Investing Wisely


Because of my knowledge about how our current monetary system works I am often approached and questioned about how one should invest their money or life savings for the future. I always give the same common sense answers.


First get rid of all your debt. Pay off your credit cards, house, cars or any other debt you might hold. Second avoid any new debt. ( I know this is often easier said than done. )



Then look at the necessities of life. No I'm afraid that gold and silver do not qualify as necessities. They cannot be eaten, You cannot quench your thirst on them, and they will not grow anything. People are delude to believe they are going up in value but in truth they are a reflection of how worthless the FIAT currencies are becoming. The value behind Gold and Silver is purely conceptual and is not true wealth.



Ask yourself this. If the US defaults on it loans and the dollar collapses. Which would you rather have if commerce ceases to function, gold or food? Knowing grocery stores only have three days worth of food, which would you rather have? A few pounds of gold and silver or several months worth of stored food and garden seeds. To the hungry man and his family who has gold and silver but no food, ten pounds of beans would be of more value to him than all his gold or silver. This is the reality of perspective. This is how you judge thing for their true value.



Actual wealth is food, water, arable land, shelter and, your health, and education. These are the necessities of life. So my advice is to invest in these important resources. My advice is to also invest in these things with others. Sharing collectively will reduce resource consumption, conflicts, and will benefit all. Also sharing labor talents with your communities collective will strengthen human ties. This can greatly reduce chaos.



Before I get too far let me explain some of my reasoning behind these ideas. You need to have some knowledge about how our current monetary system is engineered to work. Please if you have not already watched Money As Debt, please do so now and them return to this post.



Okay you should now have a clearer understanding of how our current economic system works. Perhaps failing rather that works would be a more accurate adjective at this point in time. Still It is important the we clearly understand that all money is debt. That only the principle money is created, never the interest or the taxes that are also demanded in return. That means money is always in short supply and that new loans must always be sought. The other thing that must be remembered is that all the principle money that is paid back goes back into the oblivion it was magically created out of in the first place. The effect of this is constant demand for new loans and growing debt. For the money that banks create out of thin air the borrower must put up actual physical wealth such as land, home, or even a car, plus years of his or her labor. The bank puts up nothing because they never had the money to begin with. As we mentioned before the system is engineered that the money supply will always fall short. So it is built into the system that a percentage of borrowers will lose their actual physical property and labor to the current monetary system. Between collateral collection, interest payments, and taxes collected to pay off government and private debt the bankers in the end will end up owning everything. Our current monetary system is a slow but constant engineered system of formulated theft and slavery. It is purely a ponzi scheme. For this reason alone the current monetary system must be replaced. It truly is the root of all humanities problems.



The current monetary system promotes, egoism, greed, profiteering, hording, slavery, corruption, crime, conflict, prisons, wars, social stratification, inequality, extortion, dysfunctional governance, exploitation of humans, and resources, without concern for the future.



Solutions: All fiat currencies fail in a fractional reserve central banking system in the end. To protect your self from theses conceptual forms of wealth you must exercise your ability to understand what real wealth is. Real wealth is the resources needed to provide a healthy happy life on a egalitarian collective basis. This can only be accomplished through a sustainable lifestyle that works symbiotically with nature and those around you. This is the only way to create a perma-cultural peaceful, workable, cohesive society.



It will have to evolve in two steps. First will be new monetary systems that are engineered to promote altruism, equality, and a positive exchange of goods and services with no, taxation greed, or usury. These will be used at grass roots levels to keep communities running. Profit will have a new definition. Profit will only apply to what enhances society as a collective egalitarian sustainable benefit. Money in this system will never be in short supply.



The second stage will be to evolve to a money-less society for in the end money is purely a conceptual form of trade that really is unnecessary. The only real need is sustainable resources shared equally by all of society and humanity. This will do away with old concepts of exploitation, crime, debt, servitude, and greed. Why steal anything when it is openly available for your use at your local library or dispensary.





To achieve this level of cooperative living will require a paradigm shift in thinking. Education is of up most importance. Most Americans are walking around oblivious to the intentionally harmful, causes that effect their lives.
