“There Would Be A REVOLUTION!” - Why Politicians Are POWERLESS To Fix The System
03 Apr 2026
Chapter 1: Are politicians stalling real economic fixes to protect their power?
Everything he just said, how do you process the information of what he's saying? Because for me, what it's making me think about is the following. Are politicians lying to us about affordability because what really needs to be done could potentially crash the market? Or is there a real fix without needing to crash the market?
Because sometimes you're like the next person gets elected, what's the right thing to do? If I do that, my poll numbers, my this, my that. So guess what? Kick it to the next guy. Next guy comes in. Well, when I get elected, we're going to fix the national debt. Kick it to the... Well, when I get elected, and then eventually nobody actually does what they're supposed to be doing.
What do you think? What he's saying is exactly right. You don't need to crash the markets to do it. To the contrary, his plan would send the markets soaring, GDP soaring.
Chapter 2: Can we achieve economic growth without crashing the market?
on low inflation. It's literally the rich, rich or poor, poor. Wouldn't that make me? No, no, it would actually do the opposite. And the reason why no one wants to do it is for that exact reason. It's actually a much more decentralization of the economy.
It would, the so-called K shaped economy we have, it would take the legs of the K and narrow them actually, uh, in a, in a mutually beneficial way, right? It would be basically like that. Um, with the lower leg growing faster than the higher leg, but it would be the best of all worlds. But the very reason they don't want to, it's ultimately about political power.
What he's really saying and why they don't want you, the policy makers, the central bankers, don't want this discussed, the credit creation discussed is, what happens there's a great quote from from henry ford i believe it was uh... a hundred so years ago so that it's all it is all well the public does not understand how money's created for if they did there would be a revolution by morning.
I think that's in Ron Paul's book, if I'm not mistaken.
Chapter 3: What is the relationship between money creation and political power?
I think I'm sure it is. There it is. Well, yeah, it is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning, Henry Ford. And that's... That's ultimately the issue because think about the implications of it, what this does to people's psyches. I'm a Republican. I'm a Democrat.
The left is to blame. The right is to blame. The left can fix it. The right can fix it. No, they can't because if you control the ability to create money, there's another great quote by Meyer Amschel Rothschild, give me control of a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws. That's what Richard is ultimately saying. And so it's really about...
Yes, in our system, the politicians say what they say on the campaign trail because they need to vote.
Chapter 4: How does the public's understanding of money creation affect the system?
The billionaire and the average Joe on the street both get the same vote. Once he's in office, everything changes. The guy on the street... they don't care about while the billionaire has extremely much higher political power than the guy on the street. And so what is the interest of the billionaire is to continue to control and gain power.
And I'm not picking on, like, listen, if you do a great business, I'm not discriminating against billionaires by saying this. I'm simply just using that as an example. But those people in power want to continue to be in and grow their power And the way you do that is by controlling the money supply, by constricting control of the growth of the money supply.
And also controlling the narrative, because this knowledge has been suppressed. And I've had to fight against all sorts of suppression of my work in the last two decades.
The policymakers, or let's say their handlers in the background and the billionaire class, they don't want people to realize that we, and politicians should really love this, the truth is we can have high, sustainable, sustained economic growth, double-digit growth. without inflation, without crises, and fairly equitable. So everyone gets a share.
Everyone who's working hard, everyone who's contributing, the hard work will be rewarded.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of controlling the money supply?
Now, that is capitalism. That's freedom. And you don't need the restrictions and scarcity, the rationing, where then the allocators have all the power and they decide, oh, there's going to be allocated here. And oh, sorry, we're now out of kerosene and we're going to allocate. And of course, the private jets of the decision makers will still work. But
So when you have scarcity, the central planners love it. And we saw that in the Soviet Union, which is all about scarcity and the central planners doing the allocation. But the opposite is the American model and the American dream implemented, and it used to work very well and deliver.
You know, 15% growth, 20% growth when America moved from a developing country emerging market to the number one power in the world. It was on the back of the same model which later was then introduced in East Asia and also China introduced. Well, why is America forgetting this? You know, Germany used this, and America used this in the 19th century.
So we can have this high growth and prosperity without any downside, and markets will love it. So why is this not happening?
Chapter 6: Why is the American economic model being forgotten?
It's exactly as Luke says.
Well, and think about Germany in the 1800s. Who didn't like what Germany was doing? Germany was running very much an Anglo economic model until, I believe, the crisis of 1873, in which they took a step back. Germany, they said, wait a second, this makes no sense. And they then pursued very aggressively... the model that Dr. Werner's talking about. And they outgrew the UK.
They had massive growth, massive productivity, low inflation, increase in every massive prosperity, but it began to threaten the British Navy, the British Empire.
Well, they felt, I mean, it didn't actually threat No, it didn't. To be clear, that's right.
The British began to feel threatened by it, to state it more accurately.
Including these beautiful cities that were created and the cathedrals built and the prosperity is so visible, which explains this totally unnecessary carpet bombing of German cities, which was a war crime, is actually so that the world doesn't see this prosperity for ordinary people, these fantastic buildings. buildings.
