The Economic Differences between Negative Economic Models of Globalism, Socialism, and Communism and Positive Economic Model of Structurally-Regulated Capitalism

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

________________________________

Negative versus Positive Economic Theories encompass the following tenets:

Negative Economic Models are Globalism, Crony Capitalism (Fascism), Socialism, Communism, Government Mandates and Taxes, and Central Banks with their Debt Expansion, Interest Rate Hikes, and Trickle Down Economics.

Essentially this type of negative economic model equates to micromanagement of the monetary system. Too many hands in the pot extracting the wealth from the Middle Class creates stagnate growth. Socialism, Communism, and Central Bank models suffer from the same impotence as the Corporate Crony Capitalism model of economic Fascism. Together these economic policies make up the bulk of the failure attributed to Globalism.

Globalism is the corporate governance model strictly controlled by unelected bureaucrats through stringent over-regulation. These bureaucrats steal the energy of labor and return nothing to the economy. Profits are always sent upward where the money is cut off from use as economic development. That leads to the collapse of currencies.

While the monetary system’s volatility is incrementally decreased, corporations increase their demands on government to control the input and output of small businesses. This lowers competition, thus creating monopolies (e.g., Too Big To Fail, Big Pharma, and Big Tech), and then the multinationals profiteer through rigging the market value of goods and services. As their market shares inhibit growth, the only way these robber barons can see to increase shareholder profits is to price gouge consumers.

In this negative economic model, the government also over-regulates by passing laws mandating consumers to buy from certain markets be it automobile, house, or health insurance. These mandates prop up industries that would otherwise fail when the People would elect not to purchase them. The law creates a negative incentive and therefore a guaranteed profit for a poor corporate business model. This model can also be extended to include mandates like Lightrail, Green Technology, Sports Stadiums, and the privatization of public institutions like vouchers for private schools and the bad deals created by public-private partnerships. Basically these mandates are economic corporate welfare that take money out of circulation and harm the Middle Class.

The government also mandates consumers to pay property taxes and licensure fees (e.g., cars and business) to sustain an over-bloated budget brought on by tax avoiding multinational corporate monopolies. Without the megacorporations funding mutually beneficial projects like infrastructure and services (e.g., police, fire), cities and states are driven farther into debt. The fees then are increased onto the populace, thus creating another vacuum in the currency markets.

What happens? Stagnation. Contraction. Recession. Depression.

The Central Banks' model of debt growth is negative growth. Cycles of busts, bubbles, and booms create the illusion of volatility. Busts and booms extract the wealth from the economy until there is no job, wage, or economic growth of any kind. Busts and booms are the real theft from the Middle Class as real assets (i.e., land, businesses, and resources) are bought up by the wealthy when the Middle and Lower Classes go bankrupt with fiat debts.

The Central Banks also do this theft from the Middle Class through quantum easing and interest rate hikes. Quantum easing is flooding the market with debt. Debt cannot grow into positive territory therefore debt squanders growth opportunities through the inflationary cycle. The Central Banks use the inflationary cycle to stomp on economic growth through interest rate hikes. Each hike negates the gains of the economy to pay off debt by creating more debt. This monetary and economic theory is unsustainable.

The economic engine for this negative economic model becomes wars and the black market. So Globalism increases and directs profits, mandates, taxes, and budgets to the areas of defense spending, private/mercenary contractors, and trafficking across the board as a feedback loop to sustain itself. Illegal migration is pushed to relocate undesirable populations from corporate arenas. A well done Structurally-Regulated Capitalism is blamed for the slow descent from corporatism to monopolies onto socialism and straight into communism when in fact the plunge is engineered.

Since the turn of the century, the Central Banks have relied on wars as well as human, drug, and sex trafficking to balance out their books. The negative economic model of micromanaging the currency has led to a near collapse of the entire world’s economy. Hard currency lives in the form of land and other physical assets. Whereas the populace transacts in fiat currency (i.e., Federal Reserve Notes in the USA) backed by nothing but their servitude (e.g., labor).

As the world spirals downward with their economies and monetary systems, the Central Banks need to keep control of the restless masses through social constrictions like socialism and communism. With the destruction of manufacturing and industry in competitive markets in order to support anemic economies like Communist China, the First World populace is led into four areas of prearranged economic availability: military, service jobs, government/education, and drugs/crime. There is little else for the people to do to survive or cope with the economic terrorism that has befallen them.

