The Creature from Jekyll Island (8)

War

It was at that point in history that governments' wars began to heat up. They always had wars but they were relatively small things because wars are expensive and people won't pay more than 40% for everything including wars. But now that they had a way to tax higher than that, they could engage in every expensive wars. It's at that point in history that Europe plugged headlong into continuous war and big, very, very expensive wars. The people paid for them uncomplainingly through the process of inflation.

History of Central Banks in Europe

This partnership between the government and banks which we've been discussing was not new with the FRS. In fact, it was a concept that was created in Europe in the 16-th century. It was perfected with the formation of the Bank of England in 1694 and from that point forward all of the governments of Europe had used this Mandrake Mechanism. They didn't call it the Mandrake Mechanism, of course, they called it a "central bank," that's the technical phrase for this partnership.
From the Bank of England forward all the governments of Europe had central banks for a very good reason. The kings and prices of Europe had learned from hard experience that they could raise the taxes of their subjects only so high and then they had a revolt on their hands and they tends to lose their jobs (and heads). It appears that that natural level was about 40-43%; people will tolerate taxes up to about 40-43% and then they start digging in their heels and they just won't allow it to go any further. But with the central bank mechanism in place the lid was off. Now these governments could tax their people 50%, 60%, 70% and in some cases 80% of everything they produced and they did not have a revolt on their hands. They did not have resentment because the people didn't know that they were paying a tax. They knew that prices were going up, but they didn't understand why, they didn't know who was getting their lost purchasing power.

The Creature from Jekyll Island (6)

This inflation (this lost purchasing power) is a tax that goes from us to the government and to the banking cartel

This lost purchasing power which is going from us to them is a tax. We don't think of it as a tax but it is. We have no escape from it. In fact, it's more a tax than the income tax or the excise tax which you can escape in one way or another. You can't escape this one. There are no deductions, no exemptions, everyone pays it and it is most cruel, unfair tax of all because it falls most heavily on those who can least afford to pay it. It falls on those on fixed incomes, those who are retired. Anyone who has saved their money is paying this tax in direct proportion to the degree to which they have been frugal. It's a tax even though we don't think of it as that and it's time to think of it as that. It's a tax that goes from us to the government and to the banking cartel.

What we can buy with a one ounce gold coin

To illustrate that point, it's interesting to know that if we had lived in ancient Rome with a one ounce gold coin we would've been able to buy a very fine toga, a hand-crafted belt and a pair of sandals--that was the price in Rome. Today, if we have a one ounce gold coin what can we buy with it? We can go into any men's store and buy a very fine suit, a hand-crafted belt and a pair of shoes. The price of these items hasn't changed in thousands of years when expressed in terms of real money but when expressed in terms of these things we carry around in our pockets called the Federal Reserve noted which is not really money at all, fiat money, anyway, the prices keep going up and up and up because the value of those units keeps going down and down and down because they keep making more and more and more of them and dumping them into the economic soup.

The Creature from Jekyll Island (4)

In reality prices are not rising at all

This newly created money goes out into the economy and it dilutes down the value of the dollars that were already out there. It's like pouring water into a pot of soup, it dilutes the soup. So by throwing more and more money into the economic soup out there the money gets weaker and weaker and weaker and we have the phenomenon called inflation which is appearance of rising prices. I emphasis the word "appearance" because in reality prices are not rising at all.

Benefit to the banking side of this partnership

But what about the banking side? This is where it really gets interesting. Let's go back to that billion dollar check. For the sake of our analysis, let's just follow $100 out of that billion in a check that for some reason they write to the fellow that delivers the mail to our door. The postal worker gets a check for $100. He deposits it now into his personal checking account. A $100 deposit has now been made in the local bank and the banker sees that and runs over to the loan window and opens it up and says "attention, everybody, we have money to loan, someone just deposited $100." Everyone is overjoyed and they line up for these loans. The banker says we can loan up to $900 based on that $100 deposit. How can that be done? The FRS requires that the banks hold no less that 10% of their deposits in reserve.

Only $100 deposit but $900 in loans and that deposit is still there. Where did the $900 come from and the answer is the same -- there was no money. This springs into existence precisely at the point at which the loan is made. Notice the difference, an important distinction is when the money is created out of nothing for the government it is spent by the government. On the banking side, however, when it's created out of nothing it's not spent by banks it is loaned by banks to you and to me and we spend it. Notice that when they loan it to us we have to pay them interest on it. Think about this for a minute. This money was created out of nothing and yet they collect interest on nothing. I wish I had a magic checkbook like that where I could just write checks all day long and didn't have to have any money any place just checks, loan it to you folks and you're silly enough to pay me interest on it. That's how it works.

