Imagine you work for a powerful person, prone to violence. You are charged with managing your employer's finances. Now, imagine you have been quietly, imperceptibly, stealing from this employer for years. Eventually you become careless and increasingly bold in your theft. You now take stock and realize you have overplayed your hand. Your deception can no longer be concealed or embellished away. Knowing your discovery is inevitable, you are faced with two choices: make strategic plans to preemptively eliminate your dangerous boss before he kills you, or get your affairs in order. Choose force or suffer force.
This is the dilemma faced by our present day parasitic hegemons (central bankers, bureaucrats, political class). Historical precedent dictates that theft of the magnitude they have committed only ends one way: violent revolution. They are no fools. Hence their sloppy and ham-handed fumbling for the levers of power. The masks are off. There is no longer time for tact or artful deceit. They are desperate. They have to secure the bag and bar the gate. Everything happening is a manifestation of this fear.
Stay vigilant, anon.
