from paulstramer.net: ‘Why Neither Gold Nor Silver Hold Any Answers’ - Anna Von Reitz - January 1
Excellent thinking on Anna’s part. She’s onto it.
Some of you will know of Anna: She’s the lady behind so much of the discussion of the false/corporate Republic that the U.S. has been laboring under since the late 1800s, and how to go about releasing its hold on us. Another excellent subject. This one for now.
Excerpt:
“For the last several months people have been wanting to argue over the pros and cons of silver versus gold standards to base monetary values on and so far as that goes, silver is the obvious choice. It's our traditional form of money and it is the least subject to manipulation. I have said that from Day One when the whole issue of precious metals-backed forms of money came up, and I still say so.
“However, as I attempted to make clear in my discussion about The Goat Standard, nearly anything that has actual value can serve as a standard for exchange: a sin, a female goat, and $200 have the same value in the current system of things, and it doesn't much matter how you cut it.
“The ridiculousness of the whole concept should be apparent given that example, but judging from some of the responses I've gotten, there are still those who just don't get the joke.
“They know that the present monetary system is bogus and can cite chapter and verse for why it is bogus. The "secret" of the Federal Reserve is now well-known: check kiting is what the rest of us call it. And insurance is revealed to be nothing but legalized gambling. In fact, the entirety of the banking industry is now known to be a criminal enterprise aimed at theft of various kinds, fraud of various kinds, and enslavement of various kinds.
“So--- now you think that "going back to the gold and/or silver standard" is the answer?
“Think again.
“First, there is vastly more gold already mined than the rats are admitting. Tons of it. Miles of tunnels filled with it. Huge, vast, mindless quantities of gold. You haven't seen it, but I have.
“Second, there are now means to extract endless additional quantities of gold from common materials. Gold can be extracted from sand, from crushed glass, from sea water--- you name it, and gold can be extracted from it. There is an endless supply of gold available now, just as there is an endless supply of paper money. And again, you haven't seen that, but I have.
“The rats in charge are all ready to spring this new twist on gold and have you buying in at over a thousand dollars per ounce. They will try to make you believe that gold is very scarce and valuable. They won't tell you how much of it they already have stored up. They won't reveal how easily they can extract more on demand. This is all designed to make you think that gold has value because it is supposedly rare and in finite supply, when its not.
“It's just a slightly different version of the same old schtick. And, the same kinds of processes can be applied to producing silver. So there is no long term cure to be had from precious metals. Or from paper. Or from goats.
“The take home point is that we need to totally rethink the concept of money and the way we symbolize value and what we value…”
Well spotted, Anna. I have been saying for years that we don't need money - and thus, trying to get people to think about the subject.
The matter is all in our minds. Today, banks 'manufacture' money out of thin air - loan out $10 and poof! - $100 of 'credit' is entered in their ledger. Our U.S. money/currency has not been backed by anything but 'good will' - a U.S. Federal Reserve note simply redeemable in itself - for years, and still we use it as a medium of exchange for goods and services rendered and received. What's the secret?
The only thing needed is a motive to exchange said g and s. Now we use the motive - an 'entity' in our minds - of something we call 'making a profit'. Hey - how about we use another motive (as you suggest). How about we use the highest motive that there could ever be: that we share our g & s with one another - and give of our best in the process - out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. Out of, in a word: Love. The Love of the creature for its Creator, and vice versa. And then, all you need is a system of keeping track of credits and debits - like a LETS system, writ large. You contract with someone to provide you with a g or s at such-and-such a number of units, and their account is credited with that agreed-upon amount, and your account is debited with it; and The System is transparent, or monitored by an Umpire, with a monthly statement (electronic or printed), and agreed-upon limit to one's debit account. So that 'the sky's the limit' only in the sense that we are limited by our time and space, to produce a world of Good.
People are afraid of 'getting the mark of the beast' if we go that route (to our destination). But there's nothing wrong with the idea in principle. Call it the mark of the Creator. See: It's all in our minds. And 'money' - the agreed-upon unit of exchange; call it whatever we decide upon - becomes simply the means to the end. Not the end in itself. Not - as you say - an idol. And that's the secret.
"And that is what we sorely need on this planet--- motivation to do what is right and good." Indeed, Anna. Indeed. And circumstances are forcing us to make that decision, for our future. But then, that's what The Process has been all about: to learn that lesson. For us apprentice gods.
Gods in the making. Chips off the old block, as it were. Waking up, to our full potential.
For good. Or evil.
Our choice.
