Daily Show Explains the Pyramid Economy

I tried to comment (as follows) on this clip, but had to register for the site and still await my email invitation...GS, of course, is Goldman-Sachs (AKA The Great Vampire Squid)

Are there really just four comments for this clip?

This is great stuff. Now, Jon, tell us who runs GS?

Like nearly everything else of consequence, GS is operated by the same folks. Teeny tiny percentage of people. They run the world, don't they, Jon?

The purpose of incorporation is to limit individual liability. GS is not real. No real person has been held liable for the widespread fraud that has led to our economic depression. Understandable, since private money as fiat is a fraud imposed upon America for nearly 100 years.

It is possible to profit from your labor (physical or mental) but it is impossible to profit from usury (including interest.) Eventually, mathematics will trump greed and when the world owes more than it can pay we wind up where we are right now.

Compounded interest compounds misery. Money is infinite but credit is not. We have the money to fix the world, but our controllers won't allow it. Changing to real money without interest would destroy their infinite wealth machine. They would have to work for a living.

Japan's government criticizes nuke plant operator

Please read this short article for context:

Outsourcing electrical generation to private industry is as successful as outsourcing water, sewage and road construction. Privatization of public infrastructure monopolies diverts money that could be spent on safety to private profit.

Why do you suppose the IMF demands infrastructure privatization in return for government bailouts?

Imagine your government charged a modest profit on the services currently outsourced to private parties. Would taxes be as high? Would service suffer, or would the agencies involved be more accountable? I think public utilities should be owned and operated by the public. There should be no Tokyo Electric Power Co. to criticize.

Our money is outsourced also. Private banking demands interest that drives costs so high we can pay for two or three nuclear reactors with what we spend on one. Money is of great public utility -- ask anyone who lacks it. Money is the grease that keeps the wheels of commerce turning.

Interest-free money available through governmental loans would put Wall Street and the banks out of the lending business. I'm sure there are other businesses they can pervert.

As it is, perhaps Tokyo Electric Power Co. will go bankrupt but the people owning and operating the company will have limited liability. When PG&E Company went bankrupt in California as a result of Enron energy price manipulation, PG&E Corporation (the holding company for PG&E Co.) went unscathed. (http://www.pgecorp.com/investors/)

With the uprisings and wars in the Middle East, nuclear contamination in Japan and world-wide financial Armageddon, isn't it time we think about preserving civilization before profits? Warren Buffet has already licked his chops perusing Japanese investment opportunities.

Meanwhile, the Japanese government "admonishes" a private company for their own failure to properly administer the public welfare.

War Racketeering

01/20/11

(Personal note: I have returned from the edge of death for the 3rd time, at least. I'm breathing much easier thanks to treatment for another bilateral pulmonary embolism. I get these so often I wonder if my employer thinks I'm faking it? You can't fake blood clots in your lungs. Happy Birthday, Tommy.)

The term “usury kills” is not some hypothetical “belief,” it is an observation – a fact. Usury is really any abuse of the Golden Rule – do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Understanding usury is the key to living as a free person in a fair society. Simply, usury is cheating in any form.

Chris Hedges, a remarkable writer, sums up nicely how wars are manipulated for profit.


The Military Industrial Complex Ike warned us about 50 years ago now dictates foreign policy. Even the president understands the wishes of the money power are for more money and more power. Whoever gets in their way is crushed. Kennedy. King. Gandhi for crying out loud.

I reckon 1933 rhymes with 2011 after all. Things appear eerily the same, but different. For now, it's better this time. You don't have to stand in line for soup, you just pay with electronic debit. The taxpayers are good for it.

The taxpayers are already “all in” at $667,000 a head. We're broke. That's two-thirds of a million over your lifetime and, of course, the lifetimes of all US citizens whether capable of earning money or not.

I have seven people living in a broken down house in Stockton and we owe a collective $4.67 million. Two here are so tiny they won't have any income at all for about twenty years! Imagine the interest on what we owe. Every baby born is consumed by debt at birth. Our nation enslaved to bankers by debt.

Between what you know you owe and all that government debt, there's hardly a drop left to live on. People live paycheck to paycheck while most of their income funds the very process that squeezes their lives dry.

We are left to shiver before our flickering televisions – an inexpensive diversion that substitutes for a full life. When will we catch some of that happiness we are said to pursue? Are we waiting for things to get better? Meanwhile, our leaders are certainly fixing things – in their favor.

What happens when a country can't pay its bills? Who bails US out?

Nine Laws Too Many

George Carlin once reduced the Ten Commandments to two key concepts:

1) Thou shalt always be honorable and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.

2) Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless, of course, they pray to a different invisible man to the one you pray to.

Jesus got it down to one, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

When you purchase a board game from Wal-Mart, you expect the rules to be comprehensible and fair.

Imagine playing a game where you always lose. Oh, wait. Never mind.

So, how are you today? Feeling pleasant? Slightly uncomfortable, perhaps?

