Save The Children

January 30, 2005 | General

To most, the obvious difference between the rich and powerful to all other classes is the accumulation of wealth. I dare say that we, as a whole, think not beyond one dimension and are incapable of seeing the most apparent, though it is right in front of us.

 

Before I go any further let me define rich and powerful. Bill Gates is a man with a lot of money but he is not in the class of the people of who I am speaking. I worked for a man who was a billionaire before most understood the concept of billionaire. He had the ear and confidence of heads of state, yet he realized that he was not among the very rich and very powerful. Those who are among this class control governments through manipulation of currency. “Give me control over a nations currency and I care not who makes its laws.” – Mayer Amschel Rothschild 1743-1812

 

You and I, as parents, raise our children to be respectful, educated, and caring for family, friends and neighbors. Hopefully we hand to them a sense of duty to improve the next generation. It is not always out of a profound regard for the next person but the reality that creating a better life for all in society is passed along to us in many ways. Lower crime, reduced taxes, rich art and a general enhancement of life and community come to us if we extend a helping hand. It is a logical outgrowth of prosperity for all and gives us a sense of belonging that extends beyond the pale of an ordinary life.

 

There is a small segment of the world community that does not always live by a code that favors a kind light toward all of humanity; they are the very rich and very powerful. Their children are the progenitor of a philosophy carried on from one insidious generation to the next. Outward appearances aside, they are not taught the value of giving other than to create followers who are corrupted by the pittance they receive. The truly powerful have little regard for those outside their select group. The poor represent a means to attain a goal rather than people who need to be lifted from a desperate situation so that they may become contributors rather than a burden.

 

Crisis, poverty and desperation represent opportunities to promote the agenda of the powerful. While we see distress as a human tragedy they see an opening to pass more taxes, restrictive laws and garner more control rather than a chance to better the circumstance. It is always done in the name of charity but as history has shown us taxes are simply a means by which the powerful extend control on the very core of our lives and most certainly laws will be passed outside the guidelines of constitutional authority.

 

While some of us were sleeping, an agenda was in progress. The designers were well aware of the magnitude of the enterprise but were undaunted by time. That they would be gone long before they completed their plan to totally dominate the monetary system was of little concern. It took years of fighting to crack the banking system here in America. Diligence and patience is key to achieving such a goal. The architects of such a plan understood that their children would carry-on in their name.

 

They protected their heirs by passing along power and wealth well beyond the comprehension of the common man. They instilled in their children a malevolent contempt for the lesser members of society, which includes most of the world population. Their children would hold the key to the completion of their parent’s wishes.

 

Today we have a monetary system presided over by the great grand children of families such as Rockefeller, Rothschild, Morgan and Goldman just to name a few. They are ever expanding the grasp they possess on our freedom. You are to them as your fathers and mothers were to their parents. The progeny of the rich and powerful continue to use our shortcomings to keep us in check. We are by nature peaceful people “more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable…” Few would abide open revolution to right the wrongs imposed by government. We are also prone to corruption, thereby allowing manipulation of a segment of society who would willingly sell out their fellow man to attain some small amount of wealth and power. Any meeting at any local township government will open your eyes. Those who run your municipality seldom if ever abide by the rule of law.

 

Among our most notable faults is a failure to grasp the truth and face reality. “This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private,” reads the face of a Federal Reserve Note. It does not state that the note is fair exchange for all goods and services. It does not state that it may be redeemed for gold, silver or some other commodity of standard value. This is because it is backed solely by the government’s ability to tax and the creation of debt. Since we must use an ever-expanding number of those ‘notes’ to purchase goods and services they are of little value.

 

What difference does this little definition on the ‘note’ matter? The answer to that question lies in our understanding of the current economic condition and banking agenda. We must recognize that this nation is steeped in debt; the public debt is so far into the trillions that many economists gave up guessing at Forty Trillion. The private sector is in such bad shape that we need to compile more debt just to keep the machine going. Stocks selling at sixty and seventy times earnings are considered a good investment. Manufacturers and suppliers must continue to move their product purely based on the most attractive loan rates they can contrive. Mergers and Acquisitions are a booming industry and have been for some time because those involved are playing the generally accepted accounting principals game. Money is created from thin air, allowing banks to lend and lend until they have devalued real property to just pennies of its actual rate.

 

But I can sell my house for Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars and I only paid Two-Hundred Thousand just a few years ago. This is likely true but with every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, you must pay more taxes, more to run your home and when you decide to sell you will certainly be paying more for your next piece of property.

 

For hundreds of year’s property values and incomes remained relatively stable. Millionaires were few and far between as opposed to today when many claim this title based on pure inflation. The reason for this was that the economy was based on reality and commodities such as gold and silver backed the currency. Goods and services were exchanged at an equitable rate. I will give you 10 bushels of corn for 8 chickens as opposed to; I can re-organize this company by closing this division and downsizing thereby creating excess capital of so many millions.

 

I am a capitalist but to me that represents the production of goods and services not manipulation of a fictitious ‘legal tender.’ Granted, the dismantling and downsizing of corporations is free enterprise but it is simply a manipulation of the money supply. Capitalism represents enterprise in an unencumbered economic environment where producers vie for their market share with genius and hard work. We are successful because we have produced a better product, not because our financial department has outmaneuvered the other guy.

 

Some people call this good business but I call it a disaster waiting to happen. The people who are sold on this form of enterprise cannot see beyond their limited scope. They will continue to move a dollar here and create two dollars there. If you ask them what part of the government the Federal Reserve is they will look away and change the conversation to the latest home run leader, that is if they don’t ridicule you for not knowing the current thinking view on economics. These people have their little area of heaven here on earth and they are not going to give it up because it might render a better life for generations to come.

 

At what point does this manipulation of the economy end? Will it be when we have completely decimated the value of our currency? Or perhaps when the money brokers have complete control over our lives? “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” We will be in this predicament as long as we continue to have those who are willing to play the game for their own benefit. It is not capitalism it is conspiracy to commit fraud.

 

It ends when each of us, mothers and fathers, sit down and reconcile the future of our children. We became a nation of ‘me first’ with little regard for generations to come. Yes there are plenty of feel good organizations out there with a lot of weepy people pleading for the underdog. Truth be told, many organizations simply do not perform in the capacity they preach. Members of these organizations make a healthy living from contributions while just a few pennies make it to those in need.

 

In today’s society more children are choosing to live at home with their parents rather than move on their own. In some instances it is because the children understand that they can live a very healthy lifestyle under their parents roof. They need not contribute and they carry on the ‘me first’ philosophy handed to them. In some instances, tradition and family values keep them at home. I would also venture to say that if you examine current living cost figures, you will conclude that most of our children would not be able to manage on their own and certainly that the one income family is a thing of the past.

 

We live under a banner of self-imposed slavery that none but the brave few will admit. Our parents imposed this problem on us as we have selected to impose this encumbrance upon our children. On each dollar that we earn and use for survival is excised at least a sixty-percent tax. We earn a dollar that is taxed and the incidence of that tax is passed along to us in an inflated price of our product or service, it is a never-ending cycle of devaluation and inflation.

 

Mathematics is irrefutable. There is no algorithm that can be contrived for the derivation of Federal Reserve notes, the incurring debt and the forced taxation, which this system imposes.

 

As parents we teach our children to live within this system rather than fight the corruption. After all, “You can’t fight city hall.”

 

But the parents of the rich and powerful teach their children a very different agenda; they are the decision makers, they are the rightful heirs to the world’s power and resources, including you and your children.
