PRESS RELEASE: Since its inception in 2011, the E. C. Riegel Blog has developed into an impressive library of resources enabling one to understand the potential power and significance of actually earning and using your own money.
We'll attempt to make it plain exactly why people are more valuable than anything else and that this posits a better basis for a monetary system than anything else. We offer a unique but obvious perspective on money, economics and the economy.
Our mission has been from the beginning to offer humanity the basic economic lifeboats away from a system that we believe is like the Titanic in its ultimate fate. We do not want to be aboard her or have anything to do with her. It was said, “come out of her, my people,” etc.
We took particular cognizance of the opening statements on this forum. We don't know whether it is active or not, but we agree with everything said. Everything, especially the right NOT to associate. We simply cannot do that until we have our own money, period. So please take a look at the proposal and get back to me concerning any ideas you may have to bring it into being.
As Riegel himself said, without the freedom represented by money issue, the other freedoms are really pointless. If we have that power and it eventually prevails, then we get to call the shots when THEIR money ultimately fails; no more wars, no more immigration without limits, no more, no more, etc. We want our freedom, we want no more of theirs.
We also have to start walking out on them, disrupting their terrible plans, socially shunning their company and any who work for them, do not treat these people as friends, etc. This can and would cause cleavages to break even in families.
But these people who pay us have not earned our trust. In fact we have to grow some “horns of iron and hooves of brass.” I'm particularly seeking out people in law enforcement for the right reasons, their grandmothers, lawyers who may be able to keep the beast from us until it is no more, and the “pillars of society” people whose businesses are characteristic of their locations and hallmarks of their communities, without which their locations would not be what they are. These many might call the John or Jane Galts of their areas.
The first thing is to organize what I have called the International Value/Valun Exchange Society or IVES. Call it what you will, this organization would be the servant of all the local Valun exchanges that would spring up. Then we have to set to work finding and organizing among ourselves in our local communities.
We don't have that long before their system bites the dust. Then they'll offer us a new one with more police state aparat, none of which we want but all of which is necessary to keep their agenda going. THEY PAY FOR IT WITH THEIR MONEY AND WE ARE ALL SLAVES TO IT. Since this is obvious we have to devise our own.
But even if we had a hundred years, how much is held back simply because we have to rely on borrowing more of THEIR money? Right. You're wasting your life. What does your community need that you could provide if there were money to pay for it? It's time to STOP relying on them and doing our own thing.
Any comments may be used by me for future articles, but I am about this because it is the truth and for no other reason. If you see what I see and have ideas what to do, let me hear from you.
