We are buying a house, a lovely home and enough land to provide privacy, space, and room for vegetable gardens. With this new home we will raise chickens, geese, rabbits, and maybe a goat or two. With this new home we will be semi-independent by growing some of our own food, creating things to barter, and being free from the incessesent glitter and cacaphony of suburban living.
But there is a price. As citizens of the American Empire we are forced into institutionalized bribery and egregious usury, followed by imprisonment in a financial system that controls our access to home, food, water, and income.
Our loan documents show an interest rate of 6.7%. This is an imaginary number drawn up by accountants to disguise the true costs of our loan. It is a fiction. It is a fiction that everybody involved with the home loan process knows is fiction. Better said, it is a lie that everybody knows is a lie. It is a lie ginned up to play the 'game' of home finance. For example, lets say our loan is $300,000 but our interest rate is $350,000 on top of this principal. Total we will owe $650,000 for our property. You can play games with number all you like; 6.7%, 7.1%, whatever, but the truth is that we will pay over 120% interest on our loan. That is the truth. Everybody in this transaction knows this, and everybody knows that this level of interest is more than we would pay if we would have borrowed the money from Tony Soprano. What is more, is that each of these people probably had to pay the same outrageous interest rate as we do, yet they still participate, like a judas goat.
The Home Finance racket in the American Empire is one of unashamed theft and plunder. Legalized. The banks went to their favorite politicians, gave them outrageous amounts of money, and demanded that laws be written forcing citizens to pay bribery money to them for the dubious honor of getting a loan. The politicians wrote the law, passed it, and now each of us is condemned to squander our hard earned money to these crooks. Theft with a ballpoint pen. When you buy a house and have to get a Bank Loan to do so, you are trapped in a system of fees and charges that you cannot escape.
On a macro-level, the politicians and bankers like this system because it not only provides guaranteed wealth to the banks, and pocket money to the politicians, but it also is an effective means of social control. It creates 'wage-slaves' of the American People.
Unlike slavery in the past, where the slave owner had to supply food, shelter, clothing, and meager medical care to his slaves, the slaveowners in this society (The Wealthy Elite in business, finance, and politics) have none of these expenses. In the American Empire you citizens are expected to work your ass to the bone, have your wages become worth less and less, and become ensyared in a society that see's debt as the answer to your problems, not the problem itself. Wh To live in the American Empire costs a lot of your money, most of your time, and all of your soul. Plus, by the burden of staggering debt, slaves are held without the need of whips or chains. If you want a decent place to live, then surrender to staggering financial debt and a life long commitement to employment you cannot quit, probably doing some job that just bores you senseless.
Understand this, you cannot fight a system that locks you into that system. Put another way, you cannot fight a jail cell from inside the cell. You must be on the outside to have any power. Consumer debt is the primary means of imprisionment in this country. As long as you owe 'Them' (Banks;Government,financial institutions) you will dance to their tune because they can deny you further credit. And there goes your life.
We are driven into debt to buy/expect the things we are persuaded to buy/expect by the companies that make the things and create the expectations.
Fucken weird I tell ya.
