Crime Against Humanity: the Ripple Effect of Inflation

We said that inflation is hidden confiscation. Now that it isn’t that hidden anymore, let’s look more closely into it, paying particular attention this time to a specific facet and to the further consequences it brings about on a vast scale.

In the description of the sixth stage of the ambiguous money cycle above I mentioned the “fraudological” delay between the creation of a new unit of money out of nothing and the people perceiving its putting into circulation and diluting as a result their consideration of the value of each unit. That’s about all, apparently: the fraudulent wealth transfer has taken place, and some of the purchasing power of people has been robbed by moneypulators. Well, now let’s look more closely into that “fraudological” delay.

Once the moneypulators have created money out of nothing, then they decide what to do with it, and their decisions influence the market, that is, the society through its economy. A meaningful facet of the creation of non−existent money out of nothing is, in fact: what can moneypulators do with it, and how? As to what, the answer is: they can have anything someone will accept that counterfeit money in exchange for – and this among other things is a chief reason why their troops are permanently mobilised for the war against cash: the more the scope expands where counterfeit money is accepted, the more they can seize. As to how, the answer is: they can loan it, buy with it, or use it in whatever way that can be contrived and accepted, no matter how difficult to understand – and there you have further forms of seigniorage in the offing, crossing over from secondary to tertiary, the more difficult to understand and detect the better.
So they decide what to do with it by choosing and supporting with that money certain competitors, products, sectors, areas, trends in the market. In doing so, again as I mentioned in the words of Thomas Jefferson, they transfer to those “chosen ones” some of their unbridgeable competitive advantage. They make such choices out of many reasons, ranging from the strategic to the whimsical: The basic strategic reason is the aim of seizing everything and everyone, hence on this basis they choose to control those economic entities, and those activities, they deem most appropriate as their tools to build their oligo−monopolies. At the other extreme, the whimsical reasons are as many and as arbitrary as one can afford, and purchasing power out of nothing is quite a source for that. Somewhere in between another reason is the “short−sighted” dishonesty of some individuals or cliques that just want to line their pockets and to hell with anything else.

Anything influencing the market, the society, the people’s lives out of an unbridgeable competitive advantage, and out of whichever of the above reasons is hardly going to influence them for the better, is it?
It has been called redistributive effect, and not only it transfers wealth from the society and the people, its producers and legitimate owners, to the thieves, but it then empowers the thieves to use that wealth against them.

And looking now more closely into it – hidden confiscation through inflation, redistributive effect and “fraudological” delay – we notice that all this acts as a ripple, producing a ripple effect.
The unbridgeable advantage gets extended, indeed, as a ripple: starting from the moneypulators that create the money and its purchasing power out of nothing, every time a part of that money passes from hand to hand, a proportional share of that advantage is extended to its receiver. On and on, at every passage the ripple advances, granting to the “chosen” an undue advantage made out of the disadvantage it creates to all the others.
Mechanically, it takes place through a series of well known economic dynamics: thanks to the undue extra purchasing power, a “chosen” economic entity, supply side, can secure a higher stake of supplies, and can secure them at lower, unchanged, or even higher unit prices, leaving to its competitors a lower share of supplies at higher unit prices anyway. At the same time, client side, it can sell at lower unit prices, if not even below cost, and secure a higher market share, leaving to competitors a lower market share at forcibly lower unit prices. Moreover, a “chosen” economic entity can harm as well those not in direct competition with it or even not in competition with it at all: for example, the more the television sector absorbs resources and market shares, not only the less people read, but the less people meet and talk to one another as well. Things like that, you get the idea. Either way, the ripple of stolen purchasing power is going to result in market distortion, stealing resources from ethical, needed, useful production to feed non−ethical, harmful, destructive production and monopolistic consolidation. In conclusion, whatever the mechanics and the prices, the advantage enables the “chosen” to acquire control and strangle the others; and the ripple effect is a tool used by moneypulators to lay the foundations of their oligo−monopolies.

This then has obvious repercussions on the quality of our lives, which is but another of the infinite cases of damages that should be double−counted, one for the damage and one for the missed benefit: harmful, poor, non−ethical products instead of needed, useful and ethical ones; and their accumulation that forms the panorama of our lives. This is quite a study in itself, and here I can only point you in that direction: please spend some time and attention observing, understanding and conceiving some of the infinite ways and cases of a bad product ousting a good one. Roughly, they fall into many categories; for instance, you may have resources allocated to producing less products for the few instead of more products for the many, damaging products instead of helpful products, poor products instead of reliable products, useless products instead of useful products, coarse products instead of refined products, etc. And not forgetting how progressive suffocation drowns people into a spiral of wars among the poor in which every attempt to solve a trouble creates further troubles.
Not to mention the basic that the debtor is somewhat owned by the creditor to a certain degree, and the ripple effect also consists of the fact that the moneypulators buy or finance chosen A, which in turn buys or finances chosen B, which in turn… thus building a chain of creditors and debtors whose shape is that of a pyramid, isn’t it?

And then you have the time factor. A specific additional dynamic factor also known as Cantillon Effect, by the name of the economist who pointed it out first.
The ripple effect we’re observing here is motion, and motion is change over time. And the mechanisms mentioned above only make a generic distinction between the “chosen” and the rest, while actually not all “chosen” are equal, but some are “more chosen than others”.
As the ripple passes from chosen hand to chosen hand, the common average consideration of the value of money decreases due to the effects of the ripple itself. Some call them early receivers and late receivers, and the early receivers are those “more equal than others”: the sooner they’re touched by the ripple the better, because the less time there was for the decline in the consideration of value of money as the ripple advances creating inflation. On the contrary, the later they’re touched the worse, because the more time there was for that decline to take its course.

