A gaping hole in the economic matrix
(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)
Stay with me on this one. You’ll see what the powers-that-be are really worried about.
You can roll up Bilderberg, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the World Trade Organization, NAFTA, and the several current trade treaties nearing completion… you can insert all these Rockefeller Globalist forces into one great corporate agenda, and…
There is a problem. A problem for Globalism. This is, behind the scenes, what the titans of control are whispering about.
It starts here: understand that mega-corporations are the instruments of world domination. They move into countries where cheap labor, land, and resources are abundant, and they take over. This is what they’re meant to do. This is the plan.
Intelligence agencies and armies may precede them, but the corporations are the most capable organizations on the planet, when it comes to exercising enduring control.
The top three or four hundred corporations are responsible for at least 25% of all world trade.
However… here is the rub. As Globalist policies allow corporations to shut down domestic factories in industrialized countries and open up those same factories in places where slave wages are the order of the day; as tariffs on imported goods are canceled, killing off businesses that try to compete with mega-corporations; as leading economies decline…
The consumer base for these mega-corporations shrinks.
To put it simply, the corporations sell products. They need buyers. All over the world.
The top manufacturing corporations are running their assembly lines at about half-capacity. They could produce much, much more of what they sell.
But only a tenth of the world population has the means to buy these products.
There are partial fixes for the problem: profit-making wars; sales of corporate products to governments; governments basically paying citizens so they can buy certain products. But, in the long run, that solution doesn’t cut it. The mega-corporations are still lacking consumers. You can create only so many artificial buyers. Beyond that, the market system irretrievably heads downward.
Mega-corporations have the potential to produce and sell more and more; the consumer base is shrinking.
Globalism, the very system that is determined to elevate the power of mega-corporations, is diminishing the number of people who can consume what the corporations make.
The snake has been eating its tail for some time now.
Mega-corporate CEOs and their advisors aren’t completely stupid. Some of them see the handwriting on the wall.
World Bank and IMF fixes aren’t going to make this problem go away.
Neither is some drastic depopulation program. That would be heading in the wrong direction. Fewer consumers.
What about a radical re-set involving a new global currency? Suppose, for example, every inhabitant of the planet were outfitted with a free credit card carrying substantial buying power? Theoretically, that might work, if you discount what people who actually earn a living are going to do when they see billions of their fellow humans who don’t work outfitted with comparable consuming power. And that rumbling class warfare would be just the stormy beginning of the trouble.
Creating money out of thin air to satisfy the avarice of banks, to pay off governments’ soaring debt, to boost corporate bottom lines is one thing. Creating money out of nothing to make six or seven billion brand new consumers is quite another thing. In that case, the corporate-welfare gifting would lead to pollution and destruction of the environment on a scale that makes current levels look like a few leaking picnic baskets on a Sunday park outing.
And over the course of several generations, populations would descend into a nightmare of side-by-side buying power and increased unemployment. If you think, psychologically speaking, that’s a marvelous idea, and would bring peace and contentment, you need a brain transplant.
There is another factor to consider: technological innovation. For mega-corporations, that means robots/machines replacing humans as employees. More unemployment—unless the corporations hold back and refrain from implementing the “automation revolution.”
The corporate thrust, however, is always about moving forward. More robots in the workplace. Bigger assembly lines. Higher production.
It turns out that the Globalist agenda has an expiration date. Beyond it, the system comes apart at the seams.
The normal solution to a problem of this magnitude is: think short-term; avoid the inevitable; pretend all is well; leave the answers to the next generation.
Consider how hard-charging greed-head mega-corporate masters would react to the following proposition: “Look boys, we know you have the ability to produce goods for two or three planets the size of Earth. But we want you to service only a tenth of one planet, and that base will shrink further. Okay? Don’t worry, be happy. Everything is fine.”
Behind every Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral conference, this is the specter that lurks in the shadows.
They’re not worried about escalating the level of their political control over populations. It’s the economics that don’t add up, no matter how many holes in the dam are temporarily plugged.
There is one extremely radical solution I haven’t mentioned. You could call it depopulation-repopulation. Via some vast plan, the numbers of people on Earth would be enormously reduced—and then over, say, the next hundred years or so, those numbers would be built up again with humans who, in some Brave New World fashion, are conditioned/programmed to be avid workers and consumers, who would be paid far more than a subsistence wage. These living androids/robots would satisfy the hunger of mega-corporations to produce and produce and sell and sell…
The multiple risks of trying a plan like that would amount to an open confession of an agenda so heinous it would create open-ended global revolution, from Tierra del Fuego to the North Pole.
Every present Globalist agenda-item does two things: a) it aims at tighter control of populations, and b) it enforces and progressively lowers a ceiling on mega-corporations. It reveals a future in which the number of those corporations will be drastically reduced. And that’s the rub. That’s the hidden factor.
Yes, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. But everyone who thinks that analysis is the core of the current crisis is looking no farther than the end of his nose.
Because the rich, up the road, will get poorer, too. They’ll sink in the Globalist swamp.
The mega-corporate leaders are ultimately on both the sending and the receiving end of a long con. It’s a con perpetrated by their own system, a system built to make them kings forever.
How little they know.
It turns out that decentralization of power, on every level, is more than just the hope and dream of a relative few. It’s a planet-wide imperative; and survival is at stake.
