  So we have inflation in certain asset classes, but not so much in others.

  How does this lead to slavery for the rest of us?

  There are two primary mechanisms.

  First, our incomes do not increase at the same rate as required to own land or other income producting assests. Home prices, stock market prices, etc, all escalate faster than the median income, so that over time minimum wage translates into less ‘stock’, or less ‘house’, etc. Roll this forward 5 or 10 years, and you end up with… well, exactly what we have in the US today. Farmers who do the work, but cannot afford to own their land. Workers who clean the school, but rent their house. Retiree’s working an extra 5 years simply because their investments did not grow quickly enough to match cost of living increases. All while the owners of those income producing assests ‘consume’ the income and increases asset prices to their own benefit.

  Sean from SGTReport, adds:

The second mechanism is related to inflation. People are encouraged, or even forced (think 401k) to invest in dollar-denominated asset classes which intentionally limit the ability to hedge risk and inflation. The Federal Reserve then ensures there is a

slow, let’s say 2-6% inflation rate, while only acknowledging a 1-2% inflation rate in their CPI, and the government and banks pocket the difference. Year-to-year, 1-3% is being stolen, if you have a savings account returning less than 2-6%, your wealth is being taken.

Why isn’t gold and silver going up 200 or 300% in price? One simple reason: If they were, the illusion of the ‘strong Dollar’ would end. Thus, keeping precious metals beat down allows the fiat currency regime to continue. As to the mechanism, it is abundantly clear that the biggest banks of the world are manipulating the gold and silver markets. In fact, they admitted to it:

That it for the first Act, in the play designed to enslave the 99.9999%. In Act II, we will get into how the Powers-that-be are solidifying their control. It gets oh-so-much- worse.
