Mammon, the Deity Money: the Cult, the Dogmas and the High Priests
The demonisation of money as the devil’s dung is commonplace. It has been said in endless ways: “Mammon, son of Satan, I unleash you unto this world.” “Mammon has no patience for his father's rule and yearns to forge his own kingdom of fire and blood.” Some ridicule those who personify evil and call it Satan, but it is worth investigating the manipulation of those who ridicule as much as or even more than the manipulation of those that are ridiculed. As far as we’re concerned, we already know there are evil intentions; what we’re interested in is to get somewhere, and to get somewhere what we’re interested in is how, exactly, this demonisation takes place.
So the news is that I think we can finally put our finger on what it is all about, exactly. It’s not money in itself, which as a medium of credit, payment and exchange is essential; it is its exploitation as a Trojan horse: it is moneypulation. After all, we do know things are targeted by suppressives, criminals, potential trouble sources and morons to the degree they are valuable, don’t we?
A first order of moneypulation is educating people into a money centric overall view of the world and of existence and to the cult of money, no matter how consciuos or unconscious, with all the resulting consequences in terms of third party action within the whole mankind.
Our money centric brainwashing may be difficult to see due to what has been called “the fish in the water problem”: it encompasses and shapes any and all aspects of our existences just like water does with fishes whom, having been born in water, educated in water, and having led their whole existences in water, take water for granted to such an extent that they can hardly even detect its presence or conceive its absence or of any alternatives to it.
As a matter of fact, economy is at the service of people; life is the end, money is the means. And when this is reversed and people becomes at the service of “economy”, and money becomes the end and life the means, the pushers of this idea act as a third party because an idea like this puts us all against each other, and at that point any crime against humanity, life, and the environment which supports us, becomes not only possible, but perfectly justified. And we’re all doomed.

A second order is the moneypulators self−proclaiming the monopolistic high priests of the cult: “There is one god and it is money, and we are its sacred, salvific and godlike high priests. Bow down to us!”
We’re nobody’s fools, and by now we do know how it goes with kings without clothes: their whole house of rigged cards works as long as we’re subjugated into not daring to tell one another what’s in front of our noses: their unpleasant nudity.
And better yet we do know how such high priests invent gods or their privileged relationship to them to the specific purpose of covering themselves and their misdeeds and moneypulations with the dogmatic reflected light of the “gods”.
A third order is the destructive lie that money is made out of money, that one gets rich through money, because this is based on speculation, that is, on out exchange, and it is a dangerous robbers’ game where not only what one loots is at the expense of someone else, but when life is reduced to a homo homini lupus robbers’ race, it is not dissimilar to a rat race in a hamster wheel, where there’s always another robber ahead of you in the race to nowhere.
The pushers of this idea too act as a third party putting us all against each other, and such an idea also shifts the emphasis from producing survival factors to stealing them instead of producing them, with the obvious consequences for us all. How this is implemented in practice is by the way demonstrated by the studies of Vladimir Z. Nuri, which show mathematically among other things that entrusting one’s money to inflationary fractional reserve banks to produce more money is not at all better compared to the actual increase of production while the non−expanding money supply brings about deflation. Deflation is not necessarily bad. On the contrary, feeding banks produces inflation which is only ever a hidden tax to the benefit of the actual holders of monetary sovereignty, a wealth transfer to the moneypulators, a robbery.
