   Money Defined:

As the first step in clarifying this issue, let us define what money is.  

The Traditional definition of money:  Money is a form of goods and service with three, major  functions:   
     1)  It is an accepted medium of exchange,  
     2)  It is a stable storage of wealth,  and 
     3)  It is a consistent measure of value.   
There is Real Money and there is Fiat Money.   

Real money:    Real money is a commodity that has an intrinsic value.  It has value in and of itself,  such as gold,  goats, cattle, or sheep.   Goats, cattle, and sheep have gone out of favor as money because they are a rather poor storage of wealth and cumbersome as a medium of exchange.   The two most common and most ideal commodities that  serve all three functions of money are gold and silver.

Fiat Money:    Fiat money is piece of paper which has value only because someone else will accept it in exchange for goods and/or services.   In and of itself, it has no value.   Essentially, it is a promise to pay and its value is only as good as the promise behind it.   Today, it's often not even a piece of paper, rather its a bookkeeper's entry in a computer-generated ledger that exist only in that make believe land called cyberspace.   At the risk of repeating myself: Its value is only as good as the promise behind it. 

Fiat money is a major tool of the moneyed elite who are in control of and dominate our so-called free country.  It's the dominator- manipulators' way of creating slaves -- economic slaves -- economic slaves who think they are free.   Remember the golden rule -- "He who controls the gold rules."

Fiat money is a great con artist tool because those who control the government can arbitrarily increase its quantity by printing as much as they want or simply add numbers in a computer ledger.   In so doing, they manipulate its value;  they spend it without first earning it,  steal the value out of it,  secretly raise taxes with it, and manipulate the public with it.  

Federal Reserve:   I realize that most people will consider me to be another wacko lunatic for saying what I'm about to say, but  here it is anyway.  The Federal Reserve is the greatest, most-lucrative, longest-lasting financial swindle the world has ever seen.**   And fiat money is at the core if this swindle!   Since its inception on December 22, 1913, literally trillions (that's thousand of billions)  of dollars have been transferred from the public treasury to private banking interests.   (The law requires that the interest paid to the twelve private banks had to be pain in gold.)   This swindle is still going on right now, today  even though the facts about this scam are easily accessible, public knowledge.

I'll simply ask you one question and then your answer to that question will give you clue number one about what's really going on with the Federal Reserve.   The Federal reserve is made up of twelve privately owned Banks.   Where did these twelve private banks get the trillions of dollars they have loaned to the U. S. government -- the trillions of dollars on which you and I are paying interest to these banks?   

PFA as some would say; plucked from air.   They didn't and they don't have billions to loan.    They are charging you and me  real interest on make believe money.   Billions of your real, hard-earned,  tax dollars are are being funneled into the coffers of these private banks to pay interest on an Alice in Wonderland, fairytale loan.

This swindle could never be pulled of in a monetary system based on real money.   To steal your money was the major reason the manipulators eliminated the gold standard as a basis for monetary value.   And rumor has it that President John Kennedy was murdered because he was about to put an end to this "fleecing of the lambs."

The United States Constitution Defines  money as gold and silver.  With real money, one must first have money in order to loan it.   This is not required when loaning fiat money.   Banks loan non-existing money by simply making an entry in their records.  They then charge the borrowers interest for its use.

Imagine, for a moment, a restaurant doing business this way.   You enter the restaurant, sit down, look at the menu and order dinner.   Instead of a real dinner, the waiter brings you a second copy of the menu and a bill for the price of a real meal.   Do you eat the menu, pay the bill and leave, of do you ask, "Where's dinner?"   Perhaps it's time to call a halt to the Federal Reserve scam.

.

** It's almost as good as the the story about the greatest hypocrite in all of creation -- the God of Christian theology.  He preaches love and forgiveness and at the same time holds the longest-lasting grudge in all of creation.  He's still punishing every human being because a long-dead ancestor ate a fruit from a forbidden tree.   Wouldn't you think that after all these thousands of years, he could let go of that one little mistake.

Then He goes on to torture and murder his own son to prove to us how much he loves us.  And millions of us simply buy these stories without even so much as a raised eyebrow.

But then, if thirty percent of the population can still be duped into smoking death-dealing cigarettes, what can you expect.   Perhaps it's time to step out of our "sheep mentality" and actually look at what we as individuals and as a society are doing to ourselves and to each other.

Inflation:

If you can't steal the money, 
steal the value out of the money.

Inflation is the loss in value of Fiat Money.   It has two and only two causes:
     1) Deficit government spending 
     2) The interest charged of the "borrowed money."

