Spooked by the success of the state-centred US New Deal and terrified of communism they held a big meeting in Paris in [----] the Walter Lippmann Colloquium. Hayek Mises and the other big names were there. Their agreed"

"Mark my words. There will be no movement towards a stable prosperous fair and sustainable future until we bring the creation of money under democratic control. The democratic state is the only institution powerful enough to crush and replace the private bankers. Its ability to create debt-free money for investment and spending is the sane alternative to the bankers' ludicrously privileged ability to create money out of thin air and charge us compound interest for what we allow them to do. Time and time again the bankers and their shadow-banking doppelgangers have led us into a debt trap where"

"Hello @afneil. You're not an economist - as far as I know you have neither academic nor work experience in the field - so I'll keep this very simple for you. Tax and borrowing do not create money. Governments and chartered banks create money out of thin air every day. Even on the gold standard they did this but in a more limited way. Governments and banks constantly take some of this money out of circulation through taxation capital repayment and interest payment which helps to control inflation currently at a very manageable low of 2.5%. The money in circulation creates effective demand and"

"Most to be honest Simon but economics is the extreme example because the mainstream is nothing more than a projected belief system given scientific credibility with simplified and badly applied mathematics. I say 'projected' because usurious financial capitalists - see Ray Dalio's juvenile Marvel Comics musings for instance - are too intellectually limited to understand difference and therefore believe everyone is like them. They use their money ideological influence and political-military power to impose on all of us a system in which survival and even a modicum of prosperity and security"

"Rubio's speech was obviously imperialist and repulsive (and all global South states should take note and plan deterrence accordingly). But it also shows he understands an important historical fact that most people do not grasp and which the US has spent the past half century trying to erase and obscure. Namely the anti-colonial movement which was one of humanity's greatest moral and political achievements was led in large part under the banner of socialism.
