It is overt that we have been living for almost a century within a financial structure that rests on nothing and which in turn supports and feeds an economic system that has long been highly unsustainable. Fiat money - with no underlying - is an absurdity, a lie that we have decided to make into truth, but which is bound to collapse in the long run. The central banks' maneuvers on interest rates have now become a clumsy way of covering up this mise-en-scene, but by now the blanket is getting shorter and shorter. To make matters worse, the world population is growing rapidly: eight billion people at present. All in a capitalist-consumerist system that induces us to buy, consume rapidly and then repeat a cycle that aims at the continuous growth of nations' turnover and GDP...but to get where? It is clear that the endpoint can only be the implosion of the system itself.

The astonishing aspect is how, across multiple civilizations, we repeat the same cycle as if we discovered how to change the laws of gravity.

we are slow walking to a WWIII scenario. the cold trade based war turns hot once russia exhausts all avenues to defend itself from intransigent US / Nato alliance. A Harris victory would invite state actors to test the US militarily, and bevause of its decline in world influence, the US will use its military to coerce weaker states to fall in line. China and Russia will not do so. Statesmen and politicians have failed us only because they seek to serve their masters who are super-pacs and industrial milirary complex. Internet (X) enables masses to see the deception first hand, and not through the liberal leaning legacy media. The more I follow, the more I feel like I need to take action to protect myself in the event of societal collapse. Beside BTC and Gold, US$ may be the way but at the current rate of printing (inflation), even that seems like a bad trade. . dunno. .
