The opportunity that I had to study at Yale College as an undergraduate and later at Harvard University for my Ph.D., the chance I had to wander among the gothic buildings, to imbibe confidence and purpose, and to learn to think, learn how things work, from distinguished scholars, was a point of stubborn pride for me when I started my career as a professor, but that legacy had devolved into a nightmare, into a travesty.
I watched up close how the thoughtful and insightful men and women who were my classmates at Yale and Harvard, who were my colleagues as a professor, responded to the horrific institutional decay of the United States over the past two decades. Sadly, although I remember fondly the moments of deep insight and kind exchanges of those good old days, I observed how they, as intellectuals, as lawyers, doctors, engineers, executives, professors and government officials, how they betrayed their fellow citizens and buried the wisdom they had obtained at those temples of learning deep in the excrement of fraud and hypocrisy.
You see, they forgot that the entire point of that elite education they had received. It was not supposed to be something you boasted about, or that you possessed like a yacht or a racehorse, a special key that got you into the club. No! That sort of thinking is the outgrowth of deep moral decay.
That education was a privilege alright, but one that brought with it an absolute obligation to serve society, to stand up bravely for the interests of the nation, and above all for the interests of those who have not had the opportunity to learn how the system works, to study about science and technology, about foreign lands and ancient things.
That is right, you were given special tools that few had access to. They were given to you so that you could use them, use them to help society, especially in times of need, in times of crisis.
And yes, that moment of crisis inevitably came. The 2000 election came, a moment when the entire federal government was taken over by multinational corporations and a handful of the wealthy. I looked around and my colleagues and friends acted as if nothing had happened. They took the fictions of the New York Times as their gospel and clung ever tighter to their privileges.
Then came the collapse of the twin towers, the last card in the Tarot deck, a modern miracle that belongs the Book of Revelations. In other words, a massive fraud that any high school student who has taken a semester of physics could see through.
And yet again, my colleagues from Yale and Harvard were silent; in many cases, they appeared at think tank seminars, on television, to promote this blatant fiction, and to use it as a justification for endless foreign wars, for the transfer of wealth to the billionaires.
It was, sadly, nothing other than the treason of the intellectuals.
I know that the billionaires were ultimately behind this, using their pawns and pets, but if the intellectuals, the upstanding members of society who have the specialized knowledge, the ability to write effectively, and the confidence to use those skills, if they had not sided with the establishment, if they had asked the most basic questions, the drive for war into Afghanistan, into Iraq, into Syria, and into another dozen nations, ending at the doorsteps of Russia and China, that downwards spiral could never have started.
And then there I was again, in January of 2020, right there in Washington DC, watching in amazement as the utterly contrived and unconvincing COVID-19 pandemic was rolled out for mass consumption. I knew that my colleagues were smart enough to see through that circus from the start, but almost without exception, they bought into the farce with enthusiasm, with pride and glee.
Some of them with medical expertise lent their credentials to this sinister operation.
I am an extremely limited man and I cannot claim any remarkable achievements, but I can say that it was obvious to me that the 2000 election, the 9.11 attacks, and the drive for war with Afghanistan and Iraq were a fraud and I spoke openly, and unambiguously, about these crimes at that moment.
I felt that it was my obligation as an educated American. It was, in a sense, the entire purpose of the education I had received.
My efforts, my dismissal from my job, and how I was forced out of the country, remain taboo topics for my colleagues from Yale and Harvard. Mentioning what was done to me, and to others like me, for opposing the COVID-19 fraud is also a no-no in the best of circles.
Let me say, dear colleagues, that I was also at fault. I did not do enough, especially to engage working people, and I overestimated my own capacity to effect change. I was limited by the subtle arrogance of the Ivy League I had imbibed and it took me two decades to relearn.
That is my confession, my apology, and my pledge to do better.
Now, dear colleagues, it is your turn. Admit to yourself, and to those around you, that you wrong, that you betrayed the trust placed in you by society, by those around you who did not receive such illustrious educations, when you played stupid in the face of the 2000 elections, the 9.11 incident, the drive for world war starting in Afghanistan, and finally the operation COVID-19 pandemic.
We can be forgiving of your mistakes, but only if you are ready to ask for forgiveness.
We are waiting now, for your answers, for your pledges, and for your actions. We hope you will make proper use of the educations that you have received at this moment of national crisis.
As we survey the wreckage that was our civilization, as we are pushed and shoved by our fellow citizens now reduced to waves and waves of the zombie apocalypse, we are forced to ask ourselves the big question. We see how friends and family remain in denial about this vaccine war, about World War V. We see silent mothers walking with limping children through a fog of denial. We forced to ask ourselves what exactly was this COVID 19?
The answer is as clear as it is damning. COVID 19 was like the fall of the Roman empire, but run at hyper-speed on a bank of supercomputers and broadcast over 5G.
Covid 19 was a pandemic of cowardice, a pandemic of hypocrisy, a pandemic of ignorance and decadence, a pandemic of collaboration, a pandemic of horrific betrayal; in a nutshell, COVID 19 was a pandemic of evil that makes the blood run cold.
These four speeches on the nature of money were delivered in September, 2022 to assert the true nature of the current financial crisis in its proper historical context.
“The Origins of the Money Crisis”
Money is no Mystery
Part One
Emanuel Pastreich
September 3, 2022
That pretty printed paper in your wallet, that stuff called money, where does it come from? What gives it value, and why can you buy things with it? The question is not an idle one, nor is it a cynical one, but rather ultimately practical. And yet, this essential question is never asked by the authorities who lecture us on economics, nor the politicians who grace us with their precious opinions from their gilt offices.
That is to say that even though the media brainwashes us into believing that money is the most important thing in the world, money itself can never be a topic for discussion.
The problem of money is an old one. The current crisis of money is a crisis of value, a crisis in which our money is cut down, eviscerated, and slaughtered before our very eyes by an invisible butcher called inflation, in a secret ritual whereby money is printed up by the Federal Reserve, using black magic, and then doled out to the rich and to the banks for free.
As we enter final horrific stage of this travesty, we will be forced to switch to digital currencies that are controlled by unaccountable powers at the Federal Reserve, powers who will turn off the money in our wallets, or freeze our accounts, or seize our money for taxes, or for fines, at their whim.
When banks print up money to buy stocks, or pay off the debts of the rich, the money in your pocket, in your savings account, decreases in value proportionally. In short, the rich are stealing your money by diluting it while you sleep. They call this theft “inflation,” implying that money becomes worth less following some natural principle. Inflation is, according to them, a natural disaster, like an earthquake or a typhoon, like a flood or a drought.
This fiction about money and value is backed up by the authoritative musings of the pay-to-play experts. But they all know that the money in your bank did not become less valuable because of an act of God. It was crushed when the banks cranked out trillions of dollars to buy worthless stock, to purchase useless weapons, to buy up farmland so that you will pay more for food, to buy up housing so that you will pay more for rent.
We cannot understand the current money crisis unless we consider the process by which we got here over the past hundred years.
Specifically, it was the establishment of the Federal Reserve on December 23, 1913 that started this downhill path. Although we needed a national bank accountable to the Congress and to the people, one in which money was created and regulated by the government in a transparent manner in accord with the Constitution, we ended up with a system wherein private banks have the final say over fiscal policy.
Sadly, the crafty and devious banker J. P. Morgan, and not visionaries like our founding fathers, put together the system that regulates money, that serves as the heart of the nation’s economy.
Although the system worked, the poison slowly spread through the body politic over the next century as the private banks used their control of money to bribe (that is to say, “to lobby”) congressmen, presidents, professors, journalists, and all other authority figures to endorse this system, thereby leading the cow to the slaughterhouse.
Ultimately, the fiscal policies of the United States, the creation, distribution, and the determination of the value of money, are determined by private bankers, or by government officials at the Department of the Treasury were raised by the banks, and are loyal to them, not to the people.
