Slave by default

 

I want to talk a little about money. Money is the grease of trade. That’s all it is. Don’t go off on a tangent. THAT’S ALL IT IS. What is money itself? Some people equate it with gold or silver, or various jewels. And to a degree, this might be true, because these thing can not be consumed, they are pretty and stable over time. That is to say, people value these things over generations. They make a good marker.

Now let’s talk about life. What is life made of? You’re born, you grow up, you get old and die. What’s on your tombstone? The day you were born and the day you died, a length of time. Your life is made of time. That’s it. Don’t go off on a tangent, that’s it.

What is slavery? That’s when someone else lays claim to your time. They claim to own you, they feed you, clothes you, house you, educate you and exploit your talents as they please. Your time answers to them. What are you doing as a slave, well most of the work to make a city or culture function. In many cases, things that need to be done. That is to say, you’re productive. Even though you may doing things you don’t really approve of.

So… What is freedom? In this scenario, control over your own time. You own productivity, but this leaves food, clothing, housing and education and exploitation of your talents up to you. How do you built a city, a culture? Who does the work? If you want to benefit from the things that a culture brings, then you have to pitch in, and you do so by selling your time for money. By selling your talents for money. By doing so, you build a city for yourself and others and in return are paid money, you can buy food, clothing, housing and education and determine these things for yourselves. That is to say, you are your money. It represents time in your life and your freedom of self determination. (To have your time do as you want.)

So… The harder you work, the better you are at what you do, the more you’re worth by default. Where am I going with this?

You can’t eat gold. Quit thinking gold gives money value, it doesn’t. The only value the money has, is the work you put into it. If you do a days work for a piece of silver, then that piece of silver represents the time it took you to earn it. What is it worth? It’s worth whatever that piece of silver will buy. That’s the way it works.

The food, the clothing, the housing ect… whatever it is you do, that other people want. That, and that alone, gives money value. If nobody wants it, if there is nothing to buy..? Well, you can’t eat gold.

So… if someone else is spending your money, in which you have time (life) invested, if someone else is telling what you can and can’t buy, with your invested time, if someone else is telling you, you have to buy this or that. If you’re money is being spent in ways you disapprove, by people you disapprove of, how are you not a slave by default.

Now… for just a moment, think about all the fraud they have uncovered in our government. Think about the billions of dollars just stolen and spent to their desires.

Now… what does money represent? (Life) How much money can a common fellow make in a lifetime? How many collective lifetimes have they stolen and just thrown away. How much longer are you going to be a slave to the lackeys in this country?

I ask you? I put it to you…

Tolerance

 

I think we need to discuss the word ‘tolerance.’ We tend to throw this word around as a weapon to get people to accept poor behavior, “You need to be more tolerant!” “You’re intolerant.!” This throws people, because they don’t know what it means, except that it means space, So too often, they back down from defending their values and the poor behavior continues, and gets worse. Because we don’t know what tolerance is, but we know it’s important.

So, let’s talk about it. ‘Tolerance;’ “the space allotted between two moving parts.” There has to be a space between two moving parts in order for them to move. If the space is to close, then the parts generate a lot of heat and fail. If the space is too large, it tends to go out of balance and beats itself to pieces. If you’re of any age at all, you’ve seen this. Bicycles, cars, an old fan, a squealing air-conditioner, the tolerances have to be maintained, or you have problems.

We have all seen steam locomotives, think about the drive rod that turns the wheels. Think about where it connects to the wheel. Think about how often it changes direction; with tremendous force, as it turns the wheel. Back and forth, back and forth, on and on…Round and round... Those tolerances have to be just right, I mean just right, or that locomotive will beat itself to smithereens, and it wouldn’t take long.

So how does that apply to the culture? Can you see how they are trying to use the word? They depend on you not knowing what it means, but knowing it’s important, because you went to a public school. But now you know.

So think about it, if tolerances are too tight, nothing gets done and tempers flair (like a dictator,) but if they get to loose, the culture beats itself to pieces. So…..????

This was the wisdom of our founding fathers, our tolerances are spelled out in the US Constitution. ‘It is our tolerances.’ We hold this (The Constitution) above the men who serve it, because it’s wisdom is above those who serve it. Notice I said serve it, the Constitution. That’s because, the way it works, is, your elected public officials don’t serve you (sorry), they serve the Constitution, and it’s the Constitution that serves you. Go read it.

How does it do that…? Okay… First…. If you are indeed a free people, than food, sleep and sex is none of the governments business. If you are getting any of these from the government, than you are not free. (We are way out of tolerance.) As a Free people the Constitution says, I have a right to private property. If I buy it, it’s mine. The Constitutions stands behind the money, says you can’t steal from me, are we (the people) will hunt down anyone who does. It says you can’t be killing me, are we (the people) will hunt down anyone who does…. Protects me (by we the people) from enemies, local and abroad.

The Constitution (We the People) protects my right to free speech, but also protects the guy who reacts to it, and has his say.

Now think about this one… If these protections come from the Constitution (We the People), than it is obvious that the Constitution (We the People) should be armed and prepared to defend it’s boundaries. If the persons charged with serving the Constitution, decide we should serve them instead…. Well…. The Constitution (We the People) itself is armed and prepared and thus can correct it.

Believe it or not, the Constitution (We the People) was written as to limit what ‘We the People’ could do. That is to say, the resulting government was limited in what it could do. Other than Life, Liberty and Justice… the government (We the People) have no say. The rest is left up to you, the person, or your State if you and your neighbors so choose. That is to say, you can’t be envious, you are the same as your neighbor under the Law (The Constitution – We the People). So go and do something useful, build something useful, be useful to somebody, for this is what life it, what culture is, what freedom is. This is what gives the money value, YOU being of use. There is no free ride...that’s a lie. The more people doing nothing, the less the money is worth. If everybody is working, then the money gains great value. I’ve never heard anyone put it this way, but it’s so. There is no gold, there is no silver, there is no oil, there is only paper money and cheap coinage the government (We the People) print. You can’t eat any of those. The only real value the money has, is the work you put into it. The more work, the greater the value, the less work, well surely you’re following along by now………

So….. Now that we know what tolerances are, and how important they are in keeping a well oiled machine running and working and feeding everyone through work and exchange, with no need for government interference.

So….. Think about your tolerances, and just what do you tolerate.? ….and from whom…? Think about your government (You the People) and how far out of tolerance you the people (your government) are. So be careful on who you blame for what…. But it’s time to clean up the machine, oil it, and bring it back into proper tolerances.
