Of The Culture of The Breakaway Civilization

                    In yesterday's blog I discussed how the body politic of the Breakaway Civilization resembles the structure of a secret society.  This has profound implications for the culture of the Breakaway Civilization.  If the Breakaway Civilization is to operate in complete secrecy it would have to be killing or ensuring silence from members that leave the group or threaten its secrecy.  This means that these Breakaway groups have claimed the same sovereignty as a nation state because these groups have power over the life and death of its members.  While it is possible that some members of the Breakaway Civilization are incoherent, narcissistic socio-paths.  It is evident that some of the members could be part of an ancient esoteric tradition that has been passed down for many thousands of years.  In other words, its possible that some members of the Breakaway Civilization are alchemist or magicians that see the world and human beings as having both spiritual and materials qualities.  These alchemist and magicians ,if they exist, do not separate the spiritual from the material and its possible these members are part of secret societies outside of the Breakaway Civilization.  These secret societies outside of the Breakaway Civilization may include esoteric lodges that appeared in Europe and North America in the early 1900s.  Also, some of these secret societies may have been groups of alchemist and magicians that carrying on esoteric traditions going back to ancient times.  While it is uncertain whether or not such groups exist, there is evidence that secret societies may have been carrying on ancient esoteric doctrine.
              Western Esotericism is a movement that has its origins back to the Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean, then it continued into the middle ages and the renaissance period as the works of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers were translated before its emergence from the enlightenment as a "modernist occult" movement, and finally in the early 20th century it became a multi-disciplinary subject in America that encompasses theology, alchemy, and the arts used primarily to study the impact of esotericism on Western culture and religion.  It is important to note the medieval Greeks and Byzantines of South Eastern Europe never lost ancient Greek and Roman tradition, so they would have indeed been able to carry on the esoteric traditions of the ancient Greeks and Romans.  Also, Western Esotericism includes the tribal religions that most of ancient Europe had before the spread of Christianity throughout the early Middle Ages.  Indeed, these esoteric traditions combined with those of ancient of ancient Greece and Rome had a profound impact on Christianity and Western culture.  This subject is often refered to as Western Esotericism and few scholars still study it to this day.  In my view, the "modernist occult movement" is evidence that these ancient esoteric traditions were indeed passed down and perhaps even practiced by secret societies.  While it is unknown whether or not these secret societies influenced or even infiltrated the Breakaway Civilization.  It is safe to hypothesize that at the very least ancient esoteric doctrine may have had an influence on the Breakaway Civilization at one point in time.

Of The Political Economy of The Breakaway Civilization

                     I've written at least two blogs concerning the Breakaway Civilization and it may be helpful for the reader to read those blogs before continuing.  As I mentioned in previous blogs, the Breakaway Civilization relies on stealing money from federal government in the form of the off the books spending on secret space programs and other scientific research.  Also, the Breakaway Civilization uses derivative trading, bailout money, and other means to obtain funds.  However, in order for the Breakaway Civilization to become self sufficient enough to break away from our civilization entirely it will need to generate returns on their secret research projects.  This means that their secret space program would have to become so successful that our civilization would become a multi planet civilization.  Also, the other scientific research the Breakaway Civilization does would become profitable.  It is unknown what this scientific research is or what the agenda is behind it.  It is important to note that the leaders of the Breakaway Civilization may be middle managers for off world executives.  If this is indeed the case it would have profound implications that would explain some of their hidden motives behind their secret projects.  It is difficult to describe the political structure of the Breakaway Civilization due to a lack of information.  One can hypothesize that it is being run like a secret society such as the Illuminati.  I've mentioned in a past blog that it is possible the Breakaway Civilization has been around for hundreds of thousands of years.  If we are dealing with a continuity of these ancient groups and secret societies than one can grasp the possible governance structures of the Breakaway Civilization.  Indeed, much of the body politic would focus on the agendas and testaments of the Cosmic War passed down for thousands of generations.

