GOD GIVEN RIGHT 3

Bankers usually prefer to make money the old fashion way-by sitting on their fat asses and doing absolutely nothing.  They also prefer any kind of economic activity that mostly just shuffles paper around.  Moving or manufacturing physical inventory is so…primitive.  Beneath them to contemplate.  They create free money out of nothing and then make a big fuss about deciding who is worthy to borrow it.  Or, they decide that the ‘Murican people are not showing the proper respect and failing to give the bankers the proper amount of income and hence have to think of a new insurance that must be mandated by law.

*

Sure, other institutions do similar evil deeds.  The CIA and other Intelligence Services Industries were not given enough love and money and so they decided that they would move the mountain to Muhammad and became such big drug buyers and distributors that it makes Columbian billionaires envious.  Wars might make big money for the Daddy Warbucks industries but the spy boys are on the fringes moving opium to great profit themselves.  The medical industry couldn’t afford enough new mansions in the Hamptons filled with hookers and blow so they had to partner up with Medicare to create and run the Death Panel List.

*

But the bankers epitomize unlimited greed coupled with unfathomable doctor evil power and since they are mostly in charge of the playground they make the rules and get dibs on any scheme.  Two of the biggest recent industry acquisitions have been medical insurance and fracking.  Obviously, the insurance is a more traditional banker activity.  Your bought and paid for with free money politicians all close ranks and declare that the sodimizing you are about to receive Is For The Children ( and this mythical voting you place so much faith in is worthless since they ALL voted alike ) and the bankers sit back, collect the premiums and refuse to pay out any actual claims.  Just like their other brainchild, the Mandatory Auto Insurance ( since folks cannot fathom the depths of Turd World-ness they would have to descend to without a motor vehicle, this was the perfect racket.  The medical one is also, threatening people with death if they refuse to pay ).

*

The fracking industry was a foray outside their comfort zone, as it actually required nasty stuff such as inventory and logistics and building stuff, but it was rather masterful.  Its predecessor the ethanol scam was small potatoes, only enriching the banks as far as a few loans for processing plants and mostly rewarding the Big Ag companies who wanted more for surplus grain than the little brown people overseas were paying.  It was just a Corporate Welfare scheme that had the fortunate effect of destabilizing lots of countries we could then send troops into ( although not into Mexico after the Tortilla Revolution-because that would have hindered the CIA’s drug flow and the immigrant flow which helped suppress wages to all those greedy White People that needed enough wages to pay the bankers vig on health insurance ).

*

But fracking?  That was a much better gold mine.  Whhhaaatttt??? I know you are confused.  Even when oil was selling at $100 a barrel, fracking oil lost money.  It is such a low EROI, such bad net energy return, that it makes ethanol look smart.  Every single company involved has lost money from day one.  Hey, so does Microsoft.  It gave away its latest CrapWare for free.  How is it in the top five earners in the economy?  My guess is that the NSA pays them per unit of SpyWare installed, but I could just be paranoid.  But they somehow earn a living.  If from nothing else, selling off stock during the bubble they helped create by losing money ( as Amazon does ). 

*

How did fracking help the bankers?  It isn’t just the perpetual loans as fracking was custom made as its wells dry up in short years and hence new wells must constantly be drilled.  The banks make loans to EVERYONE on everything.  What makes fracking special?  Liquid transportation fuel.  You can use a lot of different methods to create energy for a lot of different uses.  Coal and hydro, nuclear and alternates.  What cannot be substituted is transportation fuel, and in case you haven’t noticed a lot of our economic activity is JUST transport.  We just ship crap along all points and someone makes money at each stop and that is our economy.  Our economy used to be manufacturing.  Now it is just transportation.

*

It doesn’t matter if the fracking industry makes money.  The banks get interest along the whole ride, and when all the companies ( which pay nice salaries meanwhile ) go bankrupt, the bankers aren’t out any real money ( like with the national debt.  It is glittery unicorn fart “money” loans, not real money like gold that is “loaned” out ).  But as a bonus, they created more energy.  While true that our economy cannot function below a minimum of 10 to 1 EROI, we have actually been below that for some time.  That is why the whole thing is imploding and cannibalizing.  What fracking has done is increase the gross amount of transportation fuel.  The energy cost doesn’t matter, nor the end user result ( with diesel pushers, the new “clean” fuel gets less fuel efficiency )  as much as the fleets stay moving, generating the needed economic activity.

*

Yet even at the sweetest drill spots, the fracking industry is having diminishing returns.  Most analysts seem to agree the fracking won’t/can’t last much longer than 2020-2022.  And we can’t seem to interest most other nations to lose money in our stead ( wow, imagine that ), so once domestic sources dry up that will probably be it for any measurable amounts ( I focus primarily on fracking oil, rather than gas.  So I’m not sure about the gas supply-you know, the stuff that generates affordable electricity since all we have left is really dirty coal ).  What will the bankers do to generate the economic activity that keeps all their interest payers in business?  Well, I’d imagine the next victim is going to be the end users of the transportation fuel, the general public.

*

Look at this from the point of view of the Masters Of The Universe.  A company, given fuel, pays interest on hundreds of millions of dollars of loans.  A worker at that company?  Hundreds of thousands.  Who gets priority?  The company ( this assumes a shrinking supply of fuel ).  When your companies have laid off most workers to have the money to pay the banks, ( former ) workers can’t pay their loans anyway.  It doesn’t make sense, except that banks figured out how to make more money with LESS mortgages.  This has been triage for a decade, and individual works were sacrificed long ago.  So when the fuel supply shrinks after the fracking fields run dry, the workers will once again sacrifice.

*

This time, luxuries like driving an automobile, or heating and cooling the whole house will need to be abandoned.  Shrinking resources means someone does without.  All that profitable ethanol means Mexican or Tunisian peasants no longer get as much subsidized grain to eat.  Well, that was all well and good, right?  Until it is YOU who must start to do without.  Plan NOW for unavailable gasoline and extreme hikes in utility prices, because the bankers will be the last man standing.  To think otherwise is, wait for it!-hubris.  And how dangerous is that?  Anyone?

note: well, dammit all to hell!  It was bothering me profusely so I bought a used copy of the movie and watched the scene.  In "The Survivors", I really thought Robin William's character described his assault rifle as Italian when talking to his fiance, trying to get her to see the reason he had turned prepper.  Nope.  No such reference.  I'll eventually watch the rest of the movie, but I doubt I'll run across this perceived memory anywhere else.  Enjoy this moment of me being wrong, as I know you will :)

note: please write down, on pen and paper,  my web site and my e-mail address.  If we are in the wholesale liquidation of ThoughtCrime sites, that may be the only thing keeping me going a little bit longer.  I can't throw money at the problem, so my options are limited.  Write down my name, as I might need to go to Lulu.com if Amazon censors me ( for a weekly newsletter, in case of e-mail censor ).  Hard to tell if this is a hiccup or a purge.  But as you'll read here next week, they are trying to kill us ( White males ) economically first.  Nothing new, we all knew it was coming, but as usual the particulars remain a mystery.
