The document outlines 10 key things voters should know about the economy before the November election, including:
1) The debate between "supply-side" and "demand-side" economic theories.
2) Arguments around tax policy and the federal budget deficit.
3) The Federal Reserve's role in monetary policy and managing interest rates.
4) The rising federal debt and questions around spending vs. balancing the budget.

CNN covered the unfolding financial crisis and housing meltdown over several years through numerous reports:
- In 2005, Greenspan expressed concerns about exotic mortgages and a potential downturn hurting the housing market.
- By 2007, articles discussed rising foreclosures and steps homeowners could take to avoid them, with experts warning of mounting stress on the economy.
- In 2008, CNN questioned views that downplayed the crisis and educated viewers on economic terms, and explored the causes of institutions like Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers collapsing.
- Coverage continued into 2009-2010 with discussions of government responses, reform bills, and stories of individual impacts, with over half of Americans saying they felt effects of unemployment

- In 2005, Greenspan expressed concerns about exotic mortgage products and a potential downturn hurting the housing market.
- By 2007, articles discussed rising foreclosures and steps homeowners could take to avoid them. Experts warned mounting foreclosures would stress the economy.
- In 2008, CNN questioned views that downplayed the crisis and explained economic terms to viewers. Reports analyzed the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers.
- Coverage continued in 2009 with discussions of the recession's impacts, the new HUD Secretary's plans to address the crisis, and more than half of Americans feeling negative effects by 2010
The document discusses the housing bubble and its causes. It argues that loose monetary policy and government policies promoting homeownership led to a misallocation of resources and artificial inflation of housing prices. This created a bubble that has now burst, leading to an economic recession. In the long run, there is a concern that the government failures that caused the crisis will not be admitted and more power will be given to the same mechanisms that caused the problems.
Global debt crisis honors forum 9 28-11John Bradford
The document summarizes key concepts related to the global debt crisis, including:
1. Exponential growth in areas like population, money supply, and oil extraction cannot continue indefinitely in a finite world and have contributed to current economic problems.
2. Money is a social construct representing credit and debt relationships, but the modern financial system treats money and debt as assets subject to exponential growth through practices like fractional-reserve banking and securitization.
3. Inequality has increased substantially in recent decades as wealth has concentrated among a small percentage of the population while debt levels have risen exponentially, posing risks to economic and financial stability.

The document proposes four multi-trillion dollar paths to a thriving America: 1) Sovereign money or debt-free money, 2) Land value taxation (Georgism), 3) Public banking, and 4) Ending government financial asset hoarding. Each path is estimated to be worth over $1 trillion per year. The document then provides more details on sovereign money, land value taxation, and public banking. It argues that sovereign money could fund infrastructure and social programs without inflation. It explains how land value, not buildings, determines home values and proposes taxing land values instead of wages and sales. It also outlines the benefits of public banking compared to private banks, using the Bank of North Dakota as an example
This document presents the argument for establishing a public bank. It begins by outlining budget problems faced by states and municipalities, noting that the Federal Reserve will not bail them out. It then discusses why a public bank, like North Dakota's, is a solution. North Dakota's bank earns profits for the state while supporting community banks and economic growth. In contrast, large private banks engage in risky derivatives trading and do not significantly support local communities through lending. The document advocates for states to establish their own public banks as a safer alternative.
The recent American election continues to have the world on edge. Seemingly every media outlet and investment manager around the world continues to hammer away at the bad or good that will be created by the actions of the new President.
This is a mistake.
While the entire world continues to be focused on President Trump and American Politics, it has become completely distracted as to what is happening in Europe.
Europe remains a pile of timber and in this issue of the IceCap Global Outlook, we describe how dramatic swings in politics and interest rates will be the spark that reignites the crisis in the old world.
The document summarizes a program called the Lazarus Trinity Program that aims to solve the global financial crisis using large heritage funds that were originally intended to help people worldwide. It involves cooperation between major global financial entities like the Federal Reserve, IMF, and World Bank to facilitate currency exchange and movement of funds. The program manager will oversee the utilization of the heritage funds according to their original purpose of benefitting all people during times of crisis. Cooperation from these key players is needed to maintain currency balances and authenticity while vast funds are exchanged and monitored on a continuous basis throughout the year.
This document provides demographic and economic data about low-income households in the United States. Some key points:
- Approximately 44.5 million households, or 42% of all US households, earn less than $35,000 per year. 9.5% of these households, around 8.4-9.6 million, do not have a bank account.
- Those without bank accounts tend to have annual incomes under $25,000, be headed by someone with less than a high school education, and are disproportionately African American or Hispanic.
- These unbanked households use alternative financial services like check cashers and payday lenders, despite their high fees, because mainstream banks' products do not meet
Pete Peterson welcomed attendees to the 2010 Fiscal Summit and emphasized the urgent need to address America's unsustainable fiscal policies and long-term structural deficits. He highlighted three main goals of the summit: 1) defining the fiscal challenge, 2) outlining solutions, and 3) educating the public. Peterson argued that without reform, interest costs and entitlement programs will consume all revenue within 12 years. He called for a bipartisan approach including both spending cuts and tax increases, and reforms to healthcare, Social Security, and the tax code. Peterson expressed hope that America could overcome this challenge through courage and commitment, as it had overcome greater deficits after World War II.
This document presents four multi-trillion dollar paths to a thriving America based on the book "America is Not Broke". The four paths are: 1) Sovereign Money, which argues the government should create debt-free money; 2) Land Value Taxation, which advocates taxing the value of land; 3) Public Banking; and 4) Ending Government Financial Asset Hoarding. The document focuses on explaining Sovereign Money and Land Value Taxation in more detail. It argues that governments could fund public services through collecting $5.3 trillion in economic rent from land rather than through other taxes.
This document discusses preparations individuals can make as the U.S. dollar faces risks of devaluation or hyperinflation due to unsustainable government debt and deficits. It recommends getting out of Treasury bonds, investing some cash in currencies of U.S. creditor nations like China, opening an offshore bank account in Switzerland, keeping stashes of foreign currencies, silver coins, and gold coins to preserve purchasing power outside of dollars. The overall message is the dollar's value and status as the world's reserve currency are at risk so diversifying out of dollars into tangible and foreign assets is prudent.
MODERN MONEY: The way a sovereign currency “works”DevinDSmith
Presentation by L. Randall Wray at the conference: Central Banks, Financial Systems, and Economic Development, Banco Central de la Republica Argentina in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 10/2/2012
This document provides a step-by-step guide to help consumers choose the best mortgage. It discusses:
1. Defining what is affordable, understanding your credit, choosing between fixed and adjustable rates, selecting the right down payment, and understanding how points affect interest rates.
2. The importance of understanding your credit report and score to qualify for the best rate. Correcting any errors can improve your score.
3. Different types of mortgages and their tradeoffs (fixed vs adjustable rates), the importance of understanding prepayment options, and being wary of risky loan features like balloons payments or prepayment penalties.
4. Steps to take like getting estimates of total monthly costs, calculating the
This guide helps consumers navigate the mortgage process in 8 steps: 1) defining what is affordable, 2) understanding your credit, 3) choosing between fixed and adjustable rates, 4) selecting a down payment amount, 5) understanding how points affect interest rates, 6) shopping with multiple lenders, 7) choosing a mortgage, and 8) avoiding pitfalls. The goal is to find the best mortgage to fit the consumer's financial situation through informed decision making at each step.
The document analyzes the cognitive and behavioral factors behind the 2008 financial crisis. It discusses how herd behavior, the availability heuristic, and groupthink led to ill-advised decisions that propagated the crisis. Herd behavior explained the housing bubble as investors followed each other into the overheated market. It also contributed to the boom and bust of the mortgage-backed securities market. The availability heuristic and groupthink affected decision making at financial institutions and government agencies. Letting Lehman Brothers fail unexpectedly triggered a global recession due to a loss of confidence propagating through herd behavior.
Transparency In Politics: The Need For Government AccountabilityDebra Ray
The document discusses the history and role of the Federal Reserve and arguments for and against increasing oversight and auditing of the Fed. It notes that former Fed chair Alan Greenspan warned of abnormal low interest rates and a bond market bubble in 2017. While the Fed knew of dangerous mortgage products in 2002, it focused on financial education rather than stronger consumer protection laws. There are calls from all political parties to audit the Fed to increase its accountability.

