Yesterday

I have to wonder what Germany would be like today if Hitler had not turned outward to challenge the world. Would it have been like the middle east? Would the world of just stood back and let him demolish the Jews like the jack ass in Sudan is murdering the Africans in Darfur?

I think I would rather a deflationary depression right now as opposed to an inflationary one. Perhaps my understanding is too simple but the cost of everything is way too high after the expansive late 90s into the 2000s and if the rumours for a reset for the US dollar are real the cost of living is going to have to come down. A lot. Not just in the US but for every country with currency tied to the US dollar. I have no doubt that it is going to be a ride from hell so hang on.

Are you from the US? The Canadian debt is roughly costing us 170 million a day. I have wondered this too, it will be some kind of a kickback for the government with this but I haven't figured it out yet. In total Canada's debt sits around 2 trillion if I remember correctly. Certainly not the number's used on graphs that I have read that discuss deficits and surpluses through out the 90s through the 2000s. I believe they used the 539 billion number or ones close to that. I wonder how important that debt figure is as a determinant in deciding how much money can/could/will be printed for circulation. This could create a situation where the government wouldn't want to remove the debt. In a world where debt is the currency and paper is the representative...where the debt banks carry gives them their leverage for loaning...

This is a paper I've been reading, I am particularly interested in the part that studies the reaction of velocity in terms of currency substitution regarding what might be happening with the SDR. This paper is a little old so its substitutes are not necessarily the same as today but the overall paper is still very enlightening as to how velocity works and its effectors. I wonder if this could interpreted to mean that even with an asset swap of debt for SDR credits, this shouldn't effect velocity itself beyond consumer reaction. This is interesting because it has been explained that the only reason the US outflow sheets for 2009 showed less action then the inflow sheets regardless of the fact that foreign investment declines do not support the inflow numbers is because private injections that are balancing the sheets are obfuscating the outflow reality. This outflow is very evident in the current velocity of M3 at any rate (I have to study all the rest still)if considered under these terms. More later...

I don't know to read this situation in terms of busts and booms but I can tell you it is an IMF manipulated situation and reiterate again leave your gold where it sits. To me, purchasing gold right now is a fools game and all it would do is support this insane international fiat fiasco. If you allow the new found wealth due to the hike in the value of your gold convince you to extend your credit, you'll be in a lot of trouble when reality hits(the bust). And it will. To me, this situation, this lack of confidence scenario, is really nothing much more than media manipulation of the IMF need to jack the price of gold to cover its debt and aid obligations. Done in such a way as to encourage an atmosphere where holders of gold can rake in huge volumes of cash from all the gold standard nuts they can find to sell too for as long as the ride will last. As soon as the IMF and the US finish this credit restructuring the bust will hit and life will resume. I don't think it will be the last government staged boom. I also don't think they will ever go bust. It is the nature of the beast to just rewrite itself. How many rewrites till we get a reasonable working concept? Who knows, I think though the next 20 years of the developments in currency concepts are going to be very revolutionary as compared to today's inferior working concept. Regardless of the fact that fiat money concepts have come and gone, regardless of the fact that we are being told that the value of the current fiat system is next to nill. The real underlying situation behind our global recession has more to do with long term financial obligations at a federal level to secure and develop resources on foreign soil. The obligations involving the aid and loans/credits through the IMF in particular, hence its dilemma. What about the literally trillions of US dollars that have been used fraudulently over the last 30 years or so. Imagine what this alone does to velocity. How much US currency is stashed away just waiting its turn to exchange hands at a most inopportune moment. Trillions upon trillions! The issues with the US currency are with its use, not its intrinsic value. This is being faced squarely in courts all over the world and the ability to do this amongst other foolhardy wealth concentration strategies are being slowly but surely removed. This will likely level the playing field a bit. I'm thinking in terms of over seas accounts, massive volumes of hoarded US currency. In part this is also being dealt with by replacing the paper dollars themselves. To be fair, one must see the abuses that are inherent to a gold standard/gold exchanged backed currency as well. IMO, it is the ability to send any form of currency across borders to procure profit that profligates most of our problems.

I feel like I have said hello to myself.

