Real World Solutions To Economic Tyranny

By Giordano Bruno

Neithercorp Press – 09/16/2010

It’s inevitable. Every person who endeavors to understand the nature of economy, central banking, fiat currency, Globalism, and elitism in our culture,every man who is truly honest with himself, comes to the same logicalconclusion; the system we toil in, the system we tolerate out of habit day today, is not only failing, it is designed to fail. Knowing this fact is difficult. Thepotential consequences of the situation tend to bleed into every moment of our once conventional routine. We realize that there is no going back to theold apathetic ways of viewing our world; once awake we cannot again sleep,

and because we have the truth in hand, truth which affects every livinghuman being, we are also by default made responsible for the future. We areno longer spectators caught in the swift tides of history, but participants inhistory’s making. We become the levy builders and breakers. We contributeto the flow of events, as well as their outcome.

This insight then begs a change in our way of life, and leads to a singlearduous question:

Now that we know there is a problem, what are we going to do about it?

http://neithercorp.us/npress/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/libertybell1.jpg



While knowing the truth is a tremendous step for any person, it brings littlecomfort without a sense of direction. People need a defined course of action,a methodology, a way of contributing to the solution. The problem is that toomany people sit and wait for the solution to present itself, or wait for others totake the lead, instead of going out and finding their own answers. I have often

received responses to my past articles that sound like this:

“Ok, so we know the economy is on the verge of collapse and that thegovernment is corrupt. When are YOU going to tell us what we can do aboutit? What are YOU going to do about it? When are WE going to rally together and force the elites out of power?”

These are the wrong questions. What they should be asking THEMSELVESis;

“What am I going to do about it? When am I going to decide to take actionsthat further the betterment of our future? When am I going to stop waiting for others to tell me what to do?”

People want times, dates, clubs, protests, official representation, politicalparties, slogans, sign-up sheets and bake sales, and most of all, they want aplan, a prefabricated plan clearly delineating the future of the movement. Inthe Liberty Movement, however, there is no such thing as a strategy set instone, nor should there be. The primary reason being, the Liberty Movement

thrives on individual action, not collectivist action.

We would all love to have the remedy to our many ills packaged and bottledand sold to us like so much aspirin. This is not going to happen and I hopepeople stop holding their breath. In our situation, the only solutions that comeeasy are those that benefit the establishment, and not us. In fact, globalistpeddlers today are lining up in droves to offer you their “leadership”, and aneasy way out. Some people buy in, simply because they’ve never beenforced to think for themselves, and they can’t fathom starting now, especiallywhen it comes to something as seemingly complex and overarching aseconomics.

I have no easy solutions to offer here. I have no magic tricks or cure-alls. All Ihave is the ability to clearly present the hard choices available to us. All Ihave is a manner of thinking that could stop globalism in its tracks, but theway this philosophy is enacted is up to each and every American individual,and not up to me. Effective real world solutions start with a powerful rootprinciple. This is mine:

Provide for yourself and for others those human necessities the oppressivesystem cannot or will not. Through this, you make the system obsolete.

2



Eventually, the system will either have to come after you, or be forced toconform to you. In either case, you benefit.

Now, let’s examine how this principle works (especially in terms of economics), how it can be implemented, as well as those strategies that do

more harm than good…

“Solutions” That Solve Nothing

Before we look at more effective measures in fighting against economic andpolitical manipulation, it is probably a good idea to make ourselves aware of those solutions being presented to the public that will not work, or are meantto mislead. There are too many variations to cover in a single article, so I willattempt to list what I believe are the foremost prominent scams, shams, andboondoggles, below.

Incentives: Government incentives are a wash. Their only purpose is toprolong the inevitable by propping up certain sectors of the economy withmore debt we cannot afford. Look at how the housing market tanked evenfurther after the government ended its homebuyer tax credit plan. Look at thecar tax credit and “cash for clunkers”. It was completely ineffective inrevitalizing auto sales to sustainable levels. Government incentive programsfail. Period.

