Inside The Federal Reserve: "Money For Nothing" - The Full Movie
Nearly 100 years after its creation, the power of the U.S. Federal Reserve has never been greater. Markets and governments around the world hold their breath in anticipation of the Fed Chair's every word. Yet the average person knows very little about the most powerful - and least understood - financial institution on earth. "Money For Nothing" is the first film to take viewers inside the Fed and reveal the impact of Fed policies - past, present, and future - on our lives. Join current and former Fed officials as they debate the critics, and each other, about the decisions that helped lead the global financial system to the brink of collapse in 2008. And why we might be headed there again...
t is perhaps a testament to the ability of the oligarchy (that 1% which owns some 50% of all US assets), as we noted previously, to distract and distort newsflow from what really matters, that a century after the creation of the Federal Reserve, the vast majority of Americans are still unfamiliar with the most important institution in the history of the US - an institution that unlike the government is not accountable to the people (if only as prescribed on a piece of rapidly amortizing paper), but merely to a few banker stakeholders as Bernanke's and Yellen's actions over the past six years have demonstrated beyond any doubt. It is for their benefit that Jim Bruce's groundbreaking movie "Money for Nothing" is a must see, although we would urge everyone else, including those frequent Zero Hedge readers well-versed in the inner workings of the Fed, to take the two hours and recall just who the real enemy of the people truly is.
A quick note on producer, director and writer Jim Bruce. While Jim has been a student of financial markets for over a decade, and began writing a newsletter in 2006 warning about the oncoming financial crisis, what is perhaps most notable is that it was his short trades in 2007 and 2008 that helped finance a significant portion of Money For Nothing’s budget.
However, most impressive is Bruce's ability to bring together such a broad and insightful cast which includes both current and former Fed members, as well as some of the most outspoken Fed critics, among which:
- Paul Volcker
- Janet Yellen
- Alice Rivlin
- Alan Blinder
- Richard Fisher
- Thomas Hoenig
- Jeffrey Lacker
- Jim Grant
- Allan Meltzer
- Raghuram Rajan
- Charles Plosser
- Tony Boeckh
- Jeremy Grantham
- Todd Harrison
... and many others.
From the film's official website:
MONEY FOR NOTHING is a feature-length documentary about the Federal Reserve - made by a Team of AFI, Sundance, and Academy Award winners – that seeks to unveil America’s central bank and its impact on our economy and our society.
Current and former top economists, financial historians, and investors and traders provide unprecedented access and take viewers behind the curtain to debate the future of the world’s most powerful financial institution.
Digging beneath the surface of the 2008 crisis, Money For Nothing is the first film to ask why so many facets of our financial system seemed to self-destruct at the same time. For many economists and senior Fed officials, the answer is clear: the same Fed that put out 2008’s raging financial fire actually helped light the match years before.
As the global financial system continues to falter, the Federal Reserve finds itself at a crossroads. The choices it makes will greatly influence the kind of world our children and grandchildren inherit. How can the Federal Reserve steer our nation toward a more sustainable path? How can the American people – who the Fed was created to serve - influence an institution whose inner workings they may not understand?
The key tenet underlying Money For Nothing is our belief that a more fully and accurately informed public will promote greater accountability and more effective policies from our central bank - no matter the conclusions any individual draws from the film.
Sadly this is where we differ, for it is Zero Hedge's opinion that not only is it now far too late to promote any type of change at the top, but the best policy is to urge the Fed on in its ludicrous policies, in order to lead to the catastrophic culmination of 100 years of disastrous wealth-transfer policies, which unfortunately is the only possible way a cleansing systemic reset - one that would finally eradicate the scourge of central-planning - can be unleashed upon a broken and malfunctioning system in its final throes of status quo existence.
Then again, perhaps there is a chance...
Enjoy The Full Movie... (Jim Grant's words in the first minute alone are worth the price of admission)...

Mr Yellen.....TEAR DOWN THIS BANK
I have been noticing a very disturbing new propaganda by the elites. Its the lie that the top 10% are becoming richer and richer. Yes, not the top 1% but top 10%!
Thats news to me. Almost all research on inequality says its the top 1%, with exorbitant rise of the top 0.1%. Look at net worth distribution by quintiles and it becomes obvious that it is theoretically impossible for top 10% to be thriving in recent years.
With a simple trick, the elites have just converted 9% of their opposition into one of them! And mark my words, these 9% would conveniently be thrown under the bus to placate the masses when SHTF. I have seen this lie being perpetuated on a lot of forums and today it has made its way to ZH as well. Peak propaganda!
(Intended to wake up the average person. This is the first section)
MoneyLet’s start with where money comes from, which is answered more fully if we look at how banks make money:
That last part “No one is allowed to compete with the Federal Reserve.” is the key. It makes all the others possible. Otherwise, we would use whatever money we wanted and Federal Reserve money would be worthless. This is an example of cronyism, and cronyism is at the heart of what is wrong with the government – and the country.
Why don’t we just use whatever money we want and ignore the Fed? As long as both parties in any trade agree, it’s no one else’s business. Right? In a free country, money is a product, and it’s a free country isn’t it?
No. It is not a free country.
As another example related to money, FDR forced all Americans to turn in their gold to the US government, who only paid them $20 per once when gold was worth $35 per once. Of course, FDR is also the one who put all Japanese Americans into a concentration camp …
Force...
Sadly this is where we differ, for it is Zero Hedge's opinion that not only is it now far too late to promote any type of change at the top, but the best policy is to urge the Fed on in its ludicrous policies, in order to lead to the catastrophic culmination of 100 years of disastrous wealth-transfer policies, which unfortunately is the only possible way a cleansing systemic reset - one that would finally eradicate the scourge of central-planning - can be unleashed upon a broken and malfunctioning system in its final throes of status quo existence.
statements like that are one of the main things that drew me to this site in the first place. And this cast of the video doesn't mention Ron Paul. How can you make a real video about the fed like this and not interview him. As vocal as he has been over the years, Im sure he would have made time for this
great post future jim! end of inocence is quit the reads. all true and some reinforcement never hurts the brain, other than what is being read!
so as we degrade to fuedalism again, enjoy the period of ordinary man and woman prosperity.
all of sudden we will wake to a world run by force. think n korea.
that is if we the human species either kill each other or overpopulation gets us first.
some will survive, and that my friend is the good news, ha...
It is crtical whether any who survive carry the Soul of Humanity.
