Money

There are thousands upon thousands of such stories of wasteful politically motivated spending, this one motivated this post.

Much of the spending that has taken place globally for the last several decades has been with borrowed money. This is simply because politicians are, for the most part, worms that do not have the integrity to demand an increase in the rates the taxpayers pay. They know they’ll get booted from office at the next election. Yet if they don’t make grandiose campaign promises, and if they don’t help out their buddies, you know, the one’s that gave them the money to get elected, then they won’t feel as ‘important’ as they think they ought to feel and furthermore, there are up and coming politicians who WILL do it, so in order to compete with them they choose to do it.

The reality is, we should be associating politicians with janitors — equating them the same social status –some have ended up as such after their political careers went into the toilet. But instead we treat politicians as great entrepreneurs, we treat them as great men and women – but what have they done that is so great? Nothing at all. They managed to convince (perhaps bribe) a few people to invest in their campaigns for possible future returns – this is what an entrepreneur does at the beginning, but a real entrepreneur isn’t considered great unless he succeeds at producing something of value for society. The key word here however is producing, for politicians NEVER produce anything of value, they confiscate (steal) money from one group and give it to another – with such an inauspicious beginning, how could anything developing from it get better? It doesn’t.

Unfortunately, politicians are addicted to their position. They never earned anything by really producing something. The only way they can hang onto the fame and fortune of the office is to cheat and, so, cheat they do. Instead of demanding that voters/taxpayers pay more for what’s on offer, they borrow the money needed to fulfill their promises. Ultimately this leads to an increase in, and the devaluing of, the money supply, which, the government generally has a monopoly over. The result is that the poor are destroyed and, not being able to buy even a loaf of bread, they must turn to thievery themselves in order to survive.

The only honest answer is to take the power back from the politicians and to shutter the government, either one chunk at a time as Ron Paul suggests or all at once, but in any case, it’s literally THE ONLY HONEST ANSWER. Every other solution, will only see more of the same and the problems made worse.

The SYSTEM itself is broken. Why struggle to mend a dead horse? It’s dead. Mourn if you wish, but MOVE ON.

The real Italian mob has finally taken control of Italy. With the rise of “Super Mario”, Mario Milton, and his appointment of banksters into his cabinet, the banksters have finally established themselves as overt oligarchs in preparation for the final raid on the Italian fiat monetary system as Italy rapidly moves toward insolvency.

I haven’t posted here for quite a while. . .and my libertarian semi-futurist magazine “The Libertarian” is practically dead — by the way if anyone wants to get involved in any Earth Society projects, please contact me — So what have I been doing with my time?

I’ve been working to build a platform for global Agorism. After many months of work, the foundation of this project has been released. It is an Operating System that’s highly secure and runs an I2P router for each individual that uses it –also uses the Tor network for surfing the existing Internet.

As more and more people make this OS their way of surfing the web, they’ll also be taking part in the growth of the I2P alternative network.

As the number of PC’s in the world greatly outnumbers the number of regular Internet routers, we can potentially grow to outpower the existing Internet itself. Provided YOU want a free market distributed Internet that none can control. . .do YOU?

If so, share this info and let people know that by using this OS, they can take part in a revolution that requires no politicians and will cement our freedom of speech forevermore.

From the project website:

AnonymOS 1.0.3 Released

Remember remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot…

This Fifth of November, celebrate your freedom with a new operating system! One that supports real anonymity and hence real freedom!

You can now download AnonymOS 1.0.3 for free!

Please support this project in any way you can! A huge amount of work has gone into it, and many more additions are planned: advanced web hosting, system development, and basic surfing versions!

Thanks to everyone for your support!

Had a peek on google trends site today and discovered that Bitcoin has overtaken the Federal Reserve in terms of keywords searched on Google. Surely this isn’t good news for the bankers of the world.

Nice short vid explaining how bitcoin, like the Internet, is a game changing technology.

An inspiring proof of concept. Interview by James Corbett.

While it’s unlikely to maintain this title in the short term as it’s ascension has been very rapid, despite future drops, the fundamentals of bitcoin make it one of the rarest commonly traded commodities on the planet.

Jim makes some powerful statements on China versus the USA in terms of free markets.

Removal of liberties creates a less secure investment climate that in turn causes economic decline and increased poverty, in turn this leads to poor health & diet and hence, an increase in the mortality rate.

There is a direct link between poverty and the mortality rates. Government inflationary policies are eugenic as they impoverish the middle and lower class leading to an increased death rate.

Those who qualify as “Politically Exposed Persons”, are allowed by Paypal, to hide their identity from the public eye.

From Paypal’s website:

Why would Paypal do this? I’m not sure if Paypal is required by some law to do this (although I suspect not), but the obvious point is that such privileges are ripe for abuse – and honestly, of course such protection is being used for evil purposes – let’s not kid ourselves.

I’d like to know if there is a law forcing Paypal to do this, if not, then it appears Paypal is giving privilege in exchange for favors. Paypal has shown itself, to me, to be a lousy company with very poor customer service. They get away with bad service because they hold a monopoly on the particular service they offer – the ability to exchange money via email. The governments of the world seem content to tolerate this monopoly, perhaps there is a reason why?

To my mind, this is the definition of Fascism.

Stefan and Adam run a gag relating to Stef’s earlier-in-the-week short video on the US government deficit debate. Later in the episode, Adam interviews a well known tax resistor to discuss techniques of resistance.

This short video puts the numbers into perspective, such that every sane person should be able to grasp the enormity of the problem.

I would be incredibly embarrassed as a judge for not having thrown this case out from the beginning. What a fool! This will surely be thrown out on appeal and the judge who presided this case is going to be remembered in history as an idiot. The FBI agent should be fired and the prosecuting attorneys disbarred.

As I’ve reported many times before (I’ve been encouraging people to buy silver since it was $7-$8/ounce) Silver is the greatest long term investment of our age. Like gold it is a real form of money. Unlike gold, it is vastly undervalued. I never thought I’d want to thank J.P. Morgan for anything, but thanks guys, you’ve helped me tremendously by shorting silver to such a massive extent that you’re even bankrupting yourselves. Cheers.

Recommendation: Don’t sell it. Not next month, not next year, not for a decade, not ever for paper – never again. Trade it if you need – use it as money. But do not, by any means, use it to repurchase paper money.

After the collapse of the Bretton Woods Agreement, the only thing backing paper money was the good faith people had in their government to effectively manage the currency for the best long term interests of all people. Of course, this is not what government does. Despite, or because of, the democratic process, the government is filled with self interested people who do not understand Natural Law, let alone concern themselves with the long term consequences, of the laws and regulations they pass, on all of society. Consequences that ultimately are harmful to these ignorant politicians themselves.

The best recourse for humanity is to reclaim sound money. Money is our means for trade. So long as governments can print it, bypassing democracy, to pay their bills and fund their short term interests, then there is no future for humanity. Not for any of us. Reclaiming real money is key to correcting the problem. So buy it, don’t sell it. Don’t speculate on the price. It doesn’t matter the price of silver, just keep buying it as you can. Convert paper into silver until you can no longer convert it. Then use it as money.

I know it’s not as convenient as paper or electronic bits, but that shall change soon. Watch and wait. A new currency is coming, 100% backed by silver, and globally and anonymously transferable without any middlemen.

Game over governments, you lose.