There was a period, from the 1930s to the 1970s, when the Federal Reserve was relatively well administered. Government officials were aware of the dangers of unregulated global finance and they benchmarked efforts to control capital in Europe, and even in the socialist block. But the corrupt and unconstitutional nature of this false national bank never really changed: it sought to toss off the flimsy chains put on it during the New Deal, and it reared its ugly head again in the 1990s.
When the banks discovered that their secret takeover met almost no opposition in a decadent passive society, they decided to seize control of not only the economy, but of politics, of education, of medicine, and of culture in 2020.
Men and women of conscience abandoned the federal government like rats from a sinking ship.
But let us go back to the value of money. Money was backed by gold in 1879. That meant that in theory you could redeem your dollar bill for gold, and on occasion people did so. But when the entire edifice of government and the economy collapsed in the great depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, on June 5, 1933, ended the gold standard and placed in its stead the authority of the federal government.
Although this move made sense in light of the horrific economic crisis, and the fact that the rich controlled all the gold, the result was that the dollar was no longer tied to anything but the impression that the government had authority. That is to say that the nature of money became ideological.
Yes, a tentative relationship between the dollar and gold was established again after the Federal Reserve had amassed a significant amount of gold, but that relationship was tangential. The citizen could not simply demand that his or her dollars be redeemed in gold, and even that tie was severed permanently by President Richard Nixon in 1971.
The move away from gold, from any concrete object that gave value to the slips of paper in your wallet, created a fiat currency, as it is called, and such an untethered money had a malign impact on American society, granted that the changes were so slow as to be imperceptible.
During the 1930s, the depression, the federal government printed up money to help pay those who had been impoverished by the collapse of the speculative economy.
Economic recovery for the working men and women was successful, but in a limited sense. The new role of the Federal government, the projects for electrification and road building, had a mixed impact on our society.
On the one hand, life became easier, and more convenient, and for some it was healthier. The poor were, for the first time, treated as citizens when programs like social security and welfare offered them real protection against the terrible poverty that has haunted the working man since time immemorial.
This approach to economics, to money, was deeply influenced by the experiments carried out in the Soviet Union in the 1920s, and it had real merits.
But there was a price to be paid for this solution.
The resulting New Deal was a compromise that brought change, but that demanded citizens give up economic, organizational, and intellectual independence. Our citizens came to rely on large organizations like federal government, and then later on multinational corporations—which essentially function as governments.
The small farmer in 1930 was largely independent in terms of money, energy, food, and the other necessities of life. They were many who met their needs without much interaction with banks or with government. The nation had been founded by leaders who felt that such independent self-sufficient farmers were the key to long-term democracy—a vision we should have held to.
Our citizens grew vegetables and animals for food, and could preserve that food for the winter. They produced energy from windmills, water mills, horses, and good old fashioned manual labor without depending on utility corporations, or multinational oil companies. They despised companies like Standard Oil that tried to make Americans dependent on petroleum.
Our citizens knew how to gather medicinal herbs and to treat health conditions without hospitals. They made their own furniture, bought iron tools from neighbors who forged it, or borrowed items from each other when required. Money was not critical to that economy, nor was consumption; chairs were made to last for a 100 years, dresses woven to last for 40 years. Frugality was a virtue.
The New Deal helped those devastated by the banks, but it demanded integration into a money economy run by the government, and specifically by the Federal Reserve, which remained under the control of the private banks who were just itching to toss off their reigns.
When the economy improved after the Second World War, and especially when Americans became dependent on government and corporations in the 1970s, the private banks starting making up the rules for money again, and buying off the supposed regulators.
Politicians will never suggest that we form cooperatives and establish our own local currencies, that we build a local economy that has no need for multinational banks or factory farms, no dependence on monopolistic logistics and distribution systems, no ties to marketing and sales gimmicks, nothing to do with the tools by which corporations mean to bleed us dry.
Almost all transactions today are carried out in the money controlled by the Federal Reserve, that is to say, money controlled by multinational corporations and banks, and the super-rich who hide behind them.
Moreover, as impressive as it may be that the dollar is the global currency, that means that any number of global banks and shifty billionaires around the world are interested in the dollar, not because they care about Americans, but because they wish to squeeze even more profit out of it.
You may be able to vote for a politician, and maybe your vote will be counted. But when it comes to the value of money, or to access to money, the United States is a dictatorship. The Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the congressional committees overseeing monetary policy are tightly controlled by multinational private banks. No one who is not bought and paid for by them will be allowed to come near the process by which money is created and its value is determined.
And then there is the pseudoscience of economics, a field of study far less reputable than astrology and bloodletting, that tells us that interest rates, rather than the grand theft of money by multinational banks, is the cause of inflation; that tells us we must consume and waste in order to have a healthy economy; that suggests to us that importing food and other necessities from abroad through the parasitic logistics and distribution systems controlled by the banks, is a sign of growth, and that this scam is more modern and efficient than growing your own food and running your own local economy.
That fairy tale is a massive fraud. If you produce most necessities in your community and buy and sell, or barter, with each other, and if you run local banks as cooperatives, then the money, and the value, will remain in your community, and will not be siphoned off to vampire private equity firms in New York or Singapore, in London or Geneva.
“Propping up the wobbly Dollar“
Money is no Mystery
Part Two
Emanuel Pastreich
September 4, 2022
The Federal government gave up all pretentions that money is backed by the gold held at the Federal Reserve, or backed by anything concrete, in 1972. The dollar became a fiat currency, money that is not tied to anything but reputation. Since that fatal day, the powers behind the curtains have maintained the value of the dollar in various ways.
The legitimacy of the dollar was tied to the legitimacy of the United States and its strength as a cultural, educational, scientific, technological, and sadly military, power. This approach worked until the 1990s, but the decay of the angel was inevitable.
As the value of the United States has decreased because of corruption and decadence, and because of the inevitable rise of the other nations devastated in the Second World War, increasingly devious means were employed to assure dollar’s value.
Covert efforts were launched to undermine the authority of other nations, whether Russia and China, or Germany and Japan. Perhaps it seemed like a good idea on Wall Street, but the result was the creation of a brutal winner-takes-all global economy—and the same covert means would be used finally against Americans themselves to keep them addicted to the dollar economy as it collapsed.
The United States slipped into a malignant culture. The decadence of wealth and power meant that innovation was stifled by conceited men like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates who pretended to be the inventers of things they stole and were enshrined in a handful of paralyzed institutions.
The quality of literature and art, of film and music, declined. American universities ceased to strive for truth and for science. Instead they crawled into bed with private equity and billionaire philanthropists, using advertising, rather than education, to prop up their global status.
The strategy of using culture to hold up the value of the dollar ceased to be effective.
Another approach was to tie the dollar’s value to the sale of petroleum, a product that everyone needs in our over-industrialized society.
The United States used its diplomatic, financial and military power to make sure that petroleum was only sold in dollars, thereby establishing a clear value for that fiat currency—that almost was equal to being backed by gold.
But that value was added to the dollar at a horrific price.
Many nations saw the value of selling petroleum in their own currencies, and they tried to do so. Those countries had to be infiltrated, undermined, intimidated, or bought off. In some cases, they had to be invaded and overthrown. The process has reached a crescendo in recent months, auguring for world war as the final consequence of this crusade to save the dollar.
You see, the United States had to control the Middle East, and to have its long fingers deep in the politics of nations around the world, in order to keep this petroleum system going. The cost of holding up the dollar was horrific, and bit by bit, the United States was corrupted beyond recognition.
Wars for oil, and other natural resources, became the primary concern in foreign policy, not peace. As a result, militarism sunk its roots deep in the economy, deep into the very spirit of the nation. There was no space left to seek for cooperation and accommodation. Any threat to the dollar had to be beaten down brutally.
At the same time, it was necessary to promote petroleum, and a consumer culture that demanded petroleum usage, at every level in America, and around the world. Automobiles were glorified, cities were designed to make automobiles necessary, oil-based fertilizers, and pesticides were sprinkled on industrialized farms. Oil companies and auto makers became all powerful because they helped to prop up the value of the dollar and forced petroleum on the common man.
