We are already in Great Depression 2. The mental image of total chaos, a cessation of all economic activity, etc., is entirely false. People are not controlled by government and corporate policies, rather herded by them. Let’s clarify this image.

First, it will get significantly worse. No one in their right mind doubts that, but they also wouldn’t pretend to know exactly how it will play out, particularly in terms of your everyday experience. I can’t even offer meaningful statistics. Some of my readers will hurt badly; others will hardly notice. There are too many variables, and the study of Economics cannot rightly apply itself to individuals. It’s a part of the Social Sciences; it is intended to explain vast sweeps of human behavior. It is very poor at projecting trends, but not so bad at cleaning up afterward. Thus, only in retrospect would any of us have a decent explanation for our individual experiences. All we can say for now is most people in most parts of the world will notice a change in their fortunes for the worse.

There is plenty of this which is not a matter of Economics, but more of Criminal Justice. The first crime was the concerted effort from long, long ago to deceive the masses. It’s really nothing new; conspiracy is not a mere theory, but a word to describe a particular approach to understanding human history itself. Every government is a conspiracy to rule, and they have uniformly been untrustworthy, differing only in the degree of harm to various groups affected by their power. The second crime has always been nearly every government official ever born ended up seeking only their personal benefit. The difference between democratic governments and naked tyranny is the the necessity of deception with the latter. You are either find yourself bluntly forced or slyly manipulated. The Great Depression 2 is the result of the latter.

Nor is it all one thing, with everyone in the ruling class in on some vast secret. I doubt whatever the Illuminati actually are knows nearly so much as is alleged, but I do know their goals are not what most people expect. Whatever it is they may be, their primary mission is to control the debt of the world. Everything else is allowed to run its course, with all sorts of powerful people simply chasing their own personal pleasures and whims, regardless what noble and fine things they may say or write. A significant element in that package of personal pleasures and whims are various dreams unconnected with reality, which grand delusions they fondly pursue to assuage some personal insecurity, some sense of “I matter, dog gone it.” That they often want such wonderful things for the rest of us selectively excludes how frustrating it is for our deep desire for something else. But their vision trumps ours because — well, theirs has to be better simply because they gained the power to make theirs happen, see?

Here is an ugly secret about our entire global economic system: It steals from the future. You see, if we all followed our instincts, we would naturally find some rhythm of ebb and flow in economics. That is the nature of things, resulting from our very human inability to always allocate resources where they do the most good. This business of borrowing against future productivity is designed to smooth out that wavy business and keep everything on the upward trend. Advertising is designed to promote a bottomless sense of false need for the next new thing. It works for awhile. Eventually the borrowing outpaces the natural production and we have one huge crash, because we keep pushing off the obligatory drops until they are all bunched together.

We know the stimulus funds to boost car sales and home sales this past year were nothing more than borrowing heavily from an already declining future productivity. This gives the impending crash a much sharper drop when it comes. The whole point is we need to allow our consumption to drop back until it matches our production, which has been pretty poor for quite some time. It was masked by shifting around the borrowing so quickly the consequences couldn’t keep up — for awhile. They have caught up. What we have been doing instead of producing is employing an awful lot of people to find new ways to shuffle that debt in bigger, faster and more complicated ways. We called it “Information Based Economy,” as if there were anything productive and economic about shuffling economic information.

The Illuminati, such as they are, control the debt we have piled up to the moon. My cynicism about their actual brilliance is linked to my skepticism they can actually enforce their control of all that debt. Never mind how complicated it is with the mix of government and private obligations. If the common productive folks who have been suckered into all this obligation don’t embrace ownership of that debt, there is no way to collect. Once they lose that fear, it’s game over. I don’t mean common default, which simply shifts the debt to other hands and lowers the value, but simply denying they owe it, deny the whole system. I am not addressing this from a moral point of view, but the much more brutish reality of how people act. The Social Sciences are not about solutions, but about describing what has been happening all along so we have some realistic notion of what to expect. The Illuminati will have a tough time keeping together the system which would allow them to hold it over our heads.

It need not be a universal annulment of the debt obligation. There is some invisible tipping point at which the whole thing collapses, and I doubt it even requires a majority, either in terms of value amount or parties involved. Yes, there are key players who form choke points affecting everyone on either side of the flow, and they are hardly uniformly in bed with the Illuminati Debt Masters. It’s not a question of good or bad, and “Who will save us?” It’s that this thing is too complicated and messy for anyone to figure out so long as they are merely human, and grouping intelligence won’t help much. If your assumptions are all wrong, genius means little. All the manipulation in the world can’t keep the whole world in line.

Don’t think they aren’t trying. Part of the game is creating such a bogey man out of the coming collapse so as to scare folks into obeying government dictates. The whole thing rests on dependency. If you believe you need it, government owns you. If you know for certain you don’t, you will simply bide your time and break free when the coast looks clear. If you are crazy enough to believe you’ve been free all along, you’re the easiest of all to control. Let’s make this clear: The Illuminati — such as they are — were in control of framing the US Constitution, and ran the Revolution before that. They didn’t much care whether America won or lost, only wanted to ensure there was a catastrophic war to create debt and gain control of it. It is actually a bit more complicated, but that’s the essence of it. The one revolution they don’t want is the one where everyone simply starts over, in such a way it excludes dependency on anyone who isn’t your close kin.

Not exactly blood-kin, but a kinship of trust which means nobody has to be in charge. The very human bond of fellowship which defies all logic and law is the greatest threat to the Illuminati, and thus to every government in the world. We are all fully capable of agreeing to common expectations because we naturally prefer a fair and just society. We self-regulate just fine for the most part. Most regulation is built on lies about some desperate need which doesn’t exist. Humans who get along without leadership are the very last thing they want to see, and is the single thread of interest behind every attack they make on us. You see, this impending gloom and doom will hurt, but not nearly so much as we tend to imagine. If our imagination of such things is restrained by the reality of a very good interdependence of reliable kin, we are already free from most of the pain. The misery depends much on your level of dependence, on your sense of how badly you need the fraud sold to us as our grand American identity.

Stop trying to be American, or Canadian, Australian, or whatever. Try being a human instead.

The Great Depression 2 will hurt, but it will hurt a lot less if we understand certain things about what got us into it in the first place. That includes being a sucker for too much material junk, and borrowing from tomorrow, and dependence on a system which enslaves you to your insecurities. Learn to be secure on other terms.
