Welcome to Soviet USA
Although some readers may
be on Peter Myer's list, the following material is
interesting enough to read a second time. Why?
[Hitler material follows at the very end!]
1. Religion rears its head - Bible matters - Judaism,
Christianity -
Egyptology - then the final item mentions a 40 000-year mammoth find
in the
Arctic Region - civilization began in the north, so according to
Russian
scientists who are working at this site.
2. The Jewish religious issue -and its effects upon the
non-Jewish world -
can
be explained if you view the Jewish religion as an
evolutionary group strategy - it takes the mystery out of it all.
Kevin
MacDonald's analysis assists in liberating your mind from things
Jewish - if
you are Jewish, then of course, you have your home within Judaism; if
you are
not Jewish,
then you will finally know you are not welcomed - as a slave, yes,
but not as a
Mensch. Sadly, that is the Jewish way - I recall joining the Jewish
Club when I was a student at Melbourne University in 1963 because I
wanted
to learn something about Jewish life. Though it was never directly
stated,
I had the
distinct feeling that I was not wanted! Stupid me! Christians are in
a bind
because they will sooner or later indulge in some rigorous
soul-searching
or mental
gymnastics in order to escape the Jewish clutches. Interestingly,
during my
Africa sojourn a number of Africans informed me that Christianity
is an
African religion - to that I say: Bravo! The Christian submissiveness
to
Judaism is
also shameful, hence the need not to neutralise Christianity as a
threat to
Judaism. That has to be done to Islam because the Muslim world is
not fearful
of the Jews. This in parts explains why the USA and its coalition
of the
willing, and its 9:11 strategy aims to neutralize Islam by branding
and
naming
alleged terrorists as Muslims, thereby libelling the whole Muslim
world.
3. There is no need to invoke a supernatural being in order to
understand
life, i.e. if you have the courage to embrace reason and
understanding, if
you dare to think rigorously about things, and not let yourself be
befuddled
when someone invokes a supernatural being - drawing that proverbial
God-card, thus placing certain intellectual wanderings off-limit. With
Kant
I stand in
awe of the moral law within me and the natural law -
the universe
- above me.
4. Imagine the audacity of a person claiming to belong to a
Chosen people!
We are all part of the Creation - we are the Creation - we are Life -
we are
not separated from Creation because we are alive. That is what keeps
me
humble, this realization that I am the totality that Creation itself
is, and
this means all human beings are a part of this Totality. Anyone who
claims
to be closer to the Creation than another is a fraudster and a - what
do the
Americans call them, a shyster?
5. Imagine someone just telling another that s/he is closer to
Creation on
account of having read words from a certain book - as if magic flows
from
such things! In your mind, perhaps, but nowhere else. Incantations,
magic
spells work if the recipient is willing to receive the message, if the
recipient's mind is weak enough to have the self-fulfilling prophecy
come
his way. Then, of course, the free thinker is labelled a non-believer,
a heretic,
a devil, an
atheist, anything that will prevent the name-caller from
self-reflecting on the issue at hand. Grabbing words out of some
authoritative
book does
not then solve the ensuing battle-of-the-wills, but only reason
and
empathetic understanding, and compassion.
6. Imagine keeping the uninformed and immature minds in the
dark, then feed
them on fairy tales! Anyone who resists, will be killed. How does such
force-feeding develop your mind? If the information is screwed up, a
pipe-dream, then it's the old rubbish-in rubbish-out pattern. Look at
Horst
Mahler in Berlin, Germany, how this valiant man with his mind going
flat out
fighting all
the rubbish that makes up German laws designed by the victors to
break down
German minds.
Mahler rises
above all this - through a massive
mental
engagement against the power structures that wish to kill his mind.
The state
prosecutor throws new writs at Mahler, after Mahler dares again
to speak the
unspeakable in open court - the censored information about the
'Holocaust'
lies. The public prosecutor's mind is not mature enough to make
sense of
what he hears coming out of Mahler's mouth - and so the inept
mind tries
to shut it up through legal means. Is this fair to Horst Mahler?
Here is a
mature man who wishes to offer his intellectual understanding of
what it
means to be a German, and a young pup of a German public
prosecutor
cries out that it is all too much for his mind, but public
prosecutor
Krüger insists on silencing Mahler by continuing to
prosecute
him!
7. Finally, ask the Power Question! Think of the Jewish and
Christian
Religions as an evolutionary group strategy to guarantee survival -
forget
the pious venire that has the effect of switching off mental faculties
and
starting the emotional avalanche of that feel-good rollercoaster.
Thinking
is a painful activity until you have reached your inner self where
self-reflective
intelligence resides, then think until you are a part of Creation, a
part of Life
because
then it all falls into place as you begin to think independently - as
you become a
free thinker. That is what freedom is all about. This does not
mean that
you must give up any of your cherished beliefs that are just that,
beliefs -
structures in your mind that you have given a lot of time to nurture.
That's what
the intellectual adventure is all about - a walk in your nurtured
mind. If the
material in your mind is derivative, taken from someone else
and learned
by rote, without reflecting on it, then that material can be classed
as noise -
but that does not mean it will not give you a buzz! It is only
because
Ernst Zündel has reached this level of mental development/maturity
where he can
reflect upon decades of fighting for his German heritage, that
he can
endure the horrors of his obscene imprisonment in Toronto, all
because
he refuses
to bow to Jewish willpower that seeks to destroy his mind. It is
a massive
fight between the Jewish mind - as a group - and Ernst Zündel,
the man
alone!
But fortunately Ernst, although your friends are spread all over the
world,
you are not
alone in this mighty battle against the 'evolutionary group
strategy' of
the Jews, Judaism, if you will!

(1) Lesson of the Exodus Story
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2004 22:12:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Dean *******
<dean1_98@yahoo.com>
The recent posts on Exodus have been way off base. The architects of
the
"New
World Order," - whoever they are - hate the Bible and Christianity,
and
especially Protestantism. Thompson may have an authoritive title to
his
name,
but his outdated and inadequate modes of thought are just pseudo -
intellectual hogwash.
The fact that such smears are made over Biblical
> Archaeology shows that the
> veracity of the Bible is at the core of the Zionist
> project.
Zionist archaeology, as most other establishment forms, stubbornly
hold to
the
"Conventional Egyptian Chronology" which forces the rest of the
ancient
world
chronology to be four hundred years off (hence the insertion of
fictitious
"dark ages" into the chronology of Greece, and the total rejection of
the
ancient writers as to the time relation of the fall of Troy and the
founding
of Rome). This chronology has been dismantled by such people as Sir
Isaac
Newton, Donavan Courville, Immanuel Velikovsky, Peter James, and, of
course,
David Rohl.
Once we probably understand the correct archaeological ages in which
the
biblical events occured, they suddenly come into sharp focus. The
Hyksos or
shepherd kings invaded Egypt after the Israelites left, and there is
abundant
evidence for this. In Exodus they were called the Amalekites. Only
academics
totally stuck in their own system can dismiss the evidence that the
conventional chronology requires the suppression of an enormous amount
of
data
from across the ancient world.
> Of course it was written late, after the
> resettlement under Nehemia and Ezra.
Again, this is a massive subject. Egyptian words in the Law, and other
evidence as shown by the New Chronology, refute this. The books were
placed
into a new Hebrew script and edited by Ezra.
> Who were these "original" owners when Nehemia led

They had been gone for 70 years, not two thousand. Their cities were
uninhabited. This is a fallacious comparison. Nations were allowed
back to
their original lands across the Persian empire.
> Baruch describes the law of

The king of Persia gave them permission to resettle the land. They had
only
been gone 70 years! There is no comparison with the present day
situation.

