[GJM] #39, The Principle Of Subsidiarity Secures The Secret Covenant

[wesburt at juno.com]

Dear Defenders Of Liberty And Economic 
Justice For All,

I argued in a previous note, #37, that 
all people were created equal.  But as 
time passed, a Few were chosen to enjoy 
the optimum policy (TOP) while the Many 
were depressed below their natural IQ 
by thirty centuries of the wrong policy 
(TWP) and subsidiarity.  

Please find below three brief excerpts 
on this policy of exclusion.  In the 
first excerpt, an unknown author 
provides "Another reminder of what we 
are ALL up against" and some insight 
into why the human condition of the 
Many has remained unchanged for thirty 
centuries.  In the second excerpt, a 
prominent Conservative author refreshes 
our memory on the Christian principle 
of subsidiarity which provides, we are 
told, an alternative to imperial 
management or imperial government.  In 
the third excerpt, subsidiarity is 
defined officially by the National 
Conference of Catholic Bishops, USA, 
in their 1986 book, "Economic Justice 
for All."  Now it seems that our very 
survival may depend on whether "a small 
group of dedicated people," a jury 
perhaps, can achieve a unanimous verdict 
on the better of two financial policies:  
the wrong policy (TWP) which has enforced 
the secret covenant for the last thirty 
centuries, or, the optimum policy (TOP) 
which makes decentralized management 
profitable and brings decentralized 
government within our reach.

Following each of the three excerpts, 
I'll add a few words about the attached 
one page graphical illustration of the 
two financial policies (TOP) and (TWP) 
which have separated the "Haves" from 
the "Have Nots" in every national 
economy since the "Folly Of Rehoboam," 
(I Kings 12, B.C. 975).

reminder of what we are ALL up against)

 
THE SECRET COVENANT

An illusion it will be, so large, so 
vast it will escape their perception. 

Those who will see it will be thought 
of as insane.

We will create separate fronts to 
prevent them from seeing the connection 
between us. 

We will behave as if we are not 
connected to keep the illusion alive.

Our goal will be accomplished one drop 
at a time so as to never bring suspicion 
upon ourselves. This will also prevent 
them from seeing the changes as they 
occur.

We will always stand above the relative 
field of their experience for we know 
the secrets of the absolute. 

We will work together always and will 
remain bound by blood and secrecy. 

Death will come to he who speaks.

~~~~~~~~~~ Begin, ending of the excerpt ~~~~~~~~~

Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, 
the beliefs we have established from time 
immemorial.

But if they ever find out they are our 
equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY 
MUST NEVER KNOW.

If they ever find out that together 
they can vanquish us, they will take 
action.

They must never, ever find out what 
we have done, for if they do, we shall 
have no place to run, for it will be 
easy to see who we are once the veil 
has fallen.  Our actions will have 
revealed who we are and they will hunt 
us down and no person shall give us 
shelter.

This is the secret covenant by which 
we shall live the rest of our present 
and future lives, for this reality 
will transcend many generations and 
life spans.

This covenant is sealed by blood, our 
blood. We, the ones who from heaven 
to earth came.

This covenant must NEVER, EVER be 
known to exist. It must NEVER, EVER 
be written or spoken of for if it is, 
the consciousness it will spawn will 
release the fury of the PRIME CREATOR 
upon us and we shall be cast to the 
depths from whence we came and remain 
there until the end time of infinity 
itself.

~~~~~~~~~ End The Secret Covenant ~~~~~~~~~

Attached Figure 17i.gif was composed 
recently to consolidate the conceptual 
frame work of thirteen year old Figures 
4, 7, and 8 into a one page presentation 
of the optimum policy (TOP) and the 
wrong policy (TWP).  The speculative 
transactions of every economy, which 
were prominently displayed in Figure 4, 
are not needed in Figure 17i.gif because 
TOP or TWP are, respectively, a virtue 
or defect of the real productive economy, 
and are quite independent of the 
speculative transactions and the many 
bubbles blown by the speculators.

Subject: #21 Paul Weyrich On The Inner 
Structure Of The Optimum Policy (TOP)

Paul Weyrich writes, in part:

