I think we are in an era that will be seen as the stage between recognizing that government works best as a public utility and realizing the same about banking.

As the executive and regulatory function, government is analogous to a central nervous system, while money and banking, as the value distribution, or at least accounting of value distribution, is analogous to blood and the circulation system.

Both originated out of personal initiatives and so began as forms of private enterprise, yet the consequences of making authority reliant on genetics reached its terminal stage in the period between the French Revolution and World War 1.

The problem this has created is that while politicians are subject to the limitations of elections, banking can plan its interests out over longer terms and gain the upper hand. So now banking is having its own, "Let them eat cake." moment.

With the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia found that when it was invited to the party, it was on the menu and retreated back into a more defensive position.

The problem for the West, being run for the interests of international banking cartels, is that it has all the strategic aptitude of bacteria racing across the petri dish, since the decision making function of government proved inconvenient.

It can only play checkers, where the pieces can only move forward, until they reach the other side of the board and are made kings. Though the reality is more the fate of the bacteria reaching the edge of the petri dish.

Since the function of banking is no longer the efficient transfer of value around the community, for the greater benefit of the community, but to simply dissolve all value into monetary assets that can be siphoned off, it is the equivalent of an economic Ebola virus.

This, in a nutshell, is why we are witnessing such monumental ineptitude in our rapidly disintegrating society and economy, as everyone runs around pointing fingers at the Russians.
