The Mechanism of Financial Control

Webb explains how money has been turned into an extremely efficient tool of social domination. Through monetary incentives, people self-manage without the need for direct physical coercion. This allows the powers that be to maintain their influence with minimal energy expenditure. However, when this system fails—as in financial crises—physical control comes into play.

Great powers always talk about the media, states, and governments that depend on them, and use the phrase: "the right to security." As Machiavelli said, "Never attempt to gain by force what you can achieve by deceit." The greatest historical manipulation has been based on that lie, on the concept of "security." We are told: "For your security, we will do this or that." In future financial panics, it will be like a game of musical chairs: when the music stops, many will not have seats. Uncontrolled financing seeks to create the threat of collapses and offer continuous profits, controlling nations in the process. A historical example Webb uses is the Great Depression of 1933 in the United States. During that period, banks were closed by decree, leaving millions of people without access to their savings. Here's an anecdote Webb tells:

My Aunt Elizabeth was 10 years old when the banks were closed by decree in 1933. When I asked her to tell me about that Great Depression, she told me that suddenly no one had any money. That even wealthy families had no money and had to take their children out of private schools because they couldn't afford the tuition. I also asked her why even those wealthy families couldn't send their children back to school after the banks reopened. And the answer she gave me was this: only Federal Reserve banks and banks selected by the Federal Reserve were allowed to reopen. People with money in banks that weren't allowed to reopen lost everything. However, their debts weren't canceled. They were assumed by other banks. That is, they take away all your savings, all your property, and leave you with debts.

Only those banks selected by the Federal Reserve were able to reopen, while the rest collapsed. The wealthy families who had accounts in those banks lost everything, but their debts remained intact. These debts were absorbed by the surviving banks, which then foreclosed and seized property en masse.

This strategy not only allowed the banks to consolidate, but also transformed the former owners into perpetual tenants. It was a massive upward transfer of wealth, disguised under the guise of "stabilizing the economy." Today, according to Webb, we are witnessing a repeat of this pattern, but amplified on a global scale.”
