Before
moving on to other papers and series, we thought to give our readers
some tools of perception with which to better perceive the present
world and current events. One contributor who cannot be ignored
would be George Orwell (1903-1950) whose real name was Eric Blair.
Orwell wrote Animal Farm, a satirical novel based on the
Russian revolution and its aftermath. His other masterwork, 1984,
is on our top ten book list and should be read by everyone.
Animalism
is a communist philosophy (ideology) of all of the animals being
treated equally and sharing equally in both the responsibilities and
rewards of the farm. Here are the seven commandments of animalism
and their analogies:
1) Whatever goes
upon two legs is an enemy.
Enemies are those on the
other side of any ideology: us vs. them. If one has enemies, one
needs protection and one usually buys one or is FORCED into
supporting one, known as states, the greatest protection rackets
known to mankind down through history.
2)
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
Friends
are defined. You don't decide who your friends are, the state
decides for you. Unbeknownst to you, people who got rich had these
tax dodge institutions formed to tell the government what it wanted
done and the results were and are social engineering done on such an
insidious scale that eventually we all wake up in a fake world.
That process is ongoing right up to this second.
3)
No animal shall wear clothes.
No
friend will ever adopt the inclinations, preferences, ideas,
attitudes and proclivities of the state defined enemies starting with
one's outer garments; everything about you will conform to what the
state expects from you.
4)
No animal shall sleep in a bed.
… extended
to the enemy preferences for any comfort including housing, extended
villages, society, etc. Examples are ever smaller dwelling units and
everything sacrificed to the level of having or owning or dealing
with as little as possible. All minimalist trends.
5)
No animal shall drink alcohol.
… extended
to the enemy preferences for food and drink or possibly any drugs or
cognitive enhancement nutraceuticals. Anything the state forbids,
you shall accept their edicts and obey accordingly.
6)
No animal shall kill any other animal.
No
friend will kill another friend. So if and when a friend kills
another friend, it was and is the state that made the decision
according to its own needs to preserve its power and extend and
consolidate its control.
7)
All animals are equal.
All
friends are equal and the state determines the nature of that
equality. It is never up to you or me. If you and I are friends as
defined by the state, then we are equals.
What
can we learn from this?
A
few things actually. Let's try to begin with ideology. It has two
definitions:
1) “a system of ideas
and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or
political theory and policy.”
The trick word is of
course ideals and we know what happens
when one has a social irritant concerning ideals; they become
idealism, a poisonous social solvent deliberately concocted to cause
division, chaos and catastrophe from which the people with money
expect eventually to gain. (The character of Mr. Potter from It's
A Wonderful Life should come to mind).
This
definition includes things like, "the
ideology of democracy" with synonyms: beliefs, ideas,
ideals,
principles, ethics, morals.
2)
“archaic - the science of ideas; the study of their origin and
nature.”
So we use the first definition which is far
narrower than the second which used to be more inclusive. Notice
morals are included.
So morality is defined as “principles
concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad
behavior.”
This definition includes “ethics,
rights and wrongs, ethicality, virtue, goodness, good behavior,
righteousness, rectitude, uprightness; morals, principles, honesty,
integrity, propriety, honor, justice, decency; ethics,
standards/principles of behavior, mores, standards, particular
systems of values and principles of conduct, especially one held by a
specified person or society: the extent to which an action is right
or wrong.”
What I've said for a long time about
morality boils down to two things:
1) Awareness of right and
wrong, etc. cannot be assumed of everyone and
2) The purpose of
morality is to keep its followers safe.
Basically, a moral
person is going to be in a safer position most of the time than an
immoral or amoral person. But, can moral awareness be impaired or
absent? Dare I ask what in our present worldwide distraction service
may tend to cause impaired or absent moralities?
What this
blog has always intended is to deal fundamentally and honestly with
the question of money. Not where it does come from now, hence all
the various weird economics associated with that, but where it really
belongs; where money MUST come from, if we intend on proceeding
further.
Animalism, like communism, socialism, fascism, even
nationalism, and what we might even call weaponized democracy, are
all forms of statism; a social irritation with the state
(various ideologies spring forth from this) which demands that the
public uniformly and unquestioningly accept state pronouncements as
if issued by God; the authority of the state. Why did we look to the
state for so much? Because the money power left most of us no
alternative. Most of us have taken it for granted that none of us
has any power except those with money without asking how or where it
came from because frankly the whole subject was mighty mysterious to
us and we thought we'd rather not bother with it. But we complain
about it all the time. So it doesn't make any sense, does it?
Hey,
this is the 21st century. Don't you suppose we might have
learned a few things about subjects like this down through the
centuries, come on, like money, to have some better ideas than to
just content ourselves with something that did not work well for the
vast majority when it was in place? You know what I mean, the so
called “gold standard.” What a hoax that is!
First of
all, even under THEIR gold standard, the money is still lent to the
government at interest and the governments get to spend it before
anyone else gets any and the rest trickles down … You know what?
Gold per se, is NOT the solution and that retired congressman baby
doctor from Texas knows a lot less than any of you imagine on the
subject. The “Austrians?” Their stuff proves what I've said
consistently in this blog about all economics; nothing but an
apologetic for the present system and that is all. Base an economy
on usury as the “Austrians” do and eventually the money lenders
own things that didn't at first belong to them. Understood?
The
other dragon that must be slain is inane panegyrics against fiat
money. We accept that all known fiat money has eventually failed and
we know why it has failed and it has NOTHING to do with the money
being issued by fiat but WHOSE fiat is used to issue it. ALL known
fiat currencies were issued by BANKS and lent to STATES at interest.
The currency that is most visibly failing right now is Venezuela's
and it is no exception.
As Riegel pointed out, states have
nothing to sell back to the public for all the money they issued by
spending it into the economy. The most they could do would be to tax
back as much as they spend, and that would “back” it, but we also
know why they can't do that; because of capitalism, we must allow
some socialism else the people would revolt.
We hold to
precise definitions here on this bog: capitalism is making money on
money without work and unless you are rich you can't be a capitalist
by definition. If you have been conned into using this word to
describe what you do, which is probably free enterprise or PRIVATE
enterprise, then kindly drop capitalism from your vocabulary and
avoid further cognitive dissonance. Just because one is not a
capitalist doesn't make one a socialist. Socialism is the inevitable
result of capitalism, the two systems were deliberately devised to
take over the world materially, socially and politically, to seal the
fate of the freedom of the vast majority of humanity and to ensure
the continued power structure's continuance in power. THEY
(globalists, bankers, elites) do NOT care about you. In fact for the
vast majority of you, THEY propose that you … go off somewhere and
die quietly, so as not to disturb THEM at THEIR destructive and
self-destructive games.
Those out there with
some artificial political-economic axes to grind had better trace
every last fact and idea you think you know right back to its
original source before accepting any of them as absolutely true.
It's time to drop a lot of conceits. I did. So can you. It's the
path to perhaps learning something new every day one is alive, rather
than assuming that knowing things is something one does when young
and thereafter gives no further care for the time and effort it takes
to learn anything more.
