Capitalism requires capital, we have a fractional lending reserves system.

Private banks that print money - then lend it to government at interest, this money comes in to existence and takes value from the money that already exist, hence inflation.

Who knows what damage QE3 is now doing.


For reference: Steve Keen Associate Professor of Economics

You do realise that inflation is not, in itself, necessarily a bad thing?


QE3 will just lower the value of the USD - that will have (it is hoped) a positive impact on the US economy in that its exports will now be more attractive to buyers.


I have a feeling that you would bemoan whatever action they took, as what you really, really want in the collapse of the system. In other words, the original post you made in the "Request for comment: Collapse of the U. S. A." thread was not a prediction.


It was your fervent hope.

Just some interesting factoids regarding Broken America


Donald Rumsfeld admitted to $2.3 trillion missing on September 10, 2001 (the day before 9/11)



September, 11, 2001

World Trade Centre - North and South tower collapse, then a third building collapses building 7 this was much later in the day, the BBC knew of the collapse before it had occurred, about 20 minutes before. I know the BBC are good, but I didn?t know they had psychic ability.



Building 7 housed the security and exchange commission, that at the time was investigating approximately 2000 cases of insider trading, now all dropped as evidence was destroyed in collapse.



I am sorry to say that Americans have lost control of America.

As a newbie to the forum NN, you probably won't be aware of the extensive discussions we've already had on the strengths and weaknesses of fractional reserve banking.


It's possible that you've only just discovered it, that you've read a poor selection of commentaries on it, an extreme set of predictions and are genuinely scared of your life.


Your 'forecasts' can't be proven wrong, because they're one set of extreme outcomes that could be derived from an extraodinary set of extreme coincidences.


The fact is though that the likelihood of your extreme outcome is about as likely as Yellowstone going supervolcano next week, or London getting hit by a 12 km cheese asteroid bearing the name 'Chuckles' on it's side.


In fact the medium term outlook is that US based QE would slowly lead through inflation to a deterioration of the buying power of the US on the world markets (and consequent drop in US living standards) that would coincide with the rise of Asia in line with their populations.


It'll be all very gradual, nothing very scary - and we would be wiser to address the energy crisis and climate change thean copying and pasting demented US teenage panic-fests.

That is just a fairly factual depiction of the fractional reserve banking, with added 'rather concerned' voiceover and s slightly scary soundtrack.


to fractional reserve banking. It comes from a longer vid called 'Money as Debt' which goes on to explain that, not only do banks create money out of debt, but also remove that money from the system on payment of that debt. It's not all one-way creation, you know?

Stop it now NN, you're just copying and pasting silly stuff.


There's no chance of banning money - it's just a means to lubricate the exchange of goods and services.


You can't go running around wailing and screaming about monsters under your bed any more, you're a grown adult.


You need to calm down.

I think you got me wrong, I am all for money and lots of it. I think the system that is coming will deprive me of the value of my money. I am speaking of course of the (SDR)

There's nothing wrong with the SDR, nor is it new.


It's not recent, it's from 1969. It's a system that allows governments to borrow from each other rather than banks.


Americans think borrowing from banks is capitalism, and borrowing from your neighbour is communism. Hence if you read US teenage screamers (which you have been doing, and copying and pasting from them) they keep going on about it as if it's the anti-christ.


The Chinese and the Russians are not out to get you. They need markets for their own products, and they need to import resources. They have no interest in collapsing the global economy.

Just like the British had no interest in collapsing china?s economy, starting in 1839, this was not the British intention but it was the outcome.

The events and context are entirely unrelated NN.


That is such a ridiculous example I really can't be bothered to talk about it.


I can only assure you that you don't have any legendary insight into this situation, and I suspect very little understanding of the dynamics at all. You've been listening to too many panic stricken teenage American boys scared of reds under the beds, and you quote them as if they were intellectual giants.


Your doom laden pronouncements can only be proportioned by putting them in context, something that you resolutely refuse to do.

Yes the context and concept of economic are different, your right about that, however human nature has not changed in 172 years.


We all know wars are pointless in themselves, yet we go on making them. Banks get richer by funding both side, arms dealers and economies get rich by supplying them and Haliburton gets the cleanup job.


"Those Who Forget History Are Doomed to Repeat It"

Sorry I know you don?t like paste jobs.


I am really not an end of the world doomsayer.

I do think the world economy has mortgage itself to far in to the future.

If the banking system and Gordon brown?s shadow banking system opened the books to a proper audit, it would be clear that a debt jubilee is needed.

The Opium Wars? It may have fundamentally changed China's economy in the longer term, perhaps, but 'collapsed'?


And if you mean short term, I would say it *was* the intention. Wars are like that.

Rule Britannia,

It was empire building what, what, when Britten was the biggest drug-dealer in the world, and one of the biggest pimps, selling human flesh it didn?t really own.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Where do you think Wachovia and Wells Fargo & Co (WFC) got the idea to launder $378.4 billion Mexican drugs money into U.S. to support the economy during the 2008 crisis.

Apples do not fall far from the tree.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
