The will to change the way money works

For many years now, FTW has been saying clearly to people that until we change the way money works, we will remain perpetual victims at the hands of elites who have no incentive to change. In every lecture since 9/11, I have made it clear that until we "flip the model", no amount of regime change in the US will make the slightest bit of difference in the US.

As long as the world economy operates the way it does, based upon debt-financed growth, fractional reserve banking, $600 billion a year of drug money laundered through Wall Street, with equity and control held only at the very top, the results are easy to predict.

So says Michael Ruppert, and I believe it to be an accurate assessment of our situation.

Cuba [on the other hand] has achieved a degree of financial and economic flexibility unheard of in...the US. How? By transferring equity and control back to local communities and making the standard of living of the people the first priority. Forget labels that Cuba is a Communist country. What has been implemented there is one of the purest forms of capitalism ever conceived -- a form of capitalism that empowers people rather than weakens them. It is the form of capitalism by which our grandparents and great grandparents survived the Great Depression in the US. And it is a form of capitalism that has been systematically wiped out in the US through corporate fraud, pension fund raids, mergers, acquisitions and the race towards a doomed-to-fail globalization in the name of corporate profit.

Cuba, almost a living model of the economic reforms envisioned by former Assistant Housing Secretary Catherine Austin Fitts' Solari Model, teaches us some powerful lessons, and what has been accomplished there will give you hope for the future. It will also make it clear that no efforts to survive the effects of Peak Oil and Gas in the industrialized world will succeed until the people find the will to change the way that money works, and to take responsibility for how it works in their own neighborhood.

That is the only way to change the way power works in their government, or at large in a world of infinite war, infinite lies and infinite political dishonesty.

And I think we all realize this. But we are obedient citizens when it comes to Newton's First Law of Motion (and his Second Law of Thermodynamics).
