PAPER 2.
UNDERSTANDING HUMANITY.
It would first be prudent before we consider any
changes within our Global Governments to understand how we have collectively
arrived at our present situation today with a very disconnected style of
governance resulting in a very broken culture that increasingly disenfranchises
the masses and rewards the privileged with more power and materialism. If our discussion is primarily, at least at
this stage, concerned with a new style of governance (which we will term just
for convenience throughout this discussion as NMP) we will first explore how we
have arrived at our present dysfunctional situation.
Historically, at least in the ‘western style’ of
governance, around the beginning of the last century (1900s) with changing
social circumstances, a new style of politics came into being. Here, we will focus on the United Kingdom to
explore this model of governance. During
previous centuries of hierarchical control from either Kings, Queens and
Religious Institutions or the conveniently installed Parliaments, the masses
were certainly not privileged in the same way as were the relatively few that
made up the privileged classes. At this
same historical time the Industrial Revolution, New Sciences in Engineering,
Global Exploration and Exploitation were in full steam.
The old style of governance at this stage was rapidly
becoming less and less appropriate and not fit for purpose with the new World
Changes and it certainly did not advantage ‘the masses’. The ‘status quo’ was changing from the
assumed position of where everyone knew their place. Parliament remained
disconnected from the masses and continued to operate in a similar fashion, as
did the previous string of hierarchal controllers and where the masses
continued to live out their lives, little better than serfs or slaves to their
masters. What was required by ‘the
masses’ at these changing times, was a new style of governance that would at
least start a process to transfer some new privileges to ‘the masses’ in a way
that had never before been experienced in the United Kingdom. Where for the first time, parliament
representing the ‘New State’ would start to seriously look at ‘caring for’ and
‘serving’ in the best interests of ‘the masses’. This new society for the first time, now
seriously had ‘social reform’ in its sights for the ‘new workforce’ that was
the powerhouse of the industrial revolution.
A new style of
Social Governance was born. New
politicians such as Lloyd George had to find new ways of attracting new voters at election times, through a
political party voting system to support his political party. Lloyd George and other cabinet members
hatched a plan of ‘enticement’. There
was little doubt that the work force that powered the Industrial Revolution was
underpaid, overworked and exploited by their masters and therefore this system
required a humanitarian change. This
humanitarian change came disguised in a new type of Conservative Social Party
that promised a ‘new and more comfortable way of life’ for ‘the masses’. Again,
Lloyd George and his cabinet members offered their voters, for the very first
time, a new State Pension Scheme, free Health Care and Education for everyone,
in short, the state would now look after
you and take care of your future interests.
At that time, this new system seemed very fair and brought about the
beginning of a ‘new balance’ into an ‘old system’ that was very much ‘out of
balance’. This was the birth of the Nanny State.
These promises worked. A New Era in party politics was born. It really didn’t matter from here on what
political party the politicians represented: if you wanted votes all you had to
do was to promise a better future that was accompanied by something more than
you already had now. This ‘freebee’ would come in the form of a Social Gift. These same politicians told you that this
was a gift that you deserved and that it came from a party that cared for you,
a new spin on Party Politics to get your votes.
With this new style of politics and its ‘spin promising politicians’ no
one at that time had any idea that these ‘seemingly’ necessary social changes
that also gave them their mandate to govern, would take society into a new Social Revolution, the outcome of which
we are now forced to deal with today.
Historically speaking, Lloyd George, Winston Churchill and other cabinet
members of that period have been credited with being the architects of Great
Social Reform. Today, we are burdened
with this Colossal Debt that has been incurring over decades in an attempt to
Finance these Social Gifts from a politically based Economy that cannot afford
to privilege the masses in a way that was originally conceived of by these
architects of reform.
For example, what was initially offered as an enticement
for the first time ever in British history was an Old Age Pension for ‘the
masses’ that would commence at 60 years of age. The State now promised to give people a liveable
State Pension for the rest of their lives as a reward for a lifetime's work. This enticement sounded great, however, in
reality, the average life expectancy at that time for a male was 48 years. So in practice, relatively very few people
received this state pension. Indeed,
statistically there were approximately 20 ‘working men’ at that time, for every
one man drawing a State Pension. This
enticement worked and the votes rolled in.
This State Pension was economically affordable for the government at
that time and was underutilised by ‘the masses’.
