As so many times in history (and surely so many times in the period out of memory) as a result of indifatiguable action of one part of society, the other part of society has its back to the wall (or wall street if you like) and the present phase of the cycle is the awakening of popular discontent. Do we know what the next stage of the cycle is? Yes, we do! The usurer of the world wastes no time in making sure that this public discontent - before it becomes truly unmagable - is turned away from him, the usurer, and rather dissipated among the public itself. If this sounds too euphemistic, here is the same in plainer terms. The masses are sent to war. Always have been. The usurer kicks up a feud here and there, nurtures it lovingly and sits back and prepares to watch as people sleet each other's throats under banners of national pride, heroism and patriotism. Once the dust settles down and the decimated masses resume their daily toils, first rebuilding what was destroyed, then gradually improving their life standards, the usurer steps in and imperceptibly resumes his game.