The other device for backing the dollar was the promotion of global free trade, a system wherein products that could be made locally by neighbors are shipped halfway around the world, burning fuel all the way, so as to make sure that most everything on your plate, on your table, on your back, has passed through the logistics monopolies who take their cut.
This global “free” trade destroys local economies and renders citizens dependent on multinational corporations like WalMart and Amazon that take their money and do nothing to help the local economy.
The dollar was placed at the center of this closed trade system—anything but “free.”
Average Americans were impoverished even as the dollar was promoted in our name. Our republic was transmogrified into a ruthless empire that demanded everything be bought and sold in dollars.
The cancerous military economy also served a critical role in propping up the dollar as the other sources of power faded in the 1990s.
Nations could be invaded, or sanctioned, if they did not accept the dollar as the global currency.
Military equipment became a form of meta-currency—nations were compelled to purchase overpriced, and often worthless, military systems for billions of dollars as a way of propping up the dollar. Those designated as allies of the United States were expected to purchase fighter planes and tanks, drones and missiles at exorbitant prices. The most notorious example is the F-35 stealth fighter which costs around 80 million US dollars each and is barely functional. These devices, bulky tokens, force the large transfer of foreign capital into dollars in the name of security.
With trillions of dollars unaccounted for, the Pentagon has become the primary money laundering operation for the world, taking in money from billionaires, drug dealers, and just about anyone else and paying them off with money from the defense budget, and from weapons purchases from around the world.
Of course the threat of force makes the fiat currency stronger—but the cost is endless war.
Another ingenious way of propping up the dollar is to force debt on our citizens, making them scramble to obtain the dollars to pay off debts incurred in the process of trying to stay alive and to meet the criteria demanded by corporations for employment.
The cost of healthcare has skyrocketed, as has the cost of education. We find ourselves hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt just for being born, educated, treated for illness, and buried—let alone more serious challenges. And the banks drive up the cost of a home through their endless speculation with the fraudulent money they have printed up.
Chase Manhattan and Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and BlackRock, using their pay-to-play authority figures who appear on TV, or at Harvard University, set the value of everything in society, justifying why it must be so expensive.
How many times have you heard your friends talking about money, about how much money they have in their pensions, how much their houses are worth, how much they spend for their children’s educations? Money has been made the primary topic of discussion for our people because the media, the entertainment complex, and the educational system make it that way. The questions: How can I be a good person? What is the truth? What is justice? What does the Constitution say? These questions have disappeared from our discourse.
The Bretton Woods complex, centered around the World Bank and the IMF, and linked to central banks around world, was flawed from the start, but recently it has degenerated much further into a Disneyland of make-believe value wherein human endeavors can only be assessed according to the Procrustean metrics of growth, production, consumption, exports and imports. The rise and fall of the stock market, the bond market, and other fantastic ephemera is considered the determining factor for the well-being of mankind by every newspaper or magazine from the fascists to the socialist, and these metrics of growth and consumption are cited in the university, the government, and the corporation.
In a horrific farce, the fundamental values of humanity: modesty, honesty, sincerity, chastity and humility are treated as at best as hobbies for the leisure class after they have accumulated wealth, but are frequently presented as obstacles to economic growth that requires waste and impulse.
Frugality, is the greatest sin, believing that one can live a spiritually and mentally healthy life without waste is an insult to the beastly ritual of consumption that is held up for all to worship.
Caring for your ill parents, helping your neighbor to repair her window, growing potatoes, or teaching your children to be ethical and to distinguish the truth from falsehood, all these actions are negatives for the gross domestic product, negatives for your standing in society.
Along the way, we drifted from a cooperative economy into a predatory economy, into a parasitic economy.
That process was linked to the two most horrific traumas that shook us to the core.
The only way to cover up the frauds of 9.11 and of COVID-19 over the last twenty years is to silence citizens by making them an offer they cannot refuse: chose money or truth.
The truth is that the billionaires own nothing except a bankrupt and covetous ideology of money.
The purchase of farmland by Bill Gates, the paving over of priceless farmland to erect pointless shopping malls, highways, and highrises by construction firms and real estate speculators, all this was done using the bogus money printed for them by their lackeys at the Federal Reserve.
That land belongs to all of us. The parasites who have murdered our people so viciously with COVID-19 weapons, or poisonous processed foods, or chemicals dumped in our rivers and lakes, those parasites shall hold no dominion.
The first step for addressing the money issue is to give the land back to the people and allow them to grow their own food, make their own furniture, and be independent of the covert stranglehold of the multinationals.
Similarly, we can write our own music, hold our own concerts, make our own art, put on our own theatre, and thereby leave behind the decadent Hollywood culture of sexual titillation and momentary narcissism.
Take away the imperative to collect money at all costs so as to meet artificially created need to consume, and many social ills will be cured. The institutions regulating money have been turned against the citizens whom they should be protecting.
Multinational corporations, and their puppets, flush with our money, lecture us about recycling and sustainability, about how we must tighten our belts, but they will pull every punch to make sure that no one threatens the plastic and paper packaging systems they have set up to extract profit from us at every turn.
We are not citizens empowered by a contractual relationship with each other using money as determined by Constitution, but rather we have been reduced to consumers who can conceive of value only in terms of dollars because Madison Avenue advertising and public relations firms have indoctrinated us to embrace the false values of the cult of the self.
Because we have been reduced from citizens of a republic with a sense of civic responsibly to consumers of the gaudy wares laid out to distract us, we are led forward not by a clarion call, but by a ring through the nose. We are not masters of our fates; we are no captains of our souls. We are but products to be processed and then disposed of like the ragdolls littering the squalid cage of an idle ape.
No! Our eyes must turn to the hope of a new nation coming. We must trample those hideous grapes of wrath, unloosing the terrible swift sword of truth; like lightening, that the truth may go marching on.
“Digital Currency leads us by the hand down the primrose path to slavery“
Money is no mystery
Part Three
Emanuel Pastreich
September 5, 2022
The decay of values, the decline of crafts, of art, of literature, and, above all, of intellectual inquiry in the United States leaves us facing a wasteland wherein money is the only sentient beast, demanding due worship by all.
This horrific change was accompanied by the hollowing out of the economy. We went from agriculture in which there is a clear relationship between labor, product, and the moral and physical wellbeing of the family, to manufacturing in which production was cut off from daily life and monopolized by global capital, to a consumption and the service economy which is mediated by computers, creating online platforms controlled behind the curtains by unaccountable multinational technological monopolies.
And now, in the last stage of the decay of the angel, we are encouraged to welcome as a sign of advancement the replacements of humans with robots, drones, and AI systems. Citizens have no role in this alien economy and we can only feed our families by engaging in some banal activity at a tremendous distance from family and neighbors, and then bringing back the dollars so earned to purchase products sold retail by multinational corporations.
When family farms were replaced with factory farms, when local manufacturing was replaced with imports from China and Thailand, when local businesses were ruthlessly exterminated by monster outlets funded by private equity in the name of efficiency and free trade, when the banks stand triumphant on the ruins of what was once America, they will unfurl a new slavery, dressed up as fashion, safety, and identity awareness, that will crush what remains of our selves. Fascism will come to America when it is downloaded from an I-phone, or posted on Facebook.
Corporate media networks keep repeating the same fraudulent reports about how technological progress had ushered in a better world. Hapless students are taught from elementary school that money is the highest priority, that new technology is required, as is competitiveness, in order to secure a happy future.
Because all aspects of human experience have been farmed out to multinational corporations like Amazon, WalMart, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Disney, organizations that function like governments but that are not subject to the Constitution, organizations that keep their finances offshore, we have lost the ability to assess what is true; we have been blinded physically and spiritually.
The private banks ran the show under Presidents Clinton, Bush, Trump, and Biden. They offered us a brave new world in which the stock market determined the health of the economy, a stock market that was inflated by stock buybacks using fake money generated by quantitative easing.
