MORAL ARMOR'S Irrational Parenting, Part 1
My view on parenting holds one key premise in mind: that every decent parent should
assure that upon leaving the nest, their kids can fly! So herein lies a critique against the
attributes which make this crucial moral obligation impossible.
The Wrong Decision
If you can't afford to buy a median priced home with all the trimmings, you can't afford
a baby, and probably haven't accumulated the knowledge necessary to raise one. This
however, is a luxury the Fear-driven indulge in. Most have kids because they don't know
what else to do with themselves. They don't know what's next, where to take their lives,
or where to take their relationship. There is no order to their lives, only what they saw
their parents do. Life for them amounts to adolescence, dating--uh ho!--a baby, marriage
and game shows. Unable to stop their own biological maturation, they develop an adult
mind with adult needs within a being already trapped by prior errors-so discontent
follows, then fighting, divorce and poverty. Then they do it again.
To some, having children is a form of involuntary companionship, an unthreatening
presence that demands little cognitive action. They claim this route because kids "keep
life simple." Isn't it simple enough? They extol the simple joy of children and spend their
lives looking at the floor. What's so interesting about it? Someone has to grow up, take
adult action and advance the world. Instead they waste their early productive years
stagnating at the level of baby talk when they should be building a solid future, and
through productive action, learning the true nature of consciousness before they commit
to another, or try to raise another.
The most laughable life-cowards are the moral missionaries. Everything in their lives, as
if a flower blooms with their words, is "for the children." In youth I recall overhearing,
"If I didn't have kids, there would be a void of time I wouldn't know how to fill."
Exactly. Children, when not a planned occurrence along a romantic sketch of living
desire, are a substitute for the frustrated need of achievement. Kids are just other people.
Thought and spirit are the exclusive domain of the individual. There is no social endeavor
that trumps the moral value of individual action. That action must generate more than
enough to feed ourselves, whose surplus feeds them as well, not by social concern, but
by purposeful productive ability. One's purpose in life must be self-defined, whose core
is to be pursued and accomplished without assistance. Any living purpose requiring
people is by its nature, neurotic. It is the confession that one does not know what to do
with oneself alone; that one cannot live independently and be happy by the functioning of
one's own brain, meaning that for this person, life is not an end in itself. Worse yet, if a
central purpose is not defined, one cannot convey its importance to another. They can't
teach happiness and can only pass along their own status-slave, master, predator, host or
parasite. Their blissful concern for the children doesn't earn them jack for respect in
anyone past the age of five.
Through children, some people generate liabilities for the free ride our legislators permit,
using a combination of the above excuses. "We can't afford it" becomes "We need not
consider the expense. The government will give us $X for the production of each baby.
The government wants babies-babies can be our enterprise. If we control costs and push
the remaining burden onto the shoulders of others, we won't have to work." There is
nothing as heart-wrenching as a hungry child? Well, it's nothing compared to the collapse
of a nation by internal corruption. En masse, they and their sympathizers including those
responsible for such laws, are responsible for all segments of overpopulation, of rent-
control slums, inner-city crime and societal breakdown. The shortest-term thinkers and
those willing to submit to them, always have the longest-term disasters.
Next time, we'll explore what bad parents hand down and what it does to their children's
lives.
MORAL ARMOR'S Irrational Parenting, Part 2
Children may begin bright and eager to face the world, but are often inundated with the
conditioning of their fear-ridden predecessors speaking of lost dreams-taken by no one in
particular. Their guardians appear learned, but seem not to damn the worst traits in men.
In facing life's greatest question, venturing into their future lives based solely on the
hopes of an untested mind, they are offered an alternative. The fear-preying lure of their
elders is to stay common and small. In place of goals, there will be duty. In place of
love, there will be dependency. In place of identity, there will be pretense. In place of
understanding, there will be orders. In place of agreements, there will be domination. In
place of respect, there will be power. In place of standards, there will be social
sentiment. In place of reason, there will be faith. In place of dignity, there will be
sacrifice. In place of progress, there will be culture. For their submission, they are
offered unconditional acceptance.
