What we are watching price out through the political process is life vs. death. More specifically, the financial value of the life and death of various groups and ages of people vs. the life and death of large banks and corporations.

In a market economy, if a person’s skills become outdated, the theory is that they will be encouraged by their need to generate income to learn new skills or change.

If a large bank or corporation can no longer generate revenues to cover its operations, likewise the theory says that it will change. Management will invent new products and services, cut expenses, renegotiate with creditors through bankruptcy or shut down.

However, in a bubble, the people and the corporations and banks all avoid change by going to the government and coming up with thousands of ways to keep their operations afloat using government funds so they do not have to change– government programs, subsidies, contracts, credit, guarantees, regulations and so forth. This is why I start my case study on how the system really works with that old New Jersey street saying – “Make a law, make a business.”

Changing the laws, however, does not change the real world where fundamental productivity continues to count. So over the last twelve months, after many bubbles, there was not enough for everyone. So we made a decision to shift most, if not all, of our remaining resources to the large banks and corporations.

What this means is that if people do not need the products and services of the banks and corporations, rather than let them die, we are going to use government and central banks to simply take money from  people to keep a bank or corporation alive without customers or markets.

So the institutions created to serve markets are deemed to have lives of their own that justify subsidizing them even if the markets are gone. Government can guarantee markets even when customers have no money to buy goods and services and taxpayers can not afford to pay taxes.

Big banks and corporations are guaranteed life. In addition, there is no prison or death penalty for big banks and corporations as a result of their bad behavior, including when it causes the death of people. So their life is infinite.

To pay for this we must take resources from people — with taxes, with fees, with inflation, with lower benefits and with legal and economic warfare. If they do not go along, we can send them to prison or inflict the death penalty.

Hence, an overview of a series of policies is emerging from Wall Street and Washington which is crystal clear.

People will die so that corporations and banks without retail markets, customers or purpose can live richly, although not anywhere near as richly as the invisible forces that hide behind them.

  1. See the Pulitzer Prize winning book by Ernest Becker, a cultural anthropologist, entited “The Denial of Death”. There is a foundation that bears his name created to “illuminate how the unconscious denial of mortality profoundly influences human behavior, giving rise to acts of hate and violence as well as noble, altruistic striving”.

  2. Dave:

    I have had numerous experiences where I was absolutely convinced that I was going to be dead in anywhere from 1 second to 24 hours. I have had one experience during the physical harassment when my heart stopped and then about 5-10 seconds later started again miraculously. I also had an experience where I was very sick and there was a miraculous intervention. If I understand the description of an NDE, I am not sure any of them fit. Nothing where I left my body or this dimension.

    I think the thing that gives me perspective is that I have always been a fundamentally happy person. Using a Christian’s language, I have always felt close to God ever since I can remember and long before I heard, understood or used the word God.

    I tried mightily to work within the human systems around me. It never occurred to me that I had a choice to do otherwise. I was never a whistleblower. I was the target of a whistleblower. I was thrown out of the system.

    Finding myself thrown out of the system, I tried to figure a way through the situation. What I learned was that essentially, all beliefs, knowledge and action can either bring you closer to God, or separate you from God.

    The governance system on our planet is separate from God, and getting more so. Working within it can diminish the harm that it will do although many that try to work within it end up giving it more power because they don’t have a good map of the system. It is a defensive game.

    We also need an offensive game, one that will withdraw power from it. Such strategies must bring us closer to God and be based in divine principles, such as free will.

    A new way of governance should be based on transparency and love rather than force. That means the consensus process to develop a new vision is a slow, emergent one. As one person, what I can try to do is conduct myself in alignment with ways that work and try to be useful to those around me.

    One of the greatest obstacles to building consensus is the presence of a critical mass of people who understand the true nature and intention of the systems and therefore have the knowledge and maps they have to act in accordance with their values and interests.

    We did a survey the other day in my Solari Circle. The question is, if total wealth on planet earth was fully optimized and we were as wealthy as we could possibly be and that was 100%, where are we now? I said less than 1%.

    We don’t have an economic problem. We have a political problem. That is why transparency and a higher learning metabolism about what is really going on is so valuable.