Moving forward, during the 1940’s the pension age was
raised to 65 as life expectancy was increasing and here statistically, there
were now only 10 ‘working men’ for every one man drawing a State Pension. Today, the pension age has again risen to 67
years, however, the life expectancy for a man is at least 74 years of age and
rising, and now there are statistically only 2 ‘working men’ for every one man
drawing a State Pension. Just to be
clear on this point, what was initially affordable has now became unaffordable
and the UK government now has to borrow tens of billions of pounds every year
to make up the ‘short fall’ to maintain these State Pensions. Indeed, it is important to remember that our
governments ‘world-wide’ do not ask our permission to ‘draw down’ these
enormous loans on ‘our behalf’. These
loans are unaffordable and in reality, may never be repaid and are therefore
the responsibility of our future generations, long after the politicians have
retired or have been replaced by new party politicians. None of these politicians are ever held
accountable for their actions nor are they accountable for not fulfilling their
empty promises. Also remember, that this
Old Age State Pension as outlined above was just one of the many promises made
to entice the voter. These promises were made a 100 years or so ago as a part of a social revolution which at that
time was thought to be necessary but is now totally unaffordable and now not
fit for purpose.
To gain a clearer overview of the gross mismanagement
of our society through politics we need to add to this list of disastrous
outcomes, all the other promises made (failed and fulfilled) and how they were
funded, giving us a clearer ‘state of financial affairs’ or more accurately,
‘mismanaged state of affairs’. Then when
you add to this list the National Debts incurred through ‘War and Defence’ by
these same politicians, we would have to wonder why we have collectively
allowed this situation to occur and over such a long period of time.
It is most important at this stage to clarify the economics within this situation. The United Kingdom Governments have been
borrowing money for approximately the last 100 years to pay for these Social
Gifts including the State Pensions as mentioned above, as well as the myriads
of other loans in order to cover the yearly deficit shortfall on behalf of
‘the masses’ in order to govern.
Most of these loans are still outstanding, the informed politicians know
that there is no way of paying off this
debt so instead, channel some of the ‘collected taxes’ from the government
coffers to make interest only
repayments on these loans. These same
politicians when forced to face ‘fiscal irregularities’ promise further ‘budget
cutting’ exercises to gain more votes by governmental belt tightening in their
attempt to reduce the deficit. Let us be
very clear here, deficit and debt are two entirely different
monsters. The deficit is the yearly balance/imbalance between what ‘comes in’ and
what ‘goes out’ of the government coffers.
The debt is the accumulative
unpaid loans that have been amassing over the decades. If you are only repaying the interest on
debts the debt never reduces. If you
decrease the yearly deficit occasionally, this still means you are borrowing
‘more money’ to make up the yearly shortfall, so the debt is still steadily increasing.
Politicians are proud of their achievements when they
decrease the deficit, but forget to tell you about the mountains of debt that
can never be repaid. This ‘kicking the
can down the street’ conundrum and making the future generations responsible
for that debt has become such a problem, it is now bankrupting ‘entire
nations’. Even the interest payments are now almost impossible to maintain while the
debt is exponentially increasing. The world is bankrupt. The world has been bankrupted by a hundred
years of successive governments and the naivety, stupidity and ignorance of
politicians who either do not understand the situation or do not care about the
outcome: all they care about is how long they can hold on to their privileged
positions of power.
This current situation of World Economics is
outrageous. 100 years of governance under the political system of FPP (First
Past Post) has favoured the game of Party Politics. Again, it is outrageous that these
politicians remain unaccountable for their actions over the last century
through to the present day. The
responsibility for our present circumstances does not just lie at the feet of
our politicians and their party games as there are others who are complicit in
our World-Wide Social and Economic Catastrophe.
Indeed, it is necessary to more closely examine the antics of the
‘Tri-part Tag Team’ the major game players who have collectively engineered our
societies over the decades and the conclusion of which has led us into the
situation we find ourselves in today.
