Inflation and fiat currency

Weimar Hyperinflation

The hyperinflation that occurred in 1923 was horrific. The trigger for it dated back to WWI, which you will recall, was a war that Germany initiated:

“Due to Germany’s obligation to pay large reparations after World War I, a hyperinflation was induced reaching its peak in November 1923, when the American dollar was worth 4,210,500,000,000 German marks.”1
A Government decision to freeze industrial production would hurt the French, but not as much as it would hurt Germany. The Weimar government destroyed their own supply chain and encouraged saboteurs to do it. They also decided to pay people to stay at home instead of work. Freshly printed money allowed the useless public service to be flush with funds.

This endless money printing was possible under a fiat money system. Almost immediately, there was more money chasing less things. Since the government enabled saboteurs and a general strike by coal workers, coal production collapsed. Very quickly the price of coal skyrocketed. This in turn affected the cost of production for food, steel and other essential goods. Soon the cost of everything began to rise. Hyperinflation had set in. Money would be better used as toilet paper, fuel for a fire or something to keep the kids occupied:

Hyperinflation wiped out the middle class. Millions of salary workers had their wages fall below the cost of living. Bank savings were wiped out. Eventually, people struggled to buy food. Workers that once had salaries that could buy a house and raise a family, were now willing to work for a day just to buy food to survive. It was akin to slave labor.

Only those who owned parts of the supply chain would survive the hyperinflation. While many worker-folk were losing everything, corporations and industrialists became incredibly wealthy.

Some would even descend to the lowest levels of work in order to survive.
Life in Berlin was like a cabaret show. When democracy arrived, free expression was taken to its extreme. Removal from a regime that regarded free will and self-expression as mortal enemies, appeared to create an equal energy in the opposite direction.

Was this the new normal, or was it allowed to happen as part of a plan to return Germany back to its totalitarian past?

Accompanying this new free and creative party-atmosphere was a dark underbelly of crime, drug taking and prostitution. The people had lost everything to war, plague and a famine caused by hyperinflation. Political violence and revolutions were commonplace. People were losing faith and were turning to vice and crime as a means of survival.
Cocaine became as acceptable as coffee. Prostitution was rife, as many desperately tried to make ends meet. This atmosphere attracted people from all over the world to travel to Berlin and realize their wildest fantasies.
Unfortunately, an even darker, more-sinister industry emerged through this chaos and poverty. Children had also become sexual commodities. The reasons why this happened are inexplicable to a sound mind, but an industry of total depravity and evil had been introduced to Berlin culture. It seems people would do anything for money.
For all the good things Berlin offered, this activity crosses the ultimate red-line. The heinous abuse of children transcends all moral boundaries. Everyone who was complicit was in the cross-hairs of the overwhelming majority of everyday Germans wanting their country back. A nihilistic moral decay had set into the nation’s capital.
Who was supplying children to this market? Who were these celebrities and international businessmen ordering children like pizza? Why were pharmacists involved? These were all questions of the day, and they remain remarkably familiar, today.

Other than to condemn these acts as the worst evil imaginable, I can find no justification for such crimes. Whoever these people were, they were sick and needed to be exterminated.

The rage that was building within average Germans would one day be harnessed by yet another creation of Ludendorff, Adolph Hitler.

Summary:

We have said previously that Germany was being thrown to the wolves, following the successful infiltration and transition of power to Washington. This transition would commence in 1917. Let’s review what actually happened:

Germany suffered a humiliating military defeat.

The imposition of the Versailles Treaty would send the nation broke.

The Reichswehr created a shadow intelligence operation, carried out domestically.

The Government knew about the shadow government, but allowed and enabled it.

Political and racial violence was fomented in the streets.

Class warfare was running rampant.

The new Republic was run by the far left, resulting in gross economic mismanagement.

The government paid workers to stay at home, rather than go to work.

This led to a government made energy crisis, and eventually hyperinflation.

Cartels had taken control of supply chains. (to be unpacked in Part V)

Fascists and Communists were rioting and overthrowing local government.

Political violence at the hand of the Black Reichswehr was being ignored by the courts.

Hyperinflation meant that wages fell below the cost of living.

A hyper-progressive culture emerged, led by the LGBT community.

Sexual debauchery had exploded.

Pharmacists were trafficking children for sex to the rich and famous.

    Each installment I read shows a flood of new information we never learned in school. Are enough of us "awake" rather than "woke" to make a dent in this world-wide insanity? Watching the drama and horror unfold in lockstep with history, it appears that the answer is no. I thank you, Dobrien, for putting this whole series out there where those who still have a functioning mind will know what's coming.

    as Tytler wrote: "and always followed by a dictatorship." I think some guy with lots of promises named Adolf took over Germany after the Weimar Republic collapsed.

      Planned take over.
      Ludendorff Words

      After the signing of the Versailles Treaty, Erich Ludendorff went completely off the rails. He refused to accept that Germany lost the war on the battlefield. Instead, he claimed Germany was betrayed by Berlin’s politicians and socialist revolutionaries, many of whom were Jewish. This became known as the “stab in the back theory”, or Dolchstoßlegende. It was this claim, from the top commanding general in the nation, that planted the seeds of hatred that would later be taken advantage of by Hitler.

      In the aftermath of WWI, a German Revolution took place which established the communist party as a formidable political force. In these early days of the Weimar Republic, society was effectively run by radical leftists. Ludendorff predicted that Germany would collapse and that these leftist political parties would be held responsible. In the end, the German people would destroy them.


