Stupid Is As Stupid Does


‘Greetings, Lord and Master Mason, Grand Architect, Creator of the likes of universes!  We have been expecting you!’

‘Not so’s I had noticed.’

‘ - Sir??’

‘Now let me get this straight.  I bequeathed to you a free country,  - ‘

‘Yes, SIR!  And mighty thankful we are for that, too, Sir!’

‘I get the irony.’

‘ - Sir?’

‘As I was saying: a free country, where The People are not only free to pursue their highest dreams, and benefit personally from the fruit of their labors; but are responsible for the workings of the system of government.’

‘Yes, sir!  And mighty - ‘

‘And you have blown it.’

‘ - Sir??’

‘I understand that you turned over - allowed to be turned over, to a private consortium the printing presses of your currency.’   

‘ - Ah.  The Federal Reserve.’

‘Which is neither federal nor reserved in its actions.’

‘…Sir?’

‘You not only did this - removing yourselves directly from the responsibility of the running of your economy; but you did so without requiring an audit of this so-called Federal Reserve.’

‘ - Ah.  Well.  - ‘

‘Not even an audit conducted by themselves, on themselves.  Legitimately supervised.’  

‘…Well, you see, Sir, - ‘

‘Yes I do ‘see’.  And do you see the stupidity of your actions in this regard, let alone in others that I could mention??’

‘…’

‘’The Fed,’ as you so congenially call it, could have been running the printing presses full bore ’24/7’ and passing the notes on to their favored people for years and years, for all you know.’

‘…’

‘Just being careful not to make it too obvious.  But as well, enjoying the fruits of their labors in ‘making money’ on the booms and busts that they create, with their control of your ‘interest rates’.  The very thing that they were supposed to guard against, in not having the short-term ‘interest’ that Congress might have, in pleasing their constituents.  That being the sales pitch for their privacy.’

‘…’

‘All of which is contrary to your constitutional structure and policy, by the way.  In the workings of your rule of law.  Monetary powers residing in your Congress, and all.’’

‘…’

‘As they do.’

‘…’

‘And for good reason.’

‘…’

‘’The People’ learning to take self-responsibility via self governance in life, and all.’

‘…’

‘Not to turn their free will exercise over to others.’

‘…’

‘And specifically on this business of ‘making money,’ and quite literally, in the referred-to case: I sent you one of my lieutenants some years ago, in your reckoning of time, to alert you to this whole business - and ‘business’, air quotes - of money.  Planting a subtle hint - not to undermine the workings of your free will, in this classroom; just to get you to look at how you had gone astray.  In being seduced to look at ‘money,’ not as a means to an end, which it is in its natural state, as a convenient medium of exchange; but as an end in itself.  As it has become, in its unnatural state.’

‘…’

‘By the addition - a nice word concerning this matter.  Another one being ‘multiplication’.  As in ‘compound’  - of the concept that you call ‘interest’.

‘…’

‘Which is all that that is.’

‘…’

‘ A concept.’

‘ - Yes, I…understand.  What you’ are…’

Do you?’

‘…’

‘Do you, really??’

‘… - ‘

‘Understand, that you already have all the ‘wealth’ that there is?’

‘…’

‘You just need to hit on the ’secret’ to access it.’

‘…Which is…’

‘Ah.  That would be telling.  Not finding.’

‘…’

‘I’ ll see you later.’

‘Wait!  What - Sir?  What are you…’

‘You lot have got yourselves stuck in the cosmic equivalent of kindergarten.  Some of you are ready to be harvested, to proceed to the next level, of your education.  But for the rest of you: I’m afraid that you will just have to experience the consequences of your actions.  Which is, after all, the point of the exercise. ‘

‘The point…’

‘Indeed.’

‘Of the, exercise.’

‘Yes.

‘The exercise, of your wings.  As fledgling gods.  

‘And making a right fool of yourselves in the process, right now.’