"The principle of subsidiarity requires that when 
you minister to someone in need you [[begin 
with the unit closest to home]]. Only if you 
cannot satisfy the need at that level do you 
move beyond to mediating structures. If those 
structures fail you would move to government, 
[[but you would begin at the local level]]. And 
again, if local government can't satisfy needs, 
only then would it be permissible to turn to the 
next level of government and so on. The bias 
in this principle is in favor of [[the family as the 
basic unit of society]]. Beyond the family, private 
institutions have the next bias, if you will, and 
government is only favored when private 
institutions fail completely, and then the [[bias 
is in favor of government which is closest to 
the people]]."

~~~~~~~  End Paul Weyrich on Subsidiarity ~~~~~~~~

You may recall that Figure 7 (in Fig7-9) 
was a chart of the three stage life cycle 
of a productive asset, capital or human.  
Figure 17i consists of two such charts. 
The lower chart shows the life cycle of 
a single capital asset, product line, 
or business, and rests on the earth 
(GAIA) which supplies the raw material 
for all of our production processes.  
The upper chart shows the life cycle 
of a single person which, like the life 
cycle of a capital asset; consists of 
a development stage, a productive stage, 
and a retirement stage.  The Christian 
principle of subsidiarity works perfectly 
when applied to the production stage of 
either the public or the private sector 
of every economy, as the decision process 
is deligated to, and encouraged at, the 
lower levels of an organization.  The 
wrong policy (TWP) consists of applying 
the principle of subsidiarity to the 
development stage of the life cycle in 
either the public or the private sector 

of an economy.  More on subsidarity and 
TWP below.

The policy applied to the retirement 
stage of the life cycle matters only 
to vote seeking politicians.  Capital 
assets never retire, they are scrapped.  
Human assets extend their productive 
stage as long as possible because they 
fear retirement.  They can retire only 
if social security payments are 
available and collected by the S.S. 
Payroll Tax at 12.4% on all earned 
income under $90,000/year, and, zero% 
on all income above $90,000/year, 
earned or unearned.  Only a few chosen 
people can save enough money during 
their productive stage to support 
themselves during their retirement 
stage.  

The goods and services which people 
consume during their development and 
retirement stages must first be 
produced by people in the productive 
stage of their life cycle.  Then the 
productive people must agree to share 
some part of their produced wealth 
with people now in development or in 
retirement.  That is to say, that 
the productive people must accept at 
least a flat tax structure on all 
earned income to assure that tax 
evaders pay their share of the 
development expense.

Society may be either mean or generous 
in providing subsistence for retired 
folks without adversely affecting the 
future welfare of the whole society.  
Not so, with regard to providing 
subsistence to those potentially 
productive assets still in the 
development stage of their life cycle. 
Here we come face to face with the 
double standard of; TOP for developing 
our capital assets and the children of 
wealthy families, and, TWP and 
subsidirity for developing the children 
of the middle and poor classes of society.


----- Third Forwarded message ------

On Page 51 of "Economic Justice For All," 
1986, National Conference of Catholic Bishops, 
USA, it is written:

"The need for vital contributions from 
different human associations --- ranging 
in size from the family to government --- 
has been classically expressed in Catholic 
social teaching in the "principle of 
subsidiarity":

Just as it is gravely wrong to take from 
individuals what they can accomplish by 
their own initiative and industry and give 
it to the community, so also it is an 
injustice and at the same time a grave evil 
and disturbance of right order to assign to 
a greater and higher association what lesser 
and subordinate organazations can do.  For 
every social activity ought of its very 
nature to furnish help (subsidium) to the 
members of the social body, and never destroy 
and absorb them."

~~~~ End Catholic Bishops on Subsidiarity ~~~~

Before turning to the keynote of Figure 17i, 
please join me in counting the number of 
dimensions illustrated. Hopefully there are 
enough to tempt both Mary Rose on list 
cyber-soc and Marguerite Hampton on list 
FixGov to venture a comment on figure 17i.  
The three dimensions, or mechanical drawing, 
show the top, front, and side view of the 
macro model (3).  By unrolling the horizontal 
cylindrical body of this machine for digging 
the earth, a bottom and rear view of the 
model are illustrated (2).  The individual 
life cycle adds a time dimension to both 
the household and the product line charts (2). 
The 0 to 100% scale enclosing the 120 Million 
US work force currently in production on the 
household chart and a corresponding number of 
business enterprises on the product line chart 
add two more dimensions (2).  And last, but 
not least using 2003 data; the $10,000 
Billion/year US GDP, the M1c-A of $385 Billion, 
and the implied turnover rate of 26 times per 
year defines a "velocity of money" dimension 
which is a corner stone of sound economic 
analysis (2), one for the A flow = GDP and 
one for the B flow at 150% of GDP according 
to Wassily Leontief in his Input/Output 
Economics, 1966.  

I count eleven dimensions above.  Plus earned 
income and human investment on the household 
chart, sales income and capital investment 
on the product line chart (4 more), for a 
total of fifteen dimensions.  If we had 
included speculative transactions in Figure 
17i, there would be one additional dimension 
for each debt instrument in the market, so 
the real economy is relatively quite simple 
compared to the speculative economy.  So much 
for multi dimensional holistic flat world 
left brain thinking.

As the subject line of #39 implies, the 
principle of subsidiarity is a corner 
stone of the secret covenant (first excerpt 
above).   This wrong policy (TWP) or 
"Dominator Paradigm," as Bill Ellis calls it, 
originated as the Devine Right of Kings to 
exploit their subjects (I Kings 12, B.C.975).  
It continues today as illustrated by the 
Households Chart at 270 degrees on Figure 
17i.gif, where "lawmakers withhold the 
natural inheritance of children," as I 
wrote in my April 22, 2007 reply to a 
question from my Hebrew brother, Charles, 
<acob at bellsouth.net>.  I firmly believe 
THAT a great majority of my copy list 
would agree that the natural inheritance 
of children is an inheritance which would 
bring each child into the productive stage 
of his/her life cycle, fully developed, 
and without debt, just like children of 
wealthy parents every where.  

