Snipped a comprehensive analysis of corporations' wiles but the synthesis misses Lincoln's wisdom - as quoted in: > "I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me > and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... > corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high > places will follow, and the money power of the country will > endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the > people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the > Republic is destroyed." Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 Lincoln is quoted extensively in "The Money Masters" video and his wisdom is effectively elaborated. 8-] >From the synopsis: "THE MONEY MASTERS is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure that rules our nation and the world today."

Then again Bernard Lietaer explains: "My analysis of this question is based on the work of Carl Gustav Jung because he is the only one with a theoretical framework for collective psychology, and money is fundamentally a phenomenon of collective psychology. A key concept Jung uses is the archetype, which can be described as an emotional field that mobilizes people, individually or collectively, in a particular direction. Jung showed that whenever a particular archetype is repressed, two types of shadows emerge, which are polarities of each other. For example, if my higher self - corresponding to the archetype of the King or the Queen - is repressed, I will behave either as a Tyrant or as a Weakling. These two shadows are connected to each other by fear. A Tyrant is tyrannical because he's afraid of appearing weak; a Weakling is afraid of being tyrannical. Only someone with no fear of either one of these shadows can embody the archetype of the King." From: http://www.transaction.net/press/interviews/lietaer0497.html Cheerio... Rex
