Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage Introduces Exchange Local Money (ELM)

“Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage is an intentional community dedicated to living sustainably. We are located on 280 acres of beautiful Missouri rolling hills, purchased by our land trust in 1997. Our land includes six ponds and a small creek that runs much of the year. We have 40 acres in woodland plus 30 acres where we have planted over 12,000 trees as part of our restoration efforts. We are housed in a variety of living arrangements, adhere to many different diets, and work on varied projects. Our community is flexible enough to include egalitarian and co-housing communities, and individual households. Building styles here range from Natural building and Green building all the way to more conventional construction methods.” (snip) … http://www.dancingrabbit.org/about-dancing-rabbit-ecovillage/press/press-kit 


The Dancing Rabbit Mission Statement reads "To create a society, the size of a small town or village, made up of individuals and communities of various sizes and social structures, which allows and encourages its members to live sustainably.” It follows that the Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage would welcome the launch of a usury free, local currency."


Local Currency

 Here at Dancing Rabbit we have a local currency system called the Exchange Local Money (ELM) system. Almost everyone here has an ELM account, and we can buy almost anything we want with it, including all of our daily living expenses. The ELM system also gives us a mechanism for gathering money to use on projects that help our community develop and thrive. The ELM system is a modified version of a LETS (Local Exchange Trading System), a general term for locally-initiated, democratically-organized, not-for-profit community enterprises that provide a community information service and record transactions of members exchanging goods and services. The term LETS originated in 1983 by Michael Linton. You can read the Wikipedia article about LETS for more information. ELM balances are tracked in a database that’s accessible through an online interface. Users can log in to see their balances, view a list of goods and services being offered, and make exchanges.


How the ELM System Works

Our daily interactions with the ELM system are very simple. It works a lot like PayPal, but without the fees. Similar to PayPal or any other bank account, ELMs go into your account when other people send them from their own accounts. ELMs leave your account when you send them to other people in the system. The more you acquire, the more you have to spend. Organizations and businesses like accepting ELMs for payment because the online database keeps a record of exchanges in real time, which is an excellent way to double-check bookkeeping. Having a convenient online system also encourages people to pay promptly. People can use the local currency to pay all of their living expenses as well as many luxuries. Housing, transportation, food, telephone, laundry, photocopies, beer, coffee, showers, massages and much more are all available from ELM-accepting businesses and co-ops.

 The key to understanding how the ELM system works is to start with the concept that everyone starts with zero ELMs.  Every time a transaction occurs between two accounts, one account goes down and the other goes up by the exact same amount.  The total number of positive ELMs in all accounts is always equal to the total number of negative ELMs in all accounts. Currently, individuals are not permitted to have negative account balances. Some community organizations are permitted to carry negative balances, with feedback and oversight by the ELM-using community and ELMs committee.  In some ways, a negative balance allowance is like a loan or line of credit. It means that we as a community give these organizations the right to use ELMs before they’ve accumulated them. Unlike a loan or line of credit, though, there’s no penalty or interest for having a negative balance for any length of time.

We do screen requests for negative balance allowances so that we only give them to organizations shown to be performing well financially. The only businesses allowed to hold negative balances are those which buy goods from outside the community with dollars and sell them within the community for ELMs. The account balances and transaction histories of all organizations and businesses that have negative balance allowances are public information for all ELM users to see.

What’s Sustainable about Local Currency

 ELM is different from a bank account in that when we put money in, we are not giving it to the bank to invest as it sees fit.  Instead we are giving it to our own community to invest in infrastructure that will benefit us, our community, and the projects and causes we believe in. In other words, the more people who hold positive ELM balances and the higher those balances are, the more money we have to collectively invest in our community infrastructure and institutions. Another benefit of local currency in general, and ELM in particular, is that the convenience of using ELMs encourages us to shop locally, which is good for our environment and our local and internal economies. By maintaining and using the ELM system we enable ourselves to fund projects that will make our demonstration village more viable and more effective in its mission to show the world one great way to live within our ecological means.” (snip) …

Greece develops cashless, Euro-free currency in tight economy

By John Henley - The Guardian
Friday, March 16, 2012

"A determination to ‘move beyond anger to creativity’ is driving a strong barter economy in some places

In recent weeks, Theodoros Mavridis has bought fresh eggs, tsipourou (the local brandy: beware), fruit, olives, olive oil, jam, and soap. He has also had some legal advice, and enjoyed the services of an accountant to help fill in his tax return.

None of it has cost him a euro, because he had previously done a spot of electrical work – repairing a TV, sorting out a dodgy light – for some of the 800-odd members of a fast-growing exchange network in the port town of Volos, midway between Athens and Thessaloniki.

In return for his expert labour, Mavridis received a number of Local Alternative Units (known as tems in Greek) in his online network account. In return for the eggs, olive oil, tax advice and the rest, he transferred tems into other people’s accounts.

“It’s an easier, more direct way of exchanging goods and services,” said Bernhardt Koppold, a German-born homeopathist and acupuncturist in Volos who is an active member of the network. “It’s also a way of showing practical solidarity – of building relationships.”

He had just treated Maria McCarthy, an English teacher who has lived and worked in the town for 20 years. The consultation was her first tem transaction, and she used one of the vouchers available for people who haven’t yet, or can’t, set up an online account.

“I already exchange directly with a couple of families, mainly English teaching for babysitting, and this is a great way to extend that,” said McCarthy. “This is still young, but it’s growing very quickly. Plainly, the more you use it the more useful to you it gets.”

Tems has been up and running for barely 18 months, said Maria Choupis, one of its founder members. Prompted by ever more swingeing salary cuts and tax increases, she reckons there are now around 15 such networks active around Greece, and more planned. “They are as much social structures as economic ones,” she said. “They foster intimacy and mutual support.”

The network is currently busy transforming a disused building owned by Volos university into a permanent exchange and barter space. It will host a daily market from next month at which members can meet and exchange without using cash. Several highly successful open-air markets were held throughout last summer, Choupis said, until the weather got too cold.

“They’re quite joyous occasions,” she said. “It’s very liberating, not using money.” At one market, she said, she approached a woman who had come along with three large trays of homemade cakes and was selling them for a unit a cake. “I asked her: ‘Do you think that’s enough? After all, you had the cost of the ingredients, the electricity to cook …’

“She replied: ‘Wait until the market is over’, and at the end she had three different kinds of fruit, two one-litre bottles of olive oil, soaps, beans, a dozen eggs and a whole lot of yoghurt. ‘If I had bought all this at the supermarket,’ she said, ‘it would have cost me a great deal more than what it cost to make these cakes.’”

What rules the system has are designed to ensure the tems continue “to circulate, and work hard as a currency”, said Christos Pappionannou, a mechanical engineer who runs the network’s website using open-source software.

No one may hold more than 1,200 tems in the account “so people don’t start hoarding; once you reach the top limit you have to start using them.”

And no one may owe more than 300, so people “can’t get into debt, and have to start offering something”.

Businesses that are part of the network are allowed to do transactions partly in tems, and partly in euros; most offer a 50/50 part-exchange.

“We recognise that they have their fixed costs, they have to pay a rent and bills in euros,” said Pappionannou. “You could say that their ‘profit’ might be taken in Tems, to be reinvested in the network.”

Choupis said she thought the network would have grown even faster that it has if people were not so “frozen, in a state of fear. It’s like they’ve been hit over the head with a brick; they’re dizzy. And they’re cautious; they’re still thinking: ‘I need euros, how am I going to pay my bills?’ But as soon as people see how much they can do without money, they’re convinced.”

The Greek parliament recently passed a law encouraging “alternative forms of entrepreneurship and local development”, including exchange networks such as Volos’s, giving them official non-profit status for tax purposes.

Choupis said there was a new mood abroad in Greece, a determination to “move beyond anger to creativity”.

“You are not poor when you have no money,” she said, “you are poor when you have nothing to offer – except for the elderly and the sick, to whom we should all be offering.” (snip) ...

Step by Step Jubilee Plan

By Wayne Walton

Subtitled: "Make it happen where you live with your neighbors."