Schooled evil has a nightmare advantage over unskilled virtue. Against a more complete
and experienced evil, adolescent innocence stands little chance. With a wider certainty in
the field of corruption, such cowards always seek to dominate the unformed. They have
many more methods than someone newer to life or to a given context who walks a
fragile line for the first time-carefully forming his epistemological trunk prior to
branching. Imagine four-year-old eyes, staring up at evil-guilty of the sin of perception, a
trait crucial to the survival of any living thing-serving animals, but damned in Man. Not
helping to arm him for life, this evil is intent on knocking the weapons out of his hands,
forcing him to give in to the void, which will be filled by patterns of expropriation,
designed in response to their own fears. Youth must hesitate, not because nature requires
it, but because social flaws and immoral conditioning get in the way of truth. A desert
island youth would skip this phase.
There are only two ways to corrupt a human being. First, by direct physical harm or its
precursor, threats of consequence, as such action disrupts the function of the entity.
Second, by providing a context that makes it okay for the entity to harm itself, to convey
or frame thoughts in a way that sanctions the debilitation of the victim's own life-
furthering potential.
A mind disconnected from living usefulness cannot convey the importance of ability. A
mind relishing the spectacle of getting away with anything, disconnects its offspring
from virtue. With each generation it degenerates; the victims are driven further from the
grounding patterns of cause and effect, further from rationality, further from morality
and further into its inevitable results-self-hatred and stagnation. The hidden desires of the
first generation become the open desires of the second. The third acts on them, not
realizing the dreams of the first, but the true end, dysfunction. First, they go to unwanted
jobs arguing that they shouldn't have to, then raise children who aren't employable. They
in turn abide by laws which they claim limit their rights to the work of others, then raise
children who steal. In each successive generation they wipe out a level of values, and the
ability to identify them. They shorten their own intellectual range, and stunt their
children's in turn. By stunting any means to a clean sense of self-worth, their children are
that much more willing to participate in what disregards it.
The correct philosophical knowledge has been available for thousands of years--
predating Christianity--held back by parents and leaders who prefer to see their children's
hampered, helpless spirits die just to stave off the fear of discovering their own unnamed
inadequacies. They chose our pain and limitations in order to hide from their own. Men
are brought into the world fully armed, with no need for tampering of any kind. It is the
Spirit Murderers who slowly take his weapons from him. Their method to bring about
submission, helplessness and penance, breeds Self-made Man's antithesis: the dependent.
This method of creating zombies to do the bidding of the Fear-driven is identical to their
own pattern of degenerative development. When he doesn't have to acknowledge ability-
human beings shrink back to a level he need not fear.
I know how social trends work; I know Moral Armor will have many opponents. There
will be mothers screaming their hatred, safely aiming it away from themselves and
towards me, delivering their children into the hell of their own stagnant processes,
forever unwilling to face and except responsibility for the result of their own actions.
Instead of mature growth, they'll commit the ultimate evil-the spirit murder of their own
offspring-sacrificing them to feed the headless monster of their own denial.
It took a long time to realize what the older generations have been doing to the younger,
and I can see why many turned to drugs. We're worse off because of what they've had
us automate. We were harped on if we did bad. We were ostracized and ignored when
we did too well. With no path to harmony, escape is sometimes the only option. The
moral default of our elders has made life intolerable for everyone. Enough is enough.
Many of them don't exercise their power responsibly, so it is time to take it away from
them. No more power over us and over the world's future. No more running it into the
ground. Their true error, intentional or not, is that they use their consciousness
improperly, and they don't want to redeem their errors. How many lies do they intend to
take to the grave? By understanding the nature of consciousness and the sound moral
base for all thought and action, we can reveal the true moral sanction for how we live
and interact every day. Then we can break free from their domination and see the world
honor the new management.
Our next installment will focus on a surprising source of typical cognitive abuse; which
is a challenge for even a good parent to avoid!