Yes, if we are looking at the wrong archaeological ages - as some of
the
"world's leading Biblical archaeologists" do.

An expert who can't see the wood for the trees. Whether the bible is
true or
not, it is obvious that the writers believed it. Myths don't provide
genealogies do they? Or dates and times, and place names etc.
> Rather than the unified

Again, he is totally right....if you follow the wrong archaeological
ages.
See
Courville. I could provide a TON of evidence if needed.
Many things about the New World Order I don't understand, and I am
just
sitting back and learning. This is closer to my heart, especially as
one who
believe the bible, and believes that God has demonstrated to him both
the
reality of God, and the reality of the truth of the bible. I know you
don't
share those strong convictions, but I did feel that I needed to voice
my
opinion on these posts on early Israel.
{end}
COMMENT (Peter M):
Pat Robertson's book The New World Order is quite a good expose on the
Socialist One-Worlders:
http://www.anybook4less.com/detail/0849933943.html
But Robertson's weakness is Zionism. He thinks that Israel is the
antidote
to
the New World Order; and so, he supports Bush.
When the Third Temple is built, Christianity will split. One part will
worship
in it, as their chief shrine, in effect becoming Jews again. The other
part
will sever the tie with Judaism altogether.
Folk Christianity doesn't need Judaism. It focuses on
* the nativity stories - the Magi, the animals and the crib
* the Virgin Mary (the litanies calling her Queen of Heaven are
borrowed
from
Ishtar, of Babylon)
* the Madonna and Child (borrowed from Isis and Horus, of Egypt)
* the Black Madonna (borrowed also; stressing racial universalism)
* the saints
* Easter as a renewal-of-life festival - the re-emergence of plants,
the
birth
of animals and people.
Jesus is a new Osiris-figure: the Resurrection of Jesus is akin to the
Resurrection of Osiris
* spiritual healing, and the dethronement of Psychiatry
It's shocking, to discover that so much of Christian tradition is
"borrowed".
Yet, on the other hand, it's interesting.
All the things for which Protestantism condemns Folk Catholicism as
"Pagan",
are the things that should be prized. They are non-Jewish, they
emanate from
the Ancient World, they preserve continuity with old Civilizations.
We can dispense with the emotional coldness of the Puritans, and the
existential fear we've inherited from the Zoroastrians.
You may think that I'm promoting materialim (of the Marxist kind), or
nihilism
(of Nietzsche's kind). I'm not.
Our brains have two halves, each of which functions differently. The
Left
side
is rational, analytical, computational; the Right is artistic,
intuitive,
mystical, religious, synthetic.
However, we don't sever in brains in two, discarding one half;
instead, we
have to combine both.
The debunking material I've put out is Left-side stuff. It undermines
all
dogmas.
Yet I've experienced telepathy and clairvoyance. I've seen witchcraft
close
up: it's an attempt to invade another person's mind. It seemed to
work, to a
degree; it can only be resisted by strong will-power.
These phenomena don't seem compatible with Evolution theory, which
says that
life is purely material. Even the Panspermia theory, which I adopt,
says
that
life spreads from galaxy to galaxy via simple "seeds" like viruses,
carried
in
comets and dark matter. A star can be slung out of its galaxy,
dragging such
matter in its wake.
I don't claim to be able to reconcile these two sorts of data. So, I
affirm
both, on the basis that our understanding is incomplete, and always
will be.
We are not gods.
I've witnessed a Psychic Surgeon at work in the Philippines, doing
bloodless
operations without instruments. I saw the insides of the wounds he
opened
with
his bare hands, and closed with his bare hands, and I took photos of
these
operations. Personally, I don't think it was fakery, but I admit that
it
could
be. Not all such practitioners are the same.
I know advocates of Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy, who incubate
manure in
cows' horns in the ground, then mix it with water in a machine which
creates
a
vortex. They claim that this gives it a special "Bio-dynamic" quality,
and
spread it on the ground at low rates of concentration akin to
Homeopathy.
I remain sceptical about Bio-dynamics, just as others are sceptical
about
the
Psychic Surgery. Yet I would not mind buying Bio-dymamic food, if it
were
cheaper; it's grown with care, in a chemical-free way.
The bottom line for me is that, if I had terminal cancer, I would go
to the
Philippines for Psychic Surgery, rather than undergoing Chemotherapy
here.
Call me superstitious, incredulous. OK.
Each of us has his or her irrationalities. The Marxists got rid of
other
people's irrationalities by smashing their temples; yet Marxism itself
is a
creed, and a church that denies the right to dissent from its
doctrines.
Only a computer is completely rational - would you marry one?
I advocate a combination of faith and uncertainty. Affirmation, of a
spirituality pretty-much devoid of doctrine, plus the admission that
one
could
be wrong.
Someone asked me recently if I believe in life after death. My answer
was
that
I don't know, and don't mind not knowing. As long as one leaves some
sort of
legacy for the future, one can die in peace.
I vow that I will never end up in a nursing home. If I had a terminal
illness,
or knew that I was becoming geriatric or heading into dementia, I
would seek
voluntary euthenasia. I would like to call family and friends for a
farewell
party, akin to a birthday party. Then, take my life with the
assistance of a
doctor. My children will never remember me as incontinent or without
dignity.
I request sky-burial, as in Tibet and other parts of Central Asia. If
that
is
not possible, then that I be buried in the ground, wrapped in a sheet,
and
that a fruit tree be planted on top of me.
(2) Lesson of the Exodus Story
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2004 01:45:37 -0400 From: Ardeshir Mehta
<ardeshir@sympatico.ca>
I STILL don't see how the anomaly of *Moses* being an Egyptian name,
and a
royal one at that (while all other Israelite names are NOT of Egyptian
origin), is explained by all the material you have so kindly provided!
If the Israelites had been in Egypt with the Hyksos, it would stand to
reason
that there would be lots of names of Israelites of obviously Egyptian
origin -
just as there are lots of Jewish names today of obviously non-Jewish
American
origin (such as "Richard" or "Larry") or lots of Jewish family-names
of
obviously German origin (like *Steinberg* and *Finkel*). But there
WEREN'T
lots of names of ancient Israelites of obviously Egyptian origin: at
least
not
the ones mentioned in the Bible. The name *Moses* is an ANOMALY in the
Bible,
one which, moreover, stands out like a sore thumb.
And even *Moses* is not a PURELY Egyptian name: the prefix is missing,
for
it
must originally have been something like "X-Moses", where "X" was the
name
of
one or another Egyptian deity (as in *Ramses* = Ra-Moses, meaning "Ra
gives
the child", or *Thuthmosis* meaning "Thoth gives the child": both of
them
names of Pharaohs, be it noted, not of Egyptian commoners.) Why, then,
the
retaining by the Israelites of only PART of an Egyptian name for their
greatest prophet, and then the attempt on the part of their scribes to
try
and
explain it away by providing in the Bible itself an obviously
contrived
"derivation" of it from Hebrew (*ki mashati oto mi ha-mayim*)?
It's just TOO inexplicable, if Moses himself never existed.
And if he did exist, it seems highly unlikely that he existed without
any
connection whatsoever to the story of his life as recounted in the
Bible.