      Lastly, Ludendorff became a staunch anti-semite. However, he did not stop at the Jews; he would wage war against anything that might lead to peace.


      During WWI, Ludendorff became the most respected man in Germany. Millions would look to his inspiration and guidance as the humiliation and cost of the Great War set in. The General would use his public influence for one purpose only; to attribute blame.

      When Hitler finally came to power about 14 years later, Ludendorff’s philosophy and accusations would be ingrained into the collective German consciousness.

      Ludendorff Actions

      Philosophy and vitriolic words are one thing, but Ludendorff was not a man of empty words. He was a man of action and he was rolling out an aggressive plan.

      To get the party started, he created a division of military intelligence known as the “enlightened commandos”. Central intelligence was infiltrating German politics. Hitler was an early recruit.

        Thank you for the insight and history lesson.. My guess is that right wing conservatives are aware of these trends and goals and left wing useful idiot liberals are in denial or have no clue.

        Knowing their playbook and countering it are very different things.

        We (meaning anyone who actually pays attention) have been pointing these things out all along, hell even the Left sees this (though they remain complicit with it). The question is how do we stop the progress down this path to the abyss? How do we turn this around?

        As long as they control communication there is no way to truly band together and fight back. Which I personally see as the only way out of this mess.

          “The only way out of this mess” Good point. Controlling info, they have lost the Covid scare . Why are they panicking about Elon Musk and Twitter? That was a major bullhorn and the left lost it.Truth Social coming online. This is an information war. 2000 Mules , Durham’s SC prosecutions. Hunters laptop, why did the New Yellow Times just come out and say it was the real deal?

    The economics is clear, and enlightening.
    The connection to "unscrupulous" behavior is unnecessary and weak. Prostitution and drug use are illegal because of government action, not ethics.

      If you don’t have morals , child sex trafficking is ok then?
      “For all the good things Berlin offered, this activity crosses the ultimate red-line. The heinous abuse of children transcends all moral boundaries.

        Child trafficking does not equal prostitution. These are two completely different things.

          Gosh maybe you have never heard of a Pimp. Free speech is awesome . It allows a person to judge a persons character. The EVIL perpetuating in this world is beyond belief. That some humans , who no nothing of the miserable murderous acts want to deny reality by imply “nothing is going on” .
          Do some homework and tell me how they are not connected . Here is a Tip .........research Minnesota connection.
          Here is a start. The Minnesota Connection is a true story written from police records, interviews with ex-prostitutes and pimps, and the personal experiences of Al Palmquist and numerous other officers of the Minneapolis Police Department.
          The primary purpose of this book is to expose serious problems that need to be solved.
          Prostitution has always been a problem in Minneapolis, as in all large cities. The Mayor's office and the police department sought to control, if not end, the vicious game that destroyed women mentally and physically. But arresting and convicting the whores without rehabilitation accomplished little and salvaged few lives.
          She arrived with multiple scalp lacerations bleeding into her hair so badly you could not tell she was blonde, a smashed nose, chest and back furrowed with bleeding welts, abdomen a mass of gray pits with angry red rims caused by cigarette burns. She was struggling in the arms of a Minneapolis police officer. She had been found lying next to a dead girl, as beaten as she, and holding a gun. But her hands had been broken. She had been arrested for murder, or was she also a victim?
          On the street they called her Candy, she was 14yrs old. A prostitute in the city of Minneapolis. In the Hennepin County Hospital she refused to answer to any name, refused to see an attorney, or talk to the juvenile authorities. Three days after her surgery, she tried to sneak out of the hospital. Bandaged and half naked, she was discovered under soiled sheets in the laundry room. When she threatened suicide, Candy was transferred to the psychiatric wing.
          A nurse, knowing about Al Palmquist being a special kind of cop, a caring one who was also a minister, called him for help.
          August, 1977 Al Palmquist, met Candy. Candy's case was more than prostitution, assault and murder. She was an example of the growing trend to recruit 'chili-dog hookers' (so called because they were very young, often see walking ...

            Anecdotal. I’ve heard of a pimp. I’ve heard of a child forced into slavery as a prostitute. I’ve heard of children killing their parents. None of this demonstrate prostitution is evil, immoral or unscrupulous. People do evil things to get money, drugs and sex. That does not make money, drugs or sex evil, and a willing contract among consenting adults is not evil.

            What was evil was government action forcing people into poverty.

              Your statement “Child trafficking does not equal prostitution.” is ignoring reality. To prove your ridiculous assertion you say,” I’ve heard of children Killing their parents” and “a willing contract between adults”.Neither has anything to do with bolstering your ignorant claim.

                Child trafficking should be illegal.

                "I've heard of children killing their parents" is an an example of anecdotal evidence, which is the basis of your long and winding previous response.

                Resorting to ad hominem is simply evidence of a failed argument.

                You have some valuable things to say, but prostitution, Qanon and abortion detract from well-supported facts and logic.

                Again, government force is evil. An agreement between two adults is not. This is simple.

                  What Ad hominem? Calling your claim lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated is a perfect description and the definition of “ignorant claim”
                  A child is not an Adult. If you have trouble with other posts about baby killing or the msm made up QAnon, of which there is no such thing , don’t bring it into this ridiculous argument you are failing at making.
