Dr. David Kaiser History Unfolding I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely si More..ngle facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it.. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two. We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why?

That is correct.
It’s still pretty good.
Especially this part:
si More..ngle facetsseems like I hear it everywhere I go these days.
The goal is to destroy the economy and institute some form of communism, but in a way that keeps people motivated to keep going to work. That’s always been the cause of failure in other communist nations. Once the profit motive is gone, and all people are lowered to a subsistence level of living, they stop trying. Then production falls below the subsistence level and the trouble begins. They need to keep us working hard as they gut our economy and destroy our future.
Our manufacturing base has already been redistributed to other nations. Now the economy is shedding as many non-essential jobs as it can. The end result will be a third world nation (or nations) that is no longer a shining example to the world of the power of the individual.
I tell people this thing is like the guy in that Monty python movie where you can see him coming towards your castle gate but he never seems to get closer. The camera keeps showing the concerned faces, then the guy charging, the faces, the guy charging, with no progress. And suddenly he is there slicing and dicing the guards with his sword.
I was at a favorite pub-restaurant this morning and we were talking about business. She said the last couple of years have been tough for everyone but they were plugging through and even seeing bright spots.
And then the last few weeks things went into the toilet out of nowhere.
When it hit’s this is the sort of thing it will start with. This really could be it. At any rate, it is not about if. It is about when.
She = the owner.
Yes - but not written by David Kaiser or any historian. At least none that have claimed credit for the piece.
The message needs to get out and more people discussing what is going on the better.
