Evil and It’s Role in the Coming Economic Collapse
Evil is allowing lower desires and selfish materialistic purposes to rule and control us. It is allowing the matter aspect to dominate and take precedence over the spiritual. Evil draws downwards and drives one deeper into materialism.
The servants of evil are characterized by selfishness, ruthlessness, brutal aggression, hatred and cruelty, with motives centered on their own aggrandizement, focused on personal acquisition of possessions, and directed entirely to the attainment of their own pleasure and satisfaction, no matter what the cost to others. The path of evil confines itself to the matter aspect; it lacks the love aspect and omits the higher values of brotherhood, harmlessness and selfless purpose. It is the path of control by form and desire, by self-interest and worldly ambition. These evil characteristics are increasingly evident and clearly dominant at the highest levels of government, finance, the military industrial complex, the legal system and law enforcement, and the mainstream media and entertainment industries.
Christ and antichrist express the dualities of spirituality and materialism, of life and death. The spirit is life and cannot die, while all material forms are transient and come to an end. When a material form has fulfilled the spiritual purpose for which it was created, or when there is no longer any possibility it will do so, life is withdrawn and the form disintegrates. Perhaps the form of the United States has fulfilled its purpose as a brief part of an eons-long divine plan in which its embrace of evil and its consequent failure were necessary to teach us what not to do, or perhaps it was meant to set a positive example but instead has demonstrated it will not fulfill that purpose, and therefore its life must be withdrawn to prevent further damage being done. In either case, it appears the end of its current form is near.
The U.S. was founded on the spiritual values of liberty, equality and honesty, but quickly began its descent into evil. That descent has rapidly accelerated during the last century, until, today, the structures of government and finance are rooted entirely in evil. The country’s original foundations have been removed and replaced with foundations of theft, exploitation, aggression, tyranny and deceit.
Of the many evil activities in which government engages, the institutionalization of theft is most directly responsible for the coming economic upheaval. Government funds its activities through two principle kinds of theft. The first is blatant extortion—tax payments demanded and forcibly collected under threat of harm to those who resist. This form of theft includes the wasted time, effort and money expended in unproductive, compulsory regulatory compliance. Taxation is forced servitude and slavery, which government pretends is for the common good, but any forcibly imposed regime is an evil unity which cannot prevail.
The second form of theft is the stealth tax of inflation, made possible by fiat currency which can be produced in unlimited quantity by those who control it. Government and bankers in collusion gave themselves a license to counterfeit the currency, meaning the currency is unbacked by anything of tangible value, and to spend it into the economy. Government issues IOUs to acquire real goods and services without producing anything of real value, while bankers, under their “fractional reserve” system, loan out counterfeit currency they create with a computer keystroke, and collect fees and interest on what they’ve conjured out of nothing.
Government deficit spending and banker counterfeiting inflate the currency supply far beyond any increase in the real goods and services the currency represents, and as that currency moves into the economy it dilutes the purchasing power of all the currency in existence. Currency inflation results in price inflation, and that lost purchasing power flows into the hands of the counterfeiters—government and bankers—who create and use the new currency first. Consequently, the dollar has lost over 97% of its purchasing power since the Federal Reserve was created and unconstitutionally given control of the currency supply in 1913. It’s this form of theft that is largely responsible for the increasing wealth inequality in our society.
Government and banking systems have consumed ever-increasing amounts of economic output while producing little of value in return. Through taxation and currency debasement they have plundered the country. To distract from their activities and to elicit complicity in them, they have legislated generous “entitlements”, luring a large part of the population into dependence on government handouts. Through propaganda and social conditioning they have carefully nurtured the something-for-nothing mentality until it has become pervasive in our society and has obscured the moral imperative to give equal value for what is received. Today, more than half of U.S. citizens receive stolen wealth through some sort of government redistributive payments, though most recipients probably don’t realize or care to consider where that money comes from, how it is obtained, and what they’re really doing in accepting it. As a further distraction and method of increasing the bankers’ power and wealth, legislation and banking policies were instituted to support easy access to credit and to encourage the public to take on debt and consume more than they produce. The culture of instant gratification of material desires through easy credit has led to a condition where most of society now supports the fraudulent banking system through use of credit cards and other consumer loans, and by using electronic payment systems, again without realizing they’re complicit in their own enslavement and impoverishment.