I watched about Haiti in the beginning with a need to truly understand what had happened to them. To see how bad it was. Now, I do watch a bit here and there because it amazes me to see the amount of aid and money that has gone there and yet I see still see so many people in trouble. I have no doubt that a lot of media is using this to grandstand stories and get viewer's attention but at the same time it is an education in reality. Firstly, in what natural disasters mean to a society and secondly it instills in most that age old need to help, it boosts compassion. It is like watching Hitler tapes. I can hardly do it, I have to make myself. One would ask why we should make ourselves watch it....so we can learn. To never let our government get that much power over us again. What did I learn from Haiti? Well, I learned that if we had a half a dozen retrofitted good sized ships for Doctors Without Border's that hundreds of thousands of hurt people could of been cared for just off shore(just on shore). A floating flotilla of hospitals if you will. Watching this gave me the idea and the gumption to convince a few good friends that this was a good idea, who in turn convinced a few. We'll see where we get with it over the next few years. Better late than never.

We definitely all agree that the intent to concentrate wealth and power is evident. It is going to take vigilance in the next few generations to make sure this financial fraud exposure movement never rests until things are right. To me these global alliances would be harmless, instead fruitful, if all financial gain was removed from them. To me the devil is international trade. This is what gives these groups the ability to function so inappropriately. I am for more domestically consumptive societies. Sure, trade externally where need warrants it. A need based on necessity not profit. This is the totally immoral fully supporting platform for wealth and power concentration. If the redundancies alone where removed from international trade, if all that traded into a country over the border was a product unable to be produced nationally, we could possibly have a situation small enough to deal with that in all fairness the ability to market share properly could actually be attained. If there was no such thing as foreign investment in production or resources, if a country was left to develop itself within its borders, it's currency secure within it's borders, productivity secure within its borders....international trade would have to be a vastly different reality to support this. I can honestly see a need for global communication between all countries to reach a stage in life where we can acceptance and respect for all borders. Profitability on an international scale is preventing this. This is a very acurate term and includes why I find our dependancy on finacial help (debt,welfare,healthcare) to get by so disconcerting. Talk about empowerment. There is a little consideration shown in the evident understanding that just enough breeds productivity and easy debt breeds complacency. That takes some thought to keep the balance in their favour. A balance of a society that feels free. Everyone, given the oportunity wants to experience an advantage. Everyone has taken it at some point, in some way. No one is exempt. It is through the trying on of such an advantage, to experience the bad taste that gets left in your mouth for acting so, for thinking so. This is why we do it, so we learn its wrong. I would guess the reason you did not at first attribute the reason for the advantage as one being due to colour regardless of the attendants purpose would be becuase you are not racist. Your first reaction was one of pleasure, it would be your realization of the other's intent that made you have to consider the colour of a man's skin as the reason. This is slowly changing though, in the last 20 years or so the civilian information highway has given room for massive global realizations and actions. I think this sounds interesting, I'll take a look. I have a problem when it comes to considering labour and the results of it and the need of it. It just fills me with dread to say that I have to agree with the section of the Michael Journal's that deals with labour and production. It is probably the only part I agree with. The concept of the ability for the glazier to profit versus the need for the glazier to profit. Gets me thinking of global surpluss stats and waste. So frustrating!!!! A little soulful Chopin is never inapropriate. You too.

One way to facilitate this could be to establish a board of directors of both municipal government officials and residents who manage a foundation of local businesses that generate revenue geared towards running the county. I would like to see enough revenue generation to replace both federal and provincial funding at the municipal level. I would like to see the amount of tax collected from my municipality that is used to generate said funding collected at the municipal level and used thus. I would like to see hydro initiatives across Canada in every municipality that could sustain themselves off grid and the hydro revenues again collected municipally and used thus. I would like to see the political flexibility that would allow for alternatives such as this. Personally, I believe a society less geared to being financially dependant on federal and provincial handouts with a municipal government equipped to take care of it's county could be much more accessible and transparent. Revenue generation alone from the released taxes and hydro generation (depending on consumption requirements) in smaller communities meets and exceeds existing funding. When I consider my home county in NS with 11,000 residents in terms of budgets/spending control and funding, when I apply this concept, there is more than enough money to take care of all the existing gaps in senior housing, health care, roads and maintenance, education, local food aid and relief. It shows potential for serious improvements of standards of living and green initiatives. Shows major promise for long term tax cuts at our municipal level for the county residents. The reality of the dispersion of Canadian communities, as much as 2/3 of our land consists of perfect areas to apply this type of municipal structure. PS On a different note, the little political test labeled me as a centrist. I do sound like a centrist. Maybe finally I am on the way to being able to put an accurate political definition of myself on the table.