The ancient and ongoing battle is the Soul of Animals desperately trying to exterminate the Soul of Humanity.
I just made extensive updates to The True Nature of Government.
Nut - The top .1% increased their wealth 1000 fold.
The top 1% 100 fold.
The top 10% 10 fold.
the next 80% breakeven or loss.
Bottom 10% consume feces and cease to exist.
BRAVO ZH.
As sung before: "MONEY FOR NOTHING, AND CHECKS FOR FREE"

People of the United States .... TEAR DOWN THIS BANK
I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... http://goo.gl/ezLA00
.
Hang the Bastards who run it.
The people at the FED, while a problem are nothing more than useful idiots. Probably even JPM/Sachs/DB/BOA/... are all just faceless corporations that do someone's bidding. Who are the owners. Who really gets rich and powerful from all of this. It is conceivable that not even the FED heads really know.
You don't think Obama is in charge of the country, right? Who is? Rumor has it that Valerie Jarret tells him what to do and if he should stand or sit while doing it. You don't honestly think she is the real boss do you?
We need to understand who is the man behind the curtain. We need to find the damned curtain so we can pull it back and reveal the head of the snake. The good lord or providence has given us to know as much as we do for a purpose. We know that we don't know. Our quest is to discover that secret. It is time we started asking the question and get on with the work at hand.
Follow the old money. Offspring of the robber barons would be a good start. But all the .01% are complicit as they benefit accordingly.
Ah, worthy sentiments my friend, but off target. For those looking for a conspiracy I have bad news. Given the great number of differing institutions and corporations estimated at some 6,000 the possibility of them all cooperating in one great goal or objective is not feasible. Ausatrian economics teaches about the 'invisible hand' and 'human action'. These are the real culprits, yes, you and I and all our kin.
Human nature never varies throughout history, thus a study of history will teach lessons for the future which will generally prove true. And so what now? Well, given that Mr Putin has been provoked by the USA under the cover of Europe to manage a defence of the Eastern Ukraine, my guess is the mighty US Military/Industrial Complex will move ordance to the very borders of Latvia et al, asking for a retaliation in kind which will offer cover for the general collapse of the markets as they melt down in short order.
Nothing changes dear Sir, life goes on: 2,000+ civilians dead in E Ukraine, hundreds of thousands in Syria and Iraq, not forgetting the Zionist attacks on Gaza. We live in interesting times, as always. Short the DOW NOW - time has passed.
So does the great Satan make a cameo?
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

You could have stopped at the 'average person knows very little.....'
Enjoy The Full Movie
Yes I am and so far very well done so if just 1% of Americans would do same the Fed would be shut down
I watched it and enjoyed it, however there is a undercurrent the Fed is legit, I view the Fed as treason from day one.
Jim Grant's comments are worth it.
Nixon "don't worry your money will be worth just as much tomorrow as today ". Best laugh in movie.
http://www.thetruthaboutthelaw.com/how-it-is-done-to-you/
Sounds like a Fed cheerleader movie to me.Trying to sell the Fed as a valid entity. All these fraudulent Fed Governors spinning their bullshit...couldn't stomach it.
> Sounds like a Fed cheerleader movie to me.
Idiot view the movie before spewing a comment from your ass !!!
i watched it for him and he is correct.
the fed is the global heart mask of "money for
nothing" and will never be anything other,
and the authority to which is granted
distribution of money and then, financial power.
pretty heady and important stuff. imho
the mask of the shadow power element in
derivative-vile? the global bad bank of only
and last resort, by some kind of "law"?

funny, the movie didn't mention "defense"/war spending
once yet the topics are two sides of the same
con job or central command, circular logic, teasing
insights from desperation and futility; the central
idea being you cannot achieve stability and transition
without balance upon impeccable principles and orientation,
rare as hens teeth.

anyway anymore.
Only half way and see some significant exposing of Greenspan as a hypocrit for espousing deregulation while using a government created monopoly to manipulate, well, the entire world. If the average Joe could only just understand that salient point we wouldd be half way there. The bank has far too much power to manipulate and corrupt and we have far too little power to control it and any Mr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde who may come along. It would be a step in the right direction but sadly there is no hot ass or dancing points of light. We all know the ending is not happy so there is no feel good and the good guys certainly do not blow up the bad guys.
Edit: Just finished. The end presented the forgone conclusion that the FED needs to do better. Greedspank and Bernanke screwed up. So the assumption remains that we need a FED and blah blah screw you all propagand bullshit we're gonna keep raping you until you bleed to death from your buttholes.
bingo.
Perhaps it is unfair to criticize the movie before I watch the whole thing, but if those listed persons are the "critics" of the Fed, then this movie is off base. The only one worth listening to on the list is Jim Grant. The rest of them are Fed proponents who think the Fed can do a better job. There is only one entity that creates booms and busts, and that's the Fed aided by bad government programs and regulation.
you're a joke and did not watch the movie so must work for the Fed and trying to so damage control and failing miserably ;-)
I watched it and you are correct in stating that
"The rest of them are Fed proponents who think the Fed can do a better job."
Exactly right about that. They think they just have to do a better job when it really comes down to, they can't do a better job because they have no idea what they are doing.
When money is free too long we corrupt the system at 1:06:00......yes indeed !
Ben Bernanke sucks Greenspan's dick at 1:13:00 and reaps what he has sown
and Andrea Mitchell says I do it much better ;-)
Let's inject some logic and philosophy even if it doesn't apply in the hopes that people learn something or learn to reject some lines of thinking.
-
- Søren Kierkegaard suggested that the best use of our capacity for making choices is to freely choose to live a fully human life, rooted in a personal search for values, rather than an external code.[2]
- Jean-Paul Sartre said existentialism is a humanism because it expresses the power of human beings to make freely-willed choices, independent of the influence of religion or society. [3]Unlike traditional humanisms, however, Sartre disavowed any reliance on an essential nature of man – on deriving values from the facts of human nature – but rather saw human value as self-created through undertaking projects in the world: experiments in living.[4]
- Albert Camus, in his book The Plague, suggests that some of us may choose to be heroic, even knowing that it will bring us neither reward nor salvation;[citation needed] and Simone de Beauvoir, in her book The Ethics of Ambiguity, argues that embracing our own personal freedom requires us to fight for the freedoms of all humanity.[5]
The Bernanke put at 1:18:00 with a promise banks will not fail with QE 1 then 2, 3, 4, 5 etc etc so the 2% is ecstatic and 90% of Merica is disenfranchised in one fell swoop
At 1:24:00 since 2000 no new net jobs have been created in America.....it's all a huge ponzi scheme
Naked Capitalism did a post yesterday "The Fed Impedes GAO Audits by Destroying Source Documents", drawing from Robert Auerbach's recent book, "Deception and Abuse at the Fed". Its clear the fed works for the banksters and is above any oversight by our government, and the legislature has no intention of changing that. Laws are for little people.
http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2015/03/fed-impedes-gao-audits-destroying...
