I've been doing a lot more studying of various principles of finance, law, etc., lately, and I think that my world view is metamorphosing into something different. It appears (to me) that there are people behind some powerful hidden forces working to develop a new structure for society. But at the same time, what other system could actually make modern life possible?
We know that the monetary system does not have any substance, but then again, we also know that there is not enough gold & silver for everyone to have money. From first appearances, the monetary system is based on fraud. But with a closer look, we can see that it is a system of abundance. I've also been studying some concepts and practices on Redemption. I must say that commercial redemption is analogous to spiritual redemption, for commercial redemption is based on religious and spiritual principles. It is amazing to realize that it is all very orderly and structured for us to prosper. Unfortunately, we do not seek out knowledge or try to learn. Most of the pain that is being experienced by people in the system is self-inflicted.
We operate in a commercial system all of our lives, but very few of us ever study commercial principles. This is unacceptable. Most people do not understand the ramifications of their ignorance, nor the critical importance of the foundations of their belief system. It literally determines the conditions and quality of experience for every encounter that you have in your life. Maybe I will talk more about this in the future. But the realization of these truths has somewhat tempered my previous opinions about world news and events. The truth is out there, but most people's minds have been inactivated by mass media mind control techniques. So the audience for this type of message is probably very small. But if you're still reading this, you will probably want to continue your search for truth and facts. The old saying is that "the truth will set you free." It is true.

More Financial Pain Ahead for the Uninformed
Once again, the economy has been trashed more than is being made public. According to the article below, the US government has given away more than $2 TRILLION in bailouts, all without the knowledge of the average American. I'm not surprised at this in the least. As I've been saying all along, this is an orchestrated 'crisis' that is serving a larger purpose.
This 'crisis' was engineered and purposely created in order to create the appearance of chaos in the markets. And, of course, the fatcats are getting billions in profit from these events, while giving the bill to average Americans (and those of other countries as well) to pay. In addition to this, when the markets fail (and they WILL fail), these same fatcats have already moved all of their assets out of the financial markets, and into safer investments. Unfortunately, those remaining in financial assets will see their investments plummet in value. This is the theft, but people have to be perceptive to actually identify the 'sleight-of-hand' theft process. It is subtle in its execution, but the theft is a complete confiscation of the value of the investments that people have made. In short, your $100,000 may still have a nominal value of $100,000, but the purchasing power will probably be closer to $50 once their process is complete.
This may sound incredible, but during the last hyperinflation it was not ridiculous. I will give a brief example. During the Weimar Germany Deutchemark hyperinflation, there were retirees who were living off of the interest from their retirements before the hyperinflation. After (or during) the hyperinflation, people had requested that their retirement checks be mailed to them. The bank said that they could do it, but didn't really wish to do it because--get this--the value of the STAMP that would be required to mail the check to the retiree was more than the value of the check that represented the value of the person's retirement savings! This is what appears to be the plan for the new financial paradigm. Of course, the bankers and other insiders who got out of the game while the money still had value are the ones who have stolen the difference in value of the money. Don't let them steal all of the value you have given over your working years to earn this money!

Battle plan for the 50 states
This is a 2-part article written by Devvy Kidd. It is a very timely article, and I agree with most of it. It is time for people to stand up and fight for our freedom, our financial solvency, and against the destruction of our way of life. I don't think that it is necessary to totally destroy America in order to bring prosperity to the rest of the world. This notion comes from a scarcity mentality.
Wealth is created by thought, and can be destroyed by the same. It would appear to me that the financial oligopoly is only focused on inflicting the maximum financial pain and suffering that they can possibly muster upon the average American. And to add insult to injury, they want us to finance it! We must insure that they do not succeed in their sinister goal.
If we don't act now, there will not be any excuse that will save us. Nobody will care to hear about your whining about how bad things have become. It will be much too late for that. And remember that voting is NOT an act that has enough power to change anything substantial, especially in rigged presidential elections where both candidates are hand-picked corporate flunkies. So act now, or sit down and accept whatever crumbs the oligarchs care to leave you.
Talk to others, spread the word about the lies and corruption in government, stage a sit-in, contact your congressman, meet with like-minded people... Be creative. Take action. We know that the only way that we will be saved is by our own efforts. The people in government are the ones who have been paid to create this situation, so they will NOT be the solution, but will only exacerbate the problems. Get inspired. Turn off that television because it engenders the idea that we can't stop these people. They know that we can stop them if we work together, and this is why they want us to continue to tune in to the inane television shows that are designed to pacify and spread ignorance. We owe it to our children and our own futures to fight for freedom.

