Crime Against Humanity: “Legal” Tender, or The Moneypoly of Moneypulation, 5
You may object, so what? Wait till you see this and the other gears meshing… So let’s see how government and law are the tools of puppeteers to monopolise the philosopher’s stone; let’s call it “moneypoly”: the monopolisation of moneypulation…
It begins with government demanding payment of its taxes in its legal tender, which is a first abuse; this sort of closes the cycle of monopoly, and is but the economic implementation of domination by force.
Leave aside for a moment who owns legal sovereignty and monetary sovereignty; whoever criminal is your creditor, the moment you are burdened by a debt and you are bound to repay it in something issued by the creditor, you’re screwed for good. Remember the changeover from fertile to infertile media of payment? If I lend you some seeds, even if I lend them at interest, you sow them, they fructify and produce more seeds, so after you’ve returned me my seeds, even though increased by the interest, much more are still left and we all succeed. If I have the monopoly of creating money and lend you some at interest, first you have to accept money from other people in exchange for your products in order to have that whom you have to return me, and second you must give me something that I want from you to get from me that additional money for the interest. In other words, welcome to the infinite debt trap. The bottom line is, the moment you owe me something and that something you have to get from me, you’re mine.
Just in passing, this is also demonstrated by what someone has keenly observed and someone else has foully exploited: making something mandatory drives its value artificially up, whatever that something is. And it drives the value of the other things artificially down in comparison as well, starting with its competitors, such as mandatory valueless money does to intrinsic valued money. All forms of the same fraudulent wealth transfer. And what drives its value up is nothing more than the gun to one’s head.