Agcapita is Canada's only RRSP and TFSA eligible farmland fund and is part of a family of funds with over $100 million in assets under management. Agcapita believes farmland is a safe investment, that supply is shrinking and that unprecedented demand for "food, feed and fuel" will continue to move crop prices higher over the long-term. Agcapita created the Farmland Investment Partnership to allow investors to add professionally managed farmland to their portfolios.
This document discusses money, banking, debt, and inflation. It argues that private and central banks have manufactured too much money through lending and monetary policy, leading to high debt levels globally. To avoid widespread defaults, the political system will choose inflation over deflation, benefiting borrowers over savers. The document predicts moderate but sustained inflation for the next 15 years as debt levels slowly shrink, increasing the price of gold substantially. It advises investing in gold and gold stocks to protect from currency debasement and the effects of continued money printing.
1. The Federal Reserve controls the money supply through tools like open market operations, adjusting the discount rate, and setting reserve requirements for banks.
2. Changing the money supply can influence interest rates and inflation. Increasing the money supply may lower interest rates in the short run but cause inflation in the long run, while decreasing the money supply may raise interest rates and potentially lead to deflation.
3. Discretionary income, or money people have left to spend or save after basic expenses, is an important factor in how monetary policy affects consumption. However, high consumer debt loads in the 1990s limited the impact of lower interest rates on spending.
The document provides an introduction to the weird and wonderful world of behavioural finance and economics. It discusses how human decision making is influenced by factors like mood, peers, and default options. Some key points made include that seasonal affective disorder can influence financial decisions by making people more pessimistic; unexpectedly good weather can increase lottery ticket sales by putting people in a better mood; and employees' pension choices are often influenced by the choices of their coworkers, such as following the investment choices of the store butcher. The document aims to help readers better understand human behavior and communicate with customers in a more natural way.
Fiscal and Monetary Policy with a Sovereign currencypkconference
The document discusses modern monetary theory and fiscal policy constraints with a sovereign currency. It argues that a sovereign government is not financially constrained and cannot run out of its own currency. While deficits can cause inflation if too large, the government can always afford to purchase anything for sale in its currency and deficits do not require borrowing. The key constraints are full employment of resources and inflation, not financial constraints, and other limits are political rather than economic.

"Four Horsemen" describes the ways in which our world is slowly folding on itself. It categorizes the four horsemen as a wrongful banking system, escalating violence, an abundance of poverty, and deletion of the world's resources. All these topics are the signs that we have truly doomed ourselves as a nation and as a planet. The underlying kingpin here is money. Everyone, including the government, lives, and works to earn and spend money. There are a variety of different paths to obtain that currency and the banks are at the heart, banks that create this money out of thin air. The film starts by speaking of empires and power. Nations want to be in positions to be on top as a means of security and credibility. Top nations control our world and those who are not, strive to become one. From historic times to now, people and groups want to become the most powerful, and when they do, they obtain all the resources they can do benefit their empires and the leaders become wealthy and untouchable. There is usually one common factor within one's rise to power, and that is money. It earns resources and credibility which makes others become submissive to you. We are supposed to be living within a free market system where everyone has a fair piece of the pie, but that is rarely true today. The way the banks function and government spending only amasses debt that will in turn be paid by the American people. Some of these people live in poverty, meaning they cannot even live anymore. People are expected to pay more for items as the price level rises while many incomes are not following suit. This system leaves those who are poor behind making it nearly impossible for them to catch up. As stated before, government spending can leave a budget deficit that needs to be repaid. Most of these expenditures, however, are on war and violence. International affairs, terrorism, and national crime are all credible threats, and a lot of money goes into limiting it. The resources used to support these organization makes them more powerful and it has transitioned peacekeeping into utter force and violence. Here at home and abroad, war rages daily. From small to large scale conflict is being solved in horrific ways and many innocent people are dying along the way. At the root of all of it, is money and power. A lot of this is also politically inclined. We live in a society in which people are paid just to influence politicians to pass acts that will in turn create more money for people who already have a lot of it. Wealth drives our nation, without it, one is just swept under the carpet. People have worked way too hard to obtain wealth while those in control can create it like none other. This exponential growth has depleted Earth's resources and we are running out fast. With no resources, what is there to gain anymore. The Four Horsemen are the warning signs that our systems are heavily flawed and need to be chan.