At 1:27:50 endless QE is last desparate gamble by the Fed.....this will end well really ;-)
At 1:29:55 Printing money does not produce good and services
www.audit-the-fed.blogspot.com
At 1:30:57 Ron Paul "there is no authority in US Constitution authorizing a central bank which means there should be no Federal Reserve System"
Exactly what Jefferson and Jackson believed. but they weren't banksters like Hamilton who convinced Washington the constitution allowed it. The Fed is the 4th and longest chartered one.
1:33:57 No nation however too powerful is too big to fail
1:35:39 The US has consumed more than it has produced for at least a decade.
But no worries this will end well ;-)
WOW I watched the whole thing and I really take from this that the FED is sorry. Really sorry and they won't do it again. They have all the answers and they will fix everything. Not a word about the current situation and how that will end. Nope. Maybe a hint about collapse but they really don't want to talk about that. Nearly eberyone in this piece is in the FED or worked in the FED.
END THE FED
Take the time and read 'Creature from Jekyll Island'. Vast amount of information in there covering all 4 US central banks and their ramificatitons and who they enrich. I'd make it required reading in H.S. if I could.

Why ask why?
well... my friends this just affirms my feeling that...alas...we are truly FUCKED!!!
Lul! Corzine in shaking Greenspan's hand around 35 mins in. Free Corzine!!
...for target practice.
For the record, I've met and swapped emails with Jim. He said they repeatedly asked Ron Paul to appear and his people declined. Maybe Dr. Paul was a bit apprehensive because it was mostly all Fed people?

"They wanted desperately fix what was going on".
No shit!
Who owns the FED? The bailouters and the bailouted are associates. Like they care about you or America.
I watched the apologetic, dripping in corn syrup, whiney propaganda film for the Federal Reserve titled “money for nothing”. What a bunch of bull-shit filled with a cast of white collar criminals that innocently claim they never saw the criminal bull-shit coming and were not a part of it.
Not once did they mention mortgage fraud and bankster criminal activity or that the derivatives Ponzi scheme involves more money than the entire world assets.
The entire cast of perpetrators in the film should be brought to justice for their roles in the Federal Reserve’s actions and expose how they profited by those actions.
The propaganda film was one sided and comments are closed on YouTube; typical propaganda and lies with no comment.
End the Federal Reserve, prosecute the bankster criminals and restore America’s Main Street Free Enterprise System of capitalism.
Your comment made me think about this ackward noise I felt all my life, since Highschool, about the very well sold opposite paradigms of Socialism vs Capitalism. It's been a while since we know things aren't so easy, are they?
In reply to TNTARG: I should have also mentioned that the destruction of the Gold Standard that was the regulator of wealth was key in unregulated wealth debt growth by leveraging. Without being tied to earthly gold, the moon was the new limit.
Criminal Greed, debt expansion and the New World Order of the control of money (debt) has always been the bankster’s goal; the return to the Gold Standard will destroy the criminal banksters, not America.
Oh, I should also mention that the criminal banksters will blow up the world via the USA rather than be brought to Justice. End the Federal Reserve.
You just touched upon my worst fears. Rather than face justice and see the world righted, they would destroy it. As the masses become organized and seek to storm the ramparts, their last act will be to impose a strike on Russia, Skynet Style, in a vain attempt to keep them from being strung up here at home.
The most disturbing part of the video is Allan Melter's eyes.
Thanks for the heads up hedgers. Saved me 2 hours of sleep
It was a good video, I think a little slanted towards the need for more Volker type actions at the fed to reign in the speculation. Like good fed bad fed or something.
But it does identify the problem with the sequential bubbles that the fed advertently or inadvertently creates in response to financial crisis. Each crisis is solved by cheaper credit and now we are zero bound so they can't go much lower.
That mountain of debt is piling up behind the real economy that is assumed to service said debt. Even with zero cost credit you still have to repay the damn principle or the loan isn't worth anything right?
.
It's only value would be for clueless sheeple on the street. The film does NOT assign the true criminla culpability on Sandy Weill and Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, Alan Greenspan.
The film does a nice sound track and a history of how the Fed has fucked up... but in a very benevolent way. This is pure Fed (and Investment Bank) propaganda.
Notice Ron Paul's speech is shown like it was at a Nazi party convention.
I found it good as a quick history of the Fed's policies -- something I've never bothered to research before. I've seen some of those names on ZH before but hadn't realized who they all were.
It contained some interesting perspectives, such as that the value of money is basically the faith of the people and that the financial sector is largely parasitic upon the rest of society.
The end was a bit of a let down. There was not much discussion on the present situation. Perhaps they simply ran out of time.
Overall, the video was not as extreme as typical ZH views. More extreme viewpoints were left out.
Stopped watching at 2:35 with Kanjorski's story of the half-trillion dollar electronic run on the banks in a few hours, which even a basic google search exposes as absurd. And the story of the Fed "not knowing" that subprime was a problem had strained credulity to the breaking point already anyhow.
Look, any film with the kind of backing and access that this one has is pushing some agenda of TPTB. I don't even bother taking the bait any more, even to learn what that agenda is.
The drama was over the top for sure, but the points, however incredulous they may seem to you, are totally credible. The largest credit bubble in hsitory has burst and the deflationary collapse awaiting in the not-too-distant-future will surprise everyone in its violent magnitude.
Understanding how a bubble works is key to understanding how the collapse is possible...
http://www.globaldeflationnews.com/anatomy-of-a-bubble-how-the-federal-r...
Understanding that a deflationary depression is unavoidable is also necessary to seeing the bigger picture...
http://www.globaldeflationnews.com/inflation-vs-deflation-part-1which-on...
Yes, yes, the old credit bubble saw. That achieved the status of hackneyed cliche 5 years ago, and is all fine and good so far as it goes--which is never far enough to jail anyone.