The push from politicians then becomes adopting the failed ideals of Socialism so that Globalism sees no real challenge. The People are promised free education, healthcare, and other services that never come to fruition. Social discord is maintained at the street level. The pecking order of the strong over the weak undermines civility as the masses turn into asses. Street gangs, thugs run communities. Controlled opposition groups like ANTIFA become the regulators of the elite economic class and squelch resistance. Unruly mobs demand adherence to whatever social idiocy of the day (i.e., Political Correctness, Social Justice triggers, Social Scores, and rioting). Dissidents (e.g., Independent Media, Conservatives, Libertarians, and Patriots) are corralled into electronic gulags where freedoms, rights, and responsibilities are weighted by the mob mentality to silence them.

Further down the line Communism then reigns as everything else has collapsed around the People. Communism like Socialism in Venezuela does not grow, this market construct ends with economic implosion because there is no infusion of capital through investment, innovation, and the diversity of ideas. As with micromanaged individuals, economies flounder under the immense contraction of this over-reaching regulatory and social imperialism.

That means the bulk of the monetary system gets siphoned off to the top earners leaving the bottom 99.99% without a currency market. Without positive money, the economy keeps being disassembled piece by piece. Wages stagnate. Opportunities decline. Jobs disappear.

All by design.

This negative model can never produce wealth for the majority of individuals in an economy. The Soviet Union, Venezuela, and Cuba are prime examples of this apparent and repeated Communistic/Socialistic economic failure. The top 1% of the 1% control the social, economic, and health of 99.99% of everyone underneath them who barely subsist on garbage.

In the end, the country under communism or socialism has control of the population but the failed economic policies plunder more than the collective wealth; it decimates creativity, energy, and motivation of the populace. People are used and abused. There is little to no engagement by the individual in the policies of their government.

That is historical fact.

And why Globalism was a failure before the idea even got off the ground.

Positive Economic Model is Structurally-Regulated Capitalism

Support VDPG
This model is individual driven. The individual creates small business that produces local economies, which is the backbone of positive economic growth and consumer confidence. The only regulation from the government is a structural regulation to keep a level playing field for all to grow without micromanagement or the mountain building of monopolistic power.

When the markets are open, most of the money flow converges into the middle 50% of the economy. That is the Middle Class. The currency is then volatile. Money exchanges multiple hands, several times a day. After everyone in the market has touched the money in one form or another, the profits flow upward from individuals, small businesses, to corporations and then onto government, but the bulk of the money stays in the Middle Class.

Individuals like proteins are the building blocks of economic security and prosperity. Individuals invest in other individuals who then create small businesses with that capital. Profits lead to corporations. Small businesses should comprise 80+ percent of the corporate creation of employment and market volatility. That keeps the markets from seizing up. Individuals are free to choose products and occupations. Corporations must incentivize individuals with high wages and good benefit packages. Profits increase at every level. Economies are stable with long durations of sound economic growth without busts, bubbles, and booms.

Support VDPG
In an individualistic society, no one lives on a corporate plantation (i.e., corporate towns, campuses, and HOAs) where most of the money goes directly into the hands of these monopolies. People are free. People are productive. People are treated as consumers and not life long renters.

Until the monetary system has a common sense structurally regulated framework in place where multinationals are paying in taxes as much as individuals and small businesses are, monopolies are broken apart, the currency is backed by actual resources (e.g., gold, silver, and the like) and the economy allows for the free flow of money to circulate in the Middle Class, Globalism like Communism and Socialism will continue to destroy communities, cities, states, and nations around the world.

The solution to global recessions and depression is wealth creation at the individual, local level, and not dreaming of the nightmare scenario of the predictable retraction of collectivism.

Federal Reserve Century Marked by Booms, Busts, and Fraud

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
News / Economics
______________________________________

As of December 23rd, 1913, the Federal Reserve was created by an act of Congress. "The House passed the bill 298-60 on the evening of Dec. 22, 1913.3 The Senate began debate the following day at 10am, and passed it 43-25 at 2:30pm.4" Later, "President Wilson signed the Currency Bill into law in an 'enthusiastic' public ceremony on Dec. 23, 1913."

Unfortunately for the American people, the Federal Reserve was created constitutionally. Even though approved by Congress, the Federal Reserve has not been the best policy in regards to our economic and national security.

In the article "On The 100th Anniversary Of The Federal Reserve Here Are 100 Reasons To Shut It Down Forever," the website, The Economic Collapse, outlines how the Federal Reserve has repeatedly failed the United States. 

