Part IV - Conversations With God...about Gold and Silver!
http://www.roadtoroota.com/members/images/706a.jpg
WE ARE DIRECTLY POSITIONED ON THE TIPPING POINT OF OUR BATTLE SO I THOUGHT I'D CHECK IN WITH A HIGHER POWER...
Bix: Hello God.
God: Hello Bix. How are you dealing?
Bix: I'm dealing OK. It's kinda hard to wrap my hands around the aftermath of the coming chaos but I guess I shouldn't sweat it too much.
God: You are correct. Life is about living in the moment for the most part. This particular moment in time is very, very special as BIG changes means BIG opportunities to experience life at it's wildest, learn valuable lessons and understand or even prioritize those things that are most important to you.
Bix: Are you suggesting that I may be putting too much priority in Gold and Silver?
God: Not at all. Gold and Silver have opened many important doors in your evolution. They have awakened in you a much larger understanding of your world, how the past has evolved and solidified, how you want your future to be constructed.
Bix: You are right. One of the HUGE lessons I've learned is that HONESTY is a very important trait of a great society. Without honesty human beings can never truly be free.
God: Very good. And that can be applied to the current situation with your monetary system. The discoveries on your "Road to Roota", as you like to call it, are very profound.
Bix: How do you mean?
God: You have discovered the secret behind the global monetary conspiracy. That decades ago a group of good and honest people decided to secretly rig the free markets in order to prolong the un-backed fiat monetary system and destroy the strong hold of the global banking powers.
Bix: Yes, but what good did it do? We are in total and complete chaos at the moment with everything in the financial world falling apart. That "global banking power" will surely try and seize the last of our freedoms when the crash hits. How could the original Road to Roota players like Alan Greenspan, Ron Paul, Ronald Reagan and Paul Volcker have gotten it so wrong?
God: They weren't the only ones but remember what you said before... "HONESTY is a very important trait of a great society". No matter if their original intentions were altruistic in nature, a monetary system that can only thrive in the shadows and must be sustained by DISHONESTY cannot liberate a nation from the clutches of their corrupt rulers. Lies build upon lies until an evil hydra of deception is controlled by those who thrive in that environment.
Bix: So they made a mistake in implementing the "On the Road to the Golden Age" economic model from the 1960's? Basically, that great economic model that Greenspan adopted so thoroughly...was wrong.
God: You will find that a great many theories and models created in the Universities and think-tanks that look so promising on paper have adverse results when they are implemented in the "real world".
Bix: I know. It's like the Behavioral Finance guys that President Obama hired to run his economic team. Larry Summers and Austan Goolsbee taught courses and wrote papers on the theory that if you PORTRAY to the world that the economy is strong then people will go out and spend thus making it strong. I keep thinking of that old saying "If you build it...they will come."
God: But nothing was built. Lies and deception make very weak structural supports for a free and open society. The webs of lies are so pervasive in your economic and monetary world now there is only one way out.
Bix: To crash it all. We should orchestrate a crash taking down the entire monetary system and declare all debt forgiven...right?
God: No. You can not crash the system because no one person or group has enough power to speak for all the vested parties...which is EVERYONE on earth. The system will crash itself and leave nothing in it's wake.
Bix: How's that possible?
God: A better question is "How is that NOT possible?". Your electronic and paper monetary system is a GARGANTUAN MONSTER of both real and fake monetary instruments. These monetary instruments are valued in the QUINTILLIONS and are highly leveraged on FAITH.
Bix: Faith? What do you mean by faith?
God: Faith that you can get cash out of your bank. Faith that when you buy a stock your brokerage company actually purchases the shares on your behalf. Faith that countries and nations around the world TELL THE TRUTH about how much money they are creating. Faith in that the system you have grown up believing in is a reality and not a total and complete fraud.
Bix: You mean all that is not true? I'd never thought about it quite that way. Wait...you mean GOVERNMENTS are not reporting their true monetary positions to the rest of the world?
God: Most people agree that government "reporting" is fabricated from unemployment numbers to inflation numbers to telling you "Green Shoots" are springing up in our economy. Why is it such a stretch for you to believe that the reported monetary creation figures are false as well.
Bix: You mean things like the US debt ceiling debate and the M1, M2, M?? all a smoke and mirrors show?
God: What's to stop them from creating UNLIMITED electronic forms of money and not tell anyone? They already told you that they would do ANYTHING to save the economy. Where is the line in the sand?
Bix: This is unbelievable! I'd heard stories about random diplomats in the shadows trying to cash in multi-billion dollar US bonds and certificates but I guess I never thought it through.
God: So think it through here and now.
Bix: Ok. If I were trying to control the world the most important tool I'd need was control over money. In a way, money represents a place to store a person's past productive earnings in a society and a way to spend those productive earnings in the future. If you control the money you can change the value of an entire societies productive earnings. With increases in the supply of money you can, in effect, decrease the value of a person's past production. The production did not change but the future value of that production has. Money has that kind of power.
God: Good. That's why a stable monetary system is so important in a free and honest society. It's all about what is fair. The value of a days work should not be diminished by those in the shadows who control the money. Money must be sound for a society to flourish. Now relate that to your monetary system today.
Bix: What monetary system? We have bankers and governments creating money at will. It's so EASY now. We don't even need paper and ink. They can create trillions of dollars out of thin air with the stroke of a computer keyboard. The difference between $1B and $1T is a letter in the alphabet! Entered into a computer the difference is three 0's!
God: Yes. And what are the controls in your system today?
Bix: There are none. It should be inflation but the numbers released by the government are a complete lie. Nobody believes them anymore. Usually the prices of gold and silver would skyrocket but those are being controlled by computer programs. Then I guess it would be the holders of US debt would start dumping but the Federal Reserve owns the most US debt and they are the ones creating the money. I guess China could sell off their US debt but they like their weak currency because it creates jobs in China. They also like the control it gives them over the US. Gee, I really don't know if there is anything that controls the reigns of monetary debasement in an un-backed system.
God: Good. So there are no controls on the amount of money that can be created in your current monetary system. How much money do you think is being created behind the scenes since there are no controls?
Bix: I guess it is limitless! We already established that governments lie in their reporting so why do we believe they are telling the truth about how much money is being created?
God: No controls + no truthful reporting + massive market manipulation = Limitless money creation
Bix: Wow. So how does it all end?
God: The same way it has always ended...Loss of FAITH.
Bix: What do you mean?
God: We have talked about the importance of a monetary system in an honest and great society. As money is a transitional instrument of a person's past production it must stay sound and strong until that person is ready to spend their past productive earnings. In order for a person to dedicate their time and energy in producing something they must have FAITH that they will receive FAIR VALUE for their efforts.
Bix: So if people don't believe the money they receive for their work is of equal value then they will not work.
God: Would you?
Bix: I guess not. But I have to pay bills. I have to live and eat and provide for my family. I am too deeply invested in this monetary system for it to end.
God: None of it will matter soon. It was all an illusion and now it is time for the people of the world to wake up. It is time to end the game of un-backed fiat money and start fresh. A new beginning. One ruled by honesty, open dealings and fairness.
Bix: Sounds too good to be true...but it really does feel like the time.
God: You have decided. This is what you choose.
Bix: Ok. How about the big question? WHEN? I want a date. A deadline.
God: Ha! You are choosing the date. This is your life. Your experience that you are creating. Why don't you tell me WHEN?
Bix: Fine. I want this to start now and be done within 6 months. Wait...there's a few things I still need to do. How about in the next few weeks?
God: Ah...do I sense hesitation again? This is YOUR time table. You decide.
Bix: FINE! Next week. What do you have to say about that?
