Concerning the crisis, we need to promote free money

27 10 2009

By Economicsfairy

Yes, there’ll be more on possible remedies concerning our rotten monetary system soon (sorry, quite busy, as usual, and I’m still working to figure out all this myself); anyway, as I pointed out in an entry earlier this year, the underlying trouble is charging interest.

A guy called Sivio Gesell has described these problems about a 100 years ago and apparently, found a solution which is called “free money”. You might want to do some research on that for yourself, here is a very quick overview:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freigeld

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freiwirtschaft

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_Gesell

(They’re all in English, so don’t worry)

It seems to me that this is the way we should go, apart from the free trade suggestions (and in some areas of Germany, local currencies are quite popular already), but it’ll still be a long way of informing, lobbying and so on.

This is what they’ve done in London quite recently to set up the “Brixton Pound” as a local currency:

…. as I just did:

If you want to know what’s really going on these days (particularly behind the scenes), it’s always quite a good idea to watch the stuff below (many of you might know it already, and it was posted here several times, but nevertheless):

Enjoy and think!





Please don’t have the “swine flu” vaccination

27 10 2009

By Economicsfairy

I know that this topic is not directly related to our usual discussion of economics and spirituality here, but I feel that it is very important to warn as many people as possible about the current “swine flu” vaccination scam.

So please take some time and get yourself and others informed, this is what I sent to many friends already, it is quite urgent:

Dear all,

hope this finds you well and still in good health! :-)

PLEASE have a look at the website here, your health, even your life might be at stake at some point, unfortunately, one can’t be sure anymore these days:

www.theflucase.com
(with translations into many languages)

Some people have already DIED after the vaccination, for example in Sweden:
http://www.theflucase.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1350%3Afourth-vaccine-death-reported-in-sweden&catid=41%3Ahighlighted-news&Itemid=105&lang=en
Also, serious side effects have already been reported, and many people are concerned about possible long-term effects.

And: This puppet on a string president BO declares a “national emergency” (must be very concerned indeed to get the bloody vaccine into his people), but:

“Obama’s daughters are not to get “swine flu” jabs because of risk”
http://www.theflucase.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1373%3Aobamas-daughters-are-not-to-get-qswine-fluq-jabs-because-of-risk&catid=1%3Alatest-news&Itemid=64&lang=en

(original source: Fox)

Hm. How nice to not care about his daughters and selflessly leave enough vaccine for the sick and elderly in his country or whoever might be a “risk group”. Can’t be so dangerous then, this ominous “swine flu” …

But why declare a “national emergency” in the first place? Apparently, there is no great cause for concern or some great panic, neither in the US nor anywhere else – it seems all a bit cooked up to me.

“Obama declares H1N1 Flu ‘National Emergency’”
http://www.infowars.com/obama-declares-h1n1-flu-national-emergency/

“President Obama declares national emergency over swine flu pandemic, but why?”
http://www.infowars.com/president-obama-declares-national-emergency-over-swine-flu-pandemic-but-why/

“Obama’s H1N1 Emergency Declaration, Is Martial Law Unfolding?”
http://www.infowars.com/obamas-h1n1-emergency-declaration-is-martial-law-unfolding/
(This is what I suspected in earlier emails, you might remember, although last year I would never have thought of something like “swine flu”, rather of the “financial crisis” as a pretext, but it was clear that they planned some event in order to declare a “national emergency” with the door then open to the implementation of martial law and the like.

Remember? Joe Biden had talked quite mysteriously about something that was bound to happen within the first six months of Obamas presidency that would force him to take harsh measures or so (yes, these people know history in advance because they plan quite a lot of it ;-) … hm …

When this ridiculous “swine flu” started in April, I became a bit suspicious, but first couldn’t fully believe it. Could this be “the event” that would later trigger a “national emergency” and worse? Sadly enough, it looks like it now.

And also, we can now much better understand what these abominable FEMA camps might be about:
http://www.infowars.com/obamas-h1n1-national-emergency-declaration-could-invoke-fema-response-to-pandemic/

I think the “swine flu” is certainly about big money for the pharma industry, they are all linked to the WHO, the US government, the corporate media and the like; and conveniently enough, the WHO already raised the level of influenza pandemic alert to 6 for no particular reason (all this enough to be very concerned), BUT: it might be even worse …

The US is now on the brink of possibly losing civil liberties and becoming a kind of dictatorship, where then, of course, mass vaccinations could be enforced and many other really bad things made possible. Some people also talk of bioterrorism – with our governments (actually, the people behind them) being the terrorists. Who knows. Just be smart and suspicious and alert these days, please!

Overall, www.theflucase.com provides quite a good compilation of highly interesting facts from all over the world with regards to the “swine flu” – that was probably engineered, including the media hype, and that still seems to be pretty harmless, compared with for example, about 15000 deaths produced by the “normal” seasonal flu per year, in Germany alone (nobody cares).

