The normal air defenses of the USA were "stood down" on 9/11/01, due to "training exercises" that were being carried out simultaneously, "Northern Defender" pulled most of NORAD's planes up to northern Canada and Alaska, while "Vigilant Guardian" simulated what was actually happening in real time. Air traffic controllers kept asking if what they were seeing was "real or exercise".
The hole in the Pentagon looked just like the hole in Slobodan Milosevich's building, caused by a cruise-missile with penetration warhead.
No wings, luggage, titanium turbofan engines or passenger bodies on the Pentagon lawn...
Rumsfeld and Cheney had worked on "Continuity of Government" chain of command procedures since Gerald Ford was president. They went-live on 9/11/01. Cheney was running the battle-board. Bush Jr. was tucked-away, as were the rest of elected government representatives.
The USAF was certainly involved in planning. ("Lucky") Larry Silverstein, the new WTC owner was certainly involved in planning and cover up. Security for the WTC complex was handled by a Mossad-founded company. Certain people went to work and died that day, but others did not.
9/11/01 "finished" what was carried out 11/22/63, with LBJ's full cooperation, and which served the MIC, Israeli-nuclear-weapons-program, Federal Reserve Bank, and Allen Dulles, as well as Bush, Harriman, Rockefeller and associated interests, the interests of the oligarchs who repeatedly tried to kill FDR, and quite possibly succeeded through poison in April of 1945. Something like a trillion dollars of special purpose US government treasury debt (originated to take-down the USSR) came due on 9/11/01 or 9/12/01, and was covered by emergency spending measures.
George H.W. Bush was in Dallas on that 11/22/63, though he always reported that "he could not remember" where he was. "Poppy" Bush was in the CIA, and later ran the CIA. (I remember going home from kindergarten at noon that day, etc.)
As we know, a whole lot of witnesses to the events of 11/22/63 were dead by 1967, a whole lot of people. (There is a high-level rumor that later Watergate Burglar G. Gordon Liddy fired the fatal shot under JFK's chin, but who knows? Mainly the dead know. Richard Nixon reportedly knew a lot, and kept as far from the CIA as he could, which was not really possible, of course.
As I wrote in the article. I'm sure some elements of the establishment and even some elements of the CIA knew and prepared some things in advance. (Even though I can't know that). My claim was that it was not official policy of the USA or CIA to do 9/11 or to plan and trigger it.
For the rest, I don't know and I can't know.
Thanks for your comment. There is a lot we all don't know...
I have tracked this intensively sing early 2002, when I became aware of what had been done on 9/11/01. Not all of what I have seen can still be found. The seismic readings from upstate New York showed very sharp spikes at the moments the Twin Towers each started to collapse.
That was scrubbed long ago, and may point to more than ordinary explosives, something in the deep basements, potentially mini-nukes. 9/11 is a whole occult world...
Hey Dr Day. Dennis from Boston MGH here. I followed the 'Loosh' comment above to the 'Splinter in the mind' website. Looks very interesting. Nice find.
Many thanks, Aleks, for pulling all this information together. A great work!
You used Rothschild as your starting point. My starting point would probably have been slightly earlier: Sabbatai Zevi, but same difference really.
The Bilderberg Group was established to manage and launder through European and American banks the vast amount of loot which the Americans and British allowed senior NAZIs, like Hitler and Bormann, to take with them when they faked their own deaths and fled to the protection of Peron in Argentina.
A section on The Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) might also have been worthwhile.

Aleks, this is unequivocally the best article you’ve written to date!!
Bravo! 👏
I agree with you on everything you said here, and viewed from the operational level, my comments on your previous article (Israel) - I believe - are complimentary to your analysis.
Thanx Alex for your work, it was really a good read!
With so many informations that we have nowdays, it seems to me we were never more blinded. It's not easy task to try and bring some structure into all this informational mess, as it creates more confusion and division.
So, thanx once again for your effort, we need voices like yours!
