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?
