P.I.G.S. SLAUGHTER


Okay, I’m writing this Friday at lunch. I don’t know what the markets are going to do this afternoon. And I really don’t care much, except that it would really be cool if the entire global marketplace melted down into a pile of slag. Well, perhaps not that quickly. I still need a few more things to weather the end of the world. But you have to admit it would be pretty cool even if you need more time. A day or a week in the stock market isn’t really something we have to worry about anymore as they are pretty much controlled and manipulated. So there isn’t a lot of reason to place a lot of importance in their performance. I like to cheer as it goes down, Burn, Baby-Burn! But as long as our banking masters have a hand in the process it will fail on their timeframe. Not because a few traders “gamed” the system. The trader myth is just that. I’m not saying that the powers that be actually micromanage the process. I’m saying that all the rules were written by them and they don’t have a clause for a Black Swan By Independents. Here is my history of the banking system and the American Empire and their control over the last sixty years as I like to think it happened. I can’t say for sure because it’s not like I can audit their books or anything. And I certainly don’t have my independent inside source that all good conspiracies count on. I just have my conjecture and paranoia. Take it for what it is worth.

America used to be the number one exporter of oil globally. Oil went as low as 1/40th of an ounce of gold per barrel ( now 1/15th or three times the amount, although in reality oil should be more as gold is artificially held down ) there was so much. Towards the end of WWII, since we were using so much and since we were pretty much supplying most other Allied countries also, we had to start importing some. I believe it was Mexico that supplied us mostly, with a bit of Saudi Arabia thrown in ( I’m not positive however ). Anyway, almost at the end of the war the syphilitic whore FDR met with the king of Saud and they worked out a secret agreement that the desert kingdom would be our bitch. The Saudi Arabian rulers were protected and had a guaranteed market and the US could keep running on cheap oil for a long time to come. Now, no one knew what the meeting was about, but I’m going to guess here. I think that FDR told his new buddy that he should wait around a little bit and the US would demonstrate a new weapon that would assure it of military dominance. A weapon that didn’t rely on so much oil, which the US was seeing decrease even if only slightly, but which replaced dozens of fleets of bombers with one plane. People get themselves all worked up about the unnecessary use of nuclear bombs on Japan. They might even be correct that nukes were overkill, that the firebombing ( minimum civilian casualties half a million- a piker compared to BBQing Jews but a good start eliminating undesirables. And make no mistake, Americans viewed the Japanese as sub-humans ) was enough, that the Japs were already going to surrender. But that misses the whole point, doesn’t it? I can’t believe our leaders cared that an amphibious assault would inflict mass casualties on our troops. I think our leaders viewed our soldiers as expendable parts of a war machine. So, if the “avoid killing our boys” myth and the “they wouldn’t surrender” myth isn’t the real reason we nuked them, what was? We were proving to the world that we were the undisputed masters of all we surveyed. We could protect who we wanted, and we could kill who we wanted. The safest currency was the dollar, and don’t think about messing with our oil. The Soviets were allowed enough spoils to keep them happy ( this leaves aside several arguments such as the Nazi’s development of the nukes, or the likelihood that we gave the Soviets the nuclear plans to create the Cold War to keep us on a “healthy” war economy ).

Now, obviously, this system worked wonderfully. And obviously it has been breaking down for some time. But it has kept us in power long after we had any right to be. We portray Muslims as being fanatics that indiscriminately slaughter. We painted the Soviets as being master manipulators and quite devious. But we beat both those groups at the game. I think the Soviets always knew we were crazy as a crap house rat and would blow the whole world away before we gave any ground on our rule. Look where we are now. Camped out in the middle of the remaining oil pool. We will nuke anyone that messes with our oil. The Saudi’s want to sell exclusively to China or deviate from our master plan? Not a chance. They know we will nuke them and blame the Iranians. It is the same with the financial markets. We control the energy which controls the economy and our control of the markets makes us the profits. But if any country got too uppity, they know we will nuke them and blame someone else for it. You think this is far fetched? So is the idea that 9/11 was the work of two dozen ill trained pilots with box cutters. 9/11 is such an insult to our intelligence ( a building far away from the twin towers untouched by a plane pancakes down hours later, a cruise missile size hole in the Pentagon claiming to be made by a wider jet body/engine ) and yet unquestionably swallowed whole and bought with a salute to the flag.

The PIGS slaughter is our sucking dry the last of the wealth before we collapse. Nothing much more than that. There is no “China the next global superpower” ( try being a superpower in an energy down scenario ). There is no “lack of bond buyers will cause our fall” ( we already have no buyers for our debt except our own government printing up more money ). We are buying time at the expense of others. It is an amusing performance but it isn’t the work of ordinary capitalist market forces. It is the unraveling of a long rigged game. If you apply college economics to the equation you will draw the wrong conclusions.