This crisis--this ongoing crisis--has been driven from the start by criminal fraud. Elves did not blow those bubbles.
Nor did said elves put that Kanjorski story in there. Since that story is false, why is it in there? For the same exculpatory reason that the credit bubble story doesn't I.D. any perps.
The movie is Fed propaganda disinfo misdirection.
Remind me again why there is interest on the national debt.
Remind me again why trillions sit on conduit bank balance sheets, but nothing for productive capital formation,
Delete the Fed.
Of the electronic bank run: "it would have been the end of the system as we know it".
The system as we knew it, is over. Nothing has been as we knew it, since 2008.
Obviously most folks don't want to bother looking at the past, therefore they won't see the future.
'The Cost of Something For Nothing" was written back in 1904.

It's free for those seeking real answers.
Very interesting film, except perhaps for the last bit which glosses over the past hundred years of disastrous Fed blunders and largely failed policy decisions, making it sound like all those mistakes are in the past and will never be repeated while the current mess will be just fine in the end if only we have faith and trust in the Fed to handle it. BULLSHIT. The Fed needs to be abolished once and for all, it is a failed experiment.
Video completely avoids discussion of the Feds role in stealing America's gold and causing the 30s Depression, according to the Chairman of the House Banking Committee - Rep Louis McFadden 1921-31 and thanks to the web and the Congressional Record, it's now coming out 80 years later.
Banking chairman McFadden exposes the secret members of the Federal Reserve and calls for their arrest - even by name. Other House members were scared shitless and no one joins him in his call of treason and arrest of the Fed.
He is assassinated on their third attempt three years later. These crooks still have 95% of America fooled that these EU Bankers work for the American public as a government agency.
This guy is my hero and there should be a statue of him built. He represents an age when Americans stood up for principal and even sacrificed themselves for it. The house speaker said, "He's done" when he made this speech that you can find in the Congressional Record.
http://www.afn.org/~govern/mcfadden.html
Also there was no mention of the Fed's role in promoting reckless and dangerous leverage or margin loans in 1929 and leverage-based derivatives in 2008 making both bubbles and crashes infinitely worse.
The Fed's creation in 1913 was a useless workaround to a criminal theft scheme called Fractional Reserve Banking. Sen Bronson Cutting promoted it's abolishment but was killed in a suspicious plane crash in the 30s after massive bank runs.
A long list of bank runs resulted from banks spending depositor funds or according to chairman McFadden the Fed simply stole the banks gold and sent it to Europe to fund Hitler it was later discovered.
The European-owned Fed is a criminal theft ring and this video avoids this stark truth.
BATTEN THE HATCHES!!
Advice... Don't waste your time. This is nothing more than an apology for the Fed and those who abused it.

ohhhhhhhhm
Looks to me like this movie is a precursor for American austerity. Can't say we weren't warned. Brace, brace, brace.
I added the documentary above to my list of Excellent Videos on Money Systems. HOWEVER, that documentary starts off with the ridiculous view that "money" is based on faith, when it is actually backed by force. The "money for nothing" is actually an ENFORCED FRAUD! The only way people can trust the banks is due to their profound ignorance.
Superficial analysis leads to superficial "solutions." Money is measurement backed by murder. The ONLY realistic way to change the money system is to change the murder system that backs that money up, and which the money system pays for in return. That is true both over the shorter term, as well as in the longer term. In the shorter term, the international bankers that created the current systems were the biggest gangsters, the banksters, that persistently applied the methods of organized crime to the political processes, so that the system of the legalized counterfeiting of the public "money" supply would be made and maintained. In the longer term, any political economy is inside of the human ecology, and therefore, there must necessarily be some death controls systems. The real death control systems developed through the history of warfare to become based on the maximum possible deceits, and that then became the basis upon which those death controls could back up debt controls in the form of fundamentally fraudulent financial accounting systems, based on ENFORCING FRAUDS.
Governments are NECESSARILY the biggest form of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals. Any other analysis is based on deliberately ignoring the most important facts, and any bogus "solutions" that continue to ignore the most important facts are merely more of the same old bullshit social stories.
All of the "banking panics" were possible inside
of the banksters' systems being already corrupt!
It is almost impossible to exaggerate the degree to which the history of warfare, whose successes were based upon deceits, is the foundation of civilization. In order to attempt to wrap one's head around the concepts that the monetary systems are ENFORCED FRAUDS, one must attempt to imagine the magnitude of the social successes based upon those ENFORCED FRAUDS enable the best professional liars and immaculate hypocrites to become the publicly significant "talking heads." THAT DOCUMENTARY ABOVE IS OVERFLOWING WITH THOSE KINDS OF "TALKING HEADS."
While it initially should be OBVIOUS that "borrowing money" that did not exist until it was "loaned" is flagrant fraud, that violates the basic laws of nature at face value. However, the social successes of that system are much more hyper-complicated, because of the ways that systems of legalized lies CAN be backed up by legalized violence. Furthermore, for generation after generation, people can gradually adapt to become socially successful by participating in flagrant frauds, by being able to develop increasing levels of bullshit rationalizations and justifications of what is really going on!
There is almost nothing but organized crime surrounded by controlled opposition, which is the context in which all of the "talking heads" presented in that documentary above are speaking. The deeper levels of reality of civilization were always the murder systems, operated by militarism, whose social successes were based upon deceits and treacheries. The money system was measurements backed by murders. Since the murders were being done through the maximum possible deceits, that continued to contribute to the exponential growth in the financial systems based on enforced frauds.
Someone who pays attention to the patterns can sort of get used to the ways that whatever the most powerful professional liars and immaculate hypocrites promise will turn into the totally opposite real situation in the future. Furthermore, that pattern appears to have one consistent feature, which is that the more one knows, the worse it gets, because we are looking at runaway exponential growth of systems of ENFORCED FRAUDS, which are due to the basic problem that being able to back up lies with violence is socially successful at the cost of driving society as a whole to become more and more psychotically insane!
AFTER THERE IS A SYSTEM WHEREIN THE PUBLIC "MONEY" SUPPLY CAN BE CREATED OUT OF NOTHING AS DEBTS BY PRIVATELY CONTROLLED BANKS, THEN EVERY POSSIBLE INCENTIVE EXISTS FOR THOSE WHO CAN COMMIT THAT KIND OF "LEGALIZED COUNTERFEITING" TO DO THAT TO THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE DEGREE THAT THEY POSSIBLY COULD!
