BENN GLECK: Money Needs to Be Ours Again

HNN Senior Outer Rim Analyst Benn Gleck argues that we take our currency back.

Senior Outer Rim Analyst Benn Gleck

Dear fellow humans,

We live in a time of monetary travesty.

Our currency - the very substance that gives all of our livelihoods the blood that it needs to survive - is controlled by Outer Rim aliens, who - as we know - do not have our best interests at heart.

I am talking, of course, about the Muun of Muunilinst.

The Muun are the shadowy aliens that control the Intergalactic Banking Clan (IGBC), which actually determines what the credchip in your pocket is worth. No, it's not the Emperor or Imperial Central on Coruscant - it's a group of aliens in the Outer Rim.

Does that scare you?

It sure scares me!

If we really want to create an Empire that puts humans back where they should be, where they were before we started to be ruled by the aliens of the Republic, then we need to take our currency back from the Muun aliens and their IGBC.

Let me explain how it works:

The Muun run the IGBC from their lair on Muunilinst in the Outer Rim. They set interest rates and flush in or take back the credit supply in the galaxy. They don't do this for your economy, but to help out their allies, the Hutts.

I've told you about them before, but let me draw it out for you and connect the dots:

You see the Muun and the IGBC in yellow in the top left. You see the Hutts in green in the top right, and - unfortunately, they keep hardworking human beings like you and me in the bottom down here in blue.

So, what happens? The IGBC lets us have just enough credits to get by and to support out children. But they give the Hutts a ton of credits, so that they can invest in spice, weapons and human pleasure slaves.

How do they get human pleasure slaves? Well, they get our kids junked up on spice, and maybe let them play rebel with some of the blasters they're letting run all over the place. I'll have more on the connection between that and the rebellion some other time.

But what does that mean? It means that the trickle of credits that the IGBC lets us have, coupled with all the added-value from our work, gets sucked out by the Hutts, as do our children - because ultimately, our children are the ones that the Hutts are buying or stealing in order to become their pleasure slaves.

Think of it: your child: the pleasure slave to a Hutt.

Why? - Because of the spice and the guns, and because they had the backing of the IGBC, which is a front for the Muun of Muunilinst.

So, you see it's all connected. These aliens - Muun and Hutts - are in it together. They've enslaved us with their spice and aliens credits.

And it's time that we rise up and put a stop to it.

Are you with me?
