current collapse 2

CURRENT COLLAPSE 2

Yesterday I went on about the subconscious warning signal, the Lizard Brain, signaling that the end was nigh economically.  I don’t just hone in on that particular aspect because I like studying economics.  Like many other studies I’ve undertaken as an excuse to read and daydream, that subject fell out of favor a couple of decades ago.  I oversaturated and withdrew my interest.  I continued to dabble but once it was clear the economy was controlled and manipulated it was hard to care much anymore.  Why study theory and indicators if it is all a lie, a pony show?

*

That doesn’t mean economics aren’t important.  Of course it is.  Mainly because the first sector to get into trouble in the last stages of decline is finances.  And since we all know what comes right after the decline is collapse, this is a subject demanding our attention.  Even if mostly we are dealing with an iceberg, only a portion of it above water for us to actually see.  And while I’ve been almost exclusively focused on resources and energy, because they underpin economics, without economic manipulation the resources cannot be extracted.  A perfect example is the fracking industry.

*

I won’t go too far into that as it needs little explanation.  What I’d like to do is compare fracking to coal liquidification.  Both Nazi Germany and Apartheid South Africa used the method, not because it is a good idea but because they had no choice.  They had to both be energy independent, for different reasons.  Simply, you get a negative EROI, net energy, from the process.  It isn’t economic.  But it is strategic, isn’t it?  And so it is with fracking oil.  Which MIGHT get a positive net energy, but perhaps not.  Propaganda isn’t very factual.

*

Fracking was meant to keep consumers on the road ( even new consumers from south of the border.  Welfare spending is still consuming.  Pay attention to the moving ball ) so they could keep the economy moving.  Even if the cars have to come from Japan, the drivers still needed to buy Chinese crap.  Fracking was also a sleeping pill.  As long as the SUV’s were rolling into Target and Wal-Mart, and no gas lines formed on alternate plate number days, no one had any reason to panic over 35% unemployment.  It didn’t matter if the Deep State subsidized the fuel.

*

Just like “foreign investors” bought all our debt through CIA bank accounts in the Bahama’s, so too do “investors” keep buying money losing fracking company stock.  Of course, I don’t actually know.  I’m guessing.  It could innocently be Illinois state pension funds bankrolling all the frackers.  But the guess does kind of matter.  It is the difference between fracking stopping suddenly as investors pulling out in panic, or the funding continuing right up until complete depletion.  But I don’t believe “manipulation” because I’m optimistic but rather because I’m cynical.  It is only a short term can kicking after all.

*

Do you believe most of the globes central banks ( to include China’s, but the difference is that China’s bank doesn’t run their country like ours does ) are in control and manipulating the derivatives market?  I do.  And I’m sure it is just as high as assumed at the quadrillion dollars ( insert Dr. Evil smirk ) reported.  JP Morgan has been using billions in derivatives to manipulate hundreds of millions in silver ( then used the manipulated low numbers to stockpile the physical metal ).  Derivatives and fracking oil manipulation have kept up the economic illusion. 

*

Using the economies financial infrastructure, fracking oil was magically created.  The failing economy injected actual energy into the system to save the economy, and even if that energy took high energy oil to create multiple units of lower energy oil, it was still enough to keep the wheels on the track for now.  Of course, with all that fracking oil, diesel took a giant hit as we have just discussed.  Which places pressure on supplying the Chinese crap consumers buy from their fracking gas cars.  But one crisis at a time for our benevolent Overlords.

*

I could go on and on about economic examples, but I think I’ve touched on enough to give you the idea.  Economics now matter more than ever because with the resource growth gone there is now no more surplus energy which all economies depend on.  We have already liquefied the coal reserves, as it were, and they are getting dangerously low.  If we still had plenty of energy, it wouldn’t matter that the globe is far into the process of rejecting the dollar.  Before, we didn’t have enough oil but we had the PetroDollar.  Now we have neither, which explains the panic trying to sell Fracking Energy Independence.

*

Financial panic used to be papered over with more debt, until we couldn’t do that anymore.  Now we are going to run out of substitute oil.  That is why for the last few years you have seen the Everything Bubble, the last desperate attempt to buy some more time.  And now everything everywhere is endangering that bubble.  My fear is that once that pops, all the stimulus and manipulation fail and suddenly nothing else is keeping the rusted grinding machine turning.  Just like in Africa in the Congo, resources underground cannot be extracted in the war zone.

*

I’m not claiming that there is all that much left underground, believe me.  After twenty-five years of globalization that needed excessive resources to function, we are nearing the end of that treasure trove.  Keep in mind that all the ore and energy in that time completely built up China from almost nothing, AND kept the American and European consumers wallowing in disposable luxury.  If the US reached Peak Iron Ore in the 1950’s from one really big war and building an industrial economy, translate that globally after China.  Drill, Baby, Drill does not work unless there is actually oil there.

*

I contend that only borrowed money with low interest rates are providing the Liar Loans to most resource extraction industries, as well as most other sectors of the economy which are only subsidized to have any jobs left.  To me, nothing can come after this, because energy and almost every other industry is losing money AND losing net energy in the last grasp surviving off stripping the copper out of the walls.  We like to think that our Supreme Overlords will loot the economy and move on as always in the past, but if the economy is global, how does that happen?

*

China and Russia are the two main countries left not under the control of the private Rothschild’s bank, but if they don’t allow native born oligarchs to control the country, how can our central bankers flee there?  And those two countries are just as busy extracting and using energy to survive.  Russia already Peak Oil’ed in Siberia, and they don’t live over a hollow earth filled with petroleum.  And China only has so much coal.  I think the Powers That Be know they are stuck in the mess they created and are fighting valiantly to push the collapse past their own funeral date. 

*

But that is part of the problem, isn’t it?  That requires stupid decisions and desperate measures.  Or, rather, is HAS required that.  Don’t mistake the past can kicking for future success, as too many decisions already made far before we were aware which as we speak are colliding into the Perfect Storm.  For all we know, the desperate population growth from immigration let in a LOT more people than we are aware, AND we could be producing less food than is claimed.  Even now, years into drought and suburban building, some fools still claim California continues to be an agricultural juggernaut.

*

If population has already far surpassed resources and only economic magic kept pace, what happens when the economy tanks?  If only half of what statistics claim is false, we’ve already been in negative growth for years, the debt is far worse than admitted and we are much closer to the economic cliff than thought.  If they only admit to 10% of the unemployment, think how much worse ALL the other statistics lie.  ALL this is swirling around in my Lizard Brain, and I can’t be alone in this.  Optimism is merely lack of pain up until present.

*

But your Lizard Brain doesn’t buy into the happy touchy feely glittery unicorn crap.  He has one job, and unlike most people’s conscious brains, he can actually do that one thing.  Since he is outside the control of the Social Brain everyone uses, he cannot be tricked or manipulated.  He is like the Terminator Brain.  He won’t stop.  How good is he?  He is ignoring all the white noise about Trump and Hillary, Fracking Fags, Can’t We All Just Get Along Diversity BS, and everything else the puppet masters are throwing at us.

*

He smells smoke, and he knows there is fire.  It has never been stronger and perfume or bullcrap can’t mask the stench.  You, of course, ignore at your peril.