Centralization: Centralization is a philosophy that draws on our tendency todefer our personal responsibilities to others. It is the exact opposite of theprinciple I described above. More centralization is the source of our currenteconomic problems, not the solution. By condensing the power of financialregulation and control into the hands of a minority of unaccountable men, likethe private Federal Reserve, we relinquish our right to participate in thedecision making process, and we reduce the value of the individual in our society overall.

Many people look for leadership, regardless how corrupt, just to avoid thedreadful proposition of having to shape their own destinies. In a new Americafree from globalism, this neurotic aversion to self-determination must end,and the average person must start taking on more responsibility for himself and his surroundings, not less. Even now, the IMF and World Bank along withfinancial elites here in the U.S. are suggesting world financial regulation andworld government as a way to divert the carnage brought about by faultypolicies those same organizations designed! The only way this nightmare willbe implemented successfully is if you, the everyday American, continue tofear taking charge of your own life. Bigger government has never solved any

of our social problems, it has only made them more pronounced. Why wouldanyone believe the concept of Global Government is any better?

3



One World Currency : There is still a host of naysayers in the mainstreamfinancial world that deny there is any plan whatsoever for a one worldcurrency. Just to be clear; the IMF has OPENLY admitted that its goal is theimplementation of the SDR (Special Drawing Rights) as a world reservecurrency to replace the Dollar in international trade, and to eventually surpass

all currencies as the new “global currency”. You can read these admissions inthe IMF’s own press releases:

http://www.imf.org/external/np/speeches/2010/051110.htm

Other analysts admit that the IMF has plans on the drawing board for a globalcurrency, but claim such a move would never be instituted by the U.S.government. In fact, the U.S. has some of the highest SDR allocations of anycountry in its reserves. And now, even the U.S. Post Office is listing the SDRin its priority mail exchange rate tables:

http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/immc3_007.htm

Now, if the U.S. dollar is the world reserve currency, and is supposedly goingto be the world reserve currency for years to come as mainstream analystssuggest, then why on Earth would our Treasury feel the need to allocate anySDR’s at all, and why would our own Postal Service use an SDR exchangerate table? Why is the SDR being treated as a viable currency today whenskeptics claim that the SDR is not a currency at all? If the dollar is as strong

as the establishment suggests, why are they obviously preparing for the riseof the SDR?

There are also those who suggest that a collapse in the Dollar would onlydamage the SDR because the SDR’s value is built on a “basket” of currencieswhich includes the dollar, making the implementation of the SDR as a globalcurrency impossible These people don’t seem to understand how currencymarkets work, let alone how the IMF works.

In currency markets, buying power is generally shifted or dispersed, and notnecessarily destroyed. As the U.S. dollar falls, other currencies gain ground.A good example is the Japanese Yen and its recent rise to a 15 year highagainst the Greenback (the Japanese are now attempting to intervene in theYen). The Chinese Yuan, not yet included in the SDR basket, is set for ameteoric increase in value, especially if China decides to dump their U.S.Treasury reserves, a move that would likely buy them a spot at the SDRtable.

A fall in the Dollar changes nothing in the SDR, it only leaves a hole that other

countries will gladly fill with their own currencies.

4







Also, the SDR is not predicated on any hard fast rules. Many analysts todaydon’t comprehend this. Frankly, the SDR is whatever the IMF says it is! In theearly 1970’s, the IMF used the SDR as a security representing a set amountof gold. In fact, the SDR used to be called “paper gold”. Then, they changed itto a basket of world currencies. Tomorrow, it could be something completely

different. This is what happens when you give unelected central bankersunmitigated control over a financial instrument. They do whatever they pleasewith it regardless of normal economic traditions or “codes of honor”. Anyarguments that don’t take this fact into account are not even worthconsidering.