Commonly, people say the price of such and such a product has risen.   This is not true!   What actually happened is the value of the money has gone down.   But don't expect those in charge of the education or the monetary systems to tell you the truth.   This is just one very minor, very simple example of control by deception and miseducation.    

Eisenhower's Economic Con:   In the 1950's President Eisenhower made a bid public hoopla  about trying to find the cause of inflation.   He said he had hired the best economic experts he could find and none of them could figure out what caused inflation.   The public bought the scam without so much as a whimper.   Today, they are still peddling the same scam, only now they are not so blatant about it.   Let's examine this con game more closely.

An Economic Analogy:   Think of the economy as a very large auction house with many sellers and many buyers.   Imagine an auction house that sells food, clothing, and shelter.   Imagine that the buyers are like the average person in that they have a rather limited amount of money to spend.   The prices of the items sold will be rather stable and everyone has a reasonable equal opportunity to purchase items.   Buyers will select the items they want and bid on those items.   

The auction house sellers have a the choice of creating and selling a rather large supply of a wide variety of goods and services.   The overall capacity of the auction house sellers  to create and sell products has its limits so the sellers in the auction house chooses to sell the goods and services that bring them the most profit.   

Let's add an example:   Among the million of items for sale in this auction house, let's focus on a sixteen-ounce, loaf of bread.   At the moment, the sellers are willing to put their time, effort, and resources into baking and selling  bread at nineteen cents a loaf.   The buyer are willing to pay nineteen cents a loaf, so everyone gets to buy as much bread as they want at nineteen cents a loaf.   Everything is fine.

Now imagine one group of people in the auction house suddenly  having a lot more money to spend than everybody else.   Two things start to happen.   First, they will begin buying more goods and services.  The Law of Supply and Demand tells us that if the supply stays the same and the demand increases,  the price will rise.  Second, a wise seller will come along and in looking for a way to make more money,  he'll put his bread in a bag and say,  "My bread is better than everyone else's, and I'm selling it for only 25¢ per loaf."   The advertising and the bag cost him a penny more per loaf but his higher price gives him a net gain of 5¢ per loaf.    

Those with the extra money will start buying what they are told in the better bread at 25¢ per loaf.   Pretty soon other sellers follow suit and when the market stabilizes again, everyone winds up paying 23¢ a loaf for bread.  All buyer are now paying not only for the bread, they are paying for the bag and for a bunch on image peddlers telling everyone that this or that loaf of bread is better.   

Because the wealthy people are inclined to bid more for the item than those who have a lesser amount of money,  the above principle applies to all goods and services, particularly for products that have a limited supply such as land and houses   As a result, everything ends up being sold at a higher price.   

The Producer of Inflation:   In the above example, the government agents are the people that suddenly have all this extra money to spend.   Because they control the fiat money supply, they just declared themselves to have more money.  They say they borrowed it.   When the government "borrows" money and spends it, it is not actually borrowing anything.   It is simply, arbitrarily, increasing the fiat money supply and dumping it into the auction house.   

The resultant rise in prices is called inflation.  What inflation actually does is take the value out of fiat money.   For example, a sixteen ounce loaf of bread that cost nineteen cents in 1950 now (in 2005) cost anywhere from a dollar to two dollars.   The relative value of goods and services, when compared with each other, has remained rather stable.   What has drastically changed is the value of money.   So the next time someone tells you the price of such and such product has risen, you'll know that really what has happened is that the value of your money has gone down again.   Those who control your government have applied an age old con artist trick:   

If you can't steal the money, 
steal the value out of the money.

Bush Secretly Stealing Your Money.   Here's another thing that most people don't understand.   Under our present economic circumstance  (March 2005)  the average person is finding it much harder to be financially solvent, to make ends meet, to pay all his/her bills.   Why?   Again it goes back to the government deficit financing.   You and I are paying higher prices, opportunities are fewer, jobs are paying less, and all the rest of our economic wows are the indirect and thus hidden result of Bush and his cronies deficit spending the 500 billion dollars a year that they don't have.   

Why does the Economy look good?   Because  Bush and company are pumping 500 billion make-believe dollars every year into the section of the economy that manufactures  military hardware and other tools of destruction.    Teachers, health care workers, the elderly, the general public, and you and I are simply left out of the loop.

Is Money Evil?

The teaching that money is evil is a tool that manipulator organizations use  to maintain both the wealth and control over the masses.   Can you imagine God living in poverty because joy, the affluence, and the freedom that comes with having money are evil.   

Look at those who are preaching that money (more accurately, the love of money)   is evil.   Do you see any of them wearing rags and digging in garbage cans for food.  The Roman Catholic Church, one of the most adamant equators of money with evil, is, itself, one of the wealthiest organizations in the world.  

Perhaps it's time for Christians to take back Christianity.°