Citizens were forced by their retirement plans to put their money into this ponzi scheme. The corporate media encouraged them to think that funny money printed up by the Federal Reserve was real and that farm land, natural assets, universities and research institutes, even government institutions like the Center for Disease Control that the billionaires had bought with that fake money actually belongs to them.
Derivatives (futures, options, and swaps) are the most abominable of the wretched creatures unleashed on the working man. Derivatives form a system wherein multinational investment banks can claim to have a financial interest in goods they never own using the Mickey Mouse games cooked up by IT experts. The profits from derivatives, in the trillions of dollars, have nothing to do with the real world, but are created out of whole cloth for the billionaire class through the manipulation of information.
Another monster is cryptocurrency, and other forms of digital coinage that crawl the floors of the putrid seas of greed and fraud in search of innocents and fools. These want-to-be currencies follow the primary directive laid down by the grandfather of modern economics P.T. Barnum, “There is a sucker born every day.”
These cryptocurrencies are promoted as a form of money more stable than the bedridden dying dollar, but the metrics that determine the value of BitCoin or Ethereum are rigged by bankers stringing along the little man until he can be wiped out in 9.11 financial disaster.
That final day of reckoning is not far away. Already trillions of dollars of our money was doled out to billionaires through qualitative easing, dumping our money into rigged markets for stocks and bonds, and of course the grotesque ladling out of trillions more during the 2020 COVID crisis.
We cannot know where that money went.
Why? Because the role of intelligence organizations (now run as for-profit corporations) has been vastly expanded over the last two decades. Along the way, they have merged with international investment banks and private equity to become essentially one, a dark octopus colored by greed and fraud that encircles the Earth in its stranglehold, then led by Goldman Sachs, now led by BlackRock and friends, the name does not matter much. What is certain is that its tentacles are wrapped around the neck of every local economy.
The thickest tentacle encircles the Capitol, the United States Congress.
The result? Fiscal and monetary policies are made classified; it is crime to disclose to the public the crimes of global capital. Congress has passed legislation known as “secret law” which has the effect of Federal statutes, but that cannot be made public.
I would love to explain to you this process, with concrete examples of how BlackRock, the Houses of Saud and Windsor, private equity firms, and other entities behind which the super-rich hide, have used secret and top-secret classification to hide their theft of your money; but if I did, I would go to jail and this speech would come to an abrupt end.
The zombie becomes a vampire
The clammy hand of digital currency reaches from the grave to seize us
Now that they have sufficiently degraded our thinking with childish entertainment and a culture driven by narcissistic impulses to keep us unfocused, distracted, and naïve, the time has come for them to launch the final incarnation of money, the vampire that will suck all remaining value out of us, leaving us spiritually and physically impoverished.
I am speaking about the CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency).
We shall not allow the American worker to be crucified on a cross of ones and zeros.
For yes, verily, the CBDC is the final stage in the decay of the dollar.
President Biden issued an executive order, not a law, entitled “Ensuring responsible development of digital assets” –that means the opposite of its name. This order hands over the treasury to the bankers.
Everyone knew that a law creating a digital currency could not be passed, even in this corrupt Congress. Only the doddering, tottering, Biden could try to make this power grab seem legitimate.
This digital currency will move your savings from your bank to the Federal reserve where it will be used by such monsters as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and be unrelated to any aspect of the economy as we know it.
The billionaires must push through digital currency quickly, before any organized resistance is possible. Citizens who are not billionaires must be deprived of the ownership of property, of their labor and their thinking, and even of their own bodies. The right to travel, or to communicate, must be ended so that the billionaires can rule with absolute dominion.
Digital currency will also be linked to a carbon credit system whereby the invisible hands of the World Economic Forum, not those with moral or scientific credibility, will determine what you can buy.
The Federal Reserve, now but an appendage of the financial blob encircling the Earth, will be empowered by digital currency to turn off your access to money, to freeze the money held in your name, before you can call a lawyer, or make any appeal, and to do so through multinational IT intelligence firms accountable to no one.
You will not have any right to contest the seizure of your money, or your possessions. Your appeal will not go to a judge in a human-based constitutional system, but will be handled by smiling and uncaring AI systems.
In the name of sustainable development, under a United Nations that has become the play toy of billionaires, your money—and NOT the money of billionaires–can be designated as legitimate for buying candy bars, but not for buying nails and lumber, legitimate for buying silly Netflix films, but not for purchasing forbidden books. You will be able to purchase food imported from Mexico at WalMart, but will not be able to buy the lettuce and cucumbers grown by your neighbor.
You will be prohibited from travelling abroad, but those with private planes, those involved in high level public-private partnerships, will be free to do so.
This digital money will be under the control of the Federal Reserve, tracked by corporations on government contracts, and protected by the FBI, Secret Service and other federal agencies that are now on permanent loan to multinational corporations.
Needless to say this action is a violation of the United States Constitution which grants Congress authority to borrow money, and to “coin money and regulate the value thereof” (Article I, section 8). But if no one stands his or her ground, the constitution will be used to mop the floor.
Increasingly, we cannot conduct the transactions of daily life using cash. Already, the United Kingdom, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and China are well on their way to eliminating cash. They say it is in the interest of convenience, modernity, and safety. But in fact they are opening the gates of hell, paving the road to tyranny.
All we need is a crisis that will force us to embrace this new digital currency. Already they are planting the thermite of hyperinflation in the wobbly columns supporting the dollar. As I speak, they are preparing a controlled demolition that will have us all on our knees when the cardboard messiah of digital currency manifests itself after the crash.
“A revolutionary dollar of the people, for the people, and by the people“
Money is no Mystery
Part Four
Emanuel Pastreich
September 6, 2022
We cannot stop this silent takeover of the American economy, and of the Earth’s economy, a takeover making use of the covert devaluation of money, the reduction of the Federal Reserve and the Department of the Treasury to agents for the rich, unless we confidently and bravely propose an alternative and simultaneously declare that the monetary and currency policies of the “public private partnership” of the billionaires are illegal and immoral.
The rich have any number of tricks to fool us into accepting the false idols that they have prepared so lovingly, to cajole us into welcoming the Trojan horse of digital currencies, just as we were forced to accept COVID payouts that made us dependent on an unconstitutional government, a United States of multinational private equity following a classified constitution for the few.
Creating false money and branding it as our currency is an act of counterfeiting, even if that act is undertaken by firms with fancy Wall Street offices run by gentlemen wearing three-piece suits.
That act in itself, even if covered over with the thin veneer of government institutions, is grounds to arrest the stakeholders (not just the CEOs) of these banks and to seize their assets.
But there are a few steps that must come first.
We must face the reality of contemporary America as it is, not as we wish it were.
That brave act will lead us to the painful conclusion that the takeover of the Executive and Legislative branches is so complete that lobbying against, advocacy against, the rule of money by the banks is not the first step towards our liberation.
No, we must first establish a currency which will serve as the foundation for a productive, not speculative, moral, not extractive, economic system that follows the Constitution and natural law, one that is independent of the poisoned Federal Reserve, one that offers a full-formed alterative to the slavery that awaits us.
The transformation of money must be revolutionary. Progressive change is no longer possible. But it must be revolutionary in a sense that appeals to the better angels of our citizens, not the dogs of war who bay at our doorstep.
A revolutionary dollar in five easy steps
1)
Education for the citizens about money
Economics is the most corrupt and purposely obscure field of pseudoscience, a devious practice run by high priests who attribute the purposeful destruction of our economy by billionaires to science, suggesting that hyperinflation and overproduction are the equivalent of the snow and rain, proposing that the raising or lowering of interest rates, and the doling out of money to multinational corporations, is the way to relieve the suffering of the common man, the common woman.
Our children are taught horrid falsehoods from elementary school on, told that the destruction of their futures is the result of forces beyond their control, the product of a temporary setback, when laceration of their dreams is the explicit goal of rich and powerful.