For me, it is not that the definition of the word conspiracy discounts the use of it in this situation. It is that to use this word instead of terms like unsavoury business strategies takes away from the legitimacy of the claim. These types of situations are not new, they are the norm and have been so forever. Strategies are almost always kept close to the chest. That is what makes it fun to figure out. This is also what makes it important to do your research before getting involved with any business. The conspiracy involved with this(anything covered here so far) is actually strategy and would likely be paid more attention to if not slurred by such a word as conspiracy. Conspiracy is linked to nut jobs and such. Not necessarily justifiably but this is the way it is. Strategies almost always get figured out...another fact of life.

E-Gold, incorporated through Nevis Incorporation in Nevis. Nevis being part of Amerincorporation, iIncorporation, Ameritrade...CIM/CMKM. No TIEAS, total secrecy. I'd of been happier to find E-Gold in the BVI or somewhere else where TIEAS are common and welcome.

I think it could streamline things, I honestly think it would less of a task force to deal with each region independently. Much cheaper in the long run because of an ability to create a much smaller more connected level of bureaucracy. Really, all I am proposing is a responsibility shift. I think having our taxes solely collected on a municipal level puts the accountability for expenditure on a level of government we have actual access too. It could deal with all kinds of things like voter apathy, I would more inclined to vote on a tax budget for my municipality than for some remote Federal jackass that is so far removed from me that my opinion never even reaches their desk. Let someone who lives here run our financial show and commitments. Personally, we could shrink a lot of Federal offices if we did this and replace them with half as many placed where they can be effective. I would like to see our municipal government get every penny of tax collected from every one of it's constituents. I would like to see our Mayor dole out welfare, health care, roads and maintenance, everything our tax dollars need to pay for. A yearly budget referendum, most people would vote in this context. I'd like to see how it would pan out financially, I would like our Mayor to have the option to reduce income tax on its constituents if possible because of good fiscal budgeting. There are times when concentrating remote leadership definitely helps to reduce redundancy but sometimes it can also cause a waste. Especially when the leaders are so far removed from what they are deciding about. Sometimes the big picture leaves out too many small details. Are there any templates out there that either describe a system built in reverse like this or show an actual society that did this?

Of course, first reaction from any good citizen group would be/is too help. But dammit Argus, you make some good points. I have to wonder how much of this aid money will actually be used for the people. I myself have to contribute somehow to aid these people but I will do my research first to make sure my contribution will get used properly. I wouldn't depend so much on any of our governments to ensure so themselves. Pakistan is better off than the picture painted by focusing on it's citizens but it is a heavily concentrated wealth and I wonder given this, if the infrastructure that should of been present to cope with this just wasn't there regardless of how it looked before the disaster. It is always important to try and ensure how aid funds are handled. There is not such a good track record for agencies or recieving/giving governments in handling said monies.

I have to agree with both Jack and TB on this one, in fact couldn't of said it better. Really, if we didn't allow free speech we would never know what all these hateful crackpots would be thinking, feeling, contemplating. Now that would be scary. A squeaky wheel gets grease for many reasons.

IMO the Federal government should only have access to funding for military expenses. Above that the only money they get their hands on would be their paychecks. I would like to see the budgets and tax collections handled at a municipal level. Provincial level would handle the organizational affairs of things like hydro, healthcare and receive funding from the municipal level...municipal could cover all other infrasrtucture fronts. Area by area a yearly vote on tax collection and spenditure. Smaller groups defining needs...imagine how this could streamline expenditures.

OK, so China has been unlinked for a long time and just artificially low. In fact the only countries I found linked to any metal was Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Not IMF basket contenders so on we go. Doing a quick perusal last night for any hints of any type of new national/international currency aside from the Amero and all I could find was SDR references that added up to anything being staged to function as a currency but alas, with the IMF linked currencies are a no-no. At least at first glance, but with their new loan policies this clause has been averted for those who wish to be linked and loaned too. However, this does not reflect in membership criteria as of yet. We'll see what they do in Feb. of next year. The exception could be E-Gold. As for Brown's comment on the price of gold and the possible IMF manipulation to back up its debts...mmm. Makes me wonder how many countries owed massive callable payments to them beyond the US. Manipulation of this type could be making it easier for each of those countries to pay up. There are a myriad of reasons why the price of gold has escalated. I've collected some articles and find for the most part that the excuses listed as the reasoning behind the rise in price might for the most part actually be the reactions. Action + reaction = reality of price IMO. Stats seem to show that banks are buying deliverable gold and most regular consumer buyers are left buying stocks of gold not even out of the ground yet. MMMmmm. Whats up with this? I realize that banks have to back up there meager reserves with gold reserves but this does not explain the whole picture... I want to consider E-Gold http://www.financial-spread-betting.com/E-gold.html and other forms of this type of program offering the ability to work in gold standard by buying gold from them with fiat money, essentially converting fiat money to gold and offering a substantial market of companies who have also participated who prefer to operate under the gold standard. To me, this is the birth of returning to gold standard. I have to wonder how prevalent this type of organization is going to be in the coming years. Does this have the potential to be an international settlement agency? Interesting. So what is this/was this weak push by China, France, Russia and a few others to have an international currency backed in gold...it seems as if this has died on the table without even being seriously considered. I wonder if soon, if not already, there are bank platforms of the E-Gold type in the making...this deserves some scrutiny. On a side note though, I did notice that more than just a few countries and I believe the Euro too are exchanging some of their paper notes for coinage. This however does not seem to be a metal backed strategy but one geared towards fending off fraud. I notice in the US they are sticking to just different paper with heightened security features.

