Money is a Communication; Accurate and True Communications will Never be Free

One of the messages Aaron Swartz was conveying was that information communication should be free.

However, insurance of accuracy and truth in communications will always involve the "trusted intermediary" (search terms) role.

The correct way to use specie coinage is as a recognized "savings" and as a performance bond.

"Put your money where your mouth is" converts to "Where is your skin in the game? or to "Who is holding your performance bond?"

The trusted intermediary is the escrow agent and responsible party who assures specific performance of contract.

The role of trusted intermediary will never be freely provided, however the demurrage principle that poses an extractive cost to all of the monetary communications can provide for the overhead cost of the trusted intermediary role.

Using reputation recording together with performance bonding creates a truth in communications result.

Government is a Superstition, Money is a Religion

Austrian economics isn't the solution, it is a major portion of the problem.

One proposition of economics - that real things are always limited in quantity and availability is correct, but an associated conclusion that money should therefore be always in "shortage" is incorrect. This secondary conclusion is a natural derivative of using specie coinage as the medium of exchange.

In a communication theory of money using demurrage to pay for paid professional administration, there is no impetus for creating "shortage" in the money communications.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

An interview done this week by GoldMoney's Andy Duncan with the German economics professor Thorsten Polleit, in which the professor explains why fiat currency systems lead to "collective corruption," delighted your secretary/treasurer because it reminded him of something a high school graduate said at GATA's Washington conference in 2008 ( [link to www.gata.org]

"The problem with central banking has been mainly the old problem of power -- it corrupts.

"Central bankers are supposed to be more capable of restraint than ordinary politicians, and maybe some are, but they are not always or even often capable of the necessary restraint. One market intervention encourages another and another and increases the political pressure to keep intervening to benefit special interests rather than the general interest -- to benefit especially the financial interests, the banking and investment banking industries. These interventions, subsidies to special interests, increasingly are needed to prevent the previous imbalances from imploding.

"And so we have come to an era of daily market interventions by central banks -- so much so that the main purpose of central banking now is to prevent ordinary markets from happening at all.

"Central banking controls the value of all labor, services, and real goods, and yet it is conducted almost entirely in secret -- because, in choosing winners and losers in the economy, advancing infinite amounts of money to some participants in the markets but not to others, administering the ultimate patronage, central banking cannot survive scrutiny.

"Yet the secrecy of central banking now is taken for granted even in nominally democratic countries."

That is, money creation is power, infinite money creation is absolute power, and as Lord Acton said so famously, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Professor Polleit backs it all up with some Austrian School economics in 27 compelling minutes at GoldMoney's Internet site here:

Re: Get rid of the money system, then get rid of goverrments
The Imaginary Increment; A Principle?

The imaginary increment; a principle?
I admit that I do not fully understand this principle, but stand by my personal conclusion that a principle exists.

The repetition in the last paragraph is deliberate; hoping slight restatements can convey the concept.

I believe it is a corollary phenomena to Gresham's law. Some sort of natural human behavior.

First I noticed that coinage always acquired a name. That this name personified the coinage which in turn took on an imaginary value beyond the commodity element used to create the coin.

The full bodied commodity coin will generally be "saved" while the warehouse receipt will circulate. This does not exclude direct barter, but this direct barter will only be a fraction the velocity of any currency format that has an "imaginary increment."

I suggest repeated readings of Gresham's Law by Robert Mundell, The Mandrake Mechanism by Griffin, and The Induction of Value to Money by Auriti.

Some sort of goofy law of human nature dictates that people actually gravitate toward scammy money. Riegel recognized this in his writing also but never explained it any better than I have. The very title of the book by Merrill Jenkins: MONEY, THE GREATEST HOAX ON EARTH is acknowledging the principle.

Basic principle: Paper money cannot "store value;" paper money can only serve in either a title capacity or a contract capacity instructing the bearer how, when, and where the value may be retrieved.


A pure metallic coin exchanged in barter may be a 100% value commodity, but it will only exchange at a low velocity.

An actual "money" coin has an imaginary PRICE added to the commodity value - and if this imaginary added PRICE is in any way dubious - then the velocity of exchange increases.


A money coin with an added "imaginary increment" of PRICE will exchange, while the commodity coin will stay home in the vault and serve in no exchange.

Money of 100% value stays home while money of uncertain value (over-priced) goes out and trades until there is a total loss of confidence that it has any value at all.

