I like your quote "to their intrinsic value of nothing." Some how they managed to take it from nothing to negative 20 trillion nothing.
It has to be the MK Ultra Mind Control they flashed on the closing day credits of old TV broadcast. A very cool video demonstrating this can be viewed here.
I think the only reason they got away with a fraud so large is a combination of chemical, visual and audio mind control. Once the technology got to the point where it surpassed this old trick the whole thing started to come apart. About mid 2014 the blinders came off and people started waking up.
Who would willingly work for an empty glass that never can be filled? Think about it. A single glass sits on a table. You fill it up 20 trillion times and it is still empty. Then I tell you that because it is empty its worth something. A total mind scrape.
