Honest Productive Americans,
I need to clarify what I mean when I address the honest, productive, Americans.
When competition is legal, people are honest, because each lie comes around and bites each honest productive person in the ass, so they learn, to stop lying, they learn that lying doesn't pay, they learn that in the short term a lie may avoid some unpleasant thing, but they learn, that a lie will weaken them eventually. Failure to learn, is the same road that results in failure to produce, when someone else has learned, and has managed to learn how to increase the quality of production, and lower the cost, by avoiding lying, so as to be in a position to learn.
You may be confused by my words, and I can help you with that confusion, as I resort to someone who understands how lies can most certainly get way out of hand, and the full measure of just how horrible those lies bite people in the ass, is realized. I will offer to those honest productive Americans, who are still honest, and who are still producing, the following link, and the specific quote from the link, and then I will choose words that intend to unravel any confusion that may be left in the minds of the readers now reading this report.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Nobel Lecture (1970)
We will be told: What can literature do against the pitiless onslaught of naked violence? Let us not forget that violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with LYING. Between them there is the closest, the most profound and natural bond: nothing screens violence except lies, and the only way lies can hold out is by violence. Whoever has once announced violence as his METHOD must inexorably choose lying as his PRINCIPLE. At birth, violence behaves openly and even proudly. But as soon as it becomes stronger and firmly established, it senses the thinning of the air around it and cannot go on without befogging itself in lies, coating itself with lying's sugary oratory. It does not always or necessarily go straight for the gullet; usually it demands of its victims only allegiance to the lie, only complicity in the lie.
There is no way that anyone can lie and make anyone else believe that something ugly is beautiful. That is the message. In the face of actual beauty, actual love, actual peace, actual harmony, actual honesty, actual productivity, actual reason, actual intelligence, actual knowledge, actual truth, actual common sense, the lie is found wanting, struggling, and resorting to violence.
Violence is the part that bites YOU in the ass, the liar eventually pays, the intended victim of the lie pays at first, and then, perhaps, that victim decides to join in on lying as a means of earning a living, lying to one's self, then lying to others, and in so doing all the beauty in the world takes second stage, as the first lie requires a second, and two lies require four, and the human spirit no longer has any room left to appreciate anything other than an absolute demand for lies, and when those lies no longer work, the liar has very few choices left, and none of which are more lies, but every one is relatively beautiful by comparison to the road chosen that leads to absolute ruin, except one.
1. Choose violence as a means of "earning" a living, consuming that which honest productive people have produced.
2. Suffer all accountability associated with each lie you embraced all the way back to the start, where you, earning, trust, once again.
3. Return to honest productive life, just like everyone else who knows how to earn their time on Earth - eventually.
Lies replace all things beautiful, unless torture is beautiful to you, but then you would not be an Honest Productive American.
Each penny earned, or each whatever legal money unit is used to measure surplus wealth, is earned honestly, stealing is not earning, and this isn't a lesson in semantics.
If there is a lot of surplus wealth, which there is, obviously, if you can get past all the lies told to you by the naked emperors, you see honest people producing, because that is a requirement, honestly is a requirement, if you don't stop lying, you can't compete, you are lying to steal, you are not lying to earn a damn thing.
It isn't semantics.
Prostitutes are not in business to earn their way back to virginity. You may find one that argues, semantically, that that is what they are doing, as you may be paying one, I don't know, I'm just saying, a kettle is a kettle, a pot is a pot, because that is what they are, and they are not something else, no matter what other word is used as a label.
Legal competition is a good way to help the reader understand that which is diametrically opposed to legal crime; like night and day, and like good versus evil, one exists as people define it, by their actions, and by the actions that are driven by their thoughts, and that is what that is, if it is legal competition, that is what it is, and if it is legal crime, then that it what it is, not both at the same time, one is in daylight, and the other is in the dark of night, one is good, the other is evil.
Legal criminals may want to call other legal criminals bad, hey, you, look over there, that is a very, very, very, bad person: while that one is picking your pocket. A legal criminal may add, while pointing out another legal criminal, that, hey, I'm here to help, which is half true, one legal criminal is point out another one, warning you, unless it is a lie, and the one pointing is pointing at an honest productive American. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, but beware of Greeks bearing "gifts". The false front is such that the intended, targeted, powerless, ready, willing, able, victim, is supposed to believe in the lie that the legal criminal is an honest productive person, while the victim's pocket is picked, for torture, or for murder, as more victims are thrown on the pile. Read Solzhenitsyn, he's been there, and done that.
When everyone is lying, when everyone joins the legal crime ring, what do you think happens? Who is left to produce anything? Who has time to do anything other than obey?
Now, please, return to the link at the top of the page, as there are three separate perspectives offered on the subject of people defining the methods by which people hold other people to account.
They are not speaking about Trial by Jury; which is one way that people hold other people to account.