REPLY (Peter M):
The Bible claims to be an historical record; it can therefore be
tested
against material evidence.
Redford writes:
{p. 408} There is perhaps no other scriptural tradition so central ...
than
the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt. It has become a prototype of
salvation,
a symbol of freedom and the very core of a great world religion. Yet
to the
historian it remains the most elusive of all the salient events of
Israelite
history. The event is supposed to have taken place in Egypt, yet
Egyptian
sources know it not. On the morrow of the Exodus Israel numbered
approximately
2.5 million (extrapolated from Num. 1:46); yet the entire population
of
Egypt
at the time was only 3 to 4.5 million! The effect on Egypt must have
been
cataclysmic - loss of a servile population, pillaging of gold and
silver
(Exod. 3:21-22, 12:31-36), destruction of an army - yet at no point in
the
history of the country during the New Kingdom is there the slightest
hint of
the traumatic impact such an event would have had on economics or
society.

The Bible has two Creation stories, in Genesis 1 & 2. In Genesis 1,
the

Israel's official Calendar - the Jewish Calendar - is based on the
Biblical
idea that the world was created about 6000 years ago.
Thus Haaretz gives two dates for today: June 14, 2004, and Sivan 25,
5764.
How is it that the most intelligent group of people in the world - the
Jews -
stick with an officially Creationist Calendar, while at the same time
ridiculing Christian Creationism?

Last year,J. Poindexter and DARPA proposed creating a huge data base
called
Total Information Awareness Program, to be used by the government to
monitorthe US population. Congress killed funding for the project,
rejecting
the need to collect data on the daily lives of ordinary Americans. In
the
mean
time, Homeland Security Dept has initiated CAAPS II, created, in
similar
fashion to collect data about ordinary Americans who fly the nations
airlines.
If the following story is correct, the current administration has
overridden
Congress and has covertly implemented the deveopment of Total
Information
Awareness only the acronym has been changed to Terrorist Information
program
to make it more acceptable. Our freedoms are crumbling away ... more
and
more,
our activities and thoughts are being monitored. How long before
thought
crime
becomes prosecuted by the State? All citizens should be concerned.
This
technology is indeed frightening.

How Big Brother Is Watching, Listening and Misusing Information About
You By
Teresa Hampton & Doug Thompson
You're on your way to work in the morning and place a call on your
wireless
phone. As your call is relayed by the wireless tower, it is also
relayed by
another series of towers to a microwave antenna on top of Mount
Weather
between Leesburg and Winchester, Virginia and then beamed to another
antenna
on top of an office building in Arlington where it is recorded on a
computer
hard drive.
The computer also records you phone digital serial number, which is
used to
identify you through your wireless company phone bill that the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency already has on record as part of
your
permanent file.
A series of sophisticated computer programs listens to your phone
conversation
and looks for "keywords" that suggest suspicious activity. If it picks
up
those words, an investigative file is opened and sent to the
Department of
Homeland Security.
Congratulations. Big Brother has just identified you as a potential
threat
to
the security of the United States because you might have used words
like
"take
out" (as in taking someone out when you were in fact talking about
ordering
takeout for lunch) or "D-Day" (as in deadline for some nefarious
activity
when
you were talking about going to the new World War II Memorial to
recognize
the
60th anniversary of D-Day).
If you are lucky, an investigator at DHS will look at the entire
conversation
in context and delete the file. Or he or she may keep the file open
even if
they realize the use of words was innocent. Or they may decide you
are,
indeed, a threat and set up more investigation, including a wiretap on
your
home and office phones, around-the-clock surveillance and much closer
looks
at
your life.
Welcome to America, 2004, where the actions of more than 150 million
citizens
are monitored 24/7 by the TIA, the Terrorist Information Awareness
(originally
called Total Information Awareness) program of DARPA, DHS and the
Department
of Justice.
Although Congress cut off funding for TIA last year, the Bush
Administration
ordered the program moved into the Pentagon's "black bag" budget,
which is
neither authorized nor reviewed by the Hill. DARPA also increased the
use of
private contractors to get around privacy laws that would restrict
activities
by federal employees.
Six months of interviews with security consultants, former DARPA
employees,
privacy experts and contractors who worked on the TIA facility at 3701
Fairfax
Drive in Arlington reveal a massive snooping operation that is capable
of
gathering ñ in real time ñ vast amounts of information on the day to
day
activities of ordinary Americans.
Going on a trip? TIA knows where you are going because your train,
plane or
hotel reservations are forwarded automatically to the DARPA computers.
Driving? Every time you use a credit card to purchase gas, a record of
that
transaction is sent to TIA which can track your movements across town
or
across the country.
Use a computerized transmitter to pay tolls? TIA is notified every
time that
transmitter passes through a toll booth. Likewise, that lunch you paid
for
with your VISA becomes part of your permanent file, along with your
credit
report, medical records, driving record and even your TV viewing
habits.
Subscribers to the DirecTV satellite TV service should know ñ but
probably
don't ñ that every pay-per-view movie they order is reported to TIA as
is
any
program they record using a TIVO recording system. If they order an
adult
film
from any of DirecTV's three SpiceTV channels, that information goes to
TIA
and
is, as a matter of policy, forwarded to the Department of Justice's
special
task force on pornography.
"We have a police state far beyond anything George Orwell imagined in
his
book
1984," says privacy expert Susan Morrissey. "The everyday lives of
virtually
every American are under scrutiny 24-hours-a-day by the government."
Paul Hawken, owner of the data information mining company Groxis,
agrees,
saying the government is spending more time watching ordinary
Americans than
chasing terrorists and the bad news is that they aren't very good at
it.
"It's the Three Stooges go to data mining school," says Hawken. "Even
worse,
DARPA is depending on second-rate companies to provide them with the
technology, which only increases the chances for errors."
One such company is Torch Concepts. DARPA provided the company with
flight
information on five million passengers who flew Jet Blue Airlines in
2002
and
2003. Torch then matched that information with social security
numbers,
credit
and other personal information in the TIA databases to build a
prototype
passenger profiling system.
Jet Blue executives were livid when they learned how their passenger
information, which they must provide the government under the USA
Patriot
Act,
was used and when it was presented at a technology conference with the
title:
Homeland Security ñ Airline Passenger Risk Assessment.
Privacy Expert Bill Scannell didn't buy Jet Blue's anger.
"JetBlue has assaulted the privacy of 5 million of its customers,"
said
Scannell. "Anyone who flew should be aware and very scared that there
is a
dossier on them."
But information from TIA will be used the DHS as a major part of the
proposed
CAPSII airline passenger monitoring system. That system, when fully in
place,
will determine whether or not any American is allowed to get on an
airplane
for a flight.
JetBlue requested the report be destroyed and the passenger data be
purged
from the TIA computers but TIA refuses to disclose the status of
either the
report or the data.
Although exact statistics are classified, security experts say the
U.S.
Government has paid out millions of dollars in out-of-court
settlements to
Americans who have been wrongly accused, illegally detained or
harassed
because of mistakes made by TIA. Those who accept settlements also
have to
sign a non-disclosure agreement and won't discuss their cases.
Hawken refused to do business with DARPA, saying TIA was both
unethical and
illegal.
"We got a lot of e-mails from companies ñ even conservative ones ñ
saying,
'Thank you. Finally someone won't do something for money,'" he adds.
Those who refuse to work with TIA include specialists from the
super-secret
National Security Agency in Fort Meade, MD. TIA uses NSA's technology
to
listen in on wireless phone calls as well as the agency's list of key
words
and phrases to identify potential terrorist activity.
"I know NSA employees who have quit rather than cooperate with DARPA,"
Hawken
says. "NSA's mandate is to track the activities of foreign enemies of
this
nation, not Americans."

