The following was posted on another forum: Good morning Free People, My morning show is typically broadcast from The Asia Times Forum where I really like the forum editing software as that software can manipulate the data in such a way as to be well capable of transferring from forum to forum with a cut and paste routine. Asia Times Forum has been down for some time now. I am moving my morning show to here, where I’ve been taken from the front page and moved to the “irrelevant” or “Off-Topic” and “Miscellaneous” page. Beware of the “authorities” folks; they have someone’s interest in mind, at all times. On with the show: This show is offering a non-standard, non-established, non-state, non-capitalist, non-socialist, non-right, and non-left viewpoint of current events where the idea is to find and report on the most significant events and the idea goes further to quantify significance as a measure of survivability for the human species – if the “News” threats human survivability then the “News” is significant and if the “News” promotes human survivability then the “News” is significant. The news item of concern this morning is a piece written by one of the Austrian Economist Cabal members on the Austrian Economist Propaganda web site. Here is the link: http://www.lewrockwell.com/gordon/gordon63.html I will read and comment on that article for this mornings show and before reading that article I’ve set about publishing this introduction. You get it, right here, because this place is supposed to be FREE. True freedom is a responsibility, not an excuse for injuring innocent victims for profit. The title of the latest “News” item has inspired me to write and publish this extensive introduction because the title of the latest “News” item appears to hit all the bases, all the significant areas of concern, for the human species worldwide. Not Good as Gold [size=The case against global currency schemes, whether Chinese or American] Before I read the article and before I begin to quote from the article I think it is important to point out to any potential reader that I do not ascribe to any employment of fraud or force applied toward the creation or maintenance of any legal money system, be it a Gold backed system, or any commodity money system, not even a system that intends to enforce (by fraud, thread of violence, or actual violence) a competition among competing currencies. The root cause of almost all of the evils manifesting (or infesting) human existence is fraud, threats of violence, and violence designed to injure innocent people for profit – including enforcement of legal money. So why enforce legal money? The answer is simple: something as necessary to human economy as money (an accounting system media or “currency”) can be sold at an enormous profit by the single provider (monopoly) of that necessity. Money is an economic currency to the body politic as blood is a physical currency to the human body, without which life suffers and dies. Money fuels and sustains the political and economic engine, or body and a single provider of money (legal tender) can restrict the flow so as to increase demand and “make a killing” by charging higher prices for money (interest). If a competitor is allowed to compete, and add to the supply of money, the power to choke down the supply, to “govern” the supply of money, is no longer a power held by the monopoly, the monopoly ends, and the result is higher quality money at a lower cost. Know the facts. Moving on to the article, soon, I’ll quote from it and comment upon it, and notice how the title includes the word Chinese in the title. If the Chinese can offer a more valuable, better, more powerful, more accurate, less deceptive, less fraudulent, higher quality money, at a lower cost, then the dollar will lose market share, The Dollar Hegemony will end, the monopoly power will no longer be a power, and the money supply will stabilize to meet the demand for money, in an equitable fashion. What that means, in real terms, is that people who employ money to make money will get money – the supply will meet the demand. And I can offer an example to illustrate how this economic fact works when competition in money markets governs money markets (rather than a monopoly power governing money markets). The illustration is a company called Tesla Motors. That company was all set to make a sedan version of their all electric car before the money monopoly power began restricting the money supply in our recent past. Time must be understood, as timing is very powerful in the management of the money monopoly power. The time to “constrict” the flow of money has already past, it is history, and that application of that power caused the “economic collapse” of our recent past. That happened to occur when Tesla Motors was all set to begin mass producing the sedan version of their electric car and the result of that “constriction” of the money supply delayed Tesla Motors, because Tesla Motors needs money to fuel their engine of production. Once Tesla Motors is fed more money, then, Tesla Motors starts pumping out Electric Cars and by that production Tesla Motors makes the money they borrow into more money. Money turns into more money by that industry. That is an illustration of how the demand for money is met with a supply of money and money is then made into more money – by economic industry. Failure to allow the money to supply to meet the demand, or misdirecting money into waste, is like treating a human body suffering from massive blood loss with leaches or “blood-letting”, or the treatment for an anemic patient is a transfusion with oxygen deficient blood transfusion. An illustration of waste is perhaps needed here, as was the illustration of “governing” the supply of money away from productive industry in the Tesla Motors illustration. During the worst of the last waste of the money over-supply phase of money management by the monopoly power (The Dollar Hegemony) a monetary instrument was pushed through the system whereby “Liar Loans” were forced into circulation. I have testimony of this fact. Loan agents were threatened with their jobs if they did not process these “Liar Loans”, as many as they could. A “Liar Loan” is a transfer of money from a “legal tender” officer to a borrower based upon an 18 hour bra qualification i.e. No Visible Means of Support. It must be understood by anyone who wishes to know the facts, that the money