Unless one directly addresses the issue that the public "money" system is based on ENFORCED FRAUDS, because money is measurement backed by murder, then one continues to deliberately ignore all of the most important facts. Of course, the continued social successes of those ENFORCED FRAUDS depends upon enough people deliberately ignoring the basic facts enough of the time. That are the established systems which are almost nothing but organized crime surrounded by controlled opposition groups. BOTH CONTINUE TO OPERATE WITHIN THE SAME BASIC BULLSHIT FRAME OF REFERENCE!
Since there is almost no publicly significant "opposition" that is not controlled, and so, stays within the same frame of reference of the biggest bullies' bullshit world view, there is almost no publicly significant presentation of the basic facts that money is NECESSARILY measurement backed by murder. Since the social successes of pyramid systems were always based on being able to back up lies with violence, which became more sophisticated systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence (at an inherently exponential rate due to their own structure), the overall accumulated consequences are that system as a whole becomes more psychotically insane, and therefore, headed towards even worse psychotic breakdowns. In my opinion, that documentary ends with bogus "solutions" that are classically nonsensical nostalgia.
P.S.
A lot of the bogey men presented in that documentary were those of the example of Japan. However, to put the Japanese problems in the context of being deliberately driven by the international banksters, I recommend watching this documentary:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Ac7ap_MAY
Princes of the Yen: Central Banks and the Transformation of the Economy
That is an hour & a half long documentary about the monetary system in Japan since WWII, which reveals how experienced reporters and researchers belatedly put the pieces of the puzzle together, that the international banksters had deliberately kicked the shit out of the Japanese economy.
P.P.S.
I will recommend listening to this, to gain some perspective upon the ways the longer term consequences of civilization controlled by triumphantly ENFORCED FRAUDS. Furthermore, I will REPEAT my comments there which attempt to provide some perspective upon the basic problem that society IS controlled by backing up lies by violence, while that is deliberately misrepresented through bullshit psychologizing, which is divorced from the natural environment and natural laws as much as possible, in order to facilitate the continued social successes of enforced frauds, which require that most people do not perceive, and do not want to perceive, the basic facts of life, but rather, are able to indulge in various, temporarily popular, ideological fantasies.

Kurrency Kollapse: To Print or Not To Print?
An 11 minute audio recording, which was
entertaining to macabre sense of humour.
As stated in the last few seconds, starting at the 10:45 mark of the Rant above:
“… we either step away from this oligarchy, and this type of solution, or we are just shit out of luck …”
Clearly, “just shit out of luck” is the only plausible outcome. “Stepping away from this oligarchy,” or the pyramidion people at the top of the established social pyramid systems, in any favourable ways (beyond them getting rid of themselves through collective globalized suicide) would require a series of prodigious political miracles, whereby enough people would be able to agree upon developing better death control systems than the ones that currently exist, which were based upon thousands of years of social successes through being able to back up deceits with destruction, devolving into being able to enforce frauds.
From a sublime point of view, human beings are ALREADY operating as energy systems, which are PERFECTLY conserving the energy that flows through them. The more non-linear functions that enabled those energy systems’ outputs to return as inputs, then the more life and consciousness there is. However, energy systems can not have any structure which does not continue to actually operate through the conservation of energy, which manifests as those systems following their own path of least action, or least resistance. Hence, human energy systems NECESSARILY follow their own paths of least morality. There is nothing which can be done more than that, unless their are existing mechanisms which evolve to create enough resistance to be able to change the path of least resistance. While that is possible to contemplate, from an idealized, abstract point of view, the realization of those potentials only manifest to the degree that actual selection pressures worked to select for those systems to be the ones that survived, by manifesting those mechanisms, in the nicely sublime, perfect paradoxes, regarding the ways that the perception of all energy systems asymptotically approaches the ways that energy is conserved.
Clearly, human beings and human civilizations have actually developed in the ways that they did, to maximize the short-term benefits to be obtained from strip-mining the planet’s natural resources, through an economic system that turned those resources into garbage and pollution as fast as possible, in order to keep the debt slavery treadmills going faster and faster … regardless of the relative abilities of some people to imagine the longer-term consequences from having done that too much, for too long, until the GREAT BOOM based on strip-mining the planet results in the GREAT BUST when the exponential growth based on having been able to do that reached real limits of diminishing returns, like rushing into walls while accelerating as fast as possible, and bouncing off those walls of real limits to the environment, off of cliffs whose bottoms can not know be seen.
From the sublime point of view, energy is still being conserved, despite human civilization collapsing into chaos, and most of the energy which was entangled in non-linear functions in the forms of life and consciousness returns to radiate out at a lower frequency than it originally impinged upon the planet. Human beings, as soon as one perceives them or defines them as separated from their environment, necessarily operate as entropic pumps of energy flows, which can be boiled down to them acting as robbers in their environment. In that way, one begins with SUBTRACTION, by being able to perceive and define human beings as somewhat separated from their environment, after which, then they must obtain energy from their environment to continue living, and those processes of taking energy from their environment are then basically ROBBERY.
That has all become more and more sophisticated through the history of civilization, such that the Privatization of the God transformed into the Privatization of the Environment. Along the way, SUBTRACTION & ROBBERY became private property which could not exist outside of some system of public violence, because private property was based on staking claims, and backing those up with coercions. The most abstract form of that became the monetary and taxation systems, whereby money is measurement backed by murder. During those developments, human energy systems were controlled by their most labile components, which were the most dishonest and violent people, and they directed civilization to develop along the path of least morality, because those were the PERFECT ways that human energy systems NECESSARILY behaved, since they were ALWAYS general energy systems, manifesting the conservation of energy. Overall, that was the history of warfare, in which the social successes of those who survived through those selection pressures promoted the maximum possible deceits and treacheries, which then continued to develop from that kind of human ecology, as social pyramid systems, to become the ENFORCED FRAUDS that dominate the existing political economy, whereby “money” is made out of nothing as debts, in order to “pay” for strip-mining the planet’s natural resources, which debt slavery treadmill has been growing at an exponential rate, to generate numbers which have become debt insanities. The magical “mathematics” of the money-as-debt systems were always fundamentally fraudulent financial accounting, because “money” which can be made out of nothing, as debts, and disappear back to nothing, when those debts disappear, was actually ENFORCED FRAUDS.
