Central Banks such as the U.S. Federal Reserve System, the Bank of England and the Deutsche Bundesbank (AKA the banksters) have been running the world's financial affairs for several hundred years (since 1754, actually, when the banksters financed the first world war, called the Seven Years' War). Central Banks are supposedly owned by governments and so are "owned by us" the people. In fact the opposite is true in the same way that the pharmaceutical industry is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration which is a department of the U.S. government. The FDA is actually run by the pharmaceutical industry. In the same way, the banksters control the governments which supposedly are "owned by us" being those who live in every duhmockrisy. The only thing you can be 100% certain of is that you actually own nothing. They own you. If you are lucky, you are a cork bobbing in the ocean. If you are not so lucky, you are tossed among the rocks in a raging river. Some — who think they are socialists helping the 99% — believe government is the answer, but government is part of the problem.
Here is the REAL News Network on the Eurozone:
We the people need honest money. We need digital gold. We need to get rid of the banksters along with their phony money and bloody wars. The looming global financial disaster could be a disaster only for the banksters, not us. It depends what we choose, more of the same or something better.

Depression and Mental Illness
© MMXI V.1.0.3
by Morley Evans
Depression and Mental Illness result from poor nutrition.
Dr. Joseph Goldberger, a young doctor who most likely had read some Spanish history in the New York Library while he was a medical student, cured Pellagra with good wholesome fresh food grown in vegetable gardens. Later, it was decided, likely by the pharmaceutical industry, that Niacin was the "active ingredient" that was responsible and Vitamin B was added to some foods, especially milk.
The Pellagra epidemic rampant in the South ended quietly. Even so, nutrition — not pharmaceutical drugs — cures Pellagra along with the Dermatitis, Diarrhea, Dementia and Death of the disease progression. Deficient food is the cause. Complete food is the cure: a variety of fresh, whole, and raw vegetables and fruit is the ideal regimen for good health and long life. Here is Dr. Andrew Saul, Ph.D. presented by FoodMatters (Australia):
The medical establishment — whose immediate predecessors had dismissed Dr. Lister and Louis Pasteur as quacks — were looking for a Pellagra germ they could destroy with an antibiotic. Despite their pretensions, these people who run medicine are stupid. Amazingly, despite exposing grotesque error, Dr. Goldberger was not destroyed, the usual fate of anyone who exposes any Establishment, medical or otherwise.
Mega-doses of vitamins can be therapeutically useful. The vast array of micro-nutrients in whole foods and whole-food based supplements like JuicePLUS+ are required by everyone every day.

Final Judgement
© MMXI V.1.0.5
By Morley Evans
Are you a sheep or are you a goat? Do you support the monstrous crimes committed every hour round the world by the Empire? Do you push aside the weaker sheep and take the best for yourself? Do you believe comfortable lies or do you seek truth, however uncomfortable? Do you laugh at the misfortunes you create for others? You — who think you are so smart and powerful — what future have you made for yourself? None deny that no one takes a thing from this world beyond the grave.
Matthew 25:31-46
English Standard Version (ESV)
The Final Judgment
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' 40 And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[a] you did it to me.'
41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' 44 Then they also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' 45 Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.' 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

There is an inverse relationship between the cost of food and the cost of medicine: the less we spend on food, the more we spend on medicine. We consume cheap junk food that gives us cancer and cardiovascular disease that doctors try to cure with junk medicine which can cure neither. Cheap junk food drives farmers out of business while agribusiness, junk science and pharmaceuticals destroy the world we live in and us.