Senate passes bill to monitor antisemitism around the world
By: MARILYN H. KARFELD Staff Reporter
http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/
articles/2004/05/13/news/local/dbill0514.txt
A bill requiring the State Department to monitor incidents of
antisemitism
around the world unanimously passed the U.S. Senate last week.
Under the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act, the State Department would
have
to
compile a country-by-country list of violence, harassment and
vandalism
directed against Jews and Jewish institutions by November 15.
By increasing public awareness of antisemitic acts worldwide,
governments
will
be better able to combat them, Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH), who
authored
the
bill, said in a statement. The Senate passage comes a week after the
conclusion of an international conference on antisemitism in Berlin
attended
by 55 nations.
The proposed legislation would also direct the State Department to
include
reports of antisemitism in the International Religious Freedom Report
and
the
Human Rights Report, two existing annual surveys.
The reports would detail specific governmental responses to each
antisemitic
act. The State Department would also monitor each government's efforts
to
pass
and enforce measures to protect Jewish religious freedom as well as
endeavors
to promote anti-bias and tolerance education.
The Anti-Defamation League applauded the Senate's passage of the bill
and
America's leadership in spotlighting the problem. "To fight
antisemitism, we
must have an accurate assessment of the scope and nature of the
problem in varying regions," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL executive
director,
in a statement. "So many countries lack a formal mechanism to channel
information about the problem or to register complaints."
Voinovich said a survey of the scope of antisemitism and annual public
reporting will help governments fight it. "Education, strong
protections for
religious freedom, and an appreciation for the importance of tolerance
are

(5) The Israeli Military provoked the Intifada

"With the outbreak of the Intifada it became indisputably clear that
Israel
is
not a state that has a military but rather a military that has a
state,"
wrote
Ben Caspit in Ma'ariv describing the circumstances leading to the
outbreak
of
the present Intifada in September 2000
(http://www.jfjfp.org/maariv_caspit.htm).
According to Caspit there were still negotiations going on between
Barak and
Arafat and it was the Israeli military who sabotaged them.
Now with Akiva Eldar's enclosed disclosure about the role of the
Israeli
military "intelligence" we have a further proof that the IOF was
interested
in
ending the Oslo process by provoking the Intifada through overreacting
to
the
demonstrations on 29.9.2000 against Sharon's visit at Haram al-Sharif.
It was no coincidence that at the begining of October 2000 the US
expert
Anthony Cordesman published IOF's master plan under the name "Field of
Thorns"

(7) 40 000-year-old mammoths in the Arctic were hunted by humans
{But talking of "OUR" ancestors is risky. They hunters could have been
Eskimo types}

New theory of early human migration patterns 06/08/2004 18:51
Russian scientists discovered ancient mammoth site right past the
polar
circle
(at 66 degree latitude).
The find proves the fact that humans inhabited the territory past the
polar
circle much earlier than was originally thought. According to their
hypothesis, Eurasia could not have been first inhabited not from the
abundant
Southern lands (as modern science assumes) but from the harsh North
instead.
They consider that at some point, Northern climate used to be warm and
living
conditions were remarkably beneficial. Society blossomed, people did
not
hunger; there were no diseases, no wars. But then something happened,
some
cataclysm occurred and our ancestors were forced to leave northlands.
Today, two versions prevail: one is strictly academic, based on
archaeological
data and an alternative one, based mainly on various hypotheses,
writes
Russian journal "Itogi".
Those who support the first academic version believe in the fact that
first
humans came to high latitudes from South. "Alternativtsts," on the
contrary,
believe in the existence of a legendary country "Hyperborea", people
of
which
had to migrate to southern territories due to sudden climate change.
Basically, the main question is that whether our ancestors migrated
northward
or vice versa, moved from North to South. It seems, that Russian
scientists
managed to acquire evidences proving the fact that harsh Arctic
climate were
inhabited by humans much earlier than was originally thought. This in
turn
proves the possibility of further migration pattern southward.
The site is located in the republic of Komi, on the banks of the river
Usy,
right past the polar circle. Joint Russian-Norwegian archaeological
expedition
has been working on the site for several years.
One of the leaders of the expedition, senior staff scientist of the
language
and history Institute of the Republic of Komi Pavel Pavlov stated the
following: "In the course of the digs at the place called Mammoth
Kurye,
we"ve
unearthed more than a hundred bones of various animals: northern deer,
horses,
wolfs. One of the bones has an arrow- head stuck in it. However, the
most
fascinating discovery of a mammoth"s tusk with a clear drawing
depicting
several deep incisions made by two different types of instruments."
"Radiocarbon dating method revealed that the tusk is nearly 40 000
years old
and that the incisions have been made by means of two sharp stone
objects.
Interestingly, even the types of stones appear to be different. No one
else
could do this aside from human. The bone quality and that of stone
objects
suggest high level of development of those ancient people of the polar
region," added the scientist.
One of the founders of the International scientific-research movement,
head
of
the expedition "Hyperborea" professor Valeri Demin has no doubts that
North
is
the cradle of humanity.
Official science however never took the "polar concept" seriously. The
so-called "glacial theory" is the most widely accepted. According to
it,
20-15
000 years ago north of Eurasia all through Carpathians was fully
covered
with
thick ice; life was simply non existent in the region.