To be clear, global currency is being set up for implementation NOW, not tenyears from now, or twenty, but now. Any acceptance of a global currency bythe masses will result in complete economic centralization. The FederalReserve is currently unaccountable, but they are still subject to legal auditand dissolution if the American people organize enough resistance and exertenough pressure to make it happen. A global currency is likely to leave noavenue for the people to question its viability or change its foundation. TheIMF is outside the jurisdiction of any country or society, making it utterlyimmune to litigation, and regulation, and more prone to moral hazard. Tohand over that much streamlined power to such a monstrosity in the “hope”that it will act in our best interests is pure insanity! Why not put CharlesManson in charge of a Cub Scout troop while we’re on a roll…

Digital Currency : About a month ago I was approached through email by aman representing an organization called ‘TGL’. He asked me if I would beinterested in participating in a project called “Green Light”, which at firstglance appears to be a sort of community service program centered not inlocal communities, but digital communities on the web. The goal, he said, wasessentially to meld web communities with local communities until they workedin tandem towards the same directive. This would be accomplished byintroducing a digital currency called “L”, which would create the incentivesnecessary to influence public participation. You can see a video commercial

for Green Light here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fGGKDb7qXY&feature=player_embedded

I was intrigued by the concept initially because of the method by which “L”was given value. Basically, “L” is backed not by commodities such as gold or silver, not by traditional debt like the Dollar, but by the potential labor of thoseinvolved in the program. What this means is, the value of their digital currencyrelies on the stock of talents and skills of the people who also use L topurchase other people’s talents and skills. It all sounds quite symbiotic andvery “green”, however, I have declined to participate, and here’s why…

5





While it is entirely possible that the designers of the concept have the bestintentions and truly hope to stop the economic collapse, the problem is thattheir “solution” relies upon the creation of a currency which is even lesstangible than paper fiat. Digital currency is perhaps the ultimate goal of central banks, because it diminishes all sense of fiscal discipline, not just from

banking, but from society at large. One only needs to look up the amount of credit card debt held by the average American to see that digital currencypromotes catastrophic financial bubbles. It also offers ultimate control over the finances of every citizen at the push of a button.

Next, the collectivist tone of the commercial and the program is obvious.While TGL is only a web based program for now, it was related to me that theend purpose was for Green Light to go global. Imagine an economy in whichit is a cultural taboo NOT to participate in the collective because to refrainactually damages the whole. To not participate in Green Light diminishes thevalue of “L”, and thus diminishes the strength of the digital economy. Today,we call people who refuse to participate in our labor pool “bums”, or “freeloaders”, but in an economy totally dependent on a labor backed digitalcurrency, freeloaders or peaceful non-conformists might be called “criminals”.The representative from TGL even compared Green Light to the world of ‘Star Trek’. Yikes…

Finally, the primary reason I will not participate in this program is because, asthe representative admitted openly to me, Green Light was funded in part by

the World Wildlife Fund. The WWF is a globalist organization supported bythe Rockefeller Foundation. CEO’s and former CEO’s of globalistcorporations like General Electric, Dupont, Coca Cola, and the FordFoundation sit on its board:

http://www.worldwildlife.org/who/board/

Why is an elitist front group like the WWF, a supposed environmentalconservation club, interested in funding digital currency projects? I suppose

even if I could ask them directly I would not expect an honest answer, whichleaves one only to speculate, using common sense, and the history of elitistinfluence on economy as a guide…

Anti-Industrial Retro-Egalitarian Theosophic Humanist Technocratic Fruity Tootie: As you can see, this is a catch all category for those people who areno longer grounded in reality, designing solutions that are so far outside of what is actually applicable they become a distraction from true progress. For some reason, certain people believe that in order to solve our globalistdilemma we need to reinvent the wheel. Sovereignty must go. Religion must

go. Capitalism must go. Industry must go. The concept of currency must go.80% of the world’s population must go. In some cases even the pursuit of

6





new technologies must go. According to this crowd, humanity really had itgreat back when we were all dirt farmers and “one with nature”. I hate tobreak it to them, but society without innovation is a nightmare. They shouldjust take a trip to the undeveloped parts of Africa and live in a starving villagefor a few years to see if it’s as romantic as they envision.

Invariably, these people see themselves as “misunderstood geniuses”, andblame the rest of humanity for our economic troubles, instead of the eliteswho engineered the whole process of collapse and centralization. Whenchallenged, they act as though you are simply too stupid to grasp the majestyof their ideas.

