Rich Bastids

The Rich "Bastids"

Did you ever wonder where the bankers get all the money they lend to anybody and everybody that can still breathe? I've been asking that question for years, ever since my dad bought a five-bedroom home in a very nice, middle class neighborhood, in a small Vermont town for $5,000.

From the time I was old enough to know that money bought things, I'd been hearing the big people (adults) telling me to save money and put it in the bank, so I figured that I and lots of other people in the town put our money in bank savings accounts and then the bankers loaned it to people like my dad.

Since I believed that I had figured out the answer, I didn't bother to think much more about banks and money lending until years later when I heard President Eisenhower on television telling us that he had hired the best economic experts in the entire nation and none of them could figure out what caused inflation.

He was telling us that some unknown, and credibly-vile monster, called inflation, had reared its ugly head and stolen the value out of the entire country's money. The feeling in the message was like the gloom and doom monster had ascended out of hell and was eating the heart our of our nation.

Well, to me, that was like hearing that the boogey man would get me at night if I didn't eat my spinach. It just didn't make any sense, so again, I began musing about money, wondering why they President was telling us this wild-assed story and wondering what really did/does cause inflation. The first thing I did was get out the dictionary and look up "inflation." Here's what I found: "INFLATION: An increase in the amount of money in circulation resulting in a relatively sharp and sudden fall in its value and a rise in prices."

I, a kid from a hick town, had the answer right in front of me written in plain easy-to-understand words in a dictionary and the President of the United States didn't know what caused inflation. I thought about writing the president a letter telling him what I learned in grammar school: "Get out out a dictionary and look up the meaning of words that you don't understand."

I immediately realized that the President and all his experts couldn't possible be that stupid. There was something else going on, some kind of con game was being peddled. They were attempting to cover up something, but what were they hiding? I asked my dad, but he wasn't any help. All he could do was repeat his contempt for the people he called "the rich bastids"

His response caused me to wonder if rich people really were bastards, and why they had gobs of money and the rest of us didn't. Then I began to wonder where did "the rich "bastids" get all their money they were lending? It couldn't have come from people like me who had money in their bank accounts. Almost nobody that I knew of had much money and besides the banks had already loaned that money to people like my dad.

The politicians would talk about spending a few million here; a billion or so over there. In those days, politicians considered a million dollars to be a lot of money. Where was all that money coming from? And then there was "The National Debt." What was that all about? Who had all those billions of dollars that our politicians borrowed and on which the taxpayers were paying interest? Most of the money came from a collection of twelve private banks called "The Federal Reserve." Where did those bankers get all that money? It wasn't until years later that the truth dawned on me. The bankers were and still are running the ultimate con game -- Plucked From The Air

Plucked From the Air

Here's a piece of financial truth that you won't find in your school's economics books. It's so far out that even when you read this, you probably won't believe it.

Where did/do the bankers get all those billions of dollars that our politicians borrow and on which you and I are paying interest? They didn't and they don't have any money to lend. They plucked it from the air! The bankers lend make-believe money that they create by declaring nothing to be something.

Their loans are the modern day, secular version of the medieval Catholic church's financial con game of selling something that doesn't exist. In the middle ages, the Catholic church sold tickets to heaven. Selling God's forgiveness of sins for money was called Selling Indulgencies.

Today, we have the bankers selling something that doesn't exist. They charge you and me interest for the use of non-existent, fairytale money. The banker's make-believe money is called Fiat Money, and they've given the process a nice-sounding name. It's called "Deficit Financing." Deficit financing sounds innocent enough until you find out that "Deficit Financing" is actually Orwell's 1984 "Newspeak" for "Secretly steal the value out of people's money". It's like "friendly fire" and "collateral damage." As long as you don't know what the words mean you can pretend that everything is OK. Let's look a bit closer at the process.

Renting a Fairytale:

The banking industry is unique among businesses because it's the only industry that can lend/sell a non-existent product and charge people rent (interest) on the use of its product. Rental-Business-Owners can't get customers to pay rent for the use on non-existent cars, or for the use of non-existent tuxedos or non-existent bicycles? How many people are going to go to a restaurant and pay for a non-existent dinner or pay rent for the use of a non-existent house or a non-existent apartment?

And at the same time, right now, you and I (and everybody else who owes money to a bank or to a credit card company) are paying our hard-earned money (transferring some of our real goods and services) to the super-wealthy money lenders for the use of their make-believe, fairytale money.

Renting a Fairytale:

Most of you will recall the childhood game called "Monopoly." In this game, there were little pieces of colored paper with numbers on them that represented money? Those pieces of paper had value in the game only, and they had value only because everybody playing the game, played as if those little pieces of paper were actually valuable.

Well, the money in you wallet is the same thing in a large, real-life, financial game designed many years ago by the super-wealthy men who created the Federal Reserve. It's called "Fiat Money." Fiat money is a gloried form of "Monopoly" money. The fiat money system has been applied to the economy for so long that most people have no idea what real money is or what fiat money is, and how fiat money used to secretly steal the value out of the real money you earn by your blood, sweat, and tears. (See the postage stamp example below on this page.)

