 David IckeI am me; I am free! The Robot's Guide to Rebellion
Excerpt from Chapter 7 We can get seriously hooked into sterile, diversionary, debates about
economics and money. Economists are wheeled on nightly to tell us how
important some irrelevant financial development is to our lives and
why this or that must happen to compensate. It usually involves
bigger taxation, holding down wages, or higher prices. We then worry
about money and attract what we fear. It is a vicious circle. We have
a "can't do" economic system which reflects the system as a whole.
It's designed as a prison. By "can't do" I mean that anything that
really needs doing to fundamentally improve life on Earth cannot be
done, according to the mind doctors, because of its effect on
"economic stability" - in other words it doesn't suit the Global Elite
and their controllers on the Fourth Dimension. " I know what you
suggest would help people," they say, "but look at the effect on
inflation or the public sector borrowing requirement". You name it and
the system will offer can't do.  |
It is only that we choose not to do it
and because the economic system is designed to prevent positive
change. It is a prison because it is meant to be a prison. We have
people in need and people who have the skills to help them, but the
rigidity of the economic (Elite-created) structure seeks to stop the
two getting together. When they tell you that something can't be done
because it would harm the economy, they are lying to you or betraying
their own misunderstanding of what is going on. Economic-speak seeks
to confuse us and diminish us because we don't understand the language
and what seems to be such a complex web of figures and data. In fact,
it's dead simple. You lend people money that doesn't exist and charge
them interest on it. Everything over and above that is a smoke-screen
which is built on the foundations of lending people money that doesn't
exist and charging interest on it. Without that global conjuring
trick, it all comes tumbling down. And yet when we hear predictions
that this system will collapse there is enormous fear among those who
are enslaved by it. I can understand that, given the way we are
conditioned. But why are we desperately trying to shore up the walls
of our own prison? Let it go, the quicker the better, and then we can
create a system of interest-free money and exchange that is based on
abundance for all, and not, as today, on manufactured scarcity which
leads to dependency - control. I we think abundance, there will be
abundance.
