You've probably heard people talking
negatively about something called “Capitalism,” but there's nothing wrong
with Capitalism. “Capitalism” simply means that if a man works, he ought to
be entitled to purchase land for his own. It becomes his land, so he can do
with it, as he pleases. He can grow crops or not. He may raise cattle or
not. He can do anything that he wants with it, because it is his land.
On the other hand, Communism seeks to abolish ownership of private property, because with land ownership comes landowner rights. Land ownership gives you power over your land. It gives you prestige in the community. But Communism seeks to do away with private property ownership, so that the government can huddle people like savage cattle into the big cities. Government housing projects are always the worst places to live (survive is a better word). Projects effectively eliminate the traditional America family. When people don't own a home, they don't care about it or take care of it like an owner would diligently do. This is why black projects in the big cities like Chicago, which reside in poverty-stricken areas, that are gang and drug infested, are poorly maintained by residents.
If I had my way, I'd ban large cities in America. The largest city couldn't be any larger than 100,000 citizens. I would strongly enforce that number, with no exceptions. It would eliminate half of America's problems overnight. Long traffic rides to and from work would be gone. And if I needed to, I'd limit the biggest cities down to 50,000 citizens. A small city is a functional city, a happy city and the homeless are cared for. I could write a very big book, about the problems caused by building big cities. The commonsense answer is to think the herd!
In Capitalism a man gets to keep what he honestly earns. This is Biblical. Our text verse from Ecclesiastes contains the wisdom of Solomon. Solomon said that it's good for a man to work hard, and then to be able to enjoy the rewards of his labour. But what we have here in the United States today is economic banking fraud. The Federal Reserve Banking System since 1913 is a big fraud, a cruel hoax perpetrated upon all American citizens!!! If a man desires to buy a home, he must become a slave to the banks, entering into a 30 to 40 years mortgage agreement. A $350,000 home will cost the average American an additional $500,000 in tax interest to pay for the home, over the next 40 years. THAT'S INSANE!!! This is criminal, highway, robbery!!! Capitalism didn't do this to Americans... the criminal Wall Street banks did, the Federal Reserve Banks did, and our own treasonous government did... They did all this evil, worse than death, to every American citizen.
This is why I get all bent out of shape, when I discover that President Donald Trump is filling the “SWAMP” in Washington DC (you know... the “SWAMP” that Mr. Trump promised “drain” once elected). Trump has already broken numerous campaign promises. He promised to have Hillary Clinton arrested for her growing list of crimes and allegedly crimes. Sadly, once elected, President Trump changed his mind and admitted that his rhetoric toward Hillary was all just a big show, for the benefit of the public, just to get elected. Trump said he isn't going to prosecute Hillary. A liar is a liar!!! Trump has already made himself a liar.
Much worse than Trump abandoning his prosecution of Hillary, is Trump's decision to fill Washington's “SWAMP” with two-headed creatures from the Goldman Sachs septic tank on Wall Street, overflowing with bottom-dweller creatures of all type!!!
In Communism, the government forces the “haves” to support the “have-nots” (i.e., wealth is transferred from the rich to the poor through social handout programs). Communism never works in the long run, because it is dishonest, unbiblical and discourages personal ambition). Socialism is the road to Communism. Democracy is not freedom; but rather, is majority rule (which overrides individual liberty).
Film Maker Michael Moore did an excellent job making a 2009 documentary called, CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY (bless his soul). If you care about people at all, you'll get angry watching the film, as you see greedy and dishonest Wall Street banksters trick people through predatory lending schemes, and then send thugs to evict them onto the street from their homes. In many cases people were evicted out of homes and property that were generationally had belonged to the family. The banks are masters of financial deception, whereas the average American like me knows very little, and nothing of all the regulations that can hurt you, costing you everything you've ever worked for.
, and then have the police throw those victims out onto the street helpless to defend themselves against the powers of the government
Capitalism cannot work in a rigged financial system like in the United States, where we have a funny money system (fiat money) based upon fraud. The fractional-reserve banking system (aka, federal reserve) is fraud, plain and simple. The federal reserve is privately owned, which in itself is a total violation of the U.S. Constitution, giving the private banks control over our entire nation. President Woodrow Wilson was a traitor to his own country and an evil man who sold his soul to the banking cartel for pleasures and wealth. Shame on Wilson!
