As America has an exciting and nervous weekend ahead of Tuesday's national election, we thought a short note on the securitization of the political system is in order. Zero Hedge readers are traders first, analysts second, and armchair intellectuals third. As we explain in Splitting Pennies, the world is not what it seems. What's with all the politics? We are going to answer that. It's not for reasons you may think. It's a business. It was invented originally by the British and during and after WW2 the torch was passed to the Americans. Ask yourself, why do we go to war? Is it because of 'enemies' which are mostly contrived? "Communists" "Terrorists" and now "Coronavirus" are artificial threats created by a cartel of business interests in order to make money. Unfortunately, it's all about money. They have no real belief system, they may pretend to be socialists, as they are doing now - but the progressive agenda proposed by the left is a big rich mans trick. Socialism as they are planning on the left is a theft of assets, not a distribution of assets. They did this before it was called the Soviet Union - most readers here probably don't know - that the Bolshevik revolution was financed right here in New York City. You can read about this in the MUST READ Wall St. and the Bolshevik Revolution. In this well researched blockbuster, author Anthony Sutton details the actual address of where the revolution was planned, financed, and launched: 120 Broadway, New York, New York. Today it's the Equitable building:

In these same walls walked Trotsky, Lenin, and their accomplices before (not after) the Bolshevik revolution. Not only did bankers like William B. Thompson provide money to the Bolsheviks, Americans provided international diplomatic cover (organized by illuminati President Woodrow Wilson, the same President that ushered in the Federal Reserve Act). This is a historical fact. Go ahead and fact check this because unlike current events, there are not armies of trolls deleting evidence and planting their own. That's the value of history, we can speak about it more freely. If we discuss the places and the people involved in today's operations, we can be banned, blocked, sued, or stab ourselves in the back 10 times. Or if we are whistleblowing a CIA operation, 'heart attack' or 'accidental drowning' may be the cause of death - if a Russian op, Novichok.
What the bankers learned from Operation Soviet Union was the power of the NGO. In this case it was the Red Cross. If American troops or Diplomats had went to Russia they would have been shot. But bankers dressed and credentialed like "Doctors" were welcomed. Knowledge gained in this operation was incorporated in future NGOs.
NGOs have no accountability, no oversight, and no sovereignty. They can operate from neutral Switzerland, or from offshore BVI. If the Swiss doesn't like what they are doing, they can press a button and wire billions to the BVI operation. In the shadow banking system, there is no accountability or transparency regarding their activities or the kinds of assets they control. Of course, the CIA uses a similar strategy for global operations, involving front companies like Air America. But the NGO is much more powerful than a front company (shell) because the NGO has a mission: save the planet, end world hunger, help your health! (WHO).
Who gives the WHO authority? Those who pay it's bills. That's why the Elite so much love NGOs and so much hate Trump. Oh, and you get tax breaks! So WHO is funding this WHO? Answer: The US Taxpayer (1) and Bill Gates (2) Source:
What's interesting is Bill's contribution is 100% voluntary - not mandated. You can bet there were 'strings attached.'
What does this have to do with Politics? The political system has been a means to further a Monopolistic agenda and control the population. It's not important what that agenda is. In the case of Gates, he's a transhumanist. What he believes, not what he says or what people mostly believe he believes, is very controversial -but is not the point of this article. But we're not judging, in a politically correct world everyone is entitled to their own view and culture, even if you are a Satan Worshiper (Devils have rights too, right?). The point here is that the political system has been taken over by business interests. Bill's agenda may differ than George's agenda but they are both agendas. Another troubling thing is that they are not open about their agenda, they meet in secret and unless you have a secret decoder ring, or a friend from Yale, you aren't going to know what's going on inside their secret meetings.
