The Arms Race of Ideas Part II: A Titanic Conspiracy
Written by John Carroll
If an elite group of people truly conspired to seize control of the world, their first goal would have been to understand the mechanics of the world. How do the gears of the world interlock? Which gears dictate the movement of others? Almost a thousand years ago, the Knights Templar seemed to have figured out that money is truly what makes the world go round.
Money is the fabric that holds the various industries of an economy together. Money facilitates economic harmony because it is fungible, meaning that goods and services can be exchanged for money, which can then be exchanged for other goods and services. The fungibility of money negates the need for a barter system, and thus allows economies, and entire civilizations, to scale. The overall supply of money acts as the measuring stick of an economy. Historically, money in prosperous nations had an abundant and stable supply, which enabled the free market to dictate fair, and maintain relatively fixed, prices of goods and services.
One reason central banks represent a form of economic tyranny is because they constantly change the length of the economic measuring stick through inflation. When central banks create new money out of thin air, the bankers get richer and the consumers get poorer, in a pernicious phenomenon known as the Cantillon Effect. Here’s a simplified explanation of the process:
1. Central banks create new money and distribute it to smaller banks, which are now richer
2. Those smaller banks loan the newly received money, at interest, to businesses
3. Businesses, understanding the money supply was just inflated (each dollar is now worth less), raise their prices
4. Consumers are forced to pay higher prices for the same goods and services
In theory, consumers should receive an increase in wages between steps 3 and 4 to offset their money’s loss of purchasing power. In many cases this doesn’t happen, or is delayed until after the inflation has taken its toll. Remember in 2016 when Donald Trump went from town to town telling Americans their wages have been stagnant? What he really meant was they had been getting poorer.
Conversely, fractional reserve banking and loan policies can also be used to create deflation, which the 1896 Free Silver movement sought to neutralize. A few decades later, as Milton Friedman argued, a massive contraction of the money supply was the actual cause of the Great Depression, not the stock market crash.
So, inflation makes people poorer, and deflation makes sure they stay poor. How did we get here?
In his bookThe Creature from Jekyll Island, G. Edward Griffin details the shadowy beginnings of the Federal Reserve System, the current central bank of the United States, on a private island off the coast of Georgia. In November 1910, a key senator and several of the world’s top bankers met in secret to draft what became the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Together, they represented one quarter of the world’s wealth. Extreme measures were undertaken to ensure the secrecy of the meeting, including the use of disguises, aliases and alibis. The Federal Reserve Act was lobbied to Congress and the American public as a bill aimed at reigning in the big banks, in response to a series of financial crises. Years after it was passed into law, attendees of the meeting admitted that secrecy was employed because the bill would have been soundly rejected if it was discovered that the banking elite wrote a bill to “reign in” themselves.
When the act was finally pushed through Congress, it had to be done so just before Christmas of 1913, when most members were on leave. This represents another red flag, but not for the obvious reason. If the bill was written at the end of 1910, why wasn’t it passed until the end of 1913?
John Jacob Astor, Isador Strauss and Benjamin Guggenheim were three of the wealthiest men in the world at the time, and had amassed their fortunes outside of banking. All three were vehement opponents of the Federal Reserve Act, and all three perished aboard the RMS Titanic, which sank in the early hours of April 15th, 1912. Their deaths seem very convenient for those who stood to benefit from the Federal Reserve, like JP Morgan. They become suspicious, however, when we learn Morgan owned the ship, as well as the manufacturing company that built her. Morgan was also booked to sail on the Titanic’s maiden voyage, but canceled the day before she departed. Once disaster struck, the crew was shocked to learn they had no red flares to send a distress signal to nearby ships, only white flares used for celebrations. There are many other oddities about the sinking which suggest a conspiracy, but the most eerie one deserves special attention.
Most people have probably never heard of Morgan Robertson, author of Futility, Or The Wreck of Titan. His 1898 book is about a luxury ocean liner which sank in the North Atlantic, after colliding with an iceberg near midnight in April. Deemed “unsinkable” by the experts, the Titan was not equipped with enough lifeboats for all her passengers, most of whom went down with the ship as a result. Coincidence? If not, how? The fictional Titan of the novel has several more similarities with the Titanic. So much so, that the book is reminiscent of Ingersoll Lockwood’s Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey, with respect to the latter’s seeming to predict a future event (or vice versa; it also fits the “future proves past” theory adhered to by some). As a side note, three years after the Titanic sank, Robertson was found dead in his hotel room due to an alleged drug overdose.
Let’s now take a step back and reexamine some profound ideas we explored on Quite Frankly last year, in order to make sense of where we possibly are, and where we might be going. In our study of Cymatics, we learned how our minds have the power to create any reality we choose, which made us understand why we’re relentlessly bombarded with propaganda. In the Quite Frankly episode Thursday Night Revolution Roulette, Frank and Rob expanded on that thought, discussing a post claiming the existence of multiple timelines battling for supremacy, in the context of the 2020 Election:
We got into the weeds about how this might be possible when we researched CERN. Reality may simply be a projection of the dominant zeitgeist, but reality is also mathematically constructed. “Meme warfare” is likely not just a meme, as memes have the power to alter our thoughts. They can change the mathematical makeup of our minds, and thus change the mathematical makeup of our larger reality. Recall also, in the genesis of the Trump Time Travel theory, the OP acknowledged the notion that “memetics are what holds timelines together”:
When we consider the forces that truly govern the nature of reality, which is driven by the collective subconscious, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Futility, Or The Wreck of Titan become more than just books. They become weapons in the arms race of ideas that will determine the future of humanity.
A recent Quantum Businessman presentation supports this theory, claiming that residue from collapsed or merged timelines exists in our current timeline, proving that multiple timelines once ran parallel. It suggests that timelines exist in which the Titanic didn’t sink, and the Hindenburg never blew up. Certain events like these seem to carry significant meme power, and almost everyone today knows about them (just as almost everyone today knows about Dorothy’s red slippers). In every timeline in which the Hindenburg didn’t blow up, it continued, Germany won WWII. Could it also be that the Federal Reserve Act became law in every timeline in which the Titanic sank? If so, the iceberg, especially in the book and the 1997 film, may also have been a Mandela Effect, created to cover up the crime. As recently as 2017, researchers pointed to evidence suggesting the Titanic may have actually been destroyed by fire.
Somewhere around the turn of the century may have marked a decision point in time, after which, one timeline had to become dominant. Back then, we were faced with the choice of using the magic silver slippers, or following the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City, so to speak. Unfortunately, Free Silver lost and the Titanic sank, placing us firmly in the Federal Reserve timeline. The fact that April 15th later became Tax Day seems to be a memetic confirmation of our situation.
This timeline we grew up in is a dark one, indeed, but hope has arisen. As discussed above, a new timeline appears to have emerged. In Part III, we’ll explore how this beta timeline might have manifested, along with the memetic weapon it’s wielding to battle against the alpha timeline. If what’s been laid out here is an authentic glimpse behind the curtain, then we’re probably careening toward a new decision point, and a chance to make a new reality.