Oh my, oh my. Good Morning my brain child. Goodness, little did I know as a young lass, age 17, would I excel at micro and macro economics. Oops, and accounting, data, sorting and stacking, winks. All relative, I did know it was to be one of my many gifts to offer as “service to others”; along the Good Red Road … the great re-membering; the Great Works, the Spiritual Revolution continues. Alas, my time is short, carry on I must. How I puttered along, river guiding, shearing sheep, farming, building Pelton Wheels, Straw Huts, blah blah. Then, all those years floor nursing and case managing my other selves, Special Eduction, us, the “Short Bus”; gang of nuro divergents. Yet, here I am this fine morning, with you my friend. Right where I belong. Must re read, save, re read, send to a few select folks. Where is that cat, my virtual cat? Old lady with a virtual cat❤️🐈⬛ ((Thank you, thank you, thank you))
I am…a… mishmash of oddity and hubris. Stories to share, laughter that shakes the room. I find I cannot be to serious as it potentially could drain my vital force. Time and a place for all. Your gifts are immeasurable; I am somewhat of a simpleton, easy on the mind, soulful, bright bulb in progress, thank YOU for that...Stay the course my friend, my virtual cat. Old lady with a collection of virtual kat’s ❤️🐈⬛
I for one support competition among our overlords. The more they have to fight for us, the better our position can be!
I think back to what some claim is the medieval idea of intersecting loyalties - you're a family man, a stalwart member of your village community, a religious man, a man loyal to his liege, and whatever other commitments bind you, all at once. Each has claim on you, but none of them truly own you, making it so that currying the average man's favor was a worthwhile pursuit.
The only thing that can beat a vampire is another vampire.
I basically agree with Aleks simplified outline of how the world works. Many more than 5 families of oligarchs run the world. Around 23 families run the small country of El Salvador. It takes hundreds of families to run Mexico. In the 90s there were around 11 main oligarchs taking over Russia before Putin. Although only 2- 4 % of the population of Russia, 9 of those oligarchs were Jewish. In Europe the Rothchilds have been among the richest people in world for centuries and still are. It is said that some of the families that ran Rome are still rich and powerful today. I recently read some families in Florence have been rich for over a thousand years. I don't know how far back the Agnellis go. The English royal families are among the richest people in the world along with the Netherland royal family. There is a reason it is called Royal Dutch Shell. The Rockefellers in the US you did name. Families are how the elites can have multi decade plans come to fruition. ThyssenKrupp is the biggest multicorporation in Germany. Recently Chinese and Japanese families have been allowed in the big party that we aren't invited to. Right now the US military is the bitch for the world elites and the US MIC that has been joined by the national security 3 letter agencies. Even so the powers that be still prefer the Ukainian situation to be fought to the last Ukrainian. Or the jihadis are used to fight the so called Syrian civil war. These days it is mainly an AngloZionist deep state. Who owns the media and major publishing companies in the US? Who runs Hollywood and controls most recording companies? Read Whitney Webb about how Epstein did the Hoover like blackmail operation in the 90s and 2000s for Israel. What country can regularly bomb other countries or assassinate people in most any country in the world(that is besides the US?) What apartheid country is now committing genocide and the world does nothing? The US actually collaborates sending weapons and money. What historical event can people be put in jail for investigating the main stream narrative? Interesting how Bill Gates is allowed to join but Pablo Escobar wasn't even though he was rich enough. There is not one monolithic group that runs the world. They fight among themselves and then we find out somethings. However if their control is threatened they will join together. They will kill their own if they step outside the box and are effective. Can you say JFK ?
Its not really correct to state "5. The loans are paid by taxpayer money. Hence, the taxpayers are paying for the war, for the interest charges of the banks and for the profits of the MIC."
According to MMT and indeed the central banks themselves, and others who have studies how banks work and double entry bookkeeping taxes are not “paying” for anything: instead new money is created routinely every time government makes a payment. Taxes are primarily an income / wealth distribution mechanism. This means that whatever 'balance' a government has at any one time is irrelevant.
For example a tax demand is a brand new asset created by government, balanced by a liability once the tax has been paid, and both sides of the balance sheet cancel out to zero: the basic working principal of double entry bookkeeping the fundamental way all private, public and central banks work globally, which was Rothschild's and all the other banksters' insight, that you don't need savers to fund spending.