The following is an excellent explanation of how Capitalism has been thwarted by the criminal federal reserve banksters, who print money out of thin air and lend it to Americans at interest. Thus, American citizens were doomed to be debtor slaves from the very beginning of the treasonous Federal Reserve Act of 1913...
Capitalism must be corrected
By Alain PiloteThe social doctrine of the Church stands above existing economic systems, since it confines itself to the level of principles. An economic system is good only to the extent that it applies the principles of justice taught by the Church. As Pope John Paul II wrote in 1987, in his encyclical letter Sollicitudo Rei Socialis: "The tension between East and West is an opposition... between two concepts of the development of individuals and peoples, both concepts being imperfect and in need of radical correction... This is one of the reasons why the Church’s social doctrine adopts a critical attitude towards both liberal capitalism and Marxist collectivism."
We may understand why the Church condemns Communism or Marxist collectivism which as Pope Pius XI wrote, is "intrinsically evil" and anti-Christian with its avowed goal being the complete destruction of private property, family and religion. Why would the Church condemn capitalism?
In the second chapter of his encyclical Centesium Annus, John Paul II recalls the different events that have taken place in the world since Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum up to the present day, including the two world wars and the establishment of Communism in Eastern Europe. He indicates how Leo XIII was right to denounce socialism which far from solving the social question, would turn out to be a huge failure causing millions of innocent victims to suffer:Leo XIII
"Pope Leo foresaw the negative consequences — political, social and economic — of the social order proposed by ‘socialism’… One must emphasize here the clarity in recognizing the evil of a solution which, by appearing to reverse the positions of the poor and the rich, was in reality detrimental to the very people whom it was meant to help. The remedy would prove worse than the sickness. By defining the nature of the socialism of his day as the suppression of private property, Leo XIII arrived at the crux of the problem."
John Paul II said that the fundamental error of socialism is atheism because when a person denies the existence of God, of a superior being who created man, one also denies the existence of all moral law. The dignity and rights of the human person are destroyed, which leads to dictatorships where the State decides what is good for the individual. This also leads to social disorder and anarchy, where each individual makes up his own conception of good and evil.
Even if Marxism has collapsed, this does not mean the triumph of capitalism. Even after the fall of Communism there are still millions of poor people and situations of injustice in the world:
"The Marxist solution has failed, but the realities of marginalization and exploitation remain in the world, especially the Third World, as does the reality of human alienation, especially in the more advanced countries. Against these phenomena the Church strongly raises her voice. Vast multitudes are still living in conditions of great material and moral poverty. The collapse of the Communist system in so many countries certainly removes an obstacle to facing these problems in an appropriate and realistic way, but it is not enough to bring about their solution. Indeed, there is a risk that a radical capitalistic ideology could spread which refuses even to consider these problems, in the a priori belief that any attempt to solve them is doomed to failure, and which blindly entrusts their solution to the free development of market forces." (Centesimus Annus, 42.)
In this encyclical letter, John Paul II recognizes the merits of free enterprise, private initiative and profit: "It would appear that, on the level of individual nations and of international relations, the free market is the most efficient instrument for utilizing resources and effectively responding to needs. But this is true only for those needs which are ‘solvent’, insofar as they are endowed with purchasing power, and for those resources which are ‘marketable’, insofar as they are capable of obtaining a satisfactory price. But there are many human needs which find no place on the market. It is a strict duty of justice and truth not to allow fundamental human needs to remain unsatisfied, and not to allow those burdened by such needs to perish." (n. 34.)
