How Western Governments Will Steal Your Land, Part I

This was a difficult piece to write, and an equally difficult piece to title, because the people who most need to see this message are simultaneously the least-likely to read it. How do you steal anything? Boiled down, there are only two procedures: doing so via brute-force (i.e. robbery), or doing so by deception (i.e. fraud).

This is primarily a warning about the latter form of stealing, although ultimately there will be brute-force employed, for any who attempt to resist the mass-foreclosures and mass-evictions which are now imminent. To explain how your land will be stolen from (most of) you – by fraud – first requires a brief lesson in economics, conducted via a simple, hypothetical scenario.

The easiest way to illustrate any economics (or mathematical) principle is through the use of an extreme example, so we will envision a real estate market (in this case, Canada’s market) at two, opposite extremes: one purely hypothetical, the other the real-life nightmare that we see currently.

Imagine a real estate market with the rate of interest on mortgages as high as it could possibly go. For the sake of providing a concrete number; let’s say 1,000,000% interest. We can say, with certainty, what conditions would be like in such a market. Apart from the (very) small number of buyers who are ready/willing/able to pay-in-full for their property (and thus require no mortgage), let us assume – for convenience – that only one person could still afford a mortgage: the Richest Person in the land.

Putting aside the tiny number of cash-buyers who are always present in any real estate market (and thus cancel themselves out); we would have only one buyer in this market – the Richest Person. But (as always) there would be lots of people wanting to sell their homes. With a population the size of Canada; at any given moment there are hundreds of thousands of homeowners wanting to sell their property.

Hundreds of thousands of sellers. One buyer. What can we say about the real estate prices in such a market? Supply and demand. With mortgage rates at an ultra-extreme high, real estate prices would be at an ultra-extreme low. Thus we come to the fundamental equation of real estate: real estate prices are inversely proportional to mortgage rates.

The higher that mortgage rates get, the less potential buyers who can afford to remain in the market, until (ultimately) there is only One Buyer left, and real estate prices are at their ultimate, theoretical low. As with any mathematically based principle; the reverse is also true. So let’s look at a real estate market at the opposite extreme – the Western real estate market.

In this extreme; mortgage rates are frozen as low as they could possibly go, like our mortgage rates. For convenience; let’s assume that “everyone” could afford to buy a home in this scenario…at least at first. But what do we know about the prices in such a market?

We already saw that having only one buyer in the market meant that real estate prices would go as low as they could possibly go. Thus having “everyone” in the market (at first) obviously means sending prices as high as they could possibly go – ever. (Can you say “bubble?”)

Now observant readers should begin to see the “fraud” previously mentioned taking shape here. Knowing that the lowest, possible mortgage rates guarantee the highest possible prices, our governments – more specifically, our central banks – took interest rates as low as they could possibly go, and froze them there.

The central banks have taken interest rates as low as they could possibly go, to deliberately create real estate bubbles, all across the Western world. Then they froze these ultra-low/ultra-extreme interest rates, so that these bubbles could grow to their maximum, possible size.

How do we know this was deliberate fraud, and how do we know that our (corrupt) governments are willing partners (actually servants) in this fraud? Simple. To begin with; the central bankers themselves already proved that ultra-low interest rates don’t work. That case study is called “Japan”.

Thirty years ago; Japan’s central bank permanently froze its own interest rate at near-zero. Twenty-five years ago; it had already proved to the world (via its own failure) that ultra-low interest rates (as a long-term policy) did not work, would never work, and could never work. Now all of the central banks, across the entire Western world have been copying Japan, with the full support of our corrupt governments.