The first step in our resistance is to educate citizens about what the economy is and how it truly works.
We must go to the streets, go door to door, and we must explain logically, scientifically, and patiently what is going on behind the screaming headlines.
There is no need for juicy donations to the Harvard Business School, or funding for the Economist Magazine from billionaires, in order for the man in the street to understand how the economy runs, how money is created for the billionaires, and how debt is created to enslave us.
We must tell them the truth about digital currencies, the stock market, derivatives and other frauds, explaining how these cooked-up indicators of growth are unrelated to our economy.
We must explain to the citizens how banks create money out of thin air, and how the digital currencies and cryptocurrencies are but a trap meant to trick them into surrendering the last traces of real ownership to faceless AI.
Citizens must grasp that this digital money, is not money at all, but an IOU note to them from unaccountable powers, a note that can be cancelled at any moment for bad behavior, for no reason at all.
They must understand that its value is determined by computer banks owned by multinational corporations. Digital currency is, in other words, a weapon of mass destruction.
2)
Denounce the fiat currency dollar controlled by multinational banks and launch the revolutionary dollar
The collapsing dollar system threatens to take us down with it, be we white collar or blue color, man or woman, black or white. But corporate media tries to divide us against each other using ethic and identity conflicts of its own creation.
Just as other nations must free themselves from the dollar-dominated economic system, so also must the citizens of the United States declare their independence from this banker-driven Titanic.
Taking the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as our sword and our shield, we will bravely assert the true relationship of the citizen to the federal government, insisting that only we the people have the right to issue currency through a Congress that is accountable, in word and deed, to us.
We will assert that the value of the dollar must be determined in a transparent and accountable manner, in accord with the Constitution.
If that is not the case, and it most obviously IS not the case, then it CANNOT be considered as a currency. It is but pretty printed paper.
We will assert that the new digital currency, and the Federal Reserve’s fiat currency dollars, now controlled by multinational banks, are by their self-evident nature unconstitutional, illegitimate, and criminal.
We will refuse to use them for economic transactions and we will allow citizens to convert their fiat dollars for our substantial revolutionary dollars in accord with the true needs of the working people of our country, not the greed of the moneychangers and the speculators.
The “Revolutionary Dollar” will support an accountable and transparent monetary system that is based on value, not forced debt, not the threat of military force, and not chimeric digits floating in cyberspace.
You heard right. The revolutionary dollar will be a democratic currency that is issued directly to citizens following the Constitution.
This new democratic economy will be local in nature, but will include transparent and verifiable systems for national and international exchange that are independent of the casinos run by the gamblers and tricksters.
That independent economy will be based on concrete contributions from the citizens, and will offer a clear alternative to the rotten globalist economy that drags us towards slavery.
3)
Establish the value of the revolutionary dollar
The revolutionary dollar will be grounded at the local level in credible agreements among citizens that determine its value with regards to concrete goods and services. The revolutionary dollar will go hand in hand with a transparent, accountable, and democratic banking system, banks that are run as cooperatives by the members of the immediate community first.
But even more important than establishing a free and democratic dollar, we must help the citizen to reduce his or her dependency on money and encourage self-sufficiency, local barter, and cooperation within the community.
Turn strangers into neighbors and you will magically find solutions to many economic needs. It is because you do not know your neighbor, do not trust the man passing you on the street, and have grown distant from your son and daughter that you must conduct all actions via money. That is no accident. That was the plan all along.
The revolutionary dollar will permit a true market economy in which the currency is tied, through participatory discussions, to a set value for three kilos of tomatoes grown in your garden, for two hours of babysitting, for fixing a sink, or for walking a dog every day for a month.
That is to say that the currency will return to the original function of money, a marker in our shared society that allows for a transparent barter system wherein we can cover most needs without ever turning to a multinational corporation or bank.
Trust between neighbors, and between family members, will allow us to govern ourselves, to create an organic system wherein we set the value of money in response to the needs of the citizens in the local economy.
Money will be tied to goods, services, objects and other substantial things, tangible or intangible, through a participatory process wherein citizens set prices through discussion, and establish markets based on real demand.
That process of determining value through open debate between citizens will mean the restoration of politics in the original sense of the word, not the debased Los Vegas strip show to which we are subject today.
The goods and services essential to life: food, tools, housing, transportation, energy, as well as the fundamentals of civilization: rigorous science, moral education, profound intellectual engagement, and the philosophical, aesthetic and spiritual practices that define humanity, will be assigned value within the revolutionary dollar.
The will be no space in this democratic economy for the conversation to revolutionary dollars of ill-got digital fortunes, narco-riches accumulated by billionaires and their intelligence lackeys, money now recorded in the bankrupt fiat currency. The extra billions claimed by multibillionaires by adding a few zeros to the figures in their Amazon, or Google supercomputers, will also vanish.
Inflation will be vanquished by the revolutionary dollar. In addition, no individual, no one family, no class of privileged people, will be permitted to monopolize money, goods or other assets beyond the bounds of fundamental social justice.
So also the debt owed by citizens in that fiat dollar cannot be converted into revolutionary dollars. The revolutionary dollar will be jubilee in every sense of the word.
4)
Creation of local banks for the people
The fiat currency dollar has become a tool for the rich to buy up assets from ordinary citizens using phony money that is backed by the authority of the federal government. This scheme has worked because the commercial media gave this “money” undue legitimacy, and because the dollar was no longer backed by precious metals, and because there were no longer local banks granting meaningful loans to local citizens based on the actual money deposited, to stand in opposition to the international banks.
We must establish local banks that are committed by their charters to being run as cooperatives, committed to investing entirely in the local community, and committed to basing their loans on the money they actually have, that is tied to real objects, to real labor, or to real institutions of substance.
The loans offered by these banks must be for ordinary people, in real money, and they must be for productive and helpful activities.
Those banks must focus on the local, must focus on the long-term wellbeing of the community, the environment, and the future of the nation.
Long-term low interest (30 year loans) and micro-loans, will allow the citizen to purchase high quality, locally handmade pairs of shoes that will last for 30 years, or tables that will last for 100 years, for less money than would cost a shoddy set of imported shoes, or an imported fiberboard table sold by criminal distributor like Walmart.
5)
A global monetary system for the people
Ultimately a new international, and not globalist, financial and trade system must be built from the bottom up, one that permits for healthy and constructive economic interactions starting from the local community, expanding across the nation, and finally reaching out to the citizens (not the corporations) of other nations.
No part of that financial and monetary system will be controlled by the multinational logistics and shipping companies, the large-scale marketing and retail firms, that are run by Wall Street, and the financial monopolies like BlackRock and Vanguard, and the families like the Houses of Saud and Windsor, the Waltons and the Rothchilds, the Kochs and the Mars, who hide behind them.
A healthy, citizen-centered, financial and trade system for the Earth requires transparent and reliable currencies that are outside of the reach of globalists.
We will bypass the poisoned economic system of the globalists entirely.
The sad state of our economy
The bankers, and their friends at the Treasury Department work day and night to put off the inevitable bursting of the bubble, and they will use any means, even if that means the destruction of our nation. The United States resembles the train in the Marx Brothers film “Go West!” the cars of which were chopped to pieces to feed the locomotive’s engine, leaving behind a wreck.
Money without value is the only thing keeping the ship of state afloat. But over time, creating money without value is a horrific ritual of self-cannibalism for a civilization.
Fear of war, fear of pandemics is essential to keeping the population from understanding how the economy, and the culture, is destroyed.
The critiques of this criminality offered by true conservatives like Ron Paul have been replaced with faux conservatives like Donald Trump created by the banks.
The trenchant critique of markets and global finance offered by Marxists and socialists in a previous age have been supplanted by the indulgent chatter about gender and race offered by the so-called “left.”
Enough is enough! Over the last fifty years, the Federal debt has increased 75-fold from $400 billion to $30 trillion, thus rendering your money nearly worthless. The elite have grown wealthy; the citizen has been driven into poverty.