Mushroom Cloud over Wall Street as US Constitution Burns :: The Market Oracle :: Financial Markets Analysis & Forecasting Free Website
Mushroom Cloud over Wall Street as US Constitution Burns :: The Market Oracle :: Financial Markets Analysis & Forecasting Free Website
This article tells it like it is in reference to the financial debacle that is upon us. In short, the same people who profited from the 'privatization' and 'deregulation' of the financial industry are the ones who are now begging to be saved from the financial mess that they created themselves, and trying to stick US with the bill! This proposal to give Paulson sweeping power is ludicrous. It would effectively make him the most powerful man in the country--much more powerful than the President or the Supreme Court! How can it possibly be in our best interest to make Paulson the dictator of the country, beyond any legal control??? This is a brazen power grab, and the motivation is to allow Paulson to have the power to saddle the people with any level of debt that he chooses. Of course, this is so that Wall Street can save themselves from the financial quicksand that they have created. Funny how they want to reap all of the profits, and leave the people holding the bag for the liabilities.

"We're Not in Kansas Anymore"
The headlines keep demonstrating to us what we've always known, but were afraid to admit. Present civilization is in a crisis. We can continue with the 'ostrich-buried-head-in-sand' routine, but that's not going to make the problems in society go away. If we don't deal with them, they will deal with us! We will be confronted with the results of our inaction, and they won't be pleasant. Change is always the order of the day, and is the only constant with which we are faced. We can either manage change and possibly profit from it, or we can remain oblivious to it and be forced to deal with whatever changes occur. When change is not managed, it usually injures one much worse than it would have been if we worked for change more in line with beneficial results.
One issue that is related to what we feel is change is the present presidential election facade. Obama, Clinton and McCain are all hand-picked toadies to major corporate interests. There is only illusion of choice so that the comatose masses can go vote and feel like they are in control of things. This is only a sham to keep the peace. In the above referenced article, the author (Devvy Kidd) understands that communism is alive and thriving in America. Contrary to popular opinion, the powers-that-be have conditioned Americans to not only desire communism/communitarianism, but to vehemently demand it. Unfortunately, communism is diametrically opposed to freedom and individual rights. It is a move towards dictatorial power of government(s) over individuals.
The government's only legitimate job is to protect the rights of the people. Governments were instituted BY men and women to protect their rights. Over time, the people lose sight of this, and the people in government become addicted to power and begin to use the cloak of government authority to legitimize their exercise of unauthorized power (called actions under 'color of law' , 'color of authority', etc.). As the people lose understanding of their relationship to government, the power-hungry and corrupt begin to infest government and work together with businesses to gain advantages, and to suppress competition. This has been the case in America, and most other countries. I've spoken on these, and many other similar topics in previous posts. Check the archive to get more in-depth coverage of these topics. We are supposed to believe that those who mention the plutocracy of America are somehow 'conspiracy theorists'. This is just an ad hominem attack on people who don't believe the propaganda that comes from the huge corporate interests that make a fortune by controlling society and profiting from the ignorance of the people. It is much easier to label discerning people as quacks and crackpots than it is to refute the claims that they make. Remember that the ad hominem attack is one of the textbook definitions of a logically flawed argument!
The statistics plainly show that there is an elite that is running society, and that the crises that we're observing in today's world are all being engineered. Their goal is to destroy nations and to consolidate government power over all people. You can see the results. The vast majority of the world is disarmed. Now, most of the people of the world are being subjected to the rationing of food and fuel. This food crisis is being deliberately created to control populations. Travel is strictly controlled. It's almost illegal to have a large sum of money, even if you earned it legally. They do not want you to have any freedom or independence. The noose is tightening around us.
I found another very interesting article that demonstrates that society is at a crossroad. There is a distinct possibility that society is going to collapse, but this is only if we remain on this corporate-created road to destruction. There are options that we have, even though the PTB do not want us to realize them. There are numerous reports of the PTB suppressing 'green' technology and innovations so that they can keep the people beholden to their supply of food and fuel. I have heard of numerous reports of people that could run cars off of water or of engineering cars that could get 100+ miles per gallon. They have also suppressed the miracle hemp plant, which has over 25,000 uses. You should check out the videos on this site and learn more about hemp. It was considered a sacred plant in past civilizations. If we're going to survive these crises, it's not going to be because government helped! The criminal element in government, along with their corporate sponsors, are the ones who are exacerbating the situtation! Don't wait around for help from the government like the Hurricane Katrina victims. The Calvary is NOT coming at the 11th hour. Survival is going to be a 'do-it-yourself' exercise.

