today i want to look at how the global economy will collapse specifically how the u.s economy will collapse because of this war now the argument i want to make to you today is that financial collapse do not happen accidentally or naturally it has to be engineered and this is a very hard concept for us to understand okay so uh in economics there's something called the boom bus cycle which basically states that in capitalism you have um the economy booming then suddenly for whatever reason it collapses okay it's called a boom bus cycle and the idea is that if you study economics they teach you that this is just a natural part of capitalism because in good times people spend too much money they become overconfident and so then they waste a lot of money and then it collapses the economy turns bad and so you have to focus on being more lean and efficient

and resilient so think of you know gaining weight okay you gain too much weight and then you feel bad so then you lose weight and that's the idea of um the boom bicycle the problem though is that no one can explain properly how and why suddenly the bubble pops okay what's the mechanism or trigger for the collapse if you study economics you will never ever know the answer so we are going to focus on speculation today Okay, so again, the internet knows this, but I've never studied economics. I don't know much about economics, but I'm curious as to why this happens, okay? Why is it that bubbles pop? How do economies rise and fall, okay? So I'm not an expert, I'm not even a professor. Yes, I understand. But what I do is I engage in speculation for fun, for entertainment, okay? So just see this as a fun class where we're gonna explore some fun topics that have no scholarly basis, okay?

All right, so just keep this in mind, guys. All right, so let's look at, very quickly, the main explanation for why booms and buzz happens. And this is from Andrew Ross Salkin, who is probably the most influential financial journalist in America. And he wrote a book called 1929, which looks at the stock market collapse of 1929, and he offers a very good explanation as to why it happened, okay? So, Amber, could you read for me, please? Of course.

Lengthy, uninterrupted booms, like the one in the 1920s, produce a collective delusion. Optimism becomes a drug or a religion or some combination of both. People lose their ability to calculate risk and distinguish between good ideas and bad ones.

Okay, so again, this is a science book. It's a set explanation for why there's a bubble burst, because it's delusional, and then it's like you fly too high, okay? But you're not supposed to fly, so then you fall down to the ground, eventually. It's just gravity, okay, the idea of gravity. But what I want to show you today is, there's actually another explanation, which is this is all being engineered. There are people behind the scenes who have the power to cause economies to rise, and to fall, okay? So let me give you an example of this. All right, let's just say you're a bank, all right? You're a bank, and your job is to take those money, save it, and then use it properly in order to promote the economy, okay? So let's just say we put a million dollars into the bank, okay, and what does the bank do with it? The bank then lets it out to entrepreneurs, right?

- Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbowBTJWKBo&t=273s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbowBTJWKBo&t=273s)

So maybe I want to start a restaurant. And so I borrow a million dollars from the bank, okay? Question, how much money is in the bank now? It's gonna be zero, right? Okay, that's just math, guys. Look, if I take in a million dollars, and I lend it out a million dollars, I should have zero, because that's just basic math. But that's not the answer. The actual answer is two million dollars. And what you need to understand is that each bank has the ability to print from the bank, and there's a super -assist. its own money and the bank is a mechanism for liquidity in the economy okay and this is a great illusion like this is a delusion okay behind the economy where money is just a cop is just an idea it's a concept it's a collective hallucination all right um now but the problem is there

are thousands tens of thousands of banks everywhere so how do they know how to coordinate together okay and this is something else you need to understand about the system there's actually something called signaling mechanism signaling mechanism okay um so all these things are separate but they are linked together into something called a central bank okay central bank and what the central bank central bank do the central bank signals whether or not to lend money or not to lend money and this mechanism is called the interest rate now again if you study economics what they will teach you is that depending on the interest rate if it's low maybe 1 % or 5 % or high 5 % then that would determine how consumers behave if the interest rate is 1 % what this means is I can go to the bank get money and buy a house right if it's too high for 5 %