Tungsten Alloy Coinage

Pure silver and pure gold are soft metals that significantly wear from handling.

That fact is why US coinage was 90% silver, 10% copper. The Sterling silver coinage of the early English empire was based on the Troy pound; one Troy ounce of copper plus eleven Troy ounces of silver produced a 92.5 % coin. They took a better stamp, had a nice ring when dropped, and didn't wear as fast as pure silver.

Likewise, the gold coinage of South Africa, the Krugerrand has ten percent copper added for the same reasons.

One hundred years ago, tungsten metallurgy was unknown, but today there are processes for producing all types of tungsten alloys.

So, why not let the Chinese produce the labor symbols? Use some good hard stuff that has just enough added alloy it doesn't easily chip or shatter if dropped.

Re: Get rid of the money system, then get rid of goverrments
Usury (was - Why the Greenbackers Are Wrong)

The coinage charge is more correctly referred to as a "Franking charge."

The seigniorage is an imaginary value added to the coin. Thus in the example Mn supplied:
"The St. Louis Fed Answers: Why There’s No Gold Standard
Douglas French · December 31, 2012"
[link to lfb.org]

First an ounce of gold is called "Twenty Dollars" - then an ounce of gold is "revalued" as "thirty five dollars" - this is the seigniorage. The King claims to be the owner of that imaginary increment (the seigniorage). When a strict credit instrument is being traded as money it is all seigniorage.

The evolution over decades from partial redemption to zero redemption in specie was the change from some embedded value to zero embedded value.

The question evolved from "Where's the beef?" to "Do you hear the cow?" and far off we can only hear a "moo" bouncing between the hills.

When the money is all credit (100% seigniorage), then that seigniorage must be vested with the people by one mechanism or another. That is why I say that a mutual credit money system must be owned by the people in some socialistic manner.

Gold and silver coin can be owned by individuals, but mutual credit is a communal form.

So, now if You, the reader, wish to accuse me of being a communist, then I must confess guilty.

A whole lot of problems could have been avoided if at inception money could have been defined as silver and gold coin exchanged by weight and purity and with no additional numbers affixed to the coins and with no fixed ratios in exchange. Such a system could fluctuate in relative value to any other commodity and to the value of labor and be completely self-adjusting.

Furthermore I assert that multiple systems should be designed to run in parallel. A system based upon specie coinage such as gold, silver, and platinum with no fixed value ratio between them. A second system based upon a unit of energy such as a kilowatt-hour of electricity, and a third system based upon the human hour. There should be no attempt made to regulate the exchange rates between these systems.

That creates a self-regulation that brings in a era of stability never before found in exchange media.

What is a dollar?

There are currently at least five different values established by Congress for the dollar.

There is the Clad Coin Golden Presidential dollar.(fake gold made of an alloy of manganese, copper, zinc and nickel.)

There is the 1 ounce platinum coin that has a dollar value of $1 per 1/1000th of an ounce. (approximate)

There is the Silver dollar value of $1 per ounce.
There are the $5, $25 and $50 gold coins worth $1 per 1/50th of an ounce.

There is the $10 gold coin worth worth $1 per 1/40th of an ounce.

Then there is the Federal Reserve Note that has NEVER been declared to be a dollar or have the value of a dollar BY CONGRESS.

So which of these dollars or notes do Patriots and so-Called Christians use to calculate the value of income, land, food, cars etc.?

In other words a dollar has AT LEAST 5 different measurements attached to it by Congress.

(do not quote the above as being accurate - this post is about basic philosophy)

Tolling Jennings of BC Canada speaks out for Bernard von NotHaus

From: [link to lqmint.com]

The Honorable Richard L. Voorhees
U.S. District Judge
United States District Court for the Western
District of North Carolina
250 Charles R. Jonas Federal Bldg.
401 West Trade Street
Charlotte NC 28202 USA December 25 2012

Your Honor,

I note with interest that there has been no sentence passed in the case of Bernard Von NotHaus and the Liberty Dollar. I have also been struck by the similarities between the Von NotHaus case and the recent case of “Beers versus US of A”. Beers, as you are well aware, was based on the Constitutional right of Federal Judges to have their wages maintained so as not to fall victims to a hostile government that might cut remuneration to influence or remove a judge from office. The inflation in the United States was considered a de facto cutting of wages for judges. The success of Beers is a stunning confirmation of the validity of the Liberty Dollar and a vindication of Mr. NotHaus’s intention to create a vehicle that would afford the average American the same protection from inflation that you as a Federal Judge enjoy.

