Читать книгу A Simple Recipe for Stealing the Wealth of a Nation - Thomas DeForge - Страница 10

If you thought borrowing from your citizens and getting them to pay back the money they loan you was ingenious, you are going to love what inflation will do for your plan. Once again, in order to implement this ingredient, you must have nationalized your nation’s banking system and have total control of the money supply. Stay focused here because this is critical to increasing your profits while you steal the wealth of your nation. Inflation is the one ingredient that is critical to stealing huge amounts of your nations wealth. In fact if you could only use one ingredient for your plan, this is the one you should choose. I can not stress enough how important inflation is to your success. Every successful nation thief understands the importance of inflation in their recipe. You must protect it, nurture it and above all do whatever it takes to prevent any members of your nation from stopping it once you incorporate it. If you can successfully balance taxation, borrowing and inflation for a period of time, you will have a powerful recipe for a catastrophic depression. These three ingredients will allow you to successfully enslave the entire population’s labor over time. They will support you and actually call for the policies and regulations that you want to impose upon them. They will do this at an ever increasing rate until your depression roars into full swing. Once that occurs, many of them will awaken from their slumber and realize what you did to them, but it will be way too late. They will hate you, but they will realize that you are now a necessary evil in their lives. They will chirp like little birdies in a nest with their beaks pointed high in the air begging for any little crumb you are willing to share with them. (Provided of course that they are not armed, but we will discuss how to take care of that issue later).

Inflation is the act of printing currency with nothing but a philosophy to back it. In other words, if you need more money you fire up the printing presses and print more money. The end result of printing more money is that it will devalue both the new money and the old money in effect making it worth less. This will cause all other things in your nation’s economy to increase in price. It’s not that all those other things are actually going up in price because they are becoming more valuable, it is simply taking more of the newly printed devalued dollars to purchase them.

The benefit to you is that when you print the money, you use it to cover any spending that you couldn’t tax or borrow and since you are the creator of the inflation, you reap the most benefits. The majority of the devaluation isn’t realized until it trickles down to your citizens. This tool will allow you to spend at a much higher rate than ever before. Remember, your goal is to spend as much as possible. Spending will serve to control the economy allowing both you and your cohorts the ability to pillage from the public and amass great personal wealth. At the same time, spending will help you grow the poor dependent sector in order to ensure that you stay secure in your position. Spend, spend, spend, the end result will be that ever so subtly, over a period of time, you will reduce the wealth of your citizens, creating an environment in which it will cost them more to survive. They will seldom if ever blame this on you, because inflation will hide that fact. It just becomes a normal occurrence of life to them. When they walk into a store to buy a gallon of milk and that gallon has gone up a dime, or when a loaf of bread increases a nickel in price, they will never understand that you are the reason for that. They will all think that the milk and the bread has gone up in value never understanding that it has not. It just takes more of their devalued dollars for them to purchase the milk and bread. As time goes on they will get use to prices going up on everything they need to survive while you steal their ability to maintain their lifestyles, never realizing for a moment what inflation is and how you are using it to grow your government. What is so incredibly cool about the ingredient inflation, as time goes on and future generations are born into your system, it will be a normal way of life for them. They won’t even think to question either you or your future generations that you leave your system too. It will simply be the “new norm” so to speak. The masses will actually fall into a slumber of ignorance which will work in your favor for as long as you and yours continue to inflate their currency.

Once you get inflation incorporated into your plan, you will have the ability to create money to cover your spending when borrowing and taxing become politically unfeasible. You will be able to steal your nation’s wealth by taxing, borrowing and inflating. You will truly have the best three ingredients for creating a national depression.