The US 28 Trillion National Debt could be mostly wiped out with a modern debt jubilee. This happened in 1948 when the Deutsche Mark was introduced, replacing the Reichsmark, and 90 percent of government and private debt was wiped out in the currency reform administered by the Allied Powers, creating what the Germans called an “Economic Miracle” when Germany emerged as an almost debt-free country, with low costs of production that jump-started its modern economy.
In all eras – from antiquity to the present – debts have tended to mount up faster than the ability of most debtors to pay. That is a basic mathematical fact: Economic growth is arithmetic and can’t keep up with the exponential growth of debt growing at compound interest.
The big economic question is – and has always been – what will happen if debts cannot be paid? Will there be a debt writedown in favor of debtors (as has been done for large corporations), or will creditors be allowed to foreclose (as is always done on personal debtors and mortgage-holders), leading to their political takeover of the assets of the economy – and the government’s public sector?
Yes, humanity has its psychopaths – many of them found in the upper echelons of the power pyramid. I am focusing on fundamentals of human nature here. We live out our lives, each day, guided by the ‘light’ or understanding we have. Hopefully, as the years roll by this ‘circle of light’ brightens and grows a little wider. It lights our way from birth to death and reveals to us what we understand about our own human nature; our existence and desire. To the depth that we understand ourselves, we understand humanity.
For me, I understand that from one limited angle, the psychopath represents success in evolution. A psychopath has conquered his or her emotional nature and is able to manipulate emotion as a tool. Their mental nature is also skilled and under control; and they can plan and scheme and manipulate other minds. These emotional and mental skills are integrated into a functioning personality that they use to further their selfish ends. What is missing from such a personality is the heart – their humanity.
Going back to fundamentals: every moment of every day we choose. This is the age-old battle in every human mind. It is not a matter of thinking. We know what ‘good’ feels like and we know what ‘bad’ feels like. Even a child knows. A baby knows when it is comfortable and content. If we choose what is ‘bad’, the conscience kicks in. If we ignore the conscience then ignoring leads to ignorance. Ignorance creates a vacuum and ego rushes in. And the world is an incredibly ignorant place because of this simple lack of skill and consciousness.
The ‘heart’ is a place inside of you, where all of your courage resides. Your clarity, your intelligence, your morality, your love, your wisdom, your knowledge of the ‘good’ - all reside in there. In order to get in touch with them, you have to learn how to feel and to learn the language of the heart.
Even in the psychopath, the heart must be present – otherwise the person would not be a human. Without the heart, the mind would be an incredibly dark place.
I think the psychopath bears a responsibility for the damage done: but I think the rest of us bear a responsibility too. We outnumber the psychopaths by a huge factor. Most of humanity strives to embrace the good. If psychopaths had a little light on their forehead that turned on when they were active, no one would vote for them or allow them to run anything.
Humanity decided to leave the jungle and the law of the jungle behind and become civilised. The law of the jungle says the strong devour the weak: the law of civilisation says the strong protect the weak. The effort made must be to become more civilised - fundamentally, as human beings – to choose the good; to become more human. Being human is something we are evolving into (apparently). The alternative doesn’t work.
According to MMT $govt. circulates vertically in the economy: govt. spending creating $govt. and taxation destroying it. When govt ‘borrows’ from the private sector (sells bonds) it unnecessarily borrows its own $ (aka corporate welfare). Govt –ve$ (debt) is currency area +ve$ (financial asset). Pay off govt. ‘debt’ and the currency area will be broke. Only constraint is human intelligence, ingenuity and kindness.
$bank-credit circulates horizontally in the economy: created by bank loans $credit circulates until paid off – hence $bank circulation sums to zero. Govt.'s do not realise the power embedded in $monopoly.
Above doesn’t change Alex’s power pyramid although I would add GREED & IGNORANCE to the apex above all else.
I suggest it does change Alex’s power pyramid in a significant way, it should read something like :- "5. [...] taxpayers are NOT paying for any wars (and never have, even before the US $ was taken off gold in 1971 by Nixon), nor for the interest charges of the banks and not for the profits of the MIC rather US$ have always been created by double entry bookkeeping, hiding behind the fraudulent claim that its taxpayers' money they use to fund everything - when its NOT - and thus they can continue with the fraudulent claim there's not enough in the coffers to pay for ordinary people's welfare, health, education, food, and the upkeep and renewal of vital infrastructure etc. etc. This is a very significant part of government's over all confidence trick it plays on citizens."
