Many visitors to this site have contacted me with valued critique and numerous common questions.
We have been taught incorrect information from all levels of schooling, media sources and especially government...Face it, there is a great number of vested interests who need to keep the myths and fraud alive.
The man pictured to the right is the new Federal Reserve Chairman - Ben Bernanke. He is, without a doubt, The Great and Powerful Wizard of OZ, who by far has more power and influence than any past, present or future President of The USA Inc.
There is irony in mentioning Mr. Bernanke here: Like the epic: THE WIZARD OF OZ, wherein Emerald City wasn't green - the citizens were forced to wear green glasses - Ben too, has a vested interest in seeing that his slaves wear blinders.
Yet, most of the information provided here is NOT some weird, obtuse monetary theory written by a local malecontent - it is information FREELY provided by the very same Federal Reserve System Mr. Bernanke chairs. Imagine that!
QUESTION: "Why does the fed print the truth on monetary matters if they are part of the program to keep us dumb and enslaved?"
ANSWER: We live in a democracy - the worst form of government known to man. A government controlled by the majority, and it matters not if the majority are educated or ignorant...A form of government wherein sports fans, soccer moms, Joe Sixpacks, mall shoppers, the uneducated and unemployed, rock stars...can VOTE!
How many people striving to survive, have time to read fed publications? 1 - 5 %???
And lets say 5% do read and UNDERSTAND fed publications? What damage, in a democracy, can they do? When a select few have the incredible ability/power to "create" effortlessly the medium of exchange - IMAGINARY or not - they will "buy" anyone and do anything to protect this power, including media, teachers, preachers...etc.By the way, the "fed" is actually a friend in our effort to understand and correct this credit nightmare...HEY, they print the truth, what is wrong with that? Many in the "fed" know this system is shaky, but it isn't their job to correct the mess we are in...Guess whose job it is? (Ah yes, "When good men do nothing...")
QUESTION: "Do you advocate gold backed money?"
ANSWER: NO! An utter impossibility! 'Money' is psychological - It can only exist in the brain...like the term FURNITURE. You can use a chair, bed, couch...AS furniture, but there is no furniture per say. You can use gold, silver, wheat, bullets...AS money, but there is no money per say. If gold is the money, how would you "back it"? If gold is the money, what price could be on gold?
QUESTION: "Since gold was once money in the USA, and we went back to gold, would there be enough gold for all monetary transactions?"
ANSWER: Once people understand the term - PARITY - (The value of one item expressed in the value of another - example: Paper can be used as money, but it may take two truck loads of paper to buy a car that one ounce of gold could), then you will understand that just a cup full of gold would be enough for ALL transactions.
But why limit it to gold? Silver, Iron, Copper...etc could all be used as money, and with modern day computer tills, conversions amongst metals (PARITY of gold to iron for example) could easily be calculated.
QUESTION: "What would you use as money?"
ANSWER: A wide variety of metals in coin form, and if you don't like carrying coinage, then use 100% redeemable warehouse receipts...Just as long as the metal, or wheat, or frozen orange juice was on deposit in direct proportion to the reciepts issued and could be redeemed upon demand. NO INFLATION, NO DEBT...PARADISE!
QUESTION: "Why did they steal our gold in 1934 and silver in 1968?"
ANSWER: Very simple: So they could get us dependent on what they effortlessly create, instead of being dependent on what we once produced. NO MODERN WARS could be fought if we universally used SOMETHING AS money! President Lincoln knew that if he was going to prosecute a war with the South, and needed people to pay for it with their gold/silver in coin form...there wasn't going to be any war. That is why he devised and introduced GREENBACKS. And since that time, all wars were made possible by credit is debt is monetized debt is MONEY.
Face it, in a truly free society, if you had to dig in your pocket for every war, welfare scheme, pork barrel project and government scam...it would end over night.
And the best news is civil servants would be dependent upon you for their survival! Free people don't fear their servant - THEY FIRE THEM! Ah, PARADISE!
QUESTION: "I teach sociology at an Illinois college - what would happen to me in your system?"
ANSWER: If enough parents and/or students saw value in your goods or services, they will pay you for them. If not, try painting houses or produce something society wants.
QUESTION: "Who would build the roads, schools, hospitals, churches...?"
ANSWER: The people who want or need them. People who want to be in the construction, education, health care and relig-biz businesses...They would be built/run for PROFIT. Actually, if there was a payments mechanism, the gas tax is the fairest form of taxation...those who drive pay for the roads, those who walk - don't! Yet, who would believe governments can build/do anything better than private sector sources???
QUESTION: "What would happen to foreign aid, foreign policy...a particular nation's interests abroad?"
ANSWER: In a free society, you are able to spend your wealth as you see fit...want to give it away to charity or foreign governments? Go ahead. Just keep your hands out of my pockets. Who still believes US "interests" abroad are my interests - or yours? I didn't lose anything overseas.
QUESTION: "What is the National Debt and why is it so big and how could we ever pay it off?"
ANSWER: The "National Debt" is nothing more that a RECORD of all the wealth transferred from the hands of the producers to the hands of those who create the credit to effortlessly steal it away from the producers.Remember, the SOLE purpose for creating "money" (credit) is to obtain wealth without having to PAY for it. Since "WE" didn't steal the wealth, "WE" don't need to "pay it off". Those who stole it must return the wealth to the producers, and a good start would be to bring the bankrupt US Government into bankruptcy proceedings.
QUESTION: "How do you pay your bills...?"
ANSWER: I don't - I can't. I have nothing with which TO PAY. "Federal Reserve Notes" - 1's, 5's, 10's..."dollar bills" (By the way, they aren't FEDERAL, embrace NO RESERVES and aren't NOTES by definition of "a note") are debt instruments which can only, if accepted, DEFER payment - Period. "Checks" are merely written orders to a bank instructing the bank "TO PAY" the money, and since banks have nothing on deposit, they cannot PAY either. (By the way, it is impossible to rob a bank today unless you steal the potted plants or the pens used to sign notes). So, what is left for me to obtain goods and services? How do I get them? SIMPLE: I pass very clever counterfeit of notes that once bore a promise of redeemption.