This tri-part tag team with their hidden agendas has
manipulated the conscious perception of ‘the masses’ into believing that the
complex world we find ourselves in today, is best managed by them and the
complexities of governance is beyond mere mortals. This tag team is of course, made up primarily
of the various Governmental Parties with their Politics and agendas, the
National and International Bankers with their politics and agendas, and of
course the National and International Corporations with their politics and
agendas. Let us be very clear here
regarding the World Banking System, its Financing and Creation of New Money - we do not have a world monetary system
based on money that is ‘real and tangible’ anymore, instead we have a world
monetary system that is based on available credit. This is an alarming situation to be in. When the world monetary system was based on
the Gold Standard this system was usually accompanied with a tighter fiscal
responsibility by all, there was more transparency and accountability with less
manipulation: although the whole process was still clouded with deceit and
control, it was slightly easier to monitor as the Gold Reserves behind the
currencies were ‘solid and tangible’ even though, usually ‘out of sight’. However, the world Bankers abandoned this
more fiscally responsible monetary system based on the Gold Standard and
decided to just ‘print money’ instead, creating it from ‘thin air’. Alarm bells
should have rung out very loud at this time.
The governments around the world and their politicians
have allowed the banks ‘carte blanche’ to do as they wish in return for an income stream of credit. Let us also be very clear here, if you or I
were facing bankruptcy with huge outstanding loans that we were unable to clear
for many decades and could also only barely afford to pay ‘interest only’
payments, having successive years of income budget deficits to fund our
lifestyle, there would not be a bank anywhere in the world that would keep
lending us money. However, this is not
the case around the world with the relationship between Banks and Governments. WHY?
National Governments could, if they wanted to, create their own money
supply from ‘thin air’ and print this money accordingly, as and when it is
required (we will return to this statement later), however, they do not.
National Governments and their politicians have given
this process over to the World Bankers who themselves now create ‘new money’
from ‘thin air’ and then provide an ‘income stream’ based on available credit back to these
Governments, as and when required, the interest rate for which depends upon Rating Status. Let us also be very clear here, as previously
mentioned, the World Monetary system is not based on ‘money’ but ‘available
credit’ and this credit comes in the form of Instruments. (An Instrument is
a piece of paper stating its perceived value that is created by the Reserve
Banks. It has a verification number for security and book keeping
purposes). These Instruments are usually
printed in higher denominations of ‘notes’ with the lowest denomination usually
being 100 million US Dollars/GB Pounds etc.
Many of these ‘notes’ are in the denomination of 1Billion US Dollars
(known as a 1B note) through to regularly used 100 Billion US Dollars (known as
a 100B note). These valueless pieces of paper have printed upon them a
perceived value based upon the Reserve Banks' requirements and are little more
than a promissory note for their
accounting purposes. These pieces of paper (Instruments) have no real value;
they are not based on anything that is tangible yet they are traded
Internationally and are the part of a mechanism for moving money around the
Financial Globe. These Instruments are
sold, exchanged, leveraged against and traded Internationally within the Phantom Economy. Similarly, when a Government through a
Reserve Bank requires more funding, it does so by issuing ‘Government Bonds’
that can also be purchased at the printed ‘face value’. These Bonds are also ‘monetarily valueless’
as they are also based on an idea that somewhere out into the future they are
worth their perceived ‘face value’ and that they have the ‘nation's currency’
as security blanket behind them. The
enticement for their purchase is a ‘yearly dividend’ paid out of the Nation's
Monetary system ‘in cash’ the percentage of interest being based upon the
‘perceived stability’ of that Country’s Economy.
In short, these Government Bonds have an ‘income
stream’ attached to them that is paid directly to the owner or bearer of that
Bond. When a Nation's finances are
healthy, these ‘interest dividends’ are relatively low, reflecting the ability
for both the continuation of its ‘income stream’ and ultimately when the Bond
(or Instrument) is surrendered back to its domiciled Nation on maturity, the
payment can then be made on its ‘face value’.
In comparison, when a Country's Economic standing is distressed, the
interest on these Government Bearer Bonds becomes excessively high, ‘draining’
the Nation's coffers. As with most
financing, the ‘Interest Rate’ is commensurate to the ‘Risk’. You may ask ‘who the buyers of these Government Bonds are’ - particularly at a
time when a Nation is facing fiscal hardship or even bankruptcy? We are sure you have guessed the answer - the
Global Banking System. These Bankers are
after the Real Economy Money. So there we have it, the true nature of this
symbiotic relationship is that one team member, in order to help out another
team member, robs it, for the only part of the exchange that is real.
Let us also be very clear here: the Reserve Banks around the world are not part of our Governments but
instead are Private Companies with
Directors and Shareholders. The name
Reserve or Federal Bank is associated with these Private Institutions to
legitimise them for the masses, however, they are separate entities and are not
a formal part of Governments around the world.
