Socialism; In a class by itself: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] (40.5 minutes)(October 12, 2019)
With host John Loeffler

The supplied blurb reads: "You have to ask critical questions in order to cut through the noise and get to the bottom of any issue. In this week's boralogue, John looks at several news stories – protests in Ecuador, global warming outrage, calling out hate speech – and asks the critical question in each instance. Once you know what to watch for, getting at the real issue underneath the noise is easy. It's also essential.

Collectivism has invaded the classroom in the form of socialist-themed textbooks. Dr. Ileana Johnson (www.ileanajohnson.com), speaker and freelance writer at Canadian Free Press, examines how socialists have infiltrated our education system and shows how history is being revised in America's schools away from a fact-based curriculum and toward a more globalist feelings-based narrative."

Re: Get rid of the money system, then get rid of goverrments
Anna von Reitz; Credit is not money; Reference:

[link to www.paulstramer.net]

Limited extract:

Back in World War II we used both military script Vouchers and Commodity Coupons on a daily basis.

Soldier’s pay on base installations was issued as credit-bearing script, red, blue, pink and so forth, that could be traded at base “exchanges” for whatever they and their families needed.

This “off economy” credit system allowed our service members to function outside of and independently apart from whatever civilian economy there was.

We still have this “P” EX system today, though our soldiers are typically paid in Federal Reserve Notes —-however, if you look closely you will see that these “Notes” continue the old colored script designations via colored seals—red, green, blue, etc. That is, instead of the notes all being different colors, only the seals on the notes are different colors.

Federal Reserve Notes are military script being used to substitute for both actual money which is required to have its own intrinsic commodity value, like gold, and also as a substitute for conventional bank credit.

This military script system was adopted for use throughout the British Territorial United States in 1913 and extended to the general populace because the Scottish Commercial Corporation that fraudulently conducted business “in our name” as The United States of America (Incorporated) from 1868 to 1907, went bankrupt.

Our soldiers and their dependents were sold into slavery to international banks as collateral to support the script.

Over time, their sacrifice was not sufficient and the Guilty Parties responsible for this circumstance (the Brits and the Roman Pontiff) further conspired to conscript babies “found” on their non-existent “battlefield” as United States (Territorial) Citizens—- just like the members of the US Military and their Dependents.

In this way, millions of American civilians were caught up in this “flesh for credit” scheme and military script disguised as “Federal Reserve Notes” were issued on the basis of their lifetime estimated value and their “collateral”— blood, bones, teeth, labor, etc. was amortized and securitized and bonded.

Not only was our military betrayed, but through our military, we were “sold” into this same system of gross enslavement and “volunteered” without our knowledge or consent to serve “as” British Territorial United States Citizens and slaves of the feckless Roman Municipal Government.

Max Keiser; Blackouts & Technical debt - video:
[link to www.youtube.com (secure)] (25.75 minutes)

This is quite good; begins with a broad attack by Max and Stacy Hebert on many current events. The supplied blurb reads: “In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the ‘technical debt’ timebomb threatening infrastructure across America: from water to sewage to electric and roads and bridges, it has been corporations, investors and taxpayers who have refused to pay to maintain the infrastructure over the decades. They also talk about Kingston, NY, the city preparing for economic collapse by going local.

In the second half, Max talks to Gerald Celente of TrendsResearch.com about life in Kingston as the movement toward localism continues to flourish. They also discuss the future for California where blackouts, homelessness and medieval diseases are on the rise.”


Max and Stacy advocate for many functions (health care, public utilities etc) to be run by government (socialism) which can be contrasted by the talk by Warren Pollock on Greg Hunter's channel who attacks socialism and especially China who Pollock calls the new Nazis.

Greg Hunter with Rob Kirby - Amount of Money Fed Into System Now Too Hard to Hide

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)] (30 minutes)(posted about midnight Nov 12)

Rob Kirby: SOMETHING VERY NASTY IS COMING OUR WAY
Rob Kirby paraphrased: I believe Trump is hoping he can grow out of this problem... But the problem is beyond a solution.

