The Lost Science of Money, pt. 1 - Stephen Zarlenga (FULL)

One of the factions that controls nearly every moment of our lives is hardly understood by the large majority of the population. To gain an understanding of today's topic deepens our understanding of the world and how it works and exactly what we can do to effect change when and where needed.
Our deepening investigation into the freedom of consciousness cannot go without a deeper understanding of what we all use for exchange or trade - money.
Exactly how we define the word 'money' defines our very society and affects nearly every facet of our lives. It also tells us exactly what we can expect from our political representatives. All we need is to understand the language of money.
Beginning today in this detailed two part series we begin to look into the fundamental concepts of money: What is money and how is it defined? What is the history of money? How does it tie to religion, government and private business? What is the difference between credit and money? What is FIAT money? Is there a difference between private versus nationalized banks and how they operate? And why is any of this important to YOU? And how could it possibly affect YOUR life?
Stephen Zarlenga is the founder of the American Monetary Institute (AMI) - the leading American monetary think tank for monetary history, theory and reform. An economic historian and author, Zarlenga provides us the clearest picture of how money and monetary systems work in his incredible 2002 tome The Lost Science of Money, and he's also the author of the American Monetary Act, submitted to congress by Dennis Kucinich in March of this year.

i'm against the leftist policy of zarlenga. the money necessary to stop deflation should be used to pay off the national debt and end income taxation first. also, adam smith debunked competing and "free market" currency, the reason behind article 1.10 and the end of colonial currency. i have some other minor differences, but those are the major ones from the interview.

[GnosticMedia]

@jeepndesert You couldn't have misunderstood Zarlenga's possition any worse than you have. If you read his book, he outlines very clearly how to pay of the debt, to bankers, BTW, who created that debt out of nothing. Leftist, exactly what does that mean? And as for Adam Smith, nearly all of his nonsense has been refuted. I've cited this several times already, but please see The Philosophic Corruption of Physics by David Harriman - who destroys Smith.

[jeepndesert]

@GnosticMedia in other words, i'm not trying to debunk zarlenga. i'm just trying to say there is common ground between adam smith and zarlenga. i'm just nit-picking the contents of the interview.

[GnosticMedia]

@jeepndesert Smith and Zarlenga are nothing similar. You should read Zarlenga's book - where he dedicates several chapters to refuting Smith. You should also hear David Harriman's lecture on the Philosophic Corruption of Physics - where he reveals how Smith's ideas are based entirely on debunked Kantian philosophy.

[GnosticMedia]

@MoneyIsSilver That's because you didn't bother to actually read the book, look at the evidence, use critical thinking, or judge the historical evidence before you chose to use false rhetoric in your one sentence. People who sell and make money off of silver and gold should be locked up. They're nothing but  money changers who don't contribute anything of value to society. Study how your money philosophies are based on the refuted Kant - The Philosophic Corruption of Physics by David Harriman

"Mike Montagne a mathematician & the author of Mathematically Perfected Economy addressing certain flaws in the Secret of Oz " alleged " economic monetary solution.

Mike also asks Bill Still, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Ellen Hodgson Brown, Stephen Zarlenga for a debate on his radio show broadcast on TNS radio.There is no other solution.Regulation can only temper an inherently terminal process.If you're not promoting Mathematically Perfected Economy Then you condemn us to monetary failure......"

@SuperBillego is it not strange that on September 28, 2011 someone posted @ gnosticmediaDOTcom this info under the [ Peace Revolution episode 012: Origins of Money / A Virtual Round-Table Discussion ] but never received a response !? i would like Jan to apply the Trivium = BullShit Detector to this situation & have Mike Montagne on to present the Facts ! ........

[SuperBillego]

@Haudenosaunee4 Right on, Mike has the solution, the rest are plagiarists with their own agendas, probably paid by the banking elites to co-opt and further obfuscate the issue of interest.

[jeepndesert]

@AustrianLens Bill Still is running for President on the Libertarian Party ticket with the same monetary reform as Zarlenga, minus the health insurance and infrastructure spending. He already has delegates pledging votes in three states. You shouldn't dismiss the central idea so quickly with your neo-conversative brainwashing from the Rockefeller Foundation's (UN, Fed Res, Standard Oil, Amoco, Chase Bank) Austrian School of Economics. ASE is not Libertarian nor Classical Liberal.

@playaz33 if anything, the coins should be taxed to collect the public rent on the use of the rare natural resources for private purposes.

[jeepndesert]

@playaz33 i'm a libertarian. i believe in the separation of commodity markets and state. the state can mint coins and regulate them for a direct user fee. however, the government should not accept or spend coins because it is a corruption of commodity markets, creating fictitious values for the commodities, allowing individuals to steal wealth with what was originally god's toil and property of humanity in common, natural resources.

[jeepndesert]

@GnosticMedia i have also recently had my eyes opened that if you solve either the monetary or land problem, the one you don't solve will be worse. if solving monetary first, you'll have another housing bubble and previous holders of national debt now holding corporate bonds will make corporate influence of government worse. thus, if you can't implement lvt, solving the insurance problem and focus on land-based infrastructure would help with newly created poverty and corruption.

[jeepndesert]

@GnosticMedia i'm not against the idea of public insurance, as insurance is usury, and the idea of infrastructure funding justified with the idea of land as wealth in common to humanity. i just think monetary reform is important enough that the focus should be on the monetary issue to better sell the idea rather than have to sell the other classical liberal ideas of insurance being usury and land being public property. i agree with zarlenga, it just comes off as neo-leftist.

[jeepndesert]

@GnosticMedia i'm not saying they are similar. i'm just saying that adam smith (and the framers of the constitution) and zarlenga both are against the idea of free banking. i understand there are problems with adam smith, as with any single individual economic theory. i'm just saying adam smith was correct in his criticism of free banking as zarlenga is.
