What we are watching price out through the political process is life vs. death. More specifically, the financial value of the life and death of various groups and ages of people vs. the life and death of large banks and corporations.
In a market economy, if a person’s skills become outdated, the theory is that they will be encouraged by their need to generate income to learn new skills or change.
If a large bank or corporation can no longer generate revenues to cover its operations, likewise the theory says that it will change. Management will invent new products and services, cut expenses, renegotiate with creditors through bankruptcy or shut down.
However, in a bubble, the people and the corporations and banks all avoid change by going to the government and coming up with thousands of ways to keep their operations afloat using government funds so they do not have to change– government programs, subsidies, contracts, credit, guarantees, regulations and so forth. This is why I start my case study on how the system really works with that old New Jersey street saying – “Make a law, make a business.”
Changing the laws, however, does not change the real world where fundamental productivity continues to count. So over the last twelve months, after many bubbles, there was not enough for everyone. So we made a decision to shift most, if not all, of our remaining resources to the large banks and corporations.
What this means is that if people do not need the products and services of the banks and corporations, rather than let them die, we are going to use government and central banks to simply take money from people to keep a bank or corporation alive without customers or markets.
So the institutions created to serve markets are deemed to have lives of their own that justify subsidizing them even if the markets are gone. Government can guarantee markets even when customers have no money to buy goods and services and taxpayers can not afford to pay taxes.
Big banks and corporations are guaranteed life. In addition, there is no prison or death penalty for big banks and corporations as a result of their bad behavior, including when it causes the death of people. So their life is infinite.
To pay for this we must take resources from people — with taxes, with fees, with inflation, with lower benefits and with legal and economic warfare. If they do not go along, we can send them to prison or inflict the death penalty.
Hence, an overview of a series of policies is emerging from Wall Street and Washington which is crystal clear.
People will die so that corporations and banks without retail markets, customers or purpose can live richly, although not anywhere near as richly as the invisible forces that hide behind them.
“It is this sense of duty which causes them to avoid confronting the system”. Catherine, I think you are partly right. I have concluded from my life experiences of over a half century that we are each desperately alone in a vast and challenging wilderness here on planet earth. We humans tend to hold onto any guideposts we can find; to trust in people and organizations that appear provide a sense of security and a hope of physical and psychological survival. You ask others to let go of all that they have accepted as secure. It is too much for them to face reality. What you refer to as “duty” may often be simply their choice of the nearest apparent refuge in a storm, even if it is only short term or illusory.
Catherine, can you please investigate and comment on Ed Story’s comment?
I think it’s really important!
I hope you can get someone knowledgeable in the “freeman” concept on your Solari report?

“At the same time, I have no children and my parents are dead. I believe that many people feel very strong obligations to dependent parents and children. It is this sense of duty which causes them to avoid confronting the system” Yes Catherine you are right. I too have no children, I take care of my elderly parents. They are from the depression era and are still in it. Socialist to the core and have the entitlement mentality that it is their turn to be taken care of courtesy of the current working class just as they took care someone in their tax paying past. I DO confront the system and have all my life since returning from Vietnam in 1975. I am an enigma according to my parents and brothers and sister yet I feed, clean and house my parents and TRY to get them to understand; to no avail! They say I am stupid for not joining the system. My Dear Catherine, You have been an inspiraton to me and Please Never let the b*s*a*d*s grind you down. Ever! We must survive to help dismantle the system. Stay Strong.

The Pope is correct when he says we are living in a “culture of death.” My question is with five major world religions claiming to believe in a Creator, who besides the Pope is speaking up for God, for life? Perhaps all of humanity needs to look into the mirror and realize our economic system and our government is merely a reflection of what the people have allowed it to become. We can save ourselves but we must have the courage to do so, and we must live morally as God would have us do. Rene-Paul is so on point about the entitlement mentality. It is so pervasive so many people think nothing of stealing from others for some selfish gain for themselves. The inevitable result is scarcity and doom for all. I so appreciate this forum because I draw some comfort in knowing others see the truth and can intelligently articulate it.
O.K. I don’t think I can explain it any better…Bouvier’s Law Dictionary
Bureaucracy: The abuse of official influence in the affairs of government; corruption. This word has lately been adopted to signify that those persons who are employed in bureaus abuse their authority by intrigue to promote their own benefit, or that of friends, rather than the public good. The word is derived from the French.
now for the one you believe in…from WIKI
Bureaucracy: is the collective organizational structure, procedures, protocols and set of regulations in place to manage activity, usually in large organizations and government. As opposed to autocracy, it is represented by standardized procedure (rule-following) that dictates the execution of most or all processes within the body, formal division of powers, hierarchy, and relationships intended to anticipate needs and improve efficiency. In practice the interpretation and execution of policy can lead to informal influence.
Everything you consider government or public or political is in the REALM of the law society and they all follow its dictates…the first use of the word is the one they follow…The second is for private use.
P.S. I hope anyone who is really serious looked at my first post and at least followed the first clue and explored the dun and bradstreet site with key terms!
II. P.S. I agree Richard, please Cathrine investigate and give us your take. Am I mistaken…is there an alternate interpretation…? Is it not a FACT that the formally known, The United
States of America was bankrupt in 1933…So what does everybody think happened and what that means for our currently restructured US govt. and how does that influence you…Kinda like the Creature from Jekyll Island…? http://www.freedomforceinternational.org/
III. P.S. Katherine the pope is correct if you 4research far and deep enough you’ll see the Vatican is a prime mover and pusher of that ‘Death Culture’…take the blue pill, if you don’t you will only believe the next lie…
Just questions and as always communication from the DNA to the UNIVERSE…!!!!!

“Everything you consider government or public or political is in the REALM of the law society and they all follow its dictates…the first use of the word is the one they follow…The second is for private use.”
Let me just say that’s got be be one of the most interesting things that I have come across in quite some time Ed story! It really shows you just how important and essential an understanding of law is today and woe to those who don’t. It also reminds me of the KISS formula Keep It Simple and Strqightforward or as some would say Keep It Simple Stupid.
It also reminds me so much of a business leader and academic who once told me that for the most part business today is largely done in a court of law. I want to go out and immediately buy Bouviers Law Dictionary for myself. Thank you.

Ed and Richard:
Not sure how to respond. I am staring at a list of 80 plus hours of work that I am committed to do this week. Not sure how I put it down and read and watch all of that and respond in detail.
I will add it to the parking lot for a time when it is energizing to revisit these issues. My expectation is that I have been through all this material although in a different form.
I very much appreciate your comments and support. Appreciate your patience…..
Catherine