Similar figures can be found in other industrial countries (in proportion to the population size, of course). These numbers haven’t been reached so far, not even on a worldwide scale, as far as I know. At any rate, the vaccination could cause much more harm than the actual “swine flu” that apparently many people contracted already without even noticing since it is so harmless.

Honestly, don’t fall for the daily rubbish churned out by the mass and mainstream media (although some do report in a bit more balanced way now, I’ve noticed), this whole “swine flu” bullshit scam stinks. I’m not entirely sure, of course, but would strongly urge people NOT to have this shot. The vaccination for sure can’t have been properly tested in such a short time:

“Swine flu vaccinations rushed through safety checks”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/health/article6694046.ece#
(actually, there were FAR MORE comments in summer, all anti-vaccination, and most of them DELETED by now. I couldn’t get an anti-comment through, and similar censorship concerning all sorts of topics can be experienced in the German media forums as well. So much about freedom of speech, opinion and the like.)

BTW, critical doctors are sometimes dismissed, for example, when they state that this virus MUST be something artificial, probably created in a laboratory, see the case of this Swedish lady:

“Fired Swedish doctor suspects the WHO”
http://www.theflucase.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1352%3Afired-swedish-doctor-suspects-the-who&catid=41%3Ahighlighted-news&Itemid=105&lang=en

See also:
“Sceptical Swedish doctors forbidden to talk about the mass vaccinations”
http://www.theflucase.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1347%3Asceptical-swedish-doctors-forbidden-to-talk-about-the-mass-vaccinations&catid=1%3Alatest-news&Itemid=64&lang=en

Actually, the woman who has set up the above-mentioned site (Jane Burgermeister), an Austrian-Irish investigative journalist who studied in Edinburgh and now lives in Vienna, has been fired as well, after having filed criminal charges against Baxter and others … But read for yourself.

(And there might be a new rule of thumb in these strange times of ours: If someone looses his/her job under such circumstances or if something doesn’t appear in the mainstream media or only for a short time, they’ve quite probably hit the truth or came pretty close.)

Anyway, no more doom and gloom, we have to know all this, but we should not despair – and I am SOOO happy to have found out that the number of people who don’t let themselves be fooled by this outrageous hype and others is on the rise!

People around the globe start to wake up (not only considering the “swine flu”, but also generally to what is going on more and more openly). In Germany, for example, about 90% of the people do not want this vaccination – brilliant, guys, I’m very proud of you!!! But also everywhere else, most people seem NOT to want the vaccine, many medical professionals are concerned and refuse to give this shot to anyone, see the list of articles on the flucase-website.

Many people have also started to take action: protests, internet, petitions, legal action and the like. So don’t say we can’t do anything, and if it’s only passing on the important information to your family, friends, colleagues and other people who are dear to you. And, resisting the pressure to have the shot, of course.

Obviously, everyone needs to make a decision for him/herself, but we need to get a grip on the situation and at least acquaint ourselves with the facts that are often omitted by corporate media – scary and horrible and weird as they may seem.

But then again, government atrocities against their own people or other people, for that matter (or allowing this) have always happened throughout history. And in recessions, governments often become repressive. Also, we know them to have lied to us so often (see Iraq and the laughable “WMD”), and apparently, they don’t seem to be bothered that much by the dying that’s going on there and elsewhere.

For the people living in Scotland: Some brilliant Scots have set this up, I’m about to get in touch with them:
http://swinefluscam.weebly.com/1/post/2009/10/swine-flu-manditory-vaccinations-protest-edinburgh-12th-december.html
(a protest in Edinburgh against possible mandatory vaccinations in December, down the Royal Mile)
You might want to take part.

And even if they want to force us, we can still do something, you can refer to the Nuremberg Code, go to court etc. They just can’t detain large numbers of people or send the police to every resisting person, even if they wanted to. So it’s up to us, we need to link all over. They might use more subtle pressure though (threat of job loss, as already happens in the US in some cases I’ve heard of), but still:

There is so much out there, folks, protests everywhere, more and more people who start to see through the lies we’re told on a daily basis (BTW, a good start to actually “do” something, is of course, just reducing the consumption of mainstream media, certainly TV), check out the stuff on the net and team up with people in your area.

Together, we’ll fight the liars and bastards in companies and governments and this New World Order-clique all over (the scary “world government” is already mentioned in UK media, do some research on that and read “1984″, you might be in for a slight shock, but then you’ll know what I mean). The next years won’t be easy, not at all, but we’ll make it, I’m sure. Just be prepared and prepare others.

Anyway, thanks for your attention, protect yourself, your family and friends and please get other people informed!

