Great piece. Truly, all wars are bankers' wars.

You speak of the short, medium and long-term financial advantages, all of which are well-explained. While it's outside the scope of your post, I'd like to point out for the benefit of your readers who might not be aware, that the biggest financial shenanigan BY FAR of The Great Reset / Scamdemic was in fact the Going-Direct Reset. John Titus: “To be clear, the Fed absolutely needed the 24/7 hype over the alleged pandemic as superficial justification for its massive $3 trillion balance sheet expansion, which in turn created $3 trillion of new money in private hands—exactly as BlackRock’s plan called for. Without the saturation air cover that the Fed had, its acts would’ve amounted to a naked money grab, which as it was even Jim “Mad Money” Cramer called one of the greatest wealth transfers in history."

“...Nathaniel, (pictured) “may become the richest Rothschild of them all” thanks to “bold bets in this era’s new-money investment vehicles” and the family’s traditional geopolitical foresight. — Of course, we know that “ traditional geopolitical foresight” could easily be replaced by “geo-puppetry”. This euphemistic bit had me grinning ear to ear.

“All such showcase events, including most so-called “revolutions” and so-called terrorist attacks like 9/11, are, in my view, merely “shock and awe” operations designed to push traumatised populations further into the prison-camp society favoured by the criminocrats.” — I'm not sure the “in my view” qualifier is necessary at this point. To those paying attention and those who make a study of such events, the evidence is overwhelming that what you state is very much the case.

Suffragette co-optation … how interesting. I did not know that.

“The reality is, of course, very different. It is that control of our national and international institutions, as well as of the entire industrial-financial system, has fallen, by foul means, into the hands of a veritable mafia.” — Here's a poetic play on Big Gov / Big Biz as the ultimate Cosa Nostra ... https://redpillpoems.substack.com/p/la-loro-cosa

I second your response, on all the points you bring. I had no knowledge of the Suffragette dynamics, either... Very ugly stuff. But then, it seems that Greed brings out the WORST in people.

It seems so clear to me that the main problem we face in this life (and most others) is ... MONEY. The greed grows out of having any money around to lust after-- Right? So what can we do about MONEY? Is it absolutely necessary to continue to have it? I think not, but I don't say that lightly... It would take SERIOUS efforts to re-wire our world for a money-free era, I imagine.

But hey, if ever there was a time that was RIPE...

I apologize in advance for bringing our string of concurrence to an end. You were safely en route when you said “Greed brings out the WORST in people” … then you hit the ditch.

With all due respect, the notion that money is the "main problem we face in this life", is not one I agree with. At all. The lack of money that some people experience is OFTEN a problem. The super-concentration of it in the hands of very few (as is currently the case), is ALWAYS a problem. Likewise, the monopolization/concentration of its issuance and distribution is ALWAYS a problem. Money itself is NEVER the problem, any more than knives are a problem because people get stabbed to death. Any more than water is a problem because people die in floods.

"Money is the root of all evil" is a platitude of the worst kind. It is both fallacious and the result of shallow thinking. It denies human agency and excuses poor behaviour; our behaviour, human behaviour. "Greed is the root of all evil" would be much closer to the truth. Greed is the problem. Greed is a cancer; a spiritual cancer. If instead of “is … MONEY” you had written “is … GREED”, I would have concurred. The conflation of money and greed is not one I will ever go along with. I'll leave you with this poem:

Like envy and hate

greed is a fever that takes

over the soul

darkens the heart and poisons the mind

crowding out kindness and reason

clouding our judgment leaving us blind

and numb and dumb and deaf

to the faint cries of fairness

and the pernicious effects

of false accounting.

I keep seeing this in the Activity… I have lately been almost inundated with people who respond to a comment with a concrete misunderstanding and rejection of what I said. How about “THE WAY MONEY IS USED”? Y’know, all you have to do is ASK if that’s what someone means, and allow for clarification, before you start making up your mind, forever and ever, inserting your own “take” of it as if you KNOW, when maybe you don’t… A conversation, not splats of words. Back n forth, y’know? Just had to throw that in.

Yes, I am a bit touchy, for lots of reasons, but in the past few days, I’ve had several people tell me what I said, and they twist it into something ELSE. Okay, bye.

"I have lately been almost inundated with people who respond to a comment with a concrete misunderstanding and rejection of what I said" — Clearly, there's a pattern. Clearly, you are being misunderstood. Assuming this is not deliberate imprecision on your part, write so that you are not misunderstood, or at least less likely to be so.

If I was a mind reader, or if I knew you, or if I had visual clues, or ... we might easily not have had this needless back and forth, being as we were in agreement. But all we have are words to go by, so herd your words with care.

I try to be very careful with my words. If you are more careful with yours you won't be needlessly wasting your time nor the time of others.

"Y’know, all you have to do is ASK if that’s what someone means" — Wrong! People are not interviewing you. It's up to you to say things clearly.

Simply put, unless attention and/or wasting people's time is what you seek, express yourself more clearly. That's what your "Activity" is trying to tell you.

Peace!

Yes, clearly there IS a pattern. As I said, this is a pretty recent development here on this site. Dog forbid that you might be off in your assessment. No, you don't know me, and no, you're not a mind reader. If you're being very careful with your words, then it must mean that your intention is to patronize. I thought I saw some integrity there, but I guess I was wrong AGAIN. You are doing just what is expected now... telling me what I mean, what I should do, and How Things Are, because clearly, I don't get it. "Needless back and forth"-- ?? If that's what you think communication is about, then no wonder you're so .... whatever, sonny. "Imprecision," LOL smh

Arrogance: It's what kills all the fun.