Central Bankers are the only industry which can INVENT their own product. With this awesome power, they have enslaved the world in usury which is impossible to pay as more money is always owed than what exists in circulation. This usury fraud occurs on gold, silver, paper, or digital money. This is why usury is warned of 15x in the Bible. Usury = debt Ponzi

Our “banker owners” enslave us by harnessing our energy through the monetary system. They can purchase the largest company on Wall Street by clicking a mouse, and borrowing that money into circulation. Central bankers can do this not with THEIR energy, but with ours. This is PARASITISM.

This awesome money power must be distributed locally, organically, and returned to the People to liberate them, NOT enslave them as it does now. On a $100k mortgage, the parasitical banker makes $250k; but the producer, builder makes $40k.

All this in a scheme where it is IMPOSSIBLE for all borrowers to pay their mortgages. As the banker invented the funds at the closing table, they are into profit after the first payment. The bankers engage in fraud on ALL mortgages.

How do we fix this? The Non Aggression Principle is key.

Create 1000’s of local currencies issued debt free based on time unit of value as Ithaca, NY has had for 20 years. “Time is money” and is a precious commodity that even the poor have, and not manipulated by the elite.

Energize that money by usury free financing of organic water, food, shelter, energy, and transportation.

Hire/elect/pay a sheriff, and Grand Jury to end income/property taxes/foreclosures/victimless crimes.

Broadcast each communities’ activism of this initiative on a single internet, subscription TV channel: truVibe.TV. Allow the People to promote, and earn income by selling subscriptions as a way to put people back to work! Subscribers vote to promote the best activists, communicators, and tactics to promote debt free public money. All domains and business are non-profit and held in the truly public domain.
Affect the Universal Biblical, Debt Jubilee where all debts, credit reports, and victimless crimes are forgiven.

Guarantee all existing pensions, and benefits for those caught in the bankers dependence web.

Offer forgiveness, and protection for all whiste blowers, and “evil doers” who repent, and name names.

Offer compassion to a frightened Smiegel who has his finger on the button to WWIII.

By removing our energy from the private bankers systems we empower ourselves, and fundamentally change the top down, pyramid power structure to an upward facing “V” for victory. THIS is a true revolution where the People take their power back, and keep it forever. Then they have a big party!

The cost? By removing the parasite from the necks, the People will have INSTANT, POWERFUL, economic recovery, with strong demand on wages. They do this by merely changing the color of paper(money) with which they trade.

Peaceful, direct, non-violent, moral action with direct self-responsibility is what will change the world to a better place. Many will wish to remain in the Matrix, and that is there choice. However, we will have abundance, hope, fun, joy, enlightenment, better education/entertainment/spritituality, and community.

Wayne Walton Writes About His Awakening

NOTE: I like the honesty that is evident in this "Note" from Wayne Walton's Facebook page. Wayne's self-imposed re-education has earned him the highest degree ever awarded to a novice "usuryfree creative." Welcome aboard Wayne, to our local and global mission of creating a usuryfree lifestyle for everyone on this planet. There was "Life Without Usury" previously and there will be "Life Without Usury" again in the not-too-distant future.

Subtitled:

Why are you an interest abolitionist? AKA: Interest/usury/fraud=slavery

"Who, what, when, where, how, and why? Who: I'm a 47 year old guy named Wayne Walton. Let me quickly tell you about me. But, please understand this story is about YOU. Be patient. I will reveal information to you which only 1 in 100,000 understand. The information which is the central cause of our enslavement. This information is PURPOSELY with-held by YOUR favorite "truth teller".

I grew up in a middle-class, 3 generation Navy family in Pennsylvania. I unfortunately, voted Republican my whole life including McCain/Palin. I have a degree in History of University of South Florida with a focus on Civil War, and WWII. I have never taken a dime of public money except for a very brief time in the Marines.

I have been a 25 year pool contractor who likes to get dirty, and play team, running sports. Unfortunately, I was also very wicked. I wanted to kill for my country for really no reason. 10 years of my life were spent being hedonistic, with 2 divorces, abortions, and 2 DUI's to match. I engaged in conduct which would make Charlie Sheen blush. I went through foreclosure, bankruptcy and monsterous lack of responsibility.

Finally, I fought back and regained financial stability. After the 2008 bailouts, I did a deep investigation as to the REAL power structure in the world. Once enlightened, AND reborn, I moved into a trailer, and built a survival property. Now, I am a monetary reform activist. I am a usury abolitionist.

"There is an education we receive, and another we give ourselves."

My hope is that you will allow me to be your "truth teller" so that I might reveal information about the root cause of the destruction of the planet, and human race. What: The problem, and the solution. The world has been at perpetual war, hunger, and hate for a very long time. The slaves have been taught to blame the other slaves for their enslavement, by design by the slave owners.

"Divide and conquer" is the strategy employed by Pharoah to build pyramids, Great Britain to rule India, and the central bankers to build bank buildings and Presidential libraries. We live under the most sophisticated, innovated tyranny in human history.

We are "free range" slaves. Have you ever noticed that war never ends for lack of funding? Have you noticed that there is virtually no "peace songs" on the radio despite widespread wish for peace in a supposidly "Christian" nation. Why is it that the "Christians" lust for war, hate, and killing the MOST?

Whoever controls the monetary system of any society is the real government. Forget the fancy building, and "illusions" of power as those are all just banker's propaganda. Elections are there to give us the illusion of freedom. The "money changers" are the real power behind the throne. It matters not if the throne is occupied by a king, queen, democracy, constitutional republic, socialist, fascist, or even anarchy.

We live in a two party, Zionist, fascist, international bank dictatorship called the New World Order. Don't believe me? It's written right on the back of a buck ever since the US was bankrupted on a gold, silver money system in 1933. When any entity is in bankruptcy, the creditor makes all the big decisions.

The TV's job is to get you to pick a team in a no win game. The TV's job is to sell you bankers' phony candidates, to solve bankers' engineered problems, with bankers' phony solutions. Why are bankers so powerful? Only bankers can INVENT their product. An "evil oil" company must produce a product. A central banker can purchase the most powerful oil company on Wall Street with the click of a mouse. The banker does this not with his OWN commercial energy. He parasitically harnesses the energy of the People through the monetary system. With this tyrannic power bankers own the world.

The "money changers" have acquired this power with mathematic certainty by offering loans with very low rates. No matter what the rate of interest, the loans are not possible to pay by all borrowers. Even with 1% charged on gold/silver the "money changers" can confiscate the world.

The ROOT cause of the world's economics problems is the mathematic fraud of usury, or interest. Inerest/usury charged on a loan has a 100% chance of creating a victim just like a Ponzi. Usury, interest just has much better PR. Usury USED to be punishable by death just like all theft.

All religions USED TO forbid USURY to be perped on their OWN people. It is NOT only my opinion, it is mathematic fact which can be proven with 3rd grade math. This simple lie is the "source code bug" in our economic system. It is the original sin which institutionally finances all the others. Our entire society is based on this fraud.

What exactly is the fraud? One cannot pay what does not exist. When money is loaned, only the PRINCIPLE is in circulation, or created. The INTEREST money is NOT created, and therefore impossible to pay. Most borrowers WILL be able to pay. However, at least one borrower will NOT be able to pay no matter how hard they work.

Again, one cannot pay what does not exist. The interest rate, amount borrowed, currency backing, or good intentions of the lender, and borrower do NOT matter. In fact, both the borrower, and the lender willingly engage in this contract, and think they have done a good thing. Unfortunately, the borrower is promising to do the impossible for ALL borrowers.

Usury/interest is a game of musical chairs, and someone will be left without a chair. People without chairs are called homeless, bankrupt, hungry. Governments without chairs are called bankrupt, and no longer sovereign. If NO governments, or banks existed on the planet, usury would still destroy. If all the money in the world was distributed equally among the People of the planet, usury would still destroy. The "money changers" who loan money with interest would slowly aquire all the wealth over time with mathematic certainty.