I didn’t emphasise it above, but for me the main point is the power that govt. actually has with its monopoly over money: they could tax the oligarchies and corpocracies off the page. What we are dealing with really, is the age-old ‘human problem’. There is ‘good’ and there is ‘bad’ in a human being – 50% of each – because we get to choose between them. The one that grows strongest and overpowers the other, thereby having supremacy over us, is the one we feed. This has nothing to do with religion or spiritually, culture or civilisation – just being human. We get to choose. And you wouldn’t know it, looking at this world, but humans actually like the good in them because it makes them feel happy.
For me, there is the skin of the earth and its resources, human intelligence, ingenuity and kindness – or its absence. Darkness is an absence of light – not an entity in itself. Hate is an absence of love. Without kindness, there is a void in a human being: ignorance, ego, greed, rush in to fill the void. This is the age-old human problem – the battle that goes on in every human mind; and spills out into the theatre of the world. Only the heart knows how to rise above this.
There is a power there for govt. to take command and apply the potential of money monopoly to public purpose and good. Money could be used to minister to mankind and the earth. Take care of the planet and all of its denizens. There is nothing, ever achieved by war that could not better have been achieved by peace.
Remember, it took the earth 4.6B years of evolution to produce humans, imperfect as we are. We are only 60,000 years out of Africa; 6,000 years for modern man – still evolving. We live in a quiet little galaxy in a quiet corner of the universe, rotating and orbiting in infinite space – spinning our narratives about reality. At the heart of our existence remain the enduring questions. What we are looking for is already inside of us. There is a seed inside every human heart that one day must germinate and grow. This, also, is a thread in human history. The rest, say people with this knowledge, is hypnotic, a play, a drama - a human distraction.
Still, we should play nicely. A power pyramid is not the problem: it’s being human is the problem. We have moved so far away from our own ‘good’ nature and keep making dumb choices; the same mistakes over and over again. Homo ‘sapiens’ huh! Slow learners – but things seem to be speeding up lately.
I hear your appeals, but not all humans have the potential to be 'good' to cultivate 'light' as you put it: lets call them 'psychopathic'.
For example, Laurent Guyénot introduces a powerful notion of a systemic psychopathy induced by a ‘cognitive virus’ transmitted over hundreds of generations, and that “Jewishness is the internalization of the psychopathic god”.
I agree it does not help us understand Israel pointing fingers at individuals like Netanyahu being a psychopath - but if “Jewishness is the internalization of the psychopathic god” is correct then by definition Netanyahu having internalised such a psychopathic code of behaviour, must then meet the threshold of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised, now the Psychopathy Checklist—revised (PCL-R) to be diagnosed as a psychopath!.
I wonder what solutions / cures / treatments such insights gained by critical analysis of this ‘cognitive virus’ may suggest?
Enjoyed again, thanks Aleks. So enlightened. What do you think about Kiev's and Washington's plans to convert Ukraine into the new big Israel? Will be nice to hear your thoughts on that.
As soon as Ukraine's mobilization potential or its logistical sustainability is worn down Ukraine will fall as a state. Everything will go back to Russia.
What Russia will do with it and whether and how it will share the territory... I have no Idea.
I wait some hours and read it twice, but I must confess you did not convince me, for three reason:
1. you cannot speak of a "Western" Oligarchy without an "Eastern" one (i.e. the BRICS currency look a lot like my nightmare than your dream);
2. STOP SAYING GERMANY IS A POWERHOUSE PLEAS IN THE NAME OF OUR FELLOW CHRISTIAN TRUE GOD: Germany is a failing Third World power that lived of cheap gas (North Stream) wage-dumping (Haartz reforms) and currency manipulation (€). It is a victim of its self delusion (the only country in the human history that lost 3 world wars in 3) not "American" malicy - and it is only delusion: no country in the world ever responded to a non-tariff import barrier (i.e. Dieselgate) by SELF-CASTRATING through mandatory dependecy on foreign resources and technology (EU Green Deal);
3. there is a ready-made solution for all this condrum: the DEPENDENT Central Bank (i.e. one that is at best a Minister/Undersecretary at worst an Agency). Yes, the FED bombed to death almost all of them, from French and Italian ones to the Arab ones (and those one literally), but it is really that simple.
