Where Is Neo When We Need Him?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Paul Craig Roberts,

In The Matrix in which Americans live, nothing is ever their fault. For example, the current decline in the US stock market is not because years of excessive liquidity supplied by the Federal Reserve have created a bubble so overblown that a mere six stocks, some of which have no earnings commiserate with their price, accounted for more than all of the gain in market capitalization in the S&P 500 prior to the current disruption.

In our Matrix existence, the stock market decline is not due to corporations using their profits, and even taking out loans, to repurchase their shares, thus creating an artificial demand for their equity shares.

The decline is not due to the latest monthly reporting of durable goods orders falling on a year-to-year basis for the sixth consecutive month.

The stock market decline is not due to a weak economy in which after a decade of alleged economic recovery, new and existing home sales are still down by 63% and 23% from the peak in July 2005.

The stock market decline is not due to the collapse in real median family income and, thereby, consumer demand, resulting from two decades of offshoring middle class jobs and partially replacing them with minimum wage part-time Walmart jobs without benefits that do not provide sufficient income to form a household.

No, none of these facts can be blamed. The decline in the US stock market is the fault of China.

What did China do? China is accused of devaluing by a small amount its currency.

Why would a slight adjustment in the yuan’s exchange value to the dollar cause the US and European stock markets to decline?

It wouldn’t. But facts don’t matter to the presstitute media. They lie for a living.

Moreover, it was not a devaluation.

When China began the transition from communism to capitalism, China pegged its currency to the US dollar in order to demonstrate that its currency was as good as the world’s reserve currency. Over time China has allowed its currency to appreciate relative to the dollar. For example, in 2006 one US dollar was worth 8.1 Chinese yuan. Recently, prior to the alleged “devaluation” one US dollar was worth 6.1 or 6.2 yuan. After China’s adjustment to its floating peg, one US dollar is worth 6.4 yuan. Clearly, a change in the value of the yuan from 6.1 or 6.2 to the dollar to 6.4 to the dollar did not collapse the US and European stock markets.

Furthermore, the change in the range of the floating peg to the US dollar did not devalue China’s currency with regard to its non-US trading partners. What had happened, and what China corrected, is that as a result of the QE money printing policies currently underway by the Japanese and European central banks, the dollar appreciated against other currencies. As China’s yuan is pegged to the dollar, China’s currency appreciated with regard to its Asian and European trading partners. The appreciation of China’s currency (due to its peg to the US dollar) is not a good thing for Chinese exports during a time of struggling economies. China merely altered its peg to the dollar in order to eliminate the appreciation of its currency against its other trading partners.

Why did not the financial press tell us this? Is the Western financial press so incompetent that they do not know this? Yes.

Or is it simply that America itself cannot possibly be responsible for anything that goes wrong. That’s it. Who, us?! We are innocent! It was those damn Chinese!

Look, for example, at the hordes of refugees from America’s invasions and bombings of seven countries who are currently overrunning Europe. The huge inflows of peoples from America’s massive slaughter of populations in seven countries, enabled by the Europeans themselves, is causing political consternation in Europe and the revival of far-right political parties. Today, for example, neo-nazis shouted down German Chancellor Merkel, who tried to make a speech asking for compassion for refugees.

But, of course, Merkel herself is responsible for the refugee problem that is destabilizing Europe. Without Germany as Washington’s two-bit punk puppet state, a non-entity devoid of sovereignty, a non-country, a mere vassal, an outpost of the Empire, ruled from Washington, America could not be conducting the illegal wars that are producing the hordes of refugees that are over-taxing Europe’s ability to accept refugees and encouraging neo-nazi parties.

The corrupt European and American press present the refugee problem as if it has nothing whatsoever to do with America’s war crimes against seven countries. I mean, really, why should peoples flee countries when America is bringing them “freedom and democracy?”

Nowhere in the Western media other than a few alternative media websites is there an ounce of integrity. The Western media is a Ministry of Truth that operates full-time in support of the artificial existence that Westerners live inside The Matrix where Westerners exist without thought. Considering their inaptitude and inaction, Western peoples might as well not exist.

More is going to collapse on the brainwashed Western fools than mere stock values.

No, you're wrong and what you're saying is dangerous. 

 

Just like blaming 9/11 on the Saudis, blame is always deflected away from Israel. The US is a client-state of Israel, not the other way around. 

 

The propaganda is getting thicker by the day.

