The worst mistake Science ever made, is to
go on using hundreds of equations containing a time factor, without ever
having defined what time really stands for.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
World in Upheaval
Don't make a mistake:
The present financial crisis is not a temporary phenomenon soon
to be brought under control. This crisis is an integral part of the greater
picture of the ongoing Demise of the West.
Look at:
- The moral decay, corruption, decadence, apathy and
permissiveness of modern society. - The entrenchment of interest groups and
the cartels. - The degradation of standards. - The calcification of the
institutions. - The alienation between government and people - The sitting
bureaurocrats, not able or not wanting to make changes when and where
necessary or create new directives where needed. - Copy heads, all of
them, leaning one upon the other, smothering whatever new initiatives and
ideas in the butt. Never admitting when wrong.
( like some bleeding hearts in this forum S :rolleyes:)
-Then there is loss of trust in the institutions, in the
government and loss of trust between the people themselves. Trust is the
glue that holds society and a civilization together. Once trust is lost,
society disintegrates and civilization dies.
The West has lost its lust for life, its stamina and its vision
of the future. Lost its capacity and elasticity to adapt, to change and to
live. Its systems calcified, its blood veins blocked and itsengine seized
up. The West is tired and terminally ill.
In nature a healthy animal does not get ill because of ticks.
Only then, when the animal itself is not healthy, will the ticks take the
upper hand and multiply. Same goes for society, where the sucking parasites
have gotten the upper hand and are killing the host. Parasite number one,
the Banker, followed by the entrenched bureaurocrats, politicians, the
lobbyists, the lawyers and all these that take unrightfully advantage of
unaffordable social rights and laws.
There is the concentration of capital at the top in the hands of
an unassailable elite barricaded in untraceable holding companies, covered
by the anonymity of share and bond holdings. They control the world's
finances. They control the media to serve but their own interests. They
manipulate of what once were free markets.
Once in the good old times the family formed the corner-stone
upon which society rested and where-upon the economy prospered from the
ground up, from grassroots. The burger held the money, the gold and the
silver. These times are gone. Today, all and everything is being controlled
upside-down, directed from the top. The base of prosperity, the family
entrepreneur is no longer.
Three hundred years ago the Banker, The Merchant of Debt
obtained the permission to establish the Bank of England, coupled to the
exclusive right to issue the nation's currency. In the time span of three
hundred years the Merchant managed to copy and establish his Central Banks
in all the countries of the world and issuing their national currencies. He
absconded with the people's hard asset money, the gold and the silver,
substituting it with worthless fiat paper, printed at no cost to him. And
thus the Merchant of Debt usurped all the riches of the world in exchange
for nothing.
( a verrry old tirck TPTB keep playing. S )
How on earth is it possible that people and government, already
burdened under a yoke of phantom paper and debt, are now crying for even
more phantom money and phantom credit, the same that got them into this
mess? Will they never learn?
Why don't they turn in the first place to him, the Merchant of
Debt, who stole all their gold and silver and claim their real money back,
directly from him, instead of being further force-fed to death with ever
greater amounts of his worthless phantom money and credit?
That would settle the matter once and for all, instantly. And would the
Merchant refuse, the consequences will be his. Then the
people will take back by force what was once legally theirs.
In Central Europe, centuries ago, subjugated and exploited by
the Roman Church by putting the fear of God in people, the revolting masses
ransacked the opulent churches, burnt the golden icons and put the priests
on the stake.
The French stormed the Bastille and guillotined their aristocracy. Not to
forget the Communists and what happened in Russia and China.
Once people get into a rage, they will do anything.
And I tell you, lately I have done a lot of travelling around the world and
talked to many: workers, middle class and even well established society.
With all of them I encountered a strongly growing sentiment, first of unbelief
and then of flaring anger, damnation and hatred against all what is banking.
Finally people are waking up, realizing that they are being systematically
robbed and unsuspectedly being enslaved in the Merchants chains of debt.
