The Open Free Press

Rarely in my Fifty Four Years have I ever been wrong. It is just one of those things I am blessed with. However I am holding my hands up on this occasion and declaring a lifelong error of judgement. I have been relentlessly critical of the Press and Television alike. I have blamed them for the deterioration of society, the mindless brain washing of the masses in addition to aligning themselves with the Government of the day as a propaganda machine. Their other transgressions are too numerous to list here but if you are the type of person I think you are, you know what they are anyway. Read the rest of this entry →

My chat with Scott a few weeks back came to the attention of Bill Sharon. Bill runs a weekly podcast  and kindly invited me on for a chat, which we did a few days back and which you can access below. [Please note that Bill, like myself, suffers from the sad affliction of having his hand glued to his chin.]

Not surprisingly we cover certain aspects of the current economic meltdown but also some of the bigger picture issues with regards to the unfolding of human consciousness and how each of us can begin the process of becoming ever more responsible for building the type of world we want to live in.

A “Must See” video doesn’t come along that often but I feel confident in suggesting that Statism is Dead Part 3 (below) falls into that category. As succinct and comprehensive account of your true status as “Human Livestock” as you will find anywhere. This 16 minute presentation effectively summarizes the nature of our lack of freedom and most of the key systems of deception and dissimulation that are employed by those who farm us.

Capital Partnerships:
A Debt Free Solution to the Property Crash

Now there are times, this most definitely being one of them, when one can get a little down in the mouth as it were about banks and money and credit and whatnot. What to do, what to do.

That the banking system has been designed by half-wits is now self evident. Actually, that’s incorrect. The simple truth is they are not half-wits but bright, cunning rascals who have known for a long time exactly what the results of a spiralling tower of interest bearing debt would be; basically the plundering by the have of the have nots. Same old same old. Yet it doesn’t have to be this way.

First published in the British humour magazine “Punch” on April 3, 1957, the following neatly encapsulates the tone of the cheeky madness that is our monetary and banking system. Of course, customers do in essence lend money to banks by depositing it there, but it is not true that banks do likewise. The money that banks lend out is created as an interest bearing debt out of thin air, which I suppose is the best place to create it out of.

Now here is a man who knew what’s what. “The Free Press” may have been written some ninety odd years ago, but the observations and comments made by its visionary English author Hilaire Belloc provide a thorough guide as to the nature of so-called free speech within a so-called free nation. In fact, Belloc would have been most comfortable with the pioneering spirit of the internet and no doubt a blogger par excellence -

“I PROPOSE to discuss in what follows the evil of the great modern Capitalist Press, its function in vitiating and misinforming opinion and in putting power into ignoble hands; its correction by the formation of small independent organs, and the probably increasing effect of these last.”

The interminable disinformation put about recently with regard to the global financial crisis (which, by the way, has barely begun and to which all the wrong causes are being knowingly attached) proves Belloc’s point. The manipulation of consciousness through the covert control of the news agenda has become reality defining for huge numbers of defenseless viewers and readers. Belloc’s tight essay goes some way to providing inoculation against this infection.

I’ve been wittering on about INTEREST for what now seems like several months. After discussing this issue with Scott and some other luminaries (see podcast in previous post), I had cause to write a comment or two which I now place below. May you find it … interesting.
