Utopia of Usurers G.K. Chesterton reveals the most quietly held secret of the Liberal System, the “liberty” instituted as the foundation of the System, is for the benefit of the few and for the gradual impoverishment and enslavement of the rest. If the phrase, “in vino veritas” has been exponentially validated through the long ages of mankind, I would venture to say that anger, tinged with wrath, an anger that is not artificial, but, rather, spontaneous, is another deep wellspring of truth. The writer of the preface to G.K. The word “rebel” understates our cause. The question is, however, “why would any one want to ‘rebel’; aren’t we living in a world which is the realization of all that mankind has ever striven for and desired?” There can be little doubt that our mass media continually projects the following subliminal message, no matter what the news “event” or story: All continues to go well in the Land of Plenty. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Bernard Lietaer 'Community Currencies', part 3 Let us assume now that we develop a currency whose sole objective is to fulfill the two main roles of money: standard of value and medium of exchange. To discourage its use as a store of value, we build in a "booster" mechanism: when someone earns the equivalent of $100 in this currency, we give him or her a purchasing power of $110 if the money is used today. It would be worth only $ 109 tomorrow, $ 108 the day after tomorrow, $100 on the tenth day, and $90 in twenty days, and so on.(note 3) Now, what would happen? The following patterns would become manifest: A structural incentive to separate the functions of medium of exchange and store of value would be achieved, with the advantage of reducing the boom-bust cycle. The conceptual key to understanding this shift involves changing the "arrow of time" in the investment process. Consumption patterns would evolve toward products with longer lifetimes. Is such an unconventional concept as "charge money" a theoretically sound one?
Max Keiser - Financial War Reports ‘Fiat money’ or Gold Standard? Written by David A. Jones (Guest Author) on . Many people, upon first learning about ‘Fractional Reserve’ Banking, are drawn to the idea of the Gold Standard. Before we embark on a discussion of the pros and cons of a Gold Standard, I’d like to dispatch two monetary misconceptions commonly encountered on the internet: 1: I have put the words ‘fractional reserve’ in inverted commas because, like so many terms used in banking, it is a misnomer. With that out of the way, let’s proceed! “The first United States dollar was minted in 1794. A 'flowing hair dollar' minted in 1795 Why do supporters of the Gold Standard – sometimes referred to as ‘gold-bugs’ for short – want this kind of money? 1 - As a means of exchange / deference of payment2 - As a store of value3 - As a unit of account ‘Gold-bugs’ argue that since ‘paper money’ can be increased at will by government and banks it is inflationary and so will not perform the second function of money properly.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND LINKS £Index £ Members of BAMR recognise the difficulty many people have in getting a full understanding of our message regarding both what is wrong and how it can be rectified. There are a number of reasons for this. BAMR is not exposing a recently engineered fraud, but a fraudulent practice that has been part of the status quo for over three hundred years and has been manipulated and exploited in the latter half of this century to a degree that threatens mankinds very survival. Most people have been successfully led to believe that the monetary system is so highly complex that only the "experts" can understand it and therefore they tend to shy away from the subject believing they will never understand it. It is difficult to believe that such a gargantuan fraud should have been going on under our noses for so long without exposure. To understand why "they" haven't and are unlikely (without our backing or coercion) to do anything about it one needs to recognise the power of money. Links:

This investigation reveals who the perpetrators are and what we can do to solve the problem. Please Note: You may quote excerpts from this investigation and republish them in your blog, but please do not re-post the entire investigation, as additional updates and ‘tweaks’ may be necessary. Instead, please link your readers back to the original. Thanks!] 2012 has begun as a year of rampant paranoia and hopelessness on the Internet and throughout mainstream media. The economy appears to be in a dire predicament — ready to go over a cliff into an abyss few can even allow themselves to consider. Since 9/11, Americans and much of the Western world have been led to believe that the biggest enemy they face is terrorism from Islamic extremists. This would be the most dramatic public expose’ of the group responsible for this Financial Tyranny since the early 1800s — as you will see. J.
NRA Youth Programs LETS Forum :: LETS in Cornwall and the SW End Fed Conflicts Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday introduced legislation to prohibit banking industry executives from serving as directors of the 12 Federal Reserve regional banks. The recent multi-billion-dollar trading loss at JPMorgan Chase underscored the need to structurally reform the Federal Reserve System to make a more democratic institution responsive to the needs of ordinary Americans, not just Wall Street CEOs."It is a blatant conflict of interest for Jamie Dimon, the CEO and chairman of JPMorgan Chase, to serve on the New York Fed's board of directors," Sanders said. Sen. A Government Accountability Office audit - conducted pursuant to a Sanders provision in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform law - found that allowing members of the banking industry to both elect and serve on the Federal Reserve's board of directors creates "an appearance of a conflict of interest" and poses "reputational risks" to the Federal Reserve System.

Scouting Leaders welcome a boy into Scouting, March 2010, Mexico City, Mexico. The two largest umbrella organizations are the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), for boys-only and co-educational organizations, and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), primarily for girls-only organizations but also accepting co-educational organizations. The year 2007 marked the centenary of Scouting world wide, and member organizations planned events to celebrate the occasion. History[edit] Origins[edit] Three years later, in South Africa during the Second Boer War, Baden-Powell was besieged in the small town of Mafeking by a much larger Boer army (the Siege of Mafeking).[11] The Mafeking Cadet Corps was a group of youths that supported the troops by carrying messages, which freed the men for military duties and kept the boys occupied during the long siege.