  3. At the same time, I have no children and my parents are dead. I believe that many people feel very strong obligations to dependent parents and children. It is this sense of duty which causes them to avoid confronting the system.

    People still had children & elderly parents in the 1700’s. They were not afraid to act. The participants in the American Revolution had children & elderly parents. They were not afraid to act. In the 1700’s people were not afraid to act if they had children. They did not let an obligation to children stop them.

  4. I devoured Croft’s book in one sitting and though her view of the U. S. Government being in control of the weather is absolute and utter nonsense {she should read the bible more closely} her ideas about the banking system is quite astounding and though I am as well skeptical guess what? The words CANADIAN BANK NOTE appears on my birth certificate and in very, very small letters. I needed a magnifying glass to see it and it just blows my mind!!!! Now of course everything today is about interest there is no question about that and the creation of the credit card is one of the most evil of all inventions. It has handed over to the authorities just huge amount of control and wealth and ultimately will lead to the formation of the greatest of all welfare states. Please more comments on this.

  5. Here are excerpts from Croft’s article, much of which I’m skeptical.
    …the credit card banks think I owe them $40,000. I know that I don’t really owe them, I just don’t know how to prove it.” Lo and behold, she said, “You just send the letters.” … She then produced a series of letters, the drift of which was to request the bank to provide me with three things:
    1. validation of the debt (the actual accounting);
    2. verification of their claim against me (a sworn affidavit or even just a signed invoice); and,
    3. a copy of the contract binding both parties.
    – I was to write that I would be happy to pay any financial obligation I might lawfully owe as soon as I received these three documents.
    – The banks can’t validate the debt because they never sustained a loss; they can’t verify any claim against me because I am not the NAME they are billing – more on this later. They can’t produce a copy of the contract because one doesn’t exist. What exists is an unenforceable unilateral contract. What the banks refer to as ‘your contract with us’ is not a valid bilateral agreement since the four requirements of a lawful, binding contract were not met on the credit card ‘application’, namely:
    1. Full Disclosure (we are not told that we are creating the credit with our signature);
    2. Equal Consideration (they bring nothing to the table, hence they have nothing to lose);
    3. Lawful Terms and Conditions (they are based upon fraud); and
    4. Signatures of the Parties/ Meeting of the Minds (corporations can’t sign because they have no right, or mind, to contract as they are legal fictions). Credit cards are win/ win for the banks and lose/ lose for everyone else – it is the slickest con game on the planet.

    1865 – 13th Amendment – people could volunteer into slavery by accepting federal benefits.
    1868 – The 14th Amendment created a new class of citizen, the ‘person’ subject to the Federal Gov’t.
    1871 – the Federal Gov’t formed itself into a corporation – USA. I don’t know CANADA’s date of
    incorporation.
    1913 – the Federal Reserve Central Banks were created.
    1933 President Roosevelt put into effect the ‘Trading with the Enemies Act’. This applied only to Federal Citizens.
    1933 – President Roosevelt took the gold away from the people, who were not lawfully required to relinquish it, and who then had no money with which to pay their debts.
    March 9, 1933 – ownership (legal title) of all property is in the State; individual ‘ownership’ is only equitable (user) title. Use must be in accordance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State.
    1933 – President Roosevelt passed HJR 192 June 5, 1933 – since the government had taken the gold, and the people had no money, the government would pay the ‘debts’ for the people, thereby giving them unlimited credit. Whoever has the gold pays the bills. This legislation states that one cannot demand from you a certain form of currency, since any form and all forms of currency are your credit. If they do, they are in breach of Public Policy, PL 73-10. Not only does this insurance policy protect the legislators from conviction for fraud and treason but also it protects the people from damages cause by the Feds.
    1938 – Erie Railroad vs. Tompkins made contracts the rule in the courts. No other law prior to 1938 can be cited in cases.
    1946 – government and court system was lost through the Administrative Procedures Act.
    1965 – silver was removed as a means for paying debt, the Uniform Commercial Code became the
    supreme law of the land concerning the Banking System, the courts were pulled together in Admiralty/Administrative and Civil (contract /commercial /corporate) Law, thereby removing the ‘innocent’ plea, thereby reversing ‘innocent until proven guilty’ to ‘guilty until proven innocent’. Securities replaced substance as collateral for debts; debt instruments with collateral, and accommodation parties could be used instead of money. The courts could uphold the security instruments which depended upon commercial fictions as a basis for compelling payment or performance.
    1966 – The Federal Tax Lien Act: The entire taxing and monetary systems are hereby placed under the U.C.C. (Uniform Commercial Code)