While much of the population has little or no savings, there is still a segment of society which appears to have considerable wealth in private investment accounts, but that wealth is an illusion. It’s nothing more than numbers on paper or in a computer. Despite the 97% loss in the value of the dollar over the last century, there is much more devaluation soon to come. The goods and services that the numbers in financial accounts are supposed to represent don’t exist; only a small fraction of that savings could be converted into tangible goods before prices would begin to rise uncontrollably in a hyperinflationary event. Such an event might happen if people realize their savings are nothing more than unbacked IOUs, and they begin to rush to convert them into something tangible. At the first hint of that, however, those who control the present system probably will simply erase that paper or electronic wealth through confiscation and/or currency devaluations. Bank bail-in legislation and the drive towards a cashless society are clearly preparatory for doing just that. The only possible resolution to the massive imbalance that has been built up is eventual default on the paper assets and the devaluation of the currency until it fairly represents the real goods and services in existence.
The universal Law of Economy which governs all material forms requires that consumption and production must ultimately balance. Under this Law, when a system becomes unbalanced it weakens. The longer the imbalance persists, the greater the weakness becomes until, if corrective steps aren’t taken, death finally results. A system that becomes severely unbalanced tends to come to a sudden and catastrophic end, rather than going through a gradual decline and quiet death. The current economic system has such a severe imbalance between production and consumption, and between the outstanding currency supply and other paper assets and the real goods they are supposed to represent, that its catastrophic death has become a near certainty. Because the debt is so great and because most of the population willingly supports the evil organisms of government and finance that feed on ever-increasing debt, there is little or no chance of correcting the imbalance without major disruptions in society. The huge imbalances virtually guarantee a sudden and catastrophic reset.
When the rebalancing occurs, the disruptions in the production and transportation of real goods and in the payment methods for those goods are likely to be so severe that many and perhaps most of us will not physically survive. Those who do will have a chance to construct a new society based on spiritual values of honesty, integrity, liberty and goodwill. Perhaps next time humanity will get it right. Perhaps those who survive will finally have learned the lessons of the current failures and will have the will and the awareness to refuse to submit to the evil intent of those who would simply start the same exploitative systems again. It’s through this process of trial and error and of suffering the consequences of our poor decisions that humanity learns and grows.
The recognition of the evil nature of the current structures carries with it the responsibility to cease the willing support of them. There are practical non-aggressive and non-violent steps we can take to do so, and at the same time increase the likelihood we will survive what’s coming so we can contribute to the eventual recovery and the rebuilding of a new society. Much information is readily available about gardening, storage of food and other necessary supplies, self-defense, bug-out preparations and locations, etc., but less attention has been given to two extremely important changes we can make in the way we live our lives today.
First, recognize that the credit system is the means of banker theft and the instrument of their power over us. That power does not exist unless and until we give it to them, and each of us can take it back from them. Do whatever belt tightening is necessary to pay off debts, and don’t take on any new ones. Pay for goods and services with cash whenever possible, keeping the use of credit cards and electronic payment systems to a minimum. Even if credit cards are paid off each month so that interest isn’t being paid, merchants pay and banks receive fees for each transaction, and merchants have to raise prices to recover those fees. Refuse to be complicit in the transfer of wealth to the bankers. With self-discipline we can throw the money changers out of the temple of our own lives.
To further weaken the bankers’ grip, keep money held in banks to the minimum necessary for transactions that must be made through the banking system, and use savings to build up stocks of food and other real goods that will be needed when the credit system breaks down and the transportation of goods is interrupted. Remove investment assets from the stock and bond markets, which have become nothing more than casinos rigged for the benefit of government and banking interests. Many recommend that excess savings be put into physical gold and silver held in your own possession or in a private vault. For thousands of years gold and silver have been demonstrated to be the best form of money for honest exchange of goods and services, since they can’t be created at will by dishonest bankers and politicians. When fiat currencies have failed (and every fiat currency in history has failed) precious metals have always picked up the monetary baton and served as a solid basis for the resumption of honest trade. It’s likely they will do so this time as well.
Secondly, but even more importantly, be honest in dealing with others. Make the effort to give equal value for what is received and to produce as much as is consumed, and be sure that your livelihood is truly beneficial and does no harm to others. Many who are otherwise good people let self-interest supersede this basic aspect of spiritual living. When my last property tax bill was due I asked the county treasurer what would happen if I failed to pay for government “services” I neither want nor use. After she explained the process of forcible eviction from my home and confiscation of my property, I asked if she realized that what she had just described was extortion, which the legal system recognizes as a crime, and yet it’s a primary means by which government funds itself. She smiled and said, “I just collect the money”. She probably otherwise lives her life with consideration for others, but she’s the third most highly paid county employee, with a salary and benefits nearly triple the average for workers in the private sector, and that largesse incentivizes her to ignore the reality that she’s complicit in and benefiting from criminal activity, both under human law and the higher spiritual Laws.
Don’t “just collect the money”, but think about its source, whether others are harmed in obtaining it, and whether it’s truly earned as an honest, voluntarily agreed upon and equitable exchange of value for value.