Industry can never be erased. Human curiosity is too powerful a force to beheld back. Currency is a product of intricate economy. If you exist solely in avillage with little outside trade, then barter alone is fine. However, as soon asyou begin expanding trade beyond the borders of your town square, you aregoing to need a better mechanism than barter. Currency as a concept is notthe demon creation of elitists; it is the logical common sense extension of growing trade. “Currency” is not the problem, elitist controlled currency is theproblem. Remove minority control by elites from the picture, and you will seetrue free markets in action. I do find it interesting though that technocrats andanti-humanists always attempt to divert the blame away from the men makingthe decisions that negatively affect our culture and towards “concepts” as theculprit. As if money itself is the source of evil, rather than those individuals or

groups who misuse money for destructive purposes.

Again, this is all a distraction from the real world solutions available to uswithout wiping the slate entirely clean.

Real Solutions For Regular Americans

The basic premise of my solution to globalism is one of non-participation. As Italked about above, we must provide for ourselves and for others thosehuman necessities the corrupt system cannot or will not. This means, if thesystem denies us meaningful community, we must build a meaningfulcommunity for ourselves. If the system denies us a stable currency, then wemust start using our own. If the system denies us the truth and honest newsproviders, then we must establish and support our own information networks.The system, especially if it is a globalist collectivist one, requires that themasses rely on it. It requires that people NEED the system in order to survive.If people no longer rely on the system for their survival, the system becomesuseless, and fades away. This can be done on an individual basis, andrequires no traditional and structured organization. Let’s look at possible

methods for applying this idea.

7



Alternative News: This solution is already in action and is a perfect exampleof the effectiveness of non-participation in the system. Right now, the ratingsand viewership of mass media sources is crumbling, especially in terms of economic news. Alternative web news traffic is exploding. By providing thetruth (a human necessity) we in the alternative media offered what the system

would not. In response, millions of people have started to turn away from thesystem run media to get what they require. It’s very simple. We did not needto organize mass protests, riots, or guerilla takeovers of newsrooms. We didnot need billions of dollars to buy a television network. We did not need to“get on the inside”, as some people humorously suggest, and try to leak thetruth in tiny tidbits so that the corporate oligarchs wouldn’t notice. All weneeded to do to take down the MSM was to make readily available thatinformation which they kept hidden.

By providing alternative sources of information and by pointing out elitistactivities while they are still in initial stages, we can also preempt their plans.By pointing out what they are doing while they are doing it, the globalists areforced to decide whether to continue their action to its end point and riskbeing exposed further to the public, or to stop before finishing and lay another plan to rest in the dustbin. Either way, we win.

This method can be applied to many more areas besides media…

Stop Participating In Banks: If you are a business owner with a lot of capital

influx, this solution may be more difficult to follow. But, if you are a regular working stiff like me, this can be done easily. I have not had a bank accountin four years and I have organized my expenses better than I did when I hadaccounts. While some banks may not be knowingly participating in theproblem, all banks are under the purview of the Federal Reserve, which ISknowingly part of the problem. Banks create and loan money out of thin air,then charge people interest for the money that cost them nothing to make. Byclosing your bank accounts, you at least remove your part in the illusion thatbanks operate on reserves at all, as well as diminish their ability to abuse the

capital you are providing them. Not to mention, you stop paying bank fees,you stop relying on debit cards and checks which saves you money, and, youprotect yourself from a bank holiday. As we have covered on manyoccasions, the FDIC is broke, and when it finally goes under, there will be arun on banks. Better to have your money out now than be one of those in thefrantic crowd begging the bank to open its doors so you can buy groceries.

As far as securing your money, unless you have millions, it’s clear-cut; justmake a hiding place and stow it without telling anyone where it is. If you’reworried about your house burning down and your savings along with it, get afireproof safe. The more people close their accounts, the less influence thebanks have over our capital. It also exposes the fact that banks actually have

8



little physical cash to back the accounts they list as holdings. If enoughpeople do this, the false banking system itself could implode, which soundsdisastrous, however, the fact remains that we cannot replace the corruptsystem with an honest system until the corrupt system is removed.