Canadian "Healthcare"
© MMXI v.1.1.2
by Morley Evans
Dear Jane Doe in Nova Scotia,
by Morley Evans
Dear Jane Doe in Nova Scotia,
The Canadian medical system is a cesspool of corruption. Your case adds weight to that statement. This didn't start with Tommy Douglas or Pierre Trudeau and Monique Bégin. Douglas merely made a pact with the devil and sold an iron-clad arrangement to pay doctors out of the public trough as "free medicare". Trudeau saw a profitable political program and Bégin foisted it with an iron fist onto the entire country for her boss, Pierre the wonderboy. They made Canadian "healthcare" a Canadian religion so we peasants could serve the medical aristocrats. They fraudulently sold it as "socialism". Power did NOT go to the people.
I believe everything you say. But it doesn't matter what you say or what evidence you have. It doesn't matter what I say or what anyone says. The pharmaceutical industry: pharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical doctors, pharmaceutical nurses, pharmacies, pharmaceutical hospitals, pharmaceutical medical schools and "regulatory agencies" that are actually run behind the scenes by the pharmaceutical industry have had the country by the balls since Confederation. They have corrupted every Canadian institution from the Supreme Court of Canada to the CBC and the rest of the "free press". The legislatures and the lawyers in Canada are corrupt. They are a joke. Canada is worse than any Third World country because Canadians have no idea how things really are. They smile and proudly salute the flag. They bend over to get screwed. Canadians believe all the lies their leaders tell them. In Guatemala the peasants at least know what's what. Third World ignorant peons are smarter than we are.
We victims have no chance of getting a dime out of this system. THEY COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT US. Don't waste your time or worry your pretty little head. Look after yourself first. Do what you can to get healthy. Avoid everything the pharmaceutical bastards advertise. They have nothing you want or need, especially in Canada. Nutrition with exercise is the ticket to good health. Look for an acupuncturist, naturopath, osteopath, remedial masseur or chiropractor. Consider JuicePLUS+ It helps me. Everyone is helped by good nutrition and exercise. Everyone is harmed by bad nutrition, pharmaceutical nostrums that provide relief by masking disease and inactivity. Do what you can. Every journey of ten thousand miles begins with one step. Take a step. Start walking. You'll get better than you are and you might be surprised how well you get. Don't worry about what you've lost. It's gone. Be thankful you are alive.
You and I and tens of millions of other Canadians have a political problem, not a legal problem. None of us has a medical problem that pharmaceutical medicine can solve. We suffer from chronic diseases caused by adulterated food, man-made chemicals and inactivity. They have NOTHING to offer people with cancer or cardiovascular disease, the number one and number two killers. They still say, "Take two Aspirin and call me in the morning." Yes indeedy. Aspirin can prevent cancer, stroke and heart disease, diabetes, dementia and even pregnancy complications according to them. Many of us have serious medical problems pharmaceutical medicine caused with its stupid ideas, such as the war on cholesterol and mammograms to name but two. You were harmed by malpractice. I certainly was, but Canadian pharmaceutical doctors don't care what harm they cause. They don't have to care.
One orthopedic surgeon in Regina cut off the wrong leg. Nothing happened to the doctor. He is still practicing "medicine" as one of Regina's leading citizens. His victim is getting along with no legs. Not one word of this made it into the "free press". It came from an insider who wished to remain anonymous, of course. There are a million stories in the Naked City. But you will never hear about them. Canadians like to think positively. If they kill you, that's your though luck. Life in Canada is just like a hockey game. Your story is valuable, Jane. You are a human being. You have value!
Whatever anyone does or fails to do, the Canadian "healthcare" system is collapsing because Canada can't afford it and it doesn't work anyway. The people who run it can all go to Hell where they will get what they deserve. For years, they have been arriving at the eternal inferno with their pockets stuffed with cash, but they are always out of luck. Tell your story, Jane. That's how you will get justice. You don't need those people to get well. They have nothing to offer.
Am I pissed off? You bet. I take a very dim view of people who try to kill me and then get to laugh about it. Like most, I once believed their lies. It took a long time, but I finally learned my lesson. I gave them every chance — I gave them even more than the last twenty years. They are unrepentant. They are not interested, but you can profit from my experience. We aren't trapped. We can either get sucked into the living death offered by pharmaceutical medicine (go to an old folks home and look at the drugged inmates there to see what I mean) or we can choose life. Step through this door and never look back.