In order for mankind to have abundance, she must REJECT usury. Fortunately, another lending compensation system is available which creates sufficient money to pay the outstanding debt. With a POINTS ONLY lending system, an equal amount of money is created to the amount of debt owed.

Let me repeat. An equal amount of money is created to the amount of debt owed. Let me repeat again. An equal amount of money is created to the amount of debt owed. Say it to yourself "An equal amount of money is created to the amount of debt owed". You have just learned an economic lesson that baffles Ivy League PHD's.

Having sufficient money to pay the outstanding debt is a pretty simple concept. What is the difference between points, and interest? Both are just a percentage charged on money loaned. Simply put, one is sustainable, and one is not. A POINTS ONLY system creates sufficient money to pay the outstanding debt owed. This makes the lending compensation system sustainable, and not parasitic. The points necessary for bank profitability will be determined by the market.

We can create a system which provides abundance. We are not against banking, lending, money, competition, free markets, or responsible borrowing. Usury based lending is completely irrisponsible as it always creates a victim. We must replace both MONEY CREATION, and MONEY LENDING when they are borrowed with interest.

Currently, our money is created as a debt with usury. Our money says Federal Reserve NOTE. A note is a promissory NOTE. This is a promise to pay. Unfortunately, one cannot promise to pay what does not exist. The INTEREST on the loan does not exist. Once we use a sustainable loan system where equal money and debt is created we will have abundance.

We will have more money, more banking, more lending, and more prosperity. However, foreclosures will still occur. People will still be irresponsible. However, the institutionalized theft through color of law will not occur. All the borrowers will have an honest chance to pay their debts. How can we make this happen without relying on a corrupt vote, or phony bankers' savior?

We will NOT find a solution, or leader on the TV as they PROTECT THE LIE of usury. Whether the phony "truth tellers" on TV are paid shills, or simply ignorant is no matter. In either case, they are not fit to lead. They help the slavemasters enslave the People in perpetual war, want, and hate.

So WHAT can be done? We have a globalist problem, we need an organic solution. Local currency issued, and loaned USURY FREE is essential. Ithaca, NY has had a local currency issued, and loaned interest free for 20 years. If each county across the country were to do this ASAP we can very quickly change the world.

2012 will be known as the greatest year in human history as the ROOT PROBLEM of our economic system will be understood. Mothers who don't want their children to be drafted into bankers engineered WWIII will take action. Fathers, will finally turn off the game, and teach their sons about the fraud of usury. Mothers will turn off the Kardashians, and Idol and do the same. REPEAT women, and men will learn to teach others about the FRAUD of usury. REPEAT women, and men will learn to teach others the FRAUD of usury.

Why will the People take some time to focus on boring economics? Maybe, they finally become mad that every "truth teller" that they listen to is a "keeper of the lie of usury". The People will finally get wise to the grand conspiracy which has kept them and their children in a sea of deception. Adults will GROW UP because, they love their families, and children. They will finally be ADULTS who focus on the specific SOURCE PROBLEM, and not the symptoms.

Free, grown men, and women will stop demanding saviors like helpless children. Free, grown men, and women will NOT ask permission to do the right thing. Free, grown men, and women will stop complaining, whining, and telling OTHERS what to do. Free, grown men, and women will become responsible adults who SOLVE PROBLEMS.

The People will become doers, instead of talkers. How will we make this information become a movement?

By making a 2012 New Year's Resolution! "I will learn about usury, and interest and understand how it is a fraud regardless of rate, currency backing, good intentions of the borrower, and lender. I will then teach a minimum of 10 of my friends, family, or neighbors. I will turn off the TV, and stop listening to the "protectors of the lie".

I will take action so that my family and society does NOT accept the theft, accept which occurs because of the lie. I will personally email, and repeatedly post information on my social networks to expose the big lie. I will go to theRedPillRadio.com and subscribe to learn how Summit County, CO will soon have a new local currency and follow the progress"

For extra credit to really make yourself, and your mother proud. Please do this. Get with your neighbors and start your own local currency. Friend Wayne Walton, and go to mtnHours.com to learn how to start a local currency issued without INTEREST.

Together, we will change our world by simply changing the color of our money. We will finally take our power back, and keep it. We will do this peacefully, morally, and courageously. Through this entire process of enlightenment we will become "super humans" (snip) ...

AE911Truth Tour of Canada

Formal Appeal for Real WTC Investigation to be Accompanied by AE911Truth Tour of Canada

By Wayne Coste

An unprecedented and potentially powerful Canadian Initiative is entering a new phase that brings Canada one step closer to re-investigating the events at the World Trade Center on 9/11.

First Steps Completed

On November 11, 2011, the petition for a parliamentary review of the destruction of the three WTC skyscrapers on 9/11 was submitted to the Government of Canada by members of the Canadian 9/11 truth movement. The petition will soon be formally read in Parliament.

It was signed by 1,405 Canadians, and under long standing protocols, a formal response is required within 45 days.

The petition includes specific points of evidence that must be evaluated and addressed in its response. It specifically asks several pointed questions about a range of evidence that has been assembled and validated by the 1,600 strong Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth

The forensic evidence includes, but is not limited to:
• Total destruction of all three WTC skyscrapers with pulverization of concrete floors – proceeding symmetrically through the
path of the greatest resistance – at nearly free-fall acceleration;
• Several tons of molten iron/steel found in the debris piles of all 3 high-rises and billions of previously molten iron microspheres in the WTC dust;
• Nano-thermite composite incendiaries discovered throughout the WTC dust;
• The DVD entitled: “9/11: Blueprint for Truth” by AE911Truth;
• The peer-reviewed paper Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe, by
Niels H. Harrit, et al. posted at the Bentham Open Chemical Physics Journal.”

One of the compelling reasons for bringing this petition to the Canadian Government is the death of 24 Canadian citizens on 9/11. While the deaths of the victims in the Twin Towers have been attributed to a fire-induced collapse, the evidence indicates that these buildings were actually destroyed by pre-planted highly energetic incendiaries and explosives.

The petition also explains that Canadian authorities must launch a new investigation because “Canada, now being a partner with the United States of America in the Global War of Terror, therefore has a responsibility to verify the findings of the United States of America 9/11 Commission Report before committing our military and other resources to the conflict.”

As with many other initiatives, the role of AE911Truth in the project is to be available for technical support and to attract publicity via an eight-city speaking tour of Canada – in accordance with our stated mission “to research, compile, and disseminate scientific evidence relative to the destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers, calling for a truly open and independent investigation and supporting others in the pursuit of justice.”

The Process

This petition project will be followed through the governmental review process using the Access To Information and Privacy (ATIP) system, which is Canada’s Equivalent of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This way, the public can find out if any violations of trust have occurred. If these tools are organized properly, this process could provide a unique and effective way to investigate the WTC catastrophe.

Next Steps

Our next steps include a variety of outreach activities, including screenings of the upcoming “9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out” and “9/11: Blueprint for Truth” (both English and French versions). Volunteers are currently being sought for these outreach activities, as well as the upcoming Canada tour.

The event dates for the Canada Tour are as follows:
• Vancouver, BC March 24th – Denman Theatre
• Victoria, BC - March 26th - Venue TBA
• Calgary, AB - March 28th - Venue TBA
• Edmonton, AB - March 30th - Venue TBA
• Winnipeg, MB - March 31st – University of Winnepeg
• Ottawa, ON - April 2nd - Bronson Hall
• Toronto, ON - April 3rd - Venue TBA
• Moncton, NB - April 4th - Capital Theatre
• Somewhere NS - April 5th
• Montreal, QC - April 7th - Venue TBA
More details will be provided in the March issue of the Blueprint Newsletter.

Understand that the Banking System is One

by Anthony Migchels

Far too much energy is wasted on analyzing the banking system to death. The key to understanding its machinations is seeing that it is one global system, controlled and directed from the top down. Shifting blame from Government to Central Banks to Wall Street is just a distraction.

Endless analyses of exactly who is to blame for what is filling the columns of both the mainstream- and alternative media. Is it Wall Street, the Central Banks, derivatives, politicians, economists, greed?

