Maybe They're Just Idiots And They're Screwing Up Everything

At the American Over-Thinker, there's this piece about how a cabal of Elites might be manipulating national economies for their own gain.

What if these stated goals are merely talking points meant to justify a central bank's continued monopoly over a nation's creation of money, and the true objective of any central bank is to maximize wealth for the wealthiest economic players?  Central banks, after all, are usually institutionally independent from government interference.  They are private firms managed by the world's financial elite.  How might a central bank pursue a hidden agenda to grow the wealth of its friends at the public's expense?

Well, that might be true in the short run. In the long run, their nation-states will look somewhat like this.

Look, a person still has to live somewhere. When the nefarious Elites finish sucking the blood from their countries, they will live ... where? In France where the Muslims are having their very own George Floyd moment? In San Francisco which is up to its eyeballs in drug addicts and crime? In Chicago where they can fall asleep to the sounds of diversity, err, gunfire?

Please, just stop with these thought-pieces. There is no plan.

(P)redictions about the future are impossible, not because the rules have changed, but because there are no longer any rules at all...

KT's Moral Chaos Hypothesis: People with power, whether that is economic, political or (para-)military, lost their Christian moral foundations a while back. They're only now realizing that a majority of the population has lost them as well. That means that all bets are off. There are absolutely no boundaries to behavior any more. Money, sex, power, it's all up for grabs and you'd be a fool not to take what you want.

Not KT's Moral Chaos Hypothesis: There is no cabal of the powerful guiding anything in any direction in particular. It looks like that from time to time because the interests of some subset of the powerful align temporarily and they all pull in the same direction. Instead, it's all Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX everywhere.

Of course, I go on in that post and elsewhere to make all kinds of predictions about the future, so your mileage may vary. 

How about this as a mutation of my Moral Chaos Hypothesis: Any plan being enacted by the Cabal is doomed to be short-lived as the fruits of The Plan destroy the fixed assets and human capital of their societies.

Maybe they're not super brilliant. Maybe they're just idiots and they're ruining everything for everyone, including themselves.

Now that you've made your gazillions, I've got this great piece of property for you. It’s a little gloomy, but we could probably work wonders with just a few geraniums.

The members of the Cabal will have to live somewhere. Eventually, even the Ivy Leaguers will see what's happening.

I listened to an interview with a republican Minnesota state legislator. He talked about his democrat associates. He said, they truly believe what they are doing is beneficial and the failure is do to something else, or that they just didn't go far enough.

As to a cabal in general. I would like to be convinced that we are not being ruled over by a star chamber. But so much tells me that we are. Biden's lights are on, but nobody is home. There is example after example of him going off script or reading everything on the teleprompter. Dianne Feinstein not even knowing she wasn't at the capitol. Ruth Bader Ginsburg not retiring when there was no way she could be serving at any capacity. Nancy Pelosi's absolutely hilarious hypocrisy about Clarence Thomas and term limits.

I am becoming a believer in term limits. An age limit for Judges, President, VP, Senators, and Representatives. Maybe 10 terms for Representatives, 3 terms for Senators. 70 for Judges, President, VP? And no Grandmother clause for Nancy.

But then, that would probably make the cabal/star chamber more likely.

The story on GL, I referenced a couple entries back, talks extensively about the end of the age of Christendom.
