"It is like I was blind my whole life but now I see"  So you finally stopped being naive? This was one thing i didnt understand about you, you can explain the mechanics of corruption so well (the social matrix, mankind the bulshitting animal, self deception 1,2,3, understanding survival...)  but you still got tricked. It's so easy to see corruption, why only now you see it?  for me i look at someone, i listen to them 10 seconds and i can tell if they are full of it or not. or to which degree. it's like sensing corruption directly, no need to even explain. the explanation is in the structure of the energy. energy doesnt lie.  People who dont have this sense look ridiculous to me, they fall for so much, they are manipulated so easily.  

So Leo, you hold us to high standards, you tell us to be open minded, but in certain topics, you kill the whole conversation by screaming conspiracy theorist. Is that how to have grown up talk?  Maybe you can shine your newly dicovered sense on the covid pandemic? you have some time? I mean you told your forum to go get vaxxed everything else is insane. pretty big claims , no?     

People deeply underestimate the level of corruption that is possible. There are networks of people that see the world like a board of chess, they sacrifized their humanity for their power accumulation addiction. they organize in groups, they are very intelligent and committed. they designed our economic system to be their wealth extraction machinery. 

The **Wealth Extraction Machinery** is a debt-based system in which nearly all money is created as loans. When a person, company, or government takes a loan, new money is created out of nothing by the bank. However, this money must be paid back with interest. This creates a permanent structural requirement: the economy must grow every year just to cover the interest payments. Without constant growth, the system eventually collapses.

This mechanism turns the entire economy into a sophisticated extraction machine. Wealth flows systematically upward because:

- The people and institutions closest to the source of money creation (major banks, central banks, large financial players) benefit first from every new round of debt.
- New money floods the system and inflates the price of assets (stocks, real estate, infrastructure). Those who already own these assets get richer faster, while wages for normal people lag behind.
- Crises accelerate this transfer. During recessions, wars, or shocks, ordinary people and smaller businesses are forced to sell assets cheaply or go bankrupt. The top players, with access to cheap credit, buy those assets at discounted prices. When the economy recovers, the assets rise in value again — creating another massive upward wealth transfer.

This is why crises are fueled, prolonged and even orchestrated. Destruction creates new demand, new debt, and new opportunities for extraction.

The system strongly selects for a specific type of person at the top: individuals who can sacrifice empathy and humanity without guilt, who view suffering as collateral damage. These people naturally form tight networks and dynasties (such as the Rothschilds and Warburgs historically), intermarry strategically, and maintain close ties to banks and intelligence agencies — the real centers of control.

In short: The machinery doesn’t just allow wealth to concentrate at the top — it is structurally designed to do exactly that. It rewards cold, calculating, long-term strategic thinking and punishes empathy and short-term morality. Crises, wars, and instability are not bugs. They are built-in features that keep the extraction process running.

That’s why the whole construct feels so ruthless and self-perpetuating. It wasn’t an accident — it was engineered that way, and it continues to reward exactly the kind of people who can maintain it. 

They can put a dementia patient as president and people still dont get it, they can put a delusional narcisistic chronological liar as president and people still dont get it. they can make people believe a skyscraper can collapse in free fall from a fire. It's really quite absurd.

Nice try.

Do not use what I said to justify your conspiracy theories.

Your theories are still wrong.

Obviously capitalism concentrates wealth at the top. I never had any illusions about that. Marxists have been saying this for 150 years. Capitalism is not a conspiracy theory.

The monetary system we have today  wasn’t an accident of nature. It was deliberately designed by powerful bankers and politicians (Jekyll Island 1910, Federal Reserve Act 1913). This design creates a built-in, permanent growth imperative. Without constant expansion, the system collapses under its own debt load.

Doesn’t that make it more than just “capitalism naturally concentrating wealth”? Isn’t it a structurally rigged wealth extraction machine that was intentionally engineered to do exactly that — move wealth upward, reward crises, and select for cold, power-addicted personalities at the top?

Where do you draw the line between “this is just how capitalism works” and “this system was deliberately built to function as an extraction mechanism”?

[Leo Gura]

@Christoph Werner Of course every business is designed to extract maximum profits. Calling that a conspiracy is kinda silly.

Of course bankers and politicians try to shape whatever they can to suit their worldview and needs. Every human in power is doing that. But most of them have very limited power. They control tiny parts of the whole system.

What you regard as conspiracies, I regard as civilization running it course.

Yes, bankers shape the economy. Who else would? That's pretty much their job. They are trying to create a system that fits their worldview, which is biased to flavor themselves.

Leo, I never called it a conspiracy.

I’m simply describing what I see: Our monetary and economic system was deliberately designed to function as a wealth extraction machinery. Money is created as debt that must be repaid with interest, which creates a built-in, permanent growth imperative.

I’m not saying one person, one group, or one family controls everything.