And then to think, that we are only at the beginning of the crisis!
How is it all going to turn out once the crisis really starts to bite,
the economies collapse and breadlines form?
You have seen nothing yet. There will be no peaceful solution!
Blood is going to run in the streets and the forces of order will succumb
under the waves upon waves of demonstrators boiling with rage. All these
Savil Row politicians, muppet burocrats, eurocrats and whatever rats with
their TV-smiles, will fall by the way like dominos. They have nothing to
smile about, the situation is dead serious.
And thus the Merchant of Debt has ruled the world for the last
few hundred years, because he is Caesar and he holds the gold and who
holds the gold, rules. Let the people find out who the
Merchant really is by
passing a law, that from now on all share and bond certificates must be on
name, while declaring all bearer shares and bonds illegal. That would open
up the Merchant's spider web of anonymity to public scrutiny and help to
find out where he has hidden his gold and silver!
However, things have not exactly turned out the way
the Merchant
of Debt planned. His Robber Barons have become rather independent. They
have thrown all prudence overboard, running wild in pursuit of their own
riches and not their Master's. The Master has lost control. And in their greed
the Barons are in the process of taking the whole of Western Finance over
the cliff with them.
Why try to repair and resurrect a system, that has proved
fraudulent in the core from the outset and has but served to enrich the
Merchant of Debt and his lackeys?
Why reappoint the same criminals, that got us into this
mess in the first place?
There are fairy tales and fairy tales I cannot believe in. For
instance, the Reichstag Fire that brought Hitler into power. The Tonkin
accident, that gave the USA the excuse to invade Vietnam. And where are
the 8000 tons of gold that should be in Fort Knox or wherever? They are gone!
Where are Sadam's Weapons of Mass Destruction that started the Iraqi war?
And what about the events of the 9th of September 2001?
After reading all the comments and analyses of the latter and hearing that
even a former Italian Prime Minister and a Japanese MP expressed serious
doubts, I cannot see the Twin Tower collapse but as a planned political
power grap.
All lies!
Who can still believe in a government, the news media, statistics, or the
value of paper money? Once trust is gone, it is gone forever.
I cannot believe anything anymore.
The same way I cannot see the election of
Obama and the near unchallenged nomination of his cabinet as
anything else than well planned before hand from "above".
A Cabinet made up out of the same old entrenched
mafia that got America into this mess in the first place.
The same way as Reagan had to accept Bush Senior as Vice President,
in order to get the necessary support from "above" to be able to run for
president,
same for Mr. Obama! Yes, Mr Obama, would you like to become president?
You are the man with the best chances. Not to worry, we will finance
your campaign. But with the condition that you take Biden as your
Vice-President, Hillary as your Secretary of State and the following Goldman
Sachs people into your cabinet. And do not dare to interfere with what they
are doing!
Obama, Obama, Fata-Obama! When the Fata will have faded, the
world will be in a bigger mess than ever before.
Could I be wrong? I have never seen such a fast and smooth
nomination of a cabinet by an incoming President. Looks too well organized
before hand. The only whimper of hope the world has left is, that Obama, the
moment he might feel strong enough on his own, might have the guts to kick
off his chains of bondage and go his own way.
But then, as what Chavez said:
if Obama does not follow up, they will kill him.
Neither Obama, neither the Rescue Plans (rescue whom?) will be
able to change the course of history. The money-spine of finance, where
everything turns around and depends on, is kaput, broken by the loss of
trust. And as they say there is nothing more dead than a dead love, so is
nothing more dead than a trust betrayed.
With its money spine broken, the West has had it. Not the
slightest chance of recovery. The West had become so corrupt and calcified,
that nothing will help. No recession, neither depression. The world will see
nothing but disintegration.
People have forgotten, that rights are subject to obligations
and responsibility. That without morals, trust and discipline society cannot
exist. There is no other way than the hard way for people to learn to think
again and become responsible again for their own deeds, not to be dependent
on leaders running around like a bunch of headless chickens.