Point 3, in particular, make me not much receptive of all.
1) The next Economics and Empires article will be exactly about this topic. Wait and see :)) It will be at the same time the last Economics and Empires article.
2) I swear I have your voice always in the back of my mind when I write about Germany :) :)
Mi scusi, per favore.
Even though I partially agree, I still see that the Empire see Germany as highly important. I assume because of two facts. 1) Its geographical position. 2) One of the Oligarchs is/came from Germany.
3. i humbly suggest you to study Bank of Japan: it is a curious example (a true Nihonjinron) of a CB that: (a) is dependant by statute - i swear, read it, is umbelivable (b) behave in a dependant way (c) is partially stock-traded (d) is ufficially not interested in CBDC.
2. AS IT SHOULD BE. That said, i dislike the whole "poor Cermanni" peana because, in the end, it is a squalid Dolchstoßlegende. The first one was that Weimar liberals betrayed a winning army: it was not, the army was defeated and the population starving; the second is the "Clean Wehrmacht legend" and i think i have not to explain it to a Serb; the third is that the USA backtabbed Germany: it works only if you belive Germany was "A DRU BAWERHAUS" and not a rotting example of a failing Ordoliberist regime.
Fantastic article. It could be titled How The World Works For Dummies.
I wish an article on How The Dummies Can Retake The World!
We had that discussion once, do you remember? :)))
Yes Sir, I do... :)
Thank you so much :)
I ran for mayor against Gavin screwsom in SF 2007, having no idea he was , nor what is, then, a young globalist klausian cocksucker leader.
ScKamala put me in jail and took my business away.
When Gavin shook my hand at a debate, sic, flesh crawled off my skin into the abyss.
I went to jail, solitary confinement lost my business, and my life seems to have been forever wrecked.
In 2020 they did that all same shit to you too.
Solitary, loss of business,loss of freedom forever.
Easy come, easy gone forevermore
Thank you for this extensive work, Aleks.

Aleks. Great Work! Thank you!
He Dennis! Good to see you engaged.
The realism is so welcoming .
The urge to control dominates to achieve prosperity until it goes insane trying control every detail of existence.
Even devouring its host, democracy ‘s dream of diversity with views for a balanced perspective.
It’s not working out thank goodness as we the people pull back the curtain on this dark room of the unthinking.
So hard to repress life itself!
Openness is the light to shine into this social gloom as is the morning dawn bringing us a new day.
Keep shining the light!
Many thanks, Aleks, for pulling all this information together. A great work!

Always appreciate to read comments from people from my country!
We need more Serbian voices being made audible worldwide.
I would appriciate an article about Yugoslavia and how in realy went down and why. For all of us former Yugoslavians.

Well. You're right. That is also simple market economy or let's put it that way... Divide et impera.
It works for group projects, it works for domestic leaders - no reason it can't work for us.

I basically agree with Aleks simplified outline of how the world works. Many more than 5 families of oligarchs run the world. Around 23 families run the small country of El Salvador. It takes hundreds of families to run Mexico. In the 90s there were around 11 main oligarchs taking over Russia before Putin. Although only 2- 4 % of the population of Russia, 9 of those oligarchs were Jewish. In Europe the Rothchilds have been among the richest people in world for centuries and still are. It is said that some of the families that ran Rome are still rich and powerful today. I recently read some families in Florence have been rich for over a thousand years.