monopoly governors will and often will cause too much money to enter the body and then those same governors cause not enough money to enter the economic body politic. The idea there is to create a business cycle on a seemingly random schedule so as to profit by selling at the known peak of price fluctuation and then buy at the known bottom of price fluctuation. It is truly simple, and it is pure evil genius. You may think I am on crack, while I see the facts, you can ignore the facts, and that doesn’t make you ignorant, it makes you stupid – you have the opportunity to see the facts and move on from an informed position – a more powerful position. The Chinese are gaining power now. Your wealth is siphoned off as taxes to pay debt and that wealth is sent to China to pay interest on debt for POWER borrowed from the Chinese so as to destroy the flow of oil from Iraq to Europe. I know this sound ridiculous, but it only sounds ridiculous from a perspective of ignorance. It is very simple. It is a power struggle and more power is not in the best interest of The Money Monopoly. Please see this fact. Too much power, more power than The Money Monopoly can ever consume, will “trickle down” to everyone, where everyone becomes more powerful, and The Money Monopoly no longer has power over their victims. Do you fail to see this fact? I can offer another illustration. If Tesla Motors, or you and I, can produce more power if only we could get high quality money at a low cost (the money buys what we need and we are not charged too much interest), then the only thing missing to get more power produced is better money. The missing element that is in the way of creating more and more power is The Dollar Hegemony as that monopoly power employs its power in the process of eliminating the competition. The illustration for this can by you calling up a Solar Panel company and having them reduce your electric bill before the end of the month. Now you have more power. Next thing you do is buy an electric car and pay 2 cents per mile instead of 10 cents per mile to get around and do the thing you must do to make more power (make more money). Now you are even more powerful. Next thing you do is (if you can) refinance your home and business mortgage so as to reduce the cost of interest that you now send to The Money Monopoly. Now you have even more power because you send less power to The Money Monopoly (less interest on your mortgages), less power is sent to the electric company (you make that power at home), and less power is sent to the Oil companies, you use the power you make at home to fuel your car. Now times your power struggle by 100 million Americans (and count up the surge in industry as more jobs are created in making Solar Panels, Electric Cars, and all the installation and maintenance jobs that go with that War on Power or War on Falsehood campaign). How is that for an illustration? Going back to the link that I have yet to read, where the “Chinese” appears in the title, think now before making rash conclusions. Right now the idea is to think about the possibility of having a choice between using money supplied by The Dollar Hegemony and instead of choosing that option you have an option to use money supplied by a competitor in money markets. The competition may or may not be Chinese money. The idea, before reading the link, is to entertain the possibility of employing better money – of having a choice to reject The Dollar Hegemony issue of blood and oil soaked (laundered) money. That is the end of my introduction and the next thing that will go here is a quote from the article (after I cut and paste this to the forum to see if it fits under the word count maximum). Part III ++ But it is not as though everything is right so long as people think that others will not reject dollars. Money, like all other goods, has a price, determined by supply and demand. An increase in the quantity of paper money reduces its value. If people think that the government is going to inflate the money supply, they value units of money less than before, and prices soar. ++ I stopped reading at this point to respond to the words written and challenge those words. Let the reader know that I will e-mail the writer and link this forum web page, as has been my practice, to see if the challenge to the words written is met by the writer of the words written. The paper money offered by The Dollar Hegemony is backed and so the reason for not reporting the truth is a mystery to me. The author of the words that do not report the truth concerning the backing of The Dollar could explain his reasons for failing to report the truth. I can’t. I can speculate that the writer has an opinion about his readership, that his readership is too stupid to know any better, or some other reason. The fact is that the Dollar is backed by Oil and Military force. That is an indisputable fact, or someone can dispute that fact – be my guest. I won’t hold my breath. The Dollar may also be backed by taxpayer money, where taxpayers pay Dollars to The Dollar Hegemony, but that supposition is not well supported by available evidence, or reason, or logic. If The Dollar Hegemony could back The Dollar with tax money, why would they bother, all they have to do is add zeros to their ledger and they have more money. What would be the point? Why do “they” have to borrow from the Chinese? Here it is important to understand the link between Oil and The Dollar. It is not in the best interest of The Dollar Hegemony to allow Oil to flow from Iraq to China, or Russia, or Europe. If that were to happen the money produced by China, and Russia, and Europe would have Oil backing their currencies – making their currencies more powerful than The Dollar. That is why The Dollar Hegemony (Oil backed legal tender) cannot allow Iraq to supply Oil to China, Russia, or Europe. That is why Hugo Chavez is such a thorn in the side of The Dollar Hegemony, because Hugo allows Oil to flow to China, Russia, and Europe (and the U.S.A.). That fact is also the fact that shows why Iran is such a thorn in the side of The Dollar Hegemony. More power flows to the competition by those current realities, as Oil flows from competitors to competitors and as power makes the competition as powerful as The Dollar Hegemony. Once the competition is as powerful as The Dollar Hegemony the price of Oil and the price (interest rate) of money will be forced down to cost – the