Goldman Sachs and The Usury Chain
Very few people genuinely understand the inner workings of economies and what makes them function. Goldman Sachs would be the exception. To simplify the explanation somewhat, it is an unnatural act to begin with. The basic tenet behind any Usury Chain is the need to create demand itself, whether that demand is real or imagined. The building blocks of the Usury Chain begin within Government itself, or The Bank, since it has the money and has the power to regulate money through Tax and Spending Policy and through the issuance of Debt. Our current rendition of The Usury Chain began in the Reagan Administration with wholesale Tax Cuts for Businesses and Individuals. These Tax Cuts automatically put more money in the hands of Businesses and Individuals once Tax Rates were reduced, that money in Individual Budgets and Business budgets then went to work bidding up asset values in order to strengthen Balance Sheets with 'paper profits'. This was the spark that lit The Usury Chain. This Chain then ratchets up prices and assets until there is NO MORE MONEY to bid prices higher. The net effect of The Usury Chain is to create demand in an unnatural way and then as a result of doing so, to then charge INTEREST which rises on a compounded rate which exceeds the worth and value of asset prices, or even their ability to rise to parity with Interest Compounded. Simply because the Interest Component is removed from the economy, never to return again, except in the Formation of Newer Debt, asset prices become stalled in value and once owners of property recognize this, Panic sets in. Why does this happen? Because eventually Interest removes money from economies at an ever accellerating rate, based simply on the compounding nature of Debt. You see, it wasn't that we lived beyond our means, it is that we were forced to live beyond our means simply because of a Usury Chain that was put into practice for the purpose of raising prices on everything from soda pop to Housing. This system has now prospered again by profiting off of the misfortune created by The Bank to begin with.
Charles Dicken's story 'A Christmas Carol' explains the Usury Chain in bold enough detail in order to make it's point. Scrooge not only owned the Farms, which he then rented out to sharecroppers, he bought their wheat, made the market in the wheat, owned the Housing that the sharecropper lived in, and controlled the Income of the Sharecropper through markets he controlled, thus insuring the sharecropper's demise. The reason why this demise was inevitable is simply because the rate of Interest exceeded the rate of increase in Income. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Now that Goldman Sachs has reported their Record Income; yet again, it is sourced from the same Daisy Wheel that created the circular flow of money in the first place. Goldman is now Bailing out Municipalities and Banks after having caused them to become Bankrupt in the first place. They accomplished this feat by overbidding for Housing within their own Communities to a level far in excess of the average member of that community to earn and the waves of this effect spread outward into the community fostering greed in The People themselves. Adding insult to injury, they are doing it now with our Grandchildren's money, borrowed from the FED, under the guise of a Crisis which is designed never to effect them. You see, as makers of markets, GS also has the option of dumping it's own shares, at precisely the right moment to insure Panic in Markets. This is not what Chief Justice Marshall had in mind when declaring it unlawful to scream "Fire" in a crowded Movie Theatre. Goldman does this all the time. It is their schtick.
Unfortunately, there are only two possible outcomes in this Daisy Wheel economy that they have created. The first outcome is an 'Egghead Contrived Depression' which results in the wholesale loss of weath by every American. The second outcome, and one which will solve the problem is a wholesale BOYCOTT of all GS Business interests, and/or an Anti-Trust Prosecution, thus ensuring the demise of The White Wolf that preys deliberately upon The People. The dominoe effect of the single actions as a single Firm ought not control the destinies of The People. But it does. And therein lies the crime, just as Judge Marshall expected it to be. We have been here before. America has seen these problems before, just as Dickens saw the same problems in his time. Until the practice is outlawed, and prosecuted, it will continue unchecked until the last dime is extracted from the US Economy, rendering all others broke. And then what? A Revolution to solve the Crime?
