The October Edition of The Dollar Vigilante Has Just Been Released
Sunday, October 2, 2011 at 3:49PM We live in truly precarious times. Saving, investing and safety considerations for yourself and your loved ones have taken on a new importance.
The majority of everything most people have been taught to believe was a lie. The US is not the land of the free. Democracy is slavery, not freedom. The US is the most indebted nation in history. And the wealth most people thought they had will disappear in an instant.
For them it will be a period of crisis. We need to protect ourselves from the reactions of millions while at the same time positioning ourselves to take advantage of their ignorance. Those who subscribe to a socialist, anti-capitalist worldview would say that makes us bad. In fact, by saving as much of our assets as possible from being completely destroyed we will have the ability to help the world rebuild from the rubble of the failed democratic, fiat currency, nation-state experiment.
The world will be a much more prosperous, safer place once the dust settles. We just need to delicately navigate through to that end... an end that is all but certain to come.
In that regard it is as important as ever to keep abreast of developments in the political and financial sphere. Here are just some of the topics covered in this month's issue of The Dollar Vigilante:
- The US: Clinging to a Past That Never Existed
- Lost Jobs? Those Jobs Weren't "Lost"... They Never Existed
- We show Japan's "two lost decades" as yet another reason to ignore GDP numbers

- The Rush To Physical Metals Continues... If You Don't Have Physical Yet, Time is Running Out

by Don SwensonWe need to understand our globally inter-connected network called the INTERNET – http://youtu.be/Jj6EHgSsx_U - How does it work?
In the last 10 years there has been a revolution in communication, finance, investing, and global interconnectivity. This revolution has changed our PRICING mechanism for all goods and services. Prices are now really intangible, immaterial, images within our computer screen. And our PRICES are now denominated with a monetary ‘unit’ (dollars, pounds, yen, et al) that derives from the MINDS of our Central Banking authorities…who then create digital ‘numbers’ via a click of their computer mouse. And the source of ‘money’ today is the MIND or consciousness of these key individuals who have special positions of AUTHORITY (like our Fed Chairman, Ben S. Bernanke; Mervyn A. King, Governor of the Bank of England; and Jean-Claude Trichet, European Central Bank).
All our commercial banks, stock exchanges, brokerage houses, and trading procedures are now mostly ‘digital’ enterprises (see these websites and videos): www.swift.com/banks and also www.globalbankingandfinance.com. The INTERNET is the means for transmission of our monetary ‘units’ called dollars, pounds, euros, yen, etc. http://youtu.be/Vs4i-jVIl9c (how it works). All our large banks and brokerage institutions are now connected via this WEB of interconnectivity via a global network of high frequency computers.
We need to understand that commodity PRICES are now expressed and determined by the inter-activity of a global network of traders, money managers, and finance institutions all operating in realtime. This network is virtual (imaginary in nature) and not part of our real observable world called spacetime. Virtual reality can be defined or described as follows: The definition of virtual reality is “the effect created by generating an environment that does not exist in the real world. Usually, a stereoscopic display and computer-generated three-dimensional environment giving the immersion effect. The environment is interactive, allowing the participant to look and navigate about the environment. What does this mean for our future?
This means that the old paradyme of Supply/Demand setting the price levels is no longer a valid model. Today, PRICES are set within this international VIRTUAL marketplace of on-line traders, money managers, finance institutions, and Central Banks. Each of these entities influence what happens within this interconnected virtual environment. My prior missives described how our monetary ‘unit’ (the dollar) has changed from a physical THING to our current NON THING (symbol and number). A THING for a monetary unit could be units of silver, units of gold, units of paper notes (denominated with numbers and symbols). These items EXIST in spacetime and have been forms of money throughout history. This all changed as a result of the Nixon Shock of 1971.
Today, our monetary ‘unit’ is a NON THING (nothing physical) and it is derived from the MIND’S of key Central Bankers around our planet. For example, where does our monetary ‘unit’ derive from…called the DOLLAR? Who THINKS and then creates this ‘unit’ OUT OF NOTHING (his consciousness)? Who created some $16 trillion of monetary units over the past three years…if you count the multiplier effect? Who expanded the Fed balance sheet from some $800 billion in 2008 to the current number of $2,600,000,000,000? Where did these ‘numbers’ derive from? And just what is a ‘number’ derived from one’s MIND (say the recent $600,000,000,000 called QE2)…in reality? Think about what is now happening and WHO is responsible!!!
Let’s review what has happened with the commodity we call OIL. This commodity had a PRICE of $17/barrel in 1999. The PRICE increased to $75/barrel in 2006…then $145/barrel in July 2008…then $34/barrel in December 2008…then $112/barrel in April 2011..and finally $78/barrel today. Is this an example of STABLE prices? Why are prices so unstable and volatile today…when compared to historical prices prior to the NIXON SHOCK of 1971? See this website: www.wtrg.com/prices.htm. Notice that prices were relatively stable when our monetary ‘unit’ was defined and convertible into a physical metal (gold). Then notice how unstable prices have been since 1973 (when gold was removed as our underlying money via the Nixon Shock of Aug. 15, 1971).
The closing of the Gold Window and the emergence of fiat’ numbers as our world currencies in 1973 created a whole new PRICE environment for all goods and services in the global economy. Prices started to fluctuate dramatically from month to month and year to year. Then after the emergence of virtual money around 1999, prices became even more volatile and unpredictable. All this price volatility and unpredictability is really a result of our new VIRTUAL MONEY and the high frequency global trading…all in realtime. With no tie of our monetary unit to some stable commodity (say gold) and with no convertibility of virtual units into gold by consumers, traders, and investors…the result is a fluctuating and volatile global PRICE structure. What does this lead to in time?
All this unpredictability and volatility leads to a breakdown in investor and consumer confidence in the SYSTEM…in time. The key to a growing and expanding economy under Capitalism is a SOUND money unit and a STABLE price structure. Today, this is impossible under our CURRENT non SYSTEM…which I call Casino Capitalism. The entire trading system today is subjective and irrational as the reference point for PRICES is a NON THING (a subjective ‘number’ created ‘out of nothing’ by the MIND of a few elite policymakers meeting in secret…all of who lack an understanding of the implications and intricacies of the greater marketplace).
How can a few ‘ivory tower’ elites understand all the emotions and subjective decisions of real traders and money managers who bet on all kinds of assets from their individual computers…and who have no real interest in the Supply/Demand situation of commodities or the progress of the real observable economy of real people? Does our current SYSTEM make any sense when real people are not viewed as important? When real growth in real WEALTH is not viewed as important? And when our MONEY has evolved into a NO THING (nothing) UNIT? How can this type of SYSTEM be supported by real thinking people?
Take the time to check out all the video’s and websites above and reach your own conclusion on our SYSTEM. And for a finally, check out this video on where all this is leading: www.nowtheendbegins.com/one-world-government.htm. The theology of this site does not fully agree with my perspective, but it does demonstrate the essential trend and destiny of our current SYSTEM. Enjoy this missive and give it some thought at your leisure. http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