MORAL ARMOR'S Achieving Moral Perfection
Spirit Murderers view Self-made Men as those who can do no wrong. It is the denial of
Man's natural pattern of function to expect men to live in a state of perfect action--to be
infallible. Their own pretense of false perfection drives the belief that infallibility is
necessary for achievement, which it isn't, and they revel in seeing us err, enjoying the
shame they expect us to feel at slipping on a pretense which we never practiced to begin
with. The truth is that their premises tied perfect action to egoism, and in attempting to
mimic our earned stature, we see their false-egoism most blatantly in the insincere refusal
to admit any wrong-doings on their part. False perfection and false egoism are based on
the same default, to avoid identification of the sub-elements which make our success
possible--rational thought and tenacious effort. These they fear most of all.
For centuries, perfection has been preached as a futile, hopeless ideal, an unobtainable
height that men must be measured against, yet can never reach. The Spirit Murderer's
definition of perfection requires that Man not be human. Animals trip, stumble and fall
out of trees, but Man cannot gain approval if he remains subject to the laws of gravity, to
the inconsistency of meteorological conditions or if he is not aware of all knowledge in
advance of its discovery. Man cannot be considered perfect as long as he is subject to
the natural flow of life.
Webster's dictionary defines perfection as: "complete in all respects; without defect or
omission; sound; flawless." This is a proper definition, but the contexts most often used
regarding Man are wrong and demand clarification. Flying in the face of reasonable
expectation, they measure his worth by whether he manages not to stumble on an
uneven sidewalk, never spills anything, never gets sick, never says the wrong thing,
never gets angry, never pays a bill late, never disobeys a law, never talks back, never
disappoints, has the perfect house and the perfect family. One mistake--one sneeze, and
your damned.
So what do most people do? Some try to maintain this impossible pretense, making
themselves and those around them miserable, while the rest accept that Man can be
nothing but imperfect, and end up more prone to degeneration. All of them avoid looking
inward with a humble sense of unworthiness and guilt, fearing to find out just how
imperfect they actually are. When a man succeeds, he’ll often accept congratulations in
silence or deflect honors, reluctant to recount the difficulties of his quest. For one, he
knows his secret passion--pushing himself to the limit--is not viewed fondly by most. It
is feared, envied and hated and he feels the tension against its acknowledgment. He
knows what tenacity was necessary to fulfill his dream, and in mild embarrassment--
knowing he is to be judged by a standard which claims that winners achieve success
automatically, overnight--he knows he cannot live up to it. This dance of self-doubt is
unnecessary. Look closely and you'll discover that what false perfection actually damns,
is human cognition.
Rational perfection for Man does not require everything he does to be on cue. The
concept of perfection is inapplicable to whether or not he encounters circumstances that
catch him off-guard, but to what he does about them. Perfection applies not to whether a
man trips, but to whether he attempts to recover, versus the preference of falling on his
face. Not whether he never gets sick, but whether he takes steps to cure his illness and
to prevent future illness. Not whether he never gets angry, but whether it’s properly a
response to injustice. Human perfection is found in the dynamic realm of volition:
identifying and choosing the right course--the moral course--in every important issue of
one's life, simple or complex. Moral consistency in choice is the true gauge of
perfection, but false perfection accomplishes a number of parasitical goals for a Spirit
Murderer: 1) To impose guilt for later redemption, 2) To justify his own misgivings
"Nobody's perfect," 3) To look down on Man, 4) To kick him when he’s down and 5)
To keep his focus on what is expected and not on what matters.
The proper human countenance weighs all metaphysical conditions in his capacity to
consider--calculating their effects to streamline his intentions. He moves through the
world according to his own plan, and must interact with, oppose if contrary and harness
if possible, the forces he encounters along his journey. Part of that journey, is learning
how. He spends a lifetime honing the skill of processing data related to his causes,
always becoming a greater, more efficient sum, and the result of living well is his highest
pride. He rejects all irrational elements held as impediments before him by lesser men,
knocking their fear aside to grasp the essence of an issue and gain proper footing. This
constant upward thrust is Man's living will--the survival of the fittest--his answer to the
question "Live or die?" The quest he was reluctant to describe earlier, which the
discovery of its application to themselves makes the Spirit Murderers equally reluctant to
hear, was in fact his pursuit of true epistemological perfection.
