one wants to ponder, except for the bad actors here.
The very idea of blaming a hack attack on the solar flare storms is really out there, but not outside of the realm of evil possibilities. The Carrington Event was one such occurrence and what if, what if they were to exasperate that with “other methods” to antagonize the great ball of light so much so that it fried the entire planet for a month, or two? Even those undergrounders will melt as the earth temperature turns to 451 degrees and the very dirt they stand on becomes molten down to a mile deep in the earth? Please, say it can never happen.
The stupid doing what the stupid do continues with no real consideration for the unplanned for results. These crazy babylonians, the same ones that invented zionism/nazism, communism, capitalism, and adfinatum ism's, are stead fast at it to complete their evil plans of world domination using the money-god to do that. Their agenda is being hurried by the fast awakening world who all see these evil banksters and money-god mercenaries as the WORLD”S common foe. Right now, ALL the people SEE who the demons are and KNOW what to do. Just stay home, and spend no money. Fark it!
Everybody knows who starts wars for profits and the evil agenda 21 population reduction plans. The stupidity of it all is, so many that see the blind horse peeing on the front lawn continue to support this beast of burden. ANYONE that is in league with these cretins of hell, will fall by the same sword they use on others to support this evil anti-Christ agenda of POPULATION ELIMINATION(WORLD-WIDE) AND WORLD DOMINATION of the last remaining few. The babylonians are using the same old ancient provocative propagandistic phony-baloney hack-n-saw woar methods of killing and destroying so they can first profit from the war making materials, and then come in and buy the remnants for pennies on the fast dying dollar using a currency du jour in the aftermath. That is, if there is anything left after this cronybus bill gave them moar unlimited spending of tax payer dollars on war materials.

(prolly some ZH'ers in the comment section)
All as planned, of course. What is shaping up to go down, is the globalist banksters setting up Russia and China(money engine) to be the victors in the coming planned world war to end all wars, or to attain that final solution they have worked for centuries to manifest. Too bad, too sad everyone will get burned after they are ALL used up and discarded like the rest of humanity. No one will believe this next false flag borsht when they pull it off, no matter how much govt sponsored propaganda the lying dying lame stream media whores rattle and rant about. NO ONE LISTENS TO WESTERN MEDIA ANY MOAR! Here is a great place to hear some truthful ranting.:
http://rt.com/shows/crosstalk/
The rothschilds that created isreal are using the israelians to be the sparks that start the world forest fire, and the silly slaves do not even know that they will be the first targeted nation to get hit hard by those they pick the fights with, or blame their next False Flag Event on. Can't have no loose ends to talk later on, ya know. It is the proverbial pied piper leading the lemmings off the cliff of stupidity. Those that deceive to make woar, will ultimately be deceived. Those that hold money up as god, will fall like the money-god will. Telling them isrealians now what the future could hold, would be like talking to a wall. Sometimes, stupidity is as thick, as a brick. Evil only knows itself at the moment of death, and then it is too late to change that hell bound path. Of course, there is always repentance and forgiveness to consider as a turn around from total annihilation, world-wide.
Everybody knows the evil rothchillian puppetry in zioland IS the problem. The puppets and slaves have not been taught any better, so give up some minute compassion for the blind idiots doing the evil beasts bidding. Woe unto you, oh isreal! What would the rothchild slave-masters do without their mad-dog-attack-puppets?
And how about that possible coming EMP, nuke, or what ever it could be to take the attention off the planned crash and, POSSIBLE world woar?
What to do?
Maybe if the Awakened American people got off their duffs and went down to camp out on the doorsteps of every single war mongering puppet congress critter, and every single war mongering puppet senate toad until they see the light, and requests of the Awakened people to end all wars and bring ALL our troops home for Christmas, situations could change??
What if everybody went to war against the media institutions, liars, and puppet propaganda machines, instead of with each other? Gee, if you want to warmonger so badly, go and war with the liars and deceivers that mislead you and use so many for their, not yours, evil gains. Stop being slaves to the system, and go take it back from those who want to kill you using dis/mis-information, lies, and deceptions to do it with.
Rothchild end game: globalist world domination using an electronic money-god system to track, trace, and heavily tax everything.
WAKE THE FLOCK UP!!!!