Of The End of Monetized Debt as a Currency

                     In yesterday's blog I highlighted the problems with monetized debt as money.  Monetized debt as a currency is coming to an end.  The system of monetized debt as money is not going to crash, rather it will slow burn.  Indeed, it is far more profitable for the elites to have the economy in a prolonged cycle of debt than to simply allow a debt crises to occur.  As the economy becomes crippled with debt even the wealth and power of the elites could begin to suffer.  This may force the elites to slowly phase out the idea of monetized debt as a currency.  Debt free money would be difficult to obtain in this economy.  There are several different methods that this feat could be accomplished.  Historically, one of the most succesful ways to increase the supply of debt free money is to establish a mercantilist system in which a country tries to maximize its stores of commodities by exporting more goods and importing less goods.  In the case of America that commodity is the U.S dollar.  The U.S has been the reserve currency since the end of World War 2.  Oil and many other goods are traded between countries using the U.S dollar.  As I pointed out in a previous blog, the U.S dollar is a military backed currency.  In other words, the U.S government is able and willing to send the U.S military to any unprepared nation that challenges the U.S dollars dominance.  Indeed, there are many wealthy countries the U.S government would not dare to invade. 
                The second possibility for debt free money is for a central bank to print money.  This could increase inflation.  A central could issue the currency in two ways.  One is to buy government bonds with currency the central bank prints.  The other is to lend money to some of the largest banks in the country and this money would ultimately not be debt free.  It is important to note that if a central bank prints money to buy government bonds, the interest rate would decrease.  This would result in more lending and maybe speed economic growth.  A central bank may not be able to put an end to monetized debt as a currency. 
               The option for debt free money is simply for ordinary citizens to save money and borrow less.  This does not mean that everyone has to stop borrowing money altogether.  Rather, that saving and investing money productively would result in a return that may counter balance to effects of being burdened with debt.  I will explain more in depth how to do this in later blogs.  Also, I would encourage the readers to use local credit unions to met your banking needs and buy local when possible.  Also, go to a farmers market to meet food needs when it is available.

Of The Problems With Monetized Debt as a Currency

                      Over the last several decades, middle class citizens in western countries have been borrowing an increasing amount of money via credit cards.  While it makes sense to use credit cards to build up your credit score and buy nessities then pay off the balance once you recieve your paycheck.  Some people end up stuck in a cycle of credit card debt and they find it challenging to get out of it.  Most credit cards are revolving accounts.  Which means that a credit card user can pay off some but not all of the balance then use the credit card more.  This feature can be a good thing when credit cards are used wisely.  It is important to note that given the high interest rate on credit cards, it is ill advised to spend much more than two hundred dollars at a time and no less than fifty dollars.  Of course the maximum amount you should spend on a credit card could vary depending on your income. 
               Car loans and morgages have been available for a almost a century.  This has led to an increase in demand for houses and automobiles.  Also, most middle class Americans are in debt.  As the cost of college rises so does the demand for student loans.  The cost of college has risen dramatically in recent years.  Currently, there is over a trillion dollars of student loan debt outstanding in the U.S.  This trend could lead to a boom in human capital or yet another financial crises.  Theoretically, these types of debt can be a good thing given that the borrowers have a steady, middle class job.  As we saw in the 2008 crash people were unable to pay their mortgage due to being laid off in the wake of the reccession.  Forclosures increased dramatically and the big banks and automobile industries had to be bailed out.  Indeed, another debt crises would be disasterous.  This is not to say that debt is always a bad thing.  However, one should be cautious when borrowing.  One way to avoid default on a loan is to have six months of income saved if possible in case of being laid off.  Also, when taking out a student loan one should avoid borrowing more than what is expected to be earned in income the first year after graduation.  In other words, a college student's student loan debt should not exceed his or her yearly income the first year after graduation. 
           Monetized debt also has implications for governments and companies.  As I've mentioned in previous blogs, countries such as the U.S, France, Spain, Italy, and Greece has all burdened themselves with public debt.  This could lead to those countries losing some sovereignty to debtors.  As we saw in the 2012 European Debt Crises, Greece did give up some sovereignty when Germany bailed out Greece on the conditions that Greece's government cut social programs and other government expenditures.  Government borrow money by issuing debt.  Greece has experimented with negative interest rate bonds.  I will explain this more in dept in a later blog.  For the last seven years Itay has had trouble getting its bonds on the market as investors grow weary of high youth unemployment and a lack of fiscal restraint.  It is important to note that the America's debt, treasury bonds, has been considered by far the safest debt in the world with the interest rates on 30 year treasury bonds floating at around three percent.  I do not agree with this assesment by Wall Street.  I think the U.S federal government will soon find it difficult to repary its debt as the total interest the federal government pays on its debt reaches one trillion dollars in the next decade.  Not to mentioned most tax paying citizens are burdened with an increasing amount of debt.  Thus, ordinary citizens will be unable to pay higher taxes to service increasing public debt. 
             In the U.S alone corporations have $6.3 trillion dollars worth of debt on its balance sheets.  As I may have mentioned before, corporations borrow money by issuing bonds available to the general public for purchase.  Also, corporations have the option of issuing shares of stock to fund expansion or research and developement.  However, these corporations have $2.1 trillion dollars in cash available to service this debt.  In the decade since the end of the 2008 recession, corporate profits have risen to record highs while incomes of middle and working class people remain relatively stagnate.  Although, recent job reports suggests that the trend of stagnate wages is reversing as wages have increased by as much as three percent in some months.  These wage increases do not include the wages of executives or other well off individuals.   