This article by the Daily Bell is a typical example. In the article the Daily Bell correctly analyzes that the Central Banks are trying to generate a world wide depression. However, they present the Central Banks as a statist operation, messing up the operations of free market players, which would be the banks.

The problem with this is, that the Central Banks and the commercial banks are owned by the same people.

The banking system must be seen as a whole. It includes all the Central Banks, all major commercial banks, BIS, the academic world 'studying' economics and finance and the financial press.

The Daily Bell is right to say that they are engineering a depression. They are wrong to suggest that the CB's are responsible for this while the banks are not. Yes the banks are on the receiving end of the CB's, but they're all just mere links in the chain of command and control.

Central Banks were created by the banking community as lenders of last resort because they went bust so often. They needed the CB's to maintain a certain stability within the system, otherwise they would not have been able to maintain their monopoly on currency.

Nowadays CB's are all powerful financial juggernauts allowing the Money Power full control always. They don't care about some of their banks going bust occasionally, because they are just the vehicles dividing the market among them. Their market control remains 100%.

When the CB's do things to hurt creditors (the big banks) they do so to damage their balances and their ability to lend. In this way the illusion of real forces creating a depression is created. It's the same thing with the BIS raising capital reserve requirements. They know this means depression, but their sell is 'stability'. The instability they created by purposefully allowing the banks to leverage ever more only a decade ago is conveniently forgotten by well paid academics and journalists who most people think are on the lookout for these kind of things.

Stagflation is easily created by combining the deflationary bust with rising prices for commodities through speculation. These price rises then eventually attack the whole economy already strapped for cash.

In earlier times bankers just published an advertizement in their Banker Magazine telling their members at what date to start calling in loans. In this way contracting the money supply and creating a deflationary depression allowing them to buy everything up for pennies on the dollar. Nowadays things are a little more convoluted.

But for the few men controlling the system it is not. They just order: 'create depression now'. Their executives push the buttons and voila.

And yes, it's a gigantic control grid and very complicated and it is very difficult for them to maintain control. But it still is a system, being worked. And those that work it are the most powerful men in the world.

A 'Free Gold Market'

When we realize how the system is controlled in this way, it is also easy to understand that a 'free currency market' is also easily controlled top down.

Massive funding for Gold based currency, support from the media, the academics, political pressure. A real onslaught that will quickly conquer the maiden 'free market'. Then the easy contraction of the money supply at will by controlling world Gold reserves.

Conclusion

The Banking System is One. It is controlled top down. Those that control it are the Money Power. It's global and it rules finance. It dominates every Government on the planet through it.

Its basic operations are simple: maintain monopolistic control of the money supply. Provide credit at interest. Create a boom/bust cycle by inflation and deflation. Finance those under control or to be brought under control and starve the rest. Translate this financial omnipotence to Global Despotism.

The implementation of these basic policies have become more complex during the last century. But for the controllers little has changed.

This is basically all we need to know about the problem. There is no need to endlessly analyze what the CB's are up to now or what Goldman Sachs is doing next. They're busy doing what they've always done.

We should be busy deserting the system and building new, really free and independent currencies instead." (snip) ...

Famous Quote:
"Whosoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce... And when you realise that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate." - James Garfield 1881, a few weeks before he was shot

It's Not About Us - Reconnecting With The Web of Life

By Jack Allis

- A Shift Update ...

Now that we're a couple months into 2012, and less than nine months from the much ballyhooed December 21, 2012, it's time for another shift update. In my world, this topic is so hot that there is now significant information overload. I just returned from the Los Angeles Conscious Life Expo, with around 10,000 in attendance and a huge stable of so-called experts on the shift. I was struck by how much information about this the average person had in their head, while at the same time, not knowing what to do with it, particularly as it pertains to the part we play.

In these circles, people seem to have a basic understanding about a few aspects of the shift. They understand that the shift is an age of monumental transformation for our world and for us as individuals. And they understand that this is a process, taking place over time, as opposed to a single big-bang event, and this process has begun. The shift is happening, and we're in its midst. People also seem to accept that there is nothing etched in stone about 2012. There is the possibility that our sick world could limp along for a few more years. Or, it could come tumbling down tomorrow. We simply don't know. As for the experts, let's not forget that the New Age is potentially a serious threat to the established order. Like all such mass movements, it is littered with disinformation, which is planted for the express purpose of keeping us off track. Shocking and reprehensible, yes, but a common feature of our world.

I also noticed at the Expo that most people seemed to lump all the experts together, and assume they were saying more or less the same thing. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This is particularly true for the difference between the New Age perspective, as expressed by so many white folks, and the indigenous perspective, such as the Maya and the Native American traditions. Over the last few years, I have been blessed to experience the indigenous perspective directly through my association with Mayan Wisdom Keeper Tata Erick Gonzalez and the community he founded and leads, Earth Peoples United.

Understanding these differences can be very helpful in understanding the true meaning of the shift, and most importantly, what we are called upon to do at this momentous time. One major difference is the indigenous understand that this is not about us. In most cases, the message of the New Age folks focuses on helping people achieve the life they desire, including health, happiness, personal empowerment and manifesting prosperity in hard times. In short, it's all about us. We come first. This is a tragic error, and one of the reasons why our culture cannot sustain itself. The indigenous understand that we are not the most important thing in the world. We are but one part in a much larger web of life, in which everything is energetically connected to everything else, and every part shares energy for the purpose of serving the whole. Our top priority, then, must be to serve the web of life. Everything meaningful that we manifest in this world springs from this. And if we are going to co-create the new Earth at this critical time, this must be the primary source of our power.

Another key difference is how they view the transformation, or the collapse, of the old paradigm world. Everybody pays lip service to the fact that our old paradigm world is unsustainable, and that it is destroying the very environment humans need to survive. Again, this is where agreement ends. The difference here is between a soft landing and a hard landing (crash) for the collapsing old paradigm. In the New Age rhetoric, there is much more of a loyalty to our old paradigm world, and the assumption that much of this will make it through the transformation unscathed.Like Y2K, the shift will come and go, and there will be change, but things will continue on much as they are.

With the indigenous, there are no such loyalties. They see white civilization as a force that has plundered the Earth since its beginning, and with an agenda to exterminate all indigenous people and their spirituality. They see the old paradigm as fundamentally out of balance and rotten to its core because it has lost its connection with the web of life and lost its connection with spirit. In order to change, this world must be completely overhauled. This begins with its people, one at a time, awakening to their magical heritage as spiritual beings, and making the commitment to live that way. The indigenous also have an understanding of the true history of our planet, and that civilizations have been coming and going for far longer than our recorded history tells us. After all, Atlantis is now at the bottom of the ocean, and it's not unthinkable that our world could face a similar fate.

So many of the New Age folks know so much about the shift, as in facts, dates, predictions and alignments. Yet, they know so little because this is not knowledge applied. It has become a head game, for the purpose of entertainment and distraction. With the indigenous, this same knowledge is a call to action. They know that the time has come for the correction of the imbalances of our world. For a spiritual warrior, this means one thing. We must prepare - prepare ourselves physically by reassuming complete responsibility for our own lives, and prepare ourselves spiritually through our prayers and ceremonies.

The New Age folks are waiting for something to happen, and acting like they hope it won't because they're not doing anything, except talk. The indigenous aren't waiting for something to happen, but rather playing their part in making it happen. If we are to persevere in this great challenge, and co-create the new Earth, we must follow the lead of the indigenous, and prepare ourselves to play our part in reconnecting with the web of life."

Government Is Not Civilization, It Is Slavery

Column by JGVibes.

Exclusive to STR (http://www.strike-the-root.com)

"One of the most pervasive misconceptions in our culture is the idea that “government” has anything to do with the structure or organization that we see in our society. This is one of the primary reasons why people have such a difficult time considering the very real possibility of a world without the organization known as “government.” When someone suggests that we simply do away with this unjust and unnecessary organization, they are typically met with some very negative knee-jerk reactions from whoever they may be talking to. This kind of conversation typically ends very quickly because both sides have completely different ideas of what the word “government” actually means, making it very difficult to find common ground.