I wonder too sometimes what it would be like if we all got to keep our taxes and just worked municipally with funding infrastructure needs. I honestly bet it would lessen the personal contribution levels needed, I do agree that to some extent, if not a lot of extent, that we could spend collected money better. As for lowering taxes and government deficit...if I remember correctly the deficit was reduced during the 90s by some 100 billion and since then it has been re-spent and more. Tax cuts were not what allowed the deficit repayment, neither will they now. On the other hand...tax collection was not what allowed the repayment in the first place. From what I've read so far taxes have more to do with yearly budgets and GDP growth is what affects the deficit.

This is a compilation of everything I have read in the last week. It is a lot, I feel like it would take a blog tocover everything I want to talk about...there are so many of them already. So far as I can figure...it is the SDR that could be the new international currency as rumoured but what interests me right now is the fact that member standings are not going to be readjusted till next year. If it is the SDR it won't happen till then IMO. As for it being linked...China is to silver right? What is India's position regarding a linked currency? This is what I am studying next. The way I see it, if we are going to ever end up with metal/bi-metal linked currency it will start with the SDR being represented by linked currencies...more on this later.

Not knowing why...well maybe if true, but in Poland when the planeload of politicians and such crashed and everyone died...on Polish forum boards this vaccine was fore front and center as one of the reasons for the massive execution. That Poland had refused the vaccine and really upset members of the EU and the UN by doing so. It was said that the IMF had tried to make it a condition on their bailout. I have not confirmed it but I wonder. In this day and age anything is possible. This coupled with the PM there not wanting to allow for open communication and finance with Germany, or Russia for that matter. This guy did not like the rules so they got rid of him. Apparently, rules including the flu vaccine. Why? I am not going to fight the fact that I said this with anyone. It is ok that some want it and also that some don't. I do not and have never had one. Aren't you glad I can't infect you through the computer?

Hi Maple, I am not suggesting they are not doing this....everything I posted just shows that it is not a conspiracy, maybe in the beginning but now everyone knows. Slowly but surely it is all becoming public knowledge. Just don't vote McCain if he runs!!!! I think more than anything, people, enough people, just didn't realize before now how important it is to pay attention. Have some faith, (not religious) that even though a few people were clever enough to get away with some of this stupid stuff, the world is in a revolution and won't rest until it's safe to do so. This is just getting started, this global public knowledge...we, the average citizens of most if not all countries are not happy. This movement has a grounding in reality where as most monetary/political policies don't. Look, in 2002 there was a massive global settlement with more than 10 of the biggest banks and brokerage houses in the US. This spilled over into more than a dozen countries since then. One thing to note is that even though that settlement happened for 1.6 billion dollars plus, since then, those same banks have been charged again and again. So far more than a trillion in fines for such entities. This is the infamous Bush cabal funding machine according to alternative media that we are seeing disassembled(not gone but rewritten and restricted, we used and still want to use these entities). Good for us, good for the men and women who have worked so hard to do this. People have died to bring this public!!!! As for the settlement being non-prosecution agreements...welcome to the whistleblower clauses and confessionary leniency. This is fine for now, we can get them good on their next transgression, and someone will be watching for it. Rome was not built in a day and Hitler's regime was not destroyed in a day. This is far from over but we are not going anywhere and now know without a doubt that we need to be vigilant and never take our eyes of our parliament or the world for that matter. No more complacency eh? Read the policies...learn what they are doing....learn what they did...never stop. Their ability to hide things is getting less and less!!!!!!! I love it!!!!

Thanks Pliny, this is interesting. The 'Politician Backpeddle', should be the name of a dance....intestate commerce...health care(oops I mean insurance, oops again I mean tax ).
