How Western Governments Will Steal Your Land, Part I - Jeff Nielson
This was a difficult piece to write, and an equally difficult piece to title, because the people who most need to see this message are simultaneously the least-likely to read it. How do you steal anything? Boiled down, there are only two procedures: doing so via brute-force (i.e. robbery), or doing so by deception (i.e. fraud).
This is primarily a warning about the latter form of stealing, although ultimately there will be brute-force employed, for any who attempt to resist the mass-foreclosures and mass-evictions which are now imminent. To explain how your land will be stolen from (most of) you – by fraud – first requires a brief lesson in economics, conducted via a simple, hypothetical scenario.
The easiest way to illustrate any economics (or mathematical) principle is through the use of an extreme example, so we will envision a real estate market (in this case, Canada’s market) at two, opposite extremes: one purely hypothetical, the other the real-life nightmare that we see currently.
Imagine a real estate market with the rate of interest on mortgages as high as it could possibly go. For the sake of providing a concrete number, let’s say 1,000,000% interest. We can say, with certainty, what conditions would be like in such a market. Apart from the (very) small number of buyers who are ready/willing/able to pay-in-full for their property (and thus require no mortgage), let us assume – for convenience – that only one person could still afford a mortgage: the Richest Person in the land.
Putting aside the tiny number of cash-buyers who are always present in any real estate market (and thus cancel themselves out), we would have only one buyer in this market – the Richest Person. But (as always) there would be lots of people wanting to sell their homes. With a population the size of Canada, at any given moment there are hundreds of thousands of homeowners wanting to sell their property.
Hundreds of thousands of sellers. One buyer. What can we say about the real estate prices in such a market? Supply and demand. With mortgage rates at an ultra-extreme high, real estate prices would be at an ultra-extreme low. Thus we come to the fundamental equation of real estate: real estate prices are inversely proportional to mortgage rates.
The higher that mortgage rates get, the less potential buyers who can afford to remain in the market, until (ultimately) there is only One Buyer left, and real estate prices are at their ultimate, theoretical low. As with any mathematically based principle, the reverse is also true. So let’s look at a real estate market at the opposite extreme – the Western real estate market.
In this extreme, mortgage rates are frozen as low as they could possibly go, like our mortgage rates. For convenience, let’s assume that “everyone” could afford to buy a home in this scenario…at least at first. But what do we know about the prices in such a market?
We already saw that having only one buyer in the market meant that real estate prices would go as low as they could possibly go. Thus having “everyone” in the market (at first) obviously means sending prices as high as they could possibly go – ever. (Can you say “bubble?”)
Now observant readers should begin to see the “fraud” previously mentioned taking shape here. Knowing that the lowest, possible mortgage rates guarantee the highest possible prices, our governments – more specifically, our central banks – took interest rates as low as they could possibly go, and froze them there.
The central banks have taken interest rates as low as they could possibly go, to deliberately create real estate bubbles, all across the Western world. Then they froze these ultra-low/ultra-extreme interest rates, so that these bubbles could grow to their maximum, possible size.
How do we know this was deliberate fraud, and how do we know that our (corrupt) governments are willing partners (actually servants) in this fraud? Simple. To begin with, the central bankers themselves already proved that ultra-low interest rates don’t work. That case study is called “Japan”.
Thirty years ago, Japan’s central bank permanently froze its own interest rate at near-zero. Twenty-five years ago, it had already proved to the world (via its own failure) that ultra-low interest rates (as a long-term policy) did not work, would never work, and could never work. Now all of the central banks, across the entire Western world have been copying Japan, with the full support of our corrupt governments.
Why would anyone (deliberately) copy failure? In general terms, there are only two possible answers. Someone deliberately copies failure because that person is an idiot (or simply crazy), or because that person has an ulterior motive.
Are all the central bankers, across all the governments of the Western world “idiots”? That’s not what we’re told. What we’re told, by our governments, by the Corporate media, by the charlatan economists, and by the bankers, themselves, is that these central bankers are the smartest people our governments could find. Ipso facto, if they’re not all idiots, then they all have an ulterior motive: creating the Mother of All Bubbles.
But that is only one way of proving the deliberate fraud which is at work here. The other way to prove this is to simply note the obvious fact that all of these central bankers lied to us. Back at the beginning of 2009, when they began pumping-up the Mother of All Bubbles (except for the U.S., which had an eight-year head start), the central bankers promised us – vehemently and collectively – that these ultra-low/ultra-insane interest rates were very, very temporary.
“We will never copy Japan,” the Liars promised us, again and again and again. And then they copied Japan, deliberately. They all conspired to make the same promise (lie). They all conspired to commit the same crime.