This symbiotic relationship should become clearer
between the Governments, their politicians and the World Bankers with their
lines of credit, now that we have a
better understanding of how these two parts of the ‘tag team’ play out their
part in the grand illusionary monetary game within the ‘Phantom’ economy. Governments and their politicians have at
their disposal, an almost endless supply of credit based on ‘meaningless pieces
of paper’, in return for, an ‘income stream’ of ‘tangible money’ that is based
within the ‘tangible world of commerce’.
The Banks now receive a ‘tangible income flow’ or in other words, ‘real
money’ to fill their coffers.
The third member of this tag team are the National and
International Corporations that exploit the masses and the world resources
while engaging in manufacturing/producing and/or creating commerce Nationally
and Internationally. In return for
favourable support from the Political Parties, together with any necessary
legislation from that government in favour of that support, their activities
are legitimised. These companies in return, fund the Political Parties and
provide the necessary funding for the elaborate circuses held at election
times. For example, in the last
elections when Obama was reinstalled in the USA, his election campaign cost in
excess of 2 billion US Dollars. An
interesting footnote: you should not be too surprised to know that Obama came
out of Political Obscurity, funded by International Corporations and Bankers as
a political instrument under their control.
We have little more to say on this subject at this time and leave you to
draw your own conclusions.
The individual members of this tri-part tag team are
of course ‘self serving’ and are primarily focused on their own activities and
agendas, however, when it is necessary they will collude for mutual security
and survival with the other members of the team. This relationship over the past 100 years has
been very successful and is now in total control of our beautiful planet and
our resources, enslaving the masses. Now
they are engaged in the final part of their grand plan, the confiscation and transfer of wealth from
around the world, leaving the masses disenfranchised Socially and Economically
with little or no voice.
This tri-part tag team would have you believe that the
world economic situation is reasonably healthy and at best, needs a little
tweak. However, let us be very clear
here again: we will use the World GDP as a reference point. GDP is the Gross Domestic Product the meaning
of which is subject to many interpretations, however, it is a useful measure of
the movement of Funds, Commodities, Governmental and Private Sector
Expenditures and all the transactions through Commerce etc, etc. The present World GDP is approximately,
800,000,000,000 (8 hundred trillion) US Dollars. This includes all the World Banking
activities, including Trading of Derivatives, Interest Rate Swaps, High
Frequency Trading, the Trading in Government Bonds and Reserve Bonds and
Instruments, Futures, Stocks and Bonds and all the various forms of Leveraging
Assets and other Instruments, Government Expenditures World-Wide, Healthcare,
Education, Welfare System, World and National Defence budgets, etc etc. This also includes National and International
Commerce generated from the Real Economy.
In short, World GDP is the
combined total movement of all money ‘real and phantom’.
Approximately, 600,000,000,000 (6 hundred trillion) US
Dollars of this World GDP is the activities created through the National and
International Bankers. These Bankers
would have you believe that their business and products are real and tangible,
however, at best we will describe them as products of the Phantom Economy. This
Phantom Economy has no real asset base in the ‘real world’. It is fictitious. So, three quarters of the World GDP is
fictitious. Now let us look at the
remaining 25 percent of the World GDP approximately, 200,000,000,000 (2 hundred
trillion) US Dollars. Just to put this
into perspective, the total National US Government debt, plus its US Private debt now stands at approximately,
100,000,000,000 (1 hundred trillion) US Dollars. Also remember, that the United States of
America represents less than 3 percent of the world population. Returning to the above 25 percent of the
World GDP, if you strip out of this figure, most of the other excesses from
Governments around the world, what we are left with is the real and tangible
World Economy that is created from its Commerce, this would represent
approximately 80,000,000,000 (80 trillion) US Dollars to 120,000,000,000 (120
trillion US Dollars). This we will call
the Real Economy where a community
invests into its own manufacturing and producing commodities or commerce,
engaging themselves in all aspects of this process and producing tangible
products that are then bought, sold and consumed in the real world.