One of the stated intentions of the Liberty Dollar is to offer a voluntary barter item that would be inflation proof. Because the Liberty Dollar is based in gold and silver the value of the Liberty Dollar increases as the fiat currencies of the nation states devalue due to monetary inflation thus maintaining the purchasing power of those who choose to use the Liberty Dollar.

It would appear that Von NotHaus has devised the proper monetary system for our time and that rather than a stint in a Federal Prison, he ought to be offered a position at another Federal institution, perhaps the Treasury Department as Secretary.

In light of the decision in Beers, I urge you to consider an acquittal of Mr. Von Nothaus or at the least a new trial.

Thank you for your consideration of this new information.

It is not the basic principle of debt that is wrong; it is wrongful assignment of seigniorage to the credit ownership by the banks that is wrong number one. This is the fifth plank of the communist manifesto in action.

In a mutual credit monetary system (which I support) the system itself must be owned by the users as tenants in common or similar ownership model. The bank must be in an agency position to the people with annual or semi-annual disbursements of profit back to the people.

The greatest theft in the history of the world is taking place in front of everyone's face and almost nobody comprehends how it is taking place.

The bank is not loaning out marbles, it is hypothecating debt paper - when they do not own the credit in the first place.

OK, I wrote: "The bank is not loaning out marbles, it is hypothecating debt paper - when they do not own the credit in the first place."

Just to honor the metaphor created by Michael Rivero, let up presume they actually are loaning marbles. Then, we must ask: "How did the bank acquire the marbles in the first place?"

One hundred years ago in 1913 and again in 1933 the government was crying "We are running out of marbles!" and the cry went out to round up all the marbles the people had and to put the marbles in a government repository. The government then decreed that the banks could loan the marbles to the people. This was done by license - otherwise it would have been illegal.

So, now the banks loan out ten marbles and demand back eleven - while CONVENIENTLY IGNORING THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT OWN THE FIRST TEN.

The usury issue is important, but the ownership issue is larger. That is my point.

The Bradbury Pound (UK e-book, written in 2012)

[link to dont-tread-on.me]

By Gareth, on January 4th, 2013 (written in 2012)

I’m about to encourage you to read an e:book, a free e:book I might add, but before I do I’d like to bat-away any nonsense about gold and silver being ‘honest’ money and state categorically that gold and silver are pieces of metal that have been used for both ‘honesty’ and ‘dishonesty’. In other words, gold and silver are indifferent and have been used for both ‘good’ and ‘evil’ for many centuries.

Surely ‘honest’ money is a commodity that works for the benefit of the overall economy, is created without any debt attached to the general population, and is not a creation of malevolent psychopaths and sociopaths that deem themselves the worthy rulers of the planet known as earth? Surely we should ‘put to bed’ this fallacious argument that only a return to gold and silver as money is the solution to preventing further dominion and enslavement perpetrated by the vicious and arrogant in-bred ‘rulers’ of the western world?

Just to be clear: I stack silver and all excess £sterling I acquire is converted into this metal. Furthermore, I encourage those I care about to do the same as silver is an excellent means for preserving one’s wealth and also an prudent and effective decentralised method to attack the bankster filth……..some might even call it a ‘silver bullet‘. However, I decided a long time ago that the problem isn’t fiat money, but debt-based privately-issued currency controlled by a select few, to benefit a select few, to the detriment of the many. Please always consider that the Rothschild’s commenced their empire though loaning-out gold, yes that’s correct – gold, and not some made-up fiat.

I hope you read this free ebook and consider the merits of the theories enclosed with an open mind.

From one silver stacker to another…..

My name is Henry Wallen and I am a staff writer at skewnews.com, a satire website.

Recently I wrote an political article entitled, "Penny and Nickel Coins to be Phased Out in 2013" which announced that pennies and nickels would be discontinued in January 2013. Most of our regular readers understood that it was fiction, but some people did not. The story went viral and has been viewed by several hundred thousand people.

The piece is not mean spirited, harmful or slanderous in any way, and skewnews.com carries a disclaimer stating that the website is not responsible for the accuracy of any work. However the editors and I agreed to come clean on this one.

For those people who were upset by the penny and nickel going away in January, you can be assured that this is not happening; the story is fiction and was written for entertainment value only.