Of Brexit

                      As I've mentioned in one of yesterday's blogs, the U.K people voted in a referendum to leave the E.U.  The E.U is both a free trade zone in Europe and a currency union.  The U.K however is not part of the currency union as it uses the pound as its currency.  The U.K's economy has suffered greatly under free trade in the Eurozone.  Theresa May, Prime Minister of the U.K, and her government has failed to negotiate an adequate deal with both the technocrats in Brussels and the Labor Party in the U.K.  Thus, a hard Brexit is her best option.  This means that there will be no deal in place as the U.K leaves the free trade zone with the E.U.  Also, the U.K will be free to repeal E.U imposed regulations.  Currently, E.U regulations make up half of the U.K's laws and economic growth is slowing all the time.  Furthermore, the U.K will be free to negotiate new trade deals with other countries especially developing countries in Asia and Latin America.  Perphaps, the U.K will start granting development loans to developing countries in order to counter China's growing influence.  It is important to note that May has survived two recent no confidence votes by a narrow margin.  Also, her Brexit deal was defeated in a vote by the House of Commons.  Some are suggesting that there needs to be a second referendum to approve the final Brexit deal.  This could prove to be counter productive as it may give the Labor Party an opportunity to draw out their rhetoric against leaving the free trade zone.  In short, a hard Brexit is by far the best option for the U.K at this point.  In the coming months I suspect that other countries such as Italy will have referendums to leave the E.U.  It is important to remember that joining the E.U was a decision made in parliaments throughout Europe not by ordinary people.  In other words, common folk did not have a choice in joining the free trade zone or the currency union formed by the E.U.

Of The Cou D'etat of The Ukraine

                      In 2015 when the pro Russian government in the Ukraine decided not to join the European Union in favor of an alliance with Russia a civil war broke out.  This civil war was between pro Russian seperatist in the east and pro Europeans in the west.  Many of the pro Russian serperatist are ethnic Russian and speak Russian.  The pro Russian government was toppled and replaced by a pro European government.  This was largely an operation by the U.S and Germany.  Also, the pro European government immediately toppled the pro Russian seperatist and falsely accussed Putin of aiding them.  It is important to note that as soon as a pro European regime was installed, Monsanto immediately shipped GMO containing seeds to the Ukraine's ports.  Also, when Crimea voted to join Russia this referendum was deemed a farce by then U.S president Obama.  There's no evidence to suggest that the referendum was illigitament.  Russia annexed Crimea and invested in its agriculture.  This greatly increased ouput and Crimea has some of the best soil in the world.  Crimea supplies war torn Syria and Turkey.  Turkey faces sanctions from western countries for its role in combating the west's agenda in the Middle East.  I will provide more details on this in subsequent blogs.  The Ukraine coup was also an attempt to integrate the Ukriane into NATO.  Also, Germany wants a pipeline going from Germany, through the Ukriane, to Russia.  Natural resources are scarce in Western Europe.                     