Greg Hunters supplied video blurb reads: "The gold and silver market being flooded with paper shorts is yet another sign that time is short. Kirby says the elite want people to think gold and silver are bad investments, but he says don’t believe it, and “do not sell it.” Macroeconomic analyst Rob Kirby goes on to warn, “Gold and silver are historically alternatives to a failing fiat currency regime. The U.S. dollar is failing in front of our eyes. We know that because we know that $21 trillion extra (on top of the $23 trillion national debt) was created, and we know what they are doing with it. Part of that $21 trillion is being used to knock the price of gold and silver down with paper contracts. This is not a winning strategy, and this will ultimately blow up in their face too. They are being done to buy time and make the dollar appear strong. . . . The way this has to end is the U.S. dollar will go to its real intrinsic value, which is zero. That implies a hyperinflationary experience at some point in time, and it could be soon. . . . The amount of money being fed into the system is soon going to be too hard to hide.”

Financial writer and book author John Rubino points out, “Fear is the enemy in a fiat currency system. Everything is based on our assumption that the guys in charge know what they are doing and that the confidence in them is good. You take that away, and they let us see them sweat, and it’s over. There is no real bottom for the dollar, euro or the yen. Their intrinsic value is zero. When the economic players out there in the global financial system realize that the central banks of the world are out of ammo, and nothing these guys do is going to fix our problem, then all hell breaks loose. . . . What worries me about today’s world is that everything falls apart all at once, and there is no way to fix what went wrong. . . .We have a lot of examples of governments doing crazy things when everything falls apart.”

Stick to Hayek and Bastiat if non other.

For your edification here is Wikipedia on the history of the word dollar:
[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

The word dollar is a perversion of a Germanic name for valley and went through a number of variations. It was associated with silver coinage for over 600 years, but size, weight, and purity varied the entire time.

1519 Minting of Thalers begins in Joachimsthal in Bohemia

This coin made from locally-mined silver is known as the Joachimsthaler, or thaler for short, from its place of origin, and is widely imitated. The Anglicised form of the name, dollar, is later used for the Spanish peso and the Portuguese eight-real piece which circulate widely in North America both before and after the United States gains its independence.

If you look through this chronology of money timeline, you can discover that the Talley stick credit instruments have a history of usage longer than the United States has been a political entity.

[link to projects.exeter.ac.uk]

Tally stick history: [link to unusualhistoricals.blogspot.com (secure)]

In England the use of tally stick credit instruments began in the year 1100, and ended in 1834 which is a period of time of about 700 years.

It is my opinion that cryptocurrencies will become the next medium of exchange. The description of a commonly accepted value can be incorporated within the cryptocurrency.

Part One of Two Parts: Jim Willie: US Treasuries Are The New Sub-Prime Bond

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)] (40.8 minutes)

While the Federal Reserve has yet to fully explain what the problem is that’s requiring more printed money than during the quantitative easing programs, Jim Willie, editor of TheHatTrickLetter on TheGolden-Jackass.com, has been forecasting it years in advance.

He’s been explaining why foreign countries are walking away from the dollar, and why the system is finally breaking now. And fortunately he was kind enough to join me on the show and share how we got here, and some of the stunning details about what’s coming next.

He discussed why Russia sold its treasuries last year. Why they reallocated into gold. And why as a result the US has now begun directly monetizing its debt.

As well as if China really has as much dollar and treasury exposure as we’re led to believe, and why the world is repudiating treasuries and acquiring gold at the fastest rate since the dollar left the gold standard in 1971.

A lot of what Jim has been forecasting for years is finally manifesting now.

The Greatest Swindle in American History… And How They’ll Try It Again Soon by Jeff Thomas

International Man: Before 1913 there was no income tax, and the United States was a much freer country. Initially, the government sold the federal income tax to the American people as something only the rich would have to pay.

Jeff Thomas: Yes, exactly. It always begins this way. The average person is always happy to see the rich taken down a peg, so this makes the introduction of the concept of theft by the government more palatable. Once people have gotten used to the concept and accept it as being perfectly reasonable, then it’s time to begin to drop the bar as to who “the rich” are. Ultimately, the middle class are always the real target.

International Man: The top bracket in 1913 kicked in at $500,000 (equivalent to around $12 million today), and the tax rate for it was only 7%. The government taxed those making up to $20,000 (equivalent to around $475,000 today) at only 1% – that’s one percent.