We Have Seen The Enemy
© MMXI V.1.0.6
by Morley Evans
We have seen the enemy and he is us. - Pogo (Walt Kelly)
This sums up the 20th century in one paragraph:
New Deal make-work programs did not end the Great Depression. That was ended by World War II which put everyone to work in the war economy. Inflation — that reversed deflation which had caused the Great Depression — paid for it. That is what the United States has been doing ever since 1945 and we have had non-stop wars and inflation since then. It seemed to work in the 1940s and 1950s. It stopped working in the 1960s. By the 1970s Germany, France and Switzerland were demanding payment in gold and Nixon "closed the gold window." Then, Nixon went to China and started the beginning of the end for the U.S. economy when he took China off the shit list and started buying manufactured Chinese goods. Mao won the war thanks to Nixon, Deng Xiaoping and Chinese workers who do excellent work for less. Guns, bombs and financial hocus pocus lost, period, but the U.S. and its vassals keep trying them anyway.
World War II was not fought to "save the world from fascism." It was fought to smash the rivals of the Anglo-American Empire and provide the Empire with an insurmountable lead over everyone else. Guess who actually started WW II? It wasn't Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo. The same people started WW I, the Spanish American War, the Boer Wars, and also the Napoleonic (world) Wars which crushed France the second time and the Seven Years (world) War which crushed France the first time. Each victory established an insurmountable lead for the Empire over all of its rivals. You may have noticed that people keep catching up and new wars are always required to stay ahead. We are always fooled to go off to war.
We are the world's only remaining superpower: boasted the United States with the victory in the Cold War as the USSR dissolved. Ours is the most powerful military the world has ever known.
Have this thought on "Remembrance Day" on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month which celebrates the Great Victories of 1945 and 1918 and the rest of our victories stretching back to the Spanish Armada and beyond. Don't forget the Civil War, although that war has its own special American day, Memorial Day. Read English history back to 1066 when the modern era really began. We have been saving the world from a fate worse than death for a thousand years. We are so noble.

The 1% vs The 99%
© MMXI V.1.0.1
by Morley Evans
Here are some thoughts that will be unpopular in many quarters:
by Morley Evans
Here are some thoughts that will be unpopular in many quarters:
There is no doubt that 1% are doing very well while 99% are not, figuratively speaking. On TheREALNews.com I watched Bill Black say that three things are required [1]: 1). stop paying people to do nothing and pay them to do something; 2). stop foreclosures; 3). jail the banksters. While I agree with the problem as Black defines it and also with the solutions, the devil is in the details. The interviewee, Black and The REAL News interviewer, Paul Jay, represent the "progressive" movement. They are unreconstructed New Dealers, socialists and communists. They put their faith in the concentration of power. Their solution is to put good people into power, jerry-rig the markets to enrich the producers, and redistribute wealth through taxation. As a libertarian, I know that is a vain hope and that it always fails because power is concentrated. What is needed is the exact opposite: power must be distributed, not concentrated.
The banksters should be jailed for the crimes they have committed. Bernie Madoff agrees! I like Bernie. He's honest. The Fed should be abolished along with all the world's central banks. We need honest money. Digital gold must replace fiat money. Since it was set up before WW I, the Fed has taken over the government of the United States and the world.
Stop foreclosures and throwing people into the street. The U.S. real estate market was inflated by fraud and collusion with crooked lawmakers and regulators. Houses were fraudulently over-valued so people with no chance of qualifying for a mortgage could "buy a house" they could not afford.
