Prologue:
With every human being who is forced into unemployment
followed by homelessness, a hole is torn into value-facade of money as the
creative and productive capacity of society is diminished. Likewise with every soldier who is
killed in war, or family member who dies for lack of health care or food, the
value of money is being shredded further, and further. In the same manner for every acre of
farmland that is planted for biofuel, for the burning of food in cars, the shredded
tangles become torn evermore, all the way to the point that nothing in the financial world
represents anything of value anymore and civilization dies.
Thus, by the force of looting, the collapse of the
monetarist system is self-assured. It cannot be saved. Only civilization can
be saved. Of course that means scrapping the private monetarist system and
replacing it with a national credit system that is NOT focused on looting
the creative and productive capacity of society, but IS focused on advancing
it, enriching it, and strengthening it.
The world-renowned American statesman and economist, said emphatically
in one of his webcasts "we don't fight against something, we fight for
something." One simply cannot fight against insanity. One can only fight
for sanity.
Sanity is intelligence. It is the substance of the universe, the universal
cause, the creative intellect, the productive animus, the heart of our humanity.
Insanity is a negation. It is self-denial. It is the denial of the principle of the
universe. It is a darkness! But darkness is nothing more than the absence of light.
One
cannot fight against darkness, but one can fight to bring light back into the world.
Let me illustrate this with an example. Darkness results when the light goes
out. The thief hides in the shadow, breaks in at the midnight hour, robs people
while they are asleep or are weary. The oligarch creates the desired darkness artificially.
He steals the 'sun,' the light of our humanity, spreading the sophistry of
insanity, the sophistication of lies across the world.
The oligarch lives in the hell-holes of
secret societies with many different names: the Masionic Lodges, the
Bilderburgers, the Skull and Bones, the Illuminati, the Fondi, the Neocons, the
New World Order -- a collection of satanic cults of countless varieties -- but they all have one
characteristic in common, they depend on the darkness of secrecy, the rule of
lies, the brutality of fascism, and so on. They depend on the darkness of
secrecy because the light of human reason and cultural development would expose
the lies that they live and their emptiness and the darkness of their empty hearts. The light
of humanity would thus eradicate
their precarious empires built on insanity. Obviously, this fight for light has
not yet begun to any significant degree.
The darkness of oligarchy as a system is all centered on money,
which the system of darkness defines as a personal estate, a 'property' that can
be horded and be used as a power to control the world, as if money had any intrinsic
substance or even value in itself. But it
doesn't have an intrinsic value.
The more money is stolen from society by the masters of greed and horded
away into unproductive "portfolios", the more valueless it
becomes, because money has no value in itself as it merely reflects the value of society's productive and creative action. Outside of this context money has no
value.
Money is a part of the creative and productive process that builds a
civilization. It is but a link in a long chain that contains many links. It is a
part of a living process that enables human labor to become more productive. The
living process includes machines as tools; industries that utilize the tools to
create products that society needs; and infrastructures that make the process
functional. The living process includes power systems, water systems, transportation systems, housing,
farming, clothing, health care, scientific education, uplifting culture such as
we find reflected in art and music and literature. If a single link is destroyed the chain becomes
dysfunctional. Thereby every part looses its value, including money. And that
is where we are now.
America is a perfect example. It allowed every single
physical link to be broken down, beginning with basic industries, such as its machine tool industry,
all the way to its very heart of culture,
with everything in-between. It is all being diminished, and extensively destroyed
in the most vital cases. It is insanity to assume that money has any value in
this environment, and that civilization can be maintained in it. However, the oligarchy
in its infinite lack of wisdom, lurking in its secret dens of insanity, insists
that money has value by itself and aims to maintain this illusion by force.
That is why we see such insanity as we see it in the oil prices today where a
barrel of oil that costs $3.00 to produce is sold for $103.00. The difference is
pocketed by the masters of empire feeding the oligarchy. They are literally
stealing the world, and they are shouting, "the world is not enough."
