It isn’t because you have to. That you have no other choice. It’s because they have convinced you of that so the worthless dollar is worth something.
“A currency cannot survive without domestic tax-based demand, even if the entire world trades commodities in it.”
So the Petrodollar serves the purpose of legitimising the dollar internationally.
We live in an Empire ruled by a select group of people from 3 parts of the world: The Vatican, The City of London (Not London, UK) and Washington D.C. (also not a part of the United States).
The dollar is their chosen currency. Now, they do not have to change everyone’s currency to the dollar for this to work. Local currencies that are in circulation are pegged to the dollar. This is keeping the world enslaved to a select group of men who are only interested in material gain. They are descended from Steppe Herder Ancestry where wealth was mobile and could be stolen.
Think about the displays of Odysseus’ wealth in the Odyssey. It’s very explicit. It’s livestock. Not grain, not agriculture. These men DISPLACED the Agriculturists! They co-opted agriculture but perverted it completely into a system of acquiring material wealth rather than something intended to heal and support communities.
This developed into a culture of legal raiding. First livestock but when Britain, a seafaring power, was acquired by the empire, it morphed into Privateering (Piratetry) and the particular brand of colonisation these people are known for today. They show up to a land of plenty (like North America) and they artificially create scarcity so that they can enslave the population to a currency. Now, if you need food, you have to give them dollars.
This is why Privateering is glamourised in popular culture. Johnny Depp has Indigenous Ancestry. He knows better.
The reason the dollar has this legitimacy is not because oil is traded in it. It is because you pay taxes in it. All the resources to do the things they have you convinced your taxes pay for, they already have and they do not need from you. Most elites don’t pay taxes. That’s why so often you’ll see one of them made an example of. Usually that is to keep these people in line. They’ve done something to suggest they are not under complete control. These elites usually have handlers who play that role for them. Kanye has a male handler. That strikes me as unusual because even these homosexual celebrities like Will Smith have female handlers. (Jada Pinkett) Ozzy Osbourne, John Lennon. But if they suggest they aren’t under total control you will see them get in trouble for evading taxes. Just look at the history of this and how well it parallels with someone who appears to be bucking the system. Dave Chapelle had a similar thing happen to him. He got back from South Africa and was like, “I’ll be gall-danged if someone is going to control me.” I don’t know what happened to him after that but he’s 100% back in line. SO is Lauryn Hill.
They do this to convince you to pay taxes. Everything has more than just a single purpose. You look at that and say, “Shh… if they’ll lock Lauryn Hill up for not paying taxes, I better pay mine!”
It’s an illusion, y’all. You think they are going after people who live off grid for taxes? You think they are going after people who haven’t bothered to file for years? If they do that it’s the above. It’s just to launder the idea they are enforcing something they don’t have the infrastructure to enforce.
So, what happens when Americans stop paying taxes? See if you can answer that based on what I just explained to you.
