IN FACT, THE WESTERN SYSTEM HAS ALREADY COLLAPSED

By Mauro Marturano

I'm bringing up again a short piece from the movie In Time, an extraordinary film that becomes even more extraordinary if you read our present through it, but also our past and our future 😂.

And I laugh because, where you might think I'm trying to pass myself off as some kind of fortune teller, in reality there's no fortune telling at all, just plain understanding... of causes and effects. Years of study, years of very deep reasoning: don't think it takes the time of a quick smoke break. You'll have to give up... a lot of smoke breaks 😂.

The moment time (money) is stolen from the rich side and handed out to the poor side, the system collapses, because the factories of the poor side grind to a halt and so everything's value disappears: if there's no production, there's no value.

The system doesn't actually collapse when the factories stop. All it takes is for the perception in the air that money is being handed out for free, and the system has already collapsed.

For 30 years money has been handed out to people who don't produce, to farmers to not produce, to livestock breeders to not produce. For 40 years many factories have relocated to China or to countries with cheap labor. For decades too many people have been paid to not work, especially in communist countries like Spain and Italy. For 30 years, everything possible has been done to squeeze whoever actually produces, so that their labor is worth less. For basically 30 years, the arrival of foreign products in Europe has been made easy, instead of incentivizing European production.

And, as if all that wasn't enough, we went and made/organized/planned a war against our best supplier, scoring ourselves an extraordinary (but deliberate) own goal, losing the one and only driver that was keeping us standing.

There's nothing left in Europe, except money. But with money alone, the destiny, the only possible destiny, is the one in the movie.

If you understand the meaning of all this, Covid, wars, nuclear plants, etc. are the justifications the Western sheep needs to have (and swallow) so it never comes to understand that it has actually been living a grand illusion. An illusion that had an expiration date.
