With public government and private banking, the banks rule and that will become ever more evident.

As executive and regulatory function, government is analogous to the nervous system, while money and banking are like blood and the circulation system.

Currently the banks are having their," Let them eat cake." moment.

Everything else, from the media prostitution, to the military misadventures, are effects of this system imploding.

When the medium enabling markets is privately held, we are all tenant farmers to the banks. We have to wrap our minds around the fact that money and its circulation is a most basic form of public utility.

As a medium, we own money like we own the air and water flowing through our bodies. It is a medium, not a store. Blood is a medium, while fat is a store. The only way to store it, is to incur a debt to back the asset side of the ledger. The secret sauce of capitalism is public debt backing private wealth. So the only real job the flunkies allowed in office have, is creating that debt.

If excess money was taxed out, not just borrowed, people would quickly find other, far more healthy ways to store value.

We save for many of the same reasons, so the concept of the commons is the logical direction to go, but that would mean a society based around social responsibility, with rights as reward, not universal rights, with responsibility being punishment for those left holding the bag. Otherwise it is the Tragedy of the Commons, as everyone has rights to everything, but no one is responsible.

Now everyone is burrowed into their personal cocoons, with their bank account as economic umbilical cord.

The fact is, this system has reached the end of its rope, so either we go back to some form of feudalism, with ever more primal war parties in charge, or we move forward.
