There is an incredible amount of truth in that video. Who can deny it? But the question most needing an answer about the problems between Russia and the US is…what is the most basic problem that keeps all of this dangerous brinksmanship in effect? A litany of blame, guilt and mutual disinformation campaigns has been excellently documented here and elsewhere, but if the reason empires MUST develop is because domestic economies cannot sustain themselves without grabbing wealth from outside of themselves due to a chronic systemic scarcity of individual incomes created to liquidate domestic production, and the Banking/Money system resists surrendering their monopoly on credit as well as the reasons they will extend it (loan and production only)….then isn’t it important to integrate Public Banking and Social Credit….so that we can actually have a complete solution to the problem???

Billions of innocent human beings and potential victims of this historically rhyming situation, including yourself and your immediate family, need a COMPLETE solution to this problem. I don’t want it on my conscience that I didn’t do WHATEVER needed to be done….to avoid that probability.

Bob Bowes:   I would not say this is better than nothing, since the same folks that control the private central banks also control the gold market.

Me:  Correct. Gold is a false solution. Money is not a commodity. A money system requires faith in its actual functionality. We don’t have that. The resultant mistrust and confusion is general as we see all around us. Faith/Confidence needs to be restored/created for the first time. The positive consequences of that….would be tremendously increased prosperity and an almost inestimably valuable rise in the general emotional tone of the society.

Poster:  Steve nails it in pointing out that it is the monopoly on credit that is integral to the ideals of Public Banking.
How ironic that those that monopolize credit as credibility are the least creditable.

Me:  Yes, despite their dominating monopoly the Banks are still dependent upon us to create the wealth and value that actually makes their product money/credit…of any value. And as the flow of total individual incomes is never equal to the flow of total costs and so total prices, by cost accounting convention (i.e. all costs must go into price)…their steadfast refusal to allow a direct gift of money to the individual to become policy keeps this absurd and onerous system in place. And of course economist’s and politician’s lack of insight and imagination contributes to it as well.