If we attempt to examine government from an outsider’s perspective, we would see a world where people are grouped into two different categories, those in government and those not. At face value, we can see that these two groups of people have completely different standards and expectations, even though they are the same species and have the same basic needs. Looking closer, we can see that these different standards and laws are not neutral, they are very much benefiting those in government at the expense of those who are not. The most important discrepancy to mention here is the fact that those in government have a license to kill anyone who happens to disobey them.

Pointing out this fact is vital in understanding the true relationship between those inside of government and those outside of government, and that is the relationship between slave and master. If someone has the right to initiate the use of force on you if you disobey them, you are essentially their property. If you don’t believe me, go on over to Google and type in “slave definition,” and the first definition you will find is the following: “A person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.” Now, doesn’t that sound a whole lot like the relationship between people inside government and people outside government? If you can force people to do things against their will, then you are treating them as if they were your property.

However, if you ask any random person on the street to define “government” for you, they would probably give you the story that they were taught in government school. You know, the one about how government is the backbone of civilization, and the means by which people in the community come together for mutually beneficial projects. Well this may sound good, but it isn’t at all true, because the government is comprised by a miniscule fraction of the population, and they would not be able to provide anything at all if it wasn’t for the resources that they forcibly extracted from the rest of society. Therefore, it is safe to say that all functions that are currently being carried out by the organization known as “government” could actually be better served by individuals in the community working together for common goals. Voluntary trade, charity and other peaceful methods of interacting would create a far better society than the one that we see today, which is filled with violence and forced associations.

It is not a new thing for people to confuse government with culture and have the misconception that without a central planning structure, everything that makes a society great would vanish. This fact was recognized by some of the more radical “founding fathers” of America, including Thomas Paine. In his most famous literary effort “Common Sense,” there is a section called “Of the Origin and Design of Government in General, with Concise Remarks on the English Constitution.” In this piece, Paine discusses the difference between government and society.

Paine writes, “Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without a government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.” His statement is as true today as it was during the first American Revolution. Culture, society and security are absolutely capable of continuing in the absence of a central control system.

The most common argument against having an organized civilization without government is the notion that we are all somehow stupid, worthless savages who would not be able to figure out how to build a damn road if there wasn’t someone with a gun in our face every step of the way, telling us how, when and where to do it. But if people are stupid savages, and politicians are people, then isn’t the government made up of a bunch of stupid savages who can’t be trusted with a license to kill? Aren’t they just the same as us and even in many cases far worse than us?

There is nothing that the government can do that you and a large group of likeminded people can’t do better. The government doesn’t provide services, they simply take money from everyone (except their buddies, of course!) and use a very small portion of that money to pay people in the community to do things for their neighbors that they probably would have done anyway in the natural course of human interaction. Looked at in these terms, it becomes apparent that the government is nothing more than a violent middleman, who forces his way into nearly every interaction that takes place between each of its so-called “citizens.”

Everything that the government does is an attack on people who don’t belong to that organization. If you think about it, every single action that the government takes is some kind of punitive measure taken against people who don’t belong to that organization. Even when the government claims to be doing something nice, they are doing so with resources that they obtained by using threats and violence, which really doesn’t make much of a case for the virtuousness of government.

This organization is not here to protect our rights as it claims to. In fact, when the government steps in and gives itself the responsibility to “protect” your rights, it is simultaneously stripping you of your ability to actually defend your own rights. When you are dependent upon the whims and capabilities of another human being to protect your rights, you are literally handing your rights over to them and essentially submitting to slavery."

Taking off the blindfold

AND Removing The Shackles ...

"I want to explain to everyone what is going on right now all across our planet. This is not going to be an easy task, as much of what I have to say is going to shatter beliefs and the preconceived notions of how our world works, on all levels, and the shock of it might be so profound that many will refuse to believe it. Before I start I want to say something to you all. I am putting this out here for you to read because it's my job to do so. It is the job of everyone who knows what is really going on around us, even if you know only small piece of the puzzle, to tell others and help them take their off their blindfolds. We have a responsibility to our friends and family and neighbours and even the grocer down the street, to help them understand. Even if they don't believe you, you've planted the seed in their minds, and when the massive changes happen, they will be better prepared to understand.

I've been posting articles daily to my friends about the arrests that are taking place and about the massive Banker resignations that are sweeping the world right now. I've been posting these things to sort of warm people up to the truth that's about to be disclosed to the world- a warm up so that when the announcements start to happen , people might not be quite so shocked by it all. As of yesterday there have been 116 banker resignations that we know of and about 90% of them have happened in the last two weeks. And believe me: none of these bankers have suddenly resigned because they have decided to find another job! This is one of the first major signs of what's about to happen.

The absolute first thing that I want to make clear to you is about the media. This is a vital point to understand because it's the basis of most of the problems that are going on right now. Our Mainstream Media (MSM) is NOT telling you the truth. About anything. For many years now, all the MSM has been bought up by 5 people- yes, almost 90% of the global mainstream media is owned by 5 people, (go ahead, look it up!), and they didn't buy it all up just as an investment. The MSM is tighly controlled and they report on only those stories that are allowed, and everything their controllers don't want the public to know is completely blacked out. The media is used to control us, to tell us what to think, to tell us how to feel, and most importantly to manipulate the population into doing what they want.

The second most important thing to know is that the MSM is used for "debunking" any truths that do get out and to deny and make fun of any "conspiracy theories" when the truth does get out. When pieces of real facts and truths slip out into the public they immediately do everything in their power to make sure people don't believe it. This is a major propaganda campaign that has been running for decades. Pretty much every single major event in the last 50 years has been spun to make people believe the "official" story. The assinations of JFK and Martin Luther king, the wars in Viet Nam, the Gulf war(s), the cold war, .... there is not enough room here to give a complete list. Sufice to say, if it's labled a "Conspiracy Theory" it's almost guaranteed to be true. (in future posts I will talk about several of these and explain the how and why).

The biggest "conspiracy theory" out there, one that they go to huge lengths to make fun of and to desperately try to debunk is the New World Order/Illuminatti/black hats/dark cabal theories. This is NOT a "theory". It is an absolute truth. Sadly people have been so brainwashed by the MSM that even when these powerful men (and women) openly talk about their "New World Order" people refuse to believe it is real. The media likes to scoff at people like Alex Jones (of infowars.com) and claim that these people are crack pots and delusional, what they don't tell you is that many of these groups have made more predictions that have come true, broken more major news stories, and dug up more information than any other "news" group on the planet. I'm not saying that they are all 100% correct- I don't completely agree with everything that Alex Jones says for example, but groups like his are reporting far more of the truth than anything in the MSM.

An excellent jumping off point to learn more about what is really going on in our world right now, is to watch the movie "Thrive" (http://www.thrivemovement.com). Yes, it was made by Foster Gamble (of Proctor & Gamble), and yes it pisses me off to no end that he is selling this video instead of making it available to the public for free, BUT the information that he brings out in this movie is vitally important for people to understand the who what where when why and how of the undercurrent of our global shadow government and what their goal is. It can be found online occasionally to watch/download for free- if you find it online, I recommend that you download it immediately as it disappears very quickly.

Another excellent piece of information has been launched last month by David Wilcock: "FINANCIAL TYRANNY: Defeating the Greatest Cover-Up of All Time" This is a HUGE article and will take you hours to read, but it is one of the most important pieces of information you will ever read in your life. Everything that David reports in this mini book will very soon be made public and the disclosure of these facts will shake the world very deeply. David explains the financial situation we are currently in and fully explains the history of how we got here. This is not a dry economic article that will put you to sleep, trust me!

My friends, we are about to witness a massive change that has never before been seen in our world- both financially, politically, spiritually, and in every aspect of our lives. I have told you about the arrests that are happening all over the world right now- bankers and politicians being the biggest targets.

This is happening because over the years several groups of very very informed men and women from the military/pentagon, various 3 letter groups, and secret underground groups from all over the world have banded to gether (with some very special help ) to bring down the twisted deadly empire of the Illuminatti/NWO/dark cabal.

