The Money Game and the New World
by Jon Rappoport
The people on this planet who run the money game at high levels have managed to put themselves into a hole. In retrospect, it was inevitable it would happen. If money is simultaneously defined as payment for work AND whatever the moneymen want to invent hot off the printing press, a clash is going to occur.
As a rough analogy, consider this: you own an apple orchard and you sell apples. Business is good. So you decide to FABRICATE apples. Why not? The more apples you sell, the more you make. You print pictures of apples and you call them apples and you put stacks of these pictures on trucks and ship them to market. Lo and behold, people keep paying you for the apples. On and on this goes, until one day rumors begin to set the ground trembling: most of your apples are just photos of apples.
BUT….this is the interesting part. As a forger of apples, you DO know something about abundance. Your own. You do know how to work this little magic trick and make money appear in your bank account. Lots of it. So even as the rumors about your business expand and people wake up, even as you start to face the music, you have a kind of facility about abundance.
IF ONLY YOU COULD TURN YOUR EFFORTS IN THE DIRECTION OF ABUNDANCE FOR EVERYBODY.
Well, that’s where the moneymen are right now. That’s exactly where they are. At that crossroad. With possible choices.
No matter how many investigations are done and no matter how many (or few) of them are put in jail (for short sentences), the moneymen are not going to tear down their institutions and go away. They didn’t go away during the Depression of the 1930s. They didn’t go away during the S&L crisis. They keep on keeping on. But it’s getting harder, because what they have to invent now, to hide what they’ve ALREADY invented and in order to keep their ship afloat, becomes more and more ridiculous and weird and obvious.
They don’t need just another solution. They need a different KIND of solution. And suppose such a new direction could keep making money for them? Suppose they have a way out that stops harming large numbers of people and, instead, helps all people? And they still make money?
Is there something intrinsically impossible about this idea?
No.
The core change is change in their state of mind. They get what they want, but they stop playing in the Old World. They stop thinking about abundance just for themselves, and they start thinking about abundance for everybody.
We’re talking about uncharted waters here. It’s never been done before, in the Old World.
Another analogy: Suppose certain mega-corporations, who, worldwide, are operating their sales divisions on a basis of about 1.5 billion people who can afford to buy their goods, who are therefore running their assembly lines at half-capacity, decide to shift direction. From now on, they’ll focus on selling, AT VERY LOW COST, the essentials of survival—(nutritious) food, clothing, and shelter to anyone who wants them—therefore gradually expanding their consumer base to 7 billion people. What happens then? The corporations add to universal abundance and make more money than they did before.
What could the moneymen do along that line?
What would their new plan look like?
I don’t have a pat formula, but I do know these people are clever. I’m sure they could come up with something.
Point is, they need the New World. They need it like crazy. Now.
Instead of manipulating booms and busts, up cycles and down cycles, instead of using devious methods to make people go broke, instead of cheating and lying on behalf of their (abundant) power, they need another state of mind.
Even as they sit at the top of the money pyramid, they are INTERNALLY obsessed with dealing with crises and coming up with new plans and answers—all of them deceptive and dangerous. They appear to live for that, just like a Vegas high-roller lives for the adrenaline rush at the tables. All in all, it’s pathetic, because they’ve already won. They’re kings. And that may be the problem. They can’t stand success. They can’t just bet a pat hand that’s a winner. They have to get more, and still more, and they have to dangle off the edge of a cliff as they’re doing it. They can’t see past that.
Well, there IS a new world, and it’s coming into being. They can ignore that and pretend we’re still living in the dog-eat-dog reality and will continue to do so forever—or they can stop and think. They need to stop and think because their craziness is catching up to them. As Bucky Fuller once implied, more and more people are seeing that the world we live in can easily be based on abundance for everybody.
The moneymen may be the last ones to admit it, but they need us. And I mean by us, those of us who can use our imaginations to conceive of a much better world. Not a “New World Order.”
Most of us are convinced that the moneymen will keep playing their destructive operations forever and will remain the grand manipulators forever. But this current crisis is not all conscious manipulation on their part. Some of it is their own failure to deal with the implications of their own schemes. Some of it is backfire.
Think of it this way: a cheat at cards can keep cheating and make more and more elaborate moves to cover his past cheating—but eventually he gets himself into a very tight spot.
The kind of maneuvering these moneymen need to do to put the whole world under their financial umbrella as One System…leaves them exposed to all sorts of rebellion and trouble. The taxes, for example, they need to levy become more and more intolerable. As investment markets become more and more dangerous, the average investor backs away and decides the danger isn’t worth it—and the moneymen need these average investors as fodder…otherwise, the elites are just buying and selling among themselves.
So by the very nature of what they’re doing, they are getting blowback and backfire, and this forces them to consider alternative plans. All I am saying is this: they can still make money, but they can turn their minds to the task of treating ABUNDANCE as universal instead of their own private preserve. It’s a way out for them. And if they embark on this new path of universality, they will connect with what the world is becoming: the New World—-freedom regained, imagination freer than it has ever been, whole new thrilling futures, tremendous creative power.
It may seem very unlikely or impossible, but in fact it is within their reach, just as it is within our reach.
The New World.