Our true worth is not to be measured by an irrational standard. From our willingness to
breathe and focus our eyes to our life’s work, our self-generated productive effort
determines our worth, and we add to the plus side with every moral decision--every
decision that serves our betterment, to no ones harm or loss. In a Self-made Man, his life-
preserving provocation is instantaneous; he isn't defeated in advance. He leaps to his feet,
willing to fight for life until the end--of the storm or of himself. This is true of him in
peacetime as well, channeling his energy into realms of no lesser spiritual consequence--
the tenacity to succeed no matter what it requires of him. Now that is heroic moral
perfection.
MORAL ARMOR on Materialism and Profit
Desiring to get the most out of life, life’s lovers intend to earn and therefore deserve the
best the world has to offer. Materialism is an anti-concept which damns this desire as a
spiritually bankrupt, destructive pursuit. In the most rudimentary separation, it considers
the body and mind to be two halves of a man with no interconnection, and more often
than not, declares them to be fiercely at odds--the modern equivalent of religions "man
fighting for his soul." They claim they can put him back on track, exclaiming that
spirituality can only be achieved by renouncing all material interests and necessities. The
anti-concept is further narrowed as no intellectual pursuit is considered spiritual, omitting
whatever could offend the non-thinking, non-producing man. In true Fear-driven
fashion, they look down on the physical world where they have no power, and look up
to the spiritual where they have no responsibility.
In their world, spiritual pursuits must yield no hard-earned clarity or material advantages,
just some empty, unquestionable, eternal bliss. Has anyone ever asked why? Why is that
spiritual; because its the Hindus answer? Centuries of monks have passed through time,
sitting Indian-style in silence with steepled hands and have brought to the world a value
amounting to exactly…nothing. Their credo is mindlessness as the price of spirituality
and stagnation as the price of peace--not a healthy pattern to follow. Why renounce the
material world? "Mans greed" would be their response, and the only way around wanting
something improperly--as the Fear-driven see no alternative--is to want nothing, the only
way for them not to harm is not to move. But greed or any desire, great or small, is only
wrong when one seeks the unearned. Greed as defined by Webster’s dictionary, is "an
excessive desire for getting or having; a desire for more than one needs or deserves." It
has a very negative connotation, yet can simply mean as stated under greedy, "intensely
eager." Its a word twisted to draw a moral conclusion in advance; to assert that a strong
desire is wrong in itself regardless of whether its means of fulfillment is honest or
dishonest.
Are people that "never have enough" truly evil? Beginning with the obvious, a human
being is an entity of matter and consciousness, requiring material and spiritual products
to sustain itself. Should we damn our bodies because they are never done consuming
food? Every day, on and on, nourish, expel, nourish, expel--the simple nature of the
entity. Did it ever occur to you that Man’s spirit runs the same cycle? Spirit Murderers
often deny this nutritional cycle, reaching a point where they decide they are done
learning--what I call the Finished Product. They stifle the expansion of their knowledge,
yet expect to continue to gain spiritual values, never seeing its link to their unhappiness.
Man can no more settle for a fixed amount of achievement, than he can exist with a
single breath of oxygen. Happy people do not seek or settle for an intellectually or
physically static state of being, at any age. There is no such thing as a mindless body or
a bodiless mind, and a man cannot live lacking either. To survive, he must continue to
feed both. You may hear about their wonderful out of body experiences, but what do
you think their body was doing while they were off floating in no-mans land? Keeping
them alive is all.
They dispense with our ambition, saying "There are non-material ideals to consider."
That’s true. The non-material ideals are the abstract ideals of a Self-made Man, which
make grasping and seeking the material ideals possible. With our own neurobiological
understanding, it is becoming clear that there is no real separation between mind and
body at all. All living organisms have specific nutrients they must pursue in both realms.