New Deal make-work programs did not end the Great Depression. That was ended by World War II and putting everyone to work in the war economy. Inflation — that reversed deflation which had caused the Great Depression — paid for it. That is what the United States has been doing ever since 1945 and we have had non-stop wars since then. It seemed to work in the 40s and 50s. It stopped working in the 60s. By the 70s Germany, France and Switzerland were demanding payment in gold and Nixon "closed the gold window." Then, Nixon went to China and started the beginning of the end for the U.S. economy when he took China off the shit list. Mao won the war thanks to Nixon and Deng Xiaoping and Chinese workers who do excellent work for less. Guns and bombs lost, period, but the U.S. keeps trying it anyway.
The graph below shows U.S. productivity rising with all that money being appropriated by the rich owners. In fact, U.S. worker productivity has declined because people who work for big wages, have thirty days a year in paid vacations, and fully indexed pensions starting at age 60 cannot possibly compete with Chinese workers who live in dormitories, eat in cafeterias and work 12 hour days for a dollar and hour. It is impossible. Canadian workers are even less productive than American workers.
Greeks who all work for the government (figuratively speaking) and do nothing productive (defined as what someone would pay them to do if they had a choice) are out of luck once the Germans decide they won't loan them any more money! Germans are asking why they should pay Greeks to sit in government offices and shuffle paper. Greeks are "demanding their rights" by going on strike and rioting in the streets. Huh? What will that do for anyone? Why don't they make something people want to buy? When the Great World-Wide Financial Melt-Down comes — and its coming — what will we do?
American productivity cannot be increased by robots to improve the workers' position. The Japanese, Chinese, Germans, Brazilians, have robots. They know all about robots.
Buzz Hargrove and his successor at the Canadian Auto Workers Union are straight out of the dark ages of the British Trade Union Movement and the British Labour Party which was brought to the United States by Samuel Gompers (AFL) in the 19th century. We need to look at labour relations in Germany and Japan to see why those countries have succeeded while we have failed. Instead of scapegoating the Germans, we could learn something, instead of continuing to do the same dumb things.
This is what works: PRODUCERS SERVE CUSTOMERS, NOT THEMSELVES. Producers do things for other people that those people want them to do. That is what works.
Producers (owners and workers) who don't understand this go out of business. This is true for individual businesses and for entire countries. Great Britain, I was surprised to learn from an article that Fareed Zakaria wrote almost twenty years ago had already been surpassed by Singapore! The U.S.A. is going that way fast. The big losers of the wars of the 20th century, Germany, Japan, and China are the big winners today. Why is that? India, which was the big loser with British colonialism owns great portions of Great Britain today. Great Britain which today is behind Germany, France and Italy — and is a very junior partner in the U.S. Empire — has to eat a heaping helping of humble pie.
People need honest money and an honest legal system that protects them from crooks. As Bill Black says "The best way to rob a bank is to own one."
People need honest money and an honest legal system that protects them from crooks. As Bill Black says "The best way to rob a bank is to own one."
Canada is all puffed up like an empty balloon. Pop! Harper is not your friend, Canada, neither is the NDP or the Liberal Party of Canada. They all pretend to act in the best interests of the people. They don't. They all act in the best interest of their own members and you aren't a member of the club. They are your friends only at election-time.

Lee Kwan Yew
© MMXI v.1.0.2
From Foreign Affairs Magazine March/April 1994 by Fareed Zakaria
"One of the asymmetries of history," wrote Henry Kissinger of Singapore’s patriarch Lee Kuan Yew, "is the lack of correspondence between the abilities of some leaders and the power of their countries." Kissinger’s one time boss, Richard Nixon, was even more flattering. He speculated that, had Lee lived in another time and another place, he might have "attained the world stature of a Churchill, a Disraeli, or a Gladstone." This tag line of a big man on a small stage has been attached to Lee since the 1970s. Today, however, his stage does not look quite so small. Singapore’s per capita GNP is now higher than that of its erstwhile colonizer, Great Britain. It has the world’s busiest port, is the third-largest oil refiner and a major center of global manufacturing and service industries. And this move from poverty to plenty has taken place within one generation. In 1965 Singapore ranked economically with Chile, Argentina and Mexico; today its per capita GNP is four or five times theirs. [Singapore does not have an army, navy or airforce to bully others or defend itself.]