Jeff Thomas: Any good politician understands that you begin with the thin end of the wedge, then expand upon that as soon as you feel you can get away with it. The speed at which the tax rises is commensurate with the level of tolerance of the people. And in different eras, the same nation may have a different mindset. The more domination a people have come to accept from their government, the faster the pillaging can be expanded.

As an example, the Stamp Tax that King George III placed upon the American colonies in the eighteenth century was very small indeed – less than two percent – but the colonists were very independent people, asking little from the king in the way of assistance, and instead, relying upon themselves for their well-being. Such self-reliant people tend to be very touchy as regards confiscations by governments, and even two percent was more than they would tolerate.

By comparison, if today, say, Texas were to eliminate all state taxation and allow only two percent in federal taxation, Washington would come down on them like a ton of bricks, saying they were attempting to become a “tax haven.” They’d be accused of money laundering and aiding terrorism and might well be cut out of the SWIFT system. The federal government would shut down the state government if necessary, but diminished tax would not be tolerated.

International Man: Of course, once the American people conceded the principle of an income tax in 1913, the politicians naturally couldn’t resist ramping it up. Just look at the monstrosity that exists today in the US tax code, which most Americans passively accept as “normal.” It’s a typical example of giving an inch and taking a mile.

Jeff Thomas: Yes – the key to it is twofold: First, you have to be sensitive as to how quickly you can ramp up taxation, and second, that rate is directly proportional to the level that the public receive largesse from the government. They have to have become highly dependent upon a nanny state and thereby willing to take their whipping from nanny. The greater the dependency, the greater the whipping.

International Man: Homeowners in the US – and most countries – must regularly pay property taxes, which are taxes on property that you supposedly own. Depending on where you live, they can be quite high and never seem to go down. What are your thoughts on the concept of property taxes?

Jeff Thomas: Well, my view would be biased, as my country of citizenship has never, in its 500-year history, had any direct taxation of any kind. The entire concept of direct taxation is therefore anathema to me. It’s easy for me to see, simply by looking around me, that a society operates best when it’s free of taxation and regulation and people have the opportunity to thrive within a free market.

Years ago, I built my first home from my savings alone, which had been sufficient, because my earnings were not purloined by my government. I never paid a penny on a mortgage and I never paid a penny on property tax. So, following the construction of my home, I was able to advance economically very quickly. And of course, I additionally had the knowledge that, unlike most people in the world, I actually owned my own home – I wasn’t in the process of buying it from my bank and/or government.

So, not surprisingly, I regard property tax as being as immoral and as insidious as any other form of direct taxation.

International Man: Not all countries have a property tax. How do they manage?

Jeff Thomas: I think it’s safe to say that political leaders don’t really have any particular concern over whether a tax is applied to income, property, capital gains, inheritance, or any other trumped-up excuse. Their sole concern is to tax.

Taxation is the lifeblood of any government. Once that’s understood, it becomes easier to understand that government is merely a parasite. It takes from the population but doesn’t give back anything that the population couldn’t have provided for itself, generally more efficiently and cheaply.

So, as to how a government can manage without a property tax, we can go back to your comment that the US actually had no permanent income tax until 1913. That means that they accomplished the entire western expansion and the creation of the industrial revolution without such taxation.

So, how was this possible? Well, the government was much smaller. Without major taxes, it could become only so large and dominant. The rest was left to private enterprise. And private enterprise is always more productive than any government can be.

Smaller government is inherently better for any nation. Governments must be kept anemic.

International Man: The Cayman Islands doesn’t have any form of direct taxation. What does that mean exactly?

Jeff Thomas: It means that the driving force behind the country is the private sector. We tend to be very involved in government decisions and, in fact, generate many of the decisions. Laws that I’ve written privately for the Cayman Islands have been adopted by the legislature with no change whatsoever to benefit government. As regards property tax, there are only three countries in the western hemisphere that have no property tax, and not surprisingly, all of them are island nations: The Turks and Caicos Islands, Dominica and the Cayman Islands.

I should mention that the very concept of property ownership without taxation goes beyond the concern for paying an annual fee to a government. Additionally, in times of economic crisis, governments have been known to dramatically increase property taxes. Further, they sometimes announce that your tax was not paid for the year (even if it was) and they confiscate your property as a penalty. This has been done in several countries.