That leaves us with the question: What 
investment is necessary to fully develop 
our children, and thereby assure our 
national future? At 2003 prices in the US 
economy, The out of pocket items in the 
investment would be:

1, Subsistence (all H. S. Grads), (17/80)X 
(285 million) X ($5,000/yr/head) = $302.8 
billion/yr or 3.3% of GDP.

2, Universal public education, (12/80) X 
(285 million) X ($6,500/yr/head) = $277.9 
billion/yr or2.8% ofGDP.

3, Four years of college (4/80) X (285 
million) X $15,000/yr/head) = $213.8 
billion/yr or 2.1% of GDP.

4, Medical insurance (21/80) X (285 
million) X ($1182/yr/head) = $88.4 
billion/year or 0.9% ofGDP.

Total investment for full human 
development = 7% of GDP. 

Notice that the US capitalized the 
2.7% of GDP for universal public 
education early in the nineteenth 
century.  The remaining investment 
(4.3% of GDP) is proudly made by 
parenting families when their income 
is low at the beginning of the 
productive stage of their life cycle.  
None complain and the few who fail are 
elegible for public assistence, in 
perfect accord with the second and 
third excerpt above on the 2982 year 
old principle of subsidiarity.

In other words, if the basic unit of 
society, the family, can make the 
investment, then there is no need for 
public support according to subsidiarity 
and the secret covenant.  How many members 
of Congress would step up to the podium 
and say that this is the optimum policy 
(TOP) for human development?  Not one!  
They all know, as all of the clerisy know, 
that is the wrong policy (TWP) and it may 
continue forever under the secret covenant 
while good men remain silent.

Dear Wes,
 
1.  as we know, you have a distinctive 
way of seeing the world, which I have 
judged very useful
 
2.  as we know, various people, including 
me, have great difficulty in "connecting 
the dots"
 
3.  As you know, one of the purposes of 
CITS is to promote valuable knowledge
 
4.  To promote your perspective, I have 
put your various charts on the net
 
5.  I have five+ years of your e-mails, 
and, sometimes I post explanatory text 
at the web site
 
6.  However, what exists there is not 
sufficiently approachable by other minds
 
7.  I have suggested that you write a 
condensation piece where you reference 
your figures and draw the ideas together
 
        I don't hear back from you
 
I propose that, if your finances permit, 
that we hire a ghost writer to write 
this condensation.
 
I would hope to find this ghost writer 
at MIT, or another local university, 
maybe Babson.  Perhaps this could be 
a Masters level project for a student.
 
My sense is that for $5,000 this may 
be possible.  It is more likely at 
$10,000.
 
I would donate my time in finding 
this person.
 
Let me know.
 
Regards,
 
Curtiss

Dear Curtiss,

I sincerely thank you for your interest in and your support of my thirty
eight year inquiry into economic principles as previewed on Figure
10c.gif.  But you are absolutely right, five years is too long to wait
for results without making some changes in the presentation.  I have
received only one message which referenced the figures on your web site
since 2002.

On 4 Feb 2007 Dick Eastman wrote in part:

I replied to Mr. Eastman that I had averaged about one message/week since
2005 and added his address to my blind list.  I have not heard from MR.
Eastman since, but I enjoy his postings on Social Credit, which was
betrayed in Canada and never allowed in the USA.
 As you know, Curtiss, three hundred years ago you would have been called
a heretic and burned at the stake for publishing my figures. In ourmodern
age the punishment for attempting to restore the law, as promised in
Matthew, Chapter Five, particularly verse 17-19, is no longer crucifixion
or burning at the stake.  In an industrial nation of propertyless
employees, it is sufficient to terminate their employment when a member
of the clerisy departs from the covenant.  Our 109 year old policy, of
never less than 4% unemployment, keeps that threat always in the public's
face.
Thanks again, Curtiss, for risking more than I would have asked you to
risk.  You are still a young man and would be well advised to remove
those figures and explanatory text from your web site, before the clerisy
concludes that you are betraying your class.  
As for a $5,000 or $10,000 ghost writer, the whole content of this
subject had been reduced to practice by General Motors, the Electric
Utility Industry, and General Electric long before I was introduced to it
on my first job, 1947- 1955.  Even GE's patents on it have run out by
now.  There are about forty potential ghost writers on my blind list just
waiting for assurance they will be paid as well for writing about TOP and
TWP as for writing about politically correct things.  I have no
credentials what so ever for that kind of work, and besides, I retired in
1985.
Sincerely,
Wes Burt
