If I Were Greece

People are not countries, of course, but you can understand my confusion after the US Supreme Court ruled corporations are people. Countries are incorporated, after all. It's all very confusing.

However, if I were Greece, if I could make all of the decisions for an entire country, I would do for Greece exactly what I would do for the United States, given the chance.

First of all, the current system is so corrupt that absolutely every contract is in question. Add that to the fact that every contract ever written is likely agreed upon under duress by one side of the contract. The other side usually has the power of law enforce whatever “contract” they write. The world is unfair.

So, basically, nothing the Greeks have agreed to thus far has been fair to them. That should be a given.

Next, of course, the bankers aren't really loaning the Greeks anything at all. They are printing the money out of thin air (over here at the Federal Reserve) and charging interest on smoke and mirrors. Nobody's savings is being tapped, no German has yet to miss a meal for a Greek. Not one meal, yet.

Eventually, the bankers will hit the Euro nations for the Greek dinner bill plus interest. Not that the Greeks will get to eat, much. A few months respite is all they can hope for until the bankers return with more demands for more interest.

The Greeks are already so “austere” people are starving. This “bailout” just means more cuts for the people while Greek banks fix their balance sheets. Same as here, folks.

A deal under usury is never fair. Usury is interest. Interest is cheating. Are you understanding, yet?

Look, there have been books written on using other people's money (credit) to leverage your ideas but they only work for some people (or countries.) Overall, most people have to “lose” leverage because bankers insist upon being paid exorbitant fees (interest) for their trivial services. They create money against your collateral and credit. Collecting payments is the hardest part, but that's outsourced.

The money only they may create is how bankers shape their world. They own the courts, the educational system, the entertainment industry and nearly all of the top corporations. The same people sit on the boards of multiple companies. Their families now rule over ours by the right of compound interest. Money just multiplies money for these people – but someone has to foot the bill and that's us.

Everything these criminals do is not only legal, but moral and honest according to their beliefs.

Greece should just press RESET. All deals reopened to negotiation, interest free. All interest outlawed. Of course, the Drachma would work as a good name for interest-free units of exchange.

Really, Greece should just close their borders and trade amongst themselves in sovereign money. They showed us democracy thousands of years ago, perhaps the Greeks still have something to teach us.

Whereas Our Money is Worthless

Whereas it is acknowledged that ALL money is created out of thin air but good money is backed by collateral. Money without collateral is not money but counterfeit scrip.

Whereas Federal Reserve Notes are private scrip but US Dollars should be sovereign money.

Whereas the people are sovereign and so should equally share the right to create money at no interest.

Whereas if you pay a banker interest on your own credit then you're just a dumb ass.

We do hereby resolve to outlaw the taking of interest.

We further resolve to outlaw the Federal Reserve Act.

Only US Dollars issued from a Treasury Bank (on sufficient collateral, interest-free) will be legal tender for all debts public and private. Treasury Banks are government entities authorized to create money of thin air against available collateral. Loans will be for the remaining life of the collateral.

If you took a $100,000 loan from a federal bank at zero interest (validated by a government employee on full salary) for a new home, your payment would be $83.33 per month for 100 years (lifespan of a new home.) It is the control of your money that is bankrupting the world. Stop it. NOW.

More Math

P < P + I

The interest is never created.

Interest doubles the cost of virtually everything, only for the benefit of bankers.

American People Deserve American Money

The American public has lost a lot of respect around the world, but nothing they might do deserves the punishment they have received from the bankers. I am not speaking of the current crisis, but the whole of the impoverishment meted out since the coup of 1913.

It was upon a dark day in December, well after the westerners had boarded their trains for the holidays, that the old money bankers got their half of the politicians to vote in the Federal Reserve Act. The same year saw the passing of the 16^th Amendment which of course created a new animal called a taxpayer.

Taxes and banks are directly related. Banks loan to governments and the people pay the interest (and more) through taxes. If you are a politician or a banker, it's a great system.

If you're some poor schmuck born in the ghetto, you will be living life at a serious disadvantage to the folks up in Kennebunkport. That's just the luck of the draw. There is nothing any of us can do about our starting position in life. After that, things get complicated.