The fault that the Church finds with present capitalism is then neither private property nor free enterprise. Far from wishing the disappearance of private property the Church rather wishes its widespread availability so that all may become real owners of capital and be real "capitalists":
John XXIII
"The dignity of the human person necessarily requires the right of using external goods in order to live according to the right norm of nature. And to this right corresponds a most serious obligation, which requires that, so far as possible, there be given to all an opportunity of possessing private property... Therefore, it is necessary to modify economic and social life so that the way is made easier for widespread private possession of such things as durable goods, homes, gardens, tools requisite for artisan enterprises and family-type farms, investments in enterprises of medium or large size." (Pope John XXIII, encyclical letter Mater et Magistra, May 15, 1961, nn. 114-115.)
Social Credit with its dividend to every individual would acknowledge every human being as a capitalist, a co-heir of the natural resources and progress, some of which are human inventions and technology.
Capitalism has been vitiated by the financial system
The fault that the Church finds with the capitalist system is the fact that each and every human being living on the planet does not have access to a minimum of material goods. So they are not allowed to have a decent life and even in the most advanced countries there are thousands of people who do not eat their fill. It is the principle of the destination of human goods that is not fulfilled: there is plenty of production, it is the distribution that is defective.
And in the present system the instrument that makes possible the distribution of goods and services, the symbol that allows people to get products, is money. It is therefore the money system, the financial system that is at fault in capitalism.
Pope Pius XI wrote in Quadragesimo Anno in 1931: "Capitalism itself is not to be condemned. And surely it is not vicious of its very nature, but it has been vitiated."
What the Church condemns is not capitalism as a producing system, but, according to the words of Pope Paul VI, "the calamitous system that accompanies it," which is the financial system:
Paul VI
"This unchecked liberalism led to dictatorship rightly denounced by Pope Pius XI as producing `the international imperialism of money’. One cannot condemn such abuses too strongly, because — let us again recall solemnly — the economy should be at the service of man. But if it is true that a type of capitalism has been the source of excessive suffering, injustices and fratricidal conflicts whose effects still persist, it would be wrong to attribute to industrialization itself evils that belong to the calamitous system that accompanied it. On the contrary, one must recognize in all justice the irreplaceable contribution made by the organization and the growth of industry to the task of development." (Paul VI, Encyclical Letter Populorum Progressio, on the development of peoples, March 26, 1967, n. 26.)
The defect of the system: money is created by the banks as a debt
It is the financial system that does not accomplish its purpose; it has been diverted from its end that is to makes the goods meet the needs. Money should be nothing but an instrument of distribution and a symbol that gives a claim, in other words a simple accounting system.
Money should be a servant, but the bankers in appropriating the control over its creation, have made it an instrument of domination. Since people cannot live without money everyone must, and this includes governments, corporations, and individuals; must submit to the conditions imposed upon them by the bankers to obtain money. Money means having the right to live in today’s society. This establishes a real dictatorship over economic life, and so the bankers have become the masters of our lives.Pope Pius XI was quite right when he said in Quadragesimo Anno:
Pius XI
"This power becomes particularly irresistible when exercised by those who, because they hold and control money, are able also to govern credit and determine its allotment, for that reason supplying, so to speak, the lifeblood to the entire economic body, and grasping, as it were, in their hands the very soul of production, so that no one dare breathe against their will." (n. 106.)
There is no way any country can get out of debt in the present system, since all money is created as a debt: all the money that exists comes into circulation only when it is lent by the banks with interest. And when the loan is paid back to the bank, this money being withdrawn from circulation, it ceases to exist. In other words new money is created every time banks make a loan and this same money is destroyed every time loans are paid back.
The fundamental flaw in this system is that when banks create new money in the form of loans, they ask the borrowers to pay back more money than what was created. The banks create the principal, but not the interest. And since it is impossible to pay back money that does not exist, debts must pile up, or you must borrow also the amount to pay the interest. This does not solve your problem because you fall even deeper into debt.
This creation of money as debt by the international bankers is the means of imposing their will upon individuals and of controlling the world:
"Among the actions and attitudes opposed to the will of God, the good of neighbour and the ‘structures’ created by them, two are very typical: on the one hand, the all-consuming desire for profit, and on the other, the thirst for power, with the intention of imposing one’s will upon others." (John Paul II, encyclical letter Sollicitudo rei socialis, n. 37.)
