Awesome article and I agree a hundred percent. Politicians are not the ones in power, the bankers are, the more war the more money printed, the more happy the bankers are. Whenever the economy has stagnated war has been the solution and considering the current economic situation these times are scary. A debt based currency is definitely what we should fear as it enslaves us and many people have started borrowing to afford to pay of their debts and usually these lenders have higher interest rates so it's a slippery slope. Finally thanks to cryptocurrency the people are holding the right end of the stick and I am hopeful for the future ! Great post 👍

Hi @dandesign86! You have just received 0.15 SBD tip from @cardboard!
@tipU - send tips by writing tip! in the comment, get share of the profit :)I almost included the documentary All Wars are Banker's Wars. Whenever I start talking about this stuff I want to mention democide and Smedley Butler's War Is a Racket as well. One thing at a time, I guess. Great comment, thank you. :)
It is quite scary the truth about who really turns the wheels of society. I actually haven't seen this documentary yet, but I definitely will do that this upcoming weekend. I have seen Zeitgheist some years ago and it definitely had an impact on me.
It feels like, with Steemit, Cryptocurrency and the blockchain, we are holding the Bankers Cryptonite. Change is coming and I have a feeling it's good !
This. Tip!
Thank you very much !

I am not sure that politicians create wars to fix banking problems. While at times it can help. People have been fighting for a long time, for a lot of other reasons. The American Indians fought wars before central banks were around. Wars typically make everyone poorer. Yes, it helps if you can loot gold, crops, cattle or women from a neighboring village, but war is less than a zero sum game. That said. It is also interesting to look at the history of Wars. We go to war about every 20 years. I think that is more of one of mankind's inherent weaknesses.
Have you read Steven Pinker's Better Angeles of Our Nature? Violent death per 100,000 people has gone down significantly in the last 100 years even including WWI and WWII. As we move up Maslow's hierarchy of needs, we understand the value for cooperation of competition. Those who do want to fight wars (usually the sociopaths who get voted into office) must align with banks to get the funding they need. It's a sick symbiotic relationship of greed and destruction.
