Pyramid robbers

July 20, 2011 Avtandil Tsuladze

Will there be a US default or not? Will the "pyramid" of the dollar collapse or can you play for some time for some time? Highly paid financial analysts and other serious comrades have no answers to these entertaining questions yet. But the satirist M. Zadornov in his Egyptian Nights program expressed a very accurate thought: "There were always those who built the pyramids, and those who robbed them." This idea needs to be revealed, as they say.

The pyramids were the basis of Egyptian civilization. The construction of the state, religious sphere, and politics were tied to construction. When the state fell into decay, the pyramids began to rob. There was no one to build them and nothing. The construction ceased to be sacred - in the Egyptian gods and the pharaohs representing them no longer believed. Only gold was valuable, stored in the confusing labyrinths of the once sacred structures.

The “Pyramid principle” is the basis of many civilizations. We will not go into cultural wilds and dwell on two examples - Soviet and American. Both civilizations built their “pyramids”. The Soviet pyramid greatly resembled Egyptian. The state declared “great construction sites”, and the whole country was mobilized to implement the party plans. The "priests" of the system provided ideological pumping of the population. The country's daily life was organized in such a way as to ensure the uninterrupted construction of the “pyramids”. It is not surprising that the process has become an end in itself, and along with the necessary objects, a lot of unnecessary ones was built. Ultimately, the same thing happened with the Soviet system as with the Egyptian - the construction of Pyramids began to absorb more resources than the country could provide. The system of "red pharaohs" collapsed.

Liberal monetarists began to optimize the “Soviet inheritance”. Products that did not bring profits were declared unnecessary, profitable enterprises were distributed “their own” as the treasures of the Egyptian pyramids. The twentieth anniversary of the new Russia, which falls for this year, is the twentieth anniversary of the era of robbers of the Soviet Pyramid. Their power was all this time legitimate, since the system of “red pharaohs” went bankrupt economically and ideologically, and the robbery of the “pyramids” turned out to be extremely exciting.

But there is a “free world” and its leader in the United States. Everything is different there! And yes, and no. The American "pyramid" is arranged differently than the Soviet one. The basis of American power is the “pyramid” of the dollar. In its current form, this “pyramid” arose after the abdication of the Americans from the “gold standard”. Until that moment, the USSR and the United States went in parallel courses, and then no one could definitely predict whose would take. If you study the publications of those years, it turns out that many preferred the Soviet system. The United States was the most industrialized power of the world. Before World War II, about 50% of world GDP was produced in America. The power of the USSR is the power of the most dynamically developing industrial power of the world. The rates of industrialization were so high that simple extrapolation in time brought American capitalists into awe: if it goes further, the Soviets will furnish the United States in the foreseeable perspective (the United States is now experiencing similar “Soviet Project” fears in a more modernized version).

The US refusal of the Golden Standard fundamentally changed the situation and the alignment of forces. The competition in the field of cast iron smelting and became meaning. Under R. Reagan, a simple concept won: America can afford to increase the state debt, without risking to undermine its economy. On the contrary, the Pyramid of State debt stimulated the development of the American economy. The dollar as a global payment tool made it possible to carry out cunning financial fraud - to increase the power of the US economy due to the resources of other countries.

This strategy brought success: the “pyramid” of the dollar brought down the Soviet “pyramid”. The Cold War was won. But what to do next with this victory? And in the USA, the era of "Pyramid robbers" also came. Under Bill Clinton, it was possible to reach a surplus budget. But the oligarchy, which formed during the Cold War, was unhappy with such a Skuruperdy policy. Why is it tiny if, having such a powerful instrument as a dollar in your hands, you can disperse the entire world economy, getting super -profits? Clinton was discredited with the help of Monicaeagite.

With Bush-Ml. The former team of Reagan began to act in the same spirit as during the Cold War. The attacks of September 11 came in handy. Under the flag of the fight against terrorism, the state -owned machine began to unwind even faster than under Reagan - there was no longer a restraining factor in the face of the USSR. The Americans began to rob the "pyramid", which allowed them to defeat their main enemy. One of the main indicators of the state of the American and world economics for investors was the American consumer activity index. Simply put, the more American "shop -GOBLICS" consume, the faster the world economy is growing. Lands the "shopaholics" the whole world.

The disadvantage of the "pyramids" is that it is impossible to increase them endlessly. Any “pyramid” has its own peak, followed by a decline and collapse of the entire system. The crisis of 2008 became this “peak”. But “pyramid robbers” can no longer stop. The actual power in their hands, which was clearly demonstrated by the example of D. Strauss-Kan, who considered such a financial policy of Dead Eligation. The new Director of the IMF K. Lagarde hastened to call the United States to show responsibility and increase the bar of the state debt by a couple of trillion. In the US Congress, democrats and republicans are trading with each other about the conditions under which the existence of the dollar “pyramid”. But all these are temporary measures.

The only chance for the United States in this situation is to put a paw on the raw materials reserves of other countries. When the Egyptian pharaohs lacked money to build the pyramids, they unleashed wars with neighboring states. The loot went to the further development of the Pyramid Economics. According to the same scheme, American "pharaohs" are forced to act. The destabilization of the Middle East is aimed at changing local elites to managed managers who will open access to the raw materials of the region to Americans. The US understands that the inflatable dollar “pyramid” has exhausted itself. If the money does not have security in the form of gold or something else, then sooner or later such a “mmm” will collapse. It is no coincidence that R. Zelelik called to think about returning, at least partially, to the “gold standard”. The record increase in gold prices and precious metals is completely explained - investors are looking for ways to reliably protect their capital. But the Golden Standard will not provide the necessary economic dynamics. But it will provide oil. The growing consumption of raw materials in the world makes this product the basis of the world economy. De facto dollar is already tied to oil-oil prices and the “weight” of the dollar are inversely dependent: oil is getting more expensive-the dollar is getting cheaper. Therefore, control over global oil reserves is a strategic task of the United States. The new “oil standard” of the dollar will disperse the American economy and replace the current pyramid of the dollar of the oil “pyramid”.

As for Russia, the local elite is eager to integrate into the process of creating a new “pyramid” on honorary conditions. This is the meaning of the venture with the construction of the World Financial Center in Moscow. To develop industry is expensive. In addition, the development of industry is an energy -consuming venture, which can be seen in the example of China. Why spend oil and gas on industrial needs when it is much more profitable to earn speculative profits on their sale? In large Russian companies of explored oil reserves for 20-25 years. During this time, we must have time to transfer raw materials to the “cache” and enter the number of shareholders of the global oil-dollar Pyramid. This is a purely financial scheme that does not imply the development of the country. If the value in Russia is only raw materials, then tens of millions of Russians turn into a burden. To serve the raw material economy, 134 million are too many. Therefore, the “people” are driven in the Middle Ages, and for “white people” they create isolated zones, “oases” of Russian capitalism. One of these closed zones will be the Moscow “World Financial Center”. In fact, Russia is sliding to the apartheid regime: the privileged elite lives behind high fences and cashes the country's raw materials, and the “people” pick up the scraps and survives, as necessary. Let this apartheid is carried out not on a racial basis, but according to the criteria for belonging to the ruling clans. The overall picture is no better from this. And the "abroad" will not help. “Abroad” needs to solve your problems.