(1) Informal truce between the Wall Street Zionists and East Asian
nations
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2004 00:41:25 -0400 From: "David Chiang" <chiang.d@worldnet.att.net>
Zionist influence in East Asia remains very politically and
economically
limited. According to Chalmers Johnson, the IMF/Washington Consensus
attempted
to destabilize the East Asian economies in the late 1990's, as
potential
competitors to American economic hegemony, but the effort was mostly
unsuccessful. Robert Rubin, Larry Summers along with hedge funds
associated
with George Soros led the monetary attacks against the various Asian
currencies including the Hong Kong dollar. Both the Japanese and
Chinese
governments are well aware of the Zionist control of the American
financial
system and Wall Street. This is the major unspoken reason for the
development
of an Asian monetary fund that has been strongly opposed by
Washington.
However, I have been told that there remains an informal truce between
the
Wall Street Zionists and East Asian nations at present. With the Iraqi
occupation fiasco, the American government lacks the economic and
military
resources to directly challenge either China or Japan.
(2) China's Multi-polarism Strategy as a containment policy against
the United States
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2004 23:23:38 -0400 From: "Henry C.K. Liu" <hliu@mindspring.com>
The superpower status of the US rests on its unique power projection
capcability, both military and economic. Yet US-led globalization has
a soft
underbelly in that it greatly enhances the power projection capability
of the
victims of globalization, which the US categorically labels as
terrorism. US
economic power projection is based on the co-optation of the financial
and
political elites of all countries to support US-led globalization in a
world
order formula that places the interests of the world's elite in
parallel with
US national interests. Through asymmetrical warfare, the strategic
victims can
hit the US at its home base, notwithstanding the protection offered by
two
oceans and without the help of other governments. Multipolarism is a
outgrowth
of Three Worldism: the First, Second and Third World, each claiming to
be a
polar point of power, not in competition for absolute or standardized
or
conventional power, but each engaging in separate wars of its special
advantage. The First world is left with the US as the sole remaining
super
power after the dissolution of the USSR. Multipolarity in not
geopgraphic, but
distributional. It reflects the structural maldistribution of the
world's
riches, among the super rich, the working rich and the working poor.
The US
military is a paper tiger, not because it is weak, but because it will
not
find any operative opponent. The force structure of the US military
will
increasing be unable to provide US with security or to protect US
interest
around the world, for lack of warring targets. Iraq is a clear example
of
losing the war after the battle was won by the military. To be a
modern super
power, three aspects of power are needed; military, economic and
moral. The US
possesses two of the three, with a visibly self-deceiving moral
posture. Until
the US uses its power to do good, it will not fulfill the role of a
superpower. The challenge the US faces will not come from any other
national
government or another national army, but from the corrosive metabolism
of an
unbalance between power and morality.
(3) The US Dollar's reign as World's Reserve Currency drawing to a
rapid end
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2004 09:21:21 -0400 From: "David Chiang" <chiang.d@worldnet.att.net>
The euro's big chance
June 2004
The dollar's reign as the world's undisputed reserve currency could be
drawing
to a close
Niall Ferguson
http://www.prospect-magazine.co.uk/start.asp?P_Article=12667
"The convention whereby the dollar is given a transcendent value as an
international currency no longer rests on its initial base... The fact
that
many states accept dollars in order to make up for the deficits of the
American balance of payments has enabled the US to be indebted to
foreign
countries free of charge. Indeed, what they owe those countries, they
pay in
dollars that they themselves issue as they wish.
.. This unilateral facility attributed to America has helped spread
the idea
that the dollar is an impartial, international means of exchange,
whereas it
is a means of credit appropriated to one state."
Thus spoke Charles De Gaulle in 1965, from a press conference often
cited by
historians as the beginning of the end of postwar international
monetary
stability. De Gaulle's argument was that the US was deriving unfair
advantages
from being the principal international reserve currency. To be
precise, it was
financing its own balance of payments deficit by selling foreigners
dollars
that were likely to depreciate in value.
The striking thing about De Gaulle's analysis is how very aptly it
describes
the role of the dollar in 2004. That is itself ironic, since the
general's
intention was, if possible, to topple the dollar from its role as the
world's
number one currency. True, pressure on the dollar grew steadily in the
wake of
De Gaulle's remarks. By 1973, if not before, the system of more or
less fixed
exchange rates, devised at Bretton Woods in 1944, was dead, and the
world
entered an era of floating exchange rates and high inflation. Yet,
even in the
darkest days of the 1970s, the dollar did not come close to losing its
status
as a reserve currency. Indeed, so successfully has it continued to
perform
this role that in the past decade some economists have begun speaking
of
Bretton Woods II - with the dollar, once again, as the key currency.
The
question is: how long can this new dollar standard last?
The existence of a dollar standard may come as a surprise to any
American who
has been considering a summer holiday in Europe. With the euro at
$1.18
(compared with 90 cents two years ago), talk of a new era of fixed
exchange
rates seems far-fetched. But "son of Bretton Woods" is not a global
system
(nor, in fact, was Bretton Woods senior). It is primarily an Asian
system.
Pegged to the dollar are the currencies of China, Hong Kong and
Malaysia. Also
linked, less rigidly, are the currencies of India, Indonesia, Japan,
Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
As in the 1960s, it is not difficult to make the case that this system
is
highly beneficial to the US. Over the past decade or so, the American
current
account deficit with the rest of the world for goods, services and
loans has
grown dramatically. Add together the deficits of the past 12 years and
you
arrive at a total external debt of $2.9 trillion. At the end of 2002,
according to the department of commerce, the net international
indebtedness of
the US was equivalent to around a quarter of GDP. Yet as recently as
1988 the
US was still a global net creditor.
This rapid role reversal - from world's banker to world's biggest
debtor - has
had two advantages for Americans. First, it has allowed US business to
invest
substantially (notably in information technology) without requiring
Americans
to reduce their consumption. Between 10 and 20 per cent of all
investment in
the US economy in the past decade has been financed out of the savings
of
foreigners, allowing Americans to spend and spend. The personal
savings rate
is less than half of what it was in the 1980s.
The second payoff, however, has taken the form of tax cuts rather than
private
sector investment. The dramatic shift in the finances of the federal
government from surplus to deficit since 2000 - a deterioration
unprecedented
in peacetime, according to the IMF - has been substantially funded
from
abroad. Had that not been the case, the combination of tax cuts,
increased
spending and reduced revenue that has characterised President Bush's
fiscal
policy would have led to much more severe increases in long-term US
interest
rates. Veterans of the Nixon and Reagan years can only shake their
heads
enviously at the way the present Republican administration has escaped
punishment for its profligacy. To run deficits on this scale while
enjoying
long-term bond yields of under 5 per cent looks like the biggest free
lunch in
modern economic history. The cost of servicing the federal debt has
actually
fallen under Bush, even as the total debt itself has risen.
The reason is simply that foreigners are willing to buy the new bonds
issued
by the US treasury at remarkably high prices. In the past ten years,
the share
of the privately held federal debt in foreign hands has risen from 20
to
nearly 45 per cent. Just who is buying up all these dollar-denominated
bonds,
apparently oblivious to the possibility that, if past performance is
anything
to go by, their value could quite suddenly drop? The answer is that
the
purchases are being made not by private investors but by public
institutions -
the central banks of Asia.
Between January 2002 and December 2003, the Bank of Japan's foreign
exchange
reserves increased by $266bn. Those of China, Hong Kong and Malaysia
rose by
$224bn. Taiwan acquired more than $80bn. Nearly all of this increase
took the
form of purchases of US dollars and dollar-denominated bonds. In the
first
three months of this year alone, the Japanese bought another $142bn.
The Asian
central banks' motivation for doing so is simple: to prevent their own
currencies from appreciating relative to the dollar - because a weak
dollar
would hurt their own exports to the mighty American market. Were it
not for
these interventions, the dollar would certainly have depreciated
relative to
the Asian currencies, as it has against the euro. But the Asian
authorities
are willing to spend whatever it takes of their own currency to keep
the
dollar exchange rate steady.
This, then, is Bretton Woods junior: an Asian system of pegged
exchange rates
which keeps the Asian economies' exports competitive in the US while
at the
same time giving Americans a seemingly limitless low interest credit
facility
to run up huge private and public sector debts.
In one respect, at least, the claim that the world has unwittingly
reinvented
Bretton Woods is convincing. Taking a long view, the real
trade-weighted
exchange rate of the dollar has proved remarkably stable. It
experienced bouts
of appreciation in the early 1980s and the late 1990s, but then
reverted to
something like a mean value. Right now it is less than 10 per cent
below where
it was in 1973. And where the new system differs from the old is to
the
advantage of the former. The original Bretton Woods was premised on a
fixed
link between the dollar and gold. Remember the plot of Goldfinger? The
prosperity of the cold war era supposedly rested on the foundation of
the Fort
Knox gold reserve. But that made the system vulnerable to speculation
by
foreigners who, like De Gaulle, decided they would rather hold gold
than
