How can they maintain a strong economic planet, or even a weak one with the mass amounts of money they are spending in bailouts, years of having over 700 military bases in over 140 countries, propping up foreign govts., printing money out of thin air..........

Once the empire falls, will they return to sound money and a sensible foreign policy?

What if they want the empire to fall? But then how would they rule the world?

I think I have the answer........... SLAVERY!


Slavery would be the only way for them to survive, almost the entire depopulated planet would do hard labor for very little, and maybe even wipped. With many elites at the top of course.


Thoughts?

Sorry but your already a slave same as the rest of us.
All the people that have a credit card, hire purchase agreement or mortgage have been lead down a path of bad financial advice.
You are taught that if you have a lot of money then you are happy, and to be happy is great.
Tell you what here's a credit card, you can buy all the stuff you want to make yourself happy, but you have to work to make the payments .
You work long hours, many days a year to pay off this credit card, but in the meantime, you 'borrow' more off of the credit card, which means more of your wages has to go back to the credit card company.
More wages going to them means less going to buy things that make you happy.
You really want to be happy so to make yourself happy you take out another credit card for teh quick fix of being happy by buying something nice.
You then have to pay 2 cards off = less money for you to be happy with.
Then you grow up and buy a home with a mortgage. Your happy again for a short time.
You have a home and 2 cards to pay off . now with the home comes the added responsability of bills to pay for heating, water, maintenance, food.
so you pay for them on the credit cards. , More money to them and less for you to buy happiness.
You have to take another job now just to make ends meet. You start to feel sad because your now classed as poor.
You weren't taught to be poor at school or college , even your friends and family tell you that to be rich is to be happy and to be happy is to be rich.
Your now in the self destrucitve cycle that is slavery. .
You borrow to buy, you owe and you MUST pay, if you have no money then you have a life you can trade.
Welcome to be a wage slave .
Servitude is compulsory. as soon as you have to borrow cash you start paing over the top for it. where will it end?
For some it ends in a car with a tube attached to the exhaust, but you can fight back.Don't borrow , buy in bulk and make it last. don't waste .

I'll tell you a story from my past which will help.

I used to work an a well known UK high street electrical retailer in the last 80's. A woman I knew came in and wanted to buy on Hire purchase, Bearing in mind I was on commission I told her to pay cash as the APR. was 29.9%. The items she wanted added upto about £750 quid . She said she didn't have the money but really wants this item, she was told it was good . I said if it's good it's worth saving up for , come back and pay cash for it.
She still took out the HP. The supposed term was a year to finishing paying off the HP, She came to me 2 years later and said she was paying her monthly payments and still hadnd't started paying the items value off. all she was paying was the interest. .

Its the same today as it was back then. all you do is pay off the interest charged to you by the companies and banks. its a neverending cycle , get off it as soon as you can.
The only way to be truly free is to be dead, but until that time they will take their pound of flesh from your backside unless you pay everything off and actually have an increasing plus figure in your bank account.

little Latin language skills here:

Mortgage is actually made up of two words.
Mort = means "dead" or "death"
Gage = is the latin for "contract" , actually the practice of giving guarantees for a loan.

Mortgage = "the contract of death". It means , in Latin - that you agree to give your life as guarantee for a loan.

So, are you a slave ?

I'd say you are looking at the symptom(slavery) instead of the actual cause(ignorance).

As well - do you really think you are not a slave right now? You ARE. As such, do you think people will know and see any future means of slavery?

And so, how they will do it is by keeping you ignorant to the truth, the same as always. Don't want to be a slave, then wake up to real truth. If you will eat it, then it will be feed to you. Learn how to feed yourself. If you accept what is given to you as truth, then someone is going to be happy to keep giving it to you. But when you actually get your own understandings and quit rely on others to feed you with it - then perhaps you can overcome the condition.

Everytime I see someone say "TLDR", or "That information is too long", or dismisses the information quickly, I see - "I can't feed myself, please cut that into nice pieces I can eat". And so they get reduced to sound bit "pieces" they will eat, and there is an entire industry designed to give you the best tasting "pieces" that you will eat while keeping the entire dinner to themselves.

If you realize it's crap, then feed yourself. Nobody forced you to eat that, you gladly ate it. If you don't want to feed yourself, then you probably won't be biting the hand that feeds you, as you are to that hands mercy. And hey, just make fun of the people who feed themselves, ridicule them for being too "dumb" to have someone do it for them. Seems to work for many.

And so the problem is ignorance, and those who are all too happy to feed it. That is how "they do it". The rest is just the symptoms.

Of course we are all slaves at the moment
but I was thinking more along the lines of egyptian times
when they whiped the egyptians for example

but everyday we aren't moving closer towards an economic crisis
we are moving closer towards slavery

i'm talking about extreme slavery

Actually, those kinds of slaves are a pain to manage. You have to feed them, cloth them, provide medical care and so on. Plus, the chains are visible and you have to spend resources making sure they stay chained/whipped. By allowing them to be free, they are forced to find clothing, housing and food for themselves. They still work the same job, they are still poor as dirt and so on. But the responsibility for their care is no longer on the shoulders of the owner. Because they think they are free and working for the "dream" of a better life, they also work more and are happier and more productive. And if you want to lay them off for awhile - no biggie you don't have to feed them, so you can cut your loses easy. When you need workers again, just hire and those same people will be happy to come back.

The chains you can not see are the hardest to break. Thus why in the bible, the great "deception" comes with economic slavery. Because they are invisible chains. The topic of money changing goes back thousands of years and has been a practice of those in power throughout time. As does the concept of fractional banking.

And sure, if you do well you might get a nicer house, you might get to work as an "inside slave". Heck, in these days you even got slaves working for slaves, managing and policing themselves - happily.

To put everyone in chains would be disastrous for those in charge. It'll never happen. However, for those who do not "go along" with things, that is another story. But they will always keep the majority "free" and happy and those who are imprisoned/enslaved in chains will be only those who are a perceived "drain on society".

It's kinda like the - you are free to do as we tell you too. People go along with the stuff because they think it's good, and as they don't go against it there is no friction. As soon as you try to go against these things, you quickly realize just how unfree you are. Those are the ones who will be persecuted and labeled falsely.

If you wanna go even deeper, just being alive is a form of slavery. As the saying goes - All the devil needed to do was convince man he had to drink, and the rest is history(Something like that, I can't remember the exact wording). Conscious slaves of our own system(vessel/body).

So the slavery has already gotten more extreme. That is the reason the economy is collapsing. Because they are taking much much more from the people. Everytime they print up more money, zing they just stole from the people making the slavery more extreme. And then the banks will foreclose on everything, and buy it back for cheap and then when they own everything, the economy will pick back up where they can resell the stuff on new loans@interest at higher prices and repeat it all over again. No way they are going to give that gravy train up for chains. The chains are only for those who try to buck it. Just like the chains go on tight for the slave who tries to escape.
