Things Made to Last

A look at planned obsolescence and why it is employed.

Quality workmanship is a value no longer sought after. Oh, sure, We look for the highest quality in what is available to fill Our needs and choose the highest We can find for the money We can afford to spend, but the expectation that a product will last, or contain quality ingredients, or otherwise be of high standard has dropped – unless We have lots and lots of money.

Even then, the quality once offered is diminished, with the rich Ones having the money to not worry about it.

Meanwhile, most of Us buy things that, when I was young, would have lasted far longer than they do today. My best example is in hair ties – those thread-covered rubber bands used to hold hair in ponytails and such.

When I was growing up, I could have one of those bands for months and they worked the same every day. In fact, they likely worked much longer, but I always managed to lose them before they stopped working. Today, I put one in My hair for the first time, and when I remove it, it has stretched a bit, and, after about 20 uses, has stretched out completely and is no longer in its original form at all, and so I toss it.

So why, in a theoretically advancing society, are the things We use going backwards!?! Why are they less now than they used to be? Enter Edward Bernays.

From Wikipedia (a trusted source, right? LOL!) We read:

.

Edward Louis Bernays (/bɜːrˈneɪz/ bur-NAYZ, German: [bɛʁˈnaɪs]; November 22, 1891 − March 9, 1995) was an American theorist, considered a pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, and referred to in his obituary as "the father of public relations".[3] His best-known campaigns include a 1929 effort to promote female smoking by branding cigarettes as feminist "Torches of Freedom", and his work for the United Fruit Company in the 1950s, connected with the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the democratically elected Guatemalan government in 1954. He worked for dozens of major American corporations, including Procter & Gamble and General Electric, and for government agencies, politicians, and nonprofit organizations.

.

As we can see, the man’s influence began in the early 1900’s and persisted through most of the rest of that century. And He was involved with the CIA. And He was a master at propaganda – steering Us in directions the psychopaths in control, His masters, wanted Us to go.

And one of His bright ideas was to suggest that, if products were made to fail at some point, rather than lasting, customers will return and buy more. Or if products are developing – like computer software or other things that can offer “improvements” over time – bugs can be added to need paid-for “updates” or lesser is offered and then better is – for a price.

All in all, We can see that such practices create waste. Lots of waste. And, in fact, We can look at landfills and oceans, and many other places, to see huge quantities of stuff tossed. And at least 90% of all that mess would be solved for had products been made to last.

And then… The psychopaths in control, who produce the crap in shiny boxes and profit greatly when more is bought, blame Humanity for this mess!

They use Their media to pound on and on about how “We” are creating havoc in nature. About how Humanity must do with less, because We are too irresponsible. Yet still They sell the subpar stuff. Rather than taking responsibility and starting to make quality products We can depend on, that only break (if at all) when many years of service have literally worn them down, They persist.

The motive is profit/power over Others, money flowing to Them. Money, a thing I know is obsolete, promotes psychopaths to the top, who then grab more money by forcing waste so We buy more. (Psychopaths are promoted in any money-burdened society, for They will not stop short of breaking the three Laws of Ethics. They will defraud, They will steal, They will murder to get the most, to have the power that money provides.)

I have discussed the issues of money relative to this with many a capitalist – ancap and traditional – and They all seem to think that if it’s not fiat such behaviors will not happen. That psychopaths would not, sooner or later, be promoted to the top. That psychopaths would not then use Their money to buy industries and pump out pretty crap to make more money when customers return.

And frankly, I cannot see how the form of money makes any difference at all.

Psychopaths will do all the things They do to get and keep the most money, regardless of whether it’s shells, beads, sticks notched and split, metals (coins), paper (bills), or electronic bits. Even in primitive societies operating on trade/barter money, the psychopaths will do what They can to monopolize a needed thing.

Land, water, seed, or any other needed thing, because that gives Them power over Others. And once it goes representational, the power becomes all the easier to acquire.

So. We today have psychopaths in control, as expected. And They force waste upon Us and then blame Us for it. Pride of workmanship is an ancient and forgotten value. And meanwhile They plan demics, wag dogs, lie about Human-created “climate change,” and more, because They have the money to do so.

They can buy the things and the People to do Their bidding.

As I said earlier, money is technically obsolete, archaic – see the Electrogravitics link below. But the psychopaths in control have been avidly hiding and suppressing all technology that makes it so. Without money, They can’t buy things, and most importantly, People to create things like plannedemics, dog-wagging, climate lies. They would be on equal footing with the rest of Us.