The American psyche is burned seared I say, by our flight from Pharoah, the Diaspora, the pogroms, and the Holocaust.   The Mayflower had been sailing toward the ovens with direct survivors of all of these disasters, but the mighty ship was tossed, and they hatched their plans to re-establish Israel hundreds of years later at the first Thanksgiving, where the Indians were dressed up as Palestinians and made to throw rocks like girls, for the cameras.   Good times!

China is getting the blame now. We all knew that bankers would deflect the blame to somebody else. Let's hope that they only try to blame China for the crashing markets. Let' hope they don't us in a war or set up some false flag attack.

We must always remind each other who is actually responsible: The Fed!

Also remember who the real enemy here is: Sure its the Fed, Clintons, Trump, Bushes, Trump, Kissinger, Obama, Boehner, Reid, and countless other politicians and bankers. But really Ephisins 6 10:20 sums it up pretty well!

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

One of the youngest states in the world is hardly a threat. Client status means they're held by the balls. Any other understanding is simple paranoia.

What you should be worried about is that your UN sponsor allows ethnic cleansing on such a scale in Palestine. That makes you culpable.

yep.  and the way they are doing it is DESTROYING THE STRONG AMERICAN MALE FIGURE/ARCHETYPE.  They want femanized douchebags in America so no one will have the strength to stand up to them.  One small example.   I live in Thailand.  Single thai women can travel to Europe with ease (i.e. can get a visa no problem).  They 100% cannot get a visa to the USSA.  Think about it.  What FUCKING reason would they have to allow thai prostitutes and smoking hot chicks into europe but not the united states?  Especially when everyone and their fucking grandma is allowed in from Mexico?  American men are SEXUALLY repressed and therefore susceptible to depression and a load of other shit that comes along with not having a good fuck on a regular basis.  This makes them easily controlled and overstressed physically and emotionally.  This is not a game, people need to wake the FUCK UP.

Many of the problems of modern life, including the actions of the US government, are founded in the very currency that enables it to act seemingly without effort.The ability to create the medium of exchange for the entire world has given this same government the appearance of invulnerability. It has allowed the federal government to make demands upon the states that comprise it. It can control citizens whose consent used to be required for it to act. It seems to have the ability to control the entire world.

This is an illusion. It has been granted these abilities, it has not earned them nor won them. The world needed a monetary system post WW2 and even post 1971. The final stages of this whole episode was seen by Rueff and triffin quite clearly considering they spoke 40 plus years ago.

Now the world has changed. It is withdrawing the permission it granted every time it bought treasuries or did other things that kept all those excess dollars from coming back to their country of birth to cause rising prices. The chinese are selling, the Arabs are selling and the ECB stopped buying long ago. They are not going to kill the dollar (and cause a war). They are going to let it fail through inaction. The actions of our nation do not make much sense to most folks who viewed thenUS as a good country. It seems to have been talen over by evil people.

I think these are the actions of spoiled choildren who don't have to pay for what they get.

Now the trust fund has run out. Daddy took the T-Bird away. Soon we will have to get a real job.

About 50% of American exceptionalism is due to the exorbitant privelege. The other part is actually real...if we can salvage those things that once made us truly great. Most americans, who pay attention, are shocked and angry by what they see their government doing.

Both the government and the American people are not worse than any other country would have been if it was granted the same power over money itself. I just hope the ending of this chapter comes smoothly beofre we wreck the car and kill a lot more people.

It is time to grow up and get a real job.

Bravo. THIS is why the idea of any fiat "world reserve currency" needs to die for the good of the planet.

On a national scale, I don't mind a fiat currency as long as it is not 1) issued by the government, 2) fraudulently claimed to be anything but fiat, or 3) mandated as the sole currency allowed for a nation. (Or city, or town, or any group.) That way people are free to ignore it in favour of real money. "Counterfeiting" laws should be scrapped in favour of good old-fashioned anti-fraud enforcement. But no government should ever be allowed by its people to traffic in a fraudulent, fiat currency, let alone to mandate it as the only currency legal to use. This puts criminals at the top of the system and riddles your financial system with fraud, and with such a foundation, of course bad money drives out good and eventually  'malinvestment' in unproductive or evil commerce becomes its entire result.

nice post LasVegasPersona,

 - again, bad behavior is a result of poor education and leadership, bad diet - which is a result of the horrible guidance of those within the DEA, claiming to KNOW what's good for us, who have actually been eating the worm in the spoiled apple and have convoluted themselves into a sick shitshow of the opposite of what we need, nutritionally and spiritually and mentally. 

Who has forgotten that just a few moons ago our own DEA chief was FIRED for overseeing a group of DRUG HEADS that parties with the CoCaINE CaRTEls of S. America ?  Who has FORGOTTEN to tell your family & friends about this farce of a breach of duty to themselves & the country that the DEA represents ?