then I don't want a little bank to buy a house and this is what you're taught in an economics class but there's actually another explanation which is the interest rate is not to signal consumers or homeowners to buy but rather for banks to lend or not it doesn't make sense because the banks what they can do is depending on the interest rate they know that okay my job is to release more liquidity into the system release more money into the system and therefore I can make it easier to take out a loan okay but if the interest rate is high then I know okay I must not release too much liquidity in the system therefore I will make the loan application hard okay so in other words the interest rate is not it is not set in order to guide consumer behavior it is set in order to coordinate liquidity in the marketplace okay doesn't

make sense okay so these are two very curious aspects of this system that people don't really understand so in order to understand the system I will explain to you how the world works okay and I explained this before but I want to summarize and apply it to this scenario okay so the first thing to understand is that we live in Plato's cave okay meaning that we're all chained to the floor and we're all watching a screen and behind is this great fire where the world now takes place you know quite clearly in the mercado Má부터它的hydro acab combustion of water from the ground to water and from there over and over you know the cars have BMW cars and electric vehicles right the wind is blowing the roof free carrera there may be time and here's the problem the problem is that the routine yıl já está ficando his cabeza do you realize that is not

valid okay the value of ability is not there to date here's the bad thing that he's seen throughout the world he knows that we remember this idea and keep this in mind okay so because of this concept this allows us to create the world that we live in today okay so remember how the world is structured um you have the empire but then you have the game masters who are the game masters the people in finance okay this includes bank of international settlements uh world bank uh international monetary fund uh wall street sea of london okay these are different financial organizations that coordinate together and they are the game masters and what they do is they control how us dollars which is the currency of this game they control how us dollars um moves around the system okay so usd and this creates of course the global economy but you cannot allow people to think

that they're actually a set of people manipulating this game because people think this is not fair it's not transparent right it's and it's not a clean game so what you do is you create multilateral organizations called the rules based in actual order like the wto un and you make them believe that oh it's these impartial organizations that actually control the game so it's fair and it's transparent it's a it's a fair and it's transparent and it's accountable to the people okay and then you reinforce this using media um education and culture and together these three will um create the values and norms that make us believe that this is a fair open and transparent game in which we can all win okay so that when there's a collapse it's not because there are people engineering this collapse behind the scenes it's because it's a lot of gravity this just happens naturally in this game it's

no one's fault it's just like we were too lazy and corrupt okay all right so certain things to remember about the system is that this system is not as clean as you think because there are opposing forces to it all right and these opposing forces are such forces such as nationalism okay or ethnic identity then you have social democracy individual rights right and then of course you have religion all right so there are these countervailing forces that try to break apart the system so then what happens is that there are other um systems that keep the system in place and respond to these countervailing forces all right and they are intelligence spies basically crime and science and behind the scenes they are the people who control the system okay so the first and the last set of these three forces are three sets of powerful institutions okay these are transnational capital um secret societies and

the last is elite families okay some people call some people call them the uh illuminati okay it doesn't matter all right so this is how the world works and underpinning uh this elite is something called the occult which we'll study later on okay so certain things that stand out about the system that you may notice is hey guys look transnational capital is also the game masters as well as the global economy okay this is important because remember this system is the parasite and this system is a host so transnational capital is both the parasite as well as the host it's both the game master as well as the player okay so this obviously leads a lot of corruption so then the question then is how do we get this system where the system come from so so let me go into some history okay so the year is 1688 and this one is and in

Britain that's been called the glorious revolution think of the glorious revolution as a marriage between two empires the British Empire and the British Empire and the Dutch Republic okay England and the Republic at this point in history 1688 the Dutch Republic is the richest area of the world because it controls the spice trade in this time in history spice is the most valuable commodity the problem the Dutch Republic is that it cannot defend itself in Europe okay it's easy it's easily invaded it's also Protestant so so and they are being attacked by the Catholics Catholic France Catholic the Catholic Church as well as the Habsburgs the Holy Roman Empire so what they agree to do is they can buy they agree to combine their forces all right so what happens is the wealth of the Dutch Republic goes to England all right and create some call and 1694 the church I'm sorry the Bank of