Well, alrighty, then, O Wise One. First off, you've left out the main part of the quote:

THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil. Because how can inanimate objects be "EVIL"? And what exactly IS the "love of money"? Hmmmm. Maybe it's GREED.

I can't tell you how many times I have had typed interactions with people who misunderstand (purposefully??) what I'm saying (Flog me! for not making it more clear!!!), and then proceed not only to patiently explain The Truth to me, as if to a small child, but then also to insult me for not saying what they think they know, and have known for SOOOO long, and which is SO OBVIOUS... Excuse me while I grab a towel.

I suppose you fancy yourself a brilliant poet, standing head and shoulders above most other people, looking down your nose at the Riff Raff, while you suffer their ignorance ... and try with utmost suffering and patience, to try and explain the simplest of facts...

Maybe the root of all evil is ARROGANCE. Or PRIDE. Or just plain snottiness.

Get over yourself, and wipe your nose, and then maybe you could simply ask for clarification.

If there is a radically different means of WEALTH, perhaps we could come to a place of more or less universal health, all basic necessities a given, a healthier overview of Life's Purpose, good work for everyone who is able, good care for those who are not, and the kind of education that most of us have never even contemplated... Of course, this cannot be INSTANT, it will take time and much work. Good Work. Are you able to imagine this vision without a LOT MORE explanation? I wonder... This Earth is a heaven, and the pursuit of power, greed, and petty selfishness, resulting from 1) allowing wealth to be subordinated and captured by the least likely to use it in any way other than selfishly, and 2) allowing the wealthy to then subordinate others, and to "own" not just the means of production, but to make the rules, control other people and make the decisions about what most of the People of Earth are to think, do, and how to live. This cowardice toward SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT, systems used for the basics of life, such as production of food, means of basic necessities like shelter, work, the SIMPLE yet NECESSARY needs of all human beings, by yielding to those with material WEALTH, and yielding that MATERIAL WEALTH TO certain individuals, allowing those few individuals to RULE OVER others, in almost every way, has brought us to this crossroads... We now face utter annihilation, as a real possibility. We face nuclear war. We face the collapse of so many things, that will in turn cause terrible suffering, and all for NO. REAL. REASON. other than it is the whim of these vastly wealthy .001% to eradicate (CULL) a great swath of the Earth's population because ??? Most of us are INFERIOR, and there are "too many of us"???

Tell me, how are you helping? Insulting people on Substack? Before you attempt to pick all the nettles out of my comment, perhaps you might vacuum the need to push others down out of yours. Cheers, and please, no need to retaliate further.

I'm sorry you took my response as some sort of personal attack or put down. It was nothing of the sort. The only people I look down on are people who deserve to be looked down upon by their actions. I look down on people who do evil things.

I was making a point, which I thought was valid; a distinction I thought was worthy of making since it's so commonly missed.

I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that guests on a stack such as this were above assuming base motives.

I did not crash your thread, you crashed mine. If someone responds to a comment I make I always read their comment, and if need be, respond to it ... PRECISELY because I respect them, see them as equals, and think them worthy of me spending time responding, just as they thought me worthy of their posting a response.

I seek dialogue, not drama or confrontation. If you cannot tolerate disagreement, I would suggest not piggy-backing my thread.

I'm sorry you took my response as some sort of snotty-ness, none was intended.

PS: Nowhere in your original post is "THE LOVE OF MONEY" mentioned. Clearly, if you'd written that instead of "MONEY", we wouldn't be wasting our time. Unfortunately I'm not a mind reader.

I’m very sorry I “crashed” your PUBLIC comment.

Why is it that when people disagree, they so often feel they need to insert words into people's mouths, and insult them, too? Hmmm.

LOL

I think I’m done here. Good Woof, and Good Luck.

Thank you again, PAUL! Bracing to see the criminals' history set forth in such plain terms! 'The Financiers behind " '9/11' "is third section in JIM HOFFMAN's and my Waking Up from Our Nightmare book, and it touches on a the profiteering from Wars that you get into here. With " 'COVID-19' " now so clear a crime of mass-murder after ' '9/11' ", let's indeed work to turn awareness into revolution. Yesterday's Post was a song with links to the San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury. https://donpaul.substack.com/p/911-is-a-big-lie

As ever thanks for this illuminating and challenging analysis. I am close to finding its sweep irresistible. I am troubled, perchance because of my past, by your depiction of the post-war 'new normals' as controlled completely by the criminocracy. Converted to Marxism in the early 1970s but always at odds with the Central Committee it was the early 19990s before I fled from its authoritarianism and determinism. Yet I'm conscious that even now I speak of the post-WW2 social democratic consensus, of a certain accommodation between Capital and Labour created by pressure from below. Perhaps I do so because I was born in 1947 and reaped some of the rewards of that temporary agreement. Am I being naive in holding on to a notion that, however limited, working class agency was of consequence in the criminocracy's weighing up of what was best for them in the days following the Second World War?

Best wishes and solidarity

Always a pleasure to read or listen to these brilliant and well informed writings.

The criminocracy whitewashes their leading players by bestowing prestigious awards on them - The Nobel for peace was one and now there's another.

Remember Melbourne?

Dictator Dan Andrews has just been awarded the Order of Australala - not that the award ever meant anything the point here is the whitewashing of empires puppets who've deliberately gone out of their way knowingly caused massive amounts of harm to other people.

Despite the great reset, population growth has not peaked. However, we just don't know if some barbaric off-the-wall event will trigger a tsunami of titanic proportions and takes the world down the rabbit hole.