If you have questions or comments, I encourage you to post them here, instead of on the original story page, as this format allows for a more interactive dialog.

Respectfully,

See, I have explained that when the King of Iron arrives, he will simply have to revalue the coins.

Now, I am not sure if this idiot above meant to step all over the point, but it is important to make clear: True and good coins in the realm is like medicine for sick goverrments.

So let's not be like this dummy above, and misunderstand.

When a nickle can no longer be made, well, as with all coins, nickles will be worth more than .05 percent of a "Federal Reserve Note"

But when a nickle is worth more than .05 percent of a "dollar", how much is it worth in thalers?

Price:US $2.20 / piece
Shipping Cost: Free Shipping

[link to www.aliexpress.com]

If you don't care about it being fake, it is a hell of a deal. but probably easily spotted by anyone with some understanding of how metals can be used to debauch.

But anyway, since the ACTUAL moly washington quarter is only worth .25 Federal Reserve Notes or maybe .17 FRNs in moly bullion then this means that the 1932 Washington fake has more intrinsic value at the moment, than the actual Washington quarter.

Well, the question is, how much will this dude charge to make nickles? Can he get his costs down? Hmm, however, there are millions of nickles in the hands of all street-level Americans of all ages.

So if you intend to crash all money, then the nickle is a lifeline. But as I have explained in this t'read here, nickles and dimes and quarters would have to be revalued upward by maybe 10x ...So a nickle would be worth .50 FRN in that armageddon scenario, as the paper money erupts into the flaming balls of theft and nothingness that it is.

Now, yes, when the nickle and other common coins are revalued, there will have to be a new minting of moly coins, totally different in style and composition. Yes, these could be gold and silver and that would have meaning, but the counterfeiters would still win because time input to make the fakes is very profitable. But not so much on the nickles, as even if they are valued upward to .50 FRN value, I doubt Chinese man with factory can get them in large quantities and across the ocean at 50 cents each. But maybe?

Furthermore as to coinsmelting and valuation

This Chinese coinmaker can get you 1932-D WASHINGTON QUARTER DOLLAR for 2.20 denominated in Federal Reserve Notes.

1932-D WASHINGTON QUARTER DOLLAR
Price:US $2.20 / piece
Shipping Cost: Free Shipping

Okay and here's an actual 1932 D Washington quarter

[link to www.ebay.com]

And at 15 FRNs you can see how any coin over a few dollars in value, makes sense to be copied by the fakers.

Tell me me now, if one can take actual silver and mint FAKE but really silver US coins, like say I give 100k in silver bullion to the Chinese man with factory above, and tell him to make me 1932 D Washington quarters, the silver cost is minimal, compared to 100 USD/FRN value of a 1932 D Washington quarter.

So even minting at melt prices, won't save anything.

So yes, any revaluation or confiscation is probably going to involve exchanges of lead before exchanges of silver or gold, haha.

So lead and brass come together to form a round. The brass is being removed from the American shooters, but in the form of fake coins made in china, said brass can be collected! HA

And lead, well, billions of rounds to the Treasury can have two different meaning can't it? Anyway, good thread.

Very slow shipping, and Item was terrible compared to the rest of the items, which were amazing. Absolutely would not recommend this coin to anybody. Sharp very raised rim, circular imprint within rim on top edge.
 Quoting: fake coin mad dude


HAHA He won't recommend a fake coin because its not good enough!

Hmmm, how does one judge a fake coin as good or bad?

Intention is required in a court of law, right? TO WHOM would this buyer be recommending this fake? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I guess its true that crime has a trickle down effect, like how in Russia the regular people are forced into crime just to live. BUT HEY, this Chinese coinmaker has old 1749 russian ruble coins as well!

The difference is that only one of the fake coins discussed here, is still ostensibly circulating US currency, that is to say, I can take a 2.20 FRN modern chinese fake Washington quarter and spend it in a coin machine for .25 FRN value.

[link to www.aliexpress.com]

An actual 1749 ruble is worth around 1000-2000 FRNs at this time, but I'm making a point here get it?

Oh, and all lawyers, who grease the wheels of this evil machinery, are as debauched a caste, as the coins from China. But the point is, giving people bad feedback on the global coinmarket level is just not cool. Chinese man has factory to pay for. How many fake coin minters inside the US in 2013? How many in 2025? Only the Treasury Dept and their militarized future selfs, can save us! Hahahaha, as if.