England okay so this is a private bank that is not accountable to the public what it does is this it prints money and who buys it Parliament buys it and this is a massive innovation that allows the British Empire to conquer the world because before if you're rich if you get if you let your money to a king to fight wars that was dangerous because the king could die or the king could lose the war the king could not pay you back okay but if you lend money to Parliament which is the nation -state then you're guaranteed to get your money back as long as the nation is still around okay and at this time in history England is the safest area of Europe because it's an island protected by the Royal Navy all right okay so this is an innovation that forever changes human history and there are three major characteristics of this system

okay the first is the idea of um profits are privatized losses are socialized if you're a rich person in the world you want to put your money in the Bank of England because you just know where the Bank of England loses money if England goes fight a war and it loses England pays for it but if it wins the war then you get the money for it okay so this is the first concept you can need to understand all profits are privatized all losses are socialized picked up by the nation -state the people that's the first thing second thing is in the system the way you generate wealth is through activity and what does that mean it means wars right so if I give you money you have to go do something with it you have to go make more profit and the way you do that is through fighting wars and that's why there

are the British Empire start to expand very quickly around the world because it needed to generate profits for the bankers okay so this includes of course the Napoleonic Wars seven of them it includes something called the Great Game a war between Russia and Britain uh for control of Central Asia um and also India the Congress of India and then um the Congress of of China okay okay doesn't make sense the open wars all right so profits so the second characteristic is that you're always creating more activity all right okay and the third thing is it's transnationalism okay open borders so it believes that capital should be able to move around from place to place and they should build systems in order to move capital from place to place okay and the last thing I want to talk about is okay this is great for the bankers but the people look at this and they think

that this is an unfair system which it is right so now you have to brainwash the people into believing this is a fair system and that's why you create a new idea called materialism or money is God and so what was happening was that transnational capital Bank of England were sponsoring major intellectuals to come up with the major ideologies to support the idea that money is God okay and these include um sorry uh John Locke who argued that private property is a God -given right okay it is an inherent right as much as freedom as much as happiness okay um and he's the founder of a theory called empiricism and empiricism states that we can only know what we ourselves experience it is not feasible it is not practical to try to come up with a fear of the world beyond our experience so don't think about God because God is beyond our experience okay

then you have someone named uh David Hume okay David Hume and David Hume argued for skepticism and skepticism just says that um everything that you know is actually not valid because what you know is just just based on um your belief okay so Rome is the capital of Italy have you been to Rome probably not okay so where did you learn this you learn this in school by memorizing this fact so basically we we should be skeptical of everything we know because most of stuff we know is either custom or habit okay so let's say the idea of さどこなんてははは of skepticism so now the problem is okay skepticism and person just means that we don't really know anything and god doesn't really exist so how can we design society and so this creates a new idea called unitarianism which is saying that if it is useful if it gives us pleasure it must be good

okay if you if you take drugs and you are happy with it it must be good if you like spending money it must be good okay and this is from bentham and then john stewart mills will make some we'll make some adjustments to it okay but this becomes the very concept of liberty right liberty just means that you are free to pursue as much money making as possible because that is the often good that is what gives you the most pleasure in life spending money okay that's what liberty is if a country prevents you from making money and spending money it's an evil dictatorship a good country allows you to enjoy the pleasures of making money okay and then um what happened is that these are the three major philosophers of materialism of British Liberty and then you have people like uh marks come in and you'll introduce the idea of of dialectic materialism. Dialectic materialism.

Which is to say, the world is one of class struggle. It's not between God and us. It's not between the divine and the material. It's one between the poor and the rich. And that's it, okay? So Marx is taking out the divine from the equation. Then you have Darwin, their evolution. Which basically says, we're just animals, man. Okay? Okay, that's all. We're not divine beings. We're all just animals. Then you have people like Freud. Sex is awesome, guys, okay? That's what we should be doing. We should be making a lot of money and then having as much sex as possible. Because that's what we are. We're just apes, okay? So this becomes very foundation for the idea that money is God. All right? Okay. So, what then happens is that transnational capital, which has conquered the British Empire, is now seeking new opportunities for its investments, okay? So, where it goes next is, of course, America.