Before continuing, there is another important historical fact to mention, and that is the involvement of publicly traded (IBM) and the holocaust. In a very well researched book MUST READ: IBM AND THE HOLOCAUST - author Edwin Black documents a well oiled machine in the form of a JV partnership between IBM and Hitler. And it wasn't just a numbered client, then President of IBM Thomas Watson micromanaged the relationship, and was not only Hitler's personal friend, he was awarded a Nazi medal of honor he kept above his desk for years. Money and machines flowed through proxy shells in Switzerland like clockwork. And much of that flowed back to the employees of IBM who at the time got fat bonuses and other perks. The bottom line was that without IBMs machines, the Nazi regime could not have done the holocaust, nor could they have waged a war with laserlike precision. IBM created a census so unique in the world at the time, it was nearly Artificial Intelligence. This, all before the microprocessor. IBM charged Hitler huge fees, and when the war got dicey, Hitler sacrificed amenities like gourmet food for his people and war casualties (for supplies needed) just to keep the payments to IBM active. Hitler needed IBM and IBM needed Hitler (for profits).
The world has not changed much politically, although now war has become an information war. With nukes, another world war is not likely. Political parties such as the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have been sold to the highest bidder. The Biden evidence proves this. China 'bought' their way into the White House through the corrupt Bidens. The news about the Bidens is shocking but not for the reasons you may think. Hunter's actions are deplorable, but what's worse is that the people running the DNC put Joe Biden on the ticket - knowing that he has been compromised. Billionaire liberal Democrats like George Soros are super smart, and super experienced. Did these all powerful all knowing guys actually think a guy like Biden - who can't even remember the name of the candidate he's running against - could win and also assume office? No. The real candidate in this race is Pelosi or Clinton, not Biden. But their game is destruction, not winning. So they are winning, by destroying buildings and the social fabric of society called culture. Their plan is simple: Destroy the world and rebuild it with their technology.
Impossible Foods is a great Bill Gates example of a future Monopoly in action. Here's how this game works. Impossible Foods makes artificial meat. Through the NGO Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, Bill partners with PETA, Cargill, and others to 'save the planet' by promoting a plant based diet, and more aggressively by actually slaughtering livestock (because they have COVID). What happens to the demand for Impossible Foods? It skyrockets. The company is on fire - in private markets the stock moved from $16 to $35.
So now you get it. Now it makes sense why Billionaires would fund 'socialism' it's because that's a red herring. The real game is Monopoly. But these guys don't play fair - they are the player with all the money, and they are the banker. And if you start to beat them, they will have one of their minions burn one of your hotels on Marvin Gardens to the ground (see actions against Trump).
That's the blue plan - spend Trillions of dollars and those dollars will go right into the Monopoly. Your health, brought to you by Amazon & Microsoft. Isn't it interesting that Bill Gates founded Microsoft, and in 2017 they made a strategic plan to pivot into healthcare, and meanwhile his NGO is funding gain of function Coronavirus research and other things (Frank Plummer) in Canada without any oversight, and WHAM we're hit with a COVID-19 pandemic and guess who is on TV all day (paid advertisements) promoting his vaccines and chip implants?
For now, you can't buy and sell stock in the Democratic or Republican party. But you can buy the company that counts the votes and as Stalin once famously said "He who counts the votes - wins." (paraphrase on Russian translation).
Finally, for all you lawyers out there - look at it like this. Typically, plaintiffs are Democrats and defendants are Republicans, right? So isn't there a moral hazard- an intellectual conflict of interest -- wherein Democrats have an interest to see society buckle, become a tyranny wherein government decides your every move? The complex and unfair regulations in any sector only give plaintiffs attorneys more cases, and give lawyers more work because you need to hire compliance teams to understand regulation.
NGOs are a dark market of private equity. [That uses the political system to achieve their business goals]
As the Panama Papers show, the sheer majority of political figures are linked to dark offshore companies that profit from their actions in office. In most countries, that's illegal - but highly unenforceable. But it's not the politicians who are the problem, it's the players. The politicians are the executives of that shadow system.
Trump represents a sort of IPO of a very dark and opaque market. Obviously, those who profit from the shadow system - hate Trump with a passion. Trump is a passionate nationalist, another trait that Globalists don't like, because strong countries and strong countries weaken the power of a Global superstate, backed by a single global currency. A strong United States can say "NO" to a one world currency - just like the strong British People said "NO" to a European superstate (Brexit).
Proof that his own party hates him - Republicans like Lindsey Graham had this now released evidence on Biden and much more, as early as 2017. He is a truther, being part of the New York crowd that never accepted the official 911 story.
But instead of just coming out and saying it - and arresting people - he's allowing it to drip feed from the ground up (grassroots). Agree or disagree, it is draining the swamp, although not in the way that most have envisioned.