These groups have made massive sacrifices to insure that the rest of humanity on this planet will have a chance to be free. They are currently on the cusp of the launching of a new global economic initiative that will end global debt and return us to a comodities based financial system.

There are several groups involved and several "Prosperity Packages" that will be launched very very soon. These packages will end global poverty and end the serfdom and slavery that has been imposed on us by a group of greedy men intent of owning and controling everything. One of many important factors of this global economic change over is the Revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar. This was originally planned by Bush as a means to make him and his cronies very very very wealthy, but through his fumbling of the invasion of Iraq (and his stupidity) the news of the revaluation leaked out to the public and now millions of people have invested in buying Iraqi Dinars.

Because of this, Bush and the Illuminatti/Dark cabal have done everything in their power to stop the revaluation from happening- having the main stream media call it "A Scam", even creating back doors into the computer systems to steal the money when the new rates go live. THIS is the main reason for the arrests that happened this past week. Arrests that are rumoured to include Bush jr & sr. Hilary Clinton, and Bill Gates (who orchestrated the 40 back doors that were found in the computer system)- It is also said that Timothy Geithner was arrested and questioned on the 24th and released with a "body guard" to make sure he doesn't leave the country. At the same time that the IQD is revalued well over a hundred other currencies will also be revaluing.

Along with the Prosperity packages there will be full disclosure- disclosure of the attocities that have been committed by these men over the last 200 years. Information will be released about advanced technologies that will free this planet from the toxic petroleum/nuclear/chemical wastes that are destroying us. Patents that have been locked away by the US government and labled a "danger to national security" will be made public and will be put into production. New ways of creating truly clean energy, powering transportation, medical technology.... technologies that we should have had access to many years ago, but that were hidden away.

These technologies have been withheld so that the shadow government could keep the people of this planet repressed, and to further their agenda of drastically reducing the global population. Yes, there are cures for cancer and AIDs- they have been withheld for years and years because the corporations run by these men, make money from the sales of drugs and from the huge grants they receive to do "research". Very soon the Big Pharma industry will have their dirty laundry hung out for everyone to see- the massive use of drugs and vaccines to disable and dupe the people- to keep us drugged so that we cannot fight back. This will all be disclosed.

I am asking you to have an open mind. I am asking you to look around, to turn off the TV, to do your own research. Right now the MSM has a complete black out on all the arrests that are happening, but soon this black out will be lifted and they will be able to report the truth of what's happening. As I get more information I will post it, and I will also post more articles that will go into the details of exactly what is happening and why.

The last thing I want to say is that we need to overcome the fear. The governments are continuously promoting fear and hate and distrust. There is a very good reason for that. They need to keep the population living in constant fear so that they can control us. Have you ever wondered why it is that Hollywood has brought out so many disaster movies in the last 20 years or so? Floods, Volcanos, Earthquakes, asteroids, alien invasions, wars. Or why the news seems to dwell on the murders, the kidnappings, the wars, the famines, the "terrorists", the diseases? ... these are all for one reason: to keep you in fear. Do NOT fear.

THE WAR WITH IRAN AND/OR SYRIA WILL NOT HAPPEN!!! We have assurances from the highest authorities that it will not be ALLOWED to happen.

It is imperitive that we focus on the positive emotions right now- joy, happiness and love. Here are a few videos that explain WHY we need to move beyond the negative and focus on the positive- I can not stess to you enough how important this is!!

I will be writing more info on these topics and more in the coming days and weeks and I will post out many links to other sources of information." (snip) ...

The Money Myth Exploded

The financial enigma resolved — A debt-money system

by Louis Even

“The Money Myth Exploded” was one of the first articles of Louis Even, and remains one of the most popular to explain how money is created as a debt by private banks. It is available in the form of an 8-page leaflet (tabloid format) that you can order from the “Michael” office, in several languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Polish, Portuguese.

1. Shipwreck survivors

An explosion had blown their ship apart. Each one grasped the first bit of wreckage that came to hand. And when it was over, there were five left, five huddled on a raft which the waves carried along at their will. As for the other victims of the disaster, there was no sign of them.

Hour after long hour their eyes searched the horizon. Would some passing ship sight them? Would their make-shift raft finds its way to some friendly shore?

Suddenly a cry rang out: “Land! Look! Over there, in the direction the waves are carrying us!”

And as the vague silhouette proved itself to be, in fact, the outline of a shore, the figures on the raft danced with joy.

They were five. There was Frank, the carpenter, big and energetic. It was he who had first cried, “Land!”.

Then Paul, a farmer. You can see him, front and left in the picture, on his knees, one hand against the floor, the other gripping the mast of the raft.

Next is Jim, an animal breeder; he's the one in the striped pants, kneeling and gazing in the direction of land.

Then there is Harry, an agriculturist, a little on the stout side, seated on a trunk salvaged from the wreck.

And finally Tom, a prospector and a mineralogist; he is the merry fellow standing in the rear of the picture with his hand on the carpenter's shoulder.

2. A providential island

To our five men, setting foot on land was like returning to life from the grave.

When they had dried and warmed themselves their first impulse was to explore this little island on to which they had been cast, far from civilization.

A quick survey was sufficient to raise their spirit. The island was not a barren rock. True enough, they were the only men on it at the moment. But judging from the herds of semi-domesticated animals they encountered, there must have been men here at some time before them.

Jim, the animal breeder, was sure he could completely domesticate them and put them to good service.

Paul found the island's soil, for the most part, to be quite suitable for cultivation.

Harry discovered some fruit trees which, if properly tended, would give good harvests.

Most important were the large stands of timber embracing many types of wood. Frank, without too much difficulty, would be able to build houses for the little community.

As for Tom, the prospector, well, the rock formations of the island showed signs of rich mineral deposits. Lacking the tools, Tom still felt his ingenuity and initiative could produce metals from the ores.

So each could serve the common good with his special talent. All agreed to call the place Salvation Island. All gave thanks to Providence for the reasonably happy ending to what could have been stark tragedy." (snip) ...

NOTE: Chapter 17 is a great explanation of how LETS works?

Catherine Austin Fitts On Genocide And The Looting Of America

"There are 290,000 articles on the Internet which include the full name of Catherine Austin Fitts and of these 144,000 are Youtube videos. Yet until today not one article included the word genocide though Catherine did warn us that the government wants to kill us. They stole our money and do not want to make restitution.

Catherine Austin Fitts was a Wall Street banker who rose through the ranks to become managing director at Dillon Read Investment bank. She resigned and became Housing Secretary under George Bush in 1989. She left to found Hamilton Securities which made money in the mortgage housing market. She was investigated and indicted 19 times and was eventually run out of Washington DC. Attempts were made on her life. She was persecuted for excessive honesty and had to retreat to a small town in Tennessee. She emerged on the Internet as a leading spokeswoman for the resistance to the New World Order.

In 1994 both of the political parties owned by Wall Street managed to pass NAFTA which sent 50,000 manufacturing plants overseas. Since Wall Street knew the people who had jobs and bought homes were soon to lose their jobs due to NAFTA, we can easily conclude that those home loans were fraudulently induced which nullifies the contracts.

The bankers took this fraud a step further and bundled home loans into mortgage backed securities which were designed to fail. They bought Credit Default Swaps (CDS) to make it appear that these bonds were valid investment vehicles. It is illegal to sell a worthless security. CDS are unregulated and only appear to insure a worthless bond as the seller of a CDS is not required to set aside funds to pay for losses as would a fire insurance company. Brooksley Born was the head of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission in 1999. She attempted to regulate CDS as she saw the inherent risks. Four Jewish men – Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin, Larry Summers (Samuelson) and Arthur Levitt- said No to her plan to regulate CDS. And the world financial community is now exposed to hundreds of trillions of dollars in CDS and derivatives that essentially did not exist fifteen years ago. The level of money in bonds is 3 times what it was 11 years ago. We are awash in credit. Yet a year ago at the Davos summit we were told that our problems would be solved if we created another 100 trillion dollars in bonds. We have a world economic output of nearly 70 trillion dollars but with total debts equal to 300% of that claiming payment. The International Swaps Dealers just concluded that they owe nothing for the Greek default.

