OOBE, LD. :)
Why post Judy Garland over the rainbow and Ashley Tisdale with Mickey Mouse ears? Both of these things are linked to Monarch Programming as you already know. Do you want your readers to dissociate?
Very interesting. I've read Jung....never had anytime for Freud after his infamous remark to Jung on entering America: "We bring a Plague". The kikester scumbag sure did. And we are still paying for it to this day.
A note about tax in a system of publicly owned banks.
If there is too much money in the economy chasing too few goods the government will tax people to rein the back in some of the money to stop inflation. This doesn't mean that the government is taking your money away as such, it is just ensuring your money keeps it value by stopping inflation. This also keeps your savings safe too, so they will keep their value.
If the Left could catch on about how money is made and how it works in an economy the Right would be finished. A government could create debt free money to spend on public services, like high quality health care, high quality old age care, free universities which would be an investment into our country's future, publicly run trains and essential services like gas and electricity. The government, which means us, the people, will make the profits on the utilities instead, not the idle mega rich, aka the ruling class, aka the bankers, aka the one percent.
So we could have low cost public services as well as super low taxes too. The Conservatives would then be finished. The Conservatives would become the high tax party because they would be against public banks and would be trying to protect their buddies (and families) in the private banking sector. And the propaganda would be rife because the mega rich bankers, the ruling class, would fight very hard to keep their free money supply. They will use the whole media that they own and go on and on about the bogeyman of inflation to trick people.
Because government money made from public banks pays the wages of the public sector, the workers would then spend their money into the wider economy. This is great for private business and so the private sector prospers too. The government money then becomes part of the wages of people who work in the private sector and this gives them the money to pay off the interest on their loans. In this way society doesn't get loaded with excessive debt like it does now, so people retain their spending power and capitalism works so much better.
This mixture of private and public service is perfect for business, and the talented can peruse their wealth as they have always done, which will supply the superb products and services which we all enjoy. The schism between left and right would be over, and the fat cat ruling class would have to start working for a living instead of poncing off the rest of us.
If one were to accept the concept of "the devil" (which I don't), the Hebrews would qualify as some of his most dedicated acolytes.
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel."
-- Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1794)
Thomas Paine: Essay On Dream
Excerpt:
...how absurd it is to place reliance upon dreams, and how much more absurd to make them a foundation for religion; yet the belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, begotten by the Holy Ghost, a being never heard of before, stands on the foolish story of an old man's dream. "And behold the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not thou to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost." -- Matt. 1. 20.
After this we have the childish stories of three or four other dreams: about Joseph going into Egypt; about his coming back again; about this, and about that, and this story of dreams has thrown Europe into a dream for more than a thousand years. All the efforts that nature, reason, and conscience have made to awaken man from it, have been ascribed by priestcraft and superstition to the working of the devil...