The greatest economic matrix ever devised is blowing its engine.

Great article but wholly inaccurate. These men don’t care what happens after so much as long as they create as much destruction in their wake. It’s just the way it is with wolves, they hunt and eat.
For a short time, 12 years ago, this was my reasoning process too. I came to realize there is a level of complexity in the rabbit hole that boggles the mind and we have to learn to think like “them” and that’s not easy because most of us can’t wrap our minds around that kind of psychopathy and, frankly, evil.
Since the endgame isn’t really fascism, it’s fine with TPTB that at some point the mega transnational corporations will be supplanted with something else that better serves their visions of Agenda 21 and Huxley-style Technocracy. Rappoport’s friend Austin Fitts may have the clearest model with her description of the elites’ notion of a “Breakaway Civilization” and surely it entails depopulation. It all fits.
I still think TPTB’s prison planet paradigm will unravel, but not for lack of consumers. Mother Nature will have the last word. Rappoport is spot on when he says decentralization is a planet-wide imperative. It’s the natural order and not work-camp imitation version they peddle.
Powers That Were.
This article is interesting and I widely share the author’s opinion. I will even add something to it:
http://thehummanblog.blogspot.fr/2014/11/wealth-and-power.html
Corporate schmorporate!
It is GOVERNMENT that our founders feared & warned us about & it is government that we should stay wary of.
Corporations essentially just want to sell us a car, shoes, a cheeseburger, a phone, guns & ammo or a tasty pizza.
Corporations thrive with a free populace who have disposable incomes.
On the other hand, our government wants you disarmed, they want it harder for you to buy ammo (not to reduce crime, but to reduce the threat to government), they also want us impoverished so that we’re more dependent upon them which gives them control & power over us.
It wasn’t “corporations” who launched those genocides in the 20th century, it was government.
Let us not get distracted by the leftwing, anti-market zealots.
I agree. Governments are equally bad and just as guilty as the corporations. But it couldn’t be more obvious by now that the governments are merely doing what they are lobbied to do by mega corporations. Control the money and you control it all. They even have people alternating positions from big banks and corporations(same thing essentially) to important political positions all the way to the top. That is a major conflict of interest yet it has been going on for quite some time.
That happens in all the major countries. Mega corporations are the means through which central banks achive most of their globalisation goals. They are the ones who create the conditions that ultimately leads nations into war and politicians are the cowards that allow them to happen, mostly because of what is in it for them.. and the banks finance them and make stupendous profits from the whole spectacle.
Good article!
I believe that those who would be worried are the ones who are just playing their parts as corporate officers who fully believe that things are what they seem. Same with almost all politicians, they are playing their parts in the system, most doing so poorly but nevertheless they believe in the system, unknowingly diligently working toward their own eventual demise.
The real power brokers, the cabal who are behind all of this have no worries at all as things are generally going to plan, not smoothly, not even to the timetable but what we are seeing globally is along the right lines for them.
What they never reckoned with though is the internet and human spirit, this will be their ultimate undoing and the people will eventually take back their power…….once they start understanding they have it.
A GIFT ECONOMY can destroy their satanic economic system and create abundance through:
-planting FREE FRUIT-TREES in parks, along roads… in a guerrilla way
-creating FREE services
-sharing & gifting
It can heal the world
Is it possible to leave out the ‘satanic’ crap, please? geez…
I hope all the corporations fall apart. They only serve the top board of directors – the rest of us are caught up in the ‘inflation’ pump and dump scam.
You are assuming the people in charge are sane and moral when neither is the case. The evidence that your basic assumption is flat out wrong is overwhelming. If you go high enough up they are a bunch of beyond psychotic Luciferians that ultimately want to destroy the planet right after they get off and go to another planet or are uploaded to some paradise world. At the very “top” (?) they are the ultimate parasites.
trigon500- Go back to watching Fox new schill !!!
ALL Governments are Corporations.
All US Citizens are Corporations.
The solution is STARING at you in the mirror.
Hmmm
I think you have missed the bigger picture. The ruling elite that control those 147 corporations that rule half the commerce in the world want to depopulate the planet. They already have accumulated enough wealth for 10, 000 lifetimes so declining sales just doesn’t matter to them. What does matter is depopulation. And one of the best ways to do it, is impoverish the masses. Poor people live much shorter lives, have a much higher mortality rate, and given the poison they are being feed are bearing fewer and fewer offspring with each new generation.
The other question I hear a lot is; who is going to do the work? In case people haven’t noticed robotics technology has quietly been growing by leaps and bounds. Within 20 years they just won’t need mass/cheap labor at all.
There is another way to save the customer base without starting a class war — zero interest. Zero usury. Zero cheating.
The world is ruled by compound interest. Start there and everyone’s purchasing power increases by a factor of ten. Well, everyone but the bankers…
Interesting comments. The PTB don’t care about anyone but themselves. Most of them are psychopaths which makes them extremely unstable and dangerous. We can hope for the best but expect the worst when it comes down to it. Have you not noticed that they are flooding the system with more issues to rise up and rebel against ? Ex. TPP,TPA,forced vaccinations,same sex marriage,transgenders,AI. We can go on and on. So many battles and no one wins the war. Scary times we be living in.
