Making the Homeland secure for the banksters.

So long as the people believe they are without hope and unable to extricate themselves - then this is true.

However, if they finally recognize their ability to create their own monetary communications - then they can stop paying tribute to the banksters and control freaks.

Creating your own monetary communications is the ultimate freedom technology.

Bitcoin should be thought of as an example and possible model.

Hitch-hiker’s guide to monetary infrastructure

I think existentialism is what would be needed to battle the greed and exploitation. To remove yourself from the system as much as you can would lessen the power that is harnessed when you plug in to the system, is all it takes - it's very simple and effective.

What's hard is to reject the illusion that the tptb casts that 'the american way' or 'wealth' or being 'financially secure' is everyones endeavour. It's all set-up to exploit and harness your power.

We are constantly threatened with the spectre of being poor if we don't play the game - it's like this: they fear you being poor as much as you do - because then they'd have nothing to exploit. To make matters worse, you might get used to having simple needs and actually like living outside of the rat race. Imagine that - a host whos needs are so little that the parasite can't skim the fat off the top.

This is an excellent observation: "PART IV - Why Does Our Government Do This?

Earlier, I told you I would explain why the government does this. And the answer is because it makes it easier for politicians to get re-elected.

Under our Constitution and a sound money system like a gold standard, the government would have to tax the citizens with what's called a direct tax.

Let's say the government wants to spend money on some programs and it's going to cost $300 Billion more than they are going to take in, in revenue. That means they are going to run a deficit of $300 Billion. With roughly 300 million citizens in America that results in a cost of $1,000 per man, woman and child. So now you get a knock on your door from a tax collector and are told that your family of 4 will have to immediately pay the government $4,000 in a direct tax so the government can spend money on these programs. What would you do? You would call up your congressman and bitch. You would tell him that if he doesn't fix the problem he will be out of a job.

You would take an active role in politics, and that's the last thing politicians want. They just want to get re-elected without all the hassle. So instead of taxing you honestly, they purchase money from the federal reserve, make our national debt go up, and devalue our money through inflation. And since the effects of inflation are delayed anywhere from between 6 months to 2 years, by the time gasoline or food prices go up, it can be blamed on war, greedy arabs, or bad weather, and the politician [and federal reserve] can escape the blame, even though they are the ones responsible. So the next time you hear that oil prices are higher because of a hurricane; remember it's not true."

bitcoin was an obvious fail.

A liquidity trap is a design problem.

If you built a bridge and it fell down, would you use the same plans and rebuild the same way?

But liquidity traps have happened before and monetary engineers see fit to repair and reopen using the same plans.

The story is from June 12 and titled Crooked Minter Tarnishing Private Silver Reputation?

From the Silver Bullet, Silver Shield group.

[link to dont-tread-on.me]

It is all about vesting of the seigniorage in money.

Allow me to explain once again.

All forms of money are partially real, partially illusion.

Even something as real as a precious metal coin has a physical presence with real properties and multiple industrial and jewelry uses - but when you begin using that commodity as a coin currency - the same commodity acquires an imaginary quality - an additional added imaginary value that reflects upon it's usefulness in commercial exchange.

This additional (imaginary) value is the seigniorage. So long as there is redemption available in physical coinage then the seigniorage is vested in the physical coin. Historically the seigniorage value was claimed to be the property of the royalty running the show.

However, with a non-redeemable paper currency (fiat if that is your preferred term) ALL OF THE VALUE IS IMAGINARY – and in the present system all of the imaginary value (the seigniorage) is said to be owned (vested) with the banks.

This major alteration was implemented under Roosevelt in the 30s. It is the fifth plank of the communist manifesto. The credit of the people (the seigniorage) is claimed to be the property of the government. The government in turn assigns by license to the banks the right to loan credit to the people.

WHILE CREATING A MEME THAT CREDIT IS SOMEHOW IN SHORTAGE JUST AS GOLD OR SILVER MIGHT BE IN SHORTAGE?

The people’s credit should never be in shortage so long as there are people able and available and willing to perform intellectual and physical labor.