The West will have to pass through decades if not ages of
upheaval and chaos on its road of decline, before a new age might dawn.
Revolution and war will witness the disintegration of empires and mass
migrations.
For me there is only one great historian,
Oswald Spengler, who
in 1911 wrote his "the Decline of the West" (Untergang des Abendlandes).
He sees the history of mankind like the life-cycles of societies playing out
over hundreds of years. Each with its own characteristics, just like the
life of an individual. From an awakening in the spring, to the creation of
culture in the summer, to civilization and expansionism in autumn, to
finally freeze up in the winter of disintegration, decay and death. Spengler
compares the Egyptian, the Babylonian-Assyrian, the Islamic and the Western
civilizations next to one another. The Fall of the West, however, will see a
rather different and faster ending than its predecessors.
-Firstly, there are the extraordinary technical achievements
unique to Western Civilization, speeding up the succession of events into
high gear. Everything is happening faster and faster.
-Secondly, there is the high degree of specialization in all
layers of western society. Notwithstanding that some people may be highly
intelligent, specialization leaves little chance of keeping up with what is
overall happening. Only few people are still capable to analyse and
understand what is going on in this world, the rest belongs to the utterly
confused masses.
-Thirdly, where the decline of a civilization is playing out in
a full world, with no spot on the planet not covered by humans, the present
scenario has no precedent in history.
-And lastly there is the West's self-induced dependence on a
most fraudulent system of virtual currencies without any intrinsic value,
that is fast imploding and not gradually slipping in value like the metallic
currencies of the past.
A currency is something all and everything is related to and
depends on. A currency is like the spine of a nation, of a civilization, and
when that spine collapses, then everything related to and dependent on, is
destined to collapse.
Out of the blue, the world has entered the great unknown.
Nothing to refer to, nobody in control, nothing to hold on to and nobody to
trusts, while the sequence of events is speeding up.
The world is rudderless, the governments in utterly confusion
and the people becoming desperate.
The financial weapon of mass destruction has exploded.
While the Robber Barons and the old guard politicians doing
their utmost to save their own buds by trying to keep the status quo for as
long as possible through massive injections of fiat paper and virtual
credit, the master culprit, the Merchant of Debt
himself, has retreated into
hiding, not in anyway to be identified with the present crisis.
Injections will not help the economies.
Hyper-inflation will take over. The fury of the people will throw the old
guard politicians out and hopefully the Robber Barons in jail.
The State will nationalize all banking business and major industries.
And being burocrats, they will make an even a bigger mess out of finance
than the bankers before .
The State is taking over. All kinds of controls will be
instated: import-export controls, price controls, currency transfer and
payment controls, production controls and people controls. In the end, with
all the planned public works, subsidies and an corresponding ever growing
bureaucrocracy, everybody will be on the State's payroll. Dislocations and
shortages of everything will become the rule of the day.
The Merchant of Debt might try to make a come-back in a last
effort to regain power by selling his digi-gold scheme to the State,
together with the licence to manage it. Tentatively, three times already,
the Merchant's World Gold Council and the Merchant's Council on Foreign
Relations, has published the digi-gold proposal already in view of testing
public opinion. It claims to be a resurrected gold-standard, where the State
keeps the referent gold in custody, but where the public will have no claims
on the bullion and will hold but nothing as a virtual gold card. Digi-gold,
based on what gold? Must be fantasy gold, as the world's treasuries are
empty having leased out the nation's bullion, never to see it back. And no
bullion will come from the side of the Merchant either, who will not think
about ever surrendering his own hidden hoards.
The idea is to trick people into just one plastic card per
person each for all financial needs. Obligatory all personal information
would be added to the card, thus making every person for hundred percent a
slave of Big Brother State. Let us hope such Orwellian plan will not
succeed.
