How to take down the Billionaires

Chapter 9

The primary source of the billionaires’ power is their control of economic activity through a shadowy set of alliances with multinational corporations and investment banks. They are able to create money for their use out of thin air through central banks and to use that money to bribe, to purchase real assets, and to develop the technologies they require to control the rest of humanity. For the most part, we are talking about supercomputers for processing all the data collected and satellites, CCTV cameras, drones and other spyware for collecting it for their use.

This scheme to control the global economy works as long as the population accepts the myth that these billionaires earned the money that they use, that they own the assets that they claim to own, and that the money they use to finance their projects actually exists.

Resistance to this economic take over must take two forms.

First, careful documentation of exactly how the billionaires use investment banks, and intelligence agencies (mostly privatized these days) to create their wealth artificially and to force their will on the citizens of the United States needs to be written up and to be distributed to all citizens so that we increase awareness of how the nation actually works.

That education for citizens is a critical stage as most of the critiques of the billionaires that people are exposed to are emotional simplistic conspiracy tracts that do not explain how the system works (even though they may accurately describe criminal actions) and therefore such materials do not help the citizen to formulate a strategy for taking these billionaires down.

For the most part, the message is that some billionaires are greedy and unfair and let us just be mad at them.

Second, we need to create our own independent and self-sufficient economy that allows us to avoid the insidious influence of global finance and we need to set up systems for economic and financial interaction at the local level that can later be extended to cover the entire country and will replace the corrupt Federal Reserve and the network of parasitic banks that currently runs the United States for the benefit of corporations—many of which are headquartered outside the United States and are not “American” in any sense of the word.

Once we have formed small and dedicated groups of citizens at the local level who have pledged to fight for freedom and the rule of law, and to support each other throughout whatever trials we may encounter, we must create our own independent economic system.

That starts with money, the object we use for all exchanges but over which we have no control and whose value can be increased, or decreased, or even eliminated, by the hidden forces in global finance. Their insidious plans to replace currency with digital money that can be turned on and off by hidden forces without the permission of citizens, is a tremendous danger that we face today.

We need to establish in our communities our own currencies, currencies tied to the barter exchange of products, food, and services between citizens that is 100% independent of the closed empire of logistics, distribution and retails sales controlled by a handful of billionaires. Such a currency will be based on

substantial and the tangible things and thus unaffected by the inflation cooked up by billionaires to rob us.

Malls, franchises and branded products form the backbone of a non-participatory vampire economy that has replaced the independent local economies that once existed in the United States. Most cannot even remember that we once had healthy independent local economies in which clothing, tools, furniture and food were produced in the region, thereby assuring that all money stayed at home and all jobs were local jobs.

Every time we must purchase something at WalMart or Target, at Whole Foods or Starbucks, a large chunk of our money leaves our community and ends up in the pockets of the billionaires through these economic dictatorships that rule the American economy.

We do not need, or want, more jobs created by multinational corporations, or their offspring, jobs financed by massive investment banks, or supported by a Federal government that spends non-existent money to create short-term effects with the result that our money is stolen from us over time by inflation.

If we can produce everything in our local community, all profits stay in our community. We can make real jobs in the community in which the worker makes his or her own decisions and does not have the billionaires pulling strings through biased job requirements cooked up to control us.

That sort of economic independence will change the entire equation and give us new power in this battle against an entrenched and ruthless class of global billionaires.

We must clearly identify and describe the dictatorship of distribution and logistics, of marketing and finance that robs us at every step in our lives. Sadly, most alternative media outlets, afraid of the power of big money, complain about politicians but do not describe in detail how the economy actually works, let alone how we can obtain economic independence.

Citizens must be educated about the multinational corporation and its true nature as part of our revolution. Apple, Google, Coca Cola, or Amazon are not American corporations. These multinational entities serve a tiny handful of the elite around the world and pay minimal taxes while exploiting the people.

Politicians who talk about jobs and pay but who never talk about assets, are simply there to distract you.

The mass criminality of billionaires over the past thirty years is, in itself, more than enough justification to seize all of their assets.