They are asking for more, and to get it they aim to set the world on fire with
wars to get total control over everything in order to maximize their looting. They want your blood, your life, and everyone else's too. They
are now reaching out to grab Iran, but with their eyes set on destroying Russia, India, and
China in order to get their hands on these country's resources.
The USA and Europe have already largely been economically destroyed.
According to their own ranting the oligarchy wants to be rulers over a devastated and
depopulated world run by the looting forces of private corporations, or a single
world corporation, all ruled by them, in order that they can dictate the value
of money. But it won't work.
Their plan can't work, because money has no intrinsic value
of its own, but merely reflects the value of society's productive and creative
action. The irony that the oligarchy cannot escape from, or anyone for that
matter, is that for every dollar increase in the price of oil that increases the
looting of society, the action of looting reduces the productive capacity of society and thereby
universally reduces
the value of money. Likewise with every single industry that is being destroyed
or diminished in the flow of greed for universal power, the value of money
becomes diminished.
The world is presently awash
with a vast network of so-called hedge funds that are destroying the productive
capacity of society in a wholesale-type fashion, in a process of draining society's equity
into non-productive coffers. The resulting looting has been so intense that in a
few short years of this destructive insanity the entire world financial system is
collapsing, for the simple reason that the value of money is disintegrating. Trillions of once deemed
valuable assets suddenly can no longer be sold for even pennies on the dollar.
The value of the assets has simply vanished as their physical equivalent has been destroyed.
It is not possible that the current world-financial system that has been totally
emptied of value by globalized looting, can be kept alive. The system is bankrupt.
It is empty. The collapse cannot be prevented by any means, except by dissolving
it pre-emptively in an orderly global bankruptcy reorganization where it becomes
replaced with a real
economic system, a sovereign national credit system that serves the general
welfare of the nation and the world. Apart from this option a non-collapse of
the present system is not possible. The value of its money and financial
aggregates has collapsed. The global financial system has become a system without
value, and to maintain it by force is suicidal. (Obviously, a looting system has
never had any real value to begin with, except the value of an illusion.)
Here is a cute story: Economic Suicide Club Meets in Washington
The monetarist collapse-cycle is self-feeding. As was noted in the prologue:
With every human being who is forced into unemployment
followed by homelessness, a hole is torn into value-facade of money as the
creative and productive capacity of society is diminished. Likewise with every soldier who is
killed in war, or family member who dies for lack of health care or food, the
value of money is being shredded further, and further. In the same manner for every acre of
farmland that is planted for biofuel, for the burning of food in cars, the shredded
tangles become torn evermore, all the way to the point that nothing in the financial world
represents anything of value anymore and civilization dies.
Thus, by the force of looting, the collapse of the monetarist
system is self-assured. It cannot be saved. Only civilization can be saved. Of
course that means scrapping the private monetarist system and replacing it
with a national credit system that is NOT focused on looting the creative and
productive capacity of society, but IS focused on advancing it, enriching it,
and strengthening it.
The here illustrated interrelationship applies to all aspects of civilization and
reflects its currently ongoing collapse. For example, for every single step in the take-down of truth in education,
science, and culture, the value of money becomes further and further torn into tatters
as the creative and productive power of society becomes thereby diminished at
its very core and
trampled into the ground.
Right now the world's money-value system is reduced to mere tatters blowing in the
wind.
The entire global value system is hanging so precariously by a few thin
threads -- and these are getting
weaker under the strain of increasing poverty and crimes, including State-crimes,
all committed for the sake of money -- that the next increase will flood the
world with war-crimes that will likely break
the thin threads in the shadow of the productive capacity of mankind becoming further and further
destroyed. Ironically, the resulting inevitable collapse of society is what the advance of fascism is aiming for in the form of
the presidential campaigns financed by empire to install absolute fascism that is presently still hiding in the
shadows. That is what the Lisbon Treaty is for that promises for Europe a Dictator
President over all the nations of the European Union -- a King-Stooge, a son of the
oligarchy with total war-powers and powers over foreign policy. And even as the
oligarchy demands the European Union Dictatorship Treaty to be
ratified the oligarchy cries that Europe is not enough. It wants more. It wants
the entire world.
