[GJM] The chains of wage slavery

[marguerite hampton]

Norman, 

While I find your intentions here to be good, and I
certainly would not want to try and dissuade the
ARP from action, I must ask why you feel that the
GMS would have any interest in changing.  It 
appears that it is not in the best interests of
the GMS to "enpower every human being on earth". 
In fact, it has been the intent of those who manage
and control this system to disempower as
many people as possible over thousands of years
in order to maintain their control over the masses 
using the GMS as one means of so-doing. 

This system has an underlying structure which was 
codified by the Council of Nicea in the fourth century
when the emperor Constantine first legalized 
Christianity and then turned it into the state religion of 
the Roman Empire.

Buckminster Fuller, whom you refer to frequently, 
writes of this in his book, "Critical Path":  "The 
by-word-of-mouth news swiftly went round
that all humanity could now be accomodated in the next
world and  would be welcomed there if individually
qualifying in this world through devout acts and thoughts.
The officially accredited representatives of God in this
world gained enormous power through their function of
tutoring for and passing on the qualifications of 
individual humans in this world for passage into Heaven--
the alternative being Hell. This power became swiftly
annexed by the Holy Roman emperor-pope and, as we
earlier described, gave rise to the vast European church-
state empire and 1500 years of the Dark Ages" writes
Fuller. 

As we now know, Christianity did not come easily into 
the world -- in fact, over six million women and a number 
of heart-centered men were put to their death either by
burning at the stake or being boiled alive in vats of 
water during the time of the Spanish Inquisition.  

Prior to the formalization of the Roman Catholic Church,
"humans had found that each one had a private "hotline
to God". Fuller notes in Critical Path that what the power
structures (aristocrats and priests) needed was a way to
put in a control switchboard so that individuals would have
to "call up" God only through officialdom's censor-supervised
switchboard" -- a service for which fees could be charged 
that would enrich the aristocrats and the priests.  Thus the 
Church issued an edict that individuals could only access 
God through approved priests designated by the Church.  

The Church fortified its divine mandate by attacking technology
because it could eliminate the stresses of poverty, and "much of
Roman Catholic business and prosperity was founded on the
exploitation of misery".  

There is much more that can be written here; however, I have
neither the time, nor is this the space in which the true story of 
the GMS and its association to the Roman Catholic Church --
"the biggest business in the world" may be told.  What I wanted
to do here was to open the door to "where truth may be found"
for it is the truth that will set us free.  

It was over twenty years ago that I first read Fuller's book.  It 
has taken me this long to begin to unravel the story of how 
humanity has gone astray and veered off its natural path and
into the pathological state of dissociation and addiction which 
we call "normal" today, but which is anything but as we witness
the increasing destruction of our life support system caused
largely by our actions and in the name of God with the
European method of agriculture being one of the main causes. 

Yet, even as I discover what appears to be "truth" I cannot help
but feel that at another level of consciousness, there is a positive
reason for our "aberrancy" which will play itself out in the overall
"big picture".  There is so much that goes beyond our 
understanding.  However, one of the most promising fields 
to open up recently, which is based in science and can be measured 
and validated, is "the biology of human consciousness" as we are 
now able to verify the evolution of the human brain and the "mind-fields"
which emanate from both the human body and the surrounding 
environment to form "the web of life".  

As both the ability of the human mind and science advance to 
allow greater comprehension of who we are within the living 
universe in which only intelligence and consciousness exist, as 
the human family, we are evolving into another level of reality
in consciousness.  As we mature, we will be able to leave 
behind the "mythology of religious belief" much as we leave 
behind the mythology of Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy as 
we grow from childhood to adulthood.  Around the world millions
of people are moving away from "faith-based religion" and are
seeking a "science-based reality" wanting  firm ground upon 
which to stand.  As we do so, we will not be so vulnerable to 
exploitation through religion-based mythology.  However, I 
would like to add that much of the mythology associated with 
religion has some basis in fact.  Our job today is to sort out
what is truth and what is not.  

What I am saying here, Norman, is that until we release ourselves
from "faith-based mythology" structures such as "the Fed" will
not easily disappear as mythology and belief in "king's rights"
is the underlying basis for such structures.  As "we-the-people"
we must evolve to the recognition that equality exists and we are 
all "kings" (gods) in our own right and can access the spirit world
and what many call God directly -- we need no intercession.

Marguerite,
 
You correctly target on money power as the ultimate source of why the
world is not working as it could, if the monetary institutions were
transformed to empower every human being on earth. However, I and others
associated in the American Revolutionary Party do not agree with this
statement of yours:
 
"Today, it appears that our only hope lies in the power of .Mother
Nature in the form of Global Climate change to create enough
worldwide chaos to shatter the control of the global elite who
operate as the Global Monetocracy System."
 
An alternate scenario of hope is based on the "Just Third Way" synthesis
of ideas by such practical visionaries as Buckminster Fuller, Louis O.
Kelso and Social Justice scholar Fr. William Ferree. As Bucky stated in
Utopia or Oblivion:
 
"We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims. . .
[The challenge is] to make the world work for 100% of humanity in
the shortest possible time with spontaneous cooperation and without
ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone."
 
