THE ONLY SERIOUS THEORY... IS ITO'S

A theory according to which everyone agreed on managing the population through globalization.

Globalization meant... choosing one part of the world to be real slaves so that another part of the world could live a decent life.

Slavery obviously involved abuse but... also an underlying consent.

Because shepherds, in every situation, need the consent of their sheep.

I've always talked about the imbalance between purchasable goods and goods that can actually be extracted, transformed, and transported.

Have you ever seen a sheikh hauling water?

The big problem is that even I, in my own small way, have been a sheikh.

And so have you. Or a whole lot of you.

Because ordering things with your ass on the couch is a sheikh's move.

Getting lunch delivered to your house is a sheikh's move.

Being able to go to a mall and buy clothes you'll never wear is a sheikh's move.

Money has been spread around, badly, but it's been spread around, and rights have piled up.

Rights that, however, have no backing.

Because the backing is slavery.

But the capacity/possibility to enslave can never keep pace with the capacity, the possibility, to create money (= claims on paper).

But if there aren't enough slaves — relative to the money in circulation — how much is the sheikh's money worth?

And how much is my money worth?

And so globalization went on for as long as it was possible to enslave new resources.

And globalization ends/has ended when that's no longer/no longer been possible.

We're at the end of globalization, and certainly not because Xi Jinping, Putin, or Modi have come to their senses.

If that were the reason, they would have come to their senses earlier, and surely each for their own reasons, not in a coordinated fashion.

Because if there's one thing that's clear, it's the coordination of events.

They happened when they had to happen.

Xi Jinping, Putin, Modi, etc. got along with ours for as long as they had to get along.

And now they don't get along... because the imbalance I've always talked about doesn't allow this world, organized this way, to keep going.

A world that WORKED.

This is a very hard part to grasp for anyone who... has too much, way too much, trust in people.

Reality is very different...

Reality is that people fight over toilet paper (scenes we've all witnessed).

And so... like it or not, what we've lived through has been a pretty good outcome.

But that world is over now.

And it's over because this was the ONLY DESTINY of fiat money.

It couldn't have ended any other way.

Every civilization gets screwed when money gets splurged in abundance: it was the same for the Roman Empire.

Today what's decaying above all is the Western Empire, that is, the part of the world that benefited most from fiat money.

Fiat money, which is the currency of illusion.

And with fiat money, the illusion is leaving too.

Those who've governed us are true champions, because the alternative scenario would truly be social chaos.

Chaos that, for now, doesn't exist, except in our weak minds, so prone to being swayed by the nonsense we hear.

So weak that we can't see things for what they are.

For now...

a wonderful theater.