This document provides instructions for getting a person out of prison through filing legal paperwork. It outlines 12 steps, including obtaining necessary documents like birth certificates and court records, filling out forms like bonds and affidavits, and filing the paperwork with the appropriate court and officials. Proper order and attachments are emphasized. The goal is to establish ownership of the person's debt and contract through legal documentation in order to secure their release. Caution is advised, as the method described is likely not a legitimate legal process.
The document discusses three approaches to development: the Rights Based approach, Basic Needs approach, and Capability approach. The Rights Based approach views development through the lens of universal human rights to create freedom, justice, and peace. However, it is criticized for being too vague and difficult to implement. The Basic Needs approach focuses on meeting basic material needs like food, water, shelter, and healthcare. But it is limited by not considering higher-level needs. The Capability approach aims to expand people's freedoms and abilities to live fulfilling lives. While comprehensive, it lacks clear guidelines for implementation. In conclusion, the Rights Based approach best promotes fairness but still has room for improvement.

This document warns that inflation is coming to America due to government debt, money printing, and global economic issues. It states that the US national debt is over $14 trillion, and austerity measures will be needed to combat inflation, including spending cuts to public services, tax increases, and delays to entitlement programs. The author advises preparing by investing in specific companies that can withstand inflation, such as gold miners meeting criteria like reserve levels and production costs, as well as firms in industries like agriculture, energy and materials with pricing power.

The document discusses the challenges independent voters face in deciding who to blame for various economic and social issues. It notes that independent voters will decide the next election outcomes. While the left and right each blame the other side, the reality is more complex. The document examines data on economic success globally and finds that some of the conservative Heritage Foundation's assumptions, like the idea that higher government spending or taxes weaken economies, are flawed. Government spending as a percent of GDP actually correlates positively with higher per capita GDP. Other factors beyond those in the Heritage Foundation's index also influence economic success and weakness among nations.

Crusaders took vows and wore crosses to signify their mission. While some early Crusades had successes in retaking territory, others ended in defeat or turning to plunder. Different Christian armies traveled by different routes to Constantinople to begin the coordinated campaign to fight for Christianity in the Eastern lands.

While early economists concluded that more money means more happiness, recent research paints a more complex picture. Studies have found that greater wealth significantly increases happiness by lifting people out of poverty into the middle class, but does little to increase happiness beyond that. Surveys across countries and time periods show that as GDP has risen dramatically in many nations, levels of reported happiness and life satisfaction have remained largely unchanged. While having enough money to meet basic needs improves well-being, desires and wants are effectively limitless, and fulfilling wants provides less happiness than meeting needs. Overall, additional wealth beyond a moderate income does not necessarily translate to higher levels of life satisfaction or pleasure.
Meltdown presentation atca full master Mike HaywardEd Dodds
Mike Hayward: With the help of DK, I have redrafted my Meltdown presentation to be suitable for an International Audience and it is attached below. I have already given this talk at several UK universities with more to come. It is designed multidisciplinary audiences so it is not too technical and is richly illustrated. Please feel free to use and adapt the presentation to suit your own needs and viewpoint. My name is not mentioned in the presentation. The subject is too important to claim authorship or credit.
Summary...... The global debt mountain, peak oil, population growth, resource depletion, population growth, the pension time bomb and climate change are all interconnected.
Meltdown did not occur in October 2008, but we were within 4 hours of it happening. It has only been deferred. Remember, only 3 dozen economists correctly predicted the 2008 global financial crisis, out of a profession of 20,000 members. Not one of the World politicians and Central Bankers saw the crisis coming, but all of them claim to know the remedy. The reasons for the 2008 crash have not gone away. The US housing market is still in freefall and US and European Banks are becoming increasingly insolvent, although they won't admit it. Economic growth will be stifled by rising oil prices. The bailouts are not working. World Politicians, Bankers and Economists are trying to maintain the status quo but they are losing control. Fundamentally, the real systemic causes of the crisis are rarely discussed with transparency and have not been addressed. Fractional Reserve Banking and universal public ignorance of banking practices are the cause of all the our global problems.
The collapse will happen within the next couple of years. The Eurozone or USA will most probably be the epicentre. The interconnectivity of the financial system means we will all be affected. What happens next after the collapse is impossible to predict. History is replete with examples but not on a Global scale. Massive political unrest will prevail. There will be a rise in popularity of extreme left and right political parties.
The document discusses strawberry varieties and chemicals found in strawberries. It mentions some popular varieties like Honeoye, Earliglow, and Allstar. It then discusses comments from a soil science expert, Margaret Reeves, who notes that strawberries contain chemicals like methyl bromide and chloropicrin that can lead to cancer. It also briefly mentions some pesticides commonly found in strawberries.
This document discusses the blended profession of sport coaching and how it integrates within frameworks like the ICCE and SASCOC. It notes that sport plays an important role in many lives and permeates fields like sport sciences and athletic professionals. The essay will define what constitutes a blended profession and the ideologies around acknowledging blended professionals. It will also explore how this relates to coaching as a profession responsible for teaching and mentoring athletes.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