Re: Get rid of the money system, then get rid of goverrments
Ah yes here's timgits stating the costs of making nickles and pennies:

[link to blogs.wsj.com]

[...]

Geithner, in written testimony prepared for the House Committee on Appropriations, said a good portion of next year’s savings at Treasury will come from changing the composition of U.S. coins to more cost-effective materials.

“Currently, the costs of making the penny and the nickel are more than twice the face value of each of those coins,” Geithner said in his remarks.

The cost of making pennies and nickels are about twice the face value of the coins–2.4 cents for a penny and 11.2 cents for a nickel, the Treasury Department said earlier this month. Rising commodity prices have driven higher production costs. The Mint said it used 16,365 tons of copper, 2,311 tons of nickel and 11,844 tons of zinc to produce all coins in fiscal year 2011.

So if timgits lies, that is perjury? ahh, silly question.

Anyway, this tidbit is also relevant:

United States Mint Limits Exportation & Melting of Coins
Final Rule Maintains Policy Established in December


WASHINGTON - The United States Mint today announced a final rule to limit the exportation, melting, or treatment of one-cent (penny) and 5-cent (nickel) United States coins, to safeguard against a potential shortage of these coins in circulation.

United States Mint Director Edmund C. Moy had approved an interim rule on December 12, 2006, to be in effect for 120 days. Enactment of the final rule was pending public comment, solicited during a 30-day period from the date of the interim rule’s publication in the Federal Register on December 20, 2006.

“The new rule safeguards the integrity of U.S. coinage and protects taxpayers from bearing the costs to replace coins withdrawn from circulation,” said Director Moy.

The rising commodity prices of copper, nickel and zinc have increased the value of the metal in both pennies and nickels so that the content of these coins now exceeds their face value. There is concern that speculators could remove pennies and nickels from circulation and sell them as scrap for profit.

The United States Mint has received inquiries from the public over the past several months concerning the metal value of these coins and whether it is legal to melt them. Widespread withdrawal of pennies and nickels from circulation could cause coin shortages, and it would be extremely costly to replenish them, given prevailing metal prices and production costs.

Specifically, the newly enacted final regulation prohibits, with certain exceptions, the exportation, melting or treatment of one-cent and 5-cent coins. Some of the exceptions allow for small amounts of these coins to be exported as pocket change, and for recreational and numismatic purposes. Other exceptions include the treatment of minor quantities of these coins for educational, amusement, novelty, jewelry and similar purposes. However, the public should review the regulation for precise terms and limitations of the exceptions.

The new regulation authorizes a fine of not more than $10,000, or imprisonment of not more than five years, or both, against a person who knowingly violates the regulation. In addition, by law, any coins exported, melted, or treated in violation of the regulation shall be forfeited to the United States Government.

The new rule, and public comments received on the interim rule, appear on the United States Mint website at www.usmint.gov

Re: Get rid of the money system, then get rid of goverrments
Thanks for the links Gembouncer; I began comprehension of the symbolic and token (belief) origins of money 15 years ago.

But conveying my understanding to others has been difficult.

Those old coins used hand casting and one at a time stamping equipment, but today's sheet rolling and planchett cutting equipment yields a consistent coin.

The stamping equipment uses hydraulic presses that kick out very nice looking detailed coins and at high rates of speed.

I think tungsten coinage might use different processes. (Haven't actually tried to discover how tungsten is worked)

Like I posted before, use gun cartridge brass; doesn't seem like there will be a shortage of that anytime soon.

This confuser is so internally compromised I am going to do a switch out to a laptop. It is running very slowly and balking at anything that involves you tube or adobe flash.

Anyway, do this search:

Discussion of the trillion dollar coin proposal:
[link to www.independentamerican.org]

I don't have a problem with credit as money and in fact have come out clearly in favor of a mutual credit monetary system.

However, the value of the credit must be vested in the people and the banks placed into an agency relationship to the people.

Open books with the money system run as a not-for-profit with disbursements of profits back to the people.

Specie coinage is best recognized as a "medium of savings" where these savings can be used in a performance bond role. In conjunction with a formal system of reputation recording. If anyone has a poor reputation, then they must have savings to place at risk.

Truth in commerce requires that all players have some skin in the game.

Look at what is happening with the international efforts to recover long held gold bullion and ask:

Is the deposit of gold actually functioning as a performance bond against the central banking fraternity?

They are habitual liars and get caught up in their lies.