Since money is an instrument that is basically social, the Social Credit doctrine proposes that money be issued by society and not by private bankers for their own profit. Pope Pius XI stated in Quadragesimo Anno:
"There are certain categories of goods for which one can maintain with reason that they must be reserved to the community when they come to confer such an economic power that it cannot, without danger to the common good, be left to the care of private individuals."
The effect of compound interest
Institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank pretend to help countries in financial difficulties with their loans, but because of the interest charges (compound interest) they have to pay them back and so these countries end up even poorer than they were before the loans were made. Here are some striking examples: During the time period of 1980-1990 Latin American countries paid $418 billion in interest on original loans of $80 billion... and they still owed the capital even though they paid it back more than five times!
In Canada things are even worse: 93% of the national debt of $562 billion (in 2003) was made up of interest charges: the original capital borrowed ($39 billion) represents only 7% of the debt. The remaining $523 billion covers what it cost to borrow that $39 billion!
According to the Jubilee 2000 Coalition for every dollar flowing as aid to poor countries each year $8 are sent back in debt payments. It is examples of debt systems like these that brought Saint Leo to write: "The avarice that claims to do its neighbour a good turn while it deceives him is unjust and insolent... He who, among the other rules of a pious conduct, will not have lent his money at usury, will enjoy eternal rest... whereas he who gets richer to the detriment of others deserves, in return, eternal damnation." Saint John Chrysostom also wrote: "Nothing is more shameful nor cruel than usury."
Debts must be cancelled
Any sensible person will realize that it is criminal to require nations to continue to pay interest on debts that have already been paid several times. We can see now why the Church condemns usury and calls for the cancellation of debts. When you understand that the money lent by banks is literally created out of nothing, with a simple stroke of the pen (or entering digits in computers), then it is easy to understand that debts can be cancelled without anyone being penalized.
On December 27, 1986, the Pontifical Justice and Peace Commission issued a document entitled An Ethical Approach to the International Debt Question. Here are some excerpts to help emphasize our point:
"Debtor countries, in fact, find themselves caught in a vicious circle. In order to pay back their debts, they are obliged to transfer ever greater amounts of money outside the country. These are resources which should have been available for internal purposes and investment and therefore for their own development.
"Debt servicing cannot be met at the price of the asphyxiation of a country’s economy, and no government can morally demand of its people privations incompatible with human dignity... With the Gospel as the source of inspiration, other types of action could also be contemplated such as granting extensions, partial or even total remission of debts... In certain cases, the creditor States could convert the loans into grants.
"The Church restates the priority to be granted to people and their needs, above and beyond the constraints and financial mechanisms often advanced as the only imperatives."
Pope John Paul II wrote in his encyclical letter Centesimus Annus (n. 35): "The principle that debts must be paid is certainly just. (Note from the "Michael" Journal: to pay the capital is just, but not to pay the interest.) It is not right to demand or expect payment when the effect would be the imposition of political choices leading to hunger and despair for entire peoples. It cannot be expected that the debts which have been contracted should be paid at the price of unbearable sacrifices. In such cases it is necessary to find — as in fact is partly happening — ways to lighten, defer, or even cancel the debt, compatible with the fundamental right of peoples to subsistence and progress."
In preparation for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000 Pope John Paul II mentioned on several occasions the need to cancel all debts. Here are excerpts from his weekly audience of Nov. 3, 1999:
"In the jubilee years of Old Testament times, people recovered family property lost through payment of debt, and those who had lost their freedom through debt, were freed. This was because the land belonged to God, who gave it to the whole community to use for its own benefit. The jubilee reminds us of the demands of the common good and of the fact that the world’s resources are meant for everyone. It is thus an appropriate time to give thought to reducing substantially, if not canceling outright, the international debt which seriously threatens the future of many nations."
Once debts are written off the only way to stop debts building up again and allow nations to make a fresh start is for each nation to create its own debt-free and interest-free money, and stop borrowing at interest from commercial banks and international institution such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. If you leave to private bankers the power to create money, the debts will build up again. This reminds us of the words of Sir Josiah Stamp, former head of the Bank of England:
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin... Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and, with a flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again... Take this great power away from them, and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in... But, if you want to continue to be the slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit."
