I’ve been following Slavko Kulić’s takes on the situation here in the States for a while now.
The guy describes himself more as a philosopher than an economist (though he’s actually a pretty sharp economist), and he views politicians as a lower class of human being altogether. He’s got a pretty apocalyptic outlook on our future, especially regarding our role in the global landscape.
To me, he seems like one of the few people with enough guts to actually think critically out loud. In a society filled with bureaucrats and a largely uninformed public, his warnings don't seem to carry much weight.
I’m going to pull out some of his points regarding us and where we’re headed, so I’m curious to hear what you all think...
- How we got screwed—Kulić pointed out that before the IMF pushed for the privatization of the banking system, critics argued the U.S. had an inefficient, fragmented sector with fifty different banks. Today, we have forty-eight banks, almost all foreign-owned, with just a few insignificant exceptions. Back then, the national debt was five billion dollars; today, it’s eleven times larger. So, how exactly did private banking, supposedly a necessary component of a healthy economy, actually help us?
- Just as we can’t seem to swallow the idea of a real purge of old corrupt officials, we’ve inherited the exact same mentality from them—the same existential and spiritual foundation that, according to Kulić, is driving us toward the same ruin that swallowed America.
- Kulić is horrified by the fact that through Congress, laws are being smoothly passed that turn the country into a mere province of a larger entity—laws that nobody has even looked at or read, yet everyone raises their hand in favor. It’s as if the entire nation has been systematically lied to for years under the guise of negotiating entry into a larger union.
- The financial oligarchy, focused solely on protecting capital, is becoming ruthless through institutions like aggressive debt collection. This process has already begun nationwide, which means none of us will be spared from paying off things we didn't even spend ourselves. It’s a blueprint for achieving "managed freedom" and total control over consumer spending.
- By joining this artificial association with the current policies and behavior of the government, we aren't entering as participants, but as objects.
- By late 2011, we’ll see a bankruptcy of both the state and individual households because interest rates and exchange rates will climb. Everything we own is losing value daily while the dollar gets stronger. If you have a house on a mortgage, that house becomes worth less and less while your interest payments rise. We’re heading for a crash; we failed to realize that living on debt strips away our right to choose freedom and democracy, because we essentially chose servitude instead.
- Now, when we talk about the economy, the question is: what is actually "ours" if we are sitting in a zone of capital insolvency? A state where principal and interest are dictated by capital and our assets lose their worth. What can we even call ours if we don't even have the ability to calculate our consolidated debt?
- And the big "what if"—What happens if the global powers that constructed this union decide to split apart? Our political leadership acts as nothing more than executors of foreign directives... Remember all those stories about massive investments, increased production, higher exports, and a better quality of life?
The synthesis is this: are we a rudderless society without any strategy or vision, rushing blindly into a globalist structure as an object of someone else's interests, losing our sovereignty, facing demographic collapse, and becoming slaves to the debts we took on to fund the lifestyles we once enjoyed?!?