Fiat money is nothing more than bookkeeping ledger entries or it's paper money which the Federal Reserve creates on their printing presses with absolutely no supervision. The real value in this money is zero, zip, nada, nothing. It steals its value from the money already in the economy -- from the money in your wallet, in your bank accounts, and in your retirement investments.

The finance industry charges its customers hard-earned, interest money (money created with blood, sweat and tears) for the use of this non-existent, make-believe money that they (the bankers) simply plucked from the air or printed on the Federal Reserve's counterfeit-money printing presses. With this make-believe money, the bankers control, dominate, and milk the people for real money (for real goods and services).

Here's How the Fiat Money System Works:

The super-wealthy have set up a banking and financial system that replaces real money with fairytale, make-believe money called fiat money. It's money not because it has intrinsic value. It has value by declaration only. Real money is a form of goods and services. Our founding father new what real money was. In the United States Constitution defines money as gold and silver only.

Fiat money is a counterfeit receipt -- a receipt for goods and services that don't exist. The super-wealthy, by way of their agents, the twelve privately-owned banks that make up the Federal Reserve, have simply declared that they (and they alone) have the right to create the counterfeit receipts that we commonly call money. They print receipts for non-existent goods and services, and pretend that their receipts have real value.

Every time they add more fiat money to the financial system, that new, fiat money steals its value from the money already in the monetary system. Remember the definition of inflation: "An increase in the amount of money in circulation resulting in a relatively sharp and sudden fall in its value and a rise in prices."

As you may recall, in the fall of 2009, the Federal Reserve gave billions of these make-believe dollars to the major banks and set in motion an inflation cycle that is still expanding today. That's why you pay higher prices for gasoline, food, rent, medicine, and everything else you buy. Your dollars are less-valuable, therefore it takes more of them to pay for your goods and services. Here's a simple example: In 1913, the year that the Federal Reserve took control of the American monetary system, a postage stamp cost one cent (one penny). Today, 2010, the cost is forty-four cents (44¢). Did you ever wonder why? Well, now you know.

Who Really Pays the Bills?

Here's another piece of financial truth that you won't find in your school's economics books:

Most politicians say the costs for deficit financing are paid by future generations, but the data does not support such claims. The evidence tells us a very different story. All you have to do is re-read the definition of inflation to see who pays the bill. INFLATION: "An increase in the amount of money in circulation resulting in a relatively sharp and sudden fall in its value and a rise in prices." The answer is in the last four words, "a rise in prices."

Most of the costs for deficit financing are paid by the people buying goods and services in the present economy. The price of everything goes up. The price rises usually take six months to two years to show up, but it's you and I who are paying for the latest round of multi-billion-dollar bank bailouts and not the future genreations.

Technically, the future generations actually do pay more dollars for their goods and services, so you could say that the politician are partially correct. The problem here is that the politicians are using the socially-acceptable technique known a Lie of Omission. (i.e. leaving out a vital piece of the truth) They ignore the present-day affect, and most people do not know that they are being deceived.

What the politicians don't tell us is that when the economy stabilizes at the new dollar value, the future generations also collect more dollars from their labor. This tends to offset the rise in prices. The net result is that future generations actually pay only a small percent of the costs for deficit financing. Most of the costs are paid for by the present generation. The hardest hit are the people living on fixed incomes, such as the elderly, the poor, and the disabled.

You and I Are Cash Cows, and We're Being Milked for Money:

Today, the bankers are powerful enough to manipulate the entire nation's economy. One of their control techniques is to alternate between expanding and squeezing the nation's money supply.

In this process, they entice (and/or create the necessity for) small business owners, the general public, and people like you and me to borrow the banker's make-believe money. We work diligently to produce goods and services and then we must give/pay some of our real goods and services to the money lenders (fees and interest charges) as payment for the use of their non-existent, make-believe, fairytale, fiat money.

(Reference: What real wealth is and isn't.)

Then while we produce the real wealth and while millions of us struggle just to survive, the super-wealthy go into the nation's market places and exchange their make-believe money (their fake receipts) for real goods and service and live extravagant lifestyles using this stolen wealth.

This technique for milking the public for money has been going on for so many years (since 1913) that it's considered normal and almost nobody questions the validity of our fairytale banking system.

Redesign and/or Replace

Before you start pointing fingers at the bankers, or at the President, or at anybody else, please stop, take in a deep breath, and exhale slowly. Then consider the following: It's the system that's broken and not the people running it. The money lender are sleepwalkers addicted to making money and they mindlessly do as money addicts and sleepwalkers do.

Given their training, their mental conditioning, their belief systems, their brain chemistry, and their present circumstances, we'd very likely be doing the same thing the so-called bad guys are doing. The bankers are not bad guys. There aren't any bad guys, only people doing the best they can, given their belief systems and under the conditions and circumstances that they find themselves in.

When the present financial system was put in place in the United States, we know little or nothing about psychology, about compulsive behavior, addictive behavior, brain chemistry and all the other fascinating things we presently know about what dictates and controls human behavior.

The present financial system and the present corporate structures were both created by the super-wealthy men of the late 1800's and early 1900's. These highly unethical, unscrupulous men are known as the "Robber Barons." They designed everything for themselves at the expense of everyone and everything else.