NECESSARILY, MONEY IS MEASUREMENT BACKED BY MURDER, BECAUSE THE BASIC WAYS THAT HUMAN BEINGS LIVE ARE THROUGH PROCESSES OF SUBTRACTIONS AND ROBBERIES.
Of course, that has been deliberately misunderstood in the most backward ways possible, since social successes were based on being able to get away with deceits and treacheries, and enforcing frauds. Thus, the biggest bullies’ bullshit language and world view dominated everything through natural languages to the philosophy of science. One of the most abstract ways that manifested was through the way an arbitrary minus sign was inserted into the entropy equations of thermodynamics and information theory, so that would become consistent with the biggest bullies’ world view. Actually, the mathematical physics itself says that every thing that is relatively subtracted from the whole environment has some relatively negative value. That is, all measurements of power and information actually have relative negative values. However, the bullies’ bullshit reversed that, which was akin to SUBTRACTING THE SUBTRACTION.
As progress in physical sciences more and more demonstrated how general energy systems manifested the principle of the conservation of energy, it became clear that time and space were NOT independent absolutes, but rather, interconnected relativities. While that insight resulted in being able to make atomic bombs, that insight otherwise did almost nothing to change the ways that the biggest bullies’ bullshit world view continued to dominate how the vast majority of people thought and behaved.
http://www.finestquotes.com/author_quotes-author-Albert Einstein-page-0.htm
As Albert Einstein said:
“The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.”
However, before that, at first, Einstein (and almost everyone else) did not expect that, since Albert Einstein also said:
“There is not the slightest indication that energy will ever be obtainable from the atom.”
ONE OF THE MOST ASTONISHING THINGS HAS BEEN THE REALITY OF EXPONENTIAL GROWTH.
http://www.albartlett.org/
As Albert Bartlett said:
“The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.”
Overall, human civilization has been on an exponential growth curve of SUBTRACTIONS & ROBBERIES. The current manifestations of those have become globalized electronic monkey money frauds, backed by the threat of force from apes with atomic bombs. The debt slavery systems have been picking up speed, going faster and faster, as systems of ENFORCED FRAUDS, which were “paying” to strip-mine the planet’s natural resources at an exponentially accelerating rate, which processes have only QUITE RECENTLY been running into the real limits of a finite planet, in the form of various diminishing returns … which is provoking “Krazy Kurrency Kollapses,” whose wilder and wilder oscillations have probably only barely begun …
Theoretically, the established human systems must adapt to those changing circumstances. One presumes that eventually they might … However, it is NOT USEFUL in that context to conclude with DUALITIES, that depend upon false fundamental dichotomies, and the related impossible ideals, such as stated in the last few seconds, starting at the 10:45 mark of the Rant above:
“… we either step away from this oligarchy, and this type of solution, or we are just shit out of luck …”
The most realistic view is obviously that “we are just shit out of luck.” However, I would place that in the context of attempting to understand human beings and human civilizations as entropic pumps of energy flows, which includes a radical critique of the concept of entropy, as outlined above. From that point of view, the ONLY possible solutions are to change the death control systems. That IS what is going to happen, because, after life exists, then the death controls direct the evolutionary ecology of that life. The degree to which there has ALREADY been extreme exponential growth, based on strip-mining the planet, which has done such spectacular overshooting, means that there is no doubt that some kind of “die-off” is already unavoidable. The crucial questions are going to revolve around what kinds of mass murders actually occur, and whether or not those could be survived through, and what kinds of groups that do survive through that might become the seeds for some new systems to emerge from those drastic bottleneck events.
If one attempts to take the principle of the conservation as seriously as possible, one develops an understanding based on UNITARY MECHANISMS, rather than on DUALITIES. Furthermore, one rediscovers a re-convergence of post-modernizing science with ancient mysticism, in the sense that ENERGY IS SPIRIT. As I already wrote above, from that sublime point of view, the universe is already perfect, and will continue to be, and we will continue to perfectly participate in that perfection, even if that means that civilization psychotically commits collective suicide (which currently appears as the most probable scenario.)
What I would suggest is that the biggest bullies’ bullshit world view has created a kind of social Bizarro Mirror World, or Wonderland Matrix, where everything appears to be backward and absurd. For instance, as I outlined above, we misunderstand time and space, which includes that we misunderstand the concept of entropy backwards, which means that we understand almost everything else backward too. For instance, the meaning of the word “money” has gradually been inverted and perverted by the development of the MAD Money As Debt systems, backed up by the MAD Mutual Assured Destruction systems. Those kinds of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, manifested through the ENFORCED FRAUDS, which are the current foundation of our entire political economy, always are presenting things which actually have relatively negative values as if those had relative positive values. Hence, OF COURSE, we are like people looking in the mirror who do not understand that everything appears backward in the mirror, and therefore, we are constantly steering in the opposite ways to the ways that we should be steering, because of our absurd misunderstandings of the elementary principles of philosophy and genuine spirituality.
In a sense, because we have Subtracted the Subtraction, without being aware or admitting that! We could Subtract the Subtraction of the Subtraction, to return to what always actually was there ... However, we have gotten so used to looking at the biggest bullies’ bullshit Bizarro Mirror World, where everything appears backwards, that we have an extremely difficult time appreciating the degree to which we were taking for granted the backward ways that we believed everything appeared, and thus, the backward ways that we continued to respond to what we perceived backwards.
To emphasize the heart of that, it is important to recognize that applies throughout the established systems of organized crime, surrounded by controlled opposition. That is, the mainstream morons and reactionary revolutionaries in the controlled opposition groups ALSO PROMOTE BACKWARD “SOLUTIONS.” On the contrary, militarism is the supreme ideology, and it deserves to be. Militarism, as the ideology of the murder system, has always made development of weapons be one of its priorities, which area has therefore been another of the astonishing manifestations of exponential growth, so that, during the life time of those still alive today, weapons of mass destruction have become millions, then billions, then trillions of times more powerful and capable than ever before in human history, and IF a technological civilization could survive its contradictions, then it would be headed towards quadrillions of times …
In that context, the conclusions should NOT be “either/or” but “both/and” with respect to developing better death control systems, to back up better debt controls systems, which would enable the development of better integrated human, industrial and natural ecologies. At the present time, it is IMPOSSIBLE to reconcile our fundamentally fraudulent financial accounting systems, (where “money" is made out of nothing, and disappears back to nothing) with anything else in the real world, where it is NOT POSSIBLE to create anything out of nothing, nor send anything to nothing.