Of course, as the value of money is now diminishing evermore, the
oligarchy already cries "the world is not enough." It wants the naked
earth with a dehumanized enslaved mankind grovelling in the dirt as in the
'golden' days of feudalism. Towards this end, depopulation is on the agenda.
Hundreds of biological labs have been commissioned in recent years to develop
biological warfare agents, such as bio-weapons viruses incurring new and incurable diseases. That is
the kind of insanity the author of the Lisbon Treaty is openly
idealizing. He raves about the 'virtues' of reducing civilization to the sate of raw feudalism
unfolding in a New
Dark Age of a largely depopulated Earth as in the 14th Century. NATO is already in the process to be
reformed into a force to accomplish this task, which the oligarchy demands to be
carried out universally.
This is what is presently on the table for society to give its consent to:
the 'ideal' of a world of utter poverty; a sparsely populated world ruled by
money estates and the fascism of world corporatism; a world devoid of
national sovereignty, and individual sovereignty, and even thought-sovereignty. All of
these forms of sovereignty that are so vital to civilization are presently already being
diminished, opening the door to the ever grosser forms of dehumanization that
the masters of empire idealize as a platform that they dream in their stupor will assure their continued existence.
However, none of the presently staged collapse into insanity needs to happen.
Corporatism, fascism, monetarism, and the oligarchy
mastering the game that is destroying civilization, can all be denied a place in
the world. The human
nature that is inherent in all mankind universally is the reflection of the Intelligence of the
universe that is expressed in everything that is real and natural. And this
doesn't include oligarchism in any form or force. The Intelligence
that comes to light as the foundation of the universe is foremost expressed
in the humanity of mankind. Society's needed exit from its presently staged hell is through
the always open door of universal Intelligence,
the door of sanity.
Our exit-door from hell is on the horizon, ready to be opened should society care to let go
of the insanity of seeking its value in money instead of in its productive and
creative potential as human beings.
Once society decides to rebuild the chain
of its civilization in which alone money has any actual value, reflecting the value of
civilization, then society will recognize as a first step that money itself isn't a
natural resource that one digs out of the ground, which therefore one can own or
society can run out of. Money will then be recognized as nothing
more than the expressed reflection of the productive power of society.
On this platform there in no reason why the world should
ever run out of money. Nor is there any reason that one can rationally cite why
society should not get back to the natural value system that reflects the entire chain of civilization functioning as an integrated process.
Once
society heals its heart of the snake-oil poison of oligarchy, there is no reason
why society cannot re-establish the natural expression of its humanity. Right
now society hold on to the snake-oil poison like a monkey holds on to a nut placed
into the Malaysian monkey trap. The trap has a hole large enough for the monkey
to get his hand in, but small enough to prevent the monkey to get its hand back out holding a nut. Thus the monkey remains
trapped by its greed, doomed to become a delicacy on some dinner table.
Nevertheless the path to
freedom is always open for the monkey. It remains open to the last moment. The
monkey only has to let go of the nut. But it won't. It thinks the nut is valuable.
"It's
my nut! I won't let go! "
Fortunately mankind is not a monkey. Mankind has the reflected intelligence that is needed for it to let go of the snake-oil poison of its
oligarchy that is presently latched onto. Mankind has the capacity to declare
the oligarchy bankrupt and put its collapsing value system through a bankruptcy
reorganization in order to save what remains that is of real value to society,
that supports the
productive power of society, and to let the rest go.
That is what LaRouche is proposing with his Homeowner and Bank Protection Act. And he is right, of course, because there is no other approach possible. If
oligarchism is not a power in itself in real terms, but derives whatever power
it claims to have from the consent of society, what point is there in fighting
it? The real task thus is to let it go.
It becomes becomes evident from the above considerations that the essential fight is a fight of mankind with itself, an inner fight for the truth, a fight
for society's self-development as human beings with the sovereign power to step away
from the much heralded status of mankind as helpless underlings, impotent
slaves, or as
"doormats." Sure, that's not an easy thing to do in the political and social environment of
a world of trained underlings, but it definitely possible for society to step out of
this self-strangulation mode.