  6. Hey Catherine, I find you to be one of my favorite Coast to Coast guests. Iknow my response to this blog is a bit literal, but you have the demeanor of someone who has NDE’d. It is something about your easy laugh combined with your courage to do what you do. I apologize if this is too personal for this forum. I have been curious about this for a couple years, wanting to ask you. I haven’t had the experience myself. I have had some pretty amazing experiences that help me appreciate those who have been to the other side. The World is a better place because you are in it, Dave Wilkinson

  7. Catherine, Hi

    I think, Richard is asking of you to kindly respond with less than 5 minutes of time and…Go here… http://www.dnb.com/us/ …go to menu on the right where it says find a company…in the blank enter various organizations you believed where of the PEOPLE…IRS, FBI, CIA, TREASURY DEPARTMENT, SUPREME COURT, PRESIDENT, US GOVERNMENT in the menus below enter united states and district of columbia respectively…Look at the information that defines these organizations as corporations and for some have stock traded or traded as…AND PLEASE come back here and post whether or not the interpretation that I have claimed is in fact correct and symbolic of reality or not…I believe Richard wants your confirmation because of your Guru status here and I believe, that he believes your word would strengthen his conviction to believe what I have said; even if it seems crazy and against everything WE have ever understood…

    Thank you

    P.S. For everyone who has read most of Catherine’s various posts on her site and looked over other alternative web sites promoting self sufficiency, alternate monetary/ exchange theories, energy revolutions, new leadership, just all of it…the whole premise is that you are the center, the alpha and omega, here and now…please ACT like it. It’s like the old saying “what would Jesus do…THEN DO IT” Do like Jesus…thrash the money changers (bankers and all their ilk) throw them from OUR temples (ourselves) take care of the poor by empowering them to fish so they and WE are not a burden…Really…the banks are going to go on vacation with all you green debt notes soon…it would be best to just remove them now and use them to buy tools…food (seeds)…stored fuel…future needs…solar power, if the grid gets turned off…invest your property (labor) intelligently…buy stock in a cow for future eating…dig up your back yard, cut overhanging limbs and pay neighborhood kids to dig it up and set in a garden…I live in a 1.5 million people city on a 1/4 acre lot…I have a large raised bed garden, have pear, peach and cherry trees I planted 4 years ago, a couple berry bushes, some chickens (delicious eggs) and am working on my bee hive…I think if I had one acre and could have a pig or two and a rooster for breading purposes, get a large enough green house, I would rarely need to go to the grocer!

  8. Ed and Richard:

    Not sure how to respond. I am staring at a list of 80 plus hours of work that I am committed to do this week. Not sure how I put it down and read and watch all of that and respond in detail.

    I will add it to the parking lot for a time when it is energizing to revisit these issues. My expectation is that I have been through all this material although in a different form.

    I very much appreciate your comments and support. Appreciate your patience…..

    Catherine

  9. “Everything you consider government or public or political is in the REALM of the law society and they all follow its dictates…the first use of the word is the one they follow…The second is for private use.”

    Let me just say that’s got be be one of the most interesting things that I have come across in quite some time Ed story! It really shows you just how important and essential an understanding of law is today and woe to those who don’t. It also reminds me of the KISS formula Keep It Simple and Strqightforward or as some would say Keep It Simple Stupid.
    It also reminds me so much of a business leader and academic who once told me that for the most part business today is largely done in a court of law. I want to go out and immediately buy Bouviers Law Dictionary for myself. Thank you.

    Jerry

  10. O.K. I don’t think I can explain it any better…Bouvier’s Law Dictionary

    Bureaucracy: The abuse of official influence in the affairs of government; corruption. This word has lately been adopted to signify that those persons who are employed in bureaus abuse their authority by intrigue to promote their own benefit, or that of friends, rather than the public good. The word is derived from the French.

    now for the one you believe in…from WIKI

    Bureaucracy: is the collective organizational structure, procedures, protocols and set of regulations in place to manage activity, usually in large organizations and government. As opposed to autocracy, it is represented by standardized procedure (rule-following) that dictates the execution of most or all processes within the body, formal division of powers, hierarchy, and relationships intended to anticipate needs and improve efficiency. In practice the interpretation and execution of policy can lead to informal influence.