In the slide to the bottom, it will be each country and each man
for his own. Under internal and external stress, old Alliances, Super Powers
and whole Nations will brake up. No more globalization. No more reserve
currencies. No more free borders, free trade or easy migration. No more
banks except to facilitate the general flow of money. No more BIS, Bank of
International Settlements, no more IMF or World Bank.
No more stock exchanges and financial markets, not after they
cheated the hell out of everybody! Currencies will retreat behind their
borders. No more Dollar and Euro. May-be a local Zim-Dollar, a Rus-Mark or a
Yuan left, besides gold and silver circulating anonymously in international
grey-markets.
New trade-agreements, mostly barter deals, bypassing the old
Anglo-Saxon dominance, are being signed daily. The world's resources are
being carved up between the eventual new powers of the 21st Century.
Resources will be the (war) game of survival in the 21st century.
Only there on earth, where the people will still have some
individuality left, abide morality, discipline and tradition and still have
their town markets and themselves are able to provide for their basic needs,
only there will civilization have a chance to survive.
The world will not fall into depression. Depression does not fit
in with the present mood. People are nervous, unsure and agitated. The
panic of survival, the people pressure and hyper-inflation
will spur government and people into high gear. Inflation works like a whip:
people have to work harder and harder to stay in the same place, that in
contrast to depression.
But as always, there will be some individuals, dye-hard freedom
lovers, with an instinct for survival, that will manage, some way or
another, to escape from under Big Brother's controls, keep their
independence and freedom and survive by using their brains, backed up by an
secret stash of freedom money of precious metals and or some high value
industrial metals and may be some high quality precious stones. They will be
the pioneers that will lead the world to a new and hopefully better future.
There is no way that mankind will be able to survive with today's
dog-eats-dog mentality. That only leads to ever more warmongering,
guaranteed suicide and mutual annihilation.
Man has no other choice than to try to ascend,
at the least one step up, on nature's ladder of evolution, to finally start living
as can be expected of an intelligent human being. Mentality has to change.
People have to learn to think again, talk to one another and trust one
another again.
If not, man will simply be discarded by Nature as a miscarriage to descend
into a state of ever slaving and warring ant-societies.
( Orwell . S )
People are their own greatest enemies. Their own weaknesses have
destroyed many a prosperous society. Keeping the human weaknesses in
mind, I have a few suggestions for the benefit of future generations:
A world made up out of a manifold of small States, - united in a
New World Council, - limited from around six to ten million people, where
everybody can feel part of and where the leaders will always be in the
limelight, will provide for a much smoother ride into the future, than a
world where only a handful super-powers are constantly at one another's
throat.
A currency must be resistant to fraud. Only hard assets like
gold or silver, that have their own independent, intrinsic value are money.
Fiat money should be declared illegal. Subject to standards of weight and
purity private enterprise not government should be responsible for coinage
and emission. Money has to be able to circulate and adjust freely from
grassroots' level up and not be dictated from the top. Moneys role is to
passively facilitate and not to guide the economy.
All what constitutes debt and interest must be outlawed.
Participation in ventures should be restricted to personal share holding on
name and not held by a company.
No more down payments, short selling, options, futures and
derivatives. Cash only on the deal!
Markets must be transparent, published on the internet and
standardized.
So far the suggestions.
In closing this essay, I would like to add a few thoughts about
a subject, that has nothing to do with finance, but with western
materialism. A contrarian interpretation of the Essence of Time might help
people to get away from all the present destructive materialism to regain
their footing.
2009 has been declared the Year of Astronomy by the United Nations.
I wonder if they are referring to the stars, or to the
astro-economics of modern finance: the astronomical losses, the
astronomical derivative numbers, the rescue packages, budget deficits
or the threatening astronomical hyper-inflation?;)
But jokes aside, except for some great technical advances,
Science is stuck in a cul-de-sac with aged ideas. Since the beginning of the
20th century, Science has not managed to make any significant progress in
explaining the basic workings of the Universe.