Good luck and keep going

PS There’s much talk about this “consciousness shift” that is about to happen within the next years (or has started already), I don’t know if it’s true, but anyway, it seems to me that more and more people wake up and see the lies all around, and this will certainly be of help! :-)





Eltsin, Russia, Stiglitz

18 06 2009

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/apr/09/russia.artsandhumanities

A very sane (albeit old, 2003) view of Russian economy before and afte 1998 by Stiglitz. He critisises Eltsin, the favourite of Western mainstream media who created a cheesy and melodramatic image of him, whereas he was just a puppet of IMF and WB in what Stiglitz calls ‘The Ruin of Russia’.

And this, hahaha, is a critique of Stiglitz ‘Discontent’. The most deplorable and pathetic letter  that I’ve ever read.

Knowledge is power

24 04 2009

Since it’s so much fun quoting people who were famous and are dead now, here is another great one:

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”

(Henry Ford)





Here we go again …

“Everything is lost for a country when the jobs of a banker and an economist become highly respected professions.”

(Montesquieu, French philosopher, 1689-1755)





“Obama is just a facelift for the Neocons”

1 04 2009

By Economicsfairy

I’m afraid I can’t spare you this, it’s a MUST WATCH, only 20 min altogether and answers a lot of questions:

THE MEN BEHIND OBAMA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MouUJNG8f2k&feature=related (part 1)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-KJCMWcoms&feature=related (part 2)

The historian Webster Tarpley about what’s going on behind the scenes while Obama is showing us his big wide friendly smile.

I quote:
“The people in Europe had better wake up: The silly romantic illusion they have about Obama is gonna be suicidal for them.”

And I’m afraid it doesn’t seem to be conspiracy rubbish, it seems to be true.

So watch out and get yourself informed about the great project that is supposed to guarantee a continuing US-British hegemony and that the nice Obama is supposed to sell to us.

Don’t let yourself be fooled by a pop president who was “made” like pop bands are made these days and who is just a puppet of the finance capital, the people who are really in charge of our pseudo democracies.





Against the Economic Mainstream: Criticism and Alternative Ideas

1 04 2009

By Economicsfairy

So far I have only found German economists and thinkers who believe that our current economic system is doomed and that there are other options available. I hope that if you google long enough you’ll find some English translations of the books, speeches and interviews.

- Prof Bernd Senf (Berlin) is quite popular in the German media at the moment. He is one of the few who can explain the deep flaws of the interest rate system.

www.berndsenf.de

Interview about the causes for the current crisis (unfortunately, in German):

- there is also Prof. Wilhelm Hankel (Frankfurt), an expert on currencies. He thinks that the Euro was a big mistake and has also added to the current trouble.

- Prof. Margrit Kennedy (website in English, yes!)

http://www.margritkennedy.de/index.php?lang=EN

She is a real treasure because she believes that there are other ways to organise our economy, with “Interest and Inflation Free Money” (one of her books)

This is what she says on her website:

“Money allows the exchange of goods and services and, in doing so, becomes one of the most ingenious inventions of humankind.

However, few people understand how money functions. If they did understand, we would have a quite different monetary system immediately – one which would bring more social justice, better opportunities for a healthy environment and higher stability of currencies. Dealing with this subject is really worthwhile.”

Please check all this out – and find people who are working along the same lines from other parts of the world. Would be great to have all these valuable links on our website.





It’s charging interest, stupid – important comment

1 04 2009

By Katkins

Great analysis D but the new money created by an interest rate can be supported in the economy if it is constantly expanding and growing exponentially.  This is where the imperative for growth in our global economic system comes in.  When the economy stops growing at the necessary rate then things get really problematic (as you describe).  And we also have to recognise that our earth has limits to the resources that it can supply and the waste that it can assimilate, which means that constant and ever expanding growth is certainly not an option.
A new report by the sustainable development commission in the UK tackles the problem of growth…
http://www.sd-commission.org.uk/pages/redefining-prosperity.html

In a sustainable, stable state economy, interest rates would be low.  and there would inevitably have to be regulatory instruments to ensure that lending was limited.  The problem with this is that the cost of borrowing can no longer act as a way of rationing the credit.

We need to find an alternative to our destructive ways and that has to happen now. We watch the deliberations of the G20 with interest today.

Economicsfairy: A very interesting comment, thanks – I was thinking about this myself, but at the moment I believe we need to design an economic system without interest, must be possible somehow.

Will update you on people who are thinking about this very shortly.





The story of stuff

31 03 2009

By Economicsfairy

Thanks to Jazzy, I came to see this here:

www.storyofstuff.com

It’s all about why our ideas of economics (see: “It’s the interest, stupid”) and consumerism can’t work in a finite world.

And how this consumerism started, how people started to seek “spiritual satisfaction” (I think that’s what we’re all after, even if we don’t know it) in shopping.  And how stupid a treadmill it is.

And also about what can be done (and what people already do), so it won’t leave you depressed.

Have a look (it’s really worth the 20 min), actually, it’s great fun!

And then: Do something.