If they are like their modern-day counterparts, and their behavior indicates that were, they too, were addicted to the dopamine produced in their brains from making large amounts of money. They, too, were addicted to High-Stakes High-Risk Gamblers and addicted to The Thrill of Experiencing Physical Danger and/or the danger of monetary disaster. They too, were addicted to power and control.

Because history has repeatedly proven that very few human can handle unbridled power, we desperately need a financial system and a basic corporate business structure that are dramatically different from the ones we have now. We require a monetary system and a corporate business structure that takes into account the nature of human behavior. The new systems needs to include:

A) A built-in structure for executive supervision --i.e. a built in watchdog system -- a system that catches problems before they reach the disaster stage.

B) An outside, objective feedback system, --i.e. a system that gives executives a disattached, objective, other-side-of-the-fence perspective on what they are doing.

C) A structure for day-today, executive accountability --i.e. a system that removes incompetent executives before they produce major problems like the Enron Financial Fiasco and the Gulf of Mexico environmental disaster.

We can't go back and undo our mistakes, but we can learn form them. We can redesign our financial system and our corporate business structures to minimize future problems. Here are two solutions for your consideration:

Debt-Free Democracy Takes Over the Corporate World

Urgency for Action

One other thing you need to be aware of. Our present financial and corporate systems are the major source or our environmental problems. We cannot save our environment unless we first transform our financial system.

The need for action is urgent. We cannot wait until next week, or next month or next year to take action. Action is required now! Here's the urgency:

Human activity has triggered the now automatic and self-expanding release of 10,000 billion tons of methane presently frozen in the Arctic Circle. Methane is twenty times more destructive to the environment than carbon dioxide. Each year, the amount of this gas being released is increasing. To say this more bluntly: We've turned on Nature's Doomsday Machine.

We have only about five more years left to begin taking major steps (and we mean major steps) to stop Runaway Global Climate Change. After this window of opportunity closes, we will no longer have the capacity to stop the Arctic Circle methane release. If we fail to take action now, within a matter of a few decades, Runaway Global Climate Change will produce results so profound and so drastic and so devastating that any humans who survive these the changes will find little left that is even recognizable.

If you think our assessment of the time we have left before Global Climate Change becomes unstoppable is inaccurate and too short,

And one other thing, If you bet against the accuracy of our climate change statements and your wrong, you've just killed you present or future grand children! Is that a bet you want to make?

We challenge you to prove us wrong!

Money as a Storage of Wealth

Real money has ten basic attributes and purposes. One of them is: "Money is a tool for storing wealth for future use." Fiat money is an incredible poor tool for storing wealth because it's value is constantly being reduced by inflation.

As the value of the fiat money goes down, the value of everything measured in fiat dollars also goes down. Bank accounts, IRA retirement funds, stocks, bonds, and the like are all tied to the value of fiat money. When the value of fiat money goes down (when its purchasing power goes down), the value of your bank accounts, retirement funds, stock, bonds, and the like also decrease.

Here are the two cardinal rules for storing wealth:

1) Never store your wealth in any form that's tied directly to the value of fiat money.

2) Never store you wealth in the form of someone or some organization's promise to pay.

Millions of people held their retirement money in the form of corporate pension funds, only to wake up one day to find that both those promises to pay and their retirement money had simply vanished.

A Nine-Phase Approach to

Ending the Home Foreclosure Crisis

and Re-designing the Banking and Financial Systems

We have developed (and explained in detail) a relatively simple and incredible effective way to end both the home foreclosure crisis and the overall financial crisis. The process is far less expensive than bailing out the banks with billions of tax dollars. It will produce zero inflation, and results will show up very quickly. It will re-direct billions of dollars that now go into the vaults of the super-wealthy into the pockets of the working class. Before you dismiss our statement as "too good to be true," we invite you to examine the evidence.

Lies of Omission A lie of omission is a technique of deception in which the deceiver remains silent when ethical behavior calls for him or her to speak up. The lie is not in the words, or lack of words; it's in the intention of the deceiver.

	We're Walking our Talk
	At TLC-Life-Center We're demonstrating our proposals by creating two corporations, one for-profit and one not-for-profit. They will function as partners

The Corporation:

The for-profit business (Mari-Med Corporation) will be based on The New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure -- a structure in which corporate employees, corporate customers, and the environment hold equal priority with making a profit. Corporate focus is the production and application of Hemp.

Hemp is an ignored gold mine because when it is allowed to freely flourish, it will become a multi-billion dollar industry. For example, hemp it will replace trees as a source of fiber for paper, it's medical benefits are profound, and as plastic for auto bodies, its strength and damage resistance will save billions of dollars in auto repairs.
http://www.Marijuana-Hemp-Money.com#gr

The Foundation:

We are creating a medical-marijuana, access-assistance foundation. The Mari-Med Foundation will provide funding and access to medical marijuana for those in need who cannot, by themselves, afford to pay for the products and services. The Foundation will own controlling interest in the Mari-Med Corporation so that the majority of the corporate profits will go to the Foundation.