If the seigniorage value of an imaginary fiat currency is assigned to the banksters, then over time the bankers will end up owning everything.

If the seigniorage value of an imaginary fiat currency is assigned to the governsters, then over time the governors with end up owning everything.

With a currency of no intrinsic value (no lawful redemption in a commodity) the seigniorage value must be vested with the people and over time the people will own everything.

LAST DAY to take advantage of the $110 discount for the 2013 AMI Monetary Reform Conference!

All registrations postmarked by June 21st are $285 instead of the full $395. Save $110!

Here is why this year's conference is shaping up as our best ever:

9th Annual AMI Monetary Reform Conference
September 19-22, 2013 Chicago, Illinois


The 2013 AMI Monetary Reform Conference is shaping up as an important event in the ongoing battle to achieve real monetary reform!

We have assembled as speakers the main people on the front lines of monetary reform around the world. Here is the superstar line-up:

Professor Joseph Huber of Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany's most important monetary reformer. Working on the subject with James Robertson (UK) from 1999-2001 on behalf of the New Economics Foundation, London (report Creating New Money). His talk, Modern Money - Interest-bearing Credit or Debt-free Currency? confronts certain assumptions of Modern Money Theory with the views of contemporary monetary reform initiatives.

Dr. Michael Kumhof of the IMF, whose IMF Working Paper, The Chicago Plan Revisited, has taken the world's economic community by storm! Two appearances at the Bank of England, since publication in August. Appearances at several monetary meetings. He shows that inflation is less likely under a system where money is created by the government, as money, not as credit by banks. A viewpoint that can't be ignored.

Prof. Kaoru Yamaguchi, A leading macroeconomist, whose systems analyst computer projections show the excellent results of using HR 2990 and the American Monetary Act; concluding that they Pay off the National Debt as it comes due; provide the funding for infrastructure (which solves the unemployment problem); and do this without inflation!


Prof. Richard Werner has emerged as the central figure advising monetary authorities of the European money system to cease their destructive austerity programs. He is Chair of International Banking and founding Director of the Center for Banking, Finance, and Sustainable Development at the University of Southampton. His book Princes of the Yen became a no. 1 bestseller in Japan. His 2005 book New Paradigm in Macroeconomics (Palgrave Macmillan) correctly predicted the collapse of the UK banking system and property market and suggested workable solutions.

Prof. Nic Tideman of Virginia Tech, served as Staff Economist at the President’s Council of Economic Advisers at the White House. Nic is a senior adviser to the American Monetary Institute. His recent work, which became apparent at the AMI Cooper Union Monetary Reform Event, in May, is establishing Nic as among the foremost professors of Economics discussing monetary reform. This talk will show why.


Steve Keen, top Australian monetary economist Steve Keen who won the inaugural (Paul) Revere Award for giving an early warning (2005) of the debt-deflation collapse. He has built a growing reputation as a rare deep thinker on how monetary systems really work, not just how the central banks have said they work. Thus his blog has over 50,000 followers. Keen has served as Associate Professor, School of Economics & Finance, University of Western Sydney, Australia.

People need to wake up.

Strongly urge you all to watch Zeitgeist films, particularly #2 Addendum. And try not to lose hope. We can fight this.

Here is the post where the original info came from:



WHAT IS SKYDRIVE?

Jon Rappoport has a current piece on his site No More Fake News dot com about how the technocrat is the ultimate control freak operating the controls for the NWO. Rappoport goes on to predict that human creativity will always route around the controls.

A very good piece of writing as is the norm for Rappoport.

Anyway, in analogy, here is a you tube video that might suggest how centralized banking might be routed around with a little chunk coin like method of handling the credit exchanges of people.

The blurb also serves as key to the map:

Illness and death are the common lot of humanity, but just how they get you depends in part on where in the world you live. This artwork makes that point by combining the beauty of microscopy with the geography of disease. Each continent is painted as microscopic views of the parts of the body that, when diseased or dysfunctional, cause most death or illness for the people who live there.

