While I agree that the economic systems need change what he is proposing is unworkable. The same people who are in charge now beginning to print and mint money will simply result in more theft and corruption.
I hate to sound like a new age-er or God Forbid, some wall-eyed Marshy Effect mush brain, but the only way for things to change is for the PEOPLE who run things to change and that is unlikely to happen as those in power got there, with all its wealth and perks by using the existing systems. They are not going to dismantle the system that made them rich and powerful to begin with, and no amount of Domes with sleeping sidhas are going to change the politicians and Wall Street bankers awareness. I also dislike it when people try to shore up their ideas by playing fast and loose with the historical record. The truth is the monetary systems of ancient Rome were much more complex and changed from time to time according to the needs of the rulers. Do a little research and you will see that his portrayal of ancient Rome as a fine, moral upstanding monetary system that served the people is at least too simplistic and in fact wrong. The monetary system of those times allowed whoever could acquire the most money to by power, influence and protection from the army, just like today. ________________________________ From: Bhairitu <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 19, 2013 12:45 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Detroit Files for Bankruptcy That's why we want "a government of the people and for the people" not "a government for the corporations and by the corporations." The latter is what is happening and is known as "Neo-Liberalsim" or "corporate communism". The main thing I liked about his documentary was tracing through history how the rich keep wanting to control the populace through money starting with Rome as an example. You might want to check out his web site and his forum where these things are discussed. http://secretofoz.billstill.com/ What is money after all other than a way to do trade conveniently. If we were doing barter then you run into a situation where Bill has something you want but Bill doesn't want what you have in trade but he wants what Jim has to trade and Jim wants what you have. Gets complicated so instead we give credits in terms of money to make these exchanges easier. That's all money is. It doesn't need to be a representation of some rare precious metal. You need some official organization to make sure that money isn't counterfeit and that a good role for government when run by the people and not the rich. I got a kick out of that former gold trader saying that at the end of the week the people at the gold trading office still wanted to be paid in paper. Here's a video where the host interviews a woman, Susanne Posel, who is exposing what the banks are up to stealing people's homes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VPR37kY_UQ Posel's web site: http://www.occupycorporatism.com/ The big anti Agenda 21 activist is Rosa Koire, a liberal from Sonoma (where Willy wants to move). http://www.democratsagainstunagenda21.com/ Personally I always thought that Agenda 21 looked like a "cluster fuck" that happens when a committee puts outrageous things in a report to see if the other members of their organization actually reads it. Apparently some cities are taking it seriously. BTW, Shemp was quite a character. He was elsewhere on the Internet under his real name especially stirring things up in the comments sections on HuffPo. He had a web site as a "financial advisor" and it sounded like right before he split from FFL his home was underwater which would not be good if you are trying to sell "financial advice." Personally I always found posting limits silly and a sign that TM wasn't working for some people if they couldn't handle the traffic on FFL. There were just some people who Twitter would have been a better format (and probably still so). ;-) On 07/18/2013 07:26 PM, Michael Jackson wrote: > Its an interesting documentary with a major flaw - he seems to think the > answer to all problems is for the US government to start issuing our own > money again, but as he points out in the film, its not how much money there > is but who controls it - if we were to switch to the system he proposes, who > would be in charge of the mint and the printing press - Al Greenspan?