You might want to read my forward to Fr. Ferree's pamphlet "Introduction
to Social Justice" for guidelines on how to mobilize people power plus
servant leadership power plus idea power to meet Bucky's challenge to
those of us who have not lost hope or have given in to the Global
Monetocracy System. Idea power in the hands of true revolutionaries
(i.e., servant leaders) will unleash enough positive people power to
overcome the GMS, especially when those ideas conform to universal
principles of justice. (See

Here's the Declaration on Monetary Justice that our ARP delivered to
Greenspan in April 2005 and to Bernanke in April 2006:
 
 
*The American Revolutionary Party*
 
 
/*DECLARATION OF MONETARY JUSTICE */
 
WHEREAS, the United States economy is today plagued by a growing gap
between the rich and the non-rich; by continuing erosion of income
security and quality of family life; by debilitating waste and
underemployment of human talent; by inadequate growth alongside
shackled technological potential; by growing dependency on foreign
energy supplies; by record-level trade and governmental budget
deficits; and by an estimated $74 trillion Social Security and
Medicare revenue shortfall added to historically high Federal debt
being imposed on young Americans and generations not yet born; and
 
WHEREAS, the sustainable growth and energy self-sufficiency of the
American economy in the Twenty-First Century will require trillions
of dollars each year of new and improved, life-enhancing technology,
rentable space and physical infrastructure; and
 
WHEREAS, the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, as early as 1977,
has declared broad-based ownership of new capital as an effective
strategy for raising national productivity, and President George W.
Bush has reiterated this policy in his call for an "ownership
society", and
 
WHEREAS, the national goal of creating an ownership society has been
seriously frustrated by the systemic concentration of economic power
and exclusionary access to future capital credit to the advantage of
the wealthiest Americans; and
 
WHEREAS, the Federal Reserve System has stifled the growth of
America's productive capacity through its monetary policy, by
monetizing public sector growth and mounting Federal debt; by
favoring Wall Street speculators over Main Street commercial
bankers; by shortchanging the capital credit needs of entrepreneurs,
inventors, farmers and workers; by increasing the dependency of
families by burdening them with usurious consumer credit; and by
perpetuating unjust capital credit and ownership barriers between
rich Americans and those without savings; and
 
WHEREAS, there is a fundamental difference between asset-backed
credit for productive uses and debt-backed credit for non-productive
uses or consumption, the first being critical for stimulating
private sector investment, savings and the supply of new marketable
wealth, and the second being used to give people more inflated
dollars to chase the same supply of existing wealth; and
 
WHEREAS, the Federal Reserve Board is now empowered under Section 13
of the Federal Reserve Act to reform monetary policy to discourage
non-productive and speculative uses of credit, to encourage
accelerated rates of private sector growth, and to promote
widespread individual access to productive credit as a fundamental
right of citizenship;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Congress amend the Federal
Reserve Act to require the Federal Reserve Board to stop monetizing
government debt through its buying and selling of U.S. Treasury
securities, and to begin re-activating its discount mechanism to
encourage private sector growth linked to expanded ownership
opportunities for all Americans.
 
TO THIS END, we hereby petition the Federal Reserve Board to adopt a
two-tiered money-creation and credit policy that sharply
distinguishes between ownership-expanding productive capital credit,
and ownership-concentrating and non-productive uses of credit. The
upper tier, reflecting the higher market costs of borrowing money
from existing domestic and foreign savings pools and existing
assets, should continue to be maintained as a source of market-rate
credit to public-sector borrowers, consumers, speculators, and for
all other non-productive purposes. The Federal Reserve discount rate
for the lower tier should be reduced to no higher than 0.5 percent,
to cover the Fed's cost of administering the linkage between growth
in the overall money supply with ownership-broadening,
non-inflationary productive growth in the U.S. economy.
 
This new reservoir of Federal Reserve monetized credit should be
reserved exclusively for commercial bank members of the Federal
Reserve System to the extent they in turn make available in equal
periodic allotments to every citizen through "Capital Homestead
Accounts" (Special IRAs) direct access to capital credit at
reasonable service charges and risk premiums, with prime rates set
by market forces above the 0.5% cost of money to the member banks.
Such expanded bank credit should not be subsidized by the taxpayers
and should be backed and collateralized by widely-owned private
sector assets and insured against the risk of default by commercial
capital credit insurers and reinsurers.
 
Such ownership-broadening capital credit borrowed through local
banks at the lower tier rates could be invested in "qualified"
securities such as newly issued full-dividend payout, full voting
shares in a company for which a member of the citizen’s household
works; companies in which the citizen’s household has a monthly
billing account; for-profit Community Investment Corporations
organized for large-scale local land and infrastructural
development; Employee Stock Ownership Plans; production and
marketing cooperatives and partnerships; family-owned and -operated
businesses and farms; and mature companies with a history of solid
earnings; and
 
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this Declaration of Monetary
Justice be sent to the President and to each member of Congress and
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
 
/Adopted on April 15, 2005 at the founding ceremony at the Federal
Reserve Building in Washington, D.C. by the Founders of The American
Revolutionary Party and ratified by other signatories to this
Declaration./
 
If you like our plan for redesigning the American money system to
prevent the disorder you envision, then copy my email note to you to all
those in your network and invite them to join us next April at the Fed.
 
Own or Be Owned,
Norm Kurland