I mean, we’re considering here three distinct facets, roughly. One thing is that creation of purchasing power out of nothing enables the moneypulators to seize everything and everyone. Another thing is that the ripple effect turns the "chosen" bought or financed by the moneypulators into their accomplices to the detriment of the rest of society. Another thing is that the ripple is not constant but it progressively decreases as it advances in space and time due to the inflation it entails, causing a difference among the chosen accomplices themselves, with early receivers being "more chosen" then the late receivers and closer to the top of the pyramid. The crime against Humanity here is the ripple itself and its order of magnitude, with all the transfer of purchasing power and wealth it produces from the robbed to the robbers, and it is useful to understand in detail where exactly each robber is in that pyramid.

I said that the difference between early and late receivers is caused by the inflation occurring during the time interval between their respective moments they become "chosen". Let’s see this in more detail. When a non−ethical competitor on the market has an unbridgeable advantage and wants to use it to dominate the market and create a monopoly, it does so in two phases: first it casts the nets, and then it pulls them in. For greater clarity, I will define the first phase as the ongoing expansion of the "chosen"’s market shares, and the second as the ensuing exploitation of those market shares acquired; as long as there is pressure on their expansion, there is an ongoing phase one.

So the "chosen" competitor receives the unbridgeable advantage of the additional money supply from the moneypulators.
Phase one, casting the nets: Customer side, the "chosen" implements what is commonly known as dumping: it lowers its sales prices and takes market shares from its competitors, compensating the lower income with moneypulators’ money. Customers buy the same products with more money left in their pockets, and this alters the money to product ratio towards inflation. Supplier side, the chosen competes for greater shares of supplies, altering the supply and demand ratio, so the suppliers increase their prices, and the chosen pays the extra cost with moneypulators’ money. Suppliers sell the same products for more money left in their pockets, and this too alters the money to product ratio towards inflation. One way or another, the moneypulators’ money out of nothing finds its way into circulation in society at a certain speed, and whatever concealment can only slow down the speed at which people feel the value of money gets watered−down.
Phase two, pulling in the nets: The "chosen" begins to enjoy market dominance, while its competitors weaken and wither. Customer side, it reverses from lower prices to raising prices. Customers buy the same products with less money left in their pockets, and this alters the money to product ratio towards deflation and stagnation. Supplier side, the decreased demand from its weakened competitors and the chosen’s market dominance both allow it to dictate lower prices. Suppliers sell the same products for less money left in their pockets, and this too alters the money to product ratio towards deflation and stagnation.

It could be said that part of the harm from the monopolist chosen is inflation in phase one and deflation and stagnation in phase two. And that the ripple effect described here takes place in phase one. Now, when and why does the chosen, the would−be monopolist, shift from phase one to phase two, if ever? When its craving for monopoly is either satisfied or impeded. Particularly when it runs out of petrol.
If the unbridgeable advantage of the chosen were finite, it may end before achieving market dominance. Not so when the chosen is bought or financed by the moneypulators: if the source of its unbridgeable advantage is infinite, the duration of its phase one can be infinite, too.

If there are moneypulators who can create purchasing power out of nothing in their own pockets indefinitely, there will be a pyramid of "chosen" accomplices acting in phase one indefinitely, and a ripple effect extending indefinitely in space and time beyond single ripples or groups of ripples in a global downward spiral, where ripples are hardly isolated, but rather continuous. And indeed moneypulators’ creation of purchasing power out of nothing is not just a one−off but a permanent, continuous activity. Hence you do not have a mere one−off ripple and ripple effect, but rather a continuous wave motion of ripple effects, if not a permanent smooth flood tide whose surface is barely ruffled, but whose flow rate is drowning us all and preparing the final disaster that will wipe us all away, as the incessant ripples gnaw at the coastline sand first, and then at the ground below. Gutta cavat lapidem: water hollows stone.
And in the meantime, the study of all these inner mechanisms is no reason to forget that all those who are neither early receivers nor late receivers, but the vast majority of the deprived, go on paying the whole price anyway, while unaware of being ultimately doomed as well. From the frying pan to the fire. Blindfolded.

Because all that, not so hidden anymore to us, remains quite hidden to the people out there, kept locked away from these workings by many strata of ignorance, code of silence, distraction, deception, misleading, diversions, red herring, disinformation, and authoritarianism. The more moneypulation there is, the more all that is to the interest of moneypulators to remain invisible and undetected, while people is sent barking up any sort of wrong trees, possibly in divergent groups at odds with each other.
Hence the proliferation of “authorities” and “public opinions”, of “everybody knows that”, blaming “rising prices” and “inflation” on whatever social group is easy and in fashion to blame, be them corrupt governments, greedy capitalists, good−for−nothing workers, ruthless speculators, wild−spending customers, or the sect of the merry wild goose chasers. An entire forest of wrong trees to bark up at, all to ourselves.
And here we begin to understand the smokescreen role of subjects like politicians and their endless quarrels. But as to this politicians are little more than an example. How about the good faith of politicians and economists that promote inflation while they’re quite busy turning a blind eye to the redistributive ripple effect – last but not least among the many facets of monetary sovereignty usurped by moneypulators? We’ll come back to that later on, but you may already start now to ask yourself what to think of those “authorities”. And how passing off inflation, or whatever moneypulation for that matter, as a good thing is easy for them to the degree we can’t see its real long term effects.

Even more so in view of a crucial facet of those long term effects: the progressive usurpation by moneypulators of wholesale, global sovereignty, of sovereignty in itself and as itself. I’ll discuss that ahead but, since sovereignty is safety, wealth and freedom and it belongs to you, since its usurpation is perpetrated by usurping monetary sovereignty and creating odious debt, and since all that is only feasible with the connivance of politicians and “authorities”, I invite you to observe them from this point of view as of now.
