We are linear, goal oriented creatures in a cyclical, reciprocal, feedback generated reality.
Once this particular feedback loop started, in the aftermath of World War 2, nothing could stop it, other than destroying itself.
Protesters and Julian Assange were not going to stop it, not matter how brazen the corruption became.
Now the house of cards has finally started to crumble and stopping it happening again will not be about just clearing out the parasites, because they will come back, if the underlaying dynamic remains.
What drove this process is that money functions as a social contract, enabling large societies, but we see it as a commodity, to mine from society, to save and store.
Since the asset is backed by the debt, our illusion of enormous notational wealth requires the debt to back it and government borrowing is fundamental to the capital markets. They couldn't function, without the government borrowing up trillions in surplus investment money. The wars are just a burn pit, so more can be borrowed.
We are going to have to understand that money, as a medium of exchange, is a public utility. We own it like we own the section of road we are using, or the air and water flowing through our bodies.
It is not a store of value. Blood is a medium, fat is a store. Roads are a medium, parking lots are a store. They shouldn't be confused.
As the executive and regulatory function of society, government is analogous to the central nervous system, while money and banking are analogous to blood and the circulation system.
Long story short, but the private banking system is having its, "Let them eat cake." moment.