ThyssenKrupp is the biggest multicorporation in Germany. Recently Chinese and Japanese families have been allowed in the big party that we aren't invited to. Right now the US military is the bitch for the world elites and the US MIC that has been joined by the national security 3 letter agencies. Even so the powers that be still prefer the Ukainian situation to be fought to the last Ukrainian. Or the jihadis are used to fight the so called Syrian civil war. These days it is mainly an AngloZionist deep state. Who owns the media and major publishing companies in the US? Who runs Hollywood and controls most recording companies? Read Whitney Webb about how Epstein did the Hoover like blackmail operation in the 90s and 2000s for Israel. What country can regularly bomb other countries or assassinate people in most any country in the world(that is besides the US?) What apartheid country is now committing genocide and the world does nothing? The US actually collaborates sending weapons and money. What historical event can people be put in jail for investigating the main stream narrative? Interesting how Bill Gates is allowed to join but Pablo Escobar wasn't even though he was rich enough. There is not one monolithic group that runs the world. They fight among themselves and then we find out somethings. However if their control is threatened they will join together. They will kill their own if they step outside the box and are effective. Can you say JFK ?
Hello brothers (and sisters)... I hope to be of help with this link... memories from the covid-19 dark slavery times....
Cannot vouch for it, but maybe someone better than me can...

Its not really correct to state "5. The loans are paid by taxpayer money. Hence, the taxpayers are paying for the war, for the interest charges of the banks and for the profits of the MIC."
According to MMT and indeed the central banks themselves, and others who have studies how banks work and double entry bookkeeping taxes are not “paying” for anything: instead new money is created routinely every time government makes a payment. Taxes are primarily an income / wealth distribution mechanism. This means that whatever 'balance' a government has at any one time is irrelevant.
For example a tax demand is a brand new asset created by government, balanced by a liability once the tax has been paid, and both sides of the balance sheet cancel out to zero: the basic working principal of double entry bookkeeping the fundamental way all private, public and central banks work globally, which was Rothschild's and all the other banksters' insight, that you don't need savers to fund spending.

The U.S. government's total revenue is estimated to be $4.71 trillion for FY 2023.
https://www.thebalancemoney.com/current-u-s-federal-government-tax-revenue-3305762
And the US National Debt passed 28 Trillion earlier this year, with 4.7 Trillion added in FY 2023.
https://brandonkss.github.io/us-national-debt-chart.html
But the U.S. government has spent $6.13 trillion in fiscal year 2023.
https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/federal-spending/
Clearly taxes don't fund spending.
The US 28 Trillion National Debt could be mostly wiped out with a modern debt jubilee. This happened in 1948 when the Deutsche Mark was introduced, replacing the Reichsmark, and 90 percent of government and private debt was wiped out in the currency reform administered by the Allied Powers, creating what the Germans called an “Economic Miracle” when Germany emerged as an almost debt-free country, with low costs of production that jump-started its modern economy.

In all eras – from antiquity to the present – debts have tended to mount up faster than the ability of most debtors to pay. That is a basic mathematical fact: Economic growth is arithmetic and can’t keep up with the exponential growth of debt growing at compound interest.
The big economic question is – and has always been – what will happen if debts cannot be paid? Will there be a debt writedown in favor of debtors (as has been done for large corporations), or will creditors be allowed to foreclose (as is always done on personal debtors and mortgage-holders), leading to their political takeover of the assets of the economy – and the government’s public sector?

Yes, humanity has its psychopaths – many of them found in the upper echelons of the power pyramid. I am focusing on fundamentals of human nature here. We live out our lives, each day, guided by the ‘light’ or understanding we have. Hopefully, as the years roll by this ‘circle of light’ brightens and grows a little wider. It lights our way from birth to death and reveals to us what we understand about our own human nature; our existence and desire. To the depth that we understand ourselves, we understand humanity.
For me, I understand that from one limited angle, the psychopath represents success in evolution. A psychopath has conquered his or her emotional nature and is able to manipulate emotion as a tool. Their mental nature is also skilled and under control; and they can plan and scheme and manipulate other minds. These emotional and mental skills are integrated into a functioning personality that they use to further their selfish ends. What is missing from such a personality is the heart – their humanity.
Going back to fundamentals: every moment of every day we choose. This is the age-old battle in every human mind. It is not a matter of thinking. We know what ‘good’ feels like and we know what ‘bad’ feels like. Even a child knows. A baby knows when it is comfortable and content. If we choose what is ‘bad’, the conscience kicks in. If we ignore the conscience then ignoring leads to ignorance. Ignorance creates a vacuum and ego rushes in. And the world is an incredibly ignorant place because of this simple lack of skill and consciousness.