Verily, it is a sordid, vicious racket that poisons the very life blood of the nation. Truly this market, now a corpse, demands at least, an honorable burial.
Affirm the real economy and denounce the fake economy
Personal morality, the needs of local communities, transparency and accountability, local banks and local finance, are concepts alien to the discourse on money promoted in the gaudy media today.
We cannot purchase a solution to this problem with the dollars that are created, regulated, and controlled by the private multinational banks.
Remember that degradation of money is inseparable from the decay of personal ethics, and of the sense of citizenship at the local and the national level.
We can have healthy food, potable water, quality tools and furniture, livable housing, meaningful education and a profound intellectual, cultural and spiritual experience which will make life worth living. That is our goal. Money can help to achieve that goal by setting up equivalencies for exchange, but money itself can never be the solution to the problem.
When the ancients said that money is root of all evil, they had their reasons.
The trust between citizens is the skeleton to which the muscles of the revolutionary dollar will be attached. The revolutionary dollar will be the base on which an independent and moral economy is built.
No longer must our citizens dive into an immoral and parasitic economy in order to obtain the filthy dollars need to feed their children. Such contradictions, such abominations, must be abolished.
Remember that we are fighting a techno-fascist global system that will try to outsmart us, to overwhelm us, by creating false value using its fiat currencies and digital currencies.
That global system uses algorithms calculated by supercomputers, and bribes any number of authority figures, to convince us of its legitimacy.
Yet ultimately we will win because the value of our money, our revolutionary dollars, will be rooted in human interactions, in actual value.
The revolutionary dollar backed by the Constitution, and supported by concrete economic transactions between citizens, will allow us to say to the billionaires like Bill Gates that when they bought up farmland in Montana or Minnesota using the money printed up at their request by the Federal Reserve, that they did not gain ownership in any sense and that their fiat money, their digital currency, shall have no value.
In addition, take notice! The financial crimes of promoting poisonous vaccines are more than enough to justify the seizure of all the assets of these criminals.
Our revolutionary dollar, in other words, will be the wooden stake driven through the heart of the zombie economy, will be the swift sword that strikes down the vampire market, will be the silver hammer that knocks over the rotten casino set up by the money changers of Wall Street.
What will they do, when their goose is cooked, when their money is worthless and their fake assets have evaporated? That is not our concern.
Our nation belongs to its citizens. Our rivers and fields, mountains and oceans, cannot be owned by anyone but remain our cherished common legacy to be preserved far, far into the future, long after the parasitic billionaires are safely entombed in their gaudy graves.

Чому Сполученим Штатам потрібен справді незалежний президент?
Емануель Пастрейч
Шановні громадяни великого народу України
Я щиро співчуваю вам, коли чую жахливі історії про те, як ваш народ був принесений в жертву в потворній боротьбі за геополітичну владу між іноземними військами, за контроль над ресурсами транснаціональними корпораціями, і ви стали жертвами численних змов фашистів і найманців, які сповнені рішучості використовувати вас як привід для збільшення своєї огидної сили. Ці сили, видимі й невидимі, прагнуть посилити напруженість і насильство, щоб отримати можливість зруйнувати верховенство права і змусити невинних людей підтримувати політику, яку вони в іншому випадку ніколи б не підтримували. Вони хотіли б, щоб в Україні затягнувся конфлікт на кшталт Афганістану чи Іраку, або навіть світова війна, якщо це допоможе їм захопити владу.
Хоча це, безумовно, правда, що в кожному окремому випадку дії Сполучених Штатів можуть бути корисними для деяких людей, які стикаються з хаосом в Україні. Проте, зрештою, Сполучені Штати не можуть виконувати позитивну роль у регіоні у військовому чи навіть політичному сенсі, і повинні відмовитися від військового нарощування, припинити НАТО та створити систему колективної безпеки, засновану на принципах Статуту Організації Об’єднаних Націй, який у цей критичний момент охоплює справжній інтернаціоналізм.
Ми повинні були перетворити «мечі на лемеші» у 1945 році, але нам це не вдалося. Сумна історія, як Сполучені Штати були заражені імперіалізмом Великої Британії.
Прошу вибачення у вас, жертви американської дурості та сліпоти.
Це те, що зробить моя адміністрація: навіть якщо деякі розчаровані тим, що ми не можемо підтримати їх у протистоянні російському імперіалізму, ми сподіваємося, що вони зможуть мислити раціонально та стратегічно і зрозуміють, що якщо кінцевою метою є цілісність і незалежність України, тоді єдиним рішенням є побудова України, яка не залежить від тієї чи іншої світової держави.
Справжнє рішення може прийти лише від народу України, і конфлікт між Сполученими Штатами, Росією та Німеччиною (і, можливо, також Туреччиною та Польщею) не підвищить незалежність.
Сполучені Штати нерозумно розширили свою глобальну присутність після того, як Радянський Союз вийшов з Афганістану. Тепер, коли ми вийшли з Афганістану після нищівної двадцятирічної битви в цій країні, ми, американці, повинні усвідомити глибоку шкоду, завдану нашому суспільству, нашій економіці та нашим основним цінностям, завданих цією глобалістичною експансією.
У певному сенсі Сполучені Штати стали Радянським Союзом; ми зараз настільки невпевнені в собі, що повинні діяти впевнено та зарозуміло, ми повинні взяти на себе зобов’язання щодо масштабних проектів, які ми не можемо підтримати, тому що вони не дозволяють нам зіткнутися з нашим внутрішнім глибоким розпадом, і ми чіпляємося за мертву ідеологію та хворі установи (університети, газети, науково-дослідні інститути та державні установи), які руйнуються на наших очах.
Народ України мудрий і бачив погані звички великих держав протягом всієї історії. Ви знаєте, що імперіалізм — заразна хвороба.
Ситуація на Донбасі може призвести до довгострокового конфлікту, як-от 30-річна війна між Росією, Польщею та Туреччиною за контроль над Україною в 17 столітті. Такої ситуації потрібно уникнути за будь-яку ціну.
Сполучені Штати зайшли занадто далеко в підтримці фашистських груп, втручаючись у ваші внутрішні економічні справи та пропагандистськими кампаніями по всьому світу. Мої глибокі вибачення за вплив на вашу націю жахливого розпаду систем у Сполучених Штатах, які колись служили реальній меті.
Водночас я буду говорити з вами відверто як людина, яка глибоко стурбована за Україну. Я кажу вам, що ми не повинні забувати, що і Росія, і Німеччина мають давні традиції імперіалізму, а їхні еліти також мріють про глобальну могутність. Вони конспектують американські невдачі та злочини в Україні. Але вони роблять це не тому, що хочуть справедливості для вашої країни. Ні, в обох країнах є багато фракцій, які зацікавлені в поширенні власної влади на весь регіон, співпрацюючи або конкуруючи один з одним.
Я б також не довіряв Польщі, Туреччині чи Італії чи іншим глобальним інституціям, які прагнуть пожертвувати Україною заради своїх цілей.
Моя адміністрація буде прагнути відродити справжній інтернаціоналізм, який надихнув багатьох у 1930-х і 1940-х роках і призвів до поразки фашизму.
Цей інтернаціоналізм не буде стосуватися побудови нових імперій.
Ми не зацікавлені в створенні війни в Україні як способу підтримки військової економіки Сполучених Штатів. Ця економічна милиця війни Сполучених Штатів як засіб створення попиту має прийти до кінця, якщо ми хочемо врятувати нашу планету. Ми також не зацікавлені в тому, щоб угруповання в Росії та Німеччині з власними імперіалістичними планами звинувачували у всьому Сполучені Штати й намагалися представити себе як рятівників.
Ми з вами разом зустрінемо правду і не боятимемося зла. Ми будемо прагнути до справжніх інтересів українців і вийдемо за межі зали брехні та обману, які збили зі шляху весь світ.