We know this is deliberate fraud, because our governments and the central banks (and the Corporate media and the charlatan economists) are also lying to us about inflation. The Liars lament that inflation is “too low” (complete with regular, crocodile tears).
Inflation Is Still Too Low [Bloomberg, February 2012]
Why the Fed Worries Inflation is too Low [Bloomberg, May 2013]
Inflation Isn’t Too High; It’s Too Low [Bloomberg, March 2014]
Fed’s Fischer Says US Inflation Still Too Low [Wall Street Journal, July 2015]
In the real world, inflation has never been higher. Food prices are skyrocketing at the highest rate in our lifetime, and real estate prices are skyrocketing at the highest rate in our lifetime. Food and shelter. Yet the Liars tell us there is “no inflation.” Who are they trying to fool? Everyone.
Why are they trying to deceive us about inflation? Because if they acknowledged the high inflation, the central bankers would be forced to raise interest rates dramatically (and end the bubbles, prematurely) since higher interest rates are the only (legitimate) “prescription” for the disease of inflation – other than a responsible monetary system.
The central bankers created these real estate bubbles with their low interest rates. They created this high inflation (with their insane/excessive money-printing). They lied to us about interest rates. They lied to us about the inflation. Need more proof of fraud? Why did they create all this inflation, in the first place – with the most-extreme money-printing in history?
They did so because high inflation is the second-biggest driver of real estate bubbles, behind only ultra-low mortgage rates. What do people do when inflation is devouring any/all wealth in paper form? For those who do not convert their wealth into gold or silver, they flee into real estate.
These Criminals were not content with merely creating one “driver” for the Mother of All Bubbles, taking interest rates as low as possible, and freezing them there. They also created the second biggest driver of real estate bubbles – high inflation – and have also taken it to the greatest extreme possible (while pretending it doesn’t exist).
Low mortgage rates create real estate bubbles. We have the lowest mortgage rates in our history, year after year after year. High inflation creates real estate bubbles. We have the highest inflation in our lifetime, year after year after year.
Is this just a “coincidence” (year after year after year)? Or, is it part of a larger fraud? For readers who remain skeptical, we have just begun to scratch the surface on this Crime of the Millennium. Part II will dig deeper. We will see who (precisely) is behind this massive fraud, why they are endeavouring to (literally) “steal all our land”, and readers will also see how this fraud is being perpetrated, in even greater depth.

this whole story is pointless.....when the economy/bubble finally crashes, no one is going to be buying anything for a long long time. taxes will be zero for a long long time. anyone that was 'paper' rich will be wiped out. this is a joke. when we crash this time...we go back to mud..!
it is too funny how people think we will have a little downturn and everything will be back to normal.
So at this rate money in a retirement account will lose most of it's purchasing power in 5-7 years.
Ya just leave all of your money in an RRSP (canada) or US equivalent and see what you have left.
To save ourselves we must Stop paying and man the guillotines.
Zion is a scheme, not an ethnicity..
Good, clear article that mostly just tells it like it is and doesn't pull punches. But they shouldn't present articles like this in multiple parts. That's counter-productive.
Yes... but you should be thankful you don't have to "swing-by" some website and sign up for a paid subscription to read the other half, LOL!!!!!
It could also be that the typical ZH reader cannot mentally digest a full post in one sitting (yikes!). Some of the comments here make you wonder.
ba-dupe.
That was a good alternative approach to explain the introduction within the 1889 book "The Great Red Dragon: Foreign Money Power In The United States." The old way of stating their goal "is to own the earth in fee-simple."
Government steals land through taxes.
I know where that argument goes. My advice: before you buy property, look at the size and cost structure of the county government and learn what you can about the attitudes of elected officials: do they want to "grow" the county (with it's government and services) and especially the cities within it?
Pay attention to the likely future tax appetite of the county where your property of interest is located before you buy.
All the money is pretend anyway, why are there interest rates at all?
ABC BANK has 100$ in assets.
ABC BANK loans out 900$ in assets it never had.
Borrower repays 900$ loan.
Bank profits 900$
Why is interest even needed?
ALL MONEY IS BOOK ENTRIES IT DOESNT EXIST AND THEY DONT HAVE MONEY TO LEND.
Well, actually, in theory anyway, the bank must destroy the principle repaid (the $900), and only keep the interest paid as "profit".
Of course, nobody but the federal reserve "verifies" that this happens, so we all know at least the federal reserve creates money out of thin air that never gets paid back. They just spend it on wars, bribes, payoffs... and buying up real assets for their owners.
So you're right... the system is pure evil. Just not the way you state. In theory, at least.
Another question is "Why compound interest instead of simple interest?"
If real inflation is high then housing should increase in terms of dollars because people want real value for real property.