Interesting Times
There is an old Chinese platitude that says,"May you live in interesting times." It would appear that this wish has been fulfilled today. With all of the developments going on today, this would have to rate as a time when there is more going on than at any other point in history. Information abounds, especially with the advent of the World Wide Web.
In particular, there is a LOT happening in the financial markets, which is a reflection of the general state of affairs. We are witnessing another major financial incident which is marked by a plethora of financial occurrences. I have spoken on these in previous articles and references. Yes, times will become more pressing and stressful for many, if not all.
In the past, I've droned on and on, ad infinitum (some may think ad nauseum!) about how this is the latest iteration of the dreaded, and historic Great Depression of 1933. Even though this present event will be of similar (or even greater) magnitude, I think that it also offers one of the greatest opportunities for growth, wealth and prosperity! The catch is that you are going to have to develop new ways of thinking and perception to prosper from it.
I often feared that my message could be perceived to be very pessimistic. That was not my intent. In my opinion, it is liberating and exciting to find truth. But it is also very easy to get into the details of finding facts and see that they are painting a picture that can appear to be very grim. Images of 1933 ARE grim. But they say that every cloud has a silver lining. Napoleon Hill says it best, "Every adversity brings with it the seed of a greater benefit." So I've already outlined the reasons behind what we're observing in the financial and government arenas.
We already know that Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke will continue the debasement of the US Dollar. We know that him and his other partners-in-crime will continue to tinker with the US economy, exacerbating our financial decline. We know that Washington D.C. will not balance the budget, or help the country in any meaningful way. We know that they will continue to spend away, fight meaningless wars that are impossible to win, work to destroy the Constitution and our rights along with it, seek to gain more control over our lives, orchestrate more faked 'terrorist' attacks upon us and other people of the world, etc. These things, we know (even if we don't want to admit it).
The way that we will surpass and eclipse all of this stuff is to first realize that we know the above truths. Then, we must realize that we can change our reality by changing our beliefs. The things we have believed in the past have created the present conditions in which we find ourselves. In order to change the effect (the conditions we see), we must change the cause (the thoughts that we've thought in the past).
Today is a new day, and we do not have to be enslaved, exploited, used, abused, duped, tricked, controlled, deceived or any other thing that is negative. The people that will succeed and prosper from this point hence will be the people that leave old, stinking thinking in the past. They will disassociate themselves from the old, failed ways of doing things, and will free their minds to embrace new, innovative ways of doing things. This does NOT mean that we will abandon success principles that have stood the test of time. It DOES mean that we will leave pop psychology, politically-correct platitudes, meaningless drivel and failed ways of interacting in the dust. There is more information out there on success and prosperity than there ever was in history. We must use our powers of discernment to find the successful methods, and then have the courage to employ them for our benefit.
This will be an individual journey for those who choose to embark upon it. Those who will not, or can not change with the times and ride the wave will go down with the old edifices of past power that are now failing before our eyes. It is an individual choice. It is just like a spring cleaning, or a fast. It is a purification of society, and a cleansing of all the crap that we've allowed to fester in ourselves, and in our system of civilization. If we would've cleaned up as we had gone down the road, the magnitude of the present cleaning (with its discomfort that will be experienced) would not be as large as it will be. We only have ourselves to blame for that.
So yes, we will all experience some discomfort. That goes along with the territory. But I think that we will benefit greatly from this experience. But we must remember that nothing worthwhile is easy or painless. So we must go forth with confidence, courage, tenacity, persistence, innovation and principle to navigate our way through the coming times. We must pass the test because our children are depending on us to get this right. We can do this.

Some Information on Suppressed Economics
I'm going to share some articles that deal with macroeconomics and how it interfaces with precious metals/hard assets and the larger investment markets. I won't write my own dissertation, but I will share a bit of commentary and offer some excellent articles that I've found (as usual). I haven't done my normal reading and research on the investment and precious metals lately, but something brought me back to these topics because they are critical if you want to have an understanding of what is really going on in the investment and financial arenas. I found the articles on the Gold Eagle articles web site. It's a site that's mostly for serious investors and academics interested in a different take on the financial world from what is offered on CNBC and other mainstream sources. They usually add articles/editorials from prominent people in the investment and financial arenas, so you may want to bookmark the above link and visit it regularly. You'll catch on to some of the technical jargon if you just look up the words that you don't understand. If you need an explanation, leave me a message or write the author.