What I am saying is that powerful bankers and politicians intentionally engineered the core rules of the system (see Jekyll Island 1910 and the Federal Reserve Act 1913) in a way that systematically moves wealth upward, rewards crises, and favors cold, strategic, power-oriented personalities at the top.

That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s historical fact and structural mechanics.

Who defines what is a conspiracy and what isn't?

If the media calls Something a conspiracy, does that mean i can just dismiss it because it's obviously wrong? I dont get it, why make this distinction?

[Leo Gura]

You were talking about 9/11 inside job.

[Christoph Werner]

And who exactly gets to decide what is labeled a “conspiracy theory”? If the mainstream media calls something a conspiracy, does that automatically make it false? That seems like a very convenient way to shut down structural analysis.

For example, claiming a steel skyscraper collapsed in perfect free fall from office fires just doesnt align with basic physics — it's selling people something absurd. Basic structural mechanics make that impossible. So who is really pushing the conspiracy here?

[Christoph Werner]

Leo you kindly shared with us in the past, that you used to tend to be very arrogant. And yes for good reasons, I have yet to find someone who can match your metaphysical insightful work.  But as I am sure you know, this arrogance creates blind spots. What i am trying to tell you is, here you have a big blind spot. so lets not argue about any conspiracy, let's look at the underlying dynamics.  

 Controlling how people think = Controlling reality

This is not new. Power structures have always tried to shape what is “thinkable” and what is “unthinkable.” 

- The Church did it for centuries with heresy laws and the Inquisition.
- Monarchies did it with “divine right.”
- Modern states and intelligence agencies do it with labels like “conspiracy theory.”

 How “Conspiracy Theory” works as a weapon:

1. Stigmatization
   The term is used to put legitimate questions and crazy fantasies into the *same box*. Once something is labeled “conspiracy theory,” most people (especially those who want to appear intelligent and socially accepted) automatically dismiss it without examination.

2. Poisoning the well
   Intelligence agencies (CIA and others) have historically done exactly that: They sometimes *plant obviously ridiculous theories* next to real uncomfortable questions. This contaminates the whole field.  
   Result: Fair critics get lumped together with flat-earthers and lizard people believers → easy dismissal.

3. Social pressure
   Most people are highly sensitive to social status and group acceptance. They instinctively avoid topics that could make them look “crazy” or “low-status.” So they gladly accept the official narrative, even when it has clear holes.

 

 Why intelligent people fall for it so easily

Because it offers them a comfortable psychological deal:
- They get to feel smart and superior (“I don’t believe in conspiracy theories”).
- They avoid the uncomfortable existential threat of realizing that power structures are deliberately rigged.
- They stay safely inside the Overton Window.

This is exactly why the label is so effective. It doesn’t need to be true — it just needs to trigger social fear and status anxiety.

Bottom line:

 “conspiracy theory” is often a "manufactured thought-stopping device".  
It’s a sophisticated form of narrative control that protects the system by making structural criticism socially costly.

The real question intelligent people should ask themselves is not “Is this a conspiracy theory?”  
but rather:  
“Is this claim true or false — and what is the actual evidence?”

The Comfort of the Pre-made Category

The label “conspiracy theory” is an extremely effective cognitive shortcut. It allows smart people to dismiss an entire domain of inquiry without doing the hard, time-consuming work of independent analysis.  for example 9-11. Was it Bin Laden, or was it an inside job? You dont know - you were not there. now it's clear that the answer matters a lot, especially if you live in the US. It's not clear wether you can even find a certain answer. But for such an important question it's really irresponsible to outsource your analysis. now here comes a juicy offer, just put every critic in the same box, valid or invalid, and instead of engaging in serious analysis, just call them stupid, feel superior and never look back, bravo. Very appealing to arrogant people.

Can't wait for arrogant a**hole normies like yourself to be force-fed the truth.
You do everything in your power to avoid it, and yet it will be rubbed in your face. You will learn it whether you want to or not.

As a connoisseur of The Truth™, you will be confronted with The Truth.

What then? You'll act all surprised, just like now with these Epstein files.

Screenshot this- it's not that far in the future.

Yeah but there is a difference between the type of person who is persuaded by evidence such as in the Epstein files situation, and someone persuaded by the mere existence of a dark possibility, i.e. 9/11 inside job.

Yes there is an element of inaccurate pre-judgment from the mainstream when it comes to conspiracy theories. It is wrong to dismiss things as impossible just because they sound outlandish. Conditional probability makes outlandish events very likely.

However, it is also inaccurate to jump to conspiratorial conclusions when other possibilities also exist. Conspiracy theorists who make correct guesses about things are still guessing. For example, those who much earlier guessed what Epstein was doing.

 A reasonable person will take the dark possibility seriously but will not jump to it as a certainty.

[Christoph Werner]

@MrTruf dude. dont contaminate this thread. Leo is not your enemy.