But how is this done? Proper spiritual nutrition is found exactly in the creative activity of
bringing abstract ideas into material reality, which they damn, not first in buying the
goods, but in producing them. Its exciting to come up with an idea and see if the world
will go for it. Win or lose, I keep running this process over and over--I love it! I love the
opportunity to buy the products of another’s genius--simple inventions like my tool-
grabber, things I’ve imagined but haven’t the time to develop, and revolutionary new
ideas from people who’ve spent passionate time out on an epistemological limb Ill never
have to walk alone. The passionate endeavors of others have brought such wealth into
my life, that in my thankfulness, I don’t know where to begin. Maybe from the
harnessing of fire, to the invention of the wheel, to Aristotle’s laws of logic, to the
founding fathers of America, to Benjamin Franklin's experiments with electricity, to
Thomas Edison’s light bulb, to Henry Fords Model T, to IBM’s personal computer and
its unlimited applications, to the exotic cars I treasure--these are all products of Man
which I benefit from greatly, and had no part in designing. All were considered foolish
ostentation or evil upon their inception, in malicious fear of the creative faculty from
which they came, by those whose productive significance history never seems to record.
Very few people are wrapped up in "over-consumerism" shopping themselves silly as a
manic attempt to replace spiritual fulfillment. Such an addiction is an aversive
dependency just as alcoholism or gambling, but in these others, the remedial push is to
get their act together. There is rarely a call to separate oneself from oneself, and
reformers focus on those afflicted; they don’t declare it to be a worldwide epidemic.
Their solution for this supposed rash of greed is only to relegate our time to idle prayer
or to a cruder material pursuit they can understand, such as farming. Only in socialist
slave-pens such as China, does a society need to focus solely on the preservation of
Mans body, a need their political system consistently fails to meet. Freedom translates
into innovations for efficient farming requiring less labor, releasing individuals to create
new products and new markets. Those who want to stop men from producing whatever
comes to their mind as a salable product, then dictate to them how they will spend their
time, their money and on what, are the ones to be criticized. Americas wonderful bounty
of products is the result of every mans right to exist being recognized, and that’s all.
Breathe easily when a man is after money and luxuries he is willing to earn, because
when he isn’t, he is after control. The Spirit Murderers are the ones responsible for
wanting the unearned in both realms; the problem was created by them, in self-restraint
supposedly solved by them, and the Finished Product was its result. This cold, mindless,
dead relation to matter and spirit has nothing to do with us, so we should leave them to it.
Self-made Man can and does act without harming. He can want properly. Most forget
that those accused of being materialist, often put many unpaid years into their fields
before any profit is realized, if at all. And profit, damned for centuries, is the basic
necessity of life, the requirement that one stays ahead of even--in body and spirit. It is
the third step of cognition, the act of creation--the hope of prosperity in any realm in
which one dares to dream--that brings the human spirit to life. It is the fourth step of
cognition: validation, whose equivalent in work is profit, which determines whether one
remains on course. Whether ones interest is commercial, romantic or both, profiting is
not evil or wasteful as the Spirit Murderers claim, but essential: the very fiber of our self-
esteem, and the key to the deepest spirituality a man can ever hope to reach--and they
know it.
To know that ones divine inspiration has a productive purpose--that it brings joy to
others and prosperity to ourselves, that our energy serves a sum, not to be lost in the
past, but a value to be brought forward with every day of our lives--develops an inertia
that will supercharge our exhilaration for living. This moral awareness is the whole point
of Moral Armor. As a result, all thought and action becomes tied to prosperity, as it
should be. The structure of every mind assumes the correct hierarchical order and gains
the capacity to project across the span of its own existence, bringing to fruition a height
of personal significance, almost too precious to contemplate.
MORAL ARMOR Condemns Home and Business Seizure
Law
Nothing could be more alarming for Americans than what I read this morning: "The
Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people's homes and
businesses - even against their will - for private economic development." This deplorable
moral atrocity perpetrated against Americans MUST be reversed. Those responsible
should know that they have destroyed their own credibility in the eyes of a free people,
and should now go join the insurgency in Iraq.
I never thought I'd live to see this scavenging of property rights in America. Power has
just been taken from the people and given to those of privilege. This is not an "eminent
domain" issue due to the necessity of roads and proper ingress and egress, but via
conquest. Petty government officers who've been unable to make an honest profit have
openly declared their outright unwillingness to make an honest profit. Small businesses
and homeowners will now lose to large developers, banks and corporations, whose
power and size now supersede property rights. Tax "profits" and subjective opinions will
now come before families. Pay attention to the players: these are the people to vote out
of office in the next election.