Well, the first article is entitled Toilet Paper is Worth More Than USD's. I loved that title, even though it isn't good news for Americans. The basic premise is one that I've been trumpeting for a while. The US Dollar (USD) is being systematically destroyed by the US government. Policies that have been implemented by presidents and governments since LBJ (or even earlier) have all engineered these events. Public policy was implemented that strongly rewarded companies that utilized debt financing in relation to companies that used equity financing for capital investment. It used to be that corporations would use what was termed retained earnings to finance capital expenditures. The term retained earnings is just an MBA way to say savings from profits. But the bankers found that they couldn't earn interest on that, so they had the government agents change the laws to make it extremely unprofitable for corporations/companies to use the savings from operations. Now, virtually all corporations are indebted to (if not actually owned de facto by) the banks. This puts all corporations under the control of the bankers since the creditor is superior in authority to the debtor.
The article in question is brief, but the author gives out a lot of pertinent information on the USD, precious metals, and some of the dynamics of world finance and economics. He doesn't get too deep with the technical language of finance, but imparts the necessary information for laypeople on these issues. I don't claim that you will have a total understanding of finance from the article, but you will have a better understanding of it. Remember that the specialists in topics get paid by confusing laypeople so that they believe that they can't understand the concepts. But economics and finance are issues that ALL people should understand because these are the things that will affect every area of the lives of everyone, whether or not they are active in the financial markets.
The next article speaks more on topics regarding our understanding of the coming credit collapse and the study of monetary issues. We must understand that paper money (a misnomer/oxymoron) is relatively new on the scene in reference to the things that have been used as financial media (i.e., money). As much as I support the gold standard, it probably would not work (in its pure form) due to issues addressed in this article. But this article does give a lot of information that will greatly assist you in your understanding of monetary issues. It is longer than the first article, but I think that you will find it invaluable in increasing your financial intelligence. The author (a professor of science and applied mathematics) also gives an excellent explanation of how the use and function of bonds has been altered so that bonds are now financial instruments that are being used to steal from producers AND savers. This is a very interesting development that turns most mainstream financial theory on its head. I'll leave the rest of the article for you to discover at your leisure.
I'll go over the last 2 articles together as they are both covering similar topics. I found this article to be very succinct and direct. It is a quick, short read. The author gives his honest opinion about the future of the dollar, and the facts all point to the conclusion that there is simply NO WAY that there will not be a significant devaluation of the USD. The fact of the matter is that the USD (as are all other paper currencies on the planet) are all debt instruments. Go retrieve one of those things you call a dollar or currency out of your pocket and read what it says on the very top. It says 'Federal Reserve Note'. I just went to dictionary.com, and it defines a note as: "a paper acknowledging a debt and promising payment." The other pertinent definition states: "a certificate, as of a government or a bank, accepted as money." Notice that neither definition stated that a note is an asset, nor did it actually say that it was money! All this note business notwithstanding, the budget deficits and the trade deficits are wreaking havoc with the US economy, and unfortunately, we are in the terminal stages of the decline and failure of the USD. Just make sure that you understand that those 'talking heads' that you know and love on the television are paid six- and seven-figure salaries to keep you from learning the facts that are being presented in this information that I'm sharing with you! So if/when you wonder or think, "The financial experts on television don't say these things", just know that they are paid not to give out this type of information, even if they know the truth of this material that I'm introducing to you. They'll NEVER level with you!
So read closely, and make sure that you read with an open mind. Don't think of the information as being scary or pessimistic. The part that would be sad is if you had no idea of what the future holds for the financial condition of America, and the world. Would you rather have your head continue to be filled with lies, misconceptions and other drivel? There is power in the truth. The only way that you can prepare for the future is to have an accurate, complete understanding of things. The truth is liberating because it enables you to make effective plans for the future. If you don't know what's really going on in the world, how could you ever make any plans that work? Remember, your family, children and friends (and their future) are depending on you...
