the main problem of this planet is the current monetary system.
The media tells us that we live in "the best of all worlds", that we have never made such a tremendous amount of progress and that the future perspectives are very promising. But noone realy dares to look behind the system to realize that our society stands at the brink of decay and is doomed to fall, and that our current World is by no means one of the best. a review of our history shows, that the mechanisms keep repeating themselves and that the present is not an exception from that. the development is always from boom to crash to crisis to war. and the development of the monetary system has always been the driving force to that.
Usury has rightly made itself hated becasue money ITSELF is now the source of profit. money is not used to what it should be. It has been made for the exchange of goods. but interests are money FROM money and therefore is the most unnatural line of business" - Aristoteles
Our interest-system is a system with expiry date. You can look at it as if it was a monopoly game. Someone is lucky to start under good conditions and earns more money then the others. he gives loans from that capital and demands interests. that way he earns even more money and can give even more lonas etc etc.. the others in the game lose more and more of their money and the pressure and competition increases. the amounts that are paid to the winners multiply themselves very quickly. at an interest rate of 7% the amount of interests that have to be payed doubles every 10 years for example.
i´ll take germany as an example (for obvious reasons since it is our neighbour country): germany had to pay (a few years ago when there was still the old currency) 1000 billion DM of interests (depts of the country, business, housholds and indirect interests). in 50 years it will be 64,000 billon DM and in 100 years 2,048,000 billion DM. HOW should that be payed????
If we want to understand history and learn from the failures of the past, we first have to understand the basicas of money. Culture is based on the society. society is based on economy and economy is based on the monetary system. So when there are problems in the monetary system they instantly affect on the economy, society and culture. when the financial system collapses completely, then society collapses aswell.
And when you search for the driving force in the monetary system you´ll find the compulsion of every economic area to get into dept.
the depts can NEVER be repaid, but instead grow each year by the given interest-rate. it is important to not only look at the depts of the state, but also at the depts of the economy and the private housholds. when for example the country - as in america - causes less depts, the growth of depts in the ecomomy rises even more.
On balance you can say that everywhere on the planet at any time when there was a monetary system with interests to be paid, the depts exploded and lead to a collapse. the growth of depts is the absolute counterpart to natural growth. while every natural growth starts fast and slows down after a while, the growth of interests starts slow but after a while it explodes into infinity. compound interest make it even worse. but since we live in a finite world, an infinite system HAS to fail and lead into chaos. its the same as cancer. at the beginning it is only one cell, but it divides onto 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. untill there is no space left and the body dies. its the same with an avalanche or an atomic bomb. every system that is based on an exponantial compond interest MUST fail.
the final stage is normally accompanied by a boom at the stock-market because the ever growing interest-capital is in need for further means of beeing invested. a crash and economic crisis is the direct result. and that leads in most cases to war which creates new posibilities to invest the capital profitably.
a good example for a interest-system in the final stage is the crisis of 1873. enterprises have been founded with massive indebteness and converted into joint-stock companies. the companies where extremely overrated. the value of the stock was in most cases 3 or 4 times bigger then the actual value of the company. more and more peeps entered the stock marked (does this sound familiar?). with all sorts of tricks (mostly trough mass-media) more and more people where lead to the stock market. in 1871 and 1872 there was virtually 1 new enterprise at the sock market PER DAY. the development was acompanied by ever rising costs for lodging. because from the upper strata of society there was a massive run for luxurious property. the development terminated in march 1873 in a collapse and the population was plunged onto poverty. hundred-thousands lost the basis of their livelihood. the crisis lasted 23 years and ended around the turn of the century in a time where booms and crashes alternated untill the whole development lead to World War I.
"The system of capitalism means eternal war. Wars are attempts to solve economic problems in a capitalistic way. the decisive question of the peace movement is: 'will we succeed in removing capitalism from the society?' When capitalism prevails, then the age of everlasting war will continue irrespective of all peace-conferences." - prof. Ruhland, System of political economy, 1908
Bad economic development is the basics for a military conflicts.
WW 2:
in the 1920´s, after the first world war, the world was experiencing an enormous economic uplift. stock market literally exploded. that development ended abruptly with the big bang in NY in october 1929. Capital receeded from the market due to ever rising insecurity. that caused a dramatic price-drop. Because of that deflation the turnover of goods receeded also because everyone was waiting for the prices to drop even further. enterprises where forced to fire thousands of people, thus decreasing the purchasing power even more. alot of banks had to close for the loans could not be repaid. the situation was hopeless. only with WW2 the economy rose to new heights because weapon industry offered promising possibilities to invest money again.
in germany the economic situation was even worse after the crash. the amount of money circulating in germany was bound to the gold-standard, meaning that a certain percentage of the value of the money had to be stored in gold and was therefore bound to the value of gold. when amierica retrieved their gold from germany, the gouvernment was forced to take alot of money out of the german economy. at that time the law was, that 1/3 of the value of the currency had to be stored in gold at the reichsbank. so for every unit of gold that was retrieved by america, the gouvernment had to retrieve 3 units worth money from the german economy. that, of course lead to massive deflation. the average income sank by 40% between 1928 and 1932 and the gross-investments even by 75%. economic perspectives where getting darker and darker and there was a big rise in unemployment. in this situation the radical NSDAP managed to rise from a lil party-fragment to the biggest party in germany on a 1:1 ratio with the growth of unemployment. so it was not the apathy of peeps that where sick of voting or didnt care- it was the bad economy and the suffering that drove peeps to vote for a party that promised them work and wealth. else the NSDAP would never have made it to the leading party and Hitler would never have been our Führer.
after a war there is very ofteh the impression, that it was unpredictable. but the truth is, that in most cases, everyone with some basic knowledge in financial matters has been able to forsee it.
here are a few examples:
Prof. Ruhland (1908) warned 6 years before WW1
"when excessivley taking the advantage of loans, with the help of bank and stock-capital, a national aswell as an international chaining of private enterprises takes place in what seems to be a well-planned manner. this, in our belligerent age, will one day lead to a crisis. a crisis of an extent that has hardly been experienced by any nation in history"
Ruhland entitled the war as "source of income for the rich". more and more capital is gathered in the hands a fewer and fewer persons and as a consequence those super-rich will come into conflict and fight themselves. it is because of tremendous depts that nations are involved in conflicts
Graf von Moltke (1800-1891) commander of the prussian army said on behalf of the wars of that time:
the big wars of the new age have been started against the will of the gouvernments. the stock-marked has gained so much power, that it can call to arms on behalf of its goals."
