Is there a way that some group could profit or otherwise benefit from tanking the global economy?
At first it looked like the Ponzi derivitive thing was just greed gone wild without regulation. But just a criminal thing.
Now we are seeing actions being taken around the world that appear to be the opposite of what you would do to save the global economy.
Is there some nuclear option being put into play in an economic war between global powers. Perhaps not even national powers, but corporate?
Take the US for instance. Those in power appear to WANT to default. They've stirred up their brown shirts with this propaganda for years, orchestrated by the Koch Brothers and other conservative elements and their propaganda on wheels tours.
Now they appear poised to blame it on the pudding heads they stirred up, even though it was all totally orchestrated.
Could their plan have been not to take power in the national government, but rather destroy the national governments worldwide. With the elimination of nation states, they would be free to operate as they see fit, where they see fit.
This is not just taking place in the US, but worldwide, powerful people appear to be all working towards this goal.
The end of nation states, much like the end of monarchies in the 19th century.
What would you call a system where you are not interested in governing people or taking care of them, but just kicking them out of your way when the need arises, with no one to stop you?
That's not even feudalism. The image I get is of giant robots doing battle over a devastated wasteland, not caring about or even noticing the puny humans they step on.
Corporate Anarchism?