I don't think you've thought through what the actual end game is. You mention 99% population reduction, and also a global money-god system. Population reduction doesn't serve the uber wealthy for the forseeable future. Presumably the Rothschilds also like modern conveniences and none of those are possible without pretty much all modern humans. Consider the supply chain involved for any product or service. And we already have a global money-god system: the Internet. The real concern (long term) is AI plus advanced robotics. At that point 99% population reduction might be feasible, and 100% reduction might look attractive to the AI. At that point we'll be praying the Rothschilds et al. actually do have an EMP blast.
I have always been considered a bright guy. On the other hand, what has impressed me most about myself are my limitations... or, as I have suggested to my kids on more than one occasion... human intellect is nothing to get overly excited about.
So if there is a super elite group of money changers working behind the scenes to conform human society to their plan... something that has apparently been going on for the past two thousand years... in fact, I have it on good authority that the Jewish exodus from Egypt was one of the grand schemes in the CSI lexicon... nor is it any coincidence that Christian Bale, who was the star of Equilibrium, played Moses recently. Good heavens, it just occurred to me... the garden of Eden... what was that all about... yes,it is all coming together now... if there is a super elite group of money changers pulling all of the strings they must be some other species... oh wait... Neanderthals... that's the ticket... finally giving those pesky Cro Magnons their comeuppance.
But you will have to admit... they are one hell of a patient lot are they not?

That is so old. At this point, the whole world sees it coming. Only the brain dead centrally controlled MSM cannot admit it. Yet. I read some sheeple formus where a vast majority sees it coming. People know something is terribly wrong, even if many still do not understand what is lurking in the dark, but they know something really bad is creeping nearer and nearer.

Funny how you write about McDonalds when Ray Kroc did not even get control until 1955 long after Coca Cola, Kodak, Singer, Ford, GM, IBM, GE, RCA, were established in Europe and beyond.
The US used European War to undermine imperial powers and accrue gold. It accrued so much gold that it had to lend Dollars to bankrupt Europe after both world wars and had speculative frenzy in the 1920s because it failed to sterilize.
The Vietnam War flooded Asia with Dollars permitting industrialisation and bringing huge numbers of workers into industrial production as the US focused on financial engineering and social rights.
It was all too easy and the Cold War allowed the US to expand tertiary education to produce rocket engineers but ended up with liberal arts instead and became a war economy needing the MIC to be fed as the consumer goods sectors focused on marketing rather than Product
The USA became more like the USSR with a war economy and importing consumer goods from countries that lived under its defence umbrella
terse and concise. wish I could do that. +1
"it had to lend Dollars to bankrupt Europe after both world wars" - lending started during WWI, both in terms of armaments and armament financing
in fact, looking back you could say with some safety that WWI entry of the US was in order to protect those financing arrangements
"... it is even more amazing the fact that, a specific perception is spreading widely, by the mouthpieces of neoliberalism, according to which, social state and social benefits, but also, state intervention in economy, even in banks' bailout - the same banks which the mouthpieces serve - is a good prove of the Soviet function, even of the European Union! Maggie would completely agree, as of course many people who rush to adopt such 'inventions', and because of their communist-phobia, assist on this propaganda. But the truth is that, this type of intervention, is targeting on creating the suitable conditions, which would benefit big capital - and finally lead to the self-deconstruction of Nation-States - in order to serve completely its interests, in fully deregulated conditions, something, which is quite far from a Soviet-type state characteristics."
http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/07/maggies-ghost-what-is-hauntin...
I wouldn't call *six straight months of negative sales* including a -4% November figure for McDonalds "slowing growth".
I'd call it a bloodbath and a sure sign of the apocalypse.
not really. They are just struggling overseas with alot of issues (Russia and China in particular) and there menus have gotten increasingly complex while their service times/customer satisifaction scores are way down. Also have an issue that a lot of their franchises are in older locations with dated/crappy in-store furniture and fixtures.
I am not sure if it is hilarious/sad that this author thinks McDonald's is an 'American institution.' The only thing it is in institution for is spreading the legacy of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity in the form of disgusting and lowest-common denominator food globally.
well, yes, exactly.
when you add
to mandatory allopathic death-care, you get quite a profit-able business model.
check out the real history of the AMA cartel.
oh, another cultural trait: the interchangebility of US and "the West"
"To understand what this means we must consider the expansion of American culture around the globe since 1944, which was the year the USD became the primary reserve currency used in global trade. As use of the dollar increased, so did the acceptance of western culture. Everything from McDonald’s burgers to Hollywood creations were exported around the world."
funny that. Spanish culture in Latin America? French and British culture all around the world, in their respective empires? 19th Century Japan importing Prussian models of governance?
some of our American Cousins should decide what "The West" means, in cultural terms
I guess Brandon Smith has off from writing his crappy co-ed this week for the holidays and instead this guy got nominated.