Benefit to the government side of this partnership

Plenty of money is loaned to the government but never enough. Congress needs more money that that. They go to the Federal Reserve building. They get inside the building and the officer of the Fed is opening his desk drawer. He pulls out his checkbook and he writes a check to the US Treasury for one billion dollars or whatever the amount is that they need.

We need to stop here for a minute and ask a question. Where did they get a billion dollars to give to the Treasury? Who put that money into the account at the FRS? The amazing answer is there is no money in the account at the FRS. In fact, there isn't even an account, there is only a checkbook. That's all. That billion dollars springs into being at precisely the instant the officer signs that check and that is called "monetizing the debt," that's the phrase they throw at you. That means they just wrote a check, a big rubber check. If you and I were to do that we would go to jail but they can do it because Congress wants them to do it. In fact, this is the payoff, this is the benefit to the government side of this partnership, this is how the government gets its instant access to any amount of money at any time without having to go to the taxpayer directly and justify it or ask for it. Otherwise, they would have to go the the taxpayer and say we're going to raise your taxes another $3,000 this year and of course if they did that, they would be voted out of office real fast.

-A Second Look at the Federal Reserve-
G. Edward Griffin

Conclusion

I came to the conclusion that the Federal Reserve needed to be abolished for the following seven reasons.

1.The Federal Reserve is incapable of accomplishing its stated objectives.
2.It is a cartel operating against the public interest.
3.It's the supreme instrument of usury.
4.It generates our most unfair tax.
5.It encourages war.
6.It destablilizes the economy.
7. It is an instrument of totalitarianism.

Indeed, the Federal Reserve System was created in 1910, at Jekyll Island, Georgia, by seven men: Senator Nelson Aldrich, Abraham Andrew, Frank Vanderlip, Henry Davison, Charles Norton, Benjamin Strong, and Paul Warburg. They were represented approximately 1/4 of the wealth of the entire world at that time. They formed a cartel of banks which was protected by law. This cartel went into partnership with the US government.

Math 197 - Discrete and Ultradiscrete Systems (AY08-09, 2nd Sem)

-from differential equations to difference equations, from difference equations to cellular automata-

Preface: It is said that the research of pure mathematics in modern times is mainly categorized into 3 fields: "Algebra", "Geometry" and "Analysis". "Algebra" and "Geometry" have carved out a long history, whereas not until the 17th century did a newcomer "Analysis" appear in the world of mathematics. Afterwards it took quite a long time for "Analysis" to make mature relationships with senior members: "Algebra" and "Geometry".

"Algebra" and "Geometry" have dealt in the finite; on the other hand "Analysis" has dealt in the infinite (the limit). Here is another field, "Discrete Mathematics" which flourished in the latter half of the 20th century. It deals in finite but incredibly big number. For example, when we consider the traveling salesman problem: given the number of cities and the costs of traveling from any city to any other city, what is the least-cost round-trip route that visits each city exactly once and then returns to the starting city?, even if the number of cities n is finite and small enough, the number of all round-trip routes (n-1)!/2 can be finite but incredibly big number. Computers make it possible to deal in this finite but incredibly big number.

Now, upon the 21st century, "Discrete Mathematics" ( "Mathematics with Computer" ) is in the process of becoming the 4th biggest field of mathematics, which is as big as "Algebra", "Geometry" and "Analysis". The latest newcomer "Discrete Mathematics" to modern mathematics is now in the process of making mature relationships with senior members: "Algebra", "Geometry" and "Analysis", just as "Analysis" followed before.

The relationship between "Analysis" and "Computer" is already well-known. But it does not mean the birth of a really new field of mathematics. It means that "Mathematics with Computer" is nothing but a complement to old mathematics-"Analysis", as long as we use computer as a tool of finding approximate solution of the (system of) differential equations.

Now what I am saying is that both "Analysis" and "Discrete Mathematics" are connecting mutually through a non-analytical limit named the 'ultradiscrete limit'. In this course, we introduce how to translate models described by differential equations and difference equations into models described by cellular automata, conversely, how to translate models described by cellular automata into models described by differential equations and difference equations.
Then we seek for the similarities between these continuous models and discrete models.