dollars. This time around there is only the dollar. The world's
monetary
system is built on paper.
But here's the catch. The proponents of the new Bretton Woods seem to
see it
as a system with a boundless, rosy future. The Asians, so the argument
goes,
will keep on buying dollars and US treasuries because they so
desperately need
to avoid a dollar slide, and because there is no theoretical limit on
how much
of their own currency they can print purely in order to make their
dollar
purchases. In any case, why should foreigners not want to invest in
the US? It
is, as numerous Wall Street practitioners have told me over the past
few
months, the place to invest now that recovery is under way. "Where
else are
they going to go?" one Wall Street banker asked me last month, with a
rather
superior sneer. "Europe?"
But this optimistic conventional wisdom overlooks a number of big
differences
between the 1960s and the present. American deficits under the old
Bretton
Woods system were insignificant; the US was running current account
surpluses
throughout the decade. People then were worried about the fact that
Americans
were investing quite substantially abroad, though that was
counterbalanced by
inflows of foreign capital. But mainly they were worried that overseas
dollar
holdings were outstripping the Federal Reserve's stock of gold. Today
the US
is running up huge deficits, while international capital flows are
much
larger. So, consequently, are the potential strains on a system of
fixed
exchange rates.
Whatever its virtues, the Bretton Woods system did not last long. If
you count
only the period when the dollar and the major European currencies were
truly
convertible into gold at the agreed rates, it lasted ten years
(1958-68).
There are reasons to think that this Asian son of Bretton Woods could
prove
equally ephemeral. And the aftermath of its breakdown could be as
painful as
the crisis of the mid-1970s.
For all the mystical appeal of the dollar bill, it is not a piece of
gold.
Since the end of gold convertibility, a dollar has been little more
than a
flimsy piece of printed paper that costs around three cents to
manufacture.
The design with which we are familiar dates back to 1957, since then,
as a
result of inflation, it has lost 84 per cent of its purchasing power.
Tell the
Japanese that they are the lucky members of a "dollar standard" and
they will
laugh. In 1971 a dollar was worth more than 350 yen; today it hovers
around 100.
Until very recently, the frailty of the dollar has not really
mattered. We
have forgiven it the periodic bouts of depreciation for the simple
reason that
there has been no alternative. The sheer scale of American trade (the
prices
of so many commodities from oil to gold are quoted in dollars) means
the
dollar has remained the world's favourite currency and the first
choice for
settling international balances.
Yet no monetary system lasts forever. A hundred years ago, sterling
was the
world's number one currency. Yet Britain's soaring indebtedness during
and
after the first world war created an opportunity for the dollar to
stake a
claim first to equality and then to superiority. This pattern could
repeat
itself, for there is a new kid on the international monetary block.
And few
Americans have grasped that this new kid, despite the flaws of his
parents, is
a plausible contender for the top job.
Whatever you may think about the EU as a political entity, there is no
denying
that the currency it has spawned has what it takes to rival the dollar
as the
international reserve currency. First, eurozone GDP is not so very
much less
than that of the US - 16 per cent of world output in 2002, compared
with 21
per cent for the US. Second, unlike the US, the eurozone runs current
account
surpluses; there is plenty of slack in European demand. Third, and in
my view
most important, since the creation of the euro, more international
bonds have
been issued in euros than dollars. Before 1999, around 30 per cent of
total
international bonds were issued in the euro's predecessor currencies,
compared
with more than 50 per cent in dollars. In the past five years, the
euro has
accounted for 47 per cent to the dollar's 44 per cent.
Could this mark a turning point? Last month, at a dinner held in
London by one
of the biggest US banks for around 18 clients at other major City
institutions, I posed the question: who thought the euro could
plausibly
replace the dollar as the principal international reserve currency? No
fewer
than six thought it could - and were prepared to admit it before their
American hosts. When I asked a smaller group of Wall Street bankers
the same
question, they were more doubtful - though one observed that the euro
is
already the preferred currency of organised crime because, unlike the
Fed,
which no longer issues bills with a value above $100, the European
Central
Bank issues a high-denomination E500 note. That makes it possible to
cram
around E7m into a briefcase - which can come in useful in some parts
of
Colombia. Maybe on Wall Street too.
The future of the Asian Bretton Woods system - and indeed of this
year's US
recovery - depends on the willingness of Asian institutions to go on
(and on
and on) buying dollars and dollar-denominated bonds. But why should
they, if
the Japanese economy is - as now seems to be the case - finally coming
out of
its deflationary slump? In any case, Japan's intervention has not been
wholly
successful in stemming the dollar's slide: over the past two years,
the yen
has gone from 135 to 110 against the dollar. In yen terms, the returns
on the
Bank of Japan's dollar portfolio have been decidedly negative.
Moreover, reliance on exports to the US may not be a long-term option
for
Asia. In a recent lecture in Washington, Larry Summers, the former US
treasury
secretary, argued that the US has no alternative but to increase its
savings
rates if it is to extricate itself from "the most serious problem of
low
national saving, resulting in dependence on foreign capital, and
fiscal
unsustainability, that we have faced in the last 50 years." His
conclusion is
that the world can no longer count on the US to be the consumer of
first
resort, which means in turn that "the growth plans of others that rely
on
export-led growth will need to be adjusted in the years ahead."
The Asian dollar dilemma is the euro's opportunity, both economically
and
politically. First, if the US does cease to be the only functioning
engine of
global demand, it is imperative that the eurozone step up to the
plate, and
soon. For too long the European Central Bank has made price stability
the
"magnetic north" of its policy compass. It has not spent enough time
thinking
about growth in Europe and the world. For too long ECB interest rates
have
been about a percentage point above the Fed's, despite the fact that
deflation
is a bigger threat to the core German economy than it ever has been to
the US.
The president of the ECB is now a Frenchman. Maybe Jean-Claude Trichet
should
remind himself of some history. Thirty-nine years ago, the dollar was
coming
under pressure as US entanglement in a messy postcolonial war began to
grow.
It was Charles De Gaulle who called time on the Bretton Woods system,
which,
he alleged, obliged European economies to import American inflation.
This is
the moment for someone to call time on Bretton Woods junior. Asians
and
Europeans alike need to sell their goods somewhere other than to
profligate
America. And they need to recognise that the emergence of the euro as
an
alternative reserve currency to the dollar creates a chance to
fundamentally
shift the centre of gravity of the international economy.
If the Europeans seize their chance, Americans could face the end of
half a
century of dollar domination. Does it matter? You bet it does. For if
Asian
institutions start rebalancing their portfolios by switching from
dollars to
euros, it will become harder than it has been for many years for the
US to
fund its private and public sector consumption at what are, in terms
of the
returns to foreign lenders, low or negative real interest rates. (Do
the
maths: the return on a US ten-year treasury a year ago was around 4
per cent,
but the dollar has declined relative to the Japanese currency by 9 per
cent in
the same period.)
Losing that subsidy - in effect, the premium foreigners are willing to
pay for
the sake of holding the world's favourite currency - could be costly.
For a
rise in US long-term interest rates to the levels recently predicted
by the
economist Paul Krugman (a ten-year bond rate of 7 per cent, a mortgage
rate of
8.5 per cent) would have two devastating economic consequences. Not
for big US
corporations - they are hedged (more than five eighths of all
derivative
contracts are based on interest rates). But a 3 percentage point jump
in
long-term rates would whack first the federal government and then US
homeowners with considerable force. For neither the US treasury nor
the
average US household is even a little bit hedged. The term structure
of the
federal debt is amazingly short: 35 per cent of it has a maturity of
less than
one year, meaning that higher rates would feed through almost
instantly into
debt service costs (and into the deficit). Meanwhile, even as rates
have been
nudging upwards, the proportion of new American mortgages that are
adjustable-rate rather than fixed has risen from around 12 per cent in
late
2002 to 32 per cent.
The geopolitical implications of this are worth pondering. A rise in
American
interest rates has the potential not just to slow down the US
recovery; it
could also cause the federal fiscal deficit to leap even higher. Under
the
circumstances, the pressure will increase to reduce discretionary
spending,
and that usually turns out to mean defence spending. It will get
steadily
harder to sell an expensive occupation of Iraq to a population
groaning under
rising debt service payments and alarmed by spiralling fiscal
deficits.
Meanwhile the Europeans will have added another string to their
internationalist bow: not only will they be bigger contributors to aid
and
peace-keeping than the US; they will also be the supplier of the
world's
favourite money.
Such historical turning points are hard to identify. It is not clear
when
exactly the dollar usurped the pound. But once it did, the turnaround
was
rapid. If the euro has already nudged in front, it may not be long
before oil
producers club together to price their black gold in the European
currency (an
idea that must surely appeal to anti-American producers like Venezuela
and
Malaysia). World money does not mean world power: the EU is still very
far
from being able to match the US when it comes to hard military power.
But
losing the position of number one currency would without question
weaken the
economic foundations of that hard power.
As the ghastly implications of the demise of the dollar sink in across
the US,
the spectre of General De Gaulle will savour his belated vindication.