But as a simple synopsis, the article states:
Since the Federal Reserve was created, there have been 18 recessions or depressions, the value of the U.S. dollar has declined by 98 percent, and the U.S. national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger.  
The question becomes: why is the United States dependent on this private institution instead of making its own currency? Congress is supposed to: 
Article I Section 8
To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;
Why in the world was the Federal Reserve ever created? In light of the Federal Reserve's terrible track record, why is the United States still tied to this private institution?

Many Americans are asking the same question: why? Capitol Hill is remiss to answer.

The United States faces many challenges. We have wars, terrorism, and a police state. All of which could be eliminated by placing the National Security of the United States above the need for foreign banks and bankers. 

Without an endless supply of fiat money that is no more relevant than children's play money produced on the computer and printed out on their parent's desk, the United States would not be able to: create endless wars, invade sovereign nations to seize their natural resources, maintain black operations sites and prisons (like Gitmo) to create terrorists, or give out billion dollar no-bid military contracts.

Nevermind, we just found out why.

The Economics of a Real Life Monopoly Game

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Economics / Government
______________________________________

Well the bets are in: it looks like another down turn for the economy after the first of the year according to a Reuters article: 
"There may come a point where the financial markets say none of their debt is credible anymore and they can't finance themselves," Eugene F. Fama, one of the three Americans who won this year's Nobel prize, told Reuters in the snow-covered Swedish capital, where he will receive his prize on Tuesday. "If there is another recession, it is going to be worldwide."
Let me get this straight. The unbacked, fiat currencies the world uses at the behest of global banking syndicates to inflate money, cause devaluation, and create mountains of debt is not credible and unable to finance the world?

Get that Peace Prize out of your ear, a third grader could have told us that. It's called: Monopoly. It's a board game with fake money to pay for cars, land, buildings, and sometimes to get you out of jail. Sound familiar?

It's exactly what has been happening in the world for decades. Some group of disturbed individuals has decided that globalism is the way to go for economics, law, and education. In the 1980's as China was in a recession and Japan was in a deep depression for over a decade, the US seemed impervious to their economic decline.

Thanks to treasonous "Trade Agreements" and "Treaties," the US has seen it's economic powerhouse dissolve into the Wall Street Gambling Casino, To Big To Fail Bank Drug Laundering Establishments, and the Military-Industrial Complex No Bid Contract Schemes.
 
In the article, Money Laundering and The Drug Trade: The Role of the Banks. We discover that "HSBC, Western Union, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase&Co, Citigroup, Wachovia amongst many others have allegedly failed to comply with American anti-money laundering (AML) laws."
  
Viewpoint: How Wall Street Rigs the Game by Time Business and Money stated that:
Also consider where the gambling takes place. In a real casino, it is on a casino floor with cameras all over the place. Even if you don’t like Las Vegas gambling, it is regulated. On Wall Street, by contrast, the gambling can be moved to a darkened room where nothing is recorded, observed or tracked. With opaque unregulated derivatives, there are no cameras. In this smoke-filled room, there is maximum temptation to try to exploit unsophisticated investors and conflicts of interest. And this temptation and lack of transparency are what led to the global financial crisis in 2008.
(Tell the Truth: you thought I was making the news up, didn't you? Sorry, just the facts.)

So the whole wide world with no economic boundaries to stop devastating collapse of monetary systems and nations is unsustainable? Yep, just like sustainability itself. The globe is a giant game of Monopoly to a few elites. With Geitner and other oligarchic cronies pushing other countries to deregulate their banking and housing laws prior to the 2008 collapse, the game was set.

However, unlike the elites, many people could not hedge their bets. People lost their homes, their possessions, and their livelihoods. Everything.

What's worse is that this economic globalist catastrophe was done on purpose. Someone needs to go to jail. Let's rephrase that: Lots of people need to go to jail.

In Monopoly like in this current fascist reality, these criminals keep producing the "Get out of Jail Free" card.

The cure for continued economic duplicity and terrorism: no more adhering to "Trade Agreements" or "Treaties" that do not hold protectionist clauses for America, her workers, or her economic stability. No more gambling of people's money through Wall Street. No more laundering drug money via banks. No more money goes to the Pentagon until someone learns to add and subtract.

It is a very rudimentary formula. Any economist would understand it, even one who has won the Noble Peace Prize. Well so did our President and he kills women and children near daily in other countries via drones. Therefore, little hope can be bestowed on anyone to mitigate the coming economic depression of 2014.

Instead of implementing real solutions, we will praise our American economists for their shiny new toys. Meanwhile back in the states, Americans will have their pensions looted and their homes foreclosed on. It's just another day in AmeriKa.

Don't you wish we could go back to a time before the egomaniacs hell bent on global domination gained control of our nation?
