|    White man economy eating up the Earth &     |
|    29 Sep 14 06:55:36    |
      From: joshb@localhost.localdomain              Relevance to alt.native:       - It seems that only the native people of what whites call America        understand economics. Besides them, ancient Israel understood it        too. They both knew: the Earth can not be sold. Although you can,        if you put it in a bag first. Anyway: white man "culture" is        reportedly on the brink, it can't be fixed and it will go to world        war 3 as well. Similar things have always been said by the native        people, the whites never listen and they don't listen to me either.        They don't even listen to their own, talking in their language and        arguing things in the way that they would. Economy is unfixable        until it's fixed upon new foundations, and white man is going to        make a great disaster probably soon now. That disaster needs to be        used to get through to the white man (who after all rules the world        for a while, probably not so long anymore). (Sorry for combative        writing style, this is the way of the white man science system.)              Someone decried the activities of the private central bank       of the USA (FED), for not solving the unstable financial       sector. Reaction ...              *              You [person who blames the FED, even when they are no doubt       also to blame and a gaggle of gangsters] should look into       what kind of a system you have. You think it is merely "trade"       but it's not that simple. Most people think like we are in the       stone age, which is perhaps not so strange because they never       think ~ instead they have concepts in their minds that could       have been there from the hundreds of thousands of years that       humanity has lived in the stone age. Old habbits die slow ? Who       honestly thinks things through ? 99.99% of the people never do,       hence they stick with the old instincts. The market was quite       simple (presumably, if you think of wandering tribes): go out       into free nature, take what you can find, do something with it,       and exchange it with what another had done; most of this would       have been trade directly from the miner-producer-transporter       individual to the end-user. In later cultures there might have       been one step in between of the market trader. This is still       how people think of the economy today, and because of this       they still think that they are not doing anything unusual and       that the trade system will work things out.              What we had back in the day, was a trade system that was       embedded within the overwhelming power of nature. It was just a       tool for a specific problem (distribution of wealth by trade),       although there where even other ways to do that. What has now       happened however is that this trade tool has captured the       entire world itself, literally the Earth is being traded,       but also the people themselves are being traded, and they       are being traded as whole groups (say clans or families). The       control over whole productive clans is being traded by hostile       controllers, who do not have the best interest of the clan at       heart, yet they rule the productive clan (i put it in old words       to avoid the brainwashing that is embedded in the normal words       which are dehumanized and within which especially workforce       (workforce?! people!) is dehumanized, which would be: ownership       of a company is freely traded.) We also have money itself being       traded as if it where a commodity (loans). Not only has the       trade system captured the whole earth but it also captures the       businesses themselves - the People. Who remembers what it was       really about ? It was about manufactured products and spoils       of hunt and gathering/harvest carried in hand, and it was       about a direct service like perhaps repairing a tent together       in exchange for lunch & dinner. In todays world: virtually       everything is getting traded around, from the foundations of       the Earth and the larger production companies, to the labor       contracts within those companies, to what these people then       buy & consume, and then they go gamble with their excess money       (if any) back to the Earth and the big companies.              You see how it all floats around on itself, without any solid       place to have a foundation on ? There is no effect whatsoever       that will guarantee full employement for all (even when that's       one of the easiest problems to solve: give everyone their share       of land, who has valuable land can work by definition). There is       no guarantee whatsoever against the centralization of control,       the centralization of wealth. There is no limit on the amount of       money either. Only by stiff action and civil warThes is trade       in slaves outlawed; at least there is some of a victory there       ~ but on the other hand in terms of the overall instability       of the system it does not help a lot because the free slaves       become landless unemployed people; who then have to whore       their freedom away to someone who will make them work for the       business he had gotten the credit to build from yet other people       who where looking to make a profit out of other people's labor       without having to work for it. There they are following orders       all day as if they are robots or children, and they think this       is normal because they don't know what a normal life would be.              You'll notice the dumbing down you get from following orders all       day, by the way. That then becomes an effect that strengthens       the ability of the few rich to centralize more control and       turn this instable trade system into it's exact opposite:       an integrated top-down totalitarian plan-economy. That comes       about because the landless labor masses have no freedom       (because they have no land), they have no independence       (because they have no land), and after centuries of being       told every day what to do and how to do it they don't have the       brain anymore to withstand these social abuses or understand       them. They start to belief in the system that enslaves them,       perhaps something like a Stockholm syndrome: they love their       captors, because these keep them fed and without which they       stare at the great unknown (which is actually their lack of       farming and creative skills to make their land productive in       whatever way.) Because they are dependent (upon an employer       for a job, rather then stand free on their land), they have       to bid low on the value of their labor. Perhaps you could say:       because the whole trade system has grown out of proportion, it       captured its own foundations and started to trade them around       as well by which it became unstable as a whole: it will then       forever gyrate, churn, balance and unbalance, storm and go       quiet again, boom & bust, until it finally coalesques into a       new stability that grows inside of itself and that is it's own       polar opposite. That stability is slavery, direct boss-serf       relations. Since that is the only solid in the volatile mix,       it slowly like a growing crystal solidifies itself. The other       stability pole could be morality & wisdom: notoriously in low       supply in nations as a whole somehow. The morality pole can       stabilize the system by taking certain elements out of the       trade system, for example the Earth itself, and the companies       themselves (the clans).                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