The ‘heart’ is a place inside of you, where all of your courage resides. Your clarity, your intelligence, your morality, your love, your wisdom, your knowledge of the ‘good’ - all reside in there. In order to get in touch with them, you have to learn how to feel and to learn the language of the heart.
Even in the psychopath, the heart must be present – otherwise the person would not be a human. Without the heart, the mind would be an incredibly dark place.
I think the psychopath bears a responsibility for the damage done: but I think the rest of us bear a responsibility too. We outnumber the psychopaths by a huge factor. Most of humanity strives to embrace the good. If psychopaths had a little light on their forehead that turned on when they were active, no one would vote for them or allow them to run anything.
Humanity decided to leave the jungle and the law of the jungle behind and become civilised. The law of the jungle says the strong devour the weak: the law of civilisation says the strong protect the weak. The effort made must be to become more civilised - fundamentally, as human beings – to choose the good; to become more human. Being human is something we are evolving into (apparently). The alternative doesn’t work.
According to MMT $govt. circulates vertically in the economy: govt. spending creating $govt. and taxation destroying it. When govt ‘borrows’ from the private sector (sells bonds) it unnecessarily borrows its own $ (aka corporate welfare). Govt –ve$ (debt) is currency area +ve$ (financial asset). Pay off govt. ‘debt’ and the currency area will be broke. Only constraint is human intelligence, ingenuity and kindness.
$bank-credit circulates horizontally in the economy: created by bank loans $credit circulates until paid off – hence $bank circulation sums to zero. Govt.'s do not realise the power embedded in $monopoly.
Above doesn’t change Alex’s power pyramid although I would add GREED & IGNORANCE to the apex above all else.
I suggest it does change Alex’s power pyramid in a significant way, it should read something like :- "5. [...] taxpayers are NOT paying for any wars (and never have, even before the US $ was taken off gold in 1971 by Nixon), nor for the interest charges of the banks and not for the profits of the MIC rather US$ have always been created by double entry bookkeeping, hiding behind the fraudulent claim that its taxpayers' money they use to fund everything - when its NOT - and thus they can continue with the fraudulent claim there's not enough in the coffers to pay for ordinary people's welfare, health, education, food, and the upkeep and renewal of vital infrastructure etc. etc. This is a very significant part of government's over all confidence trick it plays on citizens."
I didn’t emphasise it above, but for me the main point is the power that govt. actually has with its monopoly over money: they could tax the oligarchies and corpocracies off the page. What we are dealing with really, is the age-old ‘human problem’. There is ‘good’ and there is ‘bad’ in a human being – 50% of each – because we get to choose between them. The one that grows strongest and overpowers the other, thereby having supremacy over us, is the one we feed. This has nothing to do with religion or spiritually, culture or civilisation – just being human. We get to choose. And you wouldn’t know it, looking at this world, but humans actually like the good in them because it makes them feel happy.
For me, there is the skin of the earth and its resources, human intelligence, ingenuity and kindness – or its absence. Darkness is an absence of light – not an entity in itself. Hate is an absence of love. Without kindness, there is a void in a human being: ignorance, ego, greed, rush in to fill the void. This is the age-old human problem – the battle that goes on in every human mind; and spills out into the theatre of the world. Only the heart knows how to rise above this.
There is a power there for govt. to take command and apply the potential of money monopoly to public purpose and good. Money could be used to minister to mankind and the earth. Take care of the planet and all of its denizens. There is nothing, ever achieved by war that could not better have been achieved by peace.
Remember, it took the earth 4.6B years of evolution to produce humans, imperfect as we are. We are only 60,000 years out of Africa; 6,000 years for modern man – still evolving. We live in a quiet little galaxy in a quiet corner of the universe, rotating and orbiting in infinite space – spinning our narratives about reality. At the heart of our existence remain the enduring questions. What we are looking for is already inside of us. There is a seed inside every human heart that one day must germinate and grow. This, also, is a thread in human history. The rest, say people with this knowledge, is hypnotic, a play, a drama - a human distraction.