We do have a Democracy in America - not a Republic. That Democracy works on the princip one dollar one vote. So actors like George Soros, Bill Gates, and others - have the voice of a billion people. Trump is on the opposite side of the spectrum, he's a populist, that takes no money from special interests - nor does he have any puppet masters. For better or worse, this election is more like an IPO than a political election. Trump is selling America, Inc. based on his proven track record, the last 4 years.
Even withstanding the entire media is against him (including FOX), people see right through it. The car parades, the excitement, it's electric. The only comparison to Trump is JFK. Trump supporters don't just support him - they love him. He is the elected CEO of America, Inc. which is technically owned by the people (meaning the government).
The paradigm shift that has transpired over the past years is only beginning. As history shows, revolution only replaces dictators with tyrants. Real revolution only comes with knowledge. If any of these 'protestors' who are now mostly paid career protestors & rioters, were serious about what they claim to be serious about - they would read. Gandhi broke the British Empire by walking to the beach. That quiet revolution is happening, and it's a boost for the economy.
Unlike what the consensus trance is saying- we don't believe the outcome of this election is that important. Trump has already won no matter the outcome. As George Bush said - "Fool me once, shame on you - you can't get fooled again." The Russia-hoax was exposed as a total fraud, as was the DNC, and most recently Twitter. George Carlin said that if you introduced honesty into politics the whole system would collapse - that is what Trump has done. He got the ball rolling. Now that the genie is out of the bottle, it can't be put back inside so easily. People have started fact checking the fact checkers.
What happens in the next 10 days is not so interesting as what will happen in 2024. If we are to have a realistic approach, regulations don't work. The reason is that in a Global village, if you have money - you can move shop to Mexico or Brazil or China in a few days or weeks if you have lots of gear. Millions of people can migrate on a whim if they have the resources to do it. Labor laws in the US created the result of corporations moving overseas. Dodd-Frank financial regulations became a tool of Monopoly to quash their small competitors. And based on the ECP exception, if you have $10 Million - regulations don't apply. And of course, the bigger the banks, the bigger the fraud [ Global banks admit guilt in forex probe, fined nearly $6 billion ]. What is the point of an EPA where big money can skirt around rules or buy off state and local officials? There is none.
*For the record, this author is not a Republican. I've always thought that both parties are equally useless. This is not a pro-Trump advertisement. We are not part of the 'alt-right' (another conspiracy created by the left. There is no alt-right).
Massive deregulation makes sense, but it needs to start with the government. The government breaking up a Monopoly is a paradox - the Government itself is the largest Monopoly. According to Julian Assange, when he would contact the State Department about official business (classified cable releases) Google would respond. He said it was impossible to tell where the US Government stopped and Google began. Big Tech can do things in foreign countries that the CIA cannot do. Big Tech is the new Raytheon, Lockheed, Northrop. What used to be 'defense' is now 'Big Tech' i.e. Palantir, Google, Microsoft.
The political system is the glue that keeps this unholy alliance in place. If the power structure of America was a pyramid, that pyramid can only exist by having 4 points as a base; Banking (NYC), Technology (Silicon Valley), Politics (DC), and Culture (Los Angeles). Seeing how these power bases work together, is the first step of unwinding such a system.
Trump's grassroots approach has upended this delicate balance, and most participants simply don't know how to react. For example, he admitted "We're here for the Oil" - is it so hard to say? If Biden came out and said "Yeah, I made millions in China - so what?" the reaction of the Democrats and public in general would be positive. Any American can understand the profit motive. But we loathe snake oil, liars, and corruption.
One of the worst historical examples of American corruption is a Biden-esque mayor "Boss Tweed" a great read up on the history of corruption in the USA. Now the system is digital, but the model is very similar. Take a look at this cartoon:
Private companies like BlueLink (Formerly "Shadow") Dynology, Clearforce, and others - have a conflict of interest because it's like Boss Tweed said "In Counting there is Strength" [for the counter] - call it what you will, it is a real Democracy where one dollar represents one vote. Build a more expensive system and grease up Pentagon lobbyists - and you too can control the outcome of an election.