My regular readers know that Ben Bernanke at the FED has created at least ten trillion dollars to date to buy back fraudulent MBS from the Europeans to keep the New York banks out of jail. We will pay for that money printing to cover fraud with higher food and gasoline prices. Many will not survive as the price of food rises beyond their reach.

In 1997 Catherine talked to the head of CALPERS (The California Public Employees’ Retirement System), who told her that he could not invest in her plans to rebuild America because the decision had been made to take America down and pull the money out of America. It was just 4 years later that the Department of Defense reported they could not trace 2.3 trillion dollars.

Catherine talked to a friend in New York about genocide at the time Clinton and his co-conspirators in the Republican party repealed Glass Steagall. This allowed deposit banks to behave like investment banks which is to say just like criminals. This exposed us all to unwarranted risk. How could JP Morgan have 90 trillion dollars of exposure in CDS and derivatives without impoverishing both their customers and the pension funds they managed? Alan Greenspan was of the opinion that fraud need not be regulated. That competition would eliminate fraud was not historically evident was of no concern.

In 1999 I began telling my friends that the Federal Reserve bank under Alan Greenspan was going to take America to war. They would begin by tightening money supply well in advance of the elections to drive down the stock market to guarantee Bush’s victory over Al Gore. Both Gore and Bush Sr. were members of the Trilateral Commission headed by David Rockefeller and Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. It was felt that George Bush would make a better war leader.

It was 20 years prior to that when I had told my friends at the lab back in Boston that David Rockefeller and Sir Evelyn de Rothschild wanted America to lose World War III. I had concluded this would eventually happen when I was a child after having read a small booklet explaining the dangers of money as a debt. I was shocked to learn that adults would allow such a thing as a bank to exist. I discussed the matter with adults in my neighborhood. Those that grasped that inflation was built into our system knew it would destroy us. But they all wanted to run out and buy real estate to profit from the coming societal collapse.

Lincoln and Kennedy created money as credits without first requiring a debt to be issued as did our ancestors with colonial scrip prior to the Currency Acts of King George. Lincoln and Kennedy were assassinated to keep us in Debt Slavery. As a child, I calculated that interest could not be paid without creating huge amounts of unpayable debts. By 2000 I could see World War III coming. It would serve the purpose of killing us so we could not ask for the return of the money the bankers had stolen from us.

Catherine realized the numbers she was seeing in the economy meant that Wall Street was making no provision for us to live long enough to collect our pensions and redeem our savings. This startled and pushed her into calling a friend to drive hundreds of miles to discuss her findings in a New York restaurant. People at her level are only allowed to talk privately. Her friend had come to the same conclusion that Wall Street intended to kill us.

If you are familiar with my background and writings, you will understand that the US military will not allow this to happen. In the Middle Ages the Catholics in England had no army willing to defend their property so they lost everything. Wall Street has no armies willing to die to defend them and the money they stole from us.

The article below covers the topic of Wall Street stealing our money and using it to buy real American assets for pennies on the dollar.

The video below is an interview in which Catherine explains this in one setting. Please pay attention when she talks about reform, transparency, food and slavery. Your life depends upon your ability to spread the truth about what she is saying."

Studying Our Nation - The Canadian Constitution - Appendix I

by George Armstrong

Nearly every Canadian outside of Ottawa (and even a very few there) can see that Canada today is a country which is in very serious trouble. There is massive unemployment on the West Coast as the fishery has disintegrated, the situation is so bad on the East Coast that the fishery which has sustained the entire economy since 1947 has been shut down completely.

In Quebec, there is a massive separatist movement which is thriving on a steady diet of unemployment, misdirected nationalism and deliberate misinformation. In the West, there s a growing separatist movement which is fueled largely by a century and more of economic exploitation combined with a general attitude emanating from the federal government that the West just doesn't matter.

Crime is at very high levels, and nothing the government can say with regard to statistics can allay the growing perception of the great majority of the people that crime is completely out of control... and that this is largely to be traced to government policies of one kind or another. In recent years, we have seen an alarming tendency on the part of the court system, and the Supreme Court in particular, toward making law in the courtrooms rather than in the legislatures. One thing after another, we were told, can never be upheld by the charter of Rights and Freedoms...

And, one thing after another we have seen that the exact same Charter does uphold, exactly as the so-called "right-wing fringe" elements have said all along, exactly as one federal government has said all along was not. Clearly, there is something desperately wrong.

The politicians, of course, keep saying, "Well, if you'll just let us tinker with the Constitution a little more, we'll fix everything up." And the people keep replying, "Hey, things were just fine until you started tinkering with it in the first place!"

No one trusts the leaders of the country to change the Constitution, simply because Canadians have far too much experience already with Great Leaders foisting their own political agendas, or the political agendas of small, unpopular pressure groups operating with huge government subsidies, ever to trust a Canadian politician again. But the people sense, due probably to our proximity to the United States, that there is something special about the Constitution. The American Constitution protects the rights of the American people, so, one would think, the Canadian Constitution should protect the rights of Canadians.

But Canadians don't know. They don't know, simply because the great majority of Canadians have never seen a copy of the Canadian Constitution. They go to the public freedomry: it's not there. They go to school: it's not there. They go to a government book store: it's not there. They ask their Member of Parliament: they get no reply. And if they persist in trying to obtain a copy, they will be told that the Government of Canada will not even sell a copy of the Canadian Constitution to a Canadian citizen. But they are certainly willing to take his tax money.

And so the inescapable thoughts begin happening: if the Government of Canada won't even sell a constitution to me, there must be something in it that they don't want me to find out... And when any Citizen gets to this point in his/her thinking, he/she is right, for the Canadian Constitution, if used correctly, can be just as effective a document as that of our cousins to the south. But we have to use it. And, if we are going to use it, first we have to know it... which is difficult if the government won't let you have a copy.

The solution to this dilemma, of course, is simply to pirate an edition of the Canadian Constitution and make it available at a reasonable price so that any Canadian can read it for him/herself.

A copy of The Canadian Constitution has been reproduced photographically, so what you will read is precisely what the Government is concealing. It was not even reset, purposely, in order that a perfect copy be produced, so if some of the type is hard to read, blame the government. But, and this is big "but": the larger type is what the Law actually is today; the smaller type is historical background and changes since 1867.

So, let's open up this "forbidden book" and see what's inside. The first thing the reader will notice in the Foreword on Pages xiv-xvi. This is designed to guide the reader through the remainder of the book, and gives a certain amount of historical background on the text. The reader will notice that there has been a lot of tinkering already with the Constitution, this in the form of amendments, repeals, additions, substitutions, spent provisions, alterations and additions by the British Parliament (whose Act this was until 1982), alterations by the Canadian Parliament, alterations by the Legislatures of the various Provinces, and so forth.

These will all be found in tabular form, on pages 74 et seq., and explained in tiny type throughout the text. On reading this section, perhaps the first thing the reader will notice is that, quite contrary to popular belief, the old British North America Act of 1867, which we all learned about in grade school, is alive and well. This Act, as we all know, was the original Canadian Constitution, even though it was not really written as such, but rather as more or less of a "housekeeping" act to give Canada a legal framework in which to operate.

Some may have learned, in senior courses, that the BNA Act was not what Sir John A. MacDonald wanted. Others may even know that Sir John A. was furious when he found out what was in it. A very few may even know why Sir John A. was furious when he read the BNA Act because it did not give him the near-absolute power he wanted so desperately. And an even tinier number, although growing every day, will realize that, once he found out what was in the BNA Act, MacDonald immediately set out to subvert the act in every way he could, a process that continues to this day.

A student, on reading the entire Constitution of Canada and assimilating it completely, will quickly realize one very important thing: although the Charter of Rights and Freedoms may be a seriously flawed document, the vast bulk of the powers to stop excess on the part of Government is contained within the sections of the old British North America Act. A thorough knowledge of this Act, combined with the willpower to live by this Act, on the part of enough Canadians, will roll back the near dictatorial powers of our Governments of today, and reintroduce to a new generation of Canadians the freedom which our ancestors knew and fought to preserve.

