The first premise most people willingly go along with is the absolute illiteracy and illegitimacy of there being these so called "financial powers." WE ALL are the ones accepting the nonsense that the origination of the monetary unit is a magical process of 'creation' by some magical monetary power within government or banking. And we accept this nonsense because we think that the monetary unit is an actual item of 'value'.
When we stopped using fungible physical commodities as 'trade goods' and moved to bookkeeping about the value contained in the goods and services of our interchange, we mistakenly and foolishly and illiterately assigned "value" to the number units themselves using symbols ($, etc.) as though those units were still commodities that had just lost their physical form.
All very mysterious really, the claims of these magical powers. Where the hell did that come from!?
In ancient times the temple priests told the peasantry who came to make their offerings to God that the offerings brought by the peasants were not acceptable to God. The priests told the people they needed to take the coins, that only the priests issued, and leave the Real Goods that the peasants had brought to the temple with the priests, go lay the coins on the altar because that was acceptable to God, and then go home. The original claims of 'authority' about ‘money’ by the temple priests is where the eventual claim of authority about money by government originated.
But the claim of 'authority' is nonsense, and so is the system of money itself; since what is real is the wealth of a people, and money is made up nonsense that the people have been told is real (acceptable to god). It's a long history of lies and deception. It is like unto the miss use of genuine authority as egregious as telling kids lies!
We are not going to get out of this mess while using the very system instituted ages ago to enslave and deceive and steal. And we certainly are not going to solve a systemic problem that is based on illiteracy by moral condemnation of those still acting illiterately within the illiterate system and never condemning the system. That is like telling slave masters they have to be good masters but never challenging the system of slavery.
It seems absurd because it is absurd, yet in this the 21st Century we are still not using an economic accounting/credit/number system that gives direct credit to the doer after the doing is done. Many, many rightly point out that in this country the black slave population that basically built such a large part of this country did not get ANY credit for the doing that they did. Indentured servants of many races and places of origin also have been given No Credit for the doing that they did. Most all of the absolute most critical doing that a society needs done is given No Credit in the system we have today. (child care, elder care, environmental care, ….) And still today the very notion that there must be an issuer of the numbers before The People can give and receive credit amongst themselves persists. When one thinks about how rich a society can be if it does not use banks (or government or temple priests) to originate acCounting units but only gives and receives credit for real doing it boggles the mind to think that we are still borrowing the use of the numbers with which we do our acCounting!
'Never anywhere and at any time in history in the BIble, Quran or elsewhere has money's logical function been defined and specified as is required by any modern information system. This can be done authoritatively with formal information science and dynamical systems theory and practice. Here we have done just that!' - Marc Gauvin bibocurrency.com
We can do something about this by not conceding power to "them" and by reclaiming monetary literacy and bringing these resolutions to every jurisdiction.
“What has happened is that economic theory has assumed that money is an empirical phenomena (i.e. somehow existing in nature like the force of gravity), but it isn't. It is a human artifice whose logical definition is 100% of human prerogative. In the now indisputable absence of adequate specification, economic theory has allowed the world to assume that currency symbols can be both a unit of measure of value as well as a tradable commodity without noticing how those two notions are mutually exclusive thus rendering such an undocumented but nonetheless de facto "definition" a logical misrepresentation. The systemic effects of such a nonsense premise underlying economic theory totally eclipse any other intention one might pursue under the yoke of such a misrepresentation, as it effectively precludes stability of value measure and hence infuses society with arbitrary dynamic compounding (exponential) uncertainty and risk, threatening everyone no matter their level of wealth, with a constant fear of precipitous loss and exclusion. This fear is the root cause of our collective negligence on all levels as its dynamic compounding nature renders it an all consuming priority over all else.” - Marc Gauvin
“Most all computer programmers should immediately spot that if currency symbols represent a data type or object class in object oriented programming they cannot be defined in terms of a conflation of other classes as that would constitute horizontal inheritance of properties which is an ontological programming nightmare completely prohibited as global data types." - Marc Gauvin
Yet ALL of the world of 'conventional economics' accepts and promotes this illiteracy!
In Applied Math any calculations in which a term is used that is undefined or illogically defined and not functionally applicable to the realm in which those calculations are to be used, those calculations are illiterate and meaningless.
How much of this would not even be a question of government if money itself was not thought to be a tradeable commodity but was only a unit of measure?
The moral wrangling inside the failings of applied math literacy and logical shortcomings of money will one day be just a joke about a truly foolish and mathematically illiterate populace.
Here is a presentation in which the AI called Grok can explicitly confirm the ages old errors and the correction:
One must first question which comes first within a free society – the freely initiated economic activity of the populace or the units used to record that activity? It is critical to understand freedom and sovereignty, and just basic logic, that ‘free enterprise’ cannot be subjugated to the pre-existence or pre-creation of the units that will record the activity and “value” of that enterprise. The problem we have in America is that having been told by Ben Franklin that we are free because we create our own money “in proportion to the needs of trade and industry” we have not challenged the order in which this whole process occurs. If the enterprise of the populace is dependent on the omniscience of the monetary issuer, or that monetary issuer will only “monetize” certain activity, then the enterprise of the populace Is Not Free. Franklin and the rest of the Founders were, perhaps, not aware of the conundrum they were repeating by holding on to the imperialist notion of precreation of the monetary unit. Holding on to that simple notion subjugates the enterprise to the unit creation process as opposed to having the enterprise activity itself be the thing that calls the monetary units into being.
The distinction is important to any populace that wants genuine sovereignty.
