I've always said I'll never instill hopelessness in my writings. So why is monetary reform not a hopeless cause? Because the truth is powerful. The problem is the power of truth is subtle because it has to go a long, long way -- like forever.
There is lots of good news in this question, but in the media, as we all know, there is no money in good news. So the negative aspects of this most basic political struggle are always exaggerated and the positive aspects rarely discussed.
What is important for us to understand is that "they" -- the purveyors of the debt money system -- are not a monolith. They don't control it all. We can affect the outcome; we do affect the outcome. We just don't realize it because our power is subtle and diffuse, and theirs is blunt and concentrated. Ours is long lasting, theirs is by definition, difficult to maintain.
The people who "make" this money out of nothing and then charge us interest on it are really like so many school children fighting over who controls the cookies. In other words, they fight amongst themselves. Money is essentially infinite for them; political power is not.
This interesting fact, coupled with humanity's proclivity to seek freedom and independence from the time they leave their mothers womb, is the only crack in the door between us and slavery. In short, the bad guys fight amongst themselves squabbling over power and so they can't seal the deal. That, combined with people wanting to be free is why their international centralized government has never succeeded. The League of Nations, and the United Nations, have essentially failed at consolidating power internationally, and now the European Union teeters on failure.
Our lesson is that power should be de-consolidated to the greatest extent practical at every level of governance if the goal is to maximize human freedom and minimize human serfdom. Don't worry, governments don't tend to fail because they drift towards gathering too little power.
So this is a very positive, hopeful circumstance. "They" have all the money, most of the political power, and these evil cabals working to enslave the rest of us through money -- through debt. Why haven't they succeeded?
This is really astounding when you consider the level of ignorance of the basic facts of money and debt -- the prime method of their control. Look at your friends and family. How many of them believe as you do? It's horrible! But we just go right on, believing as we do because we know this is the truth and once you have sat on the truth, nothing else will do. It's the same with any other field of study, there is a leading edge and once you have ridden it, nothing else will do.
It might seem like our forces are puny, underfunded, and unorganized, but there is absolute truth, and it seems to go a long, long way. The truth is subtle, but powerful.
If you believe in Biblical prophecy -- and I certainly do -- you know that ultimately, "big brother" will succeed -- pretty much -- but only for a very short time -- and he can't change the truth. The power of lies is fleeting; the truth endures. But just as we have responsibilities as parents, we have responsibilities as humans to stand for the truth and be the "Watchman on the wall" for our fellow humans. This watchman concept is that if you know the truth and fail to report it accurately, you become an accessory to the lie.
So let's all stand on that wall. Report the truth. We talk amongst ourselves at a forum called the "Reforum"(http://z6.invisionfree.com/Bill_Still_Reforum/index.php?) because two sets of eyes watching are better than one. There is a lot of deliberate mis-direction. We have to help each other. No one knows it all - and everyone knows something.
Standing for the truth is no more a hopeless cause than avoiding pain in our day-to-day lives. Avoiding pain feels better than not. Dealing in the truth feels better than not. Doing the right thing feels better. Selfless service feels better. So if you have ever been a parent or otherwise have collected once ounce of selfless service in your soul -- and everyone here has -- than you are driven to stand with the cause of human freedom and know that standing for the truth has its own rewards -- subtle but powerful and enduring rewards that can be experienced in no other way. Rewards that allow you to expect miracles.