OF COURSE, THE ESTABLISHED SYSTEMS OF ENFORCED FINANCIAL FRAUDS ARE NOT VIOLATING THE LAWS OF NATURE. The established systems are due to the social successes of the biggest bullies’ bullshit social stories, which are currently the banksters’ bullshit, which are systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, which emerged through the long history of social pyramid systems always being based upon the ability to back up lies with violence. The DOUBLE WHAMMY PARADOXES that we face are that there must necessarily be some death controls, as soon as we perceive any life that is subtracted from its environment, which is precisely how human beings live by telling stories, or by being able to build mental models of their world, within which are models of themselves, within their models of the world. The flows of energy are the modelling processes themselves. However, being able to name anything, and assign it properties, and then assemble into stories, necessarily then results in SUBTRACTION creating ROBBERY across the boundaries of the living systems which were subtracted … which then developed through human cultural history to become the currently established systems of organized crime, surrounded by controlled opposition, of ENFORCED FRAUDS, which deliberately ignore and deny that those ARE ENFORCED FRAUDS.
In my view, there are an abundance of creative alternatives. However, none of those could be assembled into coherent systems of alternatives without some alternative death control systems to be the keystone of that arch. The death controls are necessarily the central core controls, which are crucial to all other controls. Whatever the components of the systems of alternatives that may well be possible, in some sort of alternative emerging evolutionary ecologies, the lynch pin that holds those components together into some overall entrained systems must be the death controls. Therefore, the genuine solutions to the kinds of problems manifesting when the ENFORCED FRAUDS run into real limits, and so, degrade into “Kurrency Kollapses,” are necessarily better death controls, which may emerge out of the conditions of death insanities, which are going to be provoked by the psychotic breakdowns of the debt insanities, as crazy collapses into chaos … “Better” would be operationally defined as more non-linear feedback loops, whereby more outputs returned as inputs, so that there was more life and consciousness, and thus, an overall greater use of information. That would initially be organizing better systems of resistance to change the path of least resistance. It could also be regarded as engaging in more effective social psychiatry to try to cope with the psychotic breakdowns of the established systems of Enforced Frauds going through “Krazy Kurrency Kollapses.”
The main theme of my response to the Rant above is my typical one, that more than 90% of it was a correct analysis of the problems, but then, followed at the very end by its own kind of collapse back into bullshit “solutions” based on the same old-fashioned false fundamental dichotomies, and related impossible ideals. The ruling classes developed expedient sets of solutions to the chronic political problems inherent in the nature of life that benefited them. They did NOT make those chronic political problems exist, and no magical disappearance of the ruling classes resolves those chronic problems. There are NO solutions which can exist that do not provide other sets of responses to resolve those chronic political problems which are necessarily inherent in the nature of life.
What our times are presently presenting us with are that we are running into the limits of strip-mining a fresh planet at an exponentially accelerating rate. While many intellectuals have been imagining that for a long time, and warning about doing that, we are finally entering the times when the realities regarding that are finally impacting upon us, in overall ways that are accumulating to the point where those can no longer be so easily ignored, as those limits manifest in the forms of unavoidable issues regarding diminishing returns. That is showing up first and foremost in the financial systems, which were based on the maximum possible ENFORCED FRAUDS, which were the most vulnerable to the ways that their ability to ENFORCE FRAUDS never stopped those frauds from still being false.
The entire political economy system set up so that governments became the biggest form of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangsters, the banksters, and that has become over-leveraged to the degree that was only possible because those were able to develop as electronic frauds, backed by atomic bombs, so that the orders of magnitude associated with electronics and atomic power were sustaining the orders of magnitude of ENFORCED FRAUDS, where the virtual world of “financialization” became 10 times bigger than the physical economy, then 100 times, and is now headed towards becoming 1,000 times … and more, IF that kind of civilization could survive those contradictions …
Meanwhile, surrounding those established systems of ENFORCED FRAUDS, there was almost nothing else which was publicly significant than CONTROLLED OPPOSITION, which continued to operate within the biggest bullies’ bullshit world view frame of reference. Therefore, reactionary revolutionaries continue to promote bogus “solutions” based on false fundamental dichotomies, and the related impossible ideals, which continue to actually cause the opposite to happen in the real world. The vast majority of people continue to take common sense DUALITIES for granted. However, the prodigious progress in physical sciences can be traced back to developing paradigm shifts, which enabled using UNITARY MECHANISMS, the first and foremost of which was better understanding of the conservation of energy through energy systems. (Which, of course, is NOT finished, and never could be, since the subtraction is never absolute, and therefore, the robbery is never finished.)
Going through paradigm shifts to develop more UNITARY MECHANISMS is what we should do through political science. Of course, I recognize that appears to be practically impossible at the present time, and therefore, I do not wish to undermine my own argument above by also collapsing back to bullshit “solutions” based on what “we should do” that are not consistent with what will ACTUALLY HAPPEN, which is that energy will continue to be conserved. Rather, what I am pointing towards is that the most important kinds of paradigm shifts which we need are those which would change how we perceive the death control systems, which would then enable paradigm shifts in militarism, and all of its related priorities, such as the development of weapons.
In my view, to attempt to be as consistent as possible in presenting genuine solutions that follow from the correct analysis, then the problems are that governments are necessarily the biggest form of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals, and therefore, the only real solutions are to develop better government, as better organized crime, which operates better death controls, to back up better debt controls, which directs the emerging evolutionary ecologies which could and would survive through those processes.
The entrenched systems of organized crime, surrounded by controlled opposition, have already baked into their cake the situation of runaway debt insanities provoking death insanities. Most of the Rant above was devoted to developing that argument, which I must agree with. However, the last few seconds of that Rant, in my repeating view, collapsed back to bullshit “solutions.” To be more realistic, we are ALREADY “shit out of luck” regarding effectively being able to prevent or prepare for the established systems of exponential growth of strip-mining the planet not overshooting and causing collapses. The oligarchs are already criminally insane, while the people they rule over tend to be matching bookends, the same ways as that there is almost nothing but organized crime, surrounded by controlled opposition.
