5 Steps To Economic Freedom

Posted on March 17, 2010 by Jay Greathouse

The first is the repeal of the Federal Reserve act of 1913. We must have a sound monetary system based on law. Unfortunately many Americans still do not understand that the Federal Reserve System is a private central bank. We do not even know all of the owners of the Fed.
The second step is the repeal of the Sixteenth Amendment, ratified in 1913, and the subsequent Revenue Act of 1913 allowing Congress to levy an income tax.
The third step is to have a good tariff law. That means when foreign goods come across our borders they must carry our labor rate. This will help bring jobs (production) back to the U.S. Free trade is not fair trade. When we accept cheap foreign goods we in effect lower our labor rate below our standard of living.
The fourth step is to secure our borders and our ports of entry.
The fifth major step is to correctly value production by insisting that the production of our raw [...] Continue Reading…

5 Relationships Of Raw Materials To Money

Posted on February 21, 2010 by Jay Greathouse

Everything we use from this planet to live …

… comes in the form of Raw Materials.
Those who harvest nature’s bounty to provide Raw Materials for human society need to be able to do so without acquiring debt . Otherwise, if providing Raw Materials cost more than it paid, it would not be sustainable and providing Raw Materials becomes impossible.

Those who provide Raw Materials must be able to afford all the finished goods and services they require from the sale of the Raw Materials they produce. Otherwise, they could not continue to provide Raw Materials and survive.
(I know I repeated myself in the above 2 paragraphs. It is an essential point and I did not want it to be missed.)
The Price Level of Raw Materials determines
the amount of Free Currency in circulation.
Free Currency is Debt Free Money.
We’ve had Debt Free Money in the past, Free Currency, once upon a time in the United States of America.

Those who provide the finished goods and services to Raw [...] Continue Reading…

First 4 Steps To An Online Business

Posted on January 16, 2010 by Jay Greathouse

Recently, a woman expressed a concern to me that she had “nothing going” and needed to rely on another person. She felt insecure to the extent she was dependent and asked me what I thought she could do.

The resources for a brick and mortar business just were not available and she knew enough about the online world to think she could get “something going” online. Undecided about specific niches in her broad general areas of interest, she “got going” by creating an online persona.
Her first 4 Steps were:

Purchase a domain name and blog hosting and set up an email address for the persona
Use the persona email address to obtain a Google user-name and password for the persona
Use the Google account to create a YouTube account for the persona
Create a Twitter account for the persona

This seems like the essential groundwork required to begin vblogging or video blogging. The technical requirements appear minimal, especially regarding media production with the technology getting simpler every year.

Producing a stream [...] Continue Reading…

Run Faster Than The Slowest Camper

Posted on December 31, 2009 by Jay Greathouse

The bear is out of the woods and the bull is running for cover. Forget about out running the bear, that is never going to happen. I will tell you why in a second.

All you really need to do is run faster than the slowest camper.
96 years ago, December 23, Woodrow Wilson used four gold pens to sign the Federal Reserve Act into law. This act is arguably the most destructive and harmful law enacted by a United States President up to that time.

The Federal Reserve Act allowed the inflationary bubbles that created the snowball of debt that currently engulfs us today. Nothing is at all mysterious about inflation;
inflation is government intervention pure and simple.

This proves the lie of the myth that regulators actually regulate rather than serve the interests of corporate beneficiaries. Debasing money is an old trick of governments going back at least as far as Biblical times.
15And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, [...] Continue Reading…

No More Pretending

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Jay Greathouse

Delusional hope produces nothing of value. Throughout my life I have sought to see things as they are. The past few months have provided me the opportunity to ponder current events against the tapestry of history.
“We have destroyed the Holocene biosphere, and it can never be rebuilt. We have inadvertently terraformed Earth into a different planet. This act cannot be undone; it is thermodynamically irreversible.” Desdemona
I leave it to climate change deniers to explain the recent wholesale collapse of fisheries with the increase in both reef and oceanic dead zones, the desertification of the world’s most productive land and the rapid transition from forest to desert by mega-fires.

The once frozen “methane bomb” has already gone off. The Arctic permafrost is already melting.

Large areas of Earth are becoming uninhabitable to mammals and their food plants. Most charismatic megafauna, such as elephants, rhinos and whales, will become extinct in a few decades. It is entirely likely that humans will follow them into oblivion.

For sure, this will [...] Continue Reading…