The old BNA Act was in 11 sections, plus the Preamble. Current fashion has it that the Preamble is simply a few lines of Nineteenth-Century legal puffery, and that is precisely what the government would like you to believe. In actual fact, the entire Act is written in plain English and is quite easy to understand. As to the Preamble, a careful reading will show that it is anything but legal puffery, that it is in fact a set of overriding conditions which the entire Act, and anything done under the Act, must accord with in order to have legal power.

The bit about "a constitution similar in principle to that of the United Kingdom" gives us Common Law, Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, property ownership (including firearms), our entire system of justice, the right of bail, the principle of presumed innocence ... even the right to physically oppose a government which does not do as the people wish. It is a long, long way from being legal puffery, and it is very easy to understand.The problem, in Canada, seems to be enforcing it. But it's here, and it belongs to you.

Studying Our Nation is a partial reprint of the Introduction to The Canadian Constitution by George Armstrong - a constitutional authority. He provides an overall view of the Constitution and directs readers to specific sections of both Schedule A, which is the modernized version of the old British North America Act, and Schedule B, which is generally known as the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The book The Canadian Constitution affords every reader a solid, authoritative overview of the supreme law of the land... and of its limitations.

Canada Hasn’t Basis To Pursue People For Income Tax

By Darren Martin

"My research into what I see as a significant upset regarding the lawfulness of the Income Tax Act and how the CRA can enforce it through the infallible and tenacious attitudes of the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service uncovered many disturbing facts regarding the Canadian Constitution.

At the time of the confederation movement, the provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick desired to form a federal union. This union was provided for in the form of the Quebec Resolutions of 1864. The Bill drafted by the Canadian delegates at the London Conference in 1866 also provided for a federal union. The BNA Act enacted by the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain carried out neither the sprit nor the terms of the Quebec Resolutions, and consequently, Canada did not become a federal union or a Confederation but rather a United Colony with the supreme authority still under the British government.

On Dec. 11, 1931, when the Statute of Westminster was enacted it galvanized our relationship with the Monarchy. The document transferred the sovereign power from George V to the people, granting total independence, making both the office of the Governor General and Central Legislature redundant. The Queen’s role for Canada is primarily as a ceremonial head of the Commonwealth which is an informal association of countries that were formerly members of the British Empire. The Canada Act of 1982 and its schedule “B,” the Constitution Act 1982, enacted by the United Kingdom Parliament on March 29, 1982, were two more imperial statutes to the series that existed before. Since 1982, more of Canada’s Constitution is to be found in the statute book of the United Kingdom (the schedule to the Constitution Act 1982, lists 22 United Kingdom statutes and orders in council as included in the “Constitution of Canada”). The existence of the Federal Government is, in fact (de facto), but not in law (de jure). The Governor General’s own website states he is “Canada’s de facto head of state.” Sec. 15 of the CCC deals with this type of Government.

Need proof? Refer to the Federal Interpretation Act and look up the definition for Canada. It reads, “for greater certainty, includes the internal waters of Canada and the territorial sea of Canada.. The definition for province is, “a province of Canada and includes the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.” By applying the legal maxim, the inclusion of one is the exclusion of all others, you can see lawfully Canada does not include N.S., N.B. etc. By way of the Statute of Westminster, the provinces are sovereign within their own sphere as there has been no Federation as of yet.

A section in the Income Tax Act reads, “this Act is binding on Her Majesty in the right of Canada or a province,” it only applies to the aforementioned provinces. Look up “prosecutor” in the CCC under the interpretation section. It means “Attorney General.” Now look that up, it means the “Attorney General” of that province… province having the same interpretation as the Federal Interpretation Act.

So how is it we are bullied by the CRA and we can be charged by a federal prosecutor? After the enactment of the Statute of Westminster the “Federal Government” created the corporation called THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF CANADA, a LEGAL FICTION. Wouldn’t YOU have to have a LEGAL FICTION for them to charge you? As there are only three lawful provinces in Canada, there are, incidentally, corporations called THE PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA etc. Look on ALL your GOVERNMENT issued identification and note the CAPITALIZATION of the name and decide for yourself, because that is the only way that this could happen."

This show will be unlike any full time/regular radio broadcast. Why?



1. It will identify interest/usury/riba as the original sin of the worlds economic and monetary problems. No society/nation which permits interest/usury/riba will remain sovereign. Why? Foreclosures, bankruptcies, and loss of sovereignty are a mathematic certainty over time.

Jesus was killed by the "money changers" for exposing their usury scam.



2. It will correctly identify how interest/usury/riba on gold/silver/paper/digits is the real problem behind money creation/lending . The "money changers" can bankrupt societies even on gold/silver with 100% reserves. They can do this with big govt, small govt, or even no government.



3. It will show how the "money changers" can cloak themselves/hire dis-info agents as "9.11 truthers", Statists, commies, socialists, Constitutionalists, peace activists, zionists, anti-zionists, Holocaust deniers(or not), WAC'ers, pacifists, Yogis, anarchists, Christians, Muslims, Jews, atheists, pro-choice, pro-life, former military activist, military, anti-military, open/closed border supporter, Occupier, Tea Partier, banker, or anti-banker. 

The "money changers" REQUIRE interest/usury/riba parasitism to survive. As long as we focus on ANY OTHER ISSUE they are free to feed on the People's commercial energy.

If the People FOCUS on this issue like a laser, understand the problem, and the MASSIVE POTENTIAL for immediate abundance they can become prosperous like very few times in human history.

Societies in the past which did not permit usury allowed for 1 bread winner to work 3 days a week. Why? Compounding interest was not stealing their commercial energy!



4. We will correctly identify that the US corporation(1871) is a bankrupt(1933) war democracy operating under emergency powers since the South walked out on Congress(1861). When any entity is in bankruptcy, the creditor(Fed) makes the decisions, and the corporate president is merely vestigial. 

Corporate presidents have a fiduciary responsibility to raise money for shareholders, not protect natural rights. Additionally, US citizens are corporate subsidiaries/franchisees of the US corporation. Fictitious entities(US Citizens) have no natural rights. Just by registering to vote we testify we we are US Citizens, and confirm that we are debt slaves.



5. We will correctly identify that our elections, and politicians are just phony actors in a grand act of political theater. YES, YOUR GUY TOO. The "money changers" have been in power for 1000's of years, finance both sides of wars, and initiate hundreds of "false flags". They FINANCE all sides of conflicts. They are masters of deception, theater, and control. The "false left-right" paradigm is a much stronger 3 sided control triangle to keep the sheep on the NWO plantation.



6. Leaders offer solutions. Fear mongers are tools. This show is dedicated to RADICAL INNOVATION of the world's monetary systems which can offer abundance THIS YEAR. 2012 Jubilee, and the abolition of usury. The "money changers" artificially suppress or human potential via interest/usury/riba. Just like they with-hold free energy technology. Money is just a technology which can be used for good, or evil. 



7. We intend to radically innovate money creation/lending. There is no reason to pay interest/usury/riba. We can buy almost 3 houses for the same energy we use to pay off one today. Additionally, we can fund a voluntary society through a fee based lending system for homes. IE: no income taxes/property taxes/victimless crimes. 

EX: On $110k borrowed, the borrower would receive $100k. $5k to bank. $5k to social programs. The borrower would pay back ONLY $110k. This is sustainable as $110k of debt is created, and $110k money invented. Interest free loans are being created already on a very small scale in Ithaca, NY for 20 years now.



8. We are not just posting/talking/complaining/occupying/whining about problems. "talk is cheap" We have already initiated our plan for a local currency modeled after Ithaca, NY's 20 year old system. 



9. A step by step plan for the universal debt Jubilee can be found at mtnHours.com. Hint: hire the sheriff with the local currency so he will work for the People to end income/property taxes/foreclosures/victimless crimes.



10. The People creating their own money to harness their own commercial energy! What is MORE revolutionary than that? This is a true grass roots revolution which cannot be co-opted as YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS control/create/distribute money.