North America is built from fatty adipose tissue because of its epidemic of obesity. Europe and Russia is represented by brain tissue, representing the neurodegenerative disease of its ageing population. East Asia and the Pacific region is shown as pancreatic tissue, which when diseased causes diabetes. Greenland is marked by a few sperm cells that represent infertility.

The artist, Odra Noel, trained as a doctor, and uses her knowledge of organs and tissues, cell structure and mitochondria in her work. She says she painted this work on silk to evoke old maps.

Quantity theory

Not much written about quantity theory any more; but it is my conviction that the historical belief in specie money is really about maintaining a constant quantity of money in circulation.

Bill Still speaks frequently about a constant quantity, and writes that congress should simply maintain a constant quantity - makes sense to me - so many units per capita...

Tie the quantity to population demographics and let the market sort out the price structure.

Ellen Brown report from Kenya; create a local mutual credit currency - get charged with counterfeiting:

[link to truth-out.org]

Fairly long piece; I find the legal argument the most interesting.

QUOTE The Legal Debate: Mutual Credit or Counterfeiting?

If the Kenyan court follows the example of Brazil, this could be the beginning of a promising new approach to poverty reduction in Africa. The Bangla-Pesa is backed by local resources, and the villagers were very happy to have it in order to move their products and buy the surplus of others within their community.

Viewed as a case of counterfeiting, however, there is historical precedent for harsh punishment. In the mid-eighteenth century, when the Bank of England was privately owned and had the exclusive right to issue the national currency, counterfeiting Bank of England Notes was made a crime punishable by death. That was the era of Charles Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities and Bleak House, when supplementing the national currency might have helped relieve mass poverty; but it was in the interest of the Bank to control the market for currency and keep it scarce, in order to ensure a steady demand for loans. When there is insufficient money in the system to cover the needs of exchange, people must borrow from banks at interest, ensuring the banks a handsome profit.

The converse is also true: when sufficient money is supplied to cover the needs of exchange, debt levels and poverty are dramatically reduced.

In this case, the physical Bangla-Pesa voucher looks nothing like the national currency, as it would need to in order to sustain a charge of forgery. The intent of complementary currencies, as their name implies, is not to imitate or compete with the national currency but to complement it, allowing for increased sales within the local community of existing goods and services that would otherwise go unsold. Today, the Bank of England itself acknowledges this role of complementary currencies.

The Bangla-Pesa experience demonstrates what policymakers often overlook: gross domestic product is measured in goods and services sold, not goods and services produced; and for goods to be sold, purchasers must have the money to buy them. Provide consumers with excess money to spend, and GDP will go up. (In Kenya, where nearly half the population lives in poverty and mass unemployment, increases in GDP reflect extractive practices rather than local conditions.)

The common perception is that increasing the medium of exchange will merely devalue the currency and increase prices, but the data show that this does not happen so long as merchandise and services remain unsold or workers remain unemployed. Adding liquidity in those circumstances drives up sales, productivity and employment rather than prices.

This was demonstrated in a larger experiment in Argentina, when the country suffered a major banking crisis in 1995. Lack of confidence in the peso and capital flight ended in a full-scale run on the banks, which closed their doors. When the national currency became unavailable, people responded by creating their own. Community currencies at the local level evolved into the Global Exchange Network (Red Global de Trueque or RGT), which went on to become the largest national community currency network in the world. The model spread throughout Central and South America, growing to seven million members and a circulation valued at millions of U.S. dollars per year. At the local government level, provinces short of the national currency also resorted to issuing their own money, paying their employees with paper receipts called “Debt-Cancelling Bonds” that were in currency units equivalent to the Argentine Peso.

Although these various measures increased the currency in circulation, prices did not inflate. To the contrary, studies found that in provinces in which the national money supply was supplemented with local currencies, prices actually declined compared to other Argentine provinces. Local exchange systems allowed goods and services to be traded that would not otherwise have found a market.

This salutary effect was also observed in Bangladesh. “With Bangla-Pesa,” says Ruddick, “we’ve seen that a circulating community-backed interest-free credit is a low-cost, effective way to increase local liquidity and decrease poverty.”

The defendants just need to prove that in court. A crowd-funding campaign is being used to raise the money urgently needed for their defense.
