In the summer of 2000, I asked a group of 100 people at a conference of spiritually committed people who would push a red button if it would immediately stop all narcotics trafficking in their neighborhood, city, state and country. Out of 100 people, 99 said they would not push such red button. When surveyed, they said they did not want their mutual funds to go down if the U.S. financial system suddenly stopped attracting an estimated $500 billion-$1 trillion a year in global money laundering. They did not want their government checks jeopardized or their taxes raised because of resulting problems financing the federal government deficit.

Our financial profiteering and complicity is not limited to aristocrats and the elites who do their bidding. Our financial dependency on unsustainable economics is broad, ingrained and deep.

  1. The most you can do is unplug sufficiently so that if the red button was to be pressed you could live on.

  2. No truer words were ever spoken.
    Invest locally, too. With banks that have no
    credit card exposure, or mortgage exposure or
    big stock exposure. You can call your local based, state based
    banks and speak to the VP who you can question on all of these issues.
    I found a great bank in Austin, is national registered but only
    deal in Texas, no exposure to Cred Cards, Mortgages etc. And they closed
    their doors during ’29 Depression, ’87 Crash, and are still open and solid today.