Stop Participating In The Dollar : The dollar is done. Currently, Houselawmakers are discussing trade sanctions against China for currencymanipulation, and Japan has just intervened in its own currency this week:

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-09-15/japan-intervenes-for-first-time-since-2004-as-yen-surge-threatens-recovery.html

This intervention was apparently unilateral, meaning it will not be supportedby the U.S. and Europe (as we predicted in our last article). Where is thisheaded? I have no doubt we will see trade wars and currency wars between

the West and Asia relatively soon:

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE68D12320100914

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/opinion/currency-wars-set-to-break-out/story-e6frg9qo-1225919825846

The U.S. Government may put on a happy face initially for Japan, and theymay not immediately go after China, but it will happen eventually, especially

as the U.S. economy continues to degrade. The government will have to offer a scapegoat, and China is likely to be it, along with Japan if they continueintervention. This will result in a Treasury bond dump by China, which theyhave been blatantly preparing for the past three years. The dollar willcollapse, guaranteed.

How can you make a difference in such a massive problem? Place your savings in commodities like gold and silver.

If we are to end the tyranny of fiat, we have to have an alternative currency.

Right now, precious metals are the best option. Gold has recently sprintedpast previous records and is now holding around $1270 an ounce. This is justthe beginning. I would not be surprised to see gold at around $1350 to $1400by this winter. As the dollar continues to degrade, and as inflation becomes areality, the best way to protect your savings will be through PM’s.

Skeptics will argue that gold is inherently “valueless”. I always respond byasking them how much more “value” they think their paper dollars have.Everyone wants to attack gold, but conversely, no one wants to actually

compare the benefits of gold to fiat. I also usually refer people who parrotMSM talking points on gold to the early writings of Alan Greenspan, before he

9














was sucked into the maniacal carnival death cult otherwise known as theFederal Reserve:

http://www.usagold.com/gildedopinion/greenspan.html

I have heard the argument that because we are facing a deflationarycollapse, gold is a bad investment. First off, we are NOT in a traditionaldeflationary collapse. If you want to see one, go to Japan, where prices areactually deflating. Here in the U.S. prices on goods and commodities arerising, in some cases 25% or more over the past year:

http://www.crbtrader.com/crbindex/data.asp

Some who see rising prices claim that this is still deflation, and that prices arerising due to manipulation. I think it much more likely, as has been proven

with gold and silver, that prices are being manipulated DOWN in most cases,not up. In fact, many retailers will absorb wholesale price increases on goodsjust to keep shelf prices stable in the hopes of maintaining their customer base. And yet, prices have still increased despite this manipulation since thecrisis began. This is inflation. Analysts need to stop clinging to the typical ideaof deflation and inflation and look at the situation as it is. While someelements of the economy are deflating, like housing, this does not mean thathousing is any longer a good indicator of deflation in the rest of the economy.What we are seeing are elements of both inflation and deflation at the same

time (and no, they don’t cancel each other out). Gold has held its own and willhold its own exactly because currencies around the world are being devaluedand even greater inflation is a very real possibility.

Eventually, once the dollar and the global bankers are out of the picture, agold backed currency could be implemented much like the currency we usedrather successfully up until 1913 when the Federal Reserve was establishedand we slowly lost control over our money.

Buying gold and silver though is only a start…

Start An Alternative Economy : Individuals can put this into action by buildingbarter and trade networks in their communities. Skills, labor, and goods canbe traded by neighbors without government influence or interference intransactions. This can also be expanded to the web, and some people withingenuity have done just that, including the ‘We Trade Network’, which youcan view here (Special thanks to Catherine Austin Fitts for posting this to her website, Solari.com):

http://www.wetradenetwork.com/what.php

10










The barter network keeps wealth in communities and out of the corporateapparatus. It also allows us to be less affected by any economic collapse thatdoes occur in the globalist system, because we will have already constructedour own system outside of its sphere of influence. Barter and trade alone arenot enough though, and to be truly effective as an alternative community, we

need industry.

Start A Micro-Industry : There are many savvy business people in the LibertyMovement; those that could establish a gold and silver based currencynetwork, and those that have the means to create not titanic corporations, butat least micro-industries within their own communities. This starts with astandardization of payment.

