> economic manipulation the protocols describe plans to destabilize economies and monopolize wealth through control of banks, loans, and interest rates. this supposedly involves creating financial crises to weaken governments and consolidate control. the controlling of banks and financial institutions allows for the regulating of interest rates, the creation of debt cycles, and intentional inflation. instigating financial crises erodes wealth and increases dependence on the hidden rulers of the economy. the protocols also includes the promotion of materialism to encourage people to live beyond their means to keep them financially dependent. ---