And a Strenuous Appeal
for Positive Solutions
2. Our Fellow Traveler: Jason Hommel has posted
his frustration at failing in his efforts to promote
silver, and honest money.
This brings me to my two burning questions.
1. What do you want? Do you want comparative analysis on
silver stocks? Do you want the moral reasons to buy silver? I
can provide that.
2. Here's what I want. I want to promote silver. So, here's my
question. How can I do this better or differently than I have
done in the past? Help me. Help me reach the masses. What
will it take? How do we do it? I want to start a movement. A
revolution. A peaceful economic revolution. How does this
happen? I don't know. God help me.
But that still does not answer my own question, it just sort of
dances around it. Or, is that what it will take? I don't know.
3. Towards that hope, I here appeal to you excellent reporters and
thinkers to consider the following perspectives in how we see the
world, its problems and solutions:
You and I and Jason have seen a better time,
looking back, and we ask ourselves, “How did
the civilization arrive at that higher plane of
freedom and prosperity – and why couldn’t we
recover to that point of progress (and even
advance from there) -- if we thought and acted
the same way that previous generation did -- to
get to that “better place”?
4. There is no US dollar, nor does
any other country use anything
as money, anymore either.
•You cannot have loans, payments, nor debt if there is
nothing to loan, pay, or owe. Haven’t you already satisfied
yourself that there is no definition or substance to the money-
units of nations today? If there is no substance, it will not be
possible to measure it, verify its presence or absence in any
location or upon any account in the world. If there is no
measuring it by any kind of measure, what are you counting
when you say there is a quantity? If there is no counting, then
what are all the accountants doing this whole time?
1
5. There is no US dollar, nor does
any other country use anything
as money, anymore either.
•No power in this world can stop a critical-mass of the
population from eventually understanding this. If you would
like a quick tutorial on the nature of the US Dollar (and every
other national currency , go here:
•https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1U63manvOZvOCw
PPb1T34fMd3m7SIGHQoeDkWZt31pr8/edit#slide=id.p4
1
6. “Other” is an illusion
For the seasoned historian, each “nation”, anymore, is just a
different agency of the same global government/bank partnership.
Each “different” national central bank, is just a different division
in a huge international organization.
Each “different” Member Branch of the various “private” bank
companies is a different HR department of those national, central
banks.
2
7. NOTHING IS BEING
“PRINTED”!!!
•Restudy the operations of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing and the Federal Reserve, and stop using
misleading verbs. You deceive when you use the verb:
“print”. Dig deeper and you will find there is no
language that accurately describes modern money or
what is done with it, which is not surprising given that it
does not have any existence. If you do not speak
according to this truth, you will eventually be
embarrassed.
3
9. Would anyone have noticed if the Fed had
“printed” 16 Trillion in 100’s ?
This is
what 15
trillion
looks like
in $100
Bills.
3
10. It is not the Government that is
increasing money units, .
•The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 with amendments
only allows the central banking system to pretend
new dollars upon loaning, and then be annihilated
again as the loans are paid back. Agencies of
government can only rent the imaginary money-
units like everybody else. The Treasury just gets a
preferred interest rate.
4
11. Federal Reserve and Member
Banks loan money out of no
account.
4
Loan amount in………
12. Govt Treasury issuance is the only
supposed “Reform” ever discussed.
•Having Congress/Treasury increasing this same
“fiat” money we are using now would eliminate the
interest we pay the banks (Ala Bill Still, Ellen
Brown, etc.). This would function as an “inflation
tax” and does provide an alternate source of
government income beyond taxes already collected.
5
14. 1) Inflation and resultant price rises would be more
severe, making it harder for businesses to anticipate
the future;
3) Dollar-holders in other countries who would have no
US tax liability would end up paying for many of our
government expenses.
2) Savers would be punished more severely, borrowers
would be rewarded more handsomely;
Same old problems with this as with bank-issued inflation:
5
15. 4) Accountant’s and tax-preparers and
payroll clerks would get less billable
time keeping up with the income and
sales tax accounting, which is also why
there would be massive resistance to
trading out the income and sales taxes
for this new inflation-tax plan;
Expect huge opposition from Accountants:
5
16. 5) If banks would be stopped from
fractional-reserve loaning, they would
lose much of their profitability and
would have to charge a whole lot more
for their services directly to
consumers. They would lose much of
their power over money, government,
and the economy in general.
Expect huge opposition from Bankers & Depositors.
5
17. The Ethical
Problem Remains
It only increases the guilt of the voter and taxpayer
because they are taking a more active part in the theft and
murder when their elected representatives are doing it
directly instead of just letting banks do it. Stop wasting time
with it. If you can’t nominate Ron Paul (2012, FL), you are
never going to elect lawmakers who will vote like this. Get
used to it – they do not work for you, they work for the guys
that control their ability to get money and spend it.
5
18. The Justice
Problem Remains
Federal Government Branches have been under control of
the bankers since (shortly after) the days of President
Andrew Jackson. Congress will never be able to force
bankers to double-restitution for their massive thefts.
President and Supreme Court justices will never be able to
solve this problem. To be called the best, most consistent
politician only means that once bought, they stay bought.
5
19. The Practical
Problem Remains
What kind of dollar would the Treasury use? The Banker’s
dollar does not exist, and hasn’t since 1971. They “create”
existing “dollars”, so they own them, thus they have a right
to control them. If the Treasury is going to “create” dollars
instead, what is it that they are going to create? What
advantage is it to have evil, idolatrous men in government
stealing-through-deceit instead of the bankers?
5
20. •Increased issue of additional money units does reduce the “cost” of what is
paid in taxes but Costs will always increase faster than Wages and Tax
Receipts.
• Military spending, officer/soldier salaries, pensions, and other government
procurements generally increase faster than private price-inflation.
• Price-Inflation puts greater burden on the Population and tends to increase
the demand for welfare/subsidy receipients struggling to keep apace with cost-
of-living increases.
• Inflation normally gooses interest rates, increasing Govt borrowing costs,
which an increase demand for Treasury Bills/Notes as investors value the
higher interest rates, which stimulates the govt instinct to borrow.
Bank-Issue Inflation will not help reduce the National
Debt as if increased tax receipts of less-valuable dollars
can pay down the old dept in more-valuable dollars.
5a
21. Honest money must be used,
not just stored:
•More and more gold and silver ownership, by itself, is not the complete
answer.
•A few “hoarders” are very easily controlled by the Government. They
criminalized money (gold dollars) ownership in 1933 without much of a
fight. Why would it not be easier to scare US Electorate today into
compliance under threat of economic catastrophe unless they move to
complete cashless transactions and blame trade “outside the system” as
“causing” economic disaster?
•Only widespread use of honest measures will overcome the monopoly of
the banks. We will either take away their power to control trade, or
remain under their evil, enslaving, plundering, murdering (warfare State)
domination.
6
22. Honest money must be used,
not just stored:
•The money-side of every trade either borrows money from the banking
system (credit cards) or uses stored/saved balances in an account
(Check/ACH/Debit Card)
•The money of the world, right now is comprised of these borrowed
(You owe bank) or deposited (Bank owes you) “quantities”. All of these
quantities are imaginary > see Slideshow here
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1U63manvOZvOCwPPb1T34fMd
3m7SIGHQoeDkWZt31pr8/edit#slide=id.p4)
•Unless honest measures are used in trade between parties, dishonesty
will still characterize one side of each trade.
6
23. •The modern world relies so completely
on specialization-of-labor we would be
completely helpless without a Medium
of Exchange.
•We will either have honesty in our Medium of
Exchange, or dishonesty – there is no third way.
•Right now, the dishonest way leaves us open for the
banking system to plunder us for whatever wealth
they can extract in order to retain control of
governments.
6
24. Without money for trade: the
trucks stop running.
[From: http://www.therussophile.org/alice-friedemann-when-the-trucks-
stop-running.html/]
•Alice Friedman: Well, within a week, in roughly this
order, grocery stores would be out of dairy and other
items that are delivered many times a day. And by the
week, the shelves would be empty.
•Hospitals, pharmacies, factories, and many other
businesses also get several deliveries a day, and they’d
be running out of stuff the first day.
6
25. Without money for trade: the trucks stop running.
And the second day, there’d be panic and hoarding. And
restaurants, pharmacies would close. ATM’s would be out of
money. Construction would stop. There’d be increasing layoffs.
Increasing, enormous amounts of trash not getting picked up.
685,000 tons a day. Service stations would be closed. Very few
people would be working. And the livestock would start to be
hungry from lack of feed deliveries.
Then within two weeks, clean water supplies would run out. Within
four weeks to eight weeks, there wouldn’t be coal delivered to
power plants and electricity would start shutting down. And when
that happened, about a quarter of our pipelines use electricity, and
so natural gas plants wouldn’t be fed natural gas and they’d start
shutting down.
6
26. There is no hope in the
Constitution either.
•The US Constitution has never been an answer.
•If the 1789 Constitution and Bill of Rights was
good for the nation, and it wasn’t self-contradictory,
we would not be ruined like we are.
7
27. Faux Foundation
“But whether the
Constitution really be
one thing, or another,
this much is certain -
that it has either
authorized such a
government as we have