(4) Hitler cf the Gold Standard
Phil Eversoul <Philev@e-znet.com>
and "Max" <Max@mailstar.net>
both advocate a
return to the Gold Standard, yet both are admirers of Hitler, who
rejected it.
I drew this contradiction to their attention, forwarding to them the
following, which turned up in my mail:
"We were not foolish enough to try to make a currency coverage of gold
of
which we had none, but for every mark that was issued we required the
equivalent of a mark's worth of work done or goods produced. . . .we
laugh
at the time our national financiers held the view that the value of a
currency is regulated by the gold and securities lying in the vaults
of a
state bank."
-Adolf Hitler, 1937 (CC Veith, Citadels of Chaos, Meador, 1949.)
"And it proved sound. It worked. In less than ten years Germany
became easily the most powerful state in Europe. It worked so
magically and magnificently that it sounded the death knell of the
entire Jewish money system. World Jewry knew that they had to
destroy Hitler's system, by whatever means might prove necessary,
or their own [system] would necessarily die.
And if it died, with it must die their dream and their hope of making
themselves masters of the world. The primary issue over which World
War II was fought was to determine which money system was to
survive. At bottom it was not a war between Germany and the so-
called allies. Primarily it was war to the death between Germany and
the International Money Power."
- William Gayley Simpson, 'Which Way Western Man' (p.642)
Their replies follow.
They reiterate the line, "Hitler didn't want the War".
Hitler did want a war, but not the one he got. He wanted Britain to
let him
destroy the Soviet Union. Seeking an alliance with the British Empire,
he
halted his troops near Dunkirk, allowing the British to escape.
William Engdahl wrote,
'He was determined to give England convincing proof of his ultimate
good will
towards the British Empire, by allowing the elite of Britain's
fighting forces
to escape to England. ...
'Hitler had written then in "Main Kampf," about Germany's future and
the need
for Lebensraum. "If one wanted land and soil in Europe, then by and
large this
could only have been done at Russia's expense, and then the new Reich
would
again have to start marching along the road of the Knights of the
Order of
former times.
'"For such a policy, however," wrote Hitler, "there was only one
single ally
in Europe--England. With England alone, one's back being covered,
could one
begin the new Germanic invasion...To gain England's favor, no
sacrifice should
have been too great. Then one would have had to renounce colonies and
sea
power, but to spare British industry our competition."'