Science is getting ever more stuck in their own confusion and stubbornness
by persevering in the wrong direction. So why celebrate the
Year of Astronomy when there is nothing really to celebrate?
The calcification of the Scientific Establishment is just as
much a sign of the Decline of the West as the West's own decadence,
imploding finances and economies turning sour.
Since Einstein's Relativity, the Planck Constant and Heisenberg's Uncertainty
Principle, no further great advances have been made. The erroneous
explanation of the cosmic Red-Shift, leading up to the Big Bang, has been
a major mistake by Science.
The prima-dona academic establishment is refusing to look at any new ideas
that might undermine their holy grail.
The worst mistake Science ever made, is to go on using
hundreds of equations containing a time factor, without
ever having defined what time really stands for.
Well, I got news for them. And here I am feeling as sure as
Bruno even when standing on the stake still refusing to retract his
brilliant view of the cosmos.
After years of deliberation I have come to the definition of
Time, A definition, that overturns many a holy grail:
Time is the force that moves and changes the whole Universe,
with all it contains, with the absolute speed of light, into the future.
-The definition makes Time absolute and Space relative, without
invalidating Einstein's mathematics of Relativity. Time and Space just
changes places.
-In parallel, multiplying Einstein's equation of the atom with
all the atoms the Cosmos might contain, the definition of Time brings the
whole of the Universe, like the atom, under one, most simple, equation and
well TE=M.TA2 , made up out of three dimensions of Time and no more.
-It disposes of the Big Bang Theory and returns to Fred Hoyle's
Steady State Universe.
- It shows an Universe, not consisting of matter where only by
pure chance matter is creating life sporadically, but the other way round,
where it is the Force of Time (the Force of Life?) that creates matter and
with it the whole Universe.

Oswald Spengler:
The Decline of The West, 1922
The future of the West is not a limitless tending upwards and onwards for all time towards our presents ideals, but a single phenomenon of history, strictly limited and defined as to form and duration, which covers a few centuries nd can be viewed and, in essentials, calculated from available precedents. With this enters the age of gigantic conflicts, in which we find ourselves today. It is the transition from Napoleonism to Caesarism, a general phase of evolution, which occupies at least two centuries and can be shown to exist in all Cultures. The Chinese call it Shan-Kwo, the "period of the Contending States." In the Gracchan revolution, which was already [133 B.C.] heralded by a first Servile War, the younger Scipio was secretly murdered and C. Gracchus openly slain---the first who as Princeps and the first who as Tribune were political centers in themselves amidst a world become formless. When, in 104 B.C. the urban masses of Rome for the first time lawlessly and tumultuously invested a private person, Marius, with Imperium, the deeper importance of the drama then enacted is comparable with that of assumption of the mythic Emperor-title by the ruler of Ch'in in 288 B.C..
The place of the permanent armies as we know them will gradually be taken by professional forces of volunteer war-keen soldiers; and from millions we shall revert to hundreds of thousands. But ipso facto this second century will be one of actually Contending States. These armies are not substitutes for war---they are for war, and they want war. Within two generations it will be they whose will prevails over all the comfortables put together. In these wars of theirs for the heritage of the whole world, continents will be staked---India, China, South Africa, Russia, Islam called out, new technics and tactics played and counter-played.... The last race to keep its form, the last living tradition, the last leaders who have both at their back, will pass through and onward, victors.
The idealist of the early democracy regarded popular education as enlightenment pure and simple---but it is precisely this that smooths the path for the coming Caesars of the world.
The last century [the 19th] was the winter of the West, the victory of
materialism and scepticism, of communist socialism, parliamentarianism, and money.
But in this century blood and instinct will regain their rights against the power of money and intellect. The era of individualism, liberalism and democracy, of
humanitarianism and freedom, is nearing its end.
The masses will accept with resignation the victory of the Caesars, the strong men, and will obey them. Life will descend to a level of general uniformity, a new kind of primitivism, and the world will be better for it.....