had, or has been
powerless to prevent it.
In either case it is unfit
to exist.”
― Lysander Spooner,
No Treason: The
Constitution Of No
Authority
Our pretended treaties, then, being made with no
legitimate or bona fide nations, or representatives of
nations, and being made, on our part, by persons who
have no legitimate authority to act for us, have
intrinsically no more validity than a pretended treaty
made by the Man in the Moon with the king of the
Pleiades.
7
28. Constitution supposedly
“religiously neutral”
•All law defines good and evil in crime and
punishment.
•Good and evil are religious values
•Therefore: all law is religious
•Constitution can’t help “establishing” one
dominant religion.
•Constitution must limit tolerance for competing
religions or it has suicided itself.
7
29. Forget Democracy as an
ethical authority
•1 individual = Zero ethical authority to define punishments for
other humans
•Add together a Majority (or even unanimity) of zero-ethical-
authorities is still zero
•Majority authority cannot bootstrap, because it cannot formulate
laws for the first election until after the first election
•If there is an ideal ethical standard for crime/punishment – to
vote differently by subsequent majority will be an evil departure
towards punishing the previously-innocent-, or protecting the
previously-guilty man.
8
30. The Ethical Delusion
It doesn’t go without saying that the goodness of the Majority is
greater than the goodness of a lesser minority. Majority vote is
great for making the maximum number of people happy on what
flavor of pizza to share for the party, but is useless for discerning
Ethical/Moral issues like good and evil.
8
31. Why are religious ethics questions hardly
ever openly faced?
•How do we know what the crimes actually are?
•How do we know what punishment is right for a particular
crime?
•Why is stealing and murder not addressed as crime that must be
punished?
•What will happen to society if crimes are not punished?
•Who is responsible to punish stealers and murderers?
•If anyone is responsible, who are they responsible to?
9
32. However, no solutions are given other than “educating our neighbors”. Hue and Cry is
great, assuming the society retains a sense of responsibility. The Great Wall is that, in
American Polite Society, where Religious Freedom – and even more – individual
freedom is honored as the most “sacred” shared vision, No One wants to address
RELIGIOUS topics.
Seeing the Theft, Slavery, and Murder – is relatively easy. I have watched and listened
to thousands of hours of blogging where they continually explain….
The problem is that you cannot talk about responsibility, consequences, judgment, sin,
crime, good, or evil, or any moral, civil, or legal questions without being on religious
grounds.
“Religion” is our word for the Department that deals with good and evil, right and
wrong.
9
33. Failure to reckon with Semi-
secret, oath-bound societies
•So-called religiously-neutral democracies will
always have a weaker grip on the passions of men
than dictators or power-religions.
•That constellation of semi-secret, oath-bound
societies that cooperate toward a top-down,
centrally-planned, international financial and
political order will always be stronger than any
philosophy of human-equality.
10
34. Failure to reckon with Semi-
secret, oath-bound societies
•Antipathy against the Bible
•Self-conscious worship and service of what the Bible labels
as Lucifer, Satan, demons, and the occult mysteries
•Perverting of the sexual distinction between male and
female, adult and child, man and animal.
•Face the reality that these groups draw on a super-human
power and intelligence We will need better weapons and a
stronger ally to find in this kind of battle
10
35. There is no use hoping for the
American Justice systems to
punish the International Bankers.
11
The Helping Hand
36. Tail wags the dog
•Although the fiction of majority civil authority gave bankers the
“right” to issue new money units, now bankers can control civil
officials via the money-power.
•To obtain the extra borrowed-funding govt needs beyond what
public is willing to pay in tax, they are dependent on credit
controlled by banks.
•History has shown the houses of Congress have protected the
bankers’ interested Andrew Jackson (1836).
•President Trump’s appointment of banking officials to his cabinet
after promises to “drain the swamp” is a case in point.
11
37. Why so few Solutions?
If you are calling out theft, kidnapping,
and murder - it is irresponsible to leave
it there without either recommending
your own solutions, or suggestions from
others.
11
38. No Solution = Discourage
Otherwise you just desensitize people and make
them less able to treat with reality. You are
inadvertently tempting them and hardening them.
Anger
Apathy
Fear
Denial
Envy
Discouragement
11
39. Who is Responsible?
Everyone who trades has the ability to affect this.
Some men would have more influence than others.
The question is, “Besides our own reformation, what
can we do to identify, persuade, and motivate those
Influential, Responsible Men?
11
40. True < > Simple
Reconstruction needs to have an easy-to-
understand principle that will withstand the tests
of logic and historical validity.
And the Bible perfectly offers both the
simple principle plus the adequate detail
to work out the True principle.
12
41. Curiously, the defection from the wisdom and justice that
followed the Protestant Reformation occurred about the same
time the nation went off the rails with money and banking.
Two convictions fell out of favor, and Andrew Jackson’s
warning was forgotten.
Those who have known the Christian Bible have
dropped the ball since the 1830’s.
Here I have to apologize on
behalf of the men of the
churches of Jesus Christ….
12
42. President Andrew Jackson’s
Farewell Address
•I In presenting to you, my fellow-citizens, these parting
counsels, I have brought before you the leading principles
upon which I endeavored to administer the Government in
the high office with which you twice honored me. Knowing
that the path of freedom is continually beset by enemies
who often assume the disguise of friends, I have devoted
the last hours of my public life to warn you of the dangers.
http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=67087
12
43. President Andrew Jackson’s
Warning 1837
•It is from within, among yourselves--from cupidity, from corruption, from
disappointed ambition and inordinate thirst for power--that factions will be
formed and liberty endangered. It is against such designs, whatever disguise
the actors may assume, that you have especially to guard yourselves. You
have the highest of human trusts committed to your care. Providence has
showered on this favored land blessings without number, and has chosen you
as the guardians of freedom, to preserve it for the benefit of the human race.
May He who holds in His hands the destinies of nations make you worthy of the
favors He has bestowed and enable you, with pure hearts and pure hands and
sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of time the great charge He
has committed to your keeping.
http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=67087
12
44. The Coming and Judgment of Jesus that
the New Testament refers to, is still
future instead of already being fulfilled
in the 70 A.D. destruction of the Jewish
temple, city, people, and country.
God’s law in the Bible is no longer valid in the
Christian Era.
What were the two ideas?
12
45. Jesus died on the cross to pay the
penalty for all the sins of any willing to
trust and obey Him as personal savior
and master.
I would think most Americans would recognize this part of the Christian “Gospel”
12
46. The man, Jesus of Nazareth,
combining both Divine-nature (with
God the Father, and God the Holy
Spirit), with genuine human nature;
holds comprehensive title to Earth
and all humans therein by virtue of
Creation and by Grant from His
Father.
By virtue of His perfectly-obedient
life, and willing acceptance of all
possible human torments in
obedience to His Father, and for the
sake of human guilt – has purchased
Men of Every time and place,
overcoming (in a fair fight) the god of
this world (Satan), and plundered his
‘kingdom of darkness”.
Jesus died on the cross to pay the
penalty for all the sins of any willing to
trust and obey Him as personal savior
and master.
The “other half” of the Christian Gospel is seldom emphasized:
12
47. …Ruler of the kings of the earth….Revelation 1:7 “ …..Who washed us of
our sins by His own blood….
Here is an example of how the Bible combines the two ideas in one context:
12
48. …He commanded us to preach to the
people and to testify that he is the one
whom God appointed as judge of the
living and the dead. …
Acts 10:42 To him all the prophets bear
witness that everyone who believes in
him receives forgiveness of sins through
his name.”
Here is another passage which shows the authority of Jesus in
addition to the offer of forgiveness of sin and wrongs.
12
49. Authority doesn’t mean anything
unless Power is behind it.
•The mightiest powers on earth can do nothing worse than take away your
life (comfort, freedom, possession of property).
•If you are impervious from the power of death, you have a certain
advantage over all others who are still able to die.
•Paul, the author of much of the New Testament, told the men of Athens
that The Creator:
12
….will judge the world in righteousness by a
man who He has appointed, having given proof
to all men by raising Him from the dead….
50. Ethical authority to define law,
derives from ownership.
•What you own, you have a right to control.
•If you own the earth, and all the people in it, you get to make the rules.
•If you are the Judge of all men, and have infinite power, or infinite power
behind you – you will be able to dish out the deserts to any who honor or
violate your rules.
12
51. What can the Average Person Do
about all this?
• Align yourself with a Power that is more loving and stronger than the
Powers-That-Shouldn’t-Be, who are currently controlling DC, Military,
Police, Academia, Communications, Transportation, and (of course) the
global financial system.
• pay your tribute to that Power in quantities of measurable substance,
honoring His creation
• Save more wealth in the form of a quantity of measurable substance and
less in what banks “say” they “owe” you.
• Offer or ask for quantities of measurable substance for the money side
of as many of your trades as possible
52. What can the Average Business
Do about all this?
• Seek out trustworthy Third Parties who would be willing to function as a
honest bank or clearing-house to trade quantities of measurable
substance
• Educate and ask Customers who might be willing to trade in quantities of
measurable substance
• Educate and ask Vendors who might be willing to trade in quantities of
measurable substance
• Become one of the honest banker/third-party Trade Facilitators

