Saving America and the World
The source of our rather immodest aim springs from simple truth, as do many powerful things:
Man is more than a hairless ape that can be conditioned to accept anything the zookeepers want.
Spirit and Science are connected, as Sir John Templeton aimed to prove with his fortune and foundation.
Ethics and Politics are one, as Aristotle wrote in his Nichomachean Ethics, named for his son, who may have edited it for future generations.
At the end of the day, destiny, moral character, politics and virtue all are founded on the pursuit of happiness, eudaimonia, the good life.
Thus we find it instructive and prophetic to consider how and where we went awry in our Pursuit of Happiness with Washington and Wall Street.
We once enjoyed the fruits of the strongest economy in the world. We earned our unique responsibilities as Superpower in so far as we were just. But politics as usual have challenged that.
For politics are not ultimately the source of authority, money and power, as King Solomon showed three thousand years ago: Wisdom is.
Our Constitution and Mint Act of 1792 defined legal tender as only gold, silver (and copper). We allowed our elected representatives controlled by the central bankers to destroy our currency by slowly converting it from real money backed with intrinsic value and reserves, to fiat electron credits backed by little or nothing at all, decreed by central bankers at will and defended by their servant politician apologists.
Since before 1913, with the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Bank and Income Taxes, a hidden coterie stealthily redefined sound banking as fractional reserve leverage operations, financed by 20% taxes from Joseph and Pharaoh’s Egypt when government owned everything and everyone.
The truth is actual compounded taxes, red tape and currency devaluations robbed the standard of living despite the money illusion.