You know where I'm going. Our circumstances often dictate our decisions. Choices are not always financially available to everyone. Public schools in poverty-stricken neighborhoods are not good.

You can complete the fire drill of problems America faces today for which there is “no money” to pay for the fixing of anything. Are we to watch our bridges fall down and our dams burst just so that we might make this month's payment to the financial wizards in Europe?

It's not like the Europeans know how to operate money. All but the money-lending nations are bankrupt. I sense a pattern. Can you still buy Swiss Francs? Most nations are too far in debt.

Anyone with any common sense understands how the current international economic situation is going to play out – everyone is going to demand to be paid whatever they are owed. No one wants to be stuck holding the bag. The debts are too large, anyway. There is not enough wealth to pay it all off.

P < P + I

Where P is principal and I is interest. The equation itself is our supposed economy.

Money is created whenever a loan is made from a bank. Say you borrow $100,000 to buy a house, P equals $100,000.

Notice that the interest owed on the loan is not created. The borrower will have to scurry for that.

When you take a bank loan for $100,000 that money is created out of thin air, but is backed by the existence of the house you are purchasing.

As long as a dollar is backed by a dollar's worth of wealth, then there is no change in the value of a dollar. This is a stable economy (a balanced equation.) You can think of this as:

P = P

Where things go wrong is when a dollar is created without a dollar of collateral. Charging interest on the creation of a dollar brings us back to where we live today:

P < P + I (imbalanced economy that can only spiral into bankruptcy.)

Federal Reserve Notes (what passes for “money” today) are created at interest, with the interest going to private bankers no one can identify. “Investors” they're called. Rich people who own everything.

The Sovereign right to coin money is long established in international law. We the People deserve our money back, don't we? Let's take it back and create it interest free as it should be. Outlaw interest.

Usury is Greed in Action

Our dictionaries do not reveal the true definition of usury. They redefine the archaic meaning of “any interest at all” as “too much interest.” Neither claim is true.

Usury means any violation of our human rights. Usury is cheating or “taking advantage” of others.

My rights end where your rights begin – and vice versa. When one of us violates the others rights, that is called usury. There is no place for usury in civilization. We must respect each others rights!

There are, of course, a number of moral arguments to eliminating usury. Ask your clergy about this.

Luke 6:31 outlines the Golden Rule. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

This simple rule is a solid basis for a new society based upon fairness and respect for others.

My Beef with Doctor Ron Paul

If Dr. Paul were honest about serving the best interests of the American people, he would not have ignored the only known and documented solution to the worldwide debt crisis. Unlike most of you, Ron Paul (and President Obama) was offered the opportunity to endorse Mathematically Perfected Economy(TM) but chose to suppress the truth about how money really works.

Every President from Reagan onward has chosen to eat while you and I work. Anything that meets their criteria is OK by them. All of them, have chosen to continue a system that mainly benefits a very small number of people. In the United States, 400 people currently own more stuff than 150 million others.

Is it really possible that such a system is fair, or have we all been deceived?

Ron Paul has been engrossed in this deception for many years. Nothing has changed.

Dr. Paul thinks we'd all be better off if only we pay higher interest. Have you ever demanded to pay higher interest? I didn't think so. This, my friends, is the essence of excrement.

I am not the brightest bulb on the tree and neither is Ron Paul. If I can figure out the American people are getting the shaft from usurious bankers and he can't, then maybe I should run for President.

Anyway, I've decided to engage Stockton, CA in my spare time as part of #OccupyStockton.

The Unraveling

UK Riots

This is the unraveling of "civilization" from the edges. Just as Somalia starves, so do the disenfranchised riot. Those with the least financial resources will succumb first. Don't blame them for going down swinging. Not understanding WHY you're being screwed doesn't change the experience. Will your government respect you in the morning? Google usury.

As more realize there is no realistic future within the current economic paradigm, they will strike out at whoever seems to possess whatever they covet. The deck is stacked against the poor and they instinctively know it. Taxing income instead of wealth is extra evil (governments owe citizens taxes.) Outlaw interest and only outlaws will charge interest.

The last two depressions ended with world-wide "booms." Ask a German for details.
