Mainly Macro (Stupid or Evil)

The subject line of this blog entry is the title of Simon-Wren Lewis blog post.  

I feel his pain!

It is painful to see such a bad situation that is also so stupid -- or is it evil?

His blog entry was linked at Naked Capitalism and introduced there with this comment:

"The eternal question: Stupid, or evil? I don’t agree that it’s the stupid. Austerity is the preferred policy outcome for elites because it works in their interests, as they perceive and define them, and who else is going to? Start with cheaper and more “loyal” servants. And the Cossacks work for the Czar. This really isn’t hard, people. "

The pain is that it isn't really hard people!  Simon-Wren feels the pain even more because he is an intelligent expert on Economics and writing about a situation that even his peers in the general profession are too stupid or evil to either comprehend or say something about other than spout the desired framing of those with honestly evil intention to take advantage of an obviously wrong (in terms of the general public good) but immensely beneficial to their private profit/power well being.

Its the Profit/Power stupid!

As clearly as Simon Wren tries to explain it, people generally will not get it.  There has been too much austerity propaganda foisted on the public in an attempt for the public to demand it like a penitent begging for a whipping!

It pains me too!

Blacklisted Economics Professor Found Dead.  His last letter.  Economist, not surprisingly are influence like banksters by the moral hazard situation.  It is tempting to assure the preservation of systems and procedures that feed self interest that are counter to the general interest or even law or foundation of established truth and principle designed to protect the general interest.  Evil banksters and economists operate in collusion on the dark side.

This is what he said in response to a question.  Absolutely reasonable answer.

"Isn’t it offensive to assume that economists, for motives of personal gain, shade their theoretical allegiances in the directions preferred by powerful interest groups? How could it ever be offensive to assume that a person acts rationally in pursuit of maximizing his or her own utility? I’m afraid I don’t understand this question."

Light and transparency are the best disinfectants.  So is Bill Black.

Monetary and Fiscal.  Smoke and mirror words that mask what they are:  Money and Spending.  Two different things!

Bankers control both.

Take money away from the bankers.  Leave them only with power to control spending of it through financing.  Then they will be in the same boat with everybody else that spend money because they have somehow earned the right to spend it by contributing a utility of value.

Take the power away from banksters to create money.  Take it away through the action of our government to assert is sovereign right to create money.  A sovereign right that was outsourced to banks long ago and established in this country by the Federal Reserve banking system.

The Federal Reserve banking system is debt based money with the Fed having the right to create money by loaning it into existence.

When our government creates money it is created as a positive debt free thing.  A utility for all of us to use as a tool to attained the common good, the general welfare in the pursuit of happiness.

It is so simple people!  That is why those that benefit financially from obscuring the truth, the obvious, spend so much money on capturing government power to do anything about it and spending money on controlling public perception that not only keeps the public in the dark but gets the public to actually support a fallacious monetary system of debt based money and private enterprise in control of creating it to the detriment of their own self interest.

Stupid or Evil?

An Evil few are manipulating a Stupid public.  Nobody is stupid by design, by their own design they may be "not intelligent" if they fail to learn.  If the public fails to learn or comprehend as a function of some few in a position of great power to create and project deception inducing public stupidity the Evil few are winning big time and the score is measured in money and power accruing to them at the expense of a manipulated public stupidity that the Evil few must expend a lot of money and gain a lot of power to perpetuate.

The "Evil Few" of the Money/Power sector are smart.   We (some of us) can see that they are spending increasing amounts of money across the broad spectrum of public propaganda and government control to maintain their control and dominance of the Monetary/Financial system.  It is called a "trend line"  extrapolate it into the future and you can make some good guesses as to where it is going and what will result.  It really is a Ponzi scheme that all falls apart when the curtain is pulled back to reveal the sorry little man behind the curtain manipulating the levers to deceive us.

Its the Wizard of Oz, people.  The trend line of the what the Evil few are doing has an ultimate decisive conclusion of the "wake up" public recognition.  The Evil few know it and rather than fight tooth and nail to preserve and continue to perpetuate the structure that serves them so well and us so poorly they have a plan B when the stuff hits the fan and we are coming with rope and pitch forks.

As it always was, the teeth of power, police and armed forces are not the tools to protect their house of cards.  Their Plan B is something else this time.  A plan "B" that will either drive the stake that  entrenches their system of control for a long time into the future to assure that their Plan A continues to operate.

The public welfare of the common good that we formed our government to establish and maintain must have a Plan A that drives the stake into the heart of a financial monstrosity vampire that will live forever as long as it has a source of blood to feed on.  That source of blood is money that it will live forever on if it continues to create is as debt free money.  Money belongs to the public under the control of our government (that we consent to govern us) to create.  NOT to create by borrowing it from a private institution entity to which he have outsourced our rights to.

Evil is perpetuated by a condition of stupidity.  It is like the old joke of being fat and ugly.  Called fat by an ugly fat person gets the response:  I may be fat but that can change.  Truely Ugly is ugly forever.

The true of debt free money will set us free.

Today is New Years day when many make resolutions.  We should all make a resolution to reduce our stupidity this year by increasing our resistance and discipline to push back from the fat diet of deceit that we, the general public, has been feeding on.

When we get smart enough to see the Evil of the current Money/Financial system it is going to change and the only change to make it right is a paradigm shift to a debt free money system, a universal one because the banking system is trans-border and universal.

It will be a revolution.  This revolution need not be a violent one since the Monetary/Financial system is a conceptual one that can be restructured without violence but those that will lose the power to control it will, as a last resort turn to the forces of power to protect and preserve their domination.  Their greatest fear is that those dogs won't hunt.

A showdown is coming.  A tipping point.  Conceptually like the police beating up on innocent victims.  It is the few among the police that do that but they are black shirted agents of very few powerful authorities that use their positions to unofficially enforce unacceptable methods of social control, much like torture, to preserve and protect a corrupt use of socially necessary internal police institution or our military our national external police force (not to be used internally to protect and serve).

Enough is enough.

Strange and ironic that this blog entry is written from the place where I am sitting.

There is a basic difference between the structural foundation of the natural world and the our social conceptual world.  Both are based on truth(s).  In the natural world they are given truths of nature and the physical universe.  We can create a conceptual scientific description of this physical world structure.  It is merely a translation of what it discovered to be truths in the physical world to a conceptual mirror image description in languages we use and understand.  Mathematics being an exact language and our natural language to which the math can be translated (some loss in translation or even intentional manipulation) to say the same thing in a form more easily comprehended by the general public. 

On the other hand conceptual social systems are structured on what is proclaimed to be an established truth(s) that are true on the basis of being self evident as a secular reason or established as absolute truth by spiritual authority.  The latter works for many, the former works for all.  The latter will by the nature of their belief be less inclined to change?  Much less if they are fundamentalists!  The former more inclined to changed based on the principal:  "Works for me" which the latter might view as situational ethics or in the more extreme view unacceptable moral corruption.

Social system conceptual structures are subject to change depending on what truths are chosen as their foundation base.  Readily changed when they become entrenched in implementing data management systems.  The greater the amount of social data that is collected, stored and subject to data mining the more information that can be produced and a greater the amount of knowledge derived from this information.

Money and Finance is a social conceptual system.  It is subject to a great amount of data generation as a function of its nature.  The information age is producing a quantum amount of data/information/knowledge about the conceptual system.  If that system is seen as a result to be fallacious by sufficient numbers of people that are no longer duped to believe that there is no alternative then it is going to change.  The nature of the Information Age means that any conceptual system not based on the dictates of the natural physical world but more on the purely conceptual world can change quickly.
