I once wrote that "greed" was a "natural part of humanity"; I stated this like it was an inevitable attribute that has always been. I could not have been any further from the truth. After further study and observation I have come to find that greed is a behavior perpetuated through slavery. This is just like hatred is a behavior and war is a behavior as well. All of these negative aspects of human kind are taught and handed down from the previous generation; no one is born a racist. This is the part where I am going to catch a lot of grief from people: Where does greed come from? Answer: monetary systems and corporations fake an economy with false scarcity to drive a false demand to turn a profit and enslave the masses.
Our founding fathers put their lives on the line to fight the monetary systems of the European central banks. "The system of banking [is] a blot left in all our Constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction... I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity... is but swindling futurity on a large scale." Thomas Jefferson. Throughout history there has been a battle to stop banks and monetary systems, for when a monetary system is established, tyranny is certain. "The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice." Aristotle.
Why does money lead to tyranny? To understand this one must understand where money comes from. I will give you a brief synopsis of our current monetary system. In 1913 a central bank was established in the U.S. and they are called the Federal Reserve System, owned by private banks around the world. This is in complete conflict with the Constitution; Article I Section 8 which states "Congress shall have the power..
To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;
To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States;"
Under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 we relinquished power to control our money over to the federal reserve and they produce as much of it as they want, thus deserving punitive action from Congress.
The Federal Reserve does something truly magical, with their resource manual "Modern Money Mechanics" they are able to create money out of thin air. Here is an example, Our U.S. government says it needs 1 billion dollars, so the fed then buys 1 billion dollars in fake made up Treasury bonds from our government. Then the fed issues back 1 billion dollars in fake made up Federal Reserve notes to the government which the government promises to pay back, aka debt. Once the government deposits the recently acquired debt into a bank account, it then becomes legal money. The creation of debt = money. "That is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn't be any money." Marriner S. Eccles, Chairman and Governor of the Federal Reserve Board. According to the Modern Money Mechanics manual, 10 percent of this made up money must be kept as reserves. Now the banks loan out 90 percent of the 1 billion and expect to be paid back with interest, on money that they made up out of thin air. The creation of 1 billion dollars out of thin air, actually snow balls; it is loaned out over and over again creating more money out of nothing. This is why, since 1913 our dollar has experienced 97 percent inflation, because inflation, in a monetary system, is inevitable.
This atrocity is illegal, producing an extremely large population of poor, and starving people and killing our society; all the time we the sheeple of the United States and the world accept it as the only way to function. We are being kept perpetually in debt by an empire of corporations and banks. We are slaves to the elite. We submit to this ruling class of corrupt tyrants because they control the money. We stand idly by as our natural resources are bought up and wasted by this class. In this system of government and the Corprotocracy being so closely related the only way out is a failure of the system, which is also unavoidable.
Profit is the main proponent to a monetary system. In order to maximize profit it is impossible to be ethical, thus creating mistrust of humanity and crime. Think about it, if I sold chairs and you came into my shop and wanted to buy a chair and I said, "The chair next door is cheaper and better than mine" I wouldn't be in business very long. It is time for a new vision, a new direction for society to take; we must eliminate the cycle of monetary systems, by eliminating this slavery to money. What good does money do for us? Can we eat it? Can we use it to cure a disease? No. We must eliminate money all together and become a resource and technology based society. If you think about it, money has done nothing to increase the quality of life, nor government, nor religion. What has increased the quality of life is technology.
The technicians of the world have been the ones that truly helped society, not governments or corporations. Politicians exist because society thinks we need laws. Laws are created because politicians do not know how to fix the problem, but technicians do. If DUIs are that big of a problem, why not direct attention to preventing them through technology, not laws. Make cars that drive themselves. Crime exists because of money as well. A thief will steal because of his instinct to survive. In a resource based society, everyone has a high standard of living because technology is the driving force. Some skeptics say that this will cause people to be lazy and lose their drive. This is untrue, with a resource based society, intelligence would be trump and an intelligent society would not be complacent nor wage wars or allow starvation by hoarding resources and making them scarce.
Technology exists, right now, that can supply power to everyone on the planet using an infinite supply of renewable resources. Windmills, wave energy, solar energy, and the most efficient geothermal energy can all supply the planet with free sustainable energy.This Corprotocracy, keeps the emergence of free technologies from happening by controlling money and keeping us slaves. It is completely unnatural for this to occur; it is proven by machines replacing workers in a factory. This shows that technology is in direct competition with human labor. Machines are not replaced in the work force by people.
It is time that we stop being such a subservient mindless group of individuals and truly become civilized. War and poverty are not civilization; they are the products of societal manipulation. They are not "necessary" and they are not human. This societal controlling situation arises from the mental materialism that humans hold as self evident. Society has given into a set of standards and institutions and does not allow for emergent and progressive thought. Since the beginning of humanity unfathomable instances of symbiotic emergence have taken place; no one 2000 years ago could comprehend what today’s society would entail, for instance phones, jets, and even spaceships! Just like we can’t fathom the future 2000 years from now; unless we remain resolute in our archaic belief system. Then the future will be certainly easy to predict, it simply wouldn't exist for humanity. We must open our minds to even the most preposterous of proposals and consider every angle, because if we don’t, we are destined to replicate this unchanged cannibalistic degradation of our species.

Savoy, you suggest that money is the driving force of society. And suggest that technology and resources should, instead, be society's driving forces.
Let me attempt to point out the obvious. There is some driving force. There has been some driving force for a very long time. History overflows with some driving force, some common thread. It is up to us to understand what that driving force is.
I suggest survival is that driving force. Sometimes individual and personal servival, sometimes a family working together toward their better survival. And sometimes a group, larger than a family, that form agreements to work together. Finally, here and there, we find a few people who dedicated themselves to the better survival of a race, and sometimes, to some degree, to better the survival of mankind.
This is the driving force of mankind, nor can it be substitued for, but has always been the foundation mankind has worked from.
I don't think you quite understand the role of the profit motive. For instance, you urge that we use more renewable sources of energy: wind, sun, and tides. How much of each? Where? At what opportunity costs? How do you even gather that information? What resources do you expend even on that information-gathering step?
I don't expect you to answer all those questions in a brief article. My point is that there is no rational way to answer them, except by using a pricing system. And a pricing system simply could not work, unless supported by the profit motive. Remove either of those, and an advanced economy simply could not function.
hi Savoy, good article, very interesting perspective! you question the concept of "profit". It is a good question and you are not the first! many things accepted as fact are in truth religion!