Still, we should play nicely. A power pyramid is not the problem: it’s being human is the problem. We have moved so far away from our own ‘good’ nature and keep making dumb choices; the same mistakes over and over again. Homo ‘sapiens’ huh! Slow learners – but things seem to be speeding up lately.
I hear your appeals, but not all humans have the potential to be 'good' to cultivate 'light' as you put it: lets call them 'psychopathic'.
For example, Laurent Guyénot introduces a powerful notion of a systemic psychopathy induced by a ‘cognitive virus’ transmitted over hundreds of generations, and that “Jewishness is the internalization of the psychopathic god”.
I agree it does not help us understand Israel pointing fingers at individuals like Netanyahu being a psychopath - but if “Jewishness is the internalization of the psychopathic god” is correct then by definition Netanyahu having internalised such a psychopathic code of behaviour, must then meet the threshold of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised, now the Psychopathy Checklist—revised (PCL-R) to be diagnosed as a psychopath!.
I wonder what solutions / cures / treatments such insights gained by critical analysis of this ‘cognitive virus’ may suggest?

@Natasha – have commented above, under your original - as the [Reply] button narrows the screen too much.
Enjoyed again, thanks Aleks. So enlightened. What do you think about Kiev's and Washington's plans to convert Ukraine into the new big Israel? Will be nice to hear your thoughts on that.
Thank you:))
You know my stance...
As soon as Ukraine's mobilization potential or its logistical sustainability is worn down Ukraine will fall as a state. Everything will go back to Russia.
What Russia will do with it and whether and how it will share the territory... I have no Idea.
My estimate is outlined here:

Good evening Aleks.
I wait some hours and read it twice, but I must confess you did not convince me, for three reason:
1. you cannot speak of a "Western" Oligarchy without an "Eastern" one (i.e. the BRICS currency look a lot like my nightmare than your dream);
2. STOP SAYING GERMANY IS A POWERHOUSE PLEAS IN THE NAME OF OUR FELLOW CHRISTIAN TRUE GOD: Germany is a failing Third World power that lived of cheap gas (North Stream) wage-dumping (Haartz reforms) and currency manipulation (€). It is a victim of its self delusion (the only country in the human history that lost 3 world wars in 3) not "American" malicy - and it is only delusion: no country in the world ever responded to a non-tariff import barrier (i.e. Dieselgate) by SELF-CASTRATING through mandatory dependecy on foreign resources and technology (EU Green Deal);
3. there is a ready-made solution for all this condrum: the DEPENDENT Central Bank (i.e. one that is at best a Minister/Undersecretary at worst an Agency). Yes, the FED bombed to death almost all of them, from French and Italian ones to the Arab ones (and those one literally), but it is really that simple.
Point 3, in particular, make me not much receptive of all.
Con immutata stima.
Hi Paolo,
thank you for your comment. I like it.
Here are some answers:
1) The next Economics and Empires article will be exactly about this topic. Wait and see :)) It will be at the same time the last Economics and Empires article.
2) I swear I have your voice always in the back of my mind when I write about Germany :) :)
Mi scusi, per favore.
Even though I partially agree, I still see that the Empire see Germany as highly important. I assume because of two facts. 1) Its geographical position. 2) One of the Oligarchs is/came from Germany.
3) Yes, I can agree with you on this.
Always appreciate your comments!
GM
1. so, i'll wait.
3. i humbly suggest you to study Bank of Japan: it is a curious example (a true Nihonjinron) of a CB that: (a) is dependant by statute - i swear, read it, is umbelivable (b) behave in a dependant way (c) is partially stock-traded (d) is ufficially not interested in CBDC.
2. AS IT SHOULD BE. That said, i dislike the whole "poor Cermanni" peana because, in the end, it is a squalid Dolchstoßlegende. The first one was that Weimar liberals betrayed a winning army: it was not, the army was defeated and the population starving; the second is the "Clean Wehrmacht legend" and i think i have not to explain it to a Serb; the third is that the USA backtabbed Germany: it works only if you belive Germany was "A DRU BAWERHAUS" and not a rotting example of a failing Ordoliberist regime.