President Andrew Jackson defined the moral boundaries of all human institutions in his
famous bank veto speech:
"Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents,
of education, or of wealth cannot be produced by human institutions...every man is
equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add to these natural
and just advantages artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive
privileges,...the humble members of society-the farmers, mechanics, and laborers-who
have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors for themselves, have a right
to complain of the injustice of their government. There are no necessary evils in
government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal
protection, and, as heaven does its rains, shower its favor alike on the high and the low,
the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there
seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles." -Andrew
Jackson
An MSNBC report has said "The Supreme Court's ruling on private property will have a
significant impact across the country." You bet it will. If it's not reversed, the worst
potential result will reflect the causes of the Vietnam War. How? In 1945 at the close of
WWII, half the weapon stock intended for the invasion of Japan was shipped to
Vietnam. During the 1950's, the CIA violently uprooted over one million people from
North Vietnam and dumped them on the South Vietnamese with no property rights and
no livelihood. They became bandits for sheer survival, then termed the Veitcong, who
fought us with American-made weapons. The CIA created an enemy for us to go and
fight, though their war plans were hampered by a true American, John F. Kennedy. The
same people who killed Kennedy are behind this ruling, looking to achieve what they
secretly desire: to push America one step closer to civil war.
The civil, moral process of property development through natural attrition will be swept
away, and now anyone with money and friends in City Planning can be creative with
your land and decide whether to go to court and take it from you. The danger signs are
accumulating: 1. Sentiment between rich and poor will reach an all-time low. 2. Federal
Reserve loose money policies have already caused economic desperation. 3. Relaxed
weapons laws means we are all well-armed. And now, 4. We have no right to our
property. The stage is being prepared for an unwinnable guerilla conflict on American
soil; the Hegelian/Malthusian ideal of genocide as a proper means of profit and population
control.
"Justice John Paul Stevens said local officials, not federal judges, know best" Right, as if
Americans have never encountered the waste, graft and incompetence of government
officials. My answer is "We the citizens are responsible grown-ups. We don't need to be
taken care of, and you're not better suited to decide our destiny." After witnessing the
mindless turf wars and backstabbing between my local politicians, I certainly wouldn't
put any big decisions in their hands: see to it that the roads are maintained.
Regarding Justice Stevens, I wouldn't trust such a judge to preside over a toaster. He
cares so much, he's willing to stick a gun in your face to prove it? Human rights evolve
from the individual, to the social, to the institutional realms. No sound institutional
decision ever violates the foundation it stems from. By undercutting human beings at so
basic a level, Justice John Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader
Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer have given us good reason to doubt their judgment, and to
expect their resignations.
This is not the first time our Chief Justice has put his integrity aside to intervene for
special interests. If you really want to understand the issue and protect yourself and
those you care for from what's at the heart of megalomania, read Moral Armor. With a
complete description of the "Submission/Domination Axis" stemming from the Fear-
Driven mindset, you will be Morally Armed, and as this knowledge spreads, there will be
nowhere left for them to hide. "Watch out marauding developers; the ground isn't as
stable as you think."
As a home and small business owner, DO NOT BUDGE. As a citizen, if individuals lose,
BOYCOTT these new developments. Deny the business and tax revenue such men seek
by these "carefully formulated" wonton land-grabs. Vote this law's supporters out of
office. Through Moral Armor, gain the philosophical perspective to put this insanity
behind us. Until then, I'll leave them with a quote from King Arthur in response to his
enemy. Pointing his sword from up on his horse he said, "I'll look for YOU on the
battlefield."
MORAL ARMOR'S Economic Warning for Americans
For years we've suffered under recession, prompting us to ask, When will it end? My
answer is, "It's only the beginning."
Historically, recessions are the result of high interest rates, pushed up as the result of
loose money policies. Recovery comes when citizens begin to spend more wisely, save
money and pay off their debts, but not this time. Never before have credit policies been
so loose for so long, and there has been no decrease in consumer debt. Its still on the
rise, but Americans are NOT fundamentally to blame; immoral monetary policy is.
