AN ERA AND CONCEPT LEFT IN THE ISLAND'S

Any discussion of financial policy by any politician of any political party affiliation in any nation that does not begin with a call to restore the power of money creation and issuance to the government in such a capacity that it is made to serve the public good and not the private rapacity of a banking class, is merely deception, and deception for a very simple reason. The big secret of money is not that it must represent something, but rather that it must represent someone. As such, there are really only two basic models of money known to history, the first model, where money represents a debt interest-bearing note - the "something" - created by a private monopoly-the "someone" - for its own class interest and profit; and the second model, where money represents a receipt for goods and services - the "something" - produced by a state's people - the "someone" - who through the agency of their state issue that money to themselves, debt free.
The problem of money is thus not even the what nor the how much, but the who, i.e., the who behind its issuance. The first model is a kind of "false alchemy" or a technology of black magic, for it is ultimately a technology to gain the mastery over the will, genius, and productive activity of a people, and ultimately, over the physical medium itself. And it is all based, as we shall now see, on a breathtaking series of historical, conceptual, and physical deceptions, and these can only exist so long as there are those unwilling to unmask the deception, or so long as there are those who acquiesce to that system and are unwilling to free themselves from its chains.
