“I care not who controls a nation's political affairs, so long as I control her currency”
Purportedly uttered by: Mayer Amschel Rothschild
For a long time, major players in the world economy (most notably the central banks) have been gaming that economy. Early on, they perhaps were gaming it for the benefit of their own various countries. But soon, the knowledge of how to game... fell victim to a sort of “mission creep” and was used to further private aims.
The system just kept getting more and more corrupt. Long story short: the world's economy is now financed by massive debt; that debt has long since passed the threshold of being unsustainable. The major players—the same people, essentially, who brought about this sad outcome—of course are aware of the situation. They know the economy will come crashing down.
They could try to figure out how to get us all through the crash with the minimum amount of damage to all concerned. But, instead, they have taken the path of figuring out how to survive the crash with their own interests mostly unscathed, perhaps even enhanced-- other people be damned.
Their efforts take place on a couple of levels. There are the highly public machinations we can all see—things like tinkering with interest rates. The purpose of such machinations, is to keep juggling the balls in the air for a long enough time that the major players can get their ducks in a row for the long haul... in other words, so they can survive the crash.
But below... or above... those public efforts, private manipulations have continued apace. The purpose of these behind-the-scenes efforts is to make sure that when the crash comes, the major players can quickly pick up the pieces and put a “new normal” in place: a new normal in which they are invulnerable to future major crashes, because they will be able to make (other people's) money appear and disappear when and where “needed”. Those machinations are the subject matter of “The Great Taking”.
Those machinations include—but are not limited to—digital passports, CBDC's (central bank digital currencies) and a drastically altered complex of legal structures (quietly altered over the last few decades) which will make such changes “legal” .
Can the crash be stopped? No.
Can the crash be prevented from turning into a permanent regime of endless exploitation?
Maybe.