They are not speaking about Trial by Lies; or our current system of "Justice" which has not been Trial by Jury, since the constructive interpreters of The Constitution outlawed that form of competition, which is not a method by which people hold other people to account, as our current system of Trial by Lies is legal crime, if ever there was legal crime - not to say that there aren't any cases of honest people still managing to hold other honest people to account, competitively, despite the laws that enable law enforcers to out-law competition.
The people in the video linked at the top of the page are speaking about how people, competitively, hold other people to account, honestly, and accurately, for each of their honest measures of production. They are talking about currency, or money, or whatever method is chosen by whomever, and whenever, anyone holds anyone else, honestly, and accurately, to account for their relative production.
Their RELATIVE production.
If there is only one person, put on your thinking caps, is there any need for money?
Alex Jones is an artist, in the full sense that Alexander I. Solzhenitsyn reports, as the source of power that will defeat open violence, or destruction, or crime, or legal crime, and Alex Jones brings to that table, in that video, a neutral perspective, as the other two perspectives offer competitive alternatives as to what constitutes a more competitive currency. Alex Jones is, in essence, a medium of exchange, Alex Jones is a conduit, a form of currency, a wire that connects competitor A with competitor B, and anyone else connected to those two competitive definitions of currency.
Are you confused?
Bill Still offers a whole lot of information to define the type of currency competition that has been recorded in history, and he offers his opinion as to which ones work to accomplish specific things, and you can view a fuller measure of that explanation in such videos documentaries as:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXt1cayx0hs
http://www.themoneymasters.com/
The other perspective at that table, where Alex Jones is the neutral connecting medium, more or less, is The Austrian School of Economics, or The Gold Bugs, or whomever, or whatever, represents that defining medium of exchange that is somehow related to Gold, or to Silver and Gold, or to lesser, and lesser, and lesser degrees, to other precious metals, such as platinum, or even lesser, to other commodities - perhaps - depending upon whose professing the Gold Bug profession.
Here is a test for anyone, anywhere, when the professor professes the existence of a free market, as something real, and something measurable, and something definable - ask - is deception present in that free market?
If it is, then, what is it? If the professor dodges the question, you have the answer.
If deception is present in that free market, that one that the professor professes, then it isn't free of deception - by definition.
If it is free of deception, then it is free from violence, again, read Alexander I. Solzhenitsyn, and know the full measure of the link between falsehood and violence.
If it is free of deception, and therefore free of violence, how did it get that way?
See?
You have to ask the right questions.
Honest productive people made the free market, they are it, they define it, and they don't need an interpreter to explain it. It is what it is, where it is, and it is free of deceit, to the limits of human capacity to avoid deception, and it is free of violence, again within the limits of how well, or how poorly, honest productive people can avoid resorting to violence, and it is free of criminals, as honest productive people manage to avoid being criminals, and as honest productive people manage to avoid the criminals, and especially the legal criminals.
Which currency do the honest productive people choose, when they have a choice, in a free market, free of deception, and all that goes with deception?
They don't need an expert telling them to make the right choice, and this is where you get to hear my offering, which isn't Bill Stills offering, and it isn't The Gold Bugs offering (you may be able to guess their expert opinion on which money is best), and it isn't anyone's offering other than mine, but my offering is based upon something that has also occurred in history.
There was a guy, once, who offered a concept to the world, and he even invented his own printing press to help him spread the word, against the forces of monopoly, or as I like to call it: legal crime.
The concept is called The Cost Principle.
The idea is such that if things are sold at cost, then the full measure of Surplus Wealth (which is that which is produced but not immediately consumed, or, the amount of production that is present in excess of consumption): the full measure of Surplus wealth will be a universal reduction in total costs of living.
It is simple, but you have to cut through years of behavioral modification, brainwashing, response conditioning, and blind obedience to falsehood, to realize the simplicity of the cost principle.
There is a way to see this cost principle stuff from a conservative, republican, gold bug, free market, viewpoint too, if you can't get past all the brainwashing.
What happens when two or more competitors are dreaming up a price that they will advertize on their products when only a few consumers are busy shopping for those products?
Competitor A prices his at cost from the start.
Competitor B jacks up his price twice the cost he spent on producing it.
Competitor C looks at the price from A and B and competitor C lowers his price lower, increases his quality higher, and cuts his cost down below the other prices.
Are you confused?
The subject is money, or currency, and currency is a better name, and money is an older name, both names are meant to point to the same thing, but there, in that duplicity, is a way to understand, instead of remaining confused.
Many forms of money can compete, do compete, and will continue to compete, unless there is a force that makes competition against the law, or unless there is a force that ends competition, a force that has nothing to do with "official" law. If there is no competition, there is no force to inspire producers to increase quality and lower cost, as a rule, or as an economic law, on a law book, or not on a law book, it doesn't matter, the fact of it is a fact, even if you don't want to see it, sticking your head in the sand doesn't make it go away.