Banks used to consider a safe loan applicant to have a 36% or less Debt to Income Ratio
(debt divided by gross income). This percentage is a time-proven figure indicating the
financial health of an individual. Now, during the worst economy in twenty years and
with no signs of recovery, our banks gladly loan to applicants with a 56% Debt to
Income. What has changed? Are banks suddenly more generous? I don’t think so. One
good question to ask is, Why are banks willing to accept the additional risk? But the real
question to ask is, Where is this money coming from?
Not one in a thousand Americans knows the true nature of our banking system, so they
have no idea that what happened in 1929 is about to happen again. Nor do they know
that it was done deliberately then, and is being done deliberately now.
We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions known to Man, and I refer
to the Federal Reserve. Since its inception in 1913, every dollar created has interest being
paid on it as if it were borrowed. This debt cannot be extinguished without destroying
the currency itself, and has spawned a nightmare of debt that presently amounts to over
$360 Billion in interest paid per year, accounting for half the personal income tax of the
nation. Due to this, America is forced to create $7 Billion daily to cover the $1 Billion it
pays in interest daily due to the Federal Reserve System. This is where the public comes
in.
Federal Reserve bankers have to find a way to spend $6 Billion every day while masking
the inflation it causes. Throughout the nineties it was done through real estate and the
stock market. Now it is almost exclusively being put into real estate. How on Earth could
so many mortgage companies be offering interest only, no money down, multi-hundred
thousand or million dollar loans with high applicant debt ratios?
Here is a hypothetical example of what’s going to happen: Your mortgage banker tells
you that with a 56% debt ratio, you can afford a $300,000 home, no money down. You
secure the loan at 4%, costing $1432 per month. A few years later, you’re thrown out of
work for three months. Back payments amount to $4296 plus late fees, legal fees, etc.,
and another $5k on cars, credit cards and everything else. Unable to catch up, you’ll try
to refinance, but interest rates have moved up to 7%. A $310,000 loan now costs $2062
per month--more than you can afford, but banks will have tightened lending policies back
to 36% and you no longer qualify for the home you own anyway. Accounting for all
other debt, you now qualify for a shocking $360 per month. You are trapped, and the
new bankruptcy laws they pushed for will never let you walk away.
You owned this home in a perfect numbers scenario, but any complications--
unemployment, salary reduction, interest rate increase, debt ratio change, bruised credit
rating, depressed home values--and you’re cooked. One mishap and every financial
measure works against you. Your financial angel has suddenly become your greatest
enemy. Welcome to the Federal Reserve System and their freshly engineered worldwide
depression.
If you were to approach the housing market fresh, you would find that you only qualify
for a $55k house now, along with the market of buyers you were hoping to unload your
balloon-house on. The bank forecloses, auctions it off and you’re personally responsible
for the difference, which could be massive. Bankruptcy is right around the corner, and
deplorably, you are the only one who will be held accountable. You will then be a debt
slave as the Federal Reserve intends, and game over.
My advice is to get as financially stable as you can. Mathematically, our situation is much
worse than that of the Great Depression. No matter how generous these bankers appear,
pare down monthly outlays to 36% D/I or less. Set aside three to six months of
mortgage payments in case you become unemployed. Make sure you can ride out the
storm.
We are coming to a point in American society to where its either them or us, and mass
awareness is the key to our survival. Most believe the Federal Reserve is a part of the
government, but its just a name. The Fed is a private corporation set up for private gain,
with a dark history of stock market crashes, financial panics, political manipulation and
ultimately, mass poverty and hunger riots. Our struggle is not new: currency control has
switched from public to private hands EIGHT times since our country’s inception, and
needs to be reclaimed by the people, one last time.
Don’t think you can play helpless and expect our political leaders to protect you from
financial calamity; they never have. You must become Morally Armed on your own. Don’
t be coaxed into believing the system is optimized for the good of all. The Federal
Reserve System is not an equitable institution, and it was never intended to be. They
believe if they have us strung out on debt, we are no threat to them. Let us prove
otherwise.
