The fed is a Ponzi? How about being honest?
The entire market,wall street,and the feds are all Ponzi scams leading into one huge scam,the world market...And because we believe we suffer and die for that belief the Ponzi has us in it's trance..The movers and shakers of the money system are just a few assholes.There are many many,more of us a world full of(non-rich) people who have been financially abused by the over-wealthy to varying degrees,and many are just outright abused too.Because abuse,torture,domination,unwarranted obligation are things we are conditioned to accept.We learn in school to obey to believe a grade means something,and to accept punishment by these arbitrary standards.WE are broken inside after twelve years of social engineered conditioning,(school) until we are tamed to accept and even love the subservient roles and careers these marketplace manipulators foist upon us from day one and repeatedly tell us are so damn important to OUR well being,( for the rich and their life-style's well being, more accurately) and because we fuse who we are into what we do day after day in our minds it gradually becomes fused with the identity,and when most people act as if there is only one way to live,and this way of life none of us want but instead endure it implies deep down we are like bad children.And we cannot survive without a 'authority figure' reigning us in,that we NEED to be led by ruthless assholes and when we suffer or fall into hardship and cannot pay the already rich,more,we must tolerate being hassled and hounded by endless red tape or outright harassment and threats especially if it is certain kinds of debt like paying off the usury rates designed to keep us bound that are attached to the use of a credit card....Our human rights have been disregarded for centuries!As has human rights have been violated all over this world by certain kinds of soulless but insatiable characters(ruthless people)

These Assholes who manipulate us all will do it in any way they can get away with it.They use a velvet glove,mind fucking, social engineering or by force.Anything to hold onto the "economic dream".

Never should the means of survival like food,water,shelter,health care,etc. be withheld from anyone because of lack of decorated pieces of paper (money) Money is the blood of the Ponzi,the heart of the biggest lie ever bought..a lie invented to control people to extract their labor,and get away with many horrendous things. Money only means access to food etc. if you BELIEVE it has the power to buy these things.Hence the term and the 'index' called consumer CONfidence!!

(I for one have NO confidence in the value of money.)(But food is valuable,efforts are valuable,shelter is,so is heat,health care etc.all of that is valuable and it does not have to COST.) Money is and has always been a tool of oppression by the rich and the engineered scarcity of money allows the violation of human rights to continue on and on..Just STOP believing in the myth called money,and start SHARING your excess,there is enough if shared by enough people to survive here, and maybe even enough resources if it is taken from the few and given to the many, the means of production put in service of humanity instead of profit,and wealth redistributed we all can live well enough and have the time to live our lives and get to know each other again.Every person that loses faith in money can learn to live another way if that person can find others are walking away from the greatest scam ever sold the chances of freedom from financial abuse and violations of human rights looks ever more possible. Bottom line is we need each other,

Not wasting our time pointlessly enriching the rich,by feeding an endless Ponzi scam which profits the rich only,our labor and time, is OURS. It is sad work for many is just to fill up the days of our lives with bullshit that keeps us bound to an ancient and fear ridden but clever and brutal lie.

The box is full of salmon, and a man sits atop the box. Long ago this man hired armed guards to keep anyone from eating his fish. The many people who sit next to the empty river starve to death. But they do not die of starvation. They die of a belief. Everyone believes that the man atop the box owns the fish. The soldiers believe it, and they will kill to protect the illusion. The others believe it enough that they are willing to starve. But the truth is that there is a box, there is an emptied river, there is a man sitting atop the box, there are guns, and there are starving people.

Capitalism is Organized Narcissism

We live in a society organized around private property, the right of private individuals and corporations to own the resources we all need in order to live. These resources, belonging to a small proportion of the top one percent of the population, include the natural products of the planet, what grows in the soil, the oceans and the forests, as well as all the products of human culture and history -- the techniques and knowledge and art we have created over the centuries. Even the techniques of nature encoded in the genes of plants and animals and the human body are now being swept up into the vaults of private corporations to be exploited to their financial benefit.

A society of private property is a society of deprivation. What is owned by a few is denied to the many. Obviously private property has to be defended by laws and their enforcement, that is, a state as the sole legitimate agent of violence. "No trespassing" signs are meaningless without an armed guard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since that first attack on horseback to slaughter and control others the world has never been free and it is not free now. We believe we are free, but we are not and never were. Our ignorance of everything real and factual keeps us believing something that simply is not true. We are more tightly controlled than ever and that control is becoming ever more brutal. Our choices are dwindling and the system itself is becoming impenetrable, making itself our eternal master. The system seeks only to protect and perpetuate itself, it is not interested in freedom or justice and if you simply break any of their rules, even the most unjust of them you'll quickly find that out. Freedom will not come until the corporate/state monopoly of control and the artifice of righteous violence in the name of good is understood and finally rejected. That is what is meant by "Knowledge is Power". Our knowledge of the truth is what will reduce the corrupt controllers to irrelevance, powerlessness and shame.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I mean Corporations are wonderful things, but only if you own one. The corporate structure helps you to harness the work of a large number of people for your own power and profit. That's always been their purpose, and it’s all they were designed to do, no matter what corporate "culture" they push or what image they pay an agency to craft. So if any of this proves useful in helping you avoid the wage-slave trap, then I've done my job. As the saying goes, “I thought I wanted a career, but as it turns out I just wanted paychecks.”

Curiously -- or maybe not -- all the old ideologies are conservative because they believe in work. Some of them, like Marxism and most brands of anarchism, believe in work all the more fiercely because they believe in so little else.

3. It is not a single man but several people sitting on the box
Edited on Sun Jul-26-09 12:48 PM by truedelphi
And some are Dems, and some are Repugs. And we are taught to believe that as long as we get the Dems in power, all will be well.

Then once we do get the Dems in power, we see that on the higher level most with "D's" behind their name are in collusion with Monsanto, and its GMO seed so expensive that the farmers in India commit suicide when they realize the dotted line they signed enslaved them to Corporate polices that are so crippling to their pocketbook that they cannot survive.

Then we see that Barack Obama, whose wife was once on Larry King (could it have been less than a year ago?) saying she will never forget what it was like to grow up inside a middle incomed family that struggled from paycheck to paycheck.

Michelle, when will you suggest to your husband that his friendship with his "good buddy" Tim Geithner will be your husband's ruin, as well as the ruin of the very middle inocmed you pledged yourself to never forget.

5. The ones on the box
regardless of having a "D" or an "R" by their name, it is nothing it means nothing,really. Who do they think they ARE refusing to help,refusing to share ANYTHING,who are these thieves? And even more important when did we actually consent to being robbed by them? We were not handed a contract,in a way we could comprehend it,and refuse it,no we got it drilled into us,by parents, ads,society, church, school etc..etc.
We were told what we were supposed to DO, and what we are supposed to WANT ,as if we were incapable of asking ourselves what do we WANT and what do we want to do with our own lives? We had a false choice we never had a chance to stop and think, what kind of culture would suit me best,what sorts of boundaries do I need to be healthy,What sorts of people nurture me.Bottom line is we had no options really, all along we had a pre-set number of 'possibilities' open to us that were for the most part based in what economic CLASS you are in. The empty "choices" these"assholes on a box" want us to have are not a choice at all. They want us to think we must depend on a corrupted system to survive. Life has been co-opted made into an engineered "choice" that on first glance looks like a freely made choice.But it isn't a choice at all because it really is a subtle cultured yet powerful COERCION acting upon us all almost like a mad trance.Once you step out of the trance this culture never again becomes as simple as it was before you leaped beyond it's grasp.Once you see we are surrounded by coercion it is very hard to ignore it again.