Yet the corporate media has convinced the people that these criminal syndicates are somehow American, that we should support them against threats from China and Russia, threats often cooked up by those very multinationals.

We are taught, in school, and the story is repeated by the corporate media, that the economy is determined by growth and consumption, manufacturing, exports and imports, interest rates, and above all, by the stock market. Every day much of the newspaper and of the evening news is filled with reports about such economic activities which supposedly follow scientific principles laid down by the rational field of economics.

But economics is as scientific a field as is alchemy, witchcraft, or bloodletting with leeches. Most the prescriptions for happiness presented as holy orders by the economists are in fact detrimental to the lives of citizens.

Growth is a made-up concept that demands that we waste needlessly and extract and destroy natural resources endlessly in order to live a better life. There is no scientific basis for the demand for growth and extensive evidence that it is destructive for the lives of citizens and has a negative impact on resources and on the environment because it is obsessed with short term effects and blind to long-term consequences.

Growth is tied to the psychosis of consumption that holds that unless we keep buying and throwing away things that we do not need, the economy will collapse. The result of the consumption ideology is that if you build a house that will last 300 hundred years, craft a table that will last 100 years, knit a sweater that will last fifty years or darn socks that will last ten years, you are engaging in a crime against this sacred economy. If you grow your own food, or spend time taking care of your sick mother, these actions that have no meaning, are a negative for the economy, for growth, for the GDP.

Most items that we buy at the store are made overseas-requiring that they shipped for thousands of kilometers, wrapped in paper and plastic, and only available through layers and layers of middle men.

We have been sold the falsehood that we must export and import in order to grow as an economy and that such growth is essential for the lives of ordinary citizens. In fact, global trade, the death cult of “free trade,” is destructive to local economies and has been used by the rich to weaken the economic independence of citizens, thereby making them slaves.

Anything that comes from China or India, from Mexico or Thailand, must pass through the hands of multinational corporations multiple times. They take their pound of flesh at every turn, and they make sure that they are in a position to raise prices, or even shut down the local economy, at any moment.

The primary news in the economic section of the newspaper is interest rates and the stock market. It is assumed that these are fundamentals to our economy that must be carefully tended to by experts for the sake of our betterment.

I will not pretend to understand the sordid and secretive system by which multinational banks set interest rates and how they use those interest rates, and exchange rates, as a cudgel to punish those beneath them who try to help the people. All I will say is that the entire system is run in secret, completely outside of the constitutional framework of the United States, and therefore has no legitimacy.

The stock market is equally horrific. This system allows investment banks to collude with the CEOs of corporations to create value out of nothing. The stock market, run by for-profit corporations like Nasdaq allows corporations to create value through their stock by using money borrowed from the banks, or given by the federal government, to buy back their own stock. It is a Ponzi scheme on a massive scale.

The Constitution makes no mention of the stock market and government institutions have no responsibility to support this criminal enterprise. The fact that we have been lulled into relying on a dangerous and unaccountable institution outside of the framework of the Constitution means that it will be difficult to transition to a democratic and participatory economy. But, granted the deadly schemes been undertaken by the COVID-19 dictatorship, we have no choice.

Creating an economy focused on production by citizens, in accord with the word and the spirit of the Constitution, must be our goal. Not only must we expose the fraud of Wall Street and the rigged stock market, we must propose an alternative economic system for United States that is focused on needs of citizens and that supports the local economy, and is not reliant on “trickle down” from global economic exchanges by multinational corporations.

It is important to stress the critical role of food production in the battle for freedom and independence.

The billionaires have targeted the control of agriculture as high priority because they plan to starve those who resist them at a later stage in this war. They have already amassed immense amounts of farm land on which multinational corporations use automated systems to grow GMO crops, doused in pesticides and herbicides, in soil poisoned with artificial fertilizers, for the consumption of the people.

The intention is gain complete control over food production without any humans involved in the process.

Although this dangerous preparation for the next stage of class warfare is completely ignored by the corporate media, we must be ready to supply our own food, and to challenge the authority of billionaires to buy up farm land that belongs to all citizens using phony money made up by investment banks.