The problem is that the Americans just had a revolution to get rid of the British Empire, right? So the Americans don't want transnational capital. It doesn't want Bank of England, it doesn't want the United States. They want to take the Bank of England or City of London and come in and conquer it. So what happens is, the City of London, the Bank of England, they use agents in America. And these agents, of course, are called, there's three of them, okay? Well, there's actually a lot. But these agents include John Rockefeller, Carnegie, okay? Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, Vanderbilt. And they will, by themselves, mobilize different industries with the resources and the capital of the City of London and Bank of England, okay? So, of course, John Rockefeller, Monopolis' oil, okay? And then what will happen is that these very powerful agents of the City of London will get together and they will create a system modeled off the Bank of England.

And this, of course, is called the Federal Reserve System. All right? 1914. And, strangely enough, after the Federal Reserve System is created, three things happen, right? The first is that America enters World War I. Then you have the 1929 stock market collapse followed by the Great Depression. And then 1941, America joins World War II. Okay, do you understand? So, Federal Reserve System means that, like Britain, America is now controlled by transnational capital, right? And it's the same system now where profits are privatized, losses are socialized, and where it's important to open the country up to capital movement. All right? Okay. So, as we know, America wins World War II. And what it does now is that it tries to move the system around the world, specifically Japan and Europe, okay? Where it's able to control the territory. And eventually, it fights a Cold War with the Soviet Union, but then it wins.

And then it basically, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, for the next 20, 30 years, it has complete control over the world. Something that we call a unipolar moment. All right? And during the unipolar moment, what happens is that manufacturing from America shifts over to China, and America completely focuses on finance. This leads to the 2008 Great Financial Crisis. All right. Okay. So, let me provide some background about the financial crisis, okay? You don't have to know everything. I'm going to give you a lot of details, but I just want you to understand the basic structure of it, okay? So, what allowed the Great Financial Crisis to happen is something called subprime. Okay? Subprime just means that you're lending money to people who can't pay you back. Okay? In this context, it's lending people, lending money to poor people to buy homes. Before banks didn't want to do that.

Okay? But there are certain things that happen to make subprime happen. Okay? So, the first thing is that Bill Clinton, he really wanted to increase minority ownership of homes. Okay? He wanted black people to buy more homes. But again, black people were historically poor, so the banks didn't really lend money to them. And that's why Bill Clinton encouraged the government to help minorities buy homes. Okay? So, that's the first thing. Okay? And this was a noble goal. The second thing that happened, which is more important, is in 1999, Bill Clinton repealed something called the Glass -Steagall. And what is this? The Glass -Steagall Act just said that if you are a bank and you take money from depositors, you cannot engage in risky lending. Okay? If you are an investment bank, okay, if you're a retail bank, you cannot engage in risky lending. But if you're an investment bank, a private bank, you can engage in risky lending.

And so, that's what the act said. Versible. Okay? It's trying to mitigate risk in the system. But by repealing the Glass -Steagall Act, what you do is you combine retail and investment together. And so, these banks now become very large. And once they become very large, they need to create financial vehicles in order to generate more profit. Okay? And at the same time, what's happening is, that because America has the unipolar moment, everyone wants to invest in America because they think America is the safest place to put your money. Okay? So this includes the GCC, the China, Europe and its pension funds, and also Japan. Okay? Japan is investing in America because of something called the Yen Carry Trade. And this is one of the dumbest things in the world. Because at this time in history, Japan is suffering from deflation. Right? No one's spending any money. So what the government does is that it lends money out to institutions at 0 % interest.

Okay? Now the institutions are supposed to take this money and promote more liquidity in the system. But instead what they do is they take this money and use it to borrow or buy U.S. Treasuries, which provide 5 % pay. Okay? So you're borrowing money at 0 % and then lending it out at 5%. And it's something called the Yen Carry Trade. Okay? It's one of the dumbest things in the world. We won't go into it. But again, there's massive money coming into the U.S. financial markets and they need to create more investment vehicles for investors. Okay? And they create something called the CDOs, which means Collateral Debt Obligations. Okay? But basically, it just means subprime. Right? The idea is that mortgages are a good investment because people have to pay a monthly mortgage, right? Therefore, you're guaranteed certain money at the end of the month.