    Everything you consider government or public or political is in the REALM of the law society and they all follow its dictates…the first use of the word is the one they follow…The second is for private use.

    P.S. I hope anyone who is really serious looked at my first post and at least followed the first clue and explored the dun and bradstreet site with key terms!

    II. P.S. I agree Richard, please Cathrine investigate and give us your take. Am I mistaken…is there an alternate interpretation…? Is it not a FACT that the formally known, The United
    States of America was bankrupt in 1933…So what does everybody think happened and what that means for our currently restructured US govt. and how does that influence you…Kinda like the Creature from Jekyll Island…? http://www.freedomforceinternational.org/

    III. P.S. Katherine the pope is correct if you 4research far and deep enough you’ll see the Vatican is a prime mover and pusher of that ‘Death Culture’…take the blue pill, if you don’t you will only believe the next lie…

    Just questions and as always communication from the DNA to the UNIVERSE…!!!!!

    Ed

  11. The Pope is correct when he says we are living in a “culture of death.” My question is with five major world religions claiming to believe in a Creator, who besides the Pope is speaking up for God, for life? Perhaps all of humanity needs to look into the mirror and realize our economic system and our government is merely a reflection of what the people have allowed it to become. We can save ourselves but we must have the courage to do so, and we must live morally as God would have us do. Rene-Paul is so on point about the entitlement mentality. It is so pervasive so many people think nothing of stealing from others for some selfish gain for themselves. The inevitable result is scarcity and doom for all. I so appreciate this forum because I draw some comfort in knowing others see the truth and can intelligently articulate it.

  12. “At the same time, I have no children and my parents are dead. I believe that many people feel very strong obligations to dependent parents and children. It is this sense of duty which causes them to avoid confronting the system” Yes Catherine you are right. I too have no children, I take care of my elderly parents. They are from the depression era and are still in it. Socialist to the core and have the entitlement mentality that it is their turn to be taken care of courtesy of the current working class just as they took care someone in their tax paying past. I DO confront the system and have all my life since returning from Vietnam in 1975. I am an enigma according to my parents and brothers and sister yet I feed, clean and house my parents and TRY to get them to understand; to no avail! They say I am stupid for not joining the system. My Dear Catherine, You have been an inspiraton to me and Please Never let the b*s*a*d*s grind you down. Ever! We must survive to help dismantle the system. Stay Strong.

  13. Catherine, can you please investigate and comment on Ed Story’s comment?
    I think it’s really important!

    I hope you can get someone knowledgeable in the “freeman” concept on your Solari report?

    -Richard

  14. “It is this sense of duty which causes them to avoid confronting the system”. Catherine, I think you are partly right. I have concluded from my life experiences of over a half century that we are each desperately alone in a vast and challenging wilderness here on planet earth. We humans tend to hold onto any guideposts we can find; to trust in people and organizations that appear provide a sense of security and a hope of physical and psychological survival. You ask others to let go of all that they have accepted as secure. It is too much for them to face reality. What you refer to as “duty” may often be simply their choice of the nearest apparent refuge in a storm, even if it is only short term or illusory.

  15. Great overview, Catherine. Michael Hudson (economist) gave a similar overview on video —
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pwAFohWBL4

    What people fear more than death is 1) public humiliation, and 2) not having any control over their circumstances when they are elderly or dying. I learned this from being a financial advisor and also working with communities to fight crime.

    Ed Story — great links, thanks for sharing!

  16. It’s all about scarcity (“SCARE-CITY”).

    – Scarcity of quality food & water for the public
    – Scarcity of environment for the planet through implied overuse by humanity.
    – Scarcity of farm land.
    – Scarcity of Petroleum and other natural resources (just look at what at Debeers has done with diamonds)
    – Scarcity of Capital for business for anyone who is not an Insider
    – Now, we have Total Economic Scarcity …. no business is allowed to exist outside the control grids, hence, no access to livelihood for the general public in this system.
    – etc… etc….