Of The Collapse of The European Union

                  In 1999 the European Union (E.U) was founded as a free trade agreement and a currency union to encourage trade and tourism across the continent.  Thus, the Euro was established as a currency to be used amongst E.U members and goods flowed seemlesly between countries.  Since then the free trade agreement has produced winners and losers.  For example, Germany exports manufactured goods to the rest of Europe and America while countries such as the U.K have a weak manufacturing industry.  This trend has increased Germany political clout in the E.U.  In 2012 a number of Southern European countries had a national debt problem.  In Greece the government almost defaulted on its debt.  Germany bailed out Greece, but on the conditions that Greece agree to cut government spending on programs such as welfare.  These government spending cuts only increased social unrest and made the economy even worse.  This led to an increase in the interest rate Greece pays on national debt.  Consequently, Greece's natioanl debt increased and youth unemployment soared upward.  Many citizens in Greece were not even paying taxes and brain drain is on the rise.  Many scientist and other well educated professionals are leaving the country.  Greece's socialist policies created a trap in that once the economy is too dependent on government spending the government cannot cut spending without making the economy worse and causing interest rates on government debt to rise.
             Socialism is wide spread throughout Europe as these countries have welfare programs that go beyond the welfare programs in America.  Also, some countries have the government in conrol over certain industries while the rest of the industries are in the hands of the free market.  Some countries have been smart about these policies while others have failed.  For example, in Sweden the government does not overexten itself the way Greece does ensuring that every program is funded. These programs include pensions; support for the unemployed that includes benefits, job training, retraining and job creation; disability and sickness benefits; health care; parental leave; child allowances; financial assistance for families with disabled children; and decent housing for all.  Unlike in Greece most Swedens pay taxes and due to a stable economy does not experience brain drain.  Sweden restructured its welfare programs in the 1990s.  Thus, promoting fiscal stability.  In 1990s a recession hit Sweden and unemployment was widespread.  Before the recession unemployment was avergining 2 percent and the government frequently had budget surpluses.  Also, poverty and income inequality was low by international standards and still is to this day.  It is important to note that the Swedish government motivation for fiscal and tax reform in the late 1990s was to meet the criteria to join the E.U.  Tax reform largely benefited the wealthy and fiscal reform meant cutting back welfare programs.  In the 1990s globalization was causing jobs to be outsource and imports to compete with domestically produced goods.  Joining the E.U would eventually make these issues worse.  Sweden joined the E.U on Janurary 1st, 1995.  However, despite the influx of imports and increase in outsourcing Sweden's economy has remained relatively stable.
                Greece is not the only European country to experience issues with government debt in 2012.  Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland all have high levels of government debt relative to GDP (Gross Domestic Product).  These countries also have high youth unemployment and the interest rates on government debt in these countries have increased.  Political problems have occured as a result of the economic downturn.  In Italy the Five Star Movement party came to power in 2018 and there was a leadership challenge in Spain the same year.  Recently, in France the Yellow Jacket Movement is incouraging people to protest France's socialist policies and the E.U.  I suspect that given the clout Germany has that Spain and Italy's leadership are quietly talking to each other.  In the summer of 2016 the U.K voted in a referendum to leave the E.U.  Since the referendum May has failed to negotiate a good exit deal with the European Union.  This has caused two unsuccesful no confidence votes and making a hard Brexit likely.  A hard Brexit may be the way to go at this point.  Other countries such as Italy are considering leaving the E.U.
                    As I've mentioned in previous blogs, Europe is being flooded by migrants from the Middle East and North Africa.  Most of these migrants are men between the ages of 18 and 25 claiming to be under 18 so that they can recieve welfare.  It is important to note that some groups of these migrants are practicing Sheria Law amongst their fellow migrants.  This means that they are disobeying the law of the country they migrated to.