Okay? The problem, of course, is subprime could lead to default. Okay? But at this time in history, no one was concerned about default because of the idea of too big to fail. Which means that, look, the system is structured so that everyone is involved. And if these homeowners default, and the banks default, then the entire economy collapses. Okay? So the idea is too big to fail. The system will keep on going because if a certain percentage of homeowners were to default, the entire housing market would collapse. Okay? Does it make sense, guys? All right. So this is one big Ponzi scheme. But we know for a fact that in 2008, this system collapsed. And for the longest time, what we believed is it's because the defaults were too many. They were too much. And so this system had to collapse. But if you look at what happened, what you will discover is that's not true.

Okay? The banks could just choose to roll over the default. Okay? Meaning, okay, you owe me $1,000. Right? For the mortgage. But you can't pay me. What do I do? Well, I say pay me back next month. Right? You're like, next month, you can't pay me back? Don't worry. Pay me back the month after. Okay? I can have the system keep on going. Because remember, this system, this money, it's just based on an illusion. Does it make sense, guys? All right. But it collapsed. Okay? So that's something that we're going to look at today. All right. So as you can see from this map, this chart, at first, what was happening was that there was a lot of money that the government was the one issuing out loans. Okay? So, the government is basically light blue. But then, because this industry was so profitable, private banks started to come in and issue their own loans.

And these became very risky loans. Okay? And this led, of course, to 2008 when the entire thing collapsed. Okay? All right. So, the big question is, why did the financial market collapse? So, this is the CDO issuance. Okay? As you can see, it's generating a lot of money for these private banks. And then, suddenly, in 2008, there's this massive default. It collapses. The question is, why did this happen? And again, you're taught in economics class, this is just a lot of gravity. Okay? If you go too high, you're going to fall. But what people don't tell you is this. There are actually people who made a lot of money because of the collapse. John Paulson. How much money did he make in this collapse? $20 billion, guys. That's a lot of money. $20 billion. How did he make his money? He made his money by betting that the house market would collapse.

You understand what happened? Okay? So, think about this. Okay. I lend $1 million to Amber. Okay? And everyone, $10,000. But then, suddenly, you can't pay me back. Right? But if I tell you, Amber, you can't pay me back. You have to give me your home. Okay? Then, I lose my investment in you. Right? So, I don't do that. I keep on letting you live in the house. Pretend that you can pay me back even though you can't pay me back. But then, Vincent says to me, hey, Mr. Jia, I bet you that Amber will not default on her loan because she hasn't defaulted in the past 10 years. I say to Vincent, how much do you want to bet me? And he's like, half a million dollars. Okay? He's so confident that you will not default. Right? So, I say, sure, Vincent, I'll take this bet with you. Right?

Now, what I do, now I make you default because now I can make a million dollars from Vincent. And that's how it worked, guys. You think it's a very complicated thing. It's not. It's all a giant scam because only a few people control the entire system. This is how you make 20 billion dollars in this game. Okay? You, there are stupid people buying mortgages from you, right? But then you have even more stupid people who bet that you will not default on these mortgages. And you, so you take your money from the stupidest people. And that's why this system collapsed. Because you can make more money from collapsing the system than just letting it go on. Okay? This is, this is John Paulson. This is Jimmy Diamond. And he also profited from the bank collapse. Why? Because when these banks collapse, you can start to consolidate the banking industry. Okay? So Jimmy Morgan started to buy these other banks that were losing money.

And then Jimmy Morgan now is the largest bank in America. All right? Also, guys, look at this. Before 2008, most homes were actually owned by individuals. Okay? This is 2008. Okay? So, so the gray are just individuals. They might have one home, they might have 10 homes. Okay? But it's basically individuals. The blue are those who own more than 100,000 big banks that own like 100,000 of homes. Okay? So, before 2008, you can see like most people were in the gray. Okay? These are just individuals. But then, after collapse, you see the blue and the dark blue rot go way up. Why? Because these homeowners lost their homes. And so these banks and these companies come in and buy them on the cheap. Doesn't make sense. So it's not, so the great financial crisis of 2008 destroyed millions of lives, but it made it profitable for a few powerful individuals and institutions.

