Big Banks and the Government have Colluded to Financially Enslave the People: Worst of the Failing Financial Institutions Will Be Propped Up at Any Cost as the Elites Move the World Toward Global Government

Regulators Build Too-Big-to-Fail Empire

Dominant Social Theme: These Too-Big-Fail corporations and financial firms must be supported by the government and by the people’s taxes.

Free-Market Analysis: It used to be in the US that you were on your own, at least when it came to building a business. If it succeeded, great – if not, then … too bad.

The Daily Bell - But not anymore. Now there are too-big-too-fail companies that are so designated by the US regulatory authorities. These are companies that must be supported by the US taxpayer because if they topple, the system as it is currently positioned will topple, too.

This is merely an expansion of the US ideology of empire, so it can’t be too surprising. But nonetheless it is further unwelcome evidence that the US has in a sene passed the point of no return. Ther tipping point has been reached. The rulers have seized the initiative. The ruled are being despoiled.

The best thing that could happen now would be for the system to essentially disintegrate. It will anyway. Why prolong the agony?

We encourage the toppling … metaphorically, not violently. It is not that we wish havoc for America or the West but we see a real crisis as the only way to move the West toward sanity again and away from the global governance seemingly sought by the elites.

One could argue that chaos is what the elites want – because out of chaos comes order … a New World Order. But the elites, in our view, want chaos that is controlled on their terms.

These dynastic families and their enablers and associates apparently control central banking around the world and want to create global government. They use mercantilism – passing laws and regulations that aid their control – to ensure that events move in a certain direction. We’ve taken to calling this directed history.

The power elite has created the current financial system, in our view, and controls government and regulators as well. They do not want the current system to founder and fail.

But the current system is THEIR system, designed to maximize control and move the world toward global government. The too-big-to-fail approach is basically a dominant social theme.

The elites use these memes to frighten middle classes into giving up power and wealth to specially designed international facilities the elites control. But now they are taking it a step further. Having caused a rolling economic depression in the West, the elites now propound the theme that society as a whole must support its purposefully failing institutions.

The same toxic mix of regulators, central banks and financial firms that created the economic mess are now to conspire together to ensure that the worst of the failing institutions are to be propped up at any cost.

This is, in fact, a kind of communism. It is beyond fascism, even. The state is not merely merging its authority with private enterprise; it is basically taking over these entities in a regulatory way. There shall be a fundamental blurring between regulatory and private market lines.

Of course, one could argue that in the big picture, this is just what was intended. The USSR and the US were apparently purposeful different sides of the dialectic. The USSR was perhaps “taken down” and moved toward a “capitalist” model. Now it is perhaps the turn of the US to move toward a communist one.

The “synthesis” continues preparatory to a greater merger, or so “conspiratorial historians” might argue. What is certainly true is that the US regulatory structure with the consent of Congress is building a kind of communist infrastructure under the noses of the American people. Here’s some more from the article:

There’s a universe of fewer than 50 firms that will get scrutinized more closely in stage two to see if they deserve the dreaded “systemically important” label. The first stage sets out a variety of “quantitative thresholds” that will be used to filter out which firms go on to stage two, where regulators dig into firm specifics. …

Of course “fewer than 50″ is still pretty vague. But some observers believe that one little line in the rule means regulators may have informally started stage two well before the process was finalized.

Regulators spent a total of 18 months creating the process, even though they made very few changes between an October draft and what they approved last week. The firms wouldn’t necessarily know if they’d passed on to stage two yet. Regulators rejected financial industry suggestions that they routinely notify all companies that enter stage two of the process; formal notice is only insured for firms that pass on to the third stage.

The rolling economic depression that is overtaking the West is surely the direct result of the artificial monetary distortions that central banks create every day. Monopoly central banking generates first booms and then busts. That’s because those generating the paper money never know how much is too much.

But this monetary expansion is purposeful. It’s been taking place for a century or more, and the system has expanded to 150 central banks. The idea that those behind the system don’t understand its destructive potential is surely naive.

The system, with its booms and busts, constantly centralizes power … first economic power and now legal power. The new regulations will enshrine certain corporations into existence for perpetuity. But these are the very firms that SHOULD fail. They are part of a much larger financial bubble.

Central banking itself is a bubble, one that has gone “unpopped” for many decades. The too-big-to-fail firms are actually its distribution arm. The whole system needs to be purged, but instead it is being given a regulatory life-support.

Having created these distortions, the powers-that-be now propose to solve the problem by propping up failing entities with the full power of the state. This is supposed to be a “normal” evolution, given the larger state of affairs. We would argue that it is not. It is an elaboration of empire, and a purposeful one.

Unfortunately, the system has been cleverly designed to involve the average citizen in its midst via 401ks, stocks, options and other instruments and pension elements. This involvement makes individuals extremely concerned about the system as it is, and effectively damps a good deal of protest against what otherwise might be conceived as an increasingly unfair financial environment.

Conclusion: All this has been cleverly designed over time in our view. It is hardly an natural evolution. The object is not to salvage the system but to create elitist facilities divorced from the market’s discipline. US citizens are watching, with varying degrees of passivity, as a formal corporate and regulatory elite is created, one with privileges beyond what any democratic society should be forced to endure.