Given that dynamic there would be no "bubble" in housing, but simply adjustment relative to real inflation.
"magine a real estate market with the rate of interest on mortgages as high as it could possibly go. For the sake of providing a concrete number, let’s say 1,000,000% interest. We can say, with certainty, what conditions would be like in such a market. Apart from the (very) small number of buyers who are ready/willing/able to pay-in-full for their property (and thus require no mortgage), let us assume – for convenience – that only one person could still afford a mortgage: the Richest Person in the land."
Just the opposite will happen. Gov't would dream of taking properly way since:
1. Take away property tax revenues
2. Crush the economy. Construction spending would vanish and millions of jobs related to real estate would vanish too.
3. Gov't have dropped rates to encourage home ownership in to stimulate the economy.
4. What the hell is the gov't going to do with all that properly. Homes foreclosed during 2008 collapse owned by Freddie/Fanny continue to rot away and taken over by squatters.
This article is pure non-sense.
And what do they think all those people would do? Just quietly pack up and go live under a bridge?
You can evict a few folks, but once you get over 'a few', you start getting resistance. And a LOT of people in this country are armed, heavily.
I hate articles like this that imply TPTB are some kind of omnipotent gods, able to do what they want at will...like what are we supposed to do? Give up and go sit in the corner?
Don't hold your breath...once TPTB start overstepping, they WILL get their heads handed to them. Anyone hoping to profit from these kinds of mass foreclosures is going to have their illusions shattered badly.
Just a word of advice to anyone hoping to profit off of their neighbors misery...the time for that is over, and no one is just going to hand everything over to you. If you want it, it's gonna be molon labe, and good luck with that.
Things in this country are on a hair-trigger, and God help the ones who trip it, because it will be very ugly for them.
Try to broaden your conception of endgame scenarios, and see Pol Pot, Mao, and Stalin if references are needed.
How they will steal your company: crony CEO borrows to buy back stocks, rates go up, bonds come due, economy sours, company shareholders lose everything, bondholders own bankrupt company.
ok.....so where's the "steal your land part"?
after they destroy the economy they raise property taxes. thats what ended the privately owned farm during the great depression. this time they will go after residential homes. bush sealed the deal when he spoke so eloquently about the home ownership society. in twenty years there will no more privately owned homes. and while the number of renters versus owners goes over 50% those people vote for the property tax increase because they own nothing. soon the entitlement demographic will be a majority. you have a right to undue taxation according to the constitution, but enforcing that will require a lot of expensive lawyers.
Very good points here.
"Egypt" the land of slaves and Pharaoh's.
Just saying.
Whether you believe the bible or not the story of Joseph is instructive. During the 7 fat years he bought farmers' grain for almost nothing and stored it. During the lean years he sold it back to them at inflated prices. First he got their money, then their animals, then their land and finally their lives. The only ones exempted were the priests of Pharoah and his relatives (who got a free ride because he was in charge). He moved the people to the cities and hired them back to work the land, taking 20% of the profit in perpetuity. In Genesis 47 it says "And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh".
Now imagine that you could engineer the 7 fat years and the 7 lean years. I think this is what the article is saying. The 7 fat years can be created by low interest rates. Raise the rates and you have the 7 lean years at the end of which the government can own it all.
Nobody really owns their land in the US. We're just renting it from Uncle Sugar and the bankers. Stop paying your property taxes and see what happens. True ownership of your real estate property would give you the option of "opting out" of the government myth, and that cannot be allowed.
molon labe
Great work Jeff.
What do these thieves think they'll be left with when they have all the assets and the population has little incentive to play their game?
What good is having all the money, etc. when most people won't know where their next meal is coming from?
There's no real fix except pm and no debt as individuals. Nationally and globally there is no fix period. People will beg the government to fix things as chaos sets in.
Then what?
See: communism
A rich person once said, "It's not what I have, it's what I have that you can't."
Absolutely. The great thing about owning 10 homes is that no one else can live in them in your absence.
LOL!
Think again. If things get that bad, no one is going to stop someone from moving into your vacant homes...You'll have to throw them out yourself. The police will be a bit busy, so don't expect any help there.
Wear plenty of Kevlar, and try to keep moving so they can't get a good aim. And pray.
"...your vacant homes..."
I guess /sarc has to be explicit.
Yes, the government will end up seizing your land for unpaid taxes. But they will give it to the Chosenite bankers for those back taxes which will be paid with fresh new money that they will conjure up with their magick.
But they will give it to the Chosenite bwankers
FTFY
;-D
OBTW: Unfortunately for the Chosenites, enough of the people in the fleecing queue are fully aware of the frauds being perpetrated. These people are well armed and willing to fight to defend their rights. GO 3%!!!
Propery is a liability.
