Wall Street / Money Never Sleeps – Richard Grove on The Corbett Report
James
Corbett and Richard Grove, certainly two of my favourite
commentators, discuss Oliver Stone's movies and what they reveal
about the system. Very often we seek out the words and work of
people we recognize from our own experiences as knowledgeable about
the system, especially if we're working in it. Most of us
have had our mentors, especially if we had any serious business
experience. Grove tells his story enough to give you a perspective
on his experiences gaining knowledge of the system; he went in as a
lamb and discovered the wolves. Many of us have had similar
experiences, enough to know that the metaphors are more than
accurate.
Before
I continue, Grove mentions Buckminster Fuller, a man I actually met
in person when he came to speak at my college. He was quite old. I
understood right away that he was among the most original thinkers of
his age. His work certainly deserves study, though Grove was correct
in describing his blind spots. We all have them no doubt.
At
one point Grove describes money as counterfeit value. That's the
point where we decided this interview
needed to be linked here. Of course Grove was referring to their
money as so similarly described by E. C. Riegel; watered down through
government spending over taxation resulting in inevitable price
inflation; each quanta of money losing purchasing power.
We'd
really like to ask Richard Grove if he could honestly see a world
without money, without a recognized vehicle of exchange, yes
everything we think of when we use or abuse money? In every case we
know of, societies that attempt to ban money soon become tyrannies.
We'd entertain the possibility that something really as important and
so directly related to private property, as we honestly believe money
to be, and something as indispensable to business as money, should be
something that can be designed to operate free of many of the
problems associated with their money. By their money we
include every fiat government money on the planet, whether issued as
a loan at interest or not, and all gold and silver. That's all their
money.
The
money advocated by this blog is based on the ideas of the autodidact
economist E. C. Riegel. His idea of a quanta of money would
equate to a unit of purchasing power equal to some unit of money on
some date. If you want to preserve purchasing power of your
money, you design it to retain a particular piece of purchasing power
that can only occur on a specific date. You relate everything else
in prices based on this single unchangeable quanta of purchasing
power. Riegel called it a Value Unit or Valun. Here is where you can
read more about this blog's proposal. Here is where
you can track the value of the proposed Value Unit. Here is where
you can apply to be a delegate to the premiere conference of the
International Valun Exchange Society.
Each
of us going forward has our particular mission. We respect the
contributions of other researchers who honestly seek the truth. We
will continue to link them here as they relate to our very quiet and
calm mission, to educate people concerning the liberty that their own
money represents, not at all as the lying Austrians (usurers all) see
it, nor as the so called Keynesians (he'd be rolling in his grave)
see it. Riegel had a different set of ideas. He left us a pencil
sketch. From this, it has been our long term intention, to erect a
new monetary system that shall in most respects flip the present
order on its head.
But let's face it, we are living in times of
great change and grave challenges. From our standpoint, much that is
harmful could be eliminated if more people would ... retire from the
present system ... walk out on it, let it die. Those who continue to
work for the most hated corporations or organizations without
conscience ... cannot indefinitely escape responsibility for their
crimes. “Come out of her, my people.”