Editor's Notes
A tribute to those who have expanded my view of history, disabused me of the false witness of mainstream media, and partnered with “clasting” of the “icons”, the tearing down of the false gods of the Age.
Showing what is wrong -- the lies, the theft, and the murders – has a great value, but it is not all that is needed. We need to talk about ethics, responsibility, and both near and long-term consequences.
Add Bill Holter
How does this happen? I don't know. God help me.
Maybe God has answered this question [What will it take?]. Let’s look as His Word – the Bible.
Higher, as measured by freedom, privacy, prosperity, standard of living, etc.
What IS the unit of money the nations are using?
The concept of “Other nations” for the seasoned historian, should not be a temptation. Notice: neither Russia, China, nor the US have ever repented of their past crimes nor their ideology of Group Ownership. The only difference is the public-facing narrative about how the elite rule “in the name of the people”. Since WW II things have deteriorated to where the same banker cabal sits in the driver’s seat of every nation. Rich Western Investors/Bankers developed Russia, China, Africa. All nations are all trapped and addicted by the bribes of cheap debt. What makes you think these countries would ever be willing to sever their own air-hose to the rich Investors/Bankers in the West? Do we have documentation on their repentance from approving of and depending on thieving, criminals that have empowered them, through cheap money, to do their own plunder and murder? Case in point. Do you think gold -- if this is not just a story to manipulate us -- would move so mightily from West to East if the bankers did not want it to? What evidence is there that makes you think the employees and captains of Wells Fargo and Bank of America aren’t just different HR departments of one giant “corporation”? I doubt any nation is much different. Remember John Perkins’ word-picture of the guy that comes in the office of a country’s President with a bullet in one pocket and a million-dollar bribe in the other.