The real Matrix of tyranny that we Americans are being oppressed and plundered by is vulnerable, like all tyrannies, to Rejection--"No!"

Stop obeying, Stop paying, Stop playing their game., and demand Liberty,

With a modicum of knowledge of how the tyranny against us is structured, one must come to the conclusion that, unlike other oppressed and plundered peoples of history, we Americans are armed with a great and mighty weapon; A non-violent weapon as well. And that weapon is the removal of our backs from under their skyscraper of fiat-debt funded tyranny. Withdraw our backs, Stop paying, and their entire edifice and empire of plunder, murder, and tyranny will collapse down upon them.

So, just Stop. Stop paying. Next Stop whatever consent you may have given them with a loud "No!". Then Stop playing along with their farce; The farce that empowers their tyranny over you, us.

Just Stop and exclaim "No!"

Zion is a scheme, not an ethnicity..

 

The Four Rs
Rejection: Stop Paying, Stop Obeying, Stop Playing, Stop-up the System.
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Restoration: Restore the American people, country and Constitutional republic.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution.

one of the best ways to do the above is grow your own food.  the people have been led to believe that it is much too difficult to grow your own.  check out "Square Foot Gardening" and the Growing your own greens youTube channel.  Its actually quite easy and doesn't require much land.

...."And I would not say that they were just 'defending themselves' by building up enormous currency reserves that just happened to come there way. I have not gone into this recently, but China took some very aggressive policy moves, including devaluing their currency against the dollar and then controlling it, and spread quite a bit of money in the right circles with regard to trade policy around Washington, to enable a mercantilist system in which they were able to build up their economy to some degree at the expense of the American middle class. Although vast fortunes were also made by some of their all too willing partners in the West as well as their own emerging class of oligarchs.

But putting that aside, the outsized financial sector in the US, which was also enabled by a big money campaign for deregulation in Washington, marked by the overturn of Glass-Steagall, has certainly spawned a significant systemic problem of corruption and malinvestment, inequality reinforced by policy, and an eroding of democracy itself.

Until steps are taken to correct this, there will be no sustainable recovery. People are fed up, and angry, and reaching for solutions some of which appear to be some rather poor choices made in extremis.

And as for the wealthy, dumb, and distracted classes, busily keeping themselves out of any meaningful discussion with the amusing distractions of the triviata of their professions, while occasionally taking a fat stipend for spewing nonsense while nursing a steady share of the vig, the consequences of all this are going to roll over them like a tsunami at midnight.

And once again, 'who could have seen it coming.'" jca

Hey, let's just cut the crap for once, OK?

When you drill down through all the layers, the Big Four investment firms are the major shareholders in the majority of major corporations in North America and Europe (haven't checked China yet?):

BlackRock

Vanguard Group

State Street

Fidelity (FMR LLC)

[There are several others on the list of the top Asset Management, like Allianz Group (owned by Allianz SE) and BNY Mellon and JP Morgan Asset Mgmt., etc. but they are majority owned by the Big Four, also!]

So there it is, and if you require further elucidation on this Matrix-like situation:

there's a lot of truth in that statement....I've reached similar conclusions.  I used to want to help people but realized its no use, so better to sit back and watch.

We need Gabriel (John Travolta) from the movie Swordfish.

The scene wherein he shoots the treasonous Senator Reisman (Sam Shepard) through the heart!

I think Mr. Roberts is starting to get a little shark jumpy with his rhetoric. Millions aren't fleeing the ME because they are being carpet bombed by B-52s, as he so foamingly suggests, but rather because a combination of collapsing oil prices and failed shithole regimes has opened the door to war, famine, and most definitely a failure of the states in the region to provide the customary bread and circuses for the masses.

There are economic reasons for their flight. There are political reasons for their flight, There are religious reasons for their flight. But to suppose that millions of people are being left with only the alternatives of hopeless exile or certain death at the hands of the rampaging US Air Force is ludicrous.

tarabel, you are a hoot

Yep those poor refugees had quite a financial interest in Middle Eastern oil, and when prices collapsed and the dividends stopped, well....

And as far as those failed shithole regimes go, they were a lot better off before Bush invaded Iraq and Obama okayed and funded the Syrian revolution.

The article should also talk about the lack of responsibility on a micro level since citizens don't feel they are responsible for anything they do. An example is how a black guy can go get caught robbing a store and pull a weapon on the cops and get shot and somehow the cops are racist. 

The country as a whole just plays the blame game with everything and I'd gather the amount who actually do take responsibility for their actions is about 25%.
