Floyd Landis Accuses Top Cycling Teams Of Doping. This And Many Other Social Dynamics Are A Direct Result Of A Fraudulent Banking System.

I've been an avid biker since I was old enough to hop on a bike. The rumors have swirled for years and apparently we have had an environment where cycling teams tried to stay one step ahead of regulators to game the system. Sound familiar? This hyper-competitive belief system has really developed over the last generation or so. It spans all of society and I am extremely confident it is primarily driven by a scarcity of economic opportunity. As an example, we now have record cheating in universities. (Research has shown MBAs are far and away the worst chronic cheaters. In other words, the people who are running Wall Street.) The drive to achieve perfect academic results or win the Tour de France or any other example are primarily twofold. One is the culture of me-isms. In other words, society be damned, I'm going to get mine. But the second dynamic is really the driver of the first. That is, there is limited economic opportunity. So, as an athlete or a college student or whomever, there is some feeling that if I am not at the top of my game, if I do not succeed at this, there will be little, if any economic opportunity for me in society. What comparable economic opportunity does Floyd Landis have if he fails at cycling? By the way, the extreme purses in sports and entertainment have been driven by a money bubble. Before the money bubble, a Tour de France winner or professional football player made 5x the average salary in the United States. Today it is 500x.

And do you know what drives this entire dynamic? Well, Sparky, that would be a private banking system and private money creation which by its very nature limits economic opportunity, perpetuates racism, creates class struggle and destroys economic opportunity. And over time concentrates that opportunity into the hands of fewer and fewer people. And who are those fewer and fewer people? Are they the most capable in society? Well, Sparky, that would not always be the case. It is often those most willing to fock over their fellow man or those most willing to game the system to be extremely frank about it. So, rather than the cream of society rising to the top, we have sociopaths and criminals running our society at the expense of society. Because those are the qualities that most guarantee success. Which is why we have record cheating in our society. In other words, generally decent people often willing to take major risks to succeed given the alternatives. No more pensions, no more health care, no more social safety nets means I have to get mine while I am capable of getting it.

Funny how that works. Floyd Landis' doping can be tied back to our fraudulent banking system.

They are coming for your Social Security next.

It's time for a public banking system.