우리는 제2차 세계대전의 규모보다 훨씬 더 큰 규모의 세계대전의 한복판에 있음을 알게 되었습니다.
하지만 전쟁의 본질은 바뀌었고, 결과적으로 많은 사람들은 무슨 일이 일어나고 있는지 상상할 수 없습니다.
그들은 그것이 권력을 둘러싼 국가간의 투쟁이라고 생각하는데, 사실 그것은 인류의 대부분을 파괴하려는
슈퍼리치들의 활동입니다. 게다가, 가장 위험한 순간을 만드는 것은 이 전쟁에서 전략의 일부입니다.
당장은 대부분의 사람들에게 아무 일도 일어나지 않는 것처럼 보이고, 마치 모든것이 서서히 정상으로 돌아오는 것처럼
말입니다. 이 전쟁의 최전선은 COVID19 공포와 강제 백신의 추진입니다. 모든 방향에서 우리에게 다가오는 그 압박은 의학이나 보건과는 아무 상관이 없습니다. 문제는 오진도 아니고 과학의 착오도 아니라는것입니다.
오히려 다국적 기업들은 정부, 대학, 연구소를 포함한 모든 믿을수 있는 정보의 원천을 파괴하기 시작했습니다.
전문가들이 기업으로부터 시키는 대로 말하도록 하고, 사람들이 어떤 과학 없이도 기업이 원하는 약물을 신체에 주입하도록 강요받는 시스템을 구축하도록 하는 것입니다. 단지 공포와 권위를 이용했을 뿐입니다.
COVID 19는 인간 삶의 모든 측면을 차지하기 위한 더 큰 계획의 일부에 불과합니다.
그것은 우리의 몸을 점령하기 위한 수단이기 때문에 전투의 최전선입니다.
기업들이 유전자 변형 RNA, 즉 나노 센서를 우리 혈액에 도입할 수 있도록 허용함으로써 말입니다.
하지만 이 회사들의 무기에는 다른 무기들이 있습니다.
회사들 은 우리가 그들에게 의존해서 식량을 얻기를 바랍니다. 그들은 우리가 직접 식량을 재배할수있는
모든 기회를 파괴하고, 그들이 생산한 고당도로 가공되고 건강에 좋지 않은 음식을 소비하도록 강요합니다.
그들은 농부들에게 1회용 씨앗과 함께 GMO 식물을 사용하도록 강요하고, 토양을 파괴하는 석유 기반의 비료와 살충제를 사용하도록 강요하고, 농부들을 회사 제품에 더 의존하게 만듭니다. (모두 우리의 세금으로 지불되는 정부 프로그램으로 자금을 지원받습니다). 그들은 또한 우리 모두가 그들에 의해 통제되는 해외로부터의 식량 수입에 의존하도록 노력합니다. 그들이 통제하는 제품을 사야 합니다. 그것들은 우리가 태양과 물, 그리고 우리 자신의 음식을 만들기 위해 모든 사람들의 소유인 흙을 사용하는 것을 막습니다. 그들은 심지어 차가운 도시 문화를 장려하고, 음식 자립을 파괴하는 방법으로 사람들을 도시로 이주하도록 강요함으로써 농사를 퇴보하게 합니다.
이 회사들은 국가 및 국제 은행과의 부패한 관계를 통해 무에서 무로 벌어들인 돈으로 전 세계의 농지를 매입하고 있습니다. 그들은 모든 반대파들이 굶어 죽을 수 있는 날을 준비하고 있습니다.
그들은 물을 통제하고, 공급을 사유화하고, 병에 담아야 할 물을 사도록 강요하고, 병에 든 물이 건강에 덜 좋을 때 더 건강하다고 생각하게 하고, 그들은 우리에게 환경을 해치고 시민들을 해치는 농업과 산업에 위험한 양의 물을 낭비하도록 강요합니다. 그들은, 거짓으로, 이 과정이 “성장”이라고 주장합니다.
그들은 “부동산”이라는 개념을 이용하여 인위적으로 땅값을 부풀리고 우리에게 위기의 속도로 주택값을 내도록 강요합니다. 우리에게 심각한 비율의 집값을 지불하라고 강요합니다. 투자은행과 부동산 비용의 관계는 언론에서 금기시되는 주제입니다.
그들은 우리에게 집과 아파트를 사기 위해 대출을 받으라고 강요함으로써 부를 쌓고, 그들은 우리가 행복하기 위해 비싼 주택에 돈을 낭비해야 한다고 설득하기 위해 영화, 광고, 광고판을 만듭니다.
그들은 우리가 물, 바람, 태양력, 심지어 우리의 근육을 통해서도 우리 자신의 에너지를 창조하는 것을 불가능하게 만듭니다. 그들만이 수입 화석 연료를 통해 공급하는 전기나 석유에 대한 의존을 강요합니다. 이들은 난방과 냉방에도 큰 돈을 벌고, 건물을 “에너지 효율”이라고 선전하면서도 낭비적인 방식으로 설계합니다.
그들은 전문가와 정치인들에게 뇌물을 주어 자동차를 위해 디자인된 도시를 만들어 위험하고 비싼 제품을 사도록 강요하고 수입 석유에 의존하도록 합니다. 이 모든 고속도로, 자동차 사고, 오염된 공기로 인한 암, 우리는 모든 가정에 태양 전지판을 무료로 쉽게 설치할 수 있었습니다. 우리는 쉽게 에너지에 의존할 수 있고, 에너지 수입을 보호하기 위한 무기에 그 모든 돈을 쓰는 것을 멈출 수 있습니다.
기업들은 의약품을 사유화를 강요해왔고 그들은 우리에게 건강관리와 의료보험에 더 많은 돈을 지불하도록 강요하고 있습니다. 정치인들에게 뇌물을 주면서 공공 의료비를 줄여 민간 의료 시설을 이용할 수밖에 없도록 했습니다. 사람들의 건강은 우선순위가 아니고, 기업의 이윤이 주된 목표입니다.
고소득 의료 전문가들은 대부분의 질병에 가장 적합한 천연 약초, 침술, 영양, 운동 그리고 다른 전통적인 건강 접근법들을 무시하거나 공격합니다. 시민들이 스스로, 무료로 할 수 있는 것은 아무것도 허용되지 않습니다. 우리는 광고를 통해 몸에 해롭거나 중독성이 있거나 심지어 치명적인 제약 제품을 사야 합니다. 그들은 이 약들을 홍보하기 위해 의사들에게 뇌물을 줍니다.
그들은 우리가 교육에 엄청난 돈을 쓰도록 강요하고 싶어합니다. 그들이 우리에게 정해놓은 일자리를
찾을 수 있도록 말입니다. 그들은 교육을 상품화합니다. 너무 비싸고 교육의 실제 업무와는 무관합니다.
그것은 사람들이 스스로 생각하고, 세상을 이해하고, 그들의 생각을 표현하고, 도덕적인 행동에 참여할 수 있도록 도와야 합니다. 교육은 단지 직업을 위한 자격을 얻기 위한 수단일 뿐이지, 스스로 생각하는 법을 배울 수 있는 기회가 아닙니다.
신문과 TV 뉴스의 저널리즘은 기업과 부자들을 보호하고 옹호하며 사람들을 혼란스럽게 합니다. 미디어는 성, 음식, 화려함으로 사람들을 유혹하는 것입니다.그래서 그들은 뷰유한 권력층에 의해 환경이
파괴되고 돈을 강탈되는것에 집중할 수 없습니다.
정부는 그러한 기업들을 통제하는 방법이 아니라, 기업들이 사용하는 우리를 통제하는 장치로 바뀌었습니다. 기업들은 수십억 달러를 들여 언론을 상대로 정부도 문제고 정치인들의 성격도 문제라는 것을 시민들에게 알리기 위해 뇌물을 바칩니다. 그들은 정부가 부자들의 능력을 통제하고 물리치기 위한 수단으로 운영될 수 있다는 진실을 숨깁니다.