In a society without the need to account for Human energy added (no need to ensure We all add Our “fair share” of energy, doing and creating), there is no handle on power over Others (excluding controlminds (“governments”) which I talk about in other articles, some of which are linked below). There is no way to buy People. Why would anyOne, living as richly as They choose to, do any unEthical thing for anOther with no payment but “thanks?”

And in a society where One is judged by the quality of the products of One’s energy expended, not by how much money One has, planned obsolescence becomes a liability. And what would the point of creating with obsolescence be? Garbage output will earn negative social currency – scorn, bad reputation, disgust, etc.

The higher the quality, the higher the positive currency One will receive. Admiration, good reputation, thanks, respect, fame, and more.

Even with metals as money psychopaths will still rely on planned obsolescence to add to Their coffers. So just removing Us from fiat money will not relieve Humanity of either psychopaths in control or planned obsolescence. And… Today, the psychopaths in control own virtually all of the gold and other precious metals.

Take away fiat and They’re still calling the shots.

They’re still pushing crap for profit. They’re still able to pay Others to do unEthical things to Us – like lie in the media to produce the demics, the dog-wagging, the lies (about weather, about “mass shootings” for gun control, about what’s healthy to eat, what’s unhealthy about the sun, and on and on), because money lets Them do those things.

I suggest, if We really care about the planet We’re on, We eliminate the need to account for Our energy by adding free energy tech to Our world. Free energy makes the accounting for Our energy added pointless, especially since We have robotics to offer “workers” to do anything needed that We do not have enough People to do, not enough who ***love*** the work, so no coercion to do the work is needed.

No, “If You don’t get a job, You’ll starve!”

By removing that tool, that very dangerous tool, Humanity will blossom and the quality of things will become superlative.

And then… 90% of the waste will vanish and Our planet will be far better than now!

My father taught Me never to believe anything. He told Me to place probabilities and adjust them as new data come along, asking the question, "Does that explain what I see?," when evaluating data. He was an aerospace engineer, and worked with T Townsend Brown (see My featured vid on Odysee or YouToilet). From a very early age I was concerned that the way I was told things worked, in terms of government and social affairs, did not explain what I saw. So the first few decades I worked to determine WHY this was.

I wound up in banking, seeing the flow of things in the headquarters of a major bank in Los Angeles. I became intimately familiar with the flow of money, and economics. I asked the question, "Why do We use money?"

When the web arrived, My research capabilities flourished, and I learned much that explained what I saw, but the only explanations I found for why We use money started with trade and barter, which are still money in a direct form, and did not answer the WHY. Then, I came upon the explanation that these were used because, with a finite amount of stuff, it was to ensure that We got Our "fair share" in a scarcity environment, in exchange for the work We added.

From this I realized the WHY. We were accounting for Our energy input into things. And that We needed to do this because the Human energy was scarce compared to what We needed to be produced (back then).

I also discovered that over half Our planet's wealth was "owned" by fewer than 100 Humans...

I was very interested in psychology, too. And studied it deeply, being fascinated by psychopathy, focusing on that aberration, learning that They had discovered a gene that manifested Individuals who were incapable of love, compassion, caring, and empathy for Others – primary psychopaths. Seeing that the wealth was so disproportionate, and that the families who "owned" it inbred, what would explain what I saw would be that They wanted to retain that psychopathic gene. Given that the wealth could feed, clothe, house ALL of Us (and give Us freedom) abundantly and many times over, and yet None set forth to care for Humanity, I had to give probability approaching 100% that They are psychopaths, as that explains perfectly what I see, and answers My quest for why the way I was told things worked did not explain what I saw.

And I asked... If I was a psychopath, with enough wealth to buy anything and anyOne I wanted to, and given that money = power (power over Others is something psychopaths seek), would I be motivated to create a false "reality" for the masses and thereby manipulate Them? I think You can figure out what answer I came up with. And would that explain what I see? Absolutely.

Now, given that money is merely the accounting token used to account for Our Human energy, it would follow that free energy would threaten fully the accounting for Our energy. If I was a psychopath, with enough money to buy sites like Wikipedia, the media, the education system, etc., would I do all I could to suppress and hide free energy?

And given I personally know that electrogravitics offers both gravity control and energy from the aether (the electromagnetic field that pervades the universe), and that it went into black projects, such efforts to hide and suppress would explain what I see completely.

So I am neither a "conspiracy theorist," nor am I a "conspiritard," but rather... I am a conspiracy analyst. And given this analysis, knowing that conspiracies are the NORM in history and that they didn't just stop some years back, I conclude that conspiracies abound. That explains perfectly what I see.