If Liberty Movement business leaders began accepting gold and silver aspayment for goods and services instead of requiring customers to exchangetheir PM’s for dollars before hand, this would go a long way towards buildingan alternative economy. If Liberty Movement Business leaders then startedgiving their employees the option of being paid in gold and silver instead of dollars, it would make an even bigger impression. Given the fact that theLiberty Movement is growing exponentially every year, and the fact that thedollar is likely to degrade heavily soon, this is also good business sense. Itwould only take a few influential men to initiate this process.

Those who wish to start a business in their communities and have sufficient

space can organize local garden trade, solar power grids, furniture making,tool making, even small electronics outfits or telephone companies. The pointis to separate oneself from the diseased system and start a healthy one, onecommunity at a time. This is not difficult. It only requires that people stopthinking about taking action, and actually take action.

Support Constitutional Candidates: Vote for true Constitutionalists andproponents of limited government. Run for office yourself! Even if the deck isstacked against us in this regard, we should still try. Promote 10th

Amendment rights of states, and your local sheriff (as long as he’s a goodguy). Anything non-Federal should be pushed to the forefront of discussion.This is, in a way, another form on non-participation, because we are creatinga political dynamic outside the system that is still influential on the system.Again, if the establishment will not provide honest candidates, or honestparties, we must provide our own.

Become Self Reliant : Supporting liberty based candidates is certainly worthdoing, but it is not nearly as important as making yourself independent. Youdo not need large organizations with designated leaders and extensivefunding to help you find meaning, or to further the cause of truth. That issomething that can and should be pursued first and foremost by you alone.

11



Organization comes later. It grows upon the works and deeds of individualsinvested in a common idea. Freedom is a powerful common idea.

Something as unassuming as a personal garden can lead to a strong senseof self reliance, and there is no rule that says you have to start big. You just

have to start somewhere.

Revolution?

The beauty of Non-Participation is that it is a revolutionary act that onlymakes us less threatening in the eyes of the uninformed, which is not whatthe establishment wants. I have already seen several MSM articles describingTea Party candidates as “insurgents” (terrorists):

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870419070457549026348205

0010.html

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/14/september-14-primary-elec_n_715694.html

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-09-14/tea-party-backed-insurgent-pushes-for-upset-in-delaware-primary.html

This kind of propaganda is a natural outgrowth of the system’s inability to

cope with the idea that the people are no longer reliant upon it. By separatingourselves from the system, we diminish it, make it weak. In the case of theMSM, the alternative media has in some ways forced the system to let moretruth filter down to the public just to keep people watching their garbage. Weare gradually forcing them to conform to the truth. Unfortunately, I suspectthis will not be the case in other fields.

Another option open to the establishment is the use of violence. This will bethe likely reaction to the Liberty Movement’s efforts in politics and economy.Yet again, we benefit. Through non-participation, we force the elites to attack

us, or to implement laws so outrageous as to be interpreted as an attack onthe public. The people are already being victimized by the establishment, butif we as a movement or as individuals were to turn towards violence as aninitial solution, we would be seen as the “bad guys”. This would only help theelites. We also do not want a French or Communist style revolution withangry mobs and guillotines that results in greater tyranny. What we want is anAmerican Revolution. The Founding Fathers didn’t cross the ocean to go andlynch mob the British, they forced the British to make a choice; to leave theAmerican independent states alone, or to come after them. By declaring

themselves separate and thus no longer reliant on the British elites, Americanrevolutionaries became defenders, not aggressors or terrorists.

12

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704190704575490263482050010.html















By creating an economic alternative to the current system, we force the elitesto make a choice. We become the defenders, and the establishment isrevealed as the aggressor it really is. If we are attacked, then any violence wedo reciprocate would be in self-defense, which is not only an understandablesurvival instinct but also a perfectly honorable response. This is the way to

expand public support for liberty based concepts. This is the way to bringdown despots.

In the end, it is up to you. Will you walk away from this article and continuewaiting for the Liberty Movement to move you, or will you take action andprogress the movement yourself? Will you make those first steps towardsending your reliance on a system that is designed to hurt you and your family,or will you sit still and wait for it to do so? Before you can force the elites tomake their choice, you must make your own. The longer you wait, the harder it will be. What you don’t want, is for a stranger to one day make the choicefor you…

Solutions to Economic Tyranny