    Humanity has let the social planners create a system that humanity acquiesced to, and now depend upon for its survival. As they created it, they control it. Now they are retarding access to all critical elements of LIFE inside their system. It is full scale war against Humanity! The ONLY option is to disregard their systems, to create our own systems independent of theirs. But this is tricky, because they are pushing the public into new systems that they intend to attack or control at a more granular level at some future date. So, we cannot simply let them hold key ground, like all farmable land and all access to resources. There are certain MUST BEE stances that humanity must take, or we put our survival at extraordinary risk.

  17. Anthony:

    Very good point.

    Someone once told me about a game. You write all your possessions on a piece of paper and then you go through a large house or mansion with many rooms in each room you have to give up one of the pieces of paper until the last one you have to decide between the last two.

    Going through years of litigation was like that for me — just a real life game. When I got down to the last few rooms, I decided that death was not the worst thing that could happen. So I would give up life before other things that had more value — such as freedom. That was a very freeing notion that has freed me from needing many of the things I used to think I needed.

    At the same time, I have no children and my parents are dead. I believe that many people feel very strong obligations to dependent parents and children. It is this sense of duty which causes them to avoid confronting the system.

    Best,

    Catherine

  18. Hi Catherine,

    Have not responded in a while to any readings! But I think you just hit on the entire illusion of THE SYSTEM. What most do not realize is that they are artificial persons as well. Well they may believe they are Natural persons, but their behavior walks the walk. So when a fictitious entity (everyone not a freeman) deals with another fictitious entity (corporate) the bigger, badder and greater financed wins, every time. Look persons its time to become people…not sheeple. I always laugh when a person talks about sheeple. Because a person is soooooo much lowlier than a sheeple. sheeple have a chance of awakening. persons are forever owned by their masters. Do not be mistaken this is the eternal game of master and slave. If you want awakening and are really wanting to do something meaningful do some research of your own instead of Catherine doing it all the time for you all…

    Go here… http://www.dnb.com/us/ …go to menu where it says find a company…in the blank enter various organizations you believed where of the PEOPLE…IRS, FBI, CIA, TREASURY DEPARTMENT, SUPREME COURT, PRESIDENT, US GOVERNMENT…have fun with it please note the names of how some are traded…the country will be united states and state will be district of columbia. do yo have a funny sinking feeling in your gut GOOD, How then is anything legit…how are you able to function in this SOCIETY (Law Society), you are an artificial person, that’s how. Granted privileges through the respective corporations until deemed unnecessary. How else could this entire system do so blatantly what it does unless they have the backing of law. The MATRIX was not so ingenious.

    http://www.freemanhighland.co.uk/index.htm …this video explains everything…when you are done click on… INTRODUCTION to the Freeman concept …and watch KYMATICA and ESOTERIC AGENDA, very interesting.

  19. Thank, Catherine, for a great summary of what’s really going on. I so appreciate your time and efforts.

    God bless and keep you.

  20. No argument here but I think the DNA is deeper. There is a collective fear of death that permeates all of our lives. In response to this fear we have created more and more systems and policies to avoid the inevitable.

    We all pay for healthcare because of this fear. So much of healthcare costs are accrued during the final months of life. We also have this view that everybody should be taken care of even if they don’t take care of themselves. costs and more costs…. eventually we still all die.

    No child left behind – how ridiculous is that education policy? So now we slog people through all sorts of programs and drag them through college only to fail later or become marginal employees in some corporate machine. Wouldn’t trade school have served some of them better.

    Jail: Our zero tolerance for crime has led to the largest prison population ever for a non slavery society. Criminals are very scary because they could injure or kill us and must be contained or so the thinking goes. Can our society really be that good if there are so many “bad” people. We’re losing this war too.

    I could go on but I think you get my point. Until we face our own mortality. Until we realize that there are no guarantees for individuals, corporations or society. Until we face live and reality on its terms we will continue to create top heavy systems that will bring about the very thing we fear most. When it happens that way people will not be perpared. The surivors will create still more systems to protect them from life and the cycle will continue until we face our fear. It is a spiritual and psychological problem more than an economic or political one.

    Anthony