What’s important here is that, with no tax obligation, the government in question is unable to simply raise an existing tax. If you have no reporting obligation, you truly own your property. And you can’t be the victim of a “legal” land-grab.

Instituting a new tax is more difficult than raising an existing one, and instituting any tax in a country where direct taxation has never existed is next to impossible.

International Man: How do Cayman’s tax policies relate to its position as a business-friendly jurisdiction?

Jeff Thomas: Well there are two answers to that. The first is that the Cayman Islands operates under English Common Law, as opposed to Civil Law. That means that as a non-Caymanian, you’re virtually my equal under the law. Your rights of property ownership are equal to mine. Therefore, an overseas investor, even if he never sets foot on Cayman, cannot have his property there taken from him by government, squatters, or any other entity such as can legally do so in many other countries.

The second answer is that, since we’re a small island group, the great majority of business revenue comes from overseas investors. Therefore, our politicians, even if they’re of no better character than politicians in other countries, understand that, if they change a law or create a tax that’s detrimental to foreign investors and depositors, wealth can be removed from Cayman in a keystroke of the computer. Before the ink is dried on the new legislation, billions of dollars can exit, on the knowledge that the legislation is taking place.

Now, our political leaders may not be any more compassionate than those of any other country. Their one concern is that their own bread gets buttered. But should they pass any legislation that’s significantly detrimental to overseas investors, their careers are over. They understand that and recognise that their future depends upon making sure that they understand and cater to investors’ needs.

International Man: Governments everywhere are squeezing their citizens through higher taxes and new taxes. And don’t forget that printing money, which debases the currency, is also a real, but somewhat hidden, tax too.

What do you suggest people do to protect themselves?

Jeff Thomas: Well, the first thing to understand is that many nations of the world grabbed onto the post-war coattails of the United States. The US was going to lead the world, and Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc., all got on board for the big ride to prosperity. They followed all the moves the US made over the decades.

Unfortunately, once they were on board the train, they couldn’t get off. When the US went from being the largest creditor nation to the largest debtor nation, those same countries also got onto the debt heroin.

That big party is coming to an end, and when it does, all countries that are on the train will go over the cliff. So, what that means is that you, as an individual, do not want to be on that train. If you’re a resident of an at-risk country, you want to, first and foremost, liquidate your assets in that country and get the proceeds out. You may leave behind some spending money in a bank account – so that you have the convenience of chequing, ATMs, etc. – and that money should be regarded as sacrificial.

You then would want to move the proceeds to a jurisdiction that’s likely to not only survive the train wreck but prosper as a result of it. Once it’s there, you want to keep it outside of banks and in forms that are difficult to take from you – cash, real estate and precious metals.

After that, if you’re able to do so, it would be wise to also get yourself out before a crash, as the day will come when migration controls will be imposed and it will no longer be legal to exit.

It does take some doing, but if faced with a dramatic change in life, I’d want to be proactive in selecting what was best for me and my family, before the changing socio-economic landscape made that choice for me.

Editor’s Note: Governments everywhere are squeezing their citizens through increased taxation and money printing–which is a hidden tax. This trend will only gain momentum as governments go broke and need more cash.

Most people have no idea what really happens when a currency collapses, let alone how to prepare.

Re: Get rid of the money system, then get rid of goverrments
Money is a communication. We are awash with communication tools.

Goods are found in limited supply, but simply because goods can be said to be scarce... this does not equate to money has to be scarce.

Communication money does need to be true with specific performance of contract being a critical issue.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76322957


My response is aimed at this short sentence: Stupid communist bullshit.

FDR (Roosevelt) not only collectivized the gold coinage of the nation, but went one step further. The credit of the people was claimed to be owned by the government. This was an implementation of the fifth plank of the communist manifesto.

The collectivized credit was assigned to the banks who are now empowered by license to loan your own credit back at interest.

This process which is ongoing is the reason a few elite are buying up the heavy industry, the mines, and the lands until the little guy has small chance of any personal prosperity.

It began with a socialistic theft by act of law writing.

Collectivization of the credit was a matter of identity theft writ large.

The national debt isn't owed to the banks; it is owed to the people from whom it was stolen.