Okay? Right. A major consequence. So, so then you're like, okay, no, no, no, no, Mr. Jiang, you don't get it. It's gravity. Eventually, a bubble has to collapse. Well, okay, well, today we have two bubbles. We have something called the private equity bubble, private credit bubble, okay, where private banks lend money to private companies. And people say it's $200. And it hasn't collapsed yet. Why? Because the private banks allow the private companies who are losing money to keep on going. You understand? The private banks don't come and say, hey, you guys are losing money. I, you should declare bankruptcy and I'll take whatever you have. Why? Because they would lose all our money that way. Okay, do you understand this idea? These bubbles can keep on going forever. They don't have to collapse. Another big bubble today is something called the AI bubble, right? These companies, Nvidia, OpenAI, when they, their AI products don't actually make any money.

Like, CatGP does not make any money. In fact, it loses money every, every time you use it. Okay? Because it's more expensive to run ChatGPT than it generates in revenue. But, and it's, it's a huge bubble, but why doesn't it collapse? Because these are just a few companies lending money to each other. Okay? That's all it is. It's a giant Ponzi scheme. It's an inside game. So, bubbles don't have to collapse. They collapse when it's profitable for a few individuals to make it collapse. All right? Okay. Another idea I want to talk about I want you to understand is that after the 2008 Great Financial Crisis, this created problems in the global economy. And so, what happened was Transnational Capital decided to save the global economy by allowing China to rise. Okay? So, this is not known. But, one major consequence of the Great Financial Crisis is that Transnational Capital encouraged the China to print money.

And this is the Bank of International Settlements is in Basel, Switzerland. And it's considered the central bank of central banks. So, every nation has a central bank that determines interest rate. But, all central banks, which coordinates all central banks. All right? And it is the most powerful bank in the world. All right. And you think that, okay, this must be public. No, it's not public. It's just run in the best, it's managed for the best interest of powerful people in the world. Okay? All right. So, this is from the book Basel, Tower of Basel. Okay? Can you read?

For despite and shots planning, Nazi Germany had not achieved autarky. It needed to buy vast amounts of raw materials to manufacture armaments and to feed, heat and clothe its population. Swedish steel, Romanian oil, Portuguese tungsten, even South American beef all had to be purchased and paid for in hard currency. Nazi Germany needed a financial channel to the neutral countries it ran through Basel, which is the main reason why Nazi Germany did not invade Switzerland or Sweden. These neutral countries were far more used to the third reach as Third Reich. Reich. Yes, Third Reich as monetary hubs on the transnational financial network than as extra swaths of German controlled territory.

Okay, so what this means is this. In this speech is Hitler promised independence from the global financial order controlled by the British. Okay. But you can't really do that because you just have to buy things from other places. But then you're like I need a bank to lend me money to buy things but also help me facilitate transactions. Okay. And this is the idea of transnational capital. And transnational capital they don't really care if you're evil. They don't care. All they care about is how can I make money. So this this bank Bank of National Settlements and Transnational Capital was helping to fund the Nazi war machine because it was profitable to do so. Okay. And you think okay after Hitler lost the Americans would surely know okay Bank of National Settlements is evil because they helped the Nazis. Therefore we should destroy the Bank of National Settlements. Okay. But that's not what happened. After World War II the Bank of National Settlements became even more powerful.

Martial aid came at a price remodeling European societies on the American model of consumerism and consumption. Hoffman's propaganda arm produced pamphlets posters leaflets radio programs and even traveling puppet shows that extolled the American lifestyle. The American dream a house in the suburbs a car and numerous household appliances was projected as a near guaranteed benefit of American style freedom. The key to this was increased productivity on American style production lines in a transnational free market. For that to happen and for the money to flow freely new mechanisms of international payment had to be constructed with the BIS at the center.

