Lately, I’ve been posting articles about elite power groups and their historical connections to Russia.
Here is a piece that raises a problem these power groups have been facing---a problem that won’t go away.
I wrote and posted this article On June 10, 2015. Here it is:
Stay with me on this one. You’ll see what the powers-that-be are really worried about.
You
can roll up Bilderberg, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on
Foreign Relations, the World Trade Organization, NAFTA, and the several
current trade treaties nearing completion…you can insert all these
Rockefeller Globalist forces into one great corporate agenda, and…
There is a problem. A problem for Globalism. This is, behind the scenes, what the titans of control are whispering about.
It
starts here: understand that mega-corporations are the instruments of
world domination. They move into countries where cheap labor, land, and
resources are abundant, and they take over. This is what they’re meant
to do. This is the plan.
Intelligence
agencies and armies may precede them, but the corporations are the most
capable organizations on the planet, when it comes to exercising
enduring control.
It’s been estimated that the top three or four hundred corporations are responsible for at least 25% of all world trade.
However…here
is the rub. As Globalist policies allow corporations to shut down
domestic factories in their own industrialized countries and open up
those same factories in places where slave wages are the order of the
day; as tariffs on imported goods are canceled, killing off businesses
that try to compete with mega-corporations; as leading economies
decline…
The consumer base for these mega-corporations shrinks.
To put it simply, the corporations sell products. They need buyers. All over the world.
The
top manufacturing corporations are running their assembly lines at
about half-capacity. They could produce much, much more of what they
sell.
But only about an eighth of the world population has the means to buy these products.
There
are partial fixes for the problem: profit-making wars; sales of
corporate products to governments; governments basically paying citizens
so they can buy certain products. But, in the long run, these solutions
don’t cut it. The mega-corporations are still lacking consumers. You
can create only so many artificial buyers. Beyond that, the market
system irretrievably heads downward.
Mega-corporations have the potential to produce and sell more and more; the consumer base is shrinking.
***Globalism,
the very system that is determined to elevate the power of
mega-corporations, is diminishing the number of people who can consume
what the corporations make.
The snake has been eating its tail for some time now.
Mega-corporate CEOs and their advisors aren’t completely stupid. Some of them see the handwriting on the wall.
World Bank and IMF fixes aren’t going to make this problem go away.
Neither is some drastic depopulation program. That would be heading in the wrong direction. Fewer consumers.
What
about a radical re-set involving a new global currency? Suppose, for
example, every inhabitant of the planet were outfitted with a free
credit card carrying substantial buying power? Theoretically, that might
work, if you discount what people who actually earn a living are going
to do when they see billions of their fellow humans who don’t work
outfitted with comparable consuming power. And that rumbling class
warfare would be just the stormy beginning of the trouble.
Creating
money out of thin air to satisfy the avarice of banks, to pay off
governments’ soaring debt, to boost corporate bottom lines is one
thing. Creating money out of nothing to make six or seven billion brand
new consumers is quite another thing. In that case, the
corporate-welfare gifting would lead to pollution and destruction of the
environment on a scale that makes current levels look like a few
leaking picnic baskets on a Sunday park outing.
There
is another factor to consider: technological innovation. For
mega-corporations, that means robots/machines replacing humans as
employees. More unemployment---unless the corporations hold back and
refrain from implementing the “automation revolution.”
The
corporate thrust, however, is always about moving forward. More robots
in the workplace. Bigger assembly lines. Higher production.
It turns out that the Globalist agenda has an expiration date. Beyond it, the system comes apart at the seams.
The
normal solution to a problem of this magnitude is: think short-term;
avoid the inevitable; pretend all is well; leave the answers to the next
generation.
Consider
how hard-charging greed-head mega-corporate masters would react to the
following proposition: “Look boys, we know you have the ability to
produce goods for two or three planets the size of Earth. But we want
you to service only a tenth of one planet, and that base will shrink
further. Okay? Don’t worry, be happy. Everything is fine.”
Behind every Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral conference, this is the specter that lurks in the shadows.
They’re
not worried about escalating the level of their political control over
populations. It’s the economics that don’t add up, no matter how many
holes in the dam are temporarily plugged.
Every
present Globalist agenda-item does two things: a) it aims at tighter
control of populations, and b) it enforces and progressively lowers a
ceiling on mega-corporations. It reveals a future in which the number of
those corporations will be drastically reduced. And that’s the
rub. That’s the hidden factor.
Yes,
the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. But everyone who thinks
that analysis is the core of the current crisis is looking no farther
than the end of his nose.
It
turns out that decentralization of power, on every level, is more than
just the hope and dream of a relative few. It’s a planet-wide
imperative; and survival is at stake.
The greatest economic matrix ever devised is blowing its engine.