The problem with Monopoly isn't that it's unfair it's that it doesn't work. Billionaires made $700 Billion post COVID and that's good for them but it's bad for the economy and bad for them in the long run. The reason Soviet Union collapsed was just because a planned economy (or Monopoly) doesn't work given enough time. But if we are to compare modern America and the Soviet Union, America has a welfare system that takes care of the poor many times over more than any other welfare state in history. Food banks, food stamps, tax credits, housing projects, scholarship programs, grants, TANF, unemployment insurance, and thousands of other programs spend billions of dollars every year on nearly 100 Million Americans. What kind of "Socialism" are Bernie Bros really proposing? The answer is clear - it's not Socialism, it's Monopoly disguised as whatever is popular to call it. Call it a 'revolution' Black Lives Matter! #MeToo ! now send me your money. Defund the police! [ Proceeds to go 99% to the Joe Biden for President campaign ]
What's happening now isn't about Trump, it's a reformation of sorts of the corrupt political class. Politics has become a sector to exploit - just like any other. We have commercialized eating (restaurant industry), child care, education, transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, sciences, and even culture. We have commercialized politics, which used to be reserved for the noble and educated, the intelligentsia. Al Gore is a poor genetic underling of Gore Vidal (they are blood cousins). And Hunter Biden is a cliche stereotype of the new generation of trust fund babies, using daddy's connections and money to act like a clown. Again, we're not judging. Everyone has a right to party (so says the Beastie Boys). The point is that let's say Biden wins. It is only logical in a political dynasty to have your children take over when you pass on. Is Hunter Biden going to run in 10 years? We really live in Idiocracy. Is this the IQ level of the new generation?
Again, the point is that Monopoly doesn't work and neither does corruption. Elitism starts out as 'rule by the best' but then it becomes a delicate balance, if you don't diversify the gene pool you end up with Cracksmoking Pedophiles (Hunter Biden) after only a few generations.
Corruption, Elitism, and Monopoly are all unsustainable.
In other words, the Elite are doing a poor job at managing the world, because over generations their IQ and skills diminish, and the more powerful they become, the less likely they are to contribute to lateral thinking- in an effort to increase the IQ of future gene pools. Taking a pill or gene therapy are not going to make you or your children smarter. There is evidence that if you exploit nature in the wrong way there is a natural blowback that creates a cost that far outweighs the benefit. Tesla warned JP Morgan and humanity about this, but it was above their pay grade.
Generational / succession issues plague family offices. It's the same problem we face today; if you are an Emperor, how do your raise your children to rule the world? It's not easy, and not everyone is a Rothschild. Even the Rothschilds deal with problems, they've had suicides and rebels in their midst.
The good news - the next cure for cancer is going to come from the poor slums of the 3rd world, from cities such as Kanpur, India- the city with the 'world's most toxic air' ...
That's where Manindra Agrawal is from, the guy who cracked the code of Prime Numbers "Primes is in P" - it didn't come from MIT, Princeton, or Yale (although all 3 mathematics departments teach it.). Not an anti-American statement, we want to attract guys like this here - through merit based immigration. That's what Trump is proposing and doing - by keeping the criminals and the idiots out. That's what we need. Our gene pool has become dull, and we are becoming victims of our own homogeneity. But in this example, Kanpur might just as well be Swansea, South Carolina.
Innovation and disruption is going to come from small business, not Monopoly and not Google. It's impossible for IBM, Microsoft, and Google to be disruptive. That's why all of them have billion dollar venture funds that back entrepreneurs with ideas.
Ultimately, the political class morphed from a intellectual class, to a status quo tyranny of the minority (special interest) used as a social control mechanism, and Monopoly enterprise enabler. It went from a debate, to a business advertisement. Debates changed from something you might see at a debate club, to a poop throwing contest (Trump didn't stoop so low as to mention Creepy Joe's pedophelia or family drug issues and throw poop back at Joe - but in any poop throwing contest there is no winner, only bad smells).
COVID is a bright example of tyranny of the Monopoly. Small business is crushed. Economic losers who lost their restaurant, barber shop, or local bookstore - were forced to work at Amazon, Microsoft, or for the US Government.
Arguably, the US Government is a security, owned equally by all US Citizens. But that security cannot be traded, so the citizens are demanding a dividend payment to common shareholders. What we are seeing is the IPO of the Republican Party.
