I hate to dim spirits out there, but just to maintain vigilance, don’t forget that blowing stuff up and having a few drinks today doesn’t mean we’re free. Remember the trillions in total debt and unfunded liabilities not to mention the derivatives being held over our heads? We have been attacked by the banking establishment and are in grave danger. Every country in history that became so hopelessly indebted was eventually foreclosed and restructured by the predators…uh…creditors.
The US and much of the world is in the midst of the restructuring process and it should be clear by now that the creditors will try to use domestic turmoil (the ramifications of the BP oil “spill” will be horrific), austerity (bankrupt states and programs), and WWIII (soon to be launched against the Persians) to pull it off. The final phase of WWIII several years from now would see the rise of a global empire under a new global banking system, global currency, and global people management system based on the Chinese model. We see this model on display every time the G20 meets as they deliberately condition the public to it. This would ultimately result in the end of the US as we know it if it were allowed to continue. July 4th would then be a memorial day.
Interestingly, the 4th may already be a memorial day. Independence legally occurred on July 2nd, and the Declaration itself wasn’t signed until August. So what happened on the 4th? The 2 primary intellectuals responsible for independence and the only 2 presidents to sign the Declaration, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, both died on this day in 1826. Hmm.
So honor these presidents by remembering their warnings about monetary powers. Jefferson’s warning that “banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies” has never been more obviously true. The 20th century was a brief period of amnesia. Luckily now vigilance has returned and the days of banker rule are numbered. They are quaking in fear because a new enlightenment has begun. Don’t let their tactics of turmoil, austerity, and WWIII distract you from what needs to be done.
Damon has had two fairly different lives—one as an overachiever serving the financial empire, and another as a hopeful advocate for the victims of the empire: local community, indigenous population, the American republic, and the individual heart. He graduated from the United States Military Academy, served as an officer in the US Army, then graduated from Harvard Business School, took a short detour on Wall Street, and had a career in Silicon Valley in several leadership positions in technology corporations. Since leaving empire service, he became a mountaineer, attended Mars Hill Graduate School, and now works toward redemption as a writer and post-neoclassical economic philosopher. See the beginnings of his course on Renaissance 2.0 here.
