This is the untold history of how the entire global financial system was engineered to guarantee perpetual, inescapable debt.The world owes a staggering 315trillion∗∗,andtheU.S.aloneowes∗∗38 trillion. This debt is not an accident; it was deliberately designed by four powerful architects across three centuries to ensure debt can never be repaid.We reveal the four critical moments that built the Debt Trap:1. William Patterson (1694) – Making Debt Permanent: Patterson established The Bank of England. His revolutionary idea was simple: lend the government 1.2 million pounds, but the principal would never be repaid. Instead, the government would pay 8% interest forever. This loan, backed by the government's power to tax, became a permanent feature of the system. Critically, this mechanism created money out of debt.2. Nathan Rothschild (1815) – Making Debt Inescapable: Rothschild industrialized sovereign debt through an international network. He structured debt so that it was tradable across borders. This meant that defaulting wasn't just refusing one creditor; it was collapsing an entire international financial network. This made debt truly inescapable.3. J.P. Morgan (1913) – Making Debt Infinite: Morgan and his associates held a secret meeting on Jekyll Island, Georgia, to design the Federal Reserve System. This structure ensured banker control. The system allowed the Fed to literally create money to buy bonds, generating unlimited demand for government debt. This mechanism enables infinite debt, ensuring the government can roll over its borrowing forever.4. Paul Volcker (1982) – Making Debt a Tool of Control: When developing nations faced default, Volcker orchestrated a bailout through the IMF using structural adjustment loans. These loans did not forgive the debt; they simply rolled it over, made it manageable, but permanent. This system forces debtor countries to dismantle their economic sovereignty in exchange for the privilege of staying in debt.The Perpetual Machine: Today, this system results in a continuous, structural transfer from workers to capital. Taxpayers fund the $1 trillion per year in interest payments flowing to bond holders like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, and Fidelity.Debt cannot be eliminated; it is structural, necessary by design. $38 trillion isn't a crisis for them; it's a business model.Watch to understand how this unbreakable system works, and why interest is the rent we pay to live in their world.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Subscribe for more investigations into the structures of global power.