It is
difficult to put an exact number on the ‘tangible’ World GDP. However, it would be approximately only 10 to
15 percent of the World GDP as discussed in the model above. (80 to 120
trillion US Dollars is still a very big number). It is interesting to note that today in the
United Kingdom approximately 87% of the GDP is derived from all the various
types of Banking and Insurance activities, a large majority of which is
conducted
‘off shore’ for
the home market or for the Global Banking markets, in short –
this is the Phantom Economy. The remaining approximately 13% is from the
tangible manufacturing market place and its associated commerce, in short -
this is the Real Economy. If we compare the GDP from the phantom and
real economies of both
the United Kingdom and the World GDP’s, they are
remarkably similar. It is also interesting
to note, that Governments, now and in the past, in the United Kingdom together
with International Corporations, manipulate and hide these figures. Indeed, in
recent times, some of the largest International Companies have been accused of
not paying any or insufficient taxes to their various host countries because of
tax havens and the lack of any cohesive type of international authority that
can monitor the true activities of
some of these Giant Corporations globally. It was only after public outrage that with some
of these companies including Amazon, MacDonalds, Starbucks, to name just a few,
pressure was brought to bear upon them as international companies to be more
‘socially responsible’ and to stop cheating the British Inland Revenue of its
taxes. Again, if you or I manipulated
our income to avoid tax, we would be accused of defrauding the Inland Revenue
so, there is an obvious double standard applied here. These corporations either get away with
paying ‘no tax’ or they themselves decide what compensation they are ‘prepared
to make’ in their payment of taxes. In
short – this was the outcome with these above named companies, they choose what
they are prepared to pay.
Today we are faced as previously mentioned, with the
final part of the tri-part tag teams' plan for World Domination, a ‘One World
Order’ based upon an all encompassing Fascist system that privileges only the
very few. In reality, from an historical
point of view this seems to have always been the way. The masses have been mistreated and
mismanaged one way or another, by those upon whom they had placed their trust
or by those who had seized control. This
last part of the trilogy is well underway: this is where they strip away
decades of accumulated wealth from ‘the masses’ and transfer it to their own
accumulated wealth. This theft is now
particularly more visible within the comfortable middle classes having their
standard of living reduced. The
Governments and Politicians are complicit in this final disgraceful act of
theft by introducing Austerity. Tightening one's belt by making Cuts and Savings
in an administrative Government regime that has grown out of all proportion is
one thing, however, attempting to pretend to be fiscally responsible and remove
Social Support from the masses without
replacing it with a more workable system, is deplorable. Governments around the world want their Economies
to grow in tangible and real ways ‘the Real Economy’ in order to create higher
taxable incomes from the creation of ‘real employment’ that is both sustainable
and profitable, topping up the Government coffers. However, when Governments introduce
‘Austerity’ accompanied with removing vast amounts of tangible money from the
economy, it is at best, gross fiscal negligence or a gross violation of trust given
to the Government by ‘the masses’. In
our present Economic and Social system the largest single employer is that of
the State, funding all manner of projects and Social Services. When there is a major ‘belt tightening’
programme introduced from within this system, the money supply necessary for
the economy to work and grow is now being removed by the Government
itself. Equally so, when the Banks also
engage themselves in a belt tightening programme, often imposed by Governments,
they withdraw or remove vast amounts of CREDIT that puts enormous pressure on
Commerce and the Real Economy. You cannot
expect an Economy to grow while you remove a large portion of its tangible
asset base and lines of credit, by closing down the supply of its money, all of
which is absolutely essential for businesses to grow and prosper.
All our societies World-Wide face Economic and Social
Bankruptcy under this style of governance: the Banking Institutions,
International Corporations, Governments and their Politicians have all been
complicit in this deception and together they have co-created this deplorable
situation. This system has now failed us. Similarly, the outdated ‘not fit for purpose’ Russian
styled Communist Party also failed. The
so called, ‘Free Market Forces’ that have been operating for the last 100 years
have also failed us. By not placing any
or too few ‘checks and balances’ to regulate the activities of the Banking Sectors
and large Corporations, collectively, they have now failed us and are ‘not fit
for purpose’. Perhaps, it is now time to look towards NMP
for a more sustainable, fairer and more equitable form of governance
globally.
It is most important to have a full understanding of
why a system has failed if we require a new system that does not follow the
same path as our current system. It is
for this reason that it is necessary to look at another statement in a previous
discussion in the footnote accompanying the protocols in Light of Humanity - It
is also necessary that everyone in all communities contribute ‘one way or
another’ into that community. We will explore this topic
in our next discussion as it follows on from here, PATHWAYS FOR SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY.