Why do the talking heads use a misleading Verb?
No modern money is printed, There is no paper, no ink, no printing press that constitutes the actual money-unit - OK? The verb for increasing US Dollars in the Word is not “print”. There is no verb that I have, yet, found that is accurate. But I am satisfied that there can be no verb in a language that would truthfully describe how the quantities of something are increased if that “thing” does not exist nor have any definition. Restudy the operations of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Federal Reserve, and stop using misleading verbs. If the Fed had really created-by-printing the 16 trillion that got loaned out without telling anyone – it would have required 35 acres of 100-dollar bills palleted 7 feet high. That would have been a little harder to keep secret in the way that they did. You deceive when you use the verb: “print”. Dig deeper and you will find there is no language that accurately describes modern money or what is done with it, which is not surprising given that it does not have any existence. If you do not speak according to this truth, you will eventually be embarrassed.
No modern money is printed, There is no paper, no ink, no printing press that constitutes the actual money-unit - OK? The verb for increasing US Dollars in the Word is not “print”. There is no verb that I have, yet, found that is accurate.

Who is responsible for increasing “money units”?
It is not the Government that is increasing money units, only bankers can. Ask Abraham Lincoln or John Kennedy, or anyone else who threatened to cheat the bankers out of their fraudulent interest profits. Money units are only increased when a borrower asks a bank to create and rent him those pretend-units. Has anyone ever discovered where the US Treasury has created dollars since Lincoln was assassinated? The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 with amendments only allows the central banking system to pretend new dollars upon loaning, and then be annihilated again as the loans are paid back. Agencies of government can only rent the imaginary money-units like everybody else. The Treasury just gets a preferred rate. At least this is the official, publically-facing report. I would not at all be surprised to learn government officials are cheating in various ways.
What would be different if the Treasury increase money units independent from the banks?
(Ala Bill Still, Ellen Brown, etc.) Having Congress/Treasury increasing this same “fiat” money we are using now would eliminate the interest we pay the banks. This would function as an “inflation tax” and does provide an alternate source of income beyond the other taxes already collected.
The idea is the Treasury would just write checks that the banks would honor even though there was no money in the treasury account. In effect, purchasing power would flow to the Treasury from all dollar-holding bank accounts using US Dollars.
This would “collect taxes” reducing the income & sales taxes required to keep up with what government is spending. This impacts several things: 1) Inflation and resultant price rises would be increased, making it harder for businesses to anticipate the future; 2) Savers would be punished more severely, borrowers would be rewarded more handsomely; 3) Dollar-holders in other countries who would have no US, tax liability would end up paying for our government expenses; 4) Accountant’s and tax-preparers and payroll clerks might waste less time keeping up with the income and sales tax accounting, which is also why there would be massive resistance to exchanging the income and sales taxes for this new inflation-tax plan; 5) If banks would be stopped from fractional-reserve loaning, they would lose much of their profitability and would have to charge a whole lot more for their services directly to consumers. They would lose much of their power over money, government, and the economy in general. Why would they allow this? How would government develop the moral fiber to force the banks to do anything, when they have been under the control of the banks for over a century? At best, all you would do is reassign the stealing-through-deceit from banks to government. Because fiat issue by Congress/Treasury has the same religious offense as fiat issue by bankers – this will never be an answer. Even if it were the answer, the power-flow insures it will never happen. All who support this idea are wasting their time, their money, and their breath.
It only increases the guilt of the voter and taxpayer because they are taking a more active part in the theft and murder when their elected representatives are doing it directly instead of just letting banks do it. Stop wasting time with it. If you can’t even nominate Ron Paul (2012, FL), you are never going to elect lawmakers to vote for anything like this. Get used to it – they do not work for you, they work for the guys that control their ability to get money and spend it.

Federal Government Branches have been under control of the bankers since (shortly after) the days of President Andrew Jackson. If you study Presidential deaths-in-office, there tends to be a pattern. There is evidence that those victims tended to be pursuing a path that would have been very contrary to what the banking cabal would have wished.
Congress will never be able to force bankers to double-restitution for their massive thefts. President and Supreme Court justices will never be able to solve this problem. To be called the best, most consistent politician only means that once bought, they stay bought.
What kind of dollar would the Treasury use? The Banker’s dollar does not exist, and hasn’t since 1971. They “create” existing “dollars”, so they own them, thus they have a right to control them. If the Treasury is going to “create” dollars instead, what is it that they are going to create? What advantage is it to have evil, idolatrous men in government stealing through deceit instead of the bankers?
Increased issue of additional money units does reduce the “cost” of what is paid in taxes but Costs will always increase faster than Wages and Tax Receipts.
Military spending, officer/soldier salaries, pensions, and other government procurements generally increase faster than private price-inflation.
Price-Inflation puts greater burden on the Population and tends to increase the demand for welfare/subsidy receipients struggling to keep apace with cost-of-living increases.
Inflation normally gooses interest rates, increasing Govt borrowing costs, which an increase demand for Treasury Bills/Notes as investors value the higher interest rates, which stimulates the govt instinct to borrow.
Honest money must be used, not just stored: More and more gold and silver ownership, by itself, is not the complete answer. Remember, neither high court nor Congress managed to keep the president from taking money away from the American People in 1933 (and in 1971: the world). The few people who currently old precious metal may not be enough to prevent confiscation or criminalizing trading with it. Remember how more educated, more Christian, more conservative, more Constitutional-minded everyone was in 1933?. You don’t think they could more easily yank the cord again, now? The best chance of taking away their ability to steal our purchasing power beyond our control, is to get a critical mass of enough customers and vendors to have as much gold and silver as they can, along with the infrastructure to do honest trade with those and anything else the marketplace desires to use as money.
Think of how long it is going to take to reconstruct -- in the minds of men and in the mechanics of the Marketplace – the use of honest measures of honest substances again! Imagine how many people will die if we are not well down the road to alternate ways to trade when the Critical Mass realizes there is no US Dollar.
Honest money must be used, not just stored: The money-side of every trade either borrows money from the banking system (credit cards) or uses stored/saved balances in an account (Check/ACH/Debit Card)
The money of the world, right now is comprised of these borrowed (You owe bank) or deposited (Bank owes you) “quantities”. All of these quantities are imaginary (see Slideshow here)
Unless honest measures are used in trade between parties, dishonesty will still characterize one side of each trade.
We will either have honesty in our Medium of Exchange, or dishonesty – there is no third way.
Right now, the dishonest way leaves us open for the banking system to plunder us for whatever wealth they can extract in order to retain control of governments.
Alice Friedman: Well, within a week, in roughly this order, grocery stores would be out of dairy and other items that are delivered many times a day. And by the week, the shelves would be empty.
Hospitals, pharmacies, factories, and many other businesses also get several deliveries a day, and they’d be running out of stuff the first day.
And the second day, there’d be panic and hoarding. And restaurants, pharmacies would close. ATM’s would be out of money. Construction would stop. There’d be increasing layoffs. Increasing, enormous amounts of trash not getting picked up. 685,000 tons a day. Service stations would be closed. Very few people would be working. And the livestock would start to be hungry from lack of feed deliveries.
Then within two weeks, clean water supplies would run out. Within four weeks to eight weeks, there wouldn’t be coal delivered to power plants and electricity would start shutting down. And when that happened, about a quarter of our pipelines use electricity, and so natural gas plants wouldn’t be fed natural gas and they’d start shutting down.