It is absolutely incomprehensible how many laws people are required to follow. What is the point of so many laws? Once, ten was more than enough. Why do we now need millions?

How many ways can We The People be outraged? Laws react to outrageous conduct. Regulations aren't laws – if you want to count regulations as laws I suppose we face billions. Nearly everybody regulates something. Almost all regulation/law is blatantly unconstitutional – but who cares? They are enforced.

So many laws lead to so many interpretations that anything can be legal if you're connected. You know who's connected because they have investments. Investors may not run this place but they have a working relationship with those who do. The boys at the top spread a piece of the action around.

Instead of complicating our societal rules, we should be simplifying them. We shouldn't have to ask some lawyer for legal advice every time we want to spit downwind. We should be able to defend ourselves in a court of law. There can't be more than a handful of base crimes.

Ten laws would be too many for a just society. Jesus' one rule can be translated as “Don't cheat.” Almost every law that exists came into being because someone cheated. We should just determine whether something is a cheat and if so penalize the cheater – penalty to vary with severity.

Current society only accepts the law, “Get it in writing.” Contract law. How the contract was coerced is hardly consequential. Naturally, money power dominates all contracts. In truth, most current contracts would be invalid in a society that values fairness. Fairness is what is missing from our lives.

Agreements can be forced, but fairness will always be objective (or it's not fair.)

Conspiracy Theory

Everybody I know thinks I'm a conspiracy theorist. I helpfully explain that the conspiracy is out in the open, it's a conspiracy to rob you of as much money as they possibly can. Who? All of them.

So, who are they? You know who they are. If you don't know who they are then you aren't one of them.

These guys are really bad. They are capable of doing anything, just ask Wendell Berry. They take the tops right of off mountains. They bankrupt entire nations.

They have bought enough of the world to make sure the rest is owed to them.

Of course, they're robbing us blind. We step in more evidence of their corruption each day.

Yes, there is a conspiracy and it's about more than just your money. They want to control your lives. Do you wonder why there are so many laws when ten once seemed like a lot? The law is there to protect the investments of the moneyed class.

There are only two classes of society in America, the investment class and everybody else.

The ruling class designed the economic game we're all playing. They made the rules and they enforce them. They claim the people gave up sovereign money by Act of Congress, forgetting who afforded congress such a privilege. Don't bother asking the Supreme Court to overturn the law.

Moneychanging is an ancient swindle but these guys have perfected the art.

A Return to Jekyll Island

The Origins, History, and Future of the Federal Reserve - November 5-6, 2010

Forbes magazine founder Bertie Charles Forbes describes the conspiratorial nature of the secret meeting on Jekyll Island in 1910:

Picture a party of the nation’s greatest bankers stealing out of New York on a private railroad car under cover of darkness, stealthily riding hundred of miles South, embarking on a mysterious launch, sneaking onto an island deserted by all but a few servants, living there a full week under such rigid secrecy that the names of not one of them was once mentioned, lest the servants learn the identity and disclose to the world this strangest, most secret expedition in the history of American finance. I am not romancing; I am giving to the world, for the first time, the real story of how the famous Aldrich currency report, the foundation of our new currency system, was written… The utmost secrecy was enjoined upon all. The public must not glean a hint of what was to be done. Senator Aldrich notified each one to go quietly into a private car of which the railroad had received orders to draw up on an unfrequented platform. Off the party set. New York’s ubiquitous reporters had been foiled… Nelson (Aldrich) had confided to Henry, Frank, Paul and Piatt that he was to keep them locked up at Jekyll Island, out of the rest of the world, until they had evolved and compiled a scientific currency system for the United States, the real birth of the present Federal Reserve System, the plan done on Jekyll Island in the conference with Paul, Frank and Henry… Warburg is the link that binds the Aldrich system and the present system together. He more than any one man has made the system possible as a working reality.

Here is the real conspiracy, folks.



Griffin does a fine job exposing the cabal, but believes gold is money.

FED INVESTS HEAVILY IN DEBT SLAVERY

Fed to buy $600 billion in bonds to aid economy

The safest investment extracts profit directly from taxes. These people don't know how to earn money, so they just legally steal it. They borrow money from "us" for virtually nothing and then trade that scrip for our obligation to pay them back at interest. What outrageous theft! Are we renting our own chains from our masters? They get the profit and we get the payments. What honest government would allow this? Our government should just counterfeit the money directly at lower cost if it wants to bolster inflation, or we could borrow money from ourselves since we're the ones always stuck paying it back, anyway. Imagine not paying interest, I wonder if you can.

You are a slave being milked dry by your "betters." They know what's good for you and will tell you so.

Imagine what 14 Trillion dollars would have built if we had an honest government. Imagine how many jobs fourteen trillion dollars would create. They have spent far more than $14T, I think.

But we can't even audit the Federal Reserve or Fort Knox so how will we ever know how much money has been promised for the banks. It's all promises, of course. No one has that much money.

If you would like to avoid the coming chaotic collapse, perhaps you can reason out Mathematically Perfected Economy(TM) while there is still time.
