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).

Subject: [LJPR] THE SECRET COVENANT (Another
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.
~~~~~ End, beginning of the excerpt ~~~~~~
Read the whole article at:
http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=48
and other places.
~~~~~~~~~~ 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
subsidiarity 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.

Subject: a question from Curtiss
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.

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
