The Coming Dark Ages

To some extent it might be the case, that the reason there is so much negative, or 'critiquing perspective' commentary all over the internet, is that there is always less risk in pointing to a problem, than gratuitously handing over a 'solution.'

I would simply love to be able to post in this place, one detailed specific investment situation after another, or some specialist business 'angle' or important insider info, that gives readers endless opportunities to make money for as little risk as possible, or in fact, no risk at all! Wouldn't that be great?

At the Temple of Luxor - you cannot understand the meaning
unless you have a mental age of um, twelve? lol

If we look at the well-known financial 'winners' - the usual faces, Buffett, Soros, and so on, really what you see is a one-time genius, frankly, who got carried over by the 'system' once a certain tide-mark of wealth was made. Buffett has done absolutely nothing exceptional in years and neither has Soros. Neither has any particular insight into the mechanisms that will inevitably force changes onto the Fed, now that the down-angle interest rate policy has reached its literally ground 'Zero.'

And so it is with a degree of reluctance I make the next statement: the internet has disclosed its own fatal flaw over the flow of years till now, namely, that it consists largely of tribes of iterators of common misconceptions, disguised either as 'secret' or 'learned' or 'expert' and authoritative spokespeople and narrators or writers, on one subject or another.

I'm not sure why it is the case that so many human beings possess this un-self noticed tendency to desire knowledge about some particular subject or area, and then this regular accompanying assumption that by knowing everything publicly written about the subject, and being able to repeat it, immediately implies correct knowledge and expertise. Of all the things one might be wary of, it seems that the arcane and the occult typically are the areas where this applies most obviously, and yet why would it ever be the case that the publicly-stated notions, of the categorically secret, are at all likely to be correct in the first place?

And so I say this - which is something you probably already know, but: you will see almost endless repetition of commonplace misconceptions, each time you Google on a very large number of subjects.

One of the underlying reasons is that seldom do people ever actually read the direct original sources. For instance, 'it is illegal for US citizens to have contact with Extraterrestrials, but not with Aliens'...(!) This is an example of the more clearly incorrect and misinterpreted pieces of 'information' out there.

The only surviving statue of Khufu - two Germans
defaced his cartouche inside the Great Pyramid to get some
mineral samples

Another: Herodotus reported that the Egyptian temple priests said that the Pharaoh Khufu built the Great Pyramid. But did Herodotus really say this? This type of thing you even find in the most austere and elevated University literature. Whereas the fact is that whoever is saying this, and if whoever they are, has actually read all of Herodotus, clearly cannot understand non 'literal' language, or cannot understand that people often write in subtle forms in order to divert attention away from the valuable center of meaning, due to political or other reasons pertaining to the time they wrote in.

What does this all mean for the person looking to make serious money in today's era?

Well, I am sure everyone reading here realizes that innovation is coincident or even perhaps the cause, of social and political change, and changes in the power structures - this has been the case throughout history.

Only genuine world-changing innovation will alter today's global economics. Today, the temptation must be very great, for the Fed to continue to nominally prop up a non-existent financial economy, and force the Dow well beyond 20,000 points - regardless of whether they fiddle around with the official interest rates in December or not. And I say 'fiddle' deliberately. They cannot raise them.

The temptation must be very great, for the Fed to push on, indeed, to manufacture the altogether most absurd surface numbers and depictions for public consumption in the public media - and there is no real reason for the 'bull market' to end at all! We are witnessing history - as in, grand history. 

And then one day, like in the most ancient of times, something happens, and everything changes in a second, and nothing remains of what was there, and no one recalls and no record remains, of what actually took place.

The Pharaoh Khufu, built the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which reached to the sky, and the Twin Towers, previously destroyed by an angry God out of the skies, was rebuilt, and the new WTC skyscraper, like Nimrod and his works, was mighty in the face of God.

'In God's face.' Right up in his face. And with a finger stuck upwards.

And so, back to the Dark Ages for most of Mankind. Well, that is going to be the case as far as I can see it.

For you though, you should bear this in mind, great historical fortunes and wealth and entirely new societies were made when these sorts of events happened.

The insides of the Cathedral of Siena

Take for example, the Cathedral of Siena in Tuscany. The wealth of Florence and Tuscany and Genoa and eventually Venice, was all amassed out of the most darkened of times in human history. And even to this day, no one that you know, explains to you why the Cathedral of Siena is like the temples at Luxor, and has references to the Great Pyramid, and even has supposedly pagan figures in the mosaic flooring - which area, by the way, is fully uncovered only once a year, at a very special time.

And trust me, you will never have heard or seen any explanation about all of this on the Discovery Channel. It has nothing to do with astrology or stars or cryptic hidden meanings or special occult texts. It's all there explicitly spelled out; but no one looks, no one sees, no one comprehends. 

A section of mosaic on the floor at the Cathedral of Siena -
it has a 'slightly' metaphorical meaning, and is not, what the common
literature claims is depicted.

Sell everything you have, take only as much as you need, and give everything else to the poor, and go to Siena, and look at the floor.

Well, today, you live in times of great luxury. You need do none of that; all you need to do is look up some images of the mosaic flooring of the Cathedral of Siena - and you will learn a great secret about wealth and how to make it. It's actually spelled out in pictures on the floor.