Currency reform is the most important issue facing Americans today. How it plays out
will determine whether you and your children eat or not, whether you have a place to live
or even a future to look forward to. The major media will ridicule anyone speaking
against the Fed, so to validate history’s greatest moral dilemma for yourself, just google
"Jackson bank veto."
America must abolish the Federal Reserve System to regain control over the economy
and our government. For a concise history of world monetary policy and how it shapes

MORAL ARMOR on Selfless and Unconditional Love
When you pick out a Christmas tree, do you just grab the one closest to the car, or do
you apply a set of standards? Unconditional love is the mother of all anti-concepts, the
spiritual pinnacle of the irresponsible and un-worked for, eliminating the Fear-driven’s
two chief enemies: thought and effort. On the part of the grantor, it is the escape of
determining standards; on the part of the grantee, it is the escape of upholding them.
Throwing a sheet over what is undeserving of love, the Fear-driven assert that "To be
virtuous, you must love what’s under it, never identifying the object of your love and
never desiring to." Imagine devoting yourself to another without reservation: do you
picture someone ready-made, or some foul-smelling, ignorant, abusive greaseball?
Remember, unconditional love is without condition; selfless love is without cognitive
appraisal; free love is without spiritual compensation. All are something for nothing,
which in the physical realm is called theft. These anti-concepts consider any preference
abominably, to be a moral affront. How can they treat the highest value Man can grant or
receive, with less care than we exercise even to choose a can of vegetables?
Spirit Murderers cannot accept that love is a reward for merit. They wish to remain in
safe harbor and get it as a grant as in youth, so to initiate the fraud, they try to give it as
a grant. Its cheaters succeed not in spreading or receiving love, but only in mangling the
pathways to the true concept within themselves and their victims. Civilization can’t shut
its eyes to shoplifting, homicide and all the crimes in between. If no one is held
accountable to rational standards, societal breakdown and anarchy would result--we
know it; we’ve seen it. Still it’s considered a beautiful gesture to forgive any atrocity on
a private level, though it spawns the same disorder. A beautiful gesture? It isn’t beautiful
to exercise poor judgment, but its worse than that.
Milking our pity, the Fear-driven secured our consent to overlook their misgivings as a
moral action, and in so doing, we unwittingly damned our own virtues as immoral. If
that which hinders life is to be valued, then that which furthers life is not—it’s one or the
other. They claimed we must love everything, but we found virtues quickly excluded—
didn’t we, as moral sides were again recognized once their inversion was in place. They
made us feel guilty for our fulfillment in the presence of their pain--guilty for practicing
the moral patterns of life and for gaining their proper result--pride. They successfully
transmitted the bitterness which dwells in their own hearts--the second key to their true
plan--no reward for anyone. If you consent to loving the contemptible, cringing becomes
your confused expression of love. If you agree to love what you are indifferent to, it is
detachment you will project. Disgust by any other name is felt as disgust, distrust is felt
as paranoia and emptiness is always hollow--the truth comes out anyway. The actual
concepts being practiced will emerge in senses dulled by pain, toil and an unrewarding
life.
Uncovering its true intent, unconditional love is a reproach in hatred for all human values;
the values it was created to defy. It allows them on a spiritual level, just what they desire
on the physical--to get away with murder. Disallowing comprehension leaves us no
means to tell decay from furtherance or enemy from friend. No one can succeed in
practicing unconditional or selfless love, and to the extent that people are sane, they don’t
try. Conceptually its true meaning is mindless approval--a contradiction in terms.
Approval presupposes a mind that approves. Love, presupposes a self that does the
loving. As they deny Man his perceptions and perceptions are sensory-based, by their
own definition, it is senseless.
True love is not the all accepting, all forgiving garbage can they claim it to be; it is just
the opposite. Love is a precious reward--an appreciable response to admirable traits--and
every human being, from the most innocent child to the most wicked, seething Spirit
Murderer, knows it. The standard of appreciation for a rational man is life itself. His love
is granted to the premises leading to life, just as his hate is validated by the premises
which take it. The purest love is a virtue-pinnacle reached only by those of a
countenance healthy enough to acknowledge them.
