The US government as we now experience it daily will soon end.
I can’t predict how much of a change is coming, but there is a sense in which it will collapse and be replaced. This will happen even if we all sit still and watch, because the collapse is built into the very structure of the system. I’m guessing a part of it will include finally discarding the pretense of the US Constitution, along with a bunch of other symbolic lies. Oddly, I rather suspect the flag will hang around at least awhile after the change, because in the American mythology, that is our primary national symbol, rather like other countries have powerless royalty and other figureheads of bygone eras.
But the core event of change will be financial, not political. That is, I strongly believe the key event here in the US will be the banks confiscating some portion of deposits. Perhaps it will be publicized as a form of default: “We lied. We don’t actually have your money safely stored, after all. It’s gone.” It’s hard to explain all the nitty-gritty details in common terms, especially when I have some measure of doubt about what I know in the first place. Rather, I’m only explaining what I see and what I make of it.
A key indicator of what it’s all about is something I can’t reference directly. Over the past decade, I’ve heard from several different sources that the whole business of NSA spying on citizens is about the money. That is, they’ve always been trying to track the business deals between foreign banks, corporations and governments. They have always spied on the money transfers and tried to capture the technology secrets so that our big industries could under-bid them. Another thing they’ve tried to do is gauge the underground economy. It’s not so much an interest in your cash dealings under the table as they want to know all such dealings together, and for the whole world. I doubt they have any expectation of controlling such exchanges, and aren’t likely to use your personal information unless you are deemed a threat by someone inside or connected to the spying network. Rather, the information as a broad understanding enables the corporate contractors participating in the spying to take full advantage of where the money is and take their cut. The NSA is all about money.
At the same time, an awful lot of folks working in the banking, financing and various other types of Wall Street stuff are doing something similar. They don’t have access to all the NSA’s detailed intercepts, but they do have access to all the transactions of the world. They run the systems that the NSA is tapping. Since before there was a US, there have been people who discovered that handling other people’s money and keeping it secure renders access to insider information on plans of politicians. A certain portion of the US Founding Fathers were members of this elite banking cartel, albeit mostly rather junior in position. As time went on and technology increased the speed of communications across the globe, it made the information exchange necessarily more vulnerable to these people’s search gaze. On some level, they made themselves somewhat trustworthy in the things they promised to their clients, but also got hold of things they never discussed outside their secret councils. As things got more complex, there were more and more scoundrels and more kinds of scoundrels flocking to the opportunities for complicated money management schemes.
What began as wise internal restraints become of necessity government restraints, but not long ago, the laws simply stopped matching the activity. Then, even some of those laws were dismantled, leaving the average Joe Consumer totally in the dark about the system. There has never been a significant number of honest people involved in the system; it’s been simply a matter of less and less careful people crowding into the system. As the system grew in size and complexity and with more people to blame for things they couldn’t possibly control, their arose an entirely different subculture, an extension of the original Merchant Civilization that arose from the ashes of the Middle Ages. It does no good to define this subculture as “criminal” because that requires too much an assumption of morals and laws that simply never existed among these people. They remain fully aware of what most of us think, but never considered it applicable to them.
Now we have a secretive system by which virtually all government officials in the US — and probably most other countries — are either members or servants of this financial ruling class, a world apart from us ordinary people. You only think you are friends with your banker. He’s an alien being in disguise and he lusts for your life’s blood, but things haven’t yet come to the point where he can simply seize your ass(ets) and suck you dry. An NSA whistleblower is piffle; we need a banking whistleblower if we are going to find out anything useful. The NSA is simply a leech on the system, and there is plenty that is not exposed to their spying methods. The system is bigger than the NSA, despite all the fear mongering.
But the system has become highly unstable. Different factions have gone to war within the system, and a significant element is rooted here in the US. These here in the US made a move to capture the wealth of most of the rest of the world through mechanisms already long in the system. In essence, they packaged some lies and sold it as part of the real value in the system. The other players realize they have been suckered, but taking direct action to recover their assets would expose the system, and they aren’t too sure it is worth the risk. They are still making too much money with the system in place, so they have been fighting a war, as it were, in the background using all the same sort of tricks our NSA uses, for example. While they are fighting each other, they are also desperately trying to seize all the remaining assets of us ordinary people. They keep setting up new ways to make our assets vulnerable without us knowing we don’t really have anything. They let us pretend to use our money, seeking to gain control of all the remaining real assets through various means.
But the pressure from the fighting is about to break some critical parts of the system. It’s just waiting for some key player to make some critical move to recover what they believe is rightfully theirs and it will cause a domino effect, a cascading failure. Nobody knows who or when, but everyone is bracing himself for this. That’s because when this thing breaks, it will sweep the entire world in less than 24 hours.
The effects will be uneven because of how each player is preparing to face it. Some have better understanding of this or that; some have a better sense of proportion or a better estimate of human nature at large. At some point, it will all boil down to physical control of real assets. The definition of what constitutes a “real asset” may vary somewhat with the context. For you, it’s not merely whether you have a running vehicle, for example, but whether you can keep it in your possession. Government agents with weapons may or may not become a significant factor. The resulting instability will shake things up and your local context could mean an awful lot. Who knows what restraints will actually work with any given population?
Obviously, a strong community spirit will protect a lot of assets internally. That sense of community will be tested severely in some places. Our tribal human nature is more powerful than most people know, but the selfishness of some will remain a threat, along with alternative or secret tribal alliances already in place. Broadly speaking, you have no friends in government or commerce unless you are working in those spheres. Chances are you’ll be forced to choose between competing loyalties. Expect a very sudden show of naked brutality from those with the means of violent force as they strive to maintain their control. For some, it’s already obvious to them government is “them” and not “us.” To the degree banking, finance and commerce are in bed with government, they are your sworn enemies, too. They will all see the greatest benefit in maintaining some elements of the current system, while said system will become the single greatest threat to you and I.
In my calling as a shepherd of souls, I’m hoping the necessities for you will be obvious. If I can explain something of the context, you can work out your priorities with God.