아마도 우리에게 가해진 기업의 공격 중 가장 해로운 점은 과학에 대한 공격일 것입니다. 우리는 인간이 없는, 완전히 자동화된 비인간적인 사막인 우리 사회를 악몽으로 빠르게 변화시키는 기술이 필요하고, 심지어 피할 수 없는 것이라고 착각하고 있습니다. 한편, 과학적으로 생각하는 우리의 능력은 스마트폰과 게임, 포르노, 그리고 음식을 먹는 사람들의 이미지에 의해 파괴되고 있습니다. 이것은 우리 스스로 생각하는 능력, 객관적으로 세상을 분석하는 능력을 뺏기 위한 의도적인 전략입니다.
인간의 안보에 대한 필요성은 기업들에 의해 이용되고 있습니다.우리에게 막대한 부를 창출하고, 만들어지고 과장된
적들을 위한 무기를 팔기 위해서 말입니다. 그 무기는 엄청나게 비싸고 대부분의 경우 제대로 작동조차 하지 않습니다.
“국방”에 지출되는 비용의 대부분은 은행으로 이전되고 “기밀” 예산의 베일에 가려져 흔적도 없이 사라집니다.
기업들이 우리의 재정적인 독립성을 파괴하고 있습니다. COVID19는 독립 중소기업을 파괴하고, 대기업이 싼값에 사들일 수 있도록 하는 방법으로 사용되었을 뿐만 아니라, 그러나 그것은 바로 같은 기업들이 운영하는 정부가 공급하는 “기본소득”에 의존하게 만드는 방법이기도 합니다.그들은 우리가 온라인, 신용, 또는 암호화폐를 통해 모든 구매를 하도록 강요하고, 따라서 은행과 기업들에게 우리가 만약 그들이 싫어하는 일을 한다면 우리의 돈을 동결하거나 매달 지급되는 “대금 지급”을 중단할 수 있는 권한을 부여합니다.
기업의 마지막 변혁은 우리의 정신과 영혼을 정복하는 것입니다. 우리의 의식을 그들이 통제할 수 있고, 우리가 돈을 지불해야 하는 상품으로 만드는 것입니다.
첫째, 모든 상호 작용은 다국적 기업이 제어하는 소셜 미디어와 이메일에 의해 온라인으로 강제 시행되고 있습니다. COVID19는 친구나 가족과의 모든 만남을 중지시키고, 편지를 보내는 것을 비싸게 하거나, 해외로 보내는 것을 불가능하게 만드는 방법입니다.
우리는 유아기부터 상업적인 음악과 예술, 영화, TV를 공급받습니다. 그래서 우리는 우리 자신의 예술, 우리 자신의 음악을, 우리의 경험에 훨씬 더 적합하게, 그리고 훨씬 더 건강하고 영감을 주는 것을, 우리 스스로, 무료로, 우리의 손으로 만들 수 있다는 것조차 알지 못합니다.
우리는 우리의 창의성을 위해 애플이나 구글에 의존하게 됩니다. 우리는 70년 전에 우리가 직접 만든 가구나 도구를 가게에서 구매해야 합니다. 만약 우리가 이런 것들을 직접 만든다면, 우리는 직업을 가질 것이고, 우리의 경제를 통제할 것입니다. 우리는 기업의 이윤을 보장하고 우리를 더 가난하게 만들기 위해 빨리 닳는 의류와 다른 제품들을 사야 합니다.
기업들은 TV에 광고된 소위 “전문가” 들로 구성된 산업을 만들었습니다. 가족을 운영하는 법, 친구를 사귀는 법, 성공하는 법을 알려주고 싶은 사람들입니다. 그들은 우리의 우선순위가 무엇이어야 하는지 말해줍니다.그들은 우리의 가족과 친구들이 해야 할 역할을 하며, 우리의 독립성을 훼손하고, 더 많이 소비하고, 화려하게 사는 것이
우리의 최우선 과제가 되어야 한다고 제안합니다.
슬프게도, 나이든 사람들은 젊은이는 영감이 없고, 이전 세대의 훈련이나 집중력이 부족하다고 말합니다. 그들은 젊음을 의존적으로 만드는 피상적인 소비 문화, 모든 것이 대가를 치르는 진부한 사회를 만들기 위해 출발한 기업들에 의해 젊은이들이 표적이 되고 있다는 것을 생각조차 하지 않습니다.
우리는 어떻게 해야 될까요?
우리 세계의 인수는 거의 완성되었습니다. 다행스럽게도, 이 공격에 대해 깨어났고 해결책을 찾기 위해 고군분투하고 있는 것입니다.
첫째, 우리는 다국적 기업에 의한 우리의 공동체, 정부, 그리고 우리의 정신의 인수에 대응하기 위해 우리의 사고방식이 독립적이어야 합니다.
이는 우리가 지역 차원에서 해야 할 일을 친구나 이웃과 진지하게 논의할 수 있는 상업 매체에서 벗어나 시간을 가져야 한다는 것을 의미합니다. 이것이 첫 번째 단계입니다. 우리는 정보 출처, 기관, 기업 및 은행과 어떤 식으로든 연계된 정보에 의존할 수 없습니다. 그들은 우리가 듣고 싶은 말을 할지는 몰라도 우리를 돕기 위해 거기 있는 것이 아닙니다.
둘째로, 우리는 비록 우리가 손으로 쓴다고 할지라도, 우리 자신의 정보, 저널리즘의 원천을 만들어야 합니다. 그리고 우리는 우리 자신과 자녀들이 이 피상적인 문화로부터 벗어나서 무엇이 실제로 일어나고 있는지에 대해 쓰도록 훈련시켜야 합니다.
그것은 우리가 우리 자신의 학교를 설립하고, 병원을 설립하고, 우리만의 예술과 가구를 만들고, 우리만의 오락거리를 생산해야 한다는 것을 의미합니다.
GMO 1회용 종자가 아닌 실제 씨앗으로 재배되고 농약이나 제초제, 석유 비료를 사용하지 않는 유기농 식품을 접할 수 있도록 농민들과 동맹을 맺어야 한다는 뜻입니다. 일단 기업 납품업체와 독립적으로 공급된 식량이 확보되면, 우리는 독립성을 되찾기 시작할 것입니다.
우리는 평생을 서로 지원하겠다고 다짐하는 모든 구성원에게 주택을 제공하고 공동의 미래를 위해 우리의 자원을 결합하는 협동조합을 설립해야 합니다. 우리는 다국적 기업에 의해 인수된 금융 시스템과 독립적으로 우리 자신의 물물 교환 시스템과 통화를 구성해야 합니다.
현재 계획은 모든 사람들에게 위험한 “백신 접종”을 하도록 강요하고 있습니다. 그렇지 않으면 의사를 만나거나, 학교에 가거나, 가게에서 음식을 사거나, 은행에서 돈을 찾을수있는 권리를 박탈당하기도 합니다.
그 계획의 시행은 올 여름에 시작될 것입니다. 우리는 완전히 독립적인 협동조합을 만들든지, 아니면 변형된 RNA의 주입을 통해 GMO로 전환되든지, 동시에 24시간 우리를 지켜보고, 기업들에게 그 정보를 팔고, 그리고 나서 쓰레기 방송과 광고를 통해 우리의 사고를 약화시키는 기술에 의해 완전히 통제될 것입니다. 소위 “스마트 시티”라고 불리는 곳입니다.
최근에와서 몇명 의식있는 한국 지식인은 코로나 위기속에 상실한 대한민국 공화국 정체성에 분개하는바 올해 3월 1일 102년 전 탑골공원에서 낭독 한 독립선언을 계기로 새로운 독립운동을 준비하였습니다. 이 독립선언는 특정한 제국에서의 독립선언이 아니며 눈에 보이지 않는 국제금융제국으로부터 독립을 의미합니다. 세계금융제국으로부터의 한반도 진정한 한반도 경제, 정치 문화적 독립을 선언합니다.