Competition is a force, and it forces quality up, and it forces cost down, because that is what competition does, live with it, or outlaw it, whichever you prefer, but who do you think will pay the cost of living, when there is no competition? You tell me.
Which form of money is the highest quality and the lowest cost?
This isn't a quiz, there is a highest quality money, and it is at the lowest cost, compared to all the other competitors, and either you know what it is, or you don't, and you don't need an expert, and you don't need an official, and you don't need a professor, and you don't need me, or Bill Still, or Alex Jones, or a professed member of the Gold bug club to find it.
Here is a quiz:
Is it a good idea to find the highest quality money at the lowest cost?
If you think not, then you are thinking just like a legal criminal, you may be one, or an accessory to their crimes, as you lend both political, or psychological, and material, or economic, support to them, as they torture, and as they mass murder, millions of innocent victims, in their effort to end all competition in money markets.
If Bill Still has the power to offer you a better money, a higher quality money, and a lower cost money, do you even know it?
If you don't know it, how can you choose?
If the Gold Bugs offer you a better money, higher quality, and lower cost, to you: choose it. What is stopping you? You don't know? Does that sound like ignorance to you?
Does it sound like stupidity?
Does the guy in the beard, in the video, offer a higher quality, and lower cost to you money?
You don't know?
"I'll take whatever that guy over there is buying?"
"I'll go with the flow?"
Currency flows. Does money flow? Wouldn't it be nice to sit and do nothing while everyone else pays you to sit there doing nothing?
Can everyone sit and do nothing while everyone else pays everyone else to sit there and do nothing?
Can everyone grow rich by lying to everyone else, and when that doesn't work, everyone threatens everyone else, and when that doesn't work everyone tortures everyone else, and when that doesn't work, everyone murders everyone else? Who pays the cost of living? What happens to the cost of living?
What is the full measure of the highest quality currency; whereby the product, this currency stuff, accurately manages to account for who produces how much so as to know how much that person has earned, so as to exchange that measure of earning for anything else needed, or wanted, which is produced by someone else, who has also managed to measure up his, or her, productivity, and do so precisely, in relation to some, knowable, standard of value?
How about life?
Is life a standard of value? How much does life cost?
When the one and only person who is the record breaking torturing mass murderer to date walks into your store to buy something that you have worked hard, honestly, and without resort to deceit, and without resort to threats of violence, and without resort to willful acts of terrible violence upon the innocent, to make, he wants what you made, and that torturing mass murder extraordinaire offers you the full measure of what he has earned, his money, in exchange of the thing you have for sale, do you take his blood money at your price, or do you jack up your price, just for that one customer, or do you give your life to him, or does he just take you life: slowly?
How much is a torturing mass murderer paid, per torture victim?
Do you get it?
Are you still confused?
What is the value of a finger nail taken off of an innocent child? Is that a high quality standard of value?
Is that a competitive standard of value, usable in producing, and maintaining, a high quality currency, at a low cost to you?
Do you need a standard of value?
A. Yes, I need a standard of value.
B. No, too much trouble for, me, I have a lot of work to do, and not much time.
C. Yes, and the standard should be based upon a measure of how much someone can destroy someone else, the more destruction the better.
D. Yes, and you are probably right, life, or the cost of maintaining life, may actually be a good standard of value, or standard of living type thing: it sounds reasonable, so far.
E. Conspiracy Theorist - where is your tin hat?
No?
How do you know a good deal from you being taken to the cleaners? How do you know when you are paying too much? How do you know when you are working way too hard, and there is nothing to show for all your work, nothing, you have nothing, and you have to work harder, and harder, and you get less, and less, each new day, you have to work harder, each new day, you have less to show for it, and can you now realize that that is a standard.
That would be your standard, that day, and then, the next day, you work even harder, and you have even less to show for it, and that is now, your new standard. How much work did you do the first day of work? How much did you get as a reward for that first day of work, on that first day? That was the standard.
Then, time went by, each new day, more work, less pay, until today.
Now you are at the new standard.
What happened?
The legal criminals are running an extortion racket with a legal money monopoly.
Where have you been?
They have a standard of value. Everyone else must work more, to send them more, and that is that standard of value.
They torture, and they mass murder, and you pay them to do it.
How much is one nail taken off of one innocent toddler worth to you? You don't know, yet you still pay that bill when that bill is sent to you.
Bill Still has a competitive offering of higher quality and lower cost money.
The Gold Bugs have a competitive offering of higher quality and lower cost money.
Which money are you choosing?
Is it a free market?
What makes it less than a free market?
Failure to work for dollars will result in you working for dollars, one way or the other, and if you find a way out, you are the exception, not the rule, when everyone finds a way out, there will be something known as regime change.
Regime change is the order of the day, coming to a theater near you, and if you think the dollar was bad, worth getting out from under, what do you think the new bosses are going to dictate to you?
I've worked long enough on this, for now.