Okay. So the world is run for money. Okay. The world exists these organizations exist in order to facilitate the easy fluid movement of money around the world and make money God. Okay. So after 2008 the Bank of National Settlements had a problem in that the global economy was slowing down. Europe had lost a lot of money. America had lost a lot of money. So their solution was let's shift the center of gravity from America and Europe to China. And you're like okay how do you do that then? You do that with something called the exchange rate. Okay. Exchange rate is very simple. Rooming B to USD. Okay. So remember how the interest rate in a national economy is a signaling mechanism as to whether or not to increase or decrease liquidity. Well the exchange rate in the national marketplace is a signaling mechanism to tell other nations whether or not to trade with another nation.

And so now the world knows oh I should trade with China. And China is like well okay my exchange rate is higher than before therefore I should buy more things from the world. Okay. But not only that but now that I have access to commodities from the world then I should know I need to promote my economy to use these resources. So I should spend more money on infrastructure. I should build more high speed railways. I should build airports. Okay. And that's what China did. You see how 2008 just as the American

and European economies were suffering the global economy was suffering the Chinese economy China started to have a higher exchange rate. Okay. And it kept on going higher and higher and then what did China do with it? China started to buy stuff from around the world a signaling mechanism where the Bank of National Settlements is saying to the world you can now sell to China. We will guarantee China. All right. And that's because the Bank of National Settlements needed China to buy more things from the world. And this happened in starting around 2008 right? This massive surge in imports and because all the commodities were coming to China China to spend these commodities so it started to build infrastructure right? And how did it finance the building of this infrastructure? Bank loans guys. Bank loans. All right. So this is China sorry this is this is China right? Look at this look look at this look

at this this is China 2008 2008 basically China US Japan Europe their economies were about the same. But starting about 2008 wow look at this this is all being orchestrated by the Bank of National Settlements by a few people working behind the scenes. Look at this look at how crazy this is all right? So what does this mean? It means that today China has the largest banks in the world. This is JP Morgan the largest bank in America. This is Chinese this is Chinese this is China this is Chinese this is Chinese this is Japanese okay? The top four banks in the world are Chinese. Why? Because in the in the bank system debts are liability sorry debt liabilities are also assets do you understand? All this money the Chinese banks have are just liabilities okay? So this is how the system works it's all just an illusion. The thing about the Chinese system that

prevents it from imploding is the fact that all debt in China is localized instead of nationalized all right? So even though these Chinese banks are heavily in debt they're in debt in local areas not national areas okay? And all this means is that the Bank of China does not have that much debt relative to say the Bank of Japan okay? So debt in Japan is nationalized debt in China is localized all right? Okay so another major consequence of China the Chinese the growth of the Chinese banking system is that China started to export its goods around the world more okay? So as you can see in the year 2000 America really dominated the world okay? In manufacturer export okay? But by the year 2024 look it's basically the entire world is buying Chinese exports all right? And so this is a deliberate strategy of transnational capital to move the center of economic gravity from the

United States to China and the problem with China the reason why China has not become the hegemon is that China's not interested in being the hegemon in other words military power also as China is expanding its manufacturing capacity to the world who's upset now? The United States right? And so what the United States does is it imposes tariffs okay? Does it make sense? All right so in other words okay even though in theory the theory is that the goal of the bankers is to maintain the game okay? That's all they care about so they want to switch from America to China but it didn't really work because China doesn't really want to take the responsibility of being the global reserve currency as well as having military bases overseas all right? So China doesn't want to do this and America won't let China do this so you're only on one side and you're on the other side So the other option now is Israel okay?

And that's why I believe that this war in Iran what it will do is shift the center of gravity from America to Israel because Israel wants to be the center of the world not China okay? That doesn't make sense guys all right? The other thing you have to understand is that for this to happen though transnational capital needs to first collapse the American economy and there are different ways they can do that right? They can collapse the private credit bubble, they can collapse the AI bubble, they can collapse both at the same time. And why would they want to do that? Because as a banker, as a transnational capital, you make your money through activity, right? When people go and do stuff, whether it's entrepreneurship or starting wars, but they have to go do stuff. And right now, America has a lot of problems, okay?