The BIG PROBLEM is the existence of weapons of mass destruction. In my view, better understanding of the science that made those technologies is the way to go through intellectual scientific revolutions, which could be applied to political science, and thus, through the combined money/murder systems. Of course, at the present time, that appears to be practically impossible, since we are rushing at an exponential rate through to greater and greater levels of ENFORCED FRAUDS, driving more and more astronomically amplified sizes of debt insanities, which did have the historical patterns of then provoking death insanities, since the basic systems were ALWAYS DEBT SLAVERY BACKED BY WARS BASED ON DECEITS.
However, the main point of my comments above is that “we should” develop a real, radical, revolution, that changes the death control systems, and that IS going to be made imperatively possible, as well as necessary, by the on-coming times of erupting death insanities. I am promoting what I consider to be relatively obvious, (although almost nobody else seems to understand and agree with that, so far) that profound paradigm shifts in physical sciences WILL drive even more profound paradigm shifts in political science, which WILL manifest through militarism, as the supreme ideology of the murder systems, in one way or another, sooner or later … Such paradigm shifts do not initially change what exists, but only change the ways that we perceive what exists, which then can eventually change the ways that we behave, which in turn can somewhat change what actually exists, to the degree that our behaviour could do that.
Metaphorically speaking, what I am suggesting is that we need to go THROUGH the looking glass of our Bizarro Mirror World, by appreciating how profoundly backwards the biggest bullies’ bullshit world view is, including, of course, the degree to which the banksters’ bullshit is based on ENFORCING FRAUDS. At the present time, almost all of the standard controlled opposition groups continue to stay within the banksters’ bullshit frame of reference, by continuing to suggest bogus “solutions” based on false fundamental dichotomies and the related impossible ideals. That is to say, like the Rant above did in the last few seconds, there was presented the typical DUALITY between overcoming the oligarchs’ social pyramid systems, or else being shit out of luck. I regard that kind of presentation as STILL looking in the mirror, and seeing everything there appearing backwards, without fully appreciating that.
I have outlined above some of the concepts which follow from attempting to take the conservation of energy more seriously, so that one proposes more realistic solutions, that are as consistent as possible with the way energy systems really work. Such solutions are NOT based on the impossible ideals of there no longer being any death controls systems, or none that human beings are aware of operating. Rather, such solutions are based on making greater use of information, enabling higher consciousness, regarding how those death controls may be perceived and done. Radical paradigm shifts in the ways that one perceives the death control systems then enables real, radical revolutions in how those death controls are accomplished.
That follows through to NOT being some impossible goal to have political miracles overthrow the oligarchs’ social pyramid systems. Rather, one changes one’s perceptions to see that social pyramids were always actually toroidal vortices. Therefore, it becomes more possible and necessary to connect the tops and bottoms better, because those were always already connected (while the biggest bullies’ bullshit world view was attempting to present the views that those were disconnected.) To focus again on the monetary and taxation systems, money is NECESSARILY measurement backed by murder. That is what enables the established systems to be ENFORCED FRAUDS, while those established systems, and their controlled opposition, do their best to try to disconnect and divorce those two integrated facets of those systems.
We are headed towards “KRAZY KURRENCY KOLLAPSES” because those were always ENFORCED FRAUDS, which never were able to make those frauds stop being false, no matter how much force backed them up. However, the only genuine solutions are to make greater use of information, enabling higher consciousness, about how those facets were NECESSARILY CONNECTED, i.e., operate better debt controls, backed by better death controls … Of course, at the present time, we are quite “shit out of luck,” because we appear to have run out of time to adapt any better, since, for a long, long time, those who had the information, intelligence and imagination to foresee these problems developing, in the ways that they have, were deliberately ignored, while that which was being imagined became more and more real, as the limits of strip-mining a fresh planet’s natural resources impinged. However, despite being “shit out of luck” in that sense, we should continue to expect that energy will be conserved, and IF there are going to be any better resolutions of these problems, then those should be based on better understanding of human beings and civilizations as entropic pumps of energy flows. Doing that enables one to best understand how and why the established oligarchs were able to make and maintain the social pyramid systems that now exist, and surround themselves by the kinds of controlled opposition groups that now exist. Such a better understanding of the realities regarding the oligarchs’ systems is what should be done in order to transform those systems better.
@".. Money is measurement backed by murder." ...
this is not necessarily true though it is an
option or perhaps a current conditional reality.
i would say money is a measurement backed by
desire which can easily be perverted into the
crime of murder just as love can be perverted
into desire by a simple psychological twist.
bernays was the master of replacing one thing,
with a twist, for another. we have been sold
the idea, bad, that money is what we think it is,
the marketing of the money. i really don't buy
it but i do buy things with it. etc....
.
i will write no more in response at this moment.
thank you for your articulation, notions and
perspective r.m..
I agree with the general philosophical view, which may be attributed to Buddha, that "desire creates the universe."
Money is a human symbol. My point is that symbols get their meaning from the behaviors that surround them. In the case of the currently existing monetary system, that form of "money" has no intrinsic value. The value of fiat money comes primarily from the government demanding the payment of taxes with that, as well as related legal tender laws, which together create a kind of monopoly for that fiat money, because the government asserts a monopoly over the use of force, which backs up the frauds that privately controlled banks are allowed to engage in, while everyone else, including even the government itself, agrees to operate within that system.
The banksters' achieved that through leveraged application of the methods of organized crime on the political processes, whose successes enabled the profits from previous frauds to be reinvested in more frauds. They were doing that successfully long before the current forms of legalized bribery developed The Best "Democracy" Money Can Buy: For Every Dollar Spent Influencing US Politics, Corporations Get $760 Back
Fiat money, which has value because one must pay taxes with that kind of money, is backed by the "rule of law" which boils down to the police and armed forces backing up that "rule of law." To resist the operation of the "rule of law" can result in being murdered by the police (and, if necessary, by other armed forces.) Therefore, ultimately, fiat money, made out of nothing, as debts, is backed by the ability of the government to murder those who refuse to agree to accept that fraud.
I boil that chain of related events down to saying "money is measurement backed by murder." Although, in theory, better balanced social systems might be able to develop some form of money which was a symbol of human cooperation, the existing system is primarily money as a symbol of human coercion, since it is an enforced fraud.
Moreover, I agree with you, blindman, that the meaning of the word "money" and "dollar" have historically been inverted and perverted, so that those words now mean the opposite of what they used to mean, or have ended up with no relationship to what those words used to mean. Indeed, the history of the marketing of the banksters' fiat money, based on enforcing frauds, WAS "replacing one thing, with a twist, for another!"