There is no hope in the Constitution either. We can’t return to the level of education and Christian culture we had in 1789 because that generation did not get to that point by trying to follow Constitutional principles or the FreeMasonry doctrines behind it. Apparently no culture since has been able to follow that Constitution either. A close study of the history shows the country going off the rails quite early (think: “internal improvements”), where the General Welfare clause started to be violated. I even think it can be logically proven that there are impossibilities in trying to “uphold” the Constitution. The internal contradiction is that the Constitution defines certain classes of crime and punishment, yet it claims to be religiously neutral in good FreeMasonry style. You can’t make any declaration of good and evil, right and wrong, crime and punishment without it being a moral statement. That field of thought that deals with morality, we call Religion.
The promised blessings of the Constitution in the Preamble, are the kinds of religious blessings that follow from faithfulness to the true religion. “Congress shall make no law….concerning the establishment of religion” – used to mean designating which Christian Denomination / State Church the collected taxes would support. Though it was healthy to get away from that unauthorized use of government force, it will never be possible for Congress to do anything else but “establish religion”, since all formulation of law and enforcement thereof deals with applied religious morality. The FreeMasons snuck through the Constitutional initiative, lied about Masonry not being a religion, and their solemn oath not being an example of the religious oath eliminated by the Constitution.
Forget Democracy, too. It doesn’t exist, it is self-contradictory, and Majority can never function as the ethical authority to define what the crimes are and what their punishments should be. Democracy cannot even establish the authority to draft the laws that would be needed to hold the very first election. It is an obvious that a determined majority, or even minority -- can control how law gets enforced in any generation. This might be Power, but it can never determine authority. Even if it did work, to elect thoroughly good and true men to government in this day and age – if they tried to implement laws that honored the Bible’s initial Creator and final Judge – perfect laws that secured all human rights of innocents (starting with Jesus Christ) – in our context, the Bankers would kill him, he would have an accident (or “suicide”), or the media would crucify him and annul all his good influence. Even if that didn’t happen, the Society would rebel against or ignore him and what he was trying to do. He would not be stealing sufficient wealth from the Neighbors to hand out the customary benefits and you would see the end of his attempt at administration in short order. There are no shortcuts to changing the entire culture. Read your history, and see if any revolution (except the Calvinist, Biblical worldview of honoring the laws of Moses and Jesus as the Christ) ever resulted in less tyranny after the blood soaked into the ground and the wind blew the powder-smoke away. Simply trying to educate more neighbors on how to vote in good ol’ religiously-neutral, Conservative style can never effect the changes needed.
Why are religious ethics questions hardly ever openly faced?
Why is stealing and murder not addressed as crime that must be punished?
What will happen to society if crimes are not punished?
How do we know what the crimes actually are?
How do we know what punishment is right for a particular crime?
Who is responsible to punish stealers and murderers?
If anyone is, who are they responsible to?
Semi-secret, oath-bound societies: Besides, so-called religiously-neutral democracies will always have a weaker grip on the passions of men than dictators or power-religions. That constellation of semi-secret, oath-bound societies that cooperate toward a top-down, centrally-planned, international financial and political order will always be stronger than any single, strictly-human organization.
If you investigate sufficiently deep into the nature and history of these organizations you will face an antipathy against the Bible, and self-conscious worship and service of what the Bible labels as Lucifer, Satan, demons, and the occult mysteries. You will also find a perverting of the distinction between man and animal, male and female. Face the reality that these groups draw on a super-human power and intelligence. We will need better weapons and a stronger ally to find in this kind of battle.

Why so few Solutions? If you are calling out theft, kidnapping, and murder - it is irresponsible to leave it there without either recommending your own solutions, or suggestions from others.
Otherwise you just desensitize people and make them less able to treat with reality. You are inadvertently tempting them and hardening them into more denial and apathy.
Instead, responsibility needs to be assigned to those who can effect real change. Hopefully we can direct our energy to helping them understand the importance and urgency of the Reconstruction.
Reconstruction needs to have a clear and simple principle: And the Bible perfectly offers both the simple principle plus the adequate detail to work out the True principle. I do apologize for the way the Church of Jesus Christ in Western Civilization has dropped the ball on this for the last 175 years. The combined rejection of those sections of the Bible that deal with crime and punishment; and the idea that [the Coming and Judgment of Jesus that the New Testament refers to] is future-to-us, instead of already being fulfilled in the 70 A.D. destruction of the Jewish country, city, and temple – took out ½ of the Christian Gospel. The missing-half now is about Christ’s ownership of all the earth, especially after His Ascension to heaven.
He is now owner with all authority over Family, Church, and civil governments, all humanly-stewarded property and all human labor. He commissioned His followers to instruct the Nations in everything He commanded. This includes His teaching on Economics, crime, and punishments. It also includes everything the Older Testament teaches about these subjects.