So let's look at America's problems. First is aging, where the elite are now older and older, therefore they are less active, they are less energetic, they are less entrepreneurial, okay? Then you have something called quantum easing, which is like too much money in the system. If you have too much money in the system, then people do stupid things like gamble, okay? Alright, and the last problem of America is you can't win wars, okay? Like this Iran situation is showing that the American military is not as strong as you think it is. So if you're a transnational capital, you see these three things, okay? The population is getting too old, there's too much money around, so people do stupid things like gambling, and the American military is not that great, then you're gonna shift your capital from America overseas, okay? But before you do that, what you want to do is engineer a financial crisis so that you can make as much money as possible, just like the 2008 financial crisis, okay?

So we don't know when it will happen, but we can be sure that it will happen. It will be suddenly, okay? Okay, does that make sense, guys? Now, you're like, wait a minute here. Why would Trump and the Americans allow this to happen? They must know this is coming. And the answer is because it is in the long -term best interest of America for the economy to collapse and for transnational capital to go elsewhere. And this is something we'll discuss next class, okay? What the long -term American strategy is. Transnational capital is leaving America, so, and the Americans are like, oh my God, Bank of England, City of London, these parasites are leaving? Thank you, get out of here, man, okay? And what will happen is, once they leave, America will probably have a much brighter future, and something we'll discuss next class.

So, seems like that America is in a disadvantage, advantage situation, but they know what they are doing, and they're just sending parasites outside of their country and having a more long -term benefit, is that right?

Okay, so this is something we'll discuss next class, okay? But this is not a deliberate strategy, all right? Because if you think about it, economic collapse will destroy a lot of wealth in America. It will probably create conditions for civil war in America. It will create a lot of pain. But for certain people, for example, Donald Trump, who believed that this thing is necessary in order for America to become great again, okay? He said, his motto is what? Make America great again, and how do you do that? You get rid of these parasites. But to get rid of parasites, guys, it's a painful, painful process. It's like a cancer, right? Have you guys been through cancer treatment? It's painful. Chemotherapy, they do surgery on you, you have to eat this crappy food all the time. It's a painful process. It's a painful process. So transnational capital, it's a parasitic force. It's a cancer on the American host.

They have to get rid of it, but it's gonna be a very painful process. That's gonna take a long time, years, possibly decades, okay? Yeah, Amber?

So if transnational capital is leaving America, then how would you think this shift would impact the global economy, or would it at all?

Yeah, okay, all right. Yeah, all right. So there's so many things. There's so many, we'll discuss later on, okay? But let me just show you how the shift happens. All right, so right now you're in America, and the best place for you to shift is Israel. Okay, why? Because you're interested in activity, okay? You're interested in putting your money in a place where it's gonna grow, right? And why is Israel growing? Well, because of the Greater Israel Project. You want to conquer the Middle East, but then it has to rebuild, right, after, that, the, this, after the war, rebuilding. And then, what it's gonna do is become the hub of global trade, right? Because Israel controls Africa. And this is something we'll discuss next class, okay? So this is why you wanna invest in Israel, for these three reasons. Why? Because you're gonna keep on fighting wars to achieve the greater Israel project. Wars are profitable.

Wars are the most profitable enterprise in the world, okay? Second is that they have to rebuild after all this destruction, so they need capital. And the third is they will control global trade because of the location, okay? So this is why Israel is a smart investment for transnational capital. I'm not talking about like us, okay, with like $1,000. I'm talking like trillions of dollars will probably go into Israel, all right? So to leave America, what you want is a stock market collapse, okay, an economic collapse. Why? Because economic collapse not only allows you to leave with as much money as possible, but it also allows you to buy up distressed assets. When I mean distressed assets, I mean resources, which include water, oil, okay? So you wanna create as much damage as possible because then it's easier for you to buy up these resources. And, okay, does that make sense, all right? So

these guys plan decades ahead, but transnational capital, what they do is they're trying to create as much chaos as possible because in chaos, there's profit. Like if you're sitting around doing nothing, you can't make any money, okay? But if you are fighting each other, if there's blood on the streets, you can make a lot of money, all right? Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay. Any more questions, guys? Okay, so we'll talk about what happens after this financial shift next class, okay?
