There is great information on this blog. I enjoy your writing. I’ve added the feed to my Google Reader RSS subscriptions and will be sure to spread the word to my friends. I did get some errors with how quick this page loaded. Might be something to fix.

Destroying the Middle Class and Fabricating Enemies – the Two Strategies of the American Financial Elite in Times of Panic The article analyzes the following paradox of socio-political behavior in relation to war: while rich profit-makers want wars because of their financial interests, many poor are pro-war because only through enlisting or/and expressing pro-war sentiments they feel themselves as active and respectable citizens of their country. Other ways of self-realization are closed for them (especially in periods of crude unemployment, like in US today) because of their poverty and lack of education. American rich decision-makers know that and try to pauperize the Middle class – to create a new poor majority and to stimulate their jingoistic behavior that is typical for poor who only through militancy toward “enemies” of their country can get a voice and be appreciated for their existence. The second task of the rich conductors of public opinion is to find/create enemies to occupy the poor and distract them from fighting for their rights by creating wars. As soon as the only way for the poor to make a little bit of money is to enlist – the more enemies US will have, the more poor people will collaborate with the elite 2% of population - as soldiers, private contractors and right wing enthusiasts.

Does anyone have the ear of President Barack Obama’s Economic Recovery Team?

First, the good news: Yes, some people has the ear of both Obama and his team.

Now, the bad news: All of them belong to the cunning cabal you mention in your excellent article.

So, back to square one. Please, find another solution.

Hi. The short 170 word thing seems really interesting. I need to ponder it further. But, you say “a citizenry is quintuply repaid” — where do you get “quintuply” from? Why is it not double, or tripple, or say 6 times?

I’m to be one participant in a panel discussion with 4 diverse others (including the Head of the local Manufacturers Association.) So I’ve got only 12 minutes to speak. Its the demon of demos. I think of meetings as assembled labor power and try never to miss an opportunity to raise consciousness of alternatives a little at a time and to give people some idea (e.g., greenbacks) on which they can take some action step, even if it is just writing their Congressperson.

You make a good point about the overwhelming. I’ve made it, if I can even get to it in 12 minutes, by talking about how, if the entire U.S. debt was monetized, our foreign creditors China, Japan and the wretched petro-tyrannies might have to back-flow capital to U.S. banks. They could put it into FDIC insured CD’s. I don’t want Dubai Ports World running our ports, but so long as we have klepto-capitalism, I foresee no problem with our foreign creditors, under strict regulation, recapitalizing Bank of America, Citi, and J.P. Morgan Chase with deposits, so long as they also bought enough stock to take control of executive appointment and compensation. my guess is that they’d be less reckless with ‘their own’ capital.

i look forward to reading your book.

Thank you Robert Cogan for ordering Money: A Mirror Image of the Economy. When you read that, you will find correcting the monetary system much simpler than you perceive. But even if you correct it without first correcting property rights law, as applied to nature’s resources and technologies,denying others their rightful share of what nature offers to all for free, your new honest bank will be overwhelmed by the massive unearned sums from the untouched monopolies which we are told do not exist.
This little 168 word economic thesis eliminates all monopolies even as all are well cared for while working half today’s normal employed hours. You will read it all in that book which will shortly be in your hands. Thanks again for ordering it. J.W. Smith