Well, the first article is entitled Toilet Paper is Worth More Than USD's. I loved that title, even though it isn't good news for Americans. The basic premise is one that I've been trumpeting for a while. The US Dollar (USD) is being systematically destroyed by the US government. Policies that have been implemented by presidents and governments since LBJ (or even earlier) have all engineered these events. Public policy was implemented that strongly rewarded companies that utilized debt financing in relation to companies that used equity financing for capital investment. It used to be that corporations would use what was termed retained earnings to finance capital expenditures. The term retained earnings is just an MBA way to say savings from profits. But the bankers found that they couldn't earn interest on that, so they had the government agents change the laws to make it extremely unprofitable for corporations/companies to use the savings from operations. Now, virtually all corporations are indebted to (if not actually owned de facto by) the banks. This puts all corporations under the control of the bankers since the creditor is superior in authority to the debtor.
The article in question is brief, but the author gives out a lot of pertinent information on the USD, precious metals, and some of the dynamics of world finance and economics. He doesn't get too deep with the technical language of finance, but imparts the necessary information for laypeople on these issues. I don't claim that you will have a total understanding of finance from the article, but you will have a better understanding of it. Remember that the specialists in topics get paid by confusing laypeople so that they believe that they can't understand the concepts. But economics and finance are issues that ALL people should understand because these are the things that will affect every area of the lives of everyone, whether or not they are active in the financial markets.
The next article speaks more on topics regarding our understanding of the coming credit collapse and the study of monetary issues. We must understand that paper money (a misnomer/oxymoron) is relatively new on the scene in reference to the things that have been used as financial media (i.e., money). As much as I support the gold standard, it probably would not work (in its pure form) due to issues addressed in this article. But this article does give a lot of information that will greatly assist you in your understanding of monetary issues. It is longer than the first article, but I think that you will find it invaluable in increasing your financial intelligence. The author (a professor of science and applied mathematics) also gives an excellent explanation of how the use and function of bonds has been altered so that bonds are now financial instruments that are being used to steal from producers AND savers. This is a very interesting development that turns most mainstream financial theory on its head. I'll leave the rest of the article for you to discover at your leisure.
I'll go over the last 2 articles together as they are both covering similar topics. I found this article to be very succinct and direct. It is a quick, short read. The author gives his honest opinion about the future of the dollar, and the facts all point to the conclusion that there is simply NO WAY that there will not be a significant devaluation of the USD. The fact of the matter is that the USD (as are all other paper currencies on the planet) are all debt instruments. Go retrieve one of those things you call a dollar or currency out of your pocket and read what it says on the very top. It says 'Federal Reserve Note'. I just went to dictionary.com, and it defines a note as: "a paper acknowledging a debt and promising payment." The other pertinent definition states: "a certificate, as of a government or a bank, accepted as money." Notice that neither definition stated that a note is an asset, nor did it actually say that it was money! All this note business notwithstanding, the budget deficits and the trade deficits are wreaking havoc with the US economy, and unfortunately, we are in the terminal stages of the decline and failure of the USD. Just make sure that you understand that those 'talking heads' that you know and love on the television are paid six- and seven-figure salaries to keep you from learning the facts that are being presented in this information that I'm sharing with you! So if/when you wonder or think, "The financial experts on television don't say these things", just know that they are paid not to give out this type of information, even if they know the truth of this material that I'm introducing to you.

It's not a pretty picture...
I found an article dealing with the financial picture here in America. It's not looking so good for the country, regardless of how you are doing as an individual. I suspect that most people are being squeezed by the banks and other corporations out there. Remember that your alleged governments (at all levels) have all been incorporated. So they are victimizing the entire country, better known as 'We the People'. In addition, there is a high danger that bank accounts and other investment vehicles could be seized or effectively nullified by your friends in government. I'm just trying to get you to wake up and realize what your options are before it is too late. Wake up while there is still time! The time to prepare for something is before it happens. When it is obvious to the average person that danger is near, it is much too late to prepare for it. But the wise person studies a situation and prepares for it ahead of time. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you will thank me later if I am right. I really hope that I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like it.

The Housing Bubble
We've been so concerned and preoccupied with the 'terrorists' and things of that nature that most have probably forgotten about the huge housing market bubble that has been lingering on for quite some time. It has not gone away, and is still a great threat to the stability and long-term viability of the American economy. We are being inundated with debt, to get straight to the point. I won't go into any long dissertations about economic theory and the Austrian School of Economics, but I will say that the present course we are on is in no way sustainable. Do your research. Do NOT just bury your head in the sand, lest you become swept away by the economic tsunami that is rapidly approaching! Check out the financial site that I have in the Links list on my homepage here (Gold Eagle Editorials). The truth is out there...