Britain's refusal led him to temporarily ally with Stalin:

His alliance with Japan was initially directed against the USSR, but
Hitler's
pact with Stalin confused it, and led to the Japanese developing a
Strike-South policy faction which led (with American provocation) to
the
Pacific War.
Even if one credits Hitler with a certain genius in devising a new
econmomic
system, isn't it hypocritical to condemn Sharon and Bush for military
adventurism, while condoning Hitler's?
(5) Keep the money-supply constant
{Does this mean absolutely, or relative to the population, i.e.
per-person?}
Date: Sun, 06 Jun 2004 01:44:10 -0700 From: Phil Eversoul <Philev@e-znet.com>
A gold-based monetary system is preferable to a fiat currency system,
but it
is not necessary. Just preferable. The real point is to keep the total
amount
of currency in circulation relatively steady, neither increasing it or
decreasing it by appreciable amounts, especially not suddenly. A
gold-backed
currency meets this criterion.
However, if a fiat currency system can meet this criterion, then it
can serve
as well as a gold-backed currency. It is harder to do this and
requires strict
honesty and integrity by the money managers.
What you have to understand, and what no one I know of outside of the
Austrian
School understands, is that ANY total amount of currency will suffice
as well
as any other total amount. The entire economy of China could be
monetized at
one yuan, and it would work as well as $10 million yuan or $100
billion yuan.
It makes absolutely no difference what the total amount to be
monetized is.
What matters is to keep the total amount as constant as feasible.
Let me make my point even stronger: the entire world economy could be
sufficiently monetized at one dollar. It could be sufficiently
monetized at $1
million dollars or $1 billion dollars. It makes absolutely no
difference,
except in terms of convenience. Why? Because the underlying logic and
mathematics are the same no matter what amount you set the total
currency
amount at. Logically and mathematically, a total monetization of one
dollar is
exactly the SAME as a total monetization of $10 billion or $10
quadrillion. In
other words, the ratios between the money supply and prices are
exactly the
SAME, no matter what the amount of total monetization. What changes is
merely
the NOMINAL value. You can't change the underlying reality --the
ratios
between the money and prices -- by changing the total money supply
from $10
million to $20 million, or to any other amount.
Why, then, is there such a strong tendency for the money supply, in
modern
monetary systems, to increase? For a very simple reason: there is a
TIME LAG
between the time that new money is injected into the system and the
time that
prices are able to respond to the new injection. There is no
announcement in
the newspaper that the Central Bank has just injected a certain amount
of new
money into the economy, although of course from time to time there is
an
assessment and announcement of what the interest rates are and what
the total
money supply is. Therefore, until the new money is absorbed into the
price
matrix through neutralization of its effect, the new money has the
advantage
of being able to buy at yesterday's prices. In effect and in
substance, the
new money is counterfeit.
Inflation is a sophisticated, legalized counterfeiting scheme, whose
purpose
is to STEAL by means of ILLUSION. If there were not the aforementioned
time
lag, so that prices might instantly reflect the new injection of
money, there
would be NO POINT to inflation, and central banks would not engage in
it. The
whole point of inflationary policy is the time lag, which allows
legalized
stealing to occur before prices can adjust. The ILLUSION would not
exist,
except for the time lag.
Now, back to the gold question. If the amount of currency in
circulation
(paper, coin, electronic digits, or whatever) has to be backed by gold
or
silver, and if this correspondence between the the real physical,
objective
money and its mathematical representation is regularly audited, then
inflation
would be much more difficult, and hence stealing via inflation would
be much
more difficult. When the mathematical representation of money can be
issued
without the necessity of an objective correlative, i.e., fiat
currency, then
new money can issued at will, and this will be a powerful incentive to
steal
-- legally, of course.
As to Hitler's economic system, the German people are among the most
honest
and industrious in the world. If any people were capable of making a
fiat
currency system work without stealing by means of inflation, it would
be the
German people. Yes, they had a hyperinflation in 1923, but that was
due to the
consequences of the Versailles Treaty and the attempted communist
revolutions
in Germany (approved by the Versailles powers) in 1919-1920. It was
the
intention of the Versailles powers, especially France, to ruin
Germany.
When William Simpson says that "primarily it was war to the death
between
Germany and the International Money Power," we can deconstruct that to
say
that the war was to the death between the ideal of independent white
nationalism and the goals of the Jewish-Anglo-American
internationalism -- the
New World Order in which international capitalism and international
communism
were to be merged, and through which all independent nationalisms
(except that
of Israel) were to be destroyed.
As to the Jews' ownership of the gold system, that is not the fault of
the
gold system. That is a political issue. If Hitler had had gold, he
would have
used it, but he didn't, so he had to think of something else.
One last point. A great advantage of the gold standard is that all
commodities
in all countries can be measured in terms of it, rather than in terms
of the
hugely complex system of exchange rates between currencies. For
example, it
might take two ounces of gold to buy an ox in Thailand, compared with
an ounce
and a half to buy a comparable ox in China, or an ounce and three
quarters in
Argentina. It's simple. And it's in terms of something that's
weighable,
measurable, portable, and easily divisible. It's hard to cheat with
that kind
of money; it's universal and objective.
(6) Hitler cf Gold
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2004 09:27:12 +0800 From: "Max" <Max@mailstar.net>
The world's present finance system is not based on production of
wealth
through work, but on distribution of wealth through money, which one
can buy
and sell. This is possible because people are willing to accept some
rare
commodities like "gold" as ultimate storage of wealth. Gold,
historically used
and accepted as a base for most currency systems, bears its value for
the
future to serve as a bridge currency for fluctuations in uncertain
times. The
current monetary systems extract wealth from the economy via interest,
and at
the same time destroy this wealth (generated by work) through the
accounting
system, which cancels the debt with a credit entry on the account.
True wealth
generated by work, is like this permanently destroyed, and only the
profits
derived via interest can eventually be converted into lasting values
like gold
and remain.
Long as wealth is based on gold; it makes perfect sense to push for
wars.
While wars destroy the true wealth in economic terms, gold cannot be
destroyed
and remains in the hands of the financiers, who will use it to rebuild
the
economy with even greater profits.
Hitler created a finance and monetary system that was for the first
time no
longer based on gold (which he did not have anyway), but on the trust
in the
abilities for wealth creation of his communities through work. To make
their
working success visible, Hitler participated them as shareholders.
Gold was
reduced to decorational and ceremonial purpose and had otherwise only
a value
when dealing with the International finance world.
This was a dangerous situation for the International financiers, and
when ever
their system was endangered, they had nothing to lose and all to gain,
when
pushing for war.
It is obvious that Hitler became with his finance system a threat to
the
International financiers, and it is likely (amongst other reasons)
that he was
forced into war by the Elite, and thereafter scorned and his system
ridiculed,
in order to discourage others from copying this concept of nation
building and
wealth creation. With Bretton Woods, the Elite established its gold
backed
currency as backbone for all International currencies. Countries were
asked to
establish a value for their own currencies by buying respective
amounts of
those gold backed 'conversion promised' paper notes. i.e. converting
their
true wealth, created via work, into gold. When too many countries
found gold
to be more valuable than those paper notes, they demanded conversion
into
gold. As this gold was never around anyway, the Elite decided to turn
those
notes into 'paper tokens' by changing the backing 1971 - first into
'plain
trust in the (global) economic performance' and when this was accepted
they
started indirectly 1974 a second currency with the 'petro-dollar'
backed by
the worlds energy commodity 'Oil' , only traded by a handful of their
banks
but compulsory for all traders.
Today all currencies are no longer gold based. Still the old economic
and
accounting rules along with International trade dependencies prevent
us from
starting a new system that would free us from the vicious cycles and
dependencies on the Elite.
The predicted burst of the bubble will give birth to the split of the
two
currency systems and create an internal and external currency control
system
for the Elite.
Currencies essentially reflect peoples trust in their local buying
value.
However International trade dependencies demand an external value of
exchange.
This calls basically for a dual currency system for every nation (just
as
China has), or else countries are forced to find their own mechanisms
of
settlement. This is where after WWII the Elite stepped in, (converting
their
colonies into a large membership base of this International control) -
tempting nations into a complex setup, which is essentially controlled
by
them, operated by BIS, and follows the rules dictated by IMF.
Internationalism
and globalization synchronized the world since into further
dependencies.
Those powerful forces and IMF regulations prevent the emergence of a
dual
system to BIS, and hence the world remains trapped. There are
alternative
efforts of generating a base for trade settlement. Amongst them are
Asian and
Islamic countries (AMF Asia Monetary Fund and Gold Dinar), which might
some
day proof their value as a regional settlement hub. They might also
become a
stepping stone for the Elites globalization efforts to build
geopolitical
control clusters like in the EU. Unless those clusters are driven by
strong
visionaries, their bureaucrats will fall soon or later victim to the
Elite,
which has vision and strategy.
Irrespective from the political development, it is unlike that the
world is
moving in the third millennium, back into deeper exploitation of
mineral
values, through endless new technologies, and base their currency and
value
exchange in finite resources. We are more likely to see in the future
a
bio-diversity in value propositions, and hence the Elite is attempting
to
create energy and food dependencies, and force the world via them to
stay
within the framework of their 'control and power'.
(7) Hitler's economic strategy
Date: Sat, 5 Jun 2004 22:30:21 +0800 From: "Max" <Max@mailstar.net>
... Since independence, Asian clan cultures progressed in less than 50
years
from a low-level command over science - and quickly caught up with the
West.
In some areas they have even surpassed the West. One of those superior
systems
we see in the dual currency system of China that helps them to control
and
shield national interests against external controlling attempts of the
Elite.
Neither system is backed by gold. Nobody discusses it. Is it because
the
figure head Hitler is not behind it or because countries like China
don't like
to admit that their currencies are all not backed by gold and are only
measured in trading value against the Elites paper token or per
deposit
arrangement negotiated with BIS.
... His concept was so revolutionary, that it became dangerous. While
Russia
killed during 1933 and 1938 under Stalin over 7 million people, Hitler
performed this miracle and turned 7 million technicians and workers
from
jobless nobodies into working shareholders of their economic success
of
Germany. Germany never knew union problems as all took ownership of
their
success. Hitler did not understand the conspiracy or else he would
have acted
quite differently. He only smelled the direction from where all the
evil
conditions of the 'Dictate of Versailles' originated. His main
concerns were
obviously to rebuild pre-WWI Germany and to return to old values. His
approach
was backward oriented. He was the man to lead Germany out of the
disastrous
Weimar Republic, but his concepts for reestablishing old German
borders and
self-esteem failed. His geopolitical approach was wrong and his wars
too! But
would the Elite have negotiated with him and returned old German
borders to
him and granted him control over his domain?
Communal understanding in its extreme form - eventually ends in
nationalism,
which if demonstrated with strength and aggressions, ends always up in
disaster. This is the part, which few will endorse. But was this the
reason
for the war or was it the economic success and backing of the currency
system?
According to the German historic writer Rainer Zitelman, Hitler was
not a
'Conservative Nationalist' - but a 'Social Revolutionist'. He did not
want the
war. Since Russian archives are open today we know that Stalin decided
on his
war attack to start on July 6th 1941, forcing the Wehrmacht to the
preventive
hit on June 22nd. Hitler send Rudolph Hess on May 10th 1938 to England
to
negotiate a peace for Europe, which the Elite rejected. Today they
have to ask
themselves why they really declared war on September 3rd 1939 that
turned
Great Britain into Small Britain and cost France its colonies, which
turned in
Africa into Islamic fundamentalist coasts.
In all fairness however, Hitler's economical success strategy could
not have
been that wrong. He managed to resist the Elite by creating autonomy
via work
and trust. This was essentially reintroduced in 1971 in a slightly
altered way
by Nixon/Kissinger, who demanded trust into their paper tokens - based
on
their acceptance as payment for any performance of the global economy
- but
only benefiting the ownership of the issuers of this token. Again the
big
difference to Hitler is that the people don't participate in the
success and
are becoming increasingly world-wide jobless as the fruit of their
work is
siphoned off via International financiers and their interest and
devaluation methods.
The current backing of their paper tokens show that Hitler's economic
concept
is still feasible today, since all currencies are fiat and are only
based on
trust. If the peg is gold or trust seems to make no difference.
We have seen recently those poor neighbors who joined the EU. If the
value of
a currency would be based on the stock keeping record of gold or
economic
strength and sophistication, the Euro should have dropped. Instead it
moved
even slightly up - not because of the new members, but because of the
economical situation with the dollar and the oil price, and the Elites
wish,
who after all control the price levels anyway. ...
