The bell tolls - who ends up with the loot when the reset happens?

So what is the "loot" or the wealth of a nation or empire?

The fake wealth is numbers in a computer, the power to create money
unchecked.

Real wealth is "the real economy" - the means of production, farms,
real estate.

When (((the top of the steaming pile of bankers))) want more, what is
it that they really want (besides love and connection)?

A: Control.

How to effect greater control?

  - print more 'money' to buy all tha things: QE infinity

  - start/continue more wars to boost MIC corps,
    all of which you own, and to further indebt the people,
    via "their" governments, to your (all private) banks

  - have your government lackeys print even more ('bailout')
    money and hand it to you:

    to the 1%

  - tighten the reins, i.e. increase the interest rates, beyond the
    capacity of the money supply generally available to pay interest
    payments, and thereby cause a massive cyclical reset and
    consequent massive transfer of wealth from the people to the
    banks - as people give up their mortgages and business loans,
    their homes and businesses are handed 'back' to the banks


The next cyclical reset looms of course:

  At this point in the business cycle, corporations have loaded
  themselves up with so much debt that they are extremely fragile.
  Should the economy slow ever so slightly, it will be game over for
  countless over-leveraged companies.


A question some find hard to answer is whether the unfairness of the
privately held money printers i.e. (((the federal reserve banks))),
being unfair as it is vis a vis the population at large ("the
peopl"), is whether this inherent unfairness is a net good, or a net
bad?

Another way to pose this question: is debt enslavement a useful tool
to help humans on their hopefully upward spiritual journey, or is it
a noose to heavy, an anchor round the neck of the people causing them
to fall to the depths of depravity and the animalistic parts of human
nature?

To the extent that humans can shackle their own anger and crack a
whip for their charge towards freedom, knowledge and love, then to
this extent, adversity is a boon.

But if the cross is so heavy that no gratitude is found in the heart,
then degradation follows.

The actual outcome is a very personal thing - it is ones own journey
through and through, ultimately. No blame or flailing can take ones
elf out of ones own life - we live with the (emotional and other)
consequences of our own actions which ultimately are the conseuquence
of our own 'choices', and blaming "them" or "muh feels" or "muh poor
childhood" or any other of the endless littany of blame worthy
blame-ables, do not appear to improve ones lot.

Seize your own life already.

Good luck all,