cost of extracting, refining, and shipping Oil, and the cost of printing, accounting, and transferring money. The really big monkey wrench that threatens The Dollar Hegemony isn’t even Hugo Chavez, Iran, or China. The really big threat to The Dollar Hegemony is the growing power of knowledge commanded by the victims of The Dollar Hegemony, and the sun. When the sun soon becomes the lender of last resort, as people borrow from the sun to fuel their cars, and borrow from the sun to heat their homes, and borrow from the sun to cook their food, and borrow from the sun to power their industry, then too much power will be in the hands of everyone to allow a money monopoly to exist on the planet earth. That day is coming soon, to a theater near you – and the smart ones in The Dollar Hegemony know it. “They” are growing more desperate by the day. Soon “they” will offer up “scapegoats” for “our” entertainment, mark my words. I may be wrong, I am often wrong, but not on political economy – I understand how that works. Part IV + Here Chinese complaints about the dollar as a reserve currency enter the scene. If I wanted to buy coffee at a Chinese Starbucks, I could not pay in dollars. I would first have to exchange my dollars for Chinese RMB. This presents no problem for a simple transaction, but matters are different for large-scale world markets in commodities like oil. Here it is obviously convenient for a country to have on hand not only its own money but other currencies as well. + “A country” has no hands. It may seem like a trivial criticism to you, but to me the error is extremely significant. The error here is to support the false notion of a false idol, a false god, a separate being, “a country”, a responsible entity, a limited liability corporation, a being that is capable of thought, a being that is capable of action, a being that can be held accountable (while the real human beings who are responsible are not held accountable). Notice how the author of the piece linked does, in fact, mention the Oil factor (a powerful factor in this effort to understand current realities). I am looking for something specific in this article. I am looking for a specific report on competition in money markets, where competition is the force behind improvement, and the force that causes higher quality in money, and the force that causes the price of money to reduce down to the cost of money. If this report, this article from the “Austrian Cabal” does misses that fact, that factor, then my suggestion to the reader is to ask “why”? Why is that important factor missing from this report? I can answer that question with more than one possible answer, but for now I will continue to read the report on current world realities of sustainable human existence and I will comment as I read it, for this chapter of my morning show, as I offer the world a more accurate perspective through the channels of communication that are available to me. + A country will wish to hold money that other countries accept. Normally countries converge on one, or at most a few, monies as their main holding. If most countries want to hold large amounts of the same country’s money, that becomes the world’s dominant reserve currency. + Above is a hint on the link between Oil and The Dollar Hegemony. China (the Chinese people through their governing agents and that form of POWER) were forced to buy Dollars so as to buy Oil to run their growing industrial economy. An Oil Cartel (Oil Monopoly or Cabal) formed many years ago began demanding Dollars for Oil or the potential customer wanting Oil could not get Oil from the Oil Cabal. No Dollars, No Oil, and if you want to know why Saddam Hussein went from the Golden Boy (shaking hands with Rumsfeld) to the new “Hitler” when, in fact (you can check the facts and prove me wrong; please), when Saddam began selling Oil for the competitions money (not dollars). Iraq didn’t begin to sell Oil to China for Chinese money, Saddam did, but that didn’t stop The Dollar Hegemony (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc.) from punishing both Saddam and the rest of the people in Iraq (except for their paid employees “the insurgents” don’t you know). Part V http://amconmag.com/article/2009/may/18/00022/ + The Chinese claim that because of reckless American financial policy, the world has lost confidence in the dollar. It would thus be better to shift to a world money, which all countries would accept. Are they right? Should we accede to the Chinese suggestions? Or should we try to hang on to our position? + At that point in reading that article I am on the edge of my seat, with my mind forced open, ready to process the data offered in answer to the questions posed. Please, I am thinking, be accurate and honest in answering the question asked. + What should we do? One answer would be to weigh the advantages of remaining the world’s reserve currency against the dangers. Are the benefits of being able to inflate more than other countries and running up huge balance of payment deficits worth the chance that foreign pressures might ruin our monetary system? + My bubble burst, the hack is an apologist for The Dollar Hegemony, he speaks as if “we” are in this power struggle, as if “we” command it in some way, as if “we” have a choice in the matter. He may have a choice in the matter, I don’t. The power to command the money monopoly (The reserve currency) is backed by the power to control the flow of Oil and the flow of Military forces. To suggest otherwise is pure fantasy. That guy is on crack, I’m severely disappointed in this latest “News” item offered by the “Austrian Cabal”. I may read the rest of the offering and comment on it. I have to find the time and the energy (the power) to do so. Perhaps a reader of this morning show can offer a competitive interpretation too. letters@amconmag.com

The following currency is accurate according to my experience dealing with the source. The supplier of the accurate currency wrote a book titled BLACKWATER. http://rebelreports.com/post/132342133/a-few-thoughts-on-the-coup-in-honduras That above is, if I have the idea right, an expense of inaccurate currency (consume involuntary tax revenue) to gain political power over a competitor who dares to defy the oil and dollar cartel known as The Dollar Hegemony. I have yet to read the link, it is a major news story that could be told accurately or falsely. Tell me, who do you trust?