Lee managed this miraculous transformation in Singapore’s economy while maintaining tight political control over the country; Singapore’s government can best be described as a "soft" authoritarian regime, and at times it has not been so soft. He was prime minister of Singapore from its independence in 1959 (it became part of a federation with Malaysia in 1963 but was expelled in 1965) until 1990, when he allowed his deputy to succeed him. He is now "Senior Minister" and still commands enormous influence and power in the country. Since his retirement, Lee has embarked on another career of sorts as a world-class pundit, speaking his mind with impolitic frankness. And what is often on his mind is American-style democracy and its perils. He travels often to East Asian capitals from Beijing to Hanoi to Manila dispensing advice on how to achieve economic growth while retaining political stability and control. It is a formula that the governing elites of these countries are anxious to learn.
Is Culture Destiny? The Myth of Asia's Anti-Democratic Values
- Kim Dae Jung
Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew has suggested that the "Western concepts" of democracy and human rights will not work in Asia. This is false: Asia has its own venerable traditions of democracy, the rule of law, and respect for the people. Asia's destiny is to improve Western concepts, not ignore them.
What else was happening in the neighborhood when Singapore blossomed under Lee Kwan Yew? Lots: the War in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos raged, Pol Pot's killing fields wiped out half the Cambodians, a military junta took over Burma, Ferdinand Marcos's dictatorship ruled the Philippines and millions of Indonesians died as power went from Sukarno to Suharto. Thailand was heavily militarized by the United States. Compared to this, Singapore's achievement under Lee Kwan Yew is even more remarkable.
Summing Up, the future is this:
Politics and military force are out as ways to decide what happens. Producers serve customers, not themselves, and all are equal before the law. This is not some impossible hope but how things actually work in a successful, harmonious, prosperous, happy, human society that is in balance with nature, its neighbours, itself and the cosmos.

Lee Kwan Yew |
Lee managed this miraculous transformation in Singapore’s economy while maintaining tight political control over the country; Singapore’s government can best be described as a "soft" authoritarian regime, and at times it has not been so soft. He was prime minister of Singapore from its independence in 1959 (it became part of a federation with Malaysia in 1963 but was expelled in 1965) until 1990, when he allowed his deputy to succeed him. He is now "Senior Minister" and still commands enormous influence and power in the country. Since his retirement, Lee has embarked on another career of sorts as a world-class pundit, speaking his mind with impolitic frankness. And what is often on his mind is American-style democracy and its perils. He travels often to East Asian capitals from Beijing to Hanoi to Manila dispensing advice on how to achieve economic growth while retaining political stability and control. It is a formula that the governing elites of these countries are anxious to learn.
Is Culture Destiny? The Myth of Asia's Anti-Democratic Values
- Kim Dae Jung
Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew has suggested that the "Western concepts" of democracy and human rights will not work in Asia. This is false: Asia has its own venerable traditions of democracy, the rule of law, and respect for the people. Asia's destiny is to improve Western concepts, not ignore them.
What else was happening in the neighborhood when Singapore blossomed under Lee Kwan Yew? Lots: the War in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos raged, Pol Pot's killing fields wiped out half the Cambodians, a military junta took over Burma, Ferdinand Marcos's dictatorship ruled the Philippines and millions of Indonesians died as power went from Sukarno to Suharto. Thailand was heavily militarized by the United States. Compared to this, Singapore's achievement under Lee Kwan Yew is even more remarkable.
Summing Up, the future is this:
Politics and military force are out as ways to decide what happens. Producers serve customers, not themselves, and all are equal before the law. This is not some impossible hope but how things actually work in a successful, harmonious, prosperous, happy, human society that is in balance with nature, its neighbours, itself and the cosmos.
