This is what I see; this is the story I tell to explain why I do what I do. I'm going to oversimplify on purpose, because I'm trying to paint a background picture that doesn't require a lot of precision. It echoes things I've said before.
You've probably seen my link to The Cult, several pages explaining the history of how Satan has established a close following among world political leaders. It's not a bunch of people consciously congregating as a distinct group, but an outline of what they share as a distinct influence in human government. It's more about the net effect, not so much a conscious intent. Here I want to discuss the primary means to influencing and controlling how governments work. You don't have to buy into this; I'm just telling you where I'm coming from when I try to explain what I see going on in the world today. This explains some of my decisions.
The primary means of control over human politics is debt. There is no legal authority, no secret cabal of ancient hereditary rulers, no secret council of masters of the world; there is only a bunch of bankers with varying reasons for being involved in banking. Quite of few did inherit their position; nepotism is rife in banking. But however it is they got into their position, the only real power they have is debt. That is, they control the debts of the world as the means to control human behavior across a very wide spectrum. Their aim is to protect the system that feeds their power and wealth.
In the final analysis, you don't own any property. Everything you have that isn't part of your soul can be legally confiscated or stolen -- "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth," our Lord said. Be the treasure; live the treasure. All so-called currency is just a debt slip. Every US dollar in circulation in this world is borrowed value, legally owed to the Federal Reserve Bank, which is a privately owned central bank. Every other currency (with few exceptions) in the world is based on the same thing; it constitutes a loan from some central bank. The various legal entities borrowing the money works out to be the representative governments of the people. So there is this conception that the people owe the banks all the presumed value behind the currency. The agency tasked with paying that debt, should the loans be called in, will be the various governments. These governments have the law and weaponry necessary to enforce collection on the debts.
There is an ad hoc sense in which a government's hands are tied should they not actually be able to collect as the agents of the banks (due to effective resistance), but this is the concept. The governments are beholden to the banks as their collection agents. In other words, the banks can tell the governments what to do. If the governments reject orders from the banks, the former can lose their credit rating and all access to liquidity is gone. The system grinds to a halt and the government can't pay the troops and bureaucrats. It's vaguely possible a big enough country can cut themselves off from the banking system, but that means an awful lot of export-import trade halts. It requires an awful lot of wheeling and dealing with trade partners to get around this problem. Some countries are doing this already on a small scale. There are plans for some big countries to do it on a larger scale.
This international banking system is being challenged by rival banking systems. It's an insider challenge. There's a bit of schizophrenia here, because the existing banks in those countries are partly involved in this. Still, it's starting to work. That's because everyone is familiar with the system and it's just a matter of one bunch of bankers pulling away from the rest, because they can and because it offers a better deal for them. They still keep their hands on the debt, but with a requirement to work more closely with the governments (AKA, collection agencies). It requires the breakaway bankers to be more loyal to the government and less to the old global banking empire.
The smart governments involved in this are also paying off their old debts. The stupid ones are only pretending to pay them off. This leads to some natural instability in the system, which was already unstable before. Further, the breakaway folks aren't totally broken away. There is still a strong connection, if not directly through the banks, then through the long established international corporations, which is another factor in this system. They are an odd hybrid of banking and government functions mixed together, with increasing power that seeks to assert a claim to ownership in such a way as to hijack government authority in limited ways. I won't chase that too far right now, but keep your eye on that. Giant corporations serve to weaken the entire political system, in part because the bankers prefer them over traditional sovereign states.
Meanwhile, we have this fundamental problem that using debt as money means eventually the liquidity of the whole system dries up. A precious few folks will catch on and simply opt out of the debt-based economic growth. This refusal to take on debt weakens the system. But in the majority of cases, the debt load becomes too big, and the ability to continue participating in the economic flow ends because all the available resources are absorbed in servicing the debt. In other words, people and companies and governments are so deep in debt they can't pay keep doing what they do. The banks have been struggling to offer new debt at near-zero interest rates to keep it flowing, but the system itself has limits that simply can't be overcome. The various debtors -- individuals, companies and governments -- default.
The banks do not want to seize property. They try to auction it off, but the pool of buyers is shrinking because they are all bound up in excess debt. The governments are forced to manage this to some degree, but there are distinct practical limits on that, too. Governments have no use for more than a small margin of seized property, especially the larger governments. Owning all the physical property won't solve any problems, because everything about this whole system rests on consumer debt. Without high consumption, there is no economic activity, and everyone is reduced to subsistence activities. Think about Venezuela on a global scale. Not every country has their peculiar problems, but it's a picture of economic collapse. When the debts are unpayable, the whole country defaults and the means of trade is gone. Such a country will have to fall back on internal resources as an economic island, and it depends on the wisdom of government to make it work -- or not.
The bankers will struggle to prevent this cancer of collapse from spreading across the West. They will take some major losses, but only because it's the way to stay in power. Still, their losses will be significant, and those losses will affect the whole international system. The various governments will react differently and maps will change. The giant transnational corporations will be affected. Different agencies will seize opportunities and others will come apart completely. It's impossible to estimate many cases, in part because of the way it all ties them together. This is when we can expect globalist agencies to try seizing power, though probably with a lot of public relations persuasion. I suspect they will all fail because they are incapable of all coming together for a common cause.
There is no globalist entity capable of pulling off global government. The bankers would prevent it in any case, because their power rests on conflict and debt. They are the primary cause of all military conflict, because nothing builds debt faster. If all the various national governments collapse into one, bankers will no longer be the single biggest cohesive group. They will lose their advantage. This is already threatened with breakaway banking and trade systems. Banks don't have the means to exert force directly, so it's all a matter of diplomacy and leverage. There are too many competing parties. Don't fear a global government, even if it looks like something is pulling together. It's unlikely to ever be any stronger than the UN, a goofy advisory body whose power rests entirely on big sponsors, big sponsors who play along only when it's to their advantage.
