Crime Against Humanity: the Ambiguous Money Cycle – Gold Standard Cycle, 5
Firstly, it may take quite some time before people realise the coins in their hands today are different from those supposedly equivalent in their hands yesterday, to realise those of today are less valuable than those of yesterday, to realise those of today are much more abundant and abused, and so begin to require more of them in exchange. Secondly, all this process can be further slowed down by the inertia, which rather automatically drives people to treat today’s money as yesterday’s even though they’re aware a debasement has occurred, acting much like if they moved to a country where a different language is spoken and they went on using their native language as a leftover reflex to the degree they’re lost in thought. Thirdly, let’s not forget that all this can take place to the degree people will tolerate it, and so that degree of tolerance is a war front; we’ve already seen how Thomas Jefferson supposedly said that when the government fears the people you have liberty, and when the people fear the government you have tyranny, and the willingness of people to tolerate it can be increases by any means, overt or covert, physical or psychological: law, propaganda, abracadabra, violence, you name it.
Next stage is when the moneypulators start to lay the foundations for a whole new order of magnitude of debasement through proxy money. In studied nonsense, the moment they start to introduce something else other than the real thing, at the same time they label it as the real thing: paper money enters the scene, and they label it “Gold Standard”. Paper money slavishly reiterates the course of gold money: fully loaded at the outset, and from there on furtively and incessantly hollowed out until its empty shell collapses on the victims. Now the trick consists of presenting paper money as a proxy for gold at its inception, and from there on making it less and less so, while exploiting the difference between how much people believe it is and how much it actually is during the whole course of the cycle.