For those who do not understand how banks create money, the only way a debt can be cancelled is to have someone pay it back. But when those who understand the principles of Social Credit and the mechanisms of the banking system say "cancel" the debt, we actually mean it: erase it! We do not ask anyone to pay it and we certainly do not ask the Government to "print money" to pay the debt. What we propose is that the Government stop borrowing at interest immediately. It is perfectly able to create money on its own, interest free. This is the only solution that goes to the root of the problem and solves it once and for all and it would finally put money at the service of the human person.SOURCE: Lesson 9: Social Credit and the Social Doctrine of the Church (Part I)
I am not Catholic in the least. In fact, Roman Catholicism is a false religion, the biggest cult in the world. Albeit, the preceding quotes from previous popes is astoundingly accurate, indicting the international banking cartel. Read some of these quotes again, carefully, for this is exactly what is wrong with America's economy today in 2013...
Money should be a servant, but the bankers in appropriating the control over its creation, have made it an instrument of domination. Since people cannot live without money everyone must, and this includes governments, corporations, and individuals; must submit to the conditions imposed upon them by the bankers to obtain money. Money means having the right to live in today’s society. This establishes a real dictatorship over economic life, and so the bankers have become the masters of our lives.
Did you understand that? Money should be our SERVANT! But the evil bankers have made money our MASTER! Due to the fraudulent debt system in America, you can't even buy a house without going into debt for a 30-year mortgage. Now they even have 40-year mortgages. That's crazy! That's how greedy the banksters have become!!! God hates greed, which is a horrible sin. One of the Ten Commandments is not to covet. Covetousness is the root sin behind greed, which is the motive behind lending out money at interest (which the Bible calls “usury” in Proverbs). The Bible considers making profit by charging interest “UNJUST GAIN.” Proverbs 28:8, “He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.”
"This power becomes particularly irresistible when exercised by those who, because they hold and control money, are able also to govern credit and determine its allotment, for that reason supplying, so to speak, the lifeblood to the entire economic body, and grasping, as it were, in their hands the very soul of production, so that no one dare breathe against their will." (n. 106.)
As you just read, he who controls a nation's money controls the nation.
Read the following quote, which testifies to the truth that Americans will ALWAYS be in massive debt under the present dishonest, crooked and fraudulent economic system of banking fraud...
There is no way any country can get out of debt in the present system, since all money is created as a debt: all the money that exists comes into circulation only when it is lent by the banks with interest. And when the loan is paid back to the bank, this money being withdrawn from circulation, it ceases to exist. In other words new money is created every time banks make a loan and this same money is destroyed every time loans are paid back.
The fundamental flaw in this system is that when banks create new money in the form of loans, they ask the borrowers to pay back more money than what was created. The banks create the principal, but not the interest. And since it is impossible to pay back money that does not exist, debts must pile up, or you must borrow also the amount to pay the interest. This does not solve your problem because you fall even deeper into debt.
From the preceding information is becomes quite obvious why American are going deeper-and-deeper into tens-of-trillions of dollars in national debt. This was the grand plan from the very beginning. American has been destroyed by design. Our founding fathers vaguely understood what the future held, but they knew that America was a cleverly devised Masonic plot to achieve world government, aka, a New World Order. George Washington was a Freemason. The Washington monument began construction (erection) in 1848 and was completed 36 years later in 1884. It has the same exact ratio as king Nebuchadnezzar's golden image in Daniel 3:1 (that is, a 10-to-1 ratio).
Through massive banking fraud, America has been
pimped out to global interest that have absolutely nothing to do with U.S.
liberty, freedom or sovereignty. Our youth are exploited as paid mercenaries
to fight wars started by the international banking cartel. Wall Street
financed Hitler's WWII war machine. What a shocking tragedy! American
corporations sold weapons and ammunition to Hitler's war machine to murder
American soldiers!!! Our own money was used against us to murder our own
sons! If you're not angry, you're not paying attention! Read Antony Sutton's